Solskjaer's laboratory is in the south. Because the direction of his own research is biased towards fire magic.
In the south where the climate is hot, it is obvious that the fire element contained in nature is more abundant. Otherwise, it's not impossible to go to the icy and snowy north to study fire magic, but that would be a bit of a joke.
Du Wei made a decision and acted quickly.
Solskjaer was immediately released from the dungeon, and his magician's robes, as well as his equipment, bottles of powder, magic crystals, and parchment for magic spells were all returned to him.
Of course, the magician's robes were newly made.
For this young master, he was able to recruit a magician as his subordinate. The old butler of the castle was very surprised at first. But when he knew that Solskjaer was only a first-level magician, the old butler was relieved...that's how it was.
Du Wei proposed to go on a long trip. The old housekeeper could not refuse such a request, and he also said in the morning that he suggested that Du Wei can go to some of the family's properties in the territory to take a look and make an inspection, which is better than staying in the It is much more intuitive to look at the boring ledger in the castle.
Soon, the carriage, horses, and luggage were all ready. It's different from the shabby scene when I went south from the imperial capital. This time the old butler arranged much better. After all, it would be embarrassing if the young master of the family travels too shabby within the territory of the Luo Lin family.
It was still Made Du Wei's accompanying butler, but this time Made had ten more servants from the castle. Responsible for taking care of the young master all the way.
Among the guards of the castle, two cavalry squads were sent to protect Du Wei. Moreover, the deputy captain of the castle guard, a regular knight with good martial arts skills, will also lead the team personally. This vice-captain named Robert is a regular knight! He is a person certified by the Knights Association with a genuine four-level knight badge!
The accompanying two cavalry squads, one team is Robert's direct squad, and the other team, Du Weiqin selected the group of people who had followed him all the way from the imperial capital to the south.
This fourth-level knight named Robert looks tall and mighty, with broad shoulders, a majestic body, and a square face. He looks like a straight guy. For Du Wei, the little master, the knight was quite respectful in his attitude, and he seemed to be a pure warrior. Du Wei had a good impression of him.
In addition to these people, there was also a female knight among the accompanying people, who was naturally Du Wei's first direct subordinate recruited by Du Wei, Ruolin.
Coming out of the castle and heading south all the way, Robert fulfilled his duties very conscientiously on the way. He carefully arranged for the people to go to the front station and the guard work during the stay. Occasionally, when Du Wei was in a sudden mood, he proposed to camp outside at night, but Robert didn't make any comments, but nodded in agreement without saying a word. After going down, he will also carefully arrange the vigil and guards at night.
A very typical soldier.
This is Du Wei's evaluation of Robert. Obviously, this guy must have been in the military. As retainers of the Luo Lin family, a family of martial arts, many knights in the family have experience in the army.
Compared with the old butler who made Du Wei a little annoying, this loyal and dedicated knight was undoubtedly much more pleasing to the eye.
seven days.
Walking and watching, it took a full seven days for Du Wei and his party to reach a town in the southernmost part of Kote Province. Going further south, it was about to leave the scope of the Kurt Province, that is to say, it was about to leave the territory of the Luo Lin family.
In general, Du Wei is very satisfied with the situation of the Rowling family's territory. On this Luolin Plain with favorable geographical conditions, all he saw along the way were large tracts of farmland, rich farms, and leisurely farmers. Even if he occasionally passed by one or two slightly larger towns, he could still see the people here. Live well.
When their convoy is walking on the road, they often pass by one or two farms, and there will be some farmers standing on the side of the road. As long as they see these knights carrying the banner of the Luolin family, the farmers will wave their hats in salute from afar. .
It seems that the Luo Lin family is still very popular here.
Robert could also see that this little master didn't come out to inspect any family property at all. He simply took people out for sightseeing.
But this is not surprising. Considering the young master's age, Robert also thinks that a thirteen-year-old boy can really manage any family business? And these are not things he should care about, he just needs to fulfill his duties and act as a good protector.
On this day, when everyone reached the small town at the southernmost edge of Luo Lin's territory, Du Wei suddenly proposed to continue going south. Although Robert felt a little strange about this request, he did not object.
Anyway, it's a trip, since the little master is interested, then just follow him and continue south.
Moreover, going south after leaving the Cote province is the Lille province of the empire. The governor of the Lille province is very friendly and respectful to the Luo Lin family. The young master of the Luo Lin family came to the Lille province to play. Will definitely get some care, nothing to worry about.
Du Wei quickly fell in love with this obedient knight. He also saw that this knight Robert was also very popular among these cavalrymen. Often when camping, some young cavalry would ask him for martial arts skills.
Robert's martial arts are quite good - in Du Wei's eyes. This knight can wield a huge broadsword with astonishing strength! When guiding those young soldiers, seven or eight people couldn't get close to him.
Even Ruolin's follower, the bull warrior, was quite convinced by Robert. Because in one contest, Robert knocked down the bull warrior with only one hand holding the sword.
A fourth-level knight, his strength is indeed impressive.
Under such circumstances, Du Wei couldn't help feeling a little itchy, and proposed to ask Robert for some martial skills. Robert was a little surprised by the little master's request. Because, according to the management of the family, if the son of the patriarch of the family like Du Wei wants to learn martial arts, he must find the knights with the highest martial arts in the family as teachers. team leader.
