Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Encounter

Heru, Kingdom of Tallinn.

On February 16, 600 in the year 600 of the Misty Calendar, a full month has passed since the Nagfar sank on the River Styx and Nioudra the Devourer of All Creatures ravaged the Nashar Valley.

At the entrance of the holy land of the Kingdom of Tallinn, the "Dark Land", it was as silent as death, but it was densely packed with people, and the blue-skinned short people almost surrounded the big tree at the entrance of the holy land more than a dozen times, and they were all expressionless, staring at the gate of the holy tree.

There was an open space in front of the black gate entwined with vines, and two groups of men and horses stood.

There were only two people in one group, one of whom looked like a young man and a Uno chief, in stark contrast to the Tallinn people behind him. Half a head taller than Uno, he stood out from the crowd, standing in this group of dwarfs like Gulliver had come to Lilliputia.

Standing next to him was a female Tallinn with pale blue skin, much taller than the average Tallinn, but also petite when standing next to the Hipster. She had a majestic expression and stared at her brother and son in front of her, as if she was about to get angry in the next second.

There is no doubt that the two in front of him are Uno's parents, and the aforementioned girl's name is Sif, and she is also Ricky's sister. As for the men, the name is not unimportant, and he won't appear in the future anyway.

On the other side stood Surya's group. Glazer, Eric, and Grace, who had no combat strength, were surrounded in the center, and everyone else was injured, with Suria being the most seriously injured if Amacer's internal injuries were not taken into account. The girl had a cut on her face, and a broken arm, and the flesh and blood of the wound were blurred, and the broken arm could not even be found on the ground.

Tom was carrying a man on his shoulder, and when he got closer, he could tell that it was Hosdi, the lord of Hosdi, whose injuries were worse than Suria's, his arms were broken, and the blood was dripping to the ground, merging into a river, which was slowly absorbed by the soil under everyone's feet and the gates of the Holy Land.

His wound was filled with black aura from the black sword Cantusa, undoubtedly the work of Surya.

Uno stood at the front of the line in a rare way, plucking up the courage to make eye contact with his parents. As his uncle, Ricky wanted to do the same, but he was too short to stand on the ground without any momentum, so it was better to hide as usual and prepare for emergencies.

The cause of this scene was a few minutes ago, but to sort out the twists and turns behind it, we have to go back a month.

……

After Mu Yan was kidnapped by Alduin, he sensed that Alduin intended to send him away immediately, and instead took action against Surya and them, so he delayed for a month in the name of enriching his brain.

So during this month, Glazer led the people to the kingdom of Tallinn according to the arrangement he had made before he left. It wouldn't have been dangerous, but they ignored a grumpy city lord, Hosdi.

This guy was put on the boat by Mu Yan, and the beloved woman was tied to the mast and exposed to the sun for several days, and his heart was full of resentment. During the process of following the Nagfar all the way to Vadan City, he was thinking about throwing Mu Yan off the ship every moment, and then tying Surya to the mast and exposing him to the sun for so long that he would follow him.

The city lord's mindset is very simple, tooth for tooth, blood for blood.

But later, when the Nagfar was about to sink, when he rushed out to save Merlulu in the stormy seas, Mu Yan helped him, and this behavior made Hosdi dispel the idea of revenge.

After settling down, the young and vigorous city lord had been relieved by Merlulu's comfort, but one day he suddenly remembered the agreement between the two on the ship—as a condition that he would not interfere, if this guy discovered Hablon's secret, he must share it with him.

Curiosity gnawed at his heart like an ant, Hosdi couldn't sleep almost every night, the Nagfar broke in two, Hablon threw his hair loose in the storm, yelled at Neudra, and then was blown into smoke by a breath of dragon breath, and the monster grabbed Mu Yan and left......

The scenes of that day kept repeating themselves before his eyes, and he felt that perhaps the people in front of him could uncover some of the secrets that had been bothering him for a long time, so he flew across the river in a raven, far behind Surya's group.

I'll just ask something, and I'll leave when I'm clear, and I'll never do anything. He thought.

On the way to Tallinn, Ricky spotted him twice, but didn't dare to do anything after seeing who the other party was - to be the lord of a city in Heru, even if a bird like Hosdy doesn't, he is also a capable person. Hostis is enough to fight the humanoid dragon of Victor, the lord of Haimeng City, and he and Amatho were smashed into the boat like a whack-a-mole by Victor when they were on the boat, and he didn't want to experience this feeling of being crushed a second time.

So they chose to drag, planning to find a way after getting close to the kingdom of Tallinn, after all, Uno's mother Siv is the queen of the Tallinn people, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a city lord south of the River Styx with the strength of a country.

But Hosty gradually realized that something was wrong.

He remembered that there was a Tallinn man in the group who was good at stealth, the kind he couldn't even spot, and he strongly suspected that the gray-hatted Gondor had died at his hands. But as time went on, the group not only didn't notice that he was lame in tracking skills, but also moved faster and faster......

The most critical thing is that he suddenly went up to ask passers-by and learned that this road leads to the Kingdom of Tallinn......

Hosdi suddenly realized the other party's intentions, and he decided not to hide anymore, and appeared directly in front of the team.

Seeing that the Kingdom of Tallinn was less than half a day's journey, Glazer decided to give up himself to block Horsti and let the others go first. But in this place far away from the River Styx, he couldn't untie the shackles of the brand's power, and when he saw that he was moving, Ricky didn't say a word and knocked him unconscious with a knife.

The people of Tallinn firmly remembered that Mu Yan had told him a thousand times before leaving, "Watch the old man closely, don't let him transform."

The biggest brainchild in the team was knocked unconscious, and Ricky planned to stay with Amatho to stall for time, but he didn't want Suria to step up at this time.

Without saying a word, the girl rushed forward with a cantusha, and behind her was the phantom of the Valkyrie Arthur Edwards, and the two figures were simultaneously glowing with purple light, tangled with Hosty.

Ricky was not an inkblot man either, and immediately fled in the direction of Tallinn with the group, while he himself ran in the lead.

Three hours ago, when Ricky returned to the battlefield first with borrowed combat power, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Judging from the situation, it turned out that Surya had firmly suppressed Hostdi, and the most surprising thing was that the Valkyrie Arthur had disappeared, and the phantom who fought side by side with Surya was another defender.

This keeper of the scroll...... It's a bit like Hosdi!

Seeing the arrival of the large army, Hosdi had to abandon his opponent and leave quickly, as he left, Surya's clenched breath also relaxed, and she fell to the ground from exhaustion, and the defender behind her disappeared, which made everyone's doubts swallow back into their stomachs.

The girl woke up again two days later, and after replenishing her food and water, she recounted the course of the day.

At first, the situation was one-sided, and even though she had Arthur's help and made great progress in the past month, she was no match for Hosdey.

After a few encounters, the girl's defense was dwarfed and she was completely powerless, but she quickly changed her style of play and used her more agile characteristics in the field to exchange injuries for injuries.

The turning point came when Cantusha slashed through Hosty's arm for the first time, and a suction force came from the sword, as if it had eaten flesh from Hosty's wound, and then the Valkyrie Arthur disappeared and was replaced by another Keeper.

He called himself Hoth, a standard Oriental, but somewhat similar to Hosdi.
