Chapter 59

-The camp of snow wolf mercenary regiment is of high standard. We can see that this is a group of people who are used to camping in the wild.

This low-lying terrain effectively plays a role of windbreak, and the two high slopes beside it are very defensive. In case of an accident, as long as we can effectively guard the gap in the middle, we can ensure the safety of the camp.

Duvi and Dardanelle came into the camp with commander bainrich, so he was welcomed by the surprised eyes of many mercenaries.

The camp is no less than 100 people under duvet's visual inspection. It's different from the private armies of the nobility or the local garrison of the empire that Dewey had seen. These mercenaries have no uniform armor or equipment. Most of them are very personalized. Some wear fur coats, some wear fur gowns, and some wear fur armour.

However, in the role of shelter in the snow forest, most people choose white.

As for the weapons they used, it's even more strange. They used swords, machetes, axes and spears. Dewey even saw a guy with a mace like weapon.

Moreover, these people without exception, each face with a strong, rebellious atmosphere. When Dewey walked into the camp, some other guys who were rubbing their weapons looked coldly at Dewey and Dardanelle.

More people shout: "Hey! Commander, why did you bring a child in! Ha ha ha ha, is this guy the new guy you're recruiting? He looks like he's not weaned yet

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the laughter of the people around.

Bainrich's face sank and he said, "no nonsense! Do your own business! Be polite, this is our guest

It seems that the head of the regiment has great prestige. Although there are still some people who don't think so, everyone shut up.

"Well, Mr. magician, these are rude men who don't know how to be polite." Bainrich then wanted to invite duvet to live in his tent, but duvet politely declined, so the commander asked someone to make a space for them in the middle of the camp. Duvet and Dardanelle set up a small tent by themselves.

After a while, the commander sent two thick blankets to his men.

"These guys don't seem to be very friendly to us." Dewey looked at the mercenary who sent the tent and left with a cold face. He turned back and laughed at Dardanelle.

"It's normal." Dardanelle curled his mouth: "in this kind of team, new people are generally difficult to be accepted immediately. They are more willing to trust their old companions who have gone through life and death together... Even in the regular army. "

In the evening, the mercenaries built several big fires in the middle of the camp, and they sat around the fire waiting for dinner.

Bainrich himself invited Dewey to dinner, and they crowded together in front of a fire.

The mercenaries have a much better attitude towards Dewey. I think the commander has announced Dewey's status as a magician. But there are still some people looking at Dewey with suspicious eyes... After all, he looks too young.

Not only the mercenaries, but also bainrich had some doubts.

Sitting in front of the fire, after taking off the thick leather hat that covered one third of his face, duvet looked smaller... Bainrich could not help but wonder: is such a small child really a magician?

Or... Even if he is a magician, at such a young age... I'm afraid he's just a magic apprentice? Or is it just a first-class magician?

Although a magician is rare, if he is only a magic apprentice or a first-class magician... Then he has no value to attract.

The mercenaries in front of the nearby campfire were doing their own business as if no one else: they melted the snow into hot water with several large iron pots, and then two strong men carried out some strange looking, large and small animal corpses from the tent... Duwei looked carefully, but he didn't know whether it was a cow or a sheep. Dardanelle recognized it. He frowned and said in a low voice: "this is... God, a snow camel monster... Oh, this is a burrowing ox... Ah, and a snow devil wolf! God, are you going to eat this at night? "

Bainrich laughed and said, "no, it's us! We, and you, eat these at night. "

"The corpse of Warcraft." Danielle sighed.

"Yes, Warcraft." Bainrich curled his mouth and said with a smile: "in my opinion, these things are not very different from ordinary beasts... At least they taste not much worse in the mouth, but they will use some magic when they are alive, and after they die, they will become our food."

Dewey didn't say anything. He watched the two men pull out their sharp knives and shrewdly break down the corpses of Warcraft into pieces. Then they all threw them into the big iron pot to cook.

The skins of these Warcraft have been stripped off for a long time. Dewey watched the two big men go back and move more Warcraft out of the tent. He couldn't help whistling. He looked at bainrich and said, "Sir, it seems that you have gained a lot from your trip."

"It's not easy to make a living," said bainrich. This kind of life is also a struggle. But you're right. The harvest this time is OK. We've been hunting more than 20 Warcraft in this forest for five days, but I lost seven or eight men. Three dead and three permanently disabled. " The mercenary commander sighed: "these Warcraft skins can be sold at a good price in the south, and their magic cores... You magicians are willing to pay a high price for them."

