Chapter 211 The precursor of the war
The eldest brother who hurriedly followed out looked at Paladin who was walking swiftly, and his brows gradually wrinkled. I saw Paladin quickly coming to the edge of the forest nearby and standing firmly under a tree. The eldest brother, feeling strange in his heart, took a few steps forward and subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at his waist. He cautiously turned forward and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Paladin! What are you doing!"
As soon as the words fell, Paladin was immediately shocked. He held his trouser pockets with both hands and turned around. He looked at his elder brother innocently and said, "What are you doing? Of course it's convenient. You shouldn't do that to men, right?" The elder brother listened. Upon hearing these words, he immediately rolled his eyes helplessly. The hand resting on the hilt of the sword also dropped, and he cursed angrily: "Just pee, why are you running in such a hurry!" "What's the rush if you don't have to pee? My chief lord, your words are really interesting." .”
Seeing Paladin tightening his pants, the elder brother, who was worried for nothing, was about to step forward to tease this guy, when the grass hidden under the forest suddenly trembled. The vigilant elder brother immediately opened his eyes and drew out the long sword with lightning speed! But at this moment, the grass was suddenly pushed aside, and a human-shaped black shadow rolled out from it and fell to the ground with a thud. The elder brother who was about to unleash a thunderous strike just raised the cross sword in his hand. When he saw the guy on the ground, he immediately stopped and exclaimed: "Why is it you!"
At this time, the man lying on the ground with an ashen face was wearing a pure white divine robe, and the hand crossbow on his back had long been forgotten. The dilated pupils and chapped lips showed that the man was approaching death. He was the executive who escaped from the hands of the blood mage Ivan at the expense of three compatriots!
The eldest brother saw the subordinate's exhausted state and immediately knelt on the ground to help him up. Other executives and Morris who heard the noise ran out one after another, and the mercenaries and local residents wandering around immediately gathered around to watch the fun. Waves of discussion began to fill the air. Naturally, these people who focused all their attention on the executive officer who had not returned for a long time did not notice the murderous intent in the eyes of Paladin next to him.
"What happened? Where are the others?" The guys gathered around, and these well-trained executives immediately stood up in all directions to protect their companions and eldest brother in the center. Hearing his eldest brother's worried and vaguely angry question, the executive slowly raised his hand and pointed to the forest behind him. His weak voice was like a candle in a storm that might be extinguished at any time: "The dark wizard... Blood Mage...inside."
"What? Dark wizard, you have seen the dark wizard! Wake up, wake up!" The big brother with wide eyes immediately held the back of the executive's head and shook it repeatedly. But helplessly, the executive was obviously running all night with his life exhausted. Back. The already collapsed body immediately died under the disappearance of this obsession. The anxious elder brother quickly raised his head and shouted to Paladin next to him: "Quick! Use your healing technique!"
The latter immediately rushed over, and golden light fell from his hands on the executive's body. Following the power of Paladin, the executive turned his head persistently with a breath in his mouth and looked behind him. Finally, the destined death will die. It was as if a breath was pouring out from the executive officer's clenched steel teeth. A life just looked back at Enos's arms and passed away.
She felt that the child in her arms had no breath, and her dull and empty eyes were staring at the gloomy forest with unwillingness. The elder brother gently put down the body that was starting to become cold, and stood up with tears in his eyes. Looking at Morris, Paladin and others who were also looking at him. The eldest brother gently held up the cross on his chest, and all the executives also took out the cross in silence, and slowly recited a prayer to send away the souls of the deceased.
When it was time to recite it, the eldest brother, whose face was not only tired but also angry, pointed at Morris and said: "Bury him well, just bury him in the church cemetery." Morris held his head silently and led several of his men to pick up the body and leave. The eldest brother looked at Paladin who raised his head and looked at the sky indifferently, hesitated slightly, and then said: "There will be a meeting later, you can come and participate." "Yes, I will go."
After watching his elder brother leave, Paladin raised his head and looked at the sky again. Only he could see the soul rising slowly into the sky under the shroud of holy light. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a coldness like winter: "Failed, I didn't have time to kill you."
He casually extinguished the golden thunder that was already ready to strike, flashing at his fingertips. Paladin adjusted his expression and left. But this scene more or less frightened the mercenaries and residents who were watching. There has been peace for several months, are they innocent people going to be implicated again? In an instant, rumors spread among these ignorant people.
