rune hunter

Chapter 302
The girl woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and found that she fell asleep lying on the table at some point, and the coffee next to her was already cold.Yawning lightly, she moved her numb wrist and frowned slightly.With her physical fitness, she couldn't even survive the work of staying up all night, but the documents waiting for approval on the table still haven't decreased. Every piece of parchment inside is closely related to the people in this city, so she had to consume a lot mind.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of the cold, bitter coffee, the girl habitually grabbed the document in front of her, suddenly feeling something was wrong.It is an important task for a warrior to control a reasonable sleep. Even if she takes a short nap due to exhaustion, her body will quickly enter a deep sleep state and recover her energy and physical strength in the most efficient way.Unless there is a clear sense of hostility, it is generally not awakened.And her current energy is obviously not fully recovered, so it means that someone has disturbed her sleep.

The girl looked around and saw that the little maid serving her was dozing off on the chair, and there was no third person in the room other than that.She was silent for a moment, slowly put the coffee cup on the table, and held her breath.

Under the candlelight, the coffee in the cup has a translucent amber color, which is enough to show the high quality of its raw materials.However, this was obviously not the girl's focus. She stared at the liquid in the cup, and found that there was a slight ripple on the surface of the liquid that was almost imperceptible.

The girl's eyes changed, she pushed away the chair and walked quickly to the window, and opened the window to look at the dark night sky in the north.The moment she walked to the window, a white flower suddenly bloomed on the distant land, lighting up the sky for an instant.

Although it was just that momentary light, it was enough to attract the girl's attention. A trace of solemnity appeared on the girl's face, she untied the blanket she was wearing, and stepped out of the window.

The vision that happened in the distance is still very far away from Sword Castle, and it is not enough to disturb the residents who have fallen asleep.In the middle of the night, there was silence in the city, and no one saw a shooting star flashing away from the castle below the sword tomb.

The girl stepped out of the window at the top of the castle with one step, and stepped onto the wall of the Sword Castle across a distance of a thousand meters in the next step.It can be seen from the city wall that a deep pit has already collapsed under her feet, this is definitely not her first visit.And the soldiers in charge of the night watch on the city wall have long been familiar with this, and no one was frightened.A general with a sword came over from the side, half-kneeled respectfully in front of the girl, and said in a low voice, "Miss, it's nothing important, it has nothing to do with us."

Hearing the general's words, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still kept a calm expression on her face—after these days of experience, she has at least learned not to be surprised. She quietly felt the message from afar, and then Signaling the general to get up, he asked him: "What happened? Why are there strong men at the peak of silver fighting outside our city?"

"It's not clear exactly what happened, but according to the information sent back by the scouts, it seems that the refugee camp settlement was attacked. The attackers were two experts whose strength was at least at the silver level, and they directly alarmed the prophet and the big man .” When he said the word “prophet”, the general showed a look of disdain, but he didn’t show this emotion in front of the girl.

"Without the organization of the Stonework Brotherhood, those refugees have almost nothing. Who would pay such a high price to attack them?" The girl looked at the distant sky and said to herself: "Could it be that their goal is the Stonework Brotherhood? ? But what's the point?"

"With all due respect, miss, you shouldn't waste your mind on that gang organization." The general hesitated and said, "That pretending prophet is just the leader of a gang organization, and now he dares to coerce these refugees into bargaining with us , I really don’t know how to live or die. We have done our best to raise some food for them out of moral considerations, and there is no need to think more about him.”

"What I care about is not the Prophet, but his enemies." The girl nodded and said, "We have at least some information about the Masonry Brotherhood, but we don't know anything about these new enemies. We cannot relax our vigilance against any unexpected factors.”

"You're right, miss." The general nodded in satisfaction, thought for a while and said, "If it came from the north, then it could only be the group of Eastalenian people. Although Eastalenian doesn't know It was destroyed in vain, but the heritage of the White Lion family has always been profound, so it would not be surprising even if some experts at the Silver level survived. Although we rejected their request for assistance twice before, they must understand our difficulties. If those Istaren people want to go south through our road, they must pass through the settlements of those refugees, and it is normal to have conflicts with the Masonry Brotherhood. These two groups are not good people. For Our Sword Castle has no benefit at all, so it doesn’t matter if we let them fight to the death.”

"That's right..." The girl frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's just that the world is difficult now, if there is no conflict of interest between each other, why bother to fight to the death like this? People who died of the plague Enough is enough, it is not easy to survive, why don't you cherish your own life?"

