Otales moved quickly through the forest like a ghost, and the Grey Sword Saint followed far behind. The two of them moved forward in the forest for about a few minutes in tandem, but Otales suddenly frowned.
She raised her head in a certain direction. It seemed that the deeper the forest, the air faintly filled with the smell that made her feel long-lost.
"what."
"What's the matter?" Brando asked in his heart.
"It smells of blood, it's so rich that it can hardly be dissipated, is there any monster nearby?"
"Smell of blood? Go over and see—"
"This is not the time to be nosy, kid."
Brando didn't expect that Otales was so unfamiliar with the Black Forest-the monster itself feeds on magic power, and even if it occasionally attacks other animals, it shouldn't have a strong smell of blood. Brando was worried that the attacker was an adventurer, which meant that unknown dangers might lurks around him.
But it shouldn't be unexpected. Since the King of Flame Gilt also has the experience of trekking in the wilderness, the wind elves should not be better there. Or perhaps, the Black Forest of this era is different from the past? He shook his head and said, "Let's go and see, Master Otales."
"Oh?" These words caused Otales to stop suddenly, squinted her eyes and looked in that direction, and then shot away.
This sudden turn made Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles frown slightly, he slightly increased his vigilance and followed.
Otales-Brando didn't pay much attention to the Grey Sword Saint behind her. She walked through two or three forests of tall black pine covered with moss, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.
Then she stopped suddenly.
The forest in the valley suddenly opened up in front of the two of them. There was a small clearing in front of them, but the scene on the clearing was terrible. The original grassland seemed to be smeared with plasma, and there were human stumps and internal organs dipped in blood everywhere. The corpses were spread from one end to the other. There were at least one or two hundred, layered on top of each other. A thin layer of snow.
But Shirayuki was also soaked in crimson blood.
Otales and Brandozzi took a breath. Although the female knight was accustomed to the scene of fighting, she hadn't seen such a fierce battle for a long time in centuries.
The air was filled with a strong, sickening smell of blood.
"It's a person from the Temple of Flame." Brando recognized it at a glance: "Almost the entire army was destroyed." He saw the corpses of two lower priests under the corpses of the monks and soldiers, and confirmed this. a little.
At least two priests were killed in a battle, which is incredible.
In fact, the clergy in the Temple of Flame are divided into three categories. The first category is the high priests of various countries, with a total of eleven. It can be said that the Council of Flame composed of eleven high priests is the core of the temple's rights.
Then there are the great priests, priests and lower-rank priests in various regions. These people belong to different factions and are the backbone of the Temple of Flame. In order to truly become the existence of this class in the temple, in addition to having a firm belief in the golden fire served by the temple of flames, at least it must have the strength of the golden level.
The lower priests corresponded to the prepared Templar knights of the Temple of Flames, but their status was much higher, because the number was scarce, and each loss was a huge loss to the temple.
Therefore, every lower-rank priest should have at least three reserve Templar guards when performing tasks, which means that there are eight gold-ranked corpses here.
Brando took a breath of air, not because of the strength of the team in the Temple of Flames, but because of the fact that these guys got into trouble, such a powerful team ended up in such a miserable end, he immediately I remembered the corpses of the knights found in the Temple of Flame that were also found a few hours ago.
He frowned deeply, and this BOSS was too strong.
At this time, Otales heard a noise behind her, she turned her head and saw the gray sword saint stepping on the dead branches on the ground with the great sword on her shoulders, and the fog in the separated forest slowly walked out of it. But Mephistopheles chased Brando over, believing that the other side stopped him to lead him into a trap, but he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the miserable scene in front of him.
He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Attacked by a monster, right."
"Huh, the running dog of the Cruz people is worthy of the crime." Gray Sword Saint said nonchalantly. At this moment, the conversation between the two does not look like an enemy-if it hadn't been for the gray-haired man to take down the huge sword and point to the cloth. Lando's words: "Well, since you know you can't escape, you'd better go with me obediently."
Otales was startled, thinking that this guy is really a muscle, but she was about to take out the brooch that the Regent Princess gave Brando. At this moment, she suddenly heard Brando say to her in her heart:
"Something is coming to the west, Master Otales."
The female knight raised her eyebrows calmly: "How do you know?"
