, Chapter 2 of Paying Debts. I am so happy to settle my debts for the rest of my life.)
After leaving the underground of Mount Goss, traveling becomes easier.
Even though the Dark Swamp is difficult and dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people, for a semi-legendary magician, the terrain actually does not pose any obstacle. The disaster aura that he constantly exudes from his body makes some people nervous.
Low-level aberrations and magical creatures fled in all directions, not to mention the beasts in the jungle.
When the mage passes by, even the most ferocious beasts will huddle in the grass and tremble.
Just because I spent a lot of time underground, supplies became increasingly scarce. In the humid and sultry environment of the forest, the little girl's spicy noodles quickly went moldy. She ate the biltong bought from Huoash Town.
After that, the three of them ate sour pancakes for a few days. It was a bit unbearable to have a miserable face all day long. In the end, the little lady with purple eyes used the "Heroes' Feast" spell to save the three of them from the fire and water.
Among them, they really had a good meal. That night, the little girl even dreamed of stroking her round belly and burping.
Just using the Huanhuan magic to prepare food is really a bit of a luxury.
When they finally arrived in Green Town, the three of them contacted the tragic dragon who had been resurrected from the local temple and his girlfriend. They learned from him that Karges and his girlfriend had not died, but they arrived in Green Town one day earlier than the three of them.
The town and left, said to be heading towards Gravel Town; at this time, Green Town had been occupied by the Hand of Despair and the Wild Heart Guild. About three days ago, they launched a joint siege against the Bloody Slayer and captured this small town.
Town, the Bloody Slayers suffered setbacks almost everywhere during the battle. Not only did they lose their elite scout troops, it is said that the Silent Slayers also suffered heavy losses in the battle.
In Xiao Fen's view, the defeated Bloody Slayer had to retreat and hide in the dark forest; but if the hands of despair pushed further and pushed the front closer to Gravel Town, then they would have no way to retreat.
Zi Tong still transformed into the mage commander and returned to the Hand of Despair, bringing important news to Xiao Fen and the others. In addition to the elite troops of a detachment of the Federation, the Hand of Despair gathered here.
The force has become increasingly large, reaching almost two to three columns, including at least one main column.
Such changes in the situation made Xiao Fen feel pressed for time. Ji Ge, who had originally planned to rest in Green Town for a while, had to make temporary changes, so Li Xuan set off for Gravel Town. However, one trouble was that the hand of despair controlled the people of Green Town.
Food and some daily supplies were traded, including the sale of flour, arrows and whiteboard equipment. They walked around the town and found that there was no place where they dared to sell more than two days of stored food. Moreover, the town controlled the outside population.
Extremely strict, Xiao Fen also has a wanted order for himself posted by the Hand of Despair, which really makes him dumbfounded. Fortunately, there is a little lady with purple eyes to protect her. Although the little girl is not old, she gives people a reliable feeling.
The feeling, and it seems that her status in the hands of despair is not low.
What bothered him was that the planner of the Hand of Despair executed every aspect of the plan meticulously. Even as Zi Tong, he could not purchase too many supplies. In the end, the little lady decided to go on her own.
Stay in the hands of despair and give your share of supplies to Xiao Fen and the little girl.
But even if the food problem cannot be solved, the mage can only go on the road with limited reserves. It is expected to take a week to reach Gravel Town, but the food reserve is only more than a day. Although it will not starve to death in five or six days, it is still in a state of lack of physical strength.
Adventures in the wild must bear certain risks. On the other hand, the reason that forced him to go on the road was that in a hotel in Green Town called the "Twelve-foot Funnel", he taught a man who was in the swamp outside. Although passers-by asked him,
The mage raised his glass and applauded, but the fact that these guys who were afraid of the world would applaud no matter who they beat up did not mean that they were reliable.
However, it was the innkeeper who praised the mage. He angrily expressed his dissatisfaction with the arrogance of the two new guild members, and then praised the mystery and power of the mage's spells. The innkeeper said that he had not seen it for a long time.
Being used to these guys cheating on food and drink, he claimed that the Master was the second person in the past few days who dared to teach these ignorant young men.
Xiao Fen asked who the first person who dared to take action was. At first, he thought it was Kargas, but the boss told him that it was a woman traveling alone. He mentioned that the woman was traveling alone and was wearing
A long gray-black cloak. When he arrived at this place about two days ago, he ordered a glass of Gray Elf's Yinghuo wine. The fat boss reiterated that the other party must have come here because of this wine, because there was no other place within a hundred miles.
There are two hotels that sell this kind of wine. Of course, he also specially recommended it to the mage, but Xiao Fen declined with a smile.
The system is always trying to recover gold coins from players, so he should not be taken advantage of.
But he became curious about the mysterious lady. The hotel owner mentioned that the lady seemed a little cold and not as good-tempered as the little girl (actually she was not good-tempered, but she just let Xiao Fen take action first)
, the group of players just asked her to sit with them, and they were thrown out of the hotel one by one.
