The town of Cresta is indeed a sight to behold, and despite its name, it is actually larger than King Graeme's Town, but most of the buildings here are treehouses and holes dug under mounds, and half of the area is actually in the forest, so the first impression to outsiders is that it is a wild village.

Not far from the entrance to the town is the Mercenary Guild, the main building is a circular bunker-like hall, with horns at the back and a tall giant tree that is about the width and size of the bunker hall, and at least a hundred meters high, dozens of huts carved out of the tree holes are clearly visible from the branches of the branches and the canopy at the very top.

The streets near the mercenary guild are full of stalls selling bones, skins, fangs, horns, scales and other things from demonic beasts, and the more high-end elven jewelry shops and dwarven equipment shops are all deep in the town, near the forest.

Since it is known as a paradise for adventurers, there are also a lot of people who dress up and have strange shapes here, but compared to the guys who like to dress up cool in other urban mercenary gathering places, the adventurers in this place are almost all dressed as hunters, wearing leather armor, and the decorations are mainly animal hair and animal teeth.

Although there are a lot of people gathered here, the air here is very clean and the environment is very open because there are few high-rise buildings, even if there are some tall trees, and there is no noise and black smoke from the wrought metal.

Ivy was about to visit this lively but not noisy town when suddenly a cold air came from behind her.

The hand wrapped around the ribbon brushed her sideburns as easily as if she were brushing through her hair, and the tip of a long sword was firmly pinched by Ivy between her three fingers, and the blade that had already touched the skin of her neck could no longer be moved.

"It's no good for you to mess with Richard for a long time, your strength is so poor, and your style is still so arrogant? It's better to give up your mercenary status and honestly hide in the thick palace to give birth to a child for your regiment leader." Ivy smiled and turned her head to look at the attacker, sure enough, it was the longsword mercenary who had followed Richard three days ago.

"This, this can't be! It's just that I haven't seen you for three days, how can your martial arts have improved so much!" The female mercenary with the giant sword who was pressing the formation in the rear couldn't help but be surprised.

If the Giant Sword Girl is a fan of the authorities and doesn't see any changes in Ivy, then the Giant Sword Girl is a bystander, and she can clearly feel the difference between Ivy's aura and that of three days ago.

"Where is there any progress, three days ago, I had nowhere to vent my anger, and when I got into a fight, I naturally became wild and uninhibited, and now it is the stage where my vitality has not yet recovered, so even if I deal with you rookies who are protected by someone and forget the sinister world, you have to deal with it 100% seriously. ”

Ivy was calm on the surface, but secretly vigilant in her heart: "Why are these guys so uneducated, haven't they discussed a temporary reconciliation? ”

The swordswoman didn't pay attention to the incongruity of Ivy's expression, but she was stimulated by her previous words, and said angrily: "Who is the rookie? We were also famous adventurers before! It's that you and Captain Richard are too strong to talk to, right, the head of the group hasn't recovered his vitality since three days ago, and you have actually become stronger, you are even more like a monster than the leader!"

"Anyway, I'm also a Templar with the name of the Holy See of Light, and it's normal for me to be strong. As for you, even if you were powerful in the past, now you have undoubtedly been reduced to a vase! Look at the adventurers around you, all of them are wearing well-protected wallets, but it is a few of you ladies from the Aotian Mercenary Group, who are the little pants that were seen three days ago?"

Speaking arrogant words, Ivy quietly approached the second daughter, both of whom used long weapons, and the closer she was, the more she took the initiative, after her arms touched their lower backs and shoulders as if they were touching the lower backs and shoulders, Ivy was confident that these two guys would never be able to turn over any more flowers. ...,

Sure enough, the female swordsman who was stimulated by Ivy's words three times and twice held the hilt of the sword with both hands regardless of it, without any skill, and used all her brute force to spin the long sword that was not a divine weapon but was also abnormally sharp, according to the experience of the warrior, if Ivy didn't let go, she would lose five fingers.

But how could such a crude power technique be seen by Ivy? Her fingers pinching the blade didn't move at all, her elbow was a little on the side of the female swordsman's waist, and her left foot was on the side of the female swordsman's ankle, and the female swordsman who was hysterical with anger was suspended by her own strength, and at the same time, as soon as Ivy's fingers were released, the female swordsman spun in the air several times, and the wolf fell to the ground.

Although this small blow was not painful at all, the tears of humiliation and unwillingness of the female swordsman flowed down uncontrollably.

"Anyway, why did you attack me? The invincible Richard Commander had already agreed with me that he wouldn't owe each other after participating in the forging process? And he hasn't recovered his vitality yet? Could it be that he has been active too much at night?"

