Navigating muddy swamps is not an easy task, especially with two people on his back, and he has to be as smooth as possible, which limits his speed.

After two hours of continuous travel, Leo felt that his mental strength had recovered a little, and the feeling of weakness was not as strong as before, so he jumped off his chest and back, and turned Chubby into a reindeer that could be easily moved.

Looking at the unchanged swamp in front of him, he asked, "Muraton, how long will it be before you can get out of the swamp?"

The dwarf stopped, gasped hard, and replied, "Two hours at most!"

"Okay, let's keep walking. Leo nodded, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

At this time, a faint moan came, and then the man lying on his chubby back coughed a few times and whispered, "I...... Where is this?"

Muraton hurriedly ran over and said in surprise: "Commander, you're awake!"

"Muradon ......" The man looked at the dwarven warrior, his blank eyes gradually became clearer, and he quickly remembered the previous qiē, and said with a smile: "I remember, I was frozen in the ice, it was you...... Did you get me out?"

Muraton pulled Leo over and said, "It's all up to this mage, Mr. Leo Minehir, without whom I would not have been able to rescue you." ”

At this point, Leo had shed his troll disguise and reverted to his human form, trying to still look as decent as possible.

The dragons despise a low-level creature, including elves and humans, but compared to goblins and gnolls, humans with a large population base and many strong people can still make the dragons have a little respect, which may be helpful for the next possible situation.

Hearing Muraton say this, the man seemed to use all his strength before he raised his head. When I saw Leo's face and dress, I couldn't help but be very surprised.

The young man in front of him was too young, he looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and although the cyan trench coat he was wearing had a strange shape, it was definitely a mage robe, and as for the badge on his chest, it was even more clear that this was a level 2 mage.

"Level 2 mage, can you actually save me from under the big lizard?" the man was curious about what was going on, but didn't ask. Instead, he said sincerely, "Thank you so much, Mr. Minahir. ”

"It's nothing, I just happened to it. Leo responded. In fact, this is also the case, if it weren't for the dragon's absence and the goblin leader being deceived by his own words, he would probably have given up on saving people at least eighty percent.

Leo said easily, but the man had his own code of conduct, shook his head and said, "You saved me after all, this life-saving grace." I will definitely do my best to repay the reward. ”

Seeing the man say this, Leo felt a slight warmth in his heart, although he didn't intend to ask for anything in return, but he risked a huge risk to save people. It would be chilling to not even get a thank you.

Moreover, this level 7 mercenary warrior who has been fighting all year round is not as vulgar as he imagined, but on the contrary, he is polite. Make people want to be close. Feeling the other party's deep gratitude, Leo smiled and said, "This ......"

Speaking of which, he realized that he didn't know the other party's name yet.

The man glanced at the dwarven warrior. I wondered why he didn't even tell Sùrio by his name, so he introduced himself: "My name is Bard Saltonis, you can call me Old Bard." Excuse me......"

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to be a little unbearable, and coughed violently, and only stopped for a while, which made Muraton tremble when he heard it.

After all, it was the first time they met, and the other party was much older than him, so of course Leo wouldn't be rude to call Old Bard. He took out a bottle of healing potion from his bosom and let the other party take it, and then he said, "Mr. Saltonis, you really don't have to worry too much. Due to the long period of freezing, you are now very weak, and although the damage to your physical functions is not strict, it will take a long time to recover, so it is best not to talk much. ”

After taking the healing potion, the man's face was obviously a little ruddy, and he nodded: "Okay, but anyway, please tell me what happened." ”

"Let's talk as we go, the situation is not good now, maybe at some point, the dragon will chase after you. Leo also felt the need to let the other party know clearly, after all, he was much more experienced than himself, and if the blue dragon did come, he might be able to help something.

The journey was restarted, and the story was quickly recounted.

Lying on his chubby back, Bard Saltonis sighed: "I am so lucky, Mr. Minethir, and I am amazed by your wisdom. I thought, if it were someone else, it would be difficult to rescue me so smoothly. ”

"You've won the prize, and Muraton has also made a big contribution to this. Leo replied modestly.

