"Whoa, whoa, whoa, ah~!"

The last goblin monster screamed and flew to the trunk of the tree, and Blackbeard shook the goblin blood from the stick in his hand and rubbed it against the snow.

"I say, Rod, why don't you look like you've grown a little?" Blackbeard spewed out a smoke ring and blew the beard at the corner of his mouth, and the fine beads of sweat on it had frozen crystals.

"You look at Jack, who is almost half the way to solving the problem alone. Blackbeard clenched his left hand into a thumbs up and pointed at Jack with a thumbs up.

Not far away, Jack stuck his sword on the ground, surrounded by goblin corpses.

This is a raiding team of goblins, hunting, robbing humans, and getting food to survive this winter.

"You have to forgive me, after all, I am too talented to be a real magician, just a theoretical magician. Rhodes wiped the dirty snow from his face, and in the midst of the battle, Jack knocked him away to protect an arrow that was fired at him.

"Alright, Blackbeard, I said you can't ask me to be like Jack, after all, I was just a dragon. "Rhodes activated the fire spell and made a few fires.

One of the guards filled the pot with some snow, melted it into water, and put it on the volcano to boil. The guards formed around the fire, and Rhodes and Jack Blackbeard gathered around a fire.

"During this time, I have encountered more and more monsters. Blackbeard said.

Jack sat down by the fire and said with a solemn face. "Blackbeard, how far are we from Montenegro?"

Blackbeard took a big puff of his cigarette, frowned, looked at the fire with a puzzled look, and after a while exhaled a long string of white smoke, "I've calculated, and after passing through a town in the middle to replenish, it will take about five days to arrive." ”

Five days?

Rod looked at the guards around him, since leaving that weird village, Rod has not been alone again, nor has he encountered anything weird, but along the way, there are fewer and fewer people, and there are more and more monsters.

At first, it was just a few weak monsters, and the guards could solve them, but later the monsters became more and more powerful and fierce, so that Blackbeard, Jack, and Rhodes had to take action. And the guards are also in many encounters with monsters, and there are fewer and fewer of them.

The weather was very cold, and the guards were not in good spirits, and even a little sluggish. After all, there are fewer and fewer companions around, and this is not yet to Montenegro, and they can still return to the Edwin family alive? Whether this journey will be alive or dead is still unknown.

"The weather is going to warm up soon, and the New Year is just a few days away. Guard A was whispering.

"Well, my old fellow, I said we would go home and have another drink. That damn tailed wolf, I'll ......" Guard B took a sip of hot water, his eyes were red, and he didn't know if it was hot or smoky.

"My dear is still waiting for me at home, and when the young master arrives in Montenegro, we will go back, and we will definitely be able to go back. Guard C encouraged his teammates next to him and said confidently.

"Damn. Jack angrily threw a piece of firewood into the fire.

"Well, Jack, I know what you're thinking, but it's not our fault, we...... We did our best. Rod patted Jack on the shoulder and said.

"If only I had been stronger, if I had been stronger. Jack slammed his fist to the ground, making a deep punch mark.

"Okay, Jack, you've grown up too, and some things are inevitable, like death. Blackbeard flipped the bottle in his hand, frowned sadly, and threw it away, "Like this last bottle of wine." ”

"Why can't it be avoided, knowing that they, knowing that they can also survive, just because I want to escape, escape the Holy See, so, so they died for me. Jack took a hard bite of the jerky in his hand and chewed slowly, very hard. During this period of experience, Jack has long been accustomed to such food, and there is no young master's shelf at all.

Rhodes didn't know what to say, he thought it might be better not to speak now, the other day watching the captain of the guard and the tailed wolf injured in the battle, bleeding too much and dying, everyone's hearts were uncomfortable.

Blackbeard's beard moved, and his head and hands shook anxiously, as if trying to explain something, and finally he only spat out a sentence.

"People will eventually die. ”

Blackbeard also looked very depressed, like a child who had made a mistake, just bowing his head and smoking cigarette after puff.

"I went to training. Jack walked to a thick tree trunk not far away, and slashed with his sword, earnestly and attentively.

"You know, Jack is just too kind at heart. Rod poured a cup of hot water for Blackbeard.

