Chapter 29: The Pursuit (2)
"Lord Ios, why don't you go with the young master?" Corey watched Ios standing in the high spire attic leaning against the windowsill, and watched quietly as Morey and his party walked out of the city towards the woods outside the city, and he was very puzzled. Shouldn't you follow the young master's footsteps and stay by his side all the time at this time?
"Without me, Johnson, and Andy, wouldn't Red Leaf City be out of the night?" Ios said without looking back. It's just that he silently added in his heart, "It is the most stupid thing to give up one's duties in order to show the so-called loyalty!" ”
Seeing that Morey and his party had finally disappeared from his sight, Ios turned around and retracted his gaze back into the house.
"Have you done everything I told you before?"
"Lord Andy has already sent me the list, and I have asked someone to check it carefully, no problem!" Corey's answer.
"That's good! Some people always don't put themselves in the right position, this Red Leaf City is still surnamed Faist, not other cats and dogs! ”
Not long after, a large number of well-equipped guards roared in from outside the city, surrounding some of the chamber of commerce strongholds in the city. At first there were sounds of arguing, but it wasn't long before there was a dead silence, except for the occasional short scream or two.
The guard team did not distribute everyone evenly in the chamber of commerce stronghold like a sesame seed, but targeted, first concentrating on dealing with large chambers of commerce, and small chambers of commerce just sent people to keep an eye on them first and prevent them from sending people out to find out the news.
So even though they heard the fight coming from the large chamber of commerce, the people from the small chamber of commerce shrank back as soon as they went out and saw the stalking guards at the door. Even if there were only one or two people on the other side, the cowardice of the merchants made them dare not take a frying foot for the big chamber of commerce, and they shrank like an ostrich, hoping that a blow to one or two big chambers of commerce should satisfy their appetite.
As long as there is "expectation", these small chambers of commerce will not dare to act rashly when they see small profits and forget their righteousness, and do big things and spare their lives. In the end, they all became "turtles in the urn" and were swept away, and the situation of the entire Red Leaf City was shocked.
Not to mention that Ios is clearing the hidden rebellion in Red Leaf City, but to say that the pursuing team and his party finally caught up with Decai and his people with the help of Morey's exploration field.
"Decai lay down his arms, I can pray for a good time for you!" Mark saw that De Cai's teeth were itchy immediately, and he couldn't help but come out of the crowd.
"Oh, Hoho, look who it is!" was stopped by a group of amazing pursuit teams, but Decai did not panic at all, and walked out slowly and methodically.
"It's Bishop Mark! I don't know that Bishop Mark is not in the temple to sort out the affairs of the church, so he ran away to this wilderness? Oh, look at my brain, this Sandakor has fallen, and you naturally have nothing to teach about. Now that he has taken refuge in the new master, what about the merit? De Cai teased Mark sarcastically.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Morey? Mark is a good dog, and he could not have been better at taking care of the house, and you can even ask him to wag his tail to show you, like this! After saying that, Decai put the long sword behind his back and shook it with one hand, which was really a bit like a god.
"You're damned!" Mark exploded suddenly, and the fire element began to condense with a single stroke of his hands.
"Beware of his agitation!" Morey's bystanders saw that Decai had been trying to provoke Mark and took the initiative to stop Mark.
"It's a pity!" Decai shook his head secretly and quietly withdrew the spell scroll in his sleeve. This scroll works wonders against creatures that have lost their minds, but unfortunately Morey sees through it.
Xia Zuo is a temple ranger who specializes in hiding in the southern part of the encirclement arranged by Morey, guarding against possible enemies, and his other three companions are also assigned in different directions like him.
Lying in the bushes, he picked up a weed out of boredom and chewed it unconsciously. This was a frequent move when he was a shepherd boy, and it had not been a habit for many years since he became a Ranger of the Temple. The long-lost scent of grass reminded him of the clear stream by the river, and the happy times of childhood are always nostalgic. Gradually, the bitter taste of the mouth is filled with astringency, just like the real life in adulthood.
Xia Zuo finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but spit out the grassroots.
"What's going on?" The bottom epidermis of the grass stem has been bitten away, revealing an abnormal gray color inside. Before Xia Zuo could pull out the warning fireworks hidden in his arms, a violent angina suddenly attacked him, leaving him silent in endless darkness forever.
