Giraud and Russ hurried to the gate to light the fire, while Cook and Tyson were busy lighting the torches, which were lit one by one and thrown into the camp, while Lira watched the watchtower vigilantly to prevent people from going to the watchtower.
"Whew!" torches were thrown into Tyson with all his might.
"Attack, attack!" the camp screamed loudly, accompanied by the sound of doors opening, noise, and pots and pans.
"Oh no, the gate is also on fire!" At this time, the fire at the gate was also ignited, and bundles of branches drenched with demonic beast grease burned violently, but the branches were mixed with a large number of fresh branches, as well as highly poisonous herbs, and suddenly the entire gate was filled with smoke, accompanied by a pungent smell.
"Lila, Ciel, you stay here, Giraud, Russ, and me, let's go inside!" Tyson immediately commanded in a low voice as he saw the chaos inside.
Tyson, Russ, and Giraud reached the back of the camp, their mouths and noses covered with wet cloths, and the thieves had a special way to deal with the poisonous smoke.
Lila watched the three of them disappear into the night, and said to Cook, "Ciel, let's stand back and hide in the dark!"
"Yes!" Cook sighed, and followed Lira back more than a hundred meters, it was already dark, and the fire at the gate was not very big, mainly because there were many fresh branches, so that there was more poisonous smoke.
"Ahem. Ahem, quick, quick, put out the fire at the gate first, this smoke is poisonous!"
"Hurry, hurry!" the man inside finally realized that something was wrong, and roared loudly, accompanied by a violent cough.
"What should I do?" asked Lira anxiously, because of the smoke and darkness, so the vision was not good, and if the enemy was to extinguish the fire inside, I was afraid that the outside would not be able to detect it at all.
Cook shook his head and said: "Unless there are special fire extinguishing tools, otherwise, how can such a large poisonous smoke be close to extinguish the fire." ”
As soon as Cook reminded him, Lira was relaxed, Cook was right, such a big poisonous smoke couldn't get close at all.
"I can't get close, this poisonous smoke is too big!"
"Ahem, that's it!" the people inside also found that they couldn't get closer, and roared loudly.
"Ah, there are spies!" said yes, a miserable cry rang out, followed by a loud roar.
"Ahh
"Ahh
Cook shook his head, in such darkness, there was incomparable chaos, such a scene, there was only a rout, but then there was a shout inside, and Cook was immediately stunned.
"Everyone lay down their weapons, and those who don't lay down their weapons are spies!" roared the man inside.
"Lira, throw!" Cook immediately whispered to Lira.
Lira was anxious when she heard what was going on, and when she heard Cook's words, her eyes lit up, and arrows were thrown out.
"Ah! there are archers!"
"Oh!
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Knock! knock!" There was a thump on one of the fences, and before Cook could react, he saw a group of bandits holding a log and smashing through the fence, and then running out in a swarm.
Lila and Cook looked at each other, there are dozens of people in this Nima, dealing with that, Cook immediately said: "Lira, you are waiting for the captain here, I will follow, pay attention to the marks I left!"
"No, how can you ....... Lila hurriedly stopped.
"It's okay, my weapon is best suited for medium and long-range combat, besides, I'm a hunter, and I also have a flying pet, just because I can't fight doesn't mean I can't track." Cook said confidently.
Before Rira could reply, Cook rushed out, in such a dark environment, and in the wilderness, these bandits would surely gather together, and the fence of the camp was not meant to guard against the enemy, but against wild beasts, and ordinary people lived in it, and perhaps the people next door were dragged away by the beasts without knowing it.
Although Cook's actions are not very fast, he is a professional after all, and the other party is almost all ordinary people, and the reason why he said it is all because Cook's magic eye found that there was a faint magic in the dozens of people in front of him.
"Interesting, there is actually a magician?" Cook followed behind, observed for a long time and finally determined the professional in front, if it was a combat professional, he would have run alone a long time ago, and those who could have the same speed as ordinary people were only magicians.
"Second-level magician!" Cook once again determined the level of the magician, because this magician did not release magic, but his own magic power was faintly emitted, and the low-level magician did not have the ability to prevent his own magic power from emitting, so Cook judged that he was only a second-level magician according to the brightness of the elements emitted.
