Han Jin and the others could see that the young magicians were exhausted after walking for so long, so they were not in a hurry to set off. Instead, they chatted with each other.
"Léger, can you still find the nest?" Morrisons asked in a low voice.
"It's just in this area. Let's take our time," Léger replied.
"Take our time? How long will that take? "
"It was half a year ago. I don't remember much about it. Besides, there are mountains after mountains in this forest, and they all look the same. What can I do?"
"I told you not to take this mission. It's too troublesome!" Morrisons said.
"But you didn't say anything!" Léger corrected him.
"I said it in my heart. Can't I?"
"You …" Léger was speechless. He finally understood how good Morrisons was at arguing.
Just then, a scream came from the upper reaches of the spring. The young magicians jumped up and rushed up along the two sides of the spring. However, they were not as fast as the genius magician. The former ran on the ground, while the latter flew in the air. In the blink of an eye, she had left everyone behind.
In comparison, Han Jin and the others were much slower. Morrisons lazily grabbed his greatsword. "Shall we go and take a look?"
Asa was the leader of the young magicians, but his experience was very shallow. He did not know how to play word games. The contract clearly stated that Léger's mission was to lead them to the nest of the Hydra and nothing else. In other words, even if all the young magicians died on the way, it had nothing to do with Léger.
When they looked at the contract, they could not help but sigh at how black-hearted Léger was. The terms were all beneficial to them! It was hard to understand. In the army, Léger acted like an impeccable gentleman. But after leaving the army, he became a completely different person. Which one was the real Léger?
"Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can help them," Sunier said.
"We can help a magus?" Morrisons chuckled. "What an honor … Hmm, I will remember this. If I have a child in the future, I will tell him that you are not an ordinary warrior. Back in the day, there was a magus who was in a desperate situation and begged …"
Han Jin and the others were too lazy to continue listening. They left Morrisons, who were immersed in their fantasies, and went upstream.
"Hey! Wait for me! "Morrisons woke up from his sweet dream and hurriedly followed behind.
In the upper reaches of the spring, seven or eight mercenaries were confronting the young magicians. The cause of the matter was very simple. The few female magicians originally just wanted to wash off the mud on their bodies, but no one knew who started it, but after a while, it turned into a bath. Just as they were happily bathing, a group of mercenaries appeared by the spring, and just like that, the situation got out of hand.
When a woman encountered such a situation, of course, she would be ashamed and angry. Those female magicians were crying and complaining about their grievances. Their robes were very messy, and each of them was barefoot. There were also many undergarments by the spring. Obviously, they had only put on their robes in a moment of desperation. They were definitely not wearing anything underneath. The male magi were very agitated. They held all kinds of magic staffs in their hands and cursed as if they were competing with each other. If the genius magus or Asa gave the signal, they would definitely attack.
The mercenaries opposite them were very quiet. However, they were exchanging messages with their eyes that outsiders could not understand. Three warriors stood in front, two magi behind them, and two archers on both sides. At the very back, there was a warrior holding a giant sword. That sword did not look much worse than Morrisons' sword.
Their positions were very reasonable, and their expressions were very calm. At first glance, one could tell that they were experienced mercenaries. The young magi were more or less unscrupulous. There was nothing they could do. Who asked them to have a backer? They were not even afraid of a tenth-level magical beast, so why would they be afraid of a few mercenaries?
"Everyone, you have been cursing for a long time. Shouldn't you listen to us? Can you still be reasonable? " The warrior standing at the very back said with a smile. It seemed that they had already made a decision.
The young magi were even more angry. They were clearly the ones who were at a disadvantage, and the other party was still talking about reason. What a bully!
"Shut up, all of you!" The warrior suddenly roared. "Don't be like a group of f * cking ducks, quarreling endlessly. Isn't it annoying? If you want to reason, come out one by one! "
"Reason?!" Asa snorted. "You insulted our companions. What reason do you have to talk about?"
"You are saying that you are very reasonable?" The warrior looked up and down at Asa. "Then let me ask you, do the Tarasha Mountains belong to you?"
"What?" Asa did not understand.
"Let me ask you, do the Tarasha Mountains belong to you?"
"Nonsense!"
"This forest of magical beasts belongs to you?"
This time, Asa did not even bother to speak.
