Dusk in the Forest of Whispers always seems to be exceptionally short. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

When the dark red glow of the setting sun disappeared in the treetops, the light seemed to dim all at once, and the pale blue of the zenith was swallowed up by the shadows of the trees in the forest, and the darkness was like a curtain around him, leaving only the orange sheen of the campfire shaking, leaving a vague and swaying hazy light and shadow in the forest.

The sound gradually died out with the dimming of the light, except for a few low insect chirpings and the noise of night owls, the surroundings suddenly became silent, the whispers of the mercenaries, the beeping and peeling sound in the campfire, all became faint and low, except for the occasional one or two sharp or low noises, which came from far away from the wind...... Like a howl, like the sound of the wind.

“...... Those things were pretty good today, and you were the first to find out, so why give them to those guys?"

He took a small sip of the liquor from the large wooden cup, and swallowed it for a moment before swallowing it in his throat, the shallow layer of wine in the glass made the dwarf sigh slightly, and then asked as if to distract himself.

"Not the best...... And, even if they do, they may not be able to bring it back alive. Poking the bonfire, Edward said:

Three days is enough time for a seasoned hunter to see what a companion is capable of, even if they don't look closely...... In Edward's opinion, the dwarf's strength seems to be okay, not weak in combat, and some of the race's natural recklessness, but it is not lacking in flexibility, and it is clearly a bit of an adventure - but for the Whispering Forest, this is just a requirement to get started.

The Whispering Forest's favorite bait is none other than those who think they are good.

Therefore, Edward does not mind giving a little advice to the other party as a senior...... After all, the opponent's abilities may come in handy later. Or even decide some life and death.

"There is an old saying among cave bears, the first thing you get is shit, and then you get money, but only what you can bring back alive is gold. ”

The young hunter looked at the people who were gathering around the fire: "The guys here are veterans, but the veterans are not the strongest group, and the reason why they are here is only because they have not entered deep enough before...... Just wandering around some medium places for a short time. The people who had actually moved hundreds of miles into the Whispering Forest were basically no longer here...... Or in the silver capital of Ronatti, or Fandina, Clara, or whatever, living the life of their dreams. Or, we'll find their bones soon, if they're just as lucky enough to keep them as the guys we met today. ”

The dwarf fell silent, and the sunlight that dissipated in the treetops seemed to take away the last of the temperature, and a small cold wind blowing in through the cracks in the trees made him involuntarily lean towards the campfire.

Retracting his gaze, the hunter's voice was still faint. "I don't know what the mage's true purpose is to have some precious veins, a powerful magical beast, but most likely, the ruins of an ancient elven city that is said to be hidden in the deepest part of the Whispering Forest...... Whatever it is, it's not something that can be easily grasped. After all, you should also understand their strength. Therefore, depending on the situation, there will probably only be one-third or one-quarter of the people who will be destined to return to Poplar Town in the end, and maybe even less...... And if I really guess it, then two or three of these people can save their lives, which is already a blessing from His Majesty Temorrah. ”

This is not alarmist...... In fact, every experienced mercenary here already has this kind of understanding in their hearts.

Still, there were some things that Edward didn't say.

There are so many legends about the Whispering Forest...... Although it has not been a hunting ground for adventurers for a long time, and it has only been a large-scale human presence for thirty or fifty years, there are countless legends lingering in it...... In addition to the elven ruins, there is also a famous rumor that somewhere in the deep forest, there is an evil cavern, bottomless, connected to another world—a dark area that is rumored to spread all over the underground of the entire world, far wider than the area of the continent.

But that's just the talk...... Even more untrustworthy than legend.

Even the most seasoned 'burrowing bears' can't confirm this...... There are a few guys who claim that they ran into Drow, but they usually don't have a few left, and they can't even tell what the other party looks like, of course, this is not strange and doesn't mean anything, hidden in the shadows, deadly ambushes are rumored to be Drow's best things, but stabbing in the back is something that human mercenaries are also good at.

