Volume 2 Night City Chapter 19 Nana's Mandate (4)

Just as Miria was complaining, the soldiers around her had already rushed up. Seeing this, Blala immediately stepped forward and picked up the battle axe to make a vacancy, and Miria didn't have time to think about anything more, so she immediately took this opportunity to break out of the encirclement and go straight to Ji Huo.

Seeing Miria rushing over, Stone Fist immediately jumped high from his horse and threw his fist at Miria. Miria retreated, her fist slamming into the rocks on the ground, causing the ground to crack. At this moment, Miria swung her long-handled scythe and swept towards the waist of the stone fist. Stonefist raised the gloves of his left arm to block the scythe's attack, and then sprang to Miria and slammed into his right fist. Miria dodges sideways. Unexpectedly, one of the halberds of the surrounding soldiers suddenly stabbed at her, and Miria couldn't dodge, and the clothes on her shoulders were torn open, leaving a shallow blood stain.

"Martial artists?" Miria guessed. Fist of Stone didn't give Miria the slightest respite, and rushed forward quickly, with a pair of hard silver-gray metal gloves, and launched a fierce melee hand-to-hand attack with Miria.

Brala was wielding her red dragon battle axe, rampaging through the ranks of the soldiers, staggering and retreating in their path. However, after all, there were many soldiers, and Blala was not able to spare her hands to support the battle on Milia's side for a while.

Miria fended off the constant attacks of the Stonefist while being wary of the movements of several soldiers around her. Gradually, Stonefist's movements became sluggish, and Miria saw the opportunity, and after dodging a heavy punch attack of Stonefist, she suddenly accelerated and swung her long-handled scythe at him, and Stonefist immediately retreated to dodge. However, it was still a little late, and the sharp scythe with a cold sword aura pierced through the light armor of the stone fist, cutting a long wound on his body, and the hot blood immediately soaked his shirt.

Miria took advantage of the victory to pursue, broke free from the entanglement of several soldiers around her, and rushed towards Stonefist. At this moment, Miria felt the sound of wind above her, and a light red sword slashed towards her, and she hurriedly stopped and raised her long-handled scythe to resist. At the same time, two more halberds poked from the side, and Miria quickly withdrew her scythe, brushed aside the halberd, and flashed aside. Before she could gain a foothold, a blazing fireball struck her. At this point, it was too late to dodge, and Miria shouted in her heart, "It's not good." At this moment, a dark purple fat back appeared in front of Miria's eyes and immediately ate the fireball.

"Just hide here and support." At this time, behind a big tree a little far away from the battlefield, Lin Jing was leaning against the tree and said to herself.

"I can't even deal with two little girls!" Ji Huo rebuked dissatisfiedly. After hearing this, the stone fist beside him gritted his teeth and lowered his head, and his expression of annoyance and anger was overflowing.

"Go and clean up the trash fish in the back, and leave it to me here." Ji Huo commanded to Stone Fist.

"My subordinates will do it." With that, Stone Fist immediately rushed towards Miria's back.

Miria was about to step forward to stop her, but several fireballs fell from the sky to block her path, and Milia had to dodge to the side and let go of the Stone Fist. She had just dodged the attack of the rain of fire when another huge fireball struck her. Miria was about to raise her scythe to block, but the purple monster stepped forward and ate the fireball again.

"This must be the Warlock's Gluttony." Miria thought, "So, Lin Jing should have gone into hiding to support." Thinking of this, Miria quickly glanced around the scene, and because the night was dark, she didn't find Lin Jing's figure. "Forget it, leave her alone."

Just when Miria was thinking about Lin Jing, Ji Huo suddenly rushed up and raised his long sword to sweep towards Milia. Miria hurriedly set up her long-handled scythe and prepared to attack. Unexpectedly, Ji Huo shook his sword, instantly withdrew his long sword, and slashed towards the glutton.

"Oops." Miria shouted in her heart. At the same time, with the slash of the long sword, the greedy demon immediately dissipated without a trace.

Miria also took the opportunity to shorten the distance between her and Ji Huo. She swung her long-handled scythe sharply, flying up and down, slashing at the fire from all directions. Ji Huo retreated again and again under Miria's stormy attack, and there were many scars on his body that had been scratched out because he couldn't dodge.

However, just as Miria gradually gained the upper hand, Ji Huo retreated, and before Miria could catch up, he stretched out his long sword that glowed with a pale red light. In an instant, Miria was surrounded by a blazing flame. "Not good!" Miria shouted in her heart. She hurriedly retreated, fleeing the flames. Although the flames only lasted for a brief moment and did not cause much damage to Miria, Miria's vision had become extremely blurry at this time, and she could barely see her surroundings.

Ji Huo took this opportunity to quickly distance himself from Miria, and a little white mist appeared on his body, which was the breath produced by the flames burning the frost. "I think it's the same as Bella, a flame-based battle mage. However, the difference is that he should focus more on the cultivation of fire spells rather than the attacks of body arts." Miria thought as she covered her eyes with her arms.

