Next to the door of the ‘Ryan III’ tavern, an old man with gray hair sat cross-legged on the ground. He was wearing a very shabby dark brown trench coat with a black leather vest that had been worn away and a high-neck shirt with oil stains. . The old man lowered his head and did not move, as if he had fallen asleep.
Seeing this old man who looked a bit like a beggar and a bit like a down-and-out adventurer, Ray turned his wrist and took out a silver coin with a griffin pattern. She stretched out her hand and threw the silver coin in front of the old man, but before the silver coin fell to the ground, the old man with his head down accurately pinched it with two fingers.
“The kind lady is really generous.” The old man put the silver coin in front of him and admired it. “But do you know that if this silver coin falls to the ground, as long as you turn around and enter the tavern, it will be taken away by others immediately.” That one The silver coin tumbled back and forth between the fingers of the old man, disappearing for a while, and then suddenly appearing from the other hand, “A silver coin being picked up by someone is really nothing, I’m afraid it might bring you something. Some unnecessary trouble. You know, this is outside the tavern.”
Ray understood what the old man wanted to express. If you even used silver coins to give money to the beggar, it means that you must have more gold coins on your body. If some people happen to see this scene, it is very likely that they will feel malicious because of it. After all, this is a tavern, a place frequented by adventurers. Rey knows that the quality of this profession is very different from the upper and lower levels. No one can predict what they will do when faced with a lot of gold coins.
“It’s okay, I have bodyguards,” Rey said.
“But she’s not with you now.” The old man stood up slowly.
How did he know my bodyguard was a woman? Rui was puzzled and retorted, “This is the city, not the wilderness. The guards will deter those thugs with evil intentions.”
Galano is a prosperous commercial city, and the guards there are very responsible. Of course, the responsible locations do not include slums. Ray thought that Monta City should not be far behind, at least she walked in from the city gate, and she felt that the whole city was relatively peaceful.
“Maybe it used to be like this.” The old man held the silver coin in his palm, “but not now. You may not know that a very serious event happened in this city the night before yesterday, which caused the current security in the city to be quite turbulent. Many forces have their own careful thoughts, and serious conflicts will break out if they are not careful.”
“Why are you telling me this?” Ray didn’t know why.
“I know you need help.” The old man recommended himself, “It happens that I am a very good helper, and a relatively competent bodyguard. If you hire me, I will advise you not to stay in this city too much. , After the rest, after replenishing the necessities, try to leave as soon as possible.”
“Hey, old guy, are you taking my job?” Hilda, who had settled down the horses, came over to block Ray.
“In my opinion, a mature team can accommodate two bodyguards.” The old man was not angry, “Besides, you and I are good at different fields.”
“What do you know?” Ray pushed Hilda away from him.
“Forgot to introduce myself, my name is ‘Makas’, I used to be an extraordinary thief, this is not self-bragging, if time can go back forty years, at least half of the people in the entire continent have heard of me His name is Phantom Macas.” The old man’s face showed a hint of smugness.
“I’ve only heard of a person named ‘Phantom Lizard Macas’, I don’t know if it’s you.” Hilda crossed her arms around her chest and looked at the old man with her chin raised.
“Yes, that’s me. But I don’t really like the title. In my opinion, dropping the word ‘lizard’ and just using ‘phantom’ is enough,” said the old man named Macas. ” It’s a pity that things like names and titles are not something you can control yourself.”
“You were a thief before, so what are you doing now?” Ray asked again. If the old man in front of her is really capable, she doesn’t mind letting the other party join the team.
Ray knew that if he wanted to achieve his goals, he would need the help of many people.
“I am now a follower of a mage, responsible for tracking some strange events that are incomprehensible to ordinary people. Once I discover the clues and clues of these events, I will use a special means of contact to report them to the people I follow. Your Majesty.” The old man’s eyes crossed Rey and looked at Doreen behind her, “Unfortunately, when the Mages-Lord had a little accident when dealing with the last incident, I couldn’t be contacted for the time being, so some things are very likely I need to deal with it myself. Sigh, I don’t know if I can handle this kind of thing at my age.” He sighed.
