The Blood Is Still Warm - The Devil's Rift Valley Expulsion Chapter 12: The Confused Rabbit
Hitz felt that there was nothing to do anyway, so he discussed it with Sophia. "I plan to refine something. It will take about an hour or two. How long will this journey take?" You can't refine on the carriage, just bump around.
It's a small matter if everything goes away, but it's a big deal if it blows up.
"It's impossible to alchemy safely in this environment. Heath, are you really a member of the Alchemist Industrial Co., Ltd.?" Because they are considered companions, Sophia is not so restrained in chatting.
"Well, because this is actually a spell, it doesn't even have a formula. You just need to transfer the energy as your own medium into absolutely pure water. I want to try it, but for the sake of safety, I'd better forget it..."
And Fageni decided to pass the time by discussing how to deal with sudden attacks with Morn on the road. After all, it was boring not to say anything.
"Speaking of which, I still don't know why we went to Haven Province." Moengnan asked.
"Find someone." Fageni said casually. After all, Alexander would explain the details himself.
"Is there such a thing? The enemy's own people?" Moeng Nan asked.
"Let's wait until we get there." Fageni shook his head.
"Why do I think our team is so mysterious?" Moengnan yawned. Fageni and Moengnan are also close combat members of the team. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they will become more familiar with each other.
Guidance. They talked about the current situation and the events of previous adventures.
There is no need to pay attention to the not too deep river on the left side of the road, and this road is also far away from the Aren Forest. Overall, the same scenery made Alexander fall into visual fatigue as he followed, but pay attention to the other people in the team
People can relax for a while, but the journey lasted until dusk.
On the right side of Alexander, after losing sight of the forest of wilderness for a quarter of an hour, the relatively flat road began to become rugged. At the limit of the left field of view, a not-so-high mountain range began to appear.
After a while, a small forest appeared in front of him. At this time, the businessman stopped the carriage and told the group that the area ahead was an area that needed to be carefully guarded. Bandits might be hiding here. However, from his expression, it seemed that there was no need to worry. After passing
After this small pause, the team continued on their way.
Alexander was very alert and patrolled around the team. Considering that activating the soul vision would cause the loss of normal vision, Moengnan did not activate the soul vision. Fageni even pulled out two knives.
Another quarter of an hour later, Alexander easily discovered two robbers thirty meters away on each side of the woods. There was also a tree trunk blocking the road trap in front of him. The four men were equipped with long-barreled muskets and short knives, but they did not have any weapons.
He moved to hide as much as possible, as if he had no intention of robbing you. There was also a cage covered with leaves, which could only hold a dog.
Since the road-blocking trap had not been put down, Alexander decided to wait until the team passed the trap and watched the movements of the four people calmly. The main reason was that she was sure that she could smash the tree trunk when it fell, or cut it when they cut it.
I shot them before the rope. As a result, the trap did not fall. After passing the part with the trap, I couldn't look at them anymore, so I had to turn around.
Resisting the urge to turn her head, Alexander pricked up her ears to eliminate the unnecessary noise. She captured the voice information of these people without any movement at all. They did not look like bandits, but like quality soldiers. They might be their targets.
is special.
[Is it an assassin, disguised as a robber...] Alexander decided to wait until the team had gone some distance before turning back to take care of this matter.
After walking for another half-quarter of an hour, the team was about to leave the grove. At the limit of Alexander's vision, a golden wheat field could be seen.
Alexander gestured to his two teammates to come closer, and then whispered: "There were a bunch of assassins disguised as bandits behind me just now. I don't know who they are waiting for. I plan to go back and see what's going on. You guys go first."
"If something like this happens, what will you do if you press me to death?" Moeng Nan replied in a low voice.
"Ah? What are you doing? What if it's like that scorpion again..." Fageni lowered his head. "I'll go with you." This time he was still responsible, but Alexander was really nosy.
"That's alright. Then Fagenius, you come with me." Alexander began to touch back.
"Then I won't go, I'll watch here." Moeng Nan followed the carriage just in case.
"Well... Sevin, please tell the merchants that we just lost something on the road and go back to look for it." After Alexander finished speaking, he returned. Fageni gave Moengnan a thumbs up.
Then he followed the archers.
After the two of them left, Moengnan told the businessman, "Those two just dropped the money in the woods and went to look for it. Let's leave first and don't worry about them." The latter was not suspicious, but let it go.
The carriage slowed down.
Alexander quietly approached to a distance of 200 feet, and then made a gesture to ask Fageni to hide behind her, while he remained in a position where he could see the four guys and hid to see what they wanted to do.
She waited patiently. This group of people must have obtained some precise information to ambush here.
Fageni fiddled with the handle of the knife, ready to meet Alexander at any time behind a tree not far away.
After a while, Alexander heard two guys talking quietly on the left side of the road - that is, the opposite side of the road where she was. The people and cages here were silent. Alexander tried hard to hear the conversation between the two people on the opposite side, although he failed.
But the conversation isn't over yet.
