"Your White Bear Mercenary Regiment has taken over this mission to explore the Black Moon Swamp?"

Without an immediate reply, the tavern master drank down a large glass of golden wine in front of him with a rich wheat aroma, deep wrinkles cascading on his chin and forehead, and raised his head to carefully examine the later adventure party.

The two armored warriors with broad shoulders and chests like giant bears did not follow the middle-aged mage in dark blue mage robes as usual, but guarded a tall man with a silver-gray longbow and a quiver of the same color on his back from left to right, and skillfully embroidered an eagle pattern flying through the clouds with blue-gold-black silk threadsBut whether it's the imperfection of the gems on the ring on the pin and thumb, the emerald green that can make anyone fall in love with it, or the small Mithril ring on the scarlet glove covered with slender gold threads, it is far from a luxury that mercenaries can easily access.

He had eyes of the same color as the jewels, which were matched with bright blonde hair, adding to the charm of his already handsome face.

The girl who followed the young man with her head bowed was much more modest in comparison, though she also had beautiful long platinum-blond hair, and her white robe was devoid of any embroidery, trimming, dark flowers, not to mention a button pendant made of precious stones or pearls, and even the staff in her hand was not carved, but a log branch with a tender green hue.

But the well-informed tavern owner's expression will only be more shocked, even if there are three layers of people between the tavern owner and the girl, you can clearly feel that whether it is a wooden staff or a white robe, there is a faint breath of life on it, when it enters the body, it is first cool and then it makes people feel warm from the bone marrow to the muscles, there is a subtle itch crawling by small insects, and the physical pain left by the swamp water vapor for many years is a faint sign of relief.

This is a pastor who is skilled in the field of life healing, and from the fact that the other party has not used divine magic, he has let himself feel this way, you can know the depth of this girl's understanding of the teachings, and the weight of the gods.

Putting aside other identities, if there is a team that is more solemnly treated than a magician, it is undoubtedly a priest like a girl.

With warriors in charge and guards, archers, magicians, and healing priests, such an adventurous squad can be described as perfect.

Hearing the tavern's question, the young man put down the short sword that was as white and shiny as frost and snow that he was playing, leaned over slightly, and nodded, "Dermon has often praised us in front of us that you were once an outstanding mercenary, and your knowledge of the Black Moon Swamp is unmatched, we need your help." ”

Obviously, corresponding to the strength of the bronze rank, Demon's position in this team is obviously at the lowest level, and the reason why these people bring dispensable should have something to do with the friendship between their father and son and the tavern owner, after all, in a terrain like a swamp, if there is no person who is familiar with the environment to guide him, even if his strength is high, it is easy to be in vain.

Seeing the young man speak, Demont interjected at the right time, "Young Master Susar is the second son of Lord Count Todd, and he was admitted to the Royal Academy at a young age, this time it is actually mainly because he wants to really test his strength before going to the imperial capital, and among the six people, only me and Master Marken are from our White Bear Mercenary Group." ”

This can roughly be explained, more than half of the production of the Black Moon Swamp has to pass through the city of El in the east of the Black Moon Swamp, the Todd family is a veteran nobleman who has been entrenched in the city for hundreds of years, and even the current consul is an uncle of the Susal in front of him, and the station of the White Bear Mercenary Group is in the city of El, so it is naturally indispensable to deal with the Todd family.

As for the other party's whim to experience the life of a mercenary, this kind of young man's whimsical approach is nothing in the eyes of the tavern owner, don't you see that there is another adventure team with a similar origin besides him.

Seeing that the tavern owner's gaze turned to Chen Fusheng and his party, Susal leaned forward slightly, and his eyes showed just the right amount of curiosity and inquiry.

As a true nobleman, he sensed the resemblance and strength of this squad to himself as soon as he entered.

When the tavern owner evaluated the strength of Chen Fusheng and his party, he subconsciously ranked Claudia first, this is because Chen Fusheng and Ao Li are used to reining in their own breath, although Susal was also the first to be attracted by Claudia at the beginning, but his strength is much stronger than that of the tavern owner, and he is keenly aware that the two Chen Fusheng who can't see through are the most powerful, but even if Claudia is obviously much weaker, Susal also feels as if he is facing an insurmountable mountain, which is because the other party's fighting spirit and will are strong and firm far beyond himself, so what is the strength of Chen Fusheng and the two, the silver peak, or the golden level？

However, the three of them looked like him in age, which made Susar, who had been accustomed to the title of genius since he was born, a little shocked and uncomfortable.

However, after all, he also grew up in an aristocratic family, and after quickly calculating the possible strength comparison between the two sides in his heart, he pondered for a moment, coughed subtly, and formally applied a noble etiquette that could not find any fault, a bright smile rose on his face, and he asked Chen Fusheng and his party about the origin and how to call it implicitly and enthusiastically.

His gaze was mainly directed towards Ao Li, after all, Ao Li's strength surpassed everyone, and the identity of the princess of the Dragon Palace made her naturally have a noble temperament, which was much better than Claudia and Vinika, the two real noble ladies, as long as she noticed it, she could no longer ignore it.

However, he is destined to be in vain, Ao Li's vision is extremely high, and only a person of the level of the most outstanding true disciple of the Dao Sect like Chen Fusheng is qualified to have a relationship with her, and Su Sa's level of being a guardian in the Dragon Palace is not in her eyes.

And Claudia, who had been arranging as the leader, had also taken two steps back intentionally or unintentionally since she saw the badge of the White Bear Mercenary Group on Demon's chest and let Chen Fusheng and the others out.

