Ding! Ding!
After the transparent filament touched the one-person tall magic crystal, there was a sound of metal impact, and then, it penetrated into it like drill bits one by one.
The little man looked at something in the magic crystal with a sneer, and twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain—the most troublesome thing about a lich is the continuous resurrection. Therefore, if you want to kill a lich completely, the other party His soul box must be found, otherwise, he will always face continuous troubles.
Definitely troublesome for an enemy that never really dies.
And the new king undoubtedly has the potential to become such an enemy; however, it is a pity that he met an opponent like the little man who could be called the natural enemy of undead and undead creatures.
It's very easy, don't imagine it's easier, the little man found the soul box hidden in the magic crystal, and then manipulated his own tentacles, regardless of the other party's begging for mercy, and mercilessly plunged in; The new king's curses and insults ended this 'treasure hunt'.
"To be able to hide the soul box in the magic crystal... It's really whimsical!"
Looking at his friend's actions, Ava guessed what was going on, and couldn't help but sigh immediately.
"Most people will never be willing to destroy such a big magic crystal, so it is absolutely safe; but..." the little man shrugged, "It looks a bit awkward here, a seat, a table , plus such a huge magic crystal, no matter how you look at it, it looks weird, even if there is an oil painting hanging here... Of course. More importantly, my nose is sensitive to these undead and undead creatures! "
In the end. The little man couldn't help but smile smugly. And Ava spread his hands, showing an expression that he couldn't help you.
The teasing among friends is sometimes so childish in the eyes of outsiders, but the emotions contained in it are unimaginable to ordinary people.
The big man standing on the beam looked at the two friends who came out. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he looked at the little man again, he couldn't help being taken aback: "Datong, why do you look so refreshed? It seems that you have soaked in a summer bathhouse all afternoon, and gulped. Drink a glass of cold beer!"
"I don't have cold beer, but there is no shortage of great tonics, and, of course, I want to feel refreshed after venting the anger of being played with!"
After the little man smiled and told what happened in the secret passage, the big man said happily: "Your thing, please. Found it?"
The little man shrugged his shoulders and tossed the box in his hand up and down.
"Very good!"
The big man cheered.
"In addition to this. I also found some valuable things... However, we need to hurry to the agreed place now!"
While talking about the little man, he jumped off the beam and walked towards the back of the throne in the hall—the only thing they gained before was that they found a way to leave; so they didn’t have to break the support above their heads to rush out and let the treasure here There is an opportunity to be transported.
The big man and Ava followed behind the little man without any hesitation, and the three of them jumped into the secret passage that had already been explored—this is not a teleportation array similar to the "God's Gate". As a way to leave, it is a very primitive secret passage, but the length of the excavation is extremely astonishing, almost ten kilometers or so.
And at the end of the secret road is a piece of Gobi—judging from the surface that is almost dried to ashes, Ava can conclude that this place was once a medium-sized oasis.
After making a special mark here, the three of them quickly headed towards the fourth oasis in the west—there was the agreed meeting place between them and Ye Qi.
As for why you choose there
In the desert, is there any place more obvious than an oasis
The speed of the three of them was very fast, it only took an hour from departure to arrival, and when the three of them were already standing on the land of the oasis, there was still a difference of about ten minutes from the time agreed by Ye Qi; Arriving as promised, the three of the little ones expressed their joy, the big one directly took out two water bags from the bag, and threw them to the little one and Ava, and the three of them just sat on the grass in the oasis, drinking water. Shui was waiting for Ye Qi's return.
As time passed, when the appointed time had come, but Ye Qi hadn't appeared yet, the little man couldn't help frowning, the big man and Ava also put down the water bags, and looked around—even with the most perfect There will be accidents in the plan, which is inevitable and everyone agrees.
It's just that no one wants such an accident to happen, especially when one's friends are involved.
While the three of them were waiting anxiously, a black spot appeared on the horizon.
"It's Groening!"
The big man shouted loudly, and the little man and Ava also saw Groning, and the latter whistled with a special rhythm in his mouth, guiding the way for Groning.
However, when Groening was flying a little closer, the hearts of the three sank. They only saw Groening himself, and Ye Qi, who was supposed to be sitting on the horseback, disappeared!
Almost before Groening landed, the three jumped up and met Groning at an extremely fast speed. Then, they searched on the saddle—this is the previous agreement, there has been a change, Ye Qi Where the message will be left.
