Chapter 195 Holy Blade
The fruit wine with a faint aroma was poured into the crystal clear glass. The red wine hit the ice beads pre-placed in the glass, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and the chill covered the glass with a thin layer of water mist.
"I'm also a mercenary!"
The bartender Larsen sighed again, after the old lion Gucci left.
Leon couldn't help laughing and reached out to take the glass: "I know, but didn't you say that you have given up your identity as a mercenary and focused on being a bartender here? Why do you still want to participate in our mission?"
"It's too slow to make money just as a bartender..." Larson explained, "If I encounter the right task, I don't mind going out for a walk. What's more, this time the old lion is still leading the team. I'm relieved to have him."
"Lei, you know, in the secret adventure of the Holy Land, good teammates are more important than anything else. You can complete some low-level tasks alone, but if you go further to complete higher-level tasks, you can't do without a reliable team."
"It's true..." Leon nodded: "It's really hard to get along here. It takes money for such high prices. The rules and regulations of the fortress are too strict, and even the acquisition of materials is an exclusive monopoly."
"You can't be strict!" Larson smiled and said, "You have just come to the Holy Land, and you still don't understand the truth."
At the beginning of the establishment of the barbarian fortress, there were not many people who entered the holy land in the early stage. These pioneers were united in order to make a follow-up. Their efforts and sacrifices forged the cornerstone of the fortress today.
But with the expansion of the transmission array and the expansion of Beamon's forces, more and more people have entered the Holy Land, and the situation has become complicated.
Among the four races in the mainland, the elves are the most united race, and the human race and Bimon are the least united. The disunity of the human race lies in the large number of countries, while the disunity of Bimon lies in the large number of ethnic groups.
Different Bimon ethnic groups have different surnames and temperaments. In addition, the strong who come to the Holy Land to explore belong to different forces. In the face of the rich interests of the secret land of the Holy Land, the conflict of interest has never been cut off.
"There is nothing the kingdom can do. If the restrictions are released to let other forces intervene in the material trade, the fortress will become very uneasy. How can it be as simple as now?" Larson said, "If there is no union, who can expect the adventurers who come here to contribute to the kingdom? Once the tide of beasts comes, everyone will leave. Can they expect the garrison to fully defend the fortress?"
"In fact, the girstary army is not so inhumane. As long as you are promoted to a senior mercenary, the benefits you can get are still very good. Don't you think the old lion has just returned to the glorious mainland? The magic core he brought back is enough for his family to live comfortably for a long time.
"The kingdom has paid a high price to open up and gain a foothold in the Holy Land, and it is even more costly to maintain the fortress and girthiring army, so I think such a rule and system is understandable, and not many people think it is unfair."
"Of course, many newcomers who have just come here will feel very uncomfortable, as long as they understand the reason."
After listening to Larsen's explanation, Leon fully understood that in the final analysis, the Bimon orcs were not united enough. If everyone could be like the elves, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the current situation.
The same reason is the human race. There are hundreds of national forces, big and small. If they can unite like elves, with the number and potential of the human race, I'm afraid they have already dominated the mainland.
"In fact, it's not difficult to earn the travel expenses back..." Larson sighed and said, "It's just that I'm really unwilling to go back empty-handed like this, so I've been working as a bartender here all the time, saying that I won't wait to find my own opportunity."
Drinking the sweet fruit wine, Leon quietly listened to Larsen's story. Everyone here has his own story.
The secret place of the Holy Land is like a huge magnet, gathering all kinds of characters here and performing a wonderful drama.
He suddenly thought of himself. Like Larson, he had hope in his heart and looked forward to a miracle.
Larson's hope may be to become rich and famous overnight, and his hope will one day stand at the peak of the world and find a way to return to the original world!
The road is long and far away, and I will search up and down!
Leon clenched his fist hard and strengthened his belief.
He has a feeling that he may be able to find the answer he wants in the depths of the secret land of the Holy Land.
It was this long-standing intuition that guided him here.
"It's done!"
The old lion Gucci hurried back to the bar, leaned over to the bar and said to Leon and Larson, "I have negotiated the terms with the representatives of the Semu tribe. Get ready and leave tomorrow morning."
"I'm going to contact some old guys and rest early in the evening!" He squeezed his eyes at Leon: "Freeze the tiger whip first and keep it until we come back!"
