"What's your name?" Gelkate asked after the female assassin put the throwing knife back into the slot on her belt.
"Miram! I don't have a last name." The female assassin Milam replied softly.
Gelkate nodded and commented on the female assassin's actions just now: "The knife, gestures and movements were all done in one go. The blow just now was generally quite good. The two daggers are also semi-precision weapons. Are you interested in joining us? Splittooth Battleaxe."
Milam smiled slightly when he heard this and said coldly: "As an assassin, I am not suitable to fight head-on on the battlefield."
"Outside the Free City is the world of warriors, and within the Free City is the country of assassins."
Milam was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly and saluted Gerkat, a standard mercenary benefit.
Anweina on the side looked at Gelkate with some shyness and nervousness. Until now, the girl didn't know what position she held in Gelkate's heart. What Anweina was most afraid of at the moment was that Gelkate took out a big If you give yourself money, then you will become like an ordinary prostitute. Although she seems to be prospering in the North, the girl also knows that she is helpless. Although she can always use her appearance to deceive some fools who are confused by her beauty, not everyone can. You are a fool. The more you deceive, the harder it will be to deceive the next person. Maybe one day you make a mistake and deceive someone you shouldn't deceive, and then your end may be very miserable.
"By the way, Anweina, are you good at tracking monsters?"
While Anweina was thinking nervously, Gerkat's voice immediately lifted the girl's spirits: "Ah~~that┉┉I know how to track monsters."
"Very well, do you accept my employment?"
"Of course!" Anweina agreed without even thinking.
The eyes of the surrounding mercenaries looking at Anweina suddenly changed. Just now, Gerkat indeed said that he was tracking Warcraft instead of beasts. Anyone with good wild survival skills can track beasts, but Warcraft is a monster that can use some magic. . They have extremely strong survivability and generally have a higher IQ than wild beasts and even know how to cover up their tracks. Of course, the leather, flesh, and even magic cores of Warcraft are important materials for potions and forging, but few people in the mainland know that. How to track World of Warcraft, but I didn’t expect that Anweina, the little fox in the North, actually knew how to track World of Warcraft. If this news got out, Anweina’s worth would skyrocket.
Anweina's expression suddenly became strange and she finally asked: "Your Excellency Gelkate, why do you know that I know how to track monsters?"
Gelkate suddenly pulled Anweina into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Because you are from Messali, tracking monsters is your natural ability."
Anweina's expression suddenly changed!
The Messali people are a legendary tribe on the mainland. It is said that this tribe first existed in a mountain range in the eastern part of the continent, where it is close to the magic distortion zone and produced a large number of magical beasts. For a long time, this tribe has been trying to capture and To defend themselves against the invasion of Warcraft, whenever tribesmen reach adulthood, they will use a secret technique to inject the blood of Warcraft into their own bodies to gain part of the power of Warcraft. This will also allow the tribesmen to naturally know how to sense the breath of Warcraft. Unfortunately, it was precisely because of this unique ability that when the Messarians appeared in front of the world, greedy people who wanted to make huge profits from Warcraft aimed their swords at this tribe, using whips and shackles to force Messarians. Benefiting people become tools to capture monsters.
"Your bloodline has faded, but your talent for tracking monsters is still there. I know the current situation of the Messali people, but I can guarantee that as long as the Split Tooth Ax Mercenary Group is still there, no one will dare to try to hit you. Pay attention." Gelkate looked around and whispered to Anweina who was a little nervous.
Anweina finally felt relieved. Her identity was her biggest secret, and also the most terrifying secret. Many times Anweina even deliberately forgets her identity, because the greed and viciousness of human nature are more terrifying than wild beasts. She is not willing to be caught and put in shackles after others know this secret, and become a tool used to hunt down monsters. Now being able to get the guarantee and promise of the strongest mercenary is like having a life-saving amulet for Anweina.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Gelkate." Anweina smiled tenderly and kissed Gelkite on the face: "I don't know what kind of monster you want to capture. Can you tell me about it?"
"Dragon lizard!"
Dragon lizard! ? Anweina was stunned for a moment, and even the mercenaries on the side who originally wanted to join in to share the pie immediately backed down. The dragon lizard is a very terrifying monster with extremely hard scales and a huge body. And it can also breathe some breath into the legendary giant dragon. It is said that this kind of monster's physical strength has a little dragon blood. Even the manticore and the cyclops will be scared to death when they see the dragon lizard.