Dewey couldn't help looking at the corpses of those Warcraft

Du Wei recognized the ice snow wolf that these mercenaries moved out. He had seen the ice snow wolf in the dreamland when he was teased by the monster in half angle city last time.

However, the corpse of the wolf moved by these mercenaries was obviously smaller than the one in the last fantasy.

The water in the pot gradually boils and the meat is fragrant. Many mercenaries can't help sniffing.

The commander asked people to take out several large leather bags of wine from his tent, and the mercenaries immediately cheered. Then several leather bags were passed on, and each mercenary drank a mouthful of wine. In this kind of ghost weather that can cool people's nose, it's really the best enjoyment to drink a mouthful of wine to warm the body.

Bainrich did not forget to entertain Dewey. He took out a silver bottle from his arms and said with a smile, "this is my personal collection, the best wine in the North... Mr. magician, would you like to try it?"

Dewey took the bottle with a smile and took a sip, but almost didn't choke to death!

"Cough! What kind of wine is this... "Duwei coughed hard, his voice was hoarse, and he just felt a fire burning in his mouth!

In a hurry, Dewey could only grab the snow from the ground and cram it into his mouth! After swallowing three handfuls of snow, I felt the burning feeling in my throat was relieved.

Bainrich laughed and said, "Mr. magician, this is a good thing! I made this wine with the core of the flame rhinoceros! When you drink it, it's like putting a fire in your throat! Absolutely enough! Especially in this kind of ghost weather, a small drink can make your whole body hot! You'll be warm all night! "

Dewey pinched his nose: "thank you! I can't stand this kind of thing. "

Bainrich laughed and took a sip of it. Then there was an expression of pain and happiness on his face. He shivered a few times. Then he gasped and yelled, "cool!"

He handed the bottle to Dardanelle again: "friend, have a drink!"

Dardanelle hesitated to taste it, but his tolerance was much stronger than that of Duwei. After taking a sip, his whole body trembled a few times, just like that of bainrich, but he showed a happy expression and exclaimed: "good thing! Sure enough, my body is much warmer! Damn, it's like there's a fire in my stomach! "

Next, Du weipin tasted some cooked meat of Warcraft. The meat of ice snow wolf was old and had a sour taste. Du was not used to it. But in this kind of place, ice and snow, can have a mouthful of hot meat, has been a very good enjoyment.

At least last night when he was with the old magician, Dewey was a bit of food.

Well, I don't know if the old guy is looking at me now... Young master, I'm sitting drinking and eating meat, while the old guy is drinking. It's very good.

Du Wei ate a little, and his spirit improved a lot. He tried to drink two mouthfuls of bainrich's special wine. This time, he was fully prepared, but it was not as bad as last time. Moreover, this wine was really a good thing. After drinking it, it seemed that a fire immediately burned all over the viscera. In an instant, his whole body was boiling hot, and his cold was completely dispelled!

"Mr. magician, you must have come here to look for some Warcraft?" Bainrich said with a smile: "the magicians who come here are all for these purposes. If so, maybe we can help each other. Maybe I have the Warcraft you need in my hand

Dardanelle and Dewey looked at each other. Dewey nodded. Dardanelle replied, "Mr. commander, have you ever heard of the golden eye Python?"

There was a trace of surprise on bainrich's face: "golden eye Python? That's a very powerful guy. When I was young, I saw a magician catch it here, but we, ourselves, have never caught that kind of thing... And... "

He hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "this is just the outside of the frozen forest. The advanced Warcraft like golden eye Python needs to go deeper into the forest. Powerful Warcraft are in the center of the forest activities, the periphery will not have this kind of thing. But the more you go in, the more dangerous it is. "

"The heartland?" Dewey laughed: "please excuse me. It's my first time to come to the frozen forest. You see, I'm a young magician. I'm not familiar with this place. You said central area... We've been walking in the woods for two days. Is this just the periphery? "

"Of course." Bainrich shook his head: "the frozen forest is too big... It can even be said that no one has ever measured the size of the forest in person. I heard that twenty years ago, there was a powerful magician with several Knights of the temple who had been walking deep into the forest for a month, but they couldn't get to the other end of the forest. Who knows where this forest is? Maybe it's the end of the world. What's more, the one that can be found in the current record is the one 20 years ago. That time, a great magician of the Magic Union went in with several high Holy Knights of the temple. Unfortunately, I heard that only the magician came out alive. It's said that there are many high-level Warcraft in the center of the frozen forest. Even a powerful magician can't deal with the siege of several high-level Warcraft at the same time. As for us mercenaries, our snow wolf mercenary regiment has always been only active in the peripheral areas. The farthest distance we have traveled is nine days... And that was a few years ago. "

Dewey was a little surprised

A magician and several high Holy Knights have gone for a month, but they haven't come to the end?

