Dumb said: "We may go to the mercenary headquarters of the Red Hurricanes first, and then travel around the mainland. Brother Blood Skull, how about you?"
Bloody Skull said with a wry smile: "Our mercenary group encountered such a big setback this time, and saw the strength of the two brothers, which completely changed my previous arrogant thoughts. Hey, I want to let the mercenary group rest for a while. I'm going to go back to my master for further training. On the mainland, if you don't have enough strength, you can't go on. It seems that we were lucky in the past and didn't have any accidents. This time, we suffered such a heavy loss when we met a master. It really makes me feel ashamed Brothers, the blood will not be shed in vain, those bastards of the Dark Demon Race, one day I will seek revenge from them. By the way, if you return to the Tiangang Sword Sect, give the Tiangang Sword Master to the Tiangang Sword Master for my teacher Take it. Although they have been fighting for so many years, the Sword Master of Tiangang is the only person my master admires. The master once said that the only thing he can't surpass in this life is the Sword Master of Tiangang. It seems that the regret of the master must also be passed on. It's up to us. I'm afraid I can't surpass you!"
Dumb smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Brother, don't say that, your fire-attribute fighting spirit is still very powerful. I just have a better chance to have the current skill."
Bloody Skull laughed, and said: "Occasionally, chance is also very important. Well, let's not talk about it, wait for the task to be handed in later, I will invite you brothers to drink at the bar, and then we will part ways."
At this time, Mulatz had already come out, and he directed the workers of the caravan to move boxes of heavy goods into the building. After more than an hour of hard work, the goods transported by the Standing Alliance finally entered the building. Ku, and the skeleton mercenary group and the evil mercenary group finally completed their mission.
Muraz walked to the side of several people, smiled and said: "Leaders, it's really hard work, come and sit in the chamber of commerce, and I will also pay you what you deserve by the way."
The branch of the Stanley Alliance in Andis City looked nothing special from the outside, but when they entered the inside, everyone was shocked. Not only was the space spacious, but the decoration was also very gorgeous. The big casinos in Sunset Empire. Muraz smiled and said: "The chamber of commerce often has to negotiate some big deals here, so we have no choice but to decorate it more gorgeously, so as to show our strength and make those customers trust us more."
Muraz led the people into a large room of about 30 square meters, made tea for the five of them himself, and said solemnly: "This time, our Standi Chamber of Commerce Alliance can successfully transport the goods here, thanks to everyone for your great efforts. Help, I feel very sorry for the dead and injured brothers of the Skeleton Mercenary Corps." He bent down and took out the things he had just prepared, which were two leather bags, and he gave the smaller bag to Xuan Yue, Said: "The two regiment leaders have made great efforts in this operation. I promised to give the two of you a thousand gold coins as a reward, which is really too little. Here are forty-five diamond coins, plus the previous payment The five diamond coins total 5,000 gold coins. If our chamber of commerce needs anything in the future, we will have to rely on the two great strengths."
Dumb said: "President Muraz, how can we ask you for so much money? Since we agreed on a thousand gold coins in advance, let's pay the original amount."
Mulatz shook his head and said, "Don't refuse, the two captains. The extra part will be considered as a bonus from the Chamber of Commerce." He didn't wait for dumb to speak, and immediately picked up another bag and handed it to Blood Skull, "Blood Commander, here is 300 diamond coins. The reward we agreed in advance is 20,000 gold coins. We have already paid 100 diamond coins to your group as a deposit. Adding these, the total is 40,000 diamond coins. You don’t want blood Resignation, the loss of your group this time is far beyond our expectations, the extra money, let us consider it a little respect for those sacrificed warriors, you must accept it."
Bloody Skull sighed, took the money bag, and thought, no matter how much money is of any use, it will not bring back the lives of my brothers! "President Mu, thank you very much. Now that the task has been completed, I won't stay here any longer. There are still many things to be arranged in the regiment. Dumb brothers, can you go?"
Duan and Xuan Yue hurriedly bid farewell to Muraz, and Muraz personally sent the five of them out of the chamber of commerce. When he left, he sighed endlessly, as if he was very reluctant to part with the five of them.
After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Blood Skull ordered his subordinates to gather together, and said to Iron Skull, "Third brother, you take out fifty diamond coins and distribute them to these brothers. Today is a day off, so that they can relax as much as possible. Gather at the west city gate, and let's return to the headquarters immediately." When they heard that the blood skeletons were going to give them a holiday, the members of the skeleton mercenary group immediately cheered. They have been living in fear for a month, and they can finally relax. How can you be unhappy
Duan looked at the mercenaries who were gradually dispersing, and said to the blood skeleton: "President Muraz is really kind, he is a person with deep feelings! This time he gave us so much more money, no wonder you will always be with us He cooperates."
