Volume 1 Omen of the Moon Chapter 18 The Scarlet Pupil

Opening his eyes, Mu En felt like he was back in a somewhat familiar room.

On the bed next to him, Karna was sleeping on.

"Uhh......h A few punches to the chest are nothing in comparison.

"Are you awake?" Karna had not been asleep soundly, and when he heard his voice, he opened his eyes, and when he got up, he rubbed his stomach, and it seemed that he had not recovered well.

"I didn't expect you to advance as easily as buying potatoes on the street, it's terrifying. But if such a strong thunderbolt were to slash directly at you, you would also die, right?"

Mu En pinched the back of her neck so that the pain could share the pain.

"Even if you don't get hacked to death, you almost stab you to death. Muen rolled her eyes at him.

"I can't help it, he's too strong to beat him. ”

"Okay, let me see your true strength, if you can't beat him, you're going to kill your teammates?" Mu En sneered.

Karna also rolled his eyes and said, "His physical ability and circuit strength are higher than mine, and it's good to be able to hold him down for so long." And I thought I could stab him to death. ”

Mu En put on a "I think you're a fool" expression.

"Even if you can stab him to death, I'll still be stabbed to death if I'm in a straight line with him. ”

"Okay, okay, isn't it not dead, don't dwell on this issue. Karna waved his hand to stop.

"Are we in the heart of the moon now?" Mu En asked as she looked at the layout of the room.

"Yes, we were saved by Elizabeth and Daphne, and then there was no good way but to go back first. ”

Mu En frowned.

"Wouldn't it be back in Monroe's surveillance again?"

Karna shook his head and said, "I don't feel like I'm being spied on anymore, and I don't think he dares to go overboard." Besides, if your identity is really revealed, he won't dare to move. ”

"I won't have to go out of the tower when my identity is revealed. The rules of the division cannot be overwhelming. ”

"Brother, let's kill three people in a row, the nature is even worse, okay?"

"Speaking of which, I don't think you have a reaction to such a thing as killing. Mu En sat up, looked at Karna, and pinched in a different place by the way.

Karna shrugged indifferently.

"There is a river in my hometown, and legend has it that it goes straight to the underworld, so they will put the dead on rafts and go down the river, and they will get used to seeing too much. And aren't you all right?"

"I fainted. ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and Muen had difficulty moving, so he asked Karna, who was in a slightly better condition, to answer the door.

"How's your two resting?" said Elizabeth with concern.

"It's okay, but looking at Mu En's appearance, it shouldn't be easy to understand. Karna moved the door out of the way and let the two girls in.

Elizabeth walked in and glared at Karna.

"Why are you thinking I can't help if someone is following us and still breaking us apart?" she thought to herself, if she hadn't been attracted by the dazzling thunder, she might still be looking for Karna everywhere.

"Isn't that afraid that you will be hurt, and Karna also has good intentions. Muen helped to make a round and smiled at Elizabeth.

"How did you bring down that thunderbolt?"

Mu En smiled, "How is it possible, a life-saving gadget can only be used once, and there will be no such good thing after that." ”

See through it, don't say it, low-key, low-key.

A few people chatted casually like this, and Mu En realized that he had been in a coma for a day and a night.

He decided to get some medicine just in case, so it wasn't until the third day that the group set off again.

"I hope I don't run into any moths this time. Karna still felt uncomfortable in his abdomen, probably with some soft tissue contusion.

"I'm fine, you're a hunchback. Mu En looked at Karna, who was always bent over, and sighed.

"That's because you're too short for him to hit your stomach!" Karna was indignant, and then with a hard belly, his waist bent even lower.

The four of them walked along the edge of the forest, so they didn't encounter any beasts. Three days later, they came to the village that had been attacked.

"It looks peaceful. Karna stepped out of the forest and looked into the distance.

Just as the meal was served, smoke rose from the village, and a dog spotted Muen and the others and barked at them.

"Stew you again!" Karna shouted at the dog.

After a while, several villagers in the prime of life came out of the house, holding farm tools and inferior weapons.

"Who are you?" asked one of them.

