Straight Knife

In the wine in Kadu City, a group of chatters are chatting.

Since the Black Tigers also disappeared, the original small cluster of mercenary squads in Kadu City had a surprisingly good business, and almost all jobs were hired continuously, and everyone made a small fortune.

These mercenaries who had money came out of the trial swamp and immediately went to the only wine in the city for entertainment.The old ones talked about their heroic deeds in the past, while the young ones interrupted from time to time to praise them.It is inevitable to talk about the Black Tigers in the chat.

A big man said: "Recently, the business is really good, and they are all small-scale caravans. The time is nearly half faster than usual, but the commission is [-]% higher than usual. It seems that the Black Tiger Group has really made a lot of money! It’s really good that the members of the tiger group disappeared, it should have been given to us long ago.”

"It's true, my recent business is also good. If it continues like this, I will become a little rich man within a year, hahahaha! The road back and forth from the swamp is already familiar, and I can walk across it with my eyes closed. It’s really safe and profitable!”

A few people also jokingly said, "Once the Black Tigers come back, wouldn't our opportunity to make a fortune be gone?"

"As long as you are troublesome, why do you want to think about such uncomfortable things. I don't think the Black Tigers will be able to come back this time, otherwise it has been almost two months, and we have gone back and forth three or four times to protect several caravans. None of the Hutuan members showed up, so they should all be dead."

"It's probably the case. The Black Tigers are too arrogant. They have taken over the big businesses in the two cities and suppressed us small mercenary groups crazily on weekdays. It's best to just disappear like this and never reappear."

"Hehe, this time the Black Tigers provoked that wolf army because of that treasure. Hehe, the casualties must have been heavy. I have never seen anyone kill the people around that treasure so easily. The members of the Black Tigers are probably Hit the big stone slab."

"Look at what you said about that wolf army. Is it true? As far as I know, that wolf army seems to be only a second-level adventure team. How dare you touch people from the Black Tigers?"

"Don't believe me, tell me, where are the members of the Black Tiger Group now?"

"Maybe I found something good in the depths of the swamp, so I rushed in because of the large number of people, but I ran into a dragoon, so I disappeared, which is normal."

"Cut, nonsense, I have a brother over there, and he saw the head of the Black Tiger Regiment clamoring to kill everyone in the wolf army, and took everyone out."

"Then according to what you said, the members of the Black Tiger Regiment were wiped out by the Wolf Army? There were only a few of them, and there were only a few members of the Black Tiger Regiment. Think about it carefully, how is it possible?"

"But those boys from the wolf army are very powerful, and those two young ladies are really very powerful. I saw them when the people from the Black Tiger Group came to clean up the corpses."

"Maybe the people from the wolf army were killed, and none of them came back even if you didn't look at them?"

"Maybe they both died together, and neither side can come back."

"The boys from the wolf army didn't mess with you, why did you curse them?"

"It's not like I said, they are going to the Dragon Smelting Cave, what is that place, even if the members of the Black Tiger Regiment were killed by them, so what, if you run into a dragoon, you will die, your warning as a dragoon is Just kidding, I think they are also in danger."

"Why don't you want to order something good? I think those people in the Wolf Army must be fine."

"Then tell me, where are the wolf soldiers now?"

"Maybe they're resting, recovering from their injuries, maybe they're just hanging out."

"Do you think it's possible? The opponent is the Dragoons and the Black Tigers!"

As if agreeing with his partner's point of view, he nodded silently and said, "It's a pity, those young men."

The companion said: "It's over if you accept your fate. Even if you have the ability to reach the sky, it is estimated that your bones will survive now."

……

"Why don't you talk?" The one who asked the question urged the partner, but saw the partner staring straight at the door, as if stupid.

Stretching out his hand and shaking in front of his partner, he asked, "What's the matter? I saw something beautiful. Isn't it just that there are two beautiful girls? As for the eyes are all straight? Wake up, wake up."

The partner finally spoke, stammering: "They...they..."

The person on the opposite side finally became anxious, and shouted: "What happened to them?"

