Chapter 7 Mercenaries and Titles
Luo Xue couldn't believe that the usually lonely and arrogant Claw Bear would hook up with another flying demonic beast. But the facts were in front of him, and looking back on the scene, he suddenly knew all this.
The lower body of the corpse disappeared, and the unknown bird that had been hiding in the crack of the tree before, their shivering sound was not because of the cold, but because of the fear of natural predators!
But all this has nothing to do with me. He calmed his heaving chest and clutched the 10 platinum coins he had obtained. If such a big thing happens, Tianhe City will not sit idly by in the future.
handed over the kettle full of river water to Lin Zhuang and returned to the medicine shop, where the sun had already set. He crossed the messy hall and saw that the three wounded people who had been wrapped into zongzi before were all awake at the moment, talking to each other and relieving their body pain.
Although the wounded man who came first was tightly wrapped, he still highlighted his strong physique through the bandages, and the only exposed head and a pair of eyes invisibly revealed a fierce aura.
There was a man beside him, who seemed to be the man who had helped him to come to the pharmacy two days ago.
The man was clad in leather armor made of some unknown animal skin, with a long metal serrated hem hanging from the leather armor, slim black trousers, and a large two-handed sword, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
The two of them looked like experienced mercenaries.
The mercenary who came first said to the other two patrol soldiers with a grief in his eyes.
"My mercenary group and I have traveled all the way east from the Cangyue Empire, and we have seen the forbidden spells of the secret France, witnessed the life-and-death confrontation between two legends in the Demon Forest, learned about the customs and customs of various places, and taken on missions in various places, and none of them have failed. He has entered the Demon Forest to explore, fought to the death against the demonic beasts that have awakened the second ability, explored ancient miracles and escaped death. I think I've seen a lot. I didn't expect to be careless for a while, but I planted a heel here. ”
The man leaning against the wall moved his ears, took over the conversation, and a few words popped out coldly at the corner of his mouth: "You still have the face to say that the face of our mercenary group has been lost by you, and you don't have any precautions to solve it in the wild, and you deserve to be beaten like this!"
"Captain, don't expose me again, who knew that a little bear would pop out so close to the town, that guy roared and punched me to the ground, and I didn't even take out my weapon in a daze, if you hadn't even rushed to scare it away...... Stop it. ”
"Haha......! Ahem!" One of the patrolmen who listened burst into laughter, but the wound on his chest that he had accidentally pulled suddenly began to cough in pain.
"That strength, I couldn't carry the shield down, but fortunately I came sideways to avoid the fatal wound. My companion was knocked down by my flying body and sent here, don't brag. One of the remaining said. "I was attacking with my bare hands, and if I hadn't reacted to the first blow, I wouldn......'t have broken my hand," he said with a shrunken neck, as if trying to emphasize something.
"Alright, well, we believe you!" the two patrolmen looked at each other, smiling, but their tone remained unchanged.
"Don't talk during the treatment! I don't care who you are, as long as you enter this pharmacy, you have to listen to me and treat well," Van Ke said solemnly as he walked out of the back room, dressed in a neatly curly sweater.
The three men shut their mouths.
"Grandpa Vanck!" Luo Xue proudly opened her hand and handed 10 platinum coins to Vanck.
"What is this?"
"I provided information about the missing son of the Tianhe City Lord, which was rewarded to me by Captain Jer......" he said as he leaned over and whispered into Vank's ear. After briefly informing him of some information, including the Firefall Skyrush skill on the corpse, Van Ke understood what was happening.
"You, you!" Fan Ke was so angry that his beard was curled, and he looked at Luo Xue, who didn't know why, and pulled him into the back room and closed the door.
"It's such a powerful breath, if it weren't for the serious injury to his leg and the tendency to decay, I'm afraid this battle spirit would be comparable to what you have," Seeing the two of them enter the back room, the strong man tilted his head and said to the man leaning against the wall.
The ......man bowed his head as if in a daze, opened his deep eyes, and did not speak.
Luo Xue was entered into the back room by Fanke, and when she saw Fank walking around the house, she was so anxious that she only stomped her feet, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you, don't get involved in this kind of thing. If you are sold, you don't know!" Van Ke angrily raised his hand and put it down.
"No...... It can't be that serious, right?" replied Luo Xue hesitantly.
"It's too late for you to regret it, do you know how this leg injury of mine came about? I was framed when I was in the army in Overwatch City!"
"Our town of Van Shui is a legendary town, and the people who live here have the right to take 'Fan' as a separate surname. Therefore, Fanshui Town does not belong to Tianhe City, but because the geographical location of the town is very important, the nearby city applies for the allocation of national soldiers to garrison it. This city is Tianhe City!"
