wandering fairy

Leather dagger sheaths were patched all over the rogue's body, and there were several daggers on each arm, chest, and thigh.In his thirties, he quickly pulled out the dagger out of boredom, and then quickly inserted it back.The speed is so fast that people can only see cold lights flashing back.

He took the lead in breaking the dullness: "Maybe after this task is finished, I will leave too."

Everyone looked at him in silence, no one was surprised anymore.Because what the soldiers said also resonated with them. They are all over 30 years old, and they are no longer those ignorant teenagers whose hearts are higher than the sky and whose dreams are wider than the sea.If you can live a prosperous life in peace, no one will choose to take risks again!

After a while, the mage joked, "Why? Want to go back to the big city and be a thief?"

The rogue scolded him with a smile, and explained: "Some time ago, my teacher sent me a message that Duke Dino Valen is recruiting some rogues and rangers to serve as scouts in his army. Not bad. And we don't need to be involved in the war. I want to try my luck there."

The young priest quipped, "Maybe the next time we see you, we should call you 'Knight.'"

The wanderer laughed at himself, and said, "I never thought of being a 'knight'. If you want me to endure those delicate and contrived aristocrats all the time, it would be better to kill me!"

The pastor interjected, "Then why are you still in the army? You have to be restrained when you are in the army. How can you be comfortable as a hireling? Do what you want, and let go if you don't want to."

"Because I want to improve myself." The wanderer said: "When I was young, I didn't want to be a farmer living a hard life. I hoped to get money easily, so I became a wanderer. But people can't be a thief all their lives. Like that I have no pursuit! That’s why I joined this team to practice and experience. Now the teacher said that Duke Dino Valen has a large number of shadow dancers, including several top masters in the Western Continent! Now I am only 32 years old, and I still have development I want to continue to learn more skills so that I can make a lot of money in the future!"

The mage also said: "I may have to leave the team too. With the commission of 00 gold coins this time, I have already saved enough to study the sixth-order arcane arts, so I plan to continue to study arcane arts."

The soldier said in surprise: "Wow, that tuition fee is very expensive! Maybe it will wipe out all your savings! In fact, you already have level 5 arcane skills, and you can get along well under any duke's subordinates." Errand, why bother with your own money?"

The mage said helplessly: "No way, every time I see the treatment, privileges, authority and power those high-ranking mages receive, I can't help but want to be one of them. I know the sixth-order arcane art It is a huge hurdle, and it is also a watershed between ordinary spells and high-level mages. If the talent is not good, no matter how much money you spend to learn it. But, I still want to try! Even if I fail, I have no complaints. At least I can Give up the idea of ​​becoming a high-ranking mage, and calm down to live the days to come."

Hearing what they said, the pastor was a little stunned: "You are all planning to leave, so what should I do? It is too difficult to find another team like yours. Even if I find someone, they will accept me! After all, I only Possesses a 4th-level divine technique."

He turned his head and asked the wanderer again: "Does that Duke Dino Valen you mentioned need a priest?"

The wanderer spread his hands and said: "He is a very strange person. He wants all professions, but he doesn't want a priest. I really don't know what he thinks. Maybe there is a church of gods behind him? That's why he rejects other people. Priest of the gods?"

But the mage said to the pastor: "Actually, you are the least anxious person in our group. You have the Church of the Eternal Lord as your backing, so you don't have to worry about food and lodging for the rest of your life. If you can't get along well outside, just Can go back to town and be an ordinary priest. Still live a good life eating and drinking."

The pastor smiled helplessly, and said, "Go back? I don't have a special parish. After I go back, I can only be someone's deputy, watching other people's faces all day long. Living in intrigue every day, others think you are doing well. .I just couldn't stand it and came out."

The mage smiled meaningfully and said, "Didn't your church say that everyone in the church is brothers and sisters, that everyone is equal before the Lord, that everyone should be fraternal, and that they must be content? They will also fight with each other like ordinary people? There are dioceses who are kings, and those who do not. The parish is a bandit?"

The pastor sighed and said, "It's hard to describe. If I lived comfortably, why would I stay in a big house and run out to live and sleep with you? Well... don't mention it."

