Chapter 10 Extravagant Exchange

As soon as the deliberations were complete, Demon announced the decision to allow them to join.

The group of adventurers, consisting of turf, hooligans, and original horse thieves, immediately let out a piercing cheer. There were also many people who kept patting Murafa's ass, as if Demont would not have agreed without him.

Afterwards, Demont and Murafa discussed a number of specific matters. The Thunder Family's team will eventually enter the Death Tunnel, and the motley adventurers are clearly unwilling to take such a big risk, and they will follow them, mainly operating in the Grey Canyon to reap the rewards of their adventures.

In the course of the deliberations, the two sides determined their respective responsibilities and obligations.

The Thunder Family team is responsible for solving the entrance guards, destroying the necromantic barrier, and leading the ragtag adventurers into the core area of the Grey Canyon. The Miscellaneous Adventurer is responsible for clearing the surrounding low-level necromantic canyon creatures, conducting reconnaissance and searching the entire darkness, and providing intelligence for the Thunder Family team.

Neither Demont nor Murafa had an opinion on this, and they discussed it properly and soon set out on the road.

Unlike the black high-headed horses of the Thunder Family, the mounts of the miscellaneous soldiers and civilians are simply varied. Miscellaneous horses, camels, Gobi sheep, and even a short man riding a large hunting dog.

After a while, a team of more than fifty people activated, rolled up smoke and dust, and slaughtered towards the gray canyon.

Among them, the Thunder Squad naturally had to walk in the center, while the miscellaneous soldiers followed closely on the outer layer, for fear of being thrown away.

After more than ten minutes, it was estimated that he was about to reach the entrance of the canyon, and Leo looked back at the half-elf and slowed down his horse.

The two chatted casually for a few moments, and then the half-elf blinked and said, "I encountered an incident before, it was very interesting, do you want to hear about it?"

Leo knew that he was trying to get the attention of the man behind him, and immediately nodded, "Of course, it must be great for you to say that." Tell me about it. ”

The half-elf recounted: "The year before last, I went to the southern kingdom of Aguttes to do some business, just in time for a circus performance there. At that time, a handsome man took off his pants and put the thing in the lion's mouth. ”

"The lion bit that thing off him?" asked Leo curiously.

Of course not, the man did have some doorways and slammed the lion's head hard, but the lion just didn't dare to shut up, and the audience burst into applause. The half-elf smiled lewdly and continued, "Then." And he asked the audience if anyone would like to come up and try it, and guess what? Before the other men could raise their hands, a noble young woman stood up and said, "I do, but you are not allowed to hit me on the head." ”

"Hahahaha! That's what she said? It's so funny! Hahaha!" Leo laughed wildly.

"Of course it's true, I still remember the woman's husband's expression at that time. The half-elf replied in a loud voice.

The behavior of the two naturally attracted the attention of the miscellaneous army behind.

Leo peeked in and saw that the plan had worked. Then he said loudly: "Is there anything else interesting like this, tell me another one." ”

The half-elf pretended to groan, then showed an even more obscene smile and said, "There is just another one." ”

............

This kind of joke with a bit of color. It was simply the favorite of those people in the back, and for a moment the laughter quickly rippled, and at least a dozen people focused their attention on the two of them. On the other hand, Charlotte's face was flushed, and she wanted to plug her ears on. It really made Leo wonder if he was the one who lived in the Western Exile after all.

Seeing Leo leaning back and forth with a smile, the half-elf blinked. said: "Mr. Mars, I didn't expect you to like such jokes too. ”

Leo knew that the main play was coming, so he hurriedly cooperated and asked, "Why not?"

The half-elf hesitated for a moment and said, "I always thought that mages were old-fashioned people. ”

Hearing that Leo was a mage, the ears of the man behind him were erected even higher. In the Western Exile, mages are a rather rare profession, even rarer than clergy.

