Chapter 9: The Strange Village's Commission

"Is this mission really as safe as you say?" Roth asked in an uneasy tone as he walked behind Thrando.

Serrando didn't stop or look back, but just spread his hands: "How can you take a task without a brand? But don't worry, I'm worth the price you pay! I'll tell you what you need to pay attention to to avoid accidents, listen carefully!"

Roth's journey to the status of an unbranded was unusually smooth with the help of Thrando, the mage β€” or, to be more accurate, the magician β€” had lived in Oscar City for five years, and was very familiar with the local guild and easy to get things done.

I hope this can help increase the credibility of my identity when I am found out by the top.

But Roth was still a little entangled, and after encountering Serando, the situation increased like a wild horse on the loose, which caught him a little off guard.

His real purpose is to use this false identity to become an adventurer without being suspected, for which he has come up with several reasons: for example, he owes too much money, and only a part of the reward for the adventure can be repaid, so he has to continue to work, or he shows his talent as an adventurer and simply changes careers.

But not only did Serrando lose him a lot of money, it also made his plan very difficult to implement.

So although I'm a little sorry for Thrando, Roth actually hopes that this commission will have some surprises.

With such an impure mind in mind, he listened carefully to what Serrando said.

"This time, the mission is to cooperate with the military in conducting reconnaissance. There was an unpurified village near the newly defeated Fallen City, and the military had sent two teams of men, but the filthy core of that village would be reborn no matter how many times it was destroyed, so they decided to let one team go back and report first, and the other team stayed there to observe. Guess what happened after that, brother?"

How do you tell the story...... Thinking so, Roth responded, "There are wise filthy beasts or fallen shadows hidden in the village, hidden when the army is outnumbered, and only when the army is small enough to appear and attack them?"

Thrando shook his finger: "Brother, you can't do this, pay attention to all the details when listening to information, otherwise you won't be able to become the top whether you are a businessman or an adventurer!"

"Isn't it just bad luck this time, can you please not keep hurting me?" said Roth.

"Look at it! You still think you're just unlucky this time, it's a very serious problem! I'm doing it for your own good, brother. Thrando stepped back and put his arm around Roth's shoulder, "I said at the beginning that this is a reconnaissance mission, and it is quite dangerous, if it were the situation you said, the content of the commission would not be the way it is now!"

β€œ...... Can you stop selling it?" Roth gave up, begging him to finish his sentence quickly.

"What happened after that was bizarre!" said Serando, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, "the group of five who stayed behind thought there was no danger, but after waiting for nearly a day or the other group still did not return, and when they realized that something was wrong, the whole village was surrounded by fog! When there were only two people left, Wu Chang resolutely relied on his fighting spirit to forcibly open a hole in the fog wall before finally sending the only survivor out, but he himself stayed inside. And when the survivor escaped, he found that there was no fog around the village at all, and it was still the same!"

Roth was horrified and asked, "Didn't you say that this mission is not that dangerous?"

"Oh, don't worry! Let me finish talking first! The only survivor in the group hurriedly ran back to the front-line camp, only to find that the team that had gone back to report had only just arrived! He originally thought that he had been trapped for at least two weeks, but who knew that it had only been a few hours!

"Done?"

"That's it. ”

"Does that show me where your confidence comes from?"

Thrando let go of Roth's shoulder and said, "The atmosphere has ruined you...... To put it simply, the village will only have a strange phenomenon if it stays too long, and if you leave as soon as possible, nothing will happen, and even if it is trapped by the fog, it is only to the extent that a military commander can break through by overdrawing himself, and if they gather five people to use the strength of the army formation to break through at the beginning, it may not be okay at all. ”

Roth thought for a while and asked, "But if you don't get a tiger in the tiger's den, if you want to find out the secrets of that village, you may have to risk your life!

As a result, Thrando began to comfort Roth, who looked uneasy, and said: "Don't worry about this, brother, you became a non-brand because of lack of money, and it is still different from those who have committed crimes, and I will definitely not let you try it first, right? ”

It's hard for me to cooperate with you like this. Roth was so by this guy that he didn't know what to do.

In the front-line camp, Wu Commander Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the ruins of the fallen city that had not completely dissipated.

Filth will extract the memories of the polluted world, using the past of various races against themselves.

