Assassin’s Chronicle

Chapter 74: Push your limits

Views:

It's starting to go bad, which means you can no longer bathe here. Susanna tested it with a cut unicorn horn and found that the purification ability was very poor. If she put the poisonous pond water in the horn, the pond water could be purified in a moment, but it would take a while to purify the entire pond water. That is far from enough. The horns now are dead things and cannot be compared with before.

Regardless of Niya's strong obstruction and the little guy's protest, An Fei just pressed the lump on the little guy's head into the pool of water. After waiting for a long time, it had no effect...

Huh... the little guy made a cry of grievance and looked up at An Fei. His light blue eyes had become tearful. He hoped that An Fei could compensate for the rude action just now. Unfortunately, An Fei But his thoughts have drifted to another place... An Fei doesn't care whether the pool water is poisonous or not. With a large group of magicians here, drinking water is not a problem. There is endless water element in the air, and the water element content in the forest is higher. For the sake of abundance, he doesn't have to worry about this.

"Suzanne, come with me." An Fei stood up.

"Ah..." Susanna was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and followed An Fei ten meters away.

When the little guy saw An Fei was about to leave, he forgot the grievance he had just felt in the blink of an eye, and jumped next to An Fei. High-level monsters are high-level monsters after all. It has only been two hours since the little guy started learning to walk. , you can run freely. There's just something wrong with his eyesight. He often makes a brief sliding movement in places where he shouldn't trip, and then falls heavily to the ground.

Susanna felt an inexplicable nervousness in her heart when she saw An Fei walking into the forest. In fact... in the eyes of discerning people, this kind of nervousness is completely unnecessary! If An Fei and Susanna had a fair fight, An Fei would never be Susanna's opponent. Is there any reason to be nervous

"An Fei. If you have anything to say, just tell me here." Susanna suddenly stopped, her eyes wandering, and she pinched the bark of the tree lightly and heavily with her hands. The unlucky old tree suffered an unreasonable disaster. A large piece of bark fell off over a long period of time.

"Huh?" An Fei looked at Susanna with a strange look, nodded and said, "That's fine."

"What on earth...is going on?"

"Suzanne. Do you feel like someone is watching us around?"

"No!" Susanna raised her head in surprise: "What, do you suspect someone is spying on us?"

"This is just my guess. I also hope that I am over-concerned, but..." An Fei pondered for a moment: "Suzanne, if you have time, you can walk around more and maybe you can find some clues."

"I understand, that night..." Before Susanna could finish her words, her face suddenly turned blood red. She remembered the inexplicable words An Fei said after catching her that night, but... she understood that she couldn't say it casually. ! Susanna wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"I did misunderstand you that night. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." This was the first time An Fei solemnly apologized in private.

"Nothing... the matter is over." Susanna said innocently. When a girl is tied up in that position, is it really said that she can get over it? Besides, she went to take a shower that day. She clearly remembered that the battle happened after she took off her clothes, but... An Fei had already said this, what else could she say? Suzanne decided to try to forget the past!

At this moment, there was a magic wave in the air. It was not An Fei who sensed it first, nor Susanna. The little guy suddenly turned his head and screamed in a low voice, and the fleshy lump on his head pointed to the sky. An Fei winked at Susanna and walked slowly out of the woods. Susanna still followed An Fei ten meters away.

Chris led Bravi and the other three down, and Chris was okay. The three Braves were covered in mud and rotten leaves and looked very embarrassed, but there was no blood on them.

"What happened?" An Fei asked hurriedly.

"Damn it! The manticore's lair was occupied by a group of wyverns, and we almost suffered a big loss!" Bravi spat bitterly.

"Wyvern?"

"I understand! That day I saw a wyvern appearing next to the manticore's lair. I didn't know what was going on at the time, but now I understand. It turned out that they were going to grab territory!" Susanna showed a look of sudden realization.

"Didn't you say that fierce conflicts rarely break out between high-level monsters?" An Fei asked.

"An Fei, you haven't seen a flying dragon, have you?"

"Riska told me briefly."

"Their bodies are like ducks, but their heads are very small. In order to fill their stomachs, wyverns only like to hunt large monsters, and then they often spend half a day eating. The wyverns have a very large appetite. An adult three-eyed demonic cow can only feed a tribe of flying dragons for two or three days. Therefore, the nest of the flying dragons is mobile. When all the large monsters around the nest are hunted by them, they must survive in order to survive. We need to change places." Susanna said

"The most indispensable thing in the Warcraft Forest...should be Warcraft, right?" An Fei asked.

