The 58th chapter "Snow Wolf Mercenary Group"
Looking at the little magician using a bottle to collect the venom from the carrion monster, Dadaneier and the other three Lister family members couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Such a disgusting thing, but this little magician collected a bottle full of it like it was a treasure. He even carefully put it away …
Looking at the pile of disgusting rotten meat, everyone couldn't help but sigh: This magician really wasn't someone ordinary people could be.
The seriously injured Scimitar Warrior and the guy who vomited blood would take Du Wei's sleigh and leave the forest. Du Wei gave the four Snow Hounds to them to pull the sleigh … Anyway, these things belonged to the Old Magician, so Du Wei was very generous. Moreover, the road later would be more and more difficult to walk, so they probably wouldn't need a sleigh.
But before the two wounded left, Duwei hesitated for a moment. After all, these two people were injured. If they encountered any beasts on the way back, they wouldn't have the ability to protect themselves.
Du-Wei thought for a moment, then he collected the dragon excrement powder that the old magician scattered on the ground last night. Using parchment paper, he wrapped two packets of the powder, and the rest, regardless of the strange look in the eyes of the two wounded men, he sprinkled them all over their clothes.
"This way, you won't have to worry about magic beasts attacking you on the way back." Du Wei's tone was very relaxed: "You have injuries on your body, and the smell of blood, I am worried that you will attract magic beasts."
"What is this?" Dadaneier looked at the green powder. His expression was the same as when Du Wei asked about the Old Magician last night.
"This …" Du Wei had a mischievous smile: "This is excrement, dragon excrement."
"Oh …" The three people suddenly felt relieved. Except for a surprised expression on their faces, they didn't look uncomfortable, let alone disgusted or disgusted.
The Scimitar Warrior was even very happy: "Good idea! Haha, when we were in the Northwest, we would also sprinkle lion's urine on the tent in the wild to prevent wild wolves on the grassland. Haha … but, dragon excrement, a magician is indeed a magician! How could a magician get his hands on such a precious thing … Haha. "
This guy seemed to think that he didn't have enough dragon excrement on his body, and wished that Du Wei could throw a few more handfuls on him.
After sending away the two wounded, Du Wei tidied up the remaining things. The Old Magician had mysteriously left, leaving behind quite a few magic potions and even a small piece of magic crystal. Du Wei studied it and determined that it was probably a material used to set up a magic array. Du Wei accepted them all with a smile and put them all away.
Dadaneier brought Du Wei back to their previous camp. After the Rotten Undead attacked the camp, only a mess was left.
Dadaneier picked up two quivers of arrows and carried them on his back. He also picked up two knives from his two dead companions. Then Dardanelle dug a hole and buried his companion.
When they came out, there were a total of eight people, but now there were only three left.
There was also a sled here, but the dogs that pulled it had all run away during the attack last night. One of the dogs had been bitten in half by a Carrion Monster during the attack last night. After midnight, the rest of the dog's body had already been frozen into ice.
The tent was in a mess, and Du Wei didn't avoid suspicion. He and Dadaneier searched for something that could be used. Finally, Du Wei set his eyes on the sled.
The sled was already broken, probably because the Rotten Undead stepped on it last night.
Under Dadaneier's doubtful gaze, Du Wei pulled out his knife and pried a few planks from the sled's seat. Then, he cut a rope from the tent and tied two rectangular planks to the soles of his boots.
"What is this for?" Dadaneier asked doubtfully.
"It's for walking in the snow. You can try it, it's very useful." Du Wei smiled.
Dadaneier was very respectful of this little magician. Although he didn't understand, he learned from Du Wei and tied the planks to the soles of his boots.
Later, on the road, he began to admire this little magician.
The deeper they went into the forest, the thicker the snow was! Often, when they stepped on it, the snow would reach up to their knees! With the planks under their feet, the wide planks had a large surface area, so when they walked, their feet wouldn't sink too deep into the snow.
