Xia Zina was curious about Mei's statement and asked, "Why?" Mei thought to say, "According to Gui, there are about 30-40 people in 'Lao Zhuang', although there are men and women, there are no children or couples. Each person's level is probably similar to Jack and the others, and may even be stronger." Everyone present was shocked by such an answer, and Iva exclaimed, "What! The Seven Warriors of a Village!" Mei tilted her head for a moment and said, "It should be said that they are just like Jack. Gui cannot judge how deep their strength is, so she classified them as the same level. They can make a comparison with each other, but they cannot compare with themselves because fundamentally they are different levels and cannot be compared. We only know that they are much stronger." KK asked, "Really?" Mei nodded and said, "According to Gui's description, if the Seven Warriors were like flames, you would know that they were very strong, and there was only one way to provoke them. Even the spark could automatically float onto you, causing passive damage. The people in the Old Village were like a ball of cotton, with a soft appearance and gentle touch that wouldn't cause harm. But if you slap hard, what is hidden inside is needle or poison, or even more terrifying things, perhaps only the person who slaps it down knows." Everyone can only shake their heads after listening. Mei continued, "According to Gui, he stayed in Laozhuang for about two months according to Jack's instructions, learning how the people in Laozhuang live. The people in Laozhuang usually don't interfere with each other, just do their own things regularly every day. They only eat one meal and eat the food they cultivate. Even conversations are rare." Song said, "Wow! That's not suffocating!" Mei said, "Jack instructed Gui to learn and do what they did, to see what they saw. The previous day, Gui barely did it, and even dared not disturb the others in Lao Zhuang. Afterwards, he couldn't help but ask a question to someone. Surprisingly, the other person didn't refuse to answer, but instead did his best to say the answer." Sakura asked with great interest, "Why? Isn't that group of people competing in the cold?" Mei shook her head and said, "They don't interfere with each other just because there's no need between them. When Gui asks a question, they don't hesitate to answer. Because for them, nature is already an supreme treasure, and there is no need for written records. All they do is observe and learn from nature, and all they can answer is their personal experience. Gui said they are the standard 'the older they get, the more confused they become'." Song said, "That's not very normal." Mei smiled and said, "The older they get, the more they can't come up with a reason for Guiti's problem. It's like that's what it was originally like, never changed, and I don't know how to explain it. It's like you can't say why a chair is called a chair; draw a circle, and call that shape 'round'. And these people's cultivation in terms of human nature is clearly better than others." Monk listened and said, "Then they are in a state that is almost natural." KK thought to himself, "If such people are born, can anyone stop them?" Mei said, "Gui hasn't really tested the physical, physical, and technical aspects, but they can be said to be 'flawless' in terms of their hearts. And they won't make such choices voluntarily, but these are all Gui's words. And Gui will try to learn as much as possible in the next month. Even if they meet Jack's requirements, do what they do, and see what they see, Gui will experience some meaning from it." Sakura said with an exaggerated expression, "Wow~! Isn't Gui almost like them?" Mei replied, "I don't know. However, Guita's heart training has exceeded the level that a warrior Lv12 should have, and he can only recover his sanity from the magic of the ultimate sword. However, he still can't restrain the magic like Jack, which means he is still far behind. Don't worry! We can still catch up." Song said, "Really?" Everyone fell into a strange silence. After a while, Xia Zina looked up at Mei and asked, "By the way! When do you plan to leave?" Mei tilted her head for a moment and said, "I've been staying for two or three days too. Let's leave tomorrow! How about that?" Mei looked at the other two people. "What! Oh! Good!" Song, who had finally come to his senses, replied simply.
