Would Alice kill someone who admired and liked herself for these things?

The answer was yes, because Rurik didn't get into her heart, and even if she killed him, it would only kill someone she didn't like, without the slightest qualms.

It has nothing to do with what kind of feelings Rurik has, it's just that.

"Okay, I said. ”

It is based on this cognition, and it is through Alice's eyes that he understands the content contained in it, that Rurik sighs helplessly and chooses to compromise.

Rurik was confident that even if his opponent was Alice, he could successfully escape, but even if he did, his people would die in the wrath of a legendary mage, and the entire tribe would be wiped off the map.

It's not the first time Alice has used such a familiar technique, most of the time when negotiating, she likes to do it on someone else's territory, and it is estimated that this is also the reason, using this, most of the time she can get an advantage at the negotiation table.

What Rurik tells Alice can be said to be beyond Alice's expectations, but it makes sense that Death is now indeed chasing the legendary druids who fled from him in the Ross steppe.

Although in a sense, the strength of death is higher than that of those legendary druids, but a legend who is bent on escaping is also not so easy to be caught and killed like this, not to mention that these druids are experts in using the environment, and they can drive wild beasts, no matter where they are, they can turn that place into their home turf.

There is only so much information that Rurik can give, and through Rurik's observations, Alice knows that the other party did not lie to her, and did not hide some information and did not tell her.

"My previous proposal is still valid, you can think about it again. ”

After leaving this sentence, Alice's figure had disappeared into the tent.

"Phantom?"

Muttering in a low voice, Rurik got up from his seat, walked to the place where Alice was standing just now, and carefully observed, and finally determined that what appeared here just now was only a phantom of Alice, a phantom whose strength had reached the legend, and he did not find a flaw in such a close situation.

Once again, marveling at Alice's methods, Rurik sat back in his seat, this time really considering what Alice had offered.

The other party did not give him the right to choose, and he did not think that death could survive the hands of that woman, and when things went to such a bad stage, there was essentially no other choice.

Not to mention Rurik, who was in a tangled mood, Alice, who had obtained the information about the death, left here without looking back, without the slightest nostalgia.

Rurik and the Novgorodians were a very useful pawn for the Baltic Empire, and no matter what their mood was, whether it was gratitude or resentment, there was nothing left between the two sides that remained pure interest.

As for the rulers who put their personal feelings above the tribal race, they are either tyrants or poisoners, but unfortunately neither the former nor the latter, Rurik is not.

The Ross steppe is so named because of the large area of grassland, but this does not mean that there is no other terrain here than grassland.

Forests also occupy a large area, and some mountains and wetland swamps are interspersed with each other, contributing to the biodiversity of the land.

Shortly after leaving the Novgorod camp, Alice was still at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and she did not feel that the forest was white, and occasionally she could hear the howls of wild beasts from inside.

The howl of the beast sounds like this, those who have wisdom and strength are not just druids who can serve, and of course you can't try, but the result is likely to be swallowed by those big guys who are not very good-tempered.

Other examples are not easy to mention, let's talk about the green dragons who like to live in the forest, they have always had an insoluble conflict with the druids, if the druids dare to appear in front of them, then what awaits them is often the end of being corroded by acid.

Well, in addition to the Green Dragon, the other powerful guys in the Russ Steppe are now also in a kind of hostility, or further hatred, towards the Druids.

This is a very natural thing, although the druids recruited those are weak and unintelligent beasts, but the disappearance of those beasts also means that the strong people at the top of the food chain cannot find food to eat.

Originally, it was better to say that those who had stored inventory could continue to hold on, but those who did not have inventory were miserable, and they had to give up their previous territory and go to other places to find food, and to other places meant that they had to fight with the lords of that place, and to win everything naturally is easy to say, and if they lose, they are likely to lose everything and become the food of the victors, or die with a body of injuries in some corner of the world.

Based on this theory, there must be no trace of the druid's stay in the place where the beast's roar appears, and without the trace of the druid, death will not waste time staying here.

I have to say that the large amount of cannon fodder obtained by these druids has indeed enhanced their combat effectiveness to a certain extent, but from another aspect, it will also expose their traces at once.

Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, they can't understand, and they haven't learned, gnawing the grass on the edge of the rabbit's nest will only make the predators outside find the rabbit's nest at once, and the nest will be wiped out.

After leaving the forest, this is the case in the wetlands that are about to reach the grasslands, where crocodiles, poisonous snakes, piranhas, and all kinds of poisonous insects, which are often found in wetland swamps, have disappeared.

Like a light flickering in the night, it tells the druid's enemies that the druid is in the vicinity of the wetland, and is likely to be hidden in the center of the wetland.

Sure enough, after walking towards the center of the wetland for about an hour, Alice encountered several attacks, crocodiles disguised as dead wood hidden in the swamp, and venomous snakes that looked like tree roots, all of which attacked Alice.

It's just an ordinary beast, and it doesn't have extraordinary or magical power on its body, so it dares to attack Alice who exudes an inhuman aura all over his body, and if these crocodiles and poisonous snakes are okay, it is simply an insult to Alice's intelligence.

