"These are also hunters and freelance mercenaries who hunt in the Black Forest?"

Leon and Caterina looked at each other and felt that things were starting to get interesting.

During the battle to suppress the hunters and freelance mercenaries in Brown Bear Town, it seems that some people were still stranded in the Black Forest and did not return. But after leaving Brown Bear Town, Li Ang experienced too many things and almost forgot about it, but he didn't expect to meet these people today in Sunshine Town, north of Brown Bear Town, close to the border.

From the old man's words, it can be heard that Leon did deter them with violent countermeasures, and even these people who did not participate in the riot were afraid of Campbell's new lord.

This is a good thing, it is estimated that after the free trade zone is officially established, the people who come and go here will also be somewhat restrained after hearing about the local lord's methods of suppressing the riots in Brown Bear Town, and it should be much easier for Eric to manage later.

In addition, it seems that these people returned to Brown Bear Town to see what happened, and then inquired about the cause of the incident, and then headed north in surprise, found another relatively suitable place, and then used it as a new base to hunt in the nearby Black Forest. However, with their current size, it would take quite a bit of effort to get the harvest out of Sunshine Town.

Li Ang thought about it for a while, and decided not to pay attention to these people for the time being, and not to tell about the free trade zone and his identity for the time being, because according to what he had just observed, among them, especially the group of people represented by the one-eyed man, did not really want to cultivate their self-cultivation because of what happened in Brown Bear Town, they were just shocked by the new lord's methods, and they had been suppressing their true character.

But look at it from another side. These people live a life of licking blood every day in order to obtain profits, risking death at any time, and frequently travel to and from the cold and terrifying Black Forest. Moreover, Leon was a "man of the past", and he understood that it was impossible to expect everyone to have the so-called "good character". As long as these people can use their intellect to suppress their desires, and as long as they will obey the rules laid down by the strong, then the young people don't mind giving them a chance to become the first hunters and free mercenaries to enter the trade zone.

So Leon had to wait until his companions arrived to decide whether these people were worth his trust.

At this time, the dispute at the wine table had been dispelled by the old man's words, and the atmosphere had become lighter, especially the one-eyed man seemed to have forgotten Joseph's sarcasm just now, and began to talk loudly about things in the Black Forest.

It seems that these three men are the strongest of the hunters and freelance mercenaries who have settled in Sunshine Town. That's why you can have an exclusive wine table, unlike other wine tables where seven or eight people are crowded together. Thinking of this, Leon suddenly became very interested in how Fiona could occupy an empty table, but now was not the time for small talk, he motioned for the shopkeeper to come over, then ordered a glass of ale, and then listened quietly to the description of Boris, the one-eyed man, clearly mixed with ostentation.

In Boris's words, the Black Forest is a terrifying place, especially in this part of the forest near Sunshine Town. Unlike Brown Bear Town, which has been "pioneered" by hunters and freelance mercenaries for several years, it is infested with powerful brown bears, wild boars the size of cattle and black panthers roaming the woods like ghosts.

Leon could hear that Boris portrayed these creatures as extremely dangerous, of course, to flatter his martial prowess. Sure enough, the one-eyed man laughed and talked about his last harvest - a whole ten bear skins, seven or eight wild boar fangs, and three complete panther carcasses. These would have to be at least nearly four thousand coins to convert, so Boris laughed as he stared at Fiona's side face. It seems that she hopes that this beautiful girl will be impressed by his great strength and abundant gains, and that a glance at him may make her heart flutter.

It's a pity. The young girl had been sitting quietly, rarely even raising the glass in front of her, and occasionally raising her head to look at the young man on the side, ignoring the movement at all.

Boris was a little angry, and then looked at the young man with an unkind gaze, but at this time Joseph next to him said: "No matter how much you gain, it will be in vain if the merchant can't come, if there is no merchant...... The delay is too long, and it will take at least half a month to come and go. ”

"And we didn't prepare, we didn't even have antiseptic things, if these things rotted in our hands, it would be a big loss!"

After saying that, Joseph sighed, and even the momentum of the one-eyed man was suffocated.

"These cowards!" Boris raised his glass and took a sip after a while, then put it down heavily and said, "When I was in Brown Bear Town, these merchants were proud every day, and it was said that they were so great that when something happened, it was like they had disappeared, and it was hard to find them!"

