Chapter 65: Sentinel Carlo
Zhang Yao walked up to the four elves who were still alive and recognized one of them at a glance as Dinah, the granddaughter of the old village chief.
The four elves were all covered in blood, and Zhang Yao couldn't see their faces clearly from a distance.
He had been praying as he walked over that the slain elf was not Dinah.
"Thur!" Dinah recognized Zhang Yao at this time, and staggered to her feet and threw herself into his arms.
"Okay, okay, it's safe. Zhang Yao softly comforted the overly frightened elf girl.
"I thought...... I thought...... I'll never see you again. Dinah couldn't stop crying.
Zhang Yao stroked her back and said softly, "It's okay, remember not to go so far next time." ”
"En"(╥_╥)Dinah snuggled into Zhang Yao's arms, her cheek pressed tightly against his chest.
Zhang Yao looked at his last piece of clothing that was stained by tears and snot, and felt helpless. He looked at the three elves beside him.
said, "Okay, everyone's safe." Hurry home!"
The three elves supported each other to their feet, bowed to Zhang Yao, and then sadly removed a small ornament from the dead elf.
When the elves die, they give their bodies back to the animals and forests that raised them, so they don't bury their dead companions.
Just move his body a little further away from those hateful slave hunters.
After doing all this, the three of them bowed slightly to Zhang Yao: "Thank you, dear Sentinel Suer." ”
Then he took his companion by his arms and walked towards the forest.
Zhang Yaomu watched the backs of the three disappear into the night, and then gently pushed Dinah away from his chest.
Now that so many people are dead here, he still needs to clean up a little.
Although these people will soon be cleaned up by the beasts in the forest if they don't care, Zhang Yao always feels that the current scene is a bit too bloody.
It doesn't match such a tranquil forest.
He carried the corpses of several slave hunters under a giant tree, and then, taking advantage of Dinah's inattention, carried all their valuables into his pocket.
He knew that sooner or later he would have to leave the forest and go to the outside world, where it would be difficult to walk without money.
After doing all this, Zhang Yao still pretended to half-kneel in front of those corpses, and whispered a few spells from the elves.
Although Zhang Yao didn't know what this spell meant, he guessed that it was something similar to the Death Spell.
After reciting the incantation, Zhang Yao withdrew the magic arrow that had fallen on the ground not far away, and then picked up Dinah on his back, preparing to return to his territory.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a faint sound from a huge tree not far from him.
Zhang Yao frowned slightly, and then shouted at the giant tree covered by darkness with a smiling face: "Carlo, you're late!"
"Haha, Sur, you've crossed the line. With a hearty laugh, an elven sentry dressed like Zhang Yao walked out of the darkness.
He held an elven sword in his right hand, but in his left hand was an empty sleeve fluttering with the night wind.
"Carlo, your hand ......," Zhang Yao looked at Carlo's severed left arm in surprise.
In Sur's memory, Carlo was a powerful and experienced senior sentry, but now he was a cripple.
"Haha. Carlo smiled heartily again, glanced at his broken arm and said, "It's just a few powerful guys, it's okay, but I won't be able to pull the bow in the future." ”
Although Carlo's laughter was hearty, Zhang Yao still heard a little sadness from it.
It is no wonder that the elven warriors are the famous archers of the mainland, and the first thing that comes to mind when the various ethnic groups on the mainland mention the elven clan is not their former glory, nor their magical magic, but the longbow in their hands.
Now Carlo has lost an arm, which means that he has lost his qualification as an archer.
Zhang Yao remembered that the last time Carlo met with Suer, he said that he would definitely become a great elven archer in the future and win the legend.
"Carlo......" Zhang Yao opened his mouth to comfort Carlo, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything.
He could only walk up to Carlo's side, pat him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Thank you, Sentry Carlo." ”
"Haha, who made me a sentinel. Carlo still smiled heartily.
That smile was just like Sur's memory, and it made people feel very grounded.
Carlo put away his sword and looked behind Zhang Yao, who had rushed over when he felt the alarm coming from the trees in the forest.
Originally, when he rushed over, he was still worried that he couldn't invade at the moment with his current appearance, but now that he saw Zhang Yao, his hanging heart also fell to the ground.
"Everything is settled?" asked Carlo at Zhang Yao.
"Well, it's all settled. But a compatriot died. Zhang Yao nodded, a trace of sadness on his face.
Carlo's face became solemn when he heard that a compatriot had died, and he walked past Zhang Yao's side to the dead elf.
The dead elf was an elven man who had just come of age, his head resting to his side, his childish face still in the panic of dying.
"Gemma~" Carlo whispered the elf's name.
It was a child in one of the five villages he guarded, who had just spent the first hundred years of his life a few years earlier, and Carlo remembered the adoring gaze of the newborn elf when he saw him.
"Carlo, I'm going to be a brave sentinel like you in the future!"
The energetic words still lingered in Carlo's ears, but the spirit who had uttered them had returned to the bosom of nature.
Carlo silently plucked his quiver, placed it beside Gemma, and said softly, "May the gods of nature bless you." ”
"May the gods of nature bless you. Zhang Yao also walked over with Dinah on his back, took out an arrow and placed it beside Gemma.
"Suer, thank you so much this time. Carlo said in a very soft voice. He knew that without Sur, he would not have been able to save these compatriots.
Even, he couldn't find this group of dark intruders at all.
"You taught me archery, and you don't need to say thank you. Zhang Yao said.
In Sur's memory, Carlo had unreservedly taught him his archery skills, and Carlo could be regarded as half of Sur's teacher.
"Haha, little Sur has grown up!" Carlo laughed heartily, stretched out his right hand to pat Zhang Yao's shoulder, but found that he was carrying Dinah on his back, so he could only gently slap his arm.
