117 Back
The survival challenge in the dark forest lasted a little longer than Shire expected.
On the first day, they met the group of demon monkeys with human faces and fled for six or seven hours under the pursuit of the demon monkeys. When they finally got rid of those guys, the forest had turned black.
Charles believed that after getting out of trouble, the church should stop and get them out.
But he took it for granted and did not see the shadow of the church all night, but instead kept making twists and turns.
It didn't take long for a group of rookies to find a place to rest in the forest. At about midnight, a group of monsters with enlarged black mosquitoes attacked from the sky again.
Shire's talent could not take effect at night, so he naturally had no deterrent power to these monsters. So the escape began again.
Unfortunately, the monsters I encountered this time are different from the last time. They have wings and are very fast.
So much so that the group of people finally had to rely on the hypnotic ability of the dream fairy and fell into a deep sleep like a monster.
It was not until the next day that the sunlight appeared that the group woke up from the surface of the forest and quickly fled before the monsters woke up.
It was just that getting rid of the second wave of monsters was not the point. When the people who were running and tired were thinking about how to find food, the third wave of monsters appeared again!
This is something similar to a maggot, hidden densely under the dead leaves on the surface. It was originally very inconspicuous, but when the big man was plundering food, he accidentally stepped on it and almost fell into it.
That's right, it's falling in - these "maggots" have hollowed out a large area of soil under the surface, forming a trap full of "life".
Fortunately, the short flame grabbed him in time, so there was no tragedy.
However, this also woke up those disgusting things, so that they began to pursue them relentlessly.
Therefore, Charles showed another talent ability - controlling the flames.
Charles can absorb and transfer flames close to him, while the short man can release that special fire-attribute attack.
So the two of them cooperated, released the other side, integrated the other side, and finally fired several large balls of fire to the ground to form a sea of fire, which burned the disgusting things clean.
But this is still not the end.
After the "maggots", they encountered a group of half a human tall blue spiders, flies the size of fists, and a large pile of black beetles with large and sharp mouthparts.
Every time, there is no danger, and every time it makes people feel embarrassed. But every time, everyone's understanding of their companions will be deeper.
For example, Connie, in addition to assisting spells, she also has a very special ability to save her life - she can support a special magic after brewing for a while, so that she will disappear from the world.
Even Charles couldn't find it.
This ability to save lives is excellent. It only needs to be maintained with all your strength, so naturally there is no way to attack. However, even so, it is enough to make others envious.
For example, the big round-faced man who doesn't usually speak much. In addition to the Paladin's ability, this guy also has very powerful beast language skills. It's hard to say about monsters he doesn't know, but as long as he knows, he can communicate and mislead easily.
There are also the short flame's picnic barbecue technique, the dream fairy's divination and prediction ability, and the blonde Betty's gossip talent, etc.
In addition to his special sun talent, Charles also showed very "learning" knowledge.
He was able to recognize the various animals and plants in the forest and know what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. Therefore, this group of people did not eventually starve to death here.
This also makes him have a high invisible status among this group of people.
But relatively speaking, Charles also learned something from them that he had not known.
For example, the church's development in the colony was not smooth, and it was difficult to encounter various forces, either open or hidden, and life was difficult. For example, the Thorn Church had an unclear relationship with the Star Spirit Society of the Old Continent.
For example, positions in the Gospel Department are actually very popular because in addition to writing articles to earn contributions, such positions can also "part-time" hunt demons.
In the Dulin Kingdom, there are dark sides, and both monsters and humans have contributed rewards.
Other positions may not be able to hunt at will due to their respective jobs, but positions like the Gospel Department have much higher degrees of freedom and can naturally earn extra money from time to time.
In short, although this period was boring for Shire, he also gained a lot.
However, this situation did not continue. On the ninth day of their arrival, a group of people who were originally surrounding the bonfire were suddenly wrapped in a burst of clear light, and then they disappeared into the forest.
Only the bright yellow bonfire was left in the spot burning in a trance, and a food similar to a pheasant inserted on the bonfire.
...
This time, Charles also noticed the sound of glass shattering, but there was not much time for him to think about it, and the whole world suddenly turned upside down.
After recovering again, he found himself in a study.
At the same time, a sentence rang in my ears.
"Sorry, everyone, because they need accurate positioning, they have only rescued you until now."
This is the study of the Gospel Department.
Even if Siegel was not sitting behind the desk, Shire could recognize it at a glance. What puzzled him was that the other party did not seem to admit that this was a trauma of the church?
He was puzzled by this, but the rookies who had just appeared here were not very careful. The sudden change of environment made them look a little dazed, but then they cheered excitedly.
"The Lord of Thorns is coming up again and finally comes out!"
"Thank you, thank you to the church, thank you Mr. Siegel!"
"That damn place is really not something that can be left alone."
"I want to have a good night's sleep!"
...
Facing this group of noisy young people, Siegelgan coughed, signaling them to be quiet, and then said: "The Necromancer is too rampant. He dares to imprison the church people in the Dulin royal city. But don't worry, they have been captured by the church. I believe the judgment will seek justice for you."
"Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to my superiors, alas." He sighed pretendingly, and then said, "But this is the work of the gospel department. Evil is raging in all countries and can encounter danger at any time. You must also be mentally prepared early."
These words made the novices look up, their excitement cooled down slightly, and they became much more serious.
Charles was speechless.
"But because of your reasons, the church has captured some necromancers who have conspired to create destruction, so I specially applied for a reward from the Archbishop."
Siegel said, and under the excited and anticipated eyes, he took out six booklets and six round and white glass rings from the drawer in the desk.
"These are spell manuals for lighting techniques. You can go back and practice well. Although it is not useful in normal times, the specific environment is still very effective."
After clicking his hand to explain the booklet, he picked up a "glass" ring and said, "This thing is a crystal weapon recently developed by the R&D department, and its effect is..."
It seemed that the story was not as intuitive as the actual operation, but Siegel did not explain it directly, but put the ring on the index finger of his right hand.
After chanting a short spell, he suddenly shook his hand and saw a white dagger appearing out of thin air in his hand.
Or it was not out of thin air. The sharp-eyed Charles could see that this thing was made by the rapid stretch of the ring he was wearing with the swing just now!
"You see, the ring can be transformed into a dagger or—it can be turned into a sword!"
He then shook his hand again, so the dagger directly extended into a single-handed sword as white as jade, but Siegel did not stop moving.
"It's okay, this way, this way..."
With his hand swing, whip, stick, hammer, hook... all kinds of weapons or non-weapons appeared in front of him one after another, and everyone was dazzled.
Siegel finally shook his hand, turned a scissors back into the shape of a ring, and then smiled at them: "The detailed operation method and spell are already sandwiched in the lighting technique. You can study it carefully when you go back. Have a good rest for a day and come to me to report the day after tomorrow at 7 o'clock the day after tomorrow."
"Sir, I want to ask, that..."
Before the short man's words were finished, Siegel was interrupted: "If it's not an urgent matter, I'll say it the day after tomorrow."
"All right."
Fire nodded and said nothing.
The same goes for others. Although there are still many questions to ask, they were driven out directly under Siegel's urge to be slightly impatient or guilty.
So this matter passed by "understand".
Everyone who was rescued and received some rewards left happily.
As Charles walked, he looked down at the reward he received, and he didn't know what to say.
Chapter completed!