Is this forest that big?

Danielle's face is also a little ugly... In this case, where can I find the golden eye Python?

"I advise you both." Bainrich's expression was very serious: "we Snow Wolf mercenary regiment have been hunting Warcraft in this forest for many years. I also met some magicians who came in to look for Warcraft. But even some magicians don't dare to go too far... No one dares to go further near the great round lake at most. Two... I know you are a magician, and I respect the ability of magicians. But I still advise you to give up your plan if it is not necessary... "

Danielle's face was very ugly. He thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "thank you for your kindness, sir, but I have to find the golden eye python. Well... And... "He suddenly showed a strange expression on his face:" I know that the people in your group are specialized in hunting Warcraft. If I can, I'd like to offer you a high price to help me find... "

"Sorry, no way." Bainrich refused very simply: "although we make money by this, and I also know that the greater the risk, the greater the profit. However, if you know that you are going to die and work hard, then it is not a risk, but an idiot's behavior. Our snow wolf mercenary regiment has no ability to enter the heart of the frozen forest. No matter how much you offer, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do

Dardanelle sighed. Knowing that bainrich was telling the truth, he said no more and drank a draught of wine.

Bainrich's attention returned to Dewey. He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. magician, I'm very curious about you. In my impression, few people can get the qualification of magician at your age. I've lived 40 years, and I've had 20 years of adventure. I've met many magicians, but I've never seen a genius like you. "

Dewey gave a bitter smile

Genius? That's something you haven't seen.

Dewey's own strength is only about Level 3 magician. It's more of a genius than ordinary people... But... Compared with the other two female geniuses duvet met, duvet has nothing to be proud of.

At the age of 15 or 16, he got the qualification of level 8 magician! That's genius! And Dewey met two at one time.

Seeing that Dewey did not speak, bainrich was silent for a moment, and slowly felt a roll of paper out of his arms.

"Mr. magician, I want to make a deal with you. I wonder if you are interested?"

Dewey's eyes lit up: "what deal?"

"Well, I know that magicians are very rich, so if I give you any treasure or something, you won't pay attention to it... So..." bainrich said with a smile: "my people and I will continue to walk north for about four or five days. We will go to the great round lake, and then we will turn around and go back. I think, anyway, you and your companions are going all the way north, so in the next few days, you might as well follow us on the road. My people and I can act as your guides to take you all the way to Dayuan lake. If there is no guide, I'm afraid it's easy to get lost. What do you think? "

Bainrich unfolded the scroll in his hand: "this is a map of the frozen forest! Such a map, but absolutely no place to find in the market! Even if you spend 10000 gold coins, you can't buy it! Because this is what I, bainrich, drew from my memory through my nearly 20 years of adventure in this forest and more than 40 times of experience! I'm sure the whole empire won't be able to find a second map of this detail. "

Dewey's heart moved!

He took the map and unfolded it

On the drawing, there is a vast forest icon. At the south end, there are several entrances to the forest. On the drawing, there are several small towns in the south of the frozen forest, and some checkpoints set by the northern storm Corps patrol.

Dewey looked a little and found the way he had entered the forest with the old magician the night before yesterday.

On the drawing, I don't know how large the whole forest area is, but with a little point from bainrich, Dewey probably has a concept.

"Here, here is about where we are now." Bainrich's finger poked a little bit on the map.

Judging from the map, this location is very close to the entrance of the southern edge of the forest. Dewey can't help but feel a little discouraged when he looks at it... After two days of hard walking, he just walked out of such a little place on the map.

Bainrich laughed, and then pointed out a little bit in the forest on the map: "here is the destination of my trip and my people, great round lake."

A slightly flattened circle marks a lake on the map.

This lake is located in the forest. It is a lake in the forest. But the area is quite large.

"The lake is about five or six li wide... At least that wide. Although I have been there several times, I have not measured it in detail. As a matter of fact, I have never been to the other side of the lake. The great round lake can be regarded as the dividing line for the advance of some adventure teams in the frozen forest. "

"What do you say?" Dewey is curious about everything in this frozen forest.

