The afternoon of early autumn seemed a little desolate, especially in the deserted land. This boring and desolate feeling can easily make people feel sleepy. But Xin Ke did not dare to take a nap. As a trainee recruit of the Lord Guard, he was destined to do more
Do some work and get paid less.
"But this is nothing. Once I become an official member of the Lord's Guard, life will be much easier." Xinke adjusted his posture and used the grass to better cover himself. The afternoon sun was very lazy, and if there was
A gentle wind came from the forest, carrying a hint of uneasiness.
"It's a damn good time to sleep." Zink yawned, looked up at the figure on the tree trunk, and thought with a hint of malice: "What if this pig falls down while sleeping?"
That’s good, at such a height, you’d have to break a leg at least.”
Unfortunately, Sink's curse seems to have no effect. As a veteran, Jamal obviously knows how to be lazy. No matter how ridiculous his sleeping position is, he will cling to the thick tree trunk to prevent himself from falling.
What a boring afternoon. Zink thought in his mind, who knows if the witch will come out of the forest again? Let us wait outside the forest, this idea is simply terrible - it's just between issuing orders.
The man was Drew, the captain of the Lord's Guard, and Zink could only criticize him severely in his heart. You know, in the stories about witches that Zink had heard, these unkempt guys were always mysterious and associated with spiders.
With toads as their companions, they appear and disappear, and when they see a normal person, they will scream horrible curses - this kind of person, Xin Ke would rather not meet him in his life.
Obviously, if Duran knew what the guy was thinking, he would probably kindly educate him on the difference between the witches of the Anze people and the wizards of the White Tower. Of course, whether the latter would appreciate it is another matter.
There was a faint sound in the grass in the distance. Xin Ke did not dare to neglect and shouted in a low voice: "Hey, Jamal, Jamal, wake up quickly, something seems to be wrong."
However, Sink's efforts were destined to be in vain. The veteran slept like a dead pig and could not wake up no matter how much he shouted. Sink was a little anxious and just wanted to climb up the tree to shout, but the footsteps coming from the jungle became clearer.
"Damn it, it's not really that witch, is it?" Xinke swallowed, calmed down, and buried himself deeply in the grass.
Now he could only hope that the visitor was just an ordinary hunter, or that the other party did not find Jamal sleeping dead in the tree.
"It's coming, it's coming..." Xinke, who was lying in the grass, clutched the weapon tightly and did not dare to let out a breath.
…
Turning a corner and leaving the shadow of the last mushroom that blocked the sky, the exit of the forest was right in front of you.
"It's not a perfect journey." Duran concluded casually. They walked out of the forest in twos and threes. At this moment, Simodo suddenly tilted his head and grinned at everyone, but his voice was very low: "
Maybe there are two wild cats hiding in the corner."
Kate and Erica both showed blank expressions, while Ironhide immediately added: "It's a poor disguise, human scent is too easy to distinguish."
"Sir, what should we do?" Simodo asked.
Dulan thought for a while: "They are just rookies. What I care more about are the people behind them. There are not many people wearing regular leather armor in this area. Nine times out of ten, they are the Lord Guards of Baisha Town."
Kate's expression changed: "You mean someone from the Lord's Guard is targeting us?"
Duran motioned for everyone to continue moving forward. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't be so nervous. The Lord's Guard is not scary. Maybe his target is not us, but I don't mind taking care of his minions before killing Andrew."
"
Dulan, a member of the Lord's Guard in Baisha Town, has long understood that although these guys who work for the tiger are out-and-out human beings, they have done a lot of bad things for Andrew. They bully the civilians and are proud of the dragon blood injected into them.
The blood pact is seen as a matter of pride, not a curse.
These people deserved their death, and Dulan had no intention of letting them go completely. Since they took the initiative to come to the door first, he might as well take them with him and deal with them first.
