Befriending The Most Powerful Person

Langton City, which is a very prosperous city at the junction of the two countries, is also the only way to the Holy City.

Part of the bustling city can still be seen from a distance from the carriage. Shao Ci covered his drowsy head because the carriage was too bumpy and could not help but widen his eyes.

Wendler, who was riding on the side, came over and said softly: "Tear it again, you will be there soon."

In the past few days, Shao Ci stayed in the carriage. The other knights scoffed at the incident and never heard of such a cowardly brave man.

But because of their fear of Wendell's relationship, they were respectful and courteous at least in front of Wendell.

"Um." Shao nodded and nodded, his heart was a little flustered, and he didn't know how the plot would develop, because the original was directly from the waterway to the Holy Capital.

According to the general plot setting of this type of game, it is impossible to have nothing terrible in this Langton city!

However, it is impossible for Shao Ci to continue to walk the waterway in order to restore the plot. He ran like that before, and it would be strange if he continued to walk away from the water without being killed by the Siren.

Shao Ci originally wanted to say that everyone would detour directly to the holy city, but these knights who have been working hard for a few days are already eager to rest, it is impossible to listen to the prestige of the current brave Shao Ci.

And ... even if Shao Ci himself was exhausted physically and mentally because of these days of rushing, not to mention he had slept in the cave for more than ten days before! Now I am very much looking for a place to take a good rest and eat a lot.

——In short, the previous things have been carried over, this time should be no problem!

Soon, in the evening, everyone entered Langton.

After Wendell gave his identification, the group was ushered into the owner's mansion.

Lord Count John was a middle-aged man who warmly met the people and arranged for them to stay in the mansion. In the evening, he prepared a delicious dinner, which made Shao, who had no spirit at all, immediately cheered up.

After dinner, of course, it's time to rest.

Shao Ci followed the servant to the room, lay down on the bed to cover the quilt, and watched Wendell sitting beside him, finally realized what was wrong, and immediately said: "It's so late now ... it's time to sleep, too ? "

"I'm going to sleep in this room tonight too." Wendell smiled slightly.

"Huh?" Shao said, suddenly surprised. "Is this okay ..."

Wendell's attitude was extremely natural. "Don't we all sleep together before?"

"So, that was before!" Shao said, "I'm all grown up now, and it's not good to sleep together ... I'm not at home here, and it's troublesome if someone sees it."

"Yeah." Wendell looked sad, "You're tired of me now."

"There is no such thing!" And what's the description of getting bored! Shao Ci quickly said: "I'm just afraid that it will affect your reputation!"

"How come, I don't care about such things at all." Wendell sighed and reached out and gently touched Shao Ci's hair. "When you were away from me, I couldn't do anything every day. Take a good rest and close your eyes and think of where you might be in danger ... "

Shao Ci: "..." Suddenly felt a little guilty.

Although I usually look at Wendell's omnipotence, he is the kind of holy father, after all, he must be worried for a long time ... Think about it this way, Shao Ci thinks that Wendell is not easy.

"So, that's fine." Shao Ci finally stared at those blue eyes with a bit of melancholy, and finally said, "Let's sleep together ..."

It doesn't matter if you come here for a few years anyway!

…………

...

Shao was confused and had a strange dream.

It was in the dark night, he ran on the side of a city, as if he was running away from something to catch up, even if he was exhausted, he dared not stop.

There was no light around, and even the moon hid behind the dark clouds at this time, no one could see it no matter how far.

"Ha ha, ha ha ..." Shao Ci didn't know why he was so anxious, and it was already a dead end.

No, you ca n’t be caught ... you ca n’t look back, you will--

He grabbed the rough wall in front of him, trying to climb in vain. But for Shao Ci, who has not been physically strong, this is simply impossible.

But for a moment, the meaning of coldness had already risen from under his feet, and the cold almost soaked into the bone marrow, making people feel as if they had lost their strength.

"... I caught you." A chuckle sounded behind his ear.

…………

...

"——!" Shao Ci opened his eyes suddenly and felt his heart was still beating.