Moreover, Du Wei even taught Dadaneier how to use the planks under his feet to slide in the snow!
Skiing was one of Du Wei's favorite sports in his previous life.
With this simple and crude "skis", the two of them were much more relaxed on the road.
"Oh right, Dadaneier, last night, a total of five of you ran away. I saw the first guy run away by himself … Is that person also from the Lister Family?" On the road, Du Wei casually asked.
"Hmph, the Lister Family doesn't have that kind of trash who is afraid of death." Dadaneier said disdainfully, "That guy is a fur merchant in a town in the south of the forest. We gave him a sum of money to be our guide, but that idiot took us around the forest for three days and didn't even find a fart. After we go back, I will skin him alive! "
After a pause, Dadaneier whispered, "We are different from other adventurers. We are from the Lister Family, so we can't force our way through the border patrol. We can't cause trouble for the Lister Family. So, we relied on that guy's relationship to bribe the patrol officers to let us enter the forest. But now it seems that guy took the money we bribed the officers. "
The two of them walked from sunrise to noon. They walked in the snow for the whole morning. Although they had the skis made by Du Wei, under the test of the cold wind and the cold weather, as well as the difficulty of walking in the snow … All of this was a severe test of their physical strength and perseverance!
Dadaneier was a warrior, so his body was naturally stronger than Du Wei's. But he was injured last night. Although the wound was healed by the magic potion, the blood lost couldn't be replenished by magic, so his body was inevitably weaker.
Du Wei was also very tired. His body was a lot better after the Old Magician's strange body strengthening exercises, but after all, how strong could a thirteen year old boy's body be? If he didn't have the skis, Du Wei wouldn't have been able to hold on.
If only he could learn the Wind Element's Flight Spell. Du Wei secretly muttered, but looking at the cold wind here, Du Wei sighed …
Even if he could learn the Flight Spell, with his own magic power, flying in this degree of cold wind, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to fly far before his magic power was exhausted.
The two of them were still walking north, deep into the forest. Dadaneier obviously knew more about survival in the wild than Du Wei. In the conversation, Du Wei learned that Dadaneier was a mercenary when he was young, but he didn't come to the Frozen Forest. When he was young, he was a bodyguard for the fur smugglers in the Northwest Prairie.
He was used to this kind of life in the wild.
Marquise Lister's title wasn't hereditary, so this kind of noble didn't have their own territory and private army. It was also impossible to recruit a large number of private warriors and armed forces like other nobles.
So, this time, the people who were sent into the forest were the Marquise's guards. This Dadaneier was the vice captain, and the captain had died in the attack last night in order to cover the escape of his companions.
"We didn't bring too many people because in such a dangerous place, those ordinary people would only be sending themselves to their deaths. Moreover, they would become a burden." Dadaneier's nose was red from the cold, so he stopped to rest for a while. In fact, he wasn't tired, but he was considerate of the young magician.
In the communication on the road, Du Wei felt that this Dadaneier was a good person, very enthusiastic, and very respectful to himself. After coming to this world, Du Wei, who didn't have many friends, quickly had a good impression of this enthusiastic warrior.
Dadaneier grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, waiting for the heat in his mouth to melt the snow into water before swallowing it little by little.
After quenching his thirst, Dadaneier looked at the sun above his head, "Mr. Magician …"
"Call me by my name." Du Wei laughed, "No need to use honorifics, Dadaneier. There are only two of us here, and now we are companions. Also, I'm not old. "
"Okay, Harry." Dadaneier laughed heartily, "I think it's already past noon. In this extreme north, the sky gets dark very early. We'd better hurry up and find a place to camp before it gets dark. By the way … do you still have the dragon's excrement? "
"I still have a lot." Du Wei laughed.
"That's good." Dadaneier's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, and whispered, "Unfortunately, if I met you one day earlier, with the dragon's excrement in your hands, we wouldn't have been attacked by the magic beasts in the middle of the night, and the captain wouldn't have died."
