Chapter 59 (1/2)
Law of the Devil Chapter 59: The Fate of the Adventurers
The campsite of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was above standard You could see that they were used to living in the wild
The low level terrain effectively played the role of ‘windproofing’ them The stiff slopes at the sides played the role of protection If there was any accident, they only had to protect the gap in the uaranteed
Du Wei and Dadeneier followed Commander Beinlich and entered the careeted them looked at them weirdly
Du Wei estimated that there were almost hundred people in this campsite They looked different froarrison of the Empire he saw before They didn’t have a uniform of armor or weapons Their outfits were very personalized Soown, so leather armor
But, since they had to hide in the snow, most of them chose white as the color
Their weapons were even stranger They had swords,a mace
These people seemed very defensive and unruly without exception When Du Wei entered the site, there were so their weapons and looked at Du Wei and Dadeneier coldly
There was so a kid! Ha ha ha, is he the one you want to recruit as a newcomer? He seems like he still has hisat these words
Beinlich was angry and yelled, “Don’t bullshi+t! Do what you have to do! This is our VIP, behave well!”
It seeious After his words, everybody shut up although soician, these are rude men and don’t know about manners” Beinlich invited Du Wei to his tent, but Du Wei rejected politely Afterwards the commander had his men make some space for them to build a tent
After a while, the co two thick woolen blankets
“These people seeht the tent to them and looked back at Dadeneier with a smile
“It’s normal” Dadeneier said, “In this kind of team, a newcomer is always hard to be accepted by others They areto trust an old person who has experienced life and death together before; even in a norht, the mercenaries lit the fires in the campsite and they would sit around the fire and wait for their dinner
Dadeneier invited Du Wei to join their dinner in person, and squeezed near the fire together
The mercenaries treated them much better than before It seeician But still some people looked at Du Wei with suspicion…because Du Wei see
Not only the mercenaries, Dadeneier was also suspicious about Du Wei too
Sitting next to the fire, taking off the hat that covered one-third of Du Wei’s face, he looked even younger…Dadeneier could not stop suspecting ‘Is this little kid really a ician, with his age…he was probably a beginner or Level-one inner or a level one ician…it was pointless to recruit his and focused on doing their things They used soweird out of the tent Those were the dead bodies of the animals…Du Wei looked at those carefully but still could not distinguish if it was a cow or a sheep But Dadeneier could recognize it, he whispered, “ Ohcow…Oh, there is one Snoolf beast! God, these are the things you eat tonight?”
Dadeneier laughed and said, “No, we! We, including the two of us! We, will eat these for dinner”
“The corpse of a ic beast” Dadeneier laughed, “In s are the same as a normal beast…at least the taste is siic before they died After they die, they beco He saw the twothe corpse into pieces, and then putting the pieces into a big pan to cook
The leather of theic beasts out, he could not stop to whistle and he looked at Dadeneier, “Mr Coreat harvest”
Beinlich replied plainly, “Living is not easy We use our lives to fight You are right, the harvest this tiotten ic beasts, but at the same time, I lost 7 to 8 men Three died and three hed, “This h price in the south, and their h price”
Du Wei looked at those ht out a snoolf Du Wei recognized it Last tile City, he saw that in the illusion
But the one the mercenaries moved out were much smaller than the one in the illusion
The water in the pan was boiling with the tasty meat smell, and rance
The co some wine from his tent The mercenaries were very happy; they passed the few bottles around and everyone was able to have a sip In this freezing weather, it was enjoyable to have soet to treat Du Wei He got a silver bottle fros and said, “This is ician, do you want to try a bit?”
Du Wei had a sip, and then he choked!
“Cough! What is this wine…” Du Wei coughed terribly, and his voice was getting hoarse He felt like there was fire burning in his rab some snow and it into his mouth! He sed abetter
Bieinlich laughed and said, “Dear Magician, this…is a really good wine! I use therhino to make this wine! When you drink it, you will feel the fire in your throat! It’s so awesome! Especially under this weather, just have a sip, you will feel burnt throughout the whole body! You will be very warht!”
