Chapter XI

Lake's words made the lively mercenary branch instantly quiet, and everyone looked at him with strange faces, and the scene was speechless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"It's too much of a fuss, isn't it too expensive?" After a moment of silence, when Lake, who felt strange, complained, the arrogant mercenaries began to laugh for a moment before the well-wisher explained: "You are either a wanted criminal or someone from another country." ”

A simple sentence to explain the current situation, the national characteristics of the Steel Federation will not care about the mercenary's past, whether it is a wanted criminal or a non-national person, as long as you pay the deposit and fill in your name at will, you can join, on the other hand, there is no official status and you want to obtain the information provided by the trade union, the cost is also a multiplier, and it is clear that what you earn is your money, and you will come back to your country to get the documents and come back.

Feeling very helpless, Lake touched his pocket, turned around and took out a double-edged sword made of stainless steel from the back of the greedy rabbit without saying a word, held it high, and shouted: "The union is too dark, there is no money to take on the task, and the stainless steel sword is asked to be turned around by a friend." ”

"This guy is so funny, I thought he was going to buy it from someone else. ”

"Sell weapons for cash! ”

"Is it worth the price? I'll see first. ”

A curious mercenary picked up the weapon in Lake's hand, and after a little testing, he dropped the 20,000 gold coin card without saying a word, and left the union directly after saying hello to his friends, as for Lake, he immediately turned around and swiped the most expensive map crystal when he got the gold coin card, and slipped away directly before the others reacted, damn, just buy it and make me mysterious, this city can't stay, you have to leave quickly.

What Lake didn't know was that this steel weapon, which seemed to him to be barely okay, was already a sub-artifact in the eyes of those who didn't know his details, and the person who bought the weapon would of course be afraid of people and leave quickly, so he didn't even dare to leave the Sky City quickly in order to reduce trouble.

It's a boring thing to go on the road alone, although the greedy rabbit has a high IQ but can't speak, just when he was so bored that he didn't know what to do, a huge caravan appeared in front of him, and when he was thinking about how to catch this caravan, the mercenary who bought the weapon rode towards him on horseback: "Meet again, I forgot to introduce last time, my name is Pres, swordsman." ”

"Ryker, a novice technologist who came out to practice. ”

The two sides simply introduced themselves to let Lake know that Pris was the leader of a small mercenary group, and he originally wanted to stay in Sky City for a few more days, and immediately after buying the weapon, he gathered the team members to join a caravan at will and left, after all, it was a weapon close to the artifact, and it was easy to have an accident if he didn't leave quickly, and he who regretted selling the weapon could only shake his head and explain that he was because Pris's reaction just now was too much, and he was afraid that he would be remembered and flee before he even had time to take the task.

"Then join us for the time being. Priss apologetically invited Ryker to see the light of day, and together they returned to the caravan to register and then get into the carriage of the Steeltooth Mercenary Regiment.

A beautiful woman with lightning in her hand that made her simulate various animals spoke: "Nami, deputy leader, magician. ”

The man who was brushing the cat's hair then spoke: "Ferrari, summoner." ”

The last handsome boy with a lot of water droplets floating around him said, "Doug, swordsman, what about you?"

Lake smiled and took out his twin guns, turned around handsomely twice, and then spoke: "Technologist, novices come to mix experience, please bear with me." ”

After a simple conversation, everyone greeted each other and went to work on their own things, and Lake, who had nothing to do for a while, had to take out the map crystal he had just bought and looked at the map of this world, but the things that others felt normal made Lake's eyes almost fall out. Because the projected map is three-dimensional, no matter how busy the earthlings are, no matter how little knowledge they have, they know that the earth is round, but the projection in front of them is actually ...... Square!

Yes, everyone knows that the planet is elliptical in order to rotate smoothly, to stabilize gravity, and to stabilize the atmospheric pressure in the planet, but the planet turned out to be square, and the shape of the square made him surprised, and he looked at the square edge carefully...... Even more speechless, he didn't know whether to believe in the science of the earth or not.

The edge of the land made a direct right-angle turn, and the edge of the sea turned out to be like a waterfall, and the water flow from one side sprayed into the air on the other side and then fell to the other side, spraying back and forth in both directions, almost negating the known physical phenomena, and at the same time, he thought that he must go to the edge to see.

After turning the map a few times, the upper and lower sides of the 6-sided cube are ice fields, yes, there are no mountains and no lakes, the whole side is an ice field, as for the other four sides, the side with red dots is the side where he is located, there are mountains, seas and lakes, and the major cities are clearly marked, as for the empire where the parents are located, it is on the other side, and the whole side is marked with the word "empire", and there is no name or title just write the empire two.