It took a long time for the partner to recover, and suddenly said: "They are back."

"Who are you back?" The big man was particularly puzzled.

"Wolf army, the people of the wolf army are back, look at that wolf, there are quite a few of them, they are back, my God!"

As soon as the big man turned his head, he saw the smiling Wang Feng leading a few people towards the counter.The expression was as usual, but Ruohan was carrying a large package behind him, which contained all the valuable things they had collected from the Black Tiger Group.

Everyone's eyes focused on the black longbow on Linda's back, and Qiqi gasped.People who often live here know this bow, which is the personal weapon of the deputy head of the Black Tiger Regiment.Now that the weapons are here, it means people...

The originally noisy wine turned into a lonely sound after Wang Feng and others came in.Even the elf proprietress didn't make any moves, until Wang Feng and others called her, and then rushed over with composure.After ordering a few glasses of wine, everyone drank slowly, and the people around began to whisper slowly.

The big man who spoke just now turned pale, and asked in a low voice: "Is it really them? Don't admit it. I just said something bad about them. Don't scare me like that."

"How could you admit your mistake? Look at that white wolf. I don't know if they heard what we said, so hurry up and slip away."

The two left the wine quietly, and soon after, the news that the wolf army had returned from the Dragon Refinement Cave spread to the whole city.

It took almost a month for Wang Feng and others to set off from Kadu to enter the Dragon Smelting Cave. In order to save people, they delayed for more than 30 days, and finally left from the headquarters of the Dragoons.

When leaving, Kulin handed over 30 reserve dragoons who had failed the trial to Wang Feng.

Although they don't know the depth of Wang Feng, at least Wang Feng saved their lives, and these people are still grateful to Wang Feng.Therefore, Wang Feng's orders were faithfully carried out, which saved Wang Feng a lot of trouble.

There were so many more people in the wolf army suddenly, and everyone was a little unaccustomed.After all, there are many people and many things.Fortunately, these people are well trained, nothing special trouble. .

These people all failed in the last step of the trial, so it should be said that they are all good players, but they are all a bit unlucky.But no matter where it is placed, it is definitely a strong force.

Now that he has a hidden enemy, Wang Feng doesn't want to expose all his strength to the world.Therefore, Wang Feng asked these reserve dragoons to station secretly at a location provided by Snow.There is a forest on the outskirts of the dwarves' residence, where monsters often appear on weekdays, so there are few people, and it is suitable for a small army like this to hide.

Wang Feng took the original team and Harlem back to Feidin City.

After leaving the swamp, we came to Kadu, and everyone went to the tavern to rest.It caused a sensation in the whole city.

Entering the depths of the trial swamp, eliminating the Black Tigers, finding the Dragon Cave, and returning safely from the dragoons without missing a single person, this is not something a second-tier team can do.

Smart merchants are already planning to hire wolf troops to protect their caravans tomorrow.But they are doomed to be disappointed.

After resting for a night in Kadu, considering Harlem's mood, everyone hurried on their way before dawn, leaving all the businessmen who were waiting for hope in vain.

The dragons of the dragoons are not for everyone to ride. Wang Feng once had the idea of ​​buying a horse, but it was rejected.The main reason is still not being able to buy horses.

Now all the horses in the empire are allocated by the army and nobles, and there are no horses for civilian use.

The brave mercenary group actually has a horse in their hands. It is estimated that Iger has something to do with the military, or some noble children.Horses can be acquired through official means.

Wang Feng was very puzzled. The military and the court controlled most of the supplies, horses, magic cores, etc. According to Snow Checker, most magicians had to serve in the army after reaching the intermediate level, and a few could serve in the court. and church service.The same is true of warriors.What is the reason why the military controls so many forces and materials.

No wonder the folks don't have any particularly powerful masters, and they have all been firmly grasped by the state.Now it seems that the empire is calm and there are no disputes, and the people pretend to live and work in peace and contentment. It is estimated that it is not so calm in fact. Under the calm surface is the turbulent waves of militarism.

