Chapter 15: Expanding the Mercenary Group
A few days later, Zoe and his party walked out of the Death Heights to the town, Zoe and they came to the mercenary union to take over the task, and took a look at only one more special, A-level mission, dozens of mid-level and upper-level blood leopards appeared on Lehman Mountain in the north, and the leader was a high-level lower-level blood-killing leopard, which would attack the passers-by of the merchants, and they urgently needed to be cleared, and the bounty was 1,000 gold coins!
Zoe looked at the many mercenaries in the guild, and it seemed that this town should be a key transportation point, but they didn't seem to dare to take this task, after all, it was too dangerous, and Zoe took this task directly
At this time, the mercenaries all cast strange eyes, and some people began to talk about it, saying that they seemed to be coming from the direction of the Death Heights, and their strength should be very strong!
"I heard from the people of the Temple of Light that when they escaped from the Death Heights, they saw a group of mercenaries walking towards the Demon Swamp, and I wonder if it was them?"
"It should be them, I heard that the son of the god king touched his nose in front of that very beautiful woman!"
"No, how could anyone refuse the invitation of the Son of the God King? He's the best Golden King in the whole continent!
Zoe didn't listen to the mercenaries' discussion and walked out the door, because she had already started to attract attention and didn't dare to stay there at all
After leaving the Mercenary Guild, it was getting late, and I planned to destroy the blood leopard tomorrow, so I had to go to the hotel and ask for a single room with a double bed to live in
After taking a shower, Zoe lay on the windowsill and looked at the pendant in her hand, with an affectionate and painful expression. At this time, Yelena had just returned to the room after buying the necessities for the trip, and when she saw Zoe's appearance, she was both heartbroken and overwhelmed, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke: "My heart hurts so much to see you like this, don't you know what I'm thinking?"
Zoe came back to her senses and said melancholy: "I know the truth, but I just can't forget 'her', although 'she' asked me to marry another girl before she died, but as long as I think of emotional things, I can't help but think of 'her' before she died, and I fall into deep self-blame."
"Although I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, I do know that 'she' definitely doesn't want to see you like this, she wants you to come out of the haze instead of blaming yourself!
"Of course I know the way, but I just can't do it" "As for your business, let's talk about it after I'm calmed down, okay?"
Elena had no choice but to walk away, and Zoe asked the fox demon, "Grandpa, what do you need to do to unlock the ability you said last time?"
The fox demon said suspiciously, "You want to unseal it, not yet, you must reach the highest level in this world, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it!"
"I'm just trying to know the way, tell me about it!" After the fox demon said the method, Zoe asked again, "Then is there any way to release you out of the demon knife?"
"Yes, but the caster has to be voluntary, and the caster will die, as long as he infuses his own life energy into the demon knife, but the caster will die within a day!"
"I know it, I don't have any problems, thank you grandfather, good night!"
After the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, Zoe also went to bed
——————————
The next morning, not long after leaving the town, Zoe and his party walked towards the north, and they didn't know how long they walked, and after walking a not short distance, Zoe smelled blood, it seemed that someone had been attacked, and followed the direction of the smell of blood, and after walking for a long time, he suddenly saw several corpses on the ground in front of him, and there was a group of blood leopards not far away surrounding nine fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people, seeing this, Zoe judged everything that happened here
The attribute of this group of blood leopards should be water, and each of them exudes a cold aura, and after Zoe understood it, he immediately issued a combat order, "Yelena, use the earth shield to protect those nine people and us!"
Although she didn't know what Zoe was going to do, Elena still listened to Zoe's words, and used the earth shield to cover everyone present, and Xiao Soft also released a mist, although the blood leopard found them, but they didn't pay attention to them, and continued to attack the teenagers who were surrounded
Zoe stretched out her hands and chanted the incantation in her mouth, "O great electric element in nature, please obey my call and lend me your powerful power, come on, fifth-level magic, chain lightning, the target is mist!"