This description made the little girl's eyes sparkle when she heard it, and she was filled with admiration. However, what Xiao Fen thought more about was that powerful people seemed to have gathered in this area, including Karges, Zitong, the female knight Ellie, and himself.
, plus that mysterious lady, these are top-notch existences among the players, and now they are all here at the invitation of the Bloody Slayer. Is it because the Bloody Slayer feels that he can no longer hold on and is asking for foreign help?
Xiao Fen didn't think so. In his case,
He held a crystal cup and shook his wrist, causing the emerald-colored liquid inside to slosh around. This wine is called Forest Dream, which is a type of fruit wine made by wild elves. It has a mellow taste but will not make people drunk.
, is the favorite of mages, but you can only buy it cheaper in this far southern forest. In other places, the price is clearly marked at least ten gold coins. Even if mages are rich, they are not so squandering.
Besides, he didn't really like drinking. The little girl was holding a wooden cup of steaming milk. This thing was a rarity here, but Xiao Fen knew that this little princess of the paladin liked to drink a glass of milk to relieve her fatigue after a long journey.
Her body relaxed, so she ordered a drink for her. In return, the little girl looked at her with a look that was so moved. "Although Sophia has always been pampered in Shining Gold Coins, everyone likes her, even if it's something like wrought iron and frogs."
He was verbally at odds with the little girl, but in fact he still gave in to her in everything.
The simple beauty of the little girl can make everyone feel friendly. Although she is a bit stupid sometimes, she does not hide her bad side. What's more, she has her own way. As long as she sticks to her own path and is determined, hope is there.
Ahead, it doesn't matter even if your thinking goes in a straight line to the end. Besides, it's not that the little sheep head reacts slowly, it's just that his thinking method is too straightforward.
But what everyone likes the most is that she doesn't get worse because of being pampered. The little girl has always insisted on her own way of playing - happy adventures, and strives to make others as happy as herself. Just like the angry Maggie
Han told her that her path is to protect her, not to exist in this world as a sharp sword like himself, making people awe and fear.
Such hope does not seem so great, but it is real. At least fundamentally it has transcended the hands of despair. If we cannot make the world perfect, but we can at least make it better, maybe a little.
Yatou cannot let everyone share the light and hope in her heart, but she can at least make those around her happy.
If everyone did this, the world might not be able to become a more perfect place.
The process may be long, but at least someone is doing it, right?
When Xiao Fen thought of this, he couldn't help but put the cup on the table because he thought of a person. He had seen a lot of life and death in Canaan, but he had never been so shocked as that time. If he was
For an orphan, it was the first time that someone could penetrate so deeply into his heart. It was like a bright gaze that penetrated his soul.
That gaze is like a warm light, which makes anyone's heart open up and warm up. Such an infectious gaze must be possible because the heart itself is also warm and bright.
That person was Captain Tiya, and we only spent a few hours together with him.
"Even if I fall, I can still see the shining stairs above the kingdom of heaven. The people who walk with me, walking on that ladder, are always moving towards the light that separates the dark clouds. On that silver ladder, perhaps there will always be
Some people prostrate themselves, but generations after generations take up their faith, and eventually some people will reach the shining kingdom of heaven."
He put down the cup and asked, "Little girl."
"Huh?" Sophia was holding her own milk and swaying restlessly, but at this time she stopped and looked at her captain in confusion.
"If you get to know the Grand Leader, she will definitely like you very much." Xiao Fen recovered from his memories, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, and couldn't help but smile. About the Grand Leader
He only told Yun Na and Xue about everything. Other than that, only Griffin and the witch girl knew about it. To others, he just briefly mentioned the process of the mission in the dream.
"Grand leader? Who is that?"
"Do you know that female knight Aihe? She is..." The mage was about to say something, but was interrupted by a burst of noise outside.
This made him frown, because first of all Xiao Fen didn't like being interrupted by inexplicable people when he was talking, and secondly, he didn't like being interrupted by inexplicable people when he was recalling the things he liked.
Finally, especially when this memory is still related to the grand leader.
Some people are such a person. When she is alive, she is a shining beacon, guiding people in the direction of hope and faith. Even the most indifferent and insensitive people will be infected by her. She was born to be a king, but maybe she is not a real one.
A king, but people can't help but be convinced. Because this person has no doubts in his heart, he can be firm enough to give people the courage to follow her.
If there really is such a person, then Grand Leader Tia must be among them. She even impressed Xiao Fen for a time. You must know that our mage has always been famous for his indifference and selfishness.
But the emotion of this memory has now turned into anger. To be honest, eating moldy pancakes this day or these days has been bad enough, otherwise Xiao Fen would not have got into a fight just because someone provoked the little girl.
, he may choose a more secretive method instead of directly throwing the other party out without face.
