Chapter 42: A Brief Parting
"Heck, I thought it would be like in the story, he kept provoking like a mad dog, and then Lane you were forced to deal with it, and beat him like a dead dog with one move. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Although Sang Lan may be angry, Viscount Figaro, as an uncle, still reluctantly manages him.
And when the young man sulked for a while, he calmed down and thought about it, and he was also worried about Li En, and he didn't dare to provoke him again.
If Lane threw his gloves at him and asked for a duel, wouldn't his own life be lost here?
The young man, who was originally arrogant and wanted to be in the limelight in front of his uncle, had dispelled his unrealistic thoughts at the moment, and shrank into a guest room and drank stuffy wine.
A little disappointed, Annieen couldn't help but mutter.
In these days, although paper existed, it was not feasible to write any novels.
Low-grade paper is cheap, but the quality is also extremely poor and impractical.
The cost of making paper that can be written or even printed is unusually high, after all, it is often made of sheepskin or calfskin.
An ordinary book, the cost of materials alone is enough to make all poor nobles feel distressed.
That said, the stories passed down by the bards are not limited by this limitation.
Repeating the words of those ancient heroic legends, the audience naturally got bored sometimes.
While the bards tried to collect hearsay and create new stories, they also tried to improve the old ones.
A simple sentence: the hero defeated the monster and returned home with the treasure, but on the way he encountered bandits who wanted to rob him, but he was wittily killed......
Such a small number of words will turn into a long story of more than tens of thousands of words in the mouths of some powerful bards.
After all, most of the expanded word counts are still made up out of thin air, and poets often don't care about rigor.
As a result, you will find that many villains have become particularly stupid in the story, and there are endless routines of pretending to be x slapping faces.
The mercenaries had naturally heard a lot of these stories, and now that they could really see disputes between nobles, it was not uncommon for people like Anien to be full of anticipation and eager to watch the play.
"Is it okay to offend that guy?"
Ellie, on the other hand, was much more concerned than Annene, after all, that Sang Lan was also the nephew of the local lord, and he was a nobleman himself.
Although it made her happy that Lane offended the nobles in order to defend her mercenary companions, she was a little unsure about the consequences of such an act.
"Don't worry, Viscount Figaro and I have some friendship now, and he will naturally discipline his nephew well. ā
Lane smiled and said, "Even if that guy really wants to trouble us...... We're not the lords of the Red River Valley, so why do we live here and wait for him to come and ask for trouble?"
It is not surprising that the Red River Valley used to have wild times in the early years, but now it has been well exploited by humans, and even wild wolves are on the verge of extinction......
In this environment, there are not many good mercenaries.
So a few people here, including Bai Si and Maddie, are not locals, but have come from the surrounding area in response to the call of the mercenary union.
It's troublesome to offend a regional lord like the viscount, but it's just a knight...... Hehe.
With two legs on their bodies, the mercenaries are also free people, and this is not their traditional activity area, so there is nothing to worry about, and it is not easy to leave?
In this way, although everyone is no longer worried about Sang Lan's affairs, they are also aware of a problem.
Since everyone has gathered from all over the world, it is necessary to return to the area where they used to be active.
It's not uncommon for elite mercenaries to come together as individuals.
Even if it is a so-called joint operation, it is usually a complete mercenary group acting together, and each mercenary group is responsible for a part of the mission.
It's just gotten acquainted, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and they're about to part. The mercenaries were not familiar with this parting.
After all, it is difficult for one person to cope with many unexpected situations, and almost all mercenaries act with their own mercenary groups.
Even Li En, a special case, actually holds the position of the head of the "Green Arrow Mercenary Group" where the original owner of this body belongs, but because he did not recruit new members, he is a lonely person.
"People always rely on fate in this life, since we almost didn't know each other before, and we can all get together today, why be afraid that we won't be able to meet again in the future?"
Julian can see it, and it's no wonder, after all, except for the second Ryne, he is the oldest, and he is relatively accustomed to seeing wind and rain.
"We are the elite of the mercenaries, and in the future, there will be opportunities for cooperation......
Aren't you interested in what Brother Lane said?"
Who wouldn't be interested?
If it is likely to go against the purpose of a mercenary to be a bodyguard for an ordinary nobleman, then obviously, it will not be the case for Rie, who is also a mercenary for himself.
The temptation to follow a future great man is something that no one can easily resist.
"Speaking of reunions, you probably know that in a while, the Crown of the Seven Nations Tournament will be held in Galacais, right?"
Rien took the flask, refilled the red wine for his friends, and continued, "We can meet there in the near future." ā
"Oh...... Mo Fei Lien, you want to participate in those noble competitions?
Hmph, those big young masters with fists and embroidered legs, where can they withstand your beating?"
Ellie laughed twice, and then continued: "It's better for you to participate in the mercenary's competition, otherwise, there really is no suspense." ā
The Crown of the Seven Kingdoms Tournament is not just a stage for nobles.
The arrogant aristocrats were unwilling to compete with mercenaries and other lowly people, so they divided into separate divisions for nobles and commoners......
In Ellie's understanding, most of the nobles are half-people who can only be seen on the surface in terms of combat effectiveness.
I have to admit that there are not a few noble children who can dance the sword into a ball of silver flowers to attract a smile from the noble lady, but they can't kill a sheep.
Really powerful young nobles are not a drop in the bucket, and there are definitely not many in general.
On the contrary, there are a lot of mercenaries, officers, and even outlaws in the civilian area, and basically every game can meet good opponents, which is relatively more challenging.
Although this competition is a selection of young talents, there is an age limit, such as Julian, he will definitely not be able to participate, but he will also go to Galacais.
After all, with more people, there are naturally more tasks, such as escorting a certain noble lord to visit the competition, and the pay is very good.
Then, naturally, there is a chance to meet again. (To be continued.) )
