"I'm going to join the mercenaries. "Of course www.biquge.info, Payne didn't know what Roy was thinking, so he thought it would be better to make it clear. But if the other party still insists, he doesn't mind very much... With a guy of great strength by his side, it doesn't seem to be that much of a difficult thing.

"I'm not going to hold you back. It was not difficult to see from Roy's gaze that he was iron-hearted.

Payne smiled bitterly, what else could he say. In his previous life, as a fat man, he never discriminated against fat people, and in addition, he also wanted to find a few partners who could hand over his back to each other, and the wild team was not a long-term solution.

Payne thinks that it doesn't matter if it's almost strength, long-term run-in will make up for this shortcoming, and tacit understanding is the core element of a team. -- This is the experience of a veteran player.

"Well, tomorrow morning we will meet at the gates, and you will have a time to think about it for the evening, remember...... I won't wait long for you. ”

......

At sunset, Payne found Cambu and informed him that he was leaving.

"Master Miller said before he left that you can choose not to stay in the hotel for three months, but the fee will not be refunded, but you can come back at any time, and the hotel fee is calculated on a daily basis. ”

Payne smiled and didn't talk about it again, but asked Kambu about the mercenary's camp, who was in the Bounty Guild and knew all about it.

"Can you read the map?" said Cambu.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Payne walked out of the hotel, looked back at the window of the room where he had stayed before, and prayed silently in his heart, "I hope that the next time I stay in, I am already a bounty hunter." ”

Cambu told him a lot about mercenaries last night, and that's what Payne lacks the most. In fact, Miller had already expected that he would choose to take this step, so he had already instructed Cambu...... , at least when others are ready to use him as cannon fodder, he has to know how to reject the other party.

"Thank you, Miller. ”

When he came to the city gate, a fat figure appeared in Payne's sight, it was Roy. It seems that the other side has already made a decision.

"Let's go, man. "Not a word of nonsense. Payne handed Roy a bag of food, who smiled and nodded, and could tell he was willing to do the job.

The mercenary camp is actually not far from Meg's Town, in the [Sheltered Valley] of [Thorn Mountain] behind the town. If you ride a horse, it's only an hour's journey, and the walk won't take more than three hours.

Come to think of it, life would be inconvenient if it was too far away from the town, and food would be a problem in the first place. Usually, the head of the mercenary camp is in constant contact with the Bounty Guild, and even has a liaison in the tavern to pass on the news by flying pigeons, and these mercenaries will arrive quickly.

However, the road to the Sheltered Valley was not easy, and it was easy to get lost in the thorny mountains and forests without an acquaintance to guide you, and wild animals were often found in the area, especially in winter.

Rounding the town's moat, Payne took the map out of his bosom to find his bearings, then beckoned to Roy, "Follow me." ”

Roy pressed the bag over his shoulder and quickly followed.

"It all looks pretty much the same here, how do you know you should go this way? In fact, there was no road in front of them, and even if there was, it was covered in leaves and weeds, and Roy followed Payne into the dense forest, and soon felt dizzy.

"Just call me Payne, 'you' sounds a little awkward. Payne glanced back at Roy, and then pointed to the sky according to the direction of the sun, so that he could go in a different direction, and then refer to the map, it would be basically difficult to get lost. ”

"That's right, but I still don't quite understand. Roy gasped.

"You don't need to understand, just follow me. "It's better to walk two more miles than to explain.

When I first entered the mountain forest, I was basically climbing the mountain, and after about half an hour, the ground in front of me became flat, which showed that Payne did not take the wrong path, and the rest of the journey was basically flat. Of course, how can there be flat land in the mountains and forests, but there is no need to climb the mountains anymore.

Roy was already a little out of breath at the moment, the sweat on his face was like rain, his weight was the biggest obstacle to his climb, but he didn't ask to stop and rest once on the way.

"Let's rest for a while, let's eat something, drink some water before we go. Payne took the bag from Roy's shoulder, then took out two loaves of bread, two more pickled bacon and two water bags, and handed one of them to Roy, "Don't eat too much, and don't drink too much water, or you'll feel like you're climbing a mountain even if you walk flat." ”

Roy gratefully took the water bag and food, "Thank you, Payne. ”

"Also, don't say 'thank you' all the time, I want us to be friends, not employers. And you don't always need to say thank you to friends, you know. ”

Roy nodded, and the two began to eat and drink.

After three or five minutes, Payne patted the other man on the shoulder, "It's time to hit the road, there may be some trouble along the way, so we can't stop for too long." ”

Once Roy had packed his things, he stood up and put the bag back on his shoulder, "I'm ready." ”

"Let's go. ”

The map that Cambu gave him was a standard bounty hunter's map, so it wouldn't be particularly noticeable. But that wasn't a problem for Payne, who was able to find his way through the sunlight in the woods, even if the trees were too tall.

This is the basic skill of being a bounty hunter, but unfortunately Payne's predecessor did not grasp the main point of the knight's mouth, otherwise he would not have gotten lost even without a map.

......

The scenery in the mountains and forests is beautiful, the plants and trees emit a refreshing fragrance, and the sunlight shines through the ancient forests, exuding the magic of nature everywhere. Payne never dreamed that he would one day be in a scene that can only be seen in movies.

Payne's mind was completely immersed in the scenery before him, and even with a forty-pound sword on his back, he didn't feel tired. The thought of a new life soon made him even more excited, and the smile on his face has not disappeared since he stepped into this forest.

But Roy looked much more miserable, the bag on his shoulder only contained a dozen one-pound loaves of bread, a dozen bars of salt, and four water bags, adding up to a total of twenty pounds, but every step he took seemed a little difficult, how could he still be in the mood to enjoy these beautiful scenery at his fingertips.

"Huh?" Payne noticed something, and rushed to the front in two steps, then pulled the leaves from the ground, revealing a bucket-thick root, "It seems that we are not going the wrong way." ”
