My Mercenary Guild is Full of Beauties

Chapter 13: Forest Town

Who was she???

Gard didn't know what to do for a moment. He was pretty sure he had never seen the girl, and he didn't know who the "master" she mentioned was.

Gard, who was struggling, shrank his pupils suddenly when he noticed the sword in the girl's hand. He was very impressed by this sword.

"The master you are talking about is Lady Aurora?!"

Flamme nodded lightly. "Master asked me to save you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gard found Flamme rushing towards him. At the same time, the poisonous spider that had been using its webs to tire him out in the distance screamed, turned around, and pounced at the girl.

"Watch out!"

Facing the enraged twilight poisonous spider, Flamme's expression didn't fluctuate even a bit.

Seeing that its sharp claws were about to pierce her body, Gard only saw a stream of light flashing across the air, and the spider's body froze instantly in mid-air. In the next second, several bloodstains appeared on its body, and it shattered into pieces in mid-air and fell to the ground.

"What a fast swordsmanship!"

Gard looked at the girl walking slowly in disbelief. The poisonous spider was killed without him seeing her swing the sword at all.

"Hiss..." The other poisonous spider stepped back a few steps in fear when it saw its kind's tragic death, groaned sadly, burrowed into the bushes, and escaped.

"Thank you for saving my life, Miss! If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have already..."

"Follow me, the master is still waiting for you."

Flamme left without waiting for Gard to finish his speech.

Aurora, who rested for a while and finally regained her ability to move, heard the rustling in the forest. When she looked up, she saw Flamme approaching, with Gard following closely from behind. The hollow left shoulder and the scars all over his body can prove how dangerous the battle was at that time.

Seeing this situation, Aurora immediately stepped forward to support Gard, and at the same time, she glanced at Flamme. This child was not tactful at all! As an outstanding youth in the new era, how can she let the wounded go by themselves?!

"Lady Aurora... Thank you!" Gard sighed deeply, "If this lady hadn't arrived in time, I might have been eaten by those spiders by now."

"Captain Gard, stop talking, you are seriously injured now. You must hold on and let Miss Claudia help you treat the wound after we walk out of the forest."

As for Flamme... Aurora didn't know what to say; she didn't respond at all except for an order, let alone other communication, so she simply asked her to open the way in advance for the two of them.

Under Flamme's protection, even if there were some twilight poisonous spiders hiding in the bushes or trying to sneak attack along the way, as long as they entered her perception range or made a sound to expose their presence, her sword would reap their lives in the next second.

After all, how could a little guy like the twilight poisonous spider, around level 3 or 4, be able to fight Flamme, a level 6 abyss species, let alone her extremely advanced swordsmanship?

Aurora conservatively estimated that Flamme's strength back then must have been above level 80 players! What exactly happened to make such a talented girl die and turn into a sword spirit?

"Let's find out more when we have a chance later."

On the other side, Claudia and the other three mercenaries finally got out of the forest under the protection of the barrier.

When he saw the wide road outside the forest cordon and the village with smoke floating in the distance at dusk, the merchant who had escaped from death lay on the ground and howled uncontrollably. He came out alive from the forest of death!

Goddess above! In this life, he would never be greedy for petty gains and put himself in danger again.

At this point, the three mercenaries were sitting on the grass, their buttocks slumped. After their tense nerves relaxed, they felt like their bodies were about to fall apart.

Although they were protected by Aurora's enchantment when fleeing the forest, they had to fight off sneak attacks from twilight poisonous spiders on occasion.

At that time, they didn't notice anything because of their high concentration, but now they realized that their physical strength had already been exhausted.

Claudia wiped the sweat off her forehead and squatted down to help the three mercenaries check their physical conditions. Fortunately, they only had some minor injuries and a lack of energy.

"I don't know what happened to Lady Aurora... Did she succeed in rescuing the leader..."

Using the Cure spell to heal the wounds of the mercenaries, Claudia looked worriedly at the exit of the dark forest.

"It's not very safe here, we might as well go to the village ahead and wait for them." After venting his emotions, the merchant wiped away the tears from his face, pointed to the village over there, and shouted, "With that girl and Gard's strength, there must be no problem!"

"No, what if we are seriously injured or they can't see us when we leave and wait for them to come out!" Claudia quickly shook her head and refused.

Seeing that she didn't want to leave, the merchant's face turned red, and he looked like a raging little bull. He stood in front of Claudia angrily and shouted hysterically, "I paid you to come here! I'm your employer! You should obey my orders!"

"Come on, we crossed the Halberry Prairie just because we obeyed your orders. If it weren't for Lady Aurora, I'm afraid everyone would be eaten up by those damn rats!" A mercenary sitting on the grass refuted angrily.

"Hmph! That's why I asked you to save that girl. If it wasn't for me, she would have died in that damned place!"

"Lord Rodrigo, although I am very grateful to you for saving me at that time, it is very uncomfortable to hear this word just after escaping."

