Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

In the early morning of Rio Road, it is busy and noisy. As the largest border city in the eastern part of the Kemir Federation, it is only separated by a long and narrow swamp belt from Crema, which belongs to the Holy Empire of Rofia. The weather is fine. At that time, it is said that standing on the highest peak of Roncoli Mountain outside the city of Rio Road, you can clearly see the whole swamp belt, the city gate of Crema and the front street.

The huge benefits that import and export trade can bring have made this frontier city crowded with a large number of caravans for a long time, and various service facilities that came into being have also flourished. , Various trade unions, one is adjacent to the other, and there are always a bunch of people in front of the door.

Empty flatbed trucks were lined up, filling the streets, roads and inn gates of the whole city. The stout coolies were shirtless and transported bags of goods onto the vehicles. Whenever a vehicle was fully loaded. After the goods are delivered, someone will lead a tall camel and horse and come to align the cart. This is the job of the nearby cart and horse shop that the merchants have booked.

Camel is a camel-like animal that can bear weight without slowing down. More importantly, it is extremely good at walking in wet and soft environments. It is the most important means of transportation here. The people in the horse shop took out a large amount of forage and fed all the camels to their fill. In the next two or three days, they would have no chance to eat anything.

After all these are done, the caravan members will cover the goods with the embroidered family crest or the pennant of the business name. Even if a carload of goods is loaded and unloaded, at this time, they are just waiting in front of the mercenary union. It's time for the adventurers, who swarmed forward, loudly promoting themselves.

"Boss, hire me. I have a second-level samurai rank and have returned from the Hidden Mist Swamp dozens of times. I only need 80 silver coins."

"No, hire me. I can do it for 70 silver coins. I also have more than a dozen experiences of returning from the Hidden Mist Swamp without incident. It is absolutely right to hire me."

"Hire me, I'm a thief. I'm most familiar with the terrain in the swamp. Hire me, and I promise to take people through the swamp in two and a half days."

••••••••••

In the noisy voices, the merchants or the servants of the merchants in need will ask questions carefully, test their skills, and select some qualified people to come out as the **** bodyguards of the caravan. Of course, There are also large caravans with deep pockets and private armed guard groups, and there is no need to temporarily recruit mercenaries in this way.

The guy in the herbal shop estimated that the transaction between the two sides was almost done, and he also started shouting at the door of the shop, attracting many mercenaries who received the task to buy it.

"Special anti-skid boots for swamps, only 3 silver coins per pair, guaranteed not to let you fall into the mud, there are also sobering agents to prevent dizziness, and insect repellents for sale, hemostatic agents and golden drugs are also in the special activities, come and see Look at it, the journey is away, safety first, make plans early, you will benefit from it~~~”

"What can protect your life? It's a sharp weapon, a sturdy protective gear, and a handy tool. You can find everything here. Come and take a look. I especially recommend the swamp special suit. In emergencies, don't look at regret, don't buy more regret~"

Not to be outdone, the weapons and equipment company shouted loudly as if to compete for lung capacity. When the voice fell, another group of mercenaries poured in.

And as a caravan was fully outfitted, some scattered travelers who were sitting in various taverns, restaurants, and even standing on street corners also began to move. They stood up one after another and walked towards the person in charge of the caravan.

"Look, that caravan is leaving, let's go and ask if we can form a group and go together."

"Well, yes, I hope to meet an experienced caravan."

"It's useless to have a lot of experience. The key is luck, but it's better for the team to go on the road than the two of us. I hope we won't be hidden by the fog."

Gone with the wind, leaving only a few words.

After some negotiation, each caravan accepted a lot of people, charged their group fee, and some wanted to go with them, but were told that the maximum number of people that the mercenary group hired by the caravan could protect had reached. , ask them to find the next wave of caravans that are willing to take people, and some of the later ones can only regretfully disperse.

As the caravans set off, the streets were emptied, and then picked up by the next wave of caravans waiting to set off, repeating the above steps.

At this time, in the most luxurious post house in the city center, Rio Road, there is another caravan waiting to set off. However, this group of caravans is obviously stronger, and the trucks are lined up in a row. , occupying almost half of the square outside the door, the loading and unloading coolies gathered nearly a hundred people, and they were busy for an entire hour before loading all the goods into the car, and the camel horse pulling the car was also unusual. , The fat on the body is thickly piled up, and the body is very strong. At first glance, it has excellent endurance.

Looking at this handwriting, some mercenaries began to move. Just as they were about to move closer, a flag was raised, and then lightly covered the goods. After seeing the embroidered family crest, all the mercenaries The soldiers stopped, and then continued to crouch back.

"I said whoever is so generous, it turns out to be the Gorse family."

"It's a pity, I thought that with such a strong strength, there should be a lot of money for the task."

"Who told people to have family knights? We don't need our mercenaries to protect them."

"Yeah, but I didn't see Mr. Cliff, who was in charge. He was usually in charge of the caravan here, and I didn't see anyone from the Plantage Knights."

"Probably not yet."