"Well, Mr. Cheney, do you think there is any hope for the merchant you can contact?" asked Joseph, looking up.

The old man nodded and said, "Although the people I sent over haven't come back yet, they should be fine, but they may be very careful, so it will take a little time." ”

"Cheney, we've been waiting for three or four days!" Boris added, "You must know that if we wait any longer, our methods will not be able to keep the prey fresh, and those merchants who drink blood will have a very low price for the bad quality prey, and it will be a lot of losses to delay it for one more day!"

"What's the solution?" said Cheney, "I'm not the same, and everyone here is the same." ”

They were silent for a long time, and then the little man Joseph suddenly said: "It's too hard to endure such a day, otherwise we will find an opportunity to meet the new lord of Campbell, first apologize to those guys for what they did in Brown Bear Town, and then give him a sum of money as compensation, maybe he can also acquiesce to us hunting in the Black Forest like the old lord." ”

"In this case, the merchants will dare to come back to receive our goods, won't it be the same as before?"

As he said this, Joseph's expression became more and more excited, as if he saw a bright future, but Cheney's words ruined his good mood.

"What if the new lord doesn't accept our apology at all, or accepts but no longer allows us to hunt?"

Joseph and Boris's faces darkened a little, and they had to admit that Cheney's words were very probable, and once the lord made this decision, even if they had strong personalities, they would not dare to stand up to the field lord of a kingdom, so they would have to leave Campbell in disgrace and go elsewhere.

But how can a place as rich as the Black Forest be found so easily, and even if it did, it would have been occupied by other hunters and mercenaries long ago, and would it still be its turn?

The old man Cheney said: "So, let's be so patient for the time being, I see that we have little of all kinds of supplies left, if the merchant has not arrived today, I will go to the Black Forest again, this time the target is mainly the easy-to-preserve parts of the medicinal herbs and beasts, and then leave Campbell to go outside to find someone to trade, and then come back after the supplies are complete." ”

"That's all there is to it," Joseph sighed.

Cheney thought for a moment and said, "This Black Forest is not as easy as it used to be, there are large black bears and rampaging wild boars and green leopards on the edge, and the numbers are even more terrifying if you go a little deeper, and our supplies are not sufficient, so I propose to centralize all the medicines this time, and assign their respective tasks to minimize casualties." ”

"Agreed!" Boris shook his fist, "two of my brothers have died, I don't want them all to lose their lives here, next time I come to take the lead, you just need to defend both sides!"

As they talked, they had a headache over the mighty beasts of the Black Forest, and Leon began to ponder as well.

Leon and most of his companions had experienced battles with demonized rotten wolves, and beasts such as large black bears that were equivalent to the middle and upper echelons of the second order could no longer make him feel troubled by numbers alone. If it weren't for the fear of Sophia's deterioration, perhaps he would have wanted to use this trip to the Black Forest to gain a lot of experience points.

After the young man obtained the inheritance of Colf at the Sage's Peak, he increased his strength to level 14, and after that, he went through several battles, and with the 100,000 experience given by important missions, he can now be promoted to more than half of level 16 again. And from level 17 onwards, the span of each level requires at least about 100,000 experience, and the difficulty of improving can be imagined, so he was happy to see the hunt, and he couldn't stop itching when he heard that there were a large number of powerful beasts.

The three of them talked for a long time, but in fact, their voices were very small, and there were other people's voices in the tavern talking, and it would have been a bit difficult to hear it clearly if it weren't for Leon's own good perception.

At this point, their conversation had shifted to Leon.

Boris couldn't help but be the first to speak: "You say...... What does this kid do?"

"What the hell?" said Joseph, "don't you just think about that chick? I tell you, you are always like this, and sooner or later you will bring bad luck to yourself!"

"You just do your own thing, wait until the next time you come out of the Black Forest and immediately go and convert the harvest into gold coins, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of chicks in any place, why bother to think like this in someone else's territory?"

Boris blushed, "Didn't I just ask, I know what you mean, I'll be patient......!" I don't know why, I just always think this kid is a little suspicious. ”

At this time, Cheney suddenly interjected: "Actually, Boris is right, and I feel the same way." ”

When he said this, the old man lowered his voice again, and although the three of them began to talk about Li Ang, none of them looked over, and it seemed that they had a lot of experience. (To be continued......)
