The White Bear Mercenary Group is one of several well-known mercenary groups in Pine Wind City. It has more than 50 professionals, plus related staff, the entire mercenary group has more than 100 people. There are not many mercenary groups maintaining such a scale, so the White Bear Mercenary Group is quite famous in the mercenary world. n∈n∈,
Duke is a small captain of the White Bear Mercenary Group. Today, as usual, he took his team to patrol the North Morning Forest, because a few years ago, their mercenary group signed a According to the contract, within 50 years, all materials produced on the land in Beichenlin will be owned by the White Bear Mercenary Group.
On the surface, there is nothing in Beichen Forest, but the core members of the mercenary group like Duke know that there is a relic from the ancient times buried under the land of Beichen Forest. There are no traps in the ruins, but there are many powerful monsters living and wandering inside. These monsters are different from the common monsters on the surface. They can not only see things in the dark, but also have a very fast movement speed, and Amazing sense of hearing and smell.
The White Bear Mercenary Group organized personnel to explore the ruins several times. The powerful monsters in the ruins caused the mercenary group to suffer heavy losses. Fortunately, they found a few discarded magic tools from the ancient times on the outer upper layer of the ruins. It cannot be used, but it was sold to the Cyan Magic Tower, and a lot of gold coins were exchanged, which can be regarded as recovering a lot of losses.
The peripheral things are already so valuable. If you go deep and explore the entire ruins, you will definitely find more and more valuable ancient relics. Therefore, the upper echelon of the White Bear Mercenary Corps now regards Bei Chenlin as a taboo and does not allow other professional mercenaries. Or explorers come and go at will, of course, those aristocrats who like to go here for outings are not included. These rich and noble families generally do not investigate things like ruins. They usually come to hunt and look for some excitement.
The White Bear Mercenary Corps is in contact with powerful and trustworthy professionals, as long as the personnel are fully assembled. Going to explore the ruins again in the near future, but not until then. It is necessary to do a good job in the protection of the relics, and not let outsiders take the lead.
During today's routine inspection, it was discovered that someone had sneaked into Beichen Forest, but they didn't realize it. Although there is no sign of them now. But the traces on the ground can't be faked.
The person in charge of tracking and detecting clues is a thin man. Generally speaking, scouts are thin men. Firstly, they are quick-witted, and secondly, if they are petite, it is easy to hide and avoid other people's sight and reconnaissance.
The thin man's name is Locke, and he is a middle-aged man who likes to wear a green hat, because according to his experience, wearing a green hat lurks in the grass, and when he is in the woods, the chances of others finding him will become very low.
Locke crouched down. Touching the ashes on the ground, and walking around, he opened his little triangular eyes. Said to Duke: "One fire point, seven tents, and the footprints are six light and one middle. Ordinary people can't achieve this level. They are obviously professionals. They went to the woods here. In addition, according to the remaining Judging from the smell. And judging from the animal bones, they are very particular about what they eat. There are many flavors. This is not the style that mercenaries or adventurers should have. I personally think they are nobles. After all, there are many professionals among the nobles .”
Duke nodded. He glanced at the woods over there, and then said: "Since they are nobles, we will ignore them. Continue to patrol according to the original plan."
After speaking, Duke left the grassland with his five subordinates and headed elsewhere.
Liang Lidong and others hid in the woods, watched the other party leave, and then came out from inside.
"It's useless to set up a trap." Katerina looked into the distance, and then she smiled: "But this is good, so as not to trouble. I didn't know what this place was at first, but I knew it after seeing these people. This place is probably from the north. Chen Lin, I have also heard of the reputation of the white bear in the mercenary world, the stupid bear in front of their clothes or leather armor is well known in the mercenary world."
Liang Lidong frowned: "Listen to you, the White Bear Mercenary Group has a special relationship with Beichenlin?"
"Well, although they concealed the information very well, they sold a few magic devices not long ago, so the mercenary group suspected that the white bear mercenary group found a special relic in the North Morning Forest, so they were so nervous This place is patrolled from time to time."
After a pause, Katerina continued: "There are a lot of smart people in the mercenary world, and other forces have sneaked into Beichen Forest several times, but they found nothing, so many forces just ignore it , only kept the minimum level of attention to the actions of the White Bear Mercenary Group here in Beichenlin."
Liang Lidong's expression became more and more bad. The entrance to the ruins was hard to find, it was hidden in the woods, and he had to dig several meters into the ground to find it. In the game, they found that place with the help of this system of the game system. If other people want to find the entrance of the ruins without any guidance, unless they are lucky and mistakenly typed .
But now that more than 300 years have passed, it seems that it is not such a strange thing that someone accidentally discovered the entrance.
"Your Excellency Beta, our mission will not conflict with the White Bear Mercenary Group." Katerina looked at Liang Lidong and asked.
Liang Lidong looked at the other party and asked back: "If I say that's true, what do you think?"
"This shows that the danger of the mission will be greatly increased, and we will have to cause unnecessary trouble with the White Bear Mercenary Group afterwards." Katerina said with a businesslike look: "Therefore, we must increase the mission commission, double The price! The extra gold coins must be shared equally among the members of this mission."
"OK, no problem."
Liang Lidong readily agreed. On the surface, it seems that Katerina raised the commission in the middle of the mission, which is very unkind, but in fact Liang Lidong knows very well that Katerina is actually very face-saving. The original mission of going out to explore may actually be in conflict with another faction. Conflicts will inevitably increase the difficulty of the task. Katerina's appearance of raising the commission in a business-like manner is actually just an excuse to stop the mouths of the five subordinates and dissatisfaction.
After all, there is money. Everything is easy to handle, and even dissatisfaction will be reduced a lot.
After the matter was settled, everyone moved on. Because the terrain hardly changed, Liang Lidong took them up a small hill familiarly.