It turned out that the country he was born in was called "Empire", which stupid emperor got his name...... Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned, that's right, he has been in the imperial capital for almost a month, and the legendary emperor has been dangling around his mother all the time, so it stands to reason why his mother and father are both His Majesty and His Majesty screamed, is it ...... Thinking of this, a ridiculous thought formed in my heart, and the name of the emperor was called Your Majesty......

Shaking his head and not thinking about these things anymore, he looked at the other two sides, one ordinary and unremarkable side full of forests, and the other ...... After watching science fiction movies, he can still accept it, it is just an island floating in the sky everywhere, with flowing water, clouds and many flying monsters, but there is no land. Wait, saying that there is no land is no land, and there is neither water nor mud underneath, but a black hollow, which makes him look up in curiosity.

"Miss Nami, may I ask why the land is empty on this side? Just in time to see Nami looking up at him, Lake quickly asked.

Unexpectedly, Nami glanced at the map casually, and said lightly: "Don't think about those messy things, where is a hollow, none of the people who have explored in the past have returned." ”

Of course, the other members of the group just glanced up at this question and continued to train themselves, unable to ask anything, and Lake didn't care to mark the point he wanted to go on the map, and the carriage was quiet again, and when he put away the map and was about to enter a meditative state, there was a noise outside.

Nami was about to go out to check when Pres rushed in, "Hurry up and get your weapons ready, this time I've hit a hard idea." ”

Large caravans are not easy to encounter robbers, and once they encounter it, it is the kind of situation that cannot be managed, both sides are such large teams, so many people are dispatched, how to easily admit defeat at so much expense, Priss will make everyone ready for a hard battle.

Facing a large battle for the first time, it is impossible to say that Lake will not be nervous, and the few people who saw his situation did not say anything, but only patted him on the shoulder before stepping out of the carriage to comfort him, letting him know that some things need to be adjusted by himself, and the help of others will harm him, and sooner or later he will have to face it, Lake took a deep breath and walked out of the carriage to see a black cloud in the distant sky, the convoy guards began to form a team, those with flying machines were ready to fly, and those who could not fly helped to arrange defenses, and when Priss put on their flight equipment, the caravan commander began to assign tasks。

"Ryker, don't be afraid, take your weapon to the carriage, and don't be polite when you see a lone enemy. ”

"Preece, you take the flying crew over the camp to protect the people on the ground. ”

Since the Pries are small teams, large teams that join the caravan on a temporary basis are prone to confusion, and the commander positions their task to protect the camp, and the other squads that also join temporarily are also responsible for protecting the camp, leaving the large units of the enemy to the caravan.

In just a few minutes, the noisy team quieted down, and the personnel who completed the deployment watched the troops take off to negotiate with each other, and did not agree with each other, the two sides raised their weapons and rushed over, and in an instant two black clouds collided with each other, lightning, flames, freezing, meteorites exploded, and the rumbling sound came after the light of various weapons flickered, and the air flashed with fireworks composed by countless lives, and black dots fell down like rain, a black dot represented a life, there were personnel, there were mounts, and each threw his life for his own purposes.

Lake, who was too far away to see the black dots, was sighing for the loss of life in his heart when he suddenly handed a piece of candy with one hand: "Eat, it's still far away, and it's not disgusting to have sugar in your mouth when you get closer." ”

After all, Lake is a person who has lived a lifetime, although he has not seen blood in his previous life, he also knows that the first time is the most shocking, and he can't hinder others because he hasn't killed anyone, so he unceremoniously put the candy in his mouth: "Lake, for the first time, please take care of it later." ”

The strong man who bit the lollipop at the corner of his mouth smiled and said: "Shalin, wait a minute, you don't have time to experience it at all, focus on your mouth." ”

Looking at the increasingly dense energy light in the distance, Lake nodded and understood that it was impossible for such a large sky to be completely blocked, and as the battle situation entered the white heat, there would definitely be enemies who crossed the blockade, and then it was the moment when they played their role, even if they surrendered, they would not die, but there was no way to keep everything they had.

"Here, attention! Free fire. With a loud roar, dozens of black dots flew from a low altitude, and technological weapons took the lead in attacking, and chains of light appeared in the sky above the camp, and bright spots that emitted light illuminated the sky, and the flexible figures reacted with the points of light, flying around the light chain like flowers and butterflies.

"Boom~Boom~" Suddenly, a lightless sphere shot out from Lake's side, shooting into the sky with a flute sound, exploding, and the scattered shock wave shook the surrounding black spots, and then the ground personnel rushed to the falling black spots to make up for the knife, and those who fainted grabbed directly, and those who were awake were stunned, and those who could still fight were not so lucky, and they were directly sent back to the arms of God with sandbags for practice.

"Ryker, don't be in a daze, hurry up and attack, cover me for reloading. Shalin reminded him in time to wake him up, and hurriedly raised his gun and aimed it at a few enemies in the distance who were rushing towards him: "Bang, bang, bang!"
