"Is that him?"

As soon as he entered the group, he put down the examiner Mattheton, and I heard that in front of his demon dog, Matteton didn't even have a chance to fight back. ”

"Haha, that's a really great newcomer, but it's not a good thing, that little guy in Matteton is very careful. ”

"How could a first-order necromancer be so powerful? The opponent he faced was an elite paladin, right?"

"Mutation summoning, and it seems to be an actively controlled magic mutation, changing spell slots......"

"Sting, stinging, stabbing ......" ignoring the whispering sounds coming from the wind in all directions, Shi Yinghu leaned over to operate the whetstone, polishing his two long swords, and caressing their sharpness from time to time, feeling their sharpness recover.

If you want to cover it, you have to make it up.

If you want to hide the ability you really want to hide, you have to expose another part of the less important ability to attract the attention of others.

Shi Yinghu's real life-saving ability to press the bottom of the box is his own martial arts, as for the necromancer profession, mutated skeletons and even three-headed demon dogs, these are just auxiliaries, or even additions.

Similarly, if you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, you can't really be a pig, you will be despised and you won't be able to participate in the events you want to participate in.

With the sparks on the whetstone, the steel and silver sword weapons were almost polished, and Shi Yinghu began to apply sword oil to them, maintaining the performance of the two sword weapons to their peak.

"It's better to use this, it's sword oil boiled with the fat of the monster, which can improve the sharpness of the sword. At this moment, a strong, white-haired old man walked over, and he threw over a bag of sword oil, and said so.

Shi Yinghu opened the cork of the leather pouch and sniffed it: "The ghoul's fat, with the addition of black leaves and fire grass, can attach a certain degree of fire damage, and it is useless." As he spoke, he threw back the sword oil leather bag in his hand to the old man in front of him.

"If you don't make meritorious deeds, you won't accept unwarranted gains? What a proverb full of wisdom! Where are you from, little brother?"

"Kate Bryan, a recent graduate of the Ancient Serpent's Castle, Uncle Dalles, I've booked this guy, your team is full of seven, wouldn't it be a burden to suddenly add one, or is there anyone in your team who is planning to quit?"

Just when Shi Yinghu was talking to the tall and strong white-haired old man, suddenly a female voice full of heroic vitality interjected, and at some point, the paladin girl Aretta came to the public rest area, she leaned behind the old man and put her hands on his shoulders, looking like a junior to the elder coquettish and cute.

It's just that faintly, Shi Yinghu saw the old man and the young man in a trance, and there was a feeling of electric lightning in his eyes.

"A pharmacist with enough self-protection power to take on both combat and logistics functions, Niece Aretta Xian, any team will want such a person, and your team will not be able to retain such talents. ”

"Uncle Dalles, they are all members of the same regiment, what are you doing with such a clear calculation? What's more, you are a barbarian, and you can't cooperate well with Mr. Kate, and I am a paladin on the defensive side, with my assistance and cooperation, maybe Mr. Kate can also cultivate other mutant summons!"

Because Dacrim City is surrounded by a negative energy barrier, it is very dangerous for too many people to enter together, and the negative energy will converge to form a lethal hell celestial phenomenon, and in that case, no matter how many people fill it in, it is a dead word.

Therefore, not only can the human legion not be allowed to enter in groups, but even professional witchers should maintain a team size of around five people, and, even so, there are a small number of witchers who are lost in the negative energy barrier, fortunately, the number is very small.

Because of this extremely special situation, even within the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, various squads compete for each other's talents.

Distribute according to work, work more, and the team of professionals with the best performance will naturally have the highest returns.

Kate Bryan has just joined the team and has shown excellent strength and great value, so he has been targeted by many strong squads.

Darles War Maniac, a grandmaster-level barbarian, is strong, and the team he brought is also strong, and Darles is a sophisticated person, although he is a barbarian, but he has no carelessness or recklessness, but there is no lack of courage and courage, and the team he leads, at present, is the Sword and Shield Brotherhood within the Trist Federation, which belongs to one and two.

