Mercenaries and Adventurers

"Quack! Rude human being! You **** me off!"

The voice of Otori God is very loud, but if you listen carefully, you can hear that there is an embarrassing feeling hidden in it that is difficult to ignore.

Kil retorted mercilessly: "Wrong! God who doesn't keep his promise, you have angered me -"

He counted with his fingers: "Who spent their own money to get a batch of wooden statues of gods? It was me. And who risked being targeted by the Church of the God of Hunting to promote the teachings of the ancient gods? Or me, ha, except What have I gained by gaining the ability to see things clearly as I walk closer?”

"No! Where is your agreement? When I was troubled by nightmares, where was the solution you promised? Where is it?"

Kil spat: "Okay, the **** who didn't respond before was licking his face and coming forward again after I found another way to initially solve the nightmare?"

The jet-black bird-shaped wooden sculpture on the chest trembled for a while, as if he was angry. The voice of the big bird **** rang in Kil's ears. He angrily defended: "I didn't lick my face and come over! No! Ga—"

Keir blew out a puff of air from his nose and said with a disdainful smile: "Everyone knows that this is how you come up to me while licking your face. Moreover, explanation is a cover-up, you don't need to explain, haha, I understand, understand~ ~”

Kil's last sarcasm was so full of meaning that he obviously made this down-and-out **** so angry that there was no longer any effective communication. Only a continuous rattling sound rang in Kil's ears.

This forced Kil to try to plug his ears, but it was not very convenient with steel gauntlets on his hands. So he took out a small piece of clean cloth, tore it open and stuffed it in his ears.

But it was still useless. The communication between Otori God and him seemed to be a normal communication, but in fact the other party's voice sounded directly in his head.

This made Kil quite irritable, and his ears were full of rattling sounds.

"It's so embarrassing for you to do this. Where is the majesty and mystery of the gods?"

The shouting stopped for a moment, but soon started again.

Until Kil felt irritated, he took off the neck armor on the front, took the dark bird-shaped wood sculpture hanging on his chest in his hand and threatened: "Stop, if you do this again I will throw away this thing?"

Gere tried to tear off the rope on the wooden sculpture. Sure enough, under this threat, the hoarse rattling sound that filled his ears stopped.

"snort!"

Kil snorted coldly and put away the wood carving.

He did not whisper, nor did the **** in the wooden sculpture speak again.

There was silence for a while.

-

"Rude human boy, um, how are you doing lately?"

After a while, the refugee team came to the rocky hills along the dirt road that was almost covered by the newly grown weeds. Kil was also walking on one side of the team. He was riding a horse, letting the blood-licking grass move forward slowly. Pacing, keeping up with the whole group.

At this time, the big bird **** spoke.

Kil rolled his eyes and was silent for a while before responding: "Can't you see what I did and what I went through through the wood carvings? Why, do you still need me to report to you in detail?"

The big bird **** immediately said: "Rude boy, gods are not omnipotent. I have followers who need to communicate with many birds, so I can't keep an eye on you all the time."

The corner of Kil's mouth raised, and he spoke sarcastically: "Hey, you, the god, are so busy. It seems that the agreement was not completed, not because you didn't want to do it or couldn't do it, but because you got busy and forgot about it, right? ?What kind of **** is it if it’s not omnipotent?”

This made the big bird **** quite embarrassed. He was about to quack loudly, but he noticed that Kil held his hand again on the dark wood carving of a bird, so he swallowed the quack that came to his mouth and changed his words: "Irreverent. Boy, you are much noisier than the noisiest crow. Don’t forget, those **** hunters of the God of Hunting, they have been sending a large number of manpower to deal with me, as well as my followers and birds.”

Seeing that Kil had no reaction to this, the Big Bird God said again: "You don't know, those hunters are very powerful and very cruel. They don't care about the rules of the place. They will attack my people when they see them."

Hearing this, Kil narrowed his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "So, wouldn't it be very miserable for those who believe in you? Then you let me secretly spread your beliefs among the refugee team? This is terrible Can not be done."

"There may have been some trouble before, but you don't have to worry now. Gah! Those guys seem to be chasing all the way and have found a new target! Gah gah gah! Flesh demon! I heard you call those guys that?"

When Keir heard this, his eyes rolled up: "That's right. So, you really couldn't take care of it the past few days? You were so busy that you forgot about me?"

"Really! Ga! Really!"

But Keir's face was straight: "I don't care what reasons you have, a promise is a promise, whether you can't do it or you are too busy, anyway, you haven't done what you promised before! Tell me, what else can I do? I believe you?"

Faced with Keer's severe questioning, God Big Bird was not as nervous as before, because he dared to contact him at this time because the news he had just received made him feel confident.

"Gah! Rude boy, how about you put these things aside for now and let's discuss other things?"

"Oh?" Kil became suspicious, because unlike his previous words, Big Bird God's words now sounded confident and proud.