"An Fei, you don't know how bipedal wyverns hunt. They are called forest lurkers! They also know that their speed is not fast enough and their flying method is clumsy, so they can only use lurking or staying still. They use two methods to hunt food: approaching food slowly. A group of bipedal flying dragons are all dispatched. The time it takes to catch a magic rabbit is about the same as the time it takes to catch a three-eyed magic cow. The magic rabbit is not enough for them. But the Three-Eyed Demonic Cow can make them worry about food for a few days. Do you think they will care about the little demonic beast?"

"Suzanne, it seems that you know the World of Warcraft Forest very well? I'm very surprised, then why didn't you make any preparations before coming to the World of Warcraft Forest?" An Fei said with a smile.

Susanna bit her lip and said softly: "That was an accident, and I don't know much about the Warcraft Forest. There are many secrets here that cannot be understood by humans!"

"In this case... let's not worry about that for the time being. Let's settle this place properly." An Fei was a little helpless. He didn't expect that he would be occupied by Warcraft... but he had just taken a risk and was not suitable for continuous combat.

Susanna, who is the main force, still hasn’t recovered, so she can only hold back for a while.

"No!" Susanna and Chris said in unison.

"Huh? Why?" An Fei was very surprised.

"An Fei, the wyvern is a forest lurker! If any of us fall into the trap, everyone except Susanna will suffer a big loss! Moreover, the wyvern's hunting range is very large, and they are very dangerous to us. It poses a big threat!" Chris said anxiously.

"Yes, An Fei, what Chris said makes sense! If the other party is a unicorn, we don't need to provoke it. As long as we don't invade its territory, it won't hurt us. But like a manticore, a bipedal lion, etc. High-level monsters like flying dragons need to be cleaned up as soon as possible!" Susanna continued.

An Fei lowered his head and pondered. Since the wyvern is a member of the high-level monsters, its strength must not be much different from that of the unicorn, manticore, etc. Moreover, the wyvern is a gregarious monster. He wants to eliminate the wyverns. Flying dragon is easier said than done! The most critical point is... Susanna has not recovered. According to Susanna before the first action, if she gathers all her fighting spirit, she can fight the manticore for a while, but her fighting spirit is limited, and her fighting power will become more and more powerful. Low, beyond the limit, even escape has become a luxury. And Susanna was forced to do that by the manticore, purely to protect Riska.

How could such a powerful thug not be put to good use? It’s also not in line with An Feidi’s character… I thought about it. Whether setting up an ambush or attacking frontally, Susanna is an indispensable role!

"Let's wait a few days and let everyone be more vigilant. If you want to go out, you must go together in a few people so that each other can be taken care of." An Fei finally shook his head: "Okay, we will talk about this later. Bravi, you guys go to rest first. Chris, how is the building over there?"

Seeing that An Fei changed the topic, Chris didn't offer any further opinions: "What else can I do... Anyway, it will tire everyone out."

Susanna sighed. There was a big gap between her and An Fei in terms of endurance. Once they understood the potential dangers. She always hopes to eliminate the danger as soon as possible, and An Fei's decision makes her feel depressed.

"It's getting dark." An Fei raised his head and looked at the sky: "Chris, let everyone go back and rest first, and we'll work again tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll notify them right away." Chris nodded.

Not long after An Fei and others returned to the cave, the workers who were building the houses also came back one after another. Although An Fei did not check the progress of the project, he could tell from the mental outlook of the workers The work was so strenuous that several of them even fell asleep on the grass-covered couches.

Maybe it's because everyone has good character, maybe it's because some kind of doctrine should, maybe, probably, almost be born in a small group. There was no cheating when working, everyone worked hard. And there are no complaints.

When Feiler announced the meal, the 'workers' jumped to their feet again. Feiler was surrounded tightly, and he ate like a storm, then fell back to sleep. Are they having a hard day? Not necessarily, eating well and sleeping well... are one of the great blessings in life!

No one in the entire team could sense that just opposite the cave, on a big tree near the edge of the grassland, Ernest let out a long sigh and clenched his right hand into a fist. When he opened his palms again, a ball of powder floated in the wind. Floated into the night sky.

