Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 Second-level Potion

Looking at the fat middle-aged man running towards him with a smile like a flower.

Raymond's mouth twitched.

This was the most eye-catching scene he had seen since he crossed over.

Through the analysis of clothing and appearance provided by Nanxing beside him, and what he saw and heard, Raymond had roughly judged the identities of the two.

A pair of desperate merchants and mercenaries.

There is no doubt that this is a great opportunity for him to further understand the surrounding environment of the territory.

At the same time, this also means that there is a high probability that there will be human gatherings in the surrounding areas within a radius of three kilometers of the territory.

"This young and handsome sir, I am the merchant Kunbu, thank you for saving my life!"

The middle-aged man who had come close first politely saluted Raymond.

Then, smiling flatteringly and rubbing his hands, he pleaded with Raymond: "Please show mercy, sir. Escort me to the river to the west? There is a boat waiting for me there." As a well-informed businessman, Kunbu saw at a glance that Raymond's status was obviously higher, and he was ready to go up and get close to him. However, before Kunbu could hug Raymond's thigh, Nanxing, who was standing beside him, set up a crossbow, with a cold face. She was Raymond's personal guard, so she would naturally not allow this suspicious stranger in front of her to get too close to the lord. Opposite, looking at the arrow flashing with dazzling cold light, the sensible Kunbu quickly raised his hands and smiled, indicating that he had no ill intentions. On the other side, Raymond patted Nanxing's shoulder gently, signaling him not to be nervous. He stepped forward and smiled at Kunbu, saying, "Your request seems a little too abrupt, right?

I think, if it were you, you wouldn't just help a stranger of unknown origin, right?"

There is no doubt that the reason why Raymond spoke like this was to find out the details of the two people and the relevant situation in the surrounding areas.

"Your Excellency said that we set out from Yehe Town, the closest to the east of this forest, seven days ago and were preparing to go to Kongqing Town in the west..."

Next, according to Kunbu's description, Raymond learned.

These two towns belong to two different human kingdoms.

Yehe Town is more than 50 kilometers away from here, and Kongqing Town is about 8 kilometers away, located on the plain on the other side of the river on the west side of the forest.

At present, because the two countries are at war, the border is completely blocked.

So, Kunbu, who has been trading between the two countries for many years, chose to take the risk and hire mercenaries to cross the forest.

As for the name of this forest, it is called the Forest of Demonic Shadows.

It is said that for hundreds of years, both countries have sent a large number of troops to investigate here.

However, the final result is that no soldier came out of the forest again.

The whole forest, like a demon, will cover everyone who enters it under its shadow until it is devoured, hence the name.

Because of this, this forest has become a no-man's land and natural barrier between the two countries. Even the surrounding civilians avoid it and dare not approach it.

"If it weren't for this batch of goods, I would not have made such a stupid move to cross the Forest of Demonic Shadows.

Now, not only did I lose the goods, but I almost lost my life."

I saw Konbu sighing with a sad face.

Then, Kunbu changed the subject and carefully took out a palm-sized brocade box from his arms, handed it to Raymond with both hands, and flattered him: "My lord, this is a little gift from me. If you can escort me to the river, this treasure will be my gift to you." After taking the brocade box, Raymond opened it and saw a snow-white pill-like object lying quietly in it. There was a faint fragrance wafting out. Without hesitation, he opened the attribute column directly. [Name: Qi Condensation Pill] [Grade: Second-level? Top-quality] [Effect: Strengthen the body and improve strength] [Note: This magic potion is made from a variety of rare materials. After taking it, your own strength will be permanently improved, and it can be improved by 1 to 3 stars each time. When you reach the peak of the first-level 9 stars, there is a 50% probability that you can directly break through to the second level, and the highest can be improved to the second level 9 stars. ]

"Second-level magic potion, Qi Condensation Pill?!"

When Shannai, who was standing aside, saw the items in Raymond's brocade box, she swallowed her saliva involuntarily.

In this world, magic potion is a very rare luxury.

Generally speaking, its value is at least ten times that of weapons of the same level, and she has only seen it once.

There is no doubt that this one alone can probably buy a two-story house in the center of Kongqing Town!

On the other side, after checking the properties, Raymond couldn't help but feel happy.

There are no restrictions in the function introduction.

This undoubtedly means that he can obviously take this kind of pill!

The most important thing is that next to this magic potion, there are three small words "upgradeable"!

"Not bad, I'll take it."

Repressing his excitement, Raymond nodded calmly and said, "Nanxing, then you can see these two off."

After a pause, Raymond whispered in Nanxing's ear, "If you encounter a strong enemy, don't get entangled, just withdraw directly."

"Yes, sir!"

Nanxing clasped his fists, turned to Kunbu and Shannai, and said expressionlessly, "Let's go."

"Thank you very much, sir!"

Hearing this, Kunbu looked happy and thanked him repeatedly.

And Shannai, who was standing aside, also bowed deeply to Raymond silently, and then left with Nanxing.

After a while, until the three figures disappeared completely, Nanyue, who was hiding in the dark, reappeared in front of Raymond.

On the other side, looking at the introverted Nanyue, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Raymond smiled and spoke first: "Nanyue, do you want to ask why I didn't just kill them or let them die.

Instead, I sent Nanxing to escort them out of the forest?"

"My Lord, that's right... That's right." Nanyue blushed slightly when she was alone with Raymond for the first time, and nodded.

"It's very simple, because letting them return safely is more beneficial to us in the long run."

Raymond began to explain: "First, during the conversation just now, I have confirmed from the side several times that the other party has not discovered our territory.

Second, Kunbu is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Kongqing Town and has a certain social status.

And sooner or later we will have contact with this nearest town.

At that time, no matter how we act, Kunbu will be the best stepping stone and breakthrough.

Finally, as for the female mercenary, after returning safely to the mercenary organization, she will definitely tell other companions about our rescue.

In this way, the entire mercenary organization will also have a certain good impression of us.

In short, no matter how you think about it, escorting them away safely is a business that can only make money and not lose money."

Hearing this, Nan Yue showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

In the eyes looking at Raymond, there was an indescribable brilliance.
