Godsend Field

Chapter 45 Night Cat
After Baal and Captain Fett finished their dinner, Lili and Si Ni packed up the tableware before returning to the iron shelf to prepare their own dinner.Tianci had already cleaned the two pheasants. Wen Lili borrowed two iron skewers to skewer the pheasants and put them on the campfire to start roasting. Rotate the iron skewers from time to time to let the pheasants be heated evenly and avoid being burnt.

Most of the people were full, and most of the coachmen went to rest in the tents, and a few of them were still chatting by the campfire.Under Feite's instruction, the first team of the mercenary regiment was in charge of vigilance, and the third team returned to the camp for dinner.

Tianci and Lili borrowed some condiments and sprinkled them on the pheasant finely, and continued to roast them on the fire. land!
"Look at your talent! You haven't eaten in 800 years, even if you are a fox, you have to be a little graceful, pay attention to your image!" Looking at Yu'er's appearance, Tianci scolded.Yu'er doesn't care, material life comes first, spiritual life comes second!
"You did the catching this time, and I did the cooking, so each one is fair and reasonable! But in view of your active performance, I will reward you with an extra chicken wing!" As he said, Tianci released a pheasant In front of Yu'er, he tore off a chicken wing from his pheasant and gave it to Yu'er!Yu'er held the whole roast chicken in her arms with her front paws, and started to eat it!Tianci walked to Lili and Si Ni, sat down and began to enjoy dinner.

Lili and Si Ni also prepared their own dinner, with dry bread and leftover broth.Lili's food is very ladylike, but Si Ni's food is not flattering.Tianci tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Si Ni, "Here you go, eat more!"

Si Ni opened her eyes and looked at Tianci in disbelief, her eyes showed a burning longing, but she didn't dare to pick it up, she turned her head and looked at Lili again, Lili nodded, Si Ni took the chicken leg carefully, it smells so good the taste of!

"Oh!" Si Ni suddenly called out softly, covered her mouth with her little hand, and said vaguely, "Hot~~hot~~"

"Hahaha!" Tianci smiled happily, "It's just baked, of course it's hot, what a fool!"

"Shut up the food!" Si Ni refused to spit out the hot meat in her mouth, so she could only speak vaguely, with a protesting expression on her face!

"Yes, little benben! I'll call you little benben from now on! Hahaha! Little benben!" Tianci deliberately teased Si Ni.

"Hmph!" Si Ni turned her head and ignored Tianci, gently blew on the chicken drumsticks with her mouth, and began to eat happily.

Lili couldn't help laughing watching the two, Tianci tore off the only wing and handed it to Lili.Lili generously took it and tasted it carefully.

After eating a pheasant with no wings and one leg missing, Tianci rubbed his belly, as if he was not full?Looking around, everyone has already eaten or rested or chatted, only Yuer who is a few steps away is still enjoying the food in an orderly manner, the single wing has only bones left, and the whole pheasant is only half eaten piece.Tianci walked over, "Yu'er, discuss it with you, you see you are so small..."

After saying a few words, Yu'er reacted quickly, flipping the other half of the chicken over with his two front paws and licking it back and forth with his tongue, then looking at Tianci purely with his tongue watery, what do you want to discuss with me? thing?

Tianci felt depressed, while Lili and Si Ni who were on the side laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

After dinner, Lili and Si Ni cleaned the tableware and put them in the back of the carriage.Lili went to Barr's carriage again, and returned to her own carriage after making the bed. Si Ni had already spread a simple mattress in the carriage, waiting for Lili to come in and sleep together.

The climate in the north has a large temperature difference between day and night. It is still hot at noon when wearing jackets. At night, the temperature drops sharply, and the cold wind blows through. Tianci can't help shivering, so he quickly sat by the campfire.

"What's the matter, little brother, didn't you prepare a tent?" A patrolling mercenary came over.

"En!" Tianci responded casually.

