Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Cook was shocked that his team was actually taking on the task of clearing the wasteland of his own chamber of commerce, because time was not waiting, so more than a month after the New Year, Cook and the others had to leave for the Monto Empire.

The trip on the road basically takes two months, of course, this is according to the mercenary's own ability, there are magic pets or mounts, or less, but unfortunately, because Cook's team set off relatively late, the entire magic city can't find ordinary mounts, Cook and others have to take a long-distance carriage to go.

"I said captain, we spent so much money, why don't we know how to buy a mount, look at the current speed, I think it will be dangerous to the Monto Empire in three months!"

Tyson still said the same thing: "Forget about jì, sorry!"

Due to the large number of people traveling to the Monto Empire, the cost of long-distance carriages skyrocketed fivefold, and because there were too many people passing by on the road, traffic accidents were frequent, and the prices of daily necessities were constantly rising.

And the security along the road is particularly bad, although there are constantly patrolling security teams, but these security teams are helpless in the face of a huge flow of people, the mercenaries themselves are a complex combination, these mercenaries can not care whether you are a chicken or a pheasant, a rabbit, or a hare, even if you get food, so the residents along the road are always inexplicably losing something.

Occasionally, you can see people hanging on the side of the road, this is the consequence of being caught by the security team, and it is impossible for the huge team to say that they are imprisoned, so as long as they commit a crime, there is nothing to say about hanging.

In this way, the mercenary union also sent its own law enforcement team, but on the road of more than 17,000 kilometers, more than 1,000 law enforcement teams were just like pepper noodles.

However, as time passed, Cook and the others had to get off the carriage and walk, because in the southernmost area of the Satya Empire, it was no longer a cold winter like the magic city, but a sunny summer, because the roads were not very good, and it rained, so most people had to go on foot.

After entering the Monto Empire, the price of daily necessities was higher, and he also had to face the harassment of mosquitoes, flies and some poisons, Cook didn't care, feeling the cool rain falling from his forehead, Cook also felt that the rain was good, the rain was not so sultry, and there was no mosquito harassment.

The Monto Empire has begun to build vigorously and expand the roads, and the Montu Empire can be said to have suddenly become a hot spot on the mainland, the original worthless land, now the price has skyrocketed, and Gerry, as the first merchant to come here, has obtained a large amount of land by some means.

If this is in the Satya Empire, it is simply impossible, mainly because the place of the Monto Empire is extremely remote, so Gerry hired a down-and-out nobleman, and then through Guò this nobleman let the royal family of the Montu Empire obtain territory for a large area in the south, and in private the nobleman sold these lands to Gerry, of course, Gerry also spent a lot of money to get through those high-level figures of the Monto Empire, and with the royal family, so Gerry easily obtained a radius of 500 kilometers of land, Gerry is also bold, directly took out a magic airship to the emperor of the empire, the emperor was very happy, and directly rewarded this area, and Gree bought only a dozen kilometers of land. And Gerry also mixed up the noble title of a hereditary earl.

But Gerry himself mainly wants to build a port, and planting sugar beets is not his main business, but since the emperor has been rewarded, it is impossible for Gerry not to be not, Gerry himself is still preparing to develop slowly, but after several major union presidents met at Cook's house, the emperor of the Monto Empire suddenly found that his empire had a lot of guys with money, and they bought land on a large scale, and the emperor was not stupid。

These laws were also fully agreed by the nobles of the Monto Empire, after all, the land of the Monto Empire is still owned by the nobles of the Monto Empire, and outsiders are what is going on, but soon the Monto Empire found out that the people who came from it had a very large background.

However, the Monto Empire has been poor for too long, and the local nobles are not afraid, and they unite to let these outsiders make some exchange interests, of course, these don't care about Gerry's business.

However, Gerry can't ignore it, so he only spends money to hire mercenaries, with only one purpose, to enclose the territory first, otherwise as more and more people intervene, it will be a matter of time before the surrounding land is bought.

It's a pity that Gerry didn't know that Cook was also in the mercenaries, and Cook's team finally reached the destination of the mission after two months of trekking, and to be honest, everyone did get a lot of exercise along the way, because they had been walking in the muddy field for a long time, so the team members had lost a lot of weight.

However, Russ in Cook's squad has broken through to become a great swordsman, and his combat effectiveness is the first person to be stable on the surface, when Giraud saw the house where the mercenaries were placed, although he was stunned, because the houses were all built of huge logs, and it was the appearance of a stilted building, and it looked like those pillars were simply tree trunks, seven or eight meters high from the ground, all of them were houses built with huge logs, and there were hundreds of mercenaries around, as well as a large number of slaves who were constantly cultivating the land, some slaves put them on trees and left the branches, and the rest were put on the ground to dry for a few days, and then burned down, it was fertile land。

"Tut, how much does this cost!" Tyson seemed to have some experience in farming, and after looking around, he sighed in admiration.

"Spend money, this place will definitely cost money. Giraud replied inexplicably.

