A roar that could pierce the eardrums sounded in the temporary camp. The birds perched on the trees were frightened and made a noisy scream. At the same time, in the open space where dozens of people were watching, the dust kicked up by the horse's hooves was already there.
fall.
Plop.
The sound of flesh falling, accompanied by the metallic sound of armor falling to the ground, and the overlapping music brought the battle to a halt.
In the center of the open space, the originally arrogant and arrogant guard leader had fallen off his horse, and the deep hole in his chest as big as a bowl showed the result of what had just happened.
Attacked by an unknown spell?
This is the subconscious thought of many people. After all, in the blink of an eye, before the knights who were galloping on war horses and holding knight's spears charged, they were still thinking about how the black-haired young man in front of them should deal with this sudden attack.
There was huge pressure, but in the next second, the pressure was like water droplets disintegrating in the water, causing a little ripple, and then quickly returned to calm.
At this time, Woody's heart was not as peaceful as he had imagined, when he pulled the trigger of this gun built of faith.
In addition to a large list of data that was crazily displayed in his field of vision, there was also a damage screen reflected on the knight's chest.
Judging from the appearance of the wound in the field of view, the wound where the guard leader was injured was very deep, so serious that you can see the white broken bone stubble under the yellow fat. The data also showed that he was seriously injured.
This is normal. After all, the fire gun made of faith is not an ordinary item he captured from the goblins, but belongs to the ranks of magic weapons. It is powerful enough to destroy the world, but its penetration is only used to defend against ordinary flying arrows and
The armor of the sword is more than enough, not to mention that it makes no sense that the curved sword can cut through, but the magic fire blunderbuss, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of the goblins in the past, cannot penetrate the defense.
But the real reason for the unrest was when Woody looked at the horrific blood-covered wound on the guard leader’s broken armor.
I saw strands of worm-like granulations at the wound, greedily sucking the surrounding blood. The appearance of the granulations is as harmless as seaweed drifting on the sea floor, shaking up and down. But if you look carefully, you will find that these granulations are constantly moving.
Stretching to increase their prey range, some tentacles have even explored the edge of the silver armor, while the bottom of the granulation thrives due to the swallowing of the tentacle tips, gradually turning into a part of flesh and blood.
The blood that was constantly pouring out stopped because of this, or in other words, after he fired, except for the blood that splashed out at the beginning, in less than five seconds, these granules blocked the flow of blood, killing the guard leader.
The injury stabilized.
Anyone who didn't know the reason would definitely attribute his strange recovery to his strong physique, or to the fact that the healing spell had blessed his body.
But as a veteran adventurer in his previous life, Woody could understand that this was not a buff, but a curse when he came into contact with the rotten smell that was vaguely present before.
The curse of immortality.
The greed for blood represents this body's yearning and desire for life.
They do not allow any bit of life to escape from the body they inhabit, and will greedily suck the last drop of blood.
Just when Woody was quietly thinking about how the guards of Riverdale City were infected with this curse, and whether there had been any undead disasters around the Golden River Valley in the previous life, or whether any famous tombs had been excavated.
The sound of galloping horse hooves and the shouts of those who came were heard in the distance.
"Stop! Stop it all!"
The person who came was an armored man wearing similar attire to the leader of the guards in River Valley Town. He was taller than the former. After hearing this, the other guards subconsciously stopped fighting the enemy in front of them, raised their swords, and saw him.
Afterwards, they all performed a standard knightly salute.
"Sir Fife!"
"Lord Fife!"
…
The crowd was separated again, but this time there were more guards, all fully armed, not even a single half-armor.
Everyone was surprised by the strength of the River Valley City guards, and their eyes were full of excellence. You must know that a perfect armor, even if it is crudely made, is an heirloom that can be passed down. The number of the baron's family does not exceed ten.
, and the River Valley City in front of them, which is at most a viscounty, can so easily come up with half a hundred, there may be more in the city-state... They can't help but be surprised.
Woody also followed the sound, and the curved sword he held in his hand was already in a sliding slashing posture. The faith that had originally dispersed in his left hand began to solidify, and the outline of the weapon began to quietly emerge again.
