"Ray! Thank you!"
After walking for a while, Rafiniya's soft voice came over.
The girl knights were not fools either. They knew that without Leylin, they might really be buried in the mouth of the ogre this time. This kind of death is obviously not acceptable to her, and now thinking about it, they feel a little terrified.
All adventure novels are deceptive, those romantic heroes and beautiful princesses do not exist at all, instead there are more thieves and thieves, and ogres who eat people alive!
"So... after the illusion is broken... do you want to continue your so-called adventure?"
Leylin asked out of curiosity.
"Of course, this is my way of chivalry!!!" The girl knight's voice was full of determination: "As long as I can continue, the evil will all be wiped out by my hands one day... My hands are back to good!"
"..." Leylin rolled his eyes speechlessly, this idiot roadblock has no tendency to wake up.
"What's that look on your face?"
"No, I was just thinking, you are very suitable to be a paladin of the God of Justice! Really!!!"
…
Fortunately, the god of luck finally favored Leylin and the others this time, allowing this small convoy to safely drive out of the ogre-ravaged area.
Otherwise, Leylin thought that once he was surrounded by ogres, he might have to abandon everyone and break out alone.
And everyone except him, including the batch of Warhorn Nicks, will eventually become the ogre's rations and jerky.
"Did the leader die and fell into chaos?"
On the way, they also encountered a few lost caravan members sporadically, and even some small thieves and the like.
It's a pity that this time, even Rafiniya has learned to harden her heart, and the high-ranking knight girl who has recovered a little bit of strength doesn't need much effort to deal with these people.
Until this day, a small city with black walls appeared in front of Leylin.
"Here we are, Dark Forest Fort. After passing here, we will find the Central Great Plains of Dambreth, which is also the territory directly under the king..."
After seeing the city, Rafiniya cheered directly, and Hera and Alani showed relieved smiles on their faces.
Although this long journey was only halfway through, the hard work and fright they had suffered was enough for them to fear for the future.
"Stop! Stop and check!"
At the gate of the city, Leylin and his group of adventurers in strange costumes were immediately stopped by the guards.
"Huh? Are these guards good? And they are already professional soldiers who have seen blood?"
Leylin watched Hera go up to negotiate, but frowned slightly.
Based on his experience, it can be seen that the strength of the guards here is generally high, and they may even be served by professional legions, which is not comparable to the previous few times.
Even secretly, he could vaguely feel that dozens of elite archers had aimed at this place, which made him feel a little dangerous.
"To give me a sense of danger, these archers must at least be equipped with equipment such as [Magic Breaking Arrow]. They are really rich..."
Leylin glanced vaguely at the top of the city wall, then looked at Hera and the others nonchalantly.
After checking their mercenary and noble certificates, a middle-aged soldier who was obviously a small boss came over.
"Recently, there have been vicious incidents in the Dark Forest Fort. If you have nothing to do, don't stay longer!"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, is it an ogre?"
There was a hint of curiosity in Hera's eyes.
"What are ogres? They are far from real devils..." The middle-aged soldier sneered, and then stopped talking.
Only when passing Leylin's mercenaries did he say in a warning tone: "Don't cause trouble after entering, otherwise..."
The threatening words immediately made Rafinia furious, but Leylin and old Bam had seen this kind of situation a lot, so they just shrugged their shoulders, it was hard to say whether they listened or not.
"Hmph..."
The military leader didn't care about Rafiniya, and there seemed to be a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He waved: "Let's go!"
"The strength of this kind of legion is no worse than that of the previous ogre tribe..."
Leylin lowered his head, and the light in his eyes kept flickering.
"It seems that the national forces and legions are indeed the mainstream of ordinary humans in the world of the gods. The previous mercenary group is completely incomparable..."
In them, Leylin finally saw the aura of soldiers from all nations, with swords like forests, spears like thorns, and perhaps even with the assistance of mages and priests, even the middle-ranked officer just now had an aura very close to that of high-ranking officers. Soldiers, especially the opponents have obviously experienced the test of the battlefield, and the evil spirit that has seen blood is incomparable to ordinary mercenaries.
"It's just that, judging from what the other party said just now, it's obvious that something happened here..."
After entering the city, Leylin frowned on the cold streets and strict security.