"I don't mean that, you see, the canals between these lands, and the flat land, you must know that the price of digging a canal is the price of leveling dozens of acres of land, but there are also benefits, this place will be a good place in the future. Tyson pointed to a canal more than two meters wide and nearly two meters deep, with wooden stakes on either side of the canal.

"Everyone, everyone, welcome here, I'm the head of Hasen, in charge of this settlement!" At this moment, a person who looked like a head manager came out to greet Cook and the others.

"Hello, Mr. Hasson!" Tyson replied.

"Okay, don't say much, let's put it simply, we need a lot of manpower here, your employment price is two hundred gold coins a year, we cover the food, housing, but in terms of food, we are mainly responsible for the staple food, and the rest you need to figure out your own way, we will give each person a subsidy of eighty gold coins per year, but then again, there is simply too much to eat in this place, you need to train here for half a month, and then you will be sent to other places to carry out tasks, this is the captain of Johnny's guard, and you will obey his command in the future." 。 "Hasson left after that, and it seemed that he was really busy.

Johnny looked at Cook and the others and said, "Guys, come with me, it's terrible here!"

Tyson and the others didn't speak, they followed directly with their things, Johnny said as he walked: "Everyone, here, your biggest enemies are not those ferocious monsters, but those ubiquitous poisonous things, as well as poisonous insects, more than a dozen slaves have died in our settlement, and there are more than ten meters long pythons in this jungle, one bite is enough to swallow an elephant, which can be seen, killer bees, vampire bats ......." ”

Cook listened while walking, and the group gradually entered the house, and a wall composed of logs seven or eight meters high was erected around the house, the wall was two meters thick, not only there were deeply buried logs on both sides of the wall, but also rammed earth in the middle, plus wooden piles, it can be said that it was very strong, and some guards were constantly walking back and forth on the city wall, and the watchtower was more than ten, and Cook's eyes could easily see that there was a giant crossbow on the watchtower, and there were dried blood stains on the wall.

"Yes, this is where you will live in the future, but your job is to ensure the safety of those slaves. Johnny led Cook and the others up the city wall, then pointed to the slaves who were working in the distance.

After being arranged to live in a place, Johnny let Cook and the others rest for a day, and the next day he took Cook and the others into the jungle for training, introducing some highly poisonous plants, poisonous animals, and some dangerous swamps, man-eating vines and other things, so that Giraud and the others, who were originally in a relaxed mood, were also cautious.

The half-month training period passed quickly, and as time went by, several mercenary squads came to the residence, and there were constantly people around who were attacked.

"Damn, how did we assign this task?" Giraud scolded indignantly as he walked behind Cook, looking around warily.

"Don't talk about it, Giraud!" said Tyson, walking in the front, slashing at the thorns and vines that stood in his way, holding a huge single-edged sword.

Russ said indifferently: "This is already good, isn't it more than fifty kilometers of road!"

"Fifty kilometers, let's walk fifty kilometers here for a day!" Giro immediately jumped up.

"Boom!" said a screech from the arrow in Lila's hand, and Lila threw herself into the jungle, then brought back a half-sized bobcat.

"Haha, this thing still wants to sneak away!" Lila laughed.

Latif pouted and said, "I said lira, you can't hit something big, and besides, this thing smells bigger!"

"Fishy, Latif, you are so sorry, it wasn't the most you ate that time. Giraud said angrily.

"That's not even Hill's craft. Latif replied nonchalantly.

Cook looked at the map and said, "Alright, our mission is just ahead." ”

Cook also has a headache for this mission, Cook and the others are tasked with setting up an observation post on a mountain range fifty kilometers south of the settlement, once there are social animals and monsters, they will immediately warn, because there is just a news that in another place in the Monto Empire, a thousand people in a residence were attacked by a group of demonic beasts, and no more than ten people survived in the entire residence, so Cook's team was sent out to guard, but the change of the mission also more than doubled the honorarium, and the task amount per person was increased to five hundred gold coins, and each person had a subsidy of two hundred gold coins, and Russ was promoted to the Great Swordsman, that's why Tyson and others will accept this task, after all, the combat effectiveness of intermediate professionals is more than ten times that of junior professionals.

Of course, as a wood magician, Cook's annual remuneration is more than two thousand gold coins, and Russ is also this number, which is why Tyson chose this task, because Cook planted kilograms of poisonous thorns around the walls of his residence in half a month, and with these thorns, the protection of his residence has been improved by more than a level.

Cook and the others finally reached the mountain range before dark, without caring to check the surrounding terrain, Cook first used the seeds of poisonous thorns to build a rudimentary defensive circle, and then the rest of the people set up tents, there are a lot of mosquitoes in this place, Giraud even lit some wet grass, let the smoke smoke away the surrounding mosquitoes, and then rested after a simple meal, of course, the vigil is necessary.

Early the next morning, Cook and the others got up, and the top of the mountain was more than 200 square meters, of which 100 square meters were slightly flat areas, and the other was some standing rocks.

