Mercenary Group

After Robin performed the "Moon Absorption Technique" on him, Jians finally understood the intention of Ling Fan and couldn't help but steal a glance at him. Upon seeing Ling Fan looking at him, he quickly averted his gaze.

Robin's "Moon Absorption Technique" took slightly longer than Ling Fan but managed to complete its mission very smoothly.

Next, Ling Fan and Robin joined forces, and their combined efforts doubled the efficiency of healing.

When they finished healing the last necromancers, it took less than three hours. By that time, both Ling Fan and Robin's dark magic power had increased by double.

Faraday, seeing Ling Fan and Robin about to leave, was deeply touched in his heart: "What a great person! He left hurriedly, just as he came gently, without taking a single copper coin. He spent so much precious time for us strangers, asking for nothing in return. What a respectable and admirable person!"

If Ling Fan knew about Faraday's thoughts, he would definitely be dumbfounded!

"Master, please wait!" Faldi hurriedly intercepted Ling Fan's path.

"What's the matter?" Ling Fan asked.

"Master, you have done so much for us. We can't let you leave just like that. It wouldn't be right for us to disregard your kindness," Faldi said.

Faraday's words immediately gained support from many necromancers around.

"Yes, yes, Master, you can't leave like this. At the very least, have a meal before you go," someone suggested.

"Great idea! Let's pool our money together and invite the Master to a restaurant!" someone else enthusiastically proposed.

"'Eight Drunk Immortals' in the city is good. Let's go there," another person suggested loudly.

"..."

All sorts of suggestions filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

"I have limited time, I'm busy!" Ling Fan casually threw out that sentence and then walked away with Robin, seemingly unaffected by the situation.

As Ling Fan and Robin disappeared in the distance, silence fell among the surrounding necromancers.

Watching the departing Ling Fan, someone among the necromancers murmured, "What a wonderful person! I never expected there to be such kind-hearted people in this world!"

"Yes! Good people like this are indeed rare..."

"Turns out there are people in this world who truly 'sacrifice themselves for others' and 'help the wounded and save the dying'!"

"..."

Each undead mage was deeply moved by the encounter.

Meanwhile, Ling Fan was feeling ecstatic! He never imagined that he could effortlessly double his strength just by using the "Moon Absorption Technique." It was like "finding a pie falling from the sky, and inside the pie, there was a lottery ticket worth five million."

"Robin, in a few days, we will travel the world," Ling Fan suddenly said to Robin, who was driving the carriage, for no apparent reason.

Robin didn't say anything, but in her heart, she believed that no matter where she followed her master, there would always be unexpected gains.

Since they returned late this time, it was already dark. Fortunately, it was a cloudless night, and the moon was full tonight.

However, a small unexpected event occurred this time. Ling Fan noticed wisps of smoke rising from the direction of their small wooden house.

Could it be that the wooden house was on fire?

Ling Fan and Robin didn't care about the carriage and immediately used their movement technique to sprint towards the direction of the wooden house...

"Payne, the rest of you stay here and rest. Carsh and I will scout the area to see if there's anything to eat," said Celine.

"Captain, you can go with peace of mind. This isn't the Warcraft Forest; there's no danger here," Payne replied dismissively.

"Don't let your guard down. We have a mission to fulfill, and we can't afford any mistakes," solemnly reminded Celine.

"Don't worry, we still have Vice Captain here. If you can trust me, you can trust Vice Captain," Payne said with a smile, looking towards a young woman in a beautiful blue outfit beside him.

"Lisa, watch over them. I'll be back soon," said Celine.

The young woman in the blue outfit nodded gently without saying a word.

They were a mercenary group called the "Cross Sword Mercenary Group" and was established less than a year ago. The reason for the name of their mercenary group was that the leader of the irmercenary group, Celine, was a swordsman, and her sword resembled a cross.

Two months ago, this mercenary group received a simple mission: deliver a letter to a necromancer named Faraday.

After passing through the Warcraft Forest, they finally arrived here today and coincidentally came across the small wooden house built by Ling Fan and Robin. Exhausted and tense from the past month, they decided to camp here for the night.

The wisps of smoke Ling Fan saw were caused by them lighting a fire to keep them warm.

"Robin, do you know who they are?" Ling Fan transmitted his voice to Robin, who was observing from the tree.

"I don't know. I think they might be a mercenary group," Robin replied.

"A mercenary group? What are they doing here?" Ling Fan asked again.

"I'm not sure. I think mercenaries take on missions from the Mercenary Association and receive their payment from there," Robin briefly explained.

"Why are they here?" Ling Fan asked once more.

"Robin doesn't know," Robin replied.

"Let's go down!" Ling Fan said, then transformed into an afterimage and descended first, while Robin also swiftly transformed into an afterimage too.

"Who are you people?" Ling Fan calmly asked the resting group.

"Who?" Almost instinctively, the previously relaxed group suddenly became alert, their eyes fixed on Ling Fan and Robin.

"Who is in charge here?" Ling Fan didn't take their wariness to heart and continued to ask nonchalantly.

"Hello, I'm Lisa, the deputy captain of the Cross Sword Mercenary Group. Our captain is not here, so I have the authority in our group for now," Lisa stepped forward and spoke while cautiously examining Ling Fan and Robin.

Lisa was a water elemental mage with considerable strength, already reaching the rank of magister.

However, despite her strength, she had no idea how these two children appeared before them. If they turned out to be enemies, it would be terrifying!

"Look, everyone! Where did these kids come from?" Payne, upon seeing the newcomers were two children, immediately stopped paying attention.

"Who are you, and do you have the authority to speak here?" Ling Fan despised it when people looked down on him. In the cultivation world, he was a renowned figure and had never been treated with such disregard.

"Just a little brat like you thinks you have the right to speak here?" Payne's eyes flared with anger. How could he, after being criticized by a child, remain his reputation in front of his comrades?

Seeing someone daring to insult Ling Fan as a little brat, Robin was immediately displeased and was about to take action, but Ling Fan, who had sensed it, stopped her.
