Chapter Thirty-Eight: Crooked Strikes

Thinking that there might be a non-human existence in front of him made Ed a little excited, what is this world like, in addition to humans, there are also elven dwarf beings?

Quietly activated the inscription, "This ranger is suspected of having other non-human blood, and the information is missing, please ask the host to investigate in detail." After all, Ed himself had never seen the elves, and the Engraving could not provide more useful help, but it only confirmed the boy's suspicions.

"Don't jump to conclusions, if you want to get this job, please remove your disguise and face to face with your employer!" Ed said in a more conceited tone than the other party, whether it is an elf or a haughty, now he is picking people, and the initiative is in his own hands.

"Hmph, you want me to take off my hat by claiming to be our employer, are we already in agreement at this point?" the haughty Schilling sounded cold and unangry even when he said questioning.

Eddard knew what the other party was up to, and retreated as advance, but he didn't care about the competition between these rangers and the previous druids, and it would be good to have more scouts.

"Of course, you've got the job, and hopefully you'll have a good time working with the druids in the future, so take off your hat now!"

The corners of Shirin's mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, fleeting but did not escape Ed's gaze, she gently took off her hood, and even generously lifted one side of her hair, revealing her pointed ears, and then quickly leaned over and whispered in Ed's ear: "It seems that you are very interested in me, if you want to know more about me, you can go to my tent and talk alone after departure!"

With that, she pulled up her hat again and hid herself in her clothes, and left Ed with her men.

Another thoughtful and hot mature woman, although Ed is still curious about the other party's bloodline, he doesn't want to feed the tiger with his body.

Eddard, who had been teased by the leader of the rangers, didn't notice it, and a small companion walking beside Shirin looked over several times, unusual compared to the other quiet rangers.

There are also several well-equipped small mercenary groups that appear later, they will be more useful when completing special tasks, and they were often selected by knights to carry out tasks such as harassment behind enemy lines, but Ed felt that they were not much better than ordinary soldiers who blessed the power of Delia's star spirit, so they rejected several waves of manpower, which made the guild members who recommended them puzzled.

Fortunately, a group of people in the finale saved face for them, and just after listening to the introduction, Ed decided that he must keep these people.

"The last one is a group of magical apprentices, and while those little tricks are far from being as good as the Psionic Knights on the battlefield, there is no denying that they are versatile in other ways, such as greasy techniques, hypnotism, and so on. ”

Without the other party to say more, Ed knows a lot of magical spells, and if they are used well, they are much more effective than soldiers, but unfortunately looking at the other party's appearance, there should be no high-level spells, and the direct effect on the battlefield is much smaller.

I don't know why, mages, druids and the like are of a very low level, and the level of the spells they can use is not high, is it because they have too little knowledge or is there something hindering their development?

Ed didn't know, he had access to too little now, and the people of this world were used to it, no one would have thought how great the mage could be, and the truth had been washed away by history, I'm afraid only God knew.

The leader of the other party wears a mask, and his voice does not distinguish between men and women, calling himself "gray", which is obviously a code name, and when he said it, a drop of cold sweat flowed from the forehead of the guild leader next to him, and he secretly looked at Ed this knight, for fear that he would think that this was disrespectful to the psyker, but fortunately, the young man was full of interest at this time, and the more mysterious the other party's expression, the more it inspired him to explore.

Ed communicated with these young mage apprentices for a while, and had a general understanding of their abilities, and at most he could only use a small number of second-ring spells, and there were also big deficiencies in the first-ring spells, far less than he expected, and of course there were some spell names he had never heard of.

Either way, this hire meant a lot to Ed, he had never been mentioned that there were mages and elves in the world before, and now he seemed to have finally glimpsed a corner of the world, but the truth was still hidden under a veil.

Coming out of the Mercenary Guild, Ed felt that he had gained a lot, and he didn't know how strange his unique selection vision was in the eyes of others, serious elite mercenaries don't want to choose some strange people, although those people are a little special, but on the battlefield, a hundred combined are not as useful as a handful of psionic knights.

What animal detection, greasy technique, charm technique, knight as long as the spiritual energy is not exhausted, can all be pushed over, abnormal states can rely on spiritual energy to greatly exempt, in the face of the powerful speed and power of the spiritual knight group when charging, history has proved several times that other qiē means are useless.

André didn't get involved, he believed in Ed's talent for armed combat along the way, and he himself had only spent a few years in Auware, although he was very smart, but at that time he was mostly focused on how to become a psychic knight, and he was very dismissive of other sideways, so he didn't have anything to advise.

The mercenaries were not entitled to enter the crown prince's castle en masse, and even if they were about to fight for him, the knights did not allow them to enter.

Andre arranged for the other party to camp near his team, and at the same time discussed the specific combat issues, Ed had no choice but to reluctantly return to Hill Castle, he was responsible for the safety of Delia at night.

At this time, Delia had also returned from the crown prince and brought good news to Ed.

"Ed, I knew you were worth relying on, thank you!" said Deria, who was chatting with little Elinor, when she saw Ed coming.

The words of thanks made Ed a little baffled, he didn't help anything in the past two days, although he just hired the mercenaries, but this is also within the bounds, in addition, he and Little Eleanor and they got mixed up in the tavern, and there was a group fight.

Ed scratched his head and looked at the little fat man next to him, waiting for his fox friend to explain.

Little Eleanor laughed, "This guy is by mistake, if I didn't thread the needle, how could that guy Tennison bring a group of people to join this expedition!"

Delia did not refute Little Elinor's boasting, and said happily to Ed: "Today, the young knight His Excellency Tennison persuaded many knights in the castle to agree to join the reinforcements of Ovalet with himself, and he also mentioned that he had a competition with Eddard, and he felt that he recognized your strength, and he was also curious about what was so good about the new commander to whom you were allegiated. ”

Delia was in a good mood, and she imitated a tone of Tennison's guy as she spoke, deliberately with a thick voice, and buzzed, which made Ed laugh, it turned out that she was fighting crookedly and had a fight with Tennison, but it was a vote for Delia to go out to recruit a vote, although with the power of the star spirit, the psionic knight was not indispensable in their eyes.

However, in the eyes of others, there was only one knight in the reinforcements who appeared out of nowhere, and the number of ordinary soldiers was meaningless, but now with a knight led by Tennison, it is different, and the new commander's team is finally considered an army.

However, some people are unhappy about this, and the big people in the shadows are about to start a conspiracy against Ed and others.