"My name is Jack, and I'm the captain of the second team of our Soaring Mercenary Corps. Tonight we will be in charge of the night watch. It's the first time for you little brother to go out, as if you haven't prepared anything! Do you want to go to my tent to rest first?" Jack said arrive.

"No need, I'll just warm up here!"

"Okay, sit down for a while, I'll go on patrol, and talk to you later!" After speaking, Jack continued to patrol.

The night was very quiet, and the crackling sound of the bonfire was very clear.Tianci hugged her knees, staring at the bonfire in a daze.Recalling that three years ago, in such an environment, Tianci sat next to An Rui and asked about grudges.At that time, Dad didn't answer clearly either, and only told a story about the origin of the human race to confuse himself.You don't have to worry about anything when you go out with your dad. The wild meat you roast is the best. Follow your dad and don't even think about hurting yourself with any monsters!And my mother's gentle hands, touching my face is so comfortable.Thinking about it, Tianci couldn't help but smile.

"What are you thinking, so happy?" After patrolling, Jack asked curiously when he saw Tianci laughing alone.

Tianci suddenly came back to his senses, "It's nothing, I remembered my parents!"

"I heard from the leader that your parents are in the capital?" Jack also sat down.
"Well, it's been three years since I left them!" Tianci and Jack chatted with each other.Tianci is also interested in mercenaries, so Jack briefly introduced mercenaries to Tianci.

Although the mainland is divided into four empires, there is no difference for mercenaries.The mercenary union was established as early as when the French Empire unified the mainland. Although the mainland was later split into four empires, the mercenary union was not under the jurisdiction of the empire.The headquarters of the mercenary union is in Marseille, the capital of France, which has a history of 6000 years. It has also set up direct branches in the capitals of the remaining three empires.Each empire branch sets up branches in larger cities or more important, special towns and villages in the empire to issue tasks and collect information.After thousands of years of development and improvement, the mercenary union has covered the entire continent like a big net, and it is one of the few perverted existences on the continent except for the four great empires!

Tianci and Jack chatted until midnight before Jack returned to the tent to rest.Tianci declined Jack's invitation, and still sat beside the bonfire, spreading out his consciousness, and immediately understood any movement within 500 meters around him.The surrounding fire elements were particularly active, and they gathered towards the bonfire one after another. On a whim, Godsend controlled some of the fire elements to disperse.Like a naughty child, the fire element rubbed against the bonfire, reluctantly scattered, and the bonfire immediately became much smaller!

Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and the early birds sang crisply.

"Mom always told us that the early bird gets the worm, but if I were a worm, wouldn't I feed the bird if I woke up so early!" Tianci murmured, and stood up and stretched his waist!

"Morning!" Lili saw Tianci who was almost leaning back [-] degrees, and stepped forward to say hello!

"You too, are you up so early to feed the birds?" Tianci joked as he straightened up.

"Feed the birds? We didn't bring the birds out this time. Even in Ancona, the capital, there are special people to feed them. I don't need me!" Lili said strangely.

"Hehe, it's nothing, what are you doing up so early, no one else has woken up yet!"

Lili gave Tianci a white look, "I'll get up and prepare breakfast for Lord Barr. Hee hee! But I'd like to see what you had for breakfast this morning!"

"Roast fox!" Tianci answered immediately.Yu'er, who was still sleeping next to him, seemed to have a nightmare, shivering all over his body.

In the end, Jack took out the dry food and distributed it to Tianci, otherwise Tianci would really be hungry.Yu'er's treatment is better, Lili and Si Ni each share a part of the breakfast with Yu'er, Godsend is so envious!

After breakfast, the tents were put away and the bonfire was put out, and the caravan continued to move forward. According to Jack's estimation, it might take another month to reach the capital!
In the carriage, Tianci and the second girl were already familiar with each other, Yu'er refused to sit still, and ran around in and out of the car.

