Chapter 60 Great Round Lake
I
spent five days with the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group.
It can be said that Du Wei even began to like these guys a little, he liked this unscrupulous, rough and arrogant man, he liked these nights with wine bags, gulped down the meat of Warcraft, and then full of foul words, brazenly discussing how the prostitutes in a certain city last time were...
He even met several mercenaries, such as the old one-eyed dragon who was responsible for cooking food for everyone at night, an old mercenary who was said to have been a very powerful guy when he was young, but lost an eye and a left hand during an adventure. He saved Baiinrich's life, but refused to take a sum of money to go home to retire, in his words, he was reluctant to live this exciting life, preferring to stay in the mercenary group to do something for everyone.
Although he only has one eye and one hand, he is not a burden. Not only can he come up with food to fill everyone's stomach... The old one-eyed dragon also has a unique job, that is, anywhere, even in the barren desert and the cold snowfield, he can always find food! He can even identify at a glance which mushrooms can be eaten, which mushrooms are poisonous, and even look up at the sky to accurately judge the weather in the next few days. Listen to the wind and you can tell if there is a snowstorm a hundred miles away.
These are his lifelong experiences.
It can be said that in the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, in addition to the regiment leader, the old one-eyed dragon is one of the most loved by the mercenaries.
There is also Striel, an archer with only eight fingers, whose little and ring fingers of his left hand were bitten off by a beast in an adventure. But no one dared to laugh at this guy with only eight fingers: because his archery skills were brilliant, even if he only had eight fingers, he was the first marksman in the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group.
In five days, Du Wei and Dardanelle also won the approval of the Snow Wolf mercenaries.
Over the next two days, the deeper you went into the forest, the more dangers you encountered. Once, when capturing a phantom leopard (this leopard moves as fast as lightning, and can even use innate magic to conjure up a virtual avatar shadow to confuse the enemy, just when the enemy can't tell which is the real body, it may have approached you and then bit off your neck!).
When capturing the leopard, Du Wei fully demonstrated the role of a magician, he threw a few retardation spells in one go, so that the leopard, which was originally faster than lightning, turned into a guy who could only squirm slowly and slower than a turtle, and then Dardanelle went up and made up for it.
In the past, when encountering this kind of leopard, the servants and the group would have to lose manpower. But this time with the existence of magicians, it is always good to be able to not die.
Moreover, Du Wei's super mental power and induction power are also very useful to everyone. Usually when walking, Du Wei will suddenly call a stop, and then everyone can know the whereabouts of the prey in advance according to the judgment of the magician.
In the past five days, because of the addition of magicians, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group has gained more than twice as much as the previous three days combined.
Even Captain Beinrich couldn't help but have a reverie: How good would it be if a magician could really be recruited in the team?
Of course, after this thought flashed in his mind, Baiinrich immediately smiled self-deprecatingly.
Recruit a magician? No kidding. Even the royal palace nobles, or several famous families of the empire, can recruit any magicians. Magicians mostly like to be free and do not work for others...
A small mercenary group of their own, what capital do they have to recruit magicians?!

Du Wei himself was pleasant.
He had been holding back in the castle of the Rollin family for too long. Moreover, he can use magic unscrupulously here!
This is particularly important. Although Du Wei's psychology is not a child. But he has studied magic all these years, and after learning magic in the past few months, his strength has grown by leaps and bounds.
However, in the castle, in order not to reveal it too much, he would never let others know the fact that he had magic, and the only one who knew the true strength of Young Master Du Wei was Solskjaer.
Except for Solskjaer, no one, even Mad, was allowed to enter the young master's magic laboratory. And the magic laboratory is also nominally for Solskjaer.
To most people in the Luolin family, Young Master Du Wei was nothing more than an aristocratic teenager who was curious about magic... Perhaps, I learned a lot about magic potions. But magic potions, people don't think it's real magic.
It's like a child has a new toy and always wants to show it off. Although Du Wei is not so naïve, his ability to clearly show himself cannot be revealed... And when he came to this, when he cast his magic, the envious or awe-inspiring eyes of the people around him still made Du Wei feel very comfortable.
