There was a strong aroma of snow mutton coming from the pot, and Neo asked the man to fill himself another bowl, and said while drinking: "Hodak, you said that you still have friends among the warriors of the Twelve Zodiac Star Palaces, right?" ”

Hodak replied: "Yes, Master Neo, Alonso and Zeta-Jones, they are a husband and wife, we met when we used to be mercenaries, and we have been together since we met,"

Speaking of this, Hodak showed a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "Speaking of which, I have been friends for nearly ten years. We had saved each other many times on the battlefield, and the two of them were trusted comrades, and they were captured by the mage in that war. ”

Neo said, "So your friendship is very good, and I have a way to save them both." ”

Without waiting for Hodak to ask, Neo continued: "This time I owe Marquis Mario a lot of favors, I was thinking about how to return this favor, I just found an ice orchid in the goddess's garden this time, far beyond the varieties in the world, Marquis Mario cultivates the famous frost blade fighting qi, this ice orchid is very useful to him, I specially found it for him." I originally wanted the two of you to go back to Lianhua City, and when you go, bring this Ice Orchid to Marquis Mario, first, to express my gratitude to Marquis Mario, and second, this Ice Orchid in the Goddess's Garden is not comparable to the objects in the world. ”

After taking a sip of the hot mutton soup, Neo continued: "When you ask Marquis Mario, he will definitely agree." Our most important thing in Maple Grove is talent, and when the time comes, if Alonso and his wife are willing to come to our Maple Grove Town, it will be really unwanted. ”

"Thanks to the hosts, it was so nice! Kazak and I must have left them behind. ”

"Don't force it, it mainly depends on their own wishes."

Knowing that Neo had a way to rescue his old friend and that there was a good chance that they would fight side by side again in the future, the Barbarian brothers were so happy that they wanted to leave now.

What Neo lacks most at present is all kinds of talents, so as soon as he heard what the barbarian brothers said, he immediately made a decision and vigorously recruited them.

They walked on for two more days, and when they came to a fork in the road, Whorworth said, "Neo, do you remember?" ”

Wardwaters pointed to a road and asked Neo, "This road leads to Frostmoon City." Then he pointed to another road and said, "Thirty miles further from here is Xiaoqingshan, and the town below the mountain is called Baipi Song, and we will pass by in a moment." The gang of thieves I mentioned to you last time is on the mountain, should we get rid of them this time?" ”

Hearing what Wauwatts said, Pantanvili burst out foul language: "Yes, Lord Neo, his horse, this gang of robbers has been entrenched here for more than ten years, and everyone who comes to our Maple Grove Town will be robbed by him, so that almost no one wants to leave here, and many daily necessities are difficult to enter our Maple Grove Town, and we are so poor that Maple Grove Town is killed by them." ”

Hyfeld also received: "That's it, I've endured this breath for a long time, not only our Maple Grove Town, but also several towns around us have been miserable by them, Lord Neo, don't let them go." ”

Wards also said: "Most of our supplies in Maple Grove Town have to be bought from Frost Moon City, this is the only way to go, when the old master is here, every time these goods are transported, they are combined with several other towns, the old master takes the guards of Maple Grove Town and a few of us to escort them personally, and Count Fabilas also sends guards to escort them every time, making such trivial matters as if they are on a crusade." There was no way, everyone had to agree to bring in goods four times a year, and send troops together, and the things brought back were barely enough for the common people to use; On weekdays, when those small traders come to Fenglin Town, they have to pay them to buy roads, which makes the prices of our there remain high, and the lives of ordinary people are even worse. In the early years, both the old master and the Count of Fabilas tried to exterminate them, but as soon as we sent our troops, they hid in the forest, and when we were gone, they ran out and continued to do evil. After going back and forth like this a few times, the old master really didn't have any extra energy, so he could only let them go. After so many years, there are still more and more of their people, Neo, getting rid of them is to remove a great harm from our entire Frost Moon. ”

Everyone gritted their teeth when they talked about this gang of robbers. Wards and the others are now full of confidence, not to mention Neo, even the two brothers of Hodak are enough to exterminate this scourge.

