"Captain Goode, why are you so polite to a nobody like me? We just met by chance." Dress said.
At this time, there were only two of them left by the campfire, and all the others had returned to their tents to rest.
Isn't this guy called Good a little too friendly to me?
Their attitude is completely different from some of the mercenaries or adventure groups we met before.
To be honest, if adventurers and mercenaries meet each other in the wild, it is very normal for them to kill and rob each other.
The best outcome is that both sides do not interfere with each other and each goes about their own business. Of course, this is based on the assumption that both sides have equal strength.
Dress, who was alone with a Bemundstan, usually played the role of the lone guy and was often robbed.
However, these robbers usually don't have a good ending. If Dress can deal with them, he will naturally take their lives. If he can't deal with them, there is still a finale, the Bei Bird!
After traveling for more than three years, Dress had never seen any creature or person who could be a match for Bemondstan.
Even Bemundstan has never grown in size to fight, but he can overwhelm them with just his human-sized body.
The powerful physical fitness of the space monster is still abnormal even if it becomes smaller, not to mention that Bemundstan is not afraid of energy attacks.
"It's true that we met by chance, but you are not an unknown person! The strange humanoid bird following you, and the black sword behind you, all reveal your identity. You are Black Sword Storm, right? You are also a blessed one like Doc, but you have the attribute of storm." Good stared at Drake and said.
"Black Sword Storm? Who gave me this name? It's such a bad name." Dress asked speechlessly.
"It seems that you have admitted it. When I saw you just now, I had some doubts, but I was not sure. However, the big bird next to you and the black sword next to you made me guess your identity. Your reputation has been well-known in the entire adventure and mercenary circles in recent years." Good said with some cold sweat on his forehead.
Black Sword Storm is a lone wolf adventurer master who has emerged in recent years. He always travels alone without any teammates.
He is always accompanied by a giant bird and wields a pitch-black two-handed sword.
He can also use various storm spells to frequently attack adventurers or mercenary teams at night, killing them brutally.
Then they stole all the goods they were escorting and all the valuables they had on them.
He himself doesn't really like to do adventure missions, so Black Sword Storm has always had a bad reputation.
According to a rumor, Black Sword Storm has some very special eating habits.
The mercenaries and adventurers he killed often had their bodies disappear without a trace.
This situation makes Black Sword Storm's reputation even more terrifying, and he is simply a killer.
After guessing that Dress was Black Sword Storm, Good was very nervous at this time. He was really afraid that the other party would suddenly attack and massacre their small mercenary group.
The other side has many impressive battle records. Many small and medium-sized mercenary groups that are much stronger than theirs have been slaughtered by the Black Sword Storm.
The only ones who can be considered masters in his team are himself, the water magic blesser Doc, and the thief Tiffany. The rest are just a bunch of useless soldiers. They are definitely no match for Black Sword Storm in a real fight.
"Your Excellency Black Sword Storm Dress, our mercenary group is just trying to make a living nearby. The cargo we are escorting this time is not very valuable.
"These are things a wizard apprentice wants. If you are willing to let me go, I can pay you ten gold coins as a reward." Goode said.
What Goode meant was that our group is actually very poor, and the cargo we are escorting is just a group of low-level monsters, and they are things that a wizard apprentice wants. You don't need to rob us, and we can even give you some tolls.
This time it was Dress's turn to be speechless. What's wrong with you?
Are you asking me to pay you protection money? But I have absolutely no intention of robbing you at all!
Alas, I don’t know since when my reputation has become so bad?
Otherwise, throw away this black sword next time!
"Ahem! Do you believe me if I say this is all a misunderstanding? I have never actively robbed any adventurers or mercenaries." Dress said with a little embarrassment.
He did kill a lot of adventurers and mercenaries, but those bastards originally wanted to rob him.
In most cases, he played the role of the victim, but he succeeded in killing the enemy in the end.
As for the stolen goods, please, they're my spoils, okay? Are you going to just throw them away?
Because of the storage space, it is relatively convenient for Dress to transport these goods.
Normally, he would pack up the mercenaries who had robbed him but were killed, or the goods left behind by adventurers, and then take them to big cities to sell them at a low price.
As for the rumor that I have a special eating habit, that is pure rumor!
The bodies of those guys disappeared, but they were all eaten by that Bei Niao, and it had nothing to do with me.
I don’t have any special hobbies like Hannibal!
"Then we have a deal. You won't attack us. These ten gold coins will be considered as tolls. A master like you won't go back on your word, right?" Good took out ten golden coins and handed them to Dress.
".......Keep the money for yourself! To be honest, I'm not that short of money. And I've just said that those guys I killed were all people who wanted to rob me. I have never actively attacked anyone." Dress said speechlessly.
But Good didn't believe what Dress said at all, and still looked at Dress with great vigilance.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I won't accept the money you give me. I'm going to sleep, you can do whatever you want." After saying that, Dress turned around and returned to his tent, pulled the curtain, and then lay down. He even left his own black sword outside.
With Bemenstein guarding outside, no one dared to attack him.
I was speechless. I had been thinking about building a good relationship with him and asking him to take me to meet the wizard apprentice! Looks like I have to go on my own.
After Dress left, Good showed no intention of letting down his guard. He put on his armor and even kept watch with his sword.
No conversation that night, and early the next morning.
Before Dress woke up, Good immediately woke up his teammates and planned to escort the monster away.
