"No, I'm a magician, this is just my hobby." An Fei flipped his hand casually. His movement was very natural, but the taste of the fish soup suddenly became stronger.
One of the mercenaries in the group of seven stood up, jumped across the stream, and looked around with a smile. His eyes finally fell on the crystal box, and he couldn't help but be startled: "You are too wasteful, aren't you? Use The best crystal soup?"
"No way." An Fei shrugged: "We don't have a pot, so we can only deal with it this way."
"Brother, can I have a taste?" The mercenary took a deep breath of the fragrant steam and smiled.
"Wait a minute." An Fei looked at the heat of the soup and said awkwardly: "I forgot that we don't have a spoon..."
"I have it here." The mercenary smiled and took out a spoon.
An Fei took the spoon and looked at it carefully. It was a very ordinary silver spoon. In the magical world, people who live a decent life basically use silver tableware. Even the aloof king also prefers silver tableware. When holding a banquet, this thing is even more indispensable. Most people know that silver items can react with many poisons, and using silver tableware can send out a signal to reassure the host and the many guests who come to the banquet.
An Fei gently scooped it up with a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of rotten stew, brought it to his mouth and swallowed it. The taste of the soup was actually not that good. It can't be said to be unpleasant, but it was definitely not delicious. There was a lack of ingredients. Too much.
"It's cooked and ready to drink." An Fei handed the spoon back.
The mercenary took the soup spoon and looked at the fish soup with a smile, but his eyes fell on the soup spoon from time to time. After waiting for a moment and seeing that the soup spoon didn't react, he shook it a few times and scooped it up. A spoonful of soup.
A soft sound suddenly came from among the mercenaries on the opposite side, like the sound of steel objects colliding. The mercenary who was about to swallow the soup was slightly stunned for a moment, and then put the spoon into his mouth. Then he wiped his mouth with his hand, smiled at An Fei and said, "Not bad, not bad."
Although his movements were skillful and natural, the light steam rising from his arms could not hide from An Fei's eyes. An Fei knew that the mercenary did not drink the soup, but spit it out by wiping his mouth. In the sleeve.
"More?" An Fei smiled.
"No, this is your lunch, why are you so embarrassed?" The mercenary smiled and shook his head, jumped to the other side of the stream, turned around and said, "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." An Fei replied while inserting the branch that stirred the fish soup into the ground. Susanna's eyelashes suddenly trembled, while Riska stood up lazily and walked upstream of the creek.
A truly organized and disciplined violent group basically has a unique way of delivering messages. The wink method is too straightforward and too stupid, because people can see it and the other party can see it. This method can Use it but not use it frequently. In many special situations, seemingly random and natural movements are the only option to send out secret signals.
"Hey, there are a lot of fish here too!" Riska shouted.
"Forget it, the fish soup is ready."
"Who can eat that little fish?" Riska shook her head and chanted a spell in a low voice. A thick spring sprang up from the stream, and among the sprays of water, there were several fish. Is struggling desperately.
However, Riska's control was obviously not good enough, so the fish fell on the shore, and the splash of water hit Riska, making Riska's hair and clothes wet all at once.
The mercenaries on the opposite side let out low laughter. Riska's face turned red with anger. He stared at the fish swimming in the stream and recited a spell. Violent magic fluctuations came from him. .
Ordinary people can see that Riska is competing with those fishes. Several mercenaries looked at Riska indifferently, waiting for Riska's tricks. It was natural for only two mercenaries. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword and looked at Riska out of the corner of his eye.
So cautious! An Fei was a little surprised, but he said jokingly: "Okay, do you need to make such a big splash after catching a few fish?"
Susanna stood up slowly and walked to Riska. Ever since the mercenary seven appeared, she had never let the other party see her face.
An Fei took a deep breath, and the scene in the distance made him say something incomprehensible: "Stop making trouble, we should leave here."
"Ah?" Riska was stunned. The purpose of his short play was not to catch fish, but to deal with those mercenaries! The magic had been chanted, and An Fei was waiting for him to get angry, but what was waiting for him was the order to give up.
Susanna felt a little relaxed, but also a little disappointed. She was relaxed because she didn't want to hurt others. If she hadn't been with An Fei at this moment, she might have looked for opportunities to start taking action. Susanna knew that her opponent was difficult to deal with, and she had the advantage in numbers. Very good in the end
Both sides suffer losses. She was disappointed because she had regarded An Fei as her lifelong support and the closest person she shared through thick and thin. In her subconscious, An Fei should make the decision for her without hesitation.