There are many forests on the top of the mountain. Hiding in them and looking down the mountain, one can see a hidden tower in the small forest at the foot of the mountain. There are four crossbows on the upper floor, facing four directions respectively. Moreover, there are looming figures on the tower.
"The entrance is near the tower." After observing for a while, Liang Lidong said: "But the sky is not completely dark yet, let's wait here. After all, you are all assassins, and it should be easier to operate at night."
Katerina nodded in agreement. As a member of the Assassin's Guild, she knew better how she would behave after the night.
at the same time. Duke led his team and patrolled to the western outskirts of the Northern Morning Forest. He looked at the sun that was about to set, and then at the distant woods that were dyed red by the setting sun. He said: "Let's go back to the place just now, Locke , you must find out the traces of the people there, understand?"
At this moment, his team members looked at him in surprise.
Duke asked: "Captain, didn't you just say to ignore those nobles?"
"Nobles?" Duke snorted coldly: "If it's a nobleman, how could there be only six people coming out? If it's a nobleman, how could they avoid us. Those bastards with eyes above the top will definitely let us follow them Action. Be their temporary subordinate and serve them without pay."
"Captain, since you think they are not nobles, why don't you deal with them from time to time?"
"They are hiding in the woods. If we rush in rashly, the consequences will be disastrous. Haven't you heard the words of Feng Lin Moru?" Duke smiled sinisterly: "Besides, they pretended to leave. This can paralyze them They are probably on their way now. Or they are looking for something. They will never guess that we will come back with a carbine...Staff, you go back to the mercenary group to inform the head of the group, and ask him to bring some people over to support, six professions Or, it’s a bit difficult to deal with, other people follow us, follow them first, and see what they want to do?”
Time passed quickly, and when the sun was completely submerged in the horizon, Liang Lidong flicked his fingers, and the fog driving magic spread, and the dense fog silently covered everything within a radius of 385 meters, including the small building at the foot of the mountain. The small tower, it just sits on the edge of the dense fog.
According to the information fed back by the dense fog, there are a total of eight guardians in the tower. Because the magic of driving fog will deprive the enemy of sight and hearing, the strength of these eight guardians is not strong, and they are in chaos at this time. Katerina and the others, who had been prepared for a long time, turned into six black shadows and quickly 'swimmed' close to the ground to the position of the tower.
Liang Lidong walked down the mountain slowly, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, Katerina had already come out of the tower, and she gestured to Liang Lidong with a 'mission completed' gesture. The guardians in the tower have all been knocked out by them, and they will never wake up within a few hours.
Liang Lidong withdrew the fog driving magic, and based on his memory, he walked to a place fifty meters west of the tower, jumped up there, then walked a few meters away, thrust his hands down, and went deep into the grass, and then Exhausting the strength of the whole body, lifted the wooden plank with the lawn.
Below the board is a slanted downward tunnel, which is very high, about two meters long. Liang Lidong jumped in first, and then Katerina and others followed suit.
Pass through a winding circular tunnel, this tunnel is not formed naturally, nor is it artificially built, but a passage dug by a large burrower.
The well water of the Goddess of Light is preserved in the ruins of the Zuze Kingdom, and the light is very strong. Therefore, the monsters living in this underground ruins generally grow much larger than those in other places.
The two-meter-tall digger is already considered the king of bugs in other places, but in this ruins, it is just an ordinary monster bug. But there is also a lot of this digging bug that makes holes indiscriminately, otherwise they would have to dig through more than 100 meters of soil if they wanted to enter this ruins.
It took more than ten minutes for the seven of them to go down the passage dug by the diggers, and soon they reached the exit of the tunnel, and were then entered into a flat underground world.
Although Katerina and the others were already prepared and knew that they might arrive at an unbelievable ruin, seeing the scene in front of them with their own eyes still made them gasp in amazement.
Their entrance is on a huge stone road. This road is at least 60 meters wide. On both sides of the road are tall buildings that are old and mottled. On top of their heads, there is a road that looks like an umbrella. A pale white giant magic barrier is running, it supports and protects the entire ruins, so that it will not be covered by the soil layer above.
This magic enchantment produced a weak light source, so that everyone could barely see things about ten meters away in front of them. The only person who was not affected was Liang Lidong, whose Yunlong Blue Eyes talent was so practical, and now he feels more and more that he chose this talent at that time, which was a perfectly correct decision.
Although the line of sight was poor, the members of the Assassin's Guild did not show any signs of wavering. They were originally a profession that operated secretly, and such an environment made them feel more intimate. This is also the reason why Liang Lidong sought help from the Killer Union, not the Mercenary Union.
"Attention everyone, if you continue to move forward, it will not be too safe. We will encounter many strange monsters. Their movements are very sensitive and their strength is very strong. But they are afraid of strong light. If it is really dangerous, you will Tear apart these magic scrolls, I temporarily poured enough magic elements into them, even ordinary people, within three hours, they can use these magic items."
Liang Lidong handed over six flash magic scrolls.
At the same time, Duke led his team, and under the tracking of the skinny Locke, they quickly found them.
Duke looked at the tower, and he sneered: "I knew these guys had no good intentions, they really came here for the ruins."
After a while, Locke ran out of the tower, and he said in a hurry: "Captain, the guardians of the tower have all fainted. Although no one died, we can't wake them up within the time limit."
When Locke heard this, he walked to the west side of the tower and quickly found the entrance of the ruins. Although Liang Lidong and the others covered the entrance after entering, there were still some traces left behind. Locke's face changed drastically. The wooden board at the entrance was lifted, and looking at a series of shallow shallow marks below, his expression became rather ugly: "They actually went in. Only three people in our mercenary group know this place. Who told them this secret?" ( )
