Ryan's Sword

Chapter 75 No.70 New Members in Act Five

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, the eastern horizon had just turned pale, and the forest camp was already quietly busy.The campfire that has been burning all night is quickly filled with new firewood, and the peeled and washed prey and wild vegetables are rolled in various marching pots, giving off a mouth-watering aroma.

The second exploration of the temple ruins is about to start in a few hours. Thinking of this, almost all members of the adventure group who were enjoying breakfast couldn't help but take a few more bites of food——

Only when the stomach is full can one have the strength to fight against the group of hard and durable tin cans.

The first exploration of the adventure group has proved that the underground temple that was just unearthed is not a paradise for recognizing people and entertaining people. Even the first two heroic generals who were successfully overthrown by the adventure group have already shown troublesome abilities—— If it weren't for the presence of Ian, who is familiar with dungeon strategies, even Rengar, the leader of the adventure group, would be in danger of being seriously injured in the face of the wind general Uzusu's stealth attack that reached the peak of the iron rank.

The orange-red holy day leaped into the sky, and Ian and Lilith, who had breakfast, met Rengar at the place where the adventure group began to gather.

At this time, the bruise on the corner of the brow of this big man has faded a lot compared to yesterday.This made Ian, who noticed this detail, couldn't help but sigh that the physique and recovery ability of the Iron Rank warriors had actually surpassed the normal level of the human race.

"Good day, Commander."

"Good morning, Ray! Eh! Gal! Al! Uncle!"

The two young men greeted the leader of the adventure group one after the other, but Ian's waving only expressed politeness when meeting each other, and the voice of the blond girl gnashing her teeth sounded more like she wanted to bite someone rather than a greeting.

"Ha! Ian, Lilith, you guys are really early." Rengar, who was embracing his hands and watching the squad leader counting the number of people under him, turned his head and smiled at the two of them honestly, "We need to wait a while after the assembly is over, you guys Find a place to rest for a while."

Seeing the innocent and honest smiling face of the hairy man in front of her, the blond girl was so angry that she almost wanted to step forward and give him a kick——

Lilith just remembered that almost every time Rengar made a small report to Grandpa Price or Smelly Dad, he always looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

How can humans be so shameless!

Seeing that Lilith was showing signs of putting the resentment in his heart into action, Ian immediately grabbed the back collar of her leather armor, like picking up a kitten with fried fur, and slipped the aggrieved blond girl away. back.

"Captain," unlike Lilith, who wanted revenge, Ian's focus was obviously on the information revealed in Rengar's words, "Are you waiting for support?"

"Ah, that's right." Rengar gave Ian a look of approval, and said at the same time: "Since our team has no defense against magic attacks, Lord Price sent a message for help to the headquarters last night. I believe that after a while, support from the guild should arrive."

Hearing this, Ian nodded.Beside him, Lilith, who was baring her teeth and claws, also calmed down, and said: "So, the adventure group is going to join a group of new members." However, she still keenly observed that a lot of time had passed for assembly, but the adventure group still hadn't reached the size of yesterday's expedition.

"You really have a bright eye, Miss Lilith!"

Rengar flattered him without hesitation, and then resumed his serious posture and explained to the two of them: "The battle damage statistics after yesterday's battle exceeded our original expectations. In order to defeat the No. Other than humans, more than half of the iron-level adventurers were found to have damage to their internal organs after returning to the camp, and as for the white-level adventurers, although the situation is a little better, almost everyone is injured." Said, Lei Engal sighed happily, "Fortunately, we had already decided to return to the camp to rest. If we forcefully continue to move forward, we are likely to suffer great losses."

Ian was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized.

The swordsmanship of the Heroic General, which incorporates the characteristics of the guardian elements, is judged to be blunt in the attack, but its damage to the flesh of the creature is a level deeper than the conventional blunt attack.If I had to describe it, it was an effect similar to beating a cow across a mountain. Even an MT with a heavy defense could not completely resist this kind of penetrating damage based on rules.

In the battle against Guardian General Myra, Ian's most important role was nothing more than guiding Lilith to shoot that crucial multi-segment shot. Besides, his duty was to protect the safety of the ranger girl.Therefore, the enemies he faced were only those heroic soldiers with the addition of protection elements. Although these guys were difficult to deal with, they were still a group of white-rank miscellaneous soldiers with little power.

