Ryan looked over and saw a team of more than twenty mercenaries, walking briskly from the other side of the street, apparently heading towards the Gesodo Hill outside the town

All the mercenaries in the team were fully armed, with solemn expressions, and the few people led by them had serious faces

Wherever the procession passed, the inhabitants standing in the street gave way, and as the procession passed, the people began to talk again, some of them, changing their frightened expressions, and becoming excited, and were smiling and describing aloud to their companions

After a little thought, Ryan understood what the team was going to do, this was a team of mercenaries, and it should be some residents of the street who had gone to Gesodo Hill to investigate, and obviously recognized the origin of this team of mercenaries, so they were full of confidence in them

As the procession faded away, the residents of the streets returned to their state of apprehensive waiting, worrying and fearing

The howling was still screaming, and Ryan was so disturbed by the howling that he didn't have the heart to cultivate, and his spirit had not yet reached the point of exhaustion to sleep, so he stood by the window and waited for the development of events

After a short time, the howling suddenly stopped, as if it had never appeared, and the inhabitants who were talking in the street suddenly stopped talking and stared blankly at the mountain of Gesodo

All of a sudden, the town became very quiet, there was no sound, and it was eerily quiet

After a brief silence, the voices of the residents began to sound again, and the voices were so loud that the residents, who did not know what was going on, had different opinions

But the good times didn't last long, and after a while, the howl suddenly sounded again, and in the blink of an eye, it was back to the same as before

Then, the howl stopped and hovered in my ears

Ryan stood by the window for a long time, but he didn't notice anything going on in the town, except for the howl coming from the mountains of Gessodo, everything seemed very normal

At this time, Ryan thought that nothing strange should happen in the town, and the howling only happened in the mountains of Gesodo and would not affect the town, so he decided not to watch it anymore and went back to his room to rest

Indeed, not only Ryan had this idea, but also the residents of the streets, and many people had this idea, and they went home one after another to continue sleeping

There was no word all night, and as the day grew brighter, the howling became quieter and quieter, until it stopped at dawn altogether

After eating breakfast, Ryan didn't go out, but stayed in the room and practiced Dou Qi, he wanted to make up for the time he wasted in the middle of the night last night

It wasn't until noon that Ryan stopped practicing, and when he went out, he needed to eat to fill his stomach and learn about the developments of last night's howling incident

Soon, Ryan filled his stomach and was about to go to sit down for wine and ask about the news, but unexpectedly, when Ryan was walking on the street, he heard two mercenaries talking loudly

"Hurry up, let's go to the East City Gate and look at the notice to see if it's true?"

"You say, is there really a bounty for that many gold coins?"

"I don't know, let's go check it out and talk about it"

……

Suddenly, Rui An's thoughts: "It seems that something must have happened at the city gate" Immediately, Ruian turned around, followed behind the two mercenaries, and went to the gate of the East City

After a while, when he came to the east gate, Ryan found that there were many people crowded near the gate, especially in front of a poster, which was crowded into hundreds of people

In this crowded and noisy environment, Ryan didn't squeeze in to read the notice, and with the current level of crowding, he couldn't squeeze in

But this did not prevent Ryan from understanding what was going on, and his method was very simple, he didn't need to squeeze in to read the notice, just walk around in the crowd of people who were talking, and then listen carefully to what was going on

Sure enough, a moment later, Ryan knew the ins and outs of the incident

It turned out that the strange events in the past few days in the mountains of Gesodo had made the people in the town deeply disturbed, and everyone did not know what had happened in the mountains of Gesodo, and they did not know what impact it would have on the town of Gesodo

But one thing is for sure, what happened is definitely not a good thing, because a team of soldiers has gone to investigate, and it has disappeared without a trace

Therefore, the mayor of the town called some nobles and merchants in the town to discuss countermeasures, and the result was unanimously decided to raise a sum of gold coins, issue a mercenary mission, and hire mercenaries to investigate the results and solve the incident

The message is simple, stating that anyone who can investigate what happened to Mount Gasodo and solve the matter will be rewarded with 5,000 gold coins

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Five thousand gold coins is really a lot of money, but with such a large amount of gold coins, there must be something wrong with it, and this task may be very difficult to complete."

