Chapter 221 On the road
In the end, Yi Ming and others were not driven out. After all, in the battle with the idiot swordsman, although it was just one blow, it was enough for the mercenaries around to see the strength of the team that temporarily joined them. You should know that although Hackley was young and simple, his limbs were quite developed and his swordsman had reached a very high level. What's more, the long sword in his hand was specially created by the dwarf craftsman to cooperate with the swordsman. Although it cannot be said to be extremely sharp, it is always no problem to cut iron like mud. Moreover, this sword did give him a lot of help during the boy's adventure, and even saved his life several times. But now, the sword was almost easily broken by the ice fish?!
And, what weapon did she use?
"teacher………"
Cuffes looked at the young man walking listlessly in front of him, and the iron sword that he temporarily used to replace, and then lowered his head and whispered to the old man beside him.
"What do you think?"
"Um…………"
The old man opened his eyes slightly and frowned.
"From the technique of that girl, she should be using weapons like lines. I have to say that I have never seen anyone use such weapons. But it is obvious that since they can be so unique, they must have considerable skills and strength. Pay attention to them and be careful of them. You should understand that our mission this time is not allowed to fail. It is always good to get more help."
"Yes, teacher."
While responding, Cuffes secretly looked at Yiming and others following behind them. At this moment, Yiming was saying something to the little magician with a gentle smile. The beautifully decorated long sword in his hand was carried on the shoulders by the boy. It seemed that he didn't care about it. The strange girl was still holding the book and reading it attentively. She seemed to be completely unwilling to care about the road in front of her, nor was she worried about falling down because of it. And Lefal... I have to say that she has indeed changed a lot. Now she can follow the little magician silently and keep her duties carefully. Instead of wandering around, she can tell that she is no longer the innocent little devil who took everything for granted.
Yi Ming carried his weapons casually, walking leisurely in the team, while carefully observing the mercenaries around him.
And at this moment, Coffis had turned around and walked to his ground.
"Captain John, I want to talk to you about this mission."
"Aren't you going to the dark valley?"
Yi Ming was slightly stunned, as if he was a little surprised.
"But because the incident happened suddenly. Coupled with the misunderstanding just now, I haven't had time to tell you more specific..."
While saying that, Kuffith carefully observed the man in front of him. His movements were not at all coordinated, and he had no sense of self-protection. Kuffith was sure that if he took action now, he would not have to spend any effort to subdue the other party. But because of this, this sense of confidence became her fear, just like the instinctive fear that a person holding a wooden stick could rush out a dragon that could not wake up. The unreality was like the tension of a cold snake wandering behind him, which was obvious. This was unprepared. If he was not a fool, then he was a dangerous person. It was obvious. Judging from the team he led, this man obviously belonged to the latter.
"Of course, our destination is the Dark Canyon. Although it may be a bit late now, I still want to remind you that our mission this time is very dangerous, and it may even be..." Kufes said halfway, and didn't know how to continue. Originally, this kind of thing should have been explained clearly before departure, but due to the urgent time, Hackley had such a troublesome thing, so Kufes didn't have time to explain it to everyone until he got on the road. But now, looking at their appearance, it seems that they don't care what he and others are doing in Dark Canyon?
"Actually it doesn't matter whether you tell us it or not."
Yi Ming said, and raised his sword and knocked his shoulder.
"Since you said there would be danger from the beginning and we agreed to act together, you don't need to worry about the next thing. Miss Coffith, I am also the leader of a mercenary group, and I hope you can trust my strength. Of course, I hope to have the reward I deserve reasonably and fairly." Yi Ming's words have created an image of extreme arrogance and confidence. Moreover, he politely implied that Coffith could not stump them no matter what danger it is. All you have to do is to prepare the reward.
"this…………"
Cuffes was speechless for a moment, and she didn't expect that the young man named John in front of her would say this. What a joke? Even if he didn't think about himself, wouldn't he think about the girls behind him? Or... he has enough confidence to think that these girls can withstand those dangerous existences?
Kufes frowned. It is hard to say how strong the Ice Fish and the girl wrapped in a black magician robe were. But Kufes was still a little confident in his heart. Even if her strength can be improved now, with her talent, it is impossible for her to make a leaps and bounds to have the ability to survive in the Dark Canyon. Of course, I heard that after the Guardian and the Magician signed a contract, they could get some special power, maybe... But even so, it is unlikely?
