A Unique Hunter

Cook was shocked that his team actually took on the wasteland reclamation task of his own Chamber of Commerce. As time is not waiting for anyone, Cook and others had to set off for the Montau Empire after more than a month after the New Year.

The journey on the road basically takes two months. Of course, this is based on the abilities of the mercenaries. They have familiars or mounts, or less. But unfortunately, because the team of Cook departed late , The entire Magic City could not find a common mount, so Cook and others had to take a long-distance carriage to go there.

"I said Captain, we spent so much money, why didn't we know how to buy a mount? Look at the current speed. I think it would be dangerous to reach the Monto Empire in three months!" This is the third time Giro said Tyson. Up.

Tyson still said that; "Forget it, sorry!"

Due to the fact that there are too many people going to the Monto Empire, the cost of long-distance carriages has skyrocketed five times, and because there are too many people passing by on the road, traffic accidents occur frequently, and the prices of daily necessities are constantly rising.

Moreover, the security along the road is particularly terrible. Although there are constant patrolling security teams, these security teams are helpless in the face of a huge flow of people. The mercenaries themselves are a complex combination. These mercenaries are no matter whether you are a domestic chicken or Pheasants, domestic rabbits, or hares, even if they get food, the residents along the road always lose something somehow.

Occasionally, people can be seen hanging by the side of the road. This is the consequence of being caught by the security team. It is impossible for a large team to be imprisoned, so as long as there is a crime, there is nothing to hang.

In this way, the mercenary union also dispatched its own law enforcement team, but on the more than 17,000 kilometers of roads, more than a thousand law enforcement teams are just like peppering.

However, over time, Cook and others had to get out of the carriage and walk, because in the southernmost part of the Satya Empire, this is not the cold winter like the Magic City, but the sunny summer. Because the road is not very good, and it is raining, most people have to go on foot.

After entering the Monto Empire, the prices of daily necessities were higher, and he had to face the harassment of mosquitoes, flies and some poisons. Cook didn’t care. He felt the cool rain falling from his forehead, and Cook felt it was raining. Well, the rain is not so sultry and there is no mosquitoes.

The Monto Empire has already begun vigorously building and expanding roads. The Monto Empire can be said to have suddenly become a hot spot on the mainland. The price of land that was originally worthless is now soaring, and Gerry is the first to come. The merchants here have obtained a lot of land by some means.

If it were in the Satya Empire, it was impossible. The main reason was that the Montau Empire was extremely remote. So Gerry hired a down-and-out noble, and through this noble, the Montau Empire had a large area in the south. Acquired the territory, and privately the nobleman sold these lands to Gerry. Of course Gerry also spent a lot of money to get through the high-level figures of the Monto Empire, and then the royal family, so Gerry got it easily After taking out a 500-kilometer radius of land, Gerry was also magnificent. He directly took out a magic airship to the emperor of the empire. The emperor was so happy that he directly sealed the area, and Gerry first bought only a ten-kilometer radius. land. And Gerry also mixed up with the noble title of a hereditary earl.

But Gerry himself mainly wants to build a port. Growing sugar beets is not his main business, but since the emperors have all given rewards, Gerry can’t be wrong. Gerry himself is still planning to develop slowly, but the presidents of several major trade unions are in Ku After K’s family met, the emperor of the Monto Empire suddenly discovered that his empire had a lot of money-bearing guys who were buying land. The emperor was not an idiot. He only found out who came by asking someone in private. Far from seeing so much on the surface, the emperor issued a series of laws on land urgently.

These laws were also approved by all the nobles of the Monto Empire. After all, the land of the Monto Empire belonged to the nobles of the Monto Empire. What is the matter with the outsiders, but soon the Monto Empire discovered the people who came from a great background. .

However, the Monto Empire has been poor for too long, and the local aristocrats are not afraid of it. They unite to allow these outsiders to make some profit exchanges. Of course, these don't care about Gerry.

But Gerry couldn’t care if he didn’t, so he only had to spend money to hire mercenaries. There was only one purpose. First, enclose the territory. Otherwise, as more and more people intervened, it would be a matter of time before the surrounding land was purchased. .

It’s a pity that Gerry didn’t know that Cook was also in the mercenary. After two months of trekking, Cook’s team finally reached the destination of the mission. To be honest, this journey did get everyone. A lot of exercise, because of long-term walking in the muddy field, so the team members have lost a lot.

However, Ras in Cook’s team has broken through to become a great swordsman, and his combat effectiveness is the first person to be stable. When Giro saw the house where the mercenaries were placed, he was shocked, because the houses were all used It was built of huge logs, and it looked like a stilted building, and it looked like the pillars were just tree trunks, seven or eight meters above the ground. They were all houses built with huge logs, and there were hundreds around them. The mercenaries and a large number of slaves are constantly reclaiming the land, some slaves are placed in trees and then the branches are left, and the rest are placed on the ground to dry for a few days, and then burned down. The land is fertile. .

