Transcendent Noble

Bertina is a key player in Victor’s plan, and he has done his best to ensure Bell’s safety. In the battle of the temple, Victor was exhausted, and the dragon maids Mei Wen and Fu Ge Rui who participated in the battle were also greatly reduced in strength. It was not until more than ten days later that they regained their ability to transform into draconian. Therefore, Victor transferred the Dragon Maid Di Li to the top of the temple in advance to protect himself.

However, Victor arranged for Laila, the most powerful maid of the Red Dragon with individual battle strength, to follow Bertina. She is also in the team with amazing potential stupid big fellow Caligula, priest Dane who carries sacred relic crystals, Imerson wizard, silver-tier fierce warrior "Blood Python" Marcy, senior Dame Charlotte, ghost face Swordsman Todd, as well as the large alienated war beast Philip II, there are three Golden Dragon lizards, an unknown number of alchemy war mastiffs and bear dogs, more than a dozen sword-wielding maids and more than 80 homunculus types, of which Level 3 source blood militia occupy Most, but also includes 2 Level 5 source blood militias and 2 alchemy soldiers.

The strength of this team is relatively complete, with powerhouses at all levels. Even so, Victor still ordered them to stay away from the temple battlefield, and when Imerson completed the task of luring the Black Blood Sovereign, he immediately sneaked into the forest on the west side of the mountain range to search for settlements of descendants of the Assyrian Empire. And Victor took the three dragon maids to hide in the forest on the east side of the mountain range. He did not choose to join Charlotte’s team at the time, but wanted to draw the Queen Ant-Man and her minions away to prevent them from harming Berti. Na.

Now, the true identity of the Queen of Ant-Man is suspected to be the female mage of Alchemy Empire, Angelina. It disguised as a mournful Sovereign and had contact with Bertina's team in the underground tunnel of the temple. Bell's special identity should not be hidden from its eyes, and the various arrangements Victor had made before seemed insufficient. If he were the Queen of Ant-Man, he would definitely give priority to solving Bertina, who threatened him the most.

Victor suspects that he hasn’t spotted Ant-Man Scouts because the Queen of Ant-Man is concentrating on trying to track and hunt Bertina’s team.

However, Victor and Bertina are far apart, which is beyond the effective range of tracking intuition, but his spiritual connection with Dragon Maid Laila is not limited by distance. By sensing the location of Laila and her emotional state, Victor found that they were walking around in a certain forest to the west. The transfer speed was not very fast. They should be looking for settlements of descendants of the Assyrian Empire. The Queen of Ant-Man found out.

The spiritual connection with the Dragon Maid cannot convey complex information. Based on Laila’s current location, Victor estimated that it would take him 8 days to find them at the earliest, and had to cross the Azores mountain range in the middle. He was anxious to rendezvous with Bertina, and through his spiritual connection, he asked Laila to notify the team to wait for him near where he was.

However, Victor did not know that this was a mistake he made.

******************************

Azorta mountain range The primitive forest on the west side of the northern section.

In the woodland where the sunlight is hard to illuminate in spring, the water flow produced by the melting of snow and ice gathers in the low-lying areas, forming a large swamp of woods with unique scenery. Every day from the sun rises until the sun sets, the woodland swamp is filled with hazy water mist, and the quiet woods are like a layer of invisible white gauze, which looks strange and mysterious.

Bell ran and jumped in the swamp woodland with a short single ponytail, and his buckskin boots smashed into the calm water like a mirror one after another.

"Aka, do you think I look like Fairy in the forest." Bell stopped in a shallow water, stood on one toe and turned twice, ripples formed under her feet, she was fat Toot, the blushing little face faced Caligula behind him, and asked with crooked eyes.

"Bell, let's go back soon, it's terrifying here." Tall and strong Caligula curled his neck, his eyes were gazing west in the misty forest, and he said nervously.

