Demon Lord

Damn, that elf chick is so fucking beautiful, if I play with it all night, I'd be happy to lose ten years of my life

Tsk tsk tsk... As expected of an elf, that small waist, that small face, those whores in Kig Town are really far behind her.

Don't just think about it, there are opportunities, as long as the leader...

Hey, if you meet me again, you will never be soft-hearted... When I say this, I think of the chick that the leader gave us in the mercenary group we destroyed last time, but the skin is so tender... Tsk tsk.

It's a pity that he died before making it through the night, what a disappointment

In the evening, in a clearing in the forest about four kilometers away from Elsa village, the sound of chatter was echoing around the campfire.

There are five campfires like this, and each place is surrounded by tents—the camp of the Blood Shield Mercenary Group has been set up here for three days. Here it is. And different from those small mercenary groups running around in the forest, this large mercenary group with more than 50 members is rich in supplies, and the bags containing food can be piled up into a hill. Obviously, they have been here for a long time. Be prepared.

The bandit-like mercenaries drank ale and chatted loudly, but the bonfire in the center of the camp was very quiet. Fresh and tender venison is roasting above the charcoal fire, but the mercenary captain Kevin is the only one sitting beside the campfire

Different from the noisy and exaggerated appearance of his subordinates, Kevin gave people a very gloomy feeling. With two swords on his waist, he is muscular, about thirty years old, and his eyes are always squinted, making it hard to see what kind of emotion is behind those eyes.

When the venison was cooked and removed, the deputy head just came over to report the news about today's conflict with the wood elves. Kevin cut the venison with a knife, listened calmly for a while, and said casually: When it gets dark Just send someone to investigate the wood elf village, to test their combat effectiveness, and don’t kill too many people.”

Master Kevin, then our task...

In a general mercenary group, the deputy head and the head don't use honorifics at all, but at this time the deputy head seemed to be too respectful to Kevin.

This doesn't conflict with the mission. Kevin glanced lazily at the deputy head who was standing beside him, and continued to chew on the venison, It's not a small price to get rid of that big guy. If the wood elves are suitable, wouldn’t it be better to leave this trouble to them? If we’re lucky, we’ll get more than what the higher-ups want. The price of wood elf slaves on the black market... I’m sure you all know clear.

Kevin said it calmly, but in a few words, the fate of Elsa Village was almost decided, and he didn't have any guilt or regret. After the deputy head wrote it down, he continued: Later, I will reveal this plan to you. The people below have wood elf slaves as their hope, and these guys should work harder.

Yes, my lord.

The deputy head had to admire Kevin's ability to grasp people's hearts. After nodding, he reported the progress of the main task in a low voice.

Kevin listened quietly, chewing unhurriedly, and when the deputy leader finished speaking, he replied: There are three possible places? Then send someone to investigate one by one. But remember, any At that time, there must be more than 30 people in the camp. If that guy is disturbed, there will be a lot of movement, so put your horses around more and keep your eyes bright.

The deputy head bowed down respectfully, and then wiped the fine sweat on his forehead——Although Kevin spoke slowly and looked harmless to humans and animals, he had seen the side of this head that could be called a thunder volcano , Knowing what kind of power the regiment leader was standing behind, he didn't dare to delay for a moment when he left the bonfire area, and hurriedly arranged a team to investigate the wood elves.

Kevin in front of the bonfire still looked calm. After eating the venison, he thought for a while and took out a thick parchment letter from his pocket. Looking at the writing and patterns on it by the light of the fire, he said to himself He said to himself, If Gallup didn't die, why bother so much?

Heh——Akasha still has the guts to defect? ​​Tsk tsk, 'If you can catch her, you can handle it yourself...who doesn't know how good this girl is? This really doesn't leave a way for her to survive.

His eyes fell on the last few lines of the letter, Kevin's playful expression gradually dissipated, but it was rare to show a trace of dignity——

We need something like this... From this point of view, the sacrificial ceremony should be advanced.

When the night fell, in the middle of the line between the base camp of the Blood Shield Mercenary Group and Elsa Village, Rody, who raised the bonfire alone, was frowning and looking at the [task bar] in front of him.

After leaving Hollier City, Rody first entered Kig Town in disguise, and after confirming that there were no casualties in the town, he transformed the [Ice Crystal Thorn] that Magda left behind, and remade it. 【Frost Iron Bracers】.

For Roddy, the so-called transformation is actually much simpler than making a new bow—you only need to thin the bow blades and narrow the width, and the already terrifyingly strong bow will reduce the use requirements.

Of course, this method also has disadvantages, one is irreversible, that is, after polishing, the bow can no longer return to the previous item level, and the other is that the transformation process cannot be done by anyone. This is the end of the whole bow being scrapped.

But this is not a problem for Rody, now [Ice Crystal Thorn] has been reduced to the level he can use by himself, and [Frost Iron Bracer] has also replaced the original [Stalker Bracer]. After the equipment was updated, his combat power directly leaped to a higher level.

I have to say that the physics department does eat equipment. After changing directly from the green bow to the epic bow, the flat shot damage has been increased by nearly three times, and the arrow speed has been increased by a few points-but these improvements are not enough for him to deal with it. Magda, Ansardin, and Roddy's plan is simple: complete the [Advanced Professional Task] and obtain the complete [Witcher Hunter] professional skills before February, open the talent tree, and after getting the maximum improvement, Then consider dealing with Magda.

But he never expected that when he found Elsa Village according to the [task bar] prompt, what he got was such a welcome...

Even if it's not yet open to humans, it shouldn't be like this.