Aretta Venu, the representative of the new generation of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, is even privately called the "Goddess of Dawn" because of her calm and solid shield defense skills and dazzling beauty. But she personally hates this title very much, and she is eager to prove her ability, and is currently working hard to form her own team, but the people in her team are either her best friends or those who joined because of their beauty or background, and the overall strength is quite worrying.

Now, Shi Yinghu didn't know all these information, but the barbarian Darles and the paladin Aretta standing in front of him basically saw through him in a short confrontation.

Dalles seems to be heroic, but in fact, he is old and steady, and only a third of the ghoul oil thrown to him is left, most of the barbarians may not notice this, they really want to show kindness, but this Dalles is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, but it is impossible not to notice this:

To put it bluntly, he is the kind of person who is more stingy, if he takes risks with him, he will definitely take the lion's share of the income, and Shi Yinghu can't accept this alone.

Paladin Aretta, with a resolute temperament, but obviously still a little immature, was constantly taught by Dals, in a few words, an ordinary girl would have turned around and cried and ran, but she gritted her teeth and stood here, not retreating or avoiding, but she could only stand here and be taught by the other party's old man, which shows that she is not smooth and flexible enough, and many times she should retreat and refuse to retreat, standing there on the hard top...... People like this can easily die in any corner of the world right now.

But it is also the same kind of person, once they grow up, they have the possibility of breaking through the limits and surpassing reality with their will.

"Uh, both, I'm tired, I'll go back and rest today, and say goodbye. ”

"Wangwang......" Shi Yinghu carried two polished swords, left, followed behind him by the three-headed little fat dog, running and jumping, firmly following his master, from time to time curiously looking back at the two strange people.

"Niece Aretta Xian, I'm going to decide this Kate Brian. As long as you don't do your mother's business, you know very well that you can't compete with me, right?" said Dalles as he watched the necromantic wizard walk away.

His words made Aretta's little face suddenly white, her fists clenched subconsciously, and her bones rattled.

Returning to the Chase Shop prepared by the Brotherhood for newcomers, Shi Yinghu flipped through a book of necromancy by the light.

The Sword and Shield Brotherhood has prepared five elite squads for the next mission, and they still have to join one of them after all: the two strongest squads are the War Maniac Squad led by the Barbarian Grandmaster Dals and the White Bone Squad led by the Necromantic Grandmaster Visin.

The next level is the Blazing Heart Squad led by Aretta, the Burning Spear led by the Amazonian warrior Ulmaha, and the Nightingale led by the female assassin Krees.

Among them, the Burning Spear and the Nightingale do not need to be considered, the former is the gathering place of the Amazon female warriors, and the group of fierce women are all covered by melee and long-range, and there is no need for men to join at all.

Nightingale is a functional squad, and their style of play is mainly inclined to stealth assassination, and they are not too entangled with the monster sea at all.

The leader of the Battle Maniac Squad, Dales War Maniac, seems to be heroic, but in fact he is stingy. This kind of hypocrite can try to contact as little as possible without contact, and it is easy to be hated by him inexplicably, not to mention that if he is on the same team, his income will be swallowed up by him by virtue of his rank advantage.

(For now, only Blazing Heart and White Bone are more reliable, and Blazing Heart's leader, Aretta, is a bit stubborn, although this is not a bad thing for the paladin class, but for a team leader, it is a very bad thing.) ）

(Well, I hope the Necromantic Master of the White Bones, Wissing, is a reliable man, and if that happens, I can learn something from him.) ）

In addition to these five elite squads, the Sword and Shield Brotherhood has other squads, but they are not advance squads, they are suitable choices for other new members, but they are not Shi Yinghu's.

...............

The next day, on the lower level of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood's residence, Captain Bones, Necromantic Grandmaster Visin's room.

"You mean, you want to join the White Bone and become my subordinate?" In the room, a thin man with silver hair and a black robe on a red background whispered in front of Shi Yinghu, his expression slightly strange.

