Chapter 33 Homeless Ever After

After a brutal fight, the mouth of Solon Canyon was littered with corpses and discarded weapons.

It won't be long before these corpses and weapons, like other relics on the battlefield, will dry up and weather with the passage of time, and it will no longer be possible to tell who they once belonged to.

The three surviving assassins in black rummaged through the bodies of the mercenaries one by one. The purpose of this carefully organized assassination was certainly not as simple as killing people.

The killer leader stood alone under the cliff on one side, looking at the roaring and rushing river below, and stood silent for a long time.

For him, this was almost equivalent to a failed operation. In the end, only three of the six groups of eighteen elite killers survived, as well as the loss of the seventh-level ice magician, which was a valuable resource for any organization. He still had lost an arm.

The only consolation was that although a huge price was paid, the mission was finally completed and this difficult B-level mercenary group was completely wiped out.

As for Arthur, who jumped from the canyon, he was not considered at all. The river from the ground to the canyon cliff is more than ten meters high. The river flowing down is fast and winding, and the bottom of the river is densely covered with reefs. Not to mention a person who has just broken through. The little guy at level three would probably die even if he jumped down, not to mention that kid was still holding on to the heavy giant sword stupidly.

"Commander, I didn't find anything." A black-clothed killer came up behind him and whispered.

The killer leader swayed and couldn't help but shudder.

...

Arthur didn't know why he subconsciously grabbed the giant sword at that moment?

"Anyway, if you can't swim, you will die if you jump. It's better to take it with you than fall into the hands of those killers."

"Am I going to die like this?"

"What is the world after death like?"

These thoughts suddenly popped into Arthur's mind the moment he jumped.

With a loud pop, Arthur fell into the water. All the bones in his body seemed to be smashed. The world was spinning, and all the thoughts in his mind were gone.

Arthur subconsciously opened his mouth and poured the water in.

Arthur still didn't let go of his grip on the sword hilt, and his body quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

Arthur closed his eyes tightly, unable to breathe, and his mind went blank. Just when Arthur felt that he was about to pass out completely, his body suddenly lightened up, and his whole body slowly emerged from the water.

Arthur raised his head and took a deep breath. When he fully opened his eyes, he found that not only was he floating on the river, but the giant sword was also floating on the water.

To be more precise, it was because the giant sword floated that Arthur was dragged out of the water.

"Shouldn't metal sink to the bottom? Why would such a heavy sword float?" Arthur was completely stunned.

The rapid river water swept Arthur and the giant sword downward. This strange sword seemed to suddenly lose its mass in the water. It was easier for Arthur to control it in the water than on land. When encountering rocks and reefs in the water, Arthur used The tip of the sword swung past from the side.

The "Dan yang Refining God" is running, and the body emits a scorching temperature. Arthur will not lose his body temperature even if he is in the cold river water for a long time.

After flowing through dangerous shoals and dark eddies, and falling down countless cliffs and waterfalls, when Arthur felt that all the bones in his body had been broken and his body was completely numb from the water, the water flow began to become gentle, and Arthur finally climbed up A flat river beach.

Arthur, who was almost soaked by the river water, stood up and looked at the unfamiliar mountains surrounding him. He was completely confused...

...

During the peaceful period when there was no war with the orcs, Huey Ores City was a peaceful small town on the edge of the human kingdom.

In addition to the fact that the city lord entrusted the task of purchasing the earth dragon whip to deal with his newly married concubine, Kristi of "Blooded" and Tour of the "Gangland" mercenary group were fighting for a woman in the Nightingale Bar. Gossip news, nothing worthy of attention anymore.

However, the news that happened in the past two days shocked the entire city of Futures and became the focus of everyone's talk in the streets.

The most powerful "Blue Enchantress" mercenary group in the city, captain Keynes led almost all the main members of the mercenary group to take on a mysterious mission more than a month ago and has not returned yet. And just the night before last, the regiment of the "Blue Enchantress" was burned to the ground by a fire. Not a single mercenary in the entire mercenary regiment ran out, and all the corpses were burnt to a crisp.

No traces were left at the scene. The wounds could barely be identified from the charred corpses. Almost all of them suffered fatal blows to vital parts. The murderer set the fire after killing everyone.

The city lord's palace and the mercenary union have issued huge bounty tasks to hunt down the murderers and arsonists at the "Blue Enchantress" headquarters.

Two days have passed, and no clues have been found.

Although there are no clues, many old mercenaries have vaguely guessed that "Blue Enchantress" must have provoked a terrible enemy during this mission. Although Keynes has not come back, there is a high probability that he will never come back.

Not to mention the "Blue Enchantress", a B-class mercenary group in a small border town. In the long history of the mainland, S-class super mercenary groups and even wealthy families were uprooted overnight because they provoked opponents they shouldn't have. Things happen frequently.

"Blue Enchantress", this mysterious mercenary group that rose like a comet, quickly fell like a comet.

Half a month later, no matter how big the news was, it became old news, and few people mentioned this tragedy after dinner.

A heavy rain that had accumulated for several days finally fell, and a ragged young man ran into the city at the last moment when the city gate was about to close.

After wandering around the Orlando Mountains for a full month, Arthur finally returned home.

Home, in three years, Arthur has already regarded the mercenary group as his home. Keynes, Randall, Adeline, Tony... are all his family members.

Although Captain Keynes and Adeline died in the battle, Randall and Tony were still there, and their home was still there. He wanted to tell Randall everything that happened in the Solon Canyon.

It was this belief that supported Arthur, allowing him to endure hunger, endure the intrusion of wild beasts, and endure endless suffering before finally walking out of the mountains!

When Arthur realized that the pile of charred rubble and rocks in front of him was the mercenary regiment headquarters, his vision went dark, and he fell to his knees directly on the ground.

Home is gone! The faith that had always supported him was gone!

At this moment, Arthur was really confused. He was the only one in the entire mercenary group who survived. Where would he go?

In the night rain, the boy could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

Arthur had not cried for many years since he was captured in the orc camp and was used to seeing death. However, at this moment, tears poured out uncontrollably, and the tears kept flowing down mixed with the rain.

A big hand silently grabbed the crying boy's shoulder...
