Text 004: Transaction?????As soon as they heard the cough, Du Fan and others seemed to have not heard it at all, and continued to do their own things.

  The leader of this Snow Fox Mercenary Group is also a somewhat famous figure in the North, how did he end up being treated like this? At this moment, he just wants to leave in anger.

  But thinking back to when our Snow Fox Mercenary Group first entered the Northern Ice Plains, there were so many people, now only four are left, and basically all the equipment and supplies have been placed in our own camp.

  Although it is said that as long as we return to the camp and gather our belongings, there will still be opportunities to leave this northern ice field.

  However, at this moment, even if he had the courage of a thousand men, he would not dare to go over there again. But as long as he followed these few people in front of him, perhaps there might still be a glimmer of hope.

  Moreover, the team leader's gaze at Du Fan contained not only fear and awe but also a hint of greed.

  As Du Fan and the others were about to leave, the team leader couldn't care less about his dignity. He took a deep breath and said: "These respected sirs, I... Kasimil, the commander of the Snow Fox Mercenary Team, thank you for saving our lives."

  When he said that, Du Fan's figure paused for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, turning his head to Ferry: "Ferry, did you hear any sound just now?" As he spoke, Du Fan also winked.

  Fei Lei was also a clever person, and when he saw Du Fan wink at him, he immediately understood and said: "This... I really haven't heard any sound, do you guys hear anything?"

  The remaining Knights Templar exchanged knowing glances and burst out laughing, saying: "Didn't hear anything, didn't hear anything, we didn't hear a thing."

  Du Fan nodded and smiled again. At this moment, his own affairs were still unresolved, so how could he care about the guy who was going to drag him down just a moment ago?

  However, Kasimir seemed to have expected their reaction and walked a few steps forward with difficulty, blocking Du Fan's way. "Gentlemen," he said, "what happened earlier was indeed our fault, but didn't you also escape unscathed? I'd like to apologize for that. In this northern ice plain, encountering each other is fate itself. Can't we even spare a few words?"

  "This Casimir doesn't mention this matter, it's better not to bring it up. As soon as he mentions it, Du Fan thinks of his lost magic scrolls and holy water, and his heart is truly bleeding. He's so angry that he can't help but laugh, pointing at Casimir: "This... Casimir, right? If you think we haven't suffered any losses, then doesn't that mean you're prepared to compensate me for the dozens of magic scrolls I lost earlier? I'm a reasonable person, these magic scrolls were bought back at a high price, but I won't ask for an exorbitant amount. You say you're the leader of the Snow Fox Mercenary Team, you must have seen the world and know the value of these magic scrolls. I won't make things difficult for you, just consider them to be the lowest level, now immediately compensate me at that price, and I'll consider it as if we haven't suffered any losses. Then, whether you want to say a few words or a hundred words, it's not a problem."

  Cassimir was taken aback again, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Those dozens of magic scrolls, even if calculated at the cheapest price, would still cost at least one million gold coins. For the Snow Fox Mercenary Corps, it was truly an unaffordable luxury.

  But let's get back to the point, if they had money, why would Snow Fox Mercenary Group risk coming to this northern ice field to make a fortune. Moreover, this Kasimier team leader is a gambler who owes a huge debt before entering, so even if he were to come out of the ice field again and accompany him for another million gold coins, it's likely that even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't be able to pay it back.

  Du Fan looked at his expression, hummed and said: "Can't afford to compensate, right? Can't afford it, then get out of my sight. Don't give me any nonsense about how meeting each other is fate. If our fate is so good that you want to find me to accompany you in death anytime, then let's not count this encounter."

  As he spoke, Du Fan slightly waved his hand.

  At that moment, the several Temple Knights behind him all let out a low hum, their knight swords slightly drawn from their scabbards, and the fighting spirit on their bodies began to burn.

  "Wait... wait a minute... please wait a minute..." Casimir waved his hands repeatedly, afraid that Dufan would really order someone to behead him. Backing away while speaking, he said, "Although... although... I may not be able to afford to compensate you with one million gold coins at present, but I can offer other things in exchange..."

  Du Fan exclaimed "Oh" and waved his hand to signal the Temple Knights to stop their actions, then said: "What do you have?"?