Leo laughed, "That's prejudice. We teachers pay the most attention to exercising our minds, in fact, many of us are very active, but sometimes we are obsessed with real yΓ n and number jΓΉ, so that others will be mistaken for old-fashioned. ”

"It seems that it was indeed my misunderstanding. The half-elf nodded, and then asked, "So what are you here for this time?"

This was the most crucial moment, Leo tried to make himself appear peaceful and natural, and replied, "Almost, I'm here mainly to collect some white mist grass, which is a very precious magic material. ”

"Oh, what does that look like, where can I find it?" asked the half-elf, "full of interest," and couldn't see any clue at all.

In fact, although the white mist grass is rare, it is not precious at all, and Leo believes that no one here should have heard of it, so he casually repeats nonsense: "It is a gray-white plant, it is easy to identify, and basically there are three plants at a time, and it is possible to find them in dark and damp places." But next to that thing, there will be zombies or skeletons, and there are no two or three people, so it's not easy to deal with. ”

The half-elf didn't know if what Leo said was true or not, so he just cooperated: "So that's the case, so if I find the White Mist Grass, will you buy it?"

Leo replied without hesitation: "Of course, there are as many as there are ten gold church gold coins for one plant. ”

As soon as the words fell, there were several gasps from behind. In an ordinary place, ten gold coins are enough for an ordinary family to live for a year, even in the western exile area, the price is high, but ten gold coins is still a lot of money, not to mention the gold church gold coins that are circulating all over the world, how can these people who want to come and pick up the bargain not be impressed.

And just as Leo and the Half-Elf continued to talk, two more men rode away on their mounts, apparently to consult with Murafa.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Murafa immediately fell into thought, stared at Leo carefully, and then whispered something to the two opponents.

The two men had longing smiles on their faces, nodded their heads, and quickly returned to the group, talking to different people.

Just a few minutes later, an exciting news spread, and everyone was wondering who they were going to form a team with, and the number of people should not be large. Otherwise, it is not easy to distribute things when they are found, and of course the number of people cannot be small, otherwise they will not be able to cope with the danger.

Three people, apparently an appropriate number.

............

After a few more kilometers to the west, the flat terrain suddenly changed.

In the thick gray mist, rolling hills came into view, but they were all bare, without any vegetation on them, and looked very desolate.

And at the forefront. In the middle of the two highest hills, the terrain is clearly sunken downward. Leo knew that it was the first stop of his destination, the entrance to the Grey Canyon.

At this time, due to the influence of fog, the visibility has been greatly reduced, but for those with good strength, it is not too much of a disturbance, such as Leo. The current line of sight is still capable of reaching a kilometer away.

But he also knew that this was only the outer edge of the canyon, and if he entered it, the environment would probably become more and more harsh. Not to mention how dangerous the death tunnels in the root cause can be.

At the same time, these fogs also contain a certain amount of negative energy, and they are in it. I don't feel anything for a short time, but after a long time, negative energy will enter the body along the pores of the skin. It makes people shiver from the inside out, and their thinking will slowly become stiff and confused.

Most of the people in the Thunder Family squad are fine, but in the miscellaneous army behind, there are already many people with pale faces, obviously unable to hold on.

Ahead, Demont scanned his surroundings and found no active undead creatures, then estimated the distance and chose a location that looked good.

Of course, he didn't care about the people behind him, and even hoped that these people would die as soon as possible, but he couldn't ignore the situation on his side, although no one showed discomfort at the moment, but after a long time, it was inevitable that there would be no problems, and he would have to enter the canyon next, and he had to adjust his state.

With this in mind, Demont stopped his horse and said to Murafa, "We're going to camp here and rest for a while, what about you?"

Murafa grinned and replied, "What a coincidence, I'm going to camp here too, so where did you choose?"

"Over there. Demon pointed to a slight bulge not far away. Although it is easy to be attacked from all sides, it has a wide line of sight, which is conducive to detecting the situation in advance, and the necromantic creatures are not armies and do not have so many scruples.

