The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 320 Final Safety

Seeing the majestic shadow of Mansha City undulating on the ground like a giant beast on the distant horizon gradually approaching, Allen's mood gradually became more comfortable.

As long as they can arrive in Mansha City so peacefully, the safety of Allen and Richard will be guaranteed to a certain extent. And as long as Allen can take Richard into the temple area of ​​​​Nancheng, the demons and monsters hiding in the dark will have even less chance to take action.

Of course, Allen's feeling of ease does not mean that he has relaxed. On the contrary, at this time, his spirit has been tense and he is always paying attention to what is going on around him. Even, because he was about to arrive in Mansha City, he also found a way to wake up Richard, who was slowing down his body consumption like hibernation to fight against the abnormal poison in his body, and asked him to use magical magic to help them explore the surroundings. .

You can't lead Richard through a small half of the wilderness, and see that you are about to enter the safe zone, only to have someone take your life on the last step. That is really not worth it.

Richard steeled himself and used his slow movements to cast a series of blessing spells on Allen and himself to prevent any possible attacks.

"Hey, you two warriors, our supervisor said that now that we have arrived at the gate of Mansha City, we will soon have to pay taxes and enter the city. You should be safe too."

An orc boy showing two small tiger teeth, with a bright smile, reminded Allen and the others in a friendly and tactful manner.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. My companions and I haven't properly thanked your supervisor yet!"

Richard dragged his heavily injured body and struggled to say hello to the orc boy.

"Our supervisor said they were just helping out and there is nothing to thank you for. I hope you will recover soon."

Although Richard's robe was in tatters, it could vaguely prove his identity. At this time, when the orc boy was talking to him, a few little stars appeared in his eyes from time to time. He was filled with indescribable envy and yearning, so he spoke more often. A bit enthusiastic.

"Then we'll say goodbye!"

Richard heard the implication of the orc boy's words. It seemed that the other supervisor had no intention of seeing Allen and the others. He no longer forced it. He could only smile and gave away the 10 gems that Allen had promised before.

"This is our thank you gift, please keep it."

"..."

After some refusals, the orc boy finally happily accepted the small money bag, and Richard was relieved. With the support of Allen, he came to the city's tax inspector and handed over a silver coin. , and prepare to enter the city.

"court death!!!"

Just after stepping into the city gate, and when the two of them put down their guard, two masked professional thieves suddenly emerged from stealth, and four daggers emitting ghostly light stabbed the staggering Richard one after another. On the body.

At the same time, Allen was also attracted by the two magic scrolls that suddenly exploded in front of his eyes. Without thinking, Allen took back his left hand that was on Richard's shoulder, then turned around and pushed Richard away. The Behemoth caravan in the distance was thrown up, hitting him right into the manned carriage in the middle of the caravan that seemed to be very tightly guarded.

"Please protect my companions, thank you!"

At this time, Allen was trapped between the spell scroll and the two assassins. Because he immediately threw Richard out of the opponent's ambush range, he was regarded as a tool to vent their anger by the angry assassins. 4 Weapons were pierced into Allen's body like a steel plate.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The old and tattered python scale armor may be completely scrapped this time. At least the python scale armor on Allen's assassination failed to bring him much protection this time. The protective spell only blocked two daggers. There are still Two daggers plunged straight into Allen's body.

But before the opponent's dagger could completely penetrate, Allen's body suddenly swelled by a height, and his rage skills exploded directly. The bone cutter turned into an arc and swept fiercely at the not spacious city gate. He was frightened. A group of pedestrians took cover.

"A group of desperadoes, seeking death!!!"

The city guards guarding the city gate used short-term weapons and rushed towards Allen and the others. The leader, the Jackal Captain, roared with fierce eyes.

The two assassins looked at each other for a second, and then a shadow jumped directly out of the city. When they reappeared, they were dozens of meters outside the city. After another shadow jumped, the opponent's figure was already more than a hundred meters away from the city gate. Finally, Allen and the others were left with a dim back, and they walked away.

The assassin came suddenly and retreated decisively. Before Allen could fully react, the city guards guarding the order of the city gate had just started to move, and they had already lost track of each other.

Allen held the Bonecutter, took out a bottle of antidote from the dimensional bag behind his back and drank it while paying attention to any movement around him.

"Are you okay?"

The captain of the city guard walked up to Allen and asked with a cold face.

"If nothing happens, get out of here and don't block the city gate!"

The task of the city guards is to guard the order in the city. Now that someone is assassinating them under their noses, isn't that just a slap in the face of their city guards?