"Miss, don't you realize it?" The general looked at the girl in surprise, and said in a low voice: "In this world, only the strong have the right to show mercy."

Only the strong have the right to be merciful, and now obviously El doesn't think he is on the strong side, the weapon in his hand is eager to drink the blood of the strong, but he doesn't have the strength to defeat the strong, he can only Fleeing like a wild dog.

Three minutes ago, he seized the opportunity to activate Fenghen's ability—or Fenghen seized the opportunity to activate the "Kiss of the Void" with the help of the current master.El's figure suddenly moved behind Hagnan, and the extremely sharp blade tore open the back of the giant's neck, but was firmly stuck by the giant's neck bone and could not move.

It wasn't that the knife wasn't sharp enough, but that El's strength wasn't enough to cause damage to Hagnan's body.His muscles have been trained to be as tough as steel, and the hardness of the bones in his body is even more unimaginable.El's knife slashed on his neck bone, but the force of the rebound shattered the jaws of the tiger, and the palms of his hands were covered with blood.

Under normal circumstances, one of the criteria for evaluating a high-level silver powerhouse is to see whether he has the strength to "rule the battlefield".The masters who have just entered the silver rank may not be weak in their own strength, but they have not fully tapped their potential until they step into the silver secret realm and go all the way to the end. At this time, they will clarify their own path, that is, their personal understanding of power It can also be called the understanding of the rules.

Pallanti still hasn't advanced to Silver yet, but with the horn of the lion's tooth, she can display the strength close to that of a high-ranking Silver. However, this only refers to the single standard of "dominating the battlefield", so she is currently the most suitable position It is the charge commander of the cavalry unit, not for fighting alone.

Going up from this level is to reach the realm of reaching the peak of silver and touching the golden door. It is difficult to describe the strength of this kind of powerhouse in words, because their strength has reached the limit that mortals can achieve. Unable to rate it.El was also not sure whether Hegnan had reached this level, the only thing he felt about this giant was that it was hard, as hard as steel!
Two consecutive injuries successfully aroused Hagnan's anger. Although he is not a berserker, he also has his own unique methods.When El was trying to pull out the wind marks, the skin of his body had been quietly stained with a layer of bronze, and the muscles that had just been cut closed up by themselves, suddenly clamping El's hand inside.

Hagnan grinned wildly, grabbed El's arm with his backhand, pulled him from behind with ease, threw him hard on the ground like a sack, and then smashed him with a sledgehammer with his other hand. down.

El fell to the ground involuntarily, half of the bones of his body were squeezed out of shape, and the arm held by Hagnan was directly twisted into two sections.Even with the protection of Xiao Langa's timely injection of hormones, the severe pain all over his body made him unable to bear the blackness in front of his eyes.However, at this time, he couldn't allow him to slack off, because Hagnan's sledgehammer had already hit his head, and if he couldn't dodge it, he would become a puddle of meat in the next moment.

Al fought back the pain and patted his chest, and the second injection of biological hormones was injected into his chest.This injection was the adrenaline that had saved his life, but at this moment, its function was to allow him to breathe a sigh of relief and regain his strength.

Hagnan is not a berserker, but that doesn't mean El isn't. He still has a bloodthirsty rune left unused. This thing that hurts himself first and then the enemy doesn't fit his usual fighting style, so It is rarely useful at ordinary times.However, El himself had to admit that he could easily fall into a state of madness when the battle was fierce, and at that time this rune combined with the waltz of growth was absolutely outstanding-in a certain way, it also made up for it. Solved the defect of insufficient lethality in the storm raid state.

A cloud of hot air spread out from his chest, revitalizing El's body. Seeing the giant hammer falling on his head, he dodged to dodge. At the same time, he reached out to grab the falling hammer head and jumped on it.

Hagnan's arm was also covered with a layer of bronze color. El held the wind mark and brushed across his arm. The blade made a harsh noise of metal rubbing against the skin, but it was only for a short moment. The scar cut through that layer of metal skin, and stabbed straight at Hagnan's cheek.

The sudden burst of speed and strength from El surprised Hagnan. It was too late to react at this time, but it is not in vain that the Hercules has been able to survive until now. He ignored the blade in front of him, He opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, then yelled loudly at El!

Another stream of blood spattered out, and the two fell on their backs at the same time.

　I almost failed to keep my morals, but in the end I resisted the Sandman's call, so I just asked for a recommendation ticket
