Chapter 25: Back to the City
In a bar in Kadu, a group of bored people are chatting.
Since the people of the Black Tiger Regiment have also disappeared, the original small cluster of mercenary squads in Kadu City have done surprisingly good business, and almost all of them have been hired continuously, and all of them have made a small fortune.
These mercenaries, who had money, came out of the trial swamp and ran to the only bar in the city for recreation as soon as possible. The old ones talked about their heroic deeds in the past, and the young ones interjected a few times in praise from time to time. In the casual conversation, it is inevitable to talk about the Black Tiger Group.
A big man said: "Recently, the business has been really good, and they are all small-scale caravans, nearly half the time faster than Pingyue, but the commission is fifty percent more than Pingyue, it seems that the Black Tiger Regiment has really made a lot of money! The people of the Black Tiger Regiment have disappeared really well, and it is long overdue to give us the opportunity." ”
"That's right, my business has been good lately, if it goes on like this, I can become a little rich in a year, hahahaha! The road back and forth from the swamp is already ripe, I can walk over it with my eyes closed, it's really safe and profitable!"
A few people also made fun and said, "Then once the Black Tiger Regiment comes back, won't we have no chance to make a fortune?"
"You have a lot of things, how can you think about such uncomfortable things. I don't think the Black Tiger Regiment will come back this time, otherwise it's been almost two months, and we've protected a few caravans three or four times back and forth, and none of the Black Tiger Regiment people have appeared, so they should all be hanging. ”
"It is estimated that this is the case, the Black Tiger Regiment people are arrogant enough, they have occupied the big business of the two cities, and they are crazy about suppressing our small mercenary group, so it is better to disappear like this and never appear. ”
"Hehe, this time the Black Tiger Regiment provoked the wolf army because of that baby, hehe, it is estimated that there were heavy casualties, and I have never seen anyone kill the people around that baby so easily. The people of the Black Tiger Regiment probably touched a large stone slab. ”
"Look at what you said about that wolf army so powerful, is it true, as far as I know, that wolf army seems to be just a second-level adventure team, dare to touch the people of the Black Tiger Regiment?"
"Don't believe it, then tell me, where are all the people of the Black Tiger Regiment now?"
"Maybe I found something good in the depths of the swamp, so I rushed in with a lot of people, but I ran into a dragoon, so I disappeared, which is normal. ”
"Cut, nonsense, I have a brother over there, and I saw with my own eyes that the commander of the Black Tiger Regiment was clamoring to kill everyone in the Wolf Army and took everyone out. ”
"Then according to what you say, the people of the Black Tiger Regiment were wiped out by the people of the Wolf Army? There are only a few of them, and there are a few people in the Black Tiger Regiment, use your brains to think about it, how is it possible?"
"But those young men of the wolf army are very powerful, and those two young ladies are really powerful, I saw them when the people from the Black Tiger Regiment came to clean up the corpses. ”
"Maybe the people of the wolf army were killed, and you don't see that none of them have come back?"
"Maybe it's all gone, and neither side can come back. ”
"The boys of the wolf army didn't mess with you, why did you curse them?"
"It's not that I said, they're going to the Dragon Refining Cave, what kind of place is there, even if the people of the Black Tiger Regiment have been killed by them, so what, it's not a death when you meet the dragoons, your warning as a dragoon is playing, I think they are also more auspicious. ”
"Why don't you want to order a good one, I think those people in the wolf army must be fine. ”
"Then tell me, where are the people of the wolf army now?"
"Maybe they're resting, they're recuperating, they're wandering. ”
"Do you think it's possible, the opponent is the dragoon and the Black Tiger Regiment!"
As if agreeing with his partner's point of view, he nodded silently and said, "It's a pity, those young men." ”
The companion said: "It's over if you accept your fate, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, it is estimated that there are no bones left now." ”
......
"Why don't you speak?" the one who asked urged his partner, but saw his partner staring straight at the door, as if he was stupid.
Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his partner's eyes, and asked, "What's the matter, what do you see, aren't there just two beautiful girls, and your eyes are straight?" Wake up, wake up." ”
The partner finally spoke, stammering, "They... They..."
