Lord Highlander

These few mercenary regiments have almost no shortcomings except for the high commission price.

The composition of each mercenary group is slightly different, so the combat characteristics are also very different. Some mercenary regiments are good at guarding, some are good at storming, some are good at concealment and surprise attacks, and some are good at field combat. Regardless of the combat characteristics of the mercenary group, the overall combat effectiveness is undoubtedly very strong. Moreover, the teamwork ability is very strong, and the members trust each other, and they usually accept the difficult missions with bounty nature issued by the noble lords.

Suldak and Karl quickly identified a mercenary group with thirty members.

The cost of hiring this mercenary group really caused Suldak a lot of blood. The mercenary group needs to pay salaries on a daily basis. Five gold coins for the corps. In addition, the mercenary station also needs to pay for killing enemy members in battle. Ordinary desert bandits get a head of hardware.

Regardless of death or injury during the battle, Surdak does not need to pay additional pensions.

After talking about this, I made an agreement with this mercenary group that they should arrive at Wall Village in the barren land in three days.

Walking out of the mercenary union, Karl smiled at Suldak and said, "Dak, do you want this mercenary group to kill as many robbers as possible after entering the desert, or to kill as few as possible, just to defeat them?" OK?"

This is indeed a difficult multiple choice question.

"...Why do you ask such a question?" Suldak asked as he walked down the steps.

Karl chuckled, he didn't know that there were a huge amount of gold coins hidden in the pustule mountain, and he turned to Suldak and said, "I'm worried... If this mercenary group kills hundreds of desert robbers at once, don't you want to kill them?" Pay thousands of gold coins! Hey, Dark, when did you become so rich?"

According to Karl's thinking, even if Suldak owns a sulfur mine, if he wants to hire such a mercenary group of thirty people, he may have to tighten his belt in the next few months.

However, he didn't worry about whether Suldak could pay the commission of the mercenary group. After all, Suldak still held a sum of military expenses for the formation of the Knight Squadron of the Guard Battalion, and Suldak could still pay the commission from the municipal government. The office received a sum of military expenses for the militia battalion, which Suldak was not yet able to spend.

"Well, my sulfur mine can still make some money." Suldak said with a smile.

He was considering whether to tell about the fact that there was a group of salamanders in the territory.

"We're going to meet that Viru!" Carl stood on the steps outside the door of the mercenary union, looking to both sides of the street, looking for a magic caravan to take.

Suldak stood beside Karl, blocked Karl with his arm, and prevented him from shouting to stop a passing magic caravan, and said to him: "I am going to see him, you can go back to the guard camp now, don't be late for dinner tonight Just remember to call Bird tax collector."

Carl was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sun in the winter afternoon, and said, "Well, I think I can call Lance in time."

Suldak waved to Karl and walked towards the city hall parade square.

"Don't you even ride in the magic caravan?" Karl shouted from behind.

Suldak didn't answer either, but just tightened the collar of his leather jacket, striding along the street trees towards the parade square.

...

Aphrodite was sitting on a bench in the square. She wrapped herself in a warm fur coat, basking in the sun against the cold north wind.

The sky is very blue, and there are only some cotton-like gray clouds on the horizon. There are not many people in the square. A group of pigeons landed on the ground made of granite, making 'coo-coo-coo' calls from time to time. A few crumbs, sprinkled among the pigeons, immediately attracted more pigeons to settle down.

Hailansa City is a city with an extremely slow pace of life. The citizens here do not have high expectations for life. When they have money, they will choose to rest for a few months. If they don’t start work tomorrow, they may be hungry. When they come out of their families to find a job, they know how to enjoy life better.

Not far away, on the benches on the edge of the square, some old people who came to the square to bask in the sun sat side by side.

They were dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes, huddled together on a bench, looking around to see if there was anything new happening around them, like sparrows huddled together on a clothesline.

Seeing Suldak walking back from the direction of the guard camp, Aphrodite breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I'm used to being left behind anytime and anywhere, seeing him appearing in the square still filled my heart with an inexplicable joy.

Her smile is pure and charming, and her black and purple eyes like crystal grapes are full of joy.

"I found out that there might be an outsider Eagle Eye in Hailansa City, and I'm going to visit him." Suldak walked to Aphrodite and said to her.

Aphrodite leaned on the bench, like a coquettish little girl stretching out her hands, allowing Suldak to pull her up from the bench.

"You want to take me there? Are you afraid that I will cause trouble for you?"

Suldak said indifferently: "If we still have to be timid in Hailansa City, then we might as well go back to the barren land immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Suldak strode towards the side of the road, and the succubus quickly followed happily...

...

Viru was lying on a wooden bed in a small hotel, his body was tightly bound by linen bandages, and even half of his face was wrapped in a scarf. His hair was a bit messy and tied together randomly.

There were several empty wine bottles on the wooden table, and he poured the last bit of the wine bottle in his hand into his mouth, feeling a rush of warmth into his stomach.

At this moment, there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, but it was a pity that this bottle of rum did not extinguish the fire.

He sighed, he could feel those fire elements getting hotter and hotter, but his body just couldn't integrate with those restless fire elements, it felt like a flame was burning in his body.

Weilu never thought that when he was old, a ball of fire burst out in his heart.

This is definitely a good thing for any fighter. He knew that this was a sign that he was going to awaken his fire magic perception, but since he was already a level 19 demon hunting archer, his body had already He has already comprehended Qi, and he can even integrate Qi into the arrow and shoot it out. His tyrannical body naturally suppresses and repels the fire element, so he has been unable to obtain the affinity of the fire element for a long time.

These fire elements are in the body, like a mass of magma...