This man who suddenly broke in, named Fife, was riding a horse similar to that of the guard leader, but the color was different. But from the dead breath in his eyes and the sulfurous breath coming out of his mouth and nose, Woody could clearly understand this.
The mounts, like their owners, come from the most common war horses in the undead world.
Nightmare War Horse.
It's just that it hasn't been completely transformed into four hooves burning flames. The rotten skin and rotten meat hang on the smoked black skeleton of the horse. This is a precursor. He should have used some method to turn his mount into one.
It can be summoned, similar to the magic of Phantom Pony.
Favre, who got off the horse, had sharp eyes at this moment. Everyone watching looked at him and subconsciously stepped back and turned away, because apart from the majesty, this man's eyes also contained a hint of threat that ordinary people could not resist. Seeing his
At the same time, the body's instinctive self-protection begins to trigger, causing involuntary fear and fear, as if being stared at by a wild beast.
"Well, it's too late, he has already taken action..."
After Woody felt the tall knight's eyes focused on him, he responded with a rather interesting answer without hesitation.
"But I took your advice and asked him to stop now."
"No need to thank me, really."
Of course, his self-proclaimed humorous joke did not amuse the tall knight who had arrived after a long journey. Fife took a deep look at the black-haired young man in front of him, and his voice gave out a sound that did not belong to his previous drink.
The sound of silence is more like the friction sound of metal and stone.
Harsh and sharp, but without losing its majesty.
"Do you know what you are doing? Stranger!"
The cold tone combined with the sinister eyes made people shudder, but Woody seemed to be unaware and shook his head.
"I don't know, I only know that he wanted to kill me, but he wasn't good enough, so he is the one lying here."
It was a very simple and simple truth, and the Northerners of the Nudong Merchant Group around him couldn't help but cheer for him.
"Well said, Mr. Woody!"
"Yes, it was this knight who started it. He did it first. I prove it."
…
The onlookers' responses one after another made Fife, who was originally furious, suddenly stunned. He wanted to scold them to shut up, but when he saw the emblem belonging to the Raging Winter Merchant Group, he was slightly stunned.
As if reacting to something, he quickly looked around and found that most of the people around him were wearing the same emblem on their chests.
A white city in the snowy field, surrounded by spiers.
His knowledge and age clearly meant that he knew more than the leader of the guards, and he also understood what the symbol of Snowfield Spire meant.
The official trade group of the northern kingdom of Navia.
He lowered his head subconsciously and looked around, as if looking for something in the crowd. As someone who had known the Nudong Merchant Group system, he understood that the main reason why this business group was so famous was because of the strength of each business group.
Among them, there are spellcasters who are difficult for ordinary people to resist.
In other words, there is still a high-level spellcaster secretly watching.
Damn it!
How did this bastard Russ get into trouble with this business group!
Thinking of this, even though Fife was already forty years old, he still wanted to grit his teeth and pull up the guy who was lying like a dead dog in the open space, with only air coming out but no air in. He hit his chest and asked him why he wanted to do this.
Looking for trouble here, Viscount Cohen warned them not to provoke those mysterious spellcasters during this trip, but they didn't expect...
The expression hidden under Fife's helmet was uncertain for a moment, and he was also caught in the process of making a decision, because he knew that Ruth's purpose was to search for people related to the little bastard who dared to contact and trade with the outside world. This was Viscount Cohen.
Something he was extremely concerned about, but he also thought about Viscount Cohen's instructions before leaving, not to attract the attention of the spell caster. This... was a conflict.
Even though he was experienced, he didn't know how to solve the problem when he encountered Woody.
But time did not allow him to delay. The Viscount's mission had not been completed yet. But in the final analysis, the business group in front of him did not anger him. He also knew from other people that this black-haired young man was just that person's
I wandered around the stall and bought some unimportant herbs. It didn't really matter, but Russ wanted to bring everything involved back to Riverdale City.
But the current situation is definitely impossible, and Fife knows it very well.
Therefore, his last words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
"I understand, since it was Ruth who acted first, then everything he is doing now is his own fault."
