In June, the average daytime temperature in the Soradin region can reach more than 40 degrees.

The cotton armor lining used with the plate armor was soaked with sweat all day and night at such temperatures, and although the version used by the duo was already cropped with a hem and sleeves, in order to cushion the attack, it was also a sinful act to wear a thick fabric of two or three centimeters thick cotton and linen in such temperatures.

Fortunately, the horses were present, and because of the unbearable smell of cotton nails, Henry and Mira removed them, washed them in a nearby creek, and left them to dry on horseback.

The strap-fastened plate armor was very loose when worn without a cotton armor lining, and without the cushioning lining, they could only scratch the sharp blade and could not remove the impact that would cause the fracture, so the two of them did not even wear this, and enjoyed the pleasure of being light.

-- They are now heading to the East.

The path that leads diagonally down to the coast from the city-state of the Koriconrad Kingdom in the Soradin Heights actually extends beyond the depth of the top of the Soradin Heights if you put it flat.

The wide roads carved out in the middle of the rainforest can accommodate two or three horse-drawn carriages walking side by side, and the roads are filled with inns and supply depots, as well as vendors and artisans.

Henry and Mira finally decide to go with Joshua and Amonica.

The destination of these two people is to go to the port to see the sea, and the cost of the road to achieve this goal is quite a considerable amount of money, but fortunately, the long road and the complexity of the process also provide the conditions for the existence of the mercenaries as an important foundation for their lives.

Where there are good people. Where there are people who work hard and work hard to make money, there are people who want to take their hard-earned wealth for nothing.

The long road is coupled with abundant vegetation on both sides. Although mercenaries pass by all year round, there are also many raiding gangs lurking nearby. They form cliques. There are even a lot of low-level mercenaries who have some collusion, and the port has the role of trade in addition to providing mercenaries for overseas expeditions, so when some caravans that have hired low-level mercenaries in order to save money come to the pre-set ambush location.

They were rightfully betrayed by the guards.

Every country has its own dark things, and a hundred people may be able to work together, but when that number becomes 1,000 people, they will have a division, and if it becomes 10,000 people, it can become a division, and if it becomes 10,000 people, 1 million people, when the population number reaches a very high level. It is destined that there will be a lot of troubles.

Corey Conrad, this country of mercenaries naturally also has its own army. Because most of the adult males in this country are engaged in war-related professions, not counting the equipment and the number of soldiers, in terms of individual soldier quality, Corey Conrad can actually be regarded as one of the best military powers in the Soladin region and even in the south of the entire west coast of Mobigas.

- Of course, it is not a big country, and even if the individual soldier is highly qualified, many people have experience in fighting as mercenaries, and when facing a regular army that is several times better equipped than their own. It will still fall behind.

That's why the country has always been engaged in overseas conquests without provoking its neighbors, and has been able to obtain money without leading to its own demise - to put it back to itself, Corey Conrad's army is made up of mercenaries of the older generation. However, even these veterans did not have the ability to completely eliminate the bandits in the vicinity.

Thousands of precautions, home thieves are difficult to prevent. Possess a low-level mercenary who is greedy for money as an eyeliner. As soon as Corey Conrad's soldiers dispatched, the bandits would get the news and flee early - although as a country of mercenaries, Corey Conrad was naturally given the task of encircling and suppressing these guys. However, as mentioned earlier, they will always get the news.

It is impossible to take the initiative to encircle and suppress. Even if they are killed, there will still be people who are greedy for money and become bandits in the future, so all that can be done is to passively help protect them.

The origin of the low-level mercenaries is unknown, except for the merchants who want to try their luck and save costs, the vast majority of people will still choose the rank above the blue card, or even the mercenaries who have already become famous.

Of course, this is not to say that these people will never betray for money, but the probability of betrayal is lower in comparison, because they do not value the small share of the thieves.

Hiding the secrets of their goods so that the other party has no way to judge the value so as not to see the intention of making money, this is also one of the methods of vigilance, the world is always complicated, and many considerations can be completely self-protecting.

Returning to the topic at hand, as we said earlier, the avenue is also flanked by shops and inns, and while they have the defensive advantage of a dwelling compared to a caravan that needs to be escorted all the time, it can be quite dangerous in some cases if it is under siege.

The season of storms is coming.

Even though it is already the southern end of the border, close to the interior, the vast expanse of the Mobigas Inland Sea can still bring violent storms.

The city-state of Corikonrad in the Soradin Heights had nothing to worry about, but the hotels and chambers that dotted the long slopes were plagued by the pouring rain and the winds that could uproot the trees.

After the wind and rain, there is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt.

In such weather conditions, the kingdom's patrols would never be able to arrive, and even the mercenaries would choose to camp in the hotel and wait for the storm to pass - and this is where the danger lies.

The closed environment, the hearts of people with different minds, and the stormy season are not a few bad guys who take advantage of this opportunity to make money, and for these shopkeepers, the biggest problem is that they don't know the fact that they are ordinary mercenaries and travelers, and those are bad people with bad intentions.