Bloody Skull snorted and said: "Brother, you are still too young. That old guy Muraz is a standard old fox. The reason why he treats us well is because he is useful to us, for better It’s because we’re working hard for him to act like this. If you can’t bring him benefits, he will never talk to you. Don’t forget, he is a businessman. If my guess is right, this time the Standing Chamber of Commerce Alliance transported The batch of goods is probably worth more than tens of millions of gold coins. It is nothing for us to take this money. To me, money is just something to bring my brothers a better life, but this operation cost us 500 lives. , 40,000 gold coins, hum."
Looking at the bloody skull's desolate gaze, Ah-Dai said sadly: "It seems that being a mercenary is not easy! You are making money with your own life."
Ice Skull walked up to Blood Skull and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't be sad, everything has already happened."
Bloody Skull murmured: "Yeah! Things have already happened, there's no use being sad. Well, the third child is back, let's go, find a place to have a few drinks."
The mercenaries were dismissed, and the five of them wandered slowly on the street, walking towards Andis City. As Xuan Yue said, the people in Andis City were in a hurry and looked very busy. look, and no one noticed them.
"Just over there." Blood Skull pointed to a tavern not far ahead.
Five people walked into the tavern. It was still morning, and there were not many people in the tavern. The blood skeleton looked at the simple decoration around, and said to Duan and Xuanyue: "It's not that the elder brother is stingy, our skeleton mercenary group may not accept the task for the time being Now, without a source of income, we need to save some money. Waiter, bring us five glasses of tequila, and some side dishes."
Due to the small number of guests, the food and drink came out quickly. Blood Skull picked up his wine glass and said, "We are going our separate ways. Come on, two brothers. Let me toast you as a farewell farewell for you." A few times of drinking, but only a taste, Xuan Yue is from the Holy See, and has never even touched such a thing as wine. Seeing the light blue wine in front of them and smelling the tangy fragrance, both of them raised their glasses. Bloody Skull drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, blushing a little on his face, and shouted: "Happy."
Dui also wanted to drink up the wine like a blood skull, but just as the fragrant wine was in his mouth, an unusually strong spicy smell suddenly choked him down, and he coughed violently. Xuan Yue was even worse than Ah-Dai. Although she drank less, her pretty face flushed from choking, she bent over and coughed loudly, even tears came out. Seeing their appearance, Blood Skull was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Iron Skull and Ice Skull, who had always been icy, couldn't help but laugh too.
Blood Skull said with a smile: "Although we are not as good as you in kung fu, you are far behind in drinking."
Xuanyue finally calmed down her breath, panting: "Ah! Blood... skeleton... big brother..., you... want to kill... kill us... ah!... what is this... what... what! It's hard... Drink to death..." Duan said with lingering fear: "Why does this wine taste so strong, I just drank a small amount, and my chest felt like it was on fire. Brother, are you okay?"
Iron Skull said: "Tequila is a famous spirit. My elder brother is a master of wine forest, and he cultivates Fire Nightmare True Qi. Of course it's no problem to drink a glass in one sip. Haven't you guys drank alcohol before?"
Xuan Yue pushed the wine glass in front of the blood skull, and said: "I, I don't want to drink this thing anymore, it's so bad, it turns out that wine tastes like this!"
Iron Skull took off his helmet, his hair and eyebrows had grown a little these days, he took a sip of his wine, and exclaimed: "That's something you won't enjoy, the taste of this tequila is really pure , Not bad, big brother, if you don’t want to drink, you can give me his cup.”
Bloody Skull glared at him and said, "What? Do you want to compete with your elder brother and me? Forget the lesson from last time, right?"
The Iron Skull is obviously inferior to the Blood Skull in terms of alcohol capacity, and he said in a sly way: "The devil is willing to fight with you. Last time I almost drank to death, fourth sister, you should take off the helmet too. Dumb brothers and the others are not outsiders. Why are you drinking with a helmet on!"
Two clear eyes shot out from under the ice skull's helmet, and glanced at Duan and Xuanyue, then slowly raised his hands to take off his helmet, revealing his stunning beauty.
Seeing the appearance of the ice skull, Duan and Xuan Yue were stunned. It was an unusually fair face, and the green eyes revealed a deep light. Although she didn't have any expression on her face, her delicate facial features coupled with her cold and unique temperament made her as moving as a fairy in ice. Xuan Yue murmured: "Sister, you are so beautiful! Why do you usually wear a helmet?"
