Giant insect world raises flying chickens

Chapter 55
The folk customs of Nodessas are tough, and the places close to the capital are mostly steep rocky cliffs, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Such an environment has created special military customs, both commercial and cultural are entangled with the military.

The closer the place is to the capital, the stronger the military power will be. On the contrary, there are very few soldiers stationed in the outer areas.

Huck rode an earth dragon and walked on the plains that belonged to the countryside of the empire.

After being separated from the people in Giant Wood City, Huck speeded up and escaped from those people.

Dilong stopped and went, and passed through several towns along the way, but they didn't stop.

After walking for two or three days, Huck came to the city under the stone, Baishi City.

Baishi City is close to the foot of a big mountain. The land here is suitable for farming. Because of the blessing of the church, the food production here is very high.

However, in terms of business, here is mainly through excavating mountain rocks to sell various high-quality stones for building castles and sculptures.

Huck put the earth dragon in a trusteeship outside the city. Almost every city has such a place, and basically the local lords are in charge of this business.

"Give it some fresh meat, or it'll lose its temper." Ira negotiated, though she couldn't say a few words.

The soldiers of the Beast Institute have seen many powerful monsters, but those who can control those monsters are all powerful mercenaries, and the combination of the woman and the monster in front of him surprised him very much.

There are two upward facing teeth growing in the mouth of the earth dragon, which cannot be covered by the lips. Because of these teeth, the earth dragon has looked at other creatures a little more in the past two days, and it will Saliva like strong acid gastric juice flowed out.

The violent earth dragon at this time is much uglier and more frightening than it was at the beginning.

"Don't worry, as long as you have enough money, there will be no problem."

The soldier quickly thought about the identity of this woman.

Huck was a little reluctant to rest in the city, but he had spent the night outside for a long time, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

After dealing perfunctorily with the soldiers at the outpost, Huck took Ira and Lily into the city together.

As long as they are not larger than humans, or ferocious monsters, they can usually enter the city with humans.

He paid the fee to enter the city, and ignored the boys and girls squatting at the gate of the city, as well as the men and women who were looking for jobs on both sides of the street or in the alleys.

Huck went to the mercenary union. Although he had a bad feeling towards the mercenaries, at least the place where the mercenary union was operating still had some rules.

Huck put on a loose cloak, and after the 1.1-meter figure was completely covered by the cloak and mask, he gave people a feeling of not being messed with.

In order to avoid trouble, Huck used this disguise.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people dressed like this among the mercenaries. Although it is rare, the mercenary union generally does not accept errands for hunting, and those are managed by the local security bureaus.

Yila put down her mask, "We are going to the eastern city, is there any mission to go there?"

The waiter at the counter was a male. After seeing Yila's appearance, he said formulaically: "There are many, but many of them have access requirements. I need to see your mercenary card."

Yila handed over her and Huck's identity cards. Both of their mercenary cards were universal documents ordered with a lot of money and could be used in a wide range.

The male waiter took a look at the mercenary cards of the two, which were D-rank and C-rank respectively.

The D-class can solve the tasks outside the town, and the C-class is the transportation and escort tasks between several cities.

"Are you accepting the investigation mission? There is a vegetable farm in the east. It was recently attacked by wild wolves. Now we are entrusting us to send people to clean up those wild wolves. The reward is twenty silver coins."

Ira looked at Huck, who nodded.

Soon Yila said: "Then let's take over this task and book another room by the way. We will leave before noon tomorrow."

"Okay." The man quickly went through the formalities for the two of them.

Huck and Ira went to check in at the hotel next door.

After a simple rest for the night, the two of them went to the nearby town to do the mission the next day.

Ira's strength is not weak, and the half-orcs themselves are more sensitive to the breath of monsters, so it is easy to find the coyotes' lair.

Under the suppression of the tonnage of the violent dragon, a large number of coyotes soon became everyone's lunch.

He took away the ten silver coins that the villagers could barely scrape together, and went back to receive five silver coins from the mercenary union, and the other five silver coins were the service fee of the mercenary union.

Huck soon left the city, he found that being a mercenary really doesn't make money.

If you do the task honestly, it is too difficult to make money.

If normal mercenaries wanted to kill those wild wolves, they would need a few silver coins just for the wear and tear of their weapons, as well as the bait and hard work.

Moreover, coyotes can also use magic, and their IQ is not low. If a low-level mercenary takes this kind of task, it is easy to suffer casualties.

One person is definitely not enough. If there are several people, one point is not much.

So generally there will be some invisible benefits at this time, such as taking some vegetables and food from the village, or staying overnight at the villagers' homes.

Huck continued to set off, heading east unswervingly.

At the city of water that Huck passed by, a seven-member mercenary team was checking for traces in the grass.

Checking in the grass was a pale and thin young man, and beside him was a slender and flexible velociraptor.

Archer Weir quickly looked at the man standing behind him.

"Ma Long, we went right, that earth dragon stayed here, and Huck and that woman!"

Malone was surrounded by three silent knights in silver armor.

These three are the knight leader Lalique of Strawberry City, and the two knight followers.

Archer Weir stood up and said solemnly: "At least there are traces from three or four days ago. They walked very decisively and didn't stay too much in any place."

Lalique got on his horse, "Keep chasing!"

Weier quickly added: "Master Lalique, I found that the aura of the earth dragon is getting stronger and stronger. I thought it was impossible before, but seeing the aura left here today, I think that ordinary earth dragon is being killed. After His Royal Highness Huck used it, the bloodline has changed."

"I suspect that the few of them are stronger than when they killed Kuiman!"

Vir is not sure about Huck's strength, but since he can kill Quaman, then dealing with Lalique...

Lalique looked at Weier with a blank expression, "Keep chasing, as a knight, I allow you to run away when the time comes, but you must lead me to find that boy before that! This is my mission, and yours." obligation!"

Ma Long nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will also cooperate with you to bring him back."

The mercenaries and knights quickly got on their horses and accelerated towards the east.

On the other hand, after Huck tested his general strength, he also speeded up and moved eastward.

He still has a lot of travel expenses on him, so he will not stop on this journey, and he will not enter the city again until all the money is spent.