But now it is clear that people seeking revenge have come to the door. They are shouting outside the hotel and trying to force the mage out. As we all know, fighting on a battlefield preset by the mage is really terrible. No matter how many people there are, it is not enough.
Especially this is a senior mage. Everyone in the hotel turned their attention to the outside of the hotel. They ran to the window to watch, and then they all took a breath of air-conditioning. There were forty or fifty people outside, and several of them looked at it.
It seems that the level is not too low.
They immediately turned their attention back to see the mage's reaction. A few days ago, a black girl did the same, but in the end she escaped through the secret passage with the help of her boss.
The mage put down his wine glass, and the bottom of the glass made a soft sound when it hit the wooden bar.
Little girl Liu, I just told you that we will talk about it later when we have time. "Now we have some guys without eyes to deal with. Do you remember that time on the Coastal Plain?"
"Ah, brother Palin, are you talking about that time when those people bullied the Holy Wings? That time we severely taught those guys without eyes." The little girl couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard what the mage said.
From her point of view, these gamers who pretend to be powerful are really annoying, just like flies. Even the hotel owner doesn't like them, right? It's estimated that no one will like these people.
"Want to do it again?"
"Of course!" The little girl hurriedly downed half the glass of milk in one breath, then stretched out her hand to wipe away the white milk mark around her mouth. This action was really as temperamental as possible, making her look like a female barbarian. Then she
"I pulled out the sword with a pop. It frightened the fat boss behind the bar and took a step back.
Xiao Fen couldn't help but shake his head. This little rich lady became like this after hanging out with He'er for a while. Xue blamed him for not taking him well. But the little girl obviously has potential in this area, such as
She said that when her head gets hot and she gets into a fight, she often forgets the north, south, east, and west. In this regard, she and Wrought Iron can find a common language.
On the contrary, He Er looked crazy like a gust of wind. But when it came to big things, he was extremely calm. In battles, he could often see the situation clearly than anyone else. This elf girl was smart, as shrewd as most modern girls.
"Um, my lords, I have a secret passage, do you want to use it?" the innkeeper stammered, hiding behind the bar.
But Xiao Concubine placed a small bag of gold coins on the bar and replied: "No need, I will help you manage the public order in the town."
After saying these words, he took the girl out of the front door directly under everyone's surprised gaze. To be honest, he was more than surprised. There were Yang and idle players sitting in the hotel, but these people were afraid that the world would not be happy.
Although the chaotic guys are used to seeing fights, they have never seen them so arrogant. It seems that the forty or fifty players outside the hotel are not adventurers but a group of farmers with pitchforks.
This is no longer a matter of ignoring, this is fundamentally treating the other party as not existing.
For a while, there were gasping sounds in the hotel. The adventurers all opened their eyes wide, trying to see whether it was the mighty mage who beat the shit out of the other party, or whether he was beaten back by forty or fifty people as soon as he went out. But compared to
The former. Their lack of imagination is better able to describe the latter situation, but each of them has neither guessed the beginning nor the ending. In the words of a witness at the time: It has not even begun yet.
It has ended.
As soon as Xiao Fen opened the door, a barrage of crossbow arrows flew over from outside. However, there were no senior rangers on the other side. These arrows just hit his black light shield and were pushed aside by invisible force or directly broken in two. Xiao Fen saw that he
There was a small pile of arrows at his feet, and he looked at the other party again. The other party was slightly startled, and then he realized that he had encountered a troublesome person.
It was quiet for about a second or two, and then someone in the group separated from the crowd and probably wanted to come out and say something.
This is the normal process of player confrontation. First make a sneak attack to see if it can get in the way. If not, then negotiate. In fact, it is just talk. If the negotiation fails, the fight will continue, and then the losing side will drop some scenes. Everyone will also
They are used to this process, but now they meet someone who is not only not used to this process, but also doesn't really want to get used to it.
The mage's time is limited. Although he is too confident, he is not so eager to attract the hand of despair. Moreover, when he sees these people, he is not even in the mood to speak. Except for a few high-level people here, everyone else
They are just a bunch of rabble, and it would be a joke for a semi-legendary mage to escape in front of them.
What's more, since Wings of Shadow, Xiao Fen has found some patterns after several battles, and now he wants to take advantage of the large number of people to experiment with something.
Therefore, he directly let the book of doomsday with silver pages appear in front of him. Then he opened it and raised his staff with the other hand to make an arcane point floating on it disappear. The mage opened the huge silver book with his left hand, and the pages turned with a roar.
Flying to the Chapter of Broken and Disappeared Inheritance, his fingers slid down a little on the cold pages, and finally pointed to one of the lines
"Spellweaver O, master of the north wind and cold, please grant your followers power, spell,"
But just as he was reading this, the mage suddenly got stuck. His eyes were fixed on those lines of text, and he suddenly closed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Spellweaver Ou, the master of the north wind and cold, please give your followers power. The magic bloodline will appear on the bodies of future generations, so that your future generations can draw the domain of the north wind.
