tail

On the wilderness, knife marks and frost are constantly colliding and intertwining, and the two figures of Dakko and VitB12 are also moving rapidly all the time. Both sides have a powerful offensive that can kill the other side, a good defense against the next attack, and a speed of rapid movement and spatial transfer.

VitB12 seized an opportunity for Darko to cast a spell to close the distance, and the long knife swept in like a black ray, slashing down with a low howling wind. Darko was caught off guard and was immediately hit, and the ice armor on his body was suddenly shattered into dots of crystal, and his whole body was also beaten back again and again by this power.

VitB12 broke through Darko's defensive magic with a tilt of the sky, and was about to continue the attack, but saw that Darko had decisively given up the half-chanted spell, and a flash spell disappeared. After the first lap of the VitB12 ring, it was discovered that Daktronics had appeared in another direction 100 meters away.

VitB12 was about to catch up again, and a large area of cold air was already surging around Dakko, and a blizzard was about to be released. VitB12 was close to being immune to the Ice Moon Technique and the Ice Pick Technique, but he didn't dare to resist this level of magic, and hurriedly escaped with Shadow Yue. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Darko cast another spell on himself to prevent VitB12's sudden attack.

Between the two of them, they went all the way in the wilderness, sometimes VitB12 chased Darko, and sometimes the two stopped and fought for a while. Although their movements were irregular, they generally kept around the area of Sally's village of Belu for dozens of kilometers.

Since Darko was promoted to the highest, he hadn't fought VitB12 once, and when he was in the Adamantite Prison, he was shackled and unable to do his best, and his spatial spells were limited in the jungle labyrinth, so he couldn't use his full strength. Until now, VitB12 had not healed from his injuries in the battle with the dragon, but Dakko was able to fight with all his might.

Gradually, it turned out that this situation had evolved, and for several days both sides were cautious, and no one could kill anyone. Darko is not slow to regenerate mana, and he also has a reserve of extremely effective mana enchantments, and his mana is twice as fast as that of a mage of the same level. But VitB12 is like a tireless alchemy machine, and his physical strength has never been exhausted, and Dakko really wants to take VitB12 apart to see if he is a real person.

The reason why Darko is no longer afraid of VitB12 is because as his understanding of the spatial laws of the Mercury plane deepens, the distance of the flash is getting farther and farther, and the chase is enough to exhaust VitB12. For ordinary high-level magicians, the flash technique will drain all mana in just one time, which is equivalent to putting oneself in danger. But Darko is different, he has an enchantment with extreme mana, which can flash twice in succession. It was for this reason that VitB12 was unable to take advantage of his flashing opportunity to approach and kill him explosively.

And Darko will not let his mana bottom out easily, and always retains a flash of mana. Flashing is a short-range, fixed-point movement that is very different from a random teleportation that moves instantaneously. Teleporting is equivalent to escaping, completely away from the original battlefield, while flashing is shorter, and can continue to attack after moving. One is a strategic shift and the other is a tactical one, which is a big difference.

But Darko can't just run away, and he keeps circling around the neighborhood in order to protect Sally's village. If VitB12 can't catch up with him, it is very likely that the village will find out about its relationship with Darko, and then Sally's village will be out of luck. So he fights with VitB12 from time to time, also so that VitB12 doesn't pay attention to his purpose.

In the wilderness, Darko and VitB12 once again became a chase-and-run situation, because Dacko found that more than two dozen ragged people were approaching Sally's village a few kilometers away, so he desperately withstood VitB12's blow, and used two flashes in a row to escape from the battlefield.

Ten minutes later, Darko had already rushed to the periphery of the group of people, he didn't bother to ask the other party, and directly after a snowstorm, the group of people had been wiped out. He then turned in the other direction, ready to wait for his mana to regain and continue the battle with VitB12.

Soon after Darko left, a person dressed as a mercenary quietly walked out of the hiding place about a kilometer away from the group of people, and said to himself, "Sure enough, someone is sheltering Beilu Village, hmph! But in the end, it is just one person, as long as a few more teams approach Beilu Village from different directions, he will have no choice!"

