After Redi finished speaking, no one interrupted him. Under the night sky, a cool breeze swept across the battlefield, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. The demonic leader of the Paper Cards and the dark bishop stood quietly in the wind, as if they were digesting the information contained in Redi's words.
Conrad raised his head and smiled faintly. He seemed to be praising the young man's cooperation, but he was always praising him, whether it was his death or his obedience.
"Twelve Silver-ranked guards." He repeated the white-haired young man's words, "What do you think?"
"Twelve?" The dark bishop raised his head slightly, "It seems possible. Even if it's a trap, it's a fact that the young man is not part of Makarov's main force."
"No, don't doubt it anymore. Being indecisive will only ruin things." Conrad waved his hand and interrupted him, turning back to the young man kneeling on the ground, "Are you a noble from the Kingdom of Unyielding Skies?"
Redi was stunned for a moment before he quickly nodded.
"Good, it seems like you are more valuable than those people." Conrad laughed like a demon, "We don't need worthless people, so they were dealt with. However, you are different. You have a strong will and know what you need. The Grey Wolves Mercenaries are done for, and a wise man submits to circumstances. Are you willing to work with us? "
The white-haired young man raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Conrad meant. Of course, he was also afraid that this demonic person would take a mile after taking an inch. Conrad had mentioned his identity before, and he was afraid that he would be implicated. However, Conrad's words were very clear. If he refused, he would end up like those useless fellows.
Redi couldn't help but feel conflicted once more. He had already betrayed his conscience once. At that moment, he was like a businessman who was losing money. He had invested more money in the hopes of recouping his losses, but now he realized that the money he had invested was going to be wasted. He subconsciously did not want such a thing to happen. Conrad had given him a final straw to clutch at, and he only hesitated for a moment before he clenched his teeth and grabbed it.
Even if he was going to die, it would be a matter for the future.
The young mercenary leader smiled. "Alright, I'll lend you a person — no, a team of people. Now, lead them to chase after those 15 fellows. You don't have to kill them. Of course, if you can really do it – I will give you my position as Guild Leader. "Conrad leaned down and patted Chen Xiaolian's face." Don't worry, I will not lie to you. After all, I have to go to other places after completing this mission. "
However, Reidy didn't hear him clearly. When the white-haired young man heard that he was only going to hunt down Brando, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Originally, he was already prepared to cut his wrist, but of course, it would be best if he didn't have to. At this moment, he couldn't help but rejoice, rejoicing that he had made the right choice.
Not to mention the tempting conditions.
Although the Paper Cards Mercenaries were not as famous as the Grey Wolves Mercenaries, they were still one of the top mercenary groups in the Southern Region. Redi couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about the possibility of becoming a commander.
But when he raised his head, he was startled. This was because he saw the man dressed in black priest robes move to the side, revealing a figure shrouded in a long black cloak and shrouded in black mist. Redi was stunned for a moment, but he still recognized the person from the cloak's weapon. "Scarlet …"
"Oh, so she's called Scarlet?" The dark priest laughed sinisterly. "Then let's call her that for now. I don't have any talent for naming anyway. Once you complete this mission, she will be yours. "
The white-haired young man's Adam's apple bobbed, and his hands subconsciously tightened. He liked the red-haired girl, and that was a fact that everyone in the mercenary group knew. However, Scarlet only had feelings for Eke, and the others were just like siblings. Redi knew this, but he still had some extravagant hopes. He hoped that after Eke and Yura's wedding, he would have a chance.
But he knew that the chances of that happening were slim.
He took a deep breath. Although the current Scarlet looked a little different from the girl in the past, it didn't matter. He suddenly remembered Conrad's words. The Grey Wolves Mercenaries were done for, but he knew that Yura was still alive. In fact, very few people knew that he liked Scarlet, and he was also spying on the blind girl. But that was a non-existent hypothesis, so he kept his ambitions to himself.
However, at this moment, the beast hidden in his heart seemed to be stirring.
… …
Conrad saw Redi's expression and smiled faintly. He turned around and threw the dagger to the dark priest. It was a dagger used for sacrifices, and it couldn't be used to kill people. As a member of the Tree Shepherds, he was well aware of this. The ritual was a sacred activity and part of the plan to welcome the Dark Dragon's return.
