Drum Hill is a large city south of Tuminis, and as the residence of a duke, it has convenient transportation in all directions. The route from Liuton in the northwest is one of the most prosperous arteries, and the role of Gushan as a hub connecting the deep water and romance of the southeastern harbor is also due to the role of this road.

Mercenary Road is the common name given by travelers to the nearest avenue leading to Gushan City, because the road through the forest is wide and smooth, and there is a cool breeze blowing even in the hot summer, so it is most suitable for mercenaries and other characters who need to be fully armed......

In fact, mercenaries can often be seen here...... After all, in this world, humans are far from being the masters of nature, deadly magic, terrifying monsters are dangers that travelers must always be prepared to deal with, and the countryside, which is far from the main roads and cities, is more dangerous than the city people can imagine. Even a farm or farm just a day's walk from the city can run wild with monsters – it could be a year and a half, or ten or eight years.

So there are always lucky people who can rise from ordinary farmers to mercenaries in such encounters, and in order to gain wealth and fame, hundreds of "gold diggers" run every year to find opportunities where they may be able to make a name for themselves. Even if this kind of encounter is like a big wave sweeping sand, tearing the beautiful dreams of a large number of ignorant young people to pieces with their bodies, or poking a big hole.

Now, on the mercenary avenue, there are a group of mercenaries again.

Flourishing vegetation converges into sparse woods on both sides of the road, shade on both sides of the road. Birches and tall beeches grow in a staggered manner, the canopy of the trees shades the sky, so that the sun looms among the leaves of the forest near noon, and in the cool breeze, more than a dozen mercenaries are clustered around a four-person carriage is leisurely passing through this quiet beauty, passing through the scattered spots of light......

In fact, apart from the dozen or so heavily armed men around it, the carriage was not so conspicuous in appearance—the white-painted walls were smooth and flat, and the intricate lace that hung on the edges of the walls seemed to have just faded from fashion. The fur of the two horses pulling the cart was mixed. Only obedience and dexterity are desirable. The wheels crush against the gravel pavement, and the sound of horses' hooves harmonizes into a light rhythm, which is somewhat beautiful.

"Edward, shouldn't we hire a more luxurious carriage, if you want to put it all in the way?"

In the carriage, Miss Half-Elf reached out and peeled off an orange, stuffed a petal of orange flesh into her mouth, and then handed the rest to the opposite side, giggling: "You are now a royal history of His Majesty."

Edward took the fruit casually, but his gaze only lingered outside the car window.

Relative to the barren land of Xifengyi. It's obviously much more prosperous here, or the saying that water is the mother of life. It is common in all worlds, and the closer you are to the Radiant Sea, the more prosperous and powerful the human city-states will be. So

I didn't run into any trouble along the way. After all, it is rumored that the Riteg family, who rules this area, has a well-rated parent, and this Duke of Greenland's Riteger is extremely strict, and even in the most remote places in his territory, it is difficult to see a scene similar to that of a soldier and bandit family in Xifengyi.

——

"It's boring. Why care about these little bugs? Just crush them. Dahni interjected. Then he stretched out his arm and stretched out his waist:

Miss Drow did not disguise herself with Mithril chain mail and heavy priestly robes, but wore a women's dress cut from fine spider silk silk, light and close to the body. The lazy movements fully reveal the curvy body. Even if a silver mask was used to cover her face, it would not make that glamorous charm diminished in the slightest......

Especially the majestic and light trembling place, which is enough to attract the eyes of most men in the world, and it is difficult to leave.

But it's a bit of a pity that the men in this carriage are not included in the majority......

Edward's gaze lingered there for a moment. However, it didn't settle down, for him, the ** was already very familiar, and there was no need to pay too much attention to it......

As for Ferrant Hunter Ryan, who was sitting next to Edward......

His gaze only swept over the smooth fabric. The little fellow's face turned red as if it were burning, and he hung his head in a hurry, in fact, he could not have lowered his head, for not far away a pair of bright eyes were staring at his face with wide and vicious eyes, and the fierce gaze was enough to remind him of some unpleasant feeling.

"That, that...... Miss Lisa, I ...... I don't see anything......" After a pause, he secretly raised his gaze and defended in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

This move of not having three hundred taels of silver here naturally caused Zhuoer to giggle for a while. It also made the half-elf even more angry: "What an idiot...... Edward was right...... Big breasts and no brains!"