"The remnants of pointy ears...... Interesting, they can't compare to us in things like blacksmithing, but when it comes to some gadgets, it seems that they can easily attract women, well, this time I'll see if God Kord can bless me with a few nice things. Used to seduce choppy. What is made with pointed ears is always more effective than our craft. ”

After staring at Edward's face for a short while, Baroque Night Rain suddenly snorted roughly, he raised the large wooden cup in his hand and drank it down, making the copper ring on his beard jingle with the movement: "It seems that it is a matter of luck...... However, I don't think there are many of these people who have better luck than me...... It's true. So, a glass to our beautiful lucky lady!"

So Edward raised the jerky in his hand.

The other party's answer made him a little embarrassed, obviously, the other party's understanding of life is not the same as his. But perhaps, the dwarves are the most standard mentality of mercenaries - they have already entrusted their lives to the impermanence of fate and shining gold coins, but deep down they consider themselves the luckiest ones...... Earn a big family business and return to your hometown, maybe finally find a beautiful and moving wife to spend the rest of your life with, a perfect life...... In this way, we can throw tomorrow under the skirt of Lady Luck and live every day happily.

"I have something to ask you. ”

A voice rang out beyond the glow of the campfire. Peaceful, but without a title, with a slight condescension.

Edward sighed slightly.

In fact, he already knew about someone's arrival before the other person even spoke...... After all, such a cumbersome sound of armor rubbing would never appear among those who should know the rules of the jungle. However, that doesn't mean that he wants to communicate with the other person.

He doesn't like trouble.

However, hunters don't have any remorse or fear for what happened before - most of the holy warriors are strict, rigid, law-abiding, and meticulous, but fortunately, because of this, as long as you don't do bad things, or do bad things and don't let them grasp the handle, then they will never be in any danger to you...... Strictly abiding by the law means that you must not do anything that is unfavorable to others, let alone a knife in the back, even if you have a thought in your heart that you will not be saved.

The laws of the paladins were forged by the gods and were stricter than any rules...... Once violated, they are immediately stripped of their power, and the power of the gods is also guaranteed by this qiē, and there is no such thing as a back door.

Twenty Platinum Coins is a lot, but it is never high enough for the other party to break the rules.

"Let me ask you, did you sell this weapon to this person?"

The voice continued unrelentingly, and the speaker entered Edward's line of sight from the edge of the campfire. One draws attention to the somewhat submissive warrior figure behind him.

"First of all, I have not violated any of the laws, and you are not a lord or a subject, and although I am obliged to cooperate with you, it seems that as a free citizen I do not need to be questioned by you. Fiddling with the bonfire in front of him, Edward raised his head after half a ring, and glanced at the righteous paladin: "If it is according to the general way of inquiry, then it seems that you should first give your name?"

"You!" the paladin's voice rose more than an octave, and even in an instant, he had already pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword!

"Eri...... Sir, it's not my hope, but you can call me that. However, after a slight pause, he finally just snorted coldly: "So now, can you 'ask' Your Excellency the Freeman to answer my question?"

"Oh...... It turned out to be a jazz lord, please forgive me for being rude. You can call me Edward. The boy put down the stick of fire in his hand and moved his serene gaze to his face, which seemed to be sharper and pale under the light of the fire: "All right, then Sir General." Although I still do not think that you are inquiring, out of respect for the King who gave you this title, I can answer your question. ”

The corners of the paladin's mouth twitched slightly, revealing the shadow of his helmet. The dark and thin country boy in front of him always seemed to have an equal indifference when he spoke...... But at some point, the anger in the heart of the feeling overflowed—for there was always a faint sneer in those eyes beneath that peaceful face.

Even in the face of a king, I am afraid his attitude will be the same - this ridiculous thought flashed through his mind for a moment. It also made him even more annoyed.

"This weapon, you sold it to this person for 60 gold coins earlier?"

"Yes. Excellency. ”

"When you're making a trade, you claim it's a magic weapon?"

"This is a weapon blessed by a strange god with mystical powers. Excellency. ”

"What a blessing. ”

"I don't know about magic. ”

"Then why do you claim it's a magic weapon?"