"Someone, take him back."
Listening to the words spoken by this tall knight, anyone could hear his unwillingness. However, except for the guards, no one present would put himself in his shoes. They all cheered excitedly.
The sound seemed to be celebrating the victory of a certain general.
On the contrary, Woody's frown deepened. He was so provocative, but the tall knight in front of him just swallowed his anger and chose to be an ostrich?
But this has nothing to do with the way he angrily questioned him before.
However, when Woody thought about it for a moment, he realized that the fundamental reason for his change of attitude was when he was about to scold the crowd.
What did he see?,
Woody looked around and also noticed the members of the Nudong Merchant Group, but he did not think about it for a while. After all, Cecil had already left the Nudong Merchant Group. After a while, the guards carried away the guard leader who was lying on the ground.
, the tall knight apologetically expressed his admiration for Navia to the merchant leader Moente, and said that all actions were Rus's own initiative and had nothing to do with Viscount Cohen, and he suddenly came to his senses.
It turns out that he discovered the background of the Nudong Merchant Group, so it’s not surprising.
They must be worried about the high-level spellcasters stationed in the merchant group.
If there really is a fuss, these tin cans won't be enough to create a lightning storm or lightning beam.
But it was too scary, just like a mouse seeing a cat. Before leaving, it was afraid that the cat would miss it and take the initiative to tell it the location of other mice and urge it to go.
Woody couldn't help but think of the immortal curse lingering on the body of the knight he just knocked down...
Woody originally thought it was just a simple conflict or dispute between the lords, but he didn't expect that it also contained abnormal power.
It seems that there was indeed a hidden mission in the past of River Valley City.
It's just that before the players actually explored Asenland, a group of people had already arrived first and successfully rescued Riverdale City from this predicament.
Woody didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but because of the curse just now, he couldn't enter a meditative state anyway, so he gave up on taking the dark potion to enhance his immunity and chose to go out for a walk to relax.
Riverdale City guards can still be seen searching at any time in the temporary camp, but they seem to have been warned and basically stay away from the Furious Winter Merchant Group camp where Woody is.
It seems that it has not been found yet.
For some reason, Woody couldn't help but feel relieved when he looked at the busy guards.
I don’t know where that little guy is hiding, but it’s amazing that he hasn’t been found for so long.
Woody couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
At this moment, the chirping of birds sounded in his ears.
He looked up and found an ordinary night sparrow chirping, but the next moment he heard a familiar voice in his heart.
"Hey, Woody."
The voice of the bronze dragon Duni.
It seemed that the two of them really hadn't left. Woody suppressed the surprise in his eyes, kept his eyes calm, and then replied in his heart.
"Aren't you and Cecil watching the business group right now? How come you have time to come to me?"
"Cecile said she had found him. She didn't want my help, so she sent me away. Let me not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you something interesting. I found that guy..."
"found it?"
Woody was happy at first, but then he was stunned when he heard it.
"What did you find?"
"That's the guy you bought the herbs from."
Bronze Dragon Duni's voice is still as happy as ever, and you can imagine the look in her eyes now, like a cat discovering its favorite dried fish.
"Why are you looking for him?"
Although Woody is also interested, he is more interested in Cecil...
"I saw a very strong light of kindness in him, even stronger than you. I want to help him."
Doni said without hesitation.
"Okay, let's use camp detection again."
Woody looked at the night sparrow and knew that it had committed its old habit again, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Where is he now?"
…
Woody walked at a leisurely pace to the shore of a reflux in Maple Leaf Bay.
There are many reeds and overgrown weeds here, and you can often see wild swans flying out of them. However, it is November now, and due to the weather, the reeds here are sparse, and combined with the rushing and silent water, it looks a bit...
Desolate.
The river in Maple Bay Bay originates from the Gorgon Mountains, and then flows from east to west to Qianfanhai. It passes through forests and hills on the way, but does not pass through river valleys. Therefore, the water here is even clearer and has nothing to do with it.
Domestic garbage.
And where the reeds were close to the water, he also saw the short figure trying to get into the reeds.