Although everyone has been hurrying, but relying solely on walking, it will not be much faster.This time, he did not practice restraint on the road as usual, and Aisha's speed surprised Harlem.I never thought that a magician, who was still a woman, would have such good physical strength.

In order to take care of Harlem's emotions, everyone didn't care so much about eating and sleeping along the way, and finally Feidin City was far away.

Maybe it's because of the proximity to the hometown, but Harlem is a little afraid to go to the city.Wang Feng also understood his mood very well, so he didn't do anything special, and found a place for everyone to rest together.

Although Harlem has been in the ice for nearly 20 years, the years have not left any traces on him. People who don't know the details think he is a young man in his early twenties.It is estimated that his father would not dare to recognize it after seeing it.

During the break, Harlem was even more restless. Looking at his appearance, others couldn't laugh even if they wanted to. Wang Feng didn't know how to comfort him, so he just patted him on the shoulder lightly.

After a long time, Harlem finally behaved a little normal, and apologized to everyone very embarrassedly, and everyone looked at him with smiles.

Having made up my mind, we all went to the city together.

The city was still the same as when they left, and there was no major change.Very easily, a group of people found the place where the old man lived.Still the same dirty and messy.

It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun still illuminated the place very brightly.

Wang Feng and his party are so unique that people who come and go can't help but look at them more.Wang Feng had already seen it, and Harlem's father was also watching them from afar.

Call Harlem over, point him in the direction of Dad, and let him go by himself.

Harlem's father saw such a young son from a distance, and he was already trembling and didn't know what to say. Seeing this, Harlem hurried up, supported his father, and looked at him carefully. They looked at each other quietly.Tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Unable to bear the sight of their father and son getting together, Wang Feng spoke softly to several others, and took the lead to leave this place.When they entered the city, they had told Harlem where they were going to live, and now they rushed to the inn.

Perhaps the scene where the father and son met infected several other people, and Aisha remained silent.Chuck comforted him slowly.

Wang Feng hadn't felt family affection for a long time, and he also had some feelings, and said to them: "Aisha, Chuck, didn't you say that you should go home and have a look after this task is over, and you will leave tomorrow. Yes." The two nodded silently.

Go to the hotel to rest, overnight.

Early the next morning, Wang Feng took everyone to sit in the long-lost tavern.After a night's rest, everyone was in good spirits. Harlem hadn't come back yet, so everyone didn't go to look for him, and enjoyed ale slowly in the tavern.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a businessman came over and asked mysteriously, "Are you all from the Wolf Army?"

Everyone was puzzled, and Snow said, "That's right, what can I do for you?"

When the businessman heard this, an eager look immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "I heard that you have a second-level magic core in your hand. I wonder if it is convenient to transfer it to me? Guaranteed a fair price."

Snow asked, "How did you know we have a magic core?"

The businessman widened his eyes and said, "It has already spread in the city. Since you wiped out the greedy wolf last time, you have become famous. A few months ago, people from the brave mercenary group came back and took their hands. I transferred the task to your group, and said that you have eliminated the tyrannosaurus that the military rewarded and took away the magic core, so, I think..."

Wang Feng and the others glanced at each other. They didn't expect that Iger would actually give them the task. This person is not a good person, at least in some cases he can keep his word.

Wang Feng smiled suddenly, and said to the merchant: "You are so brave, you dare to take the magic core that the military offers as a reward, how many lives do you have?"

The businessman's complexion changed drastically, and he backed away again and again. While backing up, he said, "Forget it, I didn't say it." He turned his head and disappeared in a flash. .

Seeing the businessman fleeing from the wine in embarrassment, everyone burst into laughter.

After laughing, Wang Feng looked at everyone, everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, and said with a smile: "Idle is idle, let's get rid of our spoils first."

Ruohan took out the big package full of things from the room, and went out together to a special store to sell it.

The people here may have never had the concept of the Black Tigers, they only thought they were ordinary weapons business.Seeing a pile of weapons and armor, I thought they had wiped out some bandit group or something.