Because of the iron-eating beast badge and Claudia's reaction, Chen Fusheng, who was interested in taking the opportunity to investigate the origin of the White Bear Mercenary Group, naturally would not let Susal run into a wall for no reason, and just as he was about to speak, a person walked out from behind him, and also returned the salute, and said loudly: "I am Vito de Mena, they are my sister Vinica and companion Claudia Owen, like Susal you, we also plan to verify our strength before going to the imperial capital to study." ”

The arm swung over, and finally stopped in front of Chen Fusheng and the others, Vito's voice paused for a moment, and then sounded again, "These two are my mentors, the Bard Fusheng Chen and Miss Lie Ao. ”

After these days of cultivation, that demon seed has been deeply rooted in Vito's body, although it is impossible to detect the other party's thoughts all the time, but when the other party's mood is agitated, the general mood fluctuations still can't be hidden from Chen Fusheng, he only needs to think a little to guess Vito's psychological state at this time.

Although Vito is better than his peers, because he has a more outstanding Vinika, Vito is in a somewhat gloomy mood after accumulating over the years, when he meets Chen Fusheng and Ao Li, two gold-level powerhouses who look so young.

Before he could regain his confidence from the possibility that Chen Fusheng had elves and other immortal bloodlines, and his real age was much greater than his appearance, Claudia came to Nantes again.

As a knight, the fiancée, who had been betrothed since childhood, had left herself far behind and would probably never be able to catch up, and the blow of this reality was far more severe than Susar Todd had just felt.

In particular, he instinctively sensed that Claudia didn't really want to complete the engagement.

He didn't guess like Chen Fusheng that Claudia had awakened the memories of her past life, and although her appearance was still the same, her temperament had changed greatly.

Along the way, Chen Fusheng and Ao Li had no intention of interfering, he and Vinica had no experience, so they could only watch Claudia methodically arrange the forward plan, camp stationing, etc., and their mood became more and more uncomfortable.

When he got here, he jumped out of a Susar who was stronger than him and his family background was not the same, which made his emotions explode to some extent.

"Mena, is it Mena's house in Nantes?"

Although the straight-line distance between Nantes City and El City is not particularly far, only separated by a viscounty, but various factors such as geography, economy, politics and religion are divided into a clear boundary, and the Nantes City is divided into the coastal area, and the Mena family, which has been inherited for only four generations, belongs to the new aristocracy, and is not very in the eyes of the old nobles with a long history like the Todd family, so it can be said that the two sides basically have no contact, but the Mena family and the Owen family have a generational friendship, and the children of this generation even set the news of the marriage contract Susar still knows。

With a deep groan, Sussar's attention was so focused on the name Claudia Owen that he ignored Chen Fusheng and Ao Li mentioned later.

"I've heard a long time ago that the Owen family has produced a genius knight, is it you, miss?"

Susar's smile at this time was obviously much more enthusiastic and genuine than before, although the inheritance of the titles of the nobles of the Holy Alliance Empire also followed the primogeniture system, it was also flexible, and it was not impossible for the second son to become the head of the family.

In fact, because of the talent revealed early, Susal was one order higher than his brother in the family succession, but the position was not so secure.

This time, he didn't just come to verify his true strength, but intended to show his ability by solving the production of the Black Moon Swamp and restoring the normal trade of El City, and at the same time establish a personal close relationship with the White Bear Mercenary Group, which has a lot of influence in El City.

Meeting Claudia was also a great reward.

Because of the relationship between blood inheritance, the world is convinced of the claim that children can inherit their parents' qualifications, and Claudia's talent is not only in the Bay of Biscay, but also in the imperial capital, if you marry her as a wife, you will definitely be able to give birth to a good enough heir, which is very beneficial to Susar's status and even the entire Todd family.

Not to mention that the Owen family's income from wine is no less than that of a Earl family with a vast and rich fiefdom.

The marriage contract between Claudia and Vito is insignificant compared to the benefits that can be obtained.

"Interesting, this Susar's idea is much more complicated than Vito's, and his qualifications and family background behind him are also higher, so if there is a chance, he might as well plant a magic seed for him. ”

Chen Fusheng touched his chin and looked at the scene with a smile in his eyes.

Claudia's rich experience is only afraid that it will surpass Chen Fusheng, so she can naturally see Susar's thoughts, but she is not half interested in being with the characters in the plot, but only frowns, and asks in a deep voice: "We have already taken over this task from the mercenary union in Nantes City, are you planning to grab this task from us?"

"Nope. Susar waved his hand again and again, and explained with a smile: "The materials harvested in the Black Moon Swamp are mainly for the three surrounding cities, so these three places have issued this task to the mercenary union in the city, as long as it can be identified and solved, but the adventure group in Iron Flow City has already been lost in it, and the benefits and risks of this mission are not the same, and no one has been willing to take it after the news spread." ”

"Except for us. ”

Claudia said lightly.

"Not bad. Susar perked up and nodded: "However, with the strength of our two teams, even if we meet a gold-level character, we can fight, no matter what monsters are hidden under this swamp, we can directly suppress them, and everyone is not here for those bounties, so we can naturally join forces with confidence." ”

"It's not that easy. ”

Claudia doesn't know how many mission worlds she has experienced in the reincarnation space, and she has also carried out several teamwork tasks, of course, she will not be a rookie, and she questioned at the moment: "Everyone's occupation, rank, and combat habits are not understood, and they have not been run-in, and if they really start, I am afraid it will be a mess, if we join forces, which team will be the main team at that time, and the cooperation of the other team should be clearly stated in advance, and ......"

After a pause, Claudia said: "Even if everyone is not here for the bounty of the Mercenary Guild, but the Black Moon Swamp is vast and rich in magic materials, and if this is really a mess caused by people or some magical creature, even if there are any items that make us happy, it is not strange, it is better to make it clear in advance than to turn our faces at that time." ”