"Since it does not belong to you, we are walking on a free land. What did we do wrong?"
"You … You insulted our companions!" Asa shouted angrily.
"What a joke!" The warrior said. "If I take off my pants and pee on the road, then I can accuse the pedestrians of insulting me?"
Han Jin in the distance suddenly laughed. "Morrisons, that guy is comparable to you."
"What do you mean?" Morrisons asked, puzzled.
"Raphael means that you are very similar to that guy," Sassoux said with a smile.
"Go away! I have never peeked at a woman bathing! "
"We are talking about eloquence." Sassoux rolled his eyes at Morrisons.
On the other side, Asa's face was red with anger. The warrior opposite him did not let Asa go. He continued to criticize him. "The spring water here belongs to everyone. You came here to take a bath and dirty the spring water. We did not say anything, but you …"
The young magicians could not help but start cursing again. The warrior's words were drowned in the scolding.
The genius sorceress slowly raised her hand. When the young magicians saw this, they couldn't help but stop cursing. The genius sorceress said in a cold voice, "It seems that you unrepentant and unreasonable beasts need to be severely punished."
"Punishment?" The warrior showed a contemptuous smile. Then his face suddenly changed. He shouted, "Do it!"
A few female magicians who were already in tears suddenly screamed. Two figures appeared beside them without anyone noticing. By the time they realized it, two daggers emitting cold light had already been placed on their necks.
The mercenaries on the other side moved at the same time. They slowly moved forward, trying to help their companions. The two thieves controlled the female magicians under their daggers and carefully retreated in different directions. They were probably guarding against a sudden attack so that they would not lose all the hostages at the same time.
Asa's expression changed, and so did the genius sorceress. The feeling of not being able to attack the rat for fear of breaking the vases was very depressing. Moreover, they were all sorcerers who had just come out to gain experience, and there was no cooperation between them at all. Even if they gnashed their teeth in anger, they could only watch helplessly.
After receiving his companions, the warrior immediately showed a cold smile. "Now, who is going to punish who?"
The noise from before had all disappeared. The magicians remained silent. Han Jin had been observing the genius magus. Seeing that she did not respond, he could not help but feel disappointed. In fact, he had overestimated the genius magus. Because of their different aptitudes, they would progress at different speeds in their pursuit. However, some things could not be compensated by aptitudes. For example, experience, vigilance, and so on. If Guevara and Zagunéd were here, they would have launched a fierce counterattack or even decided to sacrifice their companions. However, the genius magus would never be able to do that.
When the warrior saw that the magicians on the opposite side had become obedient, his heart was relieved. He knew that he had found a flaw. At this moment, he no longer concealed his gaze. He greedily stared at the magic staff in the hands of the genius magician and suddenly shouted: "Put down the magic staff in your hands on the ground! Immediately! "
The young magicians became restless. They all looked at Asa, waiting for him to make a decision. Asa hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to throw his magic staff on the ground. The other magicians followed suit and threw their magic staffs away.
"You!" The warrior pointed at the genius magus, but his eyes looked to the other side. He looked at Han Jin and the other two and said, "And you three, throw your weapons on the ground."
Sassoux looked at the magic staff in his hand and raised his head with a smile. He had no intention of obeying the order at all. Morrisons was even more ruthless. He shouted loudly, "Are you talking to grandpa?"
The warrior was stunned. He was also a smart person and immediately understood the relationship between the two. He said in a deep voice, "Brother, I know it has nothing to do with you, but don't make it difficult for me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! "
"Ha … How can you be rude?" Morrisons University laughed. "You want to bite me?!"
The soldier sneered and suddenly reached out to grab the hair of one of the hostages and pulled her over. The pitiful female magician screamed and struggled, but she was too weak to do anything. The soldier reached out again and grabbed the little finger of the hostage's right hand.
There was a faint crisp sound. The female magician's head jerked up. Her whole face was distorted. Even walking in the forest was tiring. A spoiled flower couldn't bear the pain of having her pinky broken. In just a moment, not only tears, but snot also flowed out. Her mouth was so wide open that a fist could be stuffed in it. One could clearly see that her tongue was trembling at a very fast frequency. Then, there was an inhuman howl.
"Remember, my patience is limited!" The warrior said coldly. "I will repeat for the last time. Put down your weapons!"
