A'Dai said: "We may go to the mercenary headquarters of the Red Hurricane tribe first, and then travel on the mainland. Brother Blood Skeleton, what about you?"
Blood Skeleton smiled bitterly and said: "Our mercenary group encountered such a big setback this time, and I saw the strength of the two brothers, which completely changed my previous arrogant thoughts. Hey--, I want to let the mercenary group rest first. It will take a while. I will go back to my master for further training. On the mainland, it is impossible to survive without strength. It seems that we were lucky enough to avoid accidents in the past. This time we suffered such heavy losses when we met the masters. It is really different. I am ashamed, the blood of my brothers will not be shed in vain. Those bastards of the Dark Demon Tribe, I will seek revenge on them one day. By the way, if you return to the Tiangang Sword Sect, you will give the Tiangang Sword Master to my teacher, the Northern Sword Master. Take care of him. Although they have been fighting for so many years, the Tiangang Sword Master is the only one my master admires. The master once said that the only thing he can't overcome in his life is the Tiangang Sword Master. It’s passed on to us. I’m afraid I can’t surpass you!”
A’Dai smiled sheepishly and said, “Brother, don’t say that, your fire attribute fighting spirit is still very powerful. It's just that I have better luck, so I have the skills I have now."
Blood Skeleton laughed and said: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I will hand in the task later. , I will invite you brothers to have a drink, and then we will part ways.”
At this time, Murac had already come out. He directed the workers of the caravan to start moving boxes of heavy goods into the building. After more than an hour of hard work, the goods transported by the Standi Alliance finally successfully entered the building. library, and the Skeleton Mercenary Group and the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group finally completed their missions.
Muraci walked up to a few people and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, you have worked really hard. Come and sit inside the Chamber of Commerce, and I will pay you the remuneration you deserve."
The Stan Emperor Alliance's branch in Andis City didn't look like anything special from the outside, but once inside, everyone was surprised. Not only was the place spacious, but it was also very ornately decorated. Dumb seemed to be... I saw what those big casinos looked like in the Sunset Empire. Murac smiled and said: "The Chamber of Commerce often negotiates big deals here. We have no choice but to decorate it more gorgeously. Only in this way can we show our strength and make those customers trust us more."
Murac led everyone into a large room of about thirty square meters, personally made tea for the five of them, and said sternly: "This time our Stan Emperor Chamber of Commerce Alliance was able to successfully transport the goods here. I would like to thank you all for your hard work." Please help me. I feel very sorry for the dead and injured brothers in the Skeleton Mercenary Group." He bent down and took out the things he had just prepared. They were two leather bags. He gave the smaller bag to Xuan Yue. Said: "The two captains have made great efforts in this operation. I promised you two thousand gold coins as a reward before, but it is really too little. Here are forty-five diamond coins, plus the previous payment. The five diamond coins total five thousand gold coins. If our chamber of commerce needs anything in the future, we will have to rely on these two Dali."
A'Dai said: "President Murac, how can we ask for so much money from you. What? Since we agreed on one thousand gold coins in advance, we will keep the original amount."
Muraci shook his head and said, "Don't refuse, the two captains, the extra part will be given to you by the chamber of commerce. "The bonus." He didn't wait for Ah-Dai to speak again, and immediately picked up another bag and handed it to the Blood Skull, "Captain Blood, here are three hundred diamond coins. The reward we agreed on in advance was 20,000 gold coins, and we have already paid it to you." The group needs 100 diamond coins as a deposit, plus these, the total is 40,000 diamond coins. Don’t refuse, Captain Blood. The loss of your group this time is beyond our expectation. With this extra money, even if we are right. You must accept a little respect from those warriors who sacrificed their lives.”
The Blood Skeleton sighed and took the money bag, thinking, no matter how much money there is, it will not be of any use, as it cannot exchange for the lives of my brothers! "President Mu, thank you very much. Since the task has been completed, I won't stay here any longer. There are still many things to arrange in the group. Brother Dumb, are you leaving?"
Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue hurriedly said goodbye to Murac, and Murac personally sent the five people out of the chamber of commerce. When he said goodbye, he was so sad that he seemed to be reluctant to part with the five of them.
After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Blood Skull ordered his men to gather together and said to Iron Skull: "Third brother, you give fifty diamond coins to these brothers. Today is a day off and let them relax and relax. , We will gather at the West City Gate early tomorrow morning, and we will return to the headquarters immediately." Upon hearing that the Blood Skull was going to give them a holiday, the members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group immediately cheered. They have been living in fear for the past month. , I can finally relax, how can I not be happy.
Dumb looked at the mercenaries who were gradually dispersing, and said to the bloody skeleton: "President Murac is really nice, he is a person with deep feelings! He actually gave us so much more money this time, no wonder you will keep talking to him He is cooperating."
The Blood Skeleton snorted and said: "Brother, you are still too young. That old guy Murac is a standard old fox. The reason why he is good to us is because of him. It's useful to us, and it's so artificial to make better use of our efforts for him. If you can't bring him benefits, he will never pay attention to you. Don't forget, he is a businessman. If I guessed. Yes, the goods shipped by the Stan Emperor Chamber of Commerce Alliance this time are probably worth more than ten million gold coins. The money we get is nothing, to me, it is just something that brings a good life to my brothers. We paid five hundred lives and forty thousand gold coins for this operation, hum."
Looking at the blood skeleton's sad eyes, Ah-Dai said sadly: "It seems that being a mercenary is not easy. Ah! You are making money with your own life.”
Ice Skeleton walked to Blood Skull and whispered: "Brother, don't be sad, everything has happened."
Blood Skeleton murmured: "Yes! Everything has happened, I There's no point in being sad. Well, the third child is back, let's go and find a place to have a few drinks."
After dismissing the mercenaries, the five of them wandered slowly on the street. Walking towards Andis City, the people in Andis City were just as Xuan Yue said, everyone was in a hurry and looked very busy, and no one noticed them.
"It's right there." Blood Skeleton pointed at a tavern not far ahead.
The five people walked into the tavern. It was still morning and there were not many people in the tavern. The Blood Skeleton looked at the simple decoration around him and said to Dumb and Xuan Yue: "It's not that the eldest brother is stingy, our skeleton mercenary group I’m afraid I won’t be able to take on the mission for the time being. Since I have no source of income, I have to save some money. Waiter, give us five cups of tequila and some side dishes.”
Since there are few customers, The food and drinks came quickly. The Blood Skeleton picked up his wine glass and said, "It's time to part ways. Come on, two brothers, I'll toast you a toast as a farewell." Ah-Dai had drank a few times before, but It was just a taste. Xuan Yue was from the Holy See and had never even touched wine. Looking at the light blue wine in front of them and smelling the fragrant fragrance, they both picked up the wine glasses. The Blood Skeleton drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, a blush appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Happy."
Dui also wanted to imitate the blood skeleton and drink up the wine, but as soon as the fragrant-smelling wine hit his mouth, an unusually strong spicy smell suddenly made him choked and couldn't drink it, and he coughed violently. Xuan Yue was even worse than Ah-Dai. Although she drank less, her pretty face turned red from choking, she bent over and coughed loudly, and even shed tears. Seeing their appearance, the Blood Skeleton was stunned at first, and then laughed. The Iron Skeleton and the always cold Ice Skeleton also couldn't help but laugh, and laughed along with them.
The blood skeleton smiled and said: "Although we are not as good as you in kung fu, you are far behind in drinking."
Xuan Yue finally calmed down her breath and panted. Said: "Ah! Blood...skeleton...brother...you...want...to kill...us!...What...something...is this! It's hard...to drink to death... "Dai said with lingering fear: "Why does this wine taste so strong? I just drank a little, and my chest felt like it was on fire. "
Iron Skull said: "Tequila is a famous liquor. My eldest brother is a master of wine and he practices Fire Nightmare Qi. Of course it's no problem to drink one glass at a time. Haven't you ever drank alcohol before?"
