The bonfire was very red and strong, and from time to time there was a lively crackling sound, as if everyone was in high spirits.
This transaction was very successful. The price of artworks and other specialties was higher than expected. Then I killed a dwarf businessman and purchased a lot of fine weapons at very low prices. I also got other items.
There is a lot of top-quality wood from the southeast of Ionfast, and the products of this wood are extremely popular among the aristocratic society of the Western Continent. The key is that I heard that an unprecedented pagan turmoil has completely destroyed the forest that produces this wood.
It was already the last batch of goods. With such rare goods, the value of these timbers was simply hard to estimate. Although they already had mercenaries, because the goods were too many and too valuable, Oufu also sent three werewolves and a Kodo.
Beasts came to help transport and escort their caravan. Many big-eared monsters broke away because they couldn't stand Oufu's system, and wandered in the wild highlands and started working as bandits. Oufu didn't have enough manpower.
In order to maintain the security of the entire highland, and considering the mood of the big-eared monsters who have joined Orfu, it is not appropriate to massacre their similar kind who have returned to their old ways.
But once there were three werewolves in the team, this worry completely disappeared. The merchants have been very happy since they left Orfu. Almost every night camping in the wasteland became a bonfire party, and the three in the team
The werewolves ensured the source of meat. Now we have reached the edge of the wild highlands, and we can return to Erathia in two days' walk. So tonight, the merchants took out their treasured wine and invited the mercenaries to drink it together.
.
Of course, the three werewolves in the team still refused to drink. Orcs had regulations that did not allow the orcs to get involved in such exciting drinks.
But it was different for others. Food and wine heightened the excitement to the extreme. Laughter, chatter, curses and shouts were intertwined, turning the originally silent wasteland and woods into a lively place.
Under the influence of alcohol, the ones who talk the most are definitely the mercenaries. And there are really many topics for them to talk about. There are too many major things that happened in this year. Among them, the most exciting thing is to make people talk about peace and harmony.
The one who fantasizes about desire is naturally the wanted criminal. This gentleman with five thousand gold coins is charming enough to make people talk about him and keep him in their hearts.
"If I discover the whereabouts of that guy, I will definitely not tell anyone about it. I will get close to him first. I will pretend to be a very honest and friendly person and get close to him, so that he will have a good impression of me, and then my guard will be lifted.
"A mercenary who was uglier than an orc and more ferocious than an ogre picked his nostrils and talked about his hunting plan. "You have to know that deep down in the heart of such a person on the run must be
He is very lonely, so as long as you touch his heart, he will treat you as a friend. Burp~~" He burped with a radiant face, raised his free hand and stabbed forward like holding a knife."
I can give him a knife in the back, and then I can, burp, hahahaha... Yabin, don't you want the fine steel Xiuka long sword produced by Kalundo? I will give you ten of them. Haha. Ai
Yimei, Brother Zhen, once I have money, those bastard magicians from the Tower of Fang, hum, throw a handful of gold coins over, hiccup... See if they dare to expel you from school. I can also stop by.
Learn that lao mozi magic..."
"Haha, this guy is obsessed with obscenity again." The mercenary companions and businessmen beside the campfire laughed together.
A soldier smiled and shouted: "Zhen, I remember when you were eighteen years old, you said you were going to kill the dragon underground under Negan, and then when you were thirty, you planned to go to Sandface Mountain to open a magic jade."
Mine, you are forty-five this year? You have come up with the idea of this wanted criminal again. The plan is getting more and more stingy, and it is really getting more and more useless. "
"No. He is becoming more and more promising. Because he is becoming more and more down-to-earth. When he is eighty years old, he can plan to marry Queen Catherine."
"Hahaha, just think of a way to become a cardinal. That's more practical."
The big man blushed amidst the roaring laughter of the crowd and shouted: "Do you think I'm bragging? I already have detailed plans and steps. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you..."
"Sure enough, we have improved. We have improved a lot. After we return to Erathia, we will go to the cathedral to apply. No, let's just change our route to Celeste tomorrow." Everyone laughed again. Even the three werewolves showed smiles.
Although they may not understand the ridiculousness in the language, they can clearly feel the liveliness and friendly atmosphere in the crowd.