Rody fiddled with the bonfire, feeling that he had really encountered a problem this time—he never planned to take any tough measures against the wood elves, because they were not only related to his [advanced professional quest], but also involved many ways of making money. The way to offend anyone is not to offend them.

The Advanced Professional Task prompt on the [Task Bar] has changed from Go to the Forest of Quiet Whispers to Someone in Elsa Village may know the secret of these words - obviously the clues of this task and the wood elves It's related, but the current situation really makes Rody have nowhere to start...

Thinking of Brody's old bastard talking about human beings and human beings, Rody vaguely felt that someone might be causing trouble for these wood elves, but such thoughts can only be guesses—the huge Whispering Forest , how could he know who provoked this group of wood elves?

The kebabs on the bonfire were grilled squeaking oil. Rody's location was only three arrows away from the Wood Elf's village. It sounded very close, but in fact, his vision was severely limited in the primeval forest. Let's exaggerate It is said that it is difficult to find a person hiding ten meters away. And Rody is even more clear: Elsa Village's warning range is only about one arrow, so he is not worried about encountering the wood elves who are bitter and vengeful.

But Luo Di didn't know that at this time, the Blood Shield Mercenary Group and Elsa Village actually sent teams to test each other at the same time...

Late autumn is coming to an end, and the chirping of insects and birds around is much less than in summer, and the wind and chill at night are obvious. Rody put on a thick cloak, and enjoyed eating meat skewers. Bored, he was scrolling through the [Personal Attributes Panel] to look at the theoretical attack power, but then he noticed an attack coming from not far away. The movement, immediately became alert.

The sensitivity fighting posture allowed Rody to quickly distinguish that the approaching footsteps from 40 to 50 meters away belonged to five humans—he just wanted to extinguish the bonfire, but he couldn't help thinking of the tough attitude of the wood elves today. . He frowned slightly, then ate the last bite of barbecue, assembled the dagger and scimitar, put the [Ice Crystal Thorn] and quiver beside him, raised his hand and poked the bonfire a few times to make the light bright again After a while, he sat there, as if he was unaware of the sound in the distance.

The footsteps were getting closer, and then stopped collectively. Roddy could hear a few conversations, and then three of them walked towards Roddy.

Hey buddy, alone?

The members of the Blood Shield Mercenary Corps were no different from bandits, their words were very angry, and the three of them swaggered, but they kept their weapons in their hands, and their eyes were searching around, alert to possible ambush.

Luo Di turned his head and saw a few people approaching. He poked his neck and looked around as if he couldn't see clearly, and then asked in a surprised voice: Eh? I didn't expect to meet people here. Hey, where are you guys? Here? The caravan master? Or a sergeant from a mercenary group? I have a brother who went hunting in the afternoon, let me wait for him here, and he will come back later.

Sergeant is actually a name for soldiers in the orthodox establishment. It is considered a respectful title for mercenaries. At this time, Luo Di bowed his body slightly, making a flattering look, pointed to the bonfire and said: Everyone eat! No? Brother, there is still some meat here, as well as ale...

The mercenary walking in front was obviously an old fritter. He swept his eyes and said with a disdainful smile: Stop bluffing people, you are really brave. How dare you run to the Jingyu Forest alone? you're lucky

Obviously, the luggage and tent that Rody placed here belonged to only one person. Any experienced mercenary knew that he was deliberately increasing the number of people so that others would not dare to bully him, but since he bumped into them...

Blood Shield Mercenary Group is not well-known in Efta, but it has long been notorious in the territory of the eastern part of the kingdom, and is even called Bandit Group-the black work such as robbery and extermination is really no less than , but the matter is done in a clean way, the nobles in the territory are too lazy to take care of it, and the mayor and the like don't dare to take care of it, so the mercenaries in the regiment are all raised arrogant and black-hearted. Now seeing Luo Di, who was alone, immediately felt evil in his heart.

A few of them must be sergeants. I don't know which regiment they belong to in Kig Town? I still know some regiment leaders...

Rody didn't seem to notice the ferocity in their eyes, and handed out the wine bag, only to find that the mercenary in front of him was squinting at him with his chest out and his belly protruding. The words said: So, the three of us are also hungry, but the boss ordered us to hurry...

Good talk and good talk

Luo Di couldn't help nodding, reached out to take the luggage, and was about to take out something, but there was a pause in his movements, his eyes were undetectable and he glanced at the jungle beside him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if thinking of something, and then the The movement became a little bigger, and he deliberately shook the nearly one hundred silver coins in the bag with a squeak sound.

When the three mercenaries heard this, their eyes lit up, and then they looked at each other at the same time, and nodded secretly—this is not the first time they have done murder and silence. Given the opportunity, they would not hesitate at all.

By the way, sergeants, there is something I want to ask you guys. Luo Di handed over a large bag of meat and bread, raised his head, and said with a harmless smile on his face: The trees around here Elf village, do you know?

Hey, then you're asking the right person. I had a fight with them in the morning. If it wasn't for that beautiful girl who shot the arrow so accurately, I would have already caught and sold them all, he said flirtatiously. Then, I didn't realize that Luo Di's flattering smile had turned cold...

Fuck your grandma, it turns out that you bastards made it impossible for me to do the task?

I was thinking about whether to tie up these guys and throw them to Brody, but I didn't know that the mercenary stretched out his hand again, and said bluntly: I told you, bring five hundred gold coins.

As soon as the words fell, the three of them pulled out their swords at the same time, and pointed at Rody brightly—You should take the initiative, or should we take it by hand?

Rody narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his voice that only answered became cold...

Then let me take the initiative...
