The Blight Mountains are located on the east side of the royal capital.

The forest vegetation is luxuriant, and it is shrouded in a miasma that cannot be dispersed all year round.

In the past, it was called a natural hazard, and many explorers went deep into it, and there were no bones left.

"Don't go any further, it's going to be dangerous ahead!"

The heavily armed young guard shouted at the Iron Wolf Mercenaries walking down the main road.

Not far from the Plague Mountains, on the way, lies a small remote town of small size.

The whole town numbered no more than 400 people.

Some were soldiers and their families who were part of the royal capital, while others were residents who had been here for generations.

One of their duties in staying here is to be an outpost of the Plague Mountains, so that people can have a place to rest and rest in the face of [natural dangers].

Looking at this somewhat dilapidated town, Lune pursed his lips, he knew that this place was most likely a save point.

Maybe you can touch some props or do a side quest or something.

However, Lune is not in the mood for spending now.

After walking outside for so long, Lune misses the big house and sweet snacks in the palace a little, and it would be even better if he could lie in the air-conditioned room and drink some fat house happy water or something.

That's the good life that my young dragon wants!

Lu En was originally a dead house with no ambitions, and he was finally reincarnated in another world, and he was still a cute young dragon who could eat and wait for death, of course, he had to live every day.

He didn't want to save the world to push the main line of bitterness and hatred.

Isn't it fragrant to brush some favorability with the cute and loving Lori mother?

Lu also had only one thing in mind, the sooner he finished this limited task, he would be able to go back to sleep early.

As for what black and deep worldview, what kind of race wars and all kinds of conspiracies are whirlpooling......

Sorry, that's not familiar.

I'm really sorry for this mess.

What can I do, I'm just a cat dragon. Lie down.

The cat's task is only to eat, drink and be merry.

So the group went straight through the town and didn't prepare to stay.

"Yo, investigator little handsome guy, do you want to buy some magic items?"

However, how could some unscrupulous merchants on the side of the road who had finally waited for a few fat sheep let the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group go.

Their psychology is like that of the "local specialty" shops that are active in various attractions.

If it doesn't open for three years, it will open for three years.

Even if you pass by, you have to cut a handful of leeks.

No, Lune saw a scantily clad and bewitching woman stretching out her palm from the window of the potions shop, as if seducing or teasing, her voice was full of temptation, and she said, "The hundred-year-old shop is worthy of your trust." ”

Suddenly, a young girl carrying a basket blocked everyone's way.

She was pitiful and stretched out her dirty little hands.

A pair of big watery eyes blinked, just looking at the group.

The tone was a little aggrieved, and I was about to cry.

"Big brother, I haven't eaten for a few days, can you buy me some herbs? This is my grandfather's own fried herbs, which can dispel poisonous gases and keep me awake when poisoned. It's not expensive, one gram of herbs only costs ten silver coins. It's really not good, I'll give you a discount, and I'll ask for nine silver coins and twenty copper coins. Don't let my grandfather know. ”

The familiar words made Lune's eyes widen, and he exclaimed in his heart that he was invincible.

Has the tea seller opened a branch here?!

The little match girl is not so outrageous.

Before Rune could open his mouth to complain.

A mature woman with a scantily clad and a peaked witch's hat on the side took the initiative to expose the trick of the little tea girl.

She slapped the table and yelled, "Hemmer! You young old witch! This is the fat sheep I discovered first! I'm warning you! Don't come to my territory to spread wild! ”

"Yo, isn't this Medri, I haven't seen this in a few days. I'm dressed so coquettishly, and I got a few customers today. ”

was treated like this by her old rival, and the little girl no longer put on a pitiful appearance, she sarcastically said: "Why is there still a little girl today." Are you finally on that side? ”

The strange tone of the tone instantly infuriated Medley, and she smacked the table a few more times, saying that her peers were enemies, and this kind of face-tearing competition had happened many times.

"Old witch! I'm warning you! My clothes are the magic guide that the teacher gave me! It's not for people like you to watch! ”

"Yo, isn't it for people to see when they're dressed? I just looked at it, what's wrong. Do you still want to beat me? ”

"Well said, I'm going out and beating you up! You wait for me! ”

Seeing two ......