A handsome young man with a red scarf sitting next to the big man patted him on the back: "I appreciate your kindness in helping me buy a sword. Regardless of your character, just because of your appearance, monkey
I don’t dare to let my guard down casually in front of you.”
Nestling next to the young man was a girl wearing a magician's robe. The weathered look on her face could not conceal her extraordinary delicate beauty. Her appearance was similar to that of the young man, and it was clear that they were two brothers and sisters. She also looked at them.
The half-drunk mercenary smiled: "Last time, a rich man wanted to buy a senior magician title for his son in the Tower of Fang. He took 500 gold coins to find the owner of the Tower of Flame. As a result, Esrita
The Lord casually melted the five hundred gold coins into juice and burned his hands. How much money are you going to take?"
The big man seemed to want to argue for his ambition, but looking at the roar of laughter, he felt that it would only add more jokes. So he sat down angrily and unwillingly.
The young man continued to pat the big man on the back and said with a smile: "Even if you were lucky enough to be able to see that person and then you were lucky enough to step on you again and he was not wary of you and exposed his back to you, but
Just like that, can you kill him? That's the guy who assassinated Bishop Ronis and Duke Mrak, and then broke out among tens of thousands of guards. He also knows necromancy magic and can't even spit.
Can turn you into a zombie."
"Tch. What kind of necromancy magic? That guy is using the name of the Necromancer Guild to deceive you. There is no need to be afraid." The big man pulled out a nose hair angrily and said with a grin. "The Necromancer Guild has already spread the word.
, can those guys still lie? Even a few old guys in our guild have been mobilized for this, so that guy is already dead."
Some time ago, the leaders of several of the largest organizations in the mainland, such as the Thieves Guild, the Adventurer Guild and the Tower of Teeth, received a letter made of gold foil and engraved with white gold thread. The exquisite letter also had a small letter inlaid on it.
Little Magic Amethyst Skull. The content of the letter is that the criminal wanted by the whole continent has nothing to do with the Necromancer Guild from the beginning to the end. And because this person's misbehavior has extremely damaged the reputation of the Necromancer Guild, it is impossible to catch this person or find out
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of this man can get thanks from Diya Valley..
This is the first time in so many years that Diyagu has publicly revealed his feelings to the outside world, which of course caused a great shock. It is certain that this news is not a prank by others. The reason is not only the extravagance, exquisiteness and weirdness of the letter itself,
What's more critical is the way the letter appeared. The leaders of the guilds and organizations were thousands of miles apart in the far north and south of the mainland, but they all saw an owl flying to them at midnight on the same day with this notice in its mouth.
in front of.
If the Ionfast Empire's reward has ignited a fire, then this announcement from Diyagu is like a big barrel of oil. It can't help but eliminate people's original scruples about the possibility of Diyagu being behind this wanted criminal, making it even more exciting.
A large number of people who originally did not value gold coins very much. The Guild of the Dead is not just synonymous with terror and evil. Under the mysterious and terrifying veil are absolutely unimaginable magic items, legendary scrolls, and perhaps dark magic and
The secret of necromancy. There are definitely not a few people who dream of joining the most mysterious organization on the continent. Unfortunately, Diya Valley's unfriendly attitude towards visitors is as loud and sinister as its reputation. But now that it is open to outsiders, it provides a place that can be touched.
Its path is like a shadow hidden under a dangerous black veil that suddenly stretches out a jade-fingered lotus root arm. For those countless people who walk in the darkness and have a strong interest in the darkness itself, all passions
and blood boiled under this announcement.
But there is a more subtle thing that these mercenaries knew but didn't pay much attention to. That is, it is said that His Majesty the Pope also received such a letter. Although the church did not make any statement on this, but many times it is not
A statement is already a statement.
"I heard that that day in the capital of the Ironfast Empire, that man sat on the stolen flying dragon and descended from the sky amidst thousands of troops to rescue his then lover..." The magician girl Ai Yimei looked at the bonfire.
, trying hard to imagine the spectacular scene at that time in his mind, the expression on his face was a little crazy. "This is simply a story like a legend..."
"This beautiful lady, please calm down. Please remember that this is not a fairy tale, and the protagonist is not a prince charming. The person he saved was just a bait. The princess was lying to him just to catch this wanted criminal.
