The farmer said: "Two days ago, little Kaido went out to play and met a few foreigners who looked very gentle. They were having fun at first, but then, those few of them grabbed little Kaido and rushed in. He seemed to be looking for something in the manor, but when he didn’t find it, he beat the housekeeper.”
The farmer stopped when he said this.
Andonara asked anxiously: "What's next?"
The farmer took a breath and continued: "At that time, Village Chief Cage was not at home. He went to Dongfeng City. When he came back, he heard what the steward told him about the matter, so he took his sword and went out to save people with the steward. Now. Now There’s been no news for two days.”
"Which direction did they go?"
"Going in the direction of Winterwind City."
As soon as Andonara heard this, she hurried out.
But Roland grabbed her and said, "Don't be anxious yet, continue to ask questions first."
Then Roland looked at the farmer and asked, "Do you remember what those people looked like? What do they look like?"
The farmer thought for a while and said: "They are all young people, all with blond hair and blue eyes."
Hearing this, Roland had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the farmer continued: "The strangest thing is that they have a black leaf mark on their face."
Roland was stunned for a moment and fell silent.
Andonara was surprised at first, and then became angry.
The clothes on her body moved automatically without any wind, and the long braid behind her kept swaying.
The farmer has grown up watching Andonara. Even though Anna has been very powerful since she was a child, he has never been afraid of the girl in front of him, but now, he feels afraid.
It was a feeling similar to being stared at by a giant dragon, and the body wanted to urinate and poop completely uncontrollably.
The farmer has never seen a dragon, let alone been stared at by a dragon, but this does not prevent him from having similar feelings.
"Calm down."
Roland put his hand on Andonara's shoulder.
Andonara's momentum dropped instantly.
Although still angry, it is no longer scary.
"Obviously, it was our Golden Son who did it." Roland took the initiative to take Andonara's hand: "Let's go, don't worry, things shouldn't be too bad. After all, Cage's strength is not weak, it's just a few A player who is killed and loses his rank should not be his opponent."
Andona nodded obediently.
In the past, Andonara's hand was smooth and warm, but now, it is a bit cold. Now that her respected and beloved relatives are in danger, this little woman who has been insecure since she was a child will naturally feel at a loss in her heart.
The goddess of life was right, Andonara was essentially just a little woman.
Walking in the direction of Winterwind City, Roland summoned White Amber, a familiar that he had almost never used.
After Bai Amber appeared, she looked around, then climbed onto Roland's shoulder and said in surprise: "Master, this is the first time you summoned me from a long distance. Did you encounter some problem?"
"Yes." Roland nodded: "You will follow Andonara later and act as a communication bridge between the two of us. Do you understand?"
Bai Amber nodded: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for protecting the queen."
"Sorry to trouble you," Roland said.
Although White Amber's combat effectiveness is not very strong, she has night vision capabilities and healing methods. Being by Andonara's side has a great auxiliary effect.
The two then separated to inquire about the news. Roland flew directly into the air to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, while Andonara went directly to Winterwind City.
Winterwind City is being rebuilt, but the Mercenary Guild and the Assassin Guild are already operational. The intelligence capabilities of these two guilds are quite good, so there is nothing wrong with finding them at this time.
In a small forest about ten kilometers east of Dongfeng City, six players with black leaves on their faces were warming themselves up by the fire.
A little boy with blond hair and blue eyes sat next to him, with tears in his eyes, gritting his teeth desperately to prevent himself from crying.
This boy is Kaido.
The cause of the matter is not too complicated.
These Black Leaf players are quite smart. Although they were killed several times, they kept hiding in the woods. They drank stream water when they were thirsty, ate wild fruits when they were hungry, and hunted some game. They managed to escape the massacre. .
Then they inadvertently passed the village of Reed while moving towards the border with Hollevan.
Information exchange in Reed Village is quite poor, and the villagers have no idea what a Black Leaf player is.
Same goes for Kaido.
After these Black Leaf players came to Reed Village, they began to behave very well.
Everything he eats and drinks is bought with money, and he is kind to others.
Then Kaido, who was playing in the village, got curious and looked at the players when he saw them.
These Black Leaf players didn't want to do anything to Cage at first. They even played well with Kaido.
After all, it is Chinese nature to like to amuse children.
Kaido became more enthusiastic when he saw that they were easy to talk to.
Children will always trust more when they meet someone who is good to them, and they will easily tell secret things.
Cage said that his father is very powerful and his cousin is the queen, which only made the Black Leaf players laugh.
It’s just that Kaido was only over six years old. Seeing that the players didn’t believe his words and showing off in a child’s unique mentality, he naively revealed the news: “My sister Andonara originally had brown hair and eyes. , after taking the medicine given by my father, I turned into blond hair and blue eyes, and became so powerful."
