These three people were dressed as mercenaries. Two of them were about forty years old and strong and capable. The other was about sixteen or seventeen years old and one-and-a-half meters tall. At first glance, he looked like an undergrown child. The young man wore light armor and had hands on his hands.
Holding the long bow, under the prompts of the other two people, he took out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bow, and pointed it at Tianlan and the others without any accuracy.
Tianlan observed carefully, and saw that this young man looked timid, always looking back at the other two elders, and the hand holding the bow was trembling slightly. Not to mention threatening, he didn't even have any momentum at all.
Encouraged by the two elders, the young man said timidly: "Who are you? Well, come on, what are you doing here... Well, what else? Oh, our mercenary group is on a mission here.
"Everyone who has nothing to do with you should leave quickly..." After saying that, he looked at the other two mercenaries sheepishly and whispered: "Uncle, is that so? What else do you want to say?"
Tianlan and the other three were speechless for a while. This boy is so useless...
A mercenary encouraged: "Very good, Xiaokui, that's it."
Another mercenary said dissatisfied: "Xiao Kui, why are your hands shaking? Hold on tight! Use your momentum! Use your momentum to scare the opponent away!"
The young man immediately became bitter and said: "No... I'm afraid... what if I hurt someone... This is a real arrow, the tip of the arrow is made of iron..."
The two mercenaries shook their heads together and sighed, secretly thinking that this child is good at everything, but he is too timid and afraid of trouble. He is too scared to even kill a chicken, let alone kill a person. The leader lamented day by day, this child will be afraid in the future.
How to become a mercenary?
Tian Lan took a step forward, bowed politely, and said, "Don't be nervous, you three. We are travelers who pass by here by chance. We don't have any ill intentions. I wonder which mercenary group you are from?"
The young man hummed for a long time without saying anything. Another mercenary saw that the young man in white was gentle and polite, and felt good about him. He politely replied: "We are the Golden Lion Mercenary Group, and we are camping in the open space in front." He reluctantly took a picture.
He patted the young man next to him on the shoulder and said, "This child is Nangong Kui. He is still young and made several people laugh."
Golden Lion...Tianlan and the others remembered that Wu Gong, whom they met at the Lingxiao City Pharmacy, also called themselves the Golden Lion Mercenary Group. Could it be that they are here? Thinking of Wu Gong's hateful eyes when he finally left, Tianlan still felt that they should not get involved with them.
It’s better to have too many. Just as he was about to resign, he saw a dozen more mercenaries emerging from the dense forest.
Unfortunately, one of these dozen people was Wu Gong. When Wu Gong saw Tianlan and the others, he was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said to the leader of the team: "Captain Pu Band, these people I
I know, they have blocked our team from performing tasks."
Pu Le glanced at Wu Gong and said, "Is that so? Then take them all away!"
Ye Yi felt dissatisfied and was about to say something when Tianlan stopped him and said: "Forget it, I'll make peace with you now." If you conflict with them and leave forcefully, you will only become completely hostile to the Golden Lion Mercenary Group, so it's better to
Stay and watch what happens.
They followed the mercenaries to the camp. Nangong Kui was very excited along the way, probably because he saw people of his own age. He started chatting with Tian Lan and others regardless of their unknown origins.
"What's the problem between you and Uncle Wu? His eyes are gloomier than usual today."
Tian Lan smiled and said: "A little red flower celebration."
"safflower?"
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, look at you holding a bow and arrow. Are you an archer? How many years have you been studying?"
Nangong Kui raised the bow in his hand and said: "It has been thirteen years since I was three years old! I have learned bows and arrows in the mercenary group since I was a child. Hehe, but I am not very good now. If it weren't for my father, I must
I know, I really don’t want to do these fighting and killing things. But! Our mercenary group is very good! You probably don’t know! Our Golden Lion Mercenary Group is one of the largest mercenary groups on the mainland.
, together with the Evil Ghost Mercenary Group and the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, are known as the "three giants in the mercenary world"... Although only 300 people participated in this mission, the total number of mercenaries in our Golden Lion Mercenary Group reaches tens of thousands.