"The dividing line of strength." Bainrich said with a smile: "basically, in the south of the lake, everything is not too dangerous. Mercenaries like us can still move. But... Few people dare to go to the north of the lake. According to what I know, those who dare to cross the lake and continue to go north are all those strong men with names and surnames in the whole continent... At least I'm not that kind of person. I've been to the lake several times with my people, but never dare to go around the lake and continue to the north. "

After a pause, he had a strange smile on his face: "by the way, if it was summer, I would not take people to Dayuan lake. You know, where there is water, there are always dangerous wild animals... The same is true of Warcraft. Warcraft also needs to drink water, and Warcraft also likes to take a bath. In summer, although the weather here is also very cold, it is not as freezing as it is now. Now just early spring, the lake has not thawed, the lake is ice, no Warcraft will go to the lake activities. But summer is different. That place in summer is the gathering place of Warcraft! Hell... I once heard that several mercenary regiments, hundreds of them, were attacked by Warcraft on the edge of the lake! The whole team died there! So, because of the current season, I dare to go there. If it's summer, I will be far away from there. "

Bainrich finished all this and looked at Dewey: "how about it? Mr. magician? My transaction is very simple: my people and I take you to the lake, and I send you this map... Although I have never been to the north of the lake, I have collected a lot of information over the years, which are the news spread by some strong people who have been to the north of the lake, but it has cost me a lot of capital to collect information! As shown on the map, even if you cross the great round lake and continue to go north, at least the map also shows the terrain for the next two or three days. "

Dewey looked at bainrich and said, "Dear commander, I'm very curious. Since you don't plan to go to the north of the lake, why do you want to collect the information from Hubei?"

There was a trace of emotion in bainrich's eyes. The expression on his face was sincere and serious: "Mr. magician, please remember, I am an adventurer!"

He even had a pious look when he said this.

"I'm an adventurer! Although... What I'm doing now is mercenary work, and I've made some profits by taking risks in the frozen forest... But I'm not a businessman full of stink! In my heart, there is the blood of an adventurer Bainrich said in a deep voice: "I've been adventuring in this place for half my life. Since I was young, listening to those legends, I've been longing for the frozen forest on the north side of the lake. What will it look like... Although I know that my strength is far from the top of the continent. Moreover, now I have a large group of people following me, I have to shoulder their responsibilities! But I also have my own dream! My dream is... In the future, when I am old and retire, I will no longer be the team leader. My people will be handed over to their new leaders. Then, when I am alone and have no responsibility, I will be ready to cross the lake and go to the north to have a look! I've been around this place all my life! In the future, if I don't see what the north looks like in my old age, then I will die in peace! I collect these data just for future planning! I plan to go on the road alone after I'm ready. I'm even ready to die in the north of the lake in the future! Even if I die, at least I can have a look at what the legendary north shore looks like before I die... If I die there, I have completed the fate of an adventurer! "

At this point, bainrich said something that made Dewey revere

"As an adventurer, it's a shame to die in bed! As a real adventurer, you should choose to die in the most exciting journey

Du Wei took a deep breath, and his tone became more respectful: "Dear commander, you promised to be our guide and send us this map... So what do you need me to do for you?"

"It's easy." Bainrich laughed: "I only have two conditions. First of all, in our journey together, if we encounter any trouble, such as being attacked by others or Warcraft, you, Mr. magician, please stand on our side. We need the help of magicians when appropriate. "

"No problem." Dewey immediately replied, "since we are on the road together, we are companions. It's a matter of course."

"Thank you. My second condition is... If you can go back after you have finished this adventure... Please excuse me for using such unlucky words. But for the last time, I advise you that the north is very dangerous! " Seeing that Dewey didn't accept his suggestion, the leader sighed: "well... If you can come back, I think you are the only powerful magician I have ever seen in my life... You are so young! I have no other words to describe but genius. I believe that in the future, you will become a well-known strong man in the mainland. If there is such a day, I hope you can remember the name of our snow wolf mercenary regiment... I venture to ask you to remember that the snow wolf mercenary regiment once helped you in the frozen forest. As for this kind of favor, it is enough to help us when it is appropriate and convenient for you. "

Very smart team leader!

Dewey showed more respect to the commander!

If the words of "the fate of the adventurer" just now make him look like an idealist... Then the terms of the transaction behind show that the team leader has a long-term vision!

Actually, they didn't pay any price for this matter... They originally planned to go to Dayuan lake. A team of more than 100 people would easily bring two more people. It didn't cost much. On the contrary, there is a fellow magician on the road.

In addition, as for the map... The map was made by the team leader himself. Although he gave it to Dewey, he could draw another one at any time. There was no loss for him.

But these, actually changed a sorcerer's human feelings!