Because there are many trees in the jungle and there are many people in front of him, Cook didn't judge the age, gender, equipment or anything, and he couldn't help but have such a harvest.
Sure enough, as Cook expected, these people simply escaped together, Cook was in the back, and Cook was able to see in the dark, so Cook's actions were much faster.
Cook made a mark casually, but Cook saw that the bandits in front of him did not cover the way to escape, and Cook knew that it was a group of rookies, so even if Cook did not make a mark, then with Giraud's skills, he could find it, but it was slower.
After about two hours, the sky had gradually opened, and the four of Giraud finally arrived, and there were large bags and small bags, Cook looked at it and asked in surprise: "What about Russ?" and "In the back, there is a large amount of trophies, and Russ is camelped with oxen." Tyson explained.
"There are thirty-one people in total, of which twenty-five are ordinary people, five are second-level melee professionals, and one is a magician, probably also second-level. Cook reported on the enemy situation ahead.
"Magician!" the other three were startled, their faces a little ugly.
"I said that there are some magic materials in the camp, it turns out that there are magicians. Giro said with a sudden realization.
"What should I do?" Lila panicked, not to say that he was afraid of the magician, but that the crime of killing the magician was the same as the crime of killing the nobles, and it was more severe.
Because the number of magicians is definitely less than the number of nobles, magicians will be handed over to a special magician's guild, and even if they are handled, they will not be killed, but just some punishments.
Even an empire does not have the right to judge magicians, and of course, if they are killed and no one knows, then it is another matter.
Everyone looked at Tyson, and Tyson also found it extremely tricky, and Tyson looked at everyone and asked, "What do you say?"
"I'll forget it, we're done anyway. "Although Giraud really wants to kill the magician, but there are many people on the other side, once the news leaks out, then being wanted by the magicians' union is really only a dead end.
"I think so. "Rila is sure to kill the mage before she casts the spell, after all, low-level mages are still vulnerable.
Cook disagreed: "Leave it to me, magician, and you can take care of the rest!"
"Ciel, don't, it's a magical ....... Tyson hurriedly persuaded, but when Cook found something, Tyson's mouth opened wide and he was dumbfounded, and Giraud and Lira also looked like hell.
"Actually, I'm still a wood-based magician, but my magic talent isn't very good, but I'm also a third-level wood-based magician. Cook said a little embarrassed, the reason why Cook didn't use healing on Tyson was because low-level magicians in the wood system couldn't release healing, it was the magic of middle-level magicians, so Cook didn't release it, because he didn't want to arouse the curiosity of others, besides, Tyson's wound was a minor injury, and if his life was dying, Cook might not care so much.
"You, you, what other profession do you have?" said Giraud before stammering.
"Well, there's this!" Cook took out his pharmacist badge and looked at it, and he was stunned, because he was still a pharmacist apprentice badge, Cook then woke up, and he almost forgot to do the pharmacist's professional level assessment.
"Well, I finally know you have so much money, apothecary apprentice!" Giraud finally came to his senses, Cook has so much money to engage in equipment, for a person like Cook, even if it is a gold coin, the bullet is enough to use, but the lira is a little bitter, first thought that he was highly talented, but he didn't expect that other people's talent was higher, what is the use of bow and arrow talent, a pharmacist apprentice is enough to kill a group of archers in seconds, and it is also an intermediate archer, as for the magician, what is the price of a mercenary for a third-level magician? Is it three thousand a year, or five thousand gold coins? If you add the status of an apothecary's apprentice, you will get at least 10,000 gold coins a year.
"Why don't you go to the big mercenary group?" asked Tyson, confused.
"It's boring, I can't get training there, and I don't want to spend my life refining potions, I'm focusing on improving my strength now, and fighting is the fastest way to improve my strength. Cook replied with his hands outstretched.
Tyson and a few people were in tears, with 10,000 gold coins, or the lowest annual salary, but they didn't go, and they were bored and sent away.
"Alright, I'll get that magician!" Cook felt that the team was okay, so Cook exposed some things, after all, the leak now also made Cook himself a lot more relaxed.
