Lord of War

After eating and drinking enough, Sean picked his teeth. Seeing the little old man's squinting eyes and his constant muttering, Sean curled his lips.

He began to look around his surroundings.

The noise in the tavern was very intense, as if someone was arguing about something, but because the sound was too mixed, Sean couldn't hear it very clearly. But soon, several groups of mercenaries also joined the debate, and there were even faint signs of a fight. In the conversation with the little old man just now, Sean already knew that the only area in Lahn City that was not subject to the law and order regulations was in the tavern.

The security area of ​​the tavern is the responsibility of the tavern owner himself. As long as the tavern owner doesn't go to the guards, then the guards of Larn City can't take action against those who disturb and break the law and order in the tavern at will. Of course, the case of chasing prisoners is an exception, but even if the tavern owner goes to the guards to solve the problem, it is a necessary unspoken rule to pay the guards some hard work afterwards. But soon, Xiao En discovered that when these mercenaries were arguing, they would always ask a companion around them, and these mercenaries would only speak after getting confirmation from their companions. Immediately afterwards, it seemed that not only mercenaries, but also some adventurers joined the discussion one after another, which immediately aroused Sean's curiosity. He raised his unfinished glass of rum and squeezed in between the people who were having a heated exchange, and it didn't take long for him to figure out what the hell these guys were arguing about. Due to the geographical location of Lahn City, the teleportation magic circle here is not provided for public use, that is to say, whether it is mercenaries or adventurers, if they want to come to Lahn City, they can only Come here by land. And around Lahn City, there is a forest where many kinds of monsters live, and it is also an important hub of trade routes, so this is actually a city with very prosperous commerce.

It's no wonder that when Sean first arrived, the little old man thought Sean was looking for a job.

Many powerful adventurers and mercenaries often gather in the city of Lahn in the Principality of North Lens, and it is precisely because of the economic development driven by this person that the Principality of North Lens has its current national strength and status. . Therefore, Lahn City, which believes in "time is money", has gradually established the illusion that the entire city is in a hurry in the past few decades.

At this time, what the mercenaries were arguing about was the habit of a monster called the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard.

This is a kind of monster similar to a reptile lizard, and it is rated as a sixth-level monster in the Warcraft Atlas. Adult ghost winged lizards can generally grow to a back height of two meters and a body length of five meters. Among them, only the length of the tail is about two meters long. At the end, there is a round object full of spikes like a hammer ball. Although the moving speed is relatively slow , but possesses very strong power, and its body scales can bring it strong magic and physical resistance. It is said that the ancestor of the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard was a high-level monster with the blood of a giant dragon, but after tens of thousands of years of evolution, it finally transformed into this creature due to various hybridization habits. The difference between the Phantom Lizard and the general monitor lizard is that it grows huge bony wings on its back. It is said that it can reach a length of three meters when fully unfolded. A powerful monster soaring in the sky, but now the wing membranes behind this monster have completely fallen off, leaving only the skeleton structure. But even so, once the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard spreads the bone wings on its back, it can still be used as a very sharp and powerful weapon. It is difficult for ordinary armor to stop the bone wings from sweeping. In addition, this kind of monster has relatively rare three-attribute elements: fire, earth, and wind, so although it is labeled as a sixth-level monster, it is actually more difficult to deal with than many seventh-level monsters.

Under normal circumstances,

No one is willing to provoke such a powerful monster.

Fortunately, except for the ghost-winged monsters appearing as families during the mating period, the ghost-winged monsters usually act as individuals.

Like the forest near Larn City, although the area can be considered vast, judging from the hunting habits of the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard, Sean deduces that there will be no more than ten at most. After all, there are still some seventh-level monsters living here. And the number of prey in an area is limited after all, so there is simply no room for so many high-level monsters living in the same place. After all, the Northern Continent is not an outer land. But what Sean really wondered was why these guys would discuss such a monster.

If the adventurers start a discussion, Sean can still understand, because adventurers will compete with demon hunters for jobs in order to survive when there are no ruins to explore. Even if they don't want to grab jobs, as long as they radiate outwards based on Lahn City, they will definitely go deep into the forest, and the possibility of encountering high-level monsters is very high, so it is natural to carry out some discussions and information collection. very normal thing.

But the situation of mercenaries is different.

Judging from the situation in Lahn City, as the hub of the commercial roads of the four principalities, they would only advance along the official road, and would not take such a risky move of crossing the forest unless it was a special case. And if you just advance on the official road, high-level monsters are unlikely to come to the edge of the forest to attack humans. Mercenaries might as well worry about the attacks of bandits and robbers. After all, according to Xiao En's observation, Rahn The volume of commercial transactions in the city is probably in the scale of more than 100,000.

"The Ghost Winged Demon Lizard is not as simple as you say. It has a very keen sense of smell and can smell odors five kilometers away." Another adventurer said, "Especially the smell of blood, which is easy to smell. It stabbed a hungry ghost-winged monster, so if someone is injured in the depths of the forest, hemostasis must be bandaged immediately, otherwise you will soon find that you are being targeted by the ghost-winged monster."

