Chapter 8: Restarting the road, the golden light shines
In the past month, apart from doing tasks, Ram and the two of them have been practicing the Wolf Fighting Technique. They finally broke through the fifth level of the Wolf Fighting Technique five days ago. However, the two of them are not as lucky as Yaliqi.
With the help of the black dragon bloodline and sky fire, it is not easy to break through the sixth level. Even so, Yaliqi was shocked.
On the other hand, Yaliqi has not made much progress in the War Wolf Art in the past month, but the martial arts in his body have become more and more refined. Although there is not much martial arts stored in the body, the effect is obviously better than that of Ram
and Lucky.
And after this month, the three of them have discovered that the effect of the Wolf Warrior Technique is actually not as great as imagined. Without the corresponding martial arts, it is impossible to exert powerful skills. So until now, the three of them are still relying on
In terms of the effect of Instinct's use of the Wolf Warrior Technique, his strength has been greatly improved and his body has become stronger.
In terms of practicality, Yalic discovered that the Wolf Warrior Technique still operates autonomously. When force is exerted, the martial energy in the body will automatically concentrate on the part where the force is exerted, and will be dispersed outside the body for close range destruction.
Of course, compared with before, the effect is still obvious, so these days, Laqi has always wanted to let Yaliqi take on some more advanced tasks. He doesn't want to help people collect medicines, run errands or catch small beasts every day.
Mudu feels that it is a bit overkill.
"Don't be anxious, haha," Yalic said mysteriously: "Do you know how much we have earned in total this month?"
Ram blinked and said, "How many can there be? It's probably not much. We haven't eaten meat for a long time."
Lucky shrugged and said nothing.
"Haha" Yalic smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Don't worry, I will make sure you have a full meal later. Let me tell you, this month, the three of us earned a total of 42 gold coins!"
"Ha" Lucky yelled funny, and then said: "It's indeed quite a lot."
Ram thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Sir, do you want to prepare to go eastward?"
Yaliqi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I plan to go see the horses tomorrow, and then see if there are any caravans going east to recruit guards. If there are, we will follow the caravan, although it will be slow.
, but if it’s not safe, we have to go by ourselves.”
"Okay." Ram knew that Yalich wanted to go with the caravan. The most important thing in Yalich's heart now was safety, especially after Ram saved Yalich last time.
Early the next morning, Yaliqi asked Ram to buy dry food, Laqi went to buy some sundries, and he went to buy three horses. He spent more than thirty gold coins, grinned in distress, and sent the horses away.
After returning to the hotel, we came to the east gate of Star City.
There is a cargo station here, and there is also one at the west gate, which are used to stack some goods that are ready to leave the city. Yaliqi came to the door of the cargo station and asked the guard at the door: "Brother, are you going to Loland City tomorrow?"
Or is it the caravan going to Bana City?"
The guard looked at Yalich, then at the broken sword at his waist, and said, "Are you here to apply for a guard job?"
"Yes," Yalic said seriously.
"Then you go straight in. There happens to be a caravan leaving tomorrow. They just said they were recruiting guards. The boss has already gone to the mercenary guild," the guard said.
"Mercenary guild?" Yalic thought to himself: "It should be time to go there now, and there won't be only one or two guards." Then he thanked the guard and hurried back.
Looking at Yalich leaving in a hurry, the guard shook his head and whispered: "It's true that people die for money and birds die for food. Here comes another nasty robber who is willing to die. He has caused me no benefit for several months.
"
It turns out that just a few months ago, in a mountain forest between Star City and Bana City, a group of bandits suddenly appeared, specializing in robbing passing merchants. This guard used to attack when encountering a small group of merchants entering the city.
Someone comes here to ask him about the situation in the city, and of course he has some benefits. However, since the bandits appeared, few small groups of merchants have entered the city. They are all large caravans with special leaders. Naturally,
No need to ask him.
When Yalic arrived at the mercenary guild, he heard the receptionist's voice as soon as he entered the door: "Yalich, aren't you going to rest? Are you still ready to take on the mission?"
"No, I'm going to leave Star City tomorrow. I heard at the cargo station that there was a caravan coming here to recruit guards, so I came over to take a look." Yalic said hello to him and stared at the magic wall.
.
"Hehe. Sure enough, two gold coins per person, not bad, it's on the way anyway. Haha" Yalic was already secretly having fun when he saw the mission.
But when I went to pick up the mission, I was told that it was a multi-person mission, with only rewards, no points, and the number of missions would not be counted, and of course it would not affect the mission completion rate.
Just when Yaliqi was lost, he suddenly felt someone staring at him. He turned around and saw that there was a man in an iron mask standing just a dozen feet behind him. Through the mask, he could still feel a sense of being...
The feeling of being watched.
Suddenly, the man in the iron mask walked towards Yaliqi, one step, two steps. With every step he took, Yaliqi felt that the danger seemed to be getting closer to him. The man in the iron mask stood two steps away from Yaliqi.
