Chapter 371 Mercenaries of the Cartel
A wide, sparkling river flows between the slightly desolate mountains and plains. A ship that is either gorgeous or loaded with cargo sails past the river, heading towards a city with a name. Call the majestic city of Cartel away!
Coolies in short clothes stood on both sides of the river. Once they encountered fast-moving water or water that could not be turned, these coolies would step forward, shouting slogans, and pull the immobile boats over.
The weather is already a bit cold, at least these ordinary mortals can already feel the cold, and the short clothes of these coolies cannot cover their whole bodies at all, exposing their arms and legs that are red from the cold.
"If I hadn't left home to work as a mercenary, maybe I would have become a tracker on the Volga River like them." Sith was looking quietly ahead when a voice suddenly rang in his ears.
The Volga River, the "mother river" of the Verne Empire and the Catalan Empire, is also the largest river in the central plains. It flows from the northern plateau of the Catalan Empire and flows through most of the Catalan Empire and most of the Verne Empire. , and finally flowed into the ocean, and its coast gave birth to these two powerful countries, and these two countries are the two major mortal countries under the Sith Mechanical Storm Magic Academy.
"Randolph, everyone has the right to choose their own path, and everyone must bear the consequences of their choice. In a sense, your choice is right, because if you become a tracker on the Volga River, Then you will never live to be thirty-five!" Sith said to a rough-looking man next to him, who carried a huge two-handed sword on his back.
Randolph, a resident of Bolton Town in the Cattelan Empire, went out to become a mercenary when he was young. The reason he returned home this time was because he was invited by the Earl of the Empire to canonize him as a knight!
Although knights are the lowest among all nobles, they can also own several villages as their territory and have their own manor. From now on, they can be considered a member of the nobles.
This trip to the capital was also to accept the canonization of Lord Earl.
"What about you? Why did you choose to become a mercenary?" Randolph asked with a smile.
After all, Sith doesn't look like a mercenary at all. His face is fair and tender, but he looks like a noble.
As the dean of the Mechanical Storm Magic Academy and a fifth-level great magician, Sith did not come directly to investigate this time. Instead, he chose the identity of a mercenary and infiltrated the mercenary team heading to the capital.
Sis was about to answer when suddenly a nice voice from beside him said: "I guess Mr. Sis must be a nobleman. He just left his hometown for some reasons. This time he will definitely defeat the bad guys and regain his family property when he returns!" "Anna...
" Sith looked helplessly at a girl wearing leather armor on the other side. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, but she had been a mercenary for several years!
Anna is also a mercenary. She has a beautiful face and a cheerful and lively personality. Her favorite thing is the stories of bards. Therefore, when she saw Sith again, she immediately began to pester him, because Sith can tell a lot of stories. Stories she had never heard.
Moreover, Sith had a temperament that other mercenaries did not have. It was a temperament that she could not explain clearly. This temperament fascinated her.
Randolph looked at Anna: "Have you heard too many stories about those bards? How can these things happen? Do you think the nobles are all so bad?" Sith smiled and shook his head. It seems that
this Randolph was very proud of becoming a knight, so the word "noble" was always on his lips. A knight is also a noble.
Anna stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. She was rescued from a tavern by Randolph. If it weren't for Randolph at that time, Anna, who was only a teenager, would have been taken away by those men.
Anna was sold to those people by her mother, but she refused to obey at all costs, so Randolph was alarmed.
Anna didn't go home after this incident, so she learned some fighting skills from Randolph and became a mercenary, which she did for several years.
Sis smiled and said: "Anna, you don't have to run around with Randolph this time. He has become a knight, and you are the knight's wife, ah, isn't it?" The other mercenaries heard this
. They all laughed. This is a fact that everyone in the mercenary team can see. Even though Randolph looks like he refuses to admit it no matter what, a blind man can also see what he means to Anna. .
Therefore, at this time, Randolph immediately whispered: "No, Sith, what are you talking about..." While speaking, he secretly looked at Anna over there.
That is to say, he has a dark face to begin with, otherwise you would definitely be able to see that the mercenary captain's face is already red.
Anna showed no expression and said, "Don't be ridiculous!" Then she walked directly to the back of the team.
At this time, a mercenary behind Sith suddenly said: "Boss, I heard something happened in the capital recently, which made many people panic. If we go in now, there won't be any danger!" "
Randolph became a knight and had his own manor. These mercenary companions who had been with him for many years would naturally follow him and become housekeepers or guards. Therefore, he has a destination in this life, and he is always there for Randolph. For your own sake.
Sis immediately noticed it and asked casually: "Is this an incident of worshiping the devil?"
The mercenary replied as soon as he heard this: "Hey, Mr. Sis, do you know about this too? I heard that many people died about this. Where are the people, and they died miserably!"
"Brother, please tell me in detail, I have always been interested in this kind of thing." Sith pretended to be interested and came over to ask.
This long journey is inherently boring, so many mercenaries are talkative, but no one listens to what they say. Now that someone stopped, the mercenary coughed twice and started talking.
"Let's talk about this. I didn't know about it before. When I came here, I heard a guy from the capital say that there was a noble son who seemed to be a magician. He then performed some kind of worship. I heard about it. The child has become very powerful, and even the magician in the palace is no match!" "
Also, I heard that they need a lot of civilians for this ceremony. I said before that if you go and give money, you can come back immediately, and then there will be a lot of civilians. Everyone left, but none of them came back. The family members went to look for them, and then many of them disappeared. Since then, no one has dared to go, so now people are being taken away by force. Fortunately, they are all incompetent civilians."
Sith was horrified when he heard this, and immediately interrupted the other party and asked: "You said, there is a magician involved in this ceremony?" The
mercenary looked at Sith strangely and said: "Yes, there is no magician. , How could those guys know such a mysterious thing!"
The mercenary guys were still talking, but Sith's thoughts had already flown far away. If it was a C-level incident before, now it is an S-level incident. Got it!
He never imagined that a magician would be involved!
This matter is indeed serious.
Give some recommendation votes, give some monthly passes, and give some rewards. . The data is so miserable.
