Chapter 1156: The Stalkers

A tracking team closest to the Marquis of Farshid and his party.

This team was secretly commissioned by the Mercenary Guild to hunt down the 'fugitive slaves'. Even if the employer provided a picture of the person, the target was clearly wearing aristocratic clothing, and the obvious coat of arms was not concealed. But since the employer insisted that he was a fugitive slave, then everyone treated him as a fugitive slave.

The reason why such a mercenary team that doesn't care about details can be found is because the Risa family did not go through the official channel of the mercenary guild and issued a commission. And will accept this kind of commission that is similar to private work, and the composition of this team is not all good people.

In short, the hired party will hire this kind of person, and they are also thinking about how to solve the other party after the matter is over, and by the way, they will kill and repay the debt. And the hired party is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is clear about his situation. But if they dare to take on this kind of private work that wanders in the gray area, they themselves have the plan and ability to get paid well and get out of the way.

In any case, this team is quite literate in terms of tracking people compared to other teams hired by the employers behind them.

They are the fastest to hoist behind their target. Along the way, all the judgments made about the target were accurate. Therefore, the overseers from the employer's family who sent to follow were very satisfied with the performance of this team.

Especially when he used the forum to report the progress of this team to his superiors, he was even more excited by the praise and news he received. The Grand Duke has offered a reward for the target! If you catch the target and dispose of this group of people according to the established plan, then all the credit and bounty will be your own.

It just didn't keep him immersed in his delusions for too long, and the abruptly halted team brought him to his senses. Then he saw the leading old hunter crouching, rubbing his fingers with the soil and weeds that had been pinched up from the ground.

"What's wrong?" The Overseer asked. He then looked at another guide, who was using a browser magic stone, and above it was a screen of the Guide to the Uncharted Forest. "Didn't you follow the route suggested by that source? Or are you going in the wrong direction and want to reconfirm your position? ”

Anyone who walks outside the world knows that maps are not everything. Especially for people who don't have a sense of direction and don't know where they are on the map, even if they get a detailed map, they won't be able to use it. There is no GPS satellite positioning in the maze. That's why the overseer wonders if the person leading the way has led him off the beaten path and taken a route other than the guide's advice.

"No, it's not our problem. It's the goal that has changed direction. ”

"Oh." The Overseer wasn't stupid enough to ask how to see it, as he had been washed several times before. Each time, the leading old hunter proved that he was right in tracking; The overseer, whether it is a suggestion or a criticism, is wrong. "If the target changes direction, which route can I get here?" He asked the team member who had opened the map.

Without waiting for the employer to ask, the man was already looking for information. They want to find out which safe route they can take from where they are. But the old hunter judged and said, "I don't need to look for it, they have chosen a route that is not recommended by the guide." I finally found out, I thought you would be stupid and keep walking. The last sentence was like a whisper, addressed to those who were not there.

"Oh, old man, do you know where the target is going?" One of the team members was questioned. Everyone in the squad had a time of rebellion, but the old hunter's skills were still very convincing to them.

The old hunter came from the person who opened the map to come to the magic stone. Neatly use the function of browsing the page, and come to the page of the map and the distribution map of the Warcraft realm. "If they find that the tracker can follow the same information and follow the suggested route, then they should find a route that is not on the suggested list. A route they are sure they can pass. ”

The leader of the squad, he came to the old hunter and looked at the same map. After thinking for a moment, he thought for a moment according to the old hunter's idea, and said, "They can't turn back the way they came, and if they do, they will run into us directly." Is it possible to take a detour to a different road and fork off to a safe route in another area? ”

The captain is on the map, gesturing a direction with his finger. If someone really walked like this, it meant that he would spend a few more days traversing half of the secret realm forest before he could find a way to penetrate the forest. And the best option would be to go back to the old way, if they hadn't entered the forest, towards the path that the Duchy of Kaveh would have taken.

However, in doing so, it was contrary to their intention to reduce the time it takes to return to the dukedom through the shortcut of the secret forest. Therefore, the old hunter did not agree with such a judgment, but instead drew the route he thought of on the map. "I think there's a good chance they're going in that direction. And judging from the traces they left on the ground, they did go this way. Unless, after that, they turn in other directions. ”

The team was familiar with the contents of the Guide to the Uncharted Forest, not to mention that they had entered the forest several times in search of rare magical materials commissioned by other employers. So they knew whose territory the old hunter would pass through on the route he had taken. They all showed surprised expressions, and the captain was even more surprised: "Through the territory of the Biqing Dragon!" Is this possible? ”

"That dragon is negotiable, isn't it?" So said the old hunter.

As long as you are growing up and living in the vicinity of the secret forest, or in the imperial capital, you will definitely hear some nursery rhymes about the green dragon. It's nothing more than someone who gets a gift from the green dragon, or a magic book, or an indestructible sword, and then becomes a hero. So in many people's perception, the image of this dragon is quite positive.

"Which ones do you believe? How do I think that according to our preparations, the chances of being planted in the hands of that dragon are still relatively high. The captain asked rhetorically. For those who live in the gray area, they are born with no belief in fairy tales that can get some powerful gifts from greedy dragons and then achieve great things.

Dragons are not merchants, and merchants at least know how to trade at the same price, even if their valuation standards are not the same as those of ordinary people. Dragons are only in and out of the goods, and greed is the most basic. To have a reciprocal dialogue with them, you must first have the strength of reciprocity. And this is what stumps the vast majority of human beings. Therefore, the vast majority of people present did not believe that anyone could get anything from Bi Qinglong.

But the old hunter said, "Whether the nursery rhymes are true or not, at least the dragon is negotiable." Regardless of whether or not our target has been in contact with that dragon, I think the Grand Duke's family could have paid the dragon for helping, if the target was really that important to the Grand Duke's family. ”

In fact, it involved the identity of the target and what the Grand Duke's family wanted to do. This is a bit of an overstep for mercenaries. The old hunter didn't want to offend the Grand Duke's family, so he said, "Or at least, I think we can afford to be able to roam freely in the territory of the Jade Dragon." It's a great way to keep track of our targets, isn't it? ”
