Othua's War Banner

Chapter 198: 0197: Mercenary Request

Ken doesn't know what's going on in the main building.

He only noticed slight fluctuations in magic at dawn.

But Selina is still here, he simply thinks that this is some dangerous attempt by the female magician.

Sandton Kaya's population is steadily increasing.

The Qi Bing apostle effect is gradually weakening. Although the Shankou Tavern and the Mercenary Guild are still discussing this matter, there are many Qi Bing apostles in the northern border. After losing the public opinion inducement of [Hundred Objects], no one pays attention to this matter anymore .

Ken developed and began to radiate to surrounding villages and tribes.

He tried to trade with the villagers, helped the villages get rid of raiders and bandits, and even helped those who were poor or suffering from natural disasters.

At first, everyone was wary of it.

But as the style of Thornton Kaya's army became known, Ken's good reputation gradually spread, and more and more people took the initiative to come to seek refuge.

Sometimes, not all those who come are refugees.

【Facilities: Commercial Station】

【Grade: C】

【Cargo horse capacity: 10】

[Description: A place for travelers to rest, which can attract passing vendors to come and rest, so as to obtain priority trading rights. 】

Vendors always bring surprises.

City and Hume often pack the alcohol in the goods, while Ken buys daily necessities, or construction tools that are inconvenient to make.

He has also encountered alchemy consumables and goods such as monster corpses.

But after scanning the notes, the quality of the pop-ups is basically not up to standard.

In addition, Thornton Kaya has not yet built a building such as the [Secret Art Room], and there are no corresponding talents to use it, so he does not need such products.

Among business travelers, the most in-demand item is probably equipment.

Corpses are hidden everywhere in the northern border, and decayed steel or magic stones may be found anywhere.

Hawkers or impoverished mountain people seized the business opportunities and often collected them, remade them and sold them to gatherings or strongholds.

In the vendor's equipment list, Ken also saw many styles from the southern border countries.

"War is always accompanied by human beings. How can there be no market for weapons in this passionate land in the North?"

Said a certain Levixia businessman resting.

The style of weapons of the southern border countries is indeed much more graceful, and the craftsmanship of short knives and daggers is more exquisite. Even if they are sold to the northern border, most of them can only be used as supporting self-defense equipment.

[Equipment: Wild Bee Dagger]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Durability: 99%]

Ken picked out a few gadgets, and matched them with a set of thin mail armor that fit him well.

Lanz also walked around enthusiastically, but unfortunately, the size of the giant was not within the consideration of the southern border traders.

He was a little depressed, and said to the banner full of jealousy: "You have that big axe, why do you need this needle?"

"There's always a time when it's useful."

Kuima patted him on the back, and then put on the finger cots he had just chosen - it is said that it is a unique equipment of the elf race, which can increase the feel of picking strings.

Meng and Lorgar also gained something.

Even the gloomy [Army Shaman] picked out a cloak made of swamp monster skin in the corner of the merchandise.

"You people... are here purely for looks, are these gadgets useful?"

Lanz's eyes were extremely greedy, but his mouth was extremely hard.

"Of course it works."

Fully dressed, Ken slipped the dagger into the straps between his legs.

He said: "A long time ago, when I first started my adventure, I used a steel-edged dagger to deal with the wilderness, and almost killed a Parmenolo wild boar."

"Yes, I can testify."

Kuima raised her hand, "Even the fragments of that dagger forcibly peeled off an adult Cangcuo snake that had shed its skin!"

Everyone in Thornton Kaya was amazed.

On the contrary, the mercenaries resting around showed a look of watching the excitement.

They have heard too much cowhide, and they habitually subtract the meritorious deeds that others say.

Even though they were in front of a man who claimed to have led the team to defeat Tu Zhanwa, they were still more willing to believe that it was the joint efforts of the tribal coalition forces.

"You mean Cangcuo Snake?"

Lowndes scratched his head.

Among the beasts of Kulunbona, the Cangcuo snake is the most troublesome one, even the giants born there find it troublesome.

"Don't doubt it, child."

The shaman with the army patted Langz on the belly and asked him to go to the warmer under the altar to have a look - the Cangcuo snake eggs brought back by Zhanjing were still hatching.

When Ken was about to leave, a mercenary suddenly appeared.

"Brave sir, can you help us?"

He was wearing light armor with scaly patterns, and he seemed to have been seriously injured. Judging by his attire, he looked like a member of a famous mercenary guild, not the kind of wild guy who would hang out in a tavern and wait to die.

"Some ointment, Quema."

Ken ordered his subordinates to bring the medicine prepared in the tribe, and did not use the skills given by the remarks at will.

The origin of these people is unknown, it is better to be cautious.

He opened the wound and saw very bad bruises.

"You really are a tough guy," Lorgar raised his brows, "be patient, you should be lucky to be alive."

He took out a small knife he bought just now, and cut open the black-purple wound. Thick blood flowed out, and the opponent's face seemed to be much more relaxed.

"Tell me, what have you guys been through?"

Ken asked his subordinates to help them tidy up their wounds, and then brought some food and water, and after some comfort, he began to listen to their stories.

This group of people is a group of mercenaries from the southern border countries.

They are members of the Grand Council and were ordered to escort a certain famous person to travel to the northern border, but they encountered an accident not long ago.

"We originally wanted to go directly to the north. The plan was to pass through a canyon, but a legendary creature appeared there. Can you imagine? Mandi, a monster made of stone, just stayed there quietly .”

The onlookers gasped in amazement.

Everyone in Santon Kaya was silent, and Kuima quietly glanced at Zhan Jing.

Ken showed a dignified look, and asked tentatively: "Ahem, as far as I know, legendary creatures usually don't take the initiative to attack, and they will stay in a fixed place, right? Does this affect you?"

"Of course," said the mercenary leader, "our route was drawn up in advance, who would have thought that we would encounter such a situation that we would never see in a few lifetimes."

His deputy added: "There is no way, we can only change the direction and shift to the west."

The mercenaries seem to have hired a guide from the northern border, but unfortunately, this guide is estimated to have been in the southern border countries all year round, and has not returned to Palotusbi recently.

Otherwise, the Qi Bing apostle would make a fuss, how could this group of people not know about it.

"Just when we are about to reach the Qiuming Ancient Road..."

"Let me guess," Ken interrupted ahead of time, "you have encountered another legendary creature."
