Hearing Soldering's words, Gawain's first reaction was to be taken aback: "Have you been hacked by the cultists? You crossed the Typhon border once, and you were not discovered by the Typhon defenders, but were hacked by the cultists instead?"
"A lot of things have happened..." Soldering sighed slightly, "After traveling on the mainland for seven hundred years, unexpected things still happen..."
"Sit down first, drink some water and rest," Gawain asked Solderin to sit down and rest quickly, while frowning at the dark red bloodstains that had dried up on the other party's clothes—Mr. I got a black cloak and a dark brown coat that wandering adventurers often wear. There are no signs of damage on these two pieces of clothing, but there are traces of blood oozing and drying, which shows that the other party's wounds may be in a long period of time. Time didn't heal, "Amber, go get Pittman - put him on the poison ointment. Don't go through the windows…"
After the half-elf lady opened the window and went straight to the southwest in a dark light, Gawain looked away from the window and stared at Soldering's eyes: "With your strength, how could you be hurt to such a degree? You met What kind of cultist is it?"
"All things will perish," Soldering smiled wryly, and said a name that was familiar to Gawain but had a headache, "I was calculated... When I went to the monitoring station of the Great Wall, I met A silver elf druid who calls herself Berna, she is a cultist in disguise... "
The high-level ranger told Gao Wen how he was attacked by the cultists in a few minutes, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help frowning and added: "To be honest, I'm a little uneasy. Although the Rui organization has always been very active, their main destruction and activities have been limited to the human kingdom and some mountain kingdoms in the west of the continent. They have never reached out to the head of the silver elves... The pinnacle of the Doomsday Cultist has sneaked into the monitoring station of the elves. I am worried that they are planning something that is not good for the Silver Empire or even the Great Wall... "
Gao Wen said while thinking, "Have you reported the situation to your home country?"
"Of course," Soldering nodded, "After forcing the other party back, I went back to the monitoring station and reported the situation. The Elven King's Court has already known about it and said that it will investigate immediately, but you also know that in the future The cunning of those cultists... Their real purpose is often hidden in the actions that disrupt the sight layer by layer. I am afraid that we will have to wait until they cause damage before we can figure out what those crazy guys want to do... Originally, I was going to The monitoring station is resting for a while, but I am worried that those cultists will have follow-up actions against Ansu, so I rushed back first to let you know about the situation."
Speaking of this, a hesitation suddenly appeared on Soldering's face, and Gawain noticed it immediately: "What else do you find?"
"I don't know if it's an illusion," Solderin shook his head, "When I was fighting that cultist, I always had a feeling of being targeted. She seemed to understand my fighting style and habits... If it wasn't for the fact that I carried I bought some equipment beyond her expectations, I'm afraid I may not be able to come back in such a complete way."
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows immediately: "Could it be your acquaintance?"
"I'm not sure," Solderin shook his head. "The other party used another body and face at the time, which should be a fallen magic like flesh and blood fusion or devouring. This made it impossible for me to sense her true breath, and many Fallen druids are keen to use flesh and blood spells to reshape their physical bodies, even if it is really an 'acquaintance' standing in front of them, I will definitely not recognize it... "
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after the door of the study was opened, Gao Wen saw that besides Amber and Pittman, Hetty and Rebecca were also outside.
"We met on the road!" Rebecca was the first to yell, "I heard that Mr. Ranger is back, so let's take a look!"
This girl's curiosity is always strong, Gao Wen was not surprised by this, he just glanced at Hetty with a little curiosity: "It's rare that you will come to join in the fun with Rebecca."
Hetty didn't answer, but just smiled gently, and calmly shook the staff with the blood groove and eight horns in his hand, Gawain immediately understood: this eldest granddaughter is Rui Becca's Limiter…
"Let me take a look at your situation first," Pittman immediately entered the working state after entering the house, and walked towards Soldering while talking - although he usually wandered around the territory all day, fooling people, telling fortunes and selling fake medicines , but at this time it is still very easy to distinguish the priorities - the main reason is that if you can't distinguish, you will be easily slapped on the wall by Gao Wen, "Speaking of which, are you allergic to the ointment made by withered blood vine?"
Solderling unbuttoned the clothes near the wound while shaking his head: "I was allergic three hundred years ago, but now it's gone."
Withered blood vine is a potion material commonly used by human druids. It is very effective for neutralizing toxins in the blood and removing flesh and blood infected by toxins, but half of the silver elves are allergic to this medicinal material, so Pittman I asked specifically to prevent the side effects of the ointment I brought.