"I know that in addition to your soul being corroded by the fragments of dead souls, you are also worried about the future of your small team. You once promised others that you would lead them to find a safe and secure place for them to escape. Get through the chaotic situation now and in the future, right?”

Kil snorted. He knew that the jet-black bird-shaped wooden sculpture he had been carrying must have noticed that he had been troubled by this recently. Although he always pretended to be extremely confident in the team, which made most people in the team feel at ease.

But in fact, he panicked.

Along the way, the southern provinces were filled with bandit gangs that grew in size due to the imbalance of power, and there were also empty villages where the entire population had fled.

Not only that, some larger towns also have their own troubles and problems.

The journey was not long, but there were many problems encountered. Really safe places were even rarer. There was no place where he could safely arrange hundreds of young refugees.

How to do it? There was nothing he could do.

Before, I could only take one step at a time, hoping to find a reliable and safe place to arrange people in the team. After reaching this position, Keir can only hope that in the process of rescuing the villagers of Changmai Village, he will arrange for the refugee team and the rescued villagers of Changmai Village to be sent to the remote Changmai Village.

He saw from the map in his hand and the local map of the Sass family that Changmai Village is a very remote and safe place. If you don't consider the defeated army that suddenly attacked through the mountains and forests last year, because the place is remote, chaotic and dangerous, It's hard to find the place.

Including the flesh-and-blood demon that Ye Mei Town is facing at this time.

Compared with the few remote and sparse villages in southern Sars County, no matter how you think about it, if the flesh demon that can parasitize humans wants to expand its scale, the most ideal plan is to head to other counties outside Sars County as soon as possible to contact Burris. The French city spread and spread, trying to capture large areas of densely populated towns before the nobles and knights who went out returned with their troops.

At this time, when Kil heard the words of the big bird god, he immediately made a guess.

"You say so, do you have a reliable solution?"

Kil asked with his eyes closed in confusion.

He immediately added: "If there is, I hope it's not another agreement that can't be fulfilled. After all, hey hey hey."

"Gah! What are you doubting? The promise will be fulfilled! It's just that there is some trouble at the moment. If the trouble is solved, what was promised to you will be given to you! Although the rude human boy makes this **** unhappy, this news You will be satisfied."

"information?"

Keel asked.

"It's a piece of news. Gaga, be happy secretly, kid, the problem that's bothering you has been solved by the great Budolib Dorab Ika!"

Although the big bird **** said happily in his mind, Kil had already been deceived by the other party once. At this time, he did not blindly believe the other party's words, but asked: "How to solve it? Find a safe refuge area? How? Maybe, the team is not far away from Yemei Town now, and I can't guarantee how far away from the dangerous whirlpool it is. As for the area near Changmai Village further south, I think it can only be done after eradicating the defeated soldiers who kidnapped people. And make sure no one like this ever crosses the mountains again, so it can be somewhat safe."

"After all, the place in Changmai Village is indeed very remote." Kil finally added.

"Quack! Stupid humans, rude humans, the safe place may not be far away. Many times, if you look around, the answer may be right around you!"

Kil shook his head: "Impossible! Are you talking about Shichui Village in front of you? If that place was safe, the farmers in the village would not go to Yemei Town to take refuge. You have to know that this place is not far from Yemei Town. It's a two-day distance, and if I ride a horse, I can get there in half a day. Considering how difficult the flesh-and-blood demon parasitic monsters are, this place can't be said to be safe."

Having said that, Kil still looked left and right on horseback and felt that the environment near Shichui Village was not bad. It was not far from the river. There was a rocky hill that could be used as a backing. There were open fields around it, not far away. There are also several sparse woods extending to the foot of the mountain.

If there hadn't been the Flesh Demon crisis in Yemei Town not far to the north, the environment here would be really good. You must pass through this place if you want to go to southern Sars County, and the future development is also guaranteed.

If there had not been a crisis of flesh demons, if there had not been the impact of the war between the southern province and its southern neighbors in the past two years, Shichui Village would probably have developed into Shichui Town in a short time.

By then, Yemei Town will also be upgraded to Yemei City, and there will definitely be new development in Sass County.

if everything goes well.

But after all, it is all if, not to mention whether the war between the southern province and its neighboring countries will be won. If it loses, according to Kiel's understanding, it is estimated that the Earl of the southern province will definitely let the noble lords start a new war. With rounds of soldier recruitment, the rapidly developing bandit gangs in various places are expected to be forcibly recruited into the army and once again launch military operations to regain territory.

After all, what was taken away by neighboring countries was not the empty natural mountains and the sparsely populated border aristocratic territories, but the resource-rich areas with large mineral deposits.

For those resources, this war will continue until it is won.

Or both parties may suffer heavy losses and stop completely.

In addition, there is also a crisis caused by the difficult flesh demon in the town of Nightmei in Sars County. If it is not dealt with well, it is difficult to say whether there will be any living people in the northern part of Sars County in the future.