"My wind spirit spider is disappearing in a large area, it's coming." Brando's tone became rushed, and he felt that it was probably the BOSS that came. Those wind spirit spiders disappeared almost without warning.
"Wait, something came from the east." His tone changed suddenly.
Otales's heart tightened slightly, "You mean there are two monsters?"
"It's hard to say, but anyway, get out of here as soon as possible." Brando reminded.
"But little guy, if you get out and retreat at this time, that guy will definitely take action," Otales looked at Mephistopheles: "At such a close distance, I'm not sure I can rush out, your strength It's too bad, it won't be possible to cruise the sky a second time in a short time."
Brando was judged to be too bad for the first time.
He thought to himself that he was only in his early twenties, and it was so good to have a golden power, what could you expect. However, he knew that he had nothing to argue with this hundreds or thousands of years old sister, and in the eyes of the other party, his strength was indeed poor.
He shook his head and said, "Swap bodies, let me explain."
Otales did not object when she heard the words, and immediately retracted her consciousness into the ring space where she was located. Brando's consciousness took over control. In the eyes of the Grey Sword Saint, Brando stayed for a while, and then returned to clarity. .
"Something is coming." Brando looked up at him, and the first words he said were alarmist: "You don't want to know what killed these people, do you?"
Mephistopheles was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say something, but saw the young man take out a silver brooch from his arms. It's just that before he had time to see what the brooch was, suddenly the bushes around him banged and two people came out.
"Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles!"
"Veronica!" Mephistopheles saw the caller clearly, and immediately stepped back vigilantly with the woman at the same time, and each drew their swords and pointed at each other.
"Lord Lord!" This is Akane's voice.
Brando looked up, the action of taking out the brooch in his hand stopped in the air. He couldn't help but screamed bitterly. It turned out that the old empire woman came from the east. Why did she come here again? Yes, with Akane.
This is getting darker and darker.
But risks often coexist with opportunities.
Brando quickly discovered that Veronica and Mephistopheles had fully focused on each other at the same time they discovered each other's existence. They seemed to have forgotten the existence of others.
As expected, in a confrontation at their level, any negligence is a life-death thing.
However, the tension between the two sides happened to be Brando's opportunity.
He took a light breath and hurriedly made a gesture to Akane who was standing next to Veronica quietly, beckoning her to come to him as soon as possible. In Brando's induction, the number of west wind elves was declining sharply, and he was afraid that the BOSS would just rush out of the forest like this.
As for Veronica and Mephistopheles, he can't control whether they are dead or alive, but he is no longer a player who drops one level after a death, if he is stared at by the BOSS, wouldn't he even have a place to cry.
At this time Veronica didn’t pay attention to Akane at all. Of course, the red-haired girl also noticed this. In fact, when she saw Brando, she couldn’t help but want to run over—if she wasn’t worried about Brando’s Don't blame her for bringing Veronica over.
But seeing Brando didn't seem to care, the big stone in the heart of the red-haired girl crashed to the ground. She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully walked to Brando, looking at her lord with some peace of mind.
But what Qian didn't expect was that before she could stand firmly, Brando grabbed her hand: "Quick, follow me."
"what!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Qian felt that even in the wind and snow, it seemed that there was a flow of heat in her hands that passed to her heart and face, making her cheeks hot, as if it was burning.
But she lowered her head, pretending to be calm.
Brando nodded. He first turned his head and looked west, then looked at Veronica and Mephistopheles in the confrontation, and then looked around the surroundings, looking for the direction when he came, and then headed over there. Ran over.
Akane followed and held her breath, watching the lord she admired dragging herself and running with some bewilderment.
There was a blank in her mind.
Feeling like a marionette, she was dragged in a certain direction by Brando's hand unconsciously. She didn't know which direction to tell, but she only felt as if she was going to die with just one sound.
Qian heard her heart beating hard.
But Brando was completely unaware of Akane's abnormality at this time. Although she felt that the girl's movements were a bit weird, her worries about the thing behind her overwhelmed her suspicion; besides, neither he nor Akane had a fire in their hands—the fire left. Time has been handed over to Antitina-and their two golden ranks can persist for several hours without fire in the frost tide.
They must return to Saint White Rock as soon as possible.
But it was at this time that Brando suddenly heard the reminder from the Wind Elf Royal Sister Otales: "Be careful, something is coming behind."
Then Brando heard a scream from behind his head.
