MTL - Law of the Devil-Chapter 59 [The fate of the adventurer]
-Chapter 59—The fate of the adventurer
The camp of the Snow Wolf Mercenary is very good. It can be seen that this is a group of people who are used to camping in the wild.
This low-lying terrain effectively plays a certain role in wind protection. The two high slopes next to it are very defensive. If you encounter an accident, as long as you can effectively hold the gap in the middle, you can ensure the safety of the camp.
Du Wei and Da Daniel walked into the camp with the head of Beinrich, so he was greeted by the many mercenaries.
There is no such camp, and Du Wei has about 100 people under his visual inspection. It is different from the private army of the nobles or the local garrison of the empire that Duvi has seen. These mercenaries do not have uniform armor or equipment. Most of them dress very personally. Some wear leather jackets, some wear leather robes, and some wear leather jackets.
However, in the role of shelter in the snow forest, most people choose white.
As for the weapons they use, it's even more weird, useful for swords, useful for scimitars, and with axes, with spears... Duvi even saw a guy with a mace-like weapon.
Moreover, these people are all without exception, each person's face is full of embarrassing, unsatisfactory atmosphere. When Du Wei walked into the camp, there were some guys who were rubbing their weapons and looked coldly at Duwei and Dardanelle.
Someone shouted loudly: "Hey! Head, how did you bring a small child in! Hahahaha, is this guy a newcomer you recruited? He looks like he is still not weaned!"
When this was said, it immediately aroused the laughter of the people around me.
Beinrich looked heavy and shouted: "No nonsense! Do your own thing! Give me politeness, this is our guest!"
It seems that this group leader is extremely prestigious. When this is said, although some people disapprove, some people close their mouths.
"Well, Lord of the Magician, these are rude men, not polite." Beinrich then wanted to invite Du Wei to live in his tent, but Du Wei politely declined, so the head of the team gave them In the middle of the camp, a piece of open space was vacated, and Du Wei and Da Daniel made a small tent.
Not long after, the head of the team sent two thick blankets to his men.
"The guys seem to be less friendly to us." Du Wei looked at the mercenary who sent the tent with a cold face and smiled back at Dardanelle.
"It's normal." Dardanelle said: "In this team, newcomers are generally difficult to accept immediately. They are more willing to trust the old companions who were born and died together... even in the regular army. ”
In the evening, the mercenaries had several large fires in the middle of the camp, and the mercenaries were sitting in front of the fire waiting for dinner.
Byinrich personally asked Du Wei to dine together, and he was crowded with him in front of a fire.
The mercenaries had a much better attitude towards Du Wei, and they wanted to come to the head of the team to announce Du Wei’s status as a magician. However, there are still some people who watch Du Wei with suspicion... After all, he looks too young.
Not only those mercenaries, even even Beinrich gave birth to some doubts.
Sitting in front of the fire and taking off the thick leather cap that blocked a third of the face, Du Wei looked even smaller... Beinrich could not help but have some doubt: such a small one Child, is it really a magician?
Or... even if he is a magician, can he be so young... I am afraid it is just a magic apprentice? Or is it just a level 1 magician?
Although the magician is rare, if it is just a magic apprentice or a level magician... then there is no value to solicit.
Next to the mercenary in front of the campfire, there was no one to do their own thing: they used a few large iron pans, melted the snow and burned them into hot water, and then the two strong men carried out some of the strange appearances from the tent. The body of a small and small animal... Du Wei looked at her eyes carefully and did not tell if it was a cow or a sheep. Instead, Dardaner recognized it. He frowned and whispered: "This is... God, a snowy hunch... Oh, this is a oxen... ah, there is a snow and ice wolf! God, do you eat these at night?"
Byinrichhaha smiled and said: "No, it is us! We, and you, eat these at night."
"The body of Warcraft." Dada Neil sighed.
