"You … The deal you're talking about is to exchange us for them?" The bandit's expression was weird, as if there were a few frogs stuffed in his mouth. This suggestion was too funny. He had never thought that this seemingly normal guy would actually make such a suggestion that only a lunatic would make.
"Yes, think about it. This deal is very worthwhile." Lin Li nodded his head very seriously, and the expression on his face was abnormally sincere.
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the people from the Rising Sun Mercenary Corp, even the guests who were chased out of their rooms looked at Lin Li with a weird gaze. No one had thought that this young man could actually say it so naturally. It was as if he was only asking if he could sell carrots for five copper coins per catty …
"Damn it, I've met a lunatic …" The bandit stared at Lin Li for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion. For a moment, he could not help but feel angry and amused. No matter what, he was an important figure in one of the three major mercenary corps in Alanna. He actually discussed seriously with a lunatic for a long time. It was really unlucky just thinking about it …
"Take him away." The bandit was really not interested in continuing to tangle with him. After giving his orders, he turned around and walked downstairs.
"You really don't want to think about it?" Lin Li did not give up, and asked the bandit's back.
"Think about your mother's big watermelon …" The bandit blurted out vulgarities. He was really driven crazy by this lunatic. The bandit felt that if he continued like this, he might become the same kind of person as Lin Li.
"Why …" Lin Li shook his head, and a trace of mana had already quietly rippled out.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps coming from outside the inn.
The moment the sound came, even Lin Li's expression changed.
The footsteps were heavy and heavy, and sounded uniform. Lin Li knew that this was definitely an elite combat force equipped with armor. Otherwise, it would not be possible to make such a sound.
The Felan Kingdom was not rich in minerals. Those who could be equipped with fine iron armor were mostly regular troops. No matter how rich a mercenary corps was, it was difficult to gather a pure armored warrior team. Hence, Lin Li was surprised. From the sound of the footsteps just now, it was at least a team of a hundred people. So many armored warriors, could it be that Alanna's imperial guards had come?
"Good evening, idiots of the Rising Sun!"
Just as Lin Li was feeling bewildered, a woman's voice came from the sky.
This voice sounded clear and melodious, but when it fell into the ears of the members of the Rising Sun Mercenary Corps, it immediately caused their expressions to change. It was as if the voice that came from the sky was not a greeting, but a magic spell that could take their lives.
The members of the Silver Hand all had strange looks on their faces, just like Rode just now. They all had an expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to.
"Serena, shut up!" When this greeting came from the sky, Rhode was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He screamed and jumped up. His calm expression instantly became distorted.
"Idiot, save your strength. No matter how much you stomp, you're going to die today!" After sentencing Rhode to death, Serena muttered to herself, "Really, if jumping around is useful, what's the point of having a killer …"
Rode was so angry that he almost went crazy …
Unfortunately, he could not do anything to Serena.
Everyone in Alanna knew that this damned woman was a Sky Knight with a level-15 Gryphon mount. She was most likely riding on that damned Gryphon now, hovering above everyone's heads in a condescending manner.
The more Rode thought about it, the more depressed he became. He was so angry that he was about to bleed.
It was not easy to seize an opportunity, but this damned woman did not bring the Gryphon out. Yet, she just had to meet two idiots and mess things up. Now, not only did she bring the Gryphon out, she also summoned the Silver Storm, the armored warrior team. The situation that was already in his grasp had turned around in an instant. Not only did he let this damned woman strut around above him, but he could also be crushed into pieces by the Silver Storm at any time …
The footsteps outside the inn became heavier and heavier. Hundreds of armored warriors arrived at the entrance of the inn in a moment.
Listening to the heavy footsteps, Rode really wanted to die.
That was the Silver Storm, the mercenary corps with the strongest combat power in the whole of Felan.
It was said that the members of the Silver Storm were all retired soldiers from the Sky Knights. The weakest among them had at least level-7 strength. Among them, the direct leader of the Silver Storm was said to have reached level-15 and above. The combat power of the Silver Storm was so strong that even the Felan Imperial Guards were not much weaker than them. It was said that when the Silver Hand was first established, it was these 100 Silver Storm members who killed a level-18 magical beast in the Nightmare Mountains that established their position as one of the three major mercenary corps in Alanna.
With such abnormal combat power of the Silver Storm, which mercenary corps in the whole of Felan would not be envious of them?