He said coldly: "It seems that you care about the numbers on the mercenary card!"
"Uh, ah! Yes." Yaliqi was shocked. His mind suddenly went blank just now. When the man in the iron mask spoke, he finally regained consciousness. He was frightened for a while. If this man attacks him at this time, he will
There was no room for fighting back. After being promoted to a military commander, Yalic considered himself to be a master, but this man suddenly made him realize that the Western Yuan Continent was very big and there were many people, which meant that there were also many masters.
.
"Of course, that will affect how much money I can receive every month." Yalic said with lingering fear after recovering.
"Oh?" The man in the iron mask nodded, and then said: "Follow me." He turned around and walked towards the place where he handed over the task.
It was a strange, indescribable feeling. Yalic followed the footsteps of the man in the iron mask and walked over. He saw the man in the iron mask whispering a few words in front of the receptionist, and then glanced at Yalic. At this time,
Yalic seemed to "see" the man in the iron mask smiling.
"Hi, Yalic, come here quickly." The receptionist waved to Yalic excitedly.
Then he said: "You are so lucky, Yalich, that is the vice president of our mercenary guild in Star City - Mr. Luther. He just told me that he asked me to take this escort mission as your subordinate."
A mission has been assigned, haha, you’ve made a lot of money.”
"Ah! What? Assigning a mission? What are you doing?" Yalic said angrily.
This made the receptionist suddenly startled, and then he quickly thought of the reason, and then smiled and said: "Although there is no reward for the assignment, after completing this assignment, you can receive your guild reward from last month.
You now have 1650 points and can receive sixteen gold coins and five silver coins. In addition to the basic five silver coins, you can receive seventeen gold coins after completing this task. Moreover, among the assigned tasks, there are only escort tasks.
It’s relatively safe, especially with this kind of collective protection.”
"Ah!" Yalic looked very surprised.
After hearing these words, Yaliqi certainly knew that he was taking care of him, so on the way back, Yaliqi thought hard. He couldn't remember where he had met this man in the iron mask, but why was he doing this?
Take care of yourself.
Just as they were talking, Ram and Lucky had already bought everything, including three pieces of leather armor, food and some other things.
Looking at the sky, Yaliqi sighed in his heart and thought: "I can finally leave."
Then he turned around and said to Ram and Lucky with a smile: "Let's go! Go eat meat, haha..."
Yaliqi and the others set out very early in the morning with the caravan heading to Bana City. Just when Yaliqi and the others had just walked out of the east city gate, there was a faint whisper in a corner next to the cargo station.
..
"Lord Luther, why do you care so much about a small mercenary? Although he is a permanent high-level mercenary, there are more than 1,300 people in Star City alone." If Yalic is here
You can definitely tell by hearing that this is the receptionist.
"Silang, do you know why mercenaries were called mercenaries in the first place?" Luther asked in a low voice. Without waiting for Silang's answer, he continued: "The most important thing about mercenaries in the past was the word "soldier" at the end.
, that was the real era of mercenaries."
As if recalling the past, he continued: "There are countless high-level mercenaries, thousands of special-level mercenaries, and hundreds of god-level mercenaries, not to mention our mercenary group alliance, the guild at that time
, it can be said that it has the power to influence the rise and fall of a certain country, but later Shenting unified all the countries and divided them into main cities for governance. Therefore, after a long time, everyone only remembers the first word in mercenary - mercenary.
Forgot the crucial word "war".
"Yes. Yes, Lord Luther," Slang replied quickly, and then asked: "But what does this have to do with that Yalich?"
"He is very special. The first time I met him, he was just a warrior. But it has only been a month. Last time I detected that his martial arts has reached the level of a military commander. This is by no means an accident. If he can maintain his speed fast enough,
If the progress rate is higher, I will consider suggesting to the President to help him establish a mercenary group, absorb him into the alliance, and become a core member." Luther said after thinking for a while.
"And...Okay, let's go." Luther waved his hand, stopped talking, and turned around with Slang.
When the sun rose, many people had already started to take out the food they had brought with them and eat it, and Yaliqi and the other three were no exception. Although the caravan brought enough food for the journey, that was what was needed.
Those who spend money, like businessmen, are inherently unprofitable and can’t afford to be early.
The owner of this caravan is called Falqi, a native of Lorain. He lives in Lorain, but his main business is in Bana City. His main business is to exchange various specialties from Bana City and Star City.
Reselling and making money from the price difference, I have been doing well in these years and have made a lot of money. I have my own caravan and escort team, but recently I heard that there is a small village in the Xiaoklan Mountains between Bana City and Star City.
There were dozens of bandits, not too many, but Star City and Bana City were unwilling to send troops to encircle and suppress them, so to be on the safe side, although there were dozens of escorts, Falqi still hired another twenty
Many mercenaries.