The real murderer has already escaped, and if Allen, the victim, is left in front of everyone, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

"...Okay, I'll leave now."

Allen was in a very unhappy mood. Coupled with the impact of the injuries on his body, his face was ugly. However, at this time, the toxins in the wounds began to act, and the stinging sensation intensified. Thinking about the unknown life or death of Richard who was thrown out by him, he did not know. If there is no more entanglement, quickly take steps to catch up.

When Allen threw his teammates and threw them towards the gorgeously decorated and gauze-covered car of the Beamon Caravan, he almost sent Richard to his death.

The orc warriors responsible for guarding the carriage waved their weapons and were about to chop Richard directly in mid-air. Fortunately, the owner inside stopped him in time, otherwise Richard would have been chopped into pieces at this time. After a few paragraphs, he became an unlucky guy who died in a daze.

Allen only thought about the favor he had received from the other party before, thinking that the other party would help because of this relationship, but he did not expect that the place where he threw Richard would be the driver of an important figure in the caravan.

"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble again."

Allen hurried over and happened to face Luca's expressionless face. He quickly bent slightly and said gratefully.

"Hmph! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let you join the team!"

Lucca didn't care whether Allen and the others were innocent, nor did he care about their safety. The only thing he was angry about was that Allen had diverted the trouble to the east and abandoned the assassin's companions to his caravan.

Not to mention the skills of this group of assassins, there was an extremely important noble person in the convoy. He, Luca, was very careful along the way, just not to have any accidents, so as not to hurt this noble person in the convoy.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

What else could Allen say? He didn't think much about it at the time. He just saw that the car was heavily protected, so he threw Richard around. Presumably, if this group of assassins has other back-ups, the guards around this car can also handle it.

"It's my fault, I apologize to everyone!"

"I'm the one who dragged everyone down, I'm sorry."

Richard and Allen spoke quickly, smiling cautiously at Luca and the others.

"Okay, Luca, everything is over, let's not delay here."

A delicate jade hand stretched out from the gauze-covered carriage, gently waving to Luca. The gentle and watery tone passed through everyone's ears, making people think about it, as if there was a blurry but moving beauty in front of them. Female face.

"Okay, miss."

When Luca heard the master's greeting, he didn't want to argue with Allen and the others anymore. It was worthwhile to let go of the young orc who was supporting Richard. After sending him back to Allen, he gave Allen and the others a hard look. Then he led the caravan and continued moving forward.

"Thank you for your help, Miss. We will definitely repay you in the future."

Rarely, Alan saw some nostalgia on Richard's face, and politely shouted loudly to the driver who was about to leave.

However, there was no response from the other party. On the contrary, Richard himself, after speaking out these words, became a little more depressed, and the pain in his body reflected on his face, making his rather handsome face look very... of withered.

"gone!!"

Seeing the changes on Richard's face and the stinging pain caused by the wounds on his body, Allen knew that he could not delay any longer. He grabbed Richard's waist on the spot and ran towards the Oak Temple. Run wildly.

"Hello, fellow believer, how can I help you?" "My companion and I were poisoned..."

Richard managed to survive in the end, thanks to his deep financial resources. He spent a large sum of money to hire a high-level priest from the Oak Temple to help him perform high-level detoxification and recovery skills. , and then the strange poison was removed from his body.

However, during the delay of more than ten days, the damage caused by the abnormal poison to Richard's body was extraordinary. Anyway, in a short period of time, he could not think about going out and jumping around lively, and could only stay in the temple's monastery to recuperate.

The group of assassins didn't know if they had given up on the assassination. To be on the safe side, it would be more secure to stay at the temple.

Allen was much less injured than Richard. Except for a big gap in his front teeth, which made him look a little funny, the only other injuries were the poison on his body that required the help of the priests, and the rest was in Allen's hands. That strong recovery power, as well as the effect of the potion scroll used before, slowly recovered.

Less than half a month later, Allen regained his vitality, while Richard was still lying on the bed half-dead, resting in his body. However, because of this experience, the relationship between the two became closer and the relationship became more harmonious.

Richard was grateful to Allen for traveling thousands of miles away and bringing his dying self back to Mansha City without giving up on him; while Allen felt a little guilty in his heart. If it hadn't been for his mistake, maybe the other party wouldn't have fallen into this situation. The current situation.

Neither of them is the kind of narrow-minded person who will not push their own problems onto others, so they can think clearly and lay the foundation for the true friendship between them.

Allen was bored while recuperating in the Oak Temple, so he went to the martial arts field in the back hall of the temple with familiarity, ready to restart the training he had missed for a while.