After hearing this, KK said, "Hmm! We're leaving tomorrow. In that case, it would be better to explain." Mei asked, "What's up?" Iva looked at KK, and after nodding to each other, KK said, "This time you're going to the Lost Lava Forest, you'll pass by the nearby trading town of Dhaka. Please be careful." Song said, "Dakaga? Oh! Are you guys there to kill a demon Baron with Jack and Sally, the place where Xia Zina mentioned meeting Anxia and the others just now? Does that have anything to do with us?" Iva said, "I don't know if they're still offering us a reward. But the newly elected lords in that town can't be underestimated. And there are twenty Lv10 or above mechanics in that town." Mei asked, "A mechanic? Are you like Yerong?" KK nodded and said, "It's about the same. Because the new lord of Dhaka is a merchant who passed from Lockstone. Not only did he take over the previous Civil Defense Corps, but he also established a team of mechanics with the technology of 'firearms', and his long-range attack power should not be underestimated. Even the members of the professional union are discussing the need to separate the mechanics who use firearms for combat and call them' Gunsmiths'. However, basically they won't take the initiative to cause trouble, just tell you not to mess with them." J said, "That's right! The mechanic's musket can even pierce through armor at short distances. Back then, it was because only Yerong held the musket, so we didn't pay much attention to that kind of combat power. But recently, the mechanic's troops in Dhaka have successfully killed several strong bandit groups, and such a record cannot be ignored." Mei said, "I understand. Just don't get too close to them." On the way to the Lost Lava Forest, as it was not too late, Mei and his group decided to go directly to the forest and not stop at Dhaka. Anyway, with the Dragon Tower of the Fire Lizard tribe accompanying them, the group should not have too much movement, after all, people still have a sense of caution towards non-human races. Take a shortcut to the target. Longta, who was wearing a large cloak to cover his entire body, suddenly stopped. "Mmm! Something's wrong." Song asked, "What's wrong?" Sakura tapped Song's head and said, "Stupid! You don't even know how simple it is. Aren't we surrounded? Of course there's something wrong. Eh~! Surrounded!" The surrounding party appeared in the exchange of words between Sakura and Matsu. The other party had various professions mixed in, but what posed the greatest threat to Mei and his team was standing in the back row, pointing a long musket at their ten people. A light swordsman stood up, and from the brave guard on his wrist, it seemed that the other party was also a brave warrior. "Hey! If you're more sensible, just follow me back. Otherwise, don't blame me, the Lv33 hero, for teaching you a lesson." said the hero. "Mr. Jia Lu, please don't be so impulsive." The speaker was a woman who walked out, with a plain appearance and a slender figure. Such a woman is not worthy of being called an ugly woman, but there is still a big gap between her and the word 'beautiful woman'. However, the short musket hanging around the waist is quite eye-catching. The brave man known as "Jia Lu" said unhappily, "Why? You can tell from their sneaky appearance that things were definitely done by them. What's wrong with finding them?" A middle-aged man dressed as a hunter walked out and said, "Mr. Jia Lu, I shouldn't be looking for them. Because the scent I encountered that day is different." Jia Lu drew his sword and said rudely, "There's no chance for you dog to speak here. A few years ago, the murderer who killed your lord was lost in your pursuit, and this time you're telling us that you've lost track of your target. The people in our city actually refer to you as the 'Tracking High Hand - Kailiutou'. Without strong strength, I won't listen to you. You don't deserve the title of 'Expert'." The woman with a gun hanging spoke. "Sorry, traveler. My name is' Lingsheng 'and I am a mechanic from Lv14. Can you tell me your name? We are chasing someone." Mei saw the woman politely asking, even though Jia Lu's attitude was not good, she felt embarrassed not to answer. "My name is May Starr, Knight Lv14. They are Sakura Starr and Song Starr, both mercenaries of Lv2."