"Some allergies can be 'cured' through exposure to allergens to form adaptations, but if it is not necessary, it is better to be cautious." Like a conscientious professional physician, Pittman began to explain this matter Examine Solderin's wound.
Under the cover of Solderin's clothes, there is a wound that has been infected by toxins for many days and has not yet healed. The flesh and blood there is abnormally dark purple, and there are signs of dehydration like scorched black carbonization on the edge , but the blood oozing from the wound was bright red.
This weird "infection" is obviously affected by magical powers.
After checking for a while, Pittman looked up at Soldering: "You are quite good."
"The strength has almost died under the toxin," Soldering smiled, explaining to Pittman on the one hand, and explaining to Gawain on the other hand, "The fallen druids of the Doom Society are indeed very powerful. Powerful, I originally wanted to exchange injuries for injuries to keep the opponent, but I didn't expect it to be worthless... After experiencing the test of the wasteland of Gondor, most of the survivors have a high resistance to toxins, but this Made me paralyzed."
"Many of their poisonous spells have curse and elemental corrosion at the same time, pure poison resistance is not very effective," Pittman shook his head, "Fortunately, you are a high-level ranger, and your body has a strong self-healing ability. , you have already neutralized more than half of the toxin by yourself, so I should deal with it for you and it should be fine."
Soldering silently watched Pittman take out magical dust, leaves, ointment and other objects from the wooden suitcase he carried with him, and set up a small druid purification altar on the spot, and then began to use spells to disperse The curse remaining in his body was extremely poisonous, and he felt that the corrosive substances in his body that had tortured him for many days were fading at an extremely fast speed, so he couldn't help but say: "Your ritual spells are very powerful."
"I'm better at ceremonial druid spells," Pittman said casually as he sprinkled the last handful of magic dust on the magic circle painted with ointment on the floor that was igniting itself under the influence of magic power. This method of casting spells has a stronger effect, but it also consumes more spell materials, so don’t forget to give me the material money later.”
"Don't worry, I still have money for these materials," Soldering said dumbfoundedly, "but then again, the term 'ritual ritual spell' is really old, and only a few drews of the classical school Is the Islamic sect still using this term? Contemporary Druids have already combined ritual spells and sacrificial spells into 'ceremonial spells'... "
"I'm from the Ancestral Reincarnation Sect," Pittman said proudly, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed out, "so the spells and ointments here are absolutely authentic, you can't buy them anywhere else... "
Before he finished speaking, Rebecca next to him interrupted: "Hey, weren't you still the heart of the forest last time?"
"He still has the spirit of nature," Amber waved her hand, "Don't believe him, this old guy has read all the books of the druid faction in order to cheat money, and when the time comes, he will choose whichever the client believes..."
Solderling wasn't quite used to these strange rhythms beside Gawain, so he seemed a little embarrassed immediately, but luckily Gawain took the initiative to continue the topic: "Apart from encountering a cultist, is there anything else to report?"
"I was about to say," Solderin nodded immediately. He looked around the room and confirmed that all the leaders of Cecil's departments were here. Winter Wolf Castle on the border of Feng has also been attacked by mutants."
"Winter Wolf Castle?" Gawain frowned, "If I remember correctly, it's the fort where the Wendell family was stationed... It should be Andersa Wendell, the young wolf general, who controls Winter Wolf Castle now. .”
"Yes, I served in her army before," Soldering nodded, "The time difference between the attack on Winter Wolf Castle and the attack on Cecil Territory should be only a few days. I suspect that the same group of monsters split into two branches in the Dark Mountains... "
Gao Wen looked at Amber, who took the initiative to say without waiting for him to speak: "At present, the Military Intelligence Bureau has not reported - our intelligence network has just barely spread to all parts of the southern border, and there is no room for penetration into the eastern border and further Typhon. "
Gao Wen nodded. He also understood that the construction of the intelligence network did not happen overnight. Even with the aid of commercial networks and the unfavorable alchemy business, it would not be so easy to set up the military intelligence bureau.
"I'm afraid this news has already been sent to the desks of Francis II and the Emperor Typhon." Hetty is also a quick-thinking person, and unlike Rebecca, she is also quite a bit in dealing with various noble forces all the year round. Regarding the sensitivity of the situation, "Ancestor, the situation in the two countries may change."
"New news will come before the end of the recovery month at the latest," Gao Wen nodded, and turned to Amber, "step up the training and dispatch of new operators, and pay attention to collecting news from the direction of the Holy Spirit Plain, If I guess correctly, before resuming diplomatic activities, Francis II will first make some domestic moves."
