Chapter 217 Phantom Light
"Ku!!"
The giant axe stood up and opened a huge blood hole on the head of the wild wolf that was still struggling desperately, which made the ferocious beast stop its last attack before death. A burly warrior stood up, looked at the corpse of the wild wolf in front of him, and spat fiercely.
"This group of damn wild dogs! It's so difficult to deal with!!"
"It's not a wild dog, but a wild wolf, my brother."
The half-elf with half-eared ears held a bow and arrow, patrolling around with vigilance, and at the same time made a sound to correct the mistakes of his teammates.
"However, these wild wolves are really troublesome. Why does the captain take on such a boring task?"
"Isn't it because there is nothing to do nearby?"
The tiny thief played with the dagger in his hand, narrowed his eyes and began to look and calculate how many gold coins the wild wolf skin could sell after peeling it off, and replied casually.
"If this continues, brothers will be so poor that they can't get rid of the blame. Hello, what do you think? Didn't you hear the undead... Bah, hasn't the Lord of Life Forest recently issued an opening notice? Why don't we talk to the captain? Go to Life Forest to try our luck. After all, it's the ruins of the former High Elf Kingdom. If we can get some porcelain tiles and other things there, it's better to mess with wild dogs here!"
Hearing this sentence, the half-elf's ears moved slightly. Although he said nothing, the half-elf's eyes had already moved to the distant horizon. Seeing that the situation was not good, the thief hurriedly slipped over and kicked the barbarian who was not talking hard.
"Are you a fool? Is the Forest of Life that easy to enter? Who do you think the lord is there? That's a legendary swordsman! Do you understand? Come on, read it with me, the legendary swordsman! Why are you trembling? Are you cold? In front of those big names, our mercenaries are not even worthy of appetizers! Besides, who knows what we have worked hard to find, what if we really find some treasure but are snatched away by them? We are just mercenaries, how can we fight against that kind of guy? If they kill someone to silence them, let alone money, we might even lose our lives there! You are such a fool! What do you believe in whatever they say? What if they just want to find a free thug?"
"But...that kind of great person should not be as knowledgeable as we little mercenaries..."
The savage scratched his head and muttered in a low voice.
"This is called to prevent it! Do you think the captain is a fool? He must have considered this issue a long time ago! Mercenaries do want money, but money must be spent! Besides, those nobles are all glamorous on the surface, but who knows what kind of thing is in their bones? Being more careful is also good!" When he said this, the thief suddenly raised his head, then he looked around in confusion and listened again. At this moment, the half-elf also jumped down from the branch where he was resting, holding a bent bow, and stared vigilantly at the depths of the dense woodland.
The thief lay on the ground and listened carefully. Then, his face changed to look extremely ugly in an instant.
"This sound...is Yalong!!! Hell! Which guy with no eyes actually lured this damn thing?!"
“Someone is fighting.”
The half-elf's hearing is obviously better than the thief, and he doesn't need to lie on the ground.
And at this moment, the swordsman who was originally silent next to him turned around and walked towards the place where the sound came out.
"Let's go and have a look."
When the mercenary group arrived, they were stunned on the spot.
"Is this a joke?"
The thief widened his eyes in surprise and stared at the scene in front of him in almost unimaginable circumstances.
In front of the giant lizard-like sub-dragon, several young people were fighting there, and it seemed that they were all children!
A red-haired girl waved her long sword. The red sword body penetrated without any obstacles into the leather armor that could resist the steel sword spear, and deeply penetrated Yalong's body. The other girl wearing close-fitting leather armor and with good curves lightly avoided Yalong's waving her minions like a butterfly. She loosened her hands and tightened her hands, and the huge Yalong stopped her moving huge body as if it was tied up by something.
This was not what surprised them the most. What surprised these mercenaries even more was that behind these people, a little girl wearing a black robe with a bit of childishness revealed between her eyebrows actually sang softly. Then she pushed her hands forward, accompanied by a seemingly vague green light, Yalong let out a terrifying howl, and fell heavily as if her strength was drained.
"Magic?!!"
The mercenaries were simply shocked. You know, the magicians have noble identities, but they hardly act with the mercenaries. Because the magicians have their own guardians, it is much more convenient for them to do any task, so there is no need to contact the mercenaries in particular. But the girl at the moment is indeed a magician! A mercenary group with magicians participating? What is the origin of these people?!!