"Ed, you're getting better at using spells now!" A clear young man's voice came from the deserted forest path.
After a fluctuation like a ripple of water, a group of people broke away from the protection of the [Group Stealth Technique] and appeared here.
The young mage Ed, who had just killed Xia Zuo silently with [Perception Blindness], [Suggestion Technique] and [Toxin Transformation], blushed and shook his head embarrassedly, looking at this shy appearance, he couldn't tell that he had poisoned a temple ranger just now.
"De Cai, where are they? Hurry up and find him, so we can go back to the royal capital!" "Alex. Damian yawned unconsciously. He was going to attend a masquerade party organized by the priest of the goddess of joy in the city of holy guns, but he was kicked by those old guys in the family to the barren land of the Far East.
These shameless guys also called it the Far East Project in order to train him. Do you really think you don't know anything? Not for Cyril yet. Damian, that fool, comes into contact with the princess of the Augustine family at a ball, Tiffany. Augustin clears the way? If he is the girl killer of the royal capital, he may have to add a lot of variables.
This time Alex. Damian came with only one of his own personal escorts, plus himself a total of ten, five mages and five warriors.
Because Damian is a mage family and a nobleman of the royal capital, there is such an exaggerated proportion of spellcasters, and generally speaking, it is normal to have a caster in a five-person squad.
Except for one of the mages, who was sent by the family, and the mage advisor was a senior level, the rest of the mages, including himself, were only intermediate. However, mages are a wealthy and handsome class, and even the mid-level status is comparable to those of the advanced melee classes.
"De Cai's current position is three kilometers east from the position where he last communicated with us. Hey? Didn't he wait where he was, how did he leave? Using the spell to sense the current location of the communication crystal, Ed was a little puzzled.
Originally, according to the original plan, Decai should go to the royal capital immediately after getting rid of the possible pursuers of Red Leaf City, and then be taken in by the Augustine family "by chance". But for some reason, the Augustine family sent someone to inform the Damiyan family to send someone to pick up Decai and ask them to send those treasures to the royal capital as soon as possible. Ed changed his plan when he heard that a female member of the Augustine family had taken a fancy to an item in the treasure list.
"Stupid woman!" As an important member of the family, Alex naturally knew that this person was the princess of the Augustine family, Tiffany. Augustine, but it did not prevent him from putting the name of stupidity on her head.
"Needless to say, Decai must have been discovered. The power of the Church of Sandakol has not been completely uprooted, that is, the current Red Leaf City does not have the previous bishop named Mark, and it is normal to be found to be whereabouts! ”
Alex is not surprised at all, and at the same time, he only has deep helplessness for the "princess". The treasure trove of the temple of Red Leaf City, not to mention the Augustine family, which is the three major royal families, and even the Damiyan family, who was born by themselves, is not very attractive, but just for the sudden curiosity of a delicate girl, the two families are going to risk getting involved in the divine war, you say it is not a loss.
If the previous plan is really successful, the natural risk is very small and the profit is huge, and absorbing talents is the most favorite thing for the nobles to do, and their own side is reasonable. But now after directly staging the scene of robbery, he can't wash it clean.
It's a pity that although he is extremely opposed to meddling now, as a member of the family, he has to come. On weekdays, you enjoy the benefits and honors brought to you by the family, but once the family's orders come down, you have to listen, which is the sadness of being in the big family.
Alex took out the magic token that he had prepared a long time ago, and after sensing the location of Decai's magic mark, the group quickly ran to the target location after blessing the spell.
But here is only De Cai struggling to support. Just now he was stopped by Morey, and all of Mark's anger was sprinkled on the others. As a junior professional, how could he withstand the bombardment of a senior mage, and after a while, all of them were seriously injured and fell to the ground dying.
"Decai tell me the location of the treasure trove, or I will let you understand what life is better than death!"
Eight men had already surrounded De Cai, and if it weren't for Balta's discovery that there was only a small amount of belongings in the car, De Cai would now be lying on the ground with his brother to feel the horror of death. Morey could still use the Realm Exploration ability one more time, but that would be a big burden on himself, and it would be great if he could get it from Decai.
These rangers and bards are all beginner peak strength (level 5), and they can be a squad leader or something in some ordinary adventure squads, but unfortunately they ran into Mark. Because of Morey's previous care, Mark gave Morey the chance to strike the last blow.
"You killed the target, Soul +50"
"You killed the target, Soul +50"
......
