Act 97 of the Fall (Second Update, Ask for a Subscription, Thank You for Your Support)
After Reddy finished speaking, no one interjected. The cool wind swept across the battlefield in the night, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and the demonic leader and dark cleric of the card mercenary group stood quietly in the wind, as if chewing on the information contained in this passage.
Conrad looked up and smiled. It seems to be appreciative of the cooperation of young people, but he always appreciates, whether it is the death of the other party or the obedience of the other party.
"Twelve silver-level guards." He repeated this phrase from the white-haired young man: "What do you think? ”
"Twelve?" The Dark Priest raised his head slightly: "It seems that it is possible-even if it is said to be a suspicious formation, but it is also true that there is no young man in Makaro's main force." ”
"No, no need to doubt it anymore, indecision only goes bad." Conrad interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then turned to look at the young man kneeling on the ground: "You are a nobleman of the Kingdom of Heaven?" ”
Reddy was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, looks like you're more valuable than those people." Conrad laughed like a demon: "We don't need people who don't have value, so they're all dealt with." But you're different, strong-willed, and you know what you need. The Gray Wolf Mercenary Group is over, and the one who knows the times is Junjie, are you willing to do it with us? ”
The white-haired young man looked up, stunned for a moment, not understanding what the other meant. Of course, he was also afraid that this demon-like guy would get an inch, and Conrad mentioned his identity before, and he was afraid that he would be burned because of it. But the other party's words have been made clear, if he refuses, the end will be the same as those useless guys.
Reddy couldn't help but get entangled again, he had already betrayed his conscience once, at this moment he was like a businessman who was losing money, he had invested more money to turn it over, but at this moment he found that the money he had lost seemed to be going down the drain. He subconsciously didn't want this to happen, Conrad gave him a final straw, he just hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and grabbed it.
It's going to die, and that's for later.
The young mercenary leader smiled, "Well, I'll lend you a person—no, a team." You lead them to catch up with those fifteen now, you don't have to kill them, but if you do do - my position as the head of the regiment will be given to you. Conrad leaned down and patted the other party's face: "Don't worry, I won't lie to you." After all, after completing this mission, I will also go to other places. ”
However, Reddy didn't hear him clearly, because the white-haired young man couldn't help but subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that he was just going to hunt down the guy named Brando. Originally, he was ready for a strong man to break his wrist, but of course, it would be best if he didn't have to break it. At this moment, he couldn't help but be a little glad, glad that his choice was not wrong.
Not to mention the tempting conditions.
Although the Solitaire Mercenary Group is not as famous as the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, it is also the largest mercenary group in the South. Thinking that he might be able to sit in the position of the head of the regiment, Reddy couldn't help but feel a little moved.
But when he looked up, he was stunned. Because he saw the man in the black priest's uniform step aside, revealing a black-enveloped figure behind him covered in a long black cloak. But Reddy was slightly stunned, and still recognized the other party from the weapon that appeared under the cloak: "Akane ......"
"Oh, was her original name Akane?" The Dark Priest smiled gloomily: "Then let's call it this name now, anyway, I don't have much talent for choosing names." When you complete this task, she'll give it to you—"
The white-haired young man's throat moved, and his hands couldn't help but tense subconsciously, he liked the red-haired girl, this is a well-known fact in the mercenary group. However, Akane only has a soft spot for Eco, and is just a brother and sister for the others, and Reddy knows this, but he still has a little luxury. Looking forward to waiting for Yura and Eco to get married, he can wait for the opportunity.
But he himself knows that this chance is very unlikely.
He took a breath, although Akane at this moment looked a little different from the girl in the past, but what did it matter. It occurred to him what Conrad had said, that the Grey Wolf Mercenary Regiment was finished, but he knew that Yura was still alive - in fact, few people knew that he not only liked Akane, but also spied on the blind girl - but it was an assumption that did not exist, so he kept this ambition to the bottom of his heart.
But at this moment, the beast hidden in the heart seemed to be a little ready to move.
……
Conrad smiled imperceptibly at Reddy's expression. He turned around and threw the dagger to the Dark Priest - it was the other's sacrificial dagger, and it couldn't be used to kill casually. As a member of the Shepherds, he certainly wouldn't be unaware of this, the sacrifice was a sacred event, part of the overall plan to welcome the Dark Dragon back to his place.