However, I have to say that those druids still have a little brain, whether it is a crocodile or a poisonous snake, there is no information about the druids in their brains, it looks like they have seen their prey and hunted according to the instinct of the beast.

The outer defenses are crocodiles and poisonous snakes, and when they get closer, they encounter swamp lizards, about five meters long, which is considered a big guy in the swamp.

Seeing Alice's appearance, it spit out the letter and carefully observed, not choosing to attack it at the first time, but carefully observing the girl in front of it with a cautious attitude.

The terrible horror is hard to resist, and it is impossible to escape

In just a few seconds of observation, such a judgment flashed through the swamp lizard's mind, and the girl in front of him, who looked like a human, gave it a feeling that was even more terrifying than those black dragons living in the swamp.

Unlike the vipers and crocodiles that have been completely turned into druid slaves, the swamp lizard retains a certain amount of intelligence and basic judgment, even if it is also forcibly drafted.

The thought of turning and running away, wanting to turn and run away, kept echoing in his mind, and the druid's command turned into a piece of wastepaper and was thrown into the wastebasket at this moment.

However, unable to move, unable to move, the body that wanted to turn around seemed to be imprisoned in place, no matter how much the brain gave the order to urge, there was no response, giving the swamp lizard the illusion that its body had disappeared.

Is it the magic on the other side, or is it the loss of control caused by too much fear? The swamp lizard didn't know what the reason was, but that didn't stop it from sending a message of begging for mercy to Alice through its eyes.

"Oh, do you surrender then? It seems that you are different from those beasts who only know how to attack. ”

Alice smiled and said, she untied the magic that had imprisoned the swamp lizard, and looked up at the monstrous beast, second only to the black dragon in an environment like the swamp.

Although it is called a lizard, this creature looks like a wyvern without wings and a long neck, and its dull scales are the same color as the swampy land on the ground, which is probably the origin of its name.

This monster has only ordinary intelligence, not yet an intelligent life, and can understand simple language and communicate simply, but cannot go further and communicate in complexities.

If measured by human intelligence, this swamp lizard has the intelligence of about a three-year-old human, and does not have a complete worldview, outlook on life and values.

"Where is the druid?"

There is no turning around, it is still so straightforward, such a straight point, Alice asked like this swamp lizard.

Then she patted her head with her little hand, forgetting that swamp lizards can't speak, and can't communicate in lingua franca.

"Forget it, you can take me to the druids, it's quicker. ”

Alice instructed that it was one thing to find the druids faster, and on the other hand, to intercept the druids before they left and moved.

The swamp lizard nodded with its head down, then lay down.

"No, you lead the way. ”

Alice shook her head with a smirk, and refused the swamp lizard's flattery, because the swamp lizard's scales and undried dirt would stain Alice's clothes, which was still too unbearable for a certain girl with a cleanliness fetish.

Hearing this, the swamp lizard quickly turned around and headed in the direction it came, the reason why it appeared here was also because it received an order from the druid, and came here to deal with the enemy who killed the crocodile and the viper.

Of course, if the enemy's strength can't even solve a magical beast like the swamp lizard, which is second only to the black dragon, then it can also be fought for a period of time to create an opportunity for the druid's retreat to be transferred.

However, what the druids never expected was that the people who came here were actually strong people who could not even buy time for the swamp lizards, and could not even give birth to the idea of fighting, and created a legend in the north, and the people feared the girl who was named "Calamity".

What the druids didn't expect was that the swamp lizards would choose to surrender so cleanly, betray them, and take Alice to find them.

The few defenses arranged in the back were directly bypassed by Alice, and did not affect her forward pace, well, at least reduced the possibility of Alice being discovered, and those druids chose to flee because of fear.

After about an hour of walking, the humidity in the air became thick and filled with a rotting stench, which is the smell of rotting branches and leaves in the swamp area for thousands of years, and the reason why most creatures do not like to enter the swamp.

To move in such air is to risk poisoning, after all, other creatures can't breathe such poisonous air like swamp lizards without any problems.

As the humidity rises, the soil becomes softer and more difficult to judge, and if you think it's a good place to stay, it's like stepping into a trap and you'll never forget it.

It is not just the land that has changed, in which the low bushes and grasses have disappeared in favor of tall trees, most of which only appear in long-standing forests.

However, in such an environment, Alice felt that several creatures were incompatible with such an environment, even if they pretended to be very in tune with the surrounding environment, but those slight differences were still difficult to hide.

It's intelligent life, only intelligent life can give Alice such a feeling, and the intelligent life encountered here, needless to say, is only those druids who are scattered and perform guerrilla tactics in the Rus's steppe in small groups.

"Hey, why did you come back?

A girl's voice suddenly came into Alice's ears, and the voice carried a message that was difficult to hide, probably still happy that the swamp lizard appeared here and the intruder was eliminated.

At least they could be sure of the fact that the invaders weren't the monster called Death, riding a blue horse after their lives.