Xuan Yue pushed the wine glass in front of the blood skeleton and said: "I, I don't want to drink this thing anymore. It tastes so bad. It turns out that this is the taste of wine!"
< br>Iron Skull took off his helmet. His hair and eyebrows had grown a little these days. He took a sip of his wine and praised: "You won't enjoy it. The taste of this tequila is still there." It’s really pure, not bad, brother, if you don’t want to drink it, you can just give him this cup to me.”
The Blood Skeleton glared at him and said, "What? Do you want to have a drinking contest with me, your elder brother? Have you forgotten the lesson learned last time?"
The Iron Skeleton was obviously inferior to the Blood Skeleton in terms of drinking capacity, he said sarcastically : "Only a ghost is willing to drink with you. I almost drank to death last time. Fourth sister, take off your helmet too. Brother Dumb and the others are not outsiders. Why are you drinking with your helmet on!"
Two clear eyes shot out from under the ice skull's helmet, and he glanced at Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue. Then he slowly raised his hands and took off his helmet, revealing his stunning beauty.
Seeing the appearance of the ice skeleton, Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue were stunned. It was an unusually white face, with green eyes showing deep light. Although there was no expression on her face, her exquisite facial features coupled with her cold and unique temperament made her look as moving as a fairy in the ice. Xuan Yue murmured: "Sister, you are so beautiful! Why do you always wear a helmet?"
Ice Skull said lightly: "I don't want my members to see my appearance. I don’t want them to listen to my orders because of my appearance, or have any ill intentions. I became the deputy leader of the Skeleton Mercenary Group based on my strength.” After a pause, Ice Skeleton’s clear eyes fell on Dumb. On his face, he continued: "Ah-Dai, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. When we first met, what method did you use to defeat me? I have been thinking about it for more than a month, but I still don't understand it."
A'Dai stared at the ice skull's delicate dimples in shock. Her temperament was even colder than ice. The cold light in her eyes reminded him of the appearance of ice. He was so stunned that he could not speak. .
Xuan Yue thought that Ah-Dai was fascinated by the appearance of the ice skull, so she pinched his leg hard. The severe pain immediately woke up Ah-Dai from his daze. He screamed in pain and looked at Xuan Yue, "Brother, why are you pinching me?" Xuan Yue glared at him angrily and said, "Sister Ice Skull is asking you. What are you talking about, why are you staring at her? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?”
A-Dai scratched his head and said sadly: “Sister Ice Skull looks like a friend from before. I didn’t mean to do that. What are you asking?"
Xuan Yue's heart tightened, and she clearly realized that the friend Dui was talking about must be the girl named Bing represented by the statue in his arms.
Ice Skull was slightly stunned when he saw Dumb's look, and said: "I was asking you just now, what method did you use to defeat me back then. You were clearly opposite me, how could you suddenly run behind me? In front of me In my impression, no one can defeat me with just one move, not even the master."
A-Dai raised his head, looked at the familiar cold temperament of Ice Skull, and murmured: "Actually, I succeeded in one fell swoop that day by relying on the ability of the equipment. I am really not sure that I can beat you within three moves."
The Blood Skeleton and Iron Skeleton were aroused by Dumb's words. , "Utensils? What utensils?"
Duan said: "I have an item on my body that can create a clone. The clone can have half of my abilities. This device also has the ability to teleport three times in one day. I just use these two functions of it to use the clone from the front. Attracting Sister Ice Skull’s attention, I succeeded by teleporting behind her. Because of my speed, no one saw it.”
The three skeletons were stunned, although Dumb explained the uniform. But they still couldn't understand Ice Skull's method. They all wanted to know what could have such an effect.
Ice Skull's cold face changed, and he said in surprise: "Is there such a thing on the mainland? How come I haven't heard of it before."
