Chapter 163: Rest and Recuperation (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
At the same time, they also brought some cultists, which is not very good. Although they didn't enter the valley to reconnoiter in order not to startle the snakes, but as far as they observed, the total number of cultists was about 100, and there was no way to distinguish the specific occupations.www.biquge.info
"100 people, these guys are really bold, they actually sent such a few people to guard the supplies, they are not afraid that the ogre will serve them in a pot? Or are they sure they can hold down the ogres? β
Ogres are not a good race, and you have to be very careful when you are neighbors with them, if you are not good, you may be eaten by ogres as snacks. Those cultists can live so arrogantly not far from the ogre, then they must be sure to suppress the ogre, otherwise that group of people will all be stupid.
"Oh, and besides, we haven't found any ogres near the valley, at least within a radius of ten miles, let alone ogres, not even monsters." The returning loiterers continue to report.
"Oh? It seems that this group is indeed guarding against the ogre, and the ogre is not allowed to approach, and they did not directly hand over the materials to the ogre, it seems that the ogre is not completely controlled by them. But that's fine, if we don't have these ogres, it's good for us. β
Although Solam didn't know what the relationship between those ogres and these cultists was, he at least knew that this group of guys was definitely not intimate.
"What should we do?" Bob, who had been listening from the sidelines, asked.
"Let's rest for the night first, if we really rush over like we are now, it will definitely be looking for death." Solam didn't rush to fight, these people, these days, haven't had much rest, they are tired like dogs, they really rush up, it's really hard to say how much combat power they can have.
"Besides, those guys won't leave right away, what's the hurry?"
"But there are enemies all over here, is it okay for us to do this?" Bob was still a little worried, it wasn't that he didn't want to rest, but they were right next to the enemy camp, and it would be too dangerous to really rest here.
"Well, what you said makes sense, but it's okay, I've already made arrangements." Solam, of course, knew about the problem, so he had already sent people out to find a place to camp.
A short time later, another group of adventurers returned. Instead, they found a very secluded campsite, not too far from here, and close to the Cultist Valley. It's just a bit of a hassle. Because it was a cave, and it was a cave in a section of the mountain wall, 10 to 13 meters above the ground, it was a ranger who ran up to a tree to observe the terrain and accidentally saw it.
It is believed that even if the cultists could patrol, they would not easily discover this cave, which is quite excellent in terms of concealment.
They also took a lot of effort to climb up with hook claws, looked at the situation, and found that this cave, the entrance of the cave is not big, but the space inside is not small, and because it is in a high place, where the ventilation is very good, the inside is very dry, and there is no peculiar smell, it seems that there are no strange animals running into it recently.
Of course, this kind of excellent camping site could not be missed, so everyone soon came to the bottom of this cave. Solam found that this place was indeed very hidden, and when he looked from all directions below, he could only see a rock that was protruding quickly, and it was impossible to notice that there was a cave above.
So everyone quickly climbed up, but there was a problem, what about Lisa and Frostfang? They didn't have the ability to fly on walls, and in the end, it was Solam who took a shot and brought them to the hole one at a time with a shelter pendant.
When the people were settled, the priest and all the rangers and wanderers were put to sleep, and the rest was left to Thoram and the warriors and knights. For he wanted them to recuperate, and then go out into the night to investigate the cultists' patrol routes, and if he could, he hoped that they would find out what the cultists were doing.
Soram and the others first used a blanket to block the hole to shield them from the wind and prevent the fire from being exposed, which also reduced the chance of being discovered by the enemy.
After eating and drinking, Soram volunteered to take on the duty of watching the wind, so that the others could sleep first. In the evening, Solam woke up the wanderers and rangers who had been sleeping all afternoon, and asked them to reconnoiter the enemy, and repeatedly emphasized that it didn't matter if they couldn't detect the intelligence, but they couldn't expose it, otherwise it would arouse the vigilance of those enemies.
When they all slipped down the rope, Solam sat alone on the protruding rock at the entrance of the cave, thinking carefully about what to do with the operation. In fact, it is not difficult to set fire to those materials, after all, they are all good hands on their side, plus four priests, it is easy to kill people and set fire to something.
It's just that the situation after that is a bit more difficult, more than 100 cultists, and ogres not far away, no matter what kind of gap they have, it is estimated that they will not let go of their group of troublemakers and uninvited guests.
Even if they were lucky enough to run out of the valley, how did they escape from the forest? In the forest, they couldn't possibly deal with so many monsters.