Elizabeth stepped forward to them and said, "We are adventurers who have been commissioned by you, and I want to meet your village chief. ”

"Adventurer, what's the use of being so young! This place is dangerous, so hurry home. ”

"I don't know if it's useful, and I won't take your money if it's useless, and I'll make a profit without a loss." Karna chuckled behind him.

But the man clearly did not believe them, and still did not lay down his arms, but told them to hurry home.

"Hey, don't look down on people so much, we're geniuses from the Thunder Kungunir and the Water Xuancen Academy. Karna raised his hand and threw a thunder spear into the sky, and then exploded in the sky above the village with a thunderbolt, looking very powerful.

Mu En stood aside and didn't speak, he could sense that most of these villagers were people who hadn't practiced magic much, and even if they released magic pressure, they couldn't deter each other.

When the two sides were arguing, a middle-aged man in plain brocade walked out, his eyebrows were sharp, and he looked quite majestic.

"I'm the village chief. Are you adventurers? I didn't expect to be so young and promising. But this kid ...... Looks a little too small. He noticed Muen.

Mu En was a little helpless, as if he would be paid special attention to him wherever he went, because he was too young.

"But he's the one with the highest concentration of mana among you...... Incredible. The village chief looked at Mu En a few times, and it seemed that this was a person who had seen the world.

Mu En nodded slightly to him as a sign of education.

"My name is Karen, come with me. ”

"Strength doesn't allow you to keep a low profile. Karna chuckled as he walked past Muen.

Arriving at the village chief's office, Karen briefed the group on the current situation in the village.

About half a year ago, the goblins suddenly appeared around the village. At first, it was just petty theft, and the stolen things were just insignificant small portions of grain. But gradually, the situation began to escalate, and they began to steal livestock, cattle and sheep under the protection of night. Lately, the villagers have been able to see them occasionally during the day, and although the goblins dare not approach them rashly, everyone sees and hates their greedy eyes.

"We had a makeshift team to investigate, but we didn't find much, just that there were a lot fewer animals in the forest, and I think the goblins had eaten them. Our village is on the edge of the province, not wealthy, and not able to offer a bounty that is attractive enough," sighed Karen the village chief.

"Does that mean that the actual difficulty of the mission is higher than the bounty level?" asked Daphne suddenly.

Karen nodded and said, "I'm afraid so." ”

Karna sighed about his girlfriend's ability to take on tasks, but he didn't dare to name them, just said dirty words. Mu En, who was next to him, patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he still had to pay attention to quality in front of his girlfriend.

"Judging from the current information of Mr. Village Chief, how many goblins are there in total?" Mu En asked.

"When they first came, there were probably more than twenty of them, I don't know the specifics, but they always acted in groups of nearly ten, and the highest combat power known so far was only a high-level mage, and they had only seen one. ”

"Do they still come to rob and steal at night?"

"That's right. ”

Mu En nodded, "Then please sir find us a place to stay, my partners need to rest." We'll be on duty at night. ”

"No problem, if you don't dislike it, just live in my house. ”

After that, Mu En surveyed the terrain around the village and planned to draw a defensive development, but found that the amount of work was too large for him to handle, so he had to give up. However, according to Karen's description, he set up traps in several frequently attacked places.

"I haven't seen a living goblin yet. After making the preparations, Muen returned to her lodgings and communicated with her companion, who couldn't sleep at all.

"Me too. Karna lay on the bed, seemingly trying to fall asleep.

"We've seen it, it's ugly, and it's grayish-white skin, and it looks disgusting. The two girls were surprised to see a real goblin.

"Gray-white? I saw that the book said that goblins have many different skin tones depending on their race. And they are small because they live in the crypt, and they ......" Muen began to memorize the dictionary.

Karna hurriedly grabbed the iron gun and patted him gently: "Okay encyclopedia, stop the meeting first, let me sleep, and wait for you to point to the corpse and explain to me at night that it will be more convenient for me to remember." ”

Speaking of corpses, the two girls frowned a little, and when they arrived that day, they saw three corpses of different appearances, except for the one who had been shot through the heart by Karna, who had died neatly, the remaining two corpses were very twisted and looked very uncomfortable.

At night, Karna and Muen hide in the branches of a tree, leaving two girls who use water magic to ambush underneath.

