Volume 2 Part-time Holidays Chapter 1 Jacques Mercenary Corps
The north wind roared and snowflakes flew, as if the earth was covered with thick cotton wool overnight.
With the sudden arrival of heavy snow and the sharp cooling of the weather, many people's scheduled trips had to be temporarily put on hold.
However, the mission of the Jacques Mercenary Group did not stop due to the sudden bad weather. A team of 8 braved the cold wind and snow and embarked on the journey with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After tightening his coat, Nirak raised his head slightly, and a cold wind blew towards his face with snow flakes. Nirak quickly closed his eyes and lowered his head. The cold snow flakes hit his eyes, and Nirak couldn't help but
He shivered and hurriedly used the Xuanyin Art to get rid of the coldness.
"This damn weather..." Nilac muttered in a low voice.
As if hearing his muttering, Bruce, the leader of the group, turned around and said with a smile: "How's it going, Nilac, can you still hold on? Traveling in this kind of weather is indeed a bit difficult for you newcomers."
Bruce's voice was still so powerful through the thick mask. Nilac nodded and replied: "No problem, captain. The weather is a bit cold here, but I'm on my way to warm up."
"Giggle, our little Nilak is still a man. Alva, little Nilak is much better than you were back then..." A clear voice laughed, it was Jillian, the only elf shooter in the team.
"Go...I said I wanted to rest in order to take care of you. Otherwise, with my fire-based cultivation, Alva, Archmage, I wouldn't be afraid of the cold..." Alva was wrapped tightly in two thick coats.
Tightly, he also wore a big hat on his head, and his voice was blown away by the cold wind.
"Hahahaha..." The teammates laughed in good faith. Even Nilak and Alva couldn't help but laugh. A kind of warmth slowly appeared on the cold and long road.
The eight members of the team are led by deputy leader Bruce and senior thief Ivan. The others are: intermediate elf shooter Jillian, senior summoner Rex, intermediate fire magician Alva, intermediate swordsman Aaron, Ya
Bo brothers, and Nilak.
Except for Nilac, everyone else is an elite member of the Jacques mercenary group, and they cooperate extremely closely with each other.
The team members joked with each other for a while, and the chill gradually subsided.
Ivan looked at the sky, calculated his itinerary, and then said loudly: "Okay, it's getting late, everyone, hurry up and get to the small town ahead before it gets dark, otherwise you will have to wait in
There's a northwest wind blowing in the tent."
Nilac shouted along with everyone: "Okay..."
The north wind and dense snow could not shake the hearts of the warriors, and the group began their turbulent journey again.
……………………
Xixi Tavern in Xixi Town.
The sudden change of weather made the hot tavern suddenly become deserted. Betty, the proprietress, looked listlessly at the few drunkards having a drink. The previous enthusiasm seemed to be dispelled by the cold.
The door of the tavern was ajar and kept creaking in the strong wind outside. Through the cracks between the doors, a bit of cold wind would creep in from time to time.
She muttered: "No one will come in this weather..."
Just as the landlady was mumbling, a "dong dong" stamping sound suddenly came from outside the door. Betty's ears perked up and her eyes quickly stared at the door.
"Madam boss, let me start with 7 glasses of spirits and 1 glass of fruit wine." Shaking off the remaining snow on his body, Bruce pushed open the door and rushed in with a gust of cold wind, followed closely by Nilac and others.
After walking in, Yabo, who was walking at the back, closed the door again.
"Okay, Xiao Xi, here are 7 glasses of strong spirits and 1 glass of light fruit wine." As soon as a group of people came in, Betty's enthusiasm increased again. While asking the maid to serve the wine, she shouted with a smile: "Are you guys here?
You have had a hard journey, guest, please sit down and rest."
Eight people gathered around a large table. Ivan and Bruce habitually observed the surroundings. Seeing that there was nothing special, they started playing around with everyone.
Soon, the hotel maid brought the drinks. Nilac picked up the cup and took a deep breath. The rich aroma was refreshing. Nilac couldn't help but praise: "It smells so good!" and then purred.
After just one big sip, his face turned red quickly, and he said slightly drunkenly: "This wine is really good, just like the wine in my hometown, very strong..."
When he thought of the wine in his hometown, Nilac immediately remembered the debt he owed in the tavern, and couldn't help but laugh.
Bruce asked the landlady to serve some more food, and the people who had been walking in the ice and snow all day enjoyed the wine and delicacies, eating happily and making a lot of noise.
"Captain, tell me about your experience. Your adventurous career must be very exciting and exciting..." Taking advantage of the wine, Nilac squinted and asked about Bruce, trying to learn more about the mercenary experience.
He will be of great help.
Bruce, who had drunk some wine, was full of pride at this time. After hearing Nilac's inquiry, he smiled gruffly and said: "Okay, since you asked Nilac, I will give you a good talk about our Jacques mercenary.