The people of the Black Tiger Group used really good things, and they got a lot of money very smoothly, almost ten thousand gold coins.When they came out, Ruohan's big burden was gone, but everyone's crystal card had a few thousand gold coins extra.Everyone is a little rich.

No wonder people with a little bit of force or magic all become adventurers, and sometimes the money comes too fast.

After disposing of the loot, Wang Feng and others came to the Adventurer's Guild to check the situation.

As soon as he entered the trade union, he was immediately greeted solemnly.

The last time everyone wiped out Greedy Wolf, everyone was indescribably grateful to the wolf army. This time they have the magic core that the military offered as a reward.

After asking, I learned that the military did not send a large force to eliminate the tyrannosaurus because of the rest of the army this time, but used the method of offering rewards to convene civilian forces to solve the problem.

However, the military didn't know that there was a second-level magic core. The magic core was added later as a mission requirement, and the people in the guild didn't know what was going on.

The only ones who know that they have the magic core in their hands are the Wolf Army itself and the brave mercenary group, so whoever raised this condition doesn't ask themselves.

Now it is more certain that Iger must have a deep relationship with the military.

In any case, the magic core probably won't be able to stay.Wang Feng didn't want to create unhappiness for himself and those in the military within the empire.Moreover, Wang Feng was originally from the army, so he understands the way the military sometimes does things.

She readily asked Aisha to take out the magic core.Aisha was a little reluctant at first, but seeing the look in the eyes of the boss, she was very aggrieved and handed it over to the guild members.

The reception staff of the guild had obviously never seen such a level of magic core, so they brought it over and stared at it for a long time before running to the back house.

After a while, the president of the Adventurer's Guild in Feiding City came out, first expressed his gratitude to the wolf army on behalf of the local government and the military, and ordered the staff to calculate the corresponding experience and level for this mission, and personally deposit the amount of the reward in the In Wang Feng's crystal card.

It seems that the military spent a lot of money this time, eliminating the tyrannosaurus and obtaining the magic core, and even offered a reward of [-] gold coins. The special reward is that each person who completes the task will be promoted to a higher level.In other words, Aisha who was originally level six can become level seven.

The strange thing is that only Aisha, Chuck, Linda and Ruohan have the special reward this time, but Wang Feng does not.When Wang Feng thought about it, he immediately knew that Iger was the one who did it. He only saw four people take action that day, so he used this method to slander Wang Feng.

For this adventurer's level, Wang Feng didn't take it seriously, level one and level one hundred didn't have any specific meaning at all to him.Therefore, Wang Feng didn't care about this special reward at all.

The most important thing is that my partners have all been promoted to a higher level because of this, which is an unexpected gain.Moreover, this matter, at least to ensure the safety of one party, is somewhat meaningful.There is no virtual benefit of this little.

An interesting phenomenon appeared. The wolf army has now been upgraded to a third-level adventurer team, but the leader is actually the lowest-level adventurer, which has never been seen in the history of the empire.

After leaving the guild, Wang Feng thought about his future itinerary.

Aisha and Chuck both have to go home, and they agreed with Snow to go back to their clan to meet the foundry master for a while, just to let him see if the polar cold iron can be forged.A team of dragoons is also stationed in the forest over there, um, that's it.

Tell everyone about your own thoughts, Aisha and Chuck have no objection, Ruohan immediately expressed that he would be with the boss, Linda also expressed that he would go and have a look with Wang Feng, and finally, Aisha and Wang Feng made an agreement, After the dwarves, go to Aisha and Chuck's house to find them.

Just do what you say, pack up your things and everyone will set off immediately.

Since the establishment of the Wolf Army, this was the first time that they acted separately. Everyone didn't know what kind of emotion it was. No one spoke when they broke up.

Send Aisha and Chuck away, Wang Feng took Snow, Ruohan and Linda found Harlem together, asked him to stay at home for a while and report to the place where the team assembled, and gave him some gold coins to let him After the old man settled down, they left Feidin City and walked slowly towards Snow's hometown.
