Chapter 6: The Mysterious Client

The next day, Xu Luo and a total of nineteen members of the Carl Mercenary Group met at the agreed place in Duanlongpo outside the city, but at the agreed time, Xu Luo and they did not see the client, generally speaking, the union entrustment is very accurate and compliant, violating the agreement of the commission, I am afraid that the union will be blacklisted.

Xu Luo saw that the sun had passed over his head, and the client had not yet come, and the dozen or so mercenaries behind him seemed very patient, this situation was very common in their entrusted tasks, but Xu Luo knew that there must be something wrong, because when they came, it was only ten minutes earlier than the agreed noon time, so Xu Luo could now take a good look at the surrounding situation.

Broken Long Slope is actually a small hill, standing at the head of the slope, the visual measurement is about ten meters higher than the plain, the slope is mainly soil, and the stones are rare, but because there is a broken stone at the head of the slope, it is called the Broken Long Slope.

The broken stone is not long, about the same length as Xu Luo's upper body, the fracture is very smooth, it is obviously made by a sharp weapon, maybe there has been some vicious battle here, but Xu Luo found something very interesting on the broken stone.

"Green glass powder, staring at dense branches, and wind and water, it's a bit interesting. Xu Luo smeared a layer of powder from the broken stone, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and soon smelled the materials inside, these are the black medicine used by the ancients to hide items, which is a medicine that archaeologists are very easy to find and commonly used in archaeology.

According to the memory in his brain, Xu Luo asked Carl for a bag of water, poured on the broken stone, after a few breaths, a few words appeared on the broken stone: "Black Dragon Mountain Nine Cliff Ridge", and below these words, a small cloth bag also quietly appeared, Xu Luo approached the cloth bag and smelled it, did not smell anything special, according to his humble opinion of the medicine, the so-called colorless and odorless poison cannot exist in this world at all, the poison is so strong, you can smell three points from the smell.

Open the bag, the bright sunlight shines in the bag, reflecting a piece of golden light, Xu Luo poured out the gold coin bag, and counted it slightly, there are about a hundred, if there is no miscalculation, it should be a full hundred gold coins.

"It seems that this commission is still interesting. Xu Luo patted the dust on his knees and stood up from the ground, while several mercenaries behind him rushed over quickly, put the gold coins in their bags and handed them to Carl.

"I think there's something dangerous. Carl bluntly pointed out the problem, it is suspicious enough to hide the head and tail on the mission book, and now he doesn't even show his face, and he plays fishing command, based on Carl's experience as a mercenary in the past ten years, this kind of entrusted mission is definitely the most dangerous.

"Yes, I can report this kind of task to the union in accordance with the regulations of the union, I should be able to cancel this mission, let's change it, anyway, I have already got a hundred gold coins." Although Xu Luo is very short of money, he cares more about safety, because he has been wandering around in Slow City, so he feels that this world is actually quite prosperous and safe, but Carl's experience and experience let Xu Luo know that this world is far more dangerous than imagined, the scuffle between countries, dragons, monsters, goblin bandits, as long as he walks out of the sphere of influence of the human city, it can almost be said that his life is difficult to protect without dozens of mercenaries and guards.

"No, if the client doesn't give us more gold coins at the next location, we will withdraw. Carl's words made Xu Luo stunned, looking back, almost all the mercenaries in the regiment were filled with a strong fighting spirit in their eyes, Xu Luo knew that these people were whetted by this hundred gold coins, for a person like him who has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and does not have much ambition, one person can feed the whole family, he naturally does not care too much about the gains and losses of money, as long as it is enough, even after being reborn, he did not suffer too much because of poverty, but the sleeping environment is a little worse, but according to his current ability, it is easy to change a better place to live, but these mercenaries, almost all of them live on the knife edge, where to make money is not to earn, not to save enough money when he is youngIn the past, there was no opportunity to work hard with such high profits, but now that there is, who can be willing not to try?

Almost instantly, Xu Luo guessed the thoughts of these people, and Carl couldn't help but pat Xu Luo on the shoulder when he saw the hesitation in his eyes.

"If you think it's dangerous, we'll withdraw. Hearing Carl say this, Xu Luo hesitated, but decided to move on, as long as he didn't encounter the dragon, the danger was still controllable, even if he encountered hostile humans, according to the rules, no matter what kind of battle, as an archaeologist with almost no combat ability, he would not be affected, at most the archaeologist would pay a sum of money to the other party afterwards, since Carl They are not afraid of death, then he is also willing to try once.

It takes three hours to walk from the broken long slope to the Jiuya Ridge, although Carl they don't have the delicate things like a pocket watch, but they are running around all the year round, and they can get a relatively reliable time by observing the sun, and because the terrain of the Jiuya Ridge is more treacherous, from the broken long slope in the past is mostly a mountain road, for Xu Luo, a thin person like Xu Luo is really going to die, Carl can only look at Xu Luo, whose feet are weak, so that he can hurry faster, this is probably the first time Xu Luo has been carried by someone after he has become an adult, and he feels really a little painful, but his legs have not obeyed the call, so he can only be very much"Humiliated" climbed onto Karl's back.

After more than three hours of trekking, the sun had already crossed one-third of the sky, Xu Luo and they finally arrived at the Nine Cliffs Ridge, and when they arrived at the high ground on the ridge, Xu Luo observed the surrounding terrain and couldn't help but gasp.

The reason why Jiuyaling is called Jiuyaling is because there are nine towering cliffs around it, and Jiuyaling is separated by a line of cliffs, close at hand but far away in the sky, each of the nine cliffs is much higher than Jiuyaling, looking from the cliff edge of Jiuyaling, the surrounding cliffs are like the minions of a dragon and are daunting.

Xu Luo sat on the ground and looked around and didn't find any particularly conspicuous objects, and at this time, a human head suddenly appeared on the originally steep cliff, Xu Luo was startled, but then, a complete human came out of the cliff, Xu Luo and all the mercenaries looked at the human being who was loaded in the air vigilantly, although the levitation technique is not a high-level spell, but it is also a second-level magic, only a real magician can be used lightly, although now the magician does not have the legendary status of hundreds of years ago, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that they are estimated to be antsใ€‚

"Hello, I am the client of your mission, and I had to hide my identity for some reason. The magician slowly stopped on the ground, lifted the cloak and hat, revealing a face that had been through the vicissitudes of life, looking at this face, Xu Luo estimated that this magician should be about fifty years old, looking very ordinary, just ......

Xu Luo always felt that this person was familiar, but neither magic nor potions could change the face of the whole person, so maybe it was just that the temperament of the magician was similar to that of their archaeologists, Xu Luo comforted himself.