The quarrel between the two witches became more and more intense, and they were about to turn into a big fight.

The corners of Diana's mouth, who had already been regarded as a fat sheep, couldn't help but smile, and she wanted to persuade her, but fortunately, Lune was quick and directly blocked Diana's mouth with her little paws.

According to Rune's experience, you must not open your mouth now, or you will trigger a special side quest.

Just like Bao Omon, as long as you meet the NPCs, a fierce battle is inevitable.

And this kind of side quest has a high probability of less money and more things, and it is necessary to make a task decision on whether to open the toilet or not.

Unfortunately, Rune's claws were too small to be tightly blocked.

Diana can still make a lovely whine.

She tilted her head and made a muffled voice: "Kaga...... What's wrong......"

"Karma."

Rune shook his head slightly, gesturing with his body movements, ready for Diana to walk around and then slip away.

And Ace quickly understood and secretly gave a thumbs up to Lune.

Of course, he knows that now is not the time to eat melons, this kind of "simple people" town, if he is touched, he really can't explain it.

"Fat Sheep...... Wrong...... Big brother, why do you want to run ......"

As if noticing the small movements of the Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment, the witch known as Hemmer put on a weak and pitiful posture again, and she stepped forward and blocked Ace's way.

Seeing that the soft one is not good, Hemmer is about to come to the hard one.

And Ace was also neat, kneeling directly on the spot, with an embarrassed smile on his face and his hands folded.

"Eldest sister, please give us a way to live, we really don't have much money."

According to common sense, the investigator's commission is lucrative, and the expenses are also very large, such as the consumption of various magic materials and props to remove the cursed beast, the repair of equipment damage, the aftermath of the death and injury of companions, and even a part of the commission tax.

"It's really not possible, after we complete this commission, we will definitely come to offer you ......"

Ace is not a person who likes to use violence, even in the face of such forced buying and selling, he is willing to convince people with reason.

Tentative sex peek.

He also noticed that the Witch Helmer in front of him was also looking him up and down.

Hemmer's expression changed somewhat after seeing Ace's wings, Kitt's fox ears, and Rune's cute young dragon.

This combination is just too rare.

With such bells and whistles, it's either a rookie or a big guy.

Seeing that they looked so young, they didn't look like they were dressed like they were equipped with expensive magic guides.

Moreover, the two little girls are not yet adults......

It shouldn't be a novice team to come to the Blight Mountain Range to die?

The Blight Mountain Range is the top and one of the most difficult dungeons near the royal capital.

Usually the people who come here to carry out tasks are those large investigators who are powerful and financially prosperous, so these two witches began to compete for these hard-won big fat sheep.

Now it seems that this enthusiasm is going to be wasted.

The petite Witch Hemmer let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, forget it. I admit it this time, are you newcomers going to the Plague Mountain Range to prepare to die? When you come back, I'm afraid it's going to be the next life. ”

Kitt on the side suddenly remembered something, one of these two witches was selling magic props, and the other was selling herbs, both of which involved the processing of raw materials.

As locals, will they have dragon poison flowers and plants in their hands?

Therefore, Kitt directly explained his intentions.

"We're just going to collect the herbs. This big sister, do you have dragon poison flowers and plants in your hands? Or do you know where the Blighted Mountains would find this thing? ”

"Dragon Poison...... Flowers? ”

When Helmer and Metri on the side heard the words dragon poison flowers and plants, they were stunned at first, and then laughed uncontrollably, they held their stomachs and rolled back with laughter.

"Sure enough...... Sure enough, it's a group of budding newcomers who don't know anything...... Don't you know that dragon poison flowers and plants are extinct? ”

This kind of rare treasure belongs to the rare in the world, dragon poison flowers and plants are a highly poisonous thing, but also a kind of peculiar medicinal materials, with extremely wonderful functions, curing all diseases, and can even double the total amount of magic in an instant.

In the past, people were obsessed, and even though the Plagued Mountains were very dangerous, there were still people who came to explore them, and until more than ten years ago, dragon venom flowers and plants could no longer be found.

Later, the Holy Court Office directly canceled the commission related to the dragon poison flower and plant, and the dragon poison flower and plant became extinct, which is recognized information.