Not getting the expected praise, Bell pursed his mouth, his eyes rolled round and round, and then raised a pair of small hands like ghost claws, and said in a gloomy tone: "I am the forest Banshee... card Ligula, if you don’t listen to me, I will let the ghost come to catch you..."

Aka’s courage is really not big, but his strength lies there, so how could Bell’s grimace scare him? To him?

Instead of being frightened, he was amused by his friends, and said with a smirk: "I don't believe that Bell is Banshee... This forest is bad, very bad, very bad. The forest, let’s go back to the priest."

"Don’t go back, I want to find the daffodil. It has 6 petals. It opens during the day and closes at night. In fact, there is a dragonfly living in it. Little Fairy with wings, daffodils are her little house." Bertina glanced around and said to Caligula.

Aka thought for a while, and yelled: "Oh, is that the flower fairy that little dwarf Bobo said? Mrs. Charlotte said that little dwarf brother loves to brag, and the flower fairy and the daffodil room are Bo The stories made by Boss are all fake and tricked the little child...Oh, I forgot, Bell is a little child."

Bertina was so angry that she stomped on her hips. He said: "What little dwarf? Bobo and Tiantian are halflings. Aka is a big idiot, calling halflings a little dwarf... Also, I'm not a little child, I'm 22 years old this year, even this Can’t remember? So Aka is a big idiot."

At this moment, the cry of a bear dog was heard in the distance, and the sword-wielding maid who was in charge of looking after Bell came and persuaded: "Miss Bertina , The hunting team is back. We went out for a morning and we should go back to the camp for lunch."

The flower fairy who lives in the daffodil room is obviously not as attractive to Bell as lunch. She and Aka cheered at the same time. Run in the direction of the camp.

The maid holding a sword blew the sound of birds with a whistle, and a dozen fully armed warriors emerged from the nearby woods, chasing Bertina and Caligula, and leaving this woodland swamp.

The camp of the expeditionary force is located in a higher position in the forest. It is a camp, rather than a temporary resident. The accompanying craftsmen used tree branches to build more than a dozen simple shacks for the core members and the maids holding swords. Other soldiers and war beasts rested in the open air.

The squad that went hunting brought back some wild herbs, edible plant rhizomes and a few wild beasts for today’s lunch. Aka happily accepted the task of cooking lunch. Just when Bell was doing him a disservice, the core members of the expeditionary army gathered around Charlotte to discuss some issues.

Actually, this discussion was initiated by the ghost face Swordsman Todd. Although he is mediocre, he is meticulous, deep-minded, low-key but shrewd and capable, and he can always get to the point of the problem by occasionally offering opinions. Commander Mrs. Charlotte has regarded Todd as her assistant to his staff and has given enough attention to this discussion. Except for the two live treasures in the team, one big and one small, the other core members have been summoned by Charlotte.

Charlotte saw that everyone was here, so she instructed: "Todd, you can start now."

Retracted his gaze from Caligula, Todd Turned around and bowed to Charlotte, "Yes, Mrs. Charlotte. I think this forest is a bit strange, we should leave here as soon as possible. But I can't come up with any factual evidence for your reference."

After a short silence, Pastor Dane shook his head and said, "Todd, this is not your style... Intuition is left to the violent warrior, and Commander Knight is responsible for judging and assessing the danger. Now that you have asked to leave The suggestions here always have their own discoveries, right?"

If a ferocious warrior only makes decisions based on his own intuition, then they are not as good as a ferocious wild beast. Only wisdom and reason are the advantages of human beings. . At this point, Knight's mind combined with the fierce warrior's intuition can often make the team turn peril into safety, turning defeat into victory.

Todd nodded said: "Your Excellency Dane is right, I am because of Akka’s recent abnormal performance. After carefully recalling the experience during this period, I found some suspicious conditions."

Charlotte glanced at Caligula not far away, and said softly: "Let’s talk about the first question first, why did you find Aka abnormal?" Todd said in a deep voice: " Akatha is always...uneasy, he seems to be able to perceive the danger we can't see."

