27. Along the way
The location of the camping was not too far from the main road, and a large convoy passed by them in a short time.
The scouting guards at the head watched their campfire wary, and after a brief assessment, reported back to the caravan's master.
When they are away from home, they have to keep an eye out for the wind and grass, and although they often become cannon fodder and the foil of the protagonist's light in various bard legends, their survival is the guarantee of a caravan.
The caravan master thought for a moment, didn't bother, just passed by them, and at the same time asked one of the guards not far away to inform the other party that there were wolves trailing behind, so that the adventurers camping here had better avoid the trees.
"Don't you hear it, there's a wolf behind you, don't make trouble." Percy pushes Alain on his body.
"I'll eat as many as those little animals come." Alan disagreed, and continued to pull the man's clothes, "My lord, come and play~ No money~"
"Oh, what will you be, that beauty?" Two young men were fighting in the tent, and soon a fire broke out.
"I'll ...... whatever you want," Alain didn't finish his words, and his expression suddenly froze.
Outside the tent, a large fireball hung in the air, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
Darkness came from the forest, and countless grim green eyes stared at the flames.
"That's ...... Gnolls? Percy was extremely sensitive.
"Gnolls?" Alan casually swept away with his mental power, twenty or so low-level creatures, more than two meters tall, with a jackal-like head, a jackal's gray-red mane on his body, more than two hundred lice and flea parasites on each person's body, with a big mouth dripping water, the stench emitted from the mouth is almost tangible and can be directly perceived by the spiritual power, and the highest is the appearance of the third level.
It's good to ignore this rank, but thinking of the filthy aura on them, Alain waved a wave of darkness.
With a bang, more than two dozen creatures were seriously injured and flew away, and they ran away in fright.
If you don't kill him, I'm afraid that they will die, and the stench will continue to stay, and you won't be able to sleep well that night.
After solving the trouble, the two stopped fighting, and Alain obediently slept next to Percy and closed his eyes.
It's okay to run anywhere, as long as he's aroundβ
On the other side of the jungle, a group of wounded gnolls report to a gnolls what had just happened.
The gnoll man was nearly two meters taller than the clansman in front of him, his snow-white fur was very clean, his mouth was closed very tightly under his nose, not a drop of saliva dripped down, and a scar cut down his forehead, which made the wolf's face even more handsome - yes, even in a human eye, this was a handsome wolf.
"No man shall defile the place where our Lord comes." The handsome gnoll thought of the two humans and thought for a moment, "But the blood of the strong can better restore my lord." β
Eugene, the gnoll god, the priesthood beast, gluttony, hunting.
You can rely on your own strength to recover your own flesh and blood, and the more strong people you eat, the faster you can recover.
It is not yet possible to determine the target's class level, but since the opponent has passive magic defense and silent instant casting, it must be high-level.
This handsome gnoll man will not make a move when he is not sure of the enemy's strength, because the god of hunting was directly pulled out when he saw a knight and bit it when he saw it, and he was completely unable to take care of himself.
His tooth-made dagger is still a famous legendary item in the Northlands.
The handsome gnoll decided to go and see it first.
Following the scent of the native gnolls, he quickly found the campfire burning.
Then sniffed on the ground.
Well, it's so fragrant, it's a small leaf mint tea in the south and a steak with black pepper ribeye, and the fragrance of grilled overlord squid...... Wait a minute! Overlord squid?
That Divine Son who is only 100 meters tall with a tentacle and was born with a 17-level challenge level?
β¦β¦
I've just been promoted to a god this year, and I'm a great priest for this kind of opponent......
To be on the safe side, it is more certain to pull the other three gods as well.
Anyway, it's all latent at the moment, and there's always something to do.
He silently retreated the way he came.
And then hit something.
It was an extremely sharp long sword, pestle on the cold earth, and behind the long sword, an ancient and sturdy skirt armor.
