wandering fairy

Mukula slowly chanted prayers, but in his heart he urgently called for the gift of God Serotta.

A group of dark clouds slowly emerged in midair, and red lightning flashed and crackled in the clouds.There is a strange coercion faintly revealed in it, forcing people to kneel down and submit involuntarily.

"Is this the power of the gods?" Dong Hezi looked at the dark clouds of red electricity in a daze, and Nannan murmured to himself, "Why can't I understand how it combines with the power of heaven and earth?"

Mukura's face was ferocious, and now—boom!The red thunder shot out from the clouds like an arrow, and flew towards Dong Hezi!

The dark cloud once again emitted a beam of red light to illuminate Mukula, and the divine power surged directly in his body!The silver needle was ejected from the body with a "shua, shua", and the strength of the whole body surged out!Mukula laughed and got up and flew, ready to break the chain and escape from here.

Dong Hezi met Chidian with the wooden stick in his hand, and as soon as the two exchanged, the wooden stick became red and translucent like glass, and almost split.Dong Hezi hurriedly poked the wooden stick on the ground, and the power of red electricity was directed to the ground involuntarily.

Then he made a decision.

Mukula, who was about to break free from the chain, suddenly became paralyzed all over, and even lost the strength to raise his hand. The next moment, he suddenly became dizzy and almost passed out.The activated supernatural force disintegrated immediately, and fell into the air again.

"What's going on here?" He was unwilling, but he could only make an extremely weak voice.His consciousness quickly scattered, and soon he passed out with a black complexion.The dark cloud that lost the control of will quickly dissipated, and the sky was clear again.

Dong Hezi smiled secretly: Of course you don't know.I poisoned the water you drank, but after poisoning, I used the method of burning talismans to temporarily suppress the toxicity.As long as I use Fache to suppress it, the poison will immediately attack my heart!Hmph, are you pretending to be b?This time pretend to be an idiot!

He leaned over and pressed Mukula's chest, and activated the talisman to suppress the poison again—he really couldn't let him die before digging out all the secrets of this guy.

Dong Hezi and Le Lin brought the unconscious Mukula to the warrior training ground in the town, and found Tiwedes and Grimm.

"I'm going to spend 30 to [-] days researching some secret techniques. During this time, I will stay in the stone castle. So it's not safe for me to keep this guy. I want you to imprison him in the deepest dungeon for guarding." .”

"What if he wakes up?" Grimm said terrifiedly, "This savage has strong supernatural powers, and he can't be trapped in an ordinary prison cell. Why don't we accept the ransom and let him go? That's three Ten thousand gold coins! It is enough for an ordinary apprentice to learn third-order arcane arts."

It's really hard to change!Dong Hezi had no choice but to say: "If you let him go, he will come back to take revenge on us right away. This kind of bandit doesn't talk about loyalty and kindness. Don't worry, I have a medicine here. As long as you give him a pack every day, I guarantee that he won't be able to use any magical powers!" Lelin asked Le Lin to take out a large bag of medicine powder.

He went on to say: "This guy doesn't actually have any powerful spells, but he only has several supernatural powers. And this medicine is designed to restrain his supernatural powers. And there is also a powerful depletion potion in it, which can be used for a few days. His face is yellow and thin, his muscles are weak and his bones are weak, and he doesn’t even have the strength to walk! Only I know how to get rid of it. At that time, you don’t have to give him food, just give him some drinking water to keep him alive, and then put my medicine in the water , don’t worry if he won’t drink it!”

Grimm was still very worried, and said with a worried face, "What if something happens and he runs away? I mean just in case~~ You see, there is always a case in case."

Dong Hezi secretly laughed in his heart—why didn't you mention "what if" when you thought of the ransom, and "what if" came when you ran out of money?

So he took out a rune and handed it to Grimm and said: "If there is an emergency, you can burn this rune, and I will come out to solve the problem. But you must remember, you must lock him in the dungeon ! The more airtight the better!"

"Don't worry, we have several dungeons that are deeper than cellars!" Receiving the promise from the archdruid, Grimm took the rune at ease, and ordered the soldiers to lock Mukula's hands and feet with steel chains Then, throw them into the strongest dungeon and guard them closely.

On the way back to the rock castle on the mountainside.

"Are you going to the third floor again, and bore yourself for dozens of days?" Lelin asked, her beautiful big eyes full of doubts.

Dong Hezi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why is it boring? I'm just going to study the secret technique."

Le Lin's eyes widened, and she teased, "Then why don't you eat or drink once you go in? I think you're going to hibernate?"

