After taking Levi to the temple, Mina hurried away.

The saint looked at Mina's back with some suspicion, she had long known that her outstanding disciple would always blush a little when she met men because she rarely had contact with men.

Although she was aware of this problem and began to gradually let her come into contact with other people, she was still reluctant to leave this temple, and just stayed in the temple to practice and pray devoutly, until recently, with the arrival of the Chosen Hero Levi, this situation slowly changed a little, but for the first time, she saw that the other party even had a red neck.

What exactly did Levi say to her? This guy wouldn't want to kidnap another of my outstanding disciples, would he?

The saint immediately raised her inner vigilance: unlike Hua Meisi, who was gifted but always dreamed of becoming a knight, Mina had always been concentrating on this path, and although she was not necessarily her gifted disciple, she must have worked the hardest on this path, and was destined to be the most outstanding disciple!

You can't just let Levi kidnap her too!

However, seeing that her sister was also present, and her eyes were constantly wandering, the saint still did not mention this matter, but said lightly: "You are here, Levi." ”

"I've seen the Holy Maiden, and this is...

After greeting the saint, Levi's gaze involuntarily shifted to a woman beside her who was also dressed in white.

Mina was right, they were dressed very similarly, and their looks were also very good, but this newly-appeared, suspected of being a saint of the Duchy of Bastogne, was slightly more ornate in her dress, decorated with some shiny gold threads on her white robe and boots, and occasionally a few very girly ornaments, which looked more advanced.

And unlike the saintess of Oak Village, who could not accurately tell the age, this new woman seemed to be about the same age as Levi, and should be about twenty years old, and she was looking at Levi with a smile at the moment, not at all as cold as the saint of Oak Village.

Of course, the saint also noticed Levi's strange appearance, and she couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart, after so many years, Elsa is still more popular with men than herself, although she doesn't need this kind of thing at all, but she is still a little unhappy in her heart.

"This is the prophet of the lake god from the Duchy of Bastogne, and my closest sister Elsa."

Not a saint? Rather, the prophet of the god of the lake? Is it the same devotee of the goddess of the lake? I don't know who will be higher than the saint?

Although the thought was swirling in his heart, Levi still saluted the other party: "I have seen the prophet. ”

Lake God Prophet Elsa smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, Levi, don't be so polite, I've heard Hilda talk about you several times, and I've heard about the Chosen Hero from Lord Bohammond several times, but this is the first time I've seen it in person." ”

While smiling, Elsa looked Levi up and down, "It doesn't look any different from those apprentice knights in the dukedom." ”

Levi's heart moved, Hilda, is this the real name of the Oak Village Saintess, he really didn't know this before, because even Wallace or the captain of the garrison, Cam, had never told him this.

As for the name Bohamund, Levi knew a lot, because he had heard Hilda's Holy Maiden say it, and Wallamis had also mentioned it, it was the Duke of Bastogne, known as the Beast Slayer of the Knights of the Knighthood of Bretonnia, one of the strongest contemporary Holy Grail Knights in the Knightly Kingdom of Bretonia.

Of course, Levi had heard of another, less urbane and less respectful name, Bohammond the Beast Butcher.

But no matter what, no one ever questioned his strength, because the title itself represented his strength, and he slaughtered not only wild beasts, but also several real dragons.

The saint glanced at her sister angrily, "Alright, Levi, now you know, my name is Hilda, but I don't want too many people to know it. ”

The saintess seemed to have something difficult to say, but she didn't mean to say much, but changed her voice and talked about the topic this time: "Levi, the scout has come to report, we have three field patrols in the direction of the White River have lost contact, the scout only found some bloodstains, slime, and fish scales in the same place, and the perpetrator is undoubtedly from the fish-man tribe in the White River. ”

Levi's face immediately became serious, he also knew about the patrol, which the Holy Maiden had recently set up.

Those patrols are actually to play an early warning role, and their combat effectiveness is actually very weak, and there are only a few second-order troops in them, but they are all fast and flexible, just to facilitate escape, so as to convey information to Oak Village in a timely manner.

If they are bent on escaping, according to the fishmen that Levi has come into contact with before, those ordinary White River fishmen, even the warriors among them, will not be able to catch up with them on land, even if they are that kind of shark people, it is difficult to kill the entire patrol team that escapes with all their strength alone, there must be a stronger class!