Ernest is very depressed now. It is not difficult to understand if you think about it. He has been nervously looking for traces of an unknown wild flower for a long time. Now Ernest has suffered from a severe wild flower syndrome. Every time after finding the mark left by An Fei, Ernest couldn't help but grab the wild flowers in his hands and grind them into powder. The powder was so small that it could float in space...

If the search process lasts for a few more months, it is unknown whether Ernest will develop some pathological symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting after seeing the wild flowers. Fortunately, he finally found traces of An Fei and others today. !

Ernest originally wanted to meet An Fei secretly, but when he discovered the body of an adult unicorn with his powerful sensing ability, Ernest changed his mind. He couldn't think of An Fei. How did these people kill the unicorn, because Ernest couldn't do it!

Ernest was so shocked that he changed his mind. He wanted to follow An Fei and others secretly for a few days to see what else An Fei could do! As long as you can take action in time at the critical moment, that's fine. Only in danger can people gradually mature. This is how he trained his students back then...

At the same time, in the distant holy city, the late King Yolande of the Mayo Empire was sitting in a secret room, his face solemn, with a faint murderous aura, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something. Under Yolande, a group of light gray shadows stood there quietly, sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

"You mean... Philip rejected your request, is that right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Did you tell him about me?"

"No, Your Majesty, Philip is usually a willful person who doesn't know the importance of things. If he knows about you, he will probably leak the secret in his conversation, and the Alison Empire will be more vigilant."

"That's good." Yolander pondered for a moment: "Leave some of the Hurricane people to West to manage. The spies of the Alison Empire know the existence of the Hurricane. If the Hurricane doesn't move for a long time, it will cause them to suspicion."

"Understood, Your Majesty, but...which people should be entrusted to His Majesty's management?"

"You can handle these trivial matters yourself. You don't have to ask my opinion on everything." Yolande smiled: "Also, you can find a way to contact Philip again in the near future and let him return to the Holy City. Said...the country needs him!"

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, Philip is too emotional right now. My words will not have any impact on him."

"Let's give it a try. As an old friend, I don't want him to change from a hero of the country to a stumbling block to the country. If this change is really unchangeable... maybe I should take some extreme measures." Julande shook. Shaking his head: "I have waited for this opportunity for too long, in order to destroy the Dark Moon Magic Army of the Alison Empire.

The biggest threat to the Qingmao Empire, I... can do anything! No one is allowed to interfere with my plans! "

"Your Majesty, it's not like you don't know old Philip's temper. I think... we should find a way to find Niya in the Kram Forest, and then bring Niya back. The rest... let Philip handle it. That way Only then can his anger be quelled."

"Do you know what is the most important quality of a king?" Yolande smiled: "It is justice! Niya is young, willful and ignorant. If the little guys from other families do something bad outside, let him If Niya meets Niya, she will definitely be taught a lesson by Niya, but has Niya ever provoked Zeda? Never! She is not afraid of Zeda, but she doesn’t want to embarrass Sol. Zeda is simply a prodigal son, he Not even a little girl can compare. Where was he killed? It was at Sol's house! He took the guards to Sol's house to arrest people... Didn't he understand the consequences of doing this? Haha, if he knew, If he does it deliberately, then he is looking for death! If he doesn't know and is taken advantage of, then he deserves to die! No matter what, I have no reason to sympathize with him. "

"But…"

"There is no but, the trouble was started by someone from the Philip family. If you dare to provoke, you must have the courage to take responsibility! If Niya went to Philip's house and beat Zeda up, and was killed as a result, I would not Will favor Thor."

"Your Majesty, I admit that what you said makes sense, but... if Philip's anger is not vented, he will not return to the Holy City."

"If words can't change a person, then you might as well try sword and blood! If a family puts the interests of the family above the interests of the country, then... I have to doubt the necessity of their existence." Yolander waved his hand. : "Go and let Mioria come to see me."

"Your Majesty..." The gray figure trembled. He had been following Yolande for more than twenty years. No one knew better than him how ruthless Yolande was when he had the intention to kill.

"I will make one last attempt and let Philip choose his own destination." Yolande sighed softly, if there is a choice. He didn't want to go to the final step with Philip, but Philip had been making troubles recently, and he was completely fighting, which made Julande unbearable. For the entire layout, Julande has used all his power to the extreme, but now Philip is commanding his students to trace the whereabouts of An Fei and others. You must know that many of Philip's students hold senior positions in the army. If he continues to make trouble like this, it will seriously affect the army's command system!