Blackbeard took the cup and didn't drink it, just looked at Rod. In just a few years, this little guy has changed from a dragon who beats him every day, to a garden administrator, to a deputy director of the library, and now a good friend of the young master, and even now, comforting him Blackbeard. All this, as if dreamy, Blackbeard raised his glass, bowed slightly, whispered "thank you", and drank the water.

"Smack!" the stout tree fell, provoking the surrounding guards.

The stout tree next to Jack was cut by Jack with countless deep sword marks. Jack stuck his sword in the tree and lay against the trunk, his chest rising and falling, looking at the sky and not knowing what he was thinking.

"The detection was successful, and the strength level was close to the critical point of the battle division level. ”

Boy!

Rod was secretly frightened, since he came out of the door, Jack's strength has increased as quickly as he is on an airplane. Rhodes has only just broken through to the first level of magicians in theory, and Jack is already close to the first level of the master.

"Rod. Blackbeard opened his mouth and said to Rod, "Jack still doesn't understand a lot of things, that's why the lord needs you to be by his side, many times, the lord knows, I hope you can understand the lord's good intentions." As for human life......"

Blackbeard paused: "Human life and the lives of these monsters are the same, in this Fit Continent, they are all part of the continent, there is no distinction between high and low life, the life of monsters is not valuable, and human life is the same, just because people themselves are human, so the lives of the same kind feel more precious." ”

"I can understand that. Rod said.

"No, you can't, I can't, but the master can, the master knows everything. Blackbeard shook his head and stirred the fire in front of him, making it even stronger.

A cold arrow burst through the air, and with the sound of howling wind, it pierced the throat of one of the guards by the fire in the blink of an eye.

The guard next to him looked at his fallen companion and covered his neck in pain, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Before he could finish his words, Jack, who was leaning against the trunk of the tree, and Rod, who was by the fire, immediately went out. Blackbeard yelled, "Hurry up, find the location of these enemies, and protect yourself and the young master." ”

Detect!

Rod's eyes swelled, the magic crystal lens ability activated, and the energy fluctuations around him turned into thousands of information flashing in his eyes.

"Over there, Jack!" shouted Rod, "there are three. ”

The black qi of the sword in Jack's hand instantly diffused, covering the sword body, and a wind breaking sword technique roared out.

The sword qi exploded in the bushes in front of him, and the three agile figures tumbled and jumped out, spreading out in three directions. Rohde's ability is limited enough to rely on the lens ability to find the exact position, and he can only vaguely know which direction it is.

"There's an enemy here!" a group of guards brandished their swords and charged at one of the shadows.

"Don't go!" Rod shouted, but it was too late. The words "it's a trap" stuck in my throat.

One of the leading guards was crushed to death by a huge branch that suddenly broke off from the tree, and the sharp branch pierced his head.

Woohoo.

Two more arrows knocked down two, one piercing the elbow and nailing the trunk of the tree, and the other piercing the calf, rendering them incapacitated.

"Damn. Don't move, everybody. Listen to me. Rod took out a thick stack of magic arrays from his arms and sprinkled them into the sky, surging magic power in the fluttering, and quickly activated the magic.

"Wall of Water!"

The magic array is activated.

Using the principle of refraction of light, Rhodes created a water wall magic similar to the glass in his previous life, where the outside world could not see the inside because of the reflection, but the outside could clearly see the outside world. Of course, this is an improved magic, so it doesn't have the same defense as the original Ice Wall, which can be said to be negligible, but it is very helpful for vision control in battle.

Three directions, three points, a radiation area of about 40 meters, the speed of the cold arrow is less than 1 second, and the strength is extremely strong. The one to the west is the most threatening, the one to the west first.

Ever since Rod developed a fighting style that relies on wisdom in the door, he has begun to practice and apply this fighting style to actual combat, and every time he can make Rod see unexpected results.

"Jack, cooperate with me and pay attention to what I say. Rod yelled. With the magic in his hand, the west wall of water gradually shifted, and the outside world regained the vision of the west side of the water wall. A cold arrow shot out and nailed it to the tree next to Rod.

Rhodes used the offset of the wall of water to create a mirror-like effect, shining his own mirror image to the enemies to the west, causing them to mistakenly believe that it was Rhodes.

