Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Eyes of the Arcane and the Orcs
Of the four, three were dressed as warriors, wearing chain mail and wielding long swords, while the other was dressed in loose cloth robes and holding an intricately carved wooden staff in his hand, which looked like a mage.
As the rarest and most powerful type of person in the entire continent, this mage inherited the common problems of all his peers, he looked at the three mercenaries in front of him with a kind of arrogance, and when he saw Vera in leather armor with a sexy and sultry figure, a trace of lust clearly flashed in his eyes.
Kordaq noticed the mage's gaze, he frowned, and the evaluation of these four people in his heart immediately lowered a few points, but he did not have a seizure on this occasion, after all, it is absolutely unwise to easily offend a mage.
"Hello, brave mercenary. We're on duty from the Mystic Eyes Society, and we saw the smoke here and thought something might be wrong, so we rushed over. One of the warriors said after saluting Kordak and the others.
"It turns out that we are friends of the Arcane Eyes, and we are members of the Mercenary Alliance. Kordak returned the favor.
"With all due respect, may I ask you, were you just giving a funeral to your companion?" the warrior asked again.
"Yes, it was unfortunate that my companion was attacked by the orcs in the forest, and he fought valiantly, and finally died a glorious death. A look of sadness flashed across Kordak's face.
"I'm sorry for what happened to you. The warrior took off his helmet in mourning: "Our duty team also received an order from the headquarters to come to the Nightsong Forest to eliminate the orcs. ”
"What?"
"Yes, a few days ago we had a site near the Nightsong Forest that was destroyed. Evidence from the scene indicated that all of this was the work of the orcs, and then the headquarters received news that the Orcs were in the Nightsong Forest. So we were sent here to clean up the orcs. Of course, with the strength of a few of us, we can only be responsible for reconnaissance, and the clearance work will naturally be done by other large forces. The warrior explained.
The news of the destruction of the site had already spread in Meteor City, and although it was not a big deal, it was clear that the Eyes of the Secret Law, as one of the four major forces in the Eastern Continent, could not tolerate any provocation, even if it was an alien race.
So this group of mages with eyes above the top sent their own duty team to sweep the Nightsong Forest aside.
In fact, the orcs sent five squads to the Nightsong Forest, and Vera and they only encountered one of them.
Thinking of this, Kordak and the others couldn't help but be a little afraid, if it wasn't for the meticulous cleaning of the forest by the duty team, Kordak's earth-shattering roar on the night of the full moon might attract another group of orcs, which must be something that Vera and Regner couldn't handle.
"I see, if you had come here a few days earlier, I don't think my companion would have died. Kordak's eyes darkened, but he also knew that they were not to blame for Selenos' death, and after knowing the purpose of the duty team's visit, his hostility towards the four Mystic Eyes had diminished a little.
"The orcs here should have been cleaned up by our team, but please be careful in the forest. Because the night before we heard the earth-shattering roar of the monster, it sounded like a werewolf, but because it had little to do with the orcs, we ignored it. The warrior enthusiastically reminded.
"Oh, yes? Hehe, thanks for the reminder. Kordak looked at Vera and Regnar, who looked a little strange, and then asked, "Have you captured the orc captives?" ”
"Unfortunately, these orcs are so stubborn and terrible that we don't have the strength to catch them alive, so we don't know why they're here. The warrior shook his head.
"Well, no matter what, thank you for everything you've done in the Nightsong Forest. We've done our job, and now we're going back to the business. Kordak saw that the mage kept glancing at Vera and knew that something might happen if he stayed any longer, so he prepared to leave as soon as possible.
"I ......" the mage was about to say something, but suddenly his body shook, and he swallowed the words again, and he looked at the warrior who was speaking, but found that he seemed to be completely unaware of himself.
"Okay, I think we're going to stay here for two more days, so we'll leave it at that, and I wish you all the best of luck. The warrior nodded.
Kordak and the warrior waved their hands and turned away with Regner and Vera.
"Gouran, we're going back even though we've already completed our mission, why don't we let them join us?" the mage said to the warrior who had just spoken to Kordak, still with a hint of arrogance.
"Idiot!" Although he was a warrior, Gu Lan did not show enough respect when facing this mage, and even seemed very rude: "Don't think I don't know your thoughts, with them? I'm afraid you're taking a fancy to the woman in their squad, right?"
"So what? It's rare to see the best, and it's worth anything if you can catch her on the way!" the mage's face flushed slightly, and it was clear that Güran's rudeness had made him a little angry.
