Chapter 673 Still as good as ever

On the tree-lined avenue with lush vegetation, a group of cavalry was running along the path. The shade of the big trees blocked the harsh sunlight, bringing a bit of coolness to the summer, but the rapid sound of horse hooves was like stepping on the top of the heart, making people feel uncomfortable.

People are quite irritable.

The person leading the cavalry and riding at the front was Kaya.

Not long ago, the guards she sent to wait near the entrance of the territory came rushing back and reported that a group of bandits had gone there.

There are only four or five guards in total, which is indeed a hundred million points different from the thirty or forty bandits. It is normal to come back and report the news if they can't be defeated.

Originally, Kaya didn't pay much attention to this time. There were rumors of bandits coming out of Wegelin Territory every day. At worst, he could just bring his troops to eliminate them.

But Kaya counted the days and it seemed that Perenli was coming soon.

The letter was sent more than twenty days ago. When it arrived at the Adventurers Association of Magic University, it had to be more than ten days ago. Based on Kaya's understanding of Perenli's busy daily life, he would probably come to Wegelin in these few days.

Receive. (Kaya calculates it based on the time it takes to ride a carriage)

So Kaya immediately took the cavalry on duty and hurried on at lightning speed.

Her eager look puzzled her guards.

Since graduating from the Adventurer School, Kaya has taken over her brother's job as lord after returning. Although she is still a bit immature, she can still handle everything in an orderly manner.

Especially when it comes to eliminating bandits, Kaya's performance is outstanding and she can remain calm and composed at all times.

Maybe going out on an adventure can really broaden your horizons. In short, although most people still don't dare to approach Kaya, they are still very convinced of her.

Seeing that they were gradually approaching the location where the robbers were witnessed, a cavalryman following Kaya reminded:

"Miss Kaya, if your friend is as strong as you said, some robbers should not be in danger and will definitely be able to escape."

This man is actually Gary's second brother, and there are three brothers in their family.

The eldest brother, of course, stayed at home and inherited the family business, the second brother had been skilled in martial arts since childhood and joined the lord as a guard. The third brother, Gary, had no other choice but to become an adventurer.

After all, the guards would definitely not accept a guy who couldn't use weapons, so Gary could only try his luck as an adventurer.

"I'm not worried about him."

Kaya did slow down a bit, because the front was already close to the entrance of the valley, and the ground was full of gravel. Running too fast would cause the horse to sprain its feet.

"I'm mainly worried..."

Before they finished speaking, a group of cavalrymen turned the corner, and immediately saw a black shadow flying over and hitting the mountain wall, like a balloon filled with water that was suddenly burst.

Large red blood stains left dazzling graffiti on the rocks, and the sound of bones being broken reached his ears, frightening the cavalrymen following Kaya.

The only one who wasn't scared was Kaya, because it was expected.

She rode around the corner first and tightened the reins.

The cavalry following Kaya also turned the corner and saw a scene they would never forget.

The ground that was originally full of gravel but relatively flat now became pitted, like undulating waves.

The dazzling red and the grayish white of the stone have become the main colors. Flesh, stumps and internal organs are everywhere. The blood stains seem not to be so eye-catching here because they have been scattered everywhere.

Even if a large artery is cut open and the blood is drained, it is unlikely that the blood will be spread so evenly. It is more like squeezing a person dry like ketchup, trying to squeeze out every drop of blood.

The guards, whose eyes widened with horror on their faces, noticed at this moment that there was a man standing in the bloody slaughterhouse, holding the reins of the flying dragon in his hand.

The strange thing was that there was no trace of blood on his body, and he even nodded with satisfaction at the tragic situation around him.

"Is there originally a tree here?"

Someone among the guards asked a question, and everyone suddenly realized that it was inconsistent with their memories.

This place should be just a large flat rocky beach with very little grass, let alone trees.

But at this time, behind the two-legged flying dragon, there was a thick tree that was almost ten meters high. It looked like it was very old.

Just when the guards realized this, the tree suddenly moved, and they could see the whole thing clearly.

That wasn't a tree at all, but a tree man.

The strong sense of crisis reached its peak when the man's eyes came closer. The guards put their stiff fingers on the handles of their weapons, but no one dared to draw out the sword immediately. If there was actual killing intent, it would be like wielding a sickle.

Like the god of death, they came to their backs, and even though the scorching sun in midsummer stung their skin, a circle of cold sweat broke out on the back of their necks.

It wasn't until the man saw Kaya, the leader, and waved hello vigorously that the strong sense of crisis disappeared from the guard's heart.

"I'm here!"

Kaya couldn't help but hold her forehead, but it turned out to be a step too late.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

If he couldn't defeat a mere thirty or forty bandits, Pei Renli could give up being the Demon King. He had nothing to do with being a real enemy or escaping from the Demon King's Arena. After all, he couldn't get involved at all.