Ringing five times in a row and gaining 250 soul energy, Morey's purpose for coming here is half accomplished.
Hyde and Balta naturally understood Morey's current behavior since they learned from Dia in the last illusion that their young master would be able to collect souls. As for why Morey practiced soul spells, it was nothing more than mending the wounds on his soul.
What's more, after learning that Morey absorbed the fragments of Sandakol's priesthood, they were all immune to what happened to Morey. Morey has become a quasi-god, is it strange to know the soul ability? It's a little funny!
And not only that, at this time, there were two crystals floating and sinking in Morey's soul sea. Through the light of the blood moon that resembled a nascent red sun, Morey could see the symbol on it, which was the Specialty Crystal. The first specialty item I got before was obtained by killing the Kobold Knight, a legbone-like legacy item.
After the energy infusion of the priesthood fragments, the ability of the blood moon has been greatly improved, and Morey can now directly condense the soul power that cannot be absorbed in the soul sea, and there is no need to dig up the corpse hard, and the concealment has been greatly increased.
It's just that if you want to infuse it into your subordinates, it's a little troublesome, and because these specialties are formed in Morey's soul sea, they will inevitably be contaminated with Morey's soul information. They would have to expend more energy to get the expertise inside, but the soul messages scattered within them would make them instinctively close to Morey. Even if Morey's priest absorbs his soul message later, it will be easier to talk to him and gain divine grace.
One of the specialties is Affiliation Animals, which has the effect of domesticating animals and riding +2.
One specialty is the Onslaught Attack, which increases the damage of a melee by increasing the adjusted value equal to the strength.
Neither of the two specialties is particularly needed for Morey, and it feels a bit of a chicken rib, but this is not a chicken rib that can be given to his subordinates.
"De Cai can't come with you, Baron Morey!" Morey suddenly felt a violent fluctuation of the spell, and he didn't want to shout "be careful", and then jumped behind the tree to hide.
They have the lowest strength in the team, and protecting themselves is the biggest help to them.
Sure enough, I saw Morey hide behind the big tree, avoiding the enemy's sight, and Hyde roared and summoned his four-horned magic rhinoceros to block this [lava orb].
The huge lava fireball slammed into the horns of the demon rhino, and the scattered lava suddenly ignited the surrounding vegetation, and the temperature around it became scorching.
Hyde turned over with his sword, and the four-horned demon rhino didn't need Hyde's guidance, and he found the high-level mage who hurt him with the spell breath.
And the rest of them were all against Alex's men. Although he had more men than his counterpart, he and the rest of the mages were pinned down by an assassin who had disappeared.
Ed had just been stabbed by a back-piercing [Mage Armor], and if he hadn't triggered the [Any Gate] spell on the mage's robe, he would have gone to see the mage god by now.
"Damn it! Why are the Faist family still sheltering the Sandakor Church? Alex couldn't help but have a big head. I originally thought that after the fall of Sandakor, the Faist family would inevitably avoid suspicion and no longer have anything to do with his church. Except for that damn red goat, Red Leaf City has some unpopular chamber of commerce organizations, and it is simply crushing to bring a family escort team by himself. I didn't expect ......
The one who shouted "be careful" just now should be the former genius of the Faist family, Morey. Faist too. Unexpectedly, the necromancer he invited with a lot of money not only did not kill him, but was captured by him and became a guest. This time, it was he who stepped in and put his response plan in jeopardy.
Although the last assassination plan was planned by the family, it failed and his family points were deducted. The size of this response is also a mission, and points will be deducted if it fails, and Alex seems to have seen those golden cuties saying goodbye to himself one by one.
At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy. Then he began to wander aggressively, casting spells to harass him everywhere, trying to contain Balta.
The reason why Alex did not hesitate to attract Balta with his body was not because he cared about the safety of his subordinates, but because he saw a person, a neglected person.
Decai feels that his mood today is like riding a ship in a storm, with ups and downs. When I first received the news in the communication crystal, telling me that there would be a big man in the royal capital to pick him up in person, I was happy. Then he realized that he was being followed, fled and intercepted, and his heart was terrified and desperate. But just when he was most desperate, the big man of the royal capital finally arrived in time and pulled himself back from the brink of despair again.
And now, he has finally grasped the rope of fate that is about to disappear. Only, just catch this city lord named Morey.