As an important means of maintaining the cruel rule of the Dragon Empire, the Dragon Blood Contract has played many disgraceful roles in Ruha's many years of rule. The high-level Dragon Blood Contract is where the Dragon People and even the dragons themselves exchange their vital blood
Injecting it into a human body as the basis of the contract can greatly improve the human's fighting ability and blood talent. On the other hand, after injecting the dragon's blood, the human must completely obey the orders of the dragon man or the dragon.
like
If the dragon who signed the dragon blood contract dies, the subordinates of the other party to the contract will also lose their lives within seven days. This cruel contract undoubtedly makes most humans angry, but a few are ambitious to gain powerful power.
Or people who want to get closer to the dragon society to improve their lives are flocking to this. They believe that receiving dragon blood is a kind of pride. Their descendants will have a certain chance of becoming dragon people, thus completely improving their society in the dragon empire.
status.
High-level dragon-blood contracts can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of humans, such as the Empire's famous Burning Blood Oath Legion. Most of these brave and capable knights have accepted the blood of the true dragon, so their combat effectiveness is very strong; while low-level dragon-blood contracts only have restraints.
, even if it’s a personal battle
The ability has been improved, which is better than nothing. The dragon blood contract obtained by these people in the Baisha Town Lord Guard obviously belongs to the latter - Andrew himself is just a gold-level mage, and his blood is not pure, so he can provide
The dragon's blood is naturally inferior.
"Then I'll kill them." Simodo eagerly raised the giant sword.
Dulan stopped him: "This would be too troublesome. Why don't we wait until they gather together and then we can catch them all. Ah ha, I remember there is a small valley not far to the east, where we can just send them a ride. According to them
With their distance and speed of assembly, they should not be able to catch up with us before reaching the valley. Erica, do you have any questions?"
The wizard shook his head: "I'll do it as you said, although I still don't understand what happened."
"Very good, let's go." Duran changed direction easily and walked towards the valley in his memory. He couldn't help complaining about the poor skills of the soldier who was ambushing in the grass and the other one who was sleeping carelessly in the tree trunk.
Idiot on.
I suppressed it for several times before I restrained myself from snatching you out with a crossbow... I hope you can move faster. Dulan thought happily, he couldn't wait to show off his rapidly improving martial arts.
…
"What a ghost..." Looking at the group of people walking away, Xin Ke couldn't help but wipe his sweat. He still couldn't suppress the trembling of his hands. "God, what did I see? An ogre!"
There is also a guy who you can tell is very powerful at first glance. His muscles are almost as strong as Captain Drew’s. His weapon is actually such a huge sword that I can’t even lift it with both hands! And
That witch looks exactly like the one in the portrait. I can’t mess with this group of people."
Seeing Duran and his party walking far away, Zink immediately climbed up the branch and called Jamal awake: "Wake up, Jamal, the wizard, the wizard has appeared."
Jamal was awakened with an angry look on his face: "Sink, are you afraid you haven't had enough punches?"
Xinke said in a low voice with a depressed face: "I saw with my own eyes that the witch just passed by here!"
"Then why didn't you catch her?" Jamal was even more dissatisfied: "Don't you always show off your courage and strength? How can you be a witch?"
Xinke cried sadly: "She has accomplices! There are quite a lot of them, and by the way, there is also an ogre!"
"Wizard, accomplice? Or ogre?" Jamal sneered: "I think you are probably hallucinating. Young man, have a good sleep. I hope you dream of a beautiful woman."
"Hey, Jamal, I swear on my life that everything I say is true!" Xinke said anxiously: "If we delay the captain's order, we may not be able to live without food!"
Under Xinke's intimidation, the confused veteran Youzi finally came to his senses. He turned over and jumped to the top of the tree skillfully, squatting and looking into the distance.
The plain to the north of the Mushroom Forest has a panoramic view.
"One, two, three, four, five, six... No, it's not six, it's five people, and a little lizard-like thing. Damn it, it's really a fucking wizard!" Jamal moved swiftly.
He jumped off the branch and shouted to Xin Ke: "Hurry up and inform the captain and others. I will follow them first. Remember to let [White Spot] smell my socks."
After saying that, he pulled out a sock from his boot and threw it to Sink, then followed quickly and nimbly.
"Are you sure this thing [white spots] can smell?" Xinke endured the smell and picked up the socks.
"Go away, if he doesn't listen to the captain, he will be torn apart."
