This is a city built on the hillside. The construction of the city stops abruptly at the highest point, and there is a cliff below it.
There is only one road into the city, which is winding and winding, making it extremely difficult to transport goods.
But it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Although the Gu Gaoya family controls half of the province's land, the population is not that large. As the center of the territory, this mountain city has a total population of only 8 to 50, which is much lower than the [-] million permanent residents of Baigang.
Naturally, the degree of prosperity is also many levels lower.
However, when everyone arrived here, it was already night, and the light of the magic crystal lamp embellished the entire mountain city with brilliance.
The ruling family also specially used magic to engrave a few striped lights in the shape of running water, hanging from the top of the cliff, accompanied by flickering, very eye-catching and beautiful.
Aida Lema was at the entrance of the city, looking up at the gradually rising mountain city, feeling deeply moved.
As expected of a different world with magic.
People's life is convenient and fast, and the food output is many times higher than that of the previous medieval era, and the population naturally shows explosive growth.
"Let's rest in the tavern for a while, and I'll let the brothers contact the employer."
Viper led the way and walked to a tavern with few people not far from the entrance of the city gate. He introduced:
"The employer is rather strange. He only comes out at night."
"Sorry Miss Elf."
He instructed several of his men to cut off a strand of Deep Shadow's hair as evidence, and after wrapping it up, they quickly disappeared behind a corner.
The rest of the people tied their horses to the stakes at the entrance of the tavern, and swarmed into the tavern.
Riding horses is generally not allowed in towns. If they hadn't contacted their employers for a while and had to travel, they would have gone to the stables at the gate of the city to store the horses.
There were so many people suddenly crowded into the rather empty tavern, the lady proprietress laughed so hard that she couldn't close her legs, she repeatedly called everyone to sit down and served wine and food.
The bard who was resting here also regained his spirits, picked up his lyre and put it on his lap, and slowly adjusted the strings.
"This is really high-end... It would be nice if there were bards in my tavern..."
Ada clutched her bleeding abdomen, which was routinely aching, and looked at the poet who was adjusting the strings, her eyes were extremely hot.
He wears a cap, and his clothes are divided into red and white alternately from the center to the left and right, and a dagger hangs from his waist.
"Don't think about it, your broken place is going to be yellow."
Deep Shadow held his chin with both hands, looking expectantly at the bard.
The mercenaries also fell silent.
Generally, bards will sing some local customs stories or legends of heroes, or change recent events into singing and singing, which is the best way to understand the dynamics of the world.
Moreover, their throats are clear, their sentences are haiku, and some excellent songs are catchy, and even cause a burst of popularity.
Drinking ale and listening to songs in a tavern is the most popular way for mercenaries to relax nowadays.
"Cough cough..."
The bard cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and in the tavern, with eyes full of expectations, finally spoke:
"
The White Harbor Conference shocked the audience; extraordinary strength, white-haired beauty;
The lonely and brave man will not give up; take the opportunity to challenge and become famous in history;
No one cares about you, you don't know how to advance or retreat; you don't know what to do, and talk about Hong Kong on the street;
Aristocratic clown, earth dragon and humble dog; return to loneliness, drink all day long;
Wine and meat friends..."
I actually appear in this poem!
Ada felt refreshed and refreshed when she heard it. It was as comfortable as finding money just after waking up after a full sleep.
Although he is not the main character, he still left footprints in this world, right?
Deep Shadow stared at his friend with a smirk.
She didn't know what exactly happened at that White Harbor meeting, but she understood that it was just a trivial matter to Ada.
Otherwise, this bragging friend would have already talked about his heroic deeds in an arrogant manner.
The bard finally finished singing the latter part of the song, and the mercenaries heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the poet's singing voice is not the best, and his voice is not clear, but in this small town, there is nothing wrong with it.
Some people are silently reciting the scarlet sentences that appear in the poems, and when they are negotiating with other people, they can be slightly modified and thrown out to make a blockbuster.
Someone else fumbled for coins and flicked them towards the cardboard box at the bard's feet.
Viper suddenly gave a short laugh: "Ha! This nobleman is really stupid, his strength is low, and he dares to challenge that kind of master. He is so stupid!"
He smiled for a while, broke off a piece of dry bread brought by the proprietress, dipped it in the broth and stuffed it into his mouth, then licked his fingers, and looked at Ada with interest:
"Why don't we fight again, I know you are stronger than me, but this time we don't need to fight, how about it?"
"Are you challenging me?"
Ada covered her mouth and let out a low voice.
Brando was right, the mercenary captain was really stupid.
"Tsk, you are a sissy, and your voice is too thin, so you can't speak well?"
Viper shook his head, and saw Ada prostrate on the table, clutching her abdomen, her face paler than usual, and asked:
"Why, did you have a stomachache after eating something bad?"
Shen Ying pressed her friend's head to prevent her from answering, then touched her forehead again, and said with a pun: "This is an old problem of hers for many years, and she gets sick every once in a while."
"Drink some hot soup to warm your stomach, and eat some tomatoes. This is the top folk remedy in our hometown."
After a few days of getting along, Viper's attitude towards Ida has changed a lot.