Cook was under the surprised gaze of Tyson, and then strode towards the place where the bandits were resting, Cook was discovered when he was dozens of meters away from the bandits, and the bandits immediately grabbed the weapons in their hands and looked at Cook vigilantly.
"Inside you, just you, come out!" Cook pointed directly at the magician.
"Kill!" the bandits roared and rushed towards Cook.
"Thorns!" Cook gave him a contemptuous look, and then the two seeds in his hand were thrown out in an instant.
"Damn, instant magic!" Giraud's eyes almost fell out.
"It seems that the wood mage is low-level, and this is just one magic. Tyson then said, and the three of them understood that it would take almost years for a third-level magician to reach it, so it would be forgivable for Cook to practice this magic for several years.
"Bang bang!" But when he saw Cook manipulating two vines the thickness of his thumb like whips to fly directly out of the dozen or so people who rushed up, Tyson's eyes widened.
As a mercenary, you must have an understanding of all professionals, otherwise what to do when hostile, in the hearts of Tyson, low-level magicians are rookies, and they can be done lightly, because low-level magicians have a low success rate in casting spells, and thank God for being successful three times out of ten, and the control is poor, that is to say, the meaning of poor accuracy, the attack distance is short, generally only about fifty meters, and the time for chanting spells is long, with a minimum of 2.5 seconds, and the distance of a warrior sprinting fifty meters is less than two seconds.
But Cook actually subverted the concept of a low-level magician, and instantaneously magicized "A few people didn't hear Cook chanting a spell" , Control zhì two vines to pull more than a dozen people out, the farthest is almost thirty meters, this is also control zhì force is poor, look at the more than ten meters long thorns, a few people feel that if they are themselves, I am afraid that they will only be pumped away, attack distance, I didn't see Cook's other hand and the fire gun, you want to avoid the vines, people will give you a direct blow, the horses are directly killed, not to mention people, if you are unlucky and entangled, cough cough cough .......
"Your Excellency!" The magicians in the bandit team immediately stood up as soon as they saw it, the gap between the low-level and high-level magicians in the magicians is very large, and it is also very strict, if the magicians on both sides fight, if the high-level magicians warn, the low-level magicians insist on going their own way, then they will be killed if they are killed, and the high-level magicians will just go back and explain to the magicians' union, and there will be no crime at all.
"Come out, I'll tell the union about you. Without saying a word, Cook tied up the magician with vines and dropped a word.
"Come on!" Cook looked behind him, why no one rushed, Cook looked back, and the eyes of all three of them widened.
"Kill!" Tyson reacted immediately and yelled loudly.
"Surrender, we surrender!" the bandits on the opposite side still had some fighting thoughts, and immediately prostrate themselves on the ground and shouted.
And Cook searched the magician, the magician was a middle-aged man with a lot of small things on his body, but in Cook's opinion, this did not match the identity of a magician at all, Cook secretly scolded: "Poor ghost!"
However, when Cook turned his head to look, he found that Giraud and the others had already tied up the rest of the bandits, and looked at Cook drooling, to be precise, looking at what Cook had searched and found.
"What? you want?" asked Cook, pointing to something on the ground.
"Yes!" Giraud didn't expect Cook to ask like this, and replied casually, but after answering, he realized how embarrassed and embarrassed he was.
"Go ahead, it's not anything of value. As soon as Cook's words came out, the middle-aged magician who was tied up was simply embarrassed.
"What? Hill, is this something worth hundreds of gold coins?" Tyson said in disbelief.
"Take it, I'm useless with these things. Cook said again.
"Yay!" Giraud rushed straight to what Cook was searching for, grabbing a silver dagger.
"The white iron dagger is still made by the dwarves, and this one alone is hundreds of gold coins. Ji Luo pulled it out and looked at it, and found that it was silvery-white, and very thin, almost not much thicker than sheepskin, white iron is a more advanced thing than fine iron, but this dagger is thinner, so it is almost twice the price of a fine iron dagger, and this dagger seems to have been used for a long time, so hundreds of gold coins is a suitable price, Ji Luo can't help but admire himself, he has long known that magicians are rich, so Ji Luo got the dagger for the first time, and it was not what he expected.