"Sister Lili, you guys are really working hard! You wake up early and go to bed late every day, and you still have to take care of your adults." Tianci sighed.After getting to know each other well, they even changed their names to Sister Lili and Little Benben.

"This is our job. Besides, Lord Barr is very kind to me. When I was young, he often hugged me and taught me to read and write. If I didn't have any talent, maybe Lord Barr would send me to the capital's empire. Where's the academy!" Lili's face was full of happiness.

"Are all servants like this?" Si Ni asked in a low voice.

"Well... That's not true. Maybe it's because I was brought into the house by Housekeeper Hong. Since I was a child, no one dared to bully me. Even the young master and young lady treated me well. Everyone envied me in private. Me! But the ones who treat me the best are Steward Hong and Lord Barr, especially Lord Barr. Sometimes I feel that Lord Barr treats me like... Haha! I can’t even say it!" Lili put her arms around her Si Ni imitated the god-given tone on her shoulders, "But don't worry, little Benben, you stay with me when you get home, and I won't let others bully you."

"I'm not called Little Benben..." Si Ni pursed her lips and muttered, but there was no way, it seemed that the name couldn't escape.

The caravan, which had traveled through the plains for about fourteen days, entered the mountains.According to Jack, this is the Beihu Mountain Range, which is the border gateway of the Northeast Province, and it will take about three days to walk there.Although it is called a mountain range, it is actually composed of more than 200 mountains lined up. Compared with the Yilin Mountains, it is simply a caterpillar seeing a giant dragon.There is a winding road connecting the two sides in the middle of the mountains. According to legend, this was originally a river flowing from the northeast province. Later, due to the perennial cut-off, the traffic between the two sides was greatly affected. Therefore, under the magical power of an earth magician, the river was diverted. OK, the river is filled to form a road.As the easiest road to enter the Northeast Province, the empire once sent troops to build this road, but over the years, the current road has become potholed.

Tianci was jolted back and forth in the carriage, almost knocking the food out of his stomach.Lili and Si Ni seemed very suitable and not at all abnormal. "It's a car ride here, obviously it's a punishment!" Tianci couldn't take it anymore, so he just got out of the car and ran.Fortunately, the caravan on the rugged mountain road was not walking fast, and Tianci was able to keep up with it without any effort.The heaven-sent food in the mountains has become abundant, pheasant feathers are already disdainful to catch, what kind of goats and wild boars, birds and beasts are not less caught, and they will never repeat the same every day.When stewing the mutton, Lili put in some radishes and cooked the mutton together, and also put a few mung beans in the pot to get rid of the fishy smell of the mutton immediately.Another time, Yu'er actually caught a three-level monster green snake more than one meter long, which caused a commotion among the mercenaries.Lili boiled the best part of the green snake into snake soup for Lord Barr and Captain Feite to enjoy, and the rest was boiled into a big pot of snake soup for the mercenary coachmen to enjoy. Godsend only got a small bowl of soup A small piece of snake meat.Snake meat is cold, Yu'er doesn't like to eat it.

The green snake has formed a magic core, which is of wood attribute.Because only elves who love peace and nature are proficient in wood attribute magic on the mainland, it is basically impossible for other races, especially humans, to master wood attribute magic cores, so the value of wood attribute magic cores is also the lowest. No other use.

After dinner, Si Ni sat alone by the camp and looked at the layers of mountains, and could not help singing softly
"In the morning I climbed the high mountain

Look at the soft light of the sun

Pieces of white clouds fly across the blue sky
Bringing health to the children of farmers

At dusk I stand on a high mountain
See the river turn into a mountain road

Like a dragon over the mountains

bring hope to the people of the north
This is a magical mountain road
Send the miracle of the world to northern Xinjiang

From then on, the mountains are no longer high and the road is no longer long

The sons and daughters of all parties gather in the north
This is a magical mountain road
Take us into the paradise of happiness

Life will be sweeter with convenient travel
The singing of happiness spreads everywhere. "

The clear and loud singing floated throughout the camp, echoing in the valley, and everyone was deeply attracted.

