Chapter 130 Those Funny Guys

During the journey, Hao Ren learned that the name of this young girl who seemed to be traveling alone was Betsy. In her own words, she was a free mercenary.

Free mercenaries, a kind of armed profession that travels all over the world, seem to be a very common group of people in this world. They have their own organization, but the structure is loose and can hardly be called an "armed group". They operate among civilians and rely on their own abilities. Taking on all jobs - Although Betsy didn't say much to a stranger, Hao Ren guessed that this group of people would be involved in everything from killing people to selling goods to finding cats for old ladies, depending on what the employer paid them to do.

This sounds like an incredible profession. Hao Ren thought about it for a long time using his earthly logic, but he still couldn't figure out how this group of people could appear in reality openly, let alone why the authorities of various countries would allow such people to have such things. The group exists, but with Betsy appearing in front of him so vividly, he can only admit that this is a fact: Maybe there is some special social structure in this world that makes the existence of free mercenaries possible. Very powerful guys are really active all over the world.

"Don't look at me because I'm young. I'm still a second-level mercenary. I've been out to make a living since I was fourteen years old." Betsy is a carefree girl. She is probably very confident in her own strength. In addition, this profession has given her a lot of money. She had a talkative attitude. After confirming that Hao Ren was not a threat, she started to talk more, "I am familiar with 80% of the places in Horleta. I have also been to the Empire, alone. Do you believe it or not, you can cross this prairie? Ha, I came to the prairie this time just for a small mission, but I didn’t expect to pick up a very interesting guy... By the way, your name is Hao Ren? I still feel weird about this name. It doesn’t sound like a name from Horleta.”

During the two hours that Hao Ren walked with Betsy, he broke into a cold sweat almost every fifteen minutes. Only then did he realize that he was really an honest person and was quite bad at lying to others within two meters of him (over the phone or other means). It’s much easier to lie when they don’t meet each other), every time he talked to Betsy, he was always on tenterhooks, for fear that he would expose himself as a suspicious person and let the girl stab him with a sword - it wouldn’t be fatal if stabbed, but it was not easy to meet him after all. The free tour guides on the website are gone, and it will definitely not be so easy to find a local to fool him and get information next time. So now he is trying his best to only listen and not speak, pretending to be a research talent who indulges in academic work at home all day long, so that even if he makes mistakes in his words, he can still get away with it through poor communication. The less said, the less wrong. This is the truth.

"My name must belong to a minority..." Hao Ren chuckled dryly, while trying to remember the bits and pieces of information leaked in Betsy's conversation in his mind. Now he already knew that the town of Rumbel he was going to was located in the southern part of the grassland. A border town, and Rembell Town belongs to the Kingdom of Horleta, which is also Betsy’s hometown. He also learned that there is another emerging empire on the north side of the prairie called the Horner Empire, and Betsy is very interested in that empire. Little is known about Bian. Because the two countries are too far apart, neither can hit the other, so they are currently ogling each other from a distance, trying hard to show themselves to the world as a peace-loving country of gentlemen - but at the same time, they have beaten down all the small countries around them. Therefore, this The credibility of remote winking is not very high.

The above was all the information that Betsy had leaked while chatting all the way. Hao Ren was curious as to why this girl was so talkative. It seemed like there was nothing in the world that she didn't know about. However, after thinking about it, there was someone in his family who was more knowledgeable than Betsy. As for the familiar Lily, when Lily and he took the bus to their new home, they talked about local vegetable prices and the American Civil War. That husky was obviously the superior bullshit expert...

"By the way, where are you from?" Betsy tilted her head slightly and asked, "I have seen a lot of magicians. Even the most inconspicuous ones have to wear a hot robe all day long to show off their demeanor. You are wearing these clothes. I look more like a commoner traveling, do your magicians over there dress like this?"