Levi couldn't help but ask, "Is there a new class?" ”

Hilda Saintess shook her head: "We don't know yet, at least the scouts haven't found it, so we need Levi to find out for yourself whether a new fish-man class has appeared, or if the number of shark-people is now more amazing." ”

All the information that Levi knew before had been reported to her, but there was definitely no ordinary fishman of this speed in it, so even the saint couldn't help but be cautious. If a new class appears, it's fine, but if a large number of shark people suddenly appear, it's very bad for Oak Village.

That kind of shark-man is not an ordinary cannon fodder class, it is impossible to create it out of thin air, either the fish-man tribe has received new support, or they have been hiding their strength before, but either way, this is not a good thing for Oak Village, let alone a situation that Hilda Holy Maiden wants to see.

Levi nodded with a somewhat serious face: "I know, Holy Maiden Hilda, I will set off immediately and go to Baihe to investigate information." ”

Holy Maiden Hilda nodded: "Well, stay safe, and don't forget the thing I reminded you before, you can finish it as soon as possible, reinforcements from the Dukedom of Bastogne are coming, don't miss this opportunity." ”

Levi nodded again, indicating that he understood, but he was actually a little confused in his heart: reinforcements are coming, I already know this, what reminds me of is that I should become a ranger knight as soon as possible?

But were these two things related before? Isn't it possible that you're going to help with the good things that can only be shared by Ranger Knights, and then you'll give me some too? You might want to think about it.

However, he did not forget the reason why he hurried back to Oak Village yesterday: "By the way, Lord Saint, I also want to ask you for help with something, I brought back a hunter from Oxhorn Village yesterday, he was forcibly poured with a bottle of evil potion, he will uncontrollably transform into a werewolf after being strongly stimulated by the outside world, Huamez has used his strength to temporarily restrain him before, but I think it is safer for you to see for yourself." ”

"Transform into a werewolf? It looks like the handiwork of those beastmen. Hilda was thoughtful, and then she nodded faintly, "Bring him here, let me have a look." ”

Looking at the appearance of the Holy Maiden of Hilda, obviously not paying too much attention to it, Levi knew that this should not be a big deal for her, Levi was relieved, and after saluting the two of them again, Levi took his leave, or go to the White River to see what the situation was, it is best not to affect his plan.

Seeing Levi walk out of the temple, the lake god prophet Elsa looked at her sister with a smile: "Hilda, what are your plans?" She knew that although her sister always looked plain, she was very careful, and her words were definitely not casual.

Hilda's holy daughter glanced at her sister a little helplessly, and wanted to let the other party restrain her attitude, but she also knew that the other party definitely didn't mean to behave like that, it was just her nature, so she finally gave up.

"Well, you know that there aren't any official knights in Oak Village yet, but it won't be there forever, and I don't want to ask Gisoris in the future."

"Oh, you mean?" The eyes of the lake god prophet Elsa suddenly lit up, because she understood the subtext of the other party, according to the laws and rules of the knight kingdom, low-level knights need to be awarded titles by high-level knights, as well as high-level members of the Lake God Sect, and this time among Bastogne's reinforcements, there is no shortage of high-level knights.

"Hehehe, sister, you really know how to calculate them."

"Heh, it's nothing, anyway, Levi's will definitely not be limited to his current state in the future, and they will hold the ceremony, and they will definitely not be embarrassed in the future. . . ."

After bidding farewell to the Holy Maiden of Hilda, Levi returned to the tavern to gather his men and headed straight in the direction of the White River.

Although I also encountered a few beastmen on the way, but under the charge of Levi and Wallames, these low-level beastmen were directly scattered in a small formation, and the Moorish knight Tanato, who was behind, took the opportunity to take the lead in attacking, basically solving them in one round, and it didn't take much time at all.

After approaching the White River, Levi finally realized the seriousness of the problem, whether it was him or Hilda, they all far underestimated the threat of the fishmen, they were really going to make a big move this time, because Levi saw the watchtower under construction on the bank, and there was a huge circular building, which looked like the altar that Levi had seen in the fish-man tribe before!

And unlike the wooden watchtower in Oak Village, the material used for the construction of the fish people is a kind of coral, which looks much stronger than the wooden material. It's clear that they're not content to just stay in the water, they're starting to encroach on the land!

On the periphery of the watchtower, there were also patrols, in addition to the ordinary White River Fishmen and White River Fishmen warriors, there were also a kind of fishmen who looked very thin and had dull blue-black scales, and a kind of fishmen with five or six short spears on their backs.

These fish-men formed a small team, patrolling the banks of the White River non-stop, and even occasionally shark-people were mixed in.

But the most conspicuous thing was a group of enemies above a reef: it was a half-human, half-snake female Naga that Levi had seen in the fish-man village, but unlike the four-armed Naga, this Naga had only two arms, and instead of a staff or bow and arrow, it was a pair of aqua-blue short swords, which appeared to be an agile enemy.