The sky had turned gray, and then the lightning fell rapidly, and it was obviously too late for the blood leopard to dodge, because of the fog, the range was extremely wide, and even the blood killing leopard in the lower stage of the advanced level was scorched by the electric shock
It took a few minutes for the thunder and lightning to slowly disappear, not because Zoe had a strong electric magic ability, but because the fog had a strong ability to conduct electricity. When the thunder and lightning disappeared completely, Xiao Soft had already dissipated the mist, leaving dozens of charred corpses of blood leopards, which made Elena and the nine young men stunned
And the three little brothers don't care about the reaction of these people, they took the lead in digging up the Yuan Dan, and after distributing all the Yuan Dan in a centralized manner, the remaining Yuan ** of the last senior lower section was given to Zoe for him to decide, Zoe looked at it and didn't know how to choose it, and everyone agreed to hand over the Yuan Dan to Xiao Soft, and after Xiao Soft absorbed it, he directly broke through to the advanced lower section, Zoe smiled and said, "Xiao Soft has finally broken through, congratulations, you have to come on!" The last sentence was said to White Fang and Little Gray Ash
Zoe walked up to the nine youths who were a little younger than him and asked, "Why are you here?"
A person who looked like a representative said, "We are the families of merchants in the past, but because we met the blood leopard, there are only a few of us left," and after saying that, everyone's face was full of sadness
Zoe thought for a while and said to them, "That's it, are you interested in joining my mercenary group, I also happen to be short of manpower, and you don't seem to have any martial arts foundation, I can train you!"
The leading representative was full of gratitude, and said, "Yes, of course we do, but we don't have mercenary cards," and frowned
Zoe said, "It's okay, we also have to go back to hand in the mission, let's go together, and join the mercenary group by the way"
The leader suddenly thought, "Then what is the name of our mercenary group?"
Zoe smiled bitterly and said, "I've just applied for it a short time, and I can only apply for the name of the mercenary group after the completion of this mission!" Because the mercenary group wants to reduce too many unnecessary names, it is limited to completing a certain level of tasks before taking names
Only then did Yelena come back to her senses and ask, "Why is your electric magic so powerful?"
Zoe explained, "It's not that my electric magic is strong, but that I rely on the conductive ability of water vapor to conduct electric magic, and the earth shield that I asked you to use is to isolate the fog to prevent electricity from reaching your own people!"
Zoe turned her head and asked, "What's your name?"
The leader started with himself and said, "My name is Birmingham, and his name is Binghe," Birmingham said, pointing to a cold-faced man, who is really as good as his name;"His name is Tegel!" Birmingham pointed to a tall, burly man who looked a little dumb, "His name is Rah," Birmingham pointed to a man with a smile on his face, "His name is Joaquin," Birmingham said to an honest man, "His name is Usopp," Birmingham said to a man who looked indifferent, "His name is Ishda" Birmingham pointed to a kind and kind man, "His name is Jarvis," Birmingham said to a weak-looking man, "His name is Burton," Birmingham said to a nerd-looking man, "and at the end his name is Charles!" Birmingham said to a shrewd and capable man. Zoe saw that there was suddenly one more person here, and when he was besieged just now, this Charles seemed to be hiding in the bushes next to him, no wonder he found nine people just now
Zoe took note of the men and said, "Then let's go back to town!"
After returning to the town, Zoe asked a villager, "You killed all the blood leopards, so fast, how could it be!"
Ignoring their eyes, he walked directly to the Mercenary Guild and said to the counter lady, "The mission is complete!"
"Wait a minute, I'll get you a bounty!" he walked in. A few minutes later, he walked out, took out a bag of gold coins, handed it to Zoe, and asked, "Do you need to change the name of the mercenary group?"
Zoe said happily, "Okay, we're going to take the name of the Shadow Warrior Mercenary Regiment!"
The counter lady asked with a puzzled face, "What a strange name?" and then filled in the information, and also added those ten people to the Shadow Martial Mercenary Group
After coming out of the mercenary group, Zoe said to Birmingham and the other ten people, "From now on, let's go back to the mountain just now, and train you there!" After speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the town
As they walked, Birmingham and his party began their discussion, Charles said, "Are we really going to follow them????
Isda said, "Don't guess, they haven't done anything, what are you guessing here?" Rahe said, "Yes, yes, let's just follow, what do you want to do so much! We have no room to fight back, they don't need to lie to us!"
Zoe listened to their conversation, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Why do you still think of me as a liar?"
And Elena quietly followed behind Zoe, her eyes full of tenderness, completely oblivious to the talk around her
After a long time, the group arrived at the place where the blood leopard had just been killed, Zoe said, "Before training, we need to clean up this place first, and then build a house here to live in, there should be no problem here in the deep mountains, no one will come here, okay, let's start doing it!" After speaking, he used water magic to start cleaning up the corpses here, so as to avoid the infection of diseased bacteria
And the ten of them also began to prepare, although it was slow, but the number was still able to fill the speed
Yelena, on the other hand, set about preparing the food