What's even more outrageous is that one of Sol's students, Entos, who was training in the mercenary team, received Sol's letter and immediately returned home to help Sol. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by a group of people on the road, and Entos was seriously injured. Fortunately, Entos was already a high-level mage. At the critical moment, he released the scroll of the Gate of Time and Space and escaped from danger.

Although no one claimed responsibility for the incident, everyone with a discerning eye knew it. Who did this, or rather. Who ordered it! This made Yolande even more angry. Entos returned to serve in his country. Even if his strength is still far behind Thor, a high-level mage is also a strong help. What is the difference between Philip's approach and cannibalism

To a king, an obedient dog is more useful than a ferocious flying dragon! Thor is the representative of the magical power of the Mayo Empire, and Philip is the leader of the swordsmen of the Mayo Empire. The two have different personalities and completely different styles of behavior. Perhaps because of the small number of direct members of Philip's family, Philip has a strong sense of family status. Seize control of the students during holidays or birthdays. All of Philip's students must return to the Holy City to make the Philip family lively. This is not the case with Thor. Apart from magical guidance, he will not interfere in the students' private affairs easily and respects the students' own wishes. This is also the fundamental reason why Julande's relationship with Sordi has become closer and closer in recent years, and he has become more and more distant from Philip. The king does not want to see any confrontation or resistance to his royal power, and Philip's current approach will undoubtedly make the relationship between the two parties more tense.

*

Together.

An Fei was sweating profusely, and tried his best to block Susanna's sword moves while retreating. After several days of fighting, An Fei discovered how wise it was to agree in advance not to let Ernest use fighting spirit when he and Ernest were sparring. !

Susanna's swordsmanship is very simple, just chopping and stabbing, while An Fei's swordsmanship is very 'rich', with various tricks such as point, circle, strike, entanglement, shaking, scratching, buckling, etc., but the result of the competition is An Fei's. Fei had a clear disadvantage. In less than half an hour of competition, An Fei often had to retreat from one end of the grassland to the other...

For example, An Fei thought that he only needed to tap three to five inches in front of Susanna's sword tip to deflect Susanna's attack, and then he could Counterattack, but the results of repeated experiments clearly told him that he could not move...

Susanna's fighting spirit became surprisingly powerful and her speed became surprisingly fast. An Fei felt that Susanna's long sword was as if it was solidified in the air and was difficult to shake. The thrusting action was okay, but Susanna's chopping... An Fei had already given up on blocking. His arms, wrists, and fingers were so painful that they were cramping, and he didn't want to try again.

In fact, An Fei was mentally prepared. During their first fight in the pool that night, Susanna punched out but missed herself. The water brought up actually pulled out some of her hair. He had experienced it personally with Susanna. great people! However, it turned out that his preparation was still somewhat lacking.

Fortunately, although Susanna's attack was fast and fierce, it did not advance very fast, otherwise An Fei might have made a lot of fools of himself.

Finally, An Fei raised his right hand high, indicating that the morning exercise was over. Susanna sheathed her sword like a normal person, turned around and walked back. An Fei leaned on the sword on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Suzanne, have I made any progress today?"

Susanna turned back and glanced at An Fei, shrugged her shoulders, and said nothing...

An Fei smiled bitterly. He had a clear understanding of his position. He assassinated the old guy at Rose House that day.

Even though he was injured, he knocked away the heavy candlestick he was holding with one strike of his sword. Fei knew that he could deal with the swordsman, but he had to be more cautious when dealing with the swordsman.

"What's the air? It's not like you've never lost to me." An Fei couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. Although he didn't take face matters seriously and focused on how to quickly improve his strength, Susanna's The way he was too lazy to talk to him still made him a little angry.

"You have lost to me hundreds of times these days." Susanna did speak up this time, but it would be better not to say anything!

"..." An Fei was speechless, what can be done? Swordsmanship is very slow to improve if you practice hard on your own. It is best to find an opponent. Who else can you go to besides Susanna? Shouldn't we go find little Sariel...

An extremely unpleasant scream came. Susanna's footsteps stopped abruptly. She turned around and returned to An Fei in a few steps. She looked up into the air and saw a flying object similar to a whooper swan flying in the air. However, its neck is too long and its body is too big compared to a real swan.

Although this statement is a bit extreme, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense! An Fei never disturbed the wyvern, but the wyvern discovered this small grassland. They realized that the people below were not easy to mess with, and they just observed for a while and then flew to other places. But as the days passed, the wyverns became more and more courageous. At first, several wyverns flew over to take a look. Now one dares to come over and wander around, which is annoying.