"It's somewhat similar." Dong Hezi said leisurely, seeing Le Lin's startled look, he said slowly: "My so-called research often enters a state of highly concentrated and peaceful consciousness. At this time, other body functions At the lowest point, even the pulse becomes very slow, which is indeed very similar to hibernation. It's just that hibernation is muddled and heavy, while I am in a state of extremely clear and sharp consciousness. This state is called "sedation". This time, I learned some skills from that Mukula, so I have to enter the meditation and study it carefully."

Lelin was even more puzzled: "Didn't you learn all his skills? What else do you need to study? Besides, there is no need to be in such a hurry. It will not be too late to study after the matter of Mukula is thoroughly dealt with."

Dong Hezi smiled and said: "His skills have been learned, but I still need to study my own skills." Seeing that Le Lin was completely confused, he explained: "Our secret art druids have a kind of secret art and Regarding wind and thunder, although I have been in contact with it before, I am not very good at it. This time Mukula’s skills have inspired me a lot, and it may enable me to make a breakthrough in this area of ​​secret art. You don’t know, once I A breakthrough in this area will be of great help to my future progress! So I am anxious to study it carefully.”

"I'm a little worried." Lelin said uneasily: "You go in for dozens of days. What if during this time, the believers of the God of Serotta come to take revenge? Or something else happened, such as Green What if Mu lets Mukula go? I always feel that he is too obsessed with money and will not be able to withstand the temptation of Mukula's ransom. It's better to keep Mukula at our side." She slowed down He pulled Dong Hezi and said, "Why don't we get him back again? Badby and I can watch him."

Dong Hezi smiled disapprovingly and said, "We don't have a suitable room to detain him. Besides, although Grimm has no social experience, he shouldn't be so ignorant. You are overthinking."

Four days later.

The steel door of the dungeon was slowly opened, and there was a loud creak in the closed underground, waking up the sleeping Mukula.

He lay scattered on the pile of straw, and he opened his eyelids weakly.For several days, he had nothing in his stomach except water.Now he really didn't even have the strength to raise his hand!

This is not normal!

Ever since he was chosen by God Serotta as the Stormbringer, his body has undergone earth-shaking changes!In order to chase and kill his enemies, he used to eat snow for two weeks to maintain his life, and he still had enough physical strength to kill them!And now that he hasn't eaten for just a week, he is as weak as an old farmer lying in bed waiting to die. How is this possible?

What's worse and weirder is that I can't use my supernatural powers - I can't summon storms, I can't fly with the wind, I can't use thunder weapons and electric storm weapons, and these are usually used at will, like lifting my legs as simple as that.

That druid must have messed it up!He thought bitterly again.

But there is no way to vent it except to let the resentment gnaw at his heart.Although there are still a few divine spells that can be used, such as flame strike, it is impossible to burn the steel prison door.Even if he opened the prison door, he didn't even have the strength to get out!

Maybe go outside and pray for the light of God Serotta to shine on him again and restore his strength.But this is also a luxury for him who has lost strength in his limbs.What's more, even if he walks out, God Serota may not give it to him!He has already caused God's dissatisfaction after failing twice in a row.He could feel the indifference shown by God in his soul to him now, maybe after he got out, not only would God not reward him with a beam of red light to save him, but he would tear down the angry lightning flames and chop him half to death!

Alas~~ He sighed, quietly waiting for his own destiny: "Whether it is salvation or punishment, you are my god, and my soul will always belong to you, the supreme one!"

Faint candlelight came in from the outside, and a boy in a mage's robe, accompanied by two big soldiers, walked in cautiously, looking a little afraid of being attacked suddenly.

Mukula smiled secretly, nobles are so afraid of death!

He already knew from the chatter of the soldiers outside the cell that the only mage here was the baron's nephew, Grimm, who was also the deputy lord here.He suddenly found here, could it be~~

"You are in good condition." The little mage covered his nose to hide the severe rotten smell in the dungeon, and joked, "I heard that you are the most powerful robber within a few hundred miles. Someone offered [-] gold coins to buy it." Where's your head?"

Mukula smiled.

A young mage who urgently needs a lot of money for tuition,

Little mages who urgently need to upgrade their ranks,

Are you hinting at me?

He tried to raise his weak voice, and deliberately provoked Grimm: "They look down on me too much, my head is worth at least 5 gold coins! But don't think about it, the person who defeated me was the druid, he can Sell ​​me to those disgusting nobles at any time. And you can beg him for a few gold coins. Hahahaha"

Grimm gave him a hard look, but for the sake of gold coins and tuition fees, he tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "That druid is mine, um, my retainer. Now I have the right to punish you. Any treatment! You can think about how to die comfortably," he said darkly again: "Tell me after you think about it, and I will satisfy you."