Tyson grabbed the magician's potion bag, which was actually a small vest-like thing, with small pockets on it, don't underestimate this vest, a hundred gold coins is a lot.
Because there is a constant temperature magic array on this vest, otherwise you can stand it if you wear a thick fur vest on a hot day?
However, there are only three bottles of potions inside, and they are all the lowest-level, all of them are healing potions, about nearly fifty gold coins, and there are some empty bottles, so it is impossible for such a magician to have mana potions.
"Haha!" Tyson's back molars leaked out of his smile, three bottles of healing potions were enough to raise Tyson's combat effectiveness by a level, after all, with the magic potion as a backing, he would be even more able to let go of his hands when fighting.
Lila was depressed, and finally there was a ring left, this ring was a shield ring, for Lira who is not a magician, this thing is chicken ribs, because this thing needs to consume mana, but Lira has magic there?
"This thing is worth a thousand gold coins!" Cook whispered, the shield ring is very difficult to refine, so the price is higher.
"Really!" Lira almost fainted with happiness, a thousand gold coins, Lira immediately thought about what equipment to change for a thousand gold coins, and most of the mercenaries actually changed their equipment, because good equipment represents an increase in survival rate.
"W-what's going on?" Russ appeared with a creaking sound, surprised to see the bandits tied up.
"Hehe!" the three of them were a little embarrassed, because the good things were divided between the three of them.
"Russ. Let's talk!" Giraud and the three looked at each other, then pulled Russ down into the woods.
"No, no, how could it be!" came Russ's voice, accompanied by a roar.
Russ came out with a depressed face, looking at Cook's eyes a little strange, Cook was indifferent, Cook asked, "Captain, can we go?"
"Didn't ask what happened to these people?" asked Russ, puzzled, for there were magicians among the bandits, which was quite rare.
Ji Luo hurriedly whispered: "Stupid, what is a magician, there must be a conspiracy here, if you ask, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future, let's not ask, just hand it over to the magician union." ”
"Hehe!" Russ smiled to hide his embarrassment, indeed, it must have something to do with the fight between the nobles.
This time it can be said to be a bumper harvest, but this magician is worth a lot of money, about three thousand gold coins, Cook knows that this may be the accumulation of this second-level magician for several years, but Cook does not mean to let go, after all, this is a trophy, and if the second-level magician is hired by the nobles as a magic tutor to teach his children, this is just the price of a year's salary, of course, he can use a magician as a mentor for his children, and the level is very high.
When the five people escorted dozens of bandits back to the town, the whole town was alarmed, Cook returned the staff to the middle-aged man, not that the staff was worthless, but that the staff belonged to controlled items, except for magicians, the rest of the professions were not allowed to trade, buy and sell, once found, the consequences were unpredictable, and the lightest was to fine the Qin family's bankruptcy, in fact, this article was aimed at those merchants, after all, merchants like to hoard Juqi, this trick is to put an end to the trick of merchants to make profits from the staff, and Cook does not look down on this staff.
"Your Excellency, a big iron mine has been found here!" The middle-aged magician didn't know whether to be grateful to Cook or wanted to get Cook into trouble, and when he left, he gave Cook a message, because the badge was taken away by Cook, so the middle-aged man had to go to the magician's union to explain the situation, otherwise, the punishment would be very severe, so Cook directly withheld the badge, and the person sent him away.
"Big iron mine!" Cook suddenly understood, the big iron mine five hundred kilometers away from the magic city, this is only afraid of causing a bloody storm, the storage of the magic city has caused the price of minerals in a large area around it to soar, after all, too much is consumed, and an iron ore is almost a big gold mine.
"Ciel, let's go!" Tyson and the others also went to the mayor of the town and obtained instructions for completing the task, of course, the task situation is not consistent with the task of the mercenary union and has also been proven, Tyson and the others will find the mercenary union to increase the task level after they go back, the level of the task is related to the number of points and honorarium, and the difficulty of the task is increased by one level, at least ten times the points and honorarium, so Tyson and the others will not let it go.
"Here we are!" Cook replied, and walked toward the carriage.
"Ciel, how about we form a mercenary squad?" Tyson asked Cook with some hesitation, and Giraud and the others also looked at Cook with expectant eyes, and Cook hesitated.