"An Fei! We have to find a way to deal with these two-legged flying dragons! Do we have to wait until something happens to someone before we take action?" Susanna said with a solemn face.

"It's really time to take action..." An Fei nodded, remembering such a saying, which is to endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. Of course, this is from his own perspective. Have you thought about the other party? If he sees that you are easy to bully, he will bully you even harder. When I see you giving in, I will take advantage of you even more!

This wyvern is a perfect example! At first, they snooped around the grassland. Seeing that An Fei and others ignored them, they began to fly over the grassland non-stop. If everyone hadn't protected Niya, little Sharil and others who had no fighting ability, Maybe someone was attacked!

The wyvern didn't mess with Susanna. He spread his wings and flew towards the cave. Yesterday, it was Chris's turn to be on duty. He immediately released his floating technique and met the flying dragon. Then Zubin and Sanchez also ran out of the cave, guarding him on the left and right. next to Chris.

The flying dragon changed its direction and flew straight out of the grassland, leaving behind a series of hoarse screams, as if it was mocking Chris and the others.

"Let's go. Let's go there." An Fei said softly.

"Yeah." Susanna nodded.

The two people ran towards the cave one after another, Susanna followed closely behind An Fei. An Fei did not misjudge the person, since the last time he was in danger. She had firmly remembered the lesson, so when she heard the cry of the wyvern, she did not look for the location of the wyvern first, but returned to An Fei as soon as possible to protect An Fei.

Some people make little progress even if they suffer a hundred losses, while some people can really only fall on the same stone once. Susanna is undoubtedly the latter.

"An Fei, let's do it, we really can't stand these guys anymore!" Sanchez said angrily when he met An Fei.

"Yes. When we were collecting wood yesterday, there was a bipedal flying dragon that had been following us. We were collecting wood, and it was watching from a distance. When we were carrying the wood, it was following behind us, causing great harm to us. Everyone has been on tenterhooks." Zubin said with a wry smile.

"Suzanne, how is your health now?" An Fei asked.

"The strength of the wyvern is far inferior to that of the manticore. I think I can deal with it."

"In this case... let's discuss it together in the morning." An Fei thought for a moment: "Chris, is there anything good about the flying dragon? Don't waste it."

"Except for the usefulness of magic crystals and their fangs, they are full of garbage." Chris laughed: "So when the nobles of the upper class satirize people, they often say: as rotten as a two-legged dragon! Two feet Flying dragons are the most rubbish high-level monsters. This not only means that the strength of bipedal dragons is the worst among high-level monsters, but also that they can bring the least benefits to people."

"So that's it..." An Fei pondered. He had witnessed the benefits brought by the unicorn and the manticore with his own eyes. Needless to say, the blood of the unicorn and the magical and legendary Tears of the Stars, the unicorn The horns of the earth can detoxify, and if swallowed into powder, it is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life; the furs of unicorns and manticores can be turned into top-level magic leather armor in the hands of alchemists; arrowheads made from manticore teeth can The heavy armor worn by the piercing knight, if the arrow is added with the fire element, a big fireball will explode after the arrow hits the target, which is much more powerful than the big fireball released by the ordinary magician; there are also the claws of the manticore, Both unicorn and manticore bones are useful.

Although it is still raw material and must be turned into various magic props after finding a good alchemist worthy of the name, it can be said that high-level Warcraft is full of treasures! Of course, the wyvern is an exception.

An Fei's favorite is the manticore's tail needle, but it is too thick to hold and feels bad in the hand. After finding the alchemist, An Fei hopes that this tail needle can be turned into a short gun! Chris said that some of the magical effects can be left behind. Just like the horns of a unicorn still have a certain purification ability, people who are stabbed by the manticore's tail needles will also have a certain chance of causing a fossilized effect.

"Did the wyvern come to cause trouble again?" Niya rubbed her eyes and walked out of the cave. For safety, she couldn't go anywhere these days, and she was in a very bad mood.

"My body has recovered, An Fei!" Susanna realized that An Fei's delay in making a decision was because she was worried that her strength had not fully recovered, so she had to reiterate it in a heavier tone.

"Okay, tell everyone to get up." An Fei nodded.

(Please give me a monthly vote...Please give me a monthly vote...Give me strength...Amen...)
