Ruian was very angry, but he still controlled his temper and patiently explained: "Didn't I just say that? I got separated from the team and wandered around in the fog alone. I came out as soon as the fog lifted at dawn."
"You're talking nonsense. How can you be okay with your level 3 swordsman level?" The thin man didn't want to let Ruian go.
"That's my luck." Ryan became even more angry, but he still managed to control it.
"You're lying. You must be hiding. You must be afraid of death and hide secretly to watch other mercenaries die." The thin man used his own ideas to guess Ruian, and his guess turned out to be right.
Suddenly, this sentence seemed to grab Ruian's sore leg, leaving Ruian speechless. His quibbles were simple, but in his subconscious, he had been hiding for himself and watching others being killed.
He felt ashamed, so he didn't defend himself for a while.
Seeing that Ruian didn't speak, the thin man laughed and shouted: "Look, I was right, you coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
The thin man's companions also laughed together and started making sarcastic remarks loudly.
People gathered at the city gate to watch the excitement, and many of them looked at Ruian with disdain.
Being verbally humiliated by so many people, Ryan did not lose his temper. On the contrary, all the anger he had just dissipated. Subconsciously, he still felt that he could not stand up to the mercenaries who were killed by zombie skeletons. At this time, Ryan was not very angry.
He no longer cared about what these people thought. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. So, Ruian turned around and wanted to walk through the gap between the mercenaries blocking the way and walk into the city.
However, the mercenary at the edge of the gap moved a step and stood in front of Ryan, shouting loudly: "Don't leave, you despicable guy!" He saw that Ryan had been silently enduring their laughter,
I thought Ruian was afraid of them, and seemed to have forgotten the gap in strength between them and Ruian.
"Get out of the way!" Ruian stopped and the dissipated anger surfaced again, and he couldn't help but shout.
"If you don't let me, I won't let you." The mercenary who blocked the road really didn't appreciate it, and instead shouted arrogantly.
Suddenly, Ruian became even more angry. So, he raised his right foot suddenly and kicked the mercenary in the way hard on the chest. The whole body of the mercenary in the way flew back several meters involuntarily and hit the ground.
.
Everyone was stunned, whether they were members of the Tiger Mercenary Group or those watching the excitement.
Ryan ignored it and left.
Only then did the thin man react and rushed towards Ruian anxiously.
Ruian turned around, punched and kicked, and quickly knocked down several mercenaries rushing in front of him. To deal with these low-level mercenaries, Ruian, who was experienced and more powerful than others, seemed very relaxed and did not need to use a sword.
, you can defeat these people with fists and kicks, even if these people take out their swords, they are no match for Ryan.
The few remaining people did not dare to go forward and stepped back a few words, but they continued to curse.
Ruian ignored him and turned around to leave.
The men from the Tiger Mercenary Group did not dare to catch up, so they could only yell at them behind.
"You are a timid coward who only bullies us and fights zombies if you dare."
"You are a bastard who is greedy for life and afraid of death. You are simply a disgrace to mercenaries."
"Don't leave if you dare."
All kinds of insults came into Ruian's ears from behind, but Ruian pretended not to hear them. After a year of traveling, Ruian had become very open-minded and didn't care at all about these unreasonable insults.
However, Ruian did not expect that because he did not respond to these insults, people gathered at the city gate to watch the excitement. They also felt that Ruian was a coward who was greedy for life and feared death, and looked down upon Ruian very much.
Ruian returned to the hotel he rented and quickly fell asleep. Although he did not fight last night, he spent the whole night in a state of fear, physical and mental tension, and his body was really tired.
In the evening, Ruian had enough rest and woke up. After cleaning and filling his stomach, he wanted to plan his next trip.
At this moment, Ryan doesn't want to leave Gesudo Town yet. He wants to see how the incident in Gesudo Mountain develops and how it will be resolved in the end. He would be unwilling to leave at this time.
Although there will be some trouble for Ryan if he stays in Gesudo Town, and those who look down on him may make trouble for him, these troubles are still within Ryan's tolerance. Compared to staying and watching the fun, it is still acceptable.
After it got dark, Ruian came to the winery he had been to before. He wanted to go there to get some news and see if anyone was looking for him. After all, he had told the person on duty the address of this winery in the morning.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, the huge hall was about 80% full, and no one noticed Ruian's entrance.
But when Ruian was looking for a seat, several people saw Ruian. As a result, except for one person who recognized Ruian and immediately showed a look of disdain, no one else recognized him.
Ryan ignored it and simply found a chair in a corner to sit down, ordered a glass of ale, and then listened to the conversations of the others in the drink.