Ah-Dai showed the Coris's Wish on his right wrist, gently stroked the energy-flowing artifact, and said lightly: "This wristband is called Coris's Wish, and it was left to me by my teacher before he died."
The three skeletons were shocked, and at the same time they lost their voices: "What? Tiangang Sword Master is dead?".
Dumb was stunned, remembering the instructions given to him by Tiangang Sword Master, he shook his head and said: "No, it's my other teacher. He is the greatest alchemist on the continent. He used his own life to refine I named this wristband after his old man. "The wish of Coris is as important as the living Coris in Ah-Dai's heart.
Ice Skull murmured: "So that's it. Ah-Dai, let me ask you, if you try your best to compete with me, how many moves can defeat me."
Ah-Dai hesitated for a moment, looking at it expectantly. He replied to the Ice Skull, "If you don't use any equipment, it will take about ten moves." The equipment he mentioned was of course referring to the Pluto Sword, which has the most powerful attack power, and not Coris's Wish. In fact, he was being conservative. With his current skill, if he used all his strength, five moves would be enough.
A sad smile appeared on the ice skull's face, "Ten moves, just ten moves! I have practiced hard for more than ten years, but I can only support ten moves."
Blood Skeleton patted Ice Skeleton on the shoulder and sighed: "Forget it, little sister, Brother Dumb is incomparable to us. By the way, Brother Dumb, I have always wanted to ask you, who is better between you and Brother Xuanri? How do you feel? "You guys should be on the same level. Which one is stronger in martial arts or magic?"
A'Dai was stunned and looked at Xuan Yue beside him, and Xuan Yue also looked at him. The two of them shook their heads at the same time, and Dui said: "We have never really fought, and I don't know who is stronger. Only when life and death are at stake can we show our true strength. We are best friends, so how can we really treat each other?" How about fighting like that? I think Brother Xuanri is stronger. He is one of the most powerful magicians I have ever seen." Xuan Yue suddenly showed a smile when she heard her sweetheart's praise. "Actually, this question is difficult to answer. Magic and martial arts are two different things. However, Brother Dumb's attack power is very strong. If I want to fight him, I must find an opportunity to cast a spell first. Otherwise, I'm afraid the spell will be cast before the spell is recited. Defeated. Brother Ah-Dai is still stronger in terms of overall strength. After all, he still has..." At this point, Xuan Yue realized that she had said too much and stopped quickly. What she wanted to say was that there was Shengxie who could help Ah-Dai. .
The three blood skeletons were not stupid, and they couldn't help but gasp. They all clearly understood the meaning of Xuan Yue's words. Dumb still had a secret weapon that he hadn't used yet! Just when they were surprised at how powerful Ah-Dai was, the door of the tavern opened, and three people in mercenary uniforms walked in. At first glance, they all seemed to be warriors who were good at martial arts. The mercenary logo on their chests was particularly obvious, and they looked toward Ah-Dai. The five people glanced at the table, walked to the table next to them and sat down.
Iron Skull murmured: "It's really rare that there are people coming to drink like us at this time! Brother Dumb, since you are not used to drinking strong alcohol, I will give you some juice to drink."
Xuan Yue hurriedly agreed: "Okay! Brother Dumb and I each want a glass of lime juice. It looks similar to tequila. Just now I thought they tasted similar. Who knows... Now. My head is a little dizzy. Did you drink it?”
The blood skeleton smiled slightly, poured the tequila that Xuan Yue pushed over just now into his cup, took a sip, and said: " How can fruit juice taste better than wine? Brother, you really don’t know how to enjoy it! It’s better for men to practice drinking.”
Xuan Yue smiled bitterly with lingering fear: "It's better not to enjoy this kind of enjoyment. Sweet juice is better to drink. I don't need a lot of alcohol."
Bing Skull glanced at Xuan Yue, his eyes showing A strange look.
The three mercenaries who came in later ordered a few beers and chatted while drinking. Their voices were so loud that Dumb and others could hear them clearly without paying special attention.