The half-elf costume was the same emerald green and white elf costume she wore when she first met Edward...... The long, ankle-length skirt with its delicately embroidered pattern sets off her as a very cute little lady - if it weren't for the fact that she is now puffing out her cheeks and eyes, it would not be too much to say that she is a delicate and cute little princess.

Well, or the word awkward is really right to describe her...... Not far away, the eye-catching satin-wrapped two balls swept over, and the young lady's sneer immediately rose a notch.

"Hey, rotten melon, can't you restrain your debauchery? Don't forget that this is not in Burgundy, people can see any flaws, we are all going to cause trouble, we don't just take you out and barbecue!"

"What's the matter, isn't it that we haven't reached a place where there are many people? I'm not you, and this little thing can't bother me. ”

Drow replied lazily, but his gaze was fixed on the scenery outside the window...... For a dark elf, a single qiē on the ground was enough to make her feel novel, especially the almost endless vegetation. There are also the ever-changing ecological forms that are active in the meantime. With the help of the smoky crystal on the mask, she could observe this qiē without hindrance, and the excitement made her completely ignore the verbal attack of the little opponent.

"What an idiot, I think you're going to die sooner or later from your pile of rotten meat. The other party's absent-mindedness will obviously make the little girl even more annoyed: "It's so conspicuous but you have to follow, I don't know what I'm thinking, I'm big and brainless!"

"There's nothing wrong with big breasts, although a woman's figure is not the most important, but I'm afraid no one wants a woman without a figure, haven't you thought about why Edward refuses to touch you until now?"

"Nonsense! Cherish feelings so you cherish them. Forget it, it's impossible for a drow like you to understand the difference anyway, they're all hooking up with each other like beasts, and if you get tired of it, you might be abandoned one day...... Poor rotten papaya. ”

"What are you talking about? Vicious little imp! Beware of me tearing your mouth apart!"

"I didn't even understand the lingua franca, but all the nutrients were absorbed by the pair of papayas? Oh, by the way, I forgot that I was talking to an old man over a hundred years old, and memory loss is normal, grandma?"

"Wouldn't it be nice for you two to be quiet for a while?" before the words became more aggressive. Edward intervened in the unnourishing argument and patted the red-faced little nobleman beside him. He found something for the two boring women: "Lisa, the people of the Purple Cloth Sect, there is no way to deal with the matter of Gushan City?"

"The brown cloaks of the Half-Blood Guild only have prestige, most of them are just a combination of merchants and ordinary squires, and they don't have strong power or influence, these people in your territory are already the limit of what my dad can mobilize. ”

Pouted. Miss Half-Elf made a 'count your luck' expression, and then explained boredly: "The current half-blood council's decisions are basically voted on by twelve elders, and the Brown Cloak faction only has two seats, so it is impossible to be a real help. And even if these so-called elders make a decision, they don't have much restraining effect on those mud-legged people, and they should be let go if it's a big deal...... Well, it's useless anyway. ”

"None of their elders have a collar?"

"They're so-called open. The old guys love this ......."

"Idiot. Edward commented in a crisp word.

This assessment is somewhat arbitrary. Clearly, though, there's nothing wrong with that...... Because sometimes, a bunch of smart people get together and do things that may be more idiotic than an idiot.

Let's say half-breeds.

And as a leader. This organization has more than a dozen upper echelons, and it has been like this for years, and everything has to be done by negotiation...... Power has not been centralized, it has not been dispersed, it has been in the hands of a limited number of people, and probably their attention is to ensure that the power is evenly matched, but the result of this is that nothing has been achieved for many years...... In fact, whether it is democracy or dictatorship, it is just a structure of the organization, but it is a very idiotic thing to let it interfere with the normal operation of the organization, and now the main purpose of this called the half-blood society has been torn apart, and the lower foundation is almost gone, and they are still competing for the so-called reputation of the upper class, which can only bring defeat-

"That's right, it's an idiot, just like this time, my dad was busy in Gushan City for a while, mobilizing these idiots to leave, but there were some people who stirred up unrest among them, propagating the idea that the homeland is difficult to move...... A few words made the guys take his money and didn't move...... They suspect that there is also an organization that has begun to form within the Half-Bloods, and that it is they who have been engaged in sabotage activities. ”

Miss Half-Elf gave a 'hero' expression.

"What kind of organization?"

"I don't know...... The better of the half-elves, almost all of the people who believe in your majesty have already arrived in your city, and the rest of the fellows, hum, smuggling, kidnapping, extortion, nesting, usury, gambling and robbery...... In fact, I have been persuading the old man in my family to give up on them, but he has never refused.