He pointed to Palik who was praying on the top of the hill, and said: "He is very lucky, and he will soon inherit a territory. Then he can turn this place into his parish, and he will be both a lord and a priest. What a prestige!" .I don’t know when I will have his luck?”

The next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight came out from the top of the mountain, the five of them had already bypassed the town of Harmonwell, and unknowingly came to the back of the big rock close to the stone castle on the mountainside, and poked their heads out to observe carefully. with.The young priest began to cast auxiliary spells on the fighters.

The mage quickly cast the "invisibility enchantment", and they disappeared together in an instant.This spell can make teammates within feet (about 6 meters) around him invisible, but they can see each other normally.

"It doesn't seem to be on guard." The rogue said after observing the stone castle carefully for a while, "There seems to be a figure in that window. Give me an Eagle Eye spell."

The mage and the priest looked at each other helplessly: "I didn't prepare this. Yesterday it was said that we were fighting around the stone castle, so there is no need to use this long-distance observation spell."

The wanderer patted his head and said, "Then give me an invisibility technique, I'll go to the pile of firewood next to the stone castle and take a closer look at the situation inside."

Rogues are generally trailblazers and scouts.Especially after the blessing of the third-order arcane "invisibility", it is difficult for ordinary monsters to detect their existence, just to conduct early reconnaissance for the battle and find out the enemy's situation.

"Hurry up." Palick said, "The mage's invisibility can only last for a few minutes, and that druid knows the seventh-level spell of 'controlling the weather', maybe he also has the seventh-level 'true seeing' Well. You must be careful."

"Don't worry." The rogue nodded and said, "I'm just going to check the firewood pile next to me. If he finds me, I'm still confident that I can avoid his first attack."

The mage chanted a few incantations neatly and quickly cast an invisibility spell on him.

With this effect, the rogue remains invisible after moving outside the mage's feet.

The rogue uses stealth skills and walks in a strange posture. Every step is as silent as a civet cat. Even if he walks past a rabbit, he can't disturb it at all.

The breeze blows gently around, and the silence of early spring is so peaceful.

He approached the pile of brown firewood adjacent to the stone castle. The thick trunks, thin branches and even withered grass were randomly piled together, which seemed to be left over from winter use.It's just that the owner here is too lazy, so he piled them up in a haphazard manner, which has no aesthetic feeling!

The tidy wanderer cursed inwardly, then leaned on the pile of firewood and looked into the large windows of the stone fort—the figure was a beautiful girl with brown skin, and she was wearing a thick leather jacket. First.That figure is really hot enough!

"Is this the druid's female slave?" The rogue felt envious in his heart: "Slender waist, fat hips and tall, when will I get such a girl? I heard that she is a half-drow warrior of mixed blood. Mom Yes, it must be enough to go to bed! Why don't you talk to them and leave this woman to enjoy it first?"

There was a loud "bang", and the firewood pile burst and splashed.

A "trunk" thicker than a bucket "rushed" out of the pile of firewood at an imperceptibly fast speed, and "hit" into the wanderer like lightning.

But he didn't get hit.

Because a huge poisonous snake has bitten him to death!

The thick "trunk" is the body of a snake!

The head of the giant snake was raised, and it was as high as two stories!Its body is a combination of brown and yellow, and when it is curled, it is undoubtedly a pile of firewood and straw, and even the lines are lifelike to the bark and grass stems!No wonder even the vigilant rogue didn't notice it at all!

The wanderer seems to be a poor scarecrow "hanging" on a bare tree trunk, being shaken in mid-air as if its limbs are falling apart.Two large fangs that were longer than a dagger had already penetrated his chest, piercing the inlaid leather armor and his lungs, and the strong poison began to paralyze his heart in an instant.

He let out a soft but painful moan, but he was worthy of an 11th-level rogue, and in the blink of an eye he had drawn a long dagger with his still unoccupied left hand, and thrust it hard into the snake's head.

The dagger collided violently with the large and thick scales, making an extremely ear-piercing sound of gold and iron clanging—the dagger seemed to be pierced on a thick steel shield and was violently bounced back.