  Kasimir's face flashed with a few strands of painful expression, but he still hesitated for a moment before searching in his own bosom, and after a while, he finally pulled out a small pouch made of sheepskin, shrinking and handing it over to Dufan.

  Du Fan sneered and signaled a Temple Knight to come forward and take it. Upon opening it, he saw that inside was a small bag of colorful magic stones, which should be the spoils of the Snow Fox Mercenary Group's expedition to the Northern Ice Plains this time.

  Du Fan now had experience buying and selling magic stones, he glanced at the small bag of magic stones, casually stuffed them into his storage ring, and then said: "These magic stones of yours are worth at most 500,000 gold coins, not even enough to be considered a discount on my things. You don't think that by paying such a small price, you can get whatever you want?"

  "Casimir hesitated for a moment, then continued, 'Apart from these magic stones, I have other things that can be used as exchange.'"

  Du Fan looked him up and down several times, but really couldn't see anything valuable on him. He still grunted and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly; if you have gas, let it out quickly."

  Kasimiro nodded hastily: "Yes, yes... respected sir, I think... you should be the first time to come to this northern ice field?"

  Du Fan nodded slightly.

  Upon seeing Du Fan nod, Kasimier continued: "So, although you gentlemen are all highly skilled in martial arts, I suppose you don't know much about this northern ice plain? But me? As the leader of the Snow Fox Mercenary Corps, I've ventured into this northern ice plain dozens of times. Although I wouldn't say I'm very familiar with this area, I have a general idea of what's where. So, if I share all the information I know with you gentlemen, it should be worth... tens of thousands of gold coins, right?"

  Looking at Casimir's apologetic smile, Du Fan was moved in his heart. Although he had a map in his hand and Nicolas, the divine magician, to help him, to be honest, Du Fan and his group were truly ignorant of the situation on the northern ice field.

  After all, apart from mercenaries who make a living on the edge of their knives, who else would come to such a place for no reason?

  Seeing Du Fan's expression, Kasimir clearly knew that he had slightly moved Du Fan's heart, but he didn't dare to make a move, and could only smile wryly and say: "This... this... I think... this gentleman should have some interest in my suggestion, right?"

  As he spoke, he continued to rub his hands together. This northern big man had a sly smile on his face, and the lewd movement made Du Fan feel a wave of disgust. However, in his heart, he was clear that if he could dig out some useful information from this guy's mouth, the trip would be much easier.

  At this moment, Du Fan turned his head and exchanged a glance with Ferre. Seeing Ferre nod slightly, Du Fan knew that Ferre was also quite interested in this so-called news about Kasimier.

  Du Fan hummed and said: "Speak... what conditions do you have?"

  "Cassimir's face lit up, and he said: 'Respected sir, actually... I don't dare to have any other conditions. You've also seen our current situation - a mercenary group of dozens is now down to just the four of us. If you don't help us, we're dead for sure. So, how about this? No matter where you want to go, we'll be your guides, and we won't ask for a single penny. Just... just bring us out of this northern ice plain when you return.'"

  Kasimir's request was reasonable in this situation, but Dou Fan knew that no matter what the situation was, he couldn't bring this group of people along. He shook his head and said: "This is not possible, can you think of another condition?"

  Several Snow Fox mercenaries showed a hint of disappointment on their faces, but Kasimir gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, I'll tell you everything I know. But in return, you have to promise me that we can rest at your camp tonight and tomorrow escort us back to our original camp so we can gather our gear and supplies. As for what happens next, we'll take care of it ourselves."

  Du Fan furrowed his brow and considered for a moment. Casimir's second condition was acceptable, and although Du Fan didn't trust him one bit, in his own camp, even if he had other ideas, it would be easy to kill him on the spot. What was precious was this detailed information about the Northern Ice Plains.

  After weighing the pros and cons, Du Fan thought for a moment before nodding his head and saying, "Alright, let's decide on this. Bring your companions along and follow us."

  As he spoke, Du Fan didn't look at Kasimir's expression and turned around to leave.

  Kasimir's face showed a hint of joy, he lowered his head and made several hand gestures behind him, the remaining three people followed up with a stumble.
