Chapter Eleven: The Devil's Whispering Mountain Range
A mercenary group is a group of hired warriors who gather together to cooperate with each other and act together to achieve a common goal.
Mercenary groups come in various sizes, ranging from large mercenary groups of more than a thousand people to small mercenary groups of three or two people.
Mercenaries get paid by accepting tasks. The difficulty of the tasks varies. They may be to find lost items or missing people, to hunt monsters, to help escort goods, to protect someone, or other things.
In short, as long as they have money, they will accept different tasks according to their own conditions. These tasks are usually in compliance with the mainland's default public laws, and mercenaries are very trustworthy, so they have a good impression in the minds of people in the Kadi continent.
Fei Tan continued: "It is a long way from Wangchundu to Sand City. The world is in chaos now, and you may encounter bandits at any time. Therefore, Han Dahu specially hired the Night Wolf mercenary group to escort you all the way."
"Where's that big guy?" Gu Yao pointed at the two-headed bear with lingering fear.
Although he made a fool of himself when he first entered the house, Gu Yao did not hate the man named Raymond and the giant bear, because they were mostly just joking and had no ill intentions. Raymond even helped him up afterward. As a warrior, he
There is absolutely no need to do this to a servant in an inn.
"Oh, it's Raymond's pet."
Tamer?
There are people on the mainland who specialize in raising pets for their own use and make this their profession. They are called animal trainers.
Gu Yao felt relieved, no wonder the giant bear listened to Raymond's words so much.
At this point, Feitan stopped and said, "Okay, let's not talk too much about their affairs."
Gu Yao nodded. During Feitan's drinking period, he learned many things. One of them was to mind his own business. This is the wise way to protect yourself.
After everyone had had enough wine and food, the knight stood up and said to the fat man at the head table: "Han Dahu, our team has been on the road for more than 20 days in a row. Many people are exhausted physically and mentally. It is getting late now and we have to stay up all night.
It might be more dangerous to cross the Magic Mountains, why don’t we stay in this inn for one night and continue our journey tomorrow morning?”
Han Dahu hesitated to speak, but finally nodded and said: "Captain Yang Feng will arrange everything."
The knight named Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: "Then let's decide."
Turning to Feitan, he said: "Boss, do the inn have enough guest rooms? We need twenty-seven."
When Fei Tan heard this, his old face suddenly burst into laughter. This was a rare big deal. If they were to stay here, they would definitely spend tomorrow's breakfast at the inn, which would be a lot of gold coins.
Making calculations in his mind, Feitan said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there are still many guest rooms left in our hotel. Guests, please rest assured."
When Gu Yao heard Yang Feng's words just now, he couldn't help but said: "You want to pass through the Demonic Mountains?"
The Momo Mountain Range is located between Chiyan City and Ice City, not far to the west of Shili Town.
The mountain range is composed of countless peaks and dangerous valleys, stretching for more than 200 kilometers. There are many ferocious monsters, making it a dangerous place. Adventurers often enter the mountains to hunt monsters to obtain materials and crystal cores. However, they only venture into the mountains, and some greedy ones
People go deep into it, hoping to get better crystal nuclei, but many of them cannot come back, and most likely become the food of the monsters.
There are also many medicine farmers who go to the edge of the mountains to collect medicines in exchange for money, but they are all during the day, because when night falls, faint murmurs can be heard from the mountains, as if they are alive.
Those medicine farmers who heard the ravings would be unknowingly deceived and walked up the mountains, and have disappeared since then. The nearby residents thought it was the temptation of the devil. I don’t know when it started, and the name of the raving mountains came into being.
.
The knight did not look down upon Gu Yao because he was just a servant of the inn. He nodded and said pleasantly: "Little brother, is there any problem?"
Although Feitan had told him not to mind his own business, Gu Yao saw that these people were very nice and couldn't help but remind him: "Guests, you must be from other places and don't know much about the Demonic Mountains? It is an evil place!"
And even after passing through the Magic Mountains, there is no city territory nearby, but an uninhabited wilderness for thousands of miles, full of tigers and wolves, and we don’t know how far we have to go to get out!”
Yang Feng smiled slightly: "I know, little brother, thank you for your kindness, but we have already decided."
In fact, he had previously planned to pass through our Chiyan City, and then go to Sand City along Feishui City, Arigas County and other places. Although the distance would be more than twice as long, it would be much safer.
However, Han Dahu didn't know whether it was because he wanted to return home or for other reasons, he insisted on choosing the route through the mountains and refused to listen to repeated advice. After all, he was the employer, so Yang Feng had no choice but to do this.
It is said that some large merchants who want to avoid tariffs will also take this route.
According to them, although most of the monsters on this road are powerful, they are not the most vicious ones.
A mercenary group of four people can repel ordinary incoming monsters. Those guardians are just ordinary people. If they are united under someone's command, they can still play a certain role. No matter how difficult it is, they can protect themselves.
Gu Yao saw that he seemed quite confident when he spoke, so he said no more.
That night, the group stayed at the Yuelai Inn. The boss, Fei Tan, was very happy, but Gu Yao was suffering because just pouring tea and water from room to room was a heavy workload.
He was so tired that he almost fell apart. After finishing all the work, Gu Yao returned to the room and put himself on the small bed without even closing the door.
Even though the wooden bed was relatively hard, Gu Yao couldn't help but moan in comfort.
After moaning for a while, he remembered that he heard the moans of the prostitutes when he went to the Tianxiang Building next door to take a peek. He found it interesting and on a whim, he imitated them and woke them up.
"Yeah! Yeah! Harder!"
At this moment, a female voice like a silver bell came from outside the door: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Gu Yao got up in a hurry and saw Han Dahu's daughter staring at him strangely with her big dark eyes open.