Ling Sheng listened and asked, "May I ask what is your relationship with the brave Gui Shida?" Matsumoto replied, "We grew up in the same village as the great hero Gui Shida. We're not like anyone else, and that attitude is simply disrespectful to the noble profession of a hero." Upon hearing this, Jia Lu quickly reacted and cursed, "Damn it, even if you come from Shida Town, being on the same road as the bandits is damn." Along the way, Song wished there were people outside of Sakura who could argue, and of course, he wouldn't give up such an opportunity. "It's better to be on the same path as a thief than to be like a thief! Besides, we don't have thieves around. Mei, Song, Sakura, and Shida are indeed our names, and we wouldn't be foolish enough to do bad things under Shida's surname. Compared to you wearing a brave costume and looking like a fierce bandit, return the brave wrist guard to the union as soon as possible! You don't deserve it." "Damn kid!" Jia Lu moved forward angrily. If it weren't for Ling Sheng blocking in front of him, he might have had a fight with Song long ago. "If he's not a thief, why is he wearing a tight cloak and not daring to let others see his face?" Jia Lu pointed to Longta and said. "Are you pursuing the Fire Lizard tribe?" Longta quickly pulled down his cloak, revealing his lizard face. There was a commotion around, and the hunter, known as the 'Kailiutou', looked carefully and said calmly, "Hmm! He is indeed a member of the Fire Lizard tribe. His scent is different from that of humans, and he has purple scales, so he should have a considerable level. May I ask if you want to..." Longta quickly continued Kailiutou's words and said, "I'm taking the three of them from Garden City to the Lost Lava Forest to meet our elders. Do you know what else?" Lingsheng said to Kailiutou, "That's right! Garden City has been in contact with the Fire Lizard tribe since two years ago. It seems that we have really found the wrong person. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused to you." Lingsheng waved his hand and all the most threatening mechanics in the back row lowered their firearms. Jia Lu seemed to be looking for trouble again when Ling Sheng spoke up, "Mr. Jia Lu, you are just temporarily employed by our lord. Please don't do anything beyond your duty. Team up." As soon as Lingsheng called out, everyone else completely put away their weapons and followed behind Lingsheng. Jia Lu, who was standing still with only himself, gave Song a fierce glance before reluctantly following the team and leaving. Sakura said at this moment, "Why can such a person become a hero?" Mei replied, "Lv33, he must be a brave warrior who survived twelve years ago. I haven't seen him in the small town of Sida. He may have been chosen by a brave warrior's wrist guard abandoned in the mountains and forests. People who can find a brave warrior's wrist guard outside are just lucky, apart from being really attracted. That kind of person doesn't need to be recognized by the experimenter for their character. So it's not surprising that a brave warrior would have such a person." Longta said, "Let's go! Since we left the forest, we have often encountered humans like this who block the way. That person named Lingsheng is already very open-minded, unlike some people who directly pull out weapons to attack." Sakura exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! That's called a bandit!" Longta laughed and said, "Haha! The elder said, 'If you can avoid it, then avoid it. I haven't seen anyone who can't avoid it yet.'" Everyone continued to move towards their goal, but Song asked again, "Mei, what did that tracking expert mean just now?" Mei answered as she walked, "The title of 'master' is given to someone who has cultivated a certain skill to a relatively high level. Unlike those who became 'masters' due to Lv99,' master 'targets a skill, while' master 'targets a profession. Moreover, the title of' master 'was established in the past decade or so, which was established after the Black Sheep Cataclysm, so the standards are still uncertain." Song continued to ask, "Anyway, that person named Kailiutou should also be very powerful! So who did he chase after twice?" Lunta spoke up. "Don't talk anymore. If we keep talking, we'll have to find a place to rest in the forest. Hurry up!"
