In a valley surrounded by mountains, there is a small village. w ww.q ua n ben.c om The houses in the village are quite simple, but they are very natural and blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment. Various shrubs form natural fences, enclosing dozens of small courtyards. Towering ancient trees are scattered in the village, blocking the scorching sunshine.
There is a peaceful and warm atmosphere everywhere in the village. People walked back and forth leisurely, enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.
Rogge has been observing this village for two days and is more or less familiar with it. It seems that there is no too powerful person here. My plan should be successful. Now I am just waiting for the opportunity.
But, why am I feeling vaguely uneasy
When the sun rose, a young man and woman walked out of the village. Rogge was refreshed.
The man and woman just happened to climb up the hill where Rogge was hiding. They walk briskly and often jump over large rocks blocking their way. Although they are all mages, druids are very different from the frail magicians. In this regard, they are more similar to light mages who specialize in auxiliary magic, that is, priests. After donning armor and adding magic, druids will also become brave warriors.
A man and a woman were wearing homespun clothes, decorated with flowers growing in the mountains, natural gemstones and simple wooden carvings. They walked briskly, and the girl sang folk songs. They did not notice that there was someone sneakily following them not far behind them.
This section of the mountain road went from early morning to nearly noon before reaching a cliff. They took out the rope and tied it to the big rock on the edge of the cliff. The young man slowly slid down the cliff along the rope. The girl sat leisurely under a big tree, took out an instrument made of bamboo, and started playing.
A kind of purple-red grass grows dotted in the crevices of the cliff. During the two days of observation, Rogge found that most people in the small village were engaged in one or two kinds of work. This young man and woman will go to this cliff to pick this herb for two days. The environment here is quiet and deserted, which is a good place for Rogge to start.
Rogge entered the spiritual world and once again confirmed the strength of this young man and woman. Judging from their spiritual strength, these young men and women are still low-level druids, probably around level six or seven. Rogge had never seen a Druid before and could not evaluate the strength of the Druids. He could only observe them based on their energy.
Rogge chanted a spell in a low voice and pointed at the big rock with a rope tied to the edge of the cliff!
Suddenly there was a gentle vibration on the cliff, the boulder shook violently several times, and a young man's exclamation came from the bottom of the cliff.
"Brother!" The girl dropped her instrument and ran over.
Rogge's eyes flashed with silver, and he raised his hand to nudge. The big stone shook a few times, and finally it couldn't hold on anymore and rolled down the cliff!
There was a long scream from the bottom of the cliff. Mixed with the heavy sound of boulders rolling down the valley bottom.
elder brother! "The girl rushed towards the rope quickly, but missed by one step!
She cried and lay on the edge of the cliff looking down, only to see a cloud of mist. Where was her brother's figure
"Come here! Is anyone here? Help!" The girl panicked and cried aimlessly. How could anyone pass by this barren mountain? Unless it's someone with a heart.
The girl got up and ran towards the village crying. But the journey is long, and by the time she finds someone, her brother may be dead.
The tearful girl kept running. In just two miles, she had fallen countless times, her clothes were torn, and one of her knees was bleeding.
Suddenly a figure flashed in front of her eyes, and the girl was immediately surprised.
Rogge unsheathed his long sword, pointed it at the girl, and shouted: "Who is it!"
But the girl turned a blind eye to the sharp tip of the sword and rushed forward, crying: "Please! Please save my brother quickly! Please save him!"
Rogge's nervous face relaxed. He supported the girl and asked, "What's wrong with your brother? Don't be anxious, speak slowly!"
"He fell under the cliff! Please, help me save him!"
"Where is it? Take me there quickly!"
The girl was overjoyed, turned around and ran away, but fell to the ground. Rogge frowned, picked up the girl, put it on his shoulder, and strode away. The girl's clothes were often torn, and large areas of skin were exposed. Roger held her hand and placed it just on her thigh. The girl's face turned red and she struggled a little, but Rogge seemed to be afraid that she would fall, so he held on tighter. The girl stopped struggling.
After fleeing in the mountains for the past few months, Rogge had lost a lot of weight. The fat face that was originally smiling has also sunken a little, adding a little trace of wind and frost. At this moment, he was holding a girl in his arms and still leaping over the hill as if the girl had no weight at all.
The girl was extremely surprised. Looking at this man's speed and strength, it seemed that Gruba, the most powerful among the young people in the village, could not compare to him. He's a knight, right? His attire looks very similar. When the princess in the village chief's book is in trouble, a knight will appear. Could it be that he is my knight
The girl's face suddenly turned red, and she secretly cursed herself at such a time, why was she still thinking wildly? Fortunately, she was sitting on Rogge's shoulder and wouldn't let him see it, otherwise, she would be really embarrassed to death.