"Idiots of the Rising Sun, I'll give you two choices. One is to jump out of the window, or wait for someone to throw you down. Think about it carefully. You don't have much time!" Perhaps it was because the inn was too quiet, but the leader, who was hovering in the sky on the Gryphon, began to provoke Rode with words again.
"F * ck, this crazy woman. If I catch you, I'll sell you to a brothel!" Rode cursed fiercely.
"Captain Rode, what should we do?" The most elite mercenary corps of Felan was approaching. A few of the timid Rising Sun mercenaries were already panicking. They could bully unarmed merchants. If there were more of them, they could even bully low-level mercenaries like Hank. But if they were to face the Silver Storm, they did not even have the courage to resist …
"What are you panicking for!" Rode glared at them fiercely. It was these two fellows who could not accomplish anything but were good at spoiling things. Something that was clearly in the bag was spoiled by them. Now, they even dared to speak out of turn. Didn't he know that he was in big trouble?
If it was not for the imminent disaster, Rode really wanted to kick them one by one and let the Silver Hand vent their anger first …
Unfortunately, not only could Rode not kick them out, but he also had to comfort them. In this situation, one more person meant one more strength. Rode understood this very well.
"Don't panic. We have hostages in our hands. I don't believe that Serena would dare to use force. If she lets the Silver Storm charge in, we'll get rid of these few fellows first. Let's see how she can stand in the mercenary industry in the future!"
The idea that Rode came up with in a hurry was actually somewhat reasonable.
They had four or five Silver Hand members in their hands, and two of them seemed to have high positions. If Serena really dared to use force, they would at most destroy indiscriminately. Let's see how she could stand in the mercenary industry in the future.
This kind of thing was the most taboo.
The mercenary profession was originally precarious. No one knew when they would lose their life. Why did they join a mercenary group? It was nothing more than to live longer. If a mercenary group leader would even betray his own members, who would be willing to follow him?
But it was a pity that he forgot something …
There were not only a few Silver Hand members here, but also a fellow who looked like a lunatic …
Of course, he still did not know where this fellow came from.
But, Hank knew …
Hank had already seen how powerful this fellow was twice. The first time was at the Blackhills Town Inn, and the second time was at the Thousand Leaves Bar. Hence, he was not worried at all. He believed that as long as this young Magician was around, he would definitely be able to keep his life!
Hank's confidence in Lin Li was to the extent of blindness. Facing Rode who could take risks at any time, he still had the leisure to chat with Lin Li beside him …
"Mr Felic, why are you free to come to Blackhills Town?"
"I was planning to go to the Fire Plume Ridge, but I didn't expect to encounter this again …" Lin Li smiled helplessly. The two consecutive similar encounters in Blackhills Town had made him seriously doubt his own character.
"You're going to the Fire Plume Ridge?" Hank was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Are you going tomorrow?"
"Yes, why?"
"That's great! Mr Felic, our mercenary group is going to the Fire Plume Ridge too. Are you interested in going with us? " The last time in Blackhills Town, Hank had thought of pulling Lin Li into the Silver Hand. This time, this fellow still did not give up, and was beating around the bush to encourage Lin Li.
"This …" Lin Li hesitated for a moment.
Lin Li was very clear about what Hank was thinking. To be honest, he was really tempted by this proposal. In a place like the Fire Plume Ridge, once one went deep into it, there would be many dangers, and magical beasts above level-15 could appear at any time. If he could take shelter under the big tree of the Silver Hand, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient to move around.
But the problem was …
Taking shelter was one thing, but if he owed a favor, it would not be easy to return it.
Just as Lin Li was hesitating, Rode had already shouted at the roof, "Serena, don't forget that the people of the Silver Hand are still in my hands. Do you still want their lives?"
"Nonsense, how could the people of the Silver Hand be caught by a group of trash like you? Believe you? Do you think I'm an idiot like you … "
"Good! You wait, I'll prove it to you right away! " Seeing that Serena did not believe him, Rode could not help but be a little anxious. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Hank. "You, come over and say a few words to your leader."
"Don't be noisy, I'm busy …" Hank was busy poaching people; how could he have the mind to care about other things? Rhode was yelling, but he didn't even turn his head.
"F * ck …" Rode was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. It was fine that the woman riding the Gryphon swaggered over his head, but now even a low-level mercenary dared to not take him seriously. Was there any justice in this world?
Just as Rode was shaking with anger, Lin Li faintly noticed a trace of abnormality.
The footsteps were too far just now, so he did not pay much attention to it. But as time passed, Lin Li gradually realized that something was wrong …
