"Hurt so badly, is something wrong?"

A voice rang out in his ear, and Vico turned his head to see that it was Falton, who was also a warlock.

Falton sat down beside him with a large wine glass, and probably noticed that his injuries were not as serious as they seemed, so he raised the glass and asked, "Would you like one?"

Vico shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I accidentally contracted 'wolf venom' before, and the doctor said that if you don't want your blood to be polluted, it's best to rest for a while." I didn't come to the tavern to drink, just to inquire about news. ”

"Oh, that's right......" Falton glanced at Vico with pity, fellow warlocks who knew how troublesome it was if a warlock was accidentally infected with 'wolf venom'.

'Wolf venom' is not a toxin, but a factor that can pollute the bloodline, which generally only appears in the wound of being bitten by a werewolf, but if it is bitten or scratched by an ordinary wolf creature, there is also a small probability that wolf venom will pollute the bloodline.

This kind of thing is quite troublesome to deal with, and if it is someone else, it is fine, and Vico is another warlock who needs to constantly purify his bloodline.

If it weren't for the fact that the level of medical care in Overwatch was far superior to the rest of the continent, then Vico would not be to recuperate, but to go out and find a potions master or seek help from the church.

At the beginning, due to the large-scale bloodline awakening phenomenon in the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, many warlocks who did not have enough wealth to carry out the 'bloodline purification ritual' rushed from all over the continent after receiving the news, trying to find a way to advance themselves here.

Although they also know that there is little hope, they are willing to try and seize this possible opportunity.

This is why Vico and Falton came to the principality, and before that, they didn't know each other, perhaps because they didn't have enough money to get home, or because they saw a way to make a fortune, many of them chose to stay here and become adventurers or mercenaries.

As far as they knew, there were already people who wanted to move their families to the principality, even if they didn't want their family's land, and they understood that.

"Those brutes, I don't know what's going on, they didn't die after six shots in the head!" Touching the bandage around his waist, recalling the scene at that time, Vico couldn't help but grin and gasp and cursed.

He pointed to his head and gritted his teeth at Falton and said, "Six shots! I shot the wolf in the head six times, and it was stunned to pounce on me and catch me before he died! Not only the one I dealt with, but when we faced five wolves at the same time, the beasts were not even the slightest afraid, and they did not take a step back until they died, and when the battle was over, we took a look—do you know what we found?"

Falton looked at the hideous-looking Vico and took a sip of ale and swallowed it with a "grunt", "What did you find?"

"Looking at the vigorous fur, but I didn't expect their stomachs to be deflated—do you know what's going on? hungry!" Saying that, Vico slapped the table indignantly, "Damn, the five of us are all veterans, and we almost killed five hungry wolves! Because of this, we have to come back to recuperate from our injuries less than a day after we went out, and we haven't made any fart!"

Hearing him say this, Farton shook his head and sighed, "No, it's not just you, you look at the others?"

Looking in the direction of Falton's finger, Vico noticed that the others did not look very good, and suddenly became puzzled and asked in surprise, "Are they...... Same as me?"

"Almost......" sighed again, and Falton threw his head back and drank the ale from his glass.

The current situation is very unfavorable for them adventurers, almost all of the commissions of the Principality of Sorrow are aimed at the Black Forest, if they can't enter the Black Forest, they can't make money, and if they can't make money, with the consumption habits of adventurers and mercenaries, it may not be long before they have to leave this place and go to other countries to earn a living.

To tell the truth, if they could, they still wished they could stay here, and in this principality, even the standard of living of the common people was no worse than that of the kulaks of other countries.

Many of the facilities here are quite ...... In the words of the head maid, it was 'modern', able to meet most of the needs of life, and there was no excrement and garbage on the streets, so there was no need to endure the stench and filth.

In their eyes, this is the real 'civilized society', and only after coming here will they know that the life of the nobles is nothing.

They like it, and only here, will they be treated as equals, and will not be discriminated against, hostile, or even hateful because of their status as outsiders......

"Because of this, our team walked back before they could get out......" Falton shook his head as he looked at the empty glass.

He didn't seem to want to talk about these things, but it was understandable, after all, they adventurers spent almost all the money on them before every mission, except for the warlocks who had to accumulate wealth for the 'bloodline purification ritual'.

Vico believes Falton should still have money on him, but not much on his teammates.

Unable to find a solution, they must leave the principality......

"Why don't we do it together?"

Listening to the muffled discussion in the tavern, Vico had never seen such a gloomy atmosphere in this tavern.

After some deliberation, he spoke his thoughts a little louder, allowing his voice to resound throughout the tavern.

At this time, not only the adventurers and mercenaries who stayed in the tavern and drank alcohol, but even the boss who was sitting behind the counter with nothing to do looked up.

Although Vico also felt that he was a little reckless, this idea must have been thought of by others, but no one said it, indicating that there are still many problems that cannot be solved, such as how to solve conflicts if some teams act together, how to reconcile different styles of action, if these problems are not solved, for a team, it is fatal.

And the adventurers and mercenaries seem to be quite casual, but in fact most of them are a group of selfish people, if they receive a task, then whose task should be completed first, and whether the team that completed the task can quit after the task is completed - this may be the reason why no one else has raised this opinion.

If these problems cannot be solved, no matter what kind of advice is put forward, it is useless!

However, only when the problem is raised can the problem be solved, otherwise, who will bother to think about these things that have nothing to do with them?

Thinking like this, Vico stood up, looked around, and said a little nervously: "Now that these changes have taken place in the Black Forest, and the head maid of Selina must know about this, then, she will definitely formulate relevant measures." But that's for this principality, it doesn't have much to do with us, we're adventurers and mercenaries, begging for a living here, but I'm sure no one will leave here unless we have to! Teams can complement each other, and there is strength in numbers, so if you act together, you won't die......"

"If you want to distribute the benefits, you can ask the official to send us a recorder to calculate the merits of the battle, and finally distribute it according to the amount of effort - if you also think this idea is feasible, tomorrow at noon, it will still be this tavern, and people who want to act together will come to me!"

In the end, Vico gradually calmed down, but he did not have any remorse or shame, because this is what he thought!

If a team of a few people can't survive in the Black Forest now, then a team of dozens of people can, anyway, they just go around the periphery and don't go too deep.

The more people there are, the more power they have, the more money and 'battle exploits' they can earn, and if they can take this opportunity to exchange for more powerful weapons and equipment, then they can steadily improve their combat effectiveness, and then form a virtuous circle.

Yes, that's how it should be!