As for the reins
Ye Qi would never use such things to restrain Groning. Even the saddle was put on the horse's back after discussing with Groning for comfort and obtaining the latter's consent.
"Koska... dry woods..."
The little man whispered a secret language that only the four of them could understand; the big man on the side felt a little familiar when he heard the name 'Koska', but he didn't have any impression when he thought about it carefully. , and the same is true for Ava.
"Does the name Koshka sound familiar?"
When it landed on the meadow of the fourth oasis, the little man asked suddenly, and the big man and Ava were on the same side. Especially big ones. He replied directly: "I think I should have heard of this name somewhere. But now I can't remember exactly where I heard such a name!"
"The end of the holy age..."
"The last pope!"
The little man gave a reminder, and before the little man finished speaking, the big man and Ava reacted.
"Shouldn't he be dead already? Why did he appear here!" The voice of the big man was full of surprise, but the voice of the little man was very flat: "What's so strange about it? For that pope, feigning death is not What is difficult, on the contrary according to the situation at the time. It is still a relief!"
"relief?"
The big man was a little puzzled.
"The situation at that time was already extremely dangerous for the Holy See, and there was no possibility of winning at all; and on this basis, they chose to abandon Lorant's approach and entered the bridge to the other side instead!" The little man analyzed and expressed his opinion, "Or, at the beginning, they had planned to rely on the bridge of the other side to make a comeback, but a series of changes occurred afterwards, and the bridge of the other side had a change that caught them off guard— Therefore, His Majesty the Pope naturally continued to hide until Ye appeared!"
"He gave up his original hiding for Ye?"
The big man scratched his head in puzzlement—although the simple and honest big man doesn't like to use his brains, he still understands the general situation; just like the Pope Koska in front of him, since he has been hiding for more than two hundred and fifty years, why? Will it suddenly appear again
Although his friend's situation was somewhat special, the big man didn't think it was worth the Pope's giving up the concealment and conspiracy of more than two hundred and fifty years.
"Obviously, Ye did something he couldn't tolerate, forcing him to get angry—however, this possibility is not great..." The little man said thinking, "It should still be the 'Extreme Blade' walking Rumors played a role; after all, the key to the 'Road to Immortality', he might not be tempted!"
This time, the little man's guess was somewhat wrong.
For the key to the 'Road of Immortality', although the Pope Koska was moved, he would not give up his hiding and plan because of this.
As for the loss of the Quartet forces
Although there are a few legendary strongmen in the extraordinary realm, and one has a close relationship with him, but these will not attract him to take the initiative to stand up.
It was something that happened inside the Holy See that made him have to stand up.
For such a thing, it is naturally impossible for a small man who is a demon hunter to guess, and the same is true for Ye Qi.
"What do we do now?"
The big man asked, and Ava also looked at the little man.
"Go back to Luanzhi Town and wait for news from Ye!"
The little man said bluntly, and then, squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment, he said, "The news of His Majesty's appearance should be notified to the headquarters..."
"Is this necessary?"
The big man looked at his friend with some puzzlement, and the little man said: "You must know that we are absolutely alone now, without support from the rear, we are really passive!"
Hearing the little man's explanation, the big man was still a little puzzled, so the little man had no choice but to say bluntly: "We need to make the headquarters take action, attract the attention of the Holy See, and use the Holy See to influence the Pope in the Bridge of the Other Bank." Take action to create more opportunities for Ye!"
"So it is!"
The big man was stunned for a while.
"Then, let's go!"
After the little man finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards Luanzhi Town. The big man, Ava and Groning followed closely behind - since it has been decided to notify the headquarters, then go to Luanzhi Town The speed naturally needs to be faster; after all, only there will be a long-distance communication array.
…
Shark, Central Castle, Land of the Six Towers.
In the Tower of Moonlit Night, Hessel, the old tower owner rarely bowed his head in the official document, but stood in front of the window of his study with a cup of scented tea mixed with honey, looking through the glass at the lively scene below. Scenario—A new group of trainee apostles arrived at Shark's witcher headquarters long before the Harvest Festival.
And after a period of training, these young people have undoubtedly adapted to the life here, especially there are a few good seedlings, which made the acting president of the Demon Hunter headquarters. A tinge of relief was felt; of course. This kind of comfort also has his slightly leisurely life at the moment.