Two years have passed. In addition to the improvement in combat experience brought by the Demon King Arena, the most direct manifestation is the level.

Pei Renli has made rapid progress from level 35 when he graduated from Naspar two years ago to level 45.

This level is actually a high-level mage, and if his level exceeds 50, his prestigious reputation will be enough to spread throughout the entire plane, and even other planes will hear about it.

Once the level exceeds 10, the winning rate will be less than 10%, and if it exceeds 20, the winning rate will be so low that it must be calculated with decimals.

If level 45 Pei Renli fights a group of bandits who are over level 20, the effect will be a complete crushing. Unless the quantity can reach the point where quantitative change leads to qualitative change, as many as they come will die.

To him, this was something he was used to, but to outsiders, it was a shock to my mother.

There are very few people with the ability to cast spells, let alone high-level magicians. Many people may have never even seen a real magician.

So on the way back, no one in this group dared to get too close, as if they would be trampled to death by Pei Renli turning into a frog if they offended a little bit, especially when Pei Renli handed them the reins of the flying dragon.

, looking at his expression as if he wanted to leave a last message.

The only one who didn't care and dared to get close to Pei Renli was Kaya.

After all, she had long been accustomed to Pei Renli's operations, so there was little movement this time.

Because the wyvern was too undulating when running on the ground, it was impossible to sit on it, so Perenli very consciously ran to ride on the same horse as Kaya.

"I knew you would definitely kill them all."

"What? Do you want to live?"

"Yes, we have been tracking the lair of these bandits for a long time, but there has been no progress."

Pei Renli shrugged, saying he blames me?

His habit is that as long as he is recognized as an enemy, he must be beaten to death. Even if he is beaten to death, he must repeatedly confirm to prevent resurrection.

In other words, if you don’t do it, you must do it absolutely.

These are the lessons learned from many adventures and accumulated in the Demon King’s Arena.

Having said that, after not seeing each other for two years, Kaya has changed a lot.

She has become more heroic. Her original childlike girlish temperament is now becoming more and more attractive. What remains unchanged is her gorgeous red hair.

"Did you really just study at the Magic University for the past two years? Why do I think you are at least twice as good as when you were at school?"

"I've almost never gone out. Fondal sent me a letter asking if I wanted to go on an adventure together. Lydia even came here in person, but I refused."

Pei Renli said in a tone of 'look, you still have more face'.

"Maybe it's because you find it troublesome..."

"It's nothing. Otherwise, why would I have rushed here as soon as I received your letter?"

"Isn't it because we are close?"

"Of course not, it's mainly because you're beautiful, tsk tsk, your waist is still as awesome as before."

“…..”

Kaya sighed secretly and said helplessly:

"You are obviously already a high-level mage, how come this mouth still has the same virtues as before?"

Kaya's feeling is still accurate. Compared with level 35, the most significant feature is that the magic power has more than doubled at level 45. However, the increase in combat effectiveness is not as simple as the increase in magic power.

At first glance, Pei Renli was still dressed as he was at school. Perhaps because he was in a hurry, he didn't even wear a robe. He put his staff on the back of the flying dragon and came wearing simple and cool home casual clothes.

But if you look carefully, you will find that there are a lot more "bits and pieces" on him than before.

There are two rows of brooches of different styles pinned to the clothes on the left chest, and a metal shoulder pad with a large number of runes painted on each shoulder is worn.

This part is usually hidden under the robe and is not easily seen by outsiders, especially enemies.

In addition to the metal kneepads on the knees, the boots must also be magic items. There are even two anklets of different materials hanging on the ankles. There is also a leg ring on the thigh of the left leg, and a silver chain extends from the waist.

The legs are fastened with locks, and it looks like a fanatical ornament lover, quite killing style.

Every finger on his hands was covered with rings, and gemstones of different colors sparkled in the sun. Pei Renli even had his ears pierced and wore a single earring.

It can be seen that Pei Renli is very resistant to things like nose studs, lip studs, and tongue studs, otherwise he would probably wear them all over his face.

As for the invisible magic items hidden in his arms, I'm afraid there are more. Because Kaya knows that Perenli is the kind of guy who will never show it out if he can hide it. He must not be able to hide it in his arms, so he put them all

Wear it on your body.

When they were in Naspar, Kaya knew that Perrenli was keen on making magic items and potions. After two years of absence, this passion seemed to have turned into a fanaticism and intensified.

But then again, this style of Master does look particularly reliable.

"Let's get down to business, do you know what that stone ball is?"

"I don't know. I can't judge just by reading the description in the letter."

Pei Renli really couldn't judge. It was like an online consultation. The patient's own description was sometimes inaccurate, leaving the doctor confused.

For people who do not understand magic, it is difficult to accurately explain the characteristics of magic items, what they are, how harmful they are, and how to deal with them. They must wait for Pei Renli to see the actual items and study them.