Neo said: "This time I want to get rid of the thieves' eyeliner at the bottom of the mountain first, and knock them first. Didn't you say that many of the robbers were civilians they had taken captive? We can't kill them all, we still need the population in Maple Grove, and when we get back to Maple Grove, we'll see what we're doing there before deciding what to do with them. This time, I will first find out and get rid of the bandit accomplices in the town of Baibark Pine, give them a wake-up call, and let their accomplices in the mountains and forests think more and plan ahead. ”

Neo said this, and there was a hint of cold chill in his tone, "Hodak, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Hodak and Kazak replied together: "I will not be dishonored." ”

"Lord Neo," said Pantavili, "we are not completely defenseless against this gang of robbers, for when the old master was alive, he sent two brothers to infiltrate the bandits, and they relied on them to send us messages whenever they moved. According to the news they sent back, the stronghold of the gang of robbers is the inn in the town, the owner and the guys of the inn are all their eyes, the most hateful are these people, usually they collude with the robbers to oppress the people in the town, when there are guests passing by, they will find a way to leave the guests in their hotel, and then go to ventilate the news, if they are not for the tiger, the past business travelers will suffer a lot less, are we staying there tonight? Put them. . . Pantanvili gestured to cut his throat.

Neo understood that Pantanvili and Wauwards had hated the gang for a long time, and immediately replied, "Okay, everyone, work hard, and we will rest in Whitebark tonight." ”

"We'd better dress up," said Warwards, "and let them go and tell the news, and bring in a few more thieves, and let them do the tricks that scare the monkeys." ”

In the evening, the group entered the town of Whitebark Song, the north wind was howling, the only street in the town was empty, and the melting snow on the ground was covered with new snowflakes before it had dried out, and it looked muddy under the trampling of people.

The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were closed, with occasional hints of dusk peeking through the cracks in the wooden planks of the houses.

Neo and dozens of others moved a lot, but none of them came out to inquire and inspect, and the whole town seemed to be dead.

After walking for a while, there was a human voice in a house on the side of the road, and on the door of the house, a signboard swayed in the cold wind, and from time to time a few words on the signboard were revealed, woodpecker and pine cone inn.

Neo nodded, and Pantanvili and Heefeld stepped forward and pushed the door open. There was a commotion coming from inside the door, and compared to the dead silence outside, it was a different world entirely.

The door was pushed open, and the cold wind outside the door took the opportunity to rush in, interrupting the cacophony of noise. More than a dozen eyes shot out of the hotel and fell on Neo and his party.

Neo was full of faction, and Pantanvili and Hyferd pushed the door open and did not go in, and the two of them held the door on one side and waited for Neo to enter.

Neo took the lead and led the crowd inside. Whorwaters followed, shouting impatiently, "Finally a place to rest, boss, boss?" ”

Behind a dilapidated bar stood the innkeeper and a maid, there were more than a dozen tables in the inn, and there were a few people sitting around the table, some wine and food were placed on the table, and there were various weapons at the feet of those people.

A maid carried a plate through the table, and in the middle of the room hung a large candlestick, which was covered with the remnants of candle tears, and several candles were lit and glowed dimly.

The boss quickly walked out of the bar and said with a smile on his face, "It's a pleasure to serve you, what can I do?" ”

"What do you have here to eat and drink?" As he spoke, Wardwaters frowned, turned to Neo and said, "Young master, I'm afraid we won't be able to get anything decent from this place, so let's use what we brought ourselves." ”

Neo didn't answer, just raised his eyebrows at Warworth, who knowingly took out his money bag, took out a dozen silver coins and threw them on the bar: "These are enough, hurry up and clean up a few tables, clean up, and act quickly." Worwards commanded in a commanding voice.

Hodak and Kazak dressed up a little, wrapped themselves in a tattered cloth towel, and leaned up in a cloth towel to follow the crowd, like ordinary slaves.

Pantanvili and Hyferd instructed everyone to carry the box into the inn, and the whip in Pantankvili's hand flicked and landed on Kazak, who was carrying a wooden box: "Light, if you break the contents of the box, Lao Tzu will peel your skin." ”

Worwards also came over and shouted, "Be careful, these are valuable treasures, and if they are broken, they will kill you." ”

As he spoke, Wards opened a wooden box uneasily, and suddenly, a piece of treasure light shot out of the box, dazzling everyone in the store.

The innkeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in his heart, "Praise the goddess! Finally a big deal! ”

Without the innkeeper's orders, two of the drinkers stood up and walked out of the inn, apparently to report the news and call someone to go.

After a hasty dinner, Neo took Warwards and the others upstairs, leaving only the two Hodak brothers and a few men below