Robert readily agreed, anyway, what he practiced was the Dou Qi training method taught in the imperial army. Nor is it a great secret. However, just like the evaluation made by the chief guard next to Earl Raymond, after a brief teaching, Robert also had to tell Du Wei: He really does not have the talent to practice martial arts.
Du Wei's current body has been bulky since he was a child, and he also had a serious illness, which is congenitally deficient.
Du Wei wasn't upset at all. He didn't expect himself to become a master, but he felt that it was necessary for him to exercise a little bit. Even if you can't become a master, it's good to be able to train your body to be stronger and healthier!
In this way, under the guidance of Robert, Du Wei began to learn some of the most basic martial arts, mainly some methods of physical exercise. And this situation also caused the speed of the group to go south to be a little slower.
On the ninth day of going south, the group came to a small town in the northeast of Lille Province in the southern part of the empire... Half Corner City.
It's an odd name because the city sits beside a valley shaped like a half-angle.
This small city is located on an important caravan route in the northeast of the province of Lille, so it is quite prosperous. Even in this small town, Du Wei and others actually saw a group of mercenaries of about twenty people! These mercenaries were escorting a caravan northward. It happened to be the same hotel as Du Wei and others.
The province of Lille is not the territory of some nobles, but a province directly under the empire. There are no high-ranking officials in such a small town, and Du Wei doesn't want to deal with those local officials, so staying in a hotel is more free. So the arrival of their group did not alarm the local officials.
At lunch time, Du Wei and others were in the lobby of the hotel, and the other caravan was on the other side of the lobby. Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the hotel, and after a burst of noise, the door was pushed open, and three knights in the armor of the local garrison walked in.
The leading one has a knight medal on his chest, which means that he is also a fourth-level knight, and the suit of armor and military badge on his body shows that he is a member of the local garrison. senior military officer.
The man strode in. Surrounded by several subordinates, he first came to those caravans and announced loudly: "Everyone! I am the Captain of the Second Cavalry Team of the Banjiao City Local Garrison Regiment. Now, according to the "Local armament law", on behalf of the local garrison of Half Corner City, I formally requisition your guards! Because we don't have enough troops now, we need your guards to assist us to carry out a mission in the Half Corner Valley outside the city. According to the laws of the empire , you must not refuse."
He spoke loudly, with a firm attitude, and then glanced at the caravan guards: "I know you are all mercenaries, and I am enlisting you to join my queue to perform missions, and the imperial military will pay you later .You now have half an hour to get your gear and horses in order! After half an hour, I need everyone to assemble at the hotel gate."
Although the mercenaries who acted as caravan guards were a little reluctant, the laws of the empire were like mountains, so they couldn't refuse such a thing, and they were paid anyway.
But the caravan, seeing that the guards he hired with money was conscripted away, couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and immediately came over with raised eyebrows, trying to make the officer accommodating...
"No!" The knight refused very simply: "I'm sorry, your trip will be delayed, but I promise it won't be too long. Your guards will be back by this time tomorrow at the latest. You can Choose to stay in this city for one more day, and for the extra day, your accommodation expenses in this hotel will be borne by the military! Please don’t say any more, this is the task of the military, I can’t accommodate you, please take it back It is a felony to bribe an officer!"
After finishing speaking, the knight left the caravan leader and turned to Du Wei and his party.
He originally announced to the general public that he would recruit Du Wei's entourage, but after taking two steps, he suddenly saw the clothes of several entourages around Du Wei, as well as Du Wei's own attire... More importantly, he saw Du Wei's clothes. Behind Robert and others!
The armor Robert wore was obviously not made by the imperial military. It is like the equipment of the noble private army.
This kind of power to enlist the private army of other nobles is not something that a small cavalry captain of the local garrison can have!
Knight Span glanced at Du Wei, he hesitated for a while, but he really didn't have any manpower in his hands right now, and the task was really urgent, so he couldn't delay, finally he gritted his teeth and strode towards Du Wei . First bent down and gave a salute as a knight, and then said in a deep voice: "Dear sir, I..."
Having said that, Spann's voice suddenly choked up. Because he didn't pay attention just now, but now he can see clearly!
The several guard cavalrymen behind Du Wei wore the light armor on their chests, which was the badge of the Luo Lin family!
Originally, he wanted to use some means to borrow the other party's guards, but hehe, the famous imperial martial arts family, he can't just borrow it!
hell! People from the Rowling family? How did the Luo Lin family come to Banjiao City? Why is there no news at all...
Spann sighed helplessly.
"Please continue, Mr. Knight." Du Wei smiled and raised his glass and took a sip. This kind of light ale tastes good in the mouth, a bit like the rice wine he drank in his previous life.
"This... Dear Sir. Excuse me, are you from the great Rowling family?" Spann's voice became more respectful, and he even unconsciously owed a little.
"That's right. We are from the Rolling Plains." This time it was Robert who spoke, and he took a step forward. His majestic body was half a head taller than the Spann knight: "This is my master, the Rolling Family Lei." Earl Meng's eldest son, Master Du Wei."