The one on the other side finally became anxious and shouted, "What the hell is wrong with them?"
It took a long time for the partner to regain his senses, and suddenly said, "They're back." ”
"Who's back?" the big man was puzzled.
"The wolf army, the people of the wolf army are back, you see that wolf, there are a lot of people, they are back, oh my God!"
As soon as the big man turned his head, he saw the smiling Wang Feng walking towards the counter with a few people drinking a wolf. The expression was as usual, but behind him, Ruohan was carrying a large package, which contained all the valuable things of the Black Tiger Regiment they had collected.
Everyone's eyes focused on the black longbow on Linda's back, and Qi Qi gasped. People who often beg for a living here know this bow, which is the personal weapon of the deputy head of the Black Tiger Regiment. Now that the weapons are here, that means people...
The originally noisy bar became silent after Wang Feng and others came in. Even the elf proprietress didn't make any moves, and it wasn't until Wang Feng and the others called her that she rushed over. After ordering a few glasses of wine, everyone drank slowly, and the people around them began to whisper slowly.
The big man who had just spoken turned white, and asked in a low voice: "Is it really them, don't be mistaken, I just finished their bad words, don't scare me so much." ”
"How can you admit your mistake, look at that white wolf, I don't know if they heard us, hurry up. ”
The two quietly left the bar, and then the news of the wolf army's return from the Dragon Refining Cave immediately spread to the whole city.
Wang Feng and the others set off from Kadu to enter the Dragon Refining Cave, it took almost a month, and in order to save people, they delayed for more than 30 days, and finally left from the headquarters of the dragoons.
When he left, Kulin handed over more than thirty reserve dragoons who had failed the trial to Wang Feng.
Although they don't know the depth of Wang Feng, at least Wang Feng saved their lives, and these people are still grateful to Wang Feng. Therefore, Wang Feng's orders were also faithfully implemented, saving Wang Feng a lot of trouble.
There were suddenly so many more people in the wolf army, and everyone was a little unaccustomed to it. After all, there are more people and more things. Fortunately, these people are well trained and nothing particular is a hassle.
These people only failed at the last step of the trial, so it should be said that they are all good players, but they are a little less lucky. But no matter where you put it, it's definitely a strong force.
Now that he has a hidden enemy, Wang Feng doesn't want to expose all his strength to the world. Therefore, Wang Feng had these reserve dragoons secretly stationed at a location provided by Snow. It was a forest on the outskirts of the dwarven settlement, and it was often infested with magical beasts, so it was rarely inhabited, which was suitable for a small army like this to hide.
Wang Feng took his original squad and Harlem back to Ferding City.
Out of the swamp and to Kadu, everyone went into the tavern to rest. It caused a sensation in the city.
Entering the depths of the trial swamp, destroying the Black Tiger Regiment, finding the Dragon Refining Cave, and returning safely from the hands of the Dragoons, and leaving no one behind, this is not something that a second-level team can do.
The shrewd merchant is already planning to hire a wolf army tomorrow to protect his caravan. But they were doomed to disappointment.
After a short night's rest in Kadu, considering Haring's mood, everyone hurried away before dawn, leaving all the merchants who were waiting for hope in vain.
The dragon of the dragoons is not allowed to be ridden by everyone, Wang Feng once had the idea of buying a horse, but it was vetoed. The main reason is that you can't buy a horse.
Now all the horses in the empire are deployed by the army and the nobility, and there are no horses for civilian use.
The brave mercenary group actually has a horse in its hands, and it is estimated that Iger has nothing to do with the people of the military, or some kind of noble child. Horses can be obtained through official means.
Wang Feng was very puzzled, the military and the court controlled most of the materials, horses, magic cores, etc., listening to Snowchecker, most of the magicians must serve in the army after reaching the intermediate level, and a few can serve in the court and the church. The same was true for the samurai. What is the reason why the military controls so many forces and supplies?
It is no wonder that there are no particularly powerful masters among the people, and they have all been firmly controlled by the state. Now it seems that the empire is calm, there are no disputes, and the people pretend to live and work in peace, but it is estimated that in fact it is not so calm, and the calm surface hides the turbulence of the militaristic waves.