Under the guidance of the girl, Rogge quickly reached the cliff. He looked at the bottom of the cliff, turned around and said, "It seems that we have to go down and have a look to find out your brother's condition. Just wait for me here!"
The girl grabbed Rogge's arm and asked nervously: "It's very dangerous... Is there a problem with the rope?"
Rogge smiled faintly, patted the girl's hand gently, and took off his long sword. There was something wrong with the backpack. I am a knight after all. Why can't this cliff contain me? "
After saying that, Rogge turned around and climbed down the cliff. The girl leaned on the edge of the cliff and watched Rogge move among the rocks quite nimbly until he disappeared into the clouds. She let out a long breath and realized that her clothes had been soaked with cold sweat. She had clenched her fists unconsciously and dug her nails into her flesh.
Rogge jumped easily between the cliffs. He was already extremely powerful, and after using the Feather Falling Technique on himself, he could easily and freely fall dozens of meters. What's more, he's already familiar with this cliff
Rogge jumped down and landed lightly at the bottom of the valley. His leap just now caused him to fall at least twenty meters. How could a knight behave like this? But he wasn't afraid that the young Druid would see him. If he hadn't fallen to death yet and saw what he was capable of, he could just carry him up halfway up the mountain and throw him down again.
There is a dense forest at the bottom of the valley, and many of the trees have broken branches and leaves.
"It seems like this kid is pretty lucky! With these branches blocking him, he might not have fallen to his death!" Rogge thought to himself. He soon found the unfortunate young druid.
He was covered in blood and fell to the ground motionless. Rogge stepped forward and saw that he was indeed not dead yet. The druid's body was really strong. If it had been a different magician, he would have been scratched by a tree on the cliff before landing, and half his life would have been lost.
Rogge briefly treated his wounds, tied him to his back, and slowly climbed up the cliff. Naturally, along the way, he deliberately cut his clothes and scratched some wounds.
The wound doesn't have to be severe, just a lot. This ability to make easy things look like blood and sweat was originally Rogge's specialty.
Seeing the figure emerging from the fog, the girl's heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, Rogge climbed to the top of the cliff and gently placed the young Druid on the ground. Seeing the young Druid lying motionless on the ground, the girl panicked and immediately rushed up to him, shook him vigorously, and cried loudly: "Brother! What's wrong with you? You're talking!"
"Shake it for a while longer and he will really die." Rogge said with a smile.
The girl stood up with red and swollen eyes, not daring to look at Rogge. Rogge carried the young man on his back again. My brother was seriously injured, so I could only treat his wounds a little. Where is your home? Is there a priest there? Or a doctor, too. "
"Our village is in this direction, about twenty kilometers away. The village leader, Grandpa Jason, is a great druid. He will definitely have a way to cure my brother! But we need to hurry up!" As he said, The girl started to trot first.
"My name is Roger, but I don't know your name yet."
"My name is Amy, and my brother's name is Cooper. We are both Druids, but we are still low-level Druids. But among the hundreds of people in the village, there are only twenty people who are qualified to become Druids. My brother and sister are both Druids. We are the only ones relying on you!" The girl's voice was filled with pride.
"It's really amazing! Druids are mysterious and powerful. I have never met a Druid before, but I didn't expect to see two of them today." Rogge said with a smile.
There was a trace of blush on Amy's face, and she said softly: "I have just become a Druid. Grandpa Jason, the village leader, has really experienced disaster. He can even turn into an earth dragon! Mr. Rogge, you must He's a very high-level knight, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to rescue my brother from the cliff."
Just an ordinary knight. "Roger showed a wry smile.
Roger followed Amy leisurely, chatting with her casually while observing her carefully at close range.
Amy is quite beautiful, the kind of beauty that is slightly more glamorous. She is very tall, only half a head lower than Rogge. Years of exercise have given her slender legs, perky hips and slender waist. Her skin has a beautiful bronze color and looks very radiant in the sun.
The two chatted slowly and came up with many things that interested Rogge.
"Amy, why do you live here, isolated from the world?"
"We Druids like nature. The village chief said that the world outside the mountain is too dirty and complicated, and those people do not care about nature and animals. They will burn down the entire forest and kill animals at will for their own liking. The people outside the mountain They will also deceive or even kill their companions for money. Thousands of people will die in every war between them. Grandpa Jason said, that is not a world suitable for us druids. Those people will only want to take advantage of us druids. power to serve their own dirty purposes."
Rogge was a little silent, this old Druid Jason was really extreme! But he was right, he was a person who wanted to use the power of these druids to achieve dirty purposes.
"Amy, there are not many druids in your village. What if a dangerous monster attacks the village?"