You're trying to put someone in a trap." The young man with the turban patted his sister on the head and raised the cross on his chest with a smile. It was actually a magic ornament worn by the clergy of the church. "Lord, please forgive that noble man.
Miss. She sacrificed her body for justice. This is really a noble spirit of sacrifice. I heard that the princess was really beautiful..."
Some mercenaries were shouting: "This little guy is having sex. Go back to Erathia and ask you to eat meat..."
"Please be pious when you call the Lord." An old man among the businessmen glared at the man who was shouting nonsense, and looked at the young man seriously.
"Yes. Grandpa Lelas." The young man Yabin smiled, nodded and put down the cross.
The old man sighed. He had wanted to train this child to be a paladin since he was a child, but it seemed that the character could not be cultivated by just giving instructions. The same was true for his sister Ai Yimei, who finally sent her to the Fang of the Eastern Continent.
Ta went to study magic, but some time ago he felt sorry for him and let a prisoner go without permission, but he was expelled and sent back. If he can get a senior magician certificate and then go to the monastery, he might be able to go to Celeste for further training in a few years.
.
Old man Lelas was once the pastor of the Church of Erathia. Later, he contradicted Celeste's messenger during a meeting about personnel transfers, and was dismissed and expelled from the church. However, his devout belief in the God of Light did not
Not weakened by this. These two brothers and sisters were the orphans he chose to adopt after he was dismissed from the church. He really regarded these two brothers and sisters as his biological grandchildren.
Yabin looked at the three werewolves opposite and asked: "Hey, have you seen that guy in person? I heard that the peace treaty between Eufu and Ironfast seemed to be about this person representing the emperor when he was at the magic academy.
Come here to sign the contract." This was his third trip to Eufu, and he was used to getting along with these huge furry orcs. He didn't care too much about the old events before he was born. From a personal feeling,
These werewolves are also easy to get along with, even a little simple-minded and honest.
"Never seen it." The three werewolves shook their heads.
Yabin also shook his head and sighed, and said: "Speaking of which, this guy is really doing well in Ironfast. If he is a little patient, he may be able to find a cardinal position after Bishop Ronis retires.
"I don't know what is going on in that guy's head." He simply walked over to sit down next to the werewolf and asked, "That guy was able to steal a two-legged flying dragon right under your nose. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"
"The wyvern... was raised by half-animals and lizardmen. We... don't know." The werewolves stammered and struggled to answer. It was really difficult for them to speak human language.
"May the Lord bless you and cure your stuttering problem. Haha." Yabin smiled and raised the cross to a werewolf. The werewolf snorted.
Old man Lelas looked at Yabin with a dark face and said: "The Lord said, there can be no other gods except me. Therefore, if you are not the people of God, you are a heretic. It is absolutely impossible for these barbaric orcs to convert to the glory of God."
Yes. It’s really imprudent for you to do this.”
Although he has been a businessman for so many years, old man Lelas' devout faith has not been stained by money in the slightest. Such occasional sudden seriousness often makes his companions feel uncomfortable. Especially the last month, His Majesty the Pope suddenly started
Expressing dissatisfaction with Eufor, a city that obviously cannot have a foothold for the church, saying that those savage beasts and God's people can live on an equal footing is simply blasphemy to God. The businessmen don't care much about this, after all, the gold is shining
The gold coins were not given to them by God, and these words of His Majesty the Pope were just words. But old man Lelas believed deeply in His Majesty the Pope's holy metaphors. If he was not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, he would definitely not
To this brutal and dirty city.
"The Lord said that all living beings are equal." Yabin looked at him and smiled. Old man Lelas shook his head and sighed. Yabin patted the werewolf's generous and hairy back and said, "Please don't mind."
My sister Ai Yimei also came over and said to the werewolf: "My grandfather is actually a very good person. You will know it after you have been with him for a long time." Although it was her first time to come to Oufu, it was her first time to see these bodies.
Huge orc, but not scary at all.
"The old man is too serious." Someone among the businessmen laughed. For the pastor, being expelled from the church was a great shame, so old man Lelas did not tell anyone about his past experience. In the eyes of the people in the chamber of commerce,
He is just an ordinary old man with relatively pious beliefs.
The werewolf showed a smile that might be a friendly smile, but the fangs exposed on his mouth looked a bit ferocious. "It doesn't matter. Our city...lord said... everyone has the freedom to believe... and the freedom to speak...
