Yalin, who was sitting on the throne in the Ice Crystal Hall, slowly returned to reality from the memories of the White Dragon King. In the past two days, Yalin spent most of his time checking the memories of the White Dragon King. In order to find a way to merge the consciousness of Luo Jie'an and Bai Long, because there are only 5 days left to maintain the spell on Luo Jie'an to ensure that her consciousness will not be annexed. But what is helpless is that the White Dragon King, who has lived for thousands of years, has a very large memory. Since Yalin can only rely on intuition to find the information he wants, he has not been able to find it. In addition, there is not much time left, which makes Yalin very frustrated. Distressed.
Now he should be racing against time to search for memories. Yalin stopped to check the studio because the summoned elemental creature Ice Crystal Falcon sent back the news. Through the power of ice remaining in the female mage Relis, he continued day and night for several days. In pursuit, the Ice Crystal Falcon had already caught up with its prey before it escaped from the forest.
This feeling┉┉Can anyone help her
Thousands of kilometers away, Yalin has stretched his magic power to the limit. Due to the distance problem, Yalin, who perceives things through elemental creatures, can only get some vague information. The force was moving forward rapidly, which was not something an exhausted girl could do. Besides, Yalin also felt some other souls moving together beside her.
Yalin can still roughly distinguish some people in the blurry and clean environment. There are about ten people in this team, three of whom can feel the magic fluctuations, and the others seem to be ordinary warriors from the flow of breath. Through Gretel's memory, Yalin guessed that these people might be mercenaries hired by slave traders in the free city.
"I wonder if that girl has already told what happened here." Although it has been learned from Gretel's memory that the female mage Relis is disgusted with slave traders, and she is also aware of what happened in the Yanold Mountains. How important it is, but Yalin, who was sitting on the throne, was still worried about extraneous matters and murmured to himself: "There is no other way! It is safer to deal with these people together, but first Reilis must be silenced!"
Under the transmission of Yalin's consciousness, the ice crystal falcon above the forest increased its speed again and flew towards the target not far away. Five high-level elemental creatures dealt with a man who had exhausted his magic power and was exhausted. The female mage is definitely overqualified. Even though the combat level of that team is better than that of the investigation team led by Gretel, the number of people is still too small and they have no chance of winning against five high-level elemental creatures.
=========================================
Urgent marches are something that mercenaries who are accustomed to life on the battlefield have become accustomed to. Although Relis is a mage, her physique is pretty good. In normal times, she would not be able to march this kind of day and night.
She can still hold on, but now that Relis has just escaped death and her body is still in an extremely weak state, this kind of high-load march is not stressful for the female mage and it is a life-threatening situation!
They were approaching the edge of the Mist Forest. Although the wind and snow were no longer very strong, the weather was still very cold. Maggie held the reins and looked at the female mage in front of her with sweat on her face. It was obvious that she was sweating in such a cold environment. Not a normal reaction.
"Are you ok?"
Relis supported herself and nodded, "No problem. Where are we now?"
"It only takes one day to leave the forest area, and then we will enter a safe area." After knowing that the female mage in front of her had deceived her and her group, Maggie's attitude became more or less cold.
Relis nodded and suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know which mercenary group you were from after you rescued me."
Facing this question, Maggie was a little stunned. Before she could answer, a mercenary next to her had already come over and said proudly: "Beautiful Miss Mage, I wonder if you listened when you were silent in the magical world. Did you mention the most famous mercenary group in Free City? "
Obviously, this mercenary probably wanted to win the favor of the female mage in front of him, and he still had a sophisticated feeling in his words. However, Reilis obviously did not notice this aspect and said: "The most famous person in the free city... Mercenary group?"