After more than two years of training. Ted, the burly man who had been following him all the time, was finally able to resist one side, and Nofa, under the order of Pedenanger, began to quickly accept the daily affairs in the headquarters. With the young man's help, he was finally freed from the endless review of official documents.
It can be said. For two years or three years, this period of time was the most comfortable life for Hessel. He drank a little tea every day and read the important things. He has returned to the life suitable for him as an old man, not to mention how comfortable it is.
Even his old friend was envious.
There is a need for comparison at any time, when he is busy. Looking at his old friend, he was naturally extremely leisurely. But when he was completely leisurely, he went to see his old friend. He was naturally extremely busy—the Tower of Sacred Objects. Providing services to demon hunters, especially low-magic items such as apostle trench coats, which are almost consumables, and the amount of demand will make people feel like a rhythm of collapse.
In this regard, Hessel took his scented tea and inspected it very freely, then nodded in satisfaction, and walked back to his moonlit night amidst his friend's pleas. tower.
As for the friend's entreaties
He has just escaped from the busy sea of suffering, and he will not sink himself into it again; if you want to help, you have to wait until he has enough rest.
With a soft sigh full of comfort, Hessel turned around and walked towards his desk—don’t get me wrong, there isn’t any document there, only a pot of honey, a pot of hot tea, and some spices; He needs to add some honey to his scented tea to make it more sweet and delicious.
Step, step, step...
However, just as Hessel picked up the wooden spoon for scooping up the honey, the sound of heavy but powerful footsteps sounded.
"Ted, come in!"
Hesel could tell who was coming just by hearing the footsteps, so he spoke directly without the slightest pause; at the same time, Hesel put down his teacup, knowing that Ted would not be able to use ordinary things. Those who came to disturb him, and once they appeared, it must be a big deal.
Looking at his teacup, Hesel couldn't help but sighed, lamenting that his leisurely days ended so soon; however, as the tower owner of the Moonlight Tower and the acting president of the Demon Hunter Headquarters, Hesel Naturally understanding what he was going to do, he sat up straight on the chair, looked at Ted who walked in, and asked, "Ted, what happened?"
"Urgent news from Luanzhi Town in the dry forest area!"
Ted handed the document to Hessel with both hands, and after the old man took the document, he continued: "Ye Qi and his party went to the Bridge of the Other Bank, where they met the dead Koska..."
"Koska?!"
Hesel was startled, and then, frowning, he immediately opened the document in his hand; as he read, the frown became tighter and tighter, and his face became more dignified at the end.
"Go and invite the four tower masters, Blank, Germond, Pedenanger, and Mordred!"
Hesel ordered directly.
"Yes, my lord!"
Ted bowed in response, and then quickly left Hessel's study.
After Ted left, the old man Hessel couldn't help but wryly smiled: "Although I knew something big would happen, I didn't expect it to be such a big thing...Ye Qi, you really are Like that teacher of yours, they are all capable of causing trouble!"
"Where did this bastard John and Ward go? They haven't been seen until now, and Kutcher has also disappeared without a trace... What a group of irresponsible guys!"
Hesel, who was sighing, couldn't help muttering when he mentioned Ye Qi's teacher; obviously, such muttering naturally made the old man feel dissatisfied, especially when he thought of the absolutely famous teacher. Your Excellency the Juggernaut, you are always so lazy and unmotivated, hiding somewhere to cheat food and drink, or simply drink so much that you don’t know what day it is today. This old man with a good temper always wants to catch him In front of him, he was beaten hard.
Of course, the bad friend of the good friend, the old Ward who only knows how to cheat money from the headquarters of the witcher.
These two guys are completely in collusion!
but…
well!
The old man who obviously thought of something, suddenly sighed, his gritted teeth expression became helpless, and his whole person was caught in a kind of thoughts and memories.
It wasn't until Pedenanger, the Tower Master of Wisdom, pushed the door open that Hesel came back to his senses.
"Koska, isn't he dead?"
As soon as he entered Hessel's study, Petnanger asked like this, with a touch of coldness in his tone.
But Hessel handed over the document just sent from the dry forest area with a wry smile, and replied helplessly: "If the information is correct, he should not be dead!"
Petnanger, who was silent, took the document directly and read it carefully. After a long while, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Hmph, it really is a scourge that lasted for a thousand years!"
"Pednange, don't get excited, don't forget your oath and...that contract!" Hessel repeatedly reminded, "You can't take action against the people of the Holy See, and you can't leave Shaker again!"