.”
"May the Lord bless those who can say such things." Yabin smiled.
At this moment, three werewolves suddenly stood up from the ground.
The werewolf's movements were very fast, as if someone had stabbed him with a knife. Even the hair on his body stood on end, and his three pairs of green eyes stared straight into the woods.
The others were stunned. They followed the werewolves' line of sight and looked over there, but in human eyes it was only pitch black. No matter how strong the bonfire was, it only illuminated a small area in the wild woods.
And there are indeed no sounds or strange feelings around. This place is close to the border of Erathia, and there are three werewolves in the team. The big-eared monsters should not make random decisions. And there is absolutely nothing in this area.
A beast that can make werewolves wary
"What's wrong?" Yabin asked the werewolf.
"You...didn't you hear? There is something..." the werewolf replied, and the three werewolves all picked up their weapons. The huge meteor hammer under their arm strength can make any beast and enemy timid.
"Thing? What thing?" Yabin and his companions tried their best to stare into the darkness, but in their sights there was only darkness, darkness, and silence.
"You... don't move, let's... go take a look..." The three werewolves walked towards the dark woods. Their figures quickly walked out of the firelight and disappeared into the darkness. I wonder if they were the footsteps of the werewolves.
It was so light, as if they had melted into the silent darkness of the forest. The three werewolves did not leave any traces or sounds, and just disappeared from people's sight and feeling. The forest in the darkness ahead seemed to have become
A huge monster swallowed them up silently.
The remaining people around the bonfire were a little at a loss. Everyone said nothing and looked at each other. The bonfire was still as strong as ever, with crackling sounds exploding from time to time, but the sounds that seemed so energetic just now broke out in the silence.
It's just a little weird.
Huchi. The Kodo breathed heavily, and many people were startled.
"There's nothing wrong with these three guys?" The big man named Zhen picked his nostrils stupidly. "Did they go to poop and pee together..." Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he yelled again.
"I see."
"What?" Several mercenary companions looked at him.
"Think about it, is there anything that they can feel that we can't?" The big man smiled mysteriously and said, "These three guys must have smelled the smell of the female wolf, but in front of us they couldn't.
I’m embarrassed to say it, so I walked away in this way.”
"Fuck you." Immediately someone threw a piece of mud over. Some people also laughed. The atmosphere relaxed a lot. During the laughter, people also felt that it was really not a big deal. Maybe it was the werewolf's own neurosis.
Maybe a group of monsters appeared out of nowhere.
Everyone was relaxed again. Only old man Lelas came over and said softly to Yabin: "Have you felt any magic fluctuations?"
"Magic fluctuations? No." Yabin was startled. "Have you felt it?" Although old man Lelas has been out of the church for a long time, he still prays and meditates quietly in his room every day.
Although the people in the Chamber of Commerce didn't know it, Yabin knew that his cultivation level was by no means inferior to any priest in the church, and in terms of the meditation and perception required by white magic, he had a keener sense of magic fluctuations than any other magic sect.
Old Man Lelas was wiggling his nose, as if he wanted to smell something unusual in the air, but in the end he shook his head, frowned and whispered: "Am I too sensitive..."
"I'm calling Ai Yimei. Let's work together to perform a water mirror reconnaissance technique?" Yabin said softly.
"Forget it. It's probably my misunderstanding. I'm older." Old Man Lelas shook his head. He didn't want other people in the Chamber of Commerce to know that he and Yabin knew magic, and it was also white magic. People outside the church use white magic.
Magic is a big taboo in Erathia, a religious country.
There was a faint sound, and the figures of three werewolves finally appeared within the range of the bonfire. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha..." The big man named Zhen laughed, picking his nose and walking towards the werewolf. "How is it? Are you guys enjoying yourself enough..."
The leader of the werewolf suddenly flew up with a punch. The fist, which was not much smaller than the nonsense man's head, hit his face and made a muffled sound mixed with the sound of cracking.
The big man's body was pulled back to the campfire by his head and face. The fingers he used to pick his nostrils were completely dug into his head, and his palms were completely shattered. Together with his facial features, they became pulpy and sunk into his head.
, an eyeball flew out and hung on the side of the head. The neck was also torn off by this force, and it became at least half as long as it was originally.