Now a group of little guys have come to the Blighted Mountains to look for dragon poison flowers and plants, this kind of thing is like the earthlings seeing the uninformative Martians, and they can only send merciless ridicule.

This topic is in the past.

"But ......"

What the two witches told made Kitt and Ace a little distracted, after all, this was different from the information they had, Kitt said immediately.

"Teacher Copperbeard said that it is impossible for dragon poison flowers and plants to be extinct, as long as certain conditions are met, dragon poison flowers and plants will regenerate sooner or later."

Kitt has a great admiration for the legendary blacksmith Copperbeard, so she prefers to trust her teacher rather than what the witch tells her.

"Not true. You guys...... Is it running for ......?"

Everyone didn't expect that Medley, who was full of body, suddenly had a daze in her eyes, and she was slightly stunned, as if she knew something unknown, her eyes gradually blurred, muttering to herself.

"Shut up the stupid woman with big breasts."

Hemmer, with a slight black line on his face, suddenly interrupted Medri's words.

Her eyes rolled, and in the end nothing happened.

Devil Girl Hemmer was smiling lightly.

"Then I can only wish you to come back alive."

The brief episode of the journey did not deceive everyone.

Lune only felt inexplicable.

He didn't understand why the attitudes of the two witches had changed so much.

Maybe the witches didn't really want to target them at first, everything happened in a coincidence, and it was also a chance encounter, until the dragon poison flower and grass ......

No, it was the further information that they captured.

Luan couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

It's just that Diana, who was holding the young dragon in her arms, began to turn around step by step, looking at the two witches, one tall and one short, bidding farewell to her, as if she was seeing off the undead.

"Old witch, do you think they really went for the brand?"

When the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group was out of sight, Medri, who was lying at the window of the store, took the initiative to break the silence, she looked at the grim face of the Hemmer Witch, and couldn't help but ask: "How did they know the whereabouts of the brand." ”

"If it's the Copperbeard Master......"

The mysterious age of the Witch Helmer touched her chest, and there was no other reason why her body had stopped growing, but that her heart had stopped beating.

Beneath the hollow ribs, there are mechanical engines that swell with vigorous magic.

"And who are they......

Medri's eyes closed slightly, and she suddenly raised her head again, remembering something else, and said to the happy enemy: "Whoever they are, the most important thing now is whether or not to report the situation to the teacher, and ask the teacher to decide." ”

The two witches suddenly heard a strong voice beside them.

"No, I already know what the situation is."

The two of them looked together, at the intersection of shadow and light on the horizon.

A tall, muscular figure was approaching the light.

It gives people an unimaginable sense of oppression.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of large white teeth.

"You two have worked really hard to guard the [Poison Brand] all these years."

Another exit in a remote town.

Several young and strong guards stood guard next to the intersection, and when they saw the arrival of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, they took the initiative to check the situation.

As is customary, they checked the identity documents of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, confirmed that they were investigators, and were ready to enter the Blighted Mountains to collect some medicinal herbs before letting them go.

"Be careful, there was movement in the Blighted Mountains last night."

Seeing that the young team was going to such a difficult dungeon, the guards kindly reminded them.

"I think it's better for you to buy insurance in advance and then go in."

Ace, who was in the lead, stopped and looked back at the young soldier in front of him, and he asked, "Did something happen?" ”

The soldier with pockmarked faces scratched his head, and he said, "I don't know what fell in the Blighted Mountains last night. Then a group of cursed beasts emerged out of nowhere, and they scrambled to flee. But I don't know why I suddenly ran back again. ”

The soldier also showed the wound on his buttocks, and he complained: "It's bad luck." I don't even know why those spelled beasts are running around. Although the strength was not strong, it was quickly wiped out. But it made me beat the captain for no reason. Said I was lazy to sleep while on the night shift. Where can I reason! Who would have thought that the cursed beast would turn back after running away! ”

The fact that his salary was deducted for no reason made the young guard a little resentful.

"Did you encounter a beast tide last night? Any clue? ”

“……”

Listening to what the unlucky guard said, Ace was silent, but his expression was a little tense.

He already knew what was going on.

Therefore, Ace had to pretend to be calm and skimmed his head.

"I ...... We...... I don't know......"