"You've found out, it's just a piece of adamantite ore, is it that attractive?" a voice suddenly came out of the shadows beside him, startling the mercenary.

"Leave your life behind, and you're good to go. A black sword shadow magnified in the mercenary's sight, and this was the last image he saw.

VitB12's arrogant figure stepped out of the shadows, looked at the village a few kilometers away, and sighed, "It's hard to protect yourself, and you have time to protect others?" ”

Before they knew it, it had been more than a month since Darko and VitB12 walked out of the jungle labyrinth, and the two of them had spent their time chasing and fleeing as usual, occasionally passing around Sally's village, and those blind people or monsters had become the ghosts of the two of them. Sally's small village is also thriving, and as Sally continues to repair and improve, more and more elemental water is produced by the Water Source Magic Circle, which is enough to irrigate the plants on the terraces.

Such a settlement with a water source magic array is a small village with only middle-level samurai, and it is naturally coveted by the surrounding forces. In just over a month, Daktros killed more than a dozen batches of more than 300 people, and even VitB12 easily killed a lot of unscrupulous people.

For this reason, Darko deliberately set up an irregular escape route for himself, which seems to be irregular, but in fact can pass through several surrounding villages and towns in about ten days, in order to gather intelligence. And around Sally's small village, deal with some of the rioters. Of course, Darko can't keep it like this forever, even if he has so much time, he is afraid that VitB12 will find out about it. According to Darko's idea, after a while, the rioters will find out that this small village cannot be messed with, and then he can leave.

A few dozen kilometers behind Darko and VitB12, a group of men dressed in fiery red robes or armor are finding some of the latest traces under a large tree. One of the followers was holding a crystal ball that showed a very accurate map, on which the route of the Daktronics and VitB12 had been marked almost identically. Apparently the hunter on the team who was good at tracking, he marked the latest location, and an almost complete semicircle appeared on the map. There are several places on this map that are marked with red crosses, and the scarlet is very striking.

"They've definitely spotted us, cunning fellows, who want to take us around in circles. With a sneer on his neck, he glanced at the hunter and asked, "Is your method of hiding your tracks reliable?"

"Lord Allah, apart from some powerful bloodline abilities, no one should be able to detect our tracking. The hunter said these insincere words, but his eyes looked at the carriage not far away, his meaning was obvious, there was such a conspicuous carriage, the other party could not find it strange.

Allah was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but he also knew that there was no point in blaming a high-ranking hunter, there was no substitute for him, and higher-level hunters could not come due to the upper limit of the power of the Mercury plane.

At this point, Norman, the heavy swordsman, spoke, "If this guy really wants to go around with us, I hope you can give him a big enough surprise." ”

In the ornate carriage, the boy jumped out of it, and he also looked at the hunter and asked with a little dissatisfaction, "Can't we be faster?"

The hunter was studying the traces left on the ground, and when he heard the young man's inquiry, he hurriedly got up and said, "Go back to the young master, you can't be faster." The traces left by both of them are very scarce, and now we can only rely on tracing the traces of their battles. That's because luckily there hasn't been any extreme weather in the area lately, otherwise a passing tornado would wipe everything out. Looking at the time of this trace, it is estimated that the distance between us and the two of them is less than ten kilometers. If we go a little faster, we can get into the distance of the scattered outflanking. ”

The hunter was afraid that if the carriage had not delayed them, they would have caught up with their prey, and he would never have said that.

Norman looked at the time for a moment, then gave the order, "Rest in place for 30 minutes, and then continue tracking the prey." ”

The servants set up the alchemy equipment and equipped it with magic crystals, then removed the food from the incubator and heated it. They have been tracking like this for more than a month, and these servants are already exhausted, but they have not slackened in their movements, which shows that they are well-trained.