Everyone was completely stunned at first. Then several people shouted: "That's too much. He was just making a joke."
A shrill, wild and bloodthirsty howl suddenly rose from the ground. The violence and wildness in the howl overflowed beyond the scope of hearing, and could even be felt on the skin. The sound seemed not to come from the vocal cords, but purely from
These hallucinations were condensed from the bestial nature. The silent and boundless wilderness forest was immediately penetrated and filled with this sound. All the horses were frightened, struggling desperately and became restless. Even the Kodo beasts, which are known for their slowness, began to moo.
.
The three werewolves looked up to the sky, but there was no moon in the sky, and the clouds on the edge of the highland dimly blocked the light in the sky. The werewolves were howling so hysterically that their bodies were shaking and twitching.
Everyone was shocked, they could all hear that the cry didn't seem to be a joke.
The howling suddenly stopped, and the werewolf rushed towards the crowd. Under the firelight, the green eyes were full of blood, and the sharp white teeth were like daggers inserted upside down in the bloody mouth, and the bright red
His tongue hung on his lips and his saliva kept dripping down. This was definitely not a joke.
People's screams were mixed with howls of agony as soon as they started. The werewolf's movements were thousands of miles away from the reactions of ordinary people. Before the five businessmen had a chance to escape, they flew out under the swing of the meteor hammer. Three of their heads had already been
It was shattered everywhere like eggs struck by a heavy blow. One's chest was completely opened, and his ribs and fleshy internal organs were turned outside. Another one was almost beaten into two pieces at the waist.
The mercenaries subconsciously took up arms to resist, but in front of werewolves, especially werewolves who seemed to be crazy, ordinary humans were as fragile as bugs. Screams and wailings sounded one after another.
Yabin also raised the sword in his hand and was about to rush forward, but was held back by old man Lelas. There are usually not many priests in Erathia, which is prone to wars, but the combat experience of these priests who often go to the battlefield
The richness is by no means comparable to that of colleagues trained in the peaceful and peaceful magic academy of the Eastern Continent. Moreover, the old man also saw the key point. He said to Ai Yimei in a deep voice: "Quickly relieve their weakness and slowness."
Aiyimei hurriedly made gestures and recited incantations, but her eyes fell on the corpses next to them that were in horrible conditions, and her voice and hands were trembling. She usually didn't even dare to look at chickens being killed.
"Merciful Lord, please comfort that troubled heart." Yabin held his sister's hand. The pure and gentle waves of white magic passed through Aiyimei's heart, although it was impossible to really sweep away the fear and panic.
, but she also concentrated hard and continued to recite the mantra.
The movements of the three werewolves suddenly slowed down, and the mercenaries finally managed to resist. Being able to restrain the three werewolves at the same time, it seemed that the training and learning in the Tower of Fang was definitely not a waste of time.
Old Man Lelas kept chanting incantations in a low voice, and then stretched out his hand towards the werewolves. A white light enveloped the three werewolves from head to toe.
After the white light, the werewolf was not harmed at all, but the attack at hand stopped immediately, and the expression on his face changed from crazy to dull.
The remaining mercenaries and merchants finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were more surprised. They couldn't tell that the old man Lelas, who had always been ordinary in the caravan, was actually an expert in magic, and could miraculously do it at this time.
Take control of the situation.
Huh. A faint sound came from the darkness. The sound was very small and soft. If the werewolf hadn't stopped and the people were silent because of surprise, this extremely subtle sound would never have been noticed.
Choked. Yabin, who had been motionless, drew his sword in his hand and rushed in the direction of the sound. From the moment when old man Lelas grabbed him and used magic on the werewolf, he had already seen what happened.
That's it. Old man Lelas used white magic to purify the werewolf. It was used to remove negative magic, but it made the werewolf stop. This undoubtedly means that the werewolf's crazy attack was due to the influence of magic.
"In the name of the Lord, grant me the demon-breaking blade." The long sword buzzed, the sound was like a dragon, and the snow-white Liang turned the long sword in his hand like a solidified light. Yabin jumped up and jumped over a still
The stunned werewolf has a posture as strong as an eagle. "The gift of the owner of the business, give me your blessing."
"Yabin, come back quickly." Old Relas shouted. His voice was hoarse and distorted due to nervousness.