Imerson interface said: "This is probably not abnormal...it is normal. Since we and Randal After the master separated, Aka kept yelling about danger, danger in front and danger in the back. He didn't feel safe. I remember that we just left the Azores Upper Maiden Society. Aka said that there is danger in the east of the forest. I The razor beast was sent to check, and only one wild bear that had been in hibernation was found... the razor beast killed the bear, and Aka said that the danger was relieved. I really don’t know why he thinks he is thin with Aka’s physique and strength. Will bears bring danger?"

The wizard paused and shook his head to say with a bitter smile: "Where is there no danger in the primitive forest? This way, Aka has never stopped worrying. If you refer to his dangerous intuition , We can't go anywhere? How to complete the search task that the master explained?"

Charlotte raised jade green's eyes and looked towards the only violent female warrior in the family, and asked: "Marcy, you Do you think there is a problem around here?"

The blood python Marcy is not what it used to be, she is no longer the former vagabond who shot Caligula to the dying vagabond, her vision and strength Increasing with each passing day, she also has the characteristic of being attentive and feminine. She frowned and shook the head, and said, "I don’t feel any danger nearby. However, Aka is special... I’m not good about other things, but In terms of the intuition of the fierce warrior, Akka is completely different from me. For example, if it can threaten me, I will perceive the danger. Like an ordinary wild beast, it will not trigger my dangerous intuition at all. Akka does not have this aspect. Restriction, he will react in advance to any possible attack."

Pastor Dane coughed and said in an interface: "Kali Gula is protected by our lord, and he has the power of a saint in his body. Gift. He can only be called a golden warrior by awakening the Holy Power. Usually, he is just a child with a pure heart, although he is very big..."

Marcy said solemnly:" Your Excellency Dane, we can’t deny the strength of Aka, just like Ms. Laila, she perceives danger, and it’s too late when we see it."

The level of perceived danger by Caligula. Cover ordinary pe From rson to the golden-ranked warrior, some sources of danger can be ignored, and some dangers may not necessarily be the category that the golden-ranked warrior can deal with.

Marsie takes the dragon maid, Laila, as an example, which is very convincing. She has never said that this thing is dangerous, but when she said it, everyone had better choose to run away immediately.

Imerson first glanced at Laila who was sleeping in the canopy. Seeing that she didn't care about the discussion here, he said with a little restraint: "With Ms. Laila here, we don't need to worry too much. Aka’s intuition...Well, even if Ms. Laila perceives the danger, we are not without the ability to resist. On the contrary, based on my experience of surviving in Great Swamp, we should now improve our strength to complete the task that the master explained. "

"I found a kind of social animals that resemble monkeys and cats in the forest in the vicinity. They are petite, but have fierce temperaments and hunt collectively. They are good at preying on Insects, lizards, and birds. , Can even hunt prey that are several times the size of them. The key point is that they are omnivores, and plants account for the majority of their food... Give me a period of time, I can breed a group of razor beasts that are more adapted to the alienation of the forest environment war beast, and I will keep them omnivorous and social."

Charlotte can't help being emotional and asked: "Your Excellency Imerson, how long will it take you?"

Imerson said triumphantly: "For ten days, at most ten days, I will breed as many alienated beasts as you can catch monkey cats. I have already figured out how to transform their soul form, and I just need to make a few adjustments. Able to master a set of breeding methods, and then follow this method to create more alienated beasts. Of course, ten days is to allow them to eat adequately and grow their bodies to the form of alienated war beasts. Their size should be only half of the razor beast. But their battle strength, especially the group battle strength, is definitely better than the razor beast!"

The alienated war beast only eats meat. If in the human kingdom, it would be a huge financial burden for the lord to raise the alienated war beast; and during the war, the alienated war beast would be a heavy logistical burden. Just like the forest environment where the Randal Expeditionary Army is located, the Imerson wizard can obviously produce a large number of razor beasts based on his spirit strength upper limit, but due to the limitation of meat supply, he now has only one Philip II and three razor beasts around him.