"Ha ha ... ha ha ..." Shao Ci sat up quickly, turned his head to see the bright light outside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was only a dream before. Shao Ci was relieved. I haven't had such a nightmare for a long time. Is it because of the stress of sleeping with Wendell yesterday?

Or is there any omen about the plot that follows.

Wendell walked in with breakfast. "Wake up? I thought you would sleep until noon as you like."

"I'm not always like that!" Shao Ci found his refutation very weak.

After changing clothes and eating breakfast, Shao Ci forgot about the nightmare he had made.

Count John enthusiastically invited a party to stay in Langton for a few more days, and experienced different customs, etc., of course, everyone would not refuse.

After the previous boat and car fatigue, who did not want to take a good rest for a few days, the other knights left the earl's mansion early in the morning, presumably to go to the city for recreation.

Wendel wanted to take Shao to go out for shopping. Shao was very interested in the city and followed him out excitedly.

I have to say that Langton City is indeed a bustling city, even a little bit more than Wang.

Wangdu does have a long history, but it's too old-fashioned. But the city in front of it is full of vigor and liveliness. The buildings are bright and beautiful, and it makes people feel a lot better.

On the commercial street, you can also see many businessmen who come from other countries, selling various strange items, attracting the attention of pedestrians coming and going.

Shao Ci felt very novel. Wendell next to him just looked at him gently. "Buy whatever you want." For him, nothing is too much money, as long as Shao Ci is happy.

After Shao Ci bought several things, he suddenly felt a tingling in his head. He originally thought it was a good relationship without rest, but the more he got tired, the more he walked away.

Wendell naturally discovered that Shao's words were not right. Immediately, he wanted to take Shao to go to the priest of the temple for treatment. Shao felt that he had no problem and quickly persuaded him. The last two people came to the fountain to rest aside.

Sitting on a bench by the fountain, Shao Ci's face finally improved a bit. He looked up at the pedestrians who came and went, and suddenly felt a little strange.

The city clearly looks normal and prosperous, but he vaguely feels that there is something wrong. It seems to feel vaguely where there is magic, but it disappears without a trace when you pay serious attention to it. .

"What the **** is ..." Shao Ci didn't have the mood to continue strolling anymore. Pulling Wendell, he wanted to return to the earl's mansion, but was surprised when he looked at the house in the nearby residential area halfway.

"What's wrong?" Wendell looked over worriedly and reached out and touched Shao's forehead. "Is it sick?"

"No, it isn't." Shao Ci shook his head and stared at the alley next to the residential area next to it ... This place is familiar.

But he was sure he had never been here.

Where did you see it in the end?

Suddenly, Shao Ci's body became stiff, he remembered the dream he had yesterday.

In the dream, he ran in the dark alley. Although he just hurriedly looked at the scenery next to him, the style of the buildings in the dream was exactly the same as the residential area in front of him.

It seems that the dream is not simple. It may be related to any monster ... Shao Ci immediately grabbed Wendell's hand, looked at the other side's eyes, and said palely, "I have something to say. Tell you. "

Doesn't this kind of thing tell the original man to solve it by himself? !!

Shao Ci doesn't want what happened in that dream to become a reality!

After hearing Shao's words, Wendell's expression became serious, and he put a small bottle of holy water in Shao's pocket, and then let Shao go back to rest, but left in a hurry.

Shao Ci felt relieved instantly. With Wendel, things should be resolved soon.

Wendel didn't return from the outside until the evening, his face was a bit ugly, and he immediately asked to see Count John.

Shao Ci certainly followed, and when they came to the study, the two saw Earl John who was obviously a lot older than before.

"Is there anything wrong for Lord Brave to come over?" Earl John's smile was obviously reluctant.

"I have found out." Wendell said: "Since six months ago, many strange incidents have occurred in Langton. Many of the originally healthy civilians suddenly lost consciousness. What is even stranger is that Such things are not known to many outsiders. "

Shao Ci: "...!" Sure enough, there is absolutely nothing to be solved in the rpg game.