"I heard that fifty mercenaries from the Tiger Mercenary Group went up to Gesudo Mountain yesterday, but only one came back this morning."
"I know this. The guy who came back is sitting over there, the big guy."
"No, I heard that the man was very timid and escaped with his life by hiding. Looking at this big guy, doesn't he look like a timid person?"
"This is what people call appearances. Regardless of how big he is, he may not only have little courage, but also little strength, and his strength is very poor."
"Wow, I never thought there were people like this."
After a while, many people in the wine hall recognized Ruian and started talking about Ruian.
Various insulting words also reached Ruian's ears, making Ruian's face turn pale and red for a while. Ruian wanted to leave, but in the end he forced himself to stay with great perseverance.
It seems that the remaining members of the Tiger Mercenary Group are unwilling to accept that Ruian is still alive and must be spreading unfavorable words about Ruian in the city.
After finally waiting for a long time, the people in the drink stopped talking about Ryan and started talking about other things.
"I heard that the Black Panther Mercenary Group is going to Gesudo Mountain tonight?"
"Yes, our Tiger mercenary group in Gesudo town was completely wiped out on Gesudo mountain. It is estimated that it will exist in name only in the future. Although the Black Panther mercenary group is one of the best mercenary groups in the nearby medium-sized city of Vala, its strength is
It’s better than the Tiger Mercenary Group, but it’s probably very dangerous for them to go to Gesudo Mountain this time, and they might be completely wiped out.”
"It's hard to say. I heard that there are two magicians in the Black Panther Mercenary Group, who might be able to complete this task."
"Then let's go to the city gate tomorrow morning and see how many members of the Black Panther Mercenary Group can come back."
"good.
Hearing this, Ruian thought to himself: "It seems that the reward of three or four gold coins is still very tempting. Even people from mercenary groups from other places have come to take over the task. I wonder if they can complete the task."
Then, Ruian heard another news.
"Be careful outside recently and don't cause trouble."
"What's wrong? What happened? How come I didn't know."
"Nothing happened. It's just that recently there have been a lot of people from out of town in Gesudo Town. Many of these people seem to be at the level of high-level swordsmen. Some people even saw a level 7 swordsman appear."
"Oh God! Why do so many people come to our town of Gesudo?"
"I don't know. It probably has something to do with what happened on Gesudo Mountain. I told you, you must not cause trouble outside. If you cause trouble and offend those high-level swordsmen, no one can save them.
to you."
"I know, I'm not that stupid."
Ruian was moved when he heard this: "Sure enough, many high-level swordsmen have come here, which proves that Gesudo Mountain must have some unknown secret. What is this secret?"
Ruian continued to listen, but after a while, he heard no other useful news. He was about to call a wine waiter and spend some money to buy some news.
Unexpectedly, a young mercenary sitting near Ruian got there first and called the waiter to ask, which saved Ruian a lot of money in tips.
"Guest, what news do you want to know?" the waiter asked respectfully.
"Is there any important news in Gesudo Town recently, related to Gesudo Mountain?" the young mercenary asked directly.
"Guest, you have asked the right person. No one in Gesudo Town is as well-informed as I am." The waiter was about to brag, but then he saw the young mercenary's expression was wrong and quickly continued: "From now on
Starting from this morning, a rumor has been spreading in our town of Quesodo."
"Rumor?" The young mercenary looked very interested, and the mercenaries listening nearby, including Ruian, were also very curious.
"Yes, some people are saying that a necromancer stole several treasures from a large family in the Odoli Empire. He was seriously injured after being discovered, but in the end he escaped with the treasures."
"Odoli Empire?" Hearing this, not only the young mercenary, but also others, including Ruian, were very surprised. The Odoli Empire is one of the two major empires in the mainland. It is powerful and rich in resources. It is not at all like the numerous empires in the southern part of the mainland.
The treasures of the Odoli Empire's big family, which the kingdoms and principalities could not compare to, were so attractive to the mercenaries of these backward kingdoms and principalities that they could not imagine.
"What kind of treasure is it?" the young mercenary asked again quickly. This question brought out the thoughts of everyone present and immediately made everyone prick up their ears to listen.
"I don't know about that, it's not mentioned in the rumors." The waiter waved his hands helplessly.
Later, the waiter explained the content of the rumor in detail.
Ruian listened carefully, but there was nothing new in these contents. It was just that the necromancer escaped from injury and came to Gesudo Mountain. Now, all the strange events in Gesudo Mountain were caused by the necromancer.