The Dark Priest glanced at the red-haired girl and followed quickly. He bowed his head respectfully and praised in a gloomy voice: "You are really a master of playing with people's hearts. ”
In fact, he was the only one who knew that this demonic young man hadn't asked the mercenaries any questions from the beginning. A qiē performance is all for Reddy to see, and from the very beginning, Conrad recognizes the weakness of the other party.
"Human nature is weak, and it is the nature of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I never play with anyone, I just give them more options-" replied the leader of the Solitaire Mercenary Regiment, "You know, I have a shortcoming compared to those who profess honor and justice, and that is that I never lie. ”
The Dark Priest smiled in a low voice: "But man is cunning, and he will not show his weak side. ”
"That's why torture is an art." Conrad smiled: "Actually, what I fancy is his identity, burying the next secret chess in the country of heaven, maybe when he will use it." But why did you agree to lend him that new pet? ”
"The little girl's own will is not gone, let her see how bad her former companions can be. Only by recognizing the dark side of human nature can she accelerate her identification with the message provided by the blood of God. The Dark Priest replied.
"Good plan."
"What do you think, Captain?"
"Let's go and get ready, and get to Khyukir first. They actually headed northeast, knowing that the northeast was the territory of the lizardmen, and they thought backwards and went the other way. If it weren't for the fact that he could grasp people's hearts, the cunning fox almost deceived me this time. ”
"Honestly," the Dark Priest shook his head, "I don't like dealing with that stinky lizard. ”
"I don't like it either."
Conrad took off his blood-stained gloves and replied.
……
Last night's stars seemed to foreshadow today's sunny weather, and the brutal killing in the forest may not be known to anyone except the person concerned, and the only trace left is a few faint black smoke in the sky behind Brando and his party. The scorching sun still basks the forests of this area, and the cascading canopy of trees takes on a thrilling emerald green – the green of life – after absorbing enough sunlight.
Although this is only a possibility that does not exist in zài, the mercenaries who experienced a fight last night still can't help but wonder if these trees have absorbed the nutrients of blood to become so lush. They were whispering in private, but the very low voices did not escape the extremely keen perception of the young man.
"Feudal superstition is terrible."
Brando muttered, looking back and forth at the dark card in his hand. It was obviously the texture of silver, but it took on an eerie inky black, and the contrast between Metisa's smile and her heart's heart was so warm. It's the only black card he's had, but he's going to go there looking for a land that offers the Dark Element.
If he could summon the little girl as much as he could, he would be able to walk sideways for quite some time. But for now, it's a no-brainer.
He looked at the card in a daze—and suddenly stopped what he was doing, convinced once again that the throbbing he had felt in his heart the night before was the card echo. This in the rules of the Brigade Mage means that the area has another card from the same deck of cards in his hand, and there is a bridging echo between the cards - if he wasn't a Brigade Mage last night, then the reaction is probably not a 'card echo', but a 'resonance reaction' like the last time he had a magic in the Golden Tree Canyon.
It's just that after he searched all his cards, he found that the fate card that echoed it turned out to be this one? - The unicorn knight representing 'Métisa'. The 'Eternal Song' deck was created for him, but even Brando didn't expect new rules to be added to the deck in such a short period of time.
It could be a new destiny card, or it could be an existence that echoes the attributes of 'Metisa,' whether it's gear, creatures, or enchantments, all of which means that it has the potential to be sealed into the deck. Unfortunately, it couldn't be a land, because Brando already knew that lands wouldn't match any card except in a few exceptions.
This echo has occurred six times since last night, each time closer than the last. The last time was just over an hour ago, almost to their left. This discovery made Brando a little puzzled, could it really be some kind of creature? Or is someone moving with that card?
He looked up at the sun, and after a long night's journey, it was nearly noon. After the strength of the black iron is above the strength of the black iron, or the physique reaches 3 energy levels, not sleeping for a night or two will not cause any effect. It's just that Roman and Antitina are a little more struggling, and when Brando retracts his gaze, he looks at the condition of the two ladies, but fortunately with the care of the wild elf sister and sister, they can barely keep up with the group.
Time is running out. Because of the delay at the Altar of Order, they now have to hurry up every minute.