"A high-level monster's keen sense of smell is not a secret at all, but a commonality. You are not talking nonsense." Another mercenary retorted loudly, obviously taking what the adventurer said as a stupid statement , "It's okay to talk about your words with those rookies. Which one of you is not an experienced hunter, and you can use your common sense."

Soon, the mercenaries burst into laughter.

The adventurer's face was flushed red, but he didn't know how to refute for a while, so he could only say in a low voice: "The ghost winged devil lizard's sense of smell is different from that of high-level monsters!... What I said The hemostasis means that the wound must be thoroughly treated, and the wound should not be removed..." It is not the kind of simple bandaging and applying hemostatic grass that can solve the problem. "

"Hey, just now I said that we need to bandage to stop the bleeding immediately, but now I say that it can't be solved simply by bandaging to stop the bleeding." Another mercenary taunted.

Soon, the laughter grew louder.

The boundary between mercenaries and adventurers is quite blurred, but many times what adventurers can do is the market, but mercenaries can't do it, and it's also a job of licking blood with their heads in their hands. The income of mercenaries is often will be lower than adventurers, so it is reasonable for mercenaries to look down on adventurers. Basically, as long as there is a chance, mercenaries will not let go of any possibility of humiliating adventurers. It seems that only in this way they Only then can we find a sense of satisfaction and superiority.

It's just that when a mercenary group is dispatched, a person with rich knowledge of Warcraft is needed to guide the team, and adventurers can easily solve all possible problems caused by low-level Warcraft even if they practice alone. This shows the difference in the direction of specialization between adventurers and mercenaries. Of course, this does not mean that adventurers must be better than mercenaries. Often times, when faced with crises, mercenaries are the ones who survive in the end. Caused by being higher than adventurers.

Several adventurers also seemed to feel a little resentment, as if they had also been humiliated.

One of the adventurers impulsively slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table and stood up.

For a while, the atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became tense.

A dozen or so mercenaries from several different gangs stood up on the spot. Although they didn't mention their usual weapons, once a fight broke out in a place like a tavern, it would be the adventurers who would suffer the most. So soon, the adventurer was pulled back to the chair by his companions, but this result naturally caused a burst of laughter from the mercenaries, and the adventurers seemed to feel a little embarrassed , put some money on the table and got up to leave.

Sean shook his head greatly.

He has been listening here for a long time, but no one has mentioned the important issue of the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard.

In essence, Sean is actually more inclined to the adventurer system, because before joining the guild in the game, he was both a mercenary and an adventurer, but he still prefers to be a lone ranger adventurer.

So after hesitating for a moment, Sean still said: "The Ghost Winged Demon Lizard's sense of smell is indeed much more sensitive than that of ordinary high-level monsters. Not only can they smell blood, but they can also smell other smells." , and can even half tell the strength and number of the opponent through the taste, this is the real difficulty of the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard."

Hearing Xiao En's voice, the mercenaries and adventurers who were laughing were stunned for a moment.

Among them, a mercenary suddenly picked up a wine glass and threw it at Sean: "Even Baiyin is not a rookie, this is not a place for you to interrupt, get out!"

But before the cup approached Sean, it was blocked by an adventurer swinging his sword.

Sean's pupils shrank slightly.

The strength used by the adventurer who swung the sword was very ingenious. Not only did the cup he blocked not shatter on the sword, but it bounced back at a faster speed, and then hit the mercenary's face. He was smashed until his nose bleeds.

This time, he immediately angered the other mercenaries who were traveling with this mercenary. And soon, the mercenaries at other tables also stood up, glaring at the middle-aged man who drew the sword.

But facing the gaze and pressure of so many people, the man wielding the sword was not afraid at all. He just snorted coldly, then put the long sword in his hand heavily on the table, and immediately a cold air escaped. In the spleen, everything on the table was covered with a layer of frost. And several other people who were walking with this middle-aged man who seemed to be adventurers also raised their heads and looked around at this time.

Wherever those eagle-like sharp eyes looked, none of the mercenaries around dared to continue provoking. Many of the mercenaries were immediately pulled back to their chairs by their companions, and then they just whispered something in their ears, and the expressions of these mercenaries who were still aggressive when they stood up just now changed. This time, they didn't even have the courage to look at the middle-aged man's companion, and they all lowered their heads.

For a while, the scene seemed a little quiet.

"You seem to know the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard quite well." The middle-aged man looked around, his aura was like that of an emperor patrolling his territory, and the mercenaries and adventurers around him actually chose to back down , Even the few adventurers who got up and were about to leave just now sat back in their seats, "Are you a Warcraft scholar?"

"Probably." Sean thought for a while, and he knew a lot about Warcraft, at least better than many people who only had theories.

"How many kinds of monsters can be judged?"

"Except for outland species and subterranean species, I basically know the species on the mainland.

The sound of gasping for air rang out in unison in an instant, and the eyes of everyone looking at Xiao En became different in an instant.