Span immediately saluted again, the son of the patriarch of the Luo Lin family, with such an identity, even facing the governor, he was on an equal footing.
"Mr. Knight, are you in any trouble?" Du Wei asked with a smile.
"Yes..." Spann weighed in his heart for a while, and said truthfully: "I have just received an urgent mission that requires about a hundred soldiers. But recently, it is the time for spring exercises, and most of the garrison soldiers in the half-cornered city They were all taken to the south two hundred miles away for spring drills. At present, I have less than 20 people left under my command. Therefore, according to the Empire's local armament decree, I can only temporarily recruit the warriors in the city to serve as the army on the spot. Temporary effect."
Du Wei nodded: "Oh, then, are you also planning to recruit my bodyguard?"
"No, no, dare not!" Spann was taken aback. He originally meant this, but after seeing the identity of the other party, how dare he do this
Who is Count Raymond? He is the number two figure in the Imperial Army! Conscript his son's bodyguard? In case this young master encounters any accident due to the lack of guards around him, even beheading himself a hundred times will not be able to offset this crime.
"So, what happened?" Du Wei was a little curious: "After all, we are here now. If something happens here, please tell me, so we can make preparations."
Knight Span thought for a while and said it. His expression was a little helpless and distressed: "This matter is also strange to say. The Banjiao Mountain outside the Banjiao City has always been calm. This mountain is not high. The woods are not deep, and there used to be no big beasts. Even if there were, our local garrison usually went up the mountain every three to five times to hunt, and they were all hunted down! But just yesterday, a wild animal suddenly appeared out of nowhere. ... Warcraft!"
Du Wei's eyes lit up!
World of Warcraft
"Yes, although it is not certain what kind of monster it is, it is certain that it is a big guy, because the hunter in the mountain saw the footprints of that monster with his own eyes. This is certain. It's just puzzling that, Warcraft generally do not live near human-inhabited cities. Even if there are, they should be in the wild forests on the southern border of the empire. Moreover, the entire province of Lille has not heard of warcraft infestation for decades. I don’t know where this thing came from.” Span smiled bitterly: “My people and I were ordered to go to the mountains to hunt and kill this guy, but according to my estimation, if such a big guy wants to kill it, I'm afraid there must be at least twenty soldiers. And the Banjiao Mountain is so big, if you round it up in the mountain, if you don't have a hundred soldiers, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Warcraft... It seems very interesting.
Du Wei couldn't help being tempted.
In fact, since he found a glimmer of hope to learn magic, he has recently become very interested in almost everything related to magic!
In this region in the southern hinterland of the empire, a rare magical beast unexpectedly appeared! How can you not join in the fun of this kind of thing
"Very good! I have brought forty guards, each of whom is the elite cavalry of the Luo Lin family, and my captain is a fourth-level knight. I am willing to let them go with you to the Half Angle Mountain to carry out this task." Task. After all, it is not in line with my morality to just sit and watch a monster raging." Du Wei said these two words very righteously.
Span was stunned for a moment: "You mean... you are willing to lend me all your guards..."
"Master, this is not acceptable." Robert objected for the first time: "You can't be protected by your side. If you must go, I will take twenty people there."
Robert is very willing to help, after all, he is also a regular knight and believes in chivalry.
"No, no, don't worry that I don't have guards by my side." Du Wei smiled: "Because I will go with you. I think staying by your side is the safest thing, isn't it?"
Now both Robert and Spann are going to object.
Especially Spann! He began to regret why he told this young master of Luo Lin's family about it!
Take him with you? Whether or not you can catch a monster is a trivial matter! But if after going up the mountain, this young master encounters a little accident! Then I am really out of luck!
"You don't have to object." Du Wei made a straightforward decision: "Don't worry about my safety, don't forget, there is a magician with outstanding strength beside me!"
He pushed Solskjaer out.
Solskjaer was a little helpless. But although he can't talk about any outstanding strength, his identity as a magician is genuine.
Spann's eyes lit up!
Magician? If there is a powerful magician to assist, then this task should be no problem!
It's just... the safety of this young master...
His subordinates really couldn't resist Du Wei. What gave Robert a headache was that the little master seemed to have made up his mind to go to the mountains to see what the monster looked like.
Robert looked at the Spann knight with unfriendly eyes. In his opinion, all these troubles were caused by this guy. If the little master suffers even the slightest harm because of this...even if it's just a little frightened, then these responsibilities must be borne by himself!
Although along the way, he had a good impression of this unassuming and gentle little master, but the decision to go into the mountains to see the monsters, in Robert's opinion, is still a bit of a childish nonsense!
There was no other way, Robert sighed, he could only secretly decide that after entering the mountain, he would stay by his master's side every step of the way, and with the sword in his hand, he could protect his master no matter what.
Moreover, presumably, there will not be any high-level monsters appearing in this kind of plain area.
Robert comforted himself. I have to say that his self-comfort was quite effective. Because in Roland Continent, creatures like monsters have a strange law.
Warcraft generally refers to the kind of wild beasts that are born with magical abilities, but the level of strength of Warcraft has a peculiar measurement standard: According to most of the currently known Warcraft, the degree of danger of these things and their size Inversely proportional.