At this moment, the poison violently broke out, and the wanderer suddenly felt his eyes were blurred and his mind was drowsy.He hummed twice and passed out.

It's only five seconds before and after!

Palik was the first to react, and he yelled: "It's a poisonous snake! Go and save him!" He was the first to rush over.

Although the young pastor was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow with his mace.

Not to be outdone, the soldier shouted excitedly to strengthen his courage.Although he was wearing heavy armor, he was blessed with the strength of a bull, but he walked like flying, and rushed to the front in a few strokes.

The three rushed out of the range of the invisible barrier in two steps, and rushed to the giant snake in a few breaths.

But the mage didn't completely remove the "invisible enchantment" on his body.He quietly and quickly chanted a spell, added a "flying spell" to himself, and flew quietly into the air - here no one or animal can see or attack him, he is the safest!

Holding a round shield, the soldier swung a three-finger-wide one-handed sword and cursed: "※%#￥#, how could there be such a big snake?"

Before the words were finished, sand and gravel splashed suddenly on a piece of land the size of a small bathtub next to it, and a long thing as thick as a bucket rushed out from the ground obliquely, biting the soldier's leg with a "crack".Then with a violent pull, the heavy warrior was pulled to the ground!It was quickly dragged into the vertical hole with the wide mouth of the well!

Palik stopped in his tracks, stopped the young priest behind and said, "Be careful, it's Giant Worm Art! Two of them have already appeared, and there must be a third one around!"

He saw it very clearly, the thing that dragged the soldier into the burrow with lightning speed just now looked like a wasp larva!They like to hide in the ground and wait for prey to pass by, then suddenly rush out and drag the prey into the hole, poison and eat them.But under normal circumstances, they are only a finger long, how can they grow bigger than the trunk?

Only the "giant insect technique" has this effect.And this spell can only change three bugs at a time. Now that there are large poisonous snakes and large wasp larvae, there must be a third bug in ambush!

But generally this kind of magic can only be used to change arthropods such as centipedes, spiders, and scorpions. I have never heard of snakes that can change!

Thinking of this, the remaining two priests looked extremely serious, carefully scanning the surrounding ground, stones and other coverings, eager to find the third giant worm.

Suddenly, there was a "buzzing" sound from the stone castle, and a large piece of faint "black mist" flew out from the windows on the upper floor of the stone castle, immediately covering the large area.

The remaining two priests and a mage looked around carefully, and they turned out to be a group of poisonous bees flying at high speed!

Palik took a deep breath, what a vicious trick!

It should be known that although all protective spells can make people invulnerable, they can't protect the whole body. There are always a few places where the defense is relatively weak.If these poisonous bees come up and sting randomly, even with the best armor spells, there is no guarantee that they will not be poisoned.Although the two priests could not be poisoned to death, it was still very uncomfortable!

So Palik did not hesitate to take out an expensive Tier 6 scroll - the anti-living enchantment.

He immediately added this spell to himself, and he was immediately surrounded by invisible energy within a foot (about 6 meters), and the densely packed poisonous bees could only wander around the periphery, like a group of vicious robbers watching outside.But none can get in - arcane energies are constantly repelling them!

The middle-aged mage is still safe and sound hidden in the invisible barrier. Although there are some poisonous bees flying around him, it is obvious that these brainless guys have not noticed him-the invisible barrier is good!Look at us mages, you can get rid of troubles with a light hand, so it seems that you still need to use expensive high-level scrolls?

At this critical juncture, he still couldn't control his complacent attitude.But this only proves his ignorance of wild animals - he suddenly felt that something fell on his face, and looking out of the corner of his eye, it turned out to be a poisonous bee slowly crawling on his face!

Although he had already blessed himself with mage armor, and even though he was carrying an antidote on his body, it would be a disaster if these things really crawled into his ears, stung his eyes and other parts!I am only in my 30s, and I still have a lot of beauties and privileges that I haven't enjoyed yet.How can you die here?The stupid concept of "honorable sacrifice" is nothing more than a lullaby to encourage soldiers to willingly sacrifice their lives.How can you take it seriously as a mage?

So he was extremely terrified in his heart, and kept yelling: "Quickly add an anti-living barrier to me! Quickly add an anti-living barrier to me! Quick! Quick!"