But despite this, this is definitely not an enemy that Levi and they can challenge.

Because unlike those monsters that have spawned in the wild, these fish-people are essentially the same type as the soldiers in Oak Village, and they are also aborigines with their own intelligence, and in terms of external performance, it is likely that as soon as Levi appears, he will be besieged by all of them, just like what Levi encountered in the fish-man tribe in the first place!

Levi turned his head to look at his men and saw that they were all looking at him, waiting for his orders. Thankfully, there's a forest here that allows them to hide, otherwise they'd definitely not be as laid-back as they are now.

Although he was not reconciled, because with the continuous expansion of the fish people, the flowing water altar in the river was probably discovered by them soon, and the fortune plan that Levi had finally come up with was about to be shattered before it was officially launched.

But Levi finally waved his hand: "Retreat, return to Oak Village, there is no need to fight now, the time is not ripe." ”

Hilda's Saintess only asked him to find out the information, but she didn't let him kill all the fishmen, and this was also unrealistic, his small army was far from that strong. Moreover, after the recent battles, his small unit has also lost some of its combat effectiveness, and it has not yet had time to fully replenish it.

"Yes, sir." Although the Moorish knight Tanato was also unwilling, because retreating without a fight would damage the knight's honor, he was not the kind of reckless person who only knew how to do brute force, and he still retreated with Levi. As for the others, they had long been accustomed to obeying Levi's commands.

"Huh?" Levi suddenly looked at a large tree in the southwest, and the familiar feeling of being watched came back to him, "What person?!" ”

Hearing Levi's question, Hua Meisi seemed to have suddenly discovered something, she immediately held a spear in her hand and drove Xiaobai to take a few steps forward: "Who is there?!" She also felt a sense of incongruity.

But the forest was silent at the moment, and Levi received no response.

Levi sneered, he waved his hand silently, and the Moorish knight Tanatoe suddenly understood, and he immediately led a team of swordsmen to hurry forward, compared to those halberders with long halberds, these relatively agile swordsmen were more suitable for fighting in the forest.

The branches of several big trees immediately trembled, and then a thin girl with long bright black hair and a black cloak on her back jumped down from the tree first: "My lord, please wait a minute, we have no malicious intentions!" ”

As she moved, more than a dozen girls armed with bows and arrows, dressed similarly to her, but without cloaks behind them, jumped down from the trees one after another, looking at Levi with some vigilance.

Livingston felt a light in his eyes, because these girls looked like they were all above average, and they could be called a team of beautiful women, especially the girl with the cloak on her back. It's just that Levi found that in addition to the thick vigilance in the eyes they looked at him, there seemed to be some timidity hidden in the depths.

And although their faces and figures are excellent, their equipment and clothing are not very good, not to mention a thin layer of leather armor, some of the clothes even look a little shabby, and the whole team seems to be a little embarrassed, not like they are tracking themselves, but more like they are fleeing.

Wait, this dress...

Levi seemed to have the impression that this was the group he had seen during his encounter with the king of the swamp people, but there were far more of them than they were now, and if memory serves, they were all half-elves, which would explain why they were so wary of themselves.

But timidity ...

Levi stopped the Moorish knight Thanato, and did not let him go any closer, because he could see that the half-elf girls did not seem to have any ill will towards him, but were very afraid that his group would be unfavorable to them.

"Hello, Miss, I'm Levi, the Chosen Hero from Oak Village, can you explain why you're quietly following us? And if I'm not misjudged, you've been doing this since yesterday, right? ”

The half-elf girls suddenly stirred, but no one of them spoke, just looked at the half-elf girl led by them.

The half-elf girl, who looked like a leader, bit her cherry lip slightly, "I'm very sorry, my lord, to meet you in this way, but I'm here to express my gratitude." ”

"Thanks? For us? ”

Levi pretended to be puzzled, but in fact, he had already affirmed his previous thoughts in his heart, these half-elf girls were indeed the ones he had encountered before, but now the half-elf leader was gone.

The half-elf looked at the many humans around him, and finally made up his mind: "Yes, my lord, we are here to thank you for your rescue on the outskirts of the Sweetwater Swamp, if you don't dislike it, we are willing to be under your protection and become a sharp arrow in your hands!" ”

The system's prompt immediately popped up: "Because of your previous performance, the survivors of the Half-Elf Raven Clan are willing to join you and become your subordinates, and in return, you need to shelter them from the enemy and pay a certain settlement fee." ”