In other words, usually the larger the monster, the less powerful it is. The real danger is those small guys.
Since this Span said that a big guy appeared nearby, then his martial arts should still be able to handle it.
And Spann couldn't help but feel a little bit stuck at the moment. Compared with the problem of Warcraft, he was more worried about the safety of the young master of the Luo Lin family.
However, Du Wei has already said that he must go and have a look... Span would rather not have the help of the other party's dozens of guards.
However, Du Wei spoke, and the meaning was very clear. Even if Span refused his kindness, he would take people up the mountain by himself! After weighing it in this way, Spann felt that it would be better to bring people with them. In this way, at least there are more people, and it is safer.
Those mercenaries were quite efficient. Half an hour later, more than 20 mercenaries were already fully armed and waiting at the door of the hotel. And Du Wei left a group of servants to stay in the hotel, and he set off with two cavalry teams.
Du Wei put on a piece of light armor. Although he still looked a little weak, at least it was reassuring. Ruolin knew that this time she was going into the mountains to search for monsters—she had done this kind of work before. Hunting monsters and then exchanging the prey for gold coins is the source of money for many adventure teams on the mainland.
Spann gathered the last twenty men from the garrison camp in Half Corner. In this way, the total number of people was roughly eighty or ninety. Although it was still a little weak, Span was very relieved to see that Luo Lin's entourage and guards were all in bright armor and well-equipped weapons.
As expected of the local regular army of the empire, Spann discussed with Robert, the two highest-ranking knights, and divided these people into three teams. Moreover, the local army, mercenaries, and the guards of Luo Lin's family were dispersed according to the type of arms. In the three teams, each team was guaranteed to be assigned to a different type of arms, and the soldiers for close combat, as well as the archers, had made some deployments.
The other two team members were led by Spann's two deputies, while Spann himself and Robert Cavalier, the two most skilled fighters, stayed by Du Wei's side.
Span has already made up his mind to pay attention, even if he fails in this mission, he must 100% guarantee the safety of the young master of the Luo Lin family! Otherwise, if something happens to the eldest son of the No. 2 head of the imperial military, I am afraid that my future in the army will be ruined! In contrast, whether or not the monster can be caught is not important anymore.
It is worth mentioning that the other two teams only have 20 people in each team. As for Du Wei's pair, they left a total of forty subordinates, thirty of them were the guards of Luo Lin's family, and the other ten were the rare archers under Span's men.
Span even gave Du Wei a precious military hand crossbow for self-defense, because he saw that the young master probably didn't know how to use archery. Having a military hand crossbow would also make him a bit safer.
In this way, Du Wei's team has 40 of the most elite regular army soldiers (the quality of Luo Lin's guards is definitely not inferior to that of the regular army), two fourth-level knights, and a genuine magician.
This kind of strength is already quite impressive.
The three teams left the city immediately, and then entered the Banjiao Mountain from three different mountain roads. The three teams searched in different directions. Once a team of people found the monster, they were immediately responsible for entangled it, and at the same time issued a signal to summon their companions.
In the end, it was agreed that the meeting place for the three people to search was the half-angle valley in the most central area.
Du Wei rode his horse into the Banjiao Mountain surrounded by everyone. This guy didn't seem to realize that he had become a burden to everyone...or he knew it, but he was pretending to be stupid.
The forty subordinates were fully armed, and after entering the Banjiao Mountain, they immediately spread out according to the two sides of the fan, and carefully searched for any suspicious traces. The two knights, Spann and Robert, guarded Du Wei closely.
The traces of monsters in Banjiao Mountain were first discovered by hunters in a small village on the southern slope of the mountain. According to Span's introduction on the road, the local hunters saw the footprints on the ground in the forest at first, and mistook them for some large wild beasts wandering into the forest, and called several experienced hunters into the mountain to hunt. However, they found traces of monsters in Shannan. These hunters knew that they could not deal with monsters by themselves, so they simply ran back and reported the situation to the garrison in the city. According to the introductions of the hunters, the monster that was discovered was very large, about the size of a liger. At that time, it was impossible to see what kind of monster it was because it was standing too far away. What an ordinary beast, that's for sure.
After entering Banjiao Mountain along the mountain road, everyone dismounted, including Du Wei. The soldiers spread out and searched on both sides, and five warriors with the best martial arts skills were arranged to explore the way at the front of the queue.
In this case, Du Wei didn't say that he saw any monsters... Every step he took, someone would help him step on it! There is not even a rabbit in the grass.
Du Wei couldn't help being a little bored. Looking at the dense forest around him and the birds chirping from time to time, Du Wei glanced at the slightly nervous Spann Knight beside him and smiled.
He knew very well what was playing in this Spann's stomach: "Mr. Spann Knight, have you ever seen a real monster?"
Span was stunned, and thought for a while: "Yes, I have served in the Imperial Storm Corps in the north for four years. At that time, my army was stationed on the east side of the "Frozen Forest" in the northern part of the mainland. It is recognized as the place with the most monsters on the mainland. When we were patrolling, we encountered some. Fortunately, the activities in the outskirts of the forest are generally low-level monsters, and the threat to humans is limited. When we were patrolling, we never dared to go deep into the forest. Because those high-level monsters in the forest are not something ordinary soldiers can deal with."