"Tsk tsk, how much does it cost!" Tyson looked like he had some experience in farming, and he exclaimed after watching a round.

"Spend money, this place must cost money." Giro replied unclearly.

"I didn't mean that. Look at the ditches between these lands, as well as the flat land. You need to know that the price of digging a canal is the same as the price of ten acres of land, but there are also benefits. Good place." Tyson said, pointing to a channel more than two meters wide and nearly two meters deep. There are wooden stakes on both sides of the channel.

"Everyone, everybody, welcome everyone here, I am the manager of Hasen, responsible for this residence!" At this moment, a person who looked like a manager came out to greet Cook and the others.

"Manager Hasson, hello!" Tyson hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"Okay, I won’t say too much. Keep everything simple. We need a lot of manpower here. Your employment price is two hundred gold coins a year. We pack food and accommodation, but we are mainly responsible for the staple food. , The rest of you need to find your own way. We will give each person a subsidy of 80 gold coins per year. But then again, there is simply too much food in this place. You need to train here for half a month, and then you will be Sending to other places to perform tasks, this is Captain Johnny Guard, and you will follow his command in the future." Director Hasen left after speaking, and it seemed that he was really busy.

Johnny looked at Cook and the others and said, "Everyone, come with me, this is terrible!"

Tyson and the others didn’t speak, and they just followed with them. Johnny walked along and said, “Everyone, here, your biggest enemy is not the fierce beasts, but the ubiquitous poisonous things. , There are also highly poisonous insects. A dozen slaves have died in our settlement. There are a dozen-meter-long python in this jungle. One bite is enough to swallow an elephant. This is all visible, killer bees, vampire bats ...."

As Cook walked and listened, a group of people gradually entered the house. Around the house, a fence made up of seven or eight meters high logs was erected. The fence is two meters thick. Not only is there deep buried logs on both sides of the fence, but the middle is also rammed. The soil, plus the wooden stakes, can be said to be very strong, and some guards are constantly walking back and forth on the wall. There are more than ten watchtowers. Cook's eyes can easily see the giant crossbow on the watchtower. , There is even more dried blood on the wall.

"Did you see, this is where you will live in the future, but your task is to ensure the safety of those slaves." Johnny walked up the wall with Cook and others, and then pointed to the slaves who worked hard in the distance.

After being arranged to live in, Johnny asked Cook and others to rest for a day, and then took Cook and others into the jungle for training the next day, introducing some highly poisonous plants, highly poisonous animals, and some dangers one by one. The swamp, the cannibal vines and other things made Giro and others who were originally in a relaxed mood also be cautious.

The half-month training period passed quickly. As time went by, several mercenary teams came to live in, and people around were constantly being attacked.

"Damn it, why did we assign this task?" Giro walked behind Cook, and while looking around vigilantly, he cursed angrily.

"Stop talking, Giro!" Tyson walked in the front, holding a huge single-edged sword to chop the thorns and vines that were blocking the way, and said angrily.

Lars said indifferently: "This is already pretty good, isn't it just over fifty kilometers of road!"

"Fifty kilometers, let's walk the fifty kilometers here!" Giro jumped immediately.

"Shoo!" The arrows in Lila's hand made a scream, then Lila plunged into the jungle, and then brought back a half-large lynx.

"Haha, this thing still wants to hide in secret!" Lila laughed.

Latif curled his lips and said, "I said lira, you can't get some big things, besides, this thing is more fishy!"

"It's fishy, ​​Latif, you guys are ashamed, you didn't eat the most that time." Giro said angrily.

"That's not Hill's good craftsmanship." Latif replied indifferently.

Cook looked at the map and said, "Well, our mission location is just ahead."

Cook also had some headaches for this mission. Cook and others’ mission was to establish an observation post on a mountain 50 kilometers south of the settlement. Once there are gregarious animals and beasts, they will immediately warn them. There is news that in another place in the Monto Empire, thousands of people in a residence were attacked by a group of monsters. No more than ten people survived in the entire residence, so Cook's team was sent out to guard, but The task change also more than doubled the remuneration. The task amount for each person was increased to 500 gold coins, and each person received a subsidy of 200 gold coins. Because Lars was promoted to the Great Swordsman, Tyson and other talents would Accepting this task, after all, the combat effectiveness of intermediate professionals is more than ten times that of junior professionals.

Of course, as a wood magician, Cook's salary for a year is more than two thousand gold coins. Lars is also the number. This is why Tyson chose this task, because Cook lived in half a month. Thousands of kilograms of poisonous thorns were planted around the surrounding walls of the land. With these thorns, the protection of the residential area was increased by more than one level.

Cook and the others finally arrived on the mountain before dark. They didn’t care to check the surrounding terrain. Cook first built a simple defensive circle with the seeds of the poisonous thorns, and then the rest of the people set up tents. This place is mosquitoes. Quite a lot, Giro even lit some wet grass to smoke away the surrounding mosquitoes. After a simple meal, he rested. Of course, a night watch is necessary.