"Warcraft? Our village has been protected by Lord Trillenhut since ancient times. What monster dares to harass our village? I remember when I was a child, there was a severe drought in the mountains, and hundreds of ogres came out of the mountains. They They wanted to occupy our village, but Lord Trillenhut was so angry that they were torn into pieces, buried on the hillside and turned into fertilizer for the forest."
Rogge was overjoyed, but he asked casually: "Is this Lord Trelenhut a great druid? Is he more experienced than Village Chief Jason?"
The woman suddenly realized something and said, "Grandpa Jason won't let us say anything about Lord Trelenhut to outsiders."
"Haha, that's it, then I won't ask." Rogge smiled lightly.
That's not what it means, it doesn't mean that you are... you are an outsider! I really didn't mean that! "Amy was so anxious that she almost cried. Yes, he saved his brother, but he still regarded him as an outsider.
She became more and more uneasy, and finally made up her mind: "Actually, Lord Trelenhut, it is..."
Rogge stretched out a hand, gently covered Amy's mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay, no need to say anything. I don't want you to be scolded by the village chief. He must be very fierce."
Amy blushed, as if he was a little too close. But, did he mean it? Aren't all bartenders so personable on purpose? It's exactly as written in the book.
Rogge didn't notice the girl's strangeness, he was thinking hard about the meaning.
There was a sudden silence between the two of them.
It didn't take long before the Druid's village was in sight.
"I'll go back and ask someone to help you first!" With that said, the girl ran back to the village.
Not long after, there was a loud noise in the small village, and dozens of people ran out following Amy, for a tall, handsome young man and an old man. The old man's legs and feet were not as fast as the young people around him.
Roger put Cooper down and handed him to the tall young man. The strange thing is that the young man was obviously hostile to him.
"Grandpa Jason, will something happen to my brother?" Amy asked anxiously.
After looking at Cooper carefully, the old man raised his head and said, "Don't worry, kid. Cooper only broke a few small bones. He will get better. In two months, you will have a lively brother again."
The old man turned his head, looked at Rogge up and down, frowned slightly, and asked: "This is..."
"Grandpa Jason, his name is Roger, he is the man who saved my brother." Amy answered quickly.
"Why did you suddenly come to the depths of this mountain range? I'm curious. No one has ever gone deep into this place before." The young man suddenly interjected.
"Gruba! What do you mean! He saved my brother, but you want to ask him why he came here!" Amy shouted.
Rogge straightened his clothes and replied with a smile: "I am just an ordinary knight who happened to be passing by. Because there was some trouble outside, I went deep into the central mountain range. I have no intention of disturbing your peace. Since I have already sent people there , it’s time for me to leave.”
"Wait! Explain your 'trouble' clearly first. You already know the location of our village. You can't just leave like this!" Gruba stepped forward and blocked Rogge's way.
The smile on Rogge's face faded. He didn't expect that saving someone would end up with so much trouble! Is this the Druid who claims to love nature and peace? Today was really an eye-opener. I crawled out from the dead on the battlefield. You want to keep me? Okay, come on, show some skills! "
Rogge looked at the other people in the Druid village and said coldly: "If you feel that one person is not enough, you can come together." After that, he unsheathed his long sword, and his whole body glowed with a faint white brilliance. He shouted loudly, and everyone present felt slightly dizzy.
Gruba's expression changed greatly, and he couldn't help but take a step back. I heard that those who can shine with fighting spirit are very high-level knights! On a one-on-one basis, he's probably no match. But he was the highest-ranking druid among the young people in the village, so he had no choice but to stop Rogge.
"Grandpa Jason! Gruba is ignorant, why are you like this! Is this the way you usually teach us how to treat guests? Roger saved my brother, but Gruba treated him so rudely. This Is this what you said about Druid's heart!" Amy shouted excitedly.
Jason hesitated for a moment. He instinctively felt a hint of darkness from Rogge, which made him very uneasy.
At this moment, Rogge's sword swung gently, and a white brilliance gushes out like water. Gruba only felt his eyes light up, and for a moment he could hardly see anything. Then he felt a huge impact in his abdomen, which made his whole stomach tremble. He fell to the ground, retching.
A cold feeling came from his neck, Gruba immediately froze and did not dare to move.
Rogge put his sword on Gruba's neck, who was lying on the ground, and looked at the people in the village with a smile. He suddenly smiled up to the sky and shouted: "I am not interested in knowing your secrets! I just want you to know that it is not easy to keep me! Good intentions are not rewarded, and I will never save any Druid again!"
After saying that, Rogge sheathed his sword and turned to leave.
"Mr. Rogge, please stay!" Jason shouted.
"You are a very experienced Druid. Do you want to personally keep me here?" Rogge said with a frown.