"You're the only Necromantic Grandmaster in the Brotherhood in the local area, and as a junior, I do want to learn from you, but before joining the Bone Squad, I want to know more about my future companions before making a decision. Although he noticed that Wei Xin's expression was different, Shi Yinghu still continued to speak.

"You're very honest...... I also admire you very much. But...... Actually, you can't be blamed for this, there are not many people in the group who know about it. At this point, Visin paused, and then the Necromantic Master looked at the junior in front of him and said, "Mattiton is my younger brother, my own brother. Although I also understand your need to show your own worth, understanding does not mean accepting, although I don't appreciate him very much, but after all, it is my own brother. ”

"........." looked at the silver-haired, thick-haired Necromantic Grandmaster in front of him, and then thought back to the big bald head of the examiner Mattiton, Shi Yinghu really didn't know what to say for a while.

Are you two genetically mutated? one became a necromancer, or even a Grandmaster promoted to the third order, and the other became a second-order paladin?

Sometimes I wonder how I could have such a stupid brother, but he is very much like my parents, and even if he is picked up, I am afraid that the one who is picked up is me. Laughing, Wei Xin stood up and personally poured Shi Yinghu a glass of blood wine, and then handed it to him.

"Personally, I admire you, but my stupid brother is angry right now, but don't worry, he's stupid, but he doesn't have a bad heart, and it won't be long before he forgets about it. The two of us are diametrically opposed at this point, and I don't have an easy feud, but once I do, I don't feel comfortable for a day if I don't kill that guy. ”

After staying in the necromancer's room for a while, Shi Yinghu left, but as he was leaving, he turned around and asked, "Grandmaster Weixin, which team do you think is more suitable for me to join?"

This sentence seems to be an inquiry, but it is actually a trap given by Shi Yinghu to the other party, because Wei Xin has worked with Dalles for many years, and with the shrewdness of a mage, it is impossible not to detect Dalles's temperament.

Five elite squads, excluding the bones, the flaming spears of the Amazonian female warriors, and the functional squad Nightingale.

In the end, only Berserk and Blazing Heart squads remained.

If Wei Xin suggested that he choose to fight wildly, it means that this guy actually still holds a grudge against himself, and he is deceiving himself if he doesn't care about anything, so he should be vigilant.

After all, the man in front of him himself said that he had a strong desire for revenge.

“...... Blazing Heart. Aretta is a very nice girl, and if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely go after her. Holding the blood-red red wine in his hand, Necromantic Grandmaster Visin said.

"Thank you for your advice. Nodding, Shi Yinghu walked out and closed the door by the way.

The Sword and Shield Brotherhood is stationed in the local area, the top is the tavern, and the bottom is where everyone stays, the old and powerful members live in a single room, such as in the barbarian Darles, such as the necromancer Visin, and newcomers like Shi Yinghu sleep in the Chase Shop, the accommodation conditions are not very good, fortunately, because of the deterrence of Shi Yinghu's strength, the corner where he is quite clean, and some people will even take the initiative to clean up for him.

When Shi Yinghu returned, Alita, a female paladin in gorgeous heavy armor, was already waiting in the room.

Seeing Shi Yinghu, she didn't say anything more, but directly threw over a wooden cane.

This is the type of wand that the necromancer profession is accustomed to, with demonic gloomy wood as the main material, which can strengthen or even temporarily give the necromancer a certain spell-casting ability.

"It's all my savings, and if you're willing to join the Blazing Heart, it's yours. ”

Burning Summoner's Staff (Treasure Tier Equipment), Magic Weapon, +2 Skeleton Revival, +1 Flame Enhancement (11 of 11) Gathering Qi - A blazing heart that symbolizes the belief to prove oneself even against all odds.

His fingers slowly swiped over the well-maintained staff, and as his own magic power was infused, Shi Yinghu could feel the subtle changes in the magic energy circuit within. It's really, a really good wand.

"I will follow your instructions as much as possible during my mission, but I hope that you will also be willing to listen to us if necessary, and if there is a conflict between the two sides that cannot be reconciled...... I'll give you back this wand. Shi Yinghu scratched a little Areta with that wand, and he meant so.