"Yes, Warcraft." Beinrich pouted and smiled. "In my opinion, these things are not much different from ordinary beasts... at least the taste in the mouth is not much worse, but they are alive. It will use some magic, and when it dies, it becomes our food."
Du Wei didn't say anything. He watched the two men pull out the sharp knives, and the hands and feet smashed the bodies of several Warcraft into pieces, and then threw them into the big iron pot.
These World of Warcraft skins have long been smashed, Du Wei looked at the two big men and went back to move more World of Warcraft from the tent, could not help but whistle, he looked at Beinrich: "Head of the lord It seems that the harvest of your trip is not small."
Beinrich said faintly: "It is not easy to ask for life. This kind of life is also a life-saving fight. But you said it is good, this harvest is OK, we have been in this forest for five days, and we have hunted a total of twenty. Many Warcraft, but I also lost seven or eight men. Three people died, and three were permanently disabled." The mercenary leader sighed: "These Warcraft skins can sell for a good price in the South, and Their magic core...all of your magicians are willing to buy at a high price."
Du Wei couldn't help but see the eyes of several Warcraft corpses...
The ice and snow wolf that these mercenaries moved out, Du Wei was recognized. When he was played by the horror in the half-angle city, he once saw the ice and snow wolf in the fantasy.
However, the body of the demon wolf that these mercenaries moved out was obviously smaller than the one that was changed in the last fantasy.
The water in the pot gradually boiled, the meat was full of fragrance, and many mercenaries couldn't help but sniff the nose.
The head of the team took out a few large bags of wine from their tents. The mercenaries immediately cheered up, and then several leather bags were passed down. Each mercenary drank a drink. In this ghostly weather that can cool people's noses, it is best to drink a sip of wine to warm up the body.
Byinrich did not forget to entertain Du Wei. He took out a silver bottle from his arms and smiled and said: "This is my private collection, the best wine in the north... Lord of the magician, do you want to try it? ”
Du Wei smiled and took the bottle and took a sip, but he was almost killed!
"Cough! What kind of wine is this..." Du Wei coughed uncomfortably, his voice was hoarse, and he only felt that a flame in his mouth was burning!
In a hurry, Du Wei can only grab the snow from the ground and fight to the mouth! After swallowing three big snows in one breath, I felt that the feeling of burning in the throat was alleviated.
Beinrichha laughed and said: "Lord of the magician, this is a good thing! This wine was soaked by the magical rhinoceros of the flame rhinoceros! When drinking it, it seems to be stuffed into the throat. Fire! Absolutely strong! Especially in this kind of ghost weather, taking a sip, you can make your body hot! One night will be hot!"
Du Wei held his nose: "Thank you! I can't stand this kind of thing."
Beinrich laughed and took a sip, then his face immediately showed a painful and happy expression, licking a few times, then gasping and yelling: "Shuang!"
He handed the bottle to Dardanelle again: "Friend, take a drink!"
Dardanelle hesitated to taste it, but his ability to withstand more than Du Weiqiang, after taking a bite, like Heinrich, the whole body squatted a few times, but showed a happy expression, praised: " Good thing! Sure enough, the body is warmer! Mom, it’s like a fire in the stomach!"
Next, Du Wei tasted some cooked World of Warcraft meat, the ice and snow wolf's meat is a bit old, but also with a hint of sour taste, Du Wei is not used to eating. However, in this place, it is already very enjoyable to have a hot meaty belly.
Duvi was a dry food at least when he followed the old magician last night.
Well, I don't know if the old guy is looking around at me now... The young master is sitting and drinking, and the old guy is drinking the wind. It feels very good.
Du Wei ate a little something, and the spirit was much better. He tried to drink two special wines from Beinrich. This time, he was fully prepared, not as uncomfortable as last time. Moreover, this wine really is Good things, after drinking, it seems that there is a group of flames that burned all over the body immediately, and the whole body was hot, and the coldness of the body was driven away!
"Lord of the magician, you come to this forest, presumably also to find what Warcraft comes from?" Beinrich smiled: "The magicians here are for these purposes. If this is the case, maybe we Can help each other, maybe, I have the World of Warcraft you need."