The entire caravan has more than a dozen carriages, and it is more than a hundred meters long from front to back. Including the guards of the caravan and those hired, there are a total of one hundred guards, scattered around the caravan.
But at this moment, the mercenaries were obviously not in a happy mood, because the guard captain believed that their escort was enough, and the mercenaries brought by Mr. Falchi were completely unnecessary. Moreover, their weapons were messy and their formations were disorderly.
So we might as well assign them to the back of the team, so that if something happens, they won't get in the way.
In fact, this is no wonder the guard captain. Looking at it, the people in the guard are divided into teams to perform their own duties. On the other hand, these mercenaries are sitting on horses in groups chatting, telling a few dirty jokes from time to time.
The people around him burst into laughter, and the guard captain frowned.
But there were three people who caught the guard captain's attention. One of the three people was in front, a young man wearing leather armor with a sword on his waist. The two people behind him were tall and wearing leather armor, but only on their backs.
With shields on their backs, the three of them were silent all the way, just looking at the surroundings quietly. The guard captain nodded and thought, "These three look a bit like mercenaries."
In fact, it was not that Yaliqi and the other three were trying to be cool, but that all three of them got into trouble because they talked too much. When they suffered a lot, they naturally lost their memory, so the three of them never said a word to the people around them from the beginning to the end.
talk.
After eating in silence, the caravan continued all the way, because it was still ten days away from Bana City, and the road was quiet. After walking like this for three or four days, the caravan entered Xiaoklan.
Mountains, this mountain road takes two days to walk. Before entering the Xiaoklan Mountains, the name of the guard captain Kamo was heard from other mercenaries.
Kamo gathered everyone together and told everyone that after entering the mountains, everyone must listen to his instructions and not talk nonsense or cause trouble. Then more than a hundred people set out on the road nervously.
Unfortunately, not long after they left, something bad happened to them. On a big stone by the road in front, they saw a man sitting with his back to this side.
Just another thin sword as wide as a finger.
Kamo quickly raised his hand to signal the convoy to stop, and he stepped forward alone, reined in his horse and asked, "Who is that person in front? But he wants to block our way."
I saw the man stood up and turned around slowly. His golden hair was even more dazzling under the sun. I saw that this man was well-proportioned, wearing a set of leather armor, with a handsome face, and wielding a sword.
He pulled it out from the stone, and then jumped down from the big stone very handsomely. He looked at the caravan behind Kamo and smiled. It didn't matter. His handsome face and elegant smile immediately made people feel that he
He was like a nobleman, and Kamo also felt it. He quickly got off his horse, put his right fist on his chest, and said to the man: "Kamo, the captain of Lord Falchi's escort in Lorraine City, would like to say hello to you. May I ask this noble question?
Sir, do you need to go to Luolan City on the way?"
This man looks extraordinary and handsome, giving people a very noble feeling. Kamo does this because he does not want to make enemies for Falqi. Sometimes it is like this. People who look inconspicuous can often be fatal to you.
A blow.
This man walked gently towards Kamo, stood in front of Kamo, then smiled again, and then raised his hand to pat Kamo's shoulder to show that he accepted his greetings, Kamo also smiled slightly.
.
Seeing this, Falchi felt relieved, and the members of the escort team, including the mercenaries, also felt relieved. However, Yaliqi noticed that this man jumped from the stone until now.
The tip of his sword is always facing forward, which means that he is ready to attack at any time.
This is Yalic's experience gained after fighting many wild beasts, but the beast's intentions are only in its eyes.
Just when Yaliqi was about to step forward to speak, the man suddenly took action, and a dazzling golden light burst out from his raised right hand, shooting towards the chest of Kamo who was close at hand.
He was also a good player. When the opponent's eyes suddenly changed, he felt something was wrong, and immediately turned his body sideways. But even so, the distance was too close, and the golden light still hit Kamo, and only the golden light could be seen.
After Mang hit Kamo's left shoulder, the man smiled proudly, and then made a slight "collapse" sound in his mouth. Then Kamo's left shoulder suddenly exploded, blowing off his entire left arm.
.
Kamo endured the pain, danced once, pulled out the long sword from his waist with his right hand, and asked angrily: "Who are you? Why did you attack me sneakily."
"Hahaha..." The man laughed crazily, and then said: "Fool, I am a robber. If I don't attack you, how can I rob such a large caravan?"
This is not bad. The escort members are generally only intermediate martial arts masters. There are several high-level martial arts masters. Only Kamo is an intermediate martial general, so Kamo is also the center of the escort team. This is good. Kamo was injured before the battle. The caravan
There was chaos all of a sudden, and Falchi timidly hid in the carriage and did not dare to come out. The escorts were better, some of them were still guarding the convoy, and some of them ran to the front, pulling out their weapons and preparing to fight.