"Well, we're going to meet our teammates that afternoon, and the day after tomorrow, we're going to be in Dakrim. Aretta didn't care about Shi Yinghu's words, because once he entered Dacrim, where the Demon Plague broke out, the Lone Wanderer could barely survive, and left the team in that environment?

The Blazing Heart squad under the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, captain Aretta Venu, vice-captain Assassin Chara, as well as two druids, a spearman, and an offensive paladin, with the addition of Shi Yinghu, this team has become a seven-person squad, which is a little large, but not excessive.

Because the dispatch time was urgent, Shi Yinghu had little room to fully understand his teammates.

It is only generally seen that Chara is Aretta's best friend and the most loyal person to Arletta, among the two druids, one of the druids seems to be deeply hidden, when introduced, he smiled and called himself an archer, but Shi Yinghu looked at his body and posture, and felt that his martial arts were quite good...... In this world, being able to be praised by Shi Yinghu for good martial arts is really good, he seems to be hiding something.

Another young druid youth and another offensive paladin, both of them are obviously Alletta's admirers and suitors, and they are at each other's signs, and at the same time, they are faintly aimed at Shi Yinghu, who has just joined the team, even if Shi Yinghu has no intention of pursuing Alita, but they seem to regard all the young men who approach Alietta as potential threats.

Finally, there is a spearman, which is a degraded variant class of the Amazon combined with the paladin, who is good at spear skills, mainly attacking one or two aura abilities, and is also quite good in terms of combat power, but I have almost never heard of a strong person who has been promoted to the legendary rank, and it seems to be a career promotion route with little development potential.

Since Shi Yinghu joined, he vaguely inquired if Shi Yinghu knew about Arletta's background, and he looked honored.

However, it was also in his mouth that Shi Yinghu knew that Arletta's uncle and stepfather were actually one of the founders of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood: the legendary paladin, Grul Venu.

Originally Arletta's uncle, Grul Venu was remarried to her husband's younger brother, the legendary paladin Gruel, after the death of Aretta's biological father, Hadham Venu.

This kind of thing, in fact, is not particularly excessive, but the world has extremely high requirements for the moral character of the legendary paladin, and the legendary paladin has always existed as a secular moral benchmark, so this incident happened in ordinary people's homes and did not cause any repercussions, which caused an uproar back then. Many even assert that the legendary paladin Grull Venu is not far from falling, if not yet fallen.

However, speculation is just speculation after all, and it is not useful.

In the following years, under the gaze of the world, the legendary paladin Grul Venu loved his wife, pampered his righteous daughter, killed evil spirits, and upheld justice, and did not fall at all, but grew in strength by leaps and bounds.

Even soon, he and his wife had their own love crystallization.

Because of this development that goes against common sense, there are many idlers who go through old accounts and dig up old materials, and in the end they really dig it out.

It turned out that it was Cruel Venu's elder brother Hadham Vinu who took love first, and he took advantage of Gruul's bloody battle on the frontline battlefield to take away his brother's lover.

Later, after returning from the battlefield, Gruul Venu did not do anything to his brother, but locked himself in the temple confinement, practiced hard, and through this, broke through the legendary realm, many years later, Hadham Venu fell ill and died, and then Gruel Venu remarried his former love. In terms of personal morality, he has achieved blamelessness, and then he has gained his own love, and it is normal for his strength to improve by leaps and bounds.

However, Gruul Venu is beyond reproach, but also on behalf of his wife, as well as his daughter.

In a sense, Arreta Venu's desperate efforts are a kind of rebellion against the pain that the world has pressed on her.

The love-hate entanglement of the older generation was too much on this young girl.

............

In the early morning of the fourth day of joining the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, Berserk, White Bone, Blazing Heart, Burning Spear, Nightingale, and five elite teams of witchers entered Dacrim City through the outer negative energy barrier in turn.

