"The old butler Mason is in the bamboo cage in the middle, be careful, he is in a very bad condition!" Elistin curled up and moved out of the bamboo cage little by little, and climbed down the wooden stake. The elf druid was kind-hearted. , even though he was eager to see Qin Lun at this time, he still did not forget the most important thing.
"Understood!" Lago looked at Iristen curiously, but he was slightly disappointed that the elf druid was now disheveled. The thieves had heard earlier that Xi Fu came to the place of death to seek death because of the old housekeeper Mason, while Qin Lun was because of the female elf companion in front of him.
After climbing down the flagpole, Elistin finally couldn't wait to look towards where Qin Lun was, and saw the silver-haired elf looking at him with a familiar smile.
Her eye sockets were slowly moistening, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. During these nights imprisoned by trolls, Elistine had dreamed countless times that Qin Lun appeared in front of her, but after each surprise, she always You will be awakened by the noise of trolls and returned to the cruel reality.
The silver-haired elves in the dream have different images, some are handsome, and some are bloody. However, one thing is the same, that shrewd Feral Moonlight, his face is always not so clear, as if covered with a veil.
Whenever she stretched out her hand to grab the silver-haired elf, that person would quietly distance herself, making it impossible for her to get close.
Qin Lun looked at the extremely haggard Elisine in front of him, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. The dress of the elf druid was very different from before. The ragged clothes were obviously not the druid plant outfit she was used to wearing, but a set of tattered leather armor of an ordinary mercenary.
Baldur's Gate does not prohibit druids from entering, but if they want to truly integrate into that city and become an adventurous mercenary, female elves cannot wear druids' strange costumes for a long time.
The life of a mercenary is very different from Elisteen's previous life. The elf beauty who likes quietness may not get used to that kind of life. During the days of searching for Qin Lun, she obviously suffered a lot.
For the first time, it was difficult for Qin Lun to fully understand his emotions. It seemed to contain a lot, but there seemed to be nothing. He had thought that the elf druid would be happy to see him, but Elistine didn't look very happy as she froze in place.
"Elisten!" Qin Lun took two steps forward and called out cautiously.
"Oh?!" Elistine came back to her senses, she immediately realized something, reached out to touch her hair, couldn't help lowering her head, and asked softly, "Am I ugly now?"
Qin Lun's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he soon came to his senses and opened his arms, wanting to give Elistine a hug.
"I stink!" Elistine shrank instinctively. Because the wounds on her body had not been treated with medicine, most of them were festering and rotting, exuding a stench. Even in the troll camp, it still couldn't offset the smell. smell.
"It's okay!" At this moment, Qin Lunfu was so in his heart that he didn't let Elisten escape. He took a quick step forward, hugged the female elf tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Tears slid down the elf druid's thin face, washing out two white marks on the dirty face. Elistine hugged Qin Lun with her backhand, buried her face in the shoulder of the silver-haired elf, and rubbed her hard.
"Filar, I finally caught you!" Under the cold moonlit night, the two elves were like a pair of eternal stone statues hugging each other tightly, as if ignoring time and everything around them.
"It's not in vain to come here!" Mustasia who was not far away raised his head, exhaled a long breath, and whispered softly.
"Cut!" Idriya, who had just climbed down from the flagpole, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help curling her lips, giving Qin Lun a scornful look.
"Hey, what are they doing?" Lago also came down, holding the unconscious old butler Mason in his arms, and teased beside the highland elves with a chuckle.
Mustasia glared at him fiercely, then sighed helplessly, approached the two of them from behind, and said softly, "Hey, you two, I understand your feelings very well, but why don't you leave here now?" Sample?"
The two huddled together seemed to be frightened, Elisten gently pushed Qin Lun away, buried his head deeply in his chest, and leaned wearily on the shoulder of the silver-haired elf, "Let's go, don't let your partner go in danger."
A group of people climbed out of the troll camp carefully. This trip to rescue people was unexpectedly smooth, and not even a single troll was disturbed during the whole process.
Of course, Qin Lun and the others knew that their danger had not yet begun. After dawn, the real test for them came. Although trolls are not good at tracking enemies, this is the Troll's Claw Mountain Range after all, and trolls who are familiar with the terrain cannot completely lose track of their prey.
The sacrificial festival in the troll village is about to begin, and these ferocious natives will not let them escape easily. Moreover, the troll camp here is very close to the entrance of the Land of the Dead, but it is at least four or five days away from the northern exit of the Winding River.