, and there is also an exclusive city 'Golden Lion City'. It's not bad!"
Nangong Kui introduced it proudly, seemingly having deep feelings for this mercenary group.
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Three hundred people, that's a lot. What kind of mission is it?"
Nangong Kui scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, it seems to be a very difficult mission. We have been stationed here for half a month. Alas, no one has chatted with me for half a month." This mission
The people who came were all experienced middle-aged mercenaries, and Nangong Kui was the only child in the entire mercenary group. He was bored for a long time, and when he saw Tianlan and several of his peers, he was pleasantly surprised, and he started to talk more unknowingly.
.
Xiaotang followed Tianlan closely. Under this situation, she was not nervous at all and talked and laughed freely, saying: "Where are we going now? Maybe they can find a place to lock us up."
The camp was very large, surrounded by temporary wooden fences, and there were many tents placed densely inside. From time to time, there were several mercenaries chatting and drinking in groups, and many people were running with huge rocks on their backs, sweating like rain.
It doesn't look like a temporary camp, but more like a stronghold, which is obviously not on the same level as Qingshan Village.
Nangong Kui smiled and said, "No, Uncle Pule will probably take you to see my father first, and then see what he says."
"Oh? Your father is..."
"Eh? Didn't I tell you? My father, Nangong Mingjing, is the leader." Nangong Kui smiled and said this naturally.
"No, you're talking about your father?" Ye Yi rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "Then you are not the heir of this mercenary group?" Thinking about Nangong Kui's hands shaking even while holding the bow, it is difficult to think of it.
Imagine how he would command a giant mercenary group in the future.
Nangong Kui scratched his head and said: "Actually, our mercenary group has three captains, and my father is just one of them. The sons of the other two captains are better than me, so it shouldn't be my turn."
As they chatted, they had already walked to the main tent. The size of this tent was more than five times that of the other tents. At a glance, it was obvious that this was where the leader lived or held meetings.
Before approaching, Pule said to Tianlan and the others: "You guys, come in with me. Xiaokui, just forget it."
Nangong Kui said unhappily: "Why? I want to go in too. I haven't seen my father for several days."
Pu Le couldn't resist him and had no choice but to agree.
"Captain Nangong, this is already the seventeenth wave of spies. As soon as they approach the Ghost Fortress, without exception, they lose all news. What should we do? It's been half a month, and delaying it like this is not an option."
"I know it too. But there is no way. I don't know what kind of magic circle is set up outside the ghost castle. If we enter rashly, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. But now we can't give up on this mission. This is related to the important relationship between us and the other two mercenary groups.
profit distribution."
Tian Lan and others heard a conversation between two people outside the tent. Nangong Kui was surprised when he heard the words and ran in quickly. Pule didn't even try to stop him. Tian Lan and others looked at each other and quickly followed.
In addition to Nangong Kui, there are two other people in the main tent. They look somewhat similar, with resolute faces and bright eyes. One of them is wearing a silver shawl, which is slightly different from the others. He should be Nangong Mingjing, Jin
One of the current leaders of the Lion Mercenary Group.
Nangong Kui stepped forward and said, "Father, is this mission really that difficult? Why don't you tell me what it is?"
Nangong Mingjing turned around, saw several strangers and his son, and looked at Pule with questioning eyes. Pule immediately said: "Captain Nangong, we found these three people outside the camp. It is said that they are with the group.
The mercenaries were having a bit of a holiday, so I brought them here. As for Xiao Kui...he is clamoring to see you..." When talking about Nangong Kui, Pu Le was obviously helpless. Nangong Kui is a well-behaved child, although he is a bit timid and fearful.
, but the mercenaries all like him very much and even regard him as their own child, and Pule is no exception.
Nangong Mingjing looked at Tianlan and the others, and felt a little relieved when he saw that they were young people about the same age as his son. He looked at Xiaotang first. Her beauty was indeed extraordinary. Even Captain Nangong, who had seen countless beauties, felt
I couldn't help but marvel in my heart, and thought to myself: What a beautiful woman! In two years' time, she will be the most beautiful woman in the world.