"The angle of incidence is about 36°, and the position is ...... according to the mirror offset," Rod yelled, "Jack, the third tree to your right, behind the tree hole." ”

"Give me death. Jack roared frantically, the sword in his hand stabbing straight into the tree hole, almost causing a sound of breaking through the air.

"Whew. A cry of pain came from behind the tree, and Jack drew his sword, and the corpse of a strong goblin fell from behind the tree, holding a short crossbow.

"Get out of the way, Jack!" Rod snapped.

One turned sideways, and raised his sword to block, an arrow flew in Jack's ear, and the black sword in his hand blocked another arrow. Jack immediately rolled over and hid behind a tree.

"Blackbeard, there are two more in the southwest and south, are you sure to solve it?" said Rod.

"Leave it to me. Blackbeard pulled out a large stick out of nowhere and ran towards the southwest.

"Be careful, take care of the dodge. Rod's brain raced, his eyes fixed on the direction of the remaining two enemies.

Bite!

The sound of an iron striking was crisp and loud. Blackbeard misses a cold arrow with a single stick. Directly in front of him, behind a large rock, a goblin with a green turban sprouted a tiny head.

"Found you. Blackbeard spat and slashed, ready to rush over.

"Slow down, be careful, it could be a trap. Rod yelled hurriedly.

Blackbeard's footsteps stopped, and as soon as his legs jumped, he fell backwards, and a cold arrow slashed through his eyes and landed on the trunk of the tree next to Blackbeard.

Boy!

The goblins in the southwest deliberately sell the flaws as bait to make the south side prepare to shoot Blackbeard. When will these guys use their brains too.

A quick roll dodged two more arrows, and Blackbeard was only a breath away from behind the rock.

"Jack, do you see the trees on the right, unleash your fiercest sword skills at the top of the trees!" shouted Rod.

"What? Don't beat this damn goblin with this trick and make me chop down trees?" Jack wondered.

"Do so, Jack, and trust me. Rod's tone was unmistakable, and his brain was already faintly dizzy from the rapid operation.

A black light condensed on the sword in Jack's hand, and it was instantly activated when it broke through the air, and a black light sword qi rushed towards the bushes on Jack's right. After cutting off a few trees, explode directly.

"Yes, it's snow?"

In the south, because of the explosion of Jack's sword skills, the unmelted snow on the trees carried the ice, and the water droplets shook down one after another, like a blizzard.

"Now, Blackbeard, Jack!" Before Rod could finish his sentence, Blackbeard and Jack had already left.

Blackbeard rolls over and rushes to the goblins behind the rocks, and Jack rushes to the goblins in the woods to the south, like two cheetahs.

The snow obscured the view, and no matter how good the crossbowman was close to the warrior, he did not have the slightest power to fight back.

"It's done!" Rhodes smiled, and endless tiredness hit him, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground.

——————————————

——————————————

"It's so dark. Rod rolled over and rubbed his temples, "My head hurts." ”

As far as the eye can see, there is darkness......

"Where is this?" Rhodes patted his face with his hand and touched his eyes, "I, am I blind?"

Rhodes stood up in horror, waving his hands around, fumbling.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Jack, Blackbeard, where are you?" shouted Rod in alarm.

"Boom!"

A burst of purple lightning accompanied by thunder exploded in Rod's ears. And then around again

The hand covering his ear was lowered, and the purple lightning convinced Rhodes that he was neither blind nor deaf.

In the distance, there was another flash of purple lightning, and after a while, the roaring thunder reached Rod's ears.

"Two seconds, about 700 meters. Rod couldn't help but think. From the moment I saw the lightning to the time the thunder reached my ears, two seconds passed.

Dense purple electricity flickered in the distance, faintly in the electric light, and a tall building showed a vague black shadow.

Purple lightning shone brightly, thunder roared, and the originally silent dark world gradually revealed his boundless outline......

Under the purple lightning, the magnificent and tall building seemed to be guiding something.

Rhodes took a swift step in that direction. The fine purple electricity seemed to illuminate his way.

"Where is it!?" Rhodes' pupils constricted, his head hurt again, and he rolled on the ground holding his head, faintly remembering something!

"Yes, it's there! I was, I was here!"
