God's family

It is said that there are four types of friendship among the strongest buddies in the world. They went to the window together, carried guns together, shared the stolen goods together, and went whoring together.After experiencing the last attack by a monster, the relationship between Roger and the others and the mercenaries can be regarded as "carrying guns together", and getting along is much more comfortable than before.

Compared with Leon and Lyonte, who are also swordsmen, Edgar's swordsmanship has added the fierceness and determination that he has experienced in countless battles. After seeing Edgar's strength in the battle with monsters, Leon admired him a lot. In his spare time, he often asked for advice on one or two tricks, and also liked to make gestures with other mercenaries. His swordsmanship could not be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, but it was also much sharper and more concise. flashy.

Although Leon is not as active as Leon, he will not be against him. Every time Leon asks him to compete with the mercenaries, he is more cooperative, and he does not put on the usual attitude of treating strangers as transparently. He looks dead, and his swordsmanship is more inclined to the simplicity and smoothness of mercenaries than Leon's aristocratic demeanor. In addition, once he restrains his bad habit of not wanting to care about others, he appears to be extremely honest and friendly. It turned out that he was more popular with the mercenaries than Leon, and Roger, who had been watching coldly, couldn't help feeling that the sky was unfair.

However, when he remembered that he was also deceived by Nexant's smiling face and innate temperament that seemed to be contagious at the beginning, Roger regained his psychological balance—look, being deceived by Nexant was definitely not because he didn't know people clearly. The reason is that even seasoned and sharp-eyed mercenaries cannot escape the temptation of Nexant. This problem should definitely be caused by this guy Nexant!

Although not as good as Nexant and Leon, Theodore got along well with the mercenaries.The proud elves are completely convinced by the rigor, strength and discipline of the mercenary group in battle. Now that they have been convinced, the frank elves will not lose face and continue to maintain their previous restraint. The relationship between the soldiers has lost some natural barriers in the occasional quarrel.

As for Roger, he naturally didn't show off, and quickly became one with the mercenaries.

Anyone who licks blood at the edge of a knife knows that the last person in a team that cannot be offended is the pharmacist, otherwise, once injured, it will really be called every day, and the world will not work, and now, among the people who cannot be offended, there is Added Roger, a false priest with high proficiency in healing techniques.After a battle, almost every mercenary bears a kindness from Roger. Even in that situation, it is necessary to help each other, but the mercenaries all keep this in mind. There was a smile on Roger's face when he talked, and he was very kind.Of course, this does not rule out that they intend to establish a good relationship with Roger, in case they encounter any difficult situations later, the other party can also care about them for the sake of this friendship.

Due to the natural advantages of the profession of "baby dad", Roger learned more from the mercenaries than Laycent and others.Apart from practicing a few simple but self-protecting slashes with the warriors, he spends most of his time with mage Lola and pharmacist Alan. The former has the water spells he wants to learn, and the latter also helps him Pick up the pharmacist skills that have been left behind for a while, and further study them.After all, spells are not omnipotent. In case of being in some forbidden magic field, or being banned and unable to use healing techniques, pharmacist skills are still very useful-according to the current development form, Roger has to Be prepared.

Both Alan and Lola did not refuse Roger's advice. Firstly, they owe Roger's kindness, and they have a good relationship with Roger. Secondly, the time they get along with each other will not be too long, according to the level of ordinary people. It is obviously unrealistic to really learn anything during the not-so-long journey from Aintes to Seagate.It's a pity that Roger knew that he was not an ordinary person when he learned the first spell.

When Roger easily used the mid-level water spell [Arrow Rain] for an area attack, Laura's expression could be said to have seen a ghost. When studying the results of nearly ten years, I will not feel very comfortable, even Laura, who has always been gentle and kind, is no exception.The water mage who was extremely unbalanced gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and even took out the high-level water spell [Tsunami], which he had bought at a huge price, and he hadn't yet comprehended it, and showed it to Roger, until he saw that he couldn't learn this spell Then I got a little more balanced in my heart.It's a pity that she didn't know that Roger didn't learn it, but he learned it but couldn't use it.