Alexander tried to enter that transcendental realm again, and she once again eliminated all unnecessary sounds, such as the rustling of the leaves in the wind, the flapping of birds' wings, the scratching of the ground by a small animal, etc.
"Are you sure that Baron Wren can be trusted? No matter what, they are also supporting the nobles."
"We must take risks. Once the regular army suppresses the Nangu Valley battlefield, we will lose."
"What about the Empire?"
"The Church of the Goddess of Dawn has done its best. We can no longer rely on them. This is our battle. Originally, this matter has nothing to do with Fernanda's priests."
"Okay, you are the leader so we will listen to you. I hope General Hawkeye can delay it for a while." The conversation ended here.
No words touched Alexander's memory, but they mentioned the empire and the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. They were gods in the sun domain together with the Church of the Holy God of Glory, and it was their duty to heal the injured.
The priest who believed in Fernanda in the town of Tours also provided help to Alexander and his party, and it was also through this opportunity that he met Brandon.
[Hmm... Sofia Fernanda's church? What do these people do?] Alexander thought about it and decided to take a risk. She gestured to Fageni behind her to tell him not to move.
, walked out of the hiding place: "Who are you? I heard you mentioned the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. Are you people related to the church? Why are you hiding here disguised as bandits?" Fageni also did not move, waiting quietly.
With.
After Alexander finished this action, and before the four people had recovered from their surprise, a slight feline purr came from the cage.
When the sun was about to set, Alexander and Fageni, who had just returned to the team, suddenly woke up. They lost consciousness at some point, and their bodies obviously walked back under the interference of external forces. If it was not a dream, the other party should not have any ill intentions.
Otherwise, things would be much worse than they are now. In the eyes of others, Alexander and Fageni just came back normally and waved their hands to indicate that they had found the wallet.
Fageni looked around confusedly and couldn't help but utter a question: "Huh?"
[What just happened?] Alexander looked at Fangni in horror. Fangni also looked at the former and said: "Are you too?"
"I don't know. Forget it, don't worry about it." Alexander felt that this was something he couldn't get involved in, so it would be best to escape first.
Fageni could only shrug his shoulders, pretending that he was dreaming just now. He continued to stand at the front of the team with Moengnan.
After calming down, Alexander found that there was something more in his memory. Probably when he walked back, he seemed to hear such a sentence: "Walking into this muddy water will not do you any good, just rot what you heard."
In my belly, you can be regarded as young humans with great potential, so don’t lose your life because of the war." It sounded like an old and lazy voice, and the memory of the timbre has been very blurry, so I can’t remember it well.
.
[Who is this? It’s so weird.] Alexander shook his head and could only keep this matter in mind and continue on his way.
A small breeze blew by, and the waves of wheat were very spectacular. The girl and the elf who noticed this had never seen this scene before. The three people walking could also see some farmers from a distance who had finished harvesting wheat near the village and were pushing forward.
The cart walked towards the village from another road. There was even a little boy who was chasing a blue butterfly and accidentally tripped over a scarecrow on the roadside. He was covered in dirt but stood up and continued chasing.
After entering the village, the businessman stopped the carriage, leaned on the carriage and got out of the car to talk to the farmers about accommodation. After negotiation with the businessman, the group stopped the carriage in a small courtyard of a farmer. And this
The farm is not big, and the male owner of this family may have built an extra side house to provide accommodation because businessmen often passed by.
Alexander went to check the room, then walked around the yard to see if there was anything suspicious, and then planned to help the farmer if he wanted to make dinner. He was a little too worried.
Fageni looked at the wheat fields outside the village and couldn't help but said: "Is it the harvest season now..." He had been holding these words in his stomach before on the road, but now he still vomited them out.
"These wheat fields are quite beautiful." Sofia on the side said something to Fageni.
"It looks beautiful now, but such a scene can tire a person out." Fageni patted the dust on his hands and planned to do something to help the farmers.
But in fact, there is nothing that the two of them can do to help or anything suspicious. The room allocation is like this. The three women live in the room of the eldest daughter who is married. The men live in the side room, and one person takes turns watching the two at night.
Hourly carriage. After eating a simple farmer's stew, the merchant went to rest early. The boy stayed on the first shift and the merchant stayed on the last shift.
"Speaking of which, how many days do we have to go?" After dinner, Sofia asked Alexander, who was looking at the map.
At this rate, it will take at least a month to reach the province of Haven. "Fifty or sixty days? Anyway, let's take turns to keep vigil." Alexander sighed for some reason.
After finishing the meal, thinking that there was nothing else to do, Sophia reviewed with Alexander the elemental blending she had taught before, and also recorded what happened today.
After eating, Hitz found a secluded place to refine Angel Tears. This spell is a special spell in the magic book she holds. It is obviously an arcane spell, but it can be created with a divine ritual.
A liquid with almost the same properties as holy water. In less than a quarter of an hour, a bottle of potion glowing with golden light appeared in the test tube in Hitz's hand.
