Chapter 555: Bireg City
"Legion Scouts?Dark Elves?" Ryan and the others were a little surprised when they heard the news, everyone was used to thinking that Najim and they had encountered a large number of kobold armies like themselves, but they never thought that the other party had encountered the scouts in the Dark Elf Legion, but although this was unexpected by Ryan, it was also reasonable, after all, the one who was really qualified to lead the army could only be the dark elves' domain powerhouse Boyardinath, in this case, it was too normal to mobilize some vassals to participate in the war.
"Since you are a scout of the regular Dark Elf Legion, what is the strength comparison between the two of you, and what is the final result?" Ryan thought about it, and still felt that it was better to understand the combat effectiveness of the Dark Elf Legion first, so he asked this question again.
"There are four legendary powerhouses on our side, and the others are all between ordinary advanced and ordinary advanced, and the other party is all ordinary advanced thieves. Najim replied, "They ambushed us, and the first wave of arrows took a dozen of our companions, and although we fought back, their armor was so good that it was all Mithril chain mail, and no one else could do any damage to them except for a few of us legendary powerhouses." ”
"I hate to admit it, but I think even if they don't use the sneak attack, 100 men against 30 of us, we will still lose, but they will pay the price of dozens more casualties. Najim's eyes showed a mixture of envy and resentment, and he said hatefully: "These guys are really well equipped, and their weapons are all scimitars made of Mithril, and they are all Mithril chainmail with magic attached to them, if their entire legion is equipped like this, I'm afraid we will ...... in Birig City."
Ryan recalled a little about the scene when he fought with the Djinn Chamber of Commerce yesterday, there are so many legendary powerhouses on the other side, but the one who really has the Mithril armor with excellent defense seems to be the only one who is the captain of the guard, Solaufen, and the other mercenaries will get a better weapon at most, as for what they basically wear, they are afraid that they will lose the opponent first.
"Are you reluctant to spend money, or why can't you buy it?" Ryan asked Solaufen after a moment's thought.
Solaufen smiled bitterly and replied, "We are mercenaries, how can we buy the armor of the army......? I sent it. Ryan saw that after Solaufen mentioned Kailanor's name, his tone was a little strange, and after thinking for a while, he immediately guessed that this woman must also have a very close relationship with that rakshasa demon, otherwise how could he give her such good armor? But this is a private matter of the other party, and Ryan doesn't bother to ask.
Solaufen paused, and seeing that Ryan didn't show any indication, he continued: "Basically, the price of a set of Mithril full-body armor is quite high, so various chambers of commerce prefer to use it for smuggling, as for a single mercenary, if the strength is not very strong or there is no backing, wearing this kind of armor is basically equivalent to preparing it for others, stabbing him to death in the back, and leaving the body in a secluded corner and burying it, who can find it?"
Ryan nodded, he asked a few more questions, and saw that Najim really couldn't know much about the big picture, so he glanced at Astalot and Galib, and the two companions who knew the language of the dark elves each carried a stunned dark elf, took them aside to wake them up and began to interrogate, Faras changed the magic barrier slightly, so that everyone did not interfere with each other, saving Najim and his companions from colluding.
After a few minutes, Galib and the others turned around and gestured to Ryan a few times, indicating that they couldn't ask anything, and after verifying with each other, there was nothing flawed in what Najim said, and it should be true. Seeing that Ryan began to groan, Najim lying on the ground was in a hurry, he knew that after the other party finished asking, most of them would not be left alive, so he said hurriedly: "I am a legendary powerhouse, I can speak four languages, I have been a slave before, I can do anything, as long as you don't kill me, I am willing to be your slave!"
Ryan was also a little hesitant, he was not a murderer, otherwise he didn't need to groan at all, he could just kill people and leave, and now listening to Najim lying on the ground say this, it also aroused Ryan's curiosity, and he asked: "Have you ever been a slave?"
"Yes. Seeing Ryan ask like this, Najim knew that his life might be in the next few words, and if he could impress Ryan, then he might still live, otherwise what awaited him and his companions would probably be to abandon the corpse after the mouth was destroyed.