But for him now, it is very difficult to have the affinity of the fire element. If he wants to integrate the flame in his heart into his body, he can only rely on some external forces, such as living in a forging workshop full of fire elements. Drinking more spirits, these attempts failed to improve his condition, so he began to look for fire monsters everywhere. A month ago, he came across a piece of crystallized salamander meat in Bena City.

An inexplicable longing gushed out of his body instinctively, letting him know that that kind of monster food was probably what he had been looking for.

He found some clues that these salamander ingredients might come from a remote mountain city named Hailansa, so he rushed here on a magic airship.

After living in this city for nearly ten days, there is still no clue about the salamander.

The sunlight shone into the room through the gap between the glass windows and curtains in the hotel room, and there was only a very thin spot of light. He cursed in his heart: 'Damn life'!

He had some nightmares last night. In the dream, he saw those old friends. They came to him one by one, with kind smiles on their faces, and they walked up to him and said, "We have been waiting here for you." , why are you still here? '

Over the years, he has been looking for a way to break through himself, but these nightmares entangled his body like magic vines.

'tuk tuk tuk'

The knock on the door woke Vilu who was in a drunken state, and he sat up from the cot. He didn't know anyone in this small mountain town, so the people who could stand outside and knock on the door, except the hotel owner and the Other than street girls in the hotel business, most likely someone who knew about the Salamander, he shook his drowsy head vigorously, stood up and kicked the empty bottle on the floor.

Suddenly there was a crashing sound...

Viru staggered to the door, instinctively leaned against the wall, and opened the door...

...

Suldak showed his guard battalion knight badge, and easily found out from the hotel owner where Viru lived. He took the succubus Aphrodite up the stairs of the hotel, and stood at the door of a room on the second floor .

There was a musty smell in the hallway and it was cold.

A piece of window pane at the end of the corridor was broken, and the north wind blew in, taking away the last trace of heat from the corridor.

It's not that Suldak has never been to a commoner hotel, but among all the commoner hotels, none can be more dilapidated than this one.

After carefully confirming the number plate at the door, Suldak reached out and knocked hard on the wooden door.

'tuk tuk tuk'

Then there was a 'crash' sound in the room, as if some bottle had fallen over.

The wooden door was pulled open from the inside, and a pungent smell of alcohol came from the room. The smell was simply disgusting. A strange man wrapped in bandages appeared at the door, his eyes were full of Bloodshot, with an irrepressible fire elemental aura all over his body, but he has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through people, especially when he looks at himself, a fierce aura suddenly erupts from his body.

As if he was a sharp arrow, Suldak was so frightened that he quickly took out the dwarf chain shield from his magic pocket.

Immediately afterwards, before Suldak could react, the strange man took a step forward, stretched his arms and hugged Suldak fiercely.

hold tight...

Suldak was a little dazed at this moment, he could feel the weird man trembling all over, his body contained huge explosive power, so that Suldak with the halo of power could hardly break free for a while.

"Jambach, you're still alive..."

It was as if a huge fist had hit his heart, and his heart seemed to stop beating suddenly.

After he implanted that piece of keel, he began to gradually merge with the memory left by another soul in his body. He can see many things from the past, including the ice and snow, mountains, rivers, and cities in the north, but he He has been careful not to touch it, he is worried that after having those memories, he will no longer be himself.

Although he didn't know enough, he knew the name, and he knew it was the name of the original owner of the body.

"..."

Suldak didn't answer, he broke away from the hug, tried to keep his mood calm, and said calmly to the weird man wrapped in bandages, "Sorry, then you may have misidentified the person!"

Viru looked at Suldak again, and he stared into his eyes, the look of joy in his eyes dimmed a little bit.

"This is your new life?" Viru asked again.

"..."

Suldak didn't answer.

Viru tried his best to control his emotions about to collapse, restrained his body shaking violently, suppressed his emotions, lowered his head and said silently: "Okay, I got it! Jenbach, I misidentified the person!"

After speaking, he wanted to close the door.

The fire elements gathered in Vilu's body took advantage of his weakness and erupted in an instant, which immediately made Vilu's blood boil all over. the red.

In a trance, Weilu failed to insist on closing the door, and fell directly on the floor of the room, which made a dull sound.

Suldak and Aphrodite looked at each other in dismay. He had envisioned many scenarios after meeting, but he never imagined that Hawkeye would give him a big hug after seeing him for the first time. Passed out.

Aphrodite looked at Suldak with a surprised look, which was full of various complex emotions...

"Hello……"

Suldak squatted beside Viru instinctively, turned him over from the prone position, let him lie flat on the floor, and kept breathing smoothly, then reached out and touched his forehead, which was hot and hairy hot.

It's a pity that his body was covered with bandages, and he was wearing a set of tough leather clothes. Even if he wanted to untie the bandages, it would be impossible in a short time.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Suldak quickly cast the 'Holy Light Art' on Viru.

A beam of light full of sacred aura shrouded Viru's body, immediately making his condition a little better.

"Looks like an alcoholic." The succubus squatted aside and covered her nose with her hands, saying with disgust.

Then he said: "He seems to know your past, do you want to know about your past, I can charm him when he wakes up again, and then you can retrieve his memories at any time at will!"

"I'm not that curious. He might have admitted the wrong person. Don't crowd here and interfere with my rescue." Suldak yelled at Aphrodite.

"And you said you didn't know him..." Aphrodite put on a deceitful expression, but according to what Suldak said, she stepped aside a little.

She walked into the room with the curtains closed curiously. The room was full of wine bottles, filled with an unpleasant smell of wine. She went to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunlight shine into the room. The cold wind blew in, and the strong smell of alcohol in the room was immediately washed away.