Holding the wooden magic core the size of a small fingernail, Tianci gently walked to Si Ni's side, "Your song is so beautiful!"

"This was taught to me when I was a kid by my mother who used to live in the foothills of the Northern Territory mountains! I sing this song every time I think of my mother!"

"Little Benben, this is for you! Keep it as a souvenir!" Tianci threw the magic core in his hand to Si Ni.

Si Ni saw the magic core for the first time, looked at the green crystal in her hand, and shed tears happily.

"Don't be so excited, little stupid. To tell you the truth, this magic core is the cheapest kind!" Seeing Si Ni crying, Tianci thought it was because of the value of the magic core, so he confessed immediately!
"No!" Si Ni quickly wiped away her tears with her hands, "This is the first time I have received a gift!!"

The plain and mountain roads on this road are relatively safe, and occasionally one or two bandits approached to harass them, but after seeing the flag and formation of the Hovering Mercenary Group, they retreated quickly.

"Everyone work harder, we will be out of this ghost mountain range soon, and we will be camping at the Blackwater Lake after half a day's walk ahead. We will enter the central province when we bypass the Blackwater Lake tomorrow!" Captain Fite shouted Shouting, the mercenaries immediately let out celebratory cries.

Heishui Lake really lives up to its name. From a distance, the lake is black and boundless, but when you get closer, you find that the lake is crystal clear.You can also see a group of small fish with long fingers chasing and playing.The surrounding area of ​​Heishui Lake is humid all year round, covered with mountain flowers and weeds, and a little farther away is a dense and boundless jungle.Tianci unfolded his consciousness, and the edge of the lake was relatively shallow for about 50 meters. After 50 meters, it was as deep as an abyss, at least 500 meters beyond Tianci's consciousness. "No wonder it looks dark from a distance, it turns out to be too deep!" language.

The mercenary group chose a slightly dry place as a base to set up camp. The coachmen gathered the convoy and unloaded the horses. It was a busy scene.

Yu'er perked up her ears, and looked at the distant forest warily.

"What's the matter, Yu'er, did you find something?" Seeing Yu'er's abnormality, Tianci also became alert.It is at least a thousand meters away from the woods here, and Godsend doesn't even need to release his spiritual consciousness.

"Whoosh!" An arrow sounded from the woods, piercing the ears.

"No, the first team has discovered the enemy's situation!" Captain Fei Te shouted, "The whole team is ready to fight!"

All the mercenaries immediately put down their work, drew out their weapons, and stood in front of them, surrounding the coachman Barr and others.The tense atmosphere spread rapidly.Si Ni subconsciously hugged Tianci's arm tightly.

Silence, deathly silence!

Go!There was a shout from the jungle in the distance, and three or four hundred people riding fast horses suddenly appeared in front of the woods, and ran towards the camp at high speed, with dust flying all the way, and within a few breaths, they rushed to a distance of ten meters from the mercenaries. Stopped, whistles, clamor suddenly, waving the broadsword and spear in his hand.

Facing this group of hideous desperadoes who were six or seven times larger than their own, many mercenaries began to sweat their palms, licked their lips with their tongues unconsciously, and swallowed with difficulty.

Spread out in the middle, and a man riding a black horse came to the front.Messy beard, fierce eyes, yellow teeth exposed, "You are that Feite, tell Baal to come out!" Drop by drop fell on the ground, and it goes without saying that the blood was the blood of the mercenaries who went into the woods to guard.

"I am Captain Feite of the Soaring Mercenary Corps, hired by Mr. Barr to protect the caravan. If you want to make an idea of ​​this caravan, I advise you to go back early!" Captain Feite replied coldly.

At this time Barr also pushed through the crowd and came to Captain Fett, "I am Barr, why did you come to me in such a large number? I still have some purple gold coins here to buy some wine for the brothers. I hope you can help me!" Speaking of which, Barr took out an exquisite cloth bag from his arms, and it was so heavy that there were at least a hundred purple gold coins!