But I heard the priest below shout: "Your invisibility barrier hasn't been removed, we can't see you! Why are you panicking? Hurry up and use the ice storm to freeze these bugs to death, don't you understand?!"

The mage suddenly woke up, and quickly chanted the incantation sound to guide the formation of magic.

Suddenly, the poisonous bee swished on his face and got into his mouth!

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his tongue—he was stung!

Enduring the severe pain, he hastily opened his mouth wide to spit out the poisonous bee.Before he could catch his breath, two more poisonous bees scrambled towards his mouth and rushed in!

Continuous stings!

The severe pain made him moan repeatedly.The invisible barrier that required concentration to maintain suddenly collapsed—his figure appeared in midair.He wanted to speak, but his tongue was so numb that he couldn't pronounce a word!He wanted to grope for the antidote, but his hands and feet had already started to feel weak, and he couldn't unplug the medicine several times in a row!

Countless poisonous bees rushed towards him like a cloud gathering, stinging wildly.They crawled all over the mage's body, and finally a few got into the nostrils and ear holes. These parts are not protected by the mage's armor!The repeated stings and toxins instantly brought unbearable pain to mortals, which made his mind split!Some poisonous bees even sting continuously on his lips, causing a large amount of poison to rush into his blood vessels.

The poor middle-aged mage had difficulty breathing, and subconsciously opened his mouth to breathe.Poisonous bees rushed into his mouth...

He didn't know that poisonous bees are extremely sensitive to the gases they breathe out, especially to the carbon dioxide they breathe out.Whenever he speaks, he always spits out a large amount of carbon dioxide, which makes it easy for the poisonous bees to find the position of his mouth.

The two priests waited for a while but didn't see the ice storm coming down. They eagerly looked up - the mage was like a floating corpse floating in mid-air, surrounded by crazy poisonous bees!

"Idiot!" Palik cursed and turned to the young pastor, "Use volley to go up and detoxify him!"

"Removing poison" can remove most poisons, but it requires contact with the patient.Now the only way to save him is to use magic to fly into the air.

The young pastor hurriedly chanted the incantation, and was about to launch "Valley Walk".With this spell, one can "walk" into the air, the effect is like climbing a mountain.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A figure thicker and longer than a horse's torso leaped down from the window on the third floor of the stone castle.The speed quickly turned into a cloud of invisible shadows, and hit the young pastor in the blink of an eye.

There was a loud "bang", as if a fast-moving carriage hit the young pastor, and it swished far away.He didn't even have a chance to snort!

The young priest was slammed into a large rock protruding from the hillside. The solid armor saved his life, but the life-saving equipment had been dented by the huge impact force, seriously hindering the priest's breathing and movement. It was hard to even catch my breath.

Only then did he come back to his senses, and when he took a closer look, it was actually a large green tiger beetle as big as an ox that hit him with its head as a hammer.Now its sharp and intertwined broken iron jaws are biting itself hard!If this armor hadn't been blessed with second-class magic armor, I'm afraid I would have been bitten right through it!

The tiger beetle was originally a beetle smaller than a baby's little finger. It has a fierce temperament and eats meat for a living. Its most powerful trick is fast sprinting. It is said that its sprinting speed can be described as "fast as lightning".Even a martial artist can hardly see its sprint trajectory.Even it couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly during its rapid sprint, so it had to stop and observe before sprinting again.

The young priest was almost suffocated, he raised the star head hammer in his right hand and hit the tiger beetle hard on the head.

With a sound of "kuang", the star-head hammer seemed to hit the green steel block, and his mouth was numb from the shock, and he almost lost his weapon.

He took a closer look, and found that apart from the green chitin shell, this large tiger beetle also had a special luster, as if the shell was covered with a thin layer of transparent resin.Moreover, there are some protruding teeth on the carapace including the head, as if it is a special mace itself!

The tiger beetle suddenly turned around, biting the priest, turned around and slammed into the thick wall of the stone castle!

The young pastor felt that his body was being pulled up by a huge force in an instant, and the huge inertia almost broke his neck!What's even more frightening is that when sprinting at high speed, all the surrounding scenes suddenly become blurred—quick!It's too fast, so fast that I can't see the surrounding scenery clearly!