Although this little brat looks a bit weaker, and is a sissy, and can always steal the attention of girls when he walks on the street, his strength is really not hidden.
And the mercenaries who advocate force are most impressed by the strong.
"It's a pity that now I'm sick at the end, alas..."
Viper licked his lips: "At first, I wanted to leave the job of killing the employer to you, but we didn't care about it. Now it seems..."
He looked back and forth at his palms.
Brando cut off a piece of cooked beef with a dagger, stuffed it into his mouth, and then tapped the viper with the tip:
"After the matter is settled, don't break up, follow me back to the Widow River, I'm useful."
The group of them walked from White Harbor to Lonely High Cliff, and then passed through the county town of Widow River, which was only a little more than a day away from here.
It's just that Brando was worried that the group of mercenaries would be stupid again, and wanted to help him control the situation, so he followed until the end.
At this moment, several mercenaries who were previously sent to contact the employer walked into the tavern:
"Boss, brother, the employer directly left a note in Heijie, asking us to find him in a cave."
"Okay, the cave is just right, no one will find it if you kill it, maybe there is still treasure!"
Viper slapped the table, whistled continuously to greet the chatting subordinates, and then looked at Shen Ying: "Miss Elf, this time I have to work hard for you, pretending to be a prisoner."
Chapter 90. Psychic magic
The terrain of the cave is generally downward, getting wet and cold, and there are obvious traces of artificial excavation on the rock wall.
This is where the employer lives, and everyone does not know how long they have been away.
Ada was mixed among the mercenaries as an ordinary member, and Deep Shadow walked beside her after his hands were tied.
It's just that the rope that was scribbled around the body, as long as the elf wizard uses a little thought power, it will turn into a sharp whip and whip towards the enemy.
"How long does this ghost place have to go!"
Adder cursed and glared at the elf walking in front angrily: "Hey, be honest, don't try to play any tricks, it's better to eat and drink with your employer than die!"
He's fully in character.
Be careful with the ten-thousand-year ship, he is usually extremely cautious when carrying out such tasks.
This is also the fundamental reason why vipers usually survive even though they do something stupid.
Brando, at the forefront, dressed himself as a thug in a half-masked scarf.
He silently took out the dagger and held it upside down, and easily sharpened his voice, as if a different person:
"I don't feel right..."
His small eyes looked around, but he couldn't see what was wrong.
Viper simply pulled out the scimitar—since the boss said there was a problem, there must be a problem.
Seeing the leader's appearance, the subordinates also followed.
The mercenary who walked at the end snorted: "It's so cold here, I suddenly remembered the beef balls in the morning... Although it was cold, I had been staring at the last one for a long time, but you snatched it Let's go!"
As he spoke, he suddenly thrust his sword into the back of the person in front of him. With red eyes, he said viciously, "The meatballs are delicious!"
The mercenary in front didn't expect his teammates behind him to attack him at all, he covered the protruding blade of his abdomen, and turned around slowly in astonishment.
His throat was overflowing with blood, but he couldn't speak, he could only make a strange 'ho ho' sound.
"What's going on!" Viper turned around and shouted in horror.
The third person also turned his head and shouted: "You two are so noisy, how can you hear the big brother!"
After finishing speaking, he directly flew up and chopped off the heads of the two men.
Blood sprayed and splattered, which should have caused a low-pitched scene, but few people made a sound.
Instead, someone raised his weapon and his eyes turned red.
"Psychic magic——!!!!"
The only magician in the team screamed and chanted a spell.
"You're too noisy!"
The third person said, and threw the steel knife at the magician.
But in the middle of the knife, Ada slapped it away with a palm that came later, changed its route, and inserted into the wall.
Ada withdrew her trembling hands—the mercenary was a powerful one, and the strength contained in the knife was astonishing.
Deep Shadow quietly took her hand.
"Stop him!" Adder pointed at the knife thrower.
One of his subordinates turned the short sword into a sword flower, and said with a smile: "Yes, brother, just leave it to me."
"and many more--"
Viper rushed straight over, and pressed the brother who wanted to attack his companion against the wall, pointing left and right with the scimitar in his hand: "Calm down, no one is allowed to move!"
His threatening voice spread far away from the cave, and no echo could be heard. For a while, the narrow space suddenly became quiet, and only the magician's low-pitched incantation could be heard.
Finally, he sang to the last scale, waved his gestures, gathered the magic power on his fingertips, and pointed at the viper: "Scorching shot—uh——"
Brando's dagger plunged across his throat, preventing him from chanting the last syllable.
The magician waved his hands in vain, and finally lost his strength and collapsed on the ground.
"There is spiritual magic here, everyone try not to think about anything, retreat outside!"
Brando's face was stern. He lost three of his subordinates in just an instant, but he didn't even see the enemy.
He nodded to Shenying: "Miss Elf, please!"
Instead of finding that employer, it is more important to save the lives of his subordinates first.
Anyway, he must be deep in this cave, and he can't escape even if he wants to.
Deep Shadow whispered a brief incantation.
"Dispel evil—"
A dim halo spread outward from the elf's body.