"The dead can't come back to life. My dear Dadaneier. " Du Wei comforted him, "The dead are gone, and the living have to inherit their legacy. As long as we can successfully find the Golden Eye Python, then the dead won't have sacrificed in vain."
Dadaneier's spirit was lifted, and he said seriously, "That's right! Harry, what you said is really reasonable … Magicians are all knowledgeable people, right? Tell me about you. You're so young, but you're already a magician. It's really admirable! Tell me about your situation. You must be from a good family, right? Only rich people have the opportunity to come in contact with magicians and learn magic. "
Du Wei couldn't help but be speechless.
He began to regret hiding his identity from this straightforward man. Facing this guy's smile, Du Wei was a little embarrassed, so he casually said a few words and skipped the topic about himself.
•
In the evening, the sun was about to set. The two of them finally found a place with a slightly lower terrain. This kind of place could shelter them from the wind.
However, when the two of them went around the forest, they found that this place had already been occupied!
"Alert!!"
Suddenly, there was a whistle from the forest, and immediately, two people in white jumped down from the trees. Du Wei looked carefully, these two people were wearing white leather clothes. Then, behind the forest, there were more than ten fully armed people! Some of these people were wearing leather jackets, some were wearing leather armor, and the weapons in their hands were different. Some were holding swords, some were holding knives, and some were holding short axes.
The few people behind them were holding bows and arrows, and the arrows were aimed at Du Wei and Dadaneier.
Seeing that it was two humans and not magical beasts, these vigilant people were relieved.
"Well, it's two people. It seems that we've met our peers. " A person who looked like the leader came over and smiled, "Oh, it's rare to see two people who dare to go so far into the frozen forest!"
Dadaneier's hand was on the hilt of his knife, and he looked at these people with vigilance. Du Wei had a smile on his face and said loudly, "Who is the leader here?"
"It's me." The person who looked like the leader looked at Du Wei, and there was a trace of contempt on his face, "Oh, it's a kid … Ah, I know, you're looking for a place to camp, right? I'm sorry, this place has been occupied by us. If you don't mind, we can allow you to camp in the forest next to our camp. Just be careful and don't break into our security circle. "
"No, no, no …" Du Wei shook his head, "Camping in the forest, we don't want to be the magical beast's dinner! Let us in, can we join your camp? There are only two of us, and we won't take up a lot of space … Moreover, you're a mercenary group that is here to hunt magical beasts, right? Maybe we can help each other. "
These people looked at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time. The person who looked like the leader looked at Du Wei, and he was even more disdainful, "Kid, how can you help us? Are you going to get up in the middle of the night to pour a pot of urine for us? Haha … Let's go! Seeing that we're all peers who came to the frozen forest for adventure, I won't make it difficult for you. As long as you don't cause any trouble. "
Du Wei took a step forward, "No, I insist on my request."
The leader's face sank a little, "Oh, you want to cause trouble? Kid … "
Dadaneier gently pulled Du Wei and whispered, "I know these people's badges, they are from the 'Snow Wolf Mercenary Group'. These guys have a lot of people, we'd better not cause any trouble. "Dadaneier looked at the badge on the leader's chest and whispered," Let's change to another place. "
When Dadaneier was young, he had the experience of adventuring, so he knew a lot about the famous mercenary groups on the continent. He also knew that these guys were not to be trifled with … They were all outlaws!
Even in adventuring activities, there would be fights between each other, and it was common to see such things!
Fortunately, Du Wei and Dadaneier didn't bring anything with them. Looking at the two of them walking lightly, these guys didn't take them seriously.
If Duwei and Dadaneier were to bring a lot of rewards … Perhaps these guys would have evil intentions when they saw the benefits!
It wasn't a smart move to have a conflict with these guys. Although this little magician had some skills, the dozen of people in front of them were obviously just the outer guards. There were more than a dozen people on guard, and their camp had at least a hundred people.
With only two people on their side, it was better not to cause any trouble.