With this doubt, Coffis was thinking all the way. You must know that she may not care about other people, but she must not care about Lefar. She is Coffis's sister, and at this time, she will always leave some selfishness.
Looking at Kufez who was in silence and walking quickly, Yiming's mouth curled slightly, then he slowed down and came to Lafar's side. He patted her shoulder lightly.
"Ah?!! Alas? Yi... Commander, what's wrong with you when you ask me?"
Lefal, who was talking to Lita, was suddenly startled, and then she hurriedly turned around and looked back. After seeing Yiming's kind smile that was almost harmless, she couldn't help but shivered. Even when she pretended to be a mercenary group, Yiming did not relax her training. On the contrary, because she had more time, Yiming's "destroying" Lefal was constantly renovated. Sometimes she was chased by the demon leopards in the mountains and forests, or threw it directly into the bottomless swamp. She was just left with a wooden stick for her. Of course, more often, Lefal was beaten by Yiming and could not even climb up. The only luck was that because Meyalie was not by her side, Lefal was finally able to be freed from the infinite cycle hell hell that had been before.
But now, she has long lost the domineering and confidence she had at the beginning, and replaced it with fear and a little bit of awe. After all, in the real battle, Lafar could clearly feel the outstanding effect of the hell-style training she had received.
"Listen, Lafar..."
Yiming put one hand on Lefal's shoulder and leaned into her. Then he said something to Lefal with a strange smile. This made Lefal slightly stunned, and then her eyes quickly ignited the fighting spirit and looked at the back of Kufes in front.
"I understand. I will work hard. Leader."
She replied firmly, but somewhat irrepressibly excitedly.
In fact, Yi Ming had already guessed Coffith’s idea. In his small group, Coffith did not pay attention to the mighty magician Lita who might become their powerful support, nor did he observe the ice fish that had already shown his strength. Instead, he often paid attention to Lafar. Obviously, the person who was most worried was her. In cooperation with the two of them when they met, Yi Ming was sure that the relationship between these two people was not simple. But judging from Kuffith’s appearance, she did not want Lafar to go to the dark valley. But in this situation, they needed help and it was impossible to drive Yi Ming and others away. As the saying goes, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. If Coffith wanted Lafar to withdraw, he had to find another way.
Sure enough, after a day of trekking and coming to the Bai Zhan Plain in front of the Dark Canyon, Kufez visited again while the mercenaries were all setting up camp. This time, her goal was obvious and no longer obvious.
"Lefal, we haven't practiced for a long time, let me see how your strength has improved?"
As expected.
Yi Ming smiled coldly.
The most convenient way is to beat her to life...what is wrong, and she cannot fight. In this way, Lefar had to withdraw from the middle. Although this decision was quite cruel, it was obviously considered quite kind to save a life.
But Yi obviously had a different idea from Kufez.
He doesn't think Lafar is incompetent.
On the contrary, he also believed that he could just look at the real strength of this female mercenary leader in the battle with Kuffith. Last time, her opponent, Mealli, was too strong, and before Yiming could even see clearly, Mealli had already ended the battle. Of course, there was nothing to tell, but Lefal was different. As long as she saw how she dealt with Lefal, she would definitely be able to master the strength of Cuffith.
And Lefar will definitely be able to gain new experiences and lessons in this showdown.
Thinking of this, Yi Ming nodded slightly to Lafar, who was staring at him with inquiring eyes. Lafar immediately stood up and then raised the long sword in his hand.
"Okay! Sister! I will definitely not let you down!"
She has really changed.
Kuffith sighed. If it were in the past, Lafar would definitely say that she could not beat her and then give up. But now, is she so confident that she can meet her own challenges? Perhaps, her decision was a mistake. As a swordsman, she had to hone in danger before she could grow. Perhaps, her ideas should be respected... Thinking of this, Kuffith shook her head.
No, there are only two heirs in the family. If I die, at least there is Lefal. And if Lefal lives like me, and lives this dangerous life every day, what if there is something, what should the family do?
Thinking of this, she held the hilt of the sword and looked at Lefal silently.