Although everyone has been in a hurry, it is not much faster to rely on walking alone. This time instead of exercising restraint on the road as usual, Aisha's speed amazed Haring. I never thought that a magician, still a woman, would have such good physical strength.
In order to take care of Haring's emotions, everyone couldn't take care of it so much along the way, and finally Fitting City was in sight.
Maybe it's more homesick, but Harlem is a little afraid to go into the city. Wang Feng also understood his mood, so he didn't have any special behavior, and found a place for everyone to rest and rest together.
Although Haring has been in the ice for almost twenty years, the years have not brought any traces to him, and people who don't know the details still think that he is a young man in his early twenties. It is estimated that his father will not dare to recognize it when he sees it.
When he was resting, Haring was even more unsettled, looking at his appearance, others couldn't laugh if they wanted to, and Wang Feng didn't know how to comfort him, so he just patted him lightly on the shoulder.
After a long time, Haring finally behaved a little normal, and was embarrassed to say sorry to everyone, and everyone looked at him with a smile.
Having made up their minds, everyone went into the city together.
The city was still the same as when they left, and nothing had changed much. Easily, the group found where the original father lived. It's still the same, dirty and messy.
It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still shining brightly on the place.
Wang Feng and his entourage are so distinctive, people who come and go can't help but take a few more looks. Wang Feng had already seen it, and Haring's father was also watching them from afar.
Call Harlem over, point him in Daddy's direction, and let him go over on his own.
Seeing this, Harlem's father hurriedly ran up, hugged his father, and looked at it carefully, neither of them spoke, just looked at each other quietly. Tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
couldn't bear to see the scene of their father and son getting together, Wang Feng said softly to a few other people, and took the lead to leave this place. When they entered the city, they had already told Haring where they were going to stay, and now they were heading for the inn.
Perhaps it was the scene of the father and son meeting that infected several other people, and Aisha never spoke. Chuck slowly comforted him.
Wang Feng hadn't felt family affection for a long time, and he also had some feelings, and said to them: "Aisha, Chuck, didn't you say that you will go home and have a look after this mission, you will leave tomorrow, you have been out for a long time, and you must go home to see." The two nodded silently.
Went to the hotel to rest, and there was nothing to do all night.
Early the next morning, Wang Feng took everyone to the long-lost tavern to sit. After a night's rest, everyone was in good spirits, Harlem had not returned, and everyone did not go to him, and slowly enjoyed the ale in the tavern.
Suddenly, a businessman-like figure approached and asked mysteriously, "Are you a wolf army?"
Everyone was puzzled, and Snow said, "Yes, what do you have to do?"
When the merchant heard this, an eager look immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "I heard that you now have a second-level demon core in your hands, I don't know if it is convenient to transfer it to the contemptible people. ”
Snow asked, "Where did you know we have a magic core?"
The merchant's eyes widened, and he said, "Word has spread in the city, and you have become famous since the last time you eliminated the greedy wolf. A few months ago, the Brave Mercenary Regiment came back and transferred their mission to your regiment, saying that you have eliminated the Tyrannosaurus with a military bounty and taken the Demon Core, so I want to ......"
Wang Feng and a few people glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that this Iger really gave them the task, this person is not useless, at least in some cases, he can still be able to speak.
Wang Feng smiled suddenly, and said to the businessman: "You are so bold, you dare to ask for the magic core of the military bounty, how many lives do you have?"
The merchant's face changed drastically, and he retreated again and again, and said as he retreated: "Count me not to say, count me not to say." He turned his head and disappeared.
Watching the businessman flee the bar in embarrassment, everyone burst into laughter.
After laughing, Wang Feng looked at everyone, everyone was waiting for him to decide, and said with a smile: "Idle is idle, first dispose of our loot." ”
Ruohan took out the large package full of things from the room and went out to a special store to sell it.
The people here may have always had a concept of the people of the Black Tiger Regiment, just as they were ordinary weapons traders. When I saw a bunch of weapons and armor, I thought they had eliminated some kind of thief group or something.