"We are going to rest here for a while, maybe we need to buy a carriage and recruit a few mercenaries..."
After arriving at a hotel that was still open, Hera spoke to Leylin and the others with a look of exhaustion on her face.
"Well, we really need a new carriage!" For this suggestion, Rafiniya of course agreed with both hands, and after finally arriving in a human city, she couldn't wait to take a good rest.
For an aristocratic lady, there is nothing more unbearable than filth and filth, but unfortunately, these are never lacking on the road, especially for mercenaries.
Poor Rafiniya was not tortured and went mad, she was already a strong will cultivated by knights.
Bam also agrees with this, and he can't wait to exchange the ogre ears he has accumulated for commissions, and buy a new batch of rum by the way.
"Well, we'll meet up here in three days!"
Leylin nodded irresponsibly. He was also a little curious about what happened in the Dark Forest Fort.
"Ray, wait! Your friend needs your help! My wound needs a priest's treatment..."
When it was time to say goodbye, Old Bam grabbed Leylin directly, with tears in his eyes.
Seeing the other party like this, Leylin could only shrug his shoulders, and took the old Bam with his broken leg. Anyway, he believed in the God of Warriors, and the temple was not far from the mercenary guild.
"Divine Art - [Cure Slanderous Wounds]!"
In the Temple of Warriors, a holy light fell from the hands of a priest. The wound on Bam's thigh quickly recovered, and even a new layer of tender flesh grew.
"Healing costs 5 Kincro!"
The face of the pastor is holy, but the cost of treatment has not been reduced in the slightest.
Performing divine spells, healing injuries for believers, and getting rewards for this fee is the common operation method of almost most temples.
The gods also need wealth, which is used to build magnificent temples, and more importantly, to absorb believers with more favorable conditions.
The usually stingy old Bam paid the bill very happily at this time, not even daring to take advantage of it. Only after leaving the temple did the other party show regret.
"If our employer hadn't been off for a few days, old Bam would rather go to the doctor or the medicine man, damn it, five quinqueroes, how many bottles of rum is that enough... Oh! By God, old Bam didn't mean to…”
Old Bam kept muttering, "No! It's got to go to our employer's commission! You'll have my back, won't you, Ray?"
Leylin pretended he didn't hear it, and walked into the gate of the mercenary guild with old Bam.
Old Bam hurriedly exchanged for the ogre's ear to recover the loss, while Leylin came to the quest hall.
The area of the hall here is much smaller than that of Ammon City, and there are sparse mercenaries sitting in it, both in quantity and quality seem to be somewhat inferior.
This abnormal atmosphere was explained when Leylin saw the mission board.
"Advanced mission—tracking down the devil's followers! This mission is extremely dangerous, please think carefully before making a choice!"
"Advanced mission-investigate the evil god ritual at Lord Walker's mansion!"
"Advanced mission—investigate the cause of Baron Faerun's death..."
Many high-level tasks are hung up in a row, which is very spectacular, but unfortunately there are very few mercenaries who dare to take them.
"Interesting, devil?"
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Leylin's mouth, thinking of the abnormal movement of the army before, and the worried look on the face of that middle-ranking officer, everything came to an end.
It turned out that the reason why the entire Dark Forest Fort was a little abnormal was because of the activities of devil believers.
This kind of difficult task has always been a matter for the temple and the national army, so it is no wonder that these mercenaries are not interested.
However, just because they were not interested did not mean that Leylin was not interested.
In fact, Leylin has always been very curious about the hells and devils in this world.
Although through the memory of Beeluse Babu, his knowledge of devils is no less than that of digital devil princes, but theory and reality are always two different things.
"According to the memory of the other party, the entire hell has a total of nine floors, ruled by their respective lords, and there are also several public areas... and to be able to break through the limitations of the planes and come to the main material world to spread faith... This must be at least the same level as it Things that only a hell lord can do..."
The King of Gluttony—Beluse Babu was definitely a regular wizard in his heyday, at least comparable to the weak gods in the world of gods.
It's no wonder that just finding some traces made the whole city feel like an enemy.
The scene where the soul seed was projected back then reappeared in front of Leylin.
"I don't know what happened to the little guy back then? After all, he has accepted the power of my soul seed. If he can adapt, his current strength should be pretty good..."