At this time, the players were suddenly pleasantly surprised.
None of the players know that the queen of the Roland family has changed her appearance and become powerful.
At that time, some players continued to talk.
Finally, Kaido said: "My father said that the last bottle of medicine is for me. When I grow up, as long as I take that bottle of medicine, I will become as powerful as my sister."
In fact, Kaido cannot know about the blood of Phoenix.
But when Kaido saw his eldest sister's appearance changed, he vigorously asked his father what was going on.
After asking for a long time, Cage couldn't bear it, so he gave the general reason.
Thinking about it in Cage, Reed Village is very remote. Generally, there are no occupations that people would develop here. Moreover, even if there are professionals passing by, they may not be able to talk to children, and even if they do, they usually won't talk to them. If this child's words are true, how can you believe it
But the Black Leaf players just believed it.
Because of the example of Andonara.
Immediately, they tied up Kaido and rushed to the manor to search for the blood of Phoenix.
When he couldn't find it, he beat the butler and left a message. If he wanted to redeem Kaido, he would bring the bottle of medicine that can make people stronger.
After Cage, who had returned from Winterwind City, found out about this, he came over on the spot with his long sword.
But after being trapped by several players and breaking an arm, he escaped.
It is winter, there is snow and frost everywhere, and a group of people are sitting around the fire.
In fact, with the physique of professionals, even magicians will not be affected much by this temperature.
But no matter what, having a fire always makes people feel at ease.
Besides, there is a child here.
A bored player who put dead branches into the fire suddenly said: "That man named Cage will definitely come again. He doesn't have much fighting power now. Do you think he will bring the medicine?"
"Maybe." Jace said with a gloomy face: "After all, he only has one son. I think he should think clearly about whether the medicine or the son is more important."
"But there's only one bottle of medicine, how do we divide it?"
"Whoever offers more money will take it." Jace said calmly.
"If we can be as strong as Roland's queen, it doesn't matter even if we have black leaves on our face." A player said: "A dozen people are no match for us. When there are more people, we will run away, no matter who can stop us. This way The game can be said to be a second life, and I don’t want to quit playing.”
Everyone was silent.
No one wants to quit traveling, and they certainly don’t want to either.
That's why I hide here and there like this.
Besides, they understand one thing very well.
Sometimes even if you do something wrong, as long as you are strong enough, the wrong thing may go away.
Especially this world.
As long as they are as strong as Andonara, anyone who wants to deal with them must weigh their own capabilities.
Power is everything in this world.
As long as you get the medicine bottle, leave the country, develop in a remote place, put on a mask, and become a legend or a demigod, then the black leaves on your face will mean nothing.
"No matter who gets the medicine, you have to remember that we must stay together to survive. If you get the medicine, you will leave the group. Don't be rude to me."
Everyone else nodded.
They know very well that the power of the collective is always much stronger than the individual.
The more times this happens, the more we need to stick together.
Then several people fell silent again.
Not long after, there was the sound of heavy footsteps directly in front of them, and the sound of heavy footsteps on the snow.
All seven Black Leaf players stood up, and one of them walked up to Kaido and put his sword on Kaido's shoulder.
Kaido looked at the sharp blade emerging from his side, and was so frightened that his body trembled even more. Although tears fell a little bit, he gritted his teeth hard and did not cry at all.
"Let go of my child." Cage, wearing leather armor, saw this scene more than ten meters away. He was extremely angry and at the same time felt extremely distressed.
He hated himself for telling such important information to an ignorant child.
I haven't been a mercenary for several years, has my intelligence and vigilance dropped to this point
Obviously, I was almost killed by these golden sons before, but it didn't even register in my memory.
I deserve so much damn.
Cage used his good left hand to take out the blood of Phoenix from his clothes and showed it to several others.
"Children of gold, this is the blood you want." Cage said with a stern face: "You can let my son go now. Let him leave first. When he is safe, I will give you the blood. Otherwise, I would rather Throw it to the ground and no one will get any benefit."
Jace tilted his head, and the player controlling Kaido put away his sword.
A smile appeared on Cage's stubble-covered face: "Kaido, leave here immediately and run out of the woods. The housekeeper will pick you up outside."
"If I don't leave, they will bully you, dad. Your hands are gone. It must be so painful. It's Kaido's fault. You shouldn't talk to these bad uncles."
At this point, Kaido finally couldn't help it and cried loudly, his voice pitiful and helpless in the cold wind.
When several players saw this situation, their expressions were a little unbearable.
Jace said: "Let him go quickly. As long as you are willing to give us the blood intact, you can leave too."