Hao Renxin said that he really went on a trip - he was crazy and agreed to an even more crazy female boss to leave home and travel to a primitive planet more than 800 light years away, blowing the sea breeze for half a night and then falling to the dream plane. , and fell from a height of ten stories, as if he was traveling with his life. But when he actually said it, he just smiled and said: "This is my personal hobby. Even if I tell you where I come from, you don't know - actually, I am from the Empire."

Betsy said it herself just now. She didn't know much about the country across the prairie, so it was the smartest way to link herself to the empire. Moreover, the words "imperial people" are not nonsense in the strict sense. The Xiling Empire is also an empire...

"Wow, teleporting from the empire to the prairie?" Betsy almost fell off the horse, "How many crystals did you smash on the teleportation array? I don't think you are a noble... You spent all your money just to come to the prairie. Experience landing with your face?”

Hao Ren: "...I don't know. I fell blind and am very confused now. Please don't ask too many questions, okay..."

"Look, you still don't believe me when I tell you that your brain is broken," Betsy shook her head, "Anyway, I will be responsible for sending you to the border, and then you can figure out how to get back. Gee, I'm really worried about you. How to go back? This place is across the entire prairie from the Horner Empire, and all you have is a flying music box that can be sold for money—and it’s still mine now.”

Hao Ren couldn't help but feel a little apologetic: that music box was destined to fool this girl, but seeing the expectant expression on her face, he felt sorry in advance.

When Hao Ren was guessing how long it would be before he could see the border towns, Betsy suddenly pulled the reins and stopped his mount, then pulled Hao Ren to stand up and dismount: "Wait a minute, there will be something going on."

Before Hao Ren understood what was going on, he was pulled off the horse by this powerful girl, and he lay on the lee side of a hill with his neck pressed. He moved his head vigorously: "What's wrong?"

"The wolves... are fighting for territory," Betsy lowered her voice, and used some kind of gesture to make her horse step aside sensibly, "Let's see, maybe we can take advantage... Ah, are you a burden? ?”

Hao Ren stretched his head and stretched his neck to take a look. Sure enough, he saw two groups of black giant wolves fighting in the far valley. They were the kind of powerful beasts unique to the Dream Plane.

If this situation were placed in front of ordinary people, I am afraid that anyone would try to hide far away. But when the girl Betsy next to him saw two wolves fighting, she stopped happily and prepared to "get involved" "Cheaper"? !

Hao Ren didn't know how powerful humans in this world could be, but he had an acquaintance with a certain funny wolf king on the grassland, and he had a general understanding of the comparison of the fighting power of humans and wolves. He knew that ordinary people would suffer in the face of these giant wolves. It's basically just food, so if there's nothing wrong with this Betsy girl's head, it only means one thing: this is a weird world with a huge disparity in power between ordinary people and combat professionals.

This setting is getting weirder and weirder.

"One...two...three...many...many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many." Betsy counted the number of enemies. "Well, wait until they are almost beaten before attacking suddenly. We should be able to handle the fight between the wolves." They will fight to the death for the territory before they give up. Hehe, they have made a fortune this time, and the bone plates on their bodies are precious. Hey, you really won't become a burden, right?"

Hao Ren really wanted to fall into a grass nest. The girl next to him always seemed to be a little paranoid in subtle ways. She was the type who talked to herself and didn't care about other people's explanations. She still insisted that Hao Ren fell down. There's something wrong with my brain. But Hao Ren didn't have time to argue with her too much, because his eyes were suddenly attracted by the two groups of fighting black wolves.

The melee between these two groups of black wolves has not yet reached its peak, but the cannon fodder on both sides is fighting. A large number of wolves are still wandering around the outer edge of the depression and have not joined the battlefield. Among those wandering wolves, there is a black wolf with a bone plate on its waist. Broken, several black wolves grinned and showed bad teeth, and there was also an extraordinarily large alpha wolf that looked extremely familiar.

This is meeting an acquaintance...oh no, an acquaintance! Aren't they just those funny guys?