Looking at Nahang in his status bar [has learned the advanced water spell "Tsunami" (unusable)], Roger finally understands a little bit about his dark forbidden spell [Ragnarok] which is also unusable , probably because my current ability cannot support such a large spell.But if you understand it, you understand it, but Roger can't figure out how he learned this seemingly cool spell.

——Could it be because I was so angry and aggrieved at the time that I got a second shot, and then I learned it?Roger felt that the world was so mysterious that it was completely incomprehensible to mere mortals like him.

Compared with the simplicity of learning water spells, Roger's progress in pharmacist skills is quite slow.After all, magic seems to be able to be used as long as it is reflected in the mind, and the rest is nothing more than chanting the spell and waving the staff, but this is not the case for the pharmacist.Even if you understand the theoretical knowledge, you still need to do it yourself. When to move gently and when to move decisively and quickly, it all needs to be practiced step by step. Fortunately, Roger was trained by a pharmacist before. The basic skills are solid, and Allen is a patient and meticulous person, so one studies seriously and the other teaches, and the learning speed is actually not too slow, but it is set off by Roger's ghostly "magic learning ability". It is so mediocre that "ordinary people" are almost moved to tears.

Generally speaking, after going through a life-and-death battle, the life of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps is going well. With the efforts of Roger and Allen, the injuries of the injured mercenaries have gradually improved. The only loss is probably It was the head of the group, Edgar, who disappeared in the melee with two or three thousand gold coins—the orcs.

Although the silver-gray orc was powerful, he was still in a relatively weak state at that time. Because he was afraid that he would betray him in the middle of the battle, he did not dare to put him with protected people such as mages, and no one was free to specialize in it. He was guarded and protected, so he might have encountered an accident during the monster attack, or he might have taken advantage of the chaos to escape. No one could say for sure what happened.

Although the value of an orc is extremely high, the mercenaries also know that the enemy they are facing is not a good role to deal with at this time, and they dare not be so big as to risk looking around for an orc, so although it is a pity, they can only do so. After all, it's just that every time I talk about it, I feel regretful and painful, and I keep calculating what good things two or three thousand gold coins can buy.

The atmosphere in the mercenary regiment was relaxed but prudent. Every route and every campsite was decided by the experienced mercenaries after careful consideration. However, the journey since the attack by the hordes of monsters was beyond all expectations. It was unexpectedly calm, so calm that everyone couldn't help but feel a little guilty in their hearts.

Yes, it was because it was so peaceful, so calm that not even a monster appeared in front of Roger and the others, as if all the monsters were walking around them.

The so-called abnormality is a monster, and the mercenaries are even more afraid to take it too seriously. Both the number of people on alert and the scope of alert have increased again and again. Unfortunately, until they are about to reach the port of Seagate, nothing happened.

"I plan to rectify before entering Seagate's area." On the way, Edgar called Roger and others in front of him, expressing his views solemnly, "Recently, everyone has been very nervous along the way. There is not enough rest, but the other party has never let us catch any traces. I always feel that something is wrong. Judging from the large-scale attack last time, Ain obviously wants to kill you, not just a lesson Just for a moment, although I don’t know why the group of monsters suddenly became a mess, but I think it’s obviously not Ain’s doing, so he will definitely not let you off easily. I think he may be thinking about dragging us down all the way , and then give us the coup de grace at the last minute when we're about to get to our destination and relax."

Everyone agreed with Edgar's opinion. After all, all this is too abnormal, and it can only be explained in this way.

Seeing that Roger and the others were not in a hurry to enter Seagate, Edgar breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed the casual smile that had always been on his face.After all, as a mercenary, the most troublesome thing is not to encounter danger, but to encounter a mercenary who does not listen to persuasion and insists on going his own way. Because he is hired, in the end the mercenaries need to obey the arrangement of the mercenary. The disagreement between the mercenaries and the mercenaries will push the mercenaries to a dead end.

After reaching an agreement, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Edgar ordered the mercenaries to rest for a day after arriving at the next campsite, so as to meet the final test in the best condition, and the mercenaries also agreed with this very much. After all, they themselves have been anxious and extremely nervous. Although they are impatient to end this task, safety must be the top priority.

