Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 23 Bloody Vengeance
"Similar to the sea warriors who once guarded the sea pillars? Just on the shore." Kanas rubbed the ring he had given him before. "Okay, I'll take this one too. I haven't fought against opponents from the mainland yet.
, the group of rotten rotten flesh before was too weak."
The captain breathed a sigh of relief. "To be honest, I have my own worries. I can return to the sea at any time here. After I have my worries, I can no longer go on as before when I was young."
"Are you concerned?" Kanas stood up. "Anyway, who am I going to meet there now? Humans hired a group of adventurers to solve this matter? They were the ones who called for assassins yesterday."
"It seems to be a place called the Mercenary Industry Company. Adventurers and mercenaries representing the human side can be found here. I don't quite understand this phrase. In short, they are similar to warriors. The magic communication device that is directly connected to the palace record officer is
There are also mercenary companies, so if you have the opportunity, just contact them. The power of the people on the mainland who are called magicians is similar to the ability of the Tidecaller, so please pay more attention to this."
"Is there any token? Forget it, so who should I go to? Give me a name? A place?" Kanas asked.
"The number of arms is the best token. You should have written a task request in Common Language and Sea Clan language now. Just tear up the request and ask a human behind the wooden cabinet."
"I know." Kanas turned around and left. After activating the illusion equipment, he asked for directions and went to the mercenary industry.
Omitting the greeting process, five people including Chester arrived at the Mercenary Industrial Bank and had already discussed the matter. The deposit was one hundred linseys, not counting Naga and the additional 40 linseys given by ICBC. Thanks
The rituals are two third-level magical scrolls - the secondary spirit and flesh repair technique, which is a spell that can resurrect a person who has just died.
"Finally we have money. The little Lindsay we had before probably won't last long," Hitz sighed.
"That's a lot of money..." Alexander scratched his head. "So how much relevant information is there about the mission?" Then the lady at the counter handed her a paper document.
The first material is called Misfortune Star Grass, which grows in the Yiji Rock ruins outside the Desolate Forest. This place is entrenched in quite strong negative energy.
The second material is called Rafflesia angustifolia, which grows at the overflow of Lake Mayeho in the deepest part of the Wild Forest. It is an aggressive plant.
Finally, there are the eggs of the bluegill fish. This fish spawns near the rocks in the shallow sea of Zianliu Island, but there is no specific location on the chart provided by ICBC.
Yiji Rock is a giant upside-down underground pyramid with a large number of golems and puppet soldiers inside. It is believed to have been developed by a previously destroyed civilization.
The area around Mayuehuo Lake is not completely safe for A-level mercenary groups, so it is more dangerous for B-level mercenary groups, but the Thirteenth Mad Wolf Mercenary Group is almost A. Here are the standards
The deserted forest terrain is equivalent to a deeper location on the outside from Gutable Town. The strongest monster here should be the same as the scorpion, so we can go there for the time being.
But the last fish egg is now unavailable due to ocean currents.
Alexander looked at the map to plan the route. The optimal route is to return to the original route and disembark halfway, and then take a steam-powered car directly to the Aren't Forest. This is the fastest route, but of course the tickets and boat tickets will still be reimbursed.
"Well, it seems that the fastest way is the way we came. We've already walked it once, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Although Alexander didn't walk all the way, the car must have taken the main road, so it shouldn't be a problem.
"You can just make arrangements. I don't know anything about things on the shore." Kanas didn't care, but he didn't expect to see another elf now, but he didn't look at it much.
"When are you leaving? Now?" Fageni asked, and then the counter lady added that Bishop Slovin also left a message here, inviting Alexander and others to have a seafood barbecue tonight. And it is currently noon.
, several people haven’t had lunch yet.
"Barbecuing? You mean roasting with fire? I've heard of fire." When Kanas was in the sea, they were all eaten raw.
"Yes, it's pretty much what you said." Fageni nodded in agreement.
"The bishop gave us one hundred and thirty linsey activity funds. We were reluctant to refuse at first. But the task is very urgent..." Alexander hesitated. "What do you think?"
"Anyway, it's a free day. Then the bishop asked us to have a barbecue, maybe it's not just a barbecue." Fageni's thinking became more flexible at this time.
"It's a good thing that it's not just a barbecue. I'm afraid it's really just a barbecue." Alexander thought about the bishop's big belly, and was afraid that it was really the case.
"One day shouldn't have much impact on the mission." Fageni added, seemingly craving for barbecue.
"A day can be said to be long or short. At times like this..." Alexander took out a coin. "Just look at this!" She thought that if it came up heads, she would go have a barbecue, but the result was also heads. "
Okay. Let’s get the money to go shopping in the afternoon and leave tomorrow.”
"Okay." Fageni nodded. As for Chester, what objection could a child have?