"Ah." The count sighed. "This kind of thing really can't hide the brave."

Then Count John started the matter from the beginning. It turned out that from half a year ago, many civilians in Langton suddenly appeared unconscious and could no longer be sober. It was originally just one or two examples, but later it became more and more. .

After investigation, these civilians have become like this because they have been seriously attacked by magic.

Later, the earl let the priests of the temple take the shot to reduce such things a lot, but it could not completely cure them.

If this continues, everyone will be afraid to come to Langton City because of fear. This once bustling capital will also be silent. Earl John certainly does not want this to happen.

It happened that only those civilians were victims, but no such thing happened in high society. Earl John blocked the news by various means and concealed it.

Unexpectedly, the brave people came to Langton City. Earlier, Count John wanted to let them leave as soon as possible, but he had the idea that maybe the brave can solve this problem, so he warmly invited them to stay. , But the entanglement in his heart kept him from saying it.

Shao Ci: "..." Ah, feudal society really doesn't treat civilians as people ...

But it ’s really strange. If it is a ghost made by a monster, why are all the civilians in a coma, is that the monster in trouble is the target of deliberate selection?

"It seems to be tricky," Wendell said. "I believe you have found something, Earl."

"That's right." Count John nodded. "In the forest west of the city, there were suddenly a lot of monsters, and there seemed to be a very powerful monster controlling these low-level monsters. Many fell into a coma at first All of these civilians turned into hunting monsters when they went out to hunt. "

Shao Ci felt that he probably thought too much before. It is estimated that nobles would not go hunting in such dangerous places, so they avoided the danger.

"... Is it possible to solve the current problem by removing all these monsters?"

"Yes," Count John said. "It's just that these monsters are so powerful that the city's forces are not enough to eliminate them, and only the brave can kill them."

Shao Ci: "...!" He, is he?

Wendell said without changing his face: "Even if we have such a powerful monster, we will have to spend a lot of effort. I don't know what gratitude the earl is willing to give."

Shao Ci: "...?" Wendell actually agreed without the direct speaking of his Father?

Speaking of Wendell, though, he is not a blind Father, of course, he will not easily agree to this kind of thing.

Count John apparently wanted to deal with this matter quickly, and promised a commendable gratitude, and a high seal fee, it seems that he could not hide it.

Shao Ci estimates that these remunerations add up to a year of taxation in Langton City. Thinking about that amount, I feel like the whole person can't breathe. If there is so much money, it is a rhythm of getting rich overnight.

Out of the study, Wendell touched Shao Ci's hair, "Are you happy? These rewards will be given to you at that time."

"Give me?" Shao Ci stared at it in surprise.

"Of course it is." Wendell smiled. "This is a task that can only be received because of your brave name. Of course, things are yours."

Shao Ci: "But my strength is ..."

"It's okay," Wendell said softly. "I promised it because of you. In this case, of course, the compensation is yours."

Shao Ci wanted to refuse again, and Wendell cut his face, saying that he would be angry, and Shao Ci had to shut his mouth.

No wonder, obviously Wendell was not short of money. He just made this request ... Is it all for himself?

Shao Ci felt warmth flowing in his heart for a while, "But are you sure we can solve these monsters ..."

"Of course no problem," Wendell said calmly, "Even these monsters can be solved by me alone."

This sentence sounds a bit arrogant, but judging by Wendell's strength, it makes Shao Ci feel that he is just telling the truth.

What a reliable and dependable person! It is indeed the original man!

——

The next day, Wendell took Shao to the city.

The other knights were all very lazy, complaining in their hearts that Wendell would not allow them to enjoy in the city, and those who could touch the fish would touch the fish.

In fact, because the temple was not optimistic about Shao's speech, these knights originally came through the back door and followed them only for gold plating.

Wendell had never thought of relying on them. In fact, he had long wanted to find a chance to get rid of these people, so he has been letting them go.

This time too, Wendel took Shao directly and walked deep into the woods.

"You must take the holy water with you." Wendell instructed Shao, "This way you can persist even if you encounter a monster ... but do you really need to stay in the city?"