As soon as this idea came up, the whole person hit the thick stone wall with a bang.The tiger beetle's barbed head is like a huge star-head hammer violently bombarding its own chest cavity.

Pfft—blood spewed from the mouth and splashed in all directions.

The ribs were broken one after another, and the lungs were deeply injured!If it weren't for the equipment on his body that strengthened his strength, maybe with just this blow, he would be sent to the Kingdom of God!

The young priest regretted it a lot. If he hadn't blessed all the auxiliary spells on the warrior, how could he be helpless?He tried his best to fumble for the magic wand or scroll on his body, as long as he found any, he would almost survive!

However, the fierce and fast tiger beetle didn't give him any chance!

It bit the young pastor's body and turned around suddenly, and rushed towards another big rock with a swish - as fast as a flying shadow.

Palik's eyes were tearing apart, and within less than [-] breaths, the wanderer was bitten by a large poisonous snake in mid-air, and his game was about to end; the mage "lyed" upright in mid-air like a floating corpse, uncertain of life or death; The soldier was dragged into the cave and never came out. Now the young priest is also in danger.

He has never seen such a situation!

They have always been the only ones who plot against monsters, but they did not expect to be plotted against by monsters this time!

They have always been the only ones who fight monsters in ambush, but they didn't expect to be ambushed by monsters today!

They were the only ones who didn't give the monster a chance, but this time it was the monster's turn to not give them a chance!

Could it be that the plan to destroy the pagan leader was cancelled?

Or just use those scrolls?

As soon as he thought of this, he shivered all over his body - those things were obtained by betting his soul back then!

If you use it now, what will you do if you encounter stronger enemies in the future?But if it is not used, is there "future"?If a baby can't even stand firmly, is he still qualified to consider what to do if he fell down while running?

What's more, how can you win if you don't use it?Now only a few animals have come out, and the real enemy has not even been seen.At this time, he began to regret greatly again. If he had known that the other party was so difficult, he would not have been so reckless.

But, will the other party let it go?And in order to obtain my first pastoral land, I have already spent most of my savings. If I just give up like this, how can I develop upwards in the future?

No!no way!This must be the Lord testing my perseverance!

He struggled to shout to his heart: must kill this heretic at all costs!Even if I bet my soul!Now is not the time to look forward and back and hold back!Even if it costs money, I have to kill this guy!

Then he immediately took out an exquisite scroll with red patterns, which concealed a faint but majestic aura—a kind of aura of flames burst out!He prayed loudly, and after only a few syllables, a huge amount of energy surged in the scroll, and in an instant, raging flames were ignited within a radius of more than 30 feet (more than [-] meters), mixed with howling strong winds, as if countless flames had gathered into a giant The fiery vortex suddenly swept across this vast area!

With a loud bang, the young priest was once again held tightly by the large tiger beetle and crashed into the extremely hard stone castle wall.As if a bird hit the steel plate, or like a steam hammer hitting the soft dough, the armor and helmet of the young priest were deeply dented, and the thorns on the head of the tiger beetle pierced his chest cavity, and violent blood flowed from his chest And gushing out of the mouth.

It's too fast!The huge inertia generated during the back and forth impact made him even have no chance to move his arms!

He was extremely surprised to see Palik who was not far away took out a very, very rare scroll and activated a seventh-level magic spell——Firestorm.He knew that the spell could greatly harm all surrounding creatures—except those whom the caster wanted to avoid.Flames are whistling and forming all around, flying like a strong wind.Be it poisonous bees, giant poisonous snakes, or large-scale tiger beetles, they are all doomed!Just survive a moment and survival is possible!

But, he couldn't wait for that moment.Hearing the sound of the tiger beetle in front of him chewing its mouthparts, and Meimei sweet eating his own blood, he exhaled his last breath, and the star hammer that he had been holding tightly in his hand, which had smashed countless monster heads, finally fell into the dust powerlessly— — He was "hammered" to death by a monster.

The hurricane-like flame storm spurred a violent whirlwind, sweeping and devouring the area.