After nightfall, Bishop Slovin warmly entertained a few people, but it was just a real seafood barbecue and some words of thanks. By the way, he also helped them buy tickets for the boat that would leave tomorrow morning.
Very fresh vegetables, livestock, and seafood are skewered with iron skewers, then sprinkled with spices and tonic wine specially prepared by the bishop, and finally grilled. Since some seafood is sea animal meat that contains magical power, plus the tonic wine, it can significantly
The earth strengthens the body, which is one of the reasons why the bishop is so fat.
For Alexander and Naga, the new experience greatly stimulated their taste buds.
"I didn't know razorfish and dog shark meat could be cooked this way." Kanas held six hands full of barbecued meat and ate it, his mouth dripping with oil. Fageni beside him also ate a lot.
Heath and Chester were more reserved, mainly eating vegetables.
After boarding the steam battleship again and transferring to a military steam four-wheeler on the way, the group came to the gate of Sima City again. Even if it was the first time Naga arrived, it could be seen that something was wrong with the atmosphere. A large number of steam battleships were equipped with curses.
The artillery was fired and headed towards the border of Ankuiku, and a tense and restless atmosphere filled the city.
"Well..." Alexander looked around, waiting to enter the city.
"Is this a war? Is there a war within humanity?" Kanas asked.
"It doesn't seem right?" Hitz actually didn't know very well, but how can a war be fought so easily?
"Aren't Ankuiku and Bakato two allies?" Fageni was confused, and Chester also shook his head with an unclear expression.
The procedures for entering the city have become extremely troublesome. Fortunately, the Thirteenth Mad Wolf Mercenary Regiment is affiliated to the Countercurrent Trading Company, which avoids the trouble caused by the trip from Ankuiku - part of it. There are still routine inspections.
Alexander did not plan to inquire about this matter at the city gate, and planned to discuss it after entering the city.
When the five people entered the city, they heard rumors among the residents of the city on the road. The first guess was that the group planning to assassinate Princess Baini were assassins commissioned by Anguiku to assassinate her, and they entered the city as mercenaries.
The group of people knew very well that this was not the case, but the nobles of Bakato acquiesced in such rumors without clarifying them. The intention was already obvious.
Not only that, there are those who are eager to fight, those who want to benefit from the muddy waters, and those who are ignorant and follow the trend. About one and a half percent of the general public are mobilizing privately and even planning to join the army.
In the past, this absurd behavior would not have been allowed, but now a militia group has been specially formed to conduct shooting training. These newly developed weapons are not directed at Warcraft, but at their kin.
Alexander felt very bad and went straight to the Mercenary Guild, intending to inquire about the mission information, and then went to the Countercurrent Trading Company to inquire about other things.
"This is really a fight against an ally..." Fageni muttered in a low voice and followed Alexander.
"Hurry up, I feel like I can't stay here for long." Alexander quickened his pace.
"Your human politics are really complicated." Kanas said while secretly recording all the information about Princess Baini.
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm not a human being." Hitz immediately put aside racial discrimination.
"Are you ready to massacre your fellow humans, humans?" Kanas sneered.
"This is a pretext for war, huh, human beings." Hitz is well-educated, what can others say.
The group of people arrived at the Mercenary Industry Company. The hall that was originally crowded here was now empty of people. They had either gone to the Aren't Forest or joined the militia group to gain merit.
Alexander picked up a collection task by the way, and Xiz's knowledge was enough to complete it quickly. "Let's go to the trading house."
Several people arrived at the trading house. Heath and Alexander knew the location of the store that sold the medicine they planned to buy.
"Fagoni, how about going to the drug store with me?" Hitz asked.
"Huh? Okay." Fageni nodded meaninglessly, just working as a coolie.
"I'll go with you too. I haven't visited many human cities." Kanas volunteered.
"There's not much to see in a human city. You'll get used to it after seeing it too much." Fageni smiled.
After Alexander revealed his identity and purpose of visit, he asked to see the supervisor and asked about the information on the massacre village he had previously commissioned to investigate. He also exchanged the relevant information he knew.
The first floor of Niqiu Trading Company was very large, and Hitz led the other two people towards the store they were planning to visit.
Chester followed Alexander upstairs. Through the second intelligence clue given by Alexander, after investigation, it was discovered that Black-Eyed Charlotte's lair was actually inside the Forest of Desolation. Because there was only one person, there was no way to carry enough
medicine, and the scouts who were not good at frontal combat could not continue to follow, but the last location the scouts tracked was only two kilometers away from Yiji Rock. Having said this, the supervisor pointed behind Alexander.
Alexander looked back. "What's wrong?"
The expressionless Chester's eyes changed again. His palms were pierced by nails due to the clenching of his hands, and blood flowed out. His facial muscles were stiff, possibly due to excessive breathing, but he was still conscious.
