Chapter 17: The Legend of Sauron
As soon as he heard that he was going to split up, the young paladin immediately wanted to raise an objection.
But at this time, the girl priest glanced at him and said in a condensed voice: "Okay." That's it. The two of you together, Deno, you follow Ranster. I'm with Sauron. ”
The paladin opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the seasoned thief next to him.
He seemed to have guessed a little bit of Sauron's identity, in fact the seasoned thief had seen Sauron's scimitar several times along the way, and as a wanderer, he knew a little bit about the legends of his profession. Yesterday, he followed Sauron all day, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Sauron was the legendary [Decapitator], the most powerful pirate king on the South Coast!
For this Cun Zài, the outside world has mixed reviews, some people think that he is a character like a hero, and some people think that he is too ruthless.
But there is no doubt that anyone who angers the beheader will end badly.
If the man in front of them is really the most powerful pirate king on the South Coast, Sauron, then they had better completely follow each other's arrangement, because compared to this rapidly rising legend, they are nothing more than a group of third-rate adventurers. The seasoned wanderer still trusted his own vision, and according to his judgment, there was an eighty percent chance that the other party would be the pirate king on the south coast.
In fact.
He was not the only one who guessed this, but the young pastor also guessed a little bit in his heart.
It's just that she didn't ask, because the time was not right.
The group quickly split up, Sauron and the young priest entering from the other side, and the others entering the town in groups. The goal of two people acting together is much smaller, and the vigilance of foreign adventurers in this era is still very strong, and a team of more than five people can easily attract the attention of those who have a heart. The two of them easily entered the town, and then came to the inn here, where the young priest remained silent all the time. The expression is a little complicated.
Yes.
She also had mixed things in her mind.
Back then, she looked down on Sauron a little, not that Sauron hated it, but she liked Vivien very much, and thought that a petty theft like Sauron couldn't get on the table, and in the end she couldn't give Vivian a good enough life. Then, she kindly offered Vivien to become a priest, and found a way to help Sauron find a job and get him to a more decent job.
Unfortunately, Sauron rejected her without hesitation.
In the eyes of the teenage priest of the time, Sauron was undoubtedly very ignorant of exaltation.
But time has proven that she was wrong.
Look at Sauron's current strength. As well as the equipment on her body, the majesty shown by her every move, all of them told her that the thief who couldn't get on the stage in the past was no longer what it used to be.
Not only has he become a powerhouse in the realm of legends, but he may even be a figure who will tremble when he stomps on the south coast!
For better or worse, Sauron's achievements were beyond her imagination.
The young priest had a lot of things in her mind, and after there was no one else nearby, she finally mustered up the courage and said, "Sauron. Is that guy on the South Coast really you? I always thought it was just the same name! ……”
Sauron didn't answer, just nodded slightly.
The young pastor was shaken and finally got an answer. But the shock in my heart was not small at all.
How much time has this been?
From the catastrophe in Amber City to the present, she has embarked on an adventurous career because of the destruction of the original temple, thinking that she has made progress fast enough, but now she has only just become an official priest. Sauron has become the legendary most powerful pirate king on the South Coast.
She suddenly had a feeling that her fate was unpredictable!
"Come along."
Sauron glanced at the people near the hotel, then grabbed the young priest behind him and led her into an alley.
The girl priest Bai Sheng's little hand was slightly stunned when he grabbed it, but quickly reacted and said, "Found those eyeless ones?" Where are they? ”
"It's not." Sauron shook his head. In a deep voice, "There are vampires here!" ”
Bloodsucker?
The young priest looked a little stunned and muttered, "Vampires? Have they made it this far? ”
Sauron's senses were keen.
As a top wanderer in the gray realm, he also knows a lot about dark creatures. Just by glancing at the inn, he noticed that one or two people were in a strange state, their skin was too pale, and as the inhabitants of a town of this size, these people had to toil every day. It is difficult for people who have worked for a long time to be too pale like them, and these people still look quite strong, and their breathing is very weak, not as strong as ordinary people, and Sauron's strong observation ability can find that the rise and fall of their chests is significantly lower than that of ordinary people, only about one-third of the strength of ordinary people's breathing.