"Hello." The handsome jackal greeted calmly, "If you want to attack that camp, you can go by yourself, I'm not their opponent, please let me go." β
"Then you're not going to go find a helper?" Percy smiled and asked, "Wolves are social animals. β
"I'm not a wolf, I'm a kobold from the Satsuma Icefield...... Do you let the Wang who doesn't let you? "The handsome gnoll bared his fangs.
"I've heard that the kobolds in Satsuma are very good comrades-in-arms, so please help us keep the night." Percy gently drew his sword.
"I'm expensive." The handsome gnoll said warily.
"A bottle of high-grade cod liver oil from the Alchemy Society?" Percy asked.
"Deal!" The handsome gnoll instinctively wagged his tail and took it as an extraneous thing.
So a man and a wolf returned to the campfire.
"Recently, the Holocaust has begun to descend again, it is simply terrifying, and purgatory is enough to make this world unsafe." Percy said with a sigh by the fire.
"Who's to say it's not, but it's the second time, and it shouldn't be as chaotic as the first." The handsome gnoll man took a bite of the overlord squid, and felt that it was fragrant and chewy, and it was indeed a high-level species.
"Since you're from the north, do you have any news from the north?" Percy asked.
"Purgatory doesn't seem to have any changes, or is it still facing the north of the Holy Light, and the southern country is still waiting?" The gnoll asked.
"Yes, I really can't understand why the southern kingdom doesn't join forces with the north of the Holy Light to solve purgatory together, and so many warriors die every year, what a pity." Percy sighed.
"The Church of Light is too strong." The jackal shook his head and said, "The southern realm is the last territory of the gods, if there is no purgatory, how can the gods fight with the Holy Light Church?" Since the Elemental Upper Realm invaded the magic side, how many churches have gone out of business, and even the word "bankruptcy" has been passed down by them. β
"Although the Holy Light Church has advantages, other churches are also reforming." Percy said strangely, "For example, in the past, they relied on piety to give back to the priest's mana, but now many churches have directly used the Holy Light to directly use spiritual power to transform their faith power, and they have also learned from the Holy Light Church to open the meritorious service exchange and examination system, which not only makes the members more powerful, but also accepts a lot of believers." β
"Do you believe that I will bite you if I mention the exam again?" The gnoll man bared his fangs and was extremely angry, "Forget the damn church test of combat effectiveness, what the hell is the cultural class, does it have a bone to do with the battle?" β
"I think too," Percy immediately found a common language with the other party, and after complaining about the damn exam system together, he asked quietly, "Then when will you clean up the Holy Light Church together?" β
"Who will go before the Holy Light Church is destroyed by Purgatory, when the North is dead?" The jackal sneered, "Now they are just shrinking in their own territory, ready to wait quietly for the catastrophe to pass and go to heaven, after all, there were too many people who died in the war of the gods thousands of years ago, and the number of people who came later was not enough to support the existence of the gods. β
"I heard there's something big going on in the Northland lately?"
"North is missing? I don't know, but now the major churches are nervous, and I'm afraid that the north will quietly come over to collect people's heads. β
"So they don't have any big plans?"
"Brother, it's too much, the price of asking again is not a bottle of cod liver oil." The handsome gnoll man frowned.
"Okay, anyway, my relatives and I are going to other worlds, and asking is just to make sure that the countries in the south are safe." Percy didn't force it either.
ββ¦β¦ Why am I still being shown when I leave the group, do you want to live as a single dog? "The handsome gnoll bared his fangs.
"You can't find you so handsome, it's because your vision is too high, right?" Percy was surprised.
"I love cleanliness and ask them to bathe often, and they don't like me......" said the handsome gnoll man.
"That's because they don't have vision!"
β¦β¦
At the end of the night, Percy and the handsome gnoll talk for a night, and they almost hate each other, leaving each other a contact information and parting ways.
Along the way, Alain was unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Percy put her arm around him and asked softly.
ββ¦β¦ Honey, am I handsome or is he handsome? Alain asked.
"You." Percy said without hesitation.
"Original...... What you like is my appearance. Alain laughed and hung on him.
"No, I like you even if it's a bone frame."