"Is it worth more than your life?" asked Gulan coldly.
"What do you say, it's an honor to be favored by the mage, what does it have to do with my life?" the mage reaffirmed his identity.
"Put away your pitiful glory, if it weren't for your low ability, how could you be assigned to a place like the duty team to run errands. Mage? ”
Gu Lan felt great disdain for his superiority as a mage, and he continued, "If you weren't blind, you should have seen the events of the night before before, and you should know what that tall man had drunk, a third-rate mage. Although his own strength is weaker than mine, it is a different matter if you count the outrageous recovery ability, and besides, there is no need for the three of us to fight hard because of your trivial desire. If you really provoke them, then face their anger alone!Actually, I wonder if you, as the pride of the sky, are you capable of facing the three of them?"
"You!" the mage was furious by Gülan's undisguised humiliation, his face turned the color of pig liver, but there was nothing he could do about it.
As Gu Lan said, if it weren't for his humble skills, how could he be sent to the duty team? A low-level mage may be precious in other places, but in the Eyes of the Secret Law, he can undoubtedly only be a low-level role.
"It's not funny, is it? You could give me a bite to give me when I'm charging, but I want you to kill me, or I'll make you worse than dead!" said Guran viciously, and to be honest, it was nice to be able to humiliate a mage under his feet, and then he turned to the other warrior and said, "Check the details of that man when you go back." ”
Gulan was not the strongest figure in their squad, but he was the most thoughtful in the squad, and the reason why he dared to humiliate this mage so unscrupulously was because he held the handle of this mage. And now, he felt as if he had found another piece of very useful information.
......
"You say they might know you've taken Moonfall?" Vera was a little surprised.
After confirming that he had completely freed himself from the Arcane Eyes Foursome, Kordak also voiced his fears to his companions.
"They rushed over this morning when they saw the smoke from the burning, so how could they have listened to the roar of the night before yesterday and not be indifferent? The soldier just now deliberately talked about the events of the night before in order to make sure that the movement that night was not caused by me, but I did not expect that I did not react at that time, I am afraid that he will see the flaw this time. Kordaq smiled wryly.
"So what? I think you're pretty normal except for the scary day of the full moon, boss. Regner was a little unimpressed, thinking that it would not be a big deal for Cordak to drink the Fall of the Moon.
"Maybe you won't care, but there's no guarantee that the people of Falling Star City won't care, and will they be able to accept it when they know that the guy living next to them may turn into a bloodthirsty monster?" Kordak asked.
"......" Regner couldn't answer, in fact, he also felt a little uneasy with Kordak in the past two days, although he completely trusted Kordak, but Kordak's performance on the night of the full moon did make him feel terrified.
"And what exactly are they for?" said Vera, worried about Kordak.
Kordak showed a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I've seen the badges on their clothes, and it's true that the eyes of the arcane are not wrong." I consider myself a figure in the mercenary world of Meteor City, but it would be unsatisfactory for a terrifying organization like the Eyes of the Arcane to go to the trouble of dealing with me. ”
When he said this, Kordaq glanced at Regner, intentionally or unintentionally, there is no doubt that Regner will be inseparable from the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild in the future, so will the Mystic Eyes use themselves to threaten Ragnar and then make a fuss about the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild? It doesn't seem to make sense if you think about it carefully......
"I guess it was just an accidental discovery. Kordak thought about it for a long time, and finally could only come to this conclusion.
"Boss, do you want me to find a chance to kill them? Ragner suddenly pulled out his dagger and said with a fierce look in his eyes, to be honest, after killing the four orcs, his confidence was a little bursting. He had noticed it when the mage had looked at Vera with a squinting gaze, and now he knew that the warrior was holding the handle of Kordark, which made Regner's opinion of the arcane eyes a lot worse in an instant. So he thinks it's time for him to show off the abilities of a powerful thief and kill four humans.
Both Kordak and Vera looked at Regna with some surprise on their faces.
"Little Thunder ......," Vera said and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Regner was puzzled.
"......" Kordak was silent for a moment, and after a while, he said to Regner seriously: "Little Ray, I thank you for your concern for me. However, this matter is far from the point of causing death, you think so...... Some are dangerous. ”
As soon as "Boss ......" was said by Kordak, Regner was also surprised that when did he start to judge the life and death of others so easily?
"It's easy to lose yourself in killing, I hope your eyes aren't blinded by blood, and I'll oversee you. Kordak said slowly, staring at Regner.
"Boss...... Thank you. ”
"It's not as serious as you think, let's go, let's go home. ”