Da Daniel and Du Wei glanced at each other. Du Wei nodded. Dadaniel replied: "Mr. Head, have you heard of Goldeneye?"
There was a hint of surprise on Beinrich's face: "Golden eye? That's a very good guy. I saw a magician caught here when I was young, but we ourselves have never caught that kind of thing... …and……"
He hesitated for a moment, slowly said: "This is just the outer edge of the frozen forest, the golden eye of the high-level Warcraft, to go deeper into the woods. The powerful World of Warcraft is active in the center of the forest, the periphery is not There will be such things. However, the more you go inside, the more danger there is."
“Center?” Du Wei smiled. “Please forgive me. I am the first time I came to the frozen forest. You see, I am a young magician. I am not familiar with this place. You said In the center... We have been in the woods for two days. Is it just a peripheral area?"
"Of course." Beinrich shook his head: "The frozen forest is too big... I can even say, how big the forest is, I am afraid that no one has ever actually measured it myself. I heard that 20 years ago There are powerful magicians with a few knights of the temple, who have been walking deep into the woods for a month, and have not been able to go to the other side of the forest. The ghost knows where the forest is, perhaps the end of the world. It is also possible. Moreover, there are records that can be investigated at that time, that is 20 years ago. That was a magician’s great magician who brought in several high sacred knights of the temple. Say... In the end, only the magician came alive. In the heart of the frozen forest, I heard that there are many high-level Warcraft infested, even if it is a powerful magician, it is impossible to deal with the siege of several advanced Warcraft at the same time. As for us These mercenaries, our Snow Wolf Mercenary, have always been only in the outer zone. The farthest we have traveled is nine days... and that was a few years ago."
Du Wei was a little surprised...
A magician plus a few high-level sacred knights have not gone to the end for a month?
Is this forest so big?
Dardaniel’s face is also ugly... In this case, what is the golden eye, where can I find it?
"I would like to admit two sentences." Beinrich’s expression was very serious: "We Snow Wolf Mercenary, who has been hunting World of Warcraft in this forest, has been doing it for many years, and I have encountered some who come in to find Warcraft. Magician. But even some magicians don't dare to go too far... Most of them go to the 'Dayuan Lake', no one dares to go inside again. Two... I know you are a magic Teacher, I also respect the ability of the magician. But I still advise you to give up your intentions if it is not necessary..."
Dadaniel’s face was ugly. He thought for a moment and suddenly said, “His head, thank you for your kindness, but I have to find the golden eye. Um... and...” He suddenly showed his face. A strange expression: "I know that the people of your group are specializing in hunting for Warcraft. If you can, I am willing to pay a high price to hire you to help me find..."
"Sorry, no." Beinrich retired very simply: "Although we rely on this to make money, and I also know that the greater the risk, the greater the profit. But if you know that it is hard to die, Then it is not a risk, but an idiot's behavior. Our Snow Wolf Mercenary has no ability to enter the heart of the frozen forest. No matter how high your price, I am afraid we can do nothing."
Dadani sighed. He knew that Beinrich said the truth, and he stopped talking about it. He took a sip of wine.
Byinrich’s attention returned to Du Wei’s body. He thought about it and said, “My Excellency, I am very curious about you. In my impression, very few people can get it at your age. The qualification of a magician. I lived forty years old, including twenty years of adventure, and the magician I met was not too small, but I have never seen a genius like you."
Du Wei smiled a bit...
Genius? That is what you have not seen.
Du Wei's own strength is only about three level magicians. It’s a genius than the average person... but... compared to the other two female geniuses that Du Wei met, Du Wei really has nothing to be proud of.
At the age of fifteen or six, he was qualified as an eight-level magician! That is called genius! And Du Wei also encountered two at a time.
Seeing that Du Wei did not speak, Beinrich was silent for a while, and slowly took out a scroll from his arms.
