Chapter 40: The Strange Adventurer Squad
"Tut-tut, what a pity, Death Knight, the Gundam pilot won't fall a second time because of the same little trick!"
As the thick smoke and dust quickly became useless after the test machine was hidden behind the shield and lifted into the air, the arrogant and somewhat frantic voice of the Jira crossing line once again came from the thing that seemed to outsiders to be a mechanical puppet.
This Holy Light Gundam, called the RX-78 series trial No. 1 machine, was actually tested by Edlan and Owerthback with the shape of the Arcane Golem in Silvermoon City, but with an extra head, the overall body shape was adjusted a little higher, making it appear slimmer, and leaving a cockpit in the chest cavity of the body that was large enough for a dwarf, as well as back pendants and weapon slots and other settings that were common to the Gundam, so there was the birth of a small individual mecha combat unit after the development and popularization of this mechanical exoskeleton deviceγ
Now, after a simple battle (fight) with Thassarian, there are not many traces of battle damage from the outside, not even basic abrasions, but the tower shield it holds that can cover almost half of its body has already appeared deep marks, and it has been repeatedly torn and washed away by the power of frost and death, if this shield has not been specially strengthened with two high-hardness things, the Aujin Ingot and the Azeroth Diamond, I am afraid that this body would have turned into a pile of scrap metal under the outbreak of Thassarian's onslaught.
The prototype No. 1 is suspended in mid-air, and the thrusters, soles of feet, and calves on the back of the aircraft are spraying cyan heat downwards to maintain such a bulky machine in the air. I don't know if it's because the driving skills of the Gila crossing line are not very good, or if it was injured somewhere in the previous battle, and the whole body is shaking and swinging irregularly as if it is out of balance.
"Even though the first live firing made it so difficult for me, it was exactly what I wanted!
None of the instability on the mech seemed to affect the eagerness of the Gila line, and the mech quickly aimed and opened fire on the newly freed Thassarian!
Thassarian had never seen such a scoundrel trick that completely made him unable to fight back, but he didn't give it for nothing, the ammunition made of holy energy thicker than his thumb rained down from the sky, but he was stunned by his own maneuvering, dodging, and energy collision without letting his body be hit by a single shot!
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
The fierce energy collision caused the dry soil to be swept away again, and the withered trees could not withstand such a continuous and wanton erosion of energy blows, and were affected and destroyed...... Then, even the patches of weeds that grew tenaciously under the plague did not escape the fate of being destroyed in patches and patches.
Jira was a little annoyed at the crossing, because she saw that after the continuous firing, the barrel of the energy cannon of the machine was emitting white smoke outward, obviously entering the cooling time, which made her calm down a lot and tried to recall the battle process just now, obviously she was trying to concentrate on aiming, but the opponent's not very agile body unexpectedly accurately judged her every time she fired, what was wrong?
"Iriel, for the record, the attack method of 30 rounds of high-energy cluster munitions at medium frequency consumes 10% of the body's energy base, and the result...... Look at it yourself......"
After hearing her partner's serious concluding remarks, although Irel wondered that this was not like the strong midget lady, she didn't think about it so much, and immediately recorded the test data just now
Come on, but before she could write a few words, Jira's voice sounded again, "Jamie, Verinde, the data collection is enough, let's go together!"
When Sasarian heard this, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly jumped back from a defensive posture, wanting to stay away from this place directly! Today he can be regarded as an eye-opener, these living scoundrels do not care about the feelings of the dead at all, and do not have the slightest pity and the dignity of professionals, but take pleasure in playing tricks on their opponents, how evil this is, makes him, a death knight, a little embarrassed.
Despite his quick reflexes and movements, Thassarian was still a step slower, especially if he was calculating or unintentional, and his retreat was cut off by the large mechanical golem that swooped down in an instant!
"Bang"
The trial machine smashed the ground in front of Thassarian's path, successfully forcing him back, and it was in such a moment of retreat and stunned that the roots full of life energy broke through the ground again, and quickly crawled all over his legs like money, so that he couldn't move a single step at all, let alone break free.
And when Thassarian's instinctive first instinct was to twist his body and try to break free, Jamie, who hit him like a cannonball, took advantage of the situation to pick up the rune sword that Thassarian urgently chopped, and then collided with him! At the same time, the roots that bound Thassarian's legs relaxed a lot as if he was not fully prepared, which made Jamie knock the other party to the ground almost as soon as he made contact with Thassarian.
