The elf blacksmith fell to the ground after speaking.
The others were startled on the spot, Sauron thought he had exhausted all his energy and hung up directly, but soon there was a lot of snoring. He waved to the apprentices next to him, signaling them to move the elf blacksmith to the bed, and left a dozen Kindlers beside the furnace. In the past three days, these apprentices were also exhausted, their eyes were bloodshot, and their expressions were very tired. Sauron was very satisfied with the result of the forging, so he didn't mind giving him a little extra tip.
"Slay the dragon."
Sauron caressed the blade, curled his lips slightly and said, "This name is too unlucky. Let's call it [Larn]."
There are many equipment called dragon slaying in this world.
For example, there is a dragon-slaying sword in Baima City, but all the equipment with this name, and finally succeeded in slaying the dragon, seem to be cursed, and their owners often die at the hands of the dragon. Strictly speaking, Sauron didn't have much of a hobby for slaying dragons. Only when something that had to be done involved dragons, would he swing the butcher knife without hesitation. Laceration was an extraordinary weapon he had obtained before. Although it was not as good as the one in front of him, it was quite similar in every respect.
Although this scimitar is a first-order extraordinary weapon, its attributes have reached the second-order level!
It doesn't have any energy damage by itself, but the additional sharpness and penetration are quite strong. Gloria only added 2 points with the 'magic weapon', and the knife itself has 3 points of sharpness and penetration. If it is just a simple understanding, this knife can break through the natural armor with defense level +3, and the iconic creature is the ground dragon.
The natural defense dragon skin of the earth dragon is +3 protection level.
The last two attributes are the key. Toughness is the characteristic of forged weapons of the elves, and it is absolutely not easy to break and damage. Armor Breaking is generally an additional attribute added to fine gold, and it is very useful for dealing with dragons, demons, and liches. As long as it is a weapon with the armor-piercing attribute, it can basically break through the dragon scales, and it is also effective against warriors with full body armor. It is estimated that except for the full-body plate armor, which is difficult to break, the other scale armor and chain mail are just a matter of one or two knives.
Now that the weapon has been forged, there is no need for Sauron to stay here.
His injury has almost recovered two days ago, and he has studied about 70% of the spell of 'Charm to Human' in the past two days. The spell of charm is relatively difficult, and it is much more difficult to learn than other spells. Wanderers are people who can go and stay when they say it. After Sauron went to the hotel to pay the bill and gave Kindler a tip or two, he walked directly outside the village. His arrival did not alarm too many people, and not many people cared about his departure.
Adventurers are a group of passers-by, and they will stop in one place only when they are tired!
…
In the gloomy forest.
After entering the wilderness area, Sauron's vigilance began to increase in a straight line. Now he is going to go north along the elf forest. The distance may be thousands of kilometers. There is a frozen valley on the edge of the ice and snow country. Passing through this valley is to enter the kingdom of ice and snow, where there was once a big battlefield with many sunken underground ruins. What separates the North Land from the Land of Ice and Snow is an ice and snow mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. The two have become two completely different worlds due to their special geography.
Sauron moved forward very fast alone.
The extraordinary physique of 20 points ensured that he could keep jogging forward. As long as he did not exceed the range of physical energy consumption, his recovery speed was similar to the consumption speed. In just one morning, Sauron walked tens of kilometers, and the surrounding scenery changed greatly. The trees in front of him were basically as thick as three people hugging each other, and these trees had grown for at least a hundred years. The characteristics of the hinterland of the elves here, the longer the tree grows, the higher the number of years, and it is possible to meet the legendary beautiful dryad.
That is, the spiritual embodiment of nature!
Sauron's advance stopped suddenly. He frowned and pulled out the grass, and then squeezed out a rag. The cloth was very smooth to the touch, and there were traces of blood on it. There should have been a battle at this location, and it was within the last three days. The footprints on the ground were already blurred, but he still judged the direction of the battle based on his intuition.
He followed the trail for one or two hundred meters, and then saw obvious signs of battle, including tree branches cut by swords, and very dense footprints.
There was indeed a battle here!
Sauron observed for a while, and then prepared to leave. The reason he was concerned was whether there would be an ambush ahead. He was not at all interested in these occasional battles, because battles happened too frequently in this world.
In a flash!
Suo Ran's figure suddenly paused, and then he turned around and walked around a big tree. He seemed to see something just for a moment. What appeared in front of his eyes was a mark on a big tree in the sky. There were five claw marks one inch deep. It could be seen that the attacker was very powerful, and there was a piece of dried blood on the tree trunk.