"Lord of the magician, I want to make a deal with you, don't you know if you are interested?"
Du Wei’s eyes lit up: “What trade?”
"It's like this. I know that magicians are very rich, so if I give you something like treasure, you will definitely not look at it...so..." Beinrich smiled: "I and My people will continue to go north for four or five days, we will go to Dayuan Lake, and then we will turn around and go back. I think, anyway, you and your companions are going all the way north, then In the next few days, you might as well follow us on the road. My people and I can act as your guide and take you all the way to Dayuan Lake. Such a large forest, if there is no guide, I am afraid it is easy to get lost. You see?"
Beinrich unveiled the scroll in his hand: "This is a map of the frozen forest! Such a map is absolutely nowhere to be found in the market! Even if you spend 10,000 gold coins, I can't buy it! Because this is what I have been using in my woods for nearly twenty years and forty times. I have made it through my memory! I promise that the whole empire will not find it. Go to the second such detailed map."
Du Wei’s heart moved!
He took the map and started...
On the drawing is a large forest icon, and at the south end are several entrance passages leading to the forest. The drawings also mark several small towns in the south of the frozen forest, as well as some levels set by the Northern Storm Corps patrol.
Du Wei slightly looked at the road and found the road that he entered the forest with the old magician the night before.
On the drawings, the area of the entire forest is not known, but Byin Ricci slightly pointed out that Du Wei had a concept.
"Here, here is about our current position." Beinrich’s finger poked a bit on the map.
From the map, this location is very close to the entrance to the southern edge of the forest. Du Wei can't help but feel a little discouraged... After two days of hard work, I got out of this place on the map.
Beinrich smiled and then pointed out a little bit inside the forest on the map: "Here, it is the destination of my trip with me and Dayuan Lake."
A slightly flattened circle on the map marked a lake.
Byinrich probably introduced it, this lake is located inside the forest, is a forest lake. However, the area is quite large.
"The lake is about five or six miles wide... at least that wide. Although I have been there a few times, I have not measured it. In fact, I have not been to the other side of the lake. Dayuan Lake is a frozen The boundaries of the advancement of some of the adventure teams in the forest."
"How do you say that?" Du Wei was curious about everything in this frozen forest.
"The dividing line of strength." Beinrich smiled. "Basically, in the south of the lake, everything is not too dangerous. Mercenary regiments like us can still be active. But... in the northern part of the lake, Very few people dare to go. Dare to cross the lake and continue to go north. According to what I know, all the strong people who have names in the whole continent... At least I am not because of Lishi. I take me. The people have been to Dayuan Lake several times, but never dared to bypass the lake and continue north."
After a pause, he had a weird smile on his face: "By the way, if it is in the summer, I will not bring people to Dayuan Lake. You know, where there is water, it is usually dangerous. The beasts are infested...Warcraft is the same, World of Warcraft is also drinking water, and Warcraft also likes to take a bath. In the summer, the weather here is very cold, but it is not as cold as it is now. Now just in the early spring, the lake still No thaw, the lake is ice, there is no World of Warcraft will go to the lake. But the summer is different, the place in summer is simply the gathering place of Warcraft! Hell... I have heard that there are several mercenary groups, hundreds of The hundred people were attacked by World of Warcraft on the edge of the lake! The whole team was dead there! So, because of the current season, I dare to go there. If I change the summer, I will definitely be far from there."
Beinrich said all this and looked at Du Wei: "How? Master magician? My transaction is very simple: I and my people took you to the lake, and I sent this map to You... Although I haven’t been to the north of the lake, I have collected a lot of information over the years. They are all news from the strong people who have been to Hubei, but they have spent a lot of money collecting the information! The signs on the map, even if you cross the Great Lakes and continue north, at least the map shows the terrain for the next two or three days."
Du Wei looked at Bayern Riich: "Mr. Dear Head... I am very curious. Since you are not planning to go to the north of the lake, why collect these information from Hubei?"
