Chapter 194 Continue to the West
Hao Ren and Vivian asked Becky and several mercenaries on the scene in various obscure ways to find out if there was a deep-sea race similar to the Kraken in this world, even if it was only a legend. Finally, they got a question that made people dare not Conclusion to believe: There is no Kraken.
Raven 12345 had made it clear that day that the aliens on Earth came from the Dream Plane, so Hao Ren took it for granted that the people in his family could openly announce their race in the Dream Plane, but he never expected that Nangong Wuyue would become exception.
Vivian was understanding the situation of the mountain road in detail with the mercenaries, while Hao Ren took Nangong Wuyue to the side and muttered: "It seems that there are no sea monsters here, so where did the sea monsters on the earth come from?" of?"
"How do I know?" Nangong Wuyue looked a little unhappy, "I thought I finally found my hometown."
Hao Ren noticed that Siren Girl seemed to be in a bad mood, and he understood her thoughts: Here, Vivian and Lily could enjoy the free atmosphere of being open to the public without having to worry about being watched. Originally, Nangong Wuyue was the same as them. She was happy, thinking that she had also ushered in the paradise belonging to the Siren, but the current situation made her feel isolated, and disappointment was inevitable.
"Don't take it too seriously," Hao Ren said stupidly. He didn't know how to comfort him at this time, so he could only try to divert Nangong Wuyue's attention, "Look at Yzaks, doesn't he have to hide his identity here? , Demons in this world also die first and ask questions later..."
Yzaks was standing not far away. Hearing this, he turned around and spread his hands to Hao Ren dumbfounded. Nangong Wuyue sighed: "Landlord, you are really not suitable for comforting people. Vivian never said that before. you?"
Hao Ren: "Uh..."
"I'm fine," Nangong Wuyue showed a smile that didn't mind, "I'm just a little unhappy. I thought I could see many of my kindred spirits in this world, but now it seems... I still have a chance to find my kindred spirits on the earth. Bar."
Several seriously injured mercenaries have now recovered from their injuries. After resting nearby for a while, they have basically recovered their strength. However, they are still a little swaying when walking, and their blood-stained appearance is quite scary. Several embarrassed mercenary warriors supported each other and came to Hao Ren. The leader was the middle-aged leader: "We are ready to go back, but we are really sorry to leave like this. Is there anything we can do to help? What happened just now? Miss Vivian said you are the captain and asked me to ask you."
"No, there's really no need," Hao Ren waved his hands. He didn't even think about asking for any reward. Mainly because he couldn't think of anything he could ask these people to do for him - the only thing he wanted to do now was to go to Bein. Cixue Lake, but there is already Betsy as a guide, and the fewer other irrelevant people, the better. "If you must say...have you ever seen a tall and thin woman in white clothes?"
When Hao Ren mentioned the situation of the mysterious "visitor from another world" he was pursuing, the mercenary leader frowned: "It's quite impressive to say this. I met a group of people returning from Beinz Blood Lake before. Mercenaries, they mentioned that they met a strange woman on the mountain road. That woman was young but went to the Blood Lake alone, so she left a deep impression on people. Oh, that was two days ago."
"Then she should have arrived in Layton Town by now," Betsy said beside her.
"Is that an acquaintance of yours?" the mercenary leader asked curiously, and then thought, "She should be stopped outside the post. The Beinz area is now very strictly controlled. There are only registered mercenary teams and various knights. Only groups can enter and exit, single adventurers cannot enter."
Hao Ren nodded perfunctorily, but he felt that the woman would definitely find a way to overcome this difficulty: even though he had no understanding of the visitor from another world, he had this intuition.
It is difficult to stop a person who wants to go home.
The group of mercenaries saved by Hao Ren no longer planned to continue to the Blood Lake. Although they had recovered from their injuries, they were already quite tired, their equipment was seriously damaged, and their morale was almost zero, so they planned to return to the kingdom. The mercenary leader also advised Hao Ren and the others not to continue on this dangerous mountain road and to at least take a safer route if they had to go to the Blood Lake, but Hao Ren politely declined.