"I didn't say that, even this gentleman who bought weapons can testify. ”

Edward's gaze swept over the pale jaw, and Edward snickered quietly in his heart - the character of this Lord Paladin was really simple and cute. Or maybe it's because of this that he wants to play a prank. “...... Why don't you experience it for yourself? ”

The weapon was meant to match the warrior's immense strength, weighing at least thirty pounds or more, but in the hands of this seemingly untall paladin, it seemed to be no different from an ordinary longsword...... Even more fierce!

The vibration that tore through the air turned into a dull low roar! Although the blade was only swung in the air, the ground was sand flying for a while, and a shallow pit appeared!

After the first blow, another blow, then the third, then the fourth......

The dust stretched into the darkness, and not far away in a bush, a nest of frightened lizards squeaked and fled. The jungle that was alarmed by them scattered a series of noises, as if a piece of black shadow came to life, and the ghost roamed between the trees.

The paladin was silent, but the pursed corners of his mouth undoubtedly indicated his wavering. The huge weapon was cumbersome, but it could be swung faster and more violently than expected, like a moment of swing, and an invisible force was helping him. And when it was withdrawn, the weapon seemed to be much lighter again—magical, indeed...... No, it should be said that none of the existing magic has such a convenient effect.

There are no magic fluctuations that are determined by reading, whether it is the blade or the runes on the ornament, it is naturally just a bluffing decoration...... But where does this strange power come from?

Edward smiled.

The people of this world are too accustomed to pushing anything that doesn't make sense to be explained by magic...... In fact, if you think about it differently, the answer will naturally be simple - the heavy ring is wrapped in a lead block, and when you swing it, it turns forward, and the center of gravity moves forward to make the machete more powerful, and when you close the knife, the lead ring flips backwards, and it returns to the stable center of gravity like an ordinary machete...... The truth is always the simplest one, but after being confused by many things, it is difficult for both a warrior and a magician to get a suitable answer.

So from beginning to end, he used words such as "blessed by strange gods" and "mysterious powers" to promote his goods, but there was really no clear indication that the knife he sold had magical powers...... It was obviously a cunning hoax, but from a legal point of view, he was innocent.

But the next moment, the smile disappeared from his face.

The hunter turned his head and looked into the depths of the jungle, which looked dark in that direction. When the night wind blows, the treetops of every tree sway, making a rustling sound. It sounded like a giant black serpent hovering on a ridge, with scales erecting to mark the adventurers here that this was its territory—

But the voice seemed to fade away quickly.

The cacophony of the lizards fading away was gone, and even the little whisper of the night owl fell silent.

But quietness does not always mean normal, it may also be calm before the storm.

Edward's nose twitched slightly, and he narrowed his eyes and looked around. In the forest, there is a wisp of vague breath in the rich smell of grass and trees. It seemed to be bloody...... Sharp vigilance has taken hold in his heart.

This is a precursor to danger.

With a silent backhand, a large chunk of twigs and dirt next to him flipped up, crushing the bonfire in front of him with a thud.

"What are you doing?"

"Alert!"

The paladin snorted, and the sudden splash of muddy water and ash charcoal drew a large stain on his white robe!

He jumped away in exasperation, about to ask. only to find that the hunter had disappeared at some point. Leaving only a whispered warning.

The dark and thin boy had stood in the shadow of a bush at some point, and seemed to merge with the darkness, and if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Warrior was not far away, it would have been almost impossible to see his shadow. And the words that he said in his small voice had already caused the entire camp to stir up at this moment.

Slightly, the most senior group of mercenaries began to act quickly, they immediately grabbed the weapons they had at hand, and quietly woke up the 'bear cubs' around them, but the high and low conversations did not seem to be disturbed in any way, only the small fires around them began to gradually extinguish, until they were ready.

The paladin was stunned, and just as he was about to ask something, he noticed that not far away, a bow had opened in Edward's hand, and the arrows on the bowstring were facing his face!

In the next moment, with a buzzing sound, the arrow was already flying towards him!

——

It seems to use an extra word count to create a conflict...... That's not good, the next chapter accelerates.