Because they are afraid of attracting negative energy to converge, they cannot enter together, either two hours apart, or enter together from different directions, which is also conducive to dispersing negative energy.

However, Dacrim City is not the private land of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, and other forces and adventurers must also enter, so they can only choose to enter a group of people every two hours in one direction.

Against the violent wind and sand, the send-off behind him soon disappeared.

The negative energy barrier is a "flowing" place, and after entering, you must quickly move in the direction of Dakrim City, and if you are slow, you don't know where you will be pushed, just like being in a flowing river.

Before entering, everyone was in a state of preparation.

Both the druid and the necromancer summoned all the pets they could summon, because they could still be replenished by the team outside, and the magic supply of the team itself would be consumed after entering.

Shi Yinghu didn't hide anything, he directly summoned all his skeleton warriors, among which the mutant skeleton elite soldiers were far taller and stronger than the other skeleton warriors and held silver two-handed swords, which were obviously mutant skeletons, which made Alita, Chara and the others very happy, and made Dals very displeased.

In the past few days, Dalles has repeatedly recruited this man, but he is too stingy, the price offered is too low, and even faintly threatened, and how can a person like Shi Yinghu be threatened by him?

However, in the raging wind and sand within the negative energy enchantment, even mutated skeletons are only a little more resistant to blowing than ordinary skeletons.

Shi Yinghu was wearing a robe on the outside and leather armor on the inside, he walked in the team with his head bowed, and in the collar on his chest, a little fat dog with three heads looked around curiously, at present, it was the most comfortable.

"We're lucky, we're in the Sand Hell, not the Flame Hell, the Ice Hell, or the Poison Hell, the Sand Hell is just a little harder, as long as we don't get lost, we can reach Krem City soon. Standing at the front with his hand against the shield, he fended off the sand and dust for the casters behind him, and although the sand smashed the shield in his hand with a bang, the paladin girl Aretta still cheered up her teammates.

Actually, it's not necessary.

Everyone is a professional, so it is not possible to just start and the morale will drop to the point of retreating.

Five illusory spirit wolves, three wild wolves, three skeleton warriors are on the outermost periphery, and then the professional demon hunters who are wrapped in it, slowly moving forward in this desert sea and wild sand hell.

"Brother Kate, why is the chance of your summon mutating and evolving so high?

Although he originally rejected Kate Bryan, as a professional who mainly attacked the summoning system, the young druid Weidel looked at the mutated skeleton and the three-headed cute dog in the man's arms, and finally couldn't help but come over and ask.

The so-called maturity is often the ability to hold back and not speak. From this point of view, Weidel is clearly not mature enough.

"My mutant skeleton was indeed obtained by accident, but it was obtained by me by replacing the spell position, don't you also have a mutated wolf? Why don't you summon it?" Although Weidel was quite repulsive to himself at the beginning, he didn't do anything unfavorable to himself, so how could Shi Yinghu's mind worry too much about him.

Therefore, the necromantic wizard responded indifferently and did not throw a cold face.

"My Fenrir doesn't listen to me very much, although he is willing to fight for me, I usually don't dare to summon it, and in this environment, compared to Fenrir, it is the five spirit wolves that are more conducive to detection,"

"I don't think so. As soon as Shi Yinghu's words fell, a fierce wind and sand in the sky hit, and even like a dense iron sand, with a wave of killing, it hit the skeleton warrior's bones and crackled, and the mutant skeleton elite soldier even held his sword in front of him with both hands, making a defensive gesture.

Bang bang bang......

With three explosions in succession, Weidel summoned the three spirit wolves on the outermost periphery, and one after another exploded, although they were ghost wolves, they were not unsusceptible to physical damage.

The young druid in front of Shi Yinghu was born in a very prosperous druid family, and as a child of the family, Weidel benefited a lot, and was even forced to pile up a mutated wolf by his family with a crystal core, of course, his own efforts and talent are also worthy of recognition, he was promoted to a second-order professional in his early twenties, and in the future, it is not completely impossible to impact the legendary master, at least, if nothing else, the strong third-order grandmaster is always relatively stable.