Several mercenaries were discussing in a low voice. In the distance, there was a neat sound of tapping. After a while, as the sound approached, they saw a small party of about two hundred people, walking in a neat and uniform step. , trotting forward here, everyone is dressed in extremely orthodox knight costumes, the whole body is protected from the air, the silver armor with exquisite workmanship is dazzling, and what is more striking is that everyone's armor is located on the left chest , and also engraved a golden five-petal dragon claw-shaped flower in Duyang, and everyone is holding it in their hands. The well-polished gun body glows with a dazzling luster in the sun, and the deterrent is amazing.

Seeing this team, the people around became silent for a moment. The knights marched all the way, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the inn. They automatically separated, formed an array, and stood opposite each other in two rows, as if they were waiting for something. The surrounding mercenaries and travelers looked around curiously, only to find that the knights were only the vanguard, and there were people behind, slowly moving towards this side. near.

The first person was riding a snow-white high-headed horse with no variegation. Complementing each other, the person on the horse was also a handsome man with a high nose and deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes, and a heroic figure. Although the knight armor on his body It is also silver and white, but it is embellished with elegant patterns. No matter how you look at it, it looks like an elite of elites.

"Who is that man? He looks like a dog." A mercenary said sourly.

"Huh? Isn't that the head of the Plantage Knights, Chrysler Hamilton? I seldom see him on a mission. This time the deal seems to be a big deal." With exclamation, a mercenary gave an answer. .

"That's him? That's only 25 years old, and he's already a genius of a great swordsman?" This time, the mercenary at the beginning swept away his jealousy and looked over with a look of surprise.

Following the whispers of the two, three carriages slowly approached from behind. Next to the last carriage, there was also a man on horseback, but the man was wrapped in a black cloak and could not see anything. Judging only from his stature, he was a tall man.

The three carriages slowly passed through the human wall formed by the knights, and then stopped. The surrounding mercenaries held their voices and paid close attention to every move inside.

The door of the first car opened, and a middle-aged man in a black housekeeper got out of the car and walked towards the second car. After bending slightly, he opened the door, a man wearing a black magician's robe. The man then got out of the car.

"It's Mr. Cliff, that man, as I remember it, seems to be Mage Miggs, who is in charge of the family magician here in Rio Road."

Soon a mercenary recognized the first man. After a little pondering, the identity of the second magician was also recognized, but seeing that these two were already considered to be the Gorse family in Rio Road. The men of the high-level representatives were only sitting in the first two cars, and everyone's eyes were focused on the last car with a very noble and elegant decoration.

At this time, Chrysler also jumped off the horse in a dashing manner and stood in front of the third carriage. He slightly bent his knees, knelt down on one foot, and after a very formal knightly salute, stood up, opened the door, and faced the inside. He stretched out a hand and said.

"Miss Ashevitch, Lady Galadia, please get out of the car."

As the words fell, a pair of white jade wrists that looked like snow and frost protruded from the inside and caught Chrysler's hand. Then, a young girl in a gorgeous green silk robe leaned out. After standing, she calmed down a little. After adjusting her wide skirt, she raised her face. Her face was covered with a veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly. Only her hair was as bright as gold and as thick and fluffy as a cloud. Wearing a gold spiked hair accessory with rubies inlaid.

The girl opened her mouth, and her voice was clear and pleasant, but at this time there was a hint of resentment.

"Chrysler, they said that there is no need to make such a big gift. I don't like it."

"Miss Ashevitch, please allow me to express my loyalty to you in this way."

Chrysler's voice was very sweet, and there was a hint of warmth hidden in his polite smile. After a pause, he looked into the carriage with a little respect, and said something to his confused young lady.

"And, this is also my respect for Lord Galadia."

When the two of them stood there like this, the people around them looked like a model image of a noble girl and a guardian knight.

"Did you hear that? Axelwitch? Isn't that the name of the eldest lady of the Gorse family?"

"It should also be the future heir of the family. The only child of the family is that young lady. However, this is the first time I have seen a real person."

"They are the first real power family in the Kemir Federation, how could it be so easy for you to see them."

"I don't know why even the eldest miss was dispatched this time? What happened?"

Some people who knew the inside story whispered to each other in a low voice, and then, in the speculation of everyone, they saw Aixueweiqi let out a low voice and smiled affectionately at Chrysler.

"Ah, I forgot, Lady Galadia is here, Chrysler, I blamed you just now."

Saying that, she turned slightly to the side, turned her head and looked into the carriage again.

"I'm sorry, Lady Galadia, it's my rudeness."

In the eyes of everyone's curiosity, the man in black cloak who was riding on the horse before also took a step forward and stretched out his hand. After a pair of jade, crystal, slender and fair hands lightly put it on, a man also wrapped in a black cloak. The woman got out of the car.

"Miss Ai Xueweiqi, don't mind."

The woman's voice was calm and elegant, and her tone contained a sense of awe-inspiring nobility and indifference.