There was a hint of emotion in Beinrich's eyes. The expression on his face was sincere and serious: "Lord of the magician, please remember, I am an adventurer!"
When he said this, his expression even had some pious taste.
"I am an adventurer! Although... I am doing mercenary work now, I am taking advantage of the adventure in the frozen forest to get some benefits... But I am not a businessman with a stinky! My In the bones, the blood of an adventurer is flowing!" Beinrich said: "I have been in this place for half a lifetime. From the time I was young, listening to the legends, I have been longing for the ice on the north side of the lake. The forest, in the end, will be what it looks like... Although I know that my strength is far from being the top of the mainland, and now I have a large group of people following me, I have to shoulder their responsibilities! I also have my own dreams! My dream is... In the future, when I am old, when I retire, I will no longer be the head of the team. My people will be handed over to their new leader. Then, when I am alone When there is no responsibility, I will prepare to spend the lake and go to the north to see it! I have been in this place all my life! In the future, if I have never seen the North like it, then I will die. Attention! I collect this information for the future! I intend to go on the road after I am ready, I am even ready, I will die in the north of Dayuan Lake in the future! Even if I am dead, at least I can also look at what the legendary North Shore looks like before I die.... I am dead, and I am fulfilling the fate of an adventurer!"
Having said that, Beinrich said a word that made Du Wei awe-inspiring:
"As an adventurer, if you die in bed, it is a shame! As a real adventurer, you should choose to die on the most exciting journey!"
Du Wei took a deep breath, and his tone could not help but become a little more respectful: "Lord Lord, you promised our guide, and sent us this map... then what do you need me to do for you? What?"
"It's very simple." Beinrich smiled. "I only have two conditions. First, in the journey we are on the road, if we have any troubles, such as being attacked by someone else or Warcraft, you, the magician. Lord, please stand on our side. When appropriate, we need the help of a magician."
"No problem." Du Wei immediately replied: "Since we are on the road together, it is a companion. This is a matter of course."
"Thank you. My second condition is... If you can go back after completing this adventure... Please sorry that I used such unlucky words. But I last advised you that the North is very dangerous. "When Du Wei didn't accept his suggestion, the head sighed: "So... if you can come back, I think, you are the magician I saw in my life... You are so young! Beyond the genius Besides, I have no other words to describe. I believe that in the future, you will become a well-known powerhouse in the mainland. If there is such a day, I hope that you can remember the name of our Snow Wolf Mercenary... I take the liberty You are required to remember that the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps has given you help in the frozen forest. As for this person's situation, it is enough to help us when you are at the right time. ”
Very shrewd leader!
Du Wei has more respect for this head!
If the words of the "adventurous fate of the adventurer" just made him look like an idealist... then the trading conditions behind it, it seems that this head has a long-term vision!
This matter, for them, did not pay any price... They originally planned to go to Dayuan Lake, and the team of more than 100 people would bring more people with them, and it would not cost anything. On the contrary, there is another magician companion on the road.
In addition, as for the map... the map was made by the head of the group himself. Although he gave it to Du Wei, he could draw another picture at any time. For him, there is no loss.
And these, but changed to a magician's human feelings!
In Roland, the magician is more precious than gold, especially the powerful magicians. The leader’s calculations are very clever. Du Wei became a magician when he was young. His future must be bright... As long as he can live back, it means that the Snow Wolf Mercenary will not cost anything, and a future The great magician made a friendship!
You can count on some time in the future to get help from a great magician!
An idealist, but there is no shortage of reality.
This is Du Wei’s evaluation of the head of Beinrich.
•;
There is nothing tonight.
Early the next morning, when Du Wei drilled the tent, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps was ready to go. Some warriors who are not afraid of cold scrubbed their bodies with snow, and others took care of their beards with daggers. These guys who are used to the adventure career, everyone is a temperament, and finally summoned the companion on the road with a full-fledged shout.
Dardanelle’s mood is somewhat low.