Murafa thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then we will camp opposite you." ”

Demont didn't say anything more, but accepted it. Those ragtags are of little use, but they can be used as a guard.

After a while, the two teams separated, and the team of the Thunder Family was the first to ascend the hill, and the motley army followed up the opposite hill.

This time, the difference between the regular army and the miscellaneous army was immediately revealed.

Each of the ten riders picked up their tools, the soil flew around, and in just a quarter of an hour, a small camp was built. Trenches, fences, and horse rejection are all available. And they also poured a layer of black oil in the ravine. As soon as this thing encounters a spark, it will burn into a fierce flame, forming a wall of fire that can effectively block the necromantic creatures.

In the interior of the camp, five tents were erected, and a deep pit was dug in the center of the tents for cooking on fires.

By the time the Thunder Family team had already drunk the hot soup, the ragtag army on the opposite hill hadn't even dug a trench, making noise and chaos.

Demont took a few bites of jerky and said, "Let's rest for an hour, try to recover your energy, and then we will enter the canyon, and I will tell you about the next arrangement." ”

Everyone listened quietly while eating, which was in stark contrast to the other side.

Demon continued, "According to the last detected news, the Corpse Witch has set up a necromantic barrier at the entrance of the canyon, and only undead creatures can enter and exit, so we must break the barrier first. ”

Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Leo. The reason is obvious, the enchantment has something to do with magic as soon as it is heard, so the person who can break the enchantment should naturally be a mage.

Leo, however, shook his head and didn't speak. Dermon hadn't talked about this before, so he definitely wouldn't have arranged for him to lift the enchantment.

Although they have not been together for a long time, Leo has discovered that Demont is a person who likes to plan carefully and implement it step by step, and it is impossible to sue SΓΉ on the fly. While it is true that there is a "dismantling of basic barriers" in mid-level magic, it will take at least a few days to learn it from scratch.

Sure enough, Demon looked at his sister and said, "Among Charlotte's bloodline spells, there is one that is specifically used for forbidden spells, with her current strength, with all her strength, she should be able to open a gap for us to enter the canyon." ”

Hearing her brother mention herself, the girl proudly straightened her well-developed chest, and squinted at her eyes, which seemed to mean that although you are a mage, this matter still depends on me.

Leo knew that she was a little girl, so he smiled, and didn't pay attention to it at all.

"After breaking the barrier and entering the canyon, we may encounter two skeleton guards. I looked up some information, but I didn't know it in detail, only that their joints were relative weaknesses. I wonder if anyone knows more about this creature?" asked Demon.

This time, everyone turned their attention to Leo again, and it was up to the mage to master such a thing. Someone like Tolman didn't even know a word, let alone a skeleton guard.

Leo really didn't know anything about the skeleton guards in Demont's mouth, or rather, he didn't know much about the entire necromantic system.

But of course, this kind of thing can't stop him.

Pulling a mirror from his bosom, Leo whispered something.

Seeing this scene, Iron Fist suddenly grew his mouth.

Demon immediately noticed it, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Mr. Iron Fist, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"I didn't ...... No ......" Iron Fist smiled wryly, but did not say the specific reason, because it was his and Leo's secret, and it was better not to let people know about it casually.

In fact, the reason why Iron Fist was surprised was because of Leo's extravagance.

For example, when it comes to the introduction of the Skeleton Guard, as long as it takes a little effort, you can always find it from books, but this guy actually directly uses valuable knowledge points to exchange huΓ n, which is simply something he would not absolutely dare to imagine and will not do.

"How many knowledge points did he get...... Iron Fist thought enviously, becoming more and more determined to establish a good relationship with Leo.

A few minutes later, Leo not only redeemed the knowledge about the skeleton guards, but also the knowledge of common necromantic creatures and corpse witches, and only spent a total of 5 knowledge points, which was a drop in the bucket for the points he had now, and it was not worth mentioning, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