The Ice Skull said lightly: "I don't want the regiment members under me to see my appearance, I don't want them to listen to my command because of my appearance, or have any unreasonable thoughts, I am the deputy of the skeleton mercenary regiment based on my strength. Captain." After a pause, Ice Skull's clear eyes fell on Dumb's dull face, and then said: "Dumb, I have always wanted to ask you something. Back then, when we first met, you used What method defeated me. I have been thinking about it for more than a month, but I still haven’t figured it out.”
Dumb stared blankly at the delicate dimple of the Ice Skull, her temperament was even colder than Bing, and the cold light in his eyes made him recall Bing's appearance, and he was speechless in a daze.
Xuan Yue thought that Ah-Dai was fascinated by the appearance of the ice skull, so she pinched his leg hard. The severe pain immediately awakened Ah-Dai from his stupor, screamed in pain, and looked at Xuan Yue, "Brother, why are you pinching me?" Xuan Yue glared at him angrily, and said, "Sister Ice Skull is asking you By the way, why are you staring at others? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"
Dumb scratched his head, and said sadly: "Sister Ice Skull looks very much like a friend of mine before, I didn't mean it. What did you ask just now?"
Xuan Yue's heart tightened, and she clearly realized that the friend Dumb was talking about must be the girl named Bing represented by the statue in his arms.
Ice Skull was slightly taken aback when he saw Dumb's appearance, and said: "I was asking you just now, what method did you use to defeat me back then. You were clearly opposite me, why did you suddenly run behind me? In my impression, no one can defeat me with just one move, not even my master."
Duan raised his head, looked at the familiar icy temperament of the Ice Skull, and murmured: "Actually, I used the ability of the equipment to take advantage of the skill that day to succeed in one fell swoop. I really am not sure that I can beat you within three moves."
Blood Skull and Iron Skull were aroused by Dumb's words, "Utensils? What utensils?"
Dumb said: "I have an item on my body that can be differentiated into a clone. The clone can have half of my ability. This device also has the ability to teleport three times a day. I use these two functions of it to use the clone from the front. Attracting the attention of Sister Ice Skull, I managed to teleport behind her by myself, because the speed is so fast that no one can see it."
The three skeletons were stunned. Although Duan explained the method to subdue the ice skull, they still couldn't understand it. They all wanted to know what could have such an effect.
The cold face of the ice skull changed, and he said in surprise: "Is there such a thing on the mainland? I haven't heard of it before."
Duan revealed the Corris' Wish on his right wrist, gently stroked the artifact of energy flow, and said indifferently: "This wrist is called Corris' Wish, and it was left to me by my teacher before he died."
The three skulls were shocked, and they lost their voices at the same time: "What? The Tiangang Sword Master is dead?"
Duan was stunned, remembering the advice of the Sword Master of Tiangang to himself, shook his head and said: "No, it's my other teacher, he is the greatest alchemist on the mainland, he used his own life to refine this wristband, I It was named after his old man." Corris' wish is as important to Dumb as the living Corris.
Ice Skull murmured: "So that's the case. Dumb, let me ask you, if you try your best to compete with me, how many moves can you beat me."
Duan hesitated for a moment, looked at the Ice Skull who was expecting his reply, and said, "If you don't use any equipment, it's about ten moves." The equipment he mentioned, of course, refers to the Pluto Sword with the strongest attack power, and Not Corris' wish. In fact, he still said conservatively. With his current skill, if he did it with all his strength, five moves would be enough.
There was a sad smile on Ice Skull's face, "Ten moves, only ten moves! I have practiced hard for more than ten years, but I can only support ten moves."
The Blood Skull patted the Ice Skull on the shoulder, and sighed: "Forget it, little girl, Brother Dumb is incomparable to us. By the way, Brother Dumb, I have always wanted to ask you, who is stronger between you and Brother Xuanri? Above all, you should be on the same level, is martial skill stronger or magic stronger?"
Duan was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xuan Yue beside him, who also looked at him. The two shook their heads at the same time, and Dumb said: "We have never really fought against each other, and I don't know who is stronger. Only when we are alive and dead can we show our true strength. We are best friends, so how can we be true to each other?" How about fighting like that? I think Brother Xuan Ri should be stronger. He is one of the most powerful magicians I have ever seen." Xuan Yue heard the praise of her sweetheart, and a faint smile appeared on her face "Actually, this question is very difficult to answer. Magic and martial arts are two different things. However, Brother Dumb's attack power is very strong. If I want to fight him, I must find an opportunity to cast the spell first. Otherwise, I'm afraid the spell has not yet been uttered." It was defeated. In terms of overall strength, Big Brother Dumb is stronger, after all, he still has..." Xuanyue realized that she had said too much, and hurriedly stopped. What she wanted to say was that there was still Shengxie to help Dumb .