If what he said is true, the new alienated beasts are also omnivorous like the Golden Dragon lizard, the supply problem can be easily solved, the number of alienated beasts has also increased greatly, and it can be maintained at a stable level. The expeditionary army needs alienated beasts. Imerson doesn't have to rush to nurture them. Many emergencies are no longer urgent.

The omnivorous meaning of alienated beasts is far-reaching. The individual battle strength of alienated beasts is not so important. At least it will be of great help to the current situation of the expeditionary force. Searching the forest will be easier and greatly increase the team’s resistance risk. Ability.

Actually, Imerson didn't have this ability before. At first, he only infected the soul of the target animal. The alienation of the animal is completely uncontrollable. The only rule is that the shape and ability of alienated creatures are in line with the environment, which means that not all alienated creatures are strong enough. Just like alienated beasts only eat mice in a castle, how can it have battle strength comparable to Knight?

Imerson has lived in the lizard swamp for more than ten years, trying to figure out witchcraft skills by himself, and only came up with a stable breeding method for the razor beast this. Later, he was led by Randal, and Victor provided various resources, and accumulated a lot of practical experience through cultivating bear dogs, red bisons and swiftbirds.

However, these experiences have not been transformed into systematic knowledge.

Since Imerson’s Philip III was absorbed by the Black Blood Sovereign, he himself was injured, but in the process of wise guidance, he interacted with the Black Blood Sovereign lawfully, the experience he had accumulated before It finally caused a qualitative change and helped him break through the barrier and enter a brand new realm.

Charlotte pays attention to the practical application of the new type of alienation war beast; Imerson pays attention to his academic level; Pastor Dane has a completely different feeling.

When he was treating Imerson, he noticed that the opponent's magic power increased greatly. The key is that he confidently proposed a reproducible method to breed omnivorous alienated beasts. This is called the spell model!

Imerson can create his own spell model, and he finally looks like a legendary wizard.

Ghost Swordsman Todd didn’t think so far. He stood on the situation in front of him and said, “The situation in this forest is not quite right. Aka always feels that there is danger nearby, but he doesn’t know the source of the danger. I took people in the vicinity and searched repeatedly, but I didn’t find a particularly powerful monster. Today, Marcy and I walked again along the way we came, and we found changes in the signs left by the team. "

Charlotte's eyes shrank slightly, and a cautious expression appeared on her beautiful face. Before she could ask, Todd continued: "When we came, we were on an ancient tree. The mark left was scratched by the leopard. From the traces, it was that it was grinding its claws with the trunk to destroy the mark. In the second location, the mark buried under a low Willow Tree was gone, and it was a hibernating head. The awakened bear shaved off the roots of the dwarf Willow Tree and rummaged underground for worms. The third mark was intact, but that location was far away from us, not in this woodland swamp."

Charlotte groaned and said: "The expeditionary army has even encountered undying creatures and demons. Even if the secret signpost we left is accidentally destroyed by the wild beast, we can't treat these things as coincidences... Todd, Marcy, You did good."

She turned her head and looked towards the priest and asked: "Your Excellency Dane, I noticed that since entering this woodland swamp, Aka likes to stay by your side, and he is right What are you talking about, there is Nether Soul here?"

Dane’s expression became serious, nodded said solemnly: "Caligula has a very special relationship with the saints of the church. Of course I value his Views and perceptions. I have carefully observed the surroundings with true vision, but I have not found any traces of evil."

