Chapter 17: The Lace Mercenary Squad

At this time, there was another girl on the stage, with blonde hair, a touching dimple on her face, a replica priest's robe, and a prop book in her hand, playing the story of Bruce, the holy priest of the Seven Heroes, who was holding the "Praise of Light" and spreading the blessings of the gods of light to a civilian who had been injured by war.

Ryan looked at the sky late, not to mention that the later volumes of this "Heroic Epic" mainly describe some things after the war, which are not as attractive as the previous ones, he pulled Alendo's clothes and motioned for Alendor to leave with him.

There were far fewer people around the platform to watch the show than at noon, and Alendor followed Ryan out.

Walking out of the central square, Ryan and Alendor both felt hungry, so they found a random place to fill their stomachs.

After eating, the two of them went round about again, and went out of the city and back to the camp.

The next day, Ryan got up early, and although the Victory Day celebrations always lasted for three days, Ryan didn't plan to go any further. He calculated the time, it had been almost a month since he came out of his hometown, less than three months before the Royal Athletic Tournament, and it would take about 10 days to walk from Elfa City to the imperial capital of Fernando City, so that after calculating it, there was only a little more than 2 months left to prepare for the trial of his coming-of-age ceremony. In just 60 days to find other teammates and set aside a short period of time to run in, Ryan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Ryan crouched on the ground, holding a branch and scratching unconsciously in the dirt, he was torn by the matter. After thinking about it, Ryan didn't come up with any good way, he decided to use the stupidest and most effective way at the moment, that is, to wait at the mercenary guild every day, there will always be a mercenary group recruiting people or someone who wants to work together to complete the task, right?

Ryan talks to Alendor about his plans, and Elendor doesn't have a better way, and he agrees with Ryan.

Ryan waited in the hall of the mercenary guild for two days in a row, but did not find a suitable companion, Elfa City is so big, and there are many mercenaries in and out of the mercenary guild every day, but unfortunately most of the tasks are relatively simple, and they can be completed without too many mercenaries, so naturally no one will invite others to work together. Occasionally, there is a more troublesome task that needs to gather multiple people to complete, and it is the type of hunting high-level demonic beasts deep into the Hengduan Mountain Range. Ryan calculated, no matter how soon it is, it will take three months to come out, and then the competitive competition will not be able to catch up at all.

"Ahh In the past few days in the mercenary guild hall, Ryan felt too bored, watching other mercenaries come in and out, Ryan was a little nostalgic for the days in his hometown, remembered the barbecue made by his mother, remembered the interesting stories of his childhood, and remembered Mr. Galib.

Thinking of Teacher Galib, Ryan immediately remembered the scene when he followed him desperately to learn martial arts, it was really bitter at that time, every morning, he had to carry a large wooden stake of one person high to run around the town of dense fog for a full twenty laps, and then he could rest for a while, by the way, breakfast by the way, strength training in the morning, and go climbing mountains in the afternoon, those cliffs near Dense Fog Town, Ryan has been to, those steep cliffs, once scared Ryan when he was a child almost gave up, how did he persist at that time?

Thinking of this, Ryan secretly realized in his heart, how did he do it? If he liked the life in his hometown so much, why did he have to work so hard to learn martial arts from Teacher Galib in the first place? Why did he take risks now? Isn't it just a little setback in front of him?

Ryan quickly perked up, he took a deep breath, and said to himself in his heart: "Ryan, you have to be strong, no matter how big the difficulty is, it will pass." Isn't it just that I can't find a companion? It's a big deal that I've been working hard to complete mercenary missions for two months to get some money, and then I've posted a quest to recruit companions in the Mercenary Guild myself, and I'm sure there are many adventurers like me who also want to participate in the Atlético Royale and are struggling to find a companion. ”

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ryan's face, and he felt that the stone pressing on his heart had been pushed away, and his heart was indescribably relaxed. Ryan changed his relaxed posture, shouted a large glass of juice, and made up his mind in his heart, wait another day, if there is no suitable one, give up, and complete his own coming-of-age trial according to his idea just now, when the time comes, this task can be released in the mercenary guild of the imperial capital, I believe that on the eve of the competitive competition, I will definitely recruit companions.

Ryan drank the juice slowly, estimating the approximate cost of recruiting a companion and calculating how much gold he would have to prepare.