After thinking so much, Kil finally shook his head and said to the big bird god: "Please explain it more clearly."

"Gah! This is not the attitude of begging for help, gah!"

Hey, this big bird **** is still pretending.

Kil shrugged: "That's my attitude, especially to a **** who doesn't abide by the agreement that much. If you want to say it, say it. If you don't say it, just keep the secret that makes you happy and be happy secretly. Go ahead."

Patting the horse's head that was licking the blood grass, it made a sound of metal colliding with each other: "I will still act according to my original plan. At least this way I won't have to deal with a 'rude' ancient god."

Kil's attitude made the originally proud Big Bird God silent for a while. When he saw that the young man really pulled the reins and made the Blood Licker turn towards the refugee group, the Big Bird God really lost his temper.

He opened his mouth and confessed: "Gah, okay, okay, I'll tell you right now, listen with gratitude, and don't forget this god's kindness in the future."

"To the east of your team, that is, to the east and north of the Shichui Village you mentioned, there is a small river with an unknown color. If you walk upstream along the river, you will come to a place sandwiched between two mountains. In front of the forest. After crossing this forest, there is a large valley inside the mountains."

Kil frowned: "That's it? In the valley..."

He looked around: "You can still find some if you look for it."

"But those are very small. How many humans can live in them? What I'm talking about is not a narrow valley that can support a few or dozens of people, but an open valley isolated by mountains and forests! There are enough open areas in it. Land, feeding thousands of people is not a problem.”

Hearing this, Kil became interested.

"Besides, you would never have imagined that that place is not an uninhabited land. There are already some humans living in it. Although not many."

The big bird **** stopped here. He was proud to see the changing expression on the face of the rude boy.

"How about it? Is such news important? Can it solve the problem that bothers you? Such an important gift, you can't say anything to me anymore, gah! I said it, the promise will come true, it just takes a little time. .”

Kil didn't pay attention to some of the words behind the big bird god. He straightened up on his horse and tried to look to the east.

However, the undulating terrain limited his vision, so Kiel focused on the rocky hills not far away that the team needed to detour along.

He drove his horse across the front of the team, and then ran straight towards the rocky hills.

Considering that Blood Licker was covered with heavy horse armor, Kil stopped riding when he rode up to the rocky hills, for fear that the lush weeds on the hills would cover up the cracks in the gravel underneath, causing damage to the horse's legs and feet. Injuried.

He jumped off the horse and asked Bloodlicker to wait there. For fear of boredom, Kil also untied the bit on the horse's mouth so that Bloodlicker could graze nearby at will. He put away the cloak behind him, rolled it up and put it on his left shoulder. Then Kil quickly climbed up the rocky hill dozens of meters high.

The top of the hill is rounded but regular. I don’t know if it was treated by local villagers or something else. The rocks on the top are convenient for people to go up and observe.

Kil jumped up with all his strength, using both hands and feet. As soon as he came up, he glanced around and saw traces of a sentry post where people had worked and lived. However, because the entire village of Shichui Village on the other side had taken refuge in Yemei Town, , so this village sentry has not been used for some time.

Regardless of this, Keir came to the highest point on the top of the rocky hill and looked east and north through the bright sunlight in the sky.

Sure enough, there is a small river east of Shichui Village, and the small river further upstream is formed by two other small rivers.

One of these two small rivers, just as the big bird **** said, is black and gray, and it doesn't look very clean.

There is another small river next to it, the water is green, UU reading www. uukanｓhu.net There are lush vegetation along the river. The banks of the black and gray river were barren of any vegetation, and they looked not only unclean, but also slightly ominous.

Kil looked a little familiar, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't think much about it.

"How is it? How about what I told you? Just the same!"

Kil ignored the pride of the big bird god, and after grunting, he looked upstream along the black and gray river, ignoring the surrounding woods and gentle slopes. Kil finally saw that the black and gray river came from a place It flows out of the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

The dense forest extends from the mountain range between two very close mountains. Different from the environment at the foot of Kiel, the place where Kiel was looking was filled with fog. The fog rose from the mountainside and extended all the way down into the dense forest.

Although you can see an overview from a distance, the deeper and clearer things are hidden in the continuous fog.

"Across that forest, there is a wide valley area behind it? And there are still people living there?"

Kil asked a question, and the big bird **** replied affirmatively: "Of course, one of my Winged Messengers is flying in the sky and can see very clearly."

Hearing this answer, Kil snorted: "Is that the big raven that keeps wandering at the head of the team, squawking at night and disturbing people's sleep?"

"Hmm, it's right. Is there any problem?"

As if he heard Kil's dissatisfaction, the big bird **** felt a little strange.

Keir rolled his eyes: "If it can be quieter and don't deliberately defecate on top of the refugee line from time to time, I guess I'll be fine."

The big bird **** croaked a few times in embarrassment: "It's just a raven! You humans can't ask too much of a raven. Ga!"