Du Wei thought for a while: "So, what does a monster look like?"
Span pondered for a while: "Warcraft, in fact, are just wild beasts. It's just that they are much more powerful than ordinary wild beasts. Ordinary wild beasts just use their sharp claws and sharp teeth to hurt people. But the magical beasts I can use some low-level magical instincts naturally, so it is a bit troublesome to deal with."
"So, have you ever hunted a monster with your own hands?"
Span blushed and said in a low voice: "Master Du Wei, I was only a second-level knight back then. With my ability, I couldn't hunt and kill a monster alone. However, the team I was in back then During a patrol, I really came across a powerful guy. It was a unique "Storm Demon Wolf" that lived in the frozen forest of the Northland. It can be frozen and crystallized in an instant, and its hardness is even comparable to our armor. It is hard to hurt with a sword, and it can also spew out wind blades from its mouth through howling. Guys, ten soldiers are no match for it... I remember that battle, four of my companions died, and the last survivors were all wounded. Later, our captain fought hard and suffered a wind blade, Cut off the tail of the demon wolf with a sword... The weak point of that kind of wolf is the tail. If it loses its tail, its magic power will be weakened. But after the fur of the demon wolf is peeled off by us, it is very valuable, and Its magic core can also be sold at a good price. The magic core of Warcraft is something that magicians like, because the magic core of each department of magic is a good tool for magicians to store magic power. Materials for magic scrolls."
Spann recalled the things when he was young, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "I remember when I was serving at the edge of the frozen forest. Every month, despite our persuasion, many adventure teams entered the forest to hunt monsters to make money. However, among them One-third of the people couldn't get out alive. I don't know how many people died in the forest, and even some magicians died in it."
Du Wei sighed, and he glanced at Solskjaer beside him.
Both of them knew that magicians would not hunt and kill monsters just to make money. But the magic core of the monster is extremely attractive to magicians, and those are important magic raw materials.
As Span spoke, he split a forked branch protruding from the road ahead with the sword in his hand, smiled, and said, "Master Du Wei, don't worry, according to the law, the larger the monster, the more powerful it will be." The lower. The guy we met shouldn't be too dangerous. With me... um, and Lord Robert Knight, we will definitely not let you suffer any harm."
Du Wei nodded, he was noncommittal, but glanced at Robert who had been silent all the time: "What about you? Robert, have you ever hunted a monster?"
Robert's face was solemn, he thought for a moment, and gently brushed aside his thick curly hair, exposing his neck.
Only then did Du Wei discover that there was an astonishing wound on Robert's neck! It was obviously a piercing scar, as if some verb pierced hard from the side of his neck when he was injured! Although this is an old injury, and obviously it has passed for a long time, the wound is still flesh red, which shows how serious the injury was back then!
"This is what a monster left me." Robert said in a low tone: "I once went to the "Sunset Swamp" in the south. In the swamp, our group met a group of griffins."
Before Du Wei could speak, the Knights of Spann, Solskjaer, and even Ruolin following behind all gasped at the same time! Span even lost his voice: "A group of griffins? God, how did you survive?"
"Griffin? Is this kind of thing very powerful?" Du Wei asked.
Solskjaer shook his head: "Not only is it powerful, the griffin is a flying monster. If you don't count the legendary beasts, the griffin is recognized as one of the most troublesome monsters. This kind of thing is A kind of bird-like beast, their size is about the same as an ordinary eagle, but they can make a sound like a lion's roar. Their feathers are as hard as iron, and their sharp claws can easily scratch our armor. Its mouth can even kill knights. The sword in his hand pecks off... The most troublesome thing is that it can fly, and the hard feathers make it impossible for ordinary bows and arrows to hurt it. Moreover, its tweet can cause panic in people, and it can directly make people dizzy."
"Psychic attack magic?" Du Wei took a breath.
"What's terrible is that this kind of scary thing is nothing if you just encounter it alone... But this kind of monster is the only one among all the monsters... A group animal! In other words, this kind of troublesome thing is a group A group of activities, in the swampy area in the south, even a small army will choose to retreat when they encounter this kind of thing! Because if there is a large group of such powerful things in groups and attack from the direction of the sky, Then it’s really hard to resist.”
Ruo Lin looked at the wound on Robert's neck and frowned, "How did you survive?"
Robert shook his head: "I thought I was going to die. Half of the people we went to the swamp that time died. I was scratched by a griffin on the neck, and one of its claws almost pierced my neck. But then we found a huge tree hole in the swamp, and we hid in the tree hole for a full day. The entrance to the tree hole is not big, and those things lost their air superiority and couldn't attack us from the sky. Our situation It was a little better. Relying on guarding the narrow tree hole, we held on for a day before the griffins left. And I was finally taken back by the rescue team from my family, and my life was finally saved.”
After a pause, a trace of sadness flashed across Robert's face: "My own brother died there. Like me, he was also scratched by a griffin on the neck, but he was not as lucky as me. His head was smashed on the spot. Got caught."
Du Wei was shocked, looked at Robert, and quickly whispered: "I'm sorry, Robert Knight, I don't know..."
