Arad's Sword

Chapter 72 Blood Blade Bandit Group
Soon, Odell thoroughly understood the ins and outs.

A brief summary of the whole process is that Midi was so strong in the process of being forced to save people that Irene was completely frightened, which led to a misunderstanding among Odell and his party who came to the rescue, and a big accident happened. A fight that shouldn't have happened.

Odell didn't have any doubts about Midi's explanation.

When the two were talking, Irene was by the side, and she explained a lot, her face flushed red, and she kept apologizing.

And more importantly, Odell and his party lost completely, and Midi not only did nothing while they were beaten unconscious, but dragged them all to a safe camp, and kept guarding them all the time.Doing so is enough to prove goodwill and sincerity.

Just as Midi expected at the beginning, sometimes, absolute strength is more convincing than explanations and concessions—because she has already been completely defeated, so she does not need to be on guard.Because the power disparity is too large, it is useless to be on guard, it is better to trust the other party completely.

Man is such a creature.

Accurately grasping this mentality, Midi gained the trust of the female leader of the Morning Star Mercenary Corps only through one meeting and one battle.

Moreover, he could also feel that Odell had obviously developed the idea of ​​cooperating with him.

That's right.

The adventures of these years, coupled with the position of the leader, made Odell immediately realize how valuable Midi is to the exploration of Gran's Forest and the Elven Kingdom—if such a strong person is willing to join For the Morning Star Mercenary Group, what would that look like?
As long as he is in charge, no one will dare to move the minds of the mercenary group. Situations like Irene's being intercepted and hunted down while collecting herbs will never happen.After entering Gran's Forest, it must be much easier to deal with monsters. Coupled with Odile's unique search skills, the inheritance of the Elf King's Court, perhaps it will be easy to get started!

This possibility made Odell, who had always been seasoned, very excited.

Besides, the young man in front of him is obviously a very principled person.

My group misunderstood him and launched an attack without saying a word. Looking back now, Odell is covered in cold sweat.

But what about this teenager?He was attacked, but he didn't kill him. Instead, he just stunned Odell and the others, and he patiently explained it, which shows the integrity of his character.

Noble character, high strength, such an adventurer is definitely worth making friends with the most honest attitude!

Thinking of this, without any hesitation, Odell immediately began to introduce the current situation to Midi in detail in an enthusiastic tone.

She answered all questions without reservation, and she even explained the situation of the Morning Star Mercenary Group for Midi.

The morning star captains who had just woken up were suddenly amazed.

You know, Odell, who is a half-elf, has outstanding looks. Although the Morning Star Mercenary Group is small, Odell's name is still well-known among adventurers, and there are many suitors, including Children of some noble families.

But Audrey rejected all suitors. Over the years, she has been focusing on building a team. The captains of the mercenary group know her sternness best.

But now?Be darling, the head of the group was actually by the side of that boy who was not really good-looking, actively looking for topics, and from time to time, he would let out bursts of light laughter because of Midi's words.

Is this still the Audrey who always rejects people emotionally?

Or is it that the group leader's taste actually likes young and ugly people?

This is really unusual!
However, the two parties obviously didn't realize that the surrounding eyes had misled them.

At this moment, Odell spoke carefully, and Midi listened even more seriously.

Adventurers are not nobles. They don't have high power, inexhaustible gold coins, mighty army, and loyal guards who can protect you from the sword. Everything depends on yourself.

Although Midi has conquered a small world in this life and is considered to be holding a heavy army, at this moment, even with the support of Fina and Alice, he still will not underestimate the enemy, because what he has What you are facing is not only the various dangers in the elf kingdom, but also the increasingly tense time.

Obtaining the inheritance of the Elven King's Court one day earlier can increase the chances of winning the upcoming civil war for yourself and the people around you by one point.

Every minute and every second is important to Midi, as long as the efficiency can be improved, he will not miss any detail.

Soon, Midi had a general understanding of the actions taken by the adventurers these days.

Assessing the strength of the mutated monster, establishing supply points, exploring the forest, opening up new areas, trying the effects of various props such as emerald leaves, etc., these basic tasks are roughly the same as Midi's deduction.

However, in Odell's narration, there was a familiar name that made Midi frowned slightly.

Blood Blade Mercenary Group.

The 30-member team that hunted down Irene before came from this mercenary group.