At this time, Darko and VitB12 chased and fled, and had reached a mountain range three kilometers north of the village of Beru. VitB12 caught up with Darko on the mountain road, and the distance between the two was less than 30 meters, but they did not immediately start the battle as usual, but tacitly looked at each other from such a safe distance.

"Did you spot that too?" Darko glanced at VitB12 and then looked down the cliff. The trail they were on now faced a canyon below, the same path they had taken.

"Don't forget what my real name ability is. VitB12 pointed to his eyes, his tracking ability was very useful even in spotting the stalker behind him, "It's you, how did you find out that we have a tail behind us?"

"My ice talent is very high, and it is relatively sensitive to the concentration of the fire element, if someone else is following me, I may not be able to detect it, but this tail behind it seems to be from the Flame Church. Dakko didn't hide it, and told his guesses and discusses.

Daktronics and VitB12 chased and escaped all the way, so that Daktronics also had strong insight and anti-tracking capabilities, and found anomalies after a period of time. Because he had to go around the village of Beru, Darko would sometimes go around a large circle and then retrace the path he had traveled, so he noticed an anomaly. And those who followed them also deliberately hid their traces, but VitB12's real name ability and Daktronics' sensitivity to the fire element could not be easily fooled.

"Flame Church?" VitB12 had a strange look on his face, but not fear but curiosity, "Is it because of the Adamantite Prison?" ”

"Now where we are is in the realm of the Flame Church, it is not impossible for them to find it. Darko didn't care about the stall, "Besides, whatever its purpose, if you catch up, just kill it." ”

"Don't take the enemy lightly, although you have been running around that small village irregularly for more than a month, the route is also erratic, and the hunters who can track us down must have very professional hunters. So in the team that tracks us, there must be strong people of various professions, if you are not vigilant, you don't have to wait for me to kill you, you will be killed. ”

"Don't worry, my life is very hard, and I won't be killed easily. Darko was still unconvinced, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

During this period of pursuit, escape and fighting, the communication between Dacko and VitB12 gradually increased, and the killing intent gradually faded. And in this case, since there are people behind them, they naturally become a common enemy.

VitB12 has already regarded Daktronics as its own taboo, and does not allow anyone other than itself to kill Daktronics, so it is only natural that they are prepared to reflexively kill the tracker first. Dakko didn't want to be picked up by the trackers, and it would be too embarrassing if he worked hard to kill VitB12 and was profited by the trackers behind him.

After a while, a group of centaurs appeared in the distant wasteland. The group, all dressed in fiery red robes or armor, was well-armed and well-organized. In the center of the procession is a magnificent carriage, and the red background gold pattern on the carriage marks its extraordinary.

"Red...... Sure enough, it's the people of the Flame Church, it must be because you demolished the Adamantite Prison. Darko looked at VitB12 in disgust.

"The Church of Flames, indeed. VitB12 shrugged his shoulders, "Don't just talk about me, you also have a share in the Adamantite Prison matter." If you had been killed by me in the first place, I wouldn't have been idle to get rid of a prison. ”

Darko didn't bother to argue with VitB12, the two of them had taunted and argued with each other too many times in the past few months, and each time it was a dead end. Dacko condemned the indiscriminate murderous VitB12 from a humanitarian perspective, and VitB12 considered himself to be the enforcer of the will of the law and was orthodox. Darko also agrees with VitB12's statement in his heart, after all, there are many people who want to kill him, and instead of counting the enemies until he can't remember them clearly, it is better to blame all the mistakes of the derivative law. However, at this time, Darko will selectively forget, and the construction of his own real name is also involved in the law of Shura.

"But why did they still have a wagon? It didn't look like a tracking procession. Darko muttered strangely, "Could it be some powerful alchemy machine, ready to be used against us?"

