During this period, Ruian didn't speak, but just watched silently. Several mercenaries had similar reactions to Ruian. Obviously, not only Ruian, but also others felt that the members of the Tiger Mercenary Group had bad intentions.
Ruian felt that the people in the Tiger Mercenary Group must have other purposes. First of all, the more than twenty mercenaries hired by the Tiger Mercenary Group were all level 3 and 4 swordsmen, and none were above level 5 swordsmen. Of course.
, excluding those who have hidden strength among the more than twenty mercenaries, such as Ruian, who just showed his strength as a level 3 swordsman.
As for the Tiger mercenary group, there must be people above level 5 swordsmen, and there is probably more than one. Judging from Qifitetuo's demeanor, it is obvious that he is a level 5 swordsman or above. In this way, after completing the mission, if the Tigers
If the members of the mercenary group turned their backs and refused to admit their fault, they could suppress the more than twenty mercenaries they hired and keep the commission for themselves.
Besides, Chifiteto said nicely, with the main members of their mercenary group being supplemented by other mercenaries, but if they want to use other mercenaries as cannon fodder, then a single mercenary like scattered sand cannot
To refuse the oppression of their mercenary groups.
In addition, Ryan had heard before that they had gone to explore Gesudo Mountain last night, but now they didn't even mention it. Apparently they had discovered something strange or dangerous, and then they knew how to eat it with their own strength.
Not wanting to give up this mission, more than twenty mercenaries were recruited to join.
The more Ruian thought about it, the more he felt that this Tiger Mercenary Group had bad intentions. At this time, seeing that many mercenaries here seemed to be confused by the gold coins promised by the Tiger Mercenary Group, and did not realize the danger involved, Ruian couldn't help but step forward.
He shouted: "Captain Qifitetuo."
Ruian didn't continue talking. After everyone's eyes were focused on him, he slowly said: "I heard that your mercenary group went to Gesudo Mountain to investigate last night. I wonder what the results of your investigation were."
Ryan's words immediately calmed down all the mercenaries present, especially the few mercenaries who were also silent and did not speak. They looked at Chifitetto with cold eyes to see how he would explain.
Qifitetuo's expression changed and he said nothing, but a mercenary beside him said: "We didn't detect anything."
As soon as he said this, Ruian didn't believe it, and most of the mercenaries present didn't believe it, and began to have doubts about the Tigers mercenary group.
Ruian was not angry, he just smiled calmly and said: "In that case, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to participate. Although gold coins are precious, life is even more precious."
As soon as Ruian finished speaking, the silent mercenaries immediately expressed their intention not to join the group.
Under this chain reaction, all other mercenaries became hesitant, and several calm mercenaries among them also expressed their intention not to participate.
Seeing that no one was participating, the proposed group was about to come to nothing. Qifeituo quickly changed his expression, smiled at Ruian and said: "Friend, please don't worry, it's not that we don't tell, it's that we investigate.
The result is really not much, just a little bit. But please believe us, if it was really dangerous, we would not dare to take on this task."
This time, without Ruian's reply, an impatient mercenary rushed to speak: "What results did you find out?"
Zifitetuo immediately said: "Last night, a layer of fog enveloped the Gesudo Mountain. Our people did not enter the center area, but only explored the periphery of the fog." After a pause, he continued: "We
I saw some skeletons walking around and howling."
"Skeleton?" The mercenaries present were a little stunned and at a loss. Skeletons represent terror and evil in this world, which indeed makes everyone feel a little frightened.
"How strong is the skeleton?" Ruian asked the key to the question. ~
"Generally speaking, a level 3 swordsman of ours can defeat a skeleton."
This was not very credible. Ruian was thinking that if the skeletons were so easy to defeat, they would have done it themselves without looking for other helpers. However, Ruian did not continue to pursue this issue now.
But one of the silent mercenaries did not let them go. He asked in a somewhat aggressive tone: "If the skeletons are so easy to deal with, why don't you enter the central area? Why don't you take this task yourself instead of looking for us?
Come and join?”
