Chapter 172 - Exchanging With Lives
“It’s the middle of the night, are you gonna let me sleep…”
Lin Li opened the window in a depressed manner, and saw that there were a few carriages that stopped outside the front of the inn. A group of fellas wielding their weapons came down from the carriages one after another. There were more than ten people in this group, and they looked threatening and malicious. Even if Lin Li was blind, he knew that they were not here to stay at the inn.
What made Lin Li feel odd was that these people were not bandits, though they were also looking malicious and using weapons. Lin Li could distinguish who was a bandit and who was an adventurer.
The leather armor on these people were inscribed with a pair of interlocking swords as their logo. This should be the logo of a certain group of mercenary corp. It was like Silver Hand that had a sword and the Ruby Moon Mercenary Corps that used a red crescent. As for which group this was, Lin Li had no clue yet…
And the last person that came down from the carriage was even a mage.
Lin Li was shocked. A mercenary corp that had mages was uncommon…
Within Alanna city, the prowess of a mercenary corps was usually determined by the number of mages they had. Why was Elijah doing well? It was because he had a team of more than ten mages that had powerful magic strength under him. Some of them were even archmages. Elijah relied on this strength to barge his way through into the top ten mercenary corps in Alanna.
Before Lin Li could ponder more, the bandit had a gloomy look, and asked, “Just these few?”
Just when the thief had finished his sentence, another adventurer came out from room beside. “Captain, this room is empty. I fear the woman has already…”
“Understood…” The thief nodded, and walked to Hank with a gloomy face. “Let me ask you, where is that woman?”
Hank cooly laughed. “Rode, do you think you can hide that tiny bit of shrewdness of your’s from Captain Serena? Wipe your a*s and wait, the end of your Rising Sun Mercenary Corp is coming!”
“When did Serena escape?” The thief’s face was as black as the base of a pot. He did not imagine that this surefire operation would go wrong at the most crucial part. Serena escaped. What was the point of catching these small fishes?
“Heh…” Hank had a proud look, and he pointed at the two thieves at the entrance of staircase. “It was when these two idiots were only watching us.”
“…” When Hank’s voice just fell, the two thieves’ face were immediately as white as a sheet. They messed up in such a crucial situation, so the only fate that awaited them could only be…
“Trash. I will deal you with later…” Rode stared at those two thieves menacingly, and then ordered his underlings. “Bring them away.”
“Yes!” The thieves voice had just befallen them when a group of fierce and aggressive adventurers rushed over.
“Hey, Hank, how could it be so coincidental?” At this point, it was improper for Lin Li to continue watching the events unfold. In any case, Hank had helped him before. If it was not because he had provided information, Lin Li would be clueless about the trouble that Ina had run into.
“Fel… Mr Felic?” Hank eyes were instantly wide open. He could not imagine that he would run into this young mage again at Blackhills Town. Although he was surprised, his suspended heart finally descended into place at the same time. He was clear that if this young mage were here, his life would be safe…
“Guys, how about some negotiations?” Lin Li looked at the thief that was called Rode, and smiled politely. “Anyhow, capturing Mr Hank is useless. Why don’t we strike a deal?”
The thief was stupefied initially, and stared at Lin Li for a while before murmuring, “What kind of deal?”
“This…” Lin Li scratched his head, and thought about it agonizingly before probing, “Why not just using your lives?”