"The city lord of Tianhe City is extremely protective, and his tyrannical nature is known all around. Van Ke walked up and down the room, unable to calm down.
"If you're right, Captain Jell would have been here anyway because of his incompetence, but if he had escaped, he would have already started to escape. And the combat technique you said came from the Divine Death Forest, as a fire-type battle qi warrior with a title, it is impossible for him not to be tempted!"
Speaking of this, Van Ke paused, as if to say the key point: "If the city lord finds out that his son is dead, he will naturally avenge him." But a combat skill, he will never allow others to learn it secretly. ”
"Once you find your son's corpse and find that your combat skills are missing, and then Jeer pokes out the news that you have seen the corpse before leaving, and as soon as he invites a mage who can search for mental searches, he will brainwash and investigate you, even if you don't study, you will definitely not come back alive after reading this combat skill!"
"That'...... What should I do then?" Luo Xue finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and her throat tightened a little.
"Now I can only pin my trust on Jer's conscience, after so many years of getting along, I can only trust him as a person. Van Ke said helplessly, "Once Jer really does this kind of thing, don't worry about us, you can go as far as possible." ”
He ...... Are you leaving?" the two were concentrating on their conversation, and they didn't notice that in the corner of the corridor, Fan Xi'er, who was quietly listening to all this, was standing on the side, she had just returned from her church practice. Although she seemed to be dissatisfied with Luo Xue, she didn't believe that Luo Xue would leave the Forest Medicine Workshop.
"Not necessarily. Luo Xue patted Fan Xi'er's head and comforted. Fan Xi'er, who would have avoided it, did not dodge this time, and silently felt Luo Xue's touch.
"I think Captain Jerle is a bit of a rush, but I'm sure he won't do that. Luo Xue turned her head and thought for a moment, and said to Grandpa Vanke.
"Alas, maybe I'm overthinking" Looking at the appearance of the two, Vank's gaze became kind, and his right hand, which was originally tightly pinched in his beard, slowly released.
Looking at Fan Xi'er, who seemed to have a little bit of enjoyment under her subordinates, and unexpectedly did not have fried hair, Luo Xue did not forget to thank her this time: "Your talisman is very beautiful, thank you." ”
"It's good to know, I've blessed it well!" Fan Xi'er replied with a sense of confidence.
"Wait, who'...... Who allowed you to touch my head!" Fan Xi'er only reacted now, shaking her head and shaking off the hand that was on her head. "Then again, what do you mean by title?" Seeing Fan Xi'er do this, Luo Xue smiled helplessly, and then asked Fan Ke.
educated Luo Xue, and Fan Ke also calmed down. He pinched his beard and told the two about the origin of the title: "Obtaining the title is the yearning of every warrior, take the son of the city lord of Tianhe City, Huofeng, for example, although he is a noble child, he is unexpectedly a talented genius among the younger generations of the same age, and after the coming-of-age ceremony, he will go to Watch City to obtain the title."
Overwatch City is the second military city in the forest country, there are one of the best military academies in Overwatch City and several of the top magic academies in the country, those who have undergone the assessment, the assessment scene will be recorded through the enchanted crystal ball, and after being recognized by various countries, it will be recognized by the state, and there will be a special world-class organization with the annual big advertisement, posted on the bulletin board in every place in the country, this title is usually named after a certain item on the user's body, representing a certain characteristic of the owner, such as 'Broken Shadow Sword' Jer.
There is also a world-class title, which is won by virtue of extraordinary merits, and this kind of title is directly described by people, such as the title of the city lord of Tianhe City, Yan Feng, 'Red Lotus of Karmic Fire', which belongs to this kind of title. ”
"The title actually doesn't have much meaning, and there are not a few people who don't have a title but have outstanding strength, so this title is just a reflection of the fame of that group of people. ”
Van Ke paused, then added, "Overwatch City is ostensibly to prevent the rebellion of the beasts of the Demon Whispering Forest, but it is actually to prevent the attack of the secret French to the west. Secret France is a magical power. The strongest magicians of all ages are from secret France. Although there is a non-belligerent treaty, the disagreement between the two has existed since ancient times. The Cangyue Kingdom is a great country of war spirit. The country of the forest is both demonic and martial, and in terms of terrain, it is sandwiched between the two along with the Demon Whispering Forest. The three fought back and forth, and the territory was more or less, but there was no major change. And in the secret France, the country of the forest, and the country of the moon before the whole continent there was only one country, the name is the Principality of the Falling Moon, because it is too old, there are no records left, and the only thing that can be recorded is the starry sky library of the country of the moon. ”