"No, it's nothing." The knight shook his head and forced a smile: "It's been many years ago, and since we have sworn allegiance to the family, our lives have already been prepared to sacrifice for the family at any time." get ready."
Everyone couldn't help admiring Knight Robert, and even Ruolin couldn't help but look at the knight more. But Ruolin quickly raised a question: "Lord Robert, Lord Spann, I have a question."
"What? Please tell me, Lord Ruolin." Spann still respected the honorary female knight beside this noble young master.
Ruo Lin slowly said: "Based on what I know, most of the monsters live in the forest, but they rarely live in the center of the continent. Because the monsters need to replenish their magic power, they only live in those strange places on the edge of the continent, such as The frozen forest in the north and the sunset swamp in the south. These places are full of all kinds of magical plants... that is, the growth zone of raw materials for magic pharmacists to configure magic potions. Or, some places rich in certain special minerals will also Those who attract monsters are living around. But... On Banjiao Mountain, there is only the most common forest. There are no magic plants here, but some ordinary pine and maple trees. Moreover, there are no special minerals here. So, suddenly appeared Don't you think it's strange that a monster comes here?"
Both Spann and Robert couldn't help but stop, their faces were a little dignified, and even the magician Solskjaer frowned and began to think.
"Ruo Lin, do you know much about monsters?" It was Du Wei who spoke.
"I have had many adventures, and I have also followed several mercenary groups into the frozen forest to hunt monsters." Ruolin explained: "So, I am afraid that I am one of the people here who dealt with monsters. The most people."
"Have you ever entered the frozen forest in the north?" Knight Spann showed a surprised expression. In his opinion, this female knight probably got the title of honorary knight from the noble young master because of her beauty. But she didn't expect Ruo Lin to have such an experience!
Even Robert looked strange.
Ruolin said in a low voice, "That's right, I've been in a few times."
"I don't know much about the living habits of monsters. If what Lord Ruolin said is true...then I'm afraid we have to think about it." Robert said in a deep voice, "The appearance of monsters is indeed very suspicious. .”
As for Span, although he didn't speak, his expression was slightly disapproving.
Obviously, Si Pan didn't believe Ruo Lin's words.
The experienced Knight Spann could tell how skilled this female knight was, and he judged that this female knight was not very skilled. The favor of the noble young master is probably due to her pretty face...and those beautiful long legs.
Into the frozen forests of the north? How many times? Lie ghost!
The search was carried out all afternoon, but everyone found nothing, not even traces of monsters or feces.
There was no movement from the other two search parties.
Looking at the sky and the setting sun, Knight Span suggested that everyone take a rest first, and then go back to the city together while the sky is still bright, and come back tomorrow morning to continue the search.
Such a decision is entirely a helpless move because of Du Wei's existence.
Without this distinguished young master, Span's original plan was to continue the search overnight. But now that the team brought such a young master who couldn't be touched or dropped, Si Pan didn't dare to do anything wrong, and safety was the top priority. Otherwise, looking for monsters on the mountain at night will increase the danger a bit.
During the break, Robert arranged for people to guard the surroundings, and Span sent two archers under him to climb up the big tree on the spot to observe the surrounding environment.
"Ruo Lin." Seeing that Ruo Lin was going to straighten the saddle, Du Wei suddenly called out to his female knight.
"What are your orders, master?"
"I believe in you." Du Wei said in a low voice, which made Ruolin's body tremble. The female knight turned her face to look at Du Wei.
Du Wei was playing with an unknown wild flower in his hand, with a leisurely smile on his face: "I know, that Knight of Spann doesn't believe you, he thought you were bragging."
A wry smile appeared on Ruo Lin's face.
Is it just bragging? I'm afraid he thinks she is a lowly woman who trades her beauty and body for knight status.
Moreover, not only this Span, but even the soldiers of Luo Lin's family, I am afraid that most people think so...
A trace of helplessness welled up in Ruolin's heart.
"I believe you." Du Wei said in a low voice. He walked up a few steps slowly, looked at the helpless expression on Ruo Lin's face, and smiled, "Because it just so happens that I know that you are a descendant of the Muen tribe. And It's also just right. According to an ancient book I've read, the Munn people have a natural ability. If there's nothing wrong with what's written in that book... I don't think you entered that frozen forest. Difficult things. Even if you encounter a lot of monsters, it will not be too dangerous for you."
Ruolin was even more surprised, she lost her voice: "This... you know?"
"Books." Du Wei smiled: "Books are the source of human knowledge. Reading more books is always beneficial."
As he spoke, the half-grown boy walked up to Ruo Lin's side, patted Ruo Lin's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "My female knight, we have to work hard. Otherwise, others will look down on you." Well. For example, today, don’t you see? They all regard me as a burden. And you are my first honorary knight, and we all have to work hard to make some appearances.”
Ruo Lin carefully looked at this half-grown boy, but felt that these two words fell into her ears, and couldn't help stirring up a warm current in her heart!
yes! They all think of me as the kind of woman who gets her way up the ladder by sleeping with men! And the one who really respects and trusts me is the little master in front of me!
Ruolin couldn't help but bowed her head deeply to Du Wei, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Yes, my master. Ruolin will definitely work hard and never let your honor be humiliated!"