Du Wei squeezed his nose, “Thanks! But I cannot seehed and had a sip, then he seeasped, whilst at the saave the bottle to Dadeneier, “Friend, have some!”
Dadeneier hesitated a bit and then drank soer than Du Wei, after he had a sip, he acted the same as Beinlich, shake a bit with enjoy warm now! damn, it’s just like there is a fire in ic beast meat, the meat of the Snoas a little bit stiff, with a sour flavor Du Wei was not used to eating these things But in this freezing place, it was already a good thing to just have soician, he only ate some dried food
‘Hwhile that old man was in the windy place, it’s quite nice’
After Du Wei ate so, he was much more spiritual now He then tried to drink soot prepared, he feltthat Also, this as actually quite good After drinking this, it see over his body inside The cold had been expelled coician, you caic beast?” Dadeneier said, “Most of the icians come to this place because of this reason If so, ic beast you want”
The two looked at each other before giving a reply: “Mr Commander, have you heard of the Golden Eye Python?” Dadaneier questioned
Beinlich was shocked and said, “Golden Eye Python? That’s a strong creature I’ve seen so, but personally, we’ve never caught one… And…”
He hesitated before continuing, “This is only the outer layer of the Frozen Forest For such a high level o further in, to the inner part The strong ic beasts are only active in the inner part, you cannot find this thing in the outer part But if you go further to the inner part, it will be hed, “Please forgive my liberty This is my first tiician and I am not familiar with this place You said the inner part…We have been here for two days already… But we’re still within the outer layer?”
“Of course” Beinlich shook his head, “Frozen Forest is such a vast place… We can even say that no one really kno big the Frozen Forest really is I heard that twenty years ago, there was a great , who stayed in this forest for a month, and still could not arrive the other side of the forest No one knohat the other side of the forest looks like Perhaps, it may be the end of the world Also, we only have that record That tiician Party and a few Senior Holy Knights froether But people said that…only the ician could stay alive In the inner part of the Frozen Forest, people said that there were ician couldn’t handle the ic beasts The mercenaries, like us, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, are est travel was only nine days…and that happened a few years ago”
Du Wei was a bit shocked…
A hts traveled for a month but still could not reach the end?
This forest was so big?
Dadeneier felt troubled…if this was the truth, how could they find the Golden Eye Python?
“Let ive you some advice” Beinich looked serious, “We, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group have been hunting the icians ere going to find thatCircle Lake” That was the furthest they went, no one dared to go further The two of you…I know you are a ician But I really advise you, if not necessary, please give up your plan…”
Dadeneier felt bad, he thought a bit and suddenly said, “Mr Commander Thanks for your kindness But I really need to find the Golden Eye Python Hroup is doing the beast hunt business, if possible, I would like to hire you to help me to find…”
“Sorry, we can’t” Beinlich rejected i this kind of business, we understand that the higher the risk is, the more the profit we can have But if we know that ill die by doing so, then that is not risk, but lunacy Our Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is not strong enough to enter to the inner part of the forest So no h you pay, I ahed He knew that Beinlich was telling the truth, so he kept his silence and sipped soht for a while and said, “Mr Magician, I am very curious about you I’m under the i such a status as yourself at such a young ageOver the spans of 40 years in es, but none can hed a bit…
Genius that you never ician now Coenius…but if co for hiician qualification at 15 or 16! That was real genius! Du Wei even met two at once
Du Wei and Dadeneier both kept their silence as Beinlich pulled out a parchician, I may have a deal for you, but I need to know if you are interested”
Du Wei blinked, “What deal?”
“As I know, Magicians are very rich, so if I give you any jewelry, you won’t care about that…so…” Beinlich smiled, my men and I would head to the north for 4 to 5 days and ill go to the Big Circle Lake, then head back I a, if you and your co days, you can join us MyCircle Lake In this forest, it’s easy to get lost without a guide What do you think?”
Beinlich then spread out the paper roll, “This is the map of the Frozen Forest! You cannot find this map in any market! Even if you want to pay much money to buy it, you still cannot buy it! It is because this is made by me based on my 20-years’ experience with uarantee you cannot find another map as detailed as this one within the whole empire
