Travels of the Necromancer

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Ley has grown taller. Although the iconic blond hair and blue eyes have not changed, the outline of the face has become more distinct, and there is an additional scar on the right cheek, which stretches from the corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth.

"Why did you attack my team members?" His voice has also matured, showing a calmness that he didn't have before.

"It's this guy who stole my purse last time!"

"He bought other people's things by force first, and I just got back what he deserved for the shopkeeper." The red-haired young man poked his head out from behind Lai again and explained.

"Shut up, Nick." Ley's voice was not harsh, but the young man named Nick immediately retracted obediently, which shows that he has quite a high prestige in the hearts of his companions.

"Since my people stole your money, I will pay you double the compensation, so let's stop here."

"So you want to end it like this? It's not that easy! I must break this kid's leg today." The leading man pointed at Lai's nose and yelled.

"I don't think this matter can be resolved through negotiation, so let's use mercenaries." The tone was still very polite, but as soon as the words fell, Ley had already made a move.

He grabbed the man's finger pointing at him and snapped it upwards hard.With the sound of "click", the man let out a deafening scream, and instinctively wanted to back away. Ley immediately took advantage of the situation and elbowed him, knocking him down to the ground. The whole movement was clean and neat.In the past, Lai was good at archery, but he didn't expect to be so good at close combat now.

In fact, just now Lai also showed the qualities that a good leader should possess.He first showed weakness to the Holy Sword's mercenaries, making them look down, and at the same time let other people present prove to them that the Holy Sword's people were aggressive and refused to make any concessions.When attacking, he will attack the leader first, destroying the morale of the holy sword, and causing chaos to the rest.

Lai has really grown up... Uh, what's the matter with my elder-like proud tone, what he becomes has nothing to do with me.

Although Nick had been running away just now, and then hid behind Ley, but when he really started to fight, he was much more ruthless than Ley, or more shameless.He specifically attacked the part known as the lifeblood of a man, and after a while, there were a few more "oooh" guys rolling around on the ground.

The cooperation between Ley and Nick is also very tacit.As for the coordination of the holy sword... Has this kind of thing ever existed? Basically, everyone rushed directly and was knocked down.There was even a situation where one person rushed too fast and knocked down his companion.So, in the end, Ley and Nick brought down all the holy sword mercenaries present unscathed, I'm not surprised at all.

After tidying up everyone, Nick clapped his hands, walked directly to the leading man, and ripped off his money bag from his waist.

"Next time we meet, you can't say that I stole your purse, because this time I robbed it." Nick triumphantly rushed to the holy sword mercenaries lying on the ground shaking the purse in their hands, making the coins inside There was a sound of collision, and then Nick threw the money bag to the bartender, "These should be regarded as compensation for the damage we just caused."

According to the tradition, the victor receives the cheers, and the loser will naturally be dragged out for treatment. As long as no one dies, the mercenary union will generally not intervene.Nick waved cheerfully to everyone, then hopped on the table again and announced the recruitment of temporary members again, this time getting a much more enthusiastic response than the last time.

Ley simply nodded to the cheering audience around, but when his eyes turned to my direction, he suddenly froze.Did you find me?I waited with interest to see what he would do, but his gaze stayed on for a moment before turning away.

He seemed to want to pretend he didn't see me or didn't know me, was he afraid of the power of the Necromancer?Then why didn't he report me to the temple?

"Chris, are you listening to me?"

"Sorry, I was distracted, what did you just say?"

"I think the strength of this Ford team is very good."

I looked at Noah in surprise: "Do you want to join them?"

"What do you think?"

Noah didn't know about my entanglement with Lai, so he made such a suggestion. I haven't forgotten what happened in Ford City.So it seemed like I should veto Noah's proposal, but I didn't.

--------------------------

"My name is Nick, and I think you already know me. This is our boss, Ley, don't look at him like this, he is already an A-level mercenary." Nick enthusiastically introduced his companion to us.

In the end I joined Ley's Ford team because it was a good team and for no other reason.Although the Ford team has not completed any famous missions, the overall mission completion rate is extremely high, and the reputation in the mercenary community is also very good.What surprised me the most was that Lai was already an A-level mercenary. A-level mercenaries as young as him are quite rare.You know, Noah and I became b-level mercenaries so quickly because we accepted a s-level quest with no limit to levels—expelling the earth dragon that broke into the town by mistake, and we almost lost our lives because of it.

"What do you mean 'Don't look at him like this', you kid is always talking nonsense!" The tall and burly warrior Ted knocked on Nick's head with his hands, but Nick was as slippery as a fish, and ran to the other side in the blink of an eye.

"Really, just kidding." Nick continued to introduce from the other side with a smile, "This beautiful lady is the therapist of our team, Miss Freya."

Then he leaned closer to Noah and me, and said to us in a "whispered voice" that everyone could hear: "It's also Ted's secret love all the time."

"Nick! You...you bastard..." Ted blushed and chased after him again.

Seeing these two guys chasing and running away, Freya covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then stepped forward to give us a ladylike salute: "Freya Del, please give me more advice in the future."

It seemed that Nick couldn't continue to introduce, so Ley asked the last remaining player to introduce himself.

"Blue." And this guy just said one word very characteristically, and then closed his mouth.And judging by the reactions of others, this seems to be his usual style.His attire was as individual as his speech, completely wrapped from head to toe, revealing only a pair of dark red eyes and the brown skin around them.

"I'm Chris, a wind magician." When it was my turn to introduce myself, I nodded to everyone, while observing Lai's reaction.But he remained calm, at least on the surface.

"Welcome to the Ford team. Although we are meeting for the first time, I believe that since the two can be recognized by Nick and Ted, their strength must be good. I hope we can cooperate happily in this mission."

Quite empty speech, learning this way of speaking seems to be a must for leaders, but I found it a bit boring, so I said: "But I don't think it's the first time we meet, Captain Ley, we seem to have met before. "

"There are always some people in this world who look very similar, but no matter how similar they look, they are not the same person. I think you remember wrongly, Mr. Magician." Lai replied very naturally, as if it was really just my memory. Same.

"It's definitely not my memory." I paused for a while, and Ley looked at me silently, and I said with a smile, "At least we just met yesterday, the martial arts of the captain and Nick, but I left it' an indelible impression."

Then the others laughed too, and Ley remained expressionless.

Yes, I can understand the meaning of Ley's words.As the first meeting, keeping a safe and appropriate distance is indeed a sensible choice, but I feel a little...disappointed.It's like making all-out preparations, overcoming all obstacles, and opening the door of the treasure house, only to find that the inside has been emptied, leaving only a note saying "please come early next time"... Hey, what kind of rotten analogy is this!

"Chris?"

It wasn't until Noah called me that I came back to my senses: "What's the matter?"

"It's already been disbanded. Let's go back and get ready. We'll leave tomorrow." Noah looked at me, "You seem to be distracted these two days."

Indeed, I seldom experience this restless mood, except when hungry, perhaps because I haven't had enough for supper?

"It seems that we need to have a supper."