At this time, Cliff and the magician also came forward. A group of people chatted all the way and entered the inn. Only the knights were left to guard the outside. The surrounding mercenaries and travelers were not looking. It was lively to watch, and they all dispersed.

-----------------------------------------

After placing the two young ladies, Chrysler came out of the inn and walked all the way to the camp where they were temporarily stationed on the square. He was going to leave tomorrow, and he still needed to do some final security inspection work. I heard two impatient shouts in no particular order.

"Go away, we don't need mercenaries."

"Go, go away, and find other caravans, we don't accept individual travelers."

The rude words caused Chrysler's eyebrows to twitch slightly. He looked forward and saw that in two directions not far from each other, his subordinates were blocking one or two people each, and walked quickly to the people who were rolled before. Before his subordinates, Chrysler asked sternly.

"What was your attitude just now? Where did you remember the rules of knighthood? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to bully others?"

Seeing that it was his superior, the knight saluted in fear.

"I'm sorry, Captain, it was this orc who wanted us to hire him, but he told him we didn't want anyone, and he kept pestering me, so I..."

"Enough, the next time I find out about your behavior, just leave the group and go down."

Chrysler interrupted his defense and rebuked him. After waving his hand to let people back off, he turned to look at the orc in front of him. This was a bear man, tall and mighty, nearly two meters tall. He only had a circle around his lower body. The shabby fur skirt revealed the furry upper body, a mountain axe was pinned to his waist, the rough manes on his face stood up, and he stared at them angrily.

It seems that because he saw a noble knight dressed in gorgeous and noble clothes, the orc suddenly became embarrassed. He rubbed his hands together, and snorted awkwardly.

"I'm very strong, you won't suffer from hiring me, I don't want a lot of money, as long as I can make a living•••"

Chrysler smiled gently and explained it patiently and meticulously for a long time before the orc named Will finally understood. They didn't recruit anyone and sent the bear man away. He walked towards the disputing person on the other side again.

There were two people over there, a man and a woman. Chrysler glanced quickly. The man seemed to be a little bigger than him. He was taller, dressed in short warriors, with a large exaggerated epee on his back and dark green hair. , looked extraordinarily heroic, and his appearance was also bright and lively. His eyes were open and closed, and he seemed to be introverted. He looked at a very arrogant man. Beside him was a teenage black-haired girl. Chrysler took a look at her. The eyes, after realizing that they were not purple, denied her the identity of the demon clan. This girl was also dressed in a simple gray dress, with a delicate appearance, but she stood there quietly, with a demure and elegant temperament. Like the daughter of ordinary people, she always seems a little petty and can't make it on the stage.

Chrysler did not dare to underestimate the bearing of these two people. He was very approachable, but his attitude was even more peaceful at this time. He stopped the two who were already planning to leave, and he politely apologized before explaining.

"It's a pity, the timing is unfortunate, we can't take people with us this time. If you have difficulties, I can help you contact a caravan."

The man stopped and smiled freely. He didn't seem to take it to heart. He just replied cheerfully and left with the girl beside him.

"It's nothing, if it doesn't work, forget it. We can find the caravan by ourselves, no need to bother."

After resolving the two sudden incidents, Chrysler gathered all the knights and exhorted them loudly.

"Take a good rest today, and cheer me up for the next few days. I don't want to see people who are sleepy. I must protect Miss Aixueweiqi and Lady Galadia."

"I swear to protect the Gorse family to the death, and never humiliate my life!"

The knights below responded in unison, pointing their hands to the sky, imposingly.

The next day, Chrysler took the Gorse Knights, the three carriages they were riding in, and more than 100 trucks, and set off before dawn. For the next three days, they would not sleep. The endless rush, and the reason for all this, lies in the Hidden Mist Swamp that stretches between the Holy Empire of Raphia and the Federation of Kemir.

The Hidden Mist Swamp, one of the top ten forbidden places in the continent of Alpharis, is recognized as the forbidden place with the smallest surface danger factor. The monsters inhabiting it are not very strong, and even not as high as the monsters in some ordinary forests and swamps, but this cannot be erased. The key to its danger lies in the origin of its name, fog hidden.

This swamp will be foggy from time to time. It was originally just an ordinary natural phenomenon, but every time after the fog, all the caravans walking in the swamp will disappear, and the missing people have never come back. The expedition was organized to turn the swamp upside down, not to mention that the missing person was not found, and even the expected bones were not found. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

The Hidden Mist Swamp has swallowed many caravans, whether it is magician, warrior, or thief, whether it is elves, orcs, demons, or gods, this swamp indiscriminately devoured all passing creatures, even large ones. The Magister and Juggernaut are so powerful that they can almost turn the world around, they cannot escape this fate, no one is an exception.

But people still enter the swamp one after another, just because starting from Rio Road, the border city of the Kemir Federation, it only takes three short days to cross the swamp vertically. Up to three months, and business opportunities are sometimes a race with time, so even if there is a potential threat, most people would rather take risks and bet a little luck than spend more time. Follow, it can happen from once in a few days, to once in a few months, or even once in a few years.