Solam himself could have escaped with runestones, but what about the others? He's the leader of the team, and no matter what, Soram has to find a way to give them a chance to survive.
"Looks like that's the only way to go, I wonder how those guys are doing now?" Just as Soram was talking to herself, Christie and another priestess came out and heard it.
The priestess named Liya asked curiously, "Do you need that?" What's that? And who are those guys? β
Liya is the priest of the goddess of sprouts, and she is actually in her thirties, but this woman is very tender, as far as her face is concerned, some people believe that she is 16 years old, this guy is born with a baby face, and a pair of small tiger teeth, small and lovely, which makes people feel young and invincible at a glance, but she is indeed a woman in her thirties, in fact, she is married, but her husband died a few years ago, and it seems that he is still a nobleman.
Only Solam knew that this guy's figure was very hers, but she was very old, but she usually wore a wide priest's uniform, so she couldn't see it. Speaking of which, Solam felt that the designers who designed the priest's uniform should be burned at the stake, what the hell is going on, wearing that dress doesn't show his figure at all.
Soram remembers that when she told everyone about her age, almost all the men were shocked, they really didn't know that a young woman in her thirties could look like this. I don't know if it's born from the heart, this guy is also a naΓ―ve and romantic style on weekdays, and he is straightforward about what to say, and he doesn't seem to have any city, and he is the best person among all the priests.
"It's nothing, I'm talking to myself, I think of my hometown." Solam casually perfunctory the two of them, among these priests, Solam and Leah have the best relationship, although Christie has known each other for a long time, but Christie is not interesting, and Soram always feels very boring to chat with her.
But this Liya is very interesting, I didn't say it when I was unhappy with Soram before, since the voyeur incident, Solam and this female pastor usually make a few obscure meat jokes with her, she can get a good laugh, maybe because she was married, she can be very generous to return to Solam. From time to time, Soram stuck some oil at her, and she was not angry, and sometimes she would deliberately give a small benefit.
If it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, Solam would definitely be able to hook up with her, after all, the teachings of the Goddess of Sprouts have no restrictions on the private lives of believers, although this goddess is a rare cleansing faction among goddesses, but she is not interested in the private lives of believers.
"Speaking of which, Solam, where is your hometown? I've never heard you say that. Riya asked with interest when she heard Soram talk about her hometown.
"My hometown, that's far away, it took me a long time to get out of my hometown." Solam didn't answer Leah's question directly, how could he casually tell someone about Avalon's location?
"And where is your hometown?"
"On the other side of the mountain, I can't tell you where it is." Solam grabbed Liya's face and pinched it hard. It was rude to do so, but Soram couldn't help but want to pinch it when he saw her baby face. You said that a person in his thirties actually has baby fat, who believes it, but Liya is so unscientific.
"Don't pinch it, I said, why do you like to pinch my face so much?" It's more than thirty people, who likes to be treated like a child, Liya doesn't like others to pinch her face.
"Then where do you think I can pinch it?" Solam said, spreading his hands.
"You can pinch anything but your face!" Liya said very heroically, she knew that Solam had something to say just now, but Liya was really not afraid of this, just talking meat, who was afraid of whom.
"Liya!" Christie couldn't stand the dog man and woman anymore, and immediately scolded. To be honest, these days, Christie has been planning to have a good relationship with Solam, but helplessly, she found that she really couldn't stand Solam's rude way of speaking, and Soram didn't like her preaching, so the relationship between them has been lukewarm.
Now she was afraid that Soram would be pulled away by other temples, and her biggest opponent was Liya.
The teachings of the Radiant Church, Solam has never been of much interest. Jora, the pastor of the Radiant Church, is a tactful and elegant woman, but as long as she talks to Soram about the teachings, Soram makes excuses.
And the pastor of the Silver Moon Church is called Elena, and many of the teachings of this church are applicable to women, and they are not attractive to Solam, and Elena rarely talks about the doctrines with Solam, maybe she thinks that a rough man like Soram with hormones should not have any interest in the Silver Moon Church.
So Christie's biggest enemy is Leah, especially after Leah and Soram are a little ambiguous, Christie feels even more helpless. There is no way, Christie can only follow Lia from time to time, not wanting anything to happen between them, in order to prevent Solam from being pulled by her to the Sprout Church, fortunately, Liya doesn't seem to know the strangeness of Solam, and she is not interested in pulling him into the church, she is just flirting with him.