Suddenly, Miria felt a rush of heat rushing towards her, but her vision had not yet recovered, and she couldn't determine what kind of attack was coming, so she had to blindly dodge to the side. At this critical moment, another gluttonous demon appeared in front of Miria, and instantly sucked the attacking tongue of fire into her abdomen.

"Bastard!" Ji Huo cursed angrily. Then he immediately looked around, trying to find the man who had summoned the Glutton. But apart from the torches and the sound of fighting near the carriage, there was no light around, and no movement could be heard. For a class that doesn't have any search ability, it's harder to quickly find an enemy to support you than to climb to the sky. So, Ji Huo had no choice but to rush forward with another swing of his sword and wipe out the greedy demon in front of Miria. At this moment, he noticed that the temperature around him had dropped suddenly, and from time to time there was a biting cold wind blowing in the air, and the damp ground was also frozen.

After Miria finished casting the Frost Crystal, she immediately rushed to the nearby Ji Huo with all her might. She wielded her long-handled scythe, slashing at Ji Huo at a frenzier speed than before. Ji Huo was beaten back again and again, and the blood gushing out of his body was almost soaked all over his body. Suddenly, a fiery red glow flashed all over his body, and Miria immediately retreated sharply when he saw this. A huge amount of flame energy erupted around Ji Huo in an instant, and the nearby vehicles and horses were burned up in the blink of an eye. However, the powerful flames only lasted for a short time before dissipating. The moment the flames disappeared, Miria rushed over again, once again appearing in the melee range of Ji Huo.

Ji Huo was surprised by Miria, who dodged his attack and rushed to him again, and hurriedly waved his long sword in response. At this moment, a short spherical demon suddenly rushed in front of him, obscuring his vision at once. He hurriedly struck the demon with his arm. The moment the demon touched Ji Huo's arm, it turned into a piece of purple powder and stuck to Ji Huo's body, making him feel paralyzed immediately. At this time, Miria's long-handled scythe had already roared, slamming Ji Huo's long sword out of the air, and Ji Huo also staggered and fell to the ground. Miria hurriedly stepped forward, stepped on Ji Huo's chest, and pressed the long-handled scythe against his neck, ending the fight. At this time, dozens of centipede-like demons quickly crawled from all directions, entangled Ji Huo tightly, making him unable to move anymore.

Then, Brala also walked over from behind with the scarred and unconscious Stone Fist, threw him next to Ji Huo, and let the centipede-like demon entangle the Stone Fist together. The corpses of a dozen or so soldiers lay all around, and the rest of the soldiers were long gone. Lin Jing also slowly walked over from the bushes not far away at this time.

"I thought you had escaped." Miria complained.

"I'm not a combat type of class." Lin Jing explained expressionlessly.

At this time, Youjiali and Li Yaqi also rode over. Looking at the corpse-strewn battlefield, Yugari first examined Miria and her wounds, performed some simple treatments, and then explained to them the situation in the laboratory.

"That's pretty bad." Miria said embarrassedly, "Then the clue to continue the investigation will be broken." ”

"Don't they know?" Li Yaqi pointed to Ji Huo and Stone Fist who were wrapped around the ground and said.

"They're supposed to be only in charge of trading goods on the guild's side." Miria frowned and explained, "Maybe their guild leader knows more, but the Guild Alliance should personally investigate these things, and it's unlikely that we will ask about it." If we can catch the important people on the side of the revolutionary army, we should be able to ask for more information. ”

"That's right. Isn't there a better way to continue the investigation now? Can we only wait for news from the Guild Alliance? Eugari asked.

"I think that's all I have to say."

After listening to Miria's answer, Yugari said helplessly, "Okay then. It's getting late, so let's go back and finish the matter entrusted to us at Treasure Bay. ”

"That's the way it goes."

"I'm going back to Starlis, and by the way, I'll hand these two guys over to the Guild Alliance there." Lin Jing said.

"That's true, but doesn't it matter if you go alone?" Yugari asked worriedly.

"It's okay, my previous magic curse is completely gone. It's time for me to go back, too. These two guys won't be able to recover for a while, and I'll be on my own. Lin Jing replied.

"Then I'm bothering you." "We'll see you in Starlis when we have the chance." ”

Lin Jing nodded, drove a remnant carriage, pulled the two people who were entangled by centipede-like demons, and drove in the direction of Starlis.

"Let's go back too." After Lin Jing left, Youjiali said, "I've been running around for a day, and it's already the middle of the night, let's go back and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." With that, everyone turned on their horses and galloped all the way back to the inn in Jumbo Bay.

The next morning, when everyone was having breakfast in the restaurant, Li Yaqi asked, "What should I do after that?" Is the commission completed? ”

"I guess so." "Still, I think we should get rid of that werewolf." Otherwise, he will infect others. ”

"Can't you recover?" Yugari asked, "I mean revert him to a human." ”

"I guess I can't help it......" Miria replied.