The last time, a dragon lizard broke into a town in the Kingdom of Karut and ate a lot of people. The Kingdom of Karut had to dispatch the army and more than a dozen mages to deal with the dragon lizard, but Karut The king still suffered more than 200 casualties, and a town was leveled. Fortunately, the number of dragon lizards is very rare. The Karut Kingdom dispatched troops to deal with dragon lizards happened more than 20 years ago. There are no reports of dragon lizards appearing again on the mainland┉┉
"Eight years ago, the Kingdom of Saxony also received a report of the appearance of a dragon lizard, and the location was the Forest of Mist. However, the Kingdom of Saxony blocked the news at that time to avoid panic. This time, my target is this dragon lizard." While speaking, Erkat looked at Anweina: "Are you scared?"
"No~ there is nothing to be afraid of as Sir Gerkat is here." Although she was still a little scared now, Anweina knew that she had no way out.
"It turns out that the Saxon royal family hired Your Excellency Gerkat to come here."
The mercenaries suddenly realized that this was the reason why the strongest mercenary suddenly appeared in the border town in the far north. Gelkate waved his hand. In fact, killing the dragon lizard was not part of his plan, it was just a spur of the moment decision.
"I don't remember that the royal family hired you, Mr. Gerkat, to come here. Moreover, the dragon lizard has not appeared in eight years. Whether it still stays in the forest of mist is still a question."
A loud voice suddenly came from behind everyone, and there was a burst of noise at the door, followed by the sound of neat footsteps on the ground with leather shoes. Soldiers from the Kingdom of Saxony wearing standard armor surrounded the entire Snowfield House Hotel. Prince Rost walked into the hotel under the escort of two high knight captains.
"Hey, what kind of wind has brought you here, Your Highness?" Gerkat still replied slowly, as if he didn't care about Rost's identity at all.
The other mercenaries didn't have the courage of Gerkat. After all, he was the prince of a country. No one was willing to offend such a person. Even Anweina, who was sitting on Gerkat, hurriedly stood up and saluted Rost. Rost waved his hand to signal the mercenaries to leave, and then sat opposite Gerkat.
"I heard, Lord Gelkate, that you want to enter the Forest of Mist." Rost asked, looking at Gelkate.
"Yeah! Is there any problem?"
Rost narrowed his glasses and took a deep breath before replying: "I think I might want to say sorry, Lord Gelkate. No one is allowed to enter the Mist Forest now."
After learning that the legendary mercenary in the Free City had come to Bellica Town and was preparing to enter the Forest of Mist, Rost rushed here as soon as possible. Rost had already heard about it from Relis, the student of the court mage Gretel, who was rescued by Gerkat when escaping from the Mist Forest, and Gerkat also showed extraordinary fighting ability. He even killed two high-level elemental creatures called ice falcons sent by the ancient gods, and even an elemental lord was eliminated by him.
Now Gelkate is returning to the Mist Forest. If he is informed by Yalin, the ancient god who rules the Yanold Mountains and the Mist Forest, then whether Gelkate angers the ancient god or is killed by the ancient god, In the Forest of Mist, the punishment from the gods or the pressure from the free city are both unimaginable disasters for the Kingdom of Saxony.
"Why?"
"Summer is coming to an end and the snowstorm in the Mist Forest is about to come. Entering the Mist Forest at this time is an act of suicide. And please forgive me for saying something unpleasant, Your Excellency Gerkat, you died in the Kingdom of Saxony, right? It will be a disaster for the entire Kingdom of Saxony, at least the merchants in the Free City will not let go of this good excuse to put pressure on the Kingdom of Saxony." Rost stated the reason very directly, and he was very convincing and well-founded. One cannot refute it.
"I understand all of this, but what if I insist on entering?" Gerkat looked at Rost with a wicked smile.
Rost's eyes darkened and he said with a sigh. "Then I can only order you to be temporarily arrested and deported. Please don't forget Mr. Gerkat. You don't have the guarantee document from the Free City this time. The Free City will have nothing to say by then."
"It's an interesting idea, but do you think your people can handle me?"
"I don't think so, but no matter how strong you are, as long as you are not a tireless undead, there will always be a moment when you run out of strength." Rost looked at Gerkat with cautious eyes: "And our Kingdom of Saxony also I’m willing to pay the price.”
Gerkat shrugged and said with some surprise: "Is it worth this sacrifice to catch me alone?"
"worth!"
Rost replied without hesitation that without the protection of the ancient gods, the Kingdom of Saxony could only return to the state of war with the Og barbarians every year. The casualties caused by the battle with Gelkat were no more than the annual war with the Og barbarians. Bring casualties. No matter what, even if it cost an entire army to die or be injured, Rost was determined not to let Gelkate enter the forest of mist.
Looking at Rost's eyes, Gerkat also knew very well that His Royal Highness the Prince was serious this time. If he refused, he would have to fight the King of Saxony here first.
Tangled! This is how Gerkat feels now.