The mysterious woman made people more and more concerned, and the Beinz Blood Lake also gave people a very uneasy feeling. Hao Ren was worried that the detour would delay time and miss some important events. Compared with this, although the rock giants on the mountain path are dangerous, they are not impossible to deal with. Based on today's battle situation, Hao Ren feels that they are not too big a threat to his group.
Seeing Hao Ren's resolute attitude, the mercenary captain could not force him, so he organized his troops and prepared to go home. Before leaving, he forced a metal pendant from his waist into Hao Ren's hand: " Anyway, we owe you fourteen lives. We are the 'Iron Thorn' mercenary group operating near the royal city of Stuyn. I am the leader of the group, Konstein. You can take this as a token. In the future, you or your If your friends encounter trouble in the royal city, just come to us."
Although mercenaries are often regarded as a group of people who only pursue profits, there are also many of them who value love and justice and repay their kindness. It would be disrespectful to shirk it at this time, so Hao Ren could only accept it. A pendant, and then he heard the other party ask: "Do you know the names of the other benefactors? Are you also a mercenary group? I don't know what their names are. It will be easier to deal with in business in the future."
Before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily rushed up to him in a hurry: "It's so good that a dog calls the mercenary group! I am the deputy leader Lily! This is the leader Hao... Wuwu..."
Hao Ren used all his strength to hold Lily down, but he still couldn't stop the girl from shouting out that thunderous name like a peacock. Constein's face was extremely wonderful. After holding it in for a long time, he could only nod with a dry smile: "Ah. Ha, the name is very loud..."
Hao Ren sweated on his forehead: How could this name not be loud? Fortunately, this world doesn't have to wear an ID on your head when going out like in the game. Otherwise, if you go out with such a team name, you will be beaten to death by your peers as soon as you hit the street!
Constein led his men on the way down the mountain, while Hao Ren and the others were preparing to move forward. Betsy glanced at the mountain road ahead with some worry: "Are you sure you won't take a detour?"
"The detour will waste time," Hao Ren nodded, "It's okay. Our combat effectiveness is guaranteed anyway. As you can see, we have all the cavalry, magic, herdsmen, and thieves, so there won't be any problems."
"That's what I was going to say," Betsy couldn't suppress her doubts. Her eyes swept around the people around her, "You are still saying that you are a mage at this time?"
Lily hadn't retracted the two claw blades at this time. She dug her claws on the ground twice and muttered: "Do you believe me if I say this is used for digging holes?"
Even if Betsy's intelligence is higher than the table, there is no way she would believe this nonsense. Just look at Hao Ren's team: Hao Ren himself is a taunting T who wears a shield and calls people grandson all over the battlefield, while Lily is a person who climbs on the enemy and chops hard. An assassin who stabs people in the back of the neck, Yzaks is a violent warrior with full melee skills, Nangong Wuyue is a wet nurse who can't even use water ball skills, and Vivian is the only one who knows how to use lightning arrows and ice ring skills. , but in the end, they still managed to defeat their opponents with all their strength. This group of people even said with a shy face that they had been studying portal technology for several years - to be honest, Hao Ren himself couldn't believe it.
Lily also found that the two claws in her hands were not convincing, so she put away her weapon angrily, ran behind Hao Ren with her ears drooped, and said, "Landlord, please make up a lie quickly."
Betsy: "..."
"Our situation is really special, and it is impossible to classify it according to general occupational classifications," Hao Ren sighed, "If you believe me, then I will tell you: we are not bad people, and there are many situations that we do not want to tell you. It’s just that I don’t know what to say to make you understand... You can also treat this as the last time we cooperate, and we can have nothing to do with each other after we come back."
Betsy does have some doubts, because many years of social experience have taught her that there are many secrets that can lead to death, so even if she takes on some dangerous tasks for money, she will stay as far away from those core secrets as possible. This group of guys with unknown origins in front of her It gave her the same feeling as those dangerous secrets, but Hao Ren's words made her feel a little more relieved.
"Whatever, at least I have to be worthy of the music box you gave me," Betsy smiled, turned and walked forward, "I won't ask more about your affairs. No one in this world has a secret."
Hao Ren felt even more sorry when he heard this: The MP5 plus solar charger only cost 600 yuan in total...