The adventure story of the group.
We mercenaries are all living on the edge of the knife, so let me first tell you about the shocking battle between our regiment and the Hydra King Stuart of the Canby Swamp ten years ago..."
As soon as Bruce started, Jillian interrupted his grand speech with a sweet smile. She smiled and said to Nilac: "Little Nilac, don't listen to the leader's bragging. My sister fifteen years ago
When he joined the organization, he also told me about the war ten years ago, and the eight years that Alva and Belen brothers advanced to the organization. He still said it was ten years ago. Now that you have come in, he is still talking about ten years ago..."
Nilac was a little confused...
Ivan smiled and exposed Bruce's background: "Actually, there was indeed a big battle with Stuart, but we were just spectators. I remember it was more than 20 years ago, when Bruce and I were just ordinary members of the group.
Once, the mercenary group accepted a mission to hunt a wyvern in the Canby Swamp. While we were exploring, a shocking battle suddenly broke out. Stuart, the Hydra King, and a blue giant
I don’t know what conflict caused Long, but suddenly they started fighting. That battle really caused the mountains and seas to collapse. If our mercenary group hadn’t been far enough away, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be here anymore.”
After a pause, Ivan seemed to be recalling the battle. After a while, he continued: "Stuart is worthy of being the king of Canby. The nine giants have constant magic, all of which are water, fire, wind, earth, thunder, poison, six elements and seven.
Several levels of magic and above were cast, and even forbidden spells were cast several times in a row. According to our old team leader, who was already a seventh-level swordsman at the time, Stuart might have entered the holy realm, because Stuart had already
We can control the forbidden curse freely without even a trace of energy being leaked and wasted. Fortunately, it has entered the holy realm. Otherwise, even the remaining power of the forbidden curse is not something we can resist.
But the giant blue dragon was even more perverted. Even the Holy Hydra King couldn't stop her forbidden spell of ice and snow. In the end, Stuart was frozen by the two giants and retreated into the depths of the swamp mud, and that
The giant blue dragon only had a few small scars on its body.
Later we learned that the blue dragon was the Ice and Snow Holy Dragon Malaya, the ruler of the Malaya Mountains, one of the ten strongest men in the mainland.
After returning from that mission, our old team leader gave up his position to the current team leader and retired together with several senior members of the team."
"Yes, under the leadership of group leader Chris, we developed steadily in the next few years. Later, we were spotted by the Rhine Chamber of Commerce and became a mercenary group under the chamber of commerce. However, because of the leadership of group leader Chris Rhine
For this reason, the Chamber of Commerce does not interfere in the internal affairs of the mercenary group, so our mercenary group can be regarded as free people leaning on the shoulders of giants. In addition to completing some chamber of commerce tasks, we can also freely accept mercenary tasks, and we can also help you
The school selects some new recruits for training, and the current Jacques mercenary group is considered a well-known team in the mercenary union." Bruce, a rough man, couldn't help feeling a little: "All of this is largely influenced by
The impact of the war that year..."
The Sanctuary War is rare to see in a century. The adventure of Bruce and Ivan made everyone drool with envy. Alva and others sighed: "If I could witness this Sanctuary War with my own eyes, I would die without regrets..."
Nilac couldn't help but be fascinated by the fact that the strong men of the Holy Domain were too far away for him. Although St. Tag'o Magic School had three Holy Domain-level vice-principals, these vice-principals were more in name only. Although they
Classes have also been held, but for hundreds of years no one has been able to meet the minimum standard for attending classes - to enter the realm of a seventh-level expert before the age of forty.
However, maybe Nicholas can become the first person in a century...
Shaking his head, Nilac put aside a trace of melancholy and asked the true purpose in his heart: "Captain Bruce, can you tell me the specifics of this mission? Is there anything I should pay attention to?"
"
Bruce and Ivan looked at each other, and after a brief exchange of eyes, Bruce said: "You also know that this mission is to explore an underground mine.
This underground mine belongs to the Rhine Chamber of Commerce. More than ten days ago, a large number of dwarfs suddenly appeared in the mine. The guards responsible for protecting the mine were caught off guard, and the casualties were extremely heavy. Only a few people escaped.
In order to find out the details of the dwarfs, the senior leaders of the Chamber of Commerce handed over the exploration task to our mercenary group. This time we come, we only need to investigate in secret. As for the subsequent extermination work, there will naturally be the armed force of the Chamber of Commerce.
To be done.
Nilak, all you have to do is follow us closely, this mission is mainly to take you to experience, the weak dwarfs do not pose any threat to our team."
Nirak nodded, indicating that he already knew, but he secretly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. There were so many miner guards in the mine, and only a few people could escape. Would it be that simple... But there were three senior people in the team.
There are people of this level, and if you follow them closely, there should be no problem!