"Don't speak ill of the leader!, he hasn't touched him yet, but the head of the group is gentle and strong, and although he can be stupid sometimes, we just like him!" the swordswoman roared with a cry.

"Uh, that's quite a surprise to me. But I don't think I'm going to be able to save you stupid girls. Ivy pinched her chin: "Anyway, I came here today to ask the old man for benefits, and it was your regiment leader who begged me first! Now you two are drawing swords against me, what's the matter?"

Only then did the big sword girl say in a deep voice: "The regimental leader's injury has not healed until now, and it has a tendency to deteriorate, which was absolutely impossible before! Even if Anna sacrifices and casts divine arts, it has no effect, do you dare to say that you have not done anything?"

"Hmph, we had a real fire three days ago, and we both wanted each other's lives, hands and feet, as long as it was a trick that could be used, we would naturally greet him with all my might, how do I know which trick made him unable to reply?"

Ivy was naturally very happy and proud to hear the news, so she had no intention of taking responsibility at all.

"Whew, okay. The Great Sword Girl realized that her tone of voice was not quite right, and sure enough, she made the mistake of being unseen under the protection of the regimental commander, so she had to say honestly: "We can see that you and the regimental commander seem to have some misunderstandings, and you also seem to be from the Holy See, right? ”

"Well, that sounds like you're begging me?" Ivy kept tickling and scratching her hand on her bar, as if she had really grown a beard, with a treacherous face.

"This" The big sword girl subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it carefully, the truth seemed to be like this.

They all met Richard in the course of the adventure, a different man, so powerful, as if he could easily defeat any beast and evildoer, and was very gentle and graceful to any woman, although looking at more and more girls around him, a little awkward, but for some reason, everyone can get along harmoniously and happily when they mention Richard.

The only drawback of the head of the regiment is that he always likes to say silly things in the name of the "king", but he sometimes feels quite cute like that

In short, seeing Richard frowning and enduring the pain this time will make the sisters of the mercenary group feel sad from the bottom of their hearts, such a powerful man, a man who thinks he can block a wind and rain, also has a painful day?

Just as the big sword girl was struggling with all kinds of things, how to ask Ivy to take a look at Richard's injury, Ivy opened the way by herself: "Take me to see what that guy has become!"

"Hmm, you're saying you agreed to see Richard?" the Great Sword Girl couldn't believe her ears.

"yes, how could I miss such a relieving scene!"

"So, what conditions are you not proposing?"

"What conditions? Is there anything more pleasant in the world than watching a guy you hate suffer?"

Ivy's answer made the big sword girl speechless, if this were to be replaced by someone else, she would definitely make all kinds of unreasonable demands, why did this girl agree so straightforwardly?

When the big sword girl hesitated, Ivy urged again: "Hurry up, are you still going?" ”

"Well, good. The Great Sword Maiden agreed.

Although no matter how you look at it, it seems that this guy is so gloating to find Richard, who had just fought to the death three days ago, and stabbed him, but she had to take Ivy to meet Richard.

Because, their actions were decided after following the prophecy of the "Forest Fairy".

Although Richard has not been getting better since his injury, he will never care about this with his character.

But on the night of the second day, several people had a strange dream at the same time, and a mysterious voice in the strange dream said that if Richard's injuries were left alone, he would soon die, and the only one who could save the regiment leader was the girl who injured him!

The mysterious voice body has been hidden in the fog, and only at the end of the message, he mentions himself as a "forest goblin".

It's not credible for one person to have a strange dream, but it's strange for everyone to have this dream.

Moreover, Richard himself doesn't seem to have strange dreams, but he didn't believe these nonsense after hearing the female team members discuss it, and if he is as conceited as he is, he will definitely not believe in this kind of "my fate is up to me" thing.

The Great Sword Girl thought that Ivy would know something, so when the Sword Girl tested Ivy, she had been observing, but it seemed that this girl didn't know anything.

"What would you do if you met Richard? save him, kill him while he was weak, or really just laugh at him and stand by?"

"Well, it depends on the situation, if it's a minor injury, laugh at him severely! If it's really a serious injury, I'll take him as a real thing, and if he dies, he will be pulled, in case he is cured."

"How's it going?"

"Then you don't need to ask, of course you will accept him as a junior brother if you are cured, this guy is so dead-eyed, I told him that the king must know how to repay the favor, and he will definitely take the bait!"

The big sword girl almost fainted: "What kind of weird logic is this? And your plan is directly said in front of us? Aren't you afraid that we will make trouble?"

"What's the matter?" Ivy shrugged, "Didn't you all realize that you were dispensable to Richard and to me?"
