Time goes back to 10 days ago, south of Sike City.
Ryan and Alando were walking side by side on the road. They had just walked out of the south gate of Seke City and were about to walk to Yignas City in the south.
There are quite a lot of people passing through Seike City from north to south. Seike City is the main transportation route between the north and the south of the empire. Horses from the north, timber from the south, ores from the west, seafood from the east... The merchant guilds that operate these goods are transporting them. Most people will pass by here when carrying goods, or simply trade here. After selling the goods, they can purchase other goods on the spot.
In order to ensure the safety of goods during transportation, most chambers of commerce will hire some mercenaries to guard against thieves on the road. As an important transportation artery between the north and the south, Sike City is a place where mercenaries gather. A large number of mercenaries will also come here continuously from the surrounding small cities, waiting for others to hire them.
Ryan and Alando originally had a plan to follow a Chamber of Commerce cargo carriage south. It was not that they lacked gold coins, they just wanted to experience this kind of experience. Unfortunately, they encountered the incident of the Blood Hand Mercenary Group, which caused Ryan to They were no longer interested.
"Please wait!" a young man's voice sounded.
Ryan turned around and saw two mercenaries standing on the roadside. One was about forty years old, and the other was about twenty years old.
The young man walked up in a few steps, smiled at Ryan and Allen, and said, "We have been waiting for you here since the sun came up. As expected by the leader, you really came here." road.”
Ryan and Allen looked at each other, and they communicated quickly with their eyes. Everyone felt that the two people in front of them had nothing to do with the Blood Hand Mercenary Group, because if the Blood Hand Mercenary Group wanted to sneak attack on them, they should not Call yourself out in public.
So Ryan asked: "What do you want from us?"
The young man smiled and said, "To be honest, our leader and I were in the mercenary guild yesterday and saw how you taught Xue Hand a lesson."
Ryan nodded but said nothing.
The young man continued: "My name is Tedain, and I am a member of the Six Arrows mercenary group. This is our leader, Burry." After speaking, the young man turned to the middle-aged man next to him. One finger.
The middle-aged man known as "Bury" said to Ryan and Alando: "Hello, you two. I am the leader of the Six Arrows mercenary group, and my name is Bury. I hope to invite you two to join us. Adventure, don’t know…”
Ryan looked at Allendo, who expressed his opinion with a look that said he might as well listen. Ryan said to Bury: "Can you let us know about the relevant matters of this mission first?"
Berry looked around and replied to Ryan: "Of course, but there are people coming and going here. Why don't you invite the two of you to come to our campsite to talk?"
Ryan thought to himself: "Even if they are sent by the Blood Hand Mercenary Group, with the skills of himself and Allendo, they may not have anything to fear. If you find anything wrong, leave immediately."
Thinking of this, Ryan agreed to Bury's request: "Okay, please lead the way."
"Please follow me." Berry walked in front and led the way. Tedion asked Ryan and Allen to walk in the middle, and he walked at the back.
Ryan and Allen were on full alert. After all, they were not familiar with each other, so there was no harm in being careful. However, Berry and his camp were not far from here. They turned from a path and walked into a low jungle. After walking for a while, a clearing appeared in front of them.
A blazing bonfire was lit in the middle of the clearing, and four tents were erected around the bonfire. Four or five people were sitting around the bonfire, and one was standing in the other direction of the clearing, apparently on guard.
Seeing Bury coming back with the two young men, the man in charge of the guard immediately notified his companions, and everyone stood up and greeted Bury.
Berry greeted everyone warmly, and then invited Ryan and Allen to come to the campfire.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, and only Tedion was busy. He placed a clean and skinned scimitar-horned antelope on the bonfire, smoked it, and spread it with various seasonings. It seemed that he was preparing it for everyone. It’s lunch.
Berry looked at Ryan and Alando, and said with a smile: "That's it, I am the leader of the Six Arrows mercenary group. We are now preparing to complete a more dangerous and exciting adventure. We hope to get the help of these two people." .”
Ryan and Allendo listened quietly and did not speak. Of course, Ai and the others would not relax their vigilance because of this. Allendo's muscles were tense, like a cheetah full of explosive power. As long as these few people around him If this guy makes the slightest unfriendly move, Alando will immediately attack, and Ryan holds his hands tightly. A small ball of fire elements has gathered in his palms. If there is any exciting scene, Ryan will definitely Be sure to cover the entire clearing with these two fireballs.
Burry seemed to have guessed some of Ryan and Allen's psychology. He smiled. After all, the two young men in front of him had just united with the bloody mercenaries yesterday. If they were careless in front of strangers and seemed to have no defense, then Burry would There is nothing more dangerous than leaving your back to careless companions on an adventurous journey.
Bury pretended not to know about Ryan and Alando's precautions. He continued: "We received a request from a client three months ago. His ancestor was a famous king. Unfortunately, his family has now declined. In order to restore the family's prestige, he decided to hire us to dig for treasures in his ancestors' tombs."
Bury's words made Ryan and Allen look at each other in confusion: "Isn't this too unbelievable? Asking someone to dig the tombs of your ancestors?"
Bury smiled and continued: "This famous ancient king's tomb is very hidden, and opening the tomb requires some special items from his family. Our client can tell the address of the tomb in detail. , and provided items to unlock the goal, and he even drew some maps and mechanisms of the tomb, which saved us a lot of effort in our previous adventures."
"Maybe it was too long ago, and the mechanism hidden deep in the tomb was not known to him. We slowly cleared it all the way in, but something happened accidentally and we lost two teammates on the spot." At this point, Bury sighed, and those around him lowered their heads.
Ryan nodded. It seemed that Bury invited himself and Allendo just for this reason. He asked, "What are your plans?"
When Barry heard what Ryan said, he knew that Ryan had been impressed, so he persuaded Ryan: "The mechanism deep in the tomb is very powerful, and it seems to hide something terrible. We were not prepared enough last time, so we failed. After We planned carefully, we specially prepared a large number of items to crack the mechanism, and also invited a priest friend." At this point, Berry pointed to a man wearing a priest's attire next to him, and the man nodded at Ryan He nodded and gave a friendly hello. Ryan also nodded to him and returned the salute.