In Roland, magicians are more precious than gold, especially those powerful magicians. The chief's calculation is very clever. Duwei has become a magician at such a young age, and his future is bright... As long as he can go back alive, it means that the snow wolf mercenary regiment has forged a friendship with a future magician at no cost!

You can expect to get the help of a great magician at some time in the future!

An idealist, but there is no lack of practical cunning.

This is Dewey's comment on chief bainrich.

•；

It was a quiet night.

The next morning, when Dewey got out of the tent, the snow wolf mercenary regiment was ready to start. Some brave men who are not afraid of the cold are scrubbing their bodies with snow, while others are shaving carefully with daggers. These guys, who are used to adventure life, all have the temperament of being brave and defending. At last, they summon their companions to go on the road with a full cry.

Danielle's mood was a little low.

After captain bainrich introduced the situation of the frozen forest last night, Dardanelle knew very well that the possibility of finding the golden eye Python by himself was very small. I'm afraid it's not enough to add that Mr. Harry Potter wizard.

Du Wei comforted the loyal knight of the Liszt family for a few words, and then went on the road with the snow wolf mercenary regiment.

Snow Wolf mercenary regiment is very full, around scattered two small teams open search. In the afternoon, Dewey witnessed the mercenaries hunting Warcraft.

The search team found a cave of Warcraft. The root of a towering tree was hollowed out, and a snow-white bear was hibernating in it.

This is a "roaring Snow Bear". This Warcraft is almost twice as big as an ordinary bear. It looks very similar to the polar bear that Dewey knew before. However, this kind of roaring Snow Bear can send out a magic attack: its roaring can roll up a small tornado!

Snow Wolf mercenary regiment seems to have a very skilled way to deal with this kind of Warcraft. A dozen strong warriors tied themselves and their companions together with ropes. First, they threw burnt pine branches into the bear cave, forced the bear out, and then attacked it with bows and arrows from a distance.

The roar of the giant bear started a small whirlwind and blew the two men into the air on the spot! Fortunately, they were tied up with their companions. Although they fell a little bit miserably, the snow was thick and there was no serious injury. It's just that an unfortunate guy fell on a stone covered with snow and sprained his waist.

The mercenaries enveloped the bear with a huge picture, and then divided it into four directions, with more than a dozen big men pulling on each side.

At last, the commander of bainrich, holding a huge axe, stood about 15 steps away from the bear. His fighting spirit was shining and he quickly threw the axe!

In that silver fighting spirit, the commander chopped the bear's head in two with one axe!

Dewey was surprised to see it.

The martial arts skills of this commander bainrich are really very powerful! He is one of the three outstanding mercenaries in the north. He is really capable!

Du Wei secretly compared him with the martial arts experts he had seen, and found that neither Knight Robert nor his father's chief bodyguard alpha swordsman was better than this bainrich.

I'm afraid the only thing that can be compared is Joanna's martial arts.

In the cheers of the mercenary soldiers, everyone went up and took back the bear's body. A team leader skillfully cut open the bear's belly with a dagger, took out the bear's gall, and then cut out the magic core from the bear's head and put it away.

For the rest, the three soldiers quickly peeled off the whole skin of the bear. As for the bear meat, they divided it into several pieces for the soldiers to share their backs, and then went on the road.

At the end of the day, Dewey saw similar scenes four or five times. The snow wolf mercenary group hunted another two snow wolf. Unfortunately, when hunting the second one, one of the mercenaries was badly scratched by the wolf's claws and his stomach was broken. On the spot, his intestines even flowed out!

"This is the life of the adventurer. Every day of adventure, someone may die. " Dardanelle whispered to Dewey, "I used to live like this, but later, I chose to quit."

The mercenaries only expressed a little mourning for their dead companions. Then they buried their companions' bodies and continued on their way

In the evening, we had a big meal of wolf meat, but when we took turns drinking to warm up, Duwei noticed a detail carefully. A dozen mercenaries sitting outside the campfire never touched the passing wine bag“ Those are the night watchmen. " The commander looked at Du Wei's puzzled eyes and said, "night watchmen, I ask them to be alert and calm all night! Because in this kind of place, if the night watchman has any negligence, the whole team may be ruined! Therefore, night watchmen are absolutely not allowed to drink a drop of wine! However, as a reward, these night watchmen can get double drinks after changing people the next night. They can also get an extra share of the spoils they get the next day. " When the commander said this, he added in a low voice: "of course, if they can go back alive at that time." After hearing this, Dewey looked at the night watchmen who cheered and drank with a calm face... There was a trace of respect in his eyes-