It is an insult to the mercenary that the employer spends money to clear the way, Fate's expression changed, and he was about to say something!Barr privately grabbed the corner of Fate's clothes with his hand and pulled it hard, before Fate swallowed what he was about to say.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The man laughed wantonly, "It's just a few purple gold coins, I don't pay attention to Zada, the night cat of Beiling Peak!"

Barr and Feite's faces suddenly turned pale!Beiling Peak Night Cat Zada!
The first peak of the Beihu Mountain Range is called Beiling Peak, which is the highest peak in the entire range.And Zhada led a group of murderous bandits entrenched on Beiling Peak, harassing nearby villages and merchants all year round. The military department sent troops to encircle and suppress, but the entire Beihu Mountain Range is rugged and easy to hide. Before the army arrived, the bandits had already Hiding in the mountains, they continued to come out to harm one side as soon as the army left. Over time, they were called night cats.According to legend, Yemao Zada ​​has a fifth-level fighting spirit, and most of the thieves under his command have second- and third-level fighting spirits.

Captain Feite secretly calculated in his heart that he was also a level [-] primary fighting spirit, and the three captains under him also had level [-] fighting spirit, and most of the remaining members had two level and third level fighting spirit.Personally, I am not afraid of them, but if there are too many opponents, I am afraid that I will be the one who suffers in a real fight.

"Although I don't come out often as a night cat, I also heard that Mr. Barr received an eighth-level wind attribute magic core at a high price in Kiel Town. I am also very interested. Can Mr. Barr take a look!" Zada He said with a smirk, with a greedy look in his eyes.

Barr clenched his hands tightly, and a cold current rushed up his spine. Every year, he hired Feite's flying mercenaries to buy magic cores in Kiel Town. He didn't expect that there would be an eighth-level magic core this year. The mercenaries who sold them introduced that they were originally a large-scale mercenary group, and they entered the Yilin Mountains to hunt for magic cores, but unfortunately encountered a wounded eighth-level monster Gale Eagle. In order to defeat this Gale Eagle, all More than 200 people in the regiment suffered 1% casualties, and more than half of the senior mage warriors were also lost.Seeing the rare opportunity, Barr used almost all his property to successfully receive this eighth-level magic core from many merchants with 20 purple gold coins. It was even a sensation in Kiel Town at that time!The supply of high-level magic cores on the mainland is already in short supply. The major families, colleges and even the empire are scrambling to buy them. If they can be brought back to the capital, Ancona, for auction, they can at least double their profits.In order not to attract attention, Bart bought more than [-] trucks of cheap goods, and disguised himself as an ordinary businessman on the road.

Barr looked at Captain Feite for help, and after seeing Feite shook his head helplessly, he closed his eyes in pain.It is said that wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, but what happened to me is so unlucky!After a while, Barr slowly opened his eyes, feeling 20 years older. "Since Zada ​​likes this magic core so much, I am willing to dedicate it to you. I hope you can let us go there!"

Zhada didn't speak, but raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out his big hand.

Trembling, Barr took out a cloth bag from his heart, gritted his teeth and handed it to the mercenary next to him. The moment he left the bag, Barr's heart ached as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out by someone.The mercenary walked forward and handed the cloth bag to the other party.Zada took the cloth bag, opened it and poured it in his hands, a cyan magic core exuding strong wind elements, which was two circles larger than the magic core of the sixth-level mire python that Tianci had seen.

Feeling the strong wind element, Zada's eyes glowed with golden light, and he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Okay, it really is an eighth-level magic core, haha!"

Feite stared at Zada ​​resentfully, "You have already got the magic core, you can disperse it!"

"Scatter?" Zada ​​smirked, "Scatter, let you go back and notify the military?"

Feite and Barr's hearts sank, it's not good!

"Hmph! Kill me—not one left!!" Zhada ordered sinisterly.