It's just that the experience is too lacking.,And young and muse.,Too infatuated with the girl you like.。

"In this case, don't use the spirit wolf to be vigilant, let's be vigilant ourselves, you don't consume too much mana before you reach Dacrim. ”

The wind and sand just blow, and the five spirit wolves exploded three of them, but Shi Yinghu's skeleton warrior was unharmed, but this was because of the high quality of the summoning.

At the front of the team stood Captain Arreta Venu, Vice-Captain Chara, and the offensive paladin Enge, then Weidel and Shi Yinghu as the priests, Muhar as the archer, and finally Turhat the spearman at the back.

Looking at such a formation, Shi Yinghu actually felt quite funny in his heart, the two people with the strongest melee ability and the highest martial arts were surrounded and protected in the most core position, of course, this is not a bad thing for himself.

At this moment, Shi Yinghu bowed slightly and frowned.

After a while, the druid Muhar, who was the archer, shouted: "Be careful, everyone, the monster group has been found in the southwest!"

"Array, prepare for battle!" As soon as Arretta's words fell, a dark blue swarm of insects rushed to the southwest, like a group of unicorn fairies magnified to human height, rushing up like a herd of bison on the prairie.

“Resist Lightning！”

Aretta let out a low roar, and there was an aura spread under her feet, but it was not a resistance aura that enhanced physical defense, but a silver-white "lightning resistance" aura that protected against lightning damage.

And it turned out that her choice and decision were undoubtedly correct, and the terrifying strong electricity continued to spread from the bodies of those dark blue unicorns, but Aretta held the shield on top of it, like a solid wall, and most of the current shock was dispersed.

It is a recognized fact that everyone on the side, including the summons of the druid and the necromancer, has spread the power of the paladin's aura under their feet, and it is a recognized fact that a powerful paladin can increase the combat power of the group several times.

"Kill the Thunder Beetle and gain XP 54.26. ”

"Kill the Thunder Beetle and gain 49.7 experience. ”

At this time, Shi Yinghu didn't have much time to pay attention to his gains, he focused more on the current team's cooperation with each other, and the two sides had just taken over, and the assassin Chara had already disappeared without a trace.

It is obviously a hidden past, detecting whether there are mutated elite-level monsters, and if there is, it is much more meaningful to detect and be alert in advance than it is for her to kill a few thunder beetles.

The spearman Turhat ran from the rear to the front, and in the process, he took out a few throwing spears and threw them, directly killing several thunder beetles, and then he rushed into the formation with spears in both hands, and the aura of resistance lit up under his feet, increasing the physical defense of his side.

Although the stacking of multiple auras will cause each other's performance to decrease, the eighty percent power of two auras is more useful than the one hundred percent power, at least in the current state.

The appearance of this offensive aura made the attack and movement speed of the surrounding thunder beetles decrease, and the frost gradually spread on the body, which was obvious that Enge's attainment in the sacred frozen aura was not low.

However, among these people, the most lethal is Muhar, not only his wolf bites, but Muhar's own archery skills are really worthy of his own positioning, the arrows are stable, and the vital attack is basically a thunder beetle with one arrow.

And the young druid Weidel next to him, after his initial panic, he quickly calmed down and began to cast spells.

Long-term study and communication with nature allow the druid to integrate with the surrounding environment, which allows the druid to influence and summon the power of nature to attack the enemy, causing extensive destruction and damage, although Weidell is the main druid of the summoning system, but he still controls the power of wind and flame, and the wind and fire blow through the thunder beetle swarm, even if it can't be killed, it also reduces the difficulty of killing others.

"There are no elite mutant-level monsters, quickly wipe them out!" Suddenly jumping out of the stealth state of the Demon Cloak, the short-haired sturdy assassin slashed several Thunder Beetles in front of him with a wave of his claws, behaving extremely neatly.

Seeing this, Shi Yinghu nodded slightly, holding a medicine between his five fingers, and began to calmly perform the technique.