The three blood skulls are not stupid, and they couldn't help taking a breath, they all clearly understood the meaning of Xuanyue's words, Dumb and the secret weapon were not used! Just when they were amazed at the strength of Ah-Dai, the door of the tavern opened, and three men in mercenary costumes walked in. At first glance, they were all warriors who were good at martial arts. The five people glanced at the table, walked to a table beside them and sat down.
Iron Skull murmured: "At this time, there are still people drinking like us. It's really rare! Dumb brothers, since you are not used to drinking strong alcohol, let me bring you some juice."
Xuan Yue hurriedly agreed: "Okay! Brother Dumb and I will each have a glass of lime juice. It looks similar to tequila in appearance, and I thought they taste similar just now, who knows... Now I My head is a little dizzy, did I drink alcohol?"
Bloody Skull smiled slightly, poured the tequila that Xuan Yue pushed over just now into his cup, took a sip, and said, "How can fruit juice compare to the taste of wine? Brother, you really don't know how to enjoy it! Men still practice It's good to practice alcohol."
Xuan Yue smiled wryly with lingering fears in her heart: "It's better not to enjoy this kind of enjoyment, it's better to drink sweet fruit juice, I don't need much alcohol."
Ice Skull glanced at Xuan Yue, with a strange look in his eyes.
The three mercenaries who came in after that ordered a few glasses of beer, and chatted while drinking. Their voices were so loud that Duan and the others could hear them clearly without paying attention.
"Boss, don't accept tasks from the Magician's Union in the future. It's thankless. We can't afford to offend both parties. Why bother for a few dollars?"
The mercenary known as the boss said: "Hey, I also know that the magician's union is not easy to make money, but now the world is in a downturn, and those businessmen are too smart. Earn! If you don’t do some tasks from the Magician’s Guild, what will we brothers eat? I’m afraid we can’t even afford alcohol.”
"But, Boss, the two magicians' unions have publicly stated that no one is allowed to sell ordinary magic stones to each other. It's too difficult for us to be caught in the middle. If the magicians' union of the Tianjin Empire knows that we are secretly helping mainland magicians The Master Guild will transport the Philosopher’s Stone, I’m afraid they won’t let us go. It’s not something we can deal with if a magician with a higher level comes here.”
The mercenary who hadn’t said anything all this time said: “Well, that makes sense, boss, I think we should stop delivering the magic stone for the mainland magician’s union for the time being. Recently, the conflict between the two magician’s unions has become more and more intense. In order to snatch a high-ranking magician, the sky was full of light and rain, which was very gorgeous, but it destroyed many houses. If the patriarch of the Yajin tribe stopped their conflicts in time, I am afraid that most of Andis City would be destroyed. destroyed in their hands."
Old Daoist: "Okay, anyway, we have some savings recently, so let's rest for a few days and wait for the limelight to pass."
After hearing what they said, Xuanyue stuck out her tongue, and said to Dumb: "Brother, you are right! These two magician unions seem to have reached a point where they cannot be tolerated."
Bloody Skull said in a daze: "Where are the two magician's guilds?" Xuan Yue explained to him in a low voice, and then the three skulls came over.
Bloody Skull said: "Brother Xuanri, aren't you a priest of the Holy See? What does the Magician's Union have to do with you? Just now I saw that you seemed a little nervous."
Xuan Yue smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I'm nervous, it's Brother Dumb who is nervous. Although I am a priest, Brother Dumb is an intermediate magician of the Mainland Magicians Union. Both sides are magician organizations. Of course he is embarrassed .Isn’t it, big brother.” As she spoke, she poked Dumb.
Duan smiled wryly and said: "Yes! Logically speaking, I should help the mainland magicians union, but now the number of magicians is so rare, if the two sides clash, casualties will inevitably be caused, which may be detrimental to the development of the profession of magicians. This is The last thing I want to see."
Ice Skull said in surprise, "Are you a magician too? Your martial arts skills are so high, why should you be distracted to learn magic?"
Xuan Yue grinned, and answered this question for Ah-Dai, "My eldest brother is not only a magician, but also a half-alchemist. He learned magic and alchemy first, and then learned martial arts. Of course, now he is a strong martial artist. Some, but when he first entered the mainland, he received a monthly salary from the Magicians Union, so it can be considered that he has benefited from others, so it’s not good to stay out of it at this time.”
