Being reminded by the Castle Master, Roger immediately remembered that he had indeed picked up a small statue of the Nightmare Beast after wiping out the Death Lord. [] The situation was chaotic at that time. After he put the statue into the warehouse, he just ran for his life without looking carefully.
However, later on, I forgot about this statue when I had other things to do. If the mayor of the castle hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have remembered it.
Knowing that the Castle Governor would not mention this matter for any reason, Roger quickly took out the statue of the Nightmare Beast from the warehouse and asked: "Is this thing useful?"
"Hey, don't tell other people that you can't afford to lose this person who has inherited all my knowledge!" The castle leader sighed: "Is there a dent on the base of the statue? You just need to press it with your finger.
If you know a spell, you can use it to turn the statue into a real nightmare beast as a mount."
Roger, who was already tired from running, quickly followed the instructions, and the small statue in his hand immediately disappeared. At the same time, a ring of fire suddenly appeared on the ground at Roger's feet, and with a low horse neighing, his head and body were completely black.
, a nightmare beast with eye sockets, four hooves and a mouth full of flames suddenly appeared in the center of the ring of fire.
The Nightmare Beast is tall and strong, taller than an Arabian horse on Earth. Roger's head just reaches its shoulders. If this behemoth suddenly attacks, most people will definitely not be its opponent. But the Nightmare Beast is very fierce to Roger.
He was docile, standing motionless with his head lowered, waiting for his new owner to ride him across the earth for the first time.
Roger had never ridden a horse before, and he didn't have much confidence in whether he could control this guy. However, the guy in front of him was running further and further away, so he didn't care about it anymore. He jumped up and mounted the Nightmare Beast.
Roger imitated the behavior he had seen on TV before, holding the reins with both hands and shaking slightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Drive!"
In fact, Roger's worries were completely unfounded. The Nightmare Beast was not an ordinary horse. To a certain extent, it was a familiar that acted completely according to his will, so Roger didn't have to worry about controlling it at all.
Following Roger's command, the Nightmare Beast stepped forward with its four hooves surrounded by flames. To Roger's complete surprise, the Nightmare Beast was very stable even when running fast, with only slight bumps, even compared to
Cars are more comfortable.
He quickly backed up against the trees on both sides, getting closer and closer to the guy on horseback in front of him. At this time, Roger was in a really good mood.
"Wow, this is like a private car with its own parking lot, no need to refuel, always available when called, and a cool-looking private car!" I didn't expect this little nightmare beast statue to be of such great use. After sighing, Roger couldn't help but sigh.
Castle Commander complained: "You knew there was such a good thing and didn't remind me to use it earlier. You really don't know how to behave!"
"It's for your own good that I didn't tell you before. The Nightmare Beast is a creature from the demonic world. If you pull it out casually and ride it, be careful of being tied to the stake!" The Castle Master quickly reminded: "Don't blame me then.
I didn’t remind you!”
"Can't you ride it in front of others?" Roger was discouraged after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: "What a pity, I originally wanted to ride it to pick up girls, but now it's all over!"
"You know how to pick up girls!"
"Tch, you are a big rock. Of course you don't know the good things about girls."
"Why didn't I know? I thought back then..."
In this nutritious conversation, the Nightmare Beast took Roger and galloped forward, chasing the rider who was desperately escaping in front of him. Although the man's horse was not bad, he couldn't outrun the Nightmare Beast at all. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
It won't take long for Roger to catch up with the guy in front.
The man in front also noticed that the pursuers were getting closer. Especially after discovering that Roger was riding a nightmare beast, he was frightened to death. He desperately urged the horse to run faster. However, he could only delay the pursuit slightly.
It's just time to catch up. It's completely impossible to get rid of Roger.
"Still want to run?" Roger also noticed that the guy in front was accelerating, and immediately leaned down and said to the nightmare beast: "Speed up and catch up!"
As if it understood Roger's words, the Nightmare Beast sped up with a low hiss. However, at this moment, the man in front suddenly stopped, as if he didn't intend to run anymore.
Roger, who was riding the Nightmare Beast, quickly caught up with him. Only then did he know what the target he was chasing looked like. This pot-bellied guy had a big hooked nose, a bald forehead, and other people.
Billy's image was exactly the same. Only then did Roger know that the target he was chasing happened to be the leader of the child trafficking group, the administrator of Twilight Town.
"Why are you so hard on me?" Billy asked Roger with resentment as he slowly approached, gritting his teeth, "I don't think I have offended you, right?"
Roger didn't have the slightest fondness for this guy who had separated many people's flesh and blood for his own selfish interests. He looked down at Billy and said, "I really have nothing to do with you, but there is always justice in this world. Just for
I won't let you go either."
However, after saying these awe-inspiring words, Roger quietly added in his heart: "Who should I ask for money from if you run away?"
"Don't let me go?" After hearing Roger's words, Billy suddenly laughed crazily. After a while, he said sullenly: "It's me who won't let you go!"
As soon as Billy finished speaking, the woods behind him suddenly made a "creeping" sound. Following this weird sound, a large moving tree slowly walked out of the woods, and finally stopped behind Billy.
"Holy shit, the monster this guy raised is actually a tree man!" Looking at this big guy who was two stories tall, Roger couldn't help but curse.
"This is not an ordinary tree man, it is a withered tree man that was polluted in the Plague Land." The Castle Master observed more carefully and immediately pointed out his mistake.
Different from the ordinary tree people known as "forest herders", the color of the polluted withered tree people's bodies will change from vibrant green to lifeless gray, and all the lush branches and leaves on their bodies will fall off and turn into dry and dead wood.
In addition to changes in appearance, withered treants have also undergone great changes in other aspects. They are no longer the guardians of nature. Their original intelligence, which was not inferior to humans, will deteriorate and they will only act according to instinct. Some withered treants even
A being who loves to kill is definitely not an opponent that adventurers want to encounter.
However, at this time, the Castle Hub seemed very happy, and then said to Roger excitedly: "Such a tall tree man must have magic crystals in his body. As long as we get its magic crystal, we can build a primary animal training ground!"