Zifitetuo was not angry, but smiled bitterly and said: "Last night we found out that the skeletons were not very strong, but there were a lot of them, about dozens. In order to avoid losses, we naturally did not enter the central area to explore. Besides,
, the town did not issue this bounty mission yesterday, so naturally we will not take risks to do anything without profit." After a pause, seeing that the mercenaries present agreed with this statement, he continued: "Today
With this
The remuneration of five thousand gold coins has become different again. We are all mercenaries, and it is natural for us to work hard for such a large sum of gold coins. I have considered, if only our Tiger Mercenary Group undertakes this task
If so, it should be possible to complete, but the loss is estimated to be huge, so I asked you to help, just to reduce the loss. This mission has a certain degree of danger, but with the strength of our fifty level 3 swordsmen and above, it shouldn't be too much.
Big danger."
Qifeituo's words were much more sincere this time, but Ryan still felt that they must have reservations, so he asked again: "Captain Qifituo, based on your experience, what do you think the reason should be?"
What about the conditions that caused Geso Mountain?”
Ruian's question hit the point, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ruian, and then on Ziftito, waiting for his answer.
Zifitetuo took a deep look at Ryan, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This incident, if I am not mistaken, should have been caused by a necromancer."
"Necromancer?" Everyone took a deep breath.
In this world, magicians are sacred and noble, but not all magicians are like this, and necromancers are one of them.
Necromancer is synonymous with death, evil, and terror.
Necromancers have the ability to summon undead creatures, and also possess various curses and evil magic. Compared with other magicians, they make ordinary people feel mysterious and even more terrifying. Necromancers can be said to be the mortal enemies of the Church of Light.
, Church of Light
Once traces of a necromancer are found, they will usually do their best to destroy him. Of course, there is no doubt about the power of the necromancer. There have been many people in history who wanted to destroy the necromancer, but were instead destroyed by the necromancer.
case.
If the strange events in Gesudo Mountain were really caused by a necromancer, then people from the Church of Light will definitely come later. It’s just that Gesudo Town is located in a remote area, so the news has not been spread out yet.
.
Except for the mortal enemy of the Church of Light, the relationship between necromancers and other magicians, swordsmen and ordinary people is relatively relaxed. There is no life-or-death situation when they meet. But under the constant propaganda of the Church of Light,
There is a feeling in everyone's consciousness that necromancers are evil and their thoughts must be killed. But at the same time, the power of necromancers exists deep in everyone's hearts like bone marrow.
All the mercenaries present here suddenly retreated in their hearts when they heard that the enemy they were about to deal with might be a necromancer.
Seeing that something was wrong at the scene, Qifeituo quickly said: "According to my observation, this necromancer seems to be able to only summon skeletons, so his level must not be high. As far as I understand, low-level necromancers can summon skeletons."
There is a skeleton, so I estimate that the level of this necromancer is only a low-level magician. Even if it is a little higher, it is at most an intermediate magician, and it is definitely not a high-level magician. So even if it is an intermediate necromancer, there are so many of us.
There will definitely be no problem in dealing with him."
The faces of all the mercenaries present suddenly looked much better, and some of them also felt that what Tsifiteto said made sense.
At the end, Qifite gave everyone a choice: "The specific situation is like this. If you don't want to go, we won't force you. But what I want to say is that as mercenaries, there is no day when we don't risk our lives.
Yes. If someone gives out so many gold coins, if they say it’s not dangerous, then who would believe it?”
After Zifitetuo said this, all the mercenaries present stopped talking. Everyone was thinking about the stakes. Ryan was no exception, but he always felt that this tiger mercenary group must have an ulterior motive.
, must have bad intentions. This is an intuition, but there is no evidence to prove it.
"Be sure to be more wary of the Tiger Mercenary Group and be careful not to plot against them."
However, he was really not willing to give up on this mission. So many gold coins were also a temptation for Ryan. Zifiteto was right, so many gold coins were enough for any mercenary to sacrifice his life.
Therefore, Ruian decided to follow the Tiger Mercenary Group to have a look. However, he wanted to retain some strength and let others come forward. It was best not to expose his level 4 swordsman strength. Although the reward of one hundred and twenty gold coins was higher than eighty
There are more gold coins, but relatively speaking, it is safer to let others think that you are a level 3 swordsman.
Next, it was everyone's turn to express their intention to go, and Ruian quickly agreed to go. The eyes that Chifitetu glanced at Ruian from time to time immediately shifted to several other mercenaries who had not expressed their opinion.
The few mercenaries who had not expressed their opinions raised some questions of their own, and after Chiftito answered, they all agreed to go.
It seems that such a large amount of gold coins has attracted everyone's attention and no one will give up. (To be continued.