"Boss, it's better not to take on missions from the Magician's Guild in the future. It's thankless. We can't afford to offend both sides. Why bother for a few dollars?"
The mercenary known as Boss said: "Hey——, I also know that it is difficult to make money from the Magician Guild, but the world is in a recession now. Those businessmen are too shrewd and the tasks they propose are so difficult. It is difficult for the Yajin clan to make money! If we don't become magicians What can we brothers eat because of the union’s mission? I’m afraid we can’t even afford to drink.”
“But, boss, these two magician unions have publicly stated that no one is allowed to sell ordinary magic stones to each other. It's too difficult for us to be caught in the middle. If the Magician's Guild of the Tianjin Empire knew that we were secretly helping the Mainland Magician's Guild to transport magic stones, I'm afraid they wouldn't let us go, even if we just had a higher-level magician. It’s not something we can deal with.”
The mercenary who had been silent said: "Well, that makes sense, boss. I think we should not help the mainland magician union transport magic stones for the time being. Recently, the conflicts between the two magician unions have become more and more intense. Last time, They started fighting to snatch a high-level magician. The sky was full of light and rain, but it destroyed many houses. If the leader of the Yajin tribe hadn't stopped their conflict in time, most of Andis City would have been destroyed. It was destroyed in their hands."
Lao Dadao: "Okay, since we have some savings recently, we will rest for a few days and wait until the storm has passed."
Listen. After what they said, Xuan Yue stuck out her tongue and said to Dumb: "Brother, you are so right! It seems that the two magician unions have reached the point of incompatibility."
Blood Skeleton asked in confusion: "Where did the two magician unions come from?" Xuan Yue explained to him in a low voice, and then the three skeletons came over.
The Blood Skeleton said: "Brother Xuanri, aren't you a priest of the Holy See? What does the Magician's Guild have to do with you? I saw you seemed a little nervous just now."
Xuan Yue smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "It's not me who is nervous, it's Brother Ah-Dai who is nervous. Although I am a priest, Brother Ah-Dai is an intermediate magician from the Mainland Magician Union. Both sides are magician organizations. Of course he is in trouble. "Isn't that right, brother?" As she said this, she poked Dumb.
Dui smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! Logically speaking, I should help the mainland magician union, but the number of magicians is so rare now. If the two sides conflict, death and injury will be inevitable, which may not be conducive to the development of the magician profession. This is The last thing I want to see is."
Ice Skeleton said in surprise: "Are you also a magician? Why are you distracted from learning magic when your martial arts skills are so high?"
Xuan. Yue smiled and answered the question for Ah-Dai, "My eldest brother is not only a magician, but also half an alchemist. He learned magic and alchemy first, and then martial arts. Of course, his martial arts are stronger now. , but when he first entered the mainland, he received a monthly salary from the Magician’s Guild. It can be said that he received benefits from others. I’m afraid it’s not good to stay out of it at this time.”
The Blood Skeleton took a sip of tequila and said with a smile: "Brother Dumb surprised us a lot! Since you have a relationship with the Magician's Guild, do you care about the conflict between the two parties?"
A'Dai shook his head and said: "Even if I want to take care of it, I am powerless! What's more, I don't want to hurt anyone."
Xuan Yue changed the subject and said: "Brother Blood Skeleton, I also have a question. I want to ask you, since you are the descendants of the Northern Sword Master, why don’t you use swords?”
The blood skeleton smiled and said: "Isn't it true that Ah-Dai doesn't use a sword?"
Ah-Dai scratched his head and said: "I'm too stupid, I can't remember the complicated sword moves, and the master said that his skill has reached a certain level. From now on, moves are not important. Only deep skill is the key to victory or defeat, so he didn’t teach me swordsmanship.”