Every night there are more than a dozen villagers patrolling, and today they deliberately avoided a certain direction, and in that gap, there were three cows as bait.

The trap circle had already been laid underground, and the two girls were also there, just waiting for these goblins to throw themselves into the net.

Mu En knew that goblins had a keen sense of smell, so he deliberately asked the villagers to smoke the area around the village with some pungent plants in the evening, so as to swap the relationship between light and dark between the two sides.

"How long do we have to stay here?" said Karna, who was afraid to move in a certain canopy, afraid of making a sound, in a low voice.

"When they came. ”

"If you don't come, won't you stay here until you die?"

"Less nonsense. ”

The battle plan was for Elizabeth and Devany to hold on to the villagers' property and try to consume as much as possible to attack the enemy, while Muen and Karna outflanked them from the rear, forming a flank attack from the front and rear. But remember not to kill them all, at least one or two must be released, and then the two of them who are good at speed will be responsible for tracking down their lair and ending it down.

"When the time comes, you'll drink this, it will strengthen your sense of smell. Muen handed a vial of lilac potion to Karna.

"Are there any side effects?"

"Will be blind temporarily. ”

Karna turned his head to look at Muen, and there seemed to be a big question mark on it.

"It's not a permanent side effect, there's no sequelae, it's just that you're blind for 10 seconds. Mu En said with relief.

"Then why don't you drink it yourself?"

"By the way, I remember the day you helped you make potions, you said you were going to invite me to dinner in the evening?"

"Okay, I'll drink it, I'll drink it. ”

Aren't the so-called good friends hurting each other and using each other as tools?

"The potion takes effect about the third minute after drinking, and lasts about ten minutes in total. Be mindful of the timing. Mu En instructed.

Dusk faded out, twilight fell, and the stars in the sky appeared above the sky.

Who would have thought that under such a beautiful scenery, there would be so many chickens and dogs?

Karen had told them before she set out that the goblins didn't come every day, but based on their actions, it was highly likely that they would come tonight.

The evening breeze rustled the leaves, and it was so noisy that it was impossible to tell if the goblins had arrived.

The village chief, Karen, is a middle-aged magician, with poor qualifications, and because of the structure of the circuit, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go to the next level in this life, which is also the common ceiling of Atlantean civilians.

Sub-elves are actually more human-like in many ways, and the upper limit of their talents is extremely uneven. If it is a real elf, the upper limit of everyone's growth can at least reach the Grand Magister, so the Magus is not something that cannot be counted on.

Karen sits in the village to prevent casualties.

As time ticked by, Karna had let his guard down a little, and he leaned against the trunk of the tree to take a break. Although the torches in the village have not decreased, in fact, many of the people stationed in the village have left one after another, nearly half.

This is Karne's proposal.

In the village, the lights in Karen's office were still on, and he frowned, keeping an eye on every movement.

Mu En, who was in the canopy, also had a little drum in his heart, secretly wondering if it would be possible to be discovered, or if it was just because of the smoke, they chose to stand still, if this was the case, the vigilance of this group of goblins was beyond Mu En's imagination.

"What the book says may not be all right...... "Mu En watched the driving below through the leaves from time to time, but the scenery was hazy, and there was no more to discover.

I stayed up until the second half of the night.

There was a sudden tremor in the bushes that were being squeezed away, and the dead leaves on the ground made a cracking sound.

Mu En shook Karna awake and said, "Cheer up, the guest is here." ”

Karna was already pretending to sleep, and with a slight shake he immediately came to his senses.

He took out the potion and asked Mu En with his eyes, and Mu En shook his head and signaled that he didn't need it yet.

The comers were divided into three ways, but if there was no shelter from the leaves, Mu En could clearly see that the other two roads were just feints, and the real target was the three cows that seemed to be weakly defended.

At this time, Mu En heard the sound of the villagers fighting with Mu En, and from time to time there was a light surging up, which meant that a goblin had broken into the preset trap circle.

But Elizabeth still didn't give a signal, so Muen and Karna remained still.

After a few more minutes, the signal mine was detonated, and Muen and Karna jumped directly from the branch without the slightest hesitation.

One rolled on the spot to unload the impact, and Mu En told Karna to retain his strength, and then rushed towards the trap circle.