This fallen city is said to have been originally the White Eagle Fortress, the frontier town of the Wicken Kingdom, built in a valley with a large number of mages stationed in it, as well as fortress-level magic cannons.

Luckily, the White Eagle Fortress was designed for some reason to be completely unprepared for attacks from within the country, and the fortress guns couldn't even turn more than 180 degrees.

Perhaps the historians of the Wicken clan could have studied a lot of articles on this point, but for the soldier Liu Yuan, he was just glad that Filthy had been rigorous in reconstructing historyβ€”if he had dropped this fortress one by one when it had been manifested, it would have been impossible to defeat it with the strength of Oscar City.

But this is not the reason for Liu Yuan's sigh.

Now that we have reached the border of the former Wickam Kingdom, when we encounter the Fallen City again, we will see a completely different scene, right?

I don't know when the day will come when he will reach the homeland of the Qin and Han dynasties, Liu Yuan doesn't know that the prosperity of those times that only appear in the picture scrolls and the stories of the elders, how much can this filth be reproduced?

But he won't be able to wait for that day.

"Master Wu, are you starting to worry about it again? I don't know, I still think you're the commander of the legion!" Liu Yuan's archer, Mylocke of the Elven Clan, saw his chief like this, and quipped, "I think you will definitely climb very fast in the future, and it is estimated that you will not be my commander in a long time." ”

Although he was ridiculed, Liu Yuan had nothing to do with the elf under his "men".

After the establishment of the United Kingdom, there were actually many elves who joined the army for the purpose of learning the methods of human training of the army, but he was the only one who was a small soldier for more than 100 years and still enjoyed it.

It's not that no one has tried to promote him, but a hundred years have passed, and even if he is asked to be a captain, he can't do well, which makes people suspect that he did it on purpose.

And he only listened to the orders of his immediate superior, that is, the military chief, as if he could only remember one commander at a time.

Other people, even if the Legion Commander is in person, even if he completely recognizes the other party as the Legion Leader, he can still completely ignore the other party's orders.

He was not happy to let him be a high-ranking officer's security officer, not because he liked the front line.

Of course, this person still has some skills, for example, he can make his bow and arrow spin in a circle and shoot through three low-level filthy beasts, and then claim that he did not use any extraordinary power, relying on pure skill.

"You don't understand the troubles of our short-lived species. Liu Yuan didn't bother to scruple anything when he talked to him, "The homeland of our Qin and Han people is in the far east, and I don't know how many hundred or even thousands of years it will take to fight back, and I don't even know where my hometown is now." Returning to my homeland is a responsibility that has been passed down from generation to generation, not an emotion. ”

"It can't be helped, sir, you were born and raised in the United Kingdom, and it is natural that you would think so. "But as you said, you don't understand my troubles, sir." I was about two hundred years old when I left my hometown to flee, just a child, and now it is said that the north is about to hit a former elven forest nearby, and the people of the same clan are excited one by one, but I actually have no memory at all, that feeling is so embarrassing. ”

"You don't have any memories of living in a place where you have lived for two hundred years......," Liu Yuan was speechless, "Then how old are you now? The United Kingdom has only been around for five hundred and forty years now, and how long is it that you elves are in their mouths?"

"I? I don't think I'm more than two thousand years old, right? It's been a mess, I can't remember any of these things. ”

Liu Yuan originally wanted to express some opinions on McLoen's outrageous view of time even by elven standards, but Li Kehuan, the sword player in his team, ran over at this time: "Captain Liu, the centurion just gave an order, saying that the task of that village needs to be led by our team!"

"Me!?" Liu Yuan was stunned, "What does this have to do with us? shouldn't we let the team that went there once before?"

"It is said that the priest team worked together to perform a prophecy spell, and the results did not seem to be good, and our team is the most likely to succeed. ”

"This is also okay......" Liu Yuan scratched his head when he heard it.

But Mylockne said, "Sir, you should be happy, this task is completed, and you will probably not have to be my chief soon!"

"How can there be such a good thing, at most it is to give our team a credit...... By the way, your fast standard is different from ours. Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and punched Mylocke, and then said to Li Kehuan, "Since the order has come down, there is no other way but to follow it, Kehuan, call the other two over, and I will go to see the centurion now." ”