The gang is a place where people are mixed, and they don't pay attention to identity, but only pursue ability, which is suitable for the half-elves to be a more embarrassing place to live and settle down, so the thorny faction in the mixed blood club is engaged in similar things.

This time around, things might be a little troublesome.

After all, it is necessary to take a considerable number of people, for any lord. Population is an extremely important resource, it is impossible to take people away, after all, population is a tax, that is the foundation of the lords, if it is a sporadic migration of three heads and five hundred people, or the local can still turn a blind eye to the past. But this time was different.

20,000 people, not only half-elves, but also some humans related to half-elves, even if all of them are civilians, that is a fortune. But now there are still some merchants and craftsmen.

Edward does have the qualifications to be justified, he just used a communication crystal to get an edict signed by His Majesty the King from James, but in this era, the title of His Majesty the King is not necessarily so glorious, the order of the Son of Heaven, the world dare not obey, it is not only the feudal system can be done, at least add an extremely centralized ** form of government. There are still thousands of years to go before they can be imperceptibly entrenched.

For a deity, the believer is very important.

There is a simple analogy that believers are to gods what gold coins are to merchants.

The sheer number of gods seems to be due to the power structure of this universe, and as long as one has divinity, even a low-level being like a soft-bodied creature can become a god...... Although the chances are slim. But it's not zero. For example, in the dark regions. The ancient god of ooze monsters, Guannad,

But if a god wants to have power and perform miracles, he needs to have believers who believe in him and provide him with the power of faith. Countless years ago, many gods competed with each other for believers, especially those with overlapping jurisdictions, and the conflicts were fierce, large and small religious wars lasted for thousands of years, countless gods fell, and countless strong people, and the lucky ones gained divinity. Become a new deity and join in this protracted war.

This continued until the existing gods appeared, and it slowly came to an end—though only the gods left the plane and were no longer hands-on. But most of them never gave up on the struggle for believers.

Of course, he didn't trust this so-called Dark Lady, after all, although the gods had a humanoid side, they couldn't be considered human after all, and according to Edward's understanding, things with far more power than ordinary people were just monsters...... When they consider the level of things, they have long been free from the traps of ordinary people, and they are no longer bound by the so-called common sense.

He doesn't have to worry about those mortals now, anyway, except for the ** division, there is no one who can really threaten him, but the increase in the level of strength has not made the enemies fewer, but has made the more tricky Cunzi a new target to watch out for......

The power of a god, even if it is just a demigod, is enough to get rid of mortals, divine energy is the most powerful energy in this multiverse, even if the Blazing Sky Divine Servant is powerful, it is just one of the species on the Heavenly Mountain, compared with the real god, there must be a deficiency in strength,

With her help, things can obviously be made a little easier.

Of course, Edward would not rashly press a qiē on the promise of a god, after all, he had not heard the story of a god who made the devout followers bear the black cauldron, not to mention that he was still unsure whether the dark goddess was a god who belonged to the realm of order—the gods of this world were not high-minded, or their gods would restrain some of their actions, but it was difficult to guarantee it...... Drow's goddess, Rose, is a typical example of the negative.

Throughout the city, there is a kind of rough atmosphere without the slightest cultural temperament and subtlety. However, no one seems to care about those people, the endless flow of people and noisy streets, but instead shows a unique vitality that belongs directly to this place.

Just as Edward was observing the different scenery with great interest, the hustle and bustle around him suddenly changed.

Amid the sound of rolling hooves, a small group of knights galloped towards the convoy from the middle of the street ahead. Far away, a young knight shouted loudly: "Stop, Gushan City Guards, the city lord's order to inspect the convoy!"

The smell of arrogance in the shouting made the psychic warlock frown, his eyes flashed, and he noticed that the young knight in the lead was wearing a half-body steel armor with a slight blue color, this kind of delicate armor was second only to the full-body warrior steel armor and knight armor because of its defensive power, but the weight was greatly reduced, it was a medium-distance armor, and this guy's body, every piece of armor was extremely neat, shining with oil. It turned out to be an enchanted piece of equipment.

And the sky-blue undershirt under his armor was made of the finest gastrodia. A silk white shirt can be seen in the wide, high-rise neck guard, ironed to the core. He didn't look like a soldier, to the point of resembling a noble son......

Guild members are well-trained and skilled in covert operations, strategy, and judgment. They have excellent weapons and equipment, and those who need to use portals at work are usually part-time spellcasters, or at least trained with basic spellcasting abilities.
