Chapter 393: Departure 2
Chapter 393:
"Xenomorphs?" Freya raised an eyebrow, confused. "Is it okay to hire?"
"Of course." Bill explained with a smile. "A small number of alien creatures have good intelligence, and because of environmental factors, their strength is equivalent to our ordinary knight level, if you give them something of interest, they will be very happy to serve."
"I see." Freya nodded, in understanding.
"In fact, although the Red Forest Scar is dangerous, there are also many safe places, and many creatures living there have established some good safe areas, as long as they don't actively touch those weird forbidden areas, there will be no problem." Bill continued. "Also, most of those safe areas have nice stuff that you'll love when you see it."
"Oh, is it? Let's hope. ”
Hearing his introduction, Freya said in a flat voice.
"Yes, last time I found one that fits perfectly"
Quietly listening to Bill's introduction, Freya found that the area of the Red Forest Scar seemed to be much larger than she imagined, and it was full of all kinds of dangers, but she didn't know if she could successfully find the meaning of the King Snake's inheritance with her strength and preparation.
'Bang!! ’
As the two men spoke, there was a sudden cacophony of crashing and shouts from the knights of the guards.
The two stood up and looked out the window.
Outside, a huge wild deer covered in pitch black was attacking the newly encamped camp.
Several knights in armor were holding weapons in the way, and the deer's defense looked good. The heavy sword slashed at the fur, leaving only white marks, and it did not pierce the flesh at all.
The gray-robed apprentice was standing in a hidden place and muttering a spell, and threads of gray kept emerging from his hands.
Suddenly, with a finger of his hand, the gray line suddenly floated towards the wild deer and tied it to its forelimbs.
This immediately disrupted its balance, and it fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Seeing this, the two sturdy knights immediately pounced in front of the deer's head and struggled, and then stabbed the deer in the eye with their crossed swords.
'Whew! ’
The red and white liquid gushed out and was quickly washed away by the rain.
The deer that had been attacked by the vital attack only twitched a few times and then did not move at all.
Watch as unexpected situations are quickly resolved. Bill smiled.
"Look at the weight of the deer. It's time to have a humble bonfire in the evening, would you like to join you, Lord Freya? ”
"Me? Never mind. She shook her head slightly. I still have some things to deal with. ”
"Oh, that's a shame." Bill said with some regret. "Still, I think the roast venison must be delicious. And. I have some questions for adults. ”
"It's still a long way to go. What you have is a chance. Freya said calmly.
After a few more conversations about witchcraft, Bill left the tent, leaving Freya alone.
Sit quietly in your chair. Freya pulled out a cyan crystal from her waist, and in the middle of it was something that looked like a translucent finger.
As she swayed, there was a faint ripple like a wave.
This is a crystal containing the limbs of the Spirit Knight that she took with her when she left the Blood Eagle Territory to facilitate her research.
As Freya studied the spirits, some things that were originally very hazy became clearer, and she also knew more and more about the qualitative changes of the soul at the dawn level.
However, because she herself belongs to the ancient inheritor, although her soul still belongs to the human race, it seems that the blood of the king snake is slowly changing in a certain direction.
This change is benign, but it faintly makes her originally somewhat cold personality more and more tranquil, which is the unique quiet taste of the king snake.
Gently stroking the crystal in her hand, sensing the special spirit power in it, Freya sighed softly.
"When I thoroughly study the soul life of this trait, I can condense the fourth spiritual crystal and achieve the qualitative transformation of the soul, but I am also the inheritor of the king snake bloodline, I don't know if I am a real human being."
The ancient lineage was originally a way to abandon one's own bloodline and gain strong power.
This is very different from the modern wizards who are slow to seek the truth of life.
The materials obtained by Freya in the Crane Library also contain descriptions of ancient wizards by modern wizards.
'A strong body, a fragile soul, once you can't control your own instincts, then even the most powerful creature is just a beast that only knows how to reproduce and kill. ’、
Even if there is no fault in the path of ancient wizards, it is still a force that has been eliminated.
It's just that, no matter what, that kind of powerful power is real.
"As the rain god, the king snake itself has a quiet personality and is not keen on killing, which is not a bad result for me, and the path I am taking now is a combination of the two, and the powerful soul combined with the body may be the first wizard to dare to do this."
The route of this union Freya did not know what the consequences would be, and whether the consequences would be good or bad was unknown.
A little bit of psionic power flowed to her fingertips by touching the crystal, and then slowly dissipated.
Freya walked to the entrance of the tent and looked at the convoy still busy in the rain.
The air was filled with a faint dampness and the characteristic fishy smell of rain, and at this time, Freya seemed to be able to control the rainstorm with a slight lift of her hand.
'Smack. ’
Not far away, under the canopy, a yellow fire was stirred up and landed on the black charcoal, making a crackling sound.
The huge wild deer, which had been furned and gutted, was set up on the bonfire and turned around, and in a few moments the yellow grease was roasted and dripped onto the burning charcoal, and the faint smell of meat was faintly emanating.
The faces of the convoy were filled with joy, and some began to prepare long tables and drinks under the canopy.
Quietly looking at this kind of happiness that belongs to the mortal world, Freya's mood seemed to be soothed a little......
Two months later.
In the middle of a dense forest. The convoy slowly drove into a gloomy city in black tones.
At the center of the city is a tall tower, topped by a statue of a humanoid scorpion-tailed and a floating figure visible in the circular windows of the tower.
The streets of the city are dark gray stone slabs of Pucheng, and the streets are filled with strange figures.
The whole human convoy feels inconspicuous here.
A little more than ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at the door of an inn-style building.
Bill jumped out of the front carriage and confronted a green, lizard-like humanoid creature at the hotel.
