Hao Ren wondered why Ovra, as a dignified marshal, had to come here for a trip in person, but he couldn't find a chance to ask the question.After the marshal finished informing the matter, she casually asked about the situation of the mercenary group and the recovery of the temple orb, and it was not the first time that these things were asked, and of course everyone answered them fluently.In the end, Betsy took the initiative to ask the bearded man about their situation: "When will the four masters come back?"
”In fact, Betsy didn't pay attention to the four ascetics at all, she just wanted to increase her presence in front of Marshal Oprah.Opra shook her head: "The four masters will naturally rest in the priests' houses, and they will pray and meditate for a long time according to the canon, and you will probably not see each other until the next departure. ”Hao Ren had been thinking about other things, he was not interested in the so-called reward, and then he looked up and asked, "What's that......
Do I have to go to the royal capital to be rewarded?
”Ovra raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and her gaze stayed on Hao Ren's face for a long time: "What does this mean?"
”"We want to stay here and help," Hao Ren spread his hands, "I've seen the situation here, those stone giants are a big threat, and I'm very good at dealing with them, I think it's more valuable to stay here and help you fight than to go back to the royal capital to receive a reward." ”Hao Ren was talking about a high-sounding thing, of course he couldn't admit that the real reason why he wanted to stay was to study the secrets of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range and the Blood Lake - the wealth and fame of the Dream Plane were meaningless to him, and only by understanding the legend of the destruction of the world 10,000 years ago could he give him that level of salary......
But Ofra certainly didn't know what was going on in Hao Ren's mind, she was just surprised that this ordinary-looking "mercenary" could say this.She looked at Hao Ren fixedly for a while, as if she wanted to see the clues of hypocrisy from the latter's face, and then she stood up, the iron armor on her body rattled: "These things will be talked about later, one or two more can not change the situation, and what can really end the current chaos is still to rely on the knowledge of the Dictor of Gerton."
Of course, you can still apply to stay here to fight after you return from the royal capital, we have been short of people here for a long time. ”Obrah left this sentence and left, leaving without any delay.After the marshal left, Betsy dared to speak out, and then rushed to Hao Ren: "Hey, hey!
What did you just think!
What if Lord Ophora really thinks that you have the heart to serve the country with a fist and nod and cancel our reward!?
”Hao Ren squinted at Betsy: "Don't I still have important business to do - the reward on your side is of little use to me." ”Betsy almost jumped: "But for me......
Oh, it doesn't seem to be of much use to me......"
Hao Ren: "......
Okay, let's put these things in the future, we have limited time, and there shouldn't be much chance to turn back after going to the royal capital, and the next time we come in again, it may be a month later, and God knows how many accidents can happen in this place.I'm going to go to the mountains tonight, and you guys can help me go to other ...... too" Hao Ren discussed the night's actions without mentioning it, after Ophora left the rest place specially prepared for the mercenary group, he did not go to the church again, but rode his war horse directly through half of the town to the residence of the Kingdom Knights.In front of the Order's camp, an old man who looked like an ordinary groom was waiting, and Ophra turned over and dismounted, handing the reins to the old groom: "I have met with them all, including the four masters and the group of mercenaries who suddenly appeared. ”The old groom, who was leading the horse, silently followed Aufra and asked casually as if talking about the weather, "How is the situation?"
Is it true or false?
”The conversation between the two was completely muffled, but no one could hear what was going on as long as they were two meters away, and a strange mental distraction permeated Oprah, causing anyone who tried to eavesdrop on the conversation to hear a buzzing noise that kept echoing in their heads."
I didn't see the orb, but it should be on a certain master, they abide by the teachings, even in front of the rector they will not easily take out the orb for me to verify its authenticity, but the orb should be real," Ophra turned back with a nonchalant smile, "because those four masters are real, I can distinguish their breath." ”"Is there any doubt that the orb will return," said the old groom, who followed Aufra unhurriedly towards the depths of the camp, "and it seems that it was not anyone's arrangement.What's going on with those mercenaries?
”"They claim to be traveling mages from the northern Horna Empire, and they have traveled around to gain knowledge, and getting involved in the Orb incident and rescuing the four masters are basically coincidental, the whole story is leaky, only instinct makes me feel that they are hiding something," Ofrah's footsteps paused slightly, "Elson, what about the situation you investigated?"