At this moment, a young blonde man suddenly jumped up, and then the long sword in his hand turned into a green light, piercing into Yalong's right eye and losing its strength. Yalong, who was bound, could not even struggle. It could only open its mouth desperately, and before it could express its anger, he left the world.
"Hey, boss, who are these guys?"
The thief felt that the sweat on his head was almost unstoppable. You know, it was a sub-dragon! Although it looked like a large lizard, was it so simple to be killed by someone who could be linked to the word "dragon". But looking at these people, it was like killing a pig, no, even simpler than killing a pig!
"You'll know if you ask."
The silent swordsman replied, then he walked out of the dense forest and walked to the people who were discussing what was beside Yalong. When the mercenaries suddenly emerged from the dense forest, the people seemed not surprised at all. They just stared at the mercenaries curiously. At this moment, the swordsman also noticed that although it was a little different, the leather armor of these people had the same badge on them, so he raised his right hand and gave a mercenary gift to the other party. The young man with blond hair also returned the salute, which strengthened the swordsman's confidence. So he walked forward quickly.
"Hello, this brother."
He stared at the blonde man in front of him and introduced himself.
"I am the leader of the Ai mercenary group, Gore. My companion and I passed by here just now. I heard Yalong's roar, so we came over to see what happened. But we didn't expect that we could meet such a powerful colleague who could even kill even Yalong. And... I was very arrogant to ask, is this lady a magician?" The swordsman said, and while he was deeply surprised, he turned his gaze to the girl in a black robe standing behind the blond boy with a timid timid attitude.
The land where Gore encountered was Yiming and his mercenary group. In order not to be recognized, Yiming changed his image and even changed the color of his hair. After leaving Azus City, he led Icefish, Lita, Lefar and others to head north and do some ordinary mercenary missions to accumulate his reputation. After all, if an unknown mercenary group suddenly appears, it will be very suspicious. Therefore, Yiming defined himself and his mercenary group as "small famous". In this way, no matter what actions they do, they will not cause any special problems.
"Hello, I am the leader of the Phantom Light Mercenary Corps."
Yi Ming did not answer the other party's question. Instead, he showed a very friendly smile. After looking at the strange-looking people, he continued proudly.
"John Smith."
"Why did Brother Yiming give such a weird name?"
Lita pulled the ice fish next to her and asked in a low voice.
"How do I know what my dad is thinking?"
Icefish obviously knows nothing about this.
Seeing this strange "mercenary group", although Gore and others did not show any special expressions on the surface, they were already secretly shocked. You know, being a mercenary is not so easy to be a mercenary. Not only does it have to face all kinds of uncontrollable dangers and traps at all times, but even nature itself is a place full of death. But at present, these young girls, the oldest, are only in their early twenties, and the youngest is only fourteen or five years old, but their strength is actually strong enough to easily peel a dragon.
Moreover, why is the only leader in this mercenary group who is a man?
Looking at the blonde boy in front of him with a relaxed and gentle smile on his face, and with their appearance, if he hadn't seen these people's battle with his own eyes, maybe Gore would have regarded them as a group of rich children who were bored and looked for exciting things. But now it's different. It's obvious that this mercenary group has strong strength. Moreover, they are still so young...
After a brief conversation, Yi Ming accidentally revealed the fact that Lita came from Azus Magic Academy, and Lita performed very well, explaining to them the "loan" treaty about the magician. Then she emphasized that she decided to join the mercenary group in order to see the outside world. She temporarily followed Yi Ming and others to act. When saying goodbye, Yi Ming easily saw that although the swordsman did not show anything clearly, his flashing eyes had already revealed his thoughts.
And this is Yi Ming's purpose.
After all, in the past, because the magicians were too expensive, the mercenary group could not afford to hire a magician. Now, hiring a magician in Azus only requires one-tenth of the reward, which obviously brought a lot of temptation to those mercenary groups. After all, if a magician could help, it would be much more convenient for them to take risks or kill enemies.
Yi Ming knew very well that a magician in a small mercenary group like himself would be a very "conspicuous" move. So wherever they went, they would definitely arouse the curiosity of other mercenaries, and this was the best opportunity to "sell" the Azus Magic Academy policy. Although Lita was young, she had the strength of a real magician after all, so although things themselves sounded a bit unimaginable. The fact that there was indeed a magician who played in the mercenary group was irreversible. So Yi Ming and others would cause a lot of sensation whenever they went. And they took on the missions all the way, moving towards the commercial city of Olds.