Freyara, who had been walking behind the convoy, opened the window and looked out.
From time to time, the shadows of one or two large creatures flew in the dark gray sky, surrounded by humanoids in armor and weapons, and a faint smell of blood wafted in the air.
Freya noticed that each of the figures here had a faint look of vigilance, leaving a relatively safe distance from each other.
The whole city gave her a gloomy and somewhat eccentric feeling.
Bill over there seems to have finished negotiating with the innkeeper. After instructing the knights in the convoy to unload their goods, they walked quickly to Freya's car. Said respectfully.
"Lord Freya, this city is considered the border of the Red Forest, although it is a little troublesome, but fortunately, it is safe, and the end of the convoy has been reached. What do you plan to do next? Need us to help you? ”
I thought about it. Freya spoke.
"Give me a rough map of the Red Forest, I don't ask for anything else."
"Okay! I'll send it to you right away. Bill said immediately.
After two months together, Freya's erudition has brought him many benefits. It almost made him take many detours on the road in the future, which even his teacher did not give him.
Even though he had paid quite a few magic stones for this, he also knew that it was an equivalent exchange between wizards, which was not enough to hide his respect for Freya.
Soon, a piece of red parchment was handed to Freya.
She opened the parchment and looked at the area quietly, Bill next to her stood quietly, the convoy not far away had finished unloading, and most of the people walked to the hotel to rest.
After a long time, Freya put away the map and glanced at Bill, who was still beside her.
"Anything else?"
"That's right, Mistress Freya." Bill's face twisted slightly. "We're going to be here for at least three months, and if we can, I think we'll be able to go back together."
"Hmm," Freya said after a moment of silence. "If you're lucky, maybe you can."
Hearing Freya's words, Bill showed a look of joy.
"Oh, that's great, if you come back, please go to Cave No. 4 on Scorpion Street, where our shop is open."
"I see."
She nodded slightly, snapped her fingers, and the two black horses in front of the carriage suddenly turned around and walked towards another road.
Bill stood where he was, waiting until the wagon had completely disappeared into the crowd before entering the hotel......
Riding the streets with her horses in control, Freya recalls information about the city and the location of the Kingsnake Legacy memory she received from Bill.
Because the time spanned thousands of years, the gap between the Red Forest Scar and the original Star Dust Field was too great, and even she wasn't sure if the location of the King Snake Inheritance was still honestly staying there now.
After thinking about it, Freya decided to do what Bill had said.
"It's better to find a tour guide, otherwise it's not good to walk aimlessly and accidentally strayed into some forbidden areas."
Her strength is not invincible, and some weird things may not be clear to her, so it's better to be stable.
Ten minutes later, turning a few streets, Freya came to a black building.
In front of the door of the building stood two knights in pitch-black armor, holding spears covered with spikes, standing straight on either side of the door.
Freya stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the building, where she saw a crouching demon sculpture standing at the top of the building, two bat-winged wings slightly open, and scarlet eyes looking down.
As if sensing Freya's gaze, the originally static sculpture suddenly turned its head, and its red eyes looked at Freya.
"Huh? Actually alive? ”
Sensing the sight of the demon sculpture, Freya raised an eyebrow and walked towards the building.
It's a mercenary-like hall, with all sorts of strange creatures living in it.
Dressed in a black robe and hooded, Freya squeezed past a creature with a chicken-headed human body and made her way to the counter.
Behind the counter was a delicate girl, with a beautiful face that looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but there were more than ten eyes, densely and irregularly distributed on the cheeks, which looked very strange.
The multi-eyed girl lowered her head to sort out the documents, but she didn't raise her head.
"Are you here to pick up the task, or are you posting the task?"
Not caring about the girl's strange appearance, Freya took out a small bag of magic stones from her waist and threw it on the counter with a 'pop'.
"Here are fifty magic stones, and I need a shrewd guide to the poisonous mist swamp of the Red Forest Scar."
"Huh?" Perhaps hearing the number of magic stones reported by Freya, the girl raised her head and looked at Freya with more than a dozen eyes on her face, and confirmed. "Do you mean fifty magic stones?"
"Of course, is there a problem?" Being watched by more than a dozen eyes at the same time, Freya, who was hidden in the hood, frowned slightly.
"No, of course not." The girl carefully put away the bag and counted the number of magic stones in the drawer behind the counter. "Okay, I'll send you the task right away, please leave your contact information here."
As she spoke, the girl pulled a form from the side and placed it in front of Freya.
After a pause, she stretched out her finger and tapped it lightly on the back of the form, and the arcane sigil was instantly imprinted on it.
"Okay." Seeing the mark that had been left behind, the girl's tone became extremely respectful. "If someone comes to pick up the task, we will notify you as soon as possible, please keep your sign."
A black card was handed to Freya.
On the back of the card is a beautiful woman's head with curved horns, and a line of small letters engraved on the back.
'Produced by the Lady of Pain, if you break the rules, please contact the Thirteenth Floor of the Dark Tower. ’
"The Tower of Darkness?" Seeing the name, Freya immediately thought of the black tower she had seen when she entered the city earlier, and this Lady of Pain seemed to be one of the city's higher-ups.
After posting the mission, Freya circled around the hall again before leaving the place.
It's just that not long after leaving, the put away card made a slight vibration.
Freya took out the card and put it in her hand, and found that on the front of the card was rapidly tumbling a row of messages, which were the materials that received the task at the same time.
In just a short time, it has reached more than 50.
“”
Looking at this information speechlessly, Freya seemed to have guessed the strange appearance of the multi-eyed girl before.
Although she knew from Bill that the magic stones in this place could still be used as a universal currency, she didn't expect the purchasing power to be so strong. (To be continued......)