Along the way, Qin Lun and the others not only had to identify the direction, but also had to avoid chasing soldiers. Because there are other troll tribes along the way, they can only stay out at night and avoid these troll camps, slowing down the speed virtually.
Once they are discovered by the trolls behind them, or the troll tribes along the way, there will be several fierce battles waiting for them, maybe this is just a matter of time.
After meeting Rick and others, the happiest person is undoubtedly Xifu Hulan.
"Old Mason, you are still alive! Thank you, thank you, thank you all!" Xifu took the skinny old butler from Lago in surprise, and thanked everyone with tears and snot.
In fact, from the day he lost the old housekeeper, he never expected to see this old man who had been taking care of him since he was a child. He failed to organize a mercenary team several times, and his mental state was on the verge of collapse. That's why he didn't want to go back to Tethyr's hometown, and kept getting drunk in the tavern.
"Master Xifu, am I already dead?!" Maybe it was the jolt just now, or maybe it was hearing Xifu's voice, the old man who had been in a coma finally opened his eyes, with an abnormal blush on his face .
"No, Mason, I'm here to save you!" Silver wiped his face, and helped the old housekeeper up with tears and laughter.
"Sev, let Hill see Butler Mason!" Looking at the old butler's abnormal expression, Qin Lun frowned slightly, and pulled Hill over.
Hill has now transferred to the second level, and his occupation is Chaos Priest. Although this is not a purely auxiliary priest, it is also a priest class after all, and naturally has healing skills. Otherwise, in terms of damage skills, Hill might as well be a mage or warlock directly.
"His condition is very bad, and he is too old. He is almost exhausted." Hill observed Mason, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Is there any help?" Qin Lun communicated with Hill softly, while paying attention not to let Xi Fu hear, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"A person's lifespan is like a candle. Once it burns out, the help of other external objects will not have much effect." Hill shrugged and sighed helplessly.
"Is there really no hope? Doesn't our apostle's recovery medicine work?" Rand on the side leaned over and said regretfully, "I finally saved it..."
"It's still possible to save, but the medicine is useless, so we need to use another method!" A strange light flashed in Hill's eyes, and he said with a chuckle, "If it weren't for me, changing to a lawful camp priest, he It must be impossible."
Hill's method is the dark contract. As a priest of chaos, in the world of Toril, he pretended to believe in a certain abyssal demon god, which didn't even belong to the human pantheon.
With the help of the dark pact, Hill can extend Mason's life for a while, but it comes at a price. Even if Mason signed this dark contract, he might not live for long, at most a few years, and his death would be very painful.
Fortunately, because Hill's belief is false, this dark contract is also false. When Mason dies, his soul will not be harvested by the Abyss Demon God. But if the Abyss Demon God finds out in advance, the old butler will die directly.
"Sev, please step aside and let Hill talk to Mason." Qin Lun pulled away the noble youth and asked Hill to communicate with Mason face to face. Of course, this kind of dark contract must be voluntary.
"Hehe, this old man knows his physical condition. It is an eye-opener to see the young master again. If he can take care of the young master for a few more years, a little pain is nothing!" Mason was confirming that the dark contract would not be harvested by the abyssal demon god. After the soul, it seemed unusually calm.
The old man has lived for so many years, and perhaps the only thing he can't let go of is Xi Fu, who he watched and grew up with.
The magic wave that signed the dark contract attracted the attention of Mustasha, Vinnie and others. However, they were smart enough not to ask too many questions. Everyone knew about Mason's situation. No matter what their beliefs were, they couldn't object to helping the old man at this time.
"I feel better, what a magic spell!" Mason felt the vitality in his body, and suddenly opened his eyes in surprise. As soon as the dark contract was signed, his spirit recovered at an obvious speed, and he was able to stand up by himself.
"Okay, let's go!" Rick looked at the troll camp vigilantly, and lowered his voice to call everyone to leave.
"Elisten, let me help you!" Taking advantage of the gap just now, Qin Lun had already given some recovery medicine to the Elf Druid.
"No, you follow everyone, I will go with Idriya." Unexpectedly, the elf beauty refused, smiling and supporting each other with the female knight, "Idriya has been with me in life and death when you are not here." , now that I have found you, it's time for me to take care of her."
"Hey, just follow that guy. I'm a believer in Lavita. This difficulty may just be the goddess' test for me, and I don't need others to take care of me." Although Idriya said so, her face But he proudly rolled his eyes at Qin Lun.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want!" Qin Lun grinned, but didn't hold on any longer.