Unexpectedly, the first time he entered the martial arts arena, Allen saw a familiar face, the legendary Druid Oscar master who always wore an emerald green robe and had a kind and warm smile on his face.

"When did you come to Mansha City? Why didn't you come to see me?"

Oscar had just completed a hunt for a legendary demon in the wilderness and returned to Mansha City to recuperate for a while. Today, he originally wanted to teach the students in the Druid Academy affiliated with the temple, but unexpectedly he happened to meet Ai Lun, the bugbear he valued very much.

Oscar is still full of expectations for Allen. The Bugbear, who is less than 35 years old, has now reached the peak of level 15. Especially since Allen has a physique that only a legend can have, it is difficult for him to advance to a legend. It will be much lower than others.

In addition, Allen also has a good talent in running tribes. Watching him develop and grow a small remote tribe step by step to what it is today, in time this goblin tribe will definitely have a place in Mansha City.

As long as Allen can break through the legend, it will give him longer time to run the tribe. In the future, perhaps the 114th official member of Mansha City will be the Green Field Tribe.

In the northwest border of the wilderness, restricted by the natural environment of the Tagan Desert, the power to keep an eye on the movements of the elves is still too weak. Although the Temple of Nature has been increasing its efforts to cultivate indigenous forces for protection, it is still not as strong as the Centaur Grassland to defend against humans.

The rise of Allen's Greenfield Tribe allowed Oscar to see the prototype of another powerful tribe. Although the temple was only in a wait-and-see state for the time being, important figures in the Oak Temple such as Oscar and Clay were supporting and helping Allen intentionally or unintentionally. , is based on such considerations.

"I've been here for almost five months. I came to the temple before to inquire about your whereabouts, Master. The temple priests said that you were out on a mission, so I never had time to visit you, Master."

Allen was also a little happy. He just wanted to exercise temporarily, but he didn't expect that he would meet Master Oscar.

"Yes, I just came back to Mansha City not long ago. You see, I asked this question."

Oscar laughed, patted his head, and said mockingly. However, after seeing Allen's awkward look with half of his front teeth missing when he opened his mouth, and the vaguely visible injuries on his body, Oscar couldn't help but curiously asked: "What kind of mission did you take on to do this?" Embarrassed?"

"...Actually, it's nothing. I just went out with a companion to investigate some things, and then I was spotted on the road..."

In front of Oscar, Allen generally would not hide anything from him unless it was a really important secret. He immediately told Oscar about their pursuit of Alva and his party, as well as Richard's suspicions about the other party's purpose.

"..."

Oscar also fell into deep thought. An assassination attempt by a team of evil god believers whose highest rank was no more than a high-level peak combat position. Such things would not usually reach the ears of legends like Oscar. They were more concerned about other people in the wilderness. A strong person of the same level, or an extremely important event.

After hearing Allen's statement at this time, Oscar also keenly felt that there might be a deeper purpose behind this matter. However, just thinking randomly at this moment would not gain much. After keeping this doubt in his heart, Oscar looked up at Allen again.

"Besides planning to practice this time, do you have any other ideas?"

"Of course there is. Now that the wilderness is in chaos, I also think what the master said before is right, so I want to see if I can take this opportunity to build relationships with some large tribes and make some plans for the future?"

Allen scratched his head, not afraid of Oscar looking down on him, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"But after staying in the city for a few days, although there are many tasks issued by the big tribes, they are not the tasks I expected."

This time Allen ran away from the Green Plains. Ultimately, it was Oscar's conversation with him that moved Allen. Being able to contact Master Oscar again in Mansha City at this time is of great significance to Allen, because he has a very important purpose that has not been fulfilled until now.

In addition to traveling and exercising his own strength, Allen also has a more important mission during his trip to Mansha City, which is to leave a name of the Green Field Tribe on the list of members in Mansha City.

After all, the territory of Mansha Wilderness is vast. On a territory of tens of millions of square miles, a mere 113 large tribe members are not enough to completely rule the territory of the wilderness. The sphere of influence of a large tribe can only radiate hundreds of miles around it at most. To expand the territory of rule is not as simple as occupying land and expelling surrounding tribes.

In the remaining land, there are a large number of wilderness natives like the Green Field Tribe. They are scattered in every corner of the wilderness, fighting and annexing each other all the time, completing the process of growing from small to large, from weak to strong. Metamorphosis.

After reaching a certain scale, the indigenous tribes can no longer follow the old path unscrupulously. After all, if they want to attack the tribes around them, they will probably be tribes of the same size, and ordinary small tribes are no longer in their eyes.