The long road without attacks lasted for nearly a month. Although there were some blind bandits, they could not threaten the team at all. The five people completed the escort mission half a month ago and received the commission money. The nominal third
The Thirteen Mad Wolf Mercenary Group arrived at the second city in the Anguikulori Province - Kazanmanra. Like the previous city, it was just a large town with walls.
Alexander looked at the town, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We're finally here." Then he walked towards the city gate, preparing to enter the city, and asked the guard about the location of the countercurrent trading house.
"Finally we're here. It's good to have no dangers on this journey." Sofia followed her teammates and prepared to enter Kazanmanla. She didn't visit much in the city she went to before, so she set off immediately after resting for a night.
"I'm a little sad that I couldn't make more money on the way." Mo Engnan was still worried about the debt he owed, and the dragon crystal had really given him too many benefits.
"Do you expect those thieves who came to rob us without opening their eyes to have money? Forget it..." Alexander was rarely in the mood to complain about Moengnan.
"Life is not easy, you should go and steal their nest." Moeng Nan continued to smile playfully.
"I don't know if the money in this place is worth it." Fageni looked at the group in front of which there were only a few people entering the city.
Time jumps back to when the great amnesia occurred.
Buryusili Alliance - Kingdom of Ankuiku - Haven Province - In a cave in the Biyuan Mountains.
In the dark cave, the confused man who had just woken up relied on instinct to touch a piece of flint from his hand. He spent some time lighting a white candle on the stone table.
This cave only had two stone beds filled with hay and a stone table. The notes on the stone table allowed this confused man with white rabbit ears to temporarily confirm his identity - Karin Thaddeus.
Karin Thaddeus, who barely recovered a little memory through his notes, thought that there was no point in continuing to stay in this place. He walked out of the cave with the weapon left by his teacher - the short gun "Silent".
Gray mountains, lush grasslands, beautiful starry skies, and gentle winds were all commonplace things in "memory", but Carlin was not touched by them.
One month later.
With the guidance of memory fragments, Kalin came to a tribe of rabbit demi-humans. Here he found his parents, two brothers, and a lovely sister who were still building but had long forgotten him. The entire tribe suffered from amnesia.
However, within this month, the memory fragments of the tribe members were re-established through mutual verification of bloodlines - Karin was not among them.
Kalin is a redundant person in this family, but as a "hunter", Kalin is much stronger than other hunters in the tribe, not only with tools, but also with skills, physical fitness, etc.
"This is not my destination." Karin also felt this way from time to time, and the thought of leaving the tribe kept crossing his mind.
In the end, Kalin left his parents a lot of silver coins in exchange for his prey, then left the tribe and followed a group of demi-human traders to larger tribes and the legendary "human" territory.
Finally, after traveling through several tribes, Kalin headed to a human city alone. In human territory, he acquired a lot of historical knowledge about the grasslands and learned about human beings' cunning character and strong creativity.
Perhaps due to the spread of dwarf craftsmanship, there are many adventurers and mercenaries who use firearms in human territories. Karin, who has some alchemy skills, also learned how to prepare gunpowder.
As a lone adventurer, Karin also enjoyed a small reputation among the mercenary guilds in Luori Province, and as a result, he also accumulated some wealth.
On the second day of the second week of the Drought Month in the second year of the Great Amnesia, an unknown spellcaster just moved his fingers and cast an extremely powerful magic - the earth cracked open in an instant, swallowing up a group of people.
The dragon also left a huge crack permanently.
After the Mercenary Industry Corporation learned of this shocking news, it appointed famous adventurers and mercenaries to go to the newly formed Great Rift Valley to retrieve the materials from the earth dragons. It was obvious that the unknown powerful spell user
Don't miss these materials.
However, when they actually descended to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley where light could only be seen at noon, where the earth dragons fell to death, the adventurers and mercenaries discovered that the outer wall of a dwarf ruin actually leaked out of the bottom of the Great Rift Valley.
Therefore, the name Blood Rock Barrier quickly spread among the mercenaries, and Carlin naturally learned the news. Not long after, ICBC issued a mission to explore the Blood Rock Barrier. As a product produced using dwarf technology, Kalin
As an adventurer with weapons, this is naturally a huge opportunity for him. Many related commissions have been posted, and many people will definitely sign up to participate in this exploration.
After Carlin learned about the ruins, he immediately rushed in the direction of ICBC. He planned to get a related commission, hoping to make a fortune. [How come things like appreciating the scenery are always accompanied by danger... Such a big thing
, there must be a lot of people, why not join a team.] The rabbit man was thinking about it, and by the way, he used his racial advantage to listen to what the adventurers and mercenaries on the road were discussing.
The lobby of the Mercenary Industrial Company is already crowded with adventurers and mercenaries. Some mercenaries are loudly shouting for adventurers who need specific positions to join the team, and some are discussing with other teammates which task to receive. There are even some who are alone.
The adventurers took the opportunity to start promoting how awesome they were, and the staff were currently maintaining the minimum order. This chapter has been completed!