"It seems that Miss, you are too focused on the research of magic and have not heard the news from the outside." The mercenary shook his head helplessly and showed the mercenary group's badge and said: "Split-tooth battle axe! I have completed countless difficult and dangerous tasks, and I am free. The most famous and powerful mercenary force in the city is us! "
Relis, who has reached level 12 at a young age, does spend most of her time on magic research and learning, but this does not mean that she does not accept news from the outside world at all. Relis has heard a little bit about the Tomahawk Mercenary Group. After all, powerful beings such as killing the Abyss Multiple-headed Lizard and killing the Violent Cyclops were all completed by their mercenary group, but compared to the Split-Tooth Tomahawk Mercenary Group, As for the mercenary group itself, what impressed Relis even more was the leader of this mercenary group, the eternal undefeated champion of the Free City Arena—Gelkat Casa!
After hearing the mercenary's self-introduction, Relis turned her head involuntarily and cast her eyes towards the man at the back of the team. If she remembered correctly, he did say that he was the leader of the team after he woke up.
After noticing that Reilis turned her attention to the leader who was following the team, Maggie waved her hand to the mercenary who was chatting with her and said with a "You're out of luck" expression: "It seems that compared to the entire mercenary group, there are still Our leader needs to be more famous."
Alas~! The mercenary sighed softly and looked at Relis again before riding a horse and walking aside. Only then did Relis come back to her senses and looked at Maggie with regret and said: "I'm sorry, I pay too much attention to magic research. I didn’t pay much attention to what was happening outside.”
"It doesn't matter. It seems that you at least know our leader." Maggie said with an indifferent attitude.
When mentioning Gelkate, Relis said in disbelief: "Although I have heard rumors, I really didn't expect this legendary mercenary to be so young."
"Young!?" Maggie burst out laughing and said, "Hahaha! Almost everyone who meets the leader for the first time will say this, but do you know how old our leader is this year?"
"No┉┉I don't know."
Maggie patted Reilis on the head and pointed at the strong man Coleman in front of her and said, "How old do you think that big man is this year?"
Relis looked in the direction of Maggie's finger and said, "It looks like... he's probably over 40 years old."
"The guess is correct, but did you know?" Maggie was stunned for a moment and lowered her voice and said in Relis' ear: "Coman met the leader twenty years ago and became his subordinate."
Relis turned her head to look at Maggie in surprise and said, "Twenty years ago! How is this possible?"
"Our leader only looks young on the outside. In fact, he is 36 years old this year."
"What!? Impossible." Relis grinned with an incredulous expression.
"Oh~ let's not talk about you. If it weren't for the fact that Coman had been following the leader a long time ago, it would be impossible for even our subordinates to believe it."
"Isn't Gelkate a human being?" Probably the meeting with the mysterious man in the Yanold Mountains left a little shadow on Relis's psychology. At this moment, she asked with some fear, although there were some Nobles and rich people can achieve a youthful appearance with luxurious beauty and maintenance, but Gerkat obviously does not look like this type of person. Either he is extremely talented or he is not human at all in blood, just like Princess Luo Jie'an's 'Yinxue' bloodline is the same.
"Who knows?" The dark-skinned female mercenary sighed and looked at Gelkate in the distance with a rare tenderness in her eyes: "Everyone has guessed sometimes, but the leader never said it and we didn't dare. Go ask him. As time goes by, no one wants to ask about the identity of the leader except those mercenary groups and organizations that are against us. For us, as long as he leads us to victory, he will always be the Split Tooth Battle Ax. Leader, not only our mercenary group, but also the entire Free City has formed this tacit understanding."
"We have a tacit understanding┉┉" She didn't expect that Gerkat would have so many mysterious deeds. Reilis softly savored the last meaning of this sentence.
"You know, Relis, it's not a good thing for us mercenaries that this profession is too famous." Maggie suddenly changed the topic and said.
"Really? Being famous doesn't mean you can receive more commissions. What's wrong with that?" Relis asked with some confusion.
Maggie smiled softly and said to Relis as if she were looking at a newbie: "It is precisely because the Split-Tooth Battle Ax is so famous that many other mercenary groups regard us as the first target for elimination."
"How could this happen?" Relis whispered in surprise, because the rumors about the Split Tooth Ax mercenary group that she usually came across all boasted about the mercenary group and its leader Gelkate. A mercenary group that is as invincible as a god and can command the wind and rain in the free city. It is an elite warrior that can defeat a hundred enemies. As long as one shouts, the entire mercenary group in the free city will circle around the split-tooth battle axe.