"I am also magical!" Shao said, "This is also a matter related to me. How can I stay in a safe place and wait."

He would be able to deal with ordinary monsters, even the most powerful monsters are a little troublesome, but there is nothing to fear from Wendel.

After entering the woods, things went smoothly unexpectedly.

After all, Wendell's strength is very strong, most of the monsters can be easily solved, and one or two he intentionally missed is also to exercise Shao Ci.

Soon the two came outside a cave. The magic here was several times stronger than in the woods. Standing alone made people feel a little weak.

Had it not been for Shao Ci's body with the bottle of holy water, he probably wouldn't be able to walk anymore ... but it would be impossible to go back to this place again.

"Just hold on." Wendel wiped the sweat off Shao's forehead, "It will be resolved soon."

"Huh!" Shao nodded.

When they entered the cave, what appeared in front of them were huge eggs, which were all burned by Wendel's face without changing his magic-in the face of such disgusting things, he didn't want to use his sword.

The most powerful monster in the hole is a scorpion monster, which is two people tall, with red eyes and a venom flowing from the thimble at the tail, which is difficult to deal with at first sight.

Wendell asked Shao to wait a while, but he put a few defensive magic on his body before he passed.

Shao Ci looked at it with a bit of worry, suddenly stepping on the air under his feet, and fell directly into the pit next to him when he did not know when, and the holy water bottle on his body rolled out.

"Oops!" Shao Ci quickly reached for his hand to get it, but felt a strong drowsiness. The sight in front of him had become a ghost. He blinked hard, but his eyelids were still very heavy.

... how can you fall asleep in such a place and definitely eat bento!

Shao Ci bit his finger firmly, sober for a few moments, and quickly used his last strength to get the holy water that fell beside him, but when he was about to come across, the entire person completely lost consciousness.

…………

...

Shao Ci opened his eyes in the midst of groggyness, and suddenly found himself in the dim city.

This is exactly the same situation as in the previous dream. He suddenly stood up and found that he was wearing only thin shirts and pants, and even bare feet.

"Is this really a dream?" Shao Ci's face was hard to look, "Can it be done with just a scorpion monster ..."

It always feels weird.

And suddenly there were several monsters crawling out of the darkness around them. Their bodies had no fixed form, only a pair of spooky eyes looked at Shao Ci.

There is nothing to be afraid of such a monster Shao Ci, and it hasn't been dealt with before.

But when Shao tried a few times and found that he was unable to use mental power and magic, his face turned white instantly.

This dream can actually restrain his mental strength, and now he is in trouble, he has no other means of defense! Hey!

Those monsters are getting closer to Shao Ci, and Shao Ci can almost feel the horror of them.

If caught, even in a dream ... it will die like this.

After realizing this, Shao Ci couldn't care less, and quickly ran towards the front without monsters.

These monsters are constantly produced as if there is no end, but they are extremely slow, and each time they seem to be chasing Shao's speech, but they cannot meet him.

This situation made Shao Ci more and more nervous, his body was cold and tired, and bare feet did not dare to stop even if they stepped on any sharp stones.

I don't know how long, his chest seems to be cracking, and the soles of his feet are dripping with blood. Even if he wants to give up, the coldness approaching his body stimulates him to stop.

In this way, it was as if the monster who controlled this dream was deliberately playing with him.

Yeah ... Shao Ci also knows. Generally, this villain will play with others like a cat and a mouse, and then he will give a break. I did not expect that he encountered such a thing so quickly!

"Abominable ... hah ... hmm ..." Shao Ci gasped continuously, his body was almost at the limit, and in this way, his ending was clearly doomed.

An accidentally stumbled to the ground, Shao Ci could not get up anyway, his body could not exert a little strength, and he could only lie on the ground and pant.

At this moment, Shao's speech had a violent and self-abandoning mentality, but the demons did not catch him as expected.

"Huh?" When Shao Ci was a little puzzled and wanted to lift it up to see the situation.

In his ear, footsteps sounded.