The atmosphere of the conversation has gradually become heavier, which also affects Imerson’s emotions. No discovery may be more than discovery. Oops, he thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "The master told us to leave the Azores mountain range as soon as possible. That's because the undying creatures of Azores will wake up after the ice melts. We did leave before the temperature warmed up. The scope of activities of undying creatures. In theory, the descendants of the Assyrian Empire are impossible too far from the mountain range of Azores, and they are also impossible to live near the undying creatures. It is difficult to find settlements of Assyrian descendants in the endless forest. It's hard, simple and simple... The Assyrian descendants who live in communities can't live without water. I use wisdom to guide the witchcraft to control the birds and search along the river in the forest, but I can't find the activity of the Assyrian descendants? Now it seems that this is not our bad luck..."

wizard paused, smiling reluctantly said: "Everyone knows that Bell has always had good luck. "

Charlotte stood up lightly, condensed his eyes, and observed the surrounding environment. The swamp in the woods, the shadows of the trees in the faint water mist, a bow of shallow water and no waves seemed to be bright. The mirror reflects the reflection of the trees. The scenery is so beautiful and weird, as if two worlds overlap here.

"Victor and I said that endless forests are conscious. "Charlotte sighed softly, faintly said.

"The endless forest is conscious? "Marcy walked to Charlotte's side and asked curiously. As the forwards of the expeditionary force, she and Todd were not with Victor most of the time. They had never heard of Victor's words.

Charlotte thought of her lover, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and explained: "The truth is clear, but it is actually very simple... outsiders will break the natural balance of an area, just like every time we arrive A forest needs to be hunted and collected, and it conflicts with the original inhabitants and causes damage. For this kind of destruction, the endless forest chooses to assimilate or reject outsiders, first of all to weaken outsiders... You can't expect the forest to send prey, fruits, and wild vegetables to us. In barren places, where food is scarce, we have to spend a lot of energy and time to find resources; in rich places, we have to fight against powerful aboriginal inhabitants. The forest weakens us with conflict, hunger, thirst, and exhaustion, so we have to choose a place to live. In this way, the endless forest assimilated outsiders, turning them into the original inhabitants of the forest, or the nutrients of the forest. "

She shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "In fact, we are already very tired...Because of fear of encountering a strong enemy, I chose the path of relatively scarce resources. We only have enough food for two days. Almost all of Lord Imerson's razor beasts were fed to Philip II. In addition to the difficulty of supply, we have been unable to find a settlement of Assyrian descendants, and I did feel mental fatigue. "

This kind of pressure, everyone in the team has. Except alchemy creatures, but they can't solve the problem. They can only go hungry when they should go hungry.

Imerson was silent for a moment. , Sighed: "It's fine if the master is here. "

Charlotte gently shook the head, holding the sword hilt and said: "The forest consciousness reminds me of a saying believed by the Assyrians, all things have spirits... what we are encountering now The situation may be related to the descendants of the Assyrian Empire. Don't forget, they are the original inhabitants of the endless forest, if there is no special means, they would have been extinct. "

Todd took a step forward and leaned forward and asked: "Madam, do you think our current position is close to the descendants of the Assyrian Empire?" "

Charlotte glanced at him and taught, "Todd, don't just think about completing the task." At least, I will not by fair means or foul, at the expense of companions to perform the tasks assigned by the master. "

His Royal Highness Randal's oath, Dame, is beautiful, and Todd doesn't believe it at all. However, it is the privilege of the superior to speak beautiful words. Mrs. Charlotte's words and deeds represent the master, and Todd can only unfathomable mystery. With a black pot on his back, he bowed and said, "To De will follow Madam's teachings. "

Charlotte smiled slightly and said: "The situation is unknown now, I decided to leave this forest first. "

"Don't go! "

The dragon maid Laila jumped from the top of the tree to the front of the crowd, her ruby-like eyes filled with joy, and said arrogantly: "My king ordered us to wait for him here. "

Charlotte was extremely surprised and eagerly asked: "His Royal Highness is coming? When will he arrive? "

Laila lifted her chin, cocked her mouth and said, "In about ten days, my king will find us." "

Imerson wizard slapped his hands vigorously, and said excitedly: "Very good, I have to hurry up and cultivate a large number of omnivorous alienated beasts for the owner to drive. "

Charlotte smiled brightly and nodded, and said: "Okay, we will camp and rest on the spot, gather resources, cultivate alienated war beasts, carefully investigate the situation nearby, and wait for the host's arrival. "