Sauron's expression turned gloomy and cold in an instant, and his expression was a little ferocious. The murderous look on his face was extremely strong. He stretched out his palm and gestured at the five claw marks on the big tree, and then slowly pressed it on his back. . There are still five light red marks on his back. Even if the priest used healing spells, he could not completely erase the scars left by that fierce attack. Sauron silently held his hand on the scimitar, and then his figure gradually blurred, and finally completely disappeared into the shadows.
Those hunters!
They did not give up the hunting ritual, and they also hunted and killed another target during these three days.
Sauron would never mistake those five claw marks, and the black high-ranking wolf man almost killed him there. The killing intent in his heart made Sauron yearn for blood. His current injuries have basically recovered, and all the special abilities brought by the shadow fighters are there. Sauron, who just got the extraordinary weapon, is going to use the blood of these hunters to sacrifice the sword !
Alone, Sauron was unafraid of the numbers of his enemies, for he was a rogue, and shadows and forests were his best cover.
His figure disappeared in place, and the power of the shadow covered his traces.
Only when walking on the bright ground, can you see a blurry hazy figure. This is because the level of stealth skills is not enough. You must have more than 200 points of stealth skills to be invisible in places without shadows. But this doesn't matter too much to Sauron. Not investing most of his skill points in stealth also means that he has strengthened other combat abilities. The wizard's invisibility can completely replace the stealth effect if necessary.
"It looks like there are more than 20 people."
Sauron stopped and looked at the ground. The footprints on the ground were chaotic, but it could be seen that it was a circular encirclement. It didn't look like it was left when he was attacked, but more like a trace of someone retreating backward. He pulled out the grass in front of him, and there was a piece of cloth left by the thorns on it. The texture and fabric were similar to the previous one, but the pattern made him feel a little familiar. Pass?"
He identified the direction on the spot, and then continued to track along the trace.
Rogues are also good at tracking, otherwise the advanced professions of bounty hunters and assassins would not have multiplied. Sauron advanced about a kilometer or two and stopped in front of another big tree.
There are three claw marks on it, broken branches and shrubs nearby, and the sound of the river can be heard ahead.
"Looks like fighting here for a while."
Sauron stretched out his hand and picked up the soil on the ground. It was dark red soil, and the area looked quite large. Although the body was gone, there should have been a person down here. Judging by the blood stains, he was almost killed on the spot. Someone in front obviously split the bushes blocking the road with a sword. It seems that the people around them are not good at fighting, or are weaker, so that they need to protect their people to clear the way and cut down the bushes that affect the movement.
"Looks like they're dead!"
Although Sauron only saw traces of a person's death when he tracked here, according to his estimation, the other person should not be able to escape.
Protecting such a burden, it is basically impossible to escape the pursuit of hunters.
Lost track by the river.
There were no footprints on the opposite side, and it seemed that the fugitives hadn't crossed the river. Sauron walked along the river bank and soon discovered new clues.
He found a weapon, and torn fine armor.
"Elf stabbing sword?"
Sauron picked up the broken rapier, looked around, and said to himself: "Could it be the elf nobleman I met that day? His guards seem to be equipped with such equipment. No wonder I started to look very familiar, ordinary The elf patrols can't afford their expensive cloth, so that guy has encountered a hunter?"
The time should be three days ago.
Sauron met an elf nobleman in front of the temple of life in the village, who had part of the blood of the elf queen, and seemed to be a descendant of divine blood that had multiplied for many generations. They should have met hunters, and somehow they were regarded as new targets, and then there was an escape battle. His guards would definitely not be able to defeat a group of high-level hunters.
"If you want to catch up, you should be ahead."
Sauron's pupils shrank, his figure slipped into the shadows again, and then he sneaked towards the foot of the mountain ahead.
There are more mountains on the side of the Elven Forest, but they are not high. The terrain is a hilly area. According to Sauron's estimation, the group of Elven Guards can cover up to the foot of the mountain in front at most, and then they should be caught up by the hunters.
The distance is getting closer little by little.
Sauron stopped suddenly, then pulled out the scimitar clangingly, and his steps became much lighter.
There are still traces ahead.
It seems that the traces are obvious, at least a dozen signs of personal activities, and they should be left today. He also heard some vague voices. It seems that there are people in front, and the number exceeds double digits.
