"Master Gray, we are ready to go!"
Three days later, in the morning, Alice reported to Gray Hui.
"Then let's go!"
Gray nodded and said.
Although the leader of the Mantis Mercenary Group has died, the plan to have the Red Wings Mercenary Group leave the Mercenary City has not changed.
It is impossible for Gray to sit in the mercenary city. If the Red Wings mercenary group wants to get Gray's protection, it is inevitable to move to the territory of the Fergus family.
Although there is also the option of drawing a clear line with Gray and continuing to stay in the mercenary city, and Gray will not mind, the Red Wings Mercenary Group has no such plan.
Although the leader of the Mantis mercenary group with the strength of the crazy blood warrior is dead, the Mantis mercenary group has not been destroyed because of this.
The strength of the Mantis Mercenary Group is still not weak. Without Gray's protection, the Red Wings Mercenary Group is still no match for the Mantis Mercenary Group.
Moreover, as mercenaries, the Mantis Mercenary Group is not the only one who has conflicts with the Red Wing Mercenary Group, but in comparison, the conflict with the Mantis Mercenary Group is more serious.
Without the Mad Blood Warrior in charge, it is inevitable that the Red Wings Mercenary Group will be suppressed by other conflicting mercenary groups.
Faced with this situation, the top management of the Red Wings Mercenary Group wisely chose to move to the territory of the Fergus family.
Next to her, Alice did not leave because of this, but looked at him with hesitation.
"What's wrong?"
Gray asked looking at her.
"When I learned that I was leaving the mercenary city, one fierce blood warrior, two high-level blood warriors, and four mid-level blood warriors had already withdrawn from the Red Wings Mercenary Group. In addition, there were more than seventy mercenaries. He has also withdrawn from the Red Wings Mercenary Group."
Alice said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, since you don't want to follow and leave, just let them do whatever they want."
Not all mercenaries are willing to follow and leave, which is normal. The Red Wings Mercenary Group has been rooted in the mercenary city for a long time, and it is normal for many people to be unwilling to leave their hometown.
Gray doesn't care about these people. For him now, even the combat power of a fierce-blooded warrior is just that, and he doesn't value them very much.
The combined combat power of the current Red Wings Mercenary Group cannot withstand a mad-level blood beast.
Such a mercenary group would be of extremely limited help to him.
The reason why he is willing to accept the Red Wings Mercenary Group is more because of the deal with the former mercenary leader of the Red Wings Mercenary Group.
"As expected, he left!"
"Fortunately, I left!"
In the wind and snow, the Red Wings mercenary group left the mercenary city.
Looking at the leaving Red Wings mercenary group, many mercenary groups subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
With Gray in charge, the combat power of the Red Wings Mercenary Group has not decreased but has increased, which puts them under a lot of pressure. Now that the Red Wings Mercenary Group has chosen to leave the Mercenary City, it is definitely a big deal for them. Good thing.
In the snow, the team of the Red Wings Mercenary Group moved forward slowly.
In the team, there were not only mercenaries from the Red Wing Mercenary Group, but also some family members of the mercenaries. The total number of people reached more than 300, making the team extremely long, with more than 30 carriages alone.
Gray sat in the original Fergus family carriage and read books leisurely. Because of the rune space bag, he was able to carry a large number of books with him.
The final result of the battle between two king-level experts three days ago is already known.
Although the Killer King was seriously injured, he finally managed to escape the Mercenary King's pursuit and disappeared.
Anyone who can reach the level of a king-level warrior must have a lot of life-saving means on his body.
It is easy to injure, but if you want to kill, unless there is a huge difference in realm between them, it is generally impossible to do so.
"Gray...Master!"
Opposite Gray were the female mercenary Alice and Hayley Hewlett, the daughter of the former Red Wing mercenary leader.
Looking at Gray who was reading a book, the girl Hailey had a look of hesitation on her face, but finally she weakly shouted.
"Um?"
Putting the book down temporarily, Gray raised his head and looked at the other person. He saw the other person wearing a cyan fur coat, sitting a little stiffly, holding a thick leather book in his hand.
Seeing Gray's gaze, the other party gritted his teeth slightly, then made a decision, stood up, handed the leather book in his hand to Gray, and said.
"Master Gray, this is the blood method my father practiced!"
Gray glanced at the cover of the leather book and saw "Flaming Bird" written on the cover.
Obviously, the blood method practiced by the former leader of the Red Wings Mercenaries should be the blood method of the Flame Bird sequence.
Without reaching out to pick it up, Gray shook his head slightly.
"Since it belongs to your father, you can keep it!"
Gray estimated that this Flame Bird serial blood method should have three levels of blood methods: ferocious level, mad level, and barbaric level.
Because it is a relatively rare bird sequence blood method, its value is much higher than that of ordinary blood methods. If it is auctioned, it should be able to fetch about two to three hundred thousand.