"Let's go!" An Fei tidied up his clothes without looking away, poured all the rotten stew in the crystal box on the ground, put away the crystal box, turned and walked towards the upper reaches of the stream, Susanna and Riska Then he followed An Fei silently.
"Hey, brother, why don't you want the fish soup?"
"It's a bit urgent." An Fei turned around and smiled.
The mercenaries looked at each other suspiciously. An Fei's approach could easily create the illusion that there was indeed something wrong with the fish soup! But it was just a suspicion. After all, there was not enough evidence. Generally, no one would be willing to fight with others without conflict of interest. Several mercenaries chose to watch An Fei disappear into the forest with cold eyes. In the middle, the mercenary who was very interested in fish soup quickly took out the spoon he was using and observed it carefully.
Susanna would rather forget this matter than ask anything. She was afraid that she and An Fei would be estranged, so she kept silent. However, Riska couldn't help it. After walking a mile, he began to ask softly. : "An Fei, what happened?"
"People from the Shansha Empire are catching up." An Fei said slowly. At that time, he saw a dozen people dressed as mercenaries walking into his observation range from behind. Although the mercenaries' uniforms were different, except for the two leaders, the others had trousers hanging from their waists. The long swords are exactly the same!
The reason why mercenaries are called miscellaneous soldiers is not because they are not strong enough. In terms of individual combat capabilities, their strength is far higher than that of ordinary soldiers. The words "miscellaneous army" describe the lack of uniformity among mercenaries. The outfit looks messy. Even the four major super mercenary groups, their mercenaries are the same, with all kinds of leather armor, all kinds of weapons that they feel comfortable with, all kinds of distinctive personalities, and full of habits of personal heroism. These combined together are called mercenaries.
Clothes can be changed, which doesn't affect anything. Weapons cannot be changed. Ordinary soldiers and low-level generals are accustomed to using the army's standard weapons. Of course, such a big flaw cannot be hidden from An Fei's eyes.
Susanna and Riska looked at each other, and in unison they accelerated forward with An Fei.
An Fei was still observing the creek. The dozen or so people from the Flash Sand Empire finally faced the seven mercenaries. After a brief confrontation, a man from the Flash Sand Empire walked over and met the seven mercenaries. The group talked for a while and gestured. Then he took out a small bag and handed it to the mercenaries. The leader among the mercenaries took the bag and poured out a dozen of them. Gold coins, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then he pointed in the direction where An Fei and others were walking.
Another person from the Flash Sand Empire stepped forward, this time giving more gold coins. The mercenary leader hesitated for a moment and waved his hand. The remaining six mercenaries all stood up and packed their belongings. Obviously, a transaction that violated the basic rules of the mercenary country and evaded taxes was completed quickly!
The more An Fei observed, the more surprised he felt. Each of the seven mercenary groups seemed to be good at tracking. There was almost no deviation in the route they tracked. An Fei had already played the game of "Four Crosses of Chishui", but unfortunately he didn't hide it. Every jumping point of the opponent was accurately found by the seven mercenaries!
Especially the mercenary who was very interested in fish soup. His tracking skills were obviously the best. With him as the center, the other six mercenaries formed a 'V' shaped search array and moved forward quickly. Pushing forward.
What surprised An Fei even more was that Dadani Bailey attached great importance to An Fei, and he didn't know what kind of signals the pursuers of the Shansha Empire used. One after another, small teams wearing standard weapons Appear in his observation range! Now Anfei is grateful to Buzuliano from the bottom of his heart. If it were not for his gift, he might not know anything about being surrounded!
"Suzanne, you and Riska go first!" An Fei stopped.
"Ah? An Fei, what did you see?" Susanna asked in surprise.
"Some very annoying people." An Fei said lightly: "Riska, remember to leave signals for me along the way, otherwise I won't be able to find you."
"Let Riska go first, I'll go with you!"
"I'm just causing trouble for them, and then I'll go find you. Don't worry about me." An Fei smiled. It's not that he didn't believe in Susanna's strength. The key is that Susanna is good at frontal combat, but this time it's different. Bringing Susanna will actually affect his performance.
"I don't!" Susanna shook her head.
"Baby, be good!" An Fei's words made Susanna blush, and her attitude became less determined: "I can handle it myself."