"I want to keep you, but not as an enemy, but as a brother and friend! I originally had doubts, but you are a person who respects life, and you are a friend of our Druid." Jason said with a smile.
Rogge still looked wary? You may know that every knight who returns from the battlefield has a lot of blood on his hands. "
"War is the most stupid behavior. But you not only saved Cooper and spared Gruba who offended you, but also bandaged an injured deer. Yes, I have spied on your whereabouts, but you need Understand that in this deep mountain, caution is the principle of survival.”
Rogge nodded and his face relaxed. "Since you have known my whereabouts, you must also know that the people who are chasing me are very powerful. If I stay, I will bring unnecessary trouble to this village, so I think it is best for me to leave. I will report to Go north and try to see if you can survive through this central mountain range."
Jason smiled and said: "Although the pursuers are powerful, we druids also have ways to survive in the forest. I will send people to eliminate all traces you left. In the mountains and jungles, the druids If you try to hide a friend's whereabouts, no one will be able to find him."
Amy cheered, jumped over and hugged Roger's arm, will you stay? You can live with me and my brother! Brother, he will definitely want to see you when he wakes up. He has always wanted to see a real knight! Also, you’re going to love the pine nut cake I baked! "
Seeing the intimacy between Amy and Rogge, Gruba's face was ashen.
That night, Jason hosted Roger at his home. No outsiders have come to the small village for many years, so almost everyone in the village gathered in Jason's yard. Even Cooper, who was seriously injured, insisted on attending the banquet after waking up. Only Gruba was resting at home because he was not feeling well.
The food of the Druid was light and natural, with very little meat and fishy taste, which made Rogge unhappy. Fortunately, the druids were good at making wine, and the fruit wine was fragrant and refreshing, which made Rogg feel happy when he drank it.
Rogge was born as a profiteer. Needless to say, he was eloquent, and he had good wine to cheer him up. It didn't take long for him to get involved with the people in the village. The people in the mountains are simple and hospitable, and they admire capable and powerful men. A powerful knight like Rogge is naturally the target of many girls' attention. He even defeated Gruba, the most powerful druid in the village, with ease! The girls gathered around him and grabbed Rogge to ask questions.
Amy and Roger stayed close, staring at the other girls with hostility.
Even though he was surrounded by many girls, Rogge still never forgot to flatter old Jason from time to time, making him feel comfortable and pregnant.
In the middle of the night, the banquet finally broke up. Amy fought like a warrior and snatched the drunk and confused Rogge from the hands of the girls, and helped him back to his small courtyard.
Old Jason went back to the house to rest, and after being awake for a while, he suddenly sighed. His wife sat up and asked with concern: "Old man, what's wrong with you? Aren't you very happy tonight?"
"Old woman, I always have an intuition that maybe this Rogge will break the peace of our village."
"Old man, in my opinion, he is a good young man! He is capable, upright, and smart! If he is willing to join our village, that would be great. You have been facing these faces for decades, don't worry, I I'm still annoyed! I think Amy's kid seems to be very interested in Roger. If Amy can keep him, I think it would be a great thing! That young man has a very bad experience. Don't say that you were not as good as him when you were young. Now, I think you may not be his opponent!"
"But old woman, the origin of this young man is definitely not simple. I went to observe the people who were chasing him, and there were more than a hundred people! And there were a few very evil guys among them, and they almost found me. I saw, Only the Great Druid of the North's 'Wrath of the Sky' can deal with the two leading knights. And, old woman, I always feel that there is a dark aura about that Rogge."
"Old man, are you confused? That young man clearly used holy fighting energy today! Look at his sword again. It must be a rare and famous sword blessed by divine power. According to the old woman, it is Terry Lord Lenhut may not have such a good sword! If Roger was a bad guy, would he go to such great lengths to save Cooper? I asked Amy, and Roger just happened to be passing by. Let’s talk about those chasing him. Come on! Old man, as a senior druid, can't you hide a person in the forest? Can't you lead the pursuers in other directions? Even if they find this place, Lord Trillenhut is here. , are we still afraid of them? You are really becoming more timid as you get older!"
"That's right. It seems that I am too cautious, and sometimes I can't help but worry too much. I'm just a little worried about Gruba, he seems to like Amy quite a bit."
"That boy is quite smart and hard-working. He is just a little arrogant. It would be better to let Rogge dampen his spirit this time, so as not to keep him from thinking that you are first and he is second in this world. Go to sleep, old man, tomorrow We still have to prepare food for Lord Trillenhut.”
Amy put her brother to bed, helped Roger into the guest room, and then returned to her room. She tossed and turned that night, sleepless all night. (QuanBeN-XiaoShuo.com)