"And what if you just dispelled his curse?" Yugari asked further.

"Still can't do it." Miria explained, "This effect should be constantly coming out of his body, so ......"

"That's it." Yujiali said in embarrassment, "How can I talk to Sister Nana about this......"

"Let's go find the werewolf first, in case there's anything new." Miria suggested.

"That's fine." "Then I'll go with Yaqi to the forest to find the werewolf, and you should stay in the village in case he runs back to the village." Miria and Brala are here to take a break, you haven't been sleeping well lately. ”

"Don't want it!" Miria said dissatisfied, "I'm going with you too." ”

"But......" said Yugari worriedly, "the werewolf still has the effect of infection, and it is very dangerous for you to go to the ......."

"It's fine. It's okay if I don't come close. Miria said, "Anyway, let's go together." ”

"I really can't help you......" Yugari said helplessly, "And so is Blala?" Eucaria asked, looking at Blala.

"I protect the eldest lady." Blana replied calmly.

"Okay. Let's go together. So they hurried out of the inn after breakfast. Konya came to the village and lay down on the roof of Nana's house and set up a sentry. The others followed Yugari into the forest and began to search for the werewolf's whereabouts.

"I remember when he ran away from the field, it was indeed in this direction." Li Yaqi looked around and said, "Strange. After walking so far, no werewolf has been detected in a large area. Did he run this far? ”

"There's a cave over there." Miria said, pointing to an inconspicuous cave in front of her.

"There shouldn't be anyone inside." Li Yaqi said affirmatively, "To be precise, there shouldn't even be a decent animal." ”

"Then let's go in and have a look. What if there are any clues? With that, Yujali led everyone into the cave. The farther inside, the dimmer the light became, and Yugari summoned a staff and cast several light sources.

"There!" As the light source appeared, Miria suddenly pointed ahead and shouted. Looking in the direction of her finger, a werewolf was lying in the corner of the cave, covered in blood.

"Miria, you wait. I'll go check with Yaqi. With that, Yujiali ran to the werewolf with Li Yaqi. Yujari first confirmed that the werewolf was the one they were looking for, and then carefully checked the werewolf's condition. "The blood on my body has been coagulated for a long time, so I guess I've been dead for a long time. The magic curse effect has also disappeared.'" Thinking of this, Yugari nodded to Miria behind her, indicating that they were all right.

Miria then walked over with Blala, carefully examined the werewolf's corpse, and said, "It seems that the internal organs were ruptured and died." It should be that the research was not completely successful, and there were only a few days of vitality. ”

"In that case, we can go back." Li Yaqi said casually.

Yugari took a closer look at the cave, and there were some small animal carcasses left around, which should have been eaten by werewolves. There were many deep claw marks left on the stone wall, which should have been vented by him when he was in pain. In the far corner there was some tattered clothing, probably the one he wore before he turned into a werewolf.

"Let's go. Don't look at it. Miria stepped forward and gently pulled Eugari down. Yugari slowly turned around and followed everyone towards the village.

After returning to the village, Yugari explained the investigation to Nana in detail. Of course, she didn't mention anything about the Guild and the Revolutionary Army. Nana was devastated when she learned that her husband had died. With the comfort of Eugari and Miria, it took a long time for her mood to gradually stabilize.

After that, Yugari and the others accompanied Nana to the werewolf's cave again. Nana put away her husband's clothes, and Yugari helped Nana carry the werewolf's body back to the village, bury it in her backyard, and set up a simple tombstone. After all this was taken care of, Yugari and the others said goodbye to Nana. On the way back to the inn, they also visited other villagers in the village, learned some information about the corners, and then visited Lee Sun-eun, who was still being treated in the temple, and finally submitted a report to the Guild Alliance to complete the commission.

"I've been tossing for so long, so I'll pay you this little." Li Yaqi complained.

"I can't help it. Didn't you know that the pay was meager from the beginning? Matters involving the guild and the revolutionary army can't be announced casually, so the Li family's commission is not completed. Don't worry about it. Eugari explained.

"We're going to be around the city for a few days starting tomorrow and waiting for the auction to open, right?" Miria suggested excitedly.

"Okay!" Yujiali happily responded, "I happened to pass by a very distinctive clothing store before, let's go and see it tomorrow." ”

"Don't." Brala said unhappily.

In this way, everyone successfully completed Nana's commission, and while chatting about their future plans, they walked easily in the direction of the inn.

After that, the guild federation's commission records are roughly described as follows:

Ms. Nana's commission. Ms. Nana's husband, Chen Shen, has gone to Li Shan's house (a villa in the suburbs) many times to communicate because of the drowning of his daughter Chen Mengmeng. On the last way there, he died in the mountains and forests due to a sudden emergency. Later, the Traveling Guild's Youjiali, Li Yaqi, Conya, Miria, and Blala found and assisted Ms. Nana in burying the body. So far, the commission has been successfully completed.