"Compared to the problems that may be encountered when exploring the elven kingdom, the most dangerous thing now is the blood blade mercenary group." Odell said, with a glint of haze in her eyes, she fondled Ai Lin's head, sighed, "If it wasn't for Mr. John, Irene would have been taken away by them. Losing an emerald leaf is the next best thing. I can't imagine it falling into the hands of those people. How will this child be treated?"

Irene gritted her teeth and complained: "Those villains took advantage of the large number of people and attacked lonely adventurers everywhere. They not only snatched the precious emerald leaves, but also wiped out many small mercenary groups, and arrested many people!"

"Originally, Tucker Town, located on the edge of Gran's Forest, was the supply location for everyone, but now that there is a Blood Blade base there, we can't enter the town at all, and we can only camp outside." Another Morning Star captain sighed Angrily joined the discussion.

"Is no one able to contain them?"

Listening to several people's complaints about the bloody atrocities, Midi's eyes turned cold, and then he asked calmly.

"Contain it? Who will contain it? A small mercenary group like us has no choice but to try not to be found by them, and they dare not even go to the town. The big mercenary group seems to have reached an agreement with Blood Blade, and the mutual As for the nobleman..." This beautiful half-elf showed a contemptuous and helpless smile, and his tone was also tinged with anger, "That Count Kafka probably doesn't care about it at all. The life and death of us adventurers?"

Midi shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

The conflict between adventurers and nobles is almost inevitable.

The former possess great power, but at the same time yearn for a free life, and hate being bound by the world, while the latter, while possessing great power, do their best to weaken those forces beyond their control.

It is natural for the two to dislike each other.

Compared to Odell's indignation at the nobles standing by, he was more concerned about the Blood Blade Mercenary Group.

Without even thinking about it, one can deduce that behind this mercenary group is the Bloodblade Bandit Group, the most notorious assassination organization hiding in the underground world of the Principality of Bel Mare.

Their tentacles spread all over the principality, and many nobles once hired them to do all kinds of shady things, from killing brothers in order to obtain titles, to making their old lovers disappear in dark alleys.

As long as you give enough gold coins, Blood Blade will do anything.

Even the heir of the famous Hamilton family, Fina Hamilton dared to assassinate.

Although the assassination last year ended in failure, it also proved from the side how crazy and reckless Blood Blade is.

In the previous life, Midi remembered very clearly that when the Delos Empire occupied the Principality of Bel Mare, the Blood Blade Bandit Group transformed into a secret service under the empire.The greatest contribution they have made is to find out many adventurers, nobles, or anyone who still has fighting spirit who want to resist the empire, and then send them to the guillotine.

This is a hawk dog through and through, and it is also an unscrupulous mad dog.

In this life, Midi believed that if he wanted to defend the interests of the Principality of Belmar, he would have to find out this mad dog sooner or later.

It's just that he didn't expect that this conflict with the blood blade would come so early, and it would happen in the realm of adventurers, not in the dark alleys of Hutton Mar's bustling capital.

With the madness of the Bloodblade Thieves, they came to Gran's Forest for only one purpose - the inheritance of the Elven Royal Court.

Is this the ambition of Blood Blade, or is it a foreshadowing set by the Delos Empire?

Even the reborn Midi couldn't deduce this point.

But one thing is certain, that is, the conflict between Midi and Blood Blade is inevitable, and there can only be one winner.

"Thanks to Ms. Odile's explanation, I have already understood the situation." Midi concluded in this way, looking at the half-elf on the opposite side, "In short, the fire has just happened not long ago, and the adventurers are still in the initial stage of exploration. At this stage, if we can seize the opportunity at this time, the chances of getting the inheritance of the royal court will be greatly increased. In this regard, I have a suggestion, Miss Odell, let’s cooperate to explore the inheritance together, and divide according to our respective contributions, how about it?"

This is a pretty standard co-op model.

However, "partnering", not "joining" Morningstar.

Disappointment flashed across Odell's eyes when she heard Midi's proposal.

However, this is also within her estimation.After all, a character like Midi is likely to have a deep background, and the possibility of being a lone ranger with no background is very low.

And even if you don't join Morningstar, Odell believes that the cooperation between the two parties will definitely bring about a win-win situation.

So, she sorted out her mood, and then stretched out her hand.

The hand of the unremarkable boy and the hand of the beautiful half-elf were held together. This is the ceremony of the adventurer's contract.