A group of young mercenaries walked in, led by a young girl of about 20 years old, her face was very delicate, with large blue eyes, a delicate nose, and a ruddy mouth, and her jet-black hair was combed into neat braids and put on the back of her head. She wore a red mage robe, a badge symbolizing her status as a mage, a flame and a ripple of water engraved on her chest, and a magic wand with a red core in her hand.

Beside the sorceress was a man dressed in priest's robes, a man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years of age, with a very confident look on his face, a white hat on his head, and a small silver-white hammer in his hand.

Behind them was a woman shrouded in a cloak, her face also covered by a black cloak, and she couldn't see clearly, but judging from her stature, she wasn't too old.

At the end of the walk was a male warrior of about thirty years old, dressed in steel armor, holding a sharp battle axe in his hand and a large shield on his back.

As soon as this mercenary team walked into the hall, it immediately attracted the attention of most of the mercenaries, a mercenary team with mages, priests, and warriors, the strength must be very strong, and the woman who was shrouded in a cloak was most likely a thief. What is such a team of mercenaries with a balanced class mix doing in Elfa City?

The four-person mercenary team walked towards Lucy, and the female magician led by her asked a few words in a low voice, and Lucy's face showed a look of embarrassment, and she shook her head, indicating that she could not do anything.

A burly mercenary next to him had a lewd smile on his face and said to the female magician: "Little sister, what's the use of you finding a magician, how can the magician's body be as strong as mine, why don't I follow you." During the day, we kill monsters together, and we can ...... at night."

Before he finished speaking, a white light flashed, and a sharp flying knife was inserted into the shoulder of the burly mercenary who was babbling nonsense, and the woman in the cloak made a crisp voice: "Get out!"

The burly mercenary bent down in pain, and a companion with a giant axe beside him shouted loudly: "It's just a verbal advantage, why do you hurt someone?"

The male pastor said coldly, "Get out of here, or we'll help you get out." ”

The mercenary with the giant axe laughed loudly: "I've been a mercenary for almost 10 years with a blood axe, I don't know how many fierce monsters I've killed, I'm afraid of you, this little white face?"

The giant axe mercenary shouted, "Die!" and picked up the giant axe in his hand and slashed at the male priest.

The male priest's fellow warrior quickly removed his shield from his back and met the mercenary's great axe.

The loud sound of metal clashing filled the mercenary hall and caught Ryan's attention.

Seeing that someone was fighting, the other mercenaries in the hall immediately dispersed, forming a large circle from a distance to watch the excitement, and Ryan also stood up and surrounded him.

The mercenary armed with a giant axe and the male warrior in steel armor fought together, and the sound of metal colliding kept coming, and people's ears were numb. The sorceress frowned, expressing a hint of disgust at the harsh voice.

The burly mercenary who was making fun of the female magician pulled out the throwing knife stuck in his shoulder, and he said viciously: "I have been a mercenary for almost ten years, and today is the first time I have suffered such a loss!" He shouted loudly: "Blood axe, hit hard, the man will be crippled, and the woman will be taken away." ”

When the sorceress heard this, she lost her patience completely, and she frowned and said, "We are not here to fight. ”

The male pastor immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll get rid of them right away." After saying that, the male priest raised the silver-white hammer and recited the incantation, and a golden light emanated from the male priest's body, and a pure power spontaneously appeared, and this golden light attached to the surface of the body of the warrior in steel armor and the female thief in the cloak, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

"Hey!" the warrior in steel armor let out a happy shout, he took out his battle axe, blocked the mercenary's giant axe, and then aimed the shield in his hand at the mercenary's head and slammed it! The mercenary in hand suddenly had blood splashing on his face, and the warrior in steel armor took advantage of the victory to pursue, and kicked the giant axe mercenary's lower body, and the giant axe mercenary screamed, covering his lower body and falling to the ground. The mercenaries watching from the side couldn't help but gasp together, it seems that the second half of this mercenary's life is over.

The female thief in the cloak raised her hand and a flying knife still came out, and the mercenary who called herself a "demon" was on guard, blocking the flying knife with two short axes in his hand, and was about to make a joke, but he felt a pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness all of a sudden.

The male priest put away the silver-white hammer in his hand, and just now when he took advantage of the attention of the "evil ghost" to be attracted by his companion, he slipped behind the "evil ghost" and struck him on the head with the small hammer in his hand!