The eerie atmosphere remained the same as before, but Lonta ignored it and crawled around. After all, for the Fire Lizard tribe, leaving the forest has been a thing of the past two years. For places that have lived for a long time, returning only gives a feeling of "home". "Shua!" A member of the Fire Lizard tribe flashed out of the nearby bushes. "Ah! Elder." The yellow looking Fire Lizard looked at Mei and the other three and asked, "Elder, are they..." Longta quickly replied, "They are members of the former Scorpio Mercenary Corps and need to see the Elder for something. What's wrong? You look so panicked." "People from the Scorpio Mercenary Corps! Because there has been a big incident recently, the elder wants us to be more vigilant. However, it's not a problem if we are from the Scorpio Mercenary Corps. The elder should go back to the village on his own." Longta nodded and said, "Be careful." He led Mei San and continued walking towards the depths of the forest. It should be a peaceful village with an unpeaceful disturbance. Sakura asked, "Elder Longta, what's going on here?" Song pointed to the place where many members of the Fire Lizard tribe gathered and asked, "Yes! Why did a bunch of lizards gather there and it's still noisy?" "Longta, you're back." The one making the sound was the Fire Lizard Cave Pagoda, which had a bright red exterior. "Elder Kuta, what happened? Eh! This is..." Mei asked when she saw another fiery red Fire Lizard tribe member next to Elder Kuta. "Hello, young man. My name is' Yema 'and I am a wizard in the clan." A delicate voice that was clearly different from rough and rough giants like Kuta or Longta came in, sounding both thin and sharp. It should be a female member of the Fire Lizard tribe. Kuta disbanded the gathered group of lizards and ordered them to prepare some warm food to entertain Mei and his group as well as the returning Longta. And he called Mei Yixing and Longta into his residence, while only the female Fire Lizard Wizard who claimed to be 'Yema' was present. After everything was ready, Kuta asked Mei, "What's up? Let's hear it first." Mei also bluntly stated her purpose of coming. After looking at each other, Kuta and Yema shook their heads and sighed. Longta asked, "What's wrong? Elder." Kuta replied, "Mei, if you came six months ago, you might still be able to help. If you come now, there's nothing you can do." "Half a year ago, it was possible, but not now. The dwarves won't change their attitude due to time differences, will they? Unless they're all dead and no one can help," Song said with a smile. I saw Kuta nodding with a solemn expression on its face. Sakura was so scared that she said, "No way! We're really all dead!" Kuta sighed and said, "It should be considered similar. The only dwarf gathering place we know now, there are no dwarves left. We are also not sure about other dwarf gathering places. Besides, the dwarf gathering place we know should be the largest gathering place for the dwarves, and the rest can only be considered a small part!" Mei asked in surprise, "Elder Kuta, can you speak more clearly?" Kuta nodded and said, "Three or four months ago, we received a message from the dwarf wizard's messenger, Mo Chuan, requesting help. I immediately sent ten tribe members to the dwarf tribe's gathering place, and at the same time, I asked Yema to come back from the volcano to hear her opinion. The tribe members who just went to the dwarf tribe's gathering place came back first. They reported that there were no dwarves present at the dwarf tribe's gathering place, and from the traces left at the scene, they should have all been arrested." Song asked, "Got it? Who did it?" Kuta shook its head and said, "I don't know. If I knew, we would have mobilized our entire clan and set off long ago." Mei calmed down for a moment and asked, "So, Elder Kuta, is there anything we can help with?" Kuta shook his head and said, "No, you just need to focus on your own business. I'm really sorry I didn't help you. If you really want to help me, please pay attention to the news of the dwarves on your own journey! We will also send people to investigate, after all, no one knows who the enemy is, and we can't even fight. If you need help, I won't be polite at that time." Mei said, "I don't know where the gathering place of the dwarves is. While we're investigating our own affairs, we'll also check if there's any news about the dwarves."
Kuta shook his head and said, "It's not necessary anymore. If you really don't have a direction, should you ask Yema to help you make a divination? Although it's not as accurate as Adam's 100% accuracy, you're also headless flies who don't know where to fly, so why not just choose a direction?" Yema only smiled and nodded after listening to the advice from Kuta. Mei had no choice but to bow and say, "Then I'll trouble you, Night Ma Wizard." Yema took out a deck of cards from the wizard robe she was wearing, arranged a diamond shape with eight cards on the ground, and placed four cards on the side. She spread them out in order and asked, "Have you ever been obstructed on your way here?" "Hmm! That's right. There really is a big idiot blocking the way," he nodded weakly and replied Yema continued, "Then go to the town he belongs to and take a look. You will encounter events or acquaintances who will inform you of your direction." Sakura said, "That's to go to Dhaka and take a look at Luo Mei." Mei nodded and said, "That's right! Let's go to Dhaka." At this moment, Kuta laughed and said, "Alright! Alright! There's a direction, a goal, and it's getting late. You guys should take a day off and set off tomorrow! Haha! Let's eat!" Everyone cleaned up all the unhappiness and spent time chatting and eating. At night. Mei sat where Xia Zina had once sat, looking at the sky as well. He just