The mercenaries who knew that there was going to be a one-day rest period relaxed a lot, but this relaxed mood suddenly disappeared at dusk, because they encountered the first "living creature" other than wild animals along the way. ".

It's not a monster, it shouldn't be a monster, that blue mess looks from a distance, it should... probably be a person.

The mercenaries held their weapons and carefully watched around a dozen steps away from the group, exchanging opinions with each other in low voices.

Seemingly realizing that he was being watched, the thing wriggled a bit, stretched out a dirty and wrinkled paw, and said a word dryly, "Water..."

Is it homeless?Or an enemy posing as a Ranger?Everyone turned their questioning eyes to Edgar, but Edgar waved his hand decisively, signaling to ignore it, safety is the top priority, and left around "him".

Except for Laura, who is a woman and a gentle water mage, who hesitated to speak, the mercenaries didn't say much. They have long been used to life and death and conspiracy, although they occasionally show kindness , but it is also based on the fact that there is no harm to oneself.But now the situation is so weird, any unexpected event may be a signpost leading them to the land of death.

The mercenaries walked lightly and quickly avoided the blue thing, but Leon hesitated for a moment, looked at the pitiful blue rescuer, then at Lacent, in the battle between heaven and man .On the one hand, the knightly education he had received since he was a child did not allow him to ignore death like this; Roger, who had a trace of pity, followed behind Edgar, without even giving a single glance to the blue thing.

The first to stop was the female mage Laura.

As a mage and a woman, Laura has a very high status in the mercenary group and has a great say. When she stopped, many mercenaries also stopped and paid attention to her reflexively. safety.

"Lola?" Edgar also stopped when he realized what was going on behind him, turned around and called out Laura's name inquiringly, with a bit of reproach.

Edgar's tone, Laura, who knew him very well, naturally heard it clearly. After hesitating for a while, he still raised his head and looked straight into Edgar's brown eyes, "I want to save him, but I don't think he has Malicious, and... how should I put it... I always feel that there is a kind of aura about him that makes me feel very kind."

Hearing what Laura said, Edgar couldn't help but frowned, and his heart became more defensive, but he also knew that although Laura was kind, she was not a person who was so sympathetic that she would put everyone's safety at risk, otherwise it would be impossible Lived so long among the mercenaries, and gained the trust and love of the mercenaries.

After taking a few glances at Laura, he found that although she was hesitant, she seemed to be doubting her own decision, but she had no intention of moving. Edgar finally decided to give himself, an important member of the team, a trust, and ordered After nodding, he made arrangements for the mercenaries, in case there was any sudden danger and they would be caught off guard.

Lola heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled gratefully at Edgar, then, under the protection of two mercenaries, approached the blue mass cautiously, and handed the water bottle with the unplugged to "him". "The water is here, do you want a drink?"

The thing moved again, and slowly raised its body. The messy light blue long hair (or long hair) was dry and tangled together. The hair and shadow covered most of "his" face, making it hard to see. Clear his appearance.When the withered hand that looked like a skeleton wrapped in leather grabbed the water bottle in Lola's hand, that face was finally lifted completely, and it was clearly displayed in Lola's field of vision.

"Yeah!" Lola screamed, let go of the water bottle abruptly, and took a few steps back, but accidentally tripped over a small piece of exposed tree root and sat down on the ground. At the same time, the body protecting Lola The mercenaries also drew out their weapons, and blocked Lola behind them, keeping an eye out for the thing that seemed to be a human being, and immediately chopped it into pieces if the other party moved slightly.

The rest of the mercenaries were also ready to fight. Seeing that thing, everyone had expressions of horror on their faces. Even Roger couldn't help but took a step back, half-hidden behind Lacente, feeling that he was Will definitely have nightmares at night.After all, anyone would feel horrified and disgusted when they suddenly encountered something that looked like it was summoned by a necromancer in legends, with only crumpled skin and bones.

The "person" didn't seem to feel the tense and fearful gazes of the crowd, so he raised the kettle impatiently, and then poured it on himself, and was immediately half-drenched by the whole pot of water.

Crowd: ...?