VitB12 shook his head and pointed to the carriage, "The carriage of that carriage is very luxurious, and judging from the previous situation, the rut marks are not deep, obviously it is not a heavy object, it is more likely to carry people." ”

"The key question now is, how are we going to deal with them? Their team of more than thirty people is actually all high-level professionals, but they are not ordinary mobs, maybe they are still the elite of the Flame Church, so they are not easy to deal with. "Dakko despised his opponent strategically at the beginning, but now that he sees the opponent, he immediately takes it seriously as if he were facing a great enemy.

"They can't catch up with us. VitB12 analyzes it truthfully.

"Oh, yes, they still have carriages. Darko thought for a moment, but suddenly said, "No!"

Darko sighed in his heart, he had been circling large and small circles around the village of Beru, and the Flame Church would inevitably discover this by following the route he had taken. If they can't catch up with them, they may be hit with Sally and them, and the small village will probably be in danger.

"Then fight, kill all these people, and you will be clean. ”

"But they are outnumbered......

"It's your own problem. VitB12 interrupted Darko, "You're the one who wants to protect that little village." ”

"You know everything?" Darko opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say, but finally nodded, "You're right, let's fight." ”

VitB12 just frowned, and then sighed after a while, "I'm going to kill some unrelated people again, I really regret taking your single task, and I lost a lot." ”

Darko was speechless for a while, feeling that VitB12 was not sad because he saw someone catching up, but because he was depressed because he had to kill someone outside the mission. It seems that although VitB12 is on the same level as Daktronic, he clearly has a strong mentality, and he is able to face difficulties more easily than Daktronics.

There was silence for a long time before Darko spoke, "Do you have to make money to kill people if you are a killer? ”

"You don't understand. VitB12 looked at Darko and shook his head, "When you're not in this business, of course it doesn't matter how many people you kill. However, once you become a killer, then every shot is a sacrifice of your own skills. If there is no cash in the account, the skills you have paid will not generate value, that is, you will devalue your professional skills. ”

Darko opened his mouth, a little difficult to accept such an idea for a moment, but he felt that he had heard something similar somewhere. After thinking for a while, it dawned on me, "I have a friend who is an inscriptionist, and he also has a similar idea as you, and he thinks that the magic scroll he copied must be sold in order to show its value. ”

Darko thought that Orlando, although not killed by the Vitamin Guild, was also inseparable from VitK4, so he was depressed and stopped talking. But VitB12 suddenly asked Darko, "You're also an inscriptionist, right?"

"No, I'm just working part-time. Darko took out two scrolls from the spatial ring and threw them to VitB12, "Keep them for you to defend yourself." ”

VitB12 took the scroll and was speechless for a moment, feeling the mana fluctuations carefully, and he realized that these two were Frost Armor and Air Shield, respectively. Darko didn't give the attack class a scroll to prevent VitB12 from killing him with the scroll in turn. And Darko also knows very well that he can't kill VitB12, so it doesn't matter if he gives him two defensive scrolls, it is easier for VitB12 to attack with confidence when dealing with the Flame Church, and help Darko share some of the pressure.

These two scrolls VitB12 was directly accepted, he originally had a defensive scroll on his body, but he used it directly when resisting the elemental explosion in the mine, although there was a chance to replenish it during the period, but the inferior magic scrolls sold by the Mercury plane had poor defense and he disdained to use them, so he just used these two as a supplement. Moreover, the Frost Armor and Air Shield can be stacked with each other, and the defense is even more impressive.

"In that case, let's wrap it up here. VitB12 rubbed his foot on the ground. Below is a valley with ridges jutting out from both sides to choke the path up the mountain, making it a narrow passage suitable for ambushes.

"That's very good. Darko looked at the valley beneath his feet, his eyes flashing dangerously, "You want to be a tail after me, but you have to pay some price!"

Neither VitB12 nor Darko realized that the relationship between the two of them had become delicate since they were forced to join forces against Dragonclaw in the jungle labyrinth. If it was in the past, VitB12 would never care if there was a tail in the back, and it would be the right thing to kill Dakko first. But now VitB12 offered to join forces, and Daktronics did not resist and agreed without much thought. It's like two lone travelers on the way, deciding to go along.