Just as the merchant was blushing and yelling at the mercenary, a woman's cold voice suddenly came from the forest. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Aurora supporting Gard out of the forest with a cold smile on her face.

"Captain!"

The three mercenaries got up and rushed towards Gard together with Claudia.

"Captain, your arm?!" Looking at his left shoulder and tired and pale face, several people's eyes were red, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

"Why are you crying, isn't it just an arm!" Gard reached out and knocked on their heads, "It's not proper for a man to cry! Wipe it clean!"

"Lady Aurora! Thank you so much for saving our leader!" Claudia bowed deeply to Aurora, her eyes full of gratitude.

Aurora just waved her hand slightly in response and said, "Hurry up and heal Captain Gard's wounds. If you don't treat the wounds immediately, it will be troublesome."

After Claudia's emergency treatment, the wound on Gard's left shoulder finally stopped bleeding, and the wound was bandaged. After a few people regained their strength on the spot, three mercenaries took turns supporting Aurora and Gard.

Along the way, Gard sometimes looked at Aurora with questioning eyes. For a while, he still couldn't accept that such a big living person had disappeared out of thin air when he was approaching the exit of the forest, but the latter didn't seem to have any explanation.

It was obvious that she didn't intend to talk about this topic, so Gard, who was used to the scene, was very sensible and didn't ask too much.

After walking for nearly an hour, they finally came to Forest Town, a peaceful town on the edge of the Halberry Prairie.

The moment Aurora first stepped into town, her eyes were in a trance. Looking at the shouting stalls on the street and the people walking and communicating, memories of the past came to her eyes.

When the server was first launched, she also teamed up with a lot of friends to go to Twilight Forest to collect experience. When she was tired, she came to the tavern here to drink and chat with them about anything, making her forget about her illness and loneliness for a while. That was one of the happiest moments in Aurora's miserable life.

Even though many friends left the game due to various reasons later, the memories here were deeply imprinted in her mind, and she would never forget them.

"What's the matter with you, Milady?"

Seeing that Aurora stopped and looked at the town in a daze, Claudia came to her side and asked softly.

"It's okay, I just remembered something." Aurora smiled lightly. "Let's go, there is a hotel at the second intersection past here, let's have a good rest tonight."

Under her leadership, the few people came to the inn very quickly. These few hunger-stricken people had a sweet and delicious meal; even Claudia completely abandoned her ladylike side and joined the mercenaries.

Aurora, on the other hand, had already mingled with the others without the slightest shyness on her face. The mercenaries were initially doubtful that someone with such a graceful bearing as Aurora could enjoy herself in such a rowdy tavern, but they were soon surprised by how quickly she blended into the atmosphere.

The other mercenaries didn't think much about it, as they finally regarded her as a wanderer and didn't find it strange at all. Only Gard occasionally cast her a strange gaze, but Aurora didn't pay heed to it and continued enjoying the festive atmosphere.

After filling her stomach with big gulps, she threw herself on the soft bed after eating and drinking and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

This time, Aurora slept very deeply, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that she had slept until late afternoon.

Slowly sitting up, she looked sideways out of the window. Several children were playing happily below, and several old men were sitting under a big tree chatting on crutches, laughing happily from time to time.

"That's great... this is how it feels to be alive?" Aurora murmured.

Caressing the wound under the gauze on her chest, the slightest pain stimulated her nerves. The dangerous escape and the familiar system of the past two days gave her a vague feeling.

When she woke up on the day she entered the Twilight Forest, she thought it was just a dream formed after playing the game for a long time, but now... away from danger and in a leisurely and peaceful environment, Aurora felt this real feeling, that she had indeed traveled to another world.

The slightly muffled knock on the door pulled Aurora back from her world, she looked out the door, and at this moment, the knock on the door rang again.

"Who?"

"Lady Aurora, it's me, Claudia." Claudia's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, it's you, Miss Claudia. Please come in."

As soon as the words fell, Claudia slowly opened the door and walked in. She came in with a basin of water and a small cloth bag on her back, and smiled sweetly at Aurora, "Milady, how is your body feeling now?"

"Not bad, much better than before." Aurora nodded slightly in response.

"That's good, I'll help you change the bandage again."

Claudia put the water on the table and concentrated on untying the old bandages on her body. The wounds had almost completely scabbed over, and even some of the tender skin had fallen off, which made her sigh at Aurora's recovery ability. It's just too scary.

After checking around to make sure there was nothing wrong, she wet the towel, carefully cleaned her wound, put on the medicine, wrapped it with a new bandage, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Milady, your injury is basically healed, and it is estimated that you can recover smoothly after a good rest for two days." Claudia was about to leave with water, but when she was about to step out of the room, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head, and said to Aurora, "By the way, Captain Gard said that he would talk to us at night, and I hope you will come with me, Milady."

"Oh well."

Although she was a bit puzzled, Aurora still agreed.