Mukula lay on the ground with a hard smile, and after a while he said: "Little mage, what I hate the most is your nobleman's way of beating around the bush. For you, I only have one word - 5 gold coins! Other than that Nothing." After saying that, he closed his eyes expressionlessly, as if he had passed out again.

Grimm's eyes moved a few times angrily, trying to trick him and raise the ransom.I didn't expect to be seen through by this guy all of a sudden.Now it is impossible to advance or retreat by oneself.However, Mukula's bounty gold coins are 3, and now there are 2 more.If he gave the 3 to Master Dong Hezi and kept the remaining 2 for himself, he shouldn't mind too much.He himself said that money is not important to him.But it is very important to yourself! 2 gold coins!If you're lucky, you might even be able to support yourself until you learn Tier 4 arcane arts!

After a long time, Grimm said, "I can't believe your words. If I let you go, it's hard to guarantee that you won't take revenge on me. Maybe as soon as I let you go, your subordinates will attack here?"

Both remained silent.

After a long time, Grimm gave up hope, turned around and left.

The moment he stepped out of the prison door, Mukula suddenly said: "If you are willing to let me go, I will not only promise to give you 5 gold coins, but also I will swear to the god Serota that I will never take revenge on you. territory. Because my real enemy is that druid."

Grimm froze at the door, his legs trembling slightly with excitement and restlessness.

I don't know how long it took, but he became cruel and replied: "Okay! Tell me, where is your man? I will ask my men to bring the letter there, and then ask your man to bring money to redeem you."

Mukula shook his head with difficulty and said: "No, our people will not come here. What if you suddenly repent and use me as a bait to join forces with other nobles to kill us all? Take me to Liroux City, There we trade."

"Okay." Grimm agreed, "Then where are your people? Can you tell me? I want to complete this transaction as soon as possible."

Mukula snorted twice, and said, "You don't need to know, you just need to take me to Lilux City. As for my people, God Serotta will pass on the news to them .”

Grimm hurried back to his room and took out two precious scrolls from the depths of a large wooden box—the portal scroll and an unknown divination scroll, which was said to provide good advice for an action.

He caressed the two expensive scrolls, felt the powerful magic breath coming from them, and thought silently: "If necessary, you can use this prophecy scroll to decide the next move. Even if they want to lie to me, it will not be easy!" He thought with some complacency: "Even if the situation is not good, I can use the portal scroll to escape easily."

"And if I succeed, I will be able to learn higher arcane arts and become an official mage soon, hahahahahaha~~" He couldn't help laughing, the joy of becoming a mage is even more joyful than conquering a woman Cool!

Having made up his mind, he left the small castle and hurried to the warrior training ground and ordered three carriages to be prepared.One was used to carry Mukula imprisoned in wooden cages, and the other two express cars were used to load gold coins.He picked out more than 30 strong soldiers to accompany him.

Just as he was about to set off, Tywedes got the news from nowhere and rushed to intercept him.

Out of breath, he stopped Grimm's horse and tried to persuade him: "You can't take him away! This guy and his gods are all narrow-minded! Once let go, there will be endless troubles. Maybe you They will do it on the way back! I think it’s better to hand him over to the earl’s magistrate for 3 gold coins. And he was caught by Master Dong Hezi. No matter how we want to deal with him, we must discuss it with the master. Let's go."

"No!" Grimm said firmly, "If we hand him over to the earl's magistrate, then we definitely won't get 3 gold coins. I've heard about their greed, shamelessness, and faithlessness! Giving out bounties The power is in their hands, and withholding it layer by layer, we are very lucky to get [-]! I will not be so stupid! And this storm bringer has sworn to his gods that he will not take revenge on our territory. You don’t have to I'm worried."

"But what about Master Donghezi?" Tiwedes held on to the rein very anxiously, and said, "We are just imprisoning him on his behalf. If he finishes studying the secret art, what should he do if he comes down the mountain to find us? ? And even if we get the ransom, it should be handed over to Master Dong Hezi! After all, he was the one who caught the man. Why should we take risks on his behalf?"

"Needless to say!" Grimm looked at the unshaven middle-aged man in front of him with some annoyance, and suddenly felt that the wrinkles on his face were as annoying as his wordiness: "Master Dong Hezi caught Mukula, he deserves three ducats, and the rest is ours. I will share the money with you."

Tiwedes continued to persuade: "Then we must discuss it with the baron."