Najim replied cautiously, "My family had lost in the battle, and a large number of my people had been killed, and I was very young and handsome, so I was sold as a slave. I've been to many planes and done all sorts of things, so I've learned several languages as a result. You don't have to worry about the contract between me and the Fortune Chamber of Commerce, we are paid according to the task, and there will be no trouble leaving automatically, this kind of thing is also common in Bireger, there will be no problems. ”
"It turns out that you also became a slave after the defeat of your family. Ryan nodded thoughtfully, he remembered that he bought Herisna for tens of millions of gold coins, according to her, the various families within the dark elves are full of contradictions, fights, conspiracies, and betrayals are simply commonplace, and in the other world, families are destroyed almost every day, and more new families are rising.
When Najim heard Ryan say this, he misunderstood what Ryan meant, so Najim hurriedly said: "Yes, I, like Solaufen, are both victims of the failure of the family battle, in fact, the vast majority of the dark elves like us outside the other world, who has not had such a tragic experience? Only those dark elf families who are qualified to build castles are ordered to open up territories in other planes." ”
Ryan looked at Najim, then at Solaufin, and saw a resolute expression on the latter's face, obviously Najim's words also caused her painful memories, Ryan rubbed his nose, and was about to speak, but he heard a twisted and broken neck bone in his ears, which came from the direction guarded by the Queen of Blades at the end of the alley, so Ryan gestured towards Galib, the latter's strength was naturally not affected by Faraz's magic enchantment, he also heard the sound, so he walked over in understanding.
A few seconds later, Galib's figure reappeared in front of Ryan, and he spoke, "It's a drunken mercenary, and with him is a wandering warbler, who has already died." ”
Ryan knew that the Queen of Blades was more murderous, so he didn't say much, and now that someone was coming, Ryan didn't want to cause trouble, so he immediately said to Najim: "Okay, I'll spare your life, you and your companions will come with us first." ”
Najim was overjoyed, he thought that it would be good if he could escape with his life, but he didn't expect Ryan to let go of his companions who were not legendary powerhouses, which made Najim feel slightly uplifted, and at this time, the coercion on Najim suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared, Najim didn't need Ryan's instructions, he got up quickly, gathered several of his companions together, and stayed aside honestly.
Ryan chanted a magic spell in a deep voice, and the mana effect immediately enveloped the entire alley and the surrounding buildings, and after making sure that no one else passed by, and no one paid special attention to the place, Ryan relented, and he beckoned, letting Solauphon lead the group on. Najim and the others, who were new to the team, behaved very honestly, especially Najim, he knew very well what a terrible power it was for a person to firmly control his life and death by coercion alone, so he dared not disobey Ryan more than anyone else, but seeing that Ryan was ignoring him now, Najim restrained a few companions and walked in the middle of the entire team.
After more than half an hour, Solaufen led Ryan and his party into a solid building, where a huge sign hung at the door, on which was a sharp-beaked pickaxe, and a very simple but lifelike image of the kobold's head, which was obviously the kobold minecart that Solaufen had mentioned earlier as a means of transportation.
After entering the door, Ryan found that the hall here was much larger than he imagined, on the left and right sides of the hall, there were several huge shelves, on which were placed all kinds of strange things, Ryan carefully identified, and only recognized the two things of cable and winch, as for the others, I don't know what to do, and in the direction of Ryan's entrance, there are six entrances on a flat wall, which should lead to different directions.
Seeing that a guest came to the door, an ogre attendant walked over in a few steps and said in a rakshasa demon language: "Ten gold coins for one person, fill it and leave." ”
It wasn't the first time Solaufen had been here, she waved her hand, motioned for the ogre to get out of the way, and then said, "Let's charter a cable car, the sooner the better!"
"Ah, it's the big patron!" Hearing Solaufen's voice, a high-pitched male voice came from behind a certain shelf of communication, Ryan glanced at it but didn't see the person speaking, but when he lowered his vision, he still saw the man who spoke, it turned out that he was a goblin. Goblins and underground gnomes are about the same height, but their status in the other world is completely different, although the goblin warriors have low individual combat effectiveness, but they are very particular about cooperation with each other, and the team combat ability is extremely strong, and there are many enchantment masters and alchemy masters among the goblins, and their existence has undoubtedly enhanced the status of the goblin race in the eyes of other races.
The male goblin who spoke was full of wrinkles, looked very ugly, and his voice was sharp and harsh, but almost all the goblins looked like this, not that this male goblin was specifically aimed at Solauphon and others, on the contrary, he was still familiar with Solaufen, and after coming out of the back of the shelf where various parts were placed, the male goblin quickly recognized Solaufen, so he spoke: "Solaufen, it turns out that you are back." ”