"Indeed, thanks to Muraton. And you, to put it mildly, you are only a level 2 mage, and your own strength is ...... Hehe, thank you so much for this. Bard Saltonis said sincerely, but at the same time he was worried in his heart.

Although he is not a paladin of the church, as a mercenary, he also values honor and adheres to the spirit of chivalry. Even if his life is saved by others, even if he can't repay it too much, all his property is used for the development of the mercenary group, and there is nothing good at hand that can be taken out.

Thinking of this, he decided to find out about the mercenary group first, so he asked the dwarven warrior, "Muraton, what about the others?"

"They ......," Muratton immediately hesitated.

"Is that really the case? Really...... Only at the critical moment can you see a person's true heart. Bard Saltonis said bitterly. It can be said that he has worked wholeheartedly for many years, so that this small team of only seven or eight people at the beginning has developed into an elite mercenary group with more than 30 people, complete logistics support, and far and wide.

Not long ago, for the sake of a huge reward and a resounding reputation, he finally decided to accept the "expulsion of the Blue Dragon", a dangerous task that many mercenary groups cannot complete.

And just when they found out that with the strength of the mercenary group, it was impossible to expel the Blue Dragon, Bard Saltonis stepped forward and attracted all the attention of the Blue Dragon, buying time for the others to escape.

But now, out of the twenty-two people attacked in this operation, only Muraton was trying to find a way to rescue him, which made him feel very disappointed.

Sensing the change in the regimental leader's feelings, Muraton's face turned red, and he said eagerly: "That's not the case! They all want to save you!"

Bard shook his head, after living for so many years, he had already seen too many conspiracies and betrayals, and compared to those, just not coming to his rescue was nothing. He touched a pendant attached to his chest again, but fortunately this thing had not been lost, which meant that the public property of the mercenary group would not be taken away, and might be able to be used to repay Leo.

was about to speak, but the sudden feeling of oppression made what he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

"It's over, it's still a step slower in the end......"

All three of them had the idea, and when they looked back, they saw a small blue dot flying at a rapid speed in the sky in the distance behind them.

In the main matter plane, dragons are the fastest creatures to fly, and there is no one.

After a short silence, Muraton suddenly roared and took off his shield from his back: "Leo, Commander!

The dwarf knew that if he hadn't moved the box himself, the dragon wouldn't have chased after him, so at the moment he was completely determined to die to make up for the stupid mistake he had made.

"That dragon doesn't count the strength of the body, just the mage level, it has already reached level 8. In front of it, even I only lasted half an hour, and finally I was frozen into ice, Muradon, you ......" Bard didn't finish, but the implication was obvious, maybe the dwarven warrior couldn't even withstand one of the opponent's claws, and he would be slapped into a meat patty.

He had already "died" once, and he didn't panic too much at this moment, but he was very sorry in his heart, so he said to Leo again: "Mr. Minerhil, I'm really sorry, you came to save me, but you want to take it yourself...... Stuck here. ”

Muraton's face was also sad, and he bowed to Leo and said, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I'm sorry!"

Leo sighed in his heart, but the matter had come to an end, and it would not help to blame anyone.

After stabilizing his mind, he said calmly: "Don't talk about this yet, you must act according to my instructions for a while, maybe there will be a chance!"

"Leo, are you serious? really has a chance?" the dwarven warrior's eyes lit up. After what happened during the previous rescue, he believed in Leo more and more, and as long as he could save Leo and the captain's life, even if he was asked to mine with the disgusting goblins, he would not say a word.

"How do we know if we don't try, are we just doing nothing, waiting for it to slaughter us?" Leo stared coldly at the blue shadow that had grown larger, slowly removed the spatial ring on his hand, threw it on the ground, and then pressed the dragon's wrath on it.

With a slight exertion, the razor-sharp magic sword can destroy the ring and render it completely ineffective.

Looking at Leo's strange behavior, Muraton wondered, "What are you going to do?"

Bard understood what Leo wanted to do, and his heart rekindled the desire for life, and said with a smile: "People say that only the smartest people can become mages, I didn't believe it before, but now that I see you, I can't help but believe it." ”

Leo didn't answer, muttering in his heart: "Are you smart? But no matter how smart you are, you will still look pale in the face of absolute power." (To be continued......)
