Chapter 21 The Sneak Attack from the South

Time passed quickly, and Link was training methodically according to his new plan.

Fly to the northern border of the Guardian Land to purify the undead in the morning, train swordsmanship and archery at noon, and rent a handicraft workshop in the town at night to practice forging and handcrafting.Although Yuan Ye shouted that he was bored, but because he was hospitalized, he did not dare to leave the safe human town. He could only spend all his time on alchemy, and spent all the money he saved after doing tasks in a few days. Borrow it from Link cheekily.

Relying on the little experience gained from constantly purifying the undead, Link finally rose to lv4 at the end of the one-month novice period. Now no matter how many undead he purifies, there is no golden light that symbolizes experience flying into his body, which is obviously out of the category of novices .

After careful consideration, he chose Isol's attack skills, [Petrification] and [Earth Spear].It's a pity that there are only two spell slots for each upgrade. If you gather all three attack abilities, you can get [vine entanglement], which is not used but a passive skill. There is a certain chance that plant roots will emerge from the ground and entangle the enemy.What Link likes is that there is no need to waste spell slots, but there are advantages and disadvantages. This passive aura can only work in the wild environment, and it will not activate in human buildings or places without plants.

It doesn't feel like it in the illusion, but on the computer interface in reality, the sub-talented archery has two skills [Rapid Shooting] and [Precise Shooting].The former is the result of a month of practice, and can quickly shoot arrows from the quiver.The latter needs to be used in conjunction with the child of nature's divine art [Precise], the effect is that two arrows must hit one, and one of the two arrows must hit, which is equal to a 50% hit rate, which is extremely high.If you use Hawkeye again, you can almost shoot wherever you want.

Swordsmanship is the three moves learned with money, [sweeping], [vertical chop], [thrust]. Link also considered that each level has a skill, but the difference between archery and swordsmanship overturned his guess. After being promoted to lv4, he ran to find a swordsmanship instructor, but the other party directly said that there were only three basic swordsmanship, and he wanted to learn more advanced ones and go to a big city.

The druid stationed in River Valley Town received an order from Hull to let Link set off for Aiden to investigate the lord Sherman. It seems that he is secretly communicating with the undead, and the raid on the northern border is also inseparable from him.

After all the flowers withered, Yuan Ye was finally able to set off, and his body had also recovered.

"Flint, torches, tents, clean water, dry food..." Yuan Ye counted the contents of the bag one by one, and when he turned around, he saw Link talking in a low voice with the old man named Jafar.

"Hi~ Don't you need to prepare something?"

"It's all ready." Link patted the cloth bag the size of a palm on his waist.

Yuan Ye glanced at it, feeling familiar, and then he screamed.

"The space bag on that Necromancer's body!"

"Shut up! Do you want everyone to know about it?" Link was a little far away, unable to cover Yuan Ye's mouth, and could only give him a hard look.

Fortunately, there was only an old shopkeeper in the grocery store who pretended not to hear anything, Yuan Ye's words enough to cause trouble did not cause a riot.

"Sorry, I was quick to talk." Yuan Ye scratched his head and apologized.He couldn't help but take a few more glances, it's great, there are magic items in just a few days.I have mixed so far that I don't even have a decent weapon.Fortunately, all the alchemy potions made these days have been sold, and the skills have increased a little bit, which can be regarded as making up for some losses.

"Okay, let's get on the road, you have a lot of things to do." Link is most annoyed by people who are dawdling about things. He was supposed to be on the road early today, but Yuan Ye would just dawdle until noon.

"Excuse me... are you adventurers?" A childish voice sounded from behind.

Yuan Ye looked back, and saw a boy in his early ten years looking at him with staring eyes.

"Grandpa and I are going to Aiden, can we go with you? It won't cause you any trouble."

Link had already discovered the child who groped into the grocery store by perception. At first, he just thought he was here to buy things.He and Jafar exchanged glances, and the druid didn't say anything, obviously obeying his arrangement.

"What do you say?" Yuan Ye was a man without a backbone, he was waiting for Link to make up his mind.

"It's safer to walk together, take them with you." There are many people, but it will not be conspicuous, especially when you move with the aborigines.Although there is no clear evidence that Edgar is from another world, Link no longer uses npc to refer to people in the illusion.

"Great, thank you. Grandpa~" The boy bowed Lilian, and ran out of the grocery store with a loud cry.

"You have to be careful when you go to Aiden at this time." When paying the bill, the shopkeeper suddenly said this.

Feeling that the old man would not warn for no reason, Link asked what happened.

"Recently, undead have appeared everywhere, and several waves of travelers have died on the way to Aiden."

Link heard it in his ears and kept it in his heart. There will be undead haunting this place so close to the Pillar of the Earth. No wonder Hull asked me to investigate.

Outside the grocery store, stood the boy and his grandpa. The grandpa and grandson looked like ordinary people. They said they were going to Aiden to join relatives. They wanted to go with adventurers because they were afraid of the rumors of the undead. Unfortunately, they asked a few times. They were all dismissed.