The skills can not be revealed, and the taste of the night walk is not pleasant.

Five days later, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group finally arrived at the destination of the trip: Dayuan Lake.
After passing through a forest, the scene in front of him became cheerful!
Standing under a tree at the very edge of the forest, looking at a large open area in front of him, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh a little.
It's so beautiful!
In front of you is a flat snow, soft snow and flat appearance, people can't help but go up and roll two fiercely. And ahead, about three hundred steps, is the Great Round Lake!
As described by Baiinrich along the way, this is a large lake, standing where Du Wei is and looking at both sides, the dividing line on the shore of the lake is long, there is no end in sight, the snowy distance, on the surface of the lake, is a thick layer of ice!
In such cold weather, you can't see the lake, but the ice on the lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the sunlight and looking radiant...
"If the lake is blue when you come here in the summer, then the scenery is beautiful." Captain Baiinrich walked to Du Wei's side, looked at the big round lake in front of him, and whispered: "This is the fifth time I have come here." You know what... Many of the brothers in my regiment came to this place for the first time... During the mercenary's adventurous career, the mortality rate was very high, and there were several subordinates in the regiment, who had followed me for several years, but it was also the first time they came here. Baiinrich's voice was a little lost: "It's a pity that many of the old brothers who followed me here last time were buried by me.
Du Wei just wanted to say two words of comfort, but Baiinrich had already cheered himself up, he patted Du Wei's shoulder hard, and laughed loudly: "Okay! No need to comfort me, Your Excellency, Magician. Because, that's who we are! This is the mercenary! This is the adventurous life! Someone comes, someone goes! Someone is dead, someone is alive!
After
saying this, Bayinrich strode down, and then began to loudly command the mercenaries under his subordinates to start working.
"Camp! Strier! You take people around, cheer up, be careful! We're going to stay here tonight! Hey! You! A few of you, don't go near the lake! Damn it! You don't know what's in this lake! Give me a little further away from the lake! Bayinrich shouted and cursed.
"Head!" The two young men in the distance had already walked to the lake, and laughed loudly: "Head! How many days have we not seen water ... Besides, I just want to open the ice and see if I can catch two fish! Eating wolf meat every day almost made my teeth sour! Ha haHaha..."
"Eat fish? You will be eaten by fish! Baiinrich shouted and scolded, and called back the two subordinates, but with a small number of people, the regiment commander frowned and said: "There is another one!" What about Bayer! Damn it! What about Bayer!!
The
regiment commander looked around nervously, and suddenly saw that in the distance, a subordinate had walked to the edge of the lake, and was smashing the ice on the lake with the handle of the knife in his hand.
"! Bayer! What are you doing! Bastard!! The regiment leader changed color, and while yelling, he ran towards the guy: "Get out of that lake!" Get out of the damn lake!!
Because of the wind, the kid by the lake in the distance could not hear the voice of the regiment leader, he looked back blankly, and did not hear the regiment leader's roar, as if he also shouted something loudly.
Du Wei saw from a distance that the young man still had a smile on his face.
Finally he had smashed a small hole in the ice, and he cheered loudly: "Hey! There are fish! There are fish here!
This time Du Wei heard his voice! But... It's late!
This guy seems to be a master fisherman, and after smashing a hole in the lake, soon many fish living under the ice in winter are coming up to the hole to breathe. The young man moved very quickly, grabbed a large fish from the hole, and then lifted it up hard.
"Colonel! See what I caught! The old one-eyed dragon can make fish soup at night, hahahaha! The
wind began to blow again, his voice came intermittently, and Beinrich ran over, cursing as he ran, and shaking his hands vigorously...
Suddenly, the fish in the mercenary's hand struggled hard, and then the fish's mouth suddenly opened, and a thin silver light shot out from the fish's mouth, directly shooting at the mercenary's eyebrows!
From a distance, Du Wei saw with his own eyes that the mercenary suddenly fell backwards, and the fish in his hand fell to the ground, bounced a few times hard, jumped into the hole again, and ran away.
Du Wei immediately ran over!
