Chapter two hundred and forty seventh road encounter
Sitting in the corner of the tavern, an indigenous elder named Lal looked excited.
However, he did not notice that beside him, listening to his story, there was a native whose face changed slightly, and then quickly turned into an excited look.
They didn't stay in this tavern for too long. After leaving two people to guard here, Lal led the rest of the people and walked outside, seemingly preparing to call someone.
"Have you left already?"
On the other side, feeling that the spiritual imprint he had left was getting further and further away, Adil didn't pay much attention to it, but walked directly to Sol's room on the other side.
In Sol's room, Yana was sitting on a wooden chair, breathing heavily and looking very tired.
It seems that because she is close to the source of the curse, or perhaps because the seal placed by Adier is about to disappear, during this period, the frequency of curse attacks on the girl has increased, and now it occurs almost several times a day.
On her forehead, the black mark had become extremely obvious and had begun to spread downwards, extending to the girl's neck.
"how's it going?"
Walking into the room and seeing Yana's weak appearance, Adil first frowned and then asked Thor.
"I feel...so bad."
Next to Sol, Yana's face was pale, her whole body was trembling slightly at this time, and she spoke in a weak voice, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Beside her, Sol's face was silent, holding the child with one arm, and holding Yana's hand with the other, trying to bring some warmth to her.
Standing in front of Yana, he roughly checked the condition of her body. Adier took out a few bottles of potion for her to drink, and then let her lie down on the wooden bed.
After drinking the potion, the black curse on her body began to fade, and the purple blood power in her body began to be activated. It instinctively cooperated with the seal left on her body to suppress the black curse mark.
After a while, the black mark on her neck was suppressed, and she no longer felt so uncomfortable. She fell asleep on the wooden bed holding her child.
After watching this scene carefully, Sol breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at Adil gratefully.
"Let's go out and talk. Don't disturb their rest."
Standing in the room, he glanced at Yana and her daughter lying on the wooden bed, Adil spoke softly, and then walked out of the room first.
Behind him, Sol carefully closed the wooden door and walked out.
"What's going on with her is very bad."
After walking out of the door, Adil looked at the scenery in the distance and said, "You should be able to feel it. As we get closer to the source of the curse, the curse in your bodies begins to become active."
Standing on Adil's side and listening to Adil's words, Thor did not speak, but silently took off the bandage from his forehead.
He took out the bandage that had been covering his forehead. On his forehead, you could clearly see a black mark, with the appearance of a snake faintly emerging on it.
"Sure enough, the curse on you is about to break out."
Looking at the black mark on Sol's forehead, Adil didn't feel surprised, and just said quietly: "Can it still remain stable?"
"There won't be any problems in the short term."
Sol shook his head, then smiled bitterly: "But once I return to my hometown, I'm afraid it won't be stable. It is estimated that the period of stability will become shorter and shorter."
"Yana is getting worse and worse."
Adil said calmly: "It's still too late to send her back now."
"She didn't agree."
Sol smiled bitterly and shook his head: "She said that if we succeed, it doesn't matter whether she goes or not. But if we fail, she also hopes to die in her hometown with me."
"In fact, at this point, we have already given up hope of surviving."
He said: "I just hope that our children will not follow our old path, and it is best to spend this life in peace."
"Don't worry."
Adil raised his head and stared into the distance: "She is my student, no matter what, I will take good care of her."
"And if everything goes well this time, you will be able to watch her grow up in person."
"I hope so."
Thor shook his head, with a wry smile on his face.
They chatted there for a while, then separated and returned to their respective rooms.
The next day, when it got light, they set off again and continued their journey.
They hired a fairly spacious carriage in the local town and several guides who were familiar with the surrounding terrain, and set off directly.
They spent several days on the road until noon one day.
At noon, in a patch of black soil, they stopped to rest and prepare to have lunch before starting their journey.
Some figures began to appear in the distance, wearing different clothes. At this time, they were riding a creature similar to a horse, but smaller, and ran quickly into the distance.
Behind them, there were some dark-skinned indigenous people, who seemed to number in the dozens, chasing after them.
"It's a Crassus!"
Next to Adil and the others, when he saw the chased people, the guide beside him exclaimed, with fear in his eyes.
As for Sol and Yana, they both raised their heads and looked into the distance at the same time, with obvious expressions of surprise on their faces.
"What's going on?" Looking at the figure in the distance, Thor slowly stood up, holding the sword on his waist with one hand, and asked calmly.
"It's the snake witch who is hunting those Crassus."
Seeing Sol's performance, the guide on the side explained, with fear in his eyes: "Sir, these two groups are not good people, we should get away as soon as possible!"
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Adil shook his head slightly and said these words with a calm face.
In the distance, the group of natives clearly spotted Adier and the others. At this time, they divided into a dozen people and walked towards Adier.
Seeing the natives in the distance walking towards them and standing beside them, the guide's face changed and he looked livid.
However, after looking at Adier beside him and Thor with a cold expression on his side, he still stood up with trembling legs and walked towards those people, preparing to negotiate with them.
He shouted several times in the local dialect into the distance, trying to negotiate with the other party.
However, looking at Adil and his group, it was clear that the natives opposite had no intention of doing so. They ignored the guide's words and rushed forward.
Watching this scene, Adil's face was calm and he didn't seem to have any reaction, but the guide's face was ashen.
Thor stood up from where he was and glanced at Adier. Seeing that he didn't move, he directly pulled out the sword in his hand and walked towards the natives.