Bloody Skull took a sip of tequila and said with a smile: "Brother Dumb surprised us a lot! Since you have a relationship with the Magician Union, do you care about the conflict between the two sides?"
Dumb shook his head, and said, "Even if I want to control it, I'm powerless! What's more, I don't want to hurt anyone."
Xuan Yue changed the subject and said, "Brother Blood Skull, I also have a question to ask you. Since you are the descendants of the Northern Sword Master, why don't you use swords?"
Bloody Skull smiled and said, "Didn't Dumb use a sword too?"
Duan scratched his head, and said: "I'm too stupid, I can't remember the complicated sword moves, and the master said that after the skill reaches a certain level, the moves are not important, only the profound skill is the key to the victory. That's why he didn't teach me swordsmanship."
Bloody Skull nodded and said: "Well, your master is right. The four of us brothers and sisters have not learned the master's swordsmanship because of insufficient skill. My fire nightmare fighting spirit is passed down by the master. He said wait for me Only when I break through to a certain level will I be taught swordsmanship. The master is very knowledgeable, and his kung fu is enough for us to practice for a lifetime. After leaving here, I decided to go back to the mountain to receive the master's teachings and see if my skills can be improved. Break through, otherwise, if this continues, the skeleton mercenary group may disappear."
Ice Skull said: "Brother, I will go back to the mountain with you, dumb, although we are already friends, but I will always remember the fact that you defeated me with one move. When I am confident that I can beat you, I will definitely do it again." I'll go to you to compete. I don't believe that my Jibing true qi can't compare to your Shengsheng true qi."
Duan said helplessly: "Sister Ice Skull, why are you so persistent? Is winning or losing really that important?"
Ice Skull bowed his head and said nothing, Blood Skull patted his sister on the shoulder, and said: "Bing Bing, you are too old, you can't spend time on martial arts, if you don't find someone else, I'm afraid you won't be able to get married."
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "Sister Ice Skull is still very young! There is no need to be so anxious."
Bloody Skull said: "She is already twenty-three, and ordinary girls at her age already have children."
The Ice Skull suddenly raised his head, gave Dumb a strange look, and said lightly: "Brother, when I entered the master's school, I swore that I would not marry unless I was a sword master."
Duan was stunned for a moment, and said: "But, the current sword masters are all old, so I'm afraid it's not suitable."
The Blood Skull looked at the Ice Skull, then at the Iron Skull with a livid face, and sighed: "The strength of the sword master is not easy! Among the younger generation, I am afraid that only Brother Dumb can achieve it in a short time." He is not good at talking about the face of the skeleton, but he can only hint invisibly that he is very fond of Dumb. If Dumb can become his brother-in-law, it will be very easy for the skeleton mercenary group to surpass the red hurricane mercenary group. What's more, from what I have learned these days, Blood Skull is also very relieved of Duan's character, and it may be the best choice for his precious sister to marry him.
Duan was dumb, and didn't hear the meaning of the bleeding skull's words, but Xuanyue understood it, and became vigilant, saying: "Brother Bloody Skull, it's getting late, I still want to go to the magician with Duan Union, let's see what's going on over there now, let's see you later."
Bloody Skull was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother, why rush away! The Magician's Guild can't fly again."
Duan didn't understand why Xuan Yue was so anxious, "Brother, are we really going to the Magician's Guild?"
Xuanyue said: "Of course I'm going, you forgot what I told you before. You can't escape when you encounter something, you have to face it in order to improve your ability. Brother Blood Skull, I'm sorry, this time to protect the Stan Emperor Alliance The mission has delayed us for a long time, we have to go, I think, we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Seeing that Xuanyue was determined to go, the blood skull stood up and said: "Well, be careful all the way, and we will learn skills when we have opportunities in the future."
Iron Skull is eager for Duan to leave as soon as possible. Although he is not a smart person, he also understands that Blood Skull intends to match Duan and Ice Skull. It is of course a good thing to drive away his rival in love. He stood up, drank the tequila in his wine glass, and said, "Two brothers, let's not change the green mountains and keep the green water flowing. There will be a period later. Take care."
Having reached this point, Dumb couldn't stay, so he had to stand up, and after a few polite words, he and Xuan Yue left the tavern. Seeing their leaving backs, Blood Skull said to Ice Skull: "Sister, you gave up a good opportunity! Why didn't you keep him just now? Although Dumb's appearance is not very good, he is definitely A person who is suitable for you to trust for life, it is not an exaggeration to win the title of Juggernaut based on his skill. If you can marry him, big brother will feel at ease."