It is precisely because of Ian's support status throughout the entire game—well...it's a bit of putting gold on his face to put it this way, or to put it in a more intuitive and accurate way, that is to play soy sauce—that made him completely forget about Mike. Pull this deep damage ability.

As for the players who challenge the dungeon, after defeating an elite monster, they will call the nurses in the team to refresh the buffs of the whole team.During this process, the dark wounds left by the battle against Myra have long been removed by the way when the various holy light magic spells take effect-but at present, this treatment basically relies on bandages, and it is purely composed of physical occupations. The guild adventure group obviously did not have such comfortable treatment.

After going back and forth, Ian has completely forgotten about this, let alone reminding the leader Rengar.

Fortunately, Rengar, who discovered this afterwards, didn't think it was Ian's deliberate concealment.Although he almost obeyed Ian when he was fighting in the temple, he didn't think that this young man could reach the level of omniscience and omnipotence. What are the scholars doing!
Fortunately, the adventure group stopped the car in time after that battle, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Ian, who was ashamed in his heart, could only comfort himself in this way.

When the holy day was fully up and the sky was bright, the number of adventurers who actually assembled was only about two-thirds of yesterday's.Fortunately, the leader Rengar explained the situation to everyone immediately, and everyone was relieved of their worries, and they just waited for the guild's support to arrive.

Time passed minute by minute while waiting.

Just when the adventurers were getting impatient, a sharp-eyed adventurer suddenly yelled:
"coming!"

Including Ian, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of Lewisburg.

However, under the eyes of the adventurer, the forest in that direction was undulating and swaying like green waves when the morning wind blows, and there was no sound of human teams passing through it.

"In the sky! They're flying!"

The adventurer's voice sounded again, raising everyone's gaze to a higher level.This time, everyone finally saw that on the blue sky with white clouds above the forest, a row of bird-like flying creatures approached the forest camp from a distance from the initial small point.

"unicorn?"

Ian saw from a distance that a group of white horses with wings were flying in the sky, and his first thought was the Unicorn Knights secretly stationed in the imperial capital of San Soderos.But after a while, he already denied that idea—the group of flying horses approaching did not have spiral sharp horns on their foreheads, not to mention that the flying knights that belonged only to the royal family had reached the silver level in terms of strength. At the current level, it is far from the time for them to appear on the stage.

Furthermore, no matter how powerful the adventurers guild in Louisburg is, it is impossible to call in that level of support force to come all the way to clean up the ruins of a temple in the forest.

"The priest's robes of the Temple of Light..." Waiting for the visitors in the sky to fly closer and closer, Ian finally saw clearly the costumes of the knights on the back of the Pegasus, and suddenly said: "So, these are not real flying horses." The horse is a celestial horse summoned by the holy light magic."

"These beautiful flying horses are Celestial Horses?" The blond girl on the side heard Ian's self-talk, and immediately came over: "Where is Heavenly Realm? Is it another world?" While talking, the little girl The big eyes full of bright little stars have been following the pure white flying horses exuding holy brilliance. In her mind, it would be great if she could sign an animal companion contract with this beautiful and handsome creature—— As a bow and arrow class, Ranger can also have his own animal companion, which is the baby in the player's mouth.However, due to occupational restrictions, generally speaking, rangers can only sign one animal companion contract, and their domestication ability is far inferior to that of similar occupations.

For ranger players, unless they can contract a divine pet that is the best in itself, then their animal companions are more cute than fighting.

"The heavens are indeed another world compared to the main world we are in," Ian immediately explained to Lilith's question: "But it is a world purely made of holy light, and so are the creatures there— For example, these celestial horses, they only have the form of Pegasus, but they do not have the soul of a real Pegasus, and when the time limit expires or when the magic spell is released, these illusory lives will return to the source of the Holy Light." Ian glanced at the disappointed blonde The girl blinked and added another knife: "So, don't even think about signing an animal companion contract!"

Lilith, who was deeply shocked, drooped her little head, and even the playful ponytail behind her head fell down weakly.However, the girl suddenly thought of something and raised her head again, grabbed Ian's arm and said, "These heavenly horses are not good, so what about the unicorns you mentioned at the beginning? They can't be made of holy light." illusory life?"

"Uh, this is..."

"I don't care, I want to contract a unicorn as my animal partner," Lilith's beautiful blue eyes sparkled with little stars again, "You will definitely help me, right? Captain—Captain!"