"Hey, Dadaneier, listen to me." Duwei wanted to see the world in chaos, and he was sure that the old magician was still around him, but he didn't know where … …
Du Wei deliberately made a proud expression and looked at the guy in front of him. This guy was wearing leather armor, and the weapon in his hand looked quite extraordinary, but he should be a small character, "Oh, you're from the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, right? As for you, you should be just a small captain. Can you represent the will of your mercenary group? "
Du Wei was right, this guy was just a small captain in charge of the surrounding security. He frowned and said, "Kid, what do you want to do? If you want to suffer a little, I don't mind moving around a little. "
As he said this, he raised the long sword in his hand, and with a strange smile on his face, he walked towards Du Wei in big strides.
However, he only took a few steps and immediately froze!
Du Wei was still standing there with a smile on his face, but he had already raised his right hand with his palm facing up, and there was a burning fireball in his hand!
The people in the mercenary group were all people who had traveled extensively and knew what was good for them! Seeing this kid with a smile on his face, and a fireball in his palm!
"Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, is this how you treat a magician?" Du Wei smiled with disdain, "Well, then I will remember."
Du Wei finished and pulled Dadaneier, "Let's go, my friend. It seems that these people are strong enough to not need a magician. In this damn place, they don't even understand the basic principle of helping each other. "
Magician! This kid was a magician!
Including the captain, everyone was stunned. They no longer looked at Du Wei with disdain in their eyes, but with a trace of respect!
"All of you, back off! A bunch of idiots! "A scolding sound came from the forest, and then a tall man walked out in big strides.
This person was wearing a rhinoceros leather armor. In this cold and snowy place, he was bare-chested, revealing his muscles. He also had a snow-white cloak behind him, and a yellow beard on his face. He looked very mighty. He didn't have a weapon in his hand, but when he walked out, the people on guard all backed off, "Captain!"
The captain immediately took a few steps forward, but the captain only glared at him, "You have embarrassed us, my brother. Back off."
After that, the captain ignored his men and walked in front of Du Wei. With a smile on his face, he said loudly, "Mr. Magician, my men are a little rude! I apologize for their rudeness! "
Du Wei smiled, "You are?"
"This is the leader of our Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, Captain Beinrich!" A mercenary next to him answered loudly. His voice was loud and had a sense of pride.
Dadaneier's eyes flashed and he whispered, "This guy has a nickname, 'Son of the Storm'. He is an outstanding figure in the mercenary circle in the north of the continent. He is known as one of the top three mercenaries in the north. I have heard of his name before. "
Beinrich laughed and said, "Son of the Storm, it is just a nickname given by others. Alright, I have finished my self-introduction. Mr. Magician, can you tell me your name? "
"Harry Potter." Du Wei smiled and replied, "I am not wearing a mage robe, and I am not wearing a badge, but this is the custom in this damn place. I believe you can understand." Looking at the captain's eyes, Du Wei slowly said, "My partner and I do not have any bad intentions. We have our own things to do in the frozen forest. I believe that in this damn place, if your mercenary group can have a magician to join … even if it is only for a few days, it will be good for both sides, right? "
"The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will always welcome a magician at any time!" Beinrich laughed, "I am just worried. Every time I come to this expensive place, those annoying Magic Beasts are very troublesome. If we can have the help of a magician, then our business will be much better!"
After that, Beinrich looked at Du Wei and waited for Du Wei's answer.
"I am happy to provide some help." Du Wei's answer made Beinrich happy, "Mr. Captain, as you can see, my partner and I are only two people. In this damn place, having more partners is always a good thing, right?"
"Please, Mr. Magician. Our campsite is just in front. I have two bottles of good wine in my tent!" Beinrich laughed and led the way in front with enthusiasm.
Dadaneier frowned, but Du Wei pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "Dadaneier, stop talking! This is the first time you and I have come to the frozen forest! Both of us are not familiar with this place! But these guys, they are all old foxes who come here often! They are familiar with the terrain and the environment! At least it's better than the two of us blindly searching in the vast forest! "