”"They came out of nowhere, first in the town of Rumber in the southern part of the steppe, and no one knew about them until then, and they couldn't find their origin after searching the border crossing records.They had disappeared for more than a month, and the informant had almost broken his leg without finding the slightest clue.I've also found a few mercenaries who have been in contact with the group, and those who have mentioned that their fighting methods are unusually strange, not mages at all, not even any known combat class, more instinct and talent, maybe some kind of secret warrior we don't know about. ”Offrah lowered her eyes: "......
Isn't it haunted......
They suddenly disappeared and you couldn't find a clue?
Is your wolf's nose degenerate, or can they really jump out of the sky?
”"You're the same as before, you never laugh at your jokes," the old groom's expression remained the same, "Is there anything wrong with those mercenaries?"
”"They are all right, at least my hunting instincts can determine that they are not malicious, innocent, or even greedy.The last thing surprised me the most, their leader calmly tried to refuse the reward, there was no falsification in his mood, I even felt that the man's mind at that time was pure like a saint, he didn't even pay a ten-thousandth of his attention to fame and fortune at that time, but ......"
Ofra said this, and suddenly raised his head in a tone, "The unknown origin itself is the biggest problem. ”"Then go ahead and investigate," the old groom nodded, "though I don't think a group of mercenaries is of any note......
But your instincts are always accurate. ”"Instinct......
Ophra muttered to herself, looking up at the sky, "I hope my instinct will help me solve my troubles here."
I had a bad feeling that the Holy Land was shrouded in a dark cloud, and that some uncoordinated creatures were hiding around us—the only rector of Gerton who could calm the scene was an old priest who was more pious than adaptable. ”The undercurrent swells beneath this ancient and mysterious sacred place, but most of the people in the undercurrent are ignorant of it, just as they used to be, exhausted by the harassment of monsters, and more and more numb in battle.As night fell, the Dragonspine Mountains ended an unstable day, followed by an equally unstable night.Under the cover of night and shadow power, Hao Ren and the others left the town of Layton at the foot of the mountain and came to a high ground not far from the town."
Although I want to stay here and investigate the matter clearly, but when I go back and think about it, it is necessary to go to the royal capital," Hao Ren saw that everyone had arrived, and simply sat cross-legged on the ground, "It is said that the royal capital has a large library that stores various files accumulated over the past thousand years since the founding of Horletta, and there are also secret archives handed down from the last civilization in the cathedral and the royal palace, which are necessary to investigate."
We will spend a lot of energy in this world, and it is necessary to integrate into the upper class of society here, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of this canonization.Tonight, let's just investigate the Golem's movements, mainly to find out how much the Dragonspine Mountains have changed since we left here for two months.And then there's the Blood Lake - Vivien and Lily, you two are fast, go to the Blood Lake again, I'm still very concerned about that tunnel, last time we only went in one direction, this time you go over and see where the other direction of the tunnel leads. ”Lily looked a little excited, obviously this kind of "no one secretly acted in the middle of the night" made her feel very powerful, and when she heard Hao Ren's instructions, she nodded immediately, jumped on the big rock next to her and howled: "Whew-Wow!
”The howl of wolves echoed in the mountains and forests, and Vivian rushed up quickly but still didn't cover it......
"It's okay," Hao Ren shook his head, "It's normal to have wolves in the mountains." ”Vivien glared: "But it's not normal to pick up a king after the wolf howls!"
”Hao Ren waved his hand and looked at Yitzax: "You and Betsy together, you have strong combat power, Betsy has rich local experience, you two go to the main peak in the north, it is said that it is one of the several peaks where the stone giants are proliferating, and observe whether there is any change in the division and proliferation of monsters, especially when those monsters split but did not attack the town, what are they doing."
I always thought that a brainless creature like Golem would not make such a clever move as a planned attack, but they did design a sneak attack and broke through the defense line half a month ago. ”"Finally, I will go to the 'overpass' in the south with Nangong May to have a look," Hao Ren threw the data terminal in his hand, "A mountain will not deform out of thin air, there must be some secret there, the locals don't have energy detectors, hehe, I have." ”(To be continued.) )