The trap glowed blue, and the goblins inside were mostly trapped by three or four, and at least one or two, and they urged their magic to escape but to little avail.

Of course, the price is that most of the source stones on Muen's bracelet have been reduced.

Mu En drew his long sword and stabbed a child in the cage who was about the same height as himself.

At this time, there were goblins outside who wanted to attack Mu En, how could Mu En let him succeed, and turned around and stabbed the sneak attacker in the heart.

However, although the goblins do not have high magic power and intelligence, after all, they are still creatures that live in the wild all year round, and their short bodies hide a power that Mu En never expected. So Mu En didn't hide it, but he was still knocked out by the residual impact of the corpse.

The residual pain of the forcibly expanded magic circuit on his back did not disappear, and Mu En slid on the sand and gravel again, and the feeling of different pains appearing in one place at the same time made Mu En grin and almost curse her mother in pain.

On the other side, Karna deliberately slowed down the speed in his hand, and after stabbing the two goblins in the cage, he spun around his body a few times with an iron spear, forcing back the three goblins who wanted to sneak attack, and then they were entangled together, because Karna showed weakness as an enemy and did not use magic power, and it seemed that the fight was inseparable.

With no enemies left around him, Muen began to try to quietly sense the strength of his magic, trying to find the goblin that Karen said had the level of a high-level mage.

"Found you!" Muen's longsword slashed a dazzling cyan lightning in the night sky.

This is a new technique that Mu En can only perform after being promoted to a magician, and in addition to the basic blue thunder and thunder spear in "Instant Seclusion", Mu En's first technique that can be used - "Green Beast Thunder Fang".

After the release, Muen fell to his knees.

The lightning burst through the air to the goblin lying in ambush in the bushes.

The goblin screamed, and layers of magical barriers appeared in front of him, but they were still pierced by the thunder fangs. But he didn't die

"Karna!" Muen called out Karna's name, reminding him that the target had been found, and there was no need to hide his strength for fear of scaring the goblins away.

The red lightning burst out in an instant, and the gun shot like a dragon and killed the three dwarfs in front of him in an instant, and then also stood in place and gasped loudly.

"These goblins are green-skinned, and they look like the snot they used when they are sick, and it's disgusting. Seeing that there were no more enemies around, Karna uncorked the bottle and drank the potion.

"The inferior species of the green elves, they were originally the only elves who could directly drive life, but unfortunately they were extinct. The surviving offspring have become like this, not only ugly, but also forgotten this ability. Mu En got up from the ground, he had just pretended to be the goblin, making him feel that he would not pursue.

All magic can't induce life, which is why there are no wood mages. Aside from the fact that the elves share their lives with nature when they die, only the extinct greenland elves possess this kind of anti-heaven power. In addition, no matter how strong a magician is, he can only control the movement of the roots or branches of the tree.

"But this group of villagers is quite capable, and the two of us just solved the two goblins in the trap and ended the battle. By this time Karna had already drunk the potion, and after three minutes he hissed, "Damn, I'm really blind." ”

"Can you smell it?" said Muen, walking up to him.

"The smell here is so messy, we'll have to chase it out. Ten seconds later, Karna opened his eyes, and his vision had been restored.

"Let's go, then. ”

Billowing smoke and dust were left behind where the two had stood.

Ten minutes later.

"I can't smell it anymore, I didn't expect him to run so fast. Karna landed in the woodland, frowning and looking around.

"It doesn't matter, our ten-minute path would take an average person an hour. Their lair should be nearby, so search around. ”

A few rays of mournful moonlight shone through the leaves, and the soft sound of the wind seemed to whisper to someone.

"No wonder it's called the Twilight Forest, and it sings at night. Karna teased.

The two searched among the trees for traces of escapees, but found nothing.

"Do you have a second vial?" Karna felt that this was not a way to go on, so he could only hope for Muen.

Mu En shook his head and said, "I didn't expect to use such a medicine before I came out, and there are no materials in the village, so it is already the limit to be able to refine a bottle." ”

"No, how can a goblin run so fast?" Karna looked up, only to notice that many scarlet eyes had appeared in the canopy of the trees at some point.