“By the way, I also have to find a temporary new employer for myself.” Markas looked at Ray, “I’m good at snooping and inquiring about information, and I can also let the team know in advance whether there are dangers ahead of the journey and around the camp. , and making and disarming traps is even better. As for martial arts, although I don’t like frontal combat, I can provide you with strong support from the sidelines.”
A peculiarly shaped dagger suddenly appeared in Macas’ hand, and the dagger turned into five with a slight shake. The old man threw up the five daggers one after another, caught them all with ease, and then the five daggers reunited into one.
“Che, any juggler is better than you.” Hilda said disdainfully.
“Okay, you are welcome to join us, Mr. Macas.” Rey agreed to the other party’s request to join the team. “I wonder what your employment fee is?”
“This silver coin is enough for now.” The old man looked at the silver coin rolling between his fingers, “As for the follow-up, don’t worry, we will negotiate later.”
“There is definitely something wrong with you old man.” Hilda frowned, puzzled.
“It’s not just me. In my opinion, each of us has problems.” Macas said vaguely. His eyes looked at Doreen, who was silent from the side again, with a serious expression.
“Forget it, I don’t care who has the problem, it’s more important to fill the stomach first.” Hilda opened the door of the tavern and walked in first. Marcus waited by the door, one foot inside and one foot out, helping Ray hold the door against it. Doreen raised her head silently, lifted her hair on the left side, and looked at the old man by the door with an unspeakable expression.
Ray looked up at the sky, the refreshing drizzle on his face was very comfortable. She knew that she was slowly moving towards a distant goal, and she didn’t know what happened to that person now.
…
A drop of rain fell from the sky and slapped on Barrett’s face lightly, “It looks like it’s going to rain.” The barbarian looked away from the cloudy sky and looked at the mighty elf army not far away.
He didn’t know how long he had been in the elf holy land ‘Los Luolin’. It might be two or three days, or two or three years. Anyway, it made him a little confused.
Little Mage Zenkris and Barrett said that these elves were always arguing about whether to send troops to fight the Naga.
Some elves think that a war must be fought to drive those Naga who dare to violate the elves’ territory back to the sea, so that those ugly guys know that the current elves are still not something they can despise. There are also elves who think that what the Naga occupied is just some unimportant place, and it is not worth fighting for it. If you choose to start the war now, the battle will take place on the coast and around the island near the sleeping bay, which is very unfavorable for the elves. If too many people die in the war, it will be bad for the elves who have just recovered some vitality. A family, once again inflicted a heavy blow.
The little mage also said that the elf queen ‘Valenkor’ didn’t really want to send troops, and wanted to wait for the situation to develop further before making plans, but suddenly the elf queen’s attitude took a 180-degree turn and decided to Immediately dispatched troops, and I don’t know what changed her mind.
The elves’ troops were divided into different chapters, and they headed towards Sleeping Bay in turn. Barrett only recognized the ‘Rose Whisper Ranger’ and the ‘Unicorn Knights’ among them. The Whispering Ranger Barbarians had met them on the Vast Sea Grassland before and knew their clothes, so they could easily recognize them. As for the Unicorn Knights, it was because the little mage Chris and him had talked about this battle group specially.
The reason why we talk about this elf warband is that what the Unicorn Knights ride is not a unicorn, but a tall moose with majestic long horns. This discovery made the little mage quite disappointed~www.readmtl.com~ He heard that only pure virgins can ride unicorns, so he wanted to see if it was true or not, but now there is no way to confirm it.
Barrett has been to many places, but he has never heard such absurd rumors, but he is very accustomed to this kind of nonsense from the little mage and is not surprised.
The little mage and the barbarians will also follow this elf unit to the sleeping bay. As for whether they will take action at that time, Barrett does not know. Anyway, as a follower of the mage and a guest of the elf family, he only needs to listen to the arrangement. Chris was with the elf generals who were in charge of the war at the moment, and the barbarian stood alone on the other side of the marching team in a daze.
Just as the barbarian watched the marching elves thinking wildly, he felt a tremor from the ground behind him. Barrett looked back and saw three or four ancient tree spirits that were even taller and taller than the Titans, walking forward with slow and heavy steps.
For some unknown reason, one of the ancient tree spirits suddenly slipped on the soles of his feet. The steps he had taken forward deviate from the original direction, and a huge shadow weighed heavily on Barrett.