In the end, Iriel, who arrived almost directly on his hind feet, clasped the Forbidden Demon Shackles infused with holy energy to Thassarian's wrist, imprisoning the death knight's energy extraction. And so a conflict that should not have happened came to an end, and in the final set of cooperation, these four people of different races gave Thassarian the feeling of being as skilled as if they had done this kidnapping business a thousand times, and they were professional traffickers at all! And looking back on the whole process from the confrontation to the end, no one on either side was too seriously injured, except for the fact that the Jira intersection used some "meanness" during the test In addition to the practice, other times it seems that the two sides know each other and are playing a practice match, which is puzzling......
It was getting late, the dim sunlight was fading, and the silver pine forest, which was already a gloomy cloud, was already entering the night just after 4:30 p.m. In the dark distance, where you can't see anything clearly, the faint roar of the wolf makes this forest realm that should be full of life a little bit of vitality.
The four daring adventurers from Anaheim did not choose to retreat in the direction of the Tirisfard glade, but continued to move south with a disheartened Tassarian who had no ability to resist. In the plague area, it gets dark much faster than ever, and everyone knows that it is undoubtedly suicidal to rush to the night in this plague-infected place, so at the strong request of Jamie, a veteran with a lot of experience, the group set up camp on the side of the road.
The warmth of the campfire and a bollard lamp that was brighter than an oil lamp made Sassarian uncomfortable, and he was already a dead creature with an instinctive aversion to all light and light, even if it was just a campfire or a lamp.
Since it was still early, the group sat around the campfire and had just finished eating. Gila hurriedly pulled out the kit and parts kit from his storage backpack and began to tinker with the trial No. 1 machine repair, while Jamie scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about what topic he could use to talk to the quiet lady Velinde, while Irel sat down next to Thassarian with a "kill or slash" expression.
"You don't mind if I'm sitting here, do you?"
Sasarian let out an emotionless voice, "Hmph, you've sat down...... Also, if you want to get a big bounty, kill me with your damn light, and put it away if you don't, it makes me sick. β
Iriel was stunned for a moment, not noticing that the light in her body surged as she approached Thassarian, urging her master to purify the evil as if she were naturally hostile. Then, Irel suppressed the restless Divine Energy in his body and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, and besides, I didn't think about killing you, we were always given the task of bringing someone like you, who already had self-awareness, back to Lordaeron alive." β
Thassarian glared at Irel for 5 seconds, even though he was already a Death Knight, he didn't feel a trace of viciousness from the other party, and that sentence didn't contain any discrimination, sarcasm or sarcasm, she just really thought it was so and honestly expressed what she thought. This is a soul favored by the Light, Thassarian can't help but sigh. But the more he felt that her light was too dazzling, so dazzling that a dead man like him, who was already destined to live in the dark, did not dare to look up.
"Human, alive, you call a corpse like me, awakened by necromancy, a living person? ha...... Alien, your humor is really good, and if I'm still alive maybe I'll treat you to a drink. β
Thassarian's deliberate cool words didn't make Irel back down, but instead made her smile, "That's what you said, but when you get back to Anaheim City, you'll have to follow your Prince Lordaeron's orders before you can get paid for a decent job, and then you can afford to treat me to a drink." β
β...... Here it is again, how many times have I said, don't lie to me with this clumsy lie again, if you want to sell my body to some crazy mage for research, I advise you to stop, the cursed sect back then was such a bunch of inhuman scum! they will destroy everything, destroy Lordan ......" Sassarian, who consciously said the wrong thing, closed his mouth, he didn't know why his heart, which was no longer beating, was now feeling anxious, making him impatient to refute the other party.
He knew that if he didn't refute it, then the meaning of his existence would be gone. Therefore, he must refute, even if he lies to himself, he must be firm in this difficult and lonely path of atonement that he has chosen.
Yes, that's it, an executioner like him, whose hands are full of the blood of his compatriots, deserves nothing but to embrace boundless darkness and eternal loneliness......
But a ray of light came in, tearing open what he thought was a thick and gloomy black veil.
"Before we set off, His Royal Highness told you that your mother, Vivien, and her sister Raresa, are living in Anaheim, and they are doing everything possible to find your whereabouts, and they go to the quest board of the Adventurers' Guild every day to check if anyone has completed the quest to find you...... In the end, they are not afraid to tell you that they know that you are already a Death Knight, but no matter what you become, they are waiting for you to come back. β
Iriel's words were calm but powerful, like an erupting volcano, the churning magma spewed out into the sky, illuminating all directions, and then scattering in all directions, like a torrent, like an avalanche, all the way down inexorably, swallowing up everything that stood in their way, even the dark curtain carefully arranged by Thassarian, and in an instant it was easily disintegrated by the agitated lava......