After a short rest, Span immediately gathered people and prepared to go down the mountain. He had someone send out a signal to contact the other two teams. Soon, the other party responded. Another team was actually not far from Du Wei and the others. Judging from the place where the signal was sent, The distance between the two sides is only about one mile.
The two knights immediately ordered everyone to line up and join up with their companions.
But when everyone was halfway there, even Robert Cavalier, who was at the forefront of the team, could already see the companions in the front team waving to his side...
At this moment, a shrill roar came from the side! Immediately, I saw a huge figure rushing quickly from the nearby woods! This big guy was covered with flames soaring to the sky, running all the way, the trees on both sides and the vegetation on the ground were scorched by the flames!
"... Demonic Beast?! Who was the one who yelled first, and then everyone was startled immediately!
"Line up!!" A calm voice came from behind the crowd, Robert Knight had drawn his broadsword, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Line up, outflank it! Don't let it run away! Archers get ready! Front Raise your shields!"
A series of orders came from Robert's mouth quickly. After all, more than half of these people were the guards of the Luo Lin family. Robert's voice immediately calmed everyone down.
And Spann's movements were not slow, he had already gathered the archers and ordered all the archers to go up the tree immediately.
That monster didn't know what was going on, but it just jumped out at this moment, as if it wasn't afraid of so many humans in front of it.
Du Wei finally got his wish and saw the legendary monster with his own eyes.
This guy is bigger than Du Wei imagined, as big as an elephant, with a huge strange horn on his forehead, rough and thick skin, limbs and hooves as thick as pillars, trampling on the soil like Fly, rushing over, and let out a shrill roar, his whole body was on fire!
Such a weird and vicious guy, with flames all over his body, made it difficult for everyone to stop him. The soldiers who were originally lined up held up their shields and did not dare to block him, so they had no choice but to dodge the road. They shot arrows one after another, but the arrows shot at it didn't seem to be able to cause much damage to it.
Fortunately, this guy is huge, but his running speed is very slow. Everyone shouted, and immediately a soldier picked up a spear to threaten it from a distance.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a flaming rhinoceros." It was Ruo Lin who spoke, and she seemed to be relieved. The female knight stood beside Du Wei, and even took half a step forward to block Du Wei's body. Her voice was not loud, and she seemed to be explaining to Du Wei alone: "The flame rhinoceros is one of the lowest-level monsters, and there is nothing scary about it except that it is stronger and can catch fire. And its running speed is very slow, as long as With a few hard bows, it is equivalent to a fire target."
Ruolin's words were heard by Robert, and he immediately ordered loudly: "Stand up the spear! Block it!"
The flaming rhino ran a few steps, but found that the front, rear, left, and right were blocked by humans, and the rows of spears stood up to face him. The flaming rhino didn't dare to hit it head-on. The flesh is thick, but it is far from reaching the point where the sword does not hurt those high-level monsters. After screaming a few times, it didn't dare to hit the row of spears after all, so it could only stop hastily, then turned around and fled in other directions, but its weakness of slow action was also exposed.
The soldiers quickly outflanked it from both sides, and quickly blocked its route. At the same time, the archers on the tree were still shooting arrows. Although those bows and arrows did not cause much damage to it, they were numerous after all. The arrow still stuck in the flame rhino's back.
The flame rhino was surrounded by humans a few times, its range of activities became smaller and smaller, and its roar became more and more anxious. At this time, Du Wei's magician Solskjaer made a move.
The magician had already raised his hands, and the sleeves under his robe were shaking rapidly, and then amidst the howling sound, several fireballs flew out of his hands and shot at the flaming rhinoceros.
Bang! Just under dozens of pairs of eyes, a few fireballs accurately hit the monster, and the flames burst into flames, and everyone was almost forced to keep their eyes open by the red light!
An angry and unwilling roar was heard next to the ear, and then the flame rhinoceros suddenly burst into red light! And then, whoosh, under the gaze of so many eyes...
Disappeared! !
Many soldiers were stunned for a moment, but then everyone burst into cheers!
It seems that the magician is still very powerful
But these ignorant soldiers didn't realize that the magician Solskjaer himself was dazed and confused.
Disappeared
I used the fireball technique, but even if the fireball technique could burn this guy to death, it wouldn't leave a corpse behind!
Ordinary soldiers don't understand this, but Robert and Spann, who are fourth-level knights, do!
The moment the flaming rhinoceros suddenly disappeared in place, the two showed expressions of surprise and uneasiness, and then when the crowd was still cheering, Robert had already shouted loudly: "Everyone back up! Be careful!!"
Du Wei was also stunned. When he saw the monster disappear suddenly, he couldn't help asking: "Ruo Lin, will this monster's body disappear after it dies?"
"No!" Ruo Lin also changed color: "This thing... the corpse disappeared, I have never seen it before."
At this moment, suddenly at the place where the flaming rhinoceros disappeared just now, a blue flame shot up into the sky! Then there was a sharp and loud howl from the flames!
This is clearly the sound of a wolf howling!
Then, in this blue flame, a giant wolf suddenly jumped out!
This giant wolf has ice blue fur, but it looks like it has crystallized! And its body is huge and powerful, with claws like sharp blades! The movement is as fast as the wind!