There is nothing to choose from in such an environment, cutting down trees, building dwellings, digging pools to store water, the whole house has been built in the afternoon, the house built of thick logs relies on the huge rocks that stand, the whole house is divided into four floors, the first floor is the lowest area, some miscellaneous items on the other side, the second and third floors are the places to live, and the fourth floor is the watchtower built on the rocks about ten meters high.

Cook threw a handful of thorn seeds down, and soon the entire top of the mountain was covered with thorns, and there was only one path leading down the mountain.

There is no way to do this, the watchtower is too dangerous, and those flying monsters like nothing more than standing on a high place, and if Cook does this, the entire top of the mountain looks like a giant hedgehog.

The houses were built in a simple way, with bark, weedy roofs, and log walls, but when everyone saw the hedgehog-like dwelling, their sense of security was greatly enhanced.

Giraud sighed, "Alas, if only I had Hill!"

"It's you, go get some water!" said Lira angrily.

Yes, this qiē is all because of Cook, otherwise who would dare to build the place of residence on the top of this mountain, this is looking for death, and the powerful flying demonic beast will find out at the first time, and then .......

After the house is built, it is a matter of the façade of the house, because the house is spacious, so one person has a room, Cook is the fourth floor exclusively, the fourth floor is divided into three parts, one part is where Cook lives, the other is the watchtower, the watchtower can directly lead to the top of a mountain rock, the top of the mountain stone has two or three square meters, and the other area is the place where the long-range weapons are placed, there is a small platform where the long-range weapons can be pushed out directly.

Since the house is built on the back of the mountain rock, the defense is only a place to go up the mountain, and there is such a place on each floor where the weapons are placed, but the second floor has a kitchen and a place to eat, so one person lives, and Russ lives below, because Russ is a mid-level professional, and the guards are better below, and the rest live on the third floor.

The mercenaries are all-rounders, and Giraud took advantage of the opportunity to fetch water to pick up some edible mushrooms, and they were picked up with wood, and then they were thrown away in the first layer area, and the top of the mountain was a gravel floor, but he was not afraid of any poisonous insects or the like.

In the evening, it was a mushroom bobcat broth, and after eating, the group discussed the next thing on the second floor, and since it was only a guard post agency, there were many peaceful days.

So the next opportunity to earn extra money comes, in the eyes of ordinary people, there are death traps around them, and in the eyes of mercenaries, this is a treasure, magic herbs, and magical beasts, these are all valuable things.

"I built yìras to sit at home, after all, the most important place to live is the most important thing, and the other thing is that when you go out, it is best to go out with four people, this place is too dense in the jungle. Tyson spoke first.

Ji Luo nodded and said, "Yes, the jungle in this place is much denser than the Warcraft Forest, and there are many poisonous insects in this place. ”

Russ replied with a smile, "I have no opinion." ”

What is Russ's opinion, because the extra money is evenly distributed, but the responsibility at home is heavier, and Latif gnawed on the bone as he said, "Anyway, I'm going out, what I need is to fight, fight!"

Tyson looked at Lila and said, "Lira, what do you think?"

"I don't care!" replied with a shrug.

Cook was looking down to think about something, but found that they were silent for a while, and when he looked up, he found that they were all looking at him, and Cook was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ciel, what do you think?" Tyson asked in a whisper when he heard Cook's words.

"Hehe, of course I'm going out with you, but let's be careful, the main thing in the early stage is to stabilize dìng. Cook said with a smile, Cook found that he had gone through more than two months of gravity training, yes, Cook has not turned off the gravity magic pattern equipped on his body, Cook found that he has moved freely under twice the gravity, but Cook knows that this is not the bottom line of his potential, and he can't say that Cook is going to be ready to add some gravity, although it seems that twice the gravity is very strong, but Cook knows that this is far from enough, and Cook is very much looking forward to what the bottom line of his potential is.

"What Hill said makes sense, so it was decided, Russ and Lila are in charge of the house, and the rest will go out, but this is not a certainty, Russ and Lila can also take turns to go out with us. "Tyson is waiting for Cook's words, why Russ, a great swordsman, still stays in this team, it's not for Cook's face.

Tyson also knows that in this squad, needless to say, it is very difficult to be able to reach the intermediate professional in this life, all he wants is to make more money, and then let his descendants have more resources, so as to reach a higher apex.

Latif is a battle maniac, and as long as he is not impulsive, his future is limitless.

Russ has a good talent, and as long as he has enough resources, it is not impossible to advance to a senior professional.

Giro's talent is average, but Giro's understanding is good, and his future growth is still unknown, as for Lira, it is the mentality of being a little rich and peaceful, this mission, Lila doesn't want to come, but maybe he thought of following Cook, and his luck is not bad, so he hesitated before coming out.

"Come out, come out, magic airship, magic airship!" Early the next morning, Lira shouted loudly, and Cook and the others immediately came out, seeing a huge airship slowly landing.

Johnny first got off the magic airship and yelled, "Guys, come and move things!"