This old guy! Leon is so convinced.
... The next morning, the mercenary union office hall.
Leon arrived here early in the morning, but Larson and Gucci came earlier than him.
Larson put on a set of black short armor. His bare arms were entangled, and his dark skin was full of dark purple totem decorations. The tomahawk and shield hanging on his back were as bright as new. Obviously, he had been carefully wiped and nourished.
His fierce appearance at this moment makes people unable to connect with the bartender of the Night Charm Bar at all.
And there are more people on the side of the old lion. Three warriors, two shamans and two archers, five men, two women and seven mercenaries are old and young, but they don't seem to be ordinary characters.
If you add the three of Leon, there will be six warriors in the team, which is strong enough to break into the depths of the secret forest.
"Hey, old lion, is this the new bear boy you mentioned?" A leopard female archer tilted her head and squinted at Leon in a rather frivolous tone: "It doesn't look very tender!"
This female archer has a slender and toned figure, with amazingly high breasts on her chest, beautiful and mature long legs and buttocks, and wild style between her eyebrows. Compared with her, Rose is a completely a young girl.
She looked up and down at Leon unscrupulously, chewing red gum fruit in her mouth, and the bright red juice overflowed from the corners of her lips, as eye-catching as blood.
"If you want to try it, you are welcome at any time!" Leon did not flinch from her eyes, and his eyes were presumptuous with a smile on the corners of his mouth. He glanced at her breast-rich willow waist, as if to take off her tight dark green armor naked.
The female archer was stunned and turned her head involuntarily by Leon's eyes.
The old lion laughed and gave a thumbs up to Leon, indicating that he hit back well.
The female archer turned her head to find that she was timid, and shame suddenly appeared on her pretty face, but before she could attack, the old lion began to introduce.
The name of the seven-person team he contacted is Holy Blade. It is well-known in the barbarian fortress. Among the seven people, the strongest is the captain lion warrior Odniz, and the weakest one also has second-order strength. The two shamans are fox and eagle.
Odnez is a three-level top-level mad warrior. He is in his fifties and has short gold and white hair.
He doesn't have many words, but it gives people a very calm and reliable feeling that the lion warrior and Gucci are old friends and very familiar with each other.
And Fei Li, the female archer who flirted with Leon, is a third-level sharpshooter and an old member of the Holy Blade.
There are also several warriors and shamans who are not young, all of whom are senior mercenaries. Such a team can be said to be a safety guarantee for walking in the secret forest.
"Ky, our sacred blade generally does not cooperate with newcomers. This time it's all about the old lion's face!"
After introducing each other, Fei Li said to Leon, "If you drag the team back, we will kick you out without hesitation, so you have to think it over!"
"Fili!" Odnez frowned, and he felt that Fei Li was too aggressive.
"Don't worry, if you really drag back, you don't have to say, I will take the initiative to leave..." Leon said lightly, "But now, we are teammates! Ms. Feili, you don't have to tell me what to do. I'm not a baby who is still nursing.
When he said the last sentence, his eyes deliberately fell on Fei Li's chest.
"You! ..." The female archer was suddenly angry, and the ups and downs of her chest were even more magnificent.
"Okay, you two, don't quarrel!" Odnez stood up and said, "We can go. The representative of the Semu tribe is still waiting for us!"
He took the lead in walking out of the door, and the other team members immediately followed him. The female archer stared at Leon fiercely and followed him.
"Is there anyone else? Didn't anyone else take over this unlimited task? Leon whispered to the old lion who fell behind.
Gucci smiled and said, "No one grabbed such a task. I went to the union last night and took it directly in the name of the team, so no one will come again."
"Originally, Odniz wanted to rest for a few days. Their team just returned from a task, but it was persuaded by me, so Fei Li was very unhappy."
He smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Fili is the daughter of Odnez. If you offend her, you should be careful of suffering. Don't blame my brother for not reminding you!"
"Old lion, what bad things are you saying about me?"
The leopard girl walking in front of her was very sensitive to her ears. She actually heard it. She turned around and stared anger and said anger, "Be careful that I pull out your beard!"
Gucci shrank his head, but he really didn't dare to say it.
This makes Leon a little more curious. It seems that this leopard girl with a lion father is very unusual.
But he is not worried that the other party will give himself any little shoes. A real mercenary will never use his personal likes and dislikes during the mission.