If you want to do business, then you can't turn people away. In addition, there is no main means of screening, so they are naturally in the country of mercenaries. chose to send a request to the Mercenary Guild to entrust the station.

The four of them took on such a task this time.

The pay for the quest isn't quite high, but it's not just this one quest on this long road.

Long southern coastline. Even beyond the low-lying Riedeira Wetlands, where the terrain is a little higher, a variety of large reptiles and dangerous predators of astonishing size remain.

With the arrival of summer, they are entering a fairly active period, so the human settlements near the forest have been given commissions to evict them.

And then there's a lot more to help reinforce the structure, to protect it, or where to go to help with the capture. All in all, as mercenaries of this level, the four of them did not have to worry about finding a job.

The rain began to fall tricklingly.

This was the first rain the two encountered since they arrived in the Soladin Heights.

They were temporarily stationed in a glade beside the long, gentle half-slope. It was a good thing that Henry and the others had horses, and Joshua had traveled all the way from town to country, and they didn't know much about what it took to rest in the wilderness, and it wasn't until they set up camp together that the sage and the white-haired Loan Maiden realized that they didn't even carry a tent.

Joshua and Amonica saluted very little, except for a cloak to protect them from the rain, and only a few spare clothes, towels, ropes, and soft leather kettles for food, utensils, and drinking water.

They didn't even have a tent, and Miss Luo'an asked a little, and the two of them didn't know how to set up a makeshift camp at all.

They know that they have abundant experience in ordinary life. Even on the way here, the two of them had several occasions of spending the night in the wild. However, the past is the past, and the present is the present, and the West Coast can be hit by violent storms at any time in June, and if no effective camp is established, clothing, food, and even books will be a mess.

Mira sighed. Joshua was quite good at swordsmanship, at least she had known Henry for so long, and he was the only one who was on par with Henry in terms of skill and reaction speed. Able to recruit people who lost to him in the end because of physical exhaustion.

However, he excelled in one aspect but was very poor in another, probably focusing too much on the study of swordsmanship. Joshua knew nothing about survival techniques in the wild, and he was rather clumsy in his work. Although there is a certain reason why the eyes cannot be seen clearly without strong light, it is more due to the lack of experience.

Mira looked at him as if she had seen her former self.

In a while, she had known Henry for a full year.

The white-haired girl of pure Luoan blood is only twelve years old, and she is almost one meter six or eight tall, although her body is still slender, she is already slim compared to before.

The long hours of training and travel and the experience of this period of time have gradually faded the girl's face from immaturity and timidity, and this confident temperament, coupled with more and more refined facial features, if you return to the border town where the two met, there is probably no one else who can recognize this as Mira except for her gray hair.

But compared to the change in appearance, the bigger level may be the change in her heart.

Before she met Joshua, before witnessing the fight between the young swordsman, who was probably only ten years older than Mira, and Henry, to be honest, there was some fluttering in her heart.

In Mira's eyes, Henry represents omniscience, and although she can't be sure of whether she is omnipotent, at least at the level of swordsmanship, she has never seen anyone who can match this man.

Therefore, as a student, although he is just starting out, after realizing that the knowledge he has learned is quite scarce, he will inevitably begin to feel that he can be regarded as a small character.

She hadn't lost the qualities of humility and constant effort, but she was still a child, and in Mira's mind, she couldn't match Henry, so there would certainly be no such person in this world—and the idea she held was shattered yesterday.

Knowledge is infinite.

I am still just a novice, and there are too many facts that have just been affirmed, and they will soon be overturned by others.

There are quite a few choices people make at such times, and most of them usually choose to try to belittle the other person to regain their self-confidence or something - but unlike our Loan girl, she just felt her eyes be broadened again, but in a moment she regained her old mindset and took it a step further, and began to think about how to become stronger.

In many cases, losers will find reasons to defend themselves: it is my conditions that are not as good as others, it is my luck that is not good enough, it is the weather, it is the temperature, it is this, it is that. They are always good at giving themselves 10 million reasons not to work hard, and even choose to back down before they start to act, but they don't know that those successes that seem unattainable to them are thrown off all these things at the beginning, and they are single-minded, just moving forward.

Many losers and successful people actually encounter no gap in the environment and material conditions at the beginning, and the only thing that determines whether they succeed is the attitude of coping.

Mira was a worrying child, and for this reason - after all, Henry and the tarp she carried to set up the tent did not have the size of four people plus a stove, but as we have been saying, there is no problem with the presence of a sage and a problem is really a problem.

The solution was so simple that anyone who had heard of it once could carry it out, Henry picked up a small pebble from the ground, then unfastened the strap in front of the waterproof cloak, wrapped the pebble around one of its corners, rolled it up to form a fixed point, and then encircled the horn with the hemp rope he carried with him, then stretched it, fastened it to the nearby tree trunk, and then completed several other treatments in turn.

Although the slope is gentle, it also has some sloping terrain, and the other end of the hemp rope at the two corners is also tied out of a trap, and then some branches are found nearby, and then inserted into the soil at an inward angle, to form a drooping windshield.

All of this was readily available, and it didn't take much time to do—Mira looked at it carefully, thinking. (To be continued.) )