Regarding this scene, the natives had a ferocious smile on their faces, and their eyes suddenly brightened when they saw the sword in Thor's hand.
The long sword in Thor's hand was given to him by Adil. It was made entirely of fine alchemical materials. It looked very precious and made the eyes of these natives who could only use simple weapons shine.
As for Thor, who rushed towards them with this long sword, in their opinion, he was just sending himself to death.
In this desert where knights and wizards do not exist, there are very few people who can face more than a dozen indigenous warriors alone.
Unfortunately, the Thor in front of him is the same one.
A purple light flashed across the sky quickly, accompanied by a scream.
Under the stunned gazes of several natives, Thor's eyes held a hint of purple. He swung out the silver sword in his hand, and a purple sword light suddenly erupted, killing several of the natives who were rushing forward.
This is the power of Thor's blood, which was highly visible in the battle at this time, directly giving him a powerful strength comparable to that of a knight.
"This...he is a Crassus!!"
The natives behind them immediately realized that the man in front of them, like the people they were chasing before, also belonged to the Crassus people.
The violence in their hearts disappeared instantly, but at the next moment, they looked at each other and continued to rush forward, trying to entangle their opponent.
"Who are our tribesmen?"
In the distance, when the Krasu people who were being hunted saw this scene, they couldn't help but stop and seemed a little hesitant.
"What now?"
They all looked at the middle-aged man in the middle, seemingly asking for his opinion.
This middle-aged man was wrapped in a black robe, with a hardened face with two scars, but a pair of sharp eyes. At this time, he only thought for a moment, and then said directly without hesitation: "Let's fight back!"
After listening to his words, the other people did not hesitate, directly picked up their weapons, drove the beasts in front of them and rushed forward.
Over there, Sol's performance continues.
He held a sword in one hand and a shield he had taken from the natives with the other hand. He rampaged there and cut down several people to the ground.
This terrifying fighting power stunned the natives present and could hardly believe their eyes.
"This power..."
Among the natives, watching Sol's performance from a distance, a middle-aged man with a cold face and only one eye couldn't help but be surprised: "In the territory of the snake god, not only did this Crassus not become weak, he was actually able to
Stay so strong."
"Didn't that guy Lal say a few days ago that he had discovered a direct blood descendant of the Crasu people? I'm afraid it's this guy." A sinister voice sounded from behind.
Behind the one-eyed man, a man whose whole body was wrapped in straps with only one face exposed came up from behind. Looking at Thor's performance, he couldn't help but have a fearful expression on his face.
"What should we do now?" He looked at the one-eyed man and asked.
"I'm afraid I have to leave first this time."
Looking at Thor in the distance, he hesitated for a moment, and then the one-eyed man said: "This Krasu man is too strong. If it's just the two of us, I'm afraid it will be a bit dangerous."
"It just so happens that Lal will be here in a few days. When he arrives, it won't be too late for us to get together."
He looked at his companions beside him and said this.
After a while, looking at Sol and others in the distance, they left quickly without any intention of staying here.
"Lord Thor!!"
On the other side, a surprised and surprised call sounded.
Next to Thor, the Krasu people who were being hunted before stood there. The leading middle-aged man had a surprised expression on his face, as if he didn't expect to see Thor here.
"Who are you?"
Being suddenly stopped by the other party, Sol was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked seriously at the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man in front of him was very tall, wearing a black leather armor, and holding a short knife in his hand. The muscles exposed all over his body looked very burly, and you could tell at a glance that he was a powerful warrior.
"You are Uncle Syl..."
Looking at the man in front of him, Sol seemed to have thought of something and finally said the name.
On the opposite side, when I heard Sol say this name, the middle-aged man opposite showed an excited expression on his face. He couldn't help but strode forward. Finally, he knelt down on one knee in front of Sol and performed a very ancient-looking gesture.
etiquette.
"You guys come here!"
Seemingly thinking of something, Ciel shouted to the other people behind him: "This is Master Saul, the next successor of our Crassus family!"
Behind them, the people in the back looked shocked when they heard Syl's words, and hurriedly stepped forward, just like Syl, and performed an ancient etiquette.
"You guys get up."
Seeing their appearance, Sol showed a wry smile on his face: "We have already reached this point. What use are our past identities now?"
"Come with me."
He looked at the people in front of him and said something, then quickly walked to the other side.
"These are your people?"
Walking up to Adier, looking at Sol in front of him, Adier asked.
"Yes."
A puzzled expression appeared on Thor's face: "They are indeed my tribe, and one of them was once my guard."
"It's just that I don't know how they escaped the curse."
He looked at Adier in front of him and said doubtfully.
He has a deep understanding of how difficult the curse is.
Before meeting Adil, he had only one way to avoid the curse, which was to weaken him by constantly staying away from the curse.
But even so, when time slowly passes, the curse rooted deep in the blood will still continue to erupt, and time can only be delayed more or less.
Since these people in front of them are Saul's tribe, they naturally have curses in their bodies. They are not far away from the source of the curse. According to normal circumstances, the curse should have broken out long ago.
Adil was also curious about this question, but he did not ask immediately. Instead, he asked Thor to settle those people down first and then ask.
"According to the elders, those curses are actually leaks of the Demon King's power."
At night, in the camp, facing Sol's question, the middle-aged man named Seal showed a wry smile, and there seemed to be some fear in his eyes: "When the curse broke out, the entire altar was affected."
"At that time, several elders took out several fragments of the sacred stone from the altar."