However, although two to three hundred thousand was a lot, he didn't take it seriously, and he couldn't do such a dishonorable thing as robbing a girl who had lost her father.
"But… "
The girl Haili had a look of struggle on her face. This book of blood magic was a relic left to her by her father, and she didn't want to hand it over in her heart.
But now, apart from being the daughter of the former mercenary leader, she has no relationship with the Red Wings Mercenary Group.
This situation made her very uneasy.
She didn't have much money on her.
Her father seemed to have had a premonition of his death before the duel. In order to protect her, most of his savings over the years had been given to the mercenary group as public funds for the mercenary group, leaving only her. Just tens of thousands of gold coins.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to give the most valuable thing she owned to Gray.
"Don't think about anything, just stay in the Red Wings Mercenary Group with peace of mind."
Seeing the hesitation and uneasiness in the other party's heart, Gray smiled slightly.
"The Red Wings Mercenary Group was your home in the past, and it is still your home now."
"Hailey, since Master Gray has said so, just put it away!"
After pulling the girl Hailey back to her seat distressedly, Alice touched the girl's hair, sighed and comforted her.
"And don't you still have us?"
"Sister Alice."
The girl Haili finally couldn't help but threw herself into Alice's arms and choked up.
Having lost my only relative, I am helpless, feeling hesitant and uneasy, not knowing where the future will go.
The inner helplessness caused the girl's heart to suffer extremely, and she finally let it out at this time.
At noon, the team stopped, set up a simple tent and prepared lunch.
Gray got off the carriage, chose a direction, and walked straight.
In the mercenary city, there was no place suitable for him to test the blood beast's ability, so in the past few days, he had been suppressing the urge to test the blood beast's ability.
Now that I have left the mercenary city, I finally have a chance.
Along the way, Gray finally found a deserted stone forest.
In the stone forest, rocks are piled up haphazardly, large or small, and there are a few sparse plants. Because the ground is stony, they do not grow lushly, and several plants are even bent by the thick snow. .
Looking at a boulder with a diameter of ten meters in the distance, an ice wind blade suddenly appeared in front of Gray.
This is an emerald green ice wind blade. Compared with the ice wind blade that Gray used before, the green color is darker.
It's less transparent and more textured.
If the previous wind blade was polished like mist on the surface of jade, then the current wind blade is completely polished with green jade.
Uh-huh!
The emerald green wind blade slashed out, and a sharp hissing sound erupted in the air.
puff-
The next moment, a clear crack appeared in the middle of the distant boulder.
It traverses the left and right sides of the boulder and cuts the boulder in half from the middle.
Kaka!
The air of ice was confused, and the surface of the boulder and even the surrounding area were suddenly filled with white ice.
Boom!
Finally, the upper boulder slid down and hit the ground with a loud bang, creating a rather shallow pit on the ground. A nearby area was covered in ice.
"The ice wind blade has become sharper!"
Gray's eyes brightened slightly as he looked at the boulder with a diameter of ten meters that was split in half.
It is certain that the power of the Ice Wind Blade has become stronger. Compared with the previous one, the current Ice Wind Blade is like a rusty weapon with its edge sharpened.
"The blood beast ability of the blade weasel is definitely integrated into the ice wind blade, otherwise it would not be so sharp."
This change in the Ice Wind Blade shows that the special wind blood beast ability of the Blade Weasel is indeed integrated into the Ice Wind Blade, making the Ice Wind Blade even sharper.
"Moreover, the fusion of the special blood beast ability of the wind system and the special blood beast ability of the ice seems to have caused some kind of qualitative change in the sharpness of the ice wind blade, making it sharper than the pure special ability of the wind system!"
Gray had fought against a blood beast of the same realm with special wind abilities. Although the opponent's wind blade was sharp, it was definitely not as good as it was now.
Obviously, the fusion of the special wind-type blood beast abilities and the ice-type special blood beast abilities, as Gray had originally guessed, has enhanced the power of the ice wind blade, becoming more powerful than the pure wind-type special abilities and ice-type special abilities. powerful.
"Can the current Ice Wind Blade be as powerful as a barbarian wind blood beast?"
Gray couldn't help but recall his only confrontation with a barbarian-level blood beast, which was when he fought the three-headed snake, and recalled the power of the opponent's wind blade ability.
After a moment, he came to a conclusion.
"If it is a "wind blade", the wind blade used by the three-headed snake should be sharper."
The wind blade displayed by the three-headed snake was too sharp and left a deep impression on Gray.
In comparison, although the current Ice Wind Blade is extremely sharp, it is still not as sharp as the three-headed snake.
"but."
Gray's eyes flashed sharply.
"With an attack like the Ice Wind Blade, even if I don't activate the blood beast's ability with all my strength, I can still chop out five of them. When the five are superimposed, the power may not be weaker than the wind blade used by the three-headed snake!"