The more Ryan thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something wrong with this

Five thousand gold coins, this is a bit more, although the Kingdom of Yaluo is much richer than the Duchy of Pooles, although it was raised by some rich people in Gesodo Town, it can only be regarded as a small amount in the eyes of some rich people, but in the eyes of Ryan, it is a huge amount of money As soon as this task is released, it is conceivable that it will definitely attract many people to take risks, especially many poor people like Ryan However, this task is definitely difficult to complete, otherwise people would not use so many gold coins

After all, no one is a fool in this world

In addition, Ryan heard that in order to take on this task, he must first go to the mayor to collect it, and after getting their confirmation, it will be effective

Ryan was thinking, it is estimated that the gang of guys who issued the mission are also afraid, many mercenaries with poor strength, hot-headed, swarming to run on adventures, and when the time comes, there will be many deaths, and it will be difficult for them to settle the place to simply formulate, and only give money after confirming the strength of the people who go, so as to put an end to some opportunistic people

The mayor of Gessodo Town came up with this trick of offering a reward, which is a good idea for the people in the town, although the gold coins are a little more, but they hand over the problem to others to solve, and they don't have to contribute themselves at all If the mercenaries solve it well, then it can be regarded as spending money to buy peace, if it is not solved well, then I'm sorry, this money can't be given to you

If they solve it themselves, maybe a lot of people will die, they have already lost a team of soldiers before, if these soldiers encounter accidents, then they will have to pay a lot of money for the settlement fee, it is better to pay a lot of money now, and leave the problem to those mercenaries to solve, and the life and death of others are none of their business

Ryan doesn't have much gold on his body now, and he is starting to earn some gold coins, but in the face of such a large bounty of 5,000 gold coins, Ryan, who is a level 4 swordsman, really doesn't dare to take it, and he doesn't have the ability or qualifications to take it

So, after shaking his head, Ryan planned to leave the crowded city gates, and he even planned to leave the town of Gessodo after staying for a few days and go somewhere else

Unexpectedly, just as Ryan left the crowd and was about to leave here, a thin man in his thirties dressed as a mercenary blocked Ryan's way

Ryan immediately became vigilant, he took half a step back with his right foot, and bent his legs slightly, so that his legs could exert force at any time, advance and attack, and retreat Ryan's right hand was slightly raised and placed next to his shoulder, so that he could grab the heavy sword on his back at any time, and he could give the opponent a heavy blow in an instant

Ryan, who has rich combat experience and has traveled for a long time, can be said to have a lot of experience in dealing with emergencies

Seeing Ryan's guarded look, the thin man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This friend, don't misunderstand, I have no malicious intent."

"Oh?" Ryan was slightly surprised and asked directly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Friend, I would like to ask, are you interested in taking on this task together?" The thin man didn't talk nonsense either, and directly explained his intentions

Rui An's mind turned around, but he immediately replied: "I'm not interested" For these people who seem to have bad intentions, it is the best way to refuse directly, and Ryan will not be so stupid as to think that just two people can take on this dangerous and unknown task

The thin man smiled and continued: "Friend, don't refuse first, it's not for you and me to take on this task, I'm not so desperate" The thin man obviously saw Ryan's thoughts, indeed, normal people would have such concerns

Suddenly, Ryan was aroused by some interest, but he still said expressionlessly: "Oh? You say come and hear it."

"Let me introduce myself, I'm a member of the Tiger Mercenary Group"

"The Tiger Mercenary Regiment?" Ryan repeated, saying that he had never heard of this name too ordinary, and the mercenary with such an ordinary name was estimated to be not very strong

"Friends must be from other places, in fact, our Tiger mercenary group is the best and most powerful in Gesodo Town"

"Oh?" Ryan's tone was full of disbelief, anyone could say anything, but the real situation was unknown, and even if the mercenary group was the best in Gesodo Town, it was not even a fart with other mercenary groups in the big cities, or within the scope of the Yaluo Kingdom

Seeing Ryan's look of complete disbelief, the thin man's face changed, but then he controlled his temper and explained: "Friend, you must have seen a mercenary group go to Gesodo Mountain to investigate last night" The thin man paused, and after seeing that Ryan didn't say anything, he continued: "That's our mercenary group"

At this moment, Ryan's interest was completely aroused, and he immediately asked, "What did you find?" ”

This time it was the turn of the thin man to sell the guanzi, and he said unhurriedly: "Friend, you don't have to worry, our mercenary group has indeed found some situations, but with the strength of our mercenary group, we can't be completely sure to complete this bounty task, so we want to invite some powerful mercenaries to form a group to complete this bounty task together, and everyone will share this commission equally, I don't know if my friends are interested in joining us and taking this task together?" ”

After saying that, the thin man stared at Ryan expectantly, waiting for Ryan's answer (to be continued.)