After seeing it flashing, there were already a few soldiers crying out in pain...
Immediately, the wolf howled, and suddenly saw a wind blade shoot out of its mouth!
"Storm Demon Wolf! It's the Storm Demon Wolf!!" Span let out an exclamation, and the knight's face changed dramatically, with a deep sense of fear.
This guy who jumped out suddenly was exactly what Si Pan said when he was chatting with Du Wei and others just now. The monster of the magic wolf!
But it wasn't the devil wolf itself that made Span afraid... but, this is too weird!
I've never heard of a flame rhinoceros that will transform into a storm wolf after it dies!
It was too late to think too much, this magic wolf really did what Span said, the fur of its body was crystallized, and it was hard to hurt with a sword! And its speed is also extremely agile, coupled with its sharp teeth and claws, after a few pounces, soldiers screamed and were injured under its claws.
And when the wind blade shot out, the two soldiers who were holding the shields were shot immediately, the shields in their hands burst immediately, and the two soldiers were also directly thrown into the air!
Du Wei saw it from a distance, and couldn't help sighing: What a powerful guy!
"Ruolin, can monsters transform? Can the flame rhinoceros transform into something else? But the appearance of these two things is very different."
"No! Master, it seems something is wrong! The monster we met seems to be... a kind I don't know. It is definitely not an ordinary flame rhino!" In front of him, he stared closely at the demon wolf in the distance.
With a loud shout, Robert had already leaped forward with big strides, and a silver light appeared on the broad sword in his hand! He quickly slashed towards the demon wolf.
Ruolin couldn't help her eyes brighten up in the distance: "Grudge!"
The wolf seemed to be able to sense the threat posed by the light on Robert's sword edge. It didn't dare to use its body to carry it hard. Instead, it jumped away with a shake of its body, and with a sideways attack, it aimed at Robert's chest and shoulders. Caught it.
Robert shouted loudly, bowed his body slightly, and the broad sword in his hand came across, a ray of light split from the edge of his sword, and stabbed fiercely at the wolf's abdomen!
This devil wolf is really powerful, it can change direction in mid-air! With a twist of its torso, it actually dodged Robert's grudge attack. After falling, its front claws quickly slid past Robert's arm!
With a snort, Robert snorted, and there were a few bloodstains on his arm immediately. Fortunately, the magic wolf estimated that his sharp sword did not advance, so the injury was not serious.
At this moment, a shout came, and Span in the distance made a move! He grabbed the spear of a soldier beside him and threw it vigorously!
The spear turned into a shooting star and nailed fiercely to the back of the wolf! It's just that when everyone heard a ding, they couldn't pierce it in, but were bounced away instead! It can be seen the crystallized hardness of this demon wolf!
It's just that even though Spang's spear attack was under his shoulder, the demon wolf seemed to be very uncomfortable. It was also rolled a few times by the impact force, and when it got up again, it seemed that the speed had also slowed down a bit. Still hurt a little bit.
"Solskjaer, make a move!" Robert shouted, raised his sword and raised his sword again, forcing the wolf back again and again with several consecutive sword strikes.
The magician in the distance was summoned, quickly raised his hand, and quickly shot a few fireballs again.
Bang bang bang!
Continuous fireballs hit the past, some hit the surrounding ground, and only three hit the wolf.
The demon wolf obviously repelled this kind of fire magic, howled, and became more and more awkward. Robert who was next to him caught up, saw the opportunity and slashed down with his sword, hitting the wolf's tail!
When everyone was chatting just now, it seemed that Knight Spann mentioned that the weakness of this kind of storm wolf is its tail! Robert firmly remembered.
Sure enough, after cutting off the wolf's tail with a sword, the wolf let out a howl and fell down with a sway, but then Robert saw a burst of light from the end of his sword!
After the light, not only the body of the demon wolf disappeared in the light, but even the severed tail disappeared!
disappear? Play this hand again
Du Wei shouted loudly in the distance: "Everyone, be careful, this thing is about to transform again!"
Robert's face also turned cold, and he was about to speak...
Suddenly, a deep roar came from the sky! It's like the roar of a lion!
Then the lion roared more and more, far away, I don't know how many lions are coming here!
Is it a pride of lions? Hell, this is a plain! How could there be a large number of lions
Listening to the voice approaching from far away, Knight Robert suddenly seemed to realize something. The expression on his face twisted instantly, and he suddenly yelled, "Be careful! Be careful everyone, it's..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone had already seen it! I saw a group of things that spread their wings and swooped down in the sky! These things blot out the sky! They have sharp claws, feathers as hard as steel, and... howl like a lion!
"Griffin!! It's a group of Griffin!
As if the nightmares of the past years reappeared, Robert Knight showed a look of despair on his face! He had personally experienced facing a group of griffins, what a terrible experience it was!
With so few people now, meeting such a large group of terrifying creatures, what awaits everyone is almost nothing but a massacre! !
But before the knight finished speaking, the screams had already been heard, and the two soldiers had been pierced by the griffin's sharp claws and thrown far away!
Amidst the flying flesh and blood, a large group of griffins rushed down from the sky one by one...
Ruolin's expression turned extremely ugly, she threw Du Wei to the ground...