In the eyes of this grandpa and grandson, the three of Link are standard adventurers, Alkin warriors with long swords on their waists, old rangers, and bards with mandolin on their shoulders.

Five people set off from the west gate and headed northeast along the avenue.

Everyone walked on the road with heads down, only Yuan Ye talked endlessly, sometimes teasing the children, sometimes deliberately pestering Jafar who never talked much, or humming.Link finally knows why he chose the profession of bard, a natural chatterbox!

When it was dark, a group of people found a grove near the road to rest. The boy obediently picked up branches to help his grandfather light a bonfire, and sat together. Then the old man asked Link if he was going to Aiden to enlist as a mercenary. He said vaguely Nodding, Hull not only sent a message, but also a silver pendant with a strange shape of a spider web.Jafar explained that this is the symbol of 'Spider Web', the largest intelligence agency in the mainland, and carrying him means that he is a member of it.

"Hull asked me to pretend to be a member of the spider web?" Link felt even more unbelievable. The birdman who assumed his own identity would let himself pretend to be a human intelligence organization.

"No, the spider web was created by the Alliance of Nature in the Silver Age. Although it was completely controlled by humans, it has always maintained a good relationship with the Alliance of Nature, and most of its members are rangers and Alkins. Let you pretend to be a member of the spider web, too. A layer of invisible identity, on the surface you are still a mercenary, so even if someone checks, they will only think you are the person of the spider web. Aiden has the contact point of the spider web, whether you go there as a spider web or a mercenary, it will not cause the Lord Doubt." Jafar's explanation made Link suddenly realize, but he didn't intend to go into too much detail for unrelated outsiders.

Because they didn't have to sleep, Link and Yuan Ye, who closed their eyes and fell asleep, heard strange noises from the avenue—the movement that seemed to be dragging some kind of heavy object on the ground.

Glancing at each other, Link made a silent gesture, drew out his long sword, and went to the avenue with Jafar who woke up to check, leaving Yuan Ye to look after his grandfather and grandson.

From afar, Link smelled a familiar smell, another undead.After approaching, a small group of human beings dressed as mountain people walked towards Link like zombies in movies.

"I have been going to the northern border these days, and I have almost wiped out all the undead there. Where did these come from?" Link has been able to apply natural healing to weapons, purifying the undead like an enchantment. No need to transform into avatar form.Those who were struck by the long sword exploded with a 'touch' like rotten fruit, and then dissipated into dots of white light while splashing out pus and blood. Except for the liquid and clothes left on the ground, there was nothing that existed before. prove.

"It seems that the lord of Eden City secretly communicated with the undead is not groundless." Jafar stared at the direction where the group of dead bodies came from.

"Couldn't the source of the news be the spider web?" After cleaning up the last dead body, Link suddenly had a strange feeling that the matter would not be resolved so easily.He turned his head suddenly, the bonfire went out, no good!

Running back, the camp was empty, the grass on the ground was covered with hoarfrost, and Yuan Ye's mandolin fell to the ground, pointing to the east.

"Tiaohulishan? No..." If it was aimed at him, why bother to lure him away.

Link activated the aura, and the road sign pointed straight to the east, where there was a low hill.

"It's not an undead." Jafar squatted on the ground and sniffed, "It's an ogre."

"How did the creatures in the Kaogo wasteland cross Dragon Rock Fortress and enter the inland?" Link read the records of ogres in the Continental Chronicles, saying that they were blocked on the other side of Mount Horacio along with the orcs.

"The only possibility is that they crossed the Blade Mountain, which is the sharp mountain near the Great Rift." Jafar turned into a black wolf.Time waits for no one, ogres are ferocious carnivorous creatures, if they arrive late, the lives of the three people are very likely to be lost.

Link didn't care whether his identity would be exposed, and turned into a peregrine falcon and flew in the direction indicated by the sign of divine revelation.Soon, he saw the ogres who kidnapped the three of them.There were not many of them, but what was about to join them was a large group of orcs, at least fifty or more.

Link landed on the ground and Jafar chased after him.

"Why are there so many orcs?"

"Maybe it's a surprise attack on humans. If that's the case, things will be troublesome." Jafar reminded Link that the Sons of Nature are not allowed to intervene in secular disputes.

"At least save those three people." Regardless of whether it's a game or real, it's impossible for Link to sit back and watch the three of Yuan Ye get killed by the orcs.

"So, what capacity are you going to rescue?"

The incarnation of the white deer is definitely not good. Doesn't this make it clear that as a child of nature, you want to break the precepts?Maybe it will lose the grace of God.

Link bit his lower lip.

ps; why do I feel that the number of people who read it is gradually decreasing, is this book very dull? I feel that the tone of the previous few books is not so dark. ┳_┳ By the way, I actually did the 2nd update today. In fact, I have no passion. It is not a problem to have passion and motivation for the [-]rd update. Sometimes I just sit in front of the computer in a daze and can’t type.