To put it bluntly, when fighting or fighting with other tribes, the goal is either the population of the other tribe, the output of the other tribe's territory, or the other's more favorable land. There is basically nothing else that can tempt the tribal leaders. .

The fighting of thousands or tens of thousands of indigenous people is undoubtedly a kind of extravagant waste in the eyes of the earthly messengers in the natural temple. Every intelligent indigenous person is the cornerstone under the feet of the gods and the source of their power. How can they He died meaninglessly without contributing any power of faith!

From the perspective of the formal members of the loose alliance in Mansha City, such fighting is not in their interests: since their tribe cannot occupy so much land, they can let the weaker tribes develop and then become tributaries of their own tribe. Provide support to your tribe.

Of course, there are also benefits such as providing various materials, money, talents, etc., which are all ways for powerful tribes to gain value from each other. Even many dirty and invisible things can be thrown to the other party and let them be the thugs of their tribe. They can also throw them away at will after being noticed. There are many benefits.

Of course, the small and medium-sized tribes that have paid the price must also be rewarded, unless they are really determined to cultivate the other party from the beginning and then annex and absorb the tribe. Generally speaking, in order to appease the other party's fears and worries, large tribes and natural temples will also Treat these tribes that have not yet met the requirements as potential training targets and recruit them into the ranks of Mansa City members. They will become informal members in addition to the 113 member tribes and enjoy the rights and obligations of the Mansa system.

As long as an intelligent race reaches a certain balance, it will have its own operating rules after all. This is how Mansha Wilderness has continued its own culture and style for tens of thousands of years.

Allen wants to leave the name of the Green Field Tribe in Mansha City, just to obtain the status of an informal member.

Don't underestimate this. As long as you can gain the status of an informal member in the city, the Green Field Tribe will have a layer of protection, at least from the surrounding powerful beings such as the Ajinaga Goblin Tribe and the Snowmi Troll Tribe. It's not easy to use all kinds of overt methods to deal with the Green Field Tribe.

However, it is not that easy to become an informal member registered in Mansa City. Allen needs at least an invitation and recommendation from a formal member, and then completes a tribal test task given by Mansa City before he can participate in government affairs. The department posted the name of its own tribe and distributed it to the 113 member tribe leaders and their representatives in the form of written notification.

The Temple of Nature has a lofty status in the wilderness. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a dominant family, but this does not mean that they have no other opponents or objects to win over, such as the God of Kobolds, the King of Jackals, and even others such as Alien gods such as Erysnul, the god of hatred, regard the wilderness as their foundation.

In order not to arouse the hostility of these gods, but also to win over more allies, the nature gods established a political mechanism like Mansha City, so that followers and tribes of these gods can also have the opportunity to participate in important affairs in the wilderness. Come, by the way, you can slowly win over the other party.

In this way, Allen wants to join the list of Mansha City. Although the Oak Temple can help, from a institutional perspective, they are not qualified to recommend informal members, especially since Allen's tribe is not strong and outstanding enough to let Oak To the point where the temple is completely supportive.

"You, in fact, should have taken this step a long time ago, instead of staying in that green plain."

Oscar is very optimistic about Allen's future and his ability to run the tribe, otherwise he would not have been in contact with Allen and the others over the years.

Of course, Oscar himself had just advanced to Legend not long ago, but his status in the Oak Temple did not improve as much as his strength. This has something to do with Oscar's own lack of background in the wilderness. Among other legends in the temple, which one does not have his own supporters in the wilderness, so he has a greater say in the temple, and the power he obtains naturally matches it.

Don't think that the chief priests, priests, and bishops of the temple have no desires and pursuits. People who can be promoted to legends naturally have their own ideas and cognitions, and they all hope to implement their own ideas. At this time, having greater power will lead to a greater stage for display. For example, Oscar, a legendary strongman, hopes that the temple can invest more manpower and material resources in the Tagan Desert to control the unstoppable expansion of the desert.

No matter how rich the Oak Temple's heritage is, it cannot unscrupulously support the various ideas of the legendary powerhouses under its command. After all, there are at least 3-40 legends in the temple. Although they are distributed between two continents and the Mansha Wilderness, they After all, many of their demands cannot be realized for the time being.

Therefore, Oscar supports Allen and his tribe, and also hopes that Allen can give back to Oscar in the future and help him seize greater power in the temple.

"I have a good relationship with the elders of several tribes here. I can help you connect with them and introduce you to them."

"However, you need to understand that tribes like them cannot help you for no reason. You must also give something to get something in return. This is an equal exchange."

"So, you have to think carefully about which tribe to choose as your introduction target."