didn't know anyone had done the same action as him, it's just that people in the past looked at the morning sky, while he looked at the night sky. "Mr. Mei?" Mei looked towards the place where the sound was coming from, and Yema walked over. "Is there anything I can do? Night Ma Wizard." Yema shook her head and said, "I have learned about you from Kuta. This time you may meet old acquaintances, if..." Yema's voice hesitated, with a hint of uncertainty about whether to say it or not. "Yema Wizard, it's okay if you have something to tell me. If I can help, I will do my best," Mei said. Yema nodded and said, "Thank you! If you ever meet Sally, please help me convey his things. I still keep them..." Mei asked, "Is there anything else?" Yema shook her head and said, "That's it. Thank you." With that, Yema turned around and left. Mei looked at the figure of Ye Ma leaving with an indescribable feeling, as if she had seen it somewhere recently. Led by a yellow bodied Fire Lizard tribe member, Mei and his group left the Lost Lava Forest. Arrived at the trading town of Dhaka. The streets of Dhaka are chaotic. At three to five o'clock, there was a whole group of adventurers crossing the street in anger. It's like looking for some fugitive, everyone is in a state of high alert. "Mr. May Starr." Mei looked at the place where the sound was coming from and saw Lingsheng leading three mechanics over. Mei bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Miss Lingsheng. What can I do for you?" Lingsheng approached and thought for a moment before asking, "Mr. May Starr..." Mei interrupted Lingsheng's words and said, "Just call me Mei. Sida's surname is just to indicate that we come from Sida Town, and it doesn't have much meaning." Lingsheng nodded and continued, "Then just call me Lingsheng. I came to ask if you are available. My master is recruiting travelers for the third time and wants to do something." Mei looked at Sakura and Matsudaira behind her, and saw that both of them nodded. She turned back and said to Lingsheng, "May I ask what the detailed content is?" Lingsheng replied, "Please come with me. We only need to explain it in the Lord's mansion now. There are already many adventurers gathering." Mei nodded and said, "Okay. Could you please lead the way?" A luxurious mansion. The long table in the side hall was already filled with many adventurers waiting, each chatting and discussing things with their companions. If you are alone, it is silently drinking the strong coffee served by the host. Ling Sheng and Mei San found a seat and left on their own. The maid had just brought the porcelain cup and filled it with coffee when the largest door in the side hall opened. Five people walked out of the door, including an old butler, a slightly chubby gentleman with a merchant vibe, a lady dressed in pink aristocratic attire, and two male servants holding things held in silver plates covered in red cloth. The gentleman sat down at the main seat of the long table, while the others stood behind him.
The old butler made a sound and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord 'Farr' has arrived. Please be quiet." The gentleman spoke up and said, "Everyone, this time we're looking for someone. It doesn't matter whether they live or die, just bring their person or body back to me. If anyone can do it, then this is the reward I'll give them." As the gentleman spoke, he instructed the servant to remove the red cloth, revealing a sword and a beautifully decorated miniature firearm. Continuing, he said, "This' Dragon Slaying Sword 'and the' Fire on the Edge 'are both recorded in the latest version of the' Treasure Encyclopedia ', which is the reward for this time." Sakura wanted to ask a question, and some of the adventurers exclaimed in admiration, "Isn't the 'Dragon Slaying Sword' a rare weapon? I heard there aren't many in the whole continent, not only amazing in power, but also a nemesis for the dragon clan. And isn't the 'Edge Fire' Mr. Farr's precious self-defense weapon? I heard that although the gun body is very small, its attack power is also very good, and it won't lose to ordinary firearms. How come these two treasures are offered as a reward this time?" The gentleman named 'Farr' said with resentment, 'Because this time we're going to catch a pervert.' As he spoke, the young lady standing behind Farr lowered her head. Farr slammed the table and said, "That guy actually ruined my daughter's innocence. That day, when I opened the little girl's room, I saw a completely naked man on the bed. I sent many people to chase after him, but none of them caught him. Hmph! A group of useless fools. They are called 'tracking experts', and they can't even catch anyone to this day." The woman behind Farr pulled at Farr's sleeve and said, "Father, he..." Farr pounded the table again and said, "What's wrong with him! I've been raising you for so long, and your heart is towards outsiders. He told you before when he ran away, he was just playing with you, and you heard about it at the time. I can't hold my breath and insist on bringing