Normal people breathe like this, it is estimated that they will be a little hypoxic!
Their vampires.
And it should be a vampire slave who has just been transformed, and he doesn't know how to disguise himself to make himself look more like an ordinary person.
"Vampire gods?"
Sauron's brows couldn't help frowning, and he secretly said in his heart, "His power has grown so fast? actually developed the minions to such a remote place. ”
"That's not right!"
"The more prosperous the place, the more powerful the church organization, and these relatively remote towns are the places where he can easily take advantage of them."
The bustling church with the gods is divided, and the vampire gods are not easy to enter.
In other words, these more remote towns are weakly defended, and they can easily be infiltrated by vampires, who then gradually spread their beliefs and expand the number of followers of the vampire gods.
"What now?" The teenage priest looked at him and asked.
Sauron glanced around, pulled her on, and said in a deep voice: "Find a place to spend the night first, vampires like to act at night, I'll follow them to see what I can find, if the Eyeless also come here, they will definitely have some intersection." ”
The forces of the vampire gods must be suppressed.
The news that Sauron has collected recently has not been very good for him in all aspects, especially the growth of the vampire gods, which makes Sauron feel deeply threatened.
"Okay." The young priest nodded.
………………
The other side.
The group that had split up was also preparing to go around to the other side and enter Dead Leaf Town.
"What!?"
The paladin had a look of surprise on his face and muttered, "You said he was the legendary decapitator, Sauron?" How could Anria possibly know him? ”
When he heard his companion tell Sauron's true identity, even as a holy warrior, he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat break out on his back.
That's the most ruthless pirate king in rumors!
He may not have been cruel, but his style of action was extremely ruthless, and it is said that thousands of people died at his hands.
Paladins aren't idiots either.
There are so many evil deeds in this world, it is difficult for them to control it at all, so the dogma of the holy warriors also has a warning not to act blindly.
I don't know Sauron's identity, maybe he still dares to fight, but after understanding Sauron's identity, he doesn't have a trace of desire to fight.
Because it's not an opponent at all!
He even knew exactly what kind of disaster he would bring to the adventurer squad if he angered the legendary pirate king.
"It should be him."
The seasoned wanderer had a good attitude towards Sauron, and even had a bit of admiration, and said in a deep voice, "He is worthy of being one of the strongest loiters in the legend!" Become the most powerful pirate king on the South Coast in just a few months! His strength can be said to be unfathomable, and he didn't exert any strength at all when he started fighting you! ”
Wanderers rarely produce heroic figures.
Mainly because loiters have little advantage in head-on combat, and their fighting style is used to assassination, espionage, sneak attacks, etc., so most loiters like to hide behind the scenes, so that they feel more secure.
Sauron was definitely an accident!
Few wanderers have appeared in the last few centuries as a wandering swordsman with a similar style of hard-hitting combat, like the protagonist of a troubadour's anecdotal tale.
In fact.
The story of the rise of the evil pirate king, based on Sauron, has appeared in the troubadour's mouth, but most of them are negative, and people regard him as one of the most feared pirate kings of this era!
The troubadour is not so bored as to speak of a pirate king as a legendary hero, and people are afraid to learn more about him.
But this is not the case with the Wanderer.
There are also legendary powerhouses among the wanderers, but many of them don't show up at all, or they are characters who don't see the head and end of the dragon, but they just leave some legendary names.
This is also good for their safety.
Sauron was the only legendary wanderer standing on the table as the head of a faction, and even an organization like the Shadow Thief that had been passed down for many years would not have the head of the faction as blatantly known to others as he did.
Basically.
Nearly half of the world's wanderers have heard of him, and many of them have high regard for him.
Because the concept of good and evil of wanderers is weak, many wanderers started as thieves, and there is even a legend that this decapitator, Sauron, was only an inconspicuous thief in the past.
The wanderers are more optimistic about the rising figures within the profession.
So Sauron's prestige within the Wanderers is high!
"Wait!"
The sophisticated wanderer who had walked in front suddenly stopped, and then walked quickly to a cemetery, and said in a deep voice: "Look at these graves! The tombstone has been erected for a long time, but the soil has recently been newly turned. ”
Hearing his words, the others immediately woke up and walked quickly to this cemetery.