"Okay, hurry back to your territory, it's not very safe lately, protect the people. ”
"Well, you should be more careful, come to me if you have something. Zhang Yao nodded, and walked towards his territory with Dinah on his back.
Carlo looked at his back, a smile of relief on his face, and muttered, "You've really matured a lot. If I make it back to the royal court alive, I'll have a good drink of dwarven liquor with you. ”
As the moonlight fell, a blood-red flower slowly bloomed on the chest of Carlo's white shirt, and he snorted, covered his chest with his right hand, and staggered towards the forest.
Yesterday he encountered a group of well-armed and powerful intruders, and after a desperate struggle, he finally drove them out of the forest, but he himself was seriously wounded.
He didn't know how long he could hold out, he had already sent a message to the Elven Royal Court, and if he was in time, he might be able to hold out until the royal court's healing mage arrived.
Zhang Yao walked in the forest with Dina who had fallen asleep on his back, in fact, he had already discovered Carlo's physical condition, and also deduced the time of Carlo's injury from those wounds.
Sur died yesterday, and Carlo was seriously injured. And judging by the wounds, they may have encountered a wave of people.
They are all well-equipped and experienced mercenary squads.
"Looks like the elves' birthday is coming to an end. Zhang Yao was keenly aware of the unusual smell in these two intrusions.
But this has nothing to do with him, he came to this plane mainly to find things, supplemented by travel.
He didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of this plane, and it was this kind of thing that moved the course of history.
All he had to do now was fulfill Sur's last wish, and then use Sur's identity to travel to this plane and find Yao's body.
As for everything else, he wanted to be an outsider and not get involved.
A few hours later, Sur returned to the village, and he carried Dinah into the old chief's house.
At this time, the light was still shining in the old village chief's residence, proving that the old man had been waiting for them and had not rested.
"We're back. Zhang Yao pushed open the door and walked into the house.
The old village chief sat at the table, raised his head suddenly, and after seeing the person clearly, he stood up suddenly: "Suer! Dinah, you are back! Thank you to the god of nature! You have returned safely!"
The old village chief staggered in front of Zhang Yao, and two cloudy tears slipped out of his eyes.
"Grandpa, it was Sur who saved me. Dinah said weakly on Zhang Yao's back.
"Thank you, thank you, Suer!" the old village chief held Zhang Yao's hand tightly, and kept saying words of thanks in his mouth.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Zhang Yao unloaded Dinah onto the bed and took out two small bottles of wound medicine from his arms.
"Village chief, go find a girl to help Dinah with some medicine. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll go!" the old village chief hurried out.
He and Sur were both men, and it was obviously inappropriate to drug Dinah.
After the old village chief left, Zhang Yao helped Dinah lie on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, and then walked out of the house as well.
Although Dinah kept begging him to stay with her, Zhang Yao always felt embarrassed to be alone in the same room.
So he walked out anyway, but he didn't go far, and stood at the door, so that Dinah could see his back.
Soon, the old village chief returned with an elven woman. The elf woman said hello to Zhang Yao, and then walked into the house.
"Thank you so much, Sur. Outside the house, the old village chief continued to thank Zhang Yao.
"It's all up to me, Dinah isn't seriously injured, but she needs to rest for a while, and if you need help with anything at home in the future, just come to me." ”
"Thank you, you're a good boy, you're tired from a busy night, I'll find you a place to rest. The old village chief said.
"No, I'm going to patrol again. Zhang Yaowan rejected the kindness of the old village chief and left quickly.
He didn't want to have much to do with these elves, after all, the real Sur had returned to the arms of their nature gods. I'm just a traveler.
One day he was leaving, and he didn't want to leave too much emotion on this plane.
That would only add a bit of a tie to yourself.
Stepping into the night, Zhang Yao returned to Suer's treehouse, although his spirit was still very full, but Suer's body was a little tired.
Taking off the equipment and clothes on his body, Zhang Yao climbed into bed and fell asleep without even taking a shower.
Suer died of serious injuries yesterday, although the wounds on his body have healed a lot because of Zhang Yao, but the fatigue of this day still makes his body a little unbearable.
However, although his body was asleep, Zhang Yao's divine consciousness was still awake, and he released his powerful divine consciousness and enveloped the forest.
There are still five days left before the day of the changing of the guard, and in this last time he must protect the forest and fulfill Suer's last wish.
Then, he was going to do his own thing.
Time passed quickly, and Zhang Yao only felt that after a while, the sky would be bright.
With the sound of birds flapping their wings in the early morning, Zhang Yao slowly opened his eyes, he stretched his waist, and sat up with a yawn.
Then he looked at the clothes that he had taken off at random and threw on the floor last night.
Yesterday's day's rush, the clothes were already a little dirty, the elves are a race with a habit of cleanliness, and they will keep washing clothes and bathing every day as long as they have the conditions.
But Zhang Yao is a man from Earth, and although he has fused Suer's memories, he still feels very ...... about doing laundry every day Helpless.
"Seemingly...... I don't have any clothes to wear. ”
Zhang Yao picked up his clothes, sniffed it, and smelled a smell that was not very bad. He was silent for a moment, and finally put his clothes on.
It's dirty, but you can't go out naked, after all, you're a sentinel now. He's not a tramp.
However, considering what the other elves thought of Suer, Zhang Yao still hurriedly ate breakfast and ran towards the river.
Sur is dead, he can't take other people's bodies and ruin their reputations.
Walking to the river, Zhang Yao unloaded the equipment on his body, and then plunged into the river.
In this way, he not only washed his clothes, but also bathed them.
"I really admire myself!" Zhang Yao swam in the river and couldn't help but be narcissistic.
It's better to go out in wet clothes than to wear dirty clothes, and if asked, the most people can say is that they have taken a swim.