Early the next morning, Cook and the others got up. The top of the mountain was more than two hundred square meters, of which one hundred square meters was a slightly flat area, and the other was some standing rocks.

There is no choice in such an environment. Cutting down trees, building houses, digging a pool for storing water, the whole house was almost built in the afternoon, and the house built of thick logs relies on the huge standing rocks, and the whole house is divided into On the fourth floor, the first floor is the lowest area with some sundries on the other side, the second and third floors are where you live, and the fourth floor is a watchtower built on rocks that are more than ten meters high.

Cook threw a lot of thorn seeds down. Soon, the top of the mountain was wrapped in thorns, and there was only one road leading down the mountain.

There is no other way. The watchtower is too dangerous. The favorite thing about flying monsters is to stand high. If Cook does this, the entire top of the mountain looks like a huge hedgehog.

The houses are relatively simple, with tree bark, weed roofs, and log walls, but when everyone sees hedgehog-like residences, their sense of security is greatly improved.

Giro sighed, "Oh, if only I had the ability of Hill!"

"Just you, go get some water!" Lira said angrily.

Yes, it's all because of Cook, otherwise, who would dare to build a place to live on the top of this mountain, this is a hunt for death, the powerful flying monster will find it the first time, and then....

After the house is built, it is the façade of the house. Because the house is spacious, each person has a room. Cook even occupies the fourth floor. The fourth floor is divided into three parts. One part is where Cook lives. The other is the watchtower. The watchtower can directly lead to the top of a rock. The top of the rock is two or three square meters. The other area is where the remote weapons are placed. There is a small platform where you can directly put the remote weapons. Push it out.

Since the house is built with rocks on the back, the defense is only about the place to go up the mountain. There are places like this on each floor where weapons are placed. However, there is a kitchen and dining place on the second floor, so one person lives, and Lars lives below. Because Ras is an intermediate professional, the guards are better below, and the rest live on the third floor.

The mercenaries are all-rounders. Giro took advantage of the opportunity to fetch water and unexpectedly picked up some edible mushrooms, and they picked them back together with the wood, and then just threw them in the first floor area, the top of the mountain was gravel. , I'm not afraid of poisonous insects.

The evening was a meal of mushroom lynx broth. After eating, a group of people discussed the next thing on the second floor. Since it was only a guardhouse, there were many peaceful days.

So the next opportunity to earn extra money came. In the eyes of ordinary people, the surroundings are death traps. In the eyes of mercenaries, these are treasures, magic herbs, and monsters. Valuable things.

"I suggest Lars sit at home. After all, the place to live is the most important thing. Another thing is that it is best to have four people together when going out. The jungle is too dense here." Tyson said first.

Giro nodded and said, "Yes, the jungle in this place is much denser than the Warcraft Forest, and there are many poisonous insects in this place."

Lars replied with a smile: "I have no objection."

Russ has any opinion, because the extra money is evenly distributed, but the responsibilities at home are more serious. Latif gnawed his bones and said: "Anyway, I am going out, what I need is fighting. fighting!"

Tyson looked at Lira and said, "Lira, what do you think?"

"I don't care!" Lira replied with a shrug.

Cook was thinking of something with his head down, but found that he was silent for a while. He looked up and found that he was looking at himself. Cook asked in astonishment: "What's wrong?"

"Hill, what do you think?" Tyson asked in a low voice when he heard Cook's words.

"Hehe, of course I want to go out with you, but let's be more careful. The main thing is stability at the beginning." Cook said with a smile. Cook found that he had gone through more than two months of gravity training. , Cook has not turned off the gravity magic pattern he is equipped with. Cook found that he can move freely under twice the gravity, but Cook knows that this is not his bottom line of potential, and he may not be prepared to add some gravity. It seems that double gravity is very strong, but Cook knows that this is far from enough, and Cook is looking forward to his bottom line of potential.

"Hill made sense. It was so decided. Lars and Lira are in charge of the house, and the rest are going out, but this is not certain. Lars and Lira can also go out with us in turns." Tyson waited. It is Cook's words ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Why does a big swordsman in Lars stay in this team? It is not because of Cook's face.

Tyson also knows that in this team, needless to say, it’s really amazing to be able to reach the intermediate level in this life. All he wants is to make more money, and then let his descendants have more resources. Reach a higher peak.

Latif is a fighting madman, as long as he is not impulsive, the future is boundless.

Russ has a good talent. As long as he has enough resources, it is not impossible to advance to a senior professional.

Giro’s talent is average, but Giro’s understanding is good, and his future growth is still unknown. As for Lira, he has a mentality of peace and security. For this task, Lira doesn’t want to come, but maybe he thought of it. I was lucky with Cook, so I hesitated to come out.

"Come out, come out, magic airship, magic airship!" Early the next morning, Lira shouted loudly, and Cook and others immediately came out, seeing a huge airship slowly descending.

Johnny first got off the magic airship and shouted loudly, "Guys, come and move things!"