When Reilis told the rumors she had heard all the time, Maggie laughed and said, "Miss Wizard, you have the same idea as those rookies who just joined our mercenary group, so let me tell you. In reality, Split Tooth Tomahawk is indeed the most famous mercenary group in Free City, but it is precisely because we are so famous that other mercenary groups regard us as a thorn in their side in order to become famous┉┉"
"Think about it, if we can find an opportunity to annihilate the most famous Split Tooth Ax mercenary group in one fell swoop, what a huge honor it will be as long as word spreads. The mercenary group who usually fears our strength in the free city sees it. We are indeed nodding and bowing, but once we leave the free city, these mercenary groups are polite to us on the surface, but secretly they hope to find an opportunity to eliminate us and use our death to achieve their fame. "
Relis also understands Maggie's thoughts here. It is true that people's hearts are greedy, not to mention the life-threatening profession of mercenaries. In fact, there are many mercenaries in the entire continent who play the role of mercenaries and bandits at the same time. There are two roles, but there is also a union in the free city that specializes in managing mercenaries. This is to prevent some bandits and bandits from committing crimes from sneaking into the free city under the guise of mercenaries and using this place as a safe haven.
"Isn't there a mercenary union in the free city? Don't they manage these activities?"
"Mercenary union?" Maggie said as if she had heard the funniest joke: "You are too naive. The mercenary union only accepts some and issues commissioned tasks, provides material supplies and intelligence on the situation on the mainland, and then takes a commission from it. , the union will occasionally manage disputes between mercenary groups, but basically it is nothing. The free city is a place where the jungle preys on the strong. If we win, then the mercenary groups who attack us and do harm to us will naturally not be able to escape huge fines. , the punishment of eternal expulsion or even death, but if our Split Tooth Battle Ax is unfortunately destroyed by the opponent, the mercenary union will not waste time and energy on the loser who has lost his power. "
Maggie paused for a moment and her expression became subtle and continued: "In fact, the union only has to manage the attacks by some illegal mercenaries against national caravans and towns. After all, as the only free city on the continent that maintains self-control and maintains neutrality, even if No matter how wealthy the country is, it has a huge economic influence on all the countries in the mainland, but Free City does not want to become the target of public criticism. "
“┉┉┉┉”
"Haha! Maggie, you are right. The Free City has power and financial resources, but these two powers are never comparable to the most primitive power in the world┉┉" Just as Reilis was speechless, Gerkat Suddenly a horse came to the two of them.
"Oh! Chief."
"┉┉"
Maggie hurriedly said hello, but Relis just looked at Gelkate meaningfully without saying a word. Gelkate also glanced at Relis and lowered her voice and said: "Violence!"
If Yalin was also present, he would definitely applaud and support Gelkate’s opinion!
"Whether it is the supreme king or the extremely wealthy businessman, in the face of overwhelming violence, he will die like an ordinary person. Even if he occupies most of the wealth on the continent, the free city does not dare to stand openly against all the people. The opposite of the king. Smart businessmen know how to hide themselves in inconspicuous corners to avoid the eyes of the world, using money to lure others to work for their own interests, and then slowly eroding everything behind them like moths. ".
"Don't you also like those greedy businessmen in the Free City?" Relis asked carefully after supporting Gerkat's words.
Gelkate tilted his head and said with a cynical look: "No! No! No! Miss Mage, there is nothing wrong with the fact that it is natural for businessmen to pursue interests. We are mercenaries who collect money to do things according to our principles. In comparison┉┉”
When he said it normally, Gerkat suddenly came down and looked at the sky behind. Maggie was surprised to find that the leader who usually maintained a relaxed expression showed a confused look for the first time, and Relis followed suit. Gerkat's eyes looked behind him uneasily, but there was nothing except the falling white snow.
"This is really interesting!" Gelkate shouted to the marching mercenaries with a slightly nervous but inexplicable expression of excitement: "Pay attention to me, little ones, get ready for battle. , there will be guests coming later.”