The things used by the people of the Black Tiger Regiment were really good, and they got a lot of money very smoothly, almost 10,000 gold coins. When he came out, Ruohan's big burden was gone, but everyone had a few thousand more gold coins on their crystal cards. They're all a little rich.
It's no wonder that people with a little force or magic go to be adventurers, and sometimes the money comes too quickly.
After disposing of the loot, Wang Feng and the others came to the Adventurer's Guild to check on the situation.
As soon as I entered the union, I was immediately received with a grand reception.
The last time they eliminated the greedy wolf, everyone was indescribably grateful to the wolf army, and this time they had the magic core of the military bounty in their hands, and the staff of the guild did not dare to slack off, and they were indescribably courteous.
When I asked, I learned that this time the military did not send a large force to eliminate the tyrannosaurus because the troops were resting, but used a reward to summon civilian forces to solve the problem.
However, the military didn't know that there was a second-level magic core at first, and the magic core was added later as a necessity for the mission, and the people in the guild didn't know what was going on.
The only people who know that they have a magic core in their hands are the wolf army's own people and the people of the brave mercenary group, so whoever mentioned this condition doesn't know for themselves.
What is now more certain is that Iger must have a deep relationship with the military.
In any case, the magic core is estimated to be unable to be kept. Wang Feng didn't want to cause unpleasantness to himself and the people in the military within the empire. Moreover, Wang Feng was originally a person from the army and understood the way the military sometimes did things.
It was very refreshing to ask Aisha to take out the magic core. Aisha was originally a little reluctant, but when she saw the boss's eyes, she was still very aggrieved and handed it over to the people of the guild.
The staff in charge of the reception of the guild had obviously never seen such a level of magic core, so they took it and looked at it for a long time before running to the house in the back.
After a while, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild in Feiding City came out, first expressed his gratitude to the wolf army on behalf of the local government and the military, and instructed the staff to calculate the corresponding experience and level of this mission, and personally deposited the amount of the bounty into Wang Feng's crystal card.
It seems that the military has invested enough money this time to destroy the tyrannosaurus and obtain the magic core, and has actually offered a reward of 5,000 gold coins, and the special reward is that each person who completes the task will be upgraded to a level. In other words, the original sixth-level Aisha can become seventh.
Strangely, this special reward was only shared by Aisha, Chuck, Linda and Ruohan, but Wang Feng did not. Wang Feng thought about it carefully, and immediately knew that it was still Egg's ghost, and he only saw four people make a move that day, so he used this method to Yin Wang Feng.
For the level of this adventurer, Wang Feng didn't look at it, the first level and the hundred level didn't have any specific meaning to him at all. Therefore, for this special reward, Wang Feng didn't care at all.
On top of that, my partners have all been promoted to a higher level because of this, which is a bonus. And this matter, at least to ensure the safety of one party, is still meaningful. There is no virtual benefit to this little bit either.
An interesting phenomenon has emerged, the wolf army has now been upgraded to a third-level adventure team, but the leader is still a lowest-level adventurer, which has never been seen before in the history of the empire.
Leaving the guild, Wang Feng thought about his future itinerary.
Aisha and Chuck are going home, and he and Snow agree to go back to their clan to meet the Master Foundry for a while, just in time for him to see if the Polar Iron can be forged. A detachment of dragoons was also stationed in the forest over there, well, so decided.
As soon as I told everyone what I thought, Aisha and Chuck did not object, Ruohan immediately said that she wanted to be with the boss, Linda also said that she wanted to go with Wang Feng to have a look, and finally, Aisha and Wang Feng agreed that after going to the dwarf clan, they would go to Aisha and Chuck's house to find them.
Just do it, pack up your things, and everyone will set off immediately.
Since the establishment of the Wolf Army, this is the first time that they have acted separately, and everyone doesn't know what kind of emotion it is, and no one said anything when they broke up.
After sending Aisha and Chuck away, Wang Feng took Snow, Ruohan and Linda to find Harlem together, asked him to stay at home for a while and then report to the place where the team gathered, and gave him some gold coins for him to settle down Daddy, and several people left Feiding City and slowly walked towards Snow's hometown.