Grimm pulled his hand away angrily and shouted loudly; "Uncle now needs a quiet recuperation, and I am authorized to manage this territory and the people on it. I order you now to make sure that no one is allowed to leave before I return. Go bother him! Including you!"

Tiwedes stayed there with a stiff expression, watching Grimm and the others leave quickly.

The spring breeze blew gently on this desolate land, and finally called out a little green dotted among the gray and black rocky hills.

Palick rode on a tall and healthy horse, looking at the town of Harmonwell at the foot of the mountain-there was his uncle's castle.

"Holy Lord of Eternity!" He prayed in a low voice: "You are the only master of the universe, you are the master of the fate of all things. As your faithful servant, I will protect your lamb from here on. Violence of demons, I will spread your glory throughout the earth. Bless my Lord."

But his good mood didn't last long. Outside the town, he saw a half-length statue with a slightly humanoid shape. Judging from the aura emanating from it, it belonged to the god of water element.

"Damn evil god!" He cursed: "Damn idol worship! Doesn't it mean that this place is still a desert of faith? Why did someone suddenly intervene first? The most holy and eternal lord! Curse them, let those who spread All the idols of the evil god died of plague and disaster! Let those stubborn believers of the evil god fall into purgatory after death to accept the eternal punishment of fire that you bestow! Eternal punishment! Forever! Forever! Forever!”

He rode into town cursing.

People looked curiously and enviously at his richly carved dark gold armor, exquisite blue saddle, black cloak and reins decorated with colorful stripes, densely packed silver prayers on the scarlet horse headgear, and colorful tattoos on his four fingers. gemstone ring.Of course, there is also the most conspicuous dark black heavy warhammer!The hammer body in the deep darkness is reflecting bright sunlight, it seems to be the dazzling brilliance emanating from the darkness, or it seems that the endless black completely repels the light and does not let them penetrate at all - but no matter what, this outfit is better than The baron is twenty times more magnificent!

Palick was very pleased with their expressions: Look, look, you bumpkins.The more carefully I look at it, the better, and the more envious I look, the better, so that I can more easily let the glory of the eternal Lord shroud here.Hahahaha, poor lambs, the servants of the only true God have come here, and you are about to obtain eternal salvation!

In the Baron's room.

"Uncle!" Palick smiled and hugged the weak old baron, the cold dark gold armor made the baron very uncomfortable.But he was still excited.The mood that Grimm suffered from taking away the storm bringer without authorization became active again.

"I haven't seen you for many years, where have you been?" The old baron said happily, patting Palik's broad and strong shoulder; "I thought you were no longer in this world! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. In ten years, you have grown so tall and handsome, you are even stronger than a soldier." Now he has forgotten about that useless Grimm, and he just wants to know what kind of experience this good-natured man in front of him has had .

"This is all the grace of the Lord!" Palik introduced firmly: "When Duke Diguyasi's rebel army attacked Nuonu City, I was forced by them to join the rebel team. Thanks to the Lord's inspiration, in half The road gave me a chance to escape. It’s hard to describe what happened after that. In short, I have converted to the most holy and only eternal Lord, and now I am an official priest. Spread it all over the land."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." The old baron said happily: "Now our family finally has an outstanding talent." It is a deity who appeared on the eve of Duke Diguyasi's imminent destruction.Its history is only more than 20 years ago, but his church is developing very fast, especially in some poor places.However, he also heard that this god is very xenophobic, collectively referring to all other gods as "evil gods" or "demons", and repelling or even expelling them, regardless of whether they are good or evil, lawful or chaotic.As such, it is a rather domineering deity.

However, this god has powerful divine power, so many gods and churches can only dare to speak out.This makes them more and more wantonly expand their power.In some areas they even began to interfere with the will and power of nobles and kings!

Of course, Arik, the god of war that the old baron believed in, was also called an "evil god" by this church, and some people even distributed pamphlets in the army that slandered God Arik.This caused the rebound of Arik's church, and passed the relevant news to their powerful and well-connected believers, reminding them to pay attention to the "Eternal Lord" church and provide important information at any time.

Speaking of which, the two of them are quite rivals, but the churches of the two gods have not yet completely torn their skins. Besides, a priest who has obtained a fourth-level divine spell is no worse than himself, a baron in the wilderness.The annual income is even higher than myself!From the perspective of family interests, this is of course something to celebrate.

The old baron immediately asked the butler to prepare a sumptuous lunch to entertain him, and specifically instructed the chef not to be stingy with the seasoning and spices given by Master Dong Hezi, but to put as much as he wanted.Moreover, he also entertained him with precious wines that have been preserved for more than ten years, expressing his joy and condolences.