The Dark Bishop glanced at the red-haired girl and quickly caught up with her. He bowed his head respectfully and praised in a gloomy voice, "You really are a master at playing with people's hearts."
In fact, only he knew that this demon-like youth did not ask the mercenaries any questions from the start. Everything was a show for Redi to see. From the start, Conrad knew that the youth was weak.
"Human nature is weak. It is the nature of animals to seek benefits and avoid harm. I've never toyed with anyone, I just give them more choices — "The leader of the Paper Cards replied," You know, compared to those who talk about honor and justice, I have a weakness, and that is that I never lie. "
The dark priest laughed softly, "But humans are cunning. They won't show their weak side."
"That's why interrogations are an art." Conrad smiled, "Actually, I was interested in his identity. I planted a chess piece in the Kingdom of Steady Skies. Who knows when it will come in handy. But why did you agree to lend him your new pet? "
"That girl's will hasn't disappeared yet. Let her see how bad her former companions can be. Only by seeing the dark side of human nature can she accept the information provided by the Blood of God, "the dark priest replied.
"Good plan."
"What do you think, leader?"
"Let's make some preparations and head to Hewjil's place first. They actually headed northeast. They knew that the northeast was the lizardmen's territory, so they thought in reverse and went in the opposite direction. If not for the fact that he can control people's hearts, he would have fooled me as well. "
"To be honest," the dark priest shook his head, "I don't like dealing with that stinky lizardman."
"I don't like it either."
Conrad took off his blood-stained gloves and replied.
… …
The stars from the night before seemed to indicate the clear skies. Apart from the people involved, no one else knew about the cruel massacre in the forest. The only trace left behind was the faint black smoke behind Brando's group. The scorching sun was still shining on the forest in this area. After absorbing enough sunlight, the layers of treetops showed a breathtaking emerald green color — the green of life.
Although this was a non-existent possibility, the mercenaries who had experienced the massacre last night could not help but suspect that the trees were so lush after absorbing the nutrients from the fresh blood. They whispered to each other, but their low voices did not escape the young man's sharp senses.
"Feudal superstitions are really scary."
Brando muttered as he looked at the black card in his hand. It was obviously made of silver, but it had a strange ink-black color. Medissa's smile was so warm, but it was a stark contrast. This was his only black card, but where would he find a card that could provide him with the dark element?
If he could summon that girl as soon as possible, he would be able to do whatever he wanted for a long time. But as of now, this was still a matter that had no clue.
He looked at the card in a daze and suddenly stopped what he was doing. Once again, he was sure that the throbbing in his heart last night was the card's resonance. According to the rules of the Planeswalker, this meant that there was another card from the same set of cards in his hand in this area, and there was a bridge between the cards. If he was not a Planeswalker last night, then the reaction would not be a 'card resonance', but a 'magic resonance reaction' like the last time in the Golden Tree Canyon.
But after he searched through all his cards, he found that the card that resonated with him was actually this card of fate? — The unicorn Knight that represented 'Metisha'. The 'Eversong' card set was created for him, but even Brando did not expect that a new rule would be added to the set in such a short time.
It could be a new card of fate, or it could be an existence that resonated with 'Metisha's' attributes. Whether it was an equipment, a creature, or a barrier, it meant that this thing had the potential to be sealed into the set. But it could not be a land card, because Brando already knew that except for a few special cases, land cards would not resonate with any other cards.
This resonance had happened six times since last night, and each time was closer than the last. The last time was more than an hour ago, and it was almost to their left. This discovery made Brando a little confused. Could it really be some kind of creature? Or could it be that someone was moving with that card?
He looked up at the sun. After a night of trekking, it was already close to noon. After Iron rank and above, or Constitution had reached 3 Energy Ranks, one or two nights of not sleeping would not have any effect. It was just that Roman and Amandina were a little more strained. Brando withdrew his gaze and looked at the situation of the two ladies. Fortunately, the Wild Elves were taking care of them, and they could barely keep up with the group.
There was not much time. Because of the delay at the Altar of Order, they had to seize every minute and every second. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com, support the author, support the original reading!)