that kid back. I'll torture him to death if he's alive. If he's dead, I'll whip his body as well." The woman said again, "Father, he just doesn't want our relationship to deteriorate..." Farr said with resentment, "It has already deteriorated. Can it be even worse?" Farr stood up and said, "No need to say anything more. Everyone, this is the content of this commission. Please make sure to bring him back. I have already invited many adventurers to do it, but so far no one has succeeded. So I hope you can fulfill the commission." At this moment, someone spoke and said, "Mr. Farr, could you please tell us the name of that pervert?" Farr tilted his eyes behind him and said, "Hey! Say again what's the name of that jerk?" The woman lowered her head helplessly and said, "Father, his name is' Jess'." As soon as they heard Jess's name reappear, Mei and the others all sprayed coffee out of their mouths. Sakura was frightened and whispered, "Stop making a fuss! Yema Wizard, is this how acquaintances meet?" Matsuya shouted, "What! You want us to find the trouble with the Seven Warriors." Suddenly, three people made an impolite gesture of spraying coffee and said something unclear. Everyone frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?" Sakura and Matsu were about to take the conversation when they were punched to the ground by Mei with a punch to the left and a punch to the right. Mei quickly said, "No more! It's just that some people are curious about strange names like Jess." When everyone looked skeptical and wanted to ask further questions, an adventurer spoke up and said, "Farr, I have a request." An impolite attitude, not even adding a respectful title. Fal didn't want to talk to such a person for a while, but considering that it was his own request, he only nodded to signal the man to continue speaking. The man said, "Can you please don't give me those two types of rewards after completing the task? I just need to marry a young lady." Upon hearing this, Farr rubbed his forehead with one troubled hand and waved his other hand, saying, "Let's talk about it when we reach it." "Haha! Miss, wait for me." The man laughed and walked out of the side hall. Song just squatted on the ground and said, "Wait for you, are you in hell? Find fault with Jess! Stop making trouble!" Mei Sanren left the lord's mansion, but was stopped by someone on the street. "Mei." "Ah! It's Lingsheng. What's up?"
Lingsheng walked over with the "tracking expert" Kailiutou, and Lingsheng asked with a embarrassed expression, "Excuse me..." Kai Liutou saw that Ling Sheng had been asking for a long time but couldn't come up with a single question. Even Sakura and Matsu showed a slightly annoyed expression, so he directly asked, "Mr. Mei, do you know Jess?" A simple question made Mei and the others look at each other. "Because I noticed that when you hear Jess's name, your reaction is the strangest. That's why you ask this question," continued Kailiutou The three of them looked at each other, and Sakura and Matsu quickly parted their faces, pretending to know nothing and looking at the scenery on Dhaka Street. Put all the blame on Mei. Mei saw two people looking detached from the incident and cursed softly. Still facing Lingsheng and Kailiutou, he said, "We know Jess, but we don't know where he is now, and we don't want to provoke him." Lingsheng excitedly asked, "Why! He bullied my young lady, why do you from the small town of Shida want to shelter such a person? Miss and I grew up together, and I really don't want anyone to treat her like this." Mei glanced at Lingsheng and then said, "What do your young lady think?" Mei's simple words sealed Lingsheng's mouth. Because she has such a close relationship with their young lady, she is very clear about her true thoughts. Mei continued, "I'm not sure about the details, but Jess is the kind of person who has principles about emotions." Song said on the side, "What! That kind of person has principles when called! Isn't he good as long as a woman?" Mei said, "That's because you're not very familiar with him. If you get to know him a little more, you'll find that he's the person who doesn't like to hurt women with emotions the most, and he won't hit anyone who says' no 'to him." Ling Sheng wanted to retort, "But..." Mei interrupted Ling Sheng and said, "He must have his own reasons for finding your young lady. We are all outsiders, so it's inconvenient to make more judgments about such things. In short, I'll just say one sentence. Being his friend is millions of times better than being his enemy." Kailiutou suddenly spoke up and said, "Is it related to the Seven Warriors you mentioned?" Upon hearing Kailiutou's words, Mei and his companions looked at each other again. Finally, Mei nodded and replied, "That's right, he's the 'Falcon' among the Seven Samurai. Of course, believe it or not, it's your freedom. I'll just say that. Sorry, Miss Lingsheng, we can't help with this commission." After finishing, Mei turned around and left. However, Lingsheng and Kailiutou remained in place, unsure of what to say or do.