The Blood Skeleton nodded and said, “Well, your master said. That's right, the reason why the four of us senior brothers and sisters didn't learn the swordsmanship from our master is because we don't have enough skills. My Fire Nightmare Dou Qi was directly passed down from my master. He said that he would teach me the swordsmanship only after I break through to a certain level. The master is very knowledgeable, and his skill can be enough for us to practice for a lifetime. After leaving here, I decided to go back to the mountain to receive the master's teachings and see if I can make a breakthrough. Otherwise, if this continues, the Skeleton Mercenary Group will be destroyed. I’m afraid it will disappear.”
Ice Skull said: "Brother, I will go back to the mountain with you. Dumb, although we are already friends, I will always remember the time you defeated me with one move. When I am confident that I can defeat you, I will definitely do it again." Let me compete with you. I don’t believe that my Ji Bing Qi is inferior to your Sheng Sheng Qi.”
A’Dai said helplessly: “Sister Ice Skull, why are you so obsessed with winning? Is it really that important?"
Bing Skeleton lowered his head and said nothing, Blood Skeleton patted his sister on the shoulder and said: "Bing Bing, you are too old. You can't just waste time on martial arts without finding a partner. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get married.”
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "Sister Ice Skeleton is still very young! There is no need to be so anxious."
Blood Skeleton said: "She is already twenty-three. Ordinary girls at her age would have I have a child."
Ice Skeleton suddenly raised his head, glanced at Dumb strangely, and said lightly: "Brother, when I entered the master's door, I swore not to marry anyone who was not a sword master. ."
Dumb was stunned and said: "However, the current sword masters are old, so I'm afraid they are not suitable."
The blood skeleton looked at the ice skeleton, and then at the iron skeleton with a livid face. , sighing: "The strength of a sword master is easier said than done! Among the younger generation, probably only Brother Dumb can achieve it in a short time." Due to Iron Skull's face, he couldn't say it in detail, so he could only hint invisibly that he was to Ah-Dai is very fond of him. If Ah-Dai can become his brother-in-law, it will be very easy for the Skeleton Mercenary Group to surpass the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group. What’s more, from what they have learned these days, the Blood Skeleton’s attitude towards Ah-Dai’s character I am also very relieved that it may be the best choice for my precious sister to marry him.
Duan was dull and did not understand the meaning of the Blood Skull’s words, but Xuan Yue understood it, became wary, and said: “Brother Blood Skeleton, it’s getting late, I still want to talk to you Dumb, let’s go to the Magician’s Guild to see what’s going on there. We’ll meet again later.”
The blood skeleton was stunned and said: "Brother, why are you leaving in a hurry! The Magician's Guild can't fly."
A'Dai didn't understand why Xuan Yue was so anxious, "Brother, we really want to go to the Magician's Guild." A union?"
Xuan Yue said: "Of course I want to go, you forgot what I told you before. You can't escape when you encounter something, you have to face it to improve your abilities. Brother, I'm sorry, this mission of protecting the Stan Emperor Alliance has delayed us for a long time. We have to leave. I think we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Seeing that Xuan Yue was determined to leave, Blood Skull couldn't stop him anymore. He stood up and said, "Okay, you guys should be careful all the way. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will compare our skills."
Iron Skull is eager for Dumb. Leave quickly. Although he is not a smart person, he also understands that Blood Skeleton intends to bring Dumb and Ice Skull together. It is of course a good thing to drive away his love rival. He stood up, drank all the tequila in his glass, and said: "Two brothers, our mountains will remain green and our waters will flow forever. We will meet again in the future. Take care."
The words have been spoken. At this point, Ah-Dai couldn't stay any longer, so he had to stand up, exchange a few polite words with each other, and leave the tavern with Xuan Yue. Watching their leaving figures, Blood Skeleton sent a message to Ice Skull: "Sister, you gave up a good opportunity! Why didn't you keep him just now? Although Dumb's appearance is not very outstanding, he is definitely A person who is suitable for you to entrust for your whole life. With his skill, it is not an exaggeration to get the title of Sword Master. If you can marry him, eldest brother will be relieved."