In the conference hall, the eldest brother summoned the remaining five chiefs and Paladin, as well as Kalechi and Long Aotian who were assisting. In a dim room, even a thin candle cannot provide enough brightness. The somewhat humid air is mixed with a hint of musty smell. The fire shone on the wrinkled face of the elder brother. He looked around and said very seriously: "My men, devout believers, risked their lives to report this news to us. It is conceivable that they suffered black trouble in the forest. A wizard’s attack. And it seems that the opponent’s rank is not low. He’s not even a person.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest brother picked up the water in front of the desk and took a sip, but the atmosphere suddenly became heavy because of these words. But I saw the eldest brother put down the cup and said softly: "The dark wizard is in the forest. Although we don't know whether this is a trap set by the Night Owls or a conspiracy. But our brother was attacked by the Night Owls deep in the forest. The attack by the dark wizard is a fact." Suddenly, the eldest brother stood up suddenly, pulled out the short knife from his waist, and nailed it to the table!
"Three days later, everyone is ready with enough food, equipped with weapons, and adjusted! We will go into the depths of this forest and take a look at these black reptiles that usually crawl underground. How dare they dare to do so openly? Attack us!" After saying this, the eldest brother saw the fighting spirit on his subordinates' faces and immediately waved his hand: "Go! The horn is playing. The blood on our holy sword has dried for too long!"
After the five chiefs agreed to leave the conference hall. The eldest brother turned to look at Long Aotian's handsome face and said: "Mr. Noven, the great magician of the Forest of Herlit Tower and the nobleman of the empire. This is no longer your war. You can leave with your entourage and friends. "What? Do you want me to run away? I am here to represent the Tower Forest. I will go wherever you go!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother turned around suddenly and looked at Long Aotian with disdain on his face: "Ghost, have you ever killed anyone?" "No, no. But..." "If you haven't killed, just be good. Go back! If you have never experienced life disappearing in your hands, with blood and brains splattered all over your body, and listening to the wailing of your companion with only half of his body lying on the ground, once you see such a scene, you will definitely turn around and run away. ! Huh, go back to your mother and drink nǎi, ghost."
"You!" Long Aotian was so stimulated by these words that his face flushed red. He stood up and pointed at his contemptuous elder brother. He snorted and turned away: "Damn the executioners of the Vatican, all go to hell! I don't care about you anymore!"
Seeing Long Aotian leave angrily, the eldest brother who was originally contemptuous suddenly showed helplessness on his face. Looking back at the calm Paladin and the indifferent Kalechi, Paladin immediately asked: "Why help him?" The eldest brother smiled incredulously and said: "A ghost, a good life should not leave unbearable regrets at this period. experience."
"I am also the ghost you are talking about. I am not much different in age from him." Paladin said this calmly, but the elder brother was slightly taken aback. Paladin's calm and indifferent temper made him ignore the man's true age. After being reminded by Paladin, he suddenly remembered that this guy was as big as that ghost. Thinking of this, the eldest brother couldn't help but look Paladin up and down.
"What we have to deal with are heretics who know evil magic. There is no need for the Viscount to continue to be stationed here. I will write a letter to you and give it to the Grand Duke to express my deep gratitude for his assistance." The eldest brother said from He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Kalechi. Kalechi immediately took the letter with great care. He no longer wants to stay here. Knowing that a dark wizard appeared again, he knew his own caliber very well. Don't forget Big Brother, he himself has proposed the idea of leaving. Now it's just right, it's a favor!
Seeing the joy on Kaleqi's face, the eldest brother turned to Paladin and said: "You should follow the Viscount and leave. There are endless methods of dark wizards, and there are also blood mages who are so powerful that they are difficult to guard against. This is not where you should fight. Place. Go back to your archdiocese, there are more believers waiting for your rescue." Paladin nodded silently and said nothing. This clone only has 500 elements. Once a melee breaks out, it will have no effect in a battle involving a great magician.
"Also, I have sent your letter of recommendation to the director. I believe that with your miraculous skills, you can definitely display your talents in the tribunal instead of being bored in the archdiocese." "Thank you, if you haven't Damn it, I will make a batch of equipment tailor-made for you." Paladin said with a smile on his face. He just wants to enter the court. The regular route from the priest to the top is too slow, but the special tribunal is a shortcut.
After watching the two people leave, the eldest brother looked at the empty room, suddenly frowned and murmured to himself: "The blood mages who have disappeared for a hundred years have come out. This time, can our faith still win?"