After the introduction of the frozen forest by the head of the Bayern Riich last night, Dardanelle was very clear that the possibility of finding a golden eye by himself was probably very small. Even if you add the Harry Potter little magician, I am afraid it is not enough.
Du Wei was comforting a few words of the Liszt's loyal warrior, and then went on the road with the Snow Wolf Mercenary.
The Snow Wolf Mercenary was very full, and two teams were scattered around to search. In the afternoon of this afternoon, Du Wei witnessed the process of hunting the Warcraft by the people of the mercenary group.
The search team found a cave of Warcraft, the roots of a towering tree were hollowed out, and a snow-capped giant bear hibernates inside.
This is a "roaring snow bear". This Warcraft is almost twice as large as a normal bear. It looks like a polar bear known to Du Wei's previous life, but this roaring snow bear can give a kind of Magic Attack: Its roar can roll up a small tornado!
The Snow Wolf mercenary group seems to have a very skillful approach to dealing with this kind of Warcraft. A dozen strong warriors tied themselves and their companions with ropes, first throwing them into the bear with burning pine branches. In the hole, the bear was forced out and then attacked with a bow and arrow.
The roar of the giant bear stunned a small whirlwind, and the two big men were scraped into the air on the spot! Fortunately, they were **** with their companions. Although they fell a little bit worse, the snow was thick and not seriously injured. It was just a bad guy who fell on a stone covered with snow and sprained his waist.
The mercenaries used a huge hood to cover the bears, and then divided them into four directions, each with more than a dozen big men pulling hard.
In the end, the head of the Bayern Riich held a giant axe and stood about fifteen steps from the giant bear. His vindictive sparkles and he threw the axe quickly!
In the silver vindictiveness, the head of the team took an axe and cut the head of the giant bear into two halves!
Du Wei couldn’t help but be surprised.
The martial arts of this head of Beinrich is really quite powerful! The name of one of the three masters of the Northern Mercenary, really has the ability!
Du Wei’s mind compared him to the martial arts master he had seen, and found that neither the Robert Knight nor the father’s bodyguard Alpha Swordsman was as good as this Heinrich.
The only thing I can compare is probably Joanna’s martial arts.
During the cheers of the mercenary group soldiers, everyone went up and took back the body of the giant bear. A captain skillfully cut the bear's belly with a dagger, first took out the bear bile, and then cut out the magic core from the bear's head. , closed up.
The rest, the three soldiers quickly stripped off a whole bear skin, as for the bear meat, divided into several pieces for the soldiers to share the back, and then continue on the road.
On this day, similar scenes, Du Wei saw four or five times. The Snow Wolf mercenary group also hunted two ice and snow devil wolves, but unfortunately, while hunting the second demon wolf, a mercenary was miserably caught by the claws of the devil wolf, and even the intestines on the spot. They all flowed out!
"This is the life of an adventurer. Every day of adventure, some people may sacrifice." Dardaniel whispered to Du Wei: "I also lived this day, but later, I chose to quit."
The mercenaries to the dead companions only slightly expressed their condolences, and then buried the body of their companions and continued to head on the road...
In the evening, everyone had a meal of devil wolf meat, but when they took turns to warm up, Du Wei carefully noticed a detail.
A dozen mercenaries sitting outside the campfire, but never touched the wine bag that came and passed.
"Those are the vigils tonight." The head looked at Du Wei's confused eyes and said: "The vigil, I ask them to keep their spirits 100% alert and calm and sensible all night! Because in this place If the vigil is a little negligent, it may end up with the entire team. So, the vigil is definitely not allowed to drink a drop of wine! But as a reward, these vigils will be the next night. After the substitution, they can get a double drink. The spoils they hit the next day, they can also get one more after they go back."
When the head of the delegation said this, he added a whisper: "Of course, if they can still go back alive."
After listening to this, Du Wei looked at the watchful soldiers who looked calmly at the companions cheering for drinking... His eyes were more respectful -
