Chapter 47: The Return

After Delmote had settled down and talked, Karel learned that the wolf's camp was south of the Misty Swamp, while the academy was to the southeast, and it seemed that Karel and the others had gone in the wrong direction when they left the swamp.

"I found this in the ruins of Misty Town." Karel pulled out a small piece of metal, which he picked up right next to the woman's corpse, "I suspect that this piece fell from the attacker, and, according to the information we have, the one who attacked Misty Town was a guy who was more than 2 meters tall and weighs 2 tons, good at using weapons and fire-based energy, and his footprints were three toes forward, no hind toes. ā€

"It's—" pinching the burned, reddish piece of metal, Delmot looked closely, "Interesting, it looks like a spiked piece of armor." ā€

"Armor spikes?" Karel asked curiously, armor spikes, generally speaking, this kind of thing belongs to a passive defensive weapon, welding metal spikes to the armor one by one, causing damage to the enemy when he is close to him, but, after actual combat testing, it is found that this kind of thing is too wastewood, when the enemy is close, people use weapons to cut you, which will give you the opportunity to let you use the thorns on the armor to poke the other party? Besides, welded on the armor, no matter how much you do it, you can't make a one-handed sword-like length, and the spear is even more impossible, after all, if you make it like a hedgehog, you can't move, as a result, these spikes are designed to the end, and the enemy is not injured, but it hurts your own people when transporting armor and parades, so this kind of armor spikes for the purpose of actual combat are all canceled, and at most decorative armor spikes are retained, and as a compromise design, it is to concentrate this kind of thorns on the shield and make it into a shield thorn, When attacking with a shield, you can greatly increase your damage.

"That's right, it's armor spikes, and it's a combat-fighting item with an open blade, with very high hardness and toughness." Delmot pulled out a small hammer and struck the piece on the rock a few times, and the whole piece of metal sank into the stone, but there was no sign of the impact on the surface.

"Isn't the armor spike a failed design, how did this thing come about?" Watching Delmot's movements, Karel asked with a frown.

"The defeat is only for creatures like the human body, but according to the size of the attacker you said, then it is clearly not human, then there is only one explanation..."

"Its body has dead spots that are hard to reach with weapons in its hands, and it needs extra defense!" Karel said suddenly.

With a tall body, an impressive weight, powerful weapons, and thick armor, the current face is definitely not an ordinary enemy.

"Are you really not going with us?" Standing outside the camp, Karel said to Delmot that he and Lulin had been away for so long, they had to go back early, otherwise they would be treated as death, but it would be better if they could pull the old mercenaries of the wild wolf together, after all, the experience of the old mercenaries was not comparable to these guys who were still in school.

"Forget it, go sad, and besides, we'll meet again in the swamp." Delmot waved his hand, counting as a farewell, and the two members closed the barricade.

"Let's go, maybe I'll scare them when I go back now, and the dead teammates are standing in front of them again, and I guess the first thing they say is, 'Are you humans or ghosts?' Lulene pulled Carell down her sleeve and said with a mischievous look.

"Are you humans or ghosts?" Looking at the two members of the group who suddenly appeared in front of them, Suni and Esther asked vigilantly, and on the other hand, Ollillar was surrounded by holy light with both hands, looking ready to strike at any time.

You see, I'm right. Lu Lin gave her a look, then rushed up and pinched Suni's face and pulled it to the sides.

"What, sister, when I go out to play for a few days, do you loosen your skin?" Pulling Suni's face and pulling it to a funny angle, Lu Lin said with her upturned nose against Suni's nose.

"Woo-la-woo-la......" Suni, who couldn't speak, fluttered her hands, and Lulin tossed her for a while before letting go.

"Okay, okay, we just fell into the tree, we didn't fall directly to the ground, and then because we got lost, it took 2 days to come back. Moreover, a mere swamp can hardly accommodate the two of us? Looking at his teammates' still skeptical eyes, Karel said helplessly.

"Also, Sister Lulin won't talk about it, Karel has been to the tomb with us, and if you don't have the strength, this swamp can't be stopped." Suddenly remembering her previous adventures, Suni suddenly said.

"Have you found anything in the past two days?" Karel asked as she followed Suni to the death recorder and removed her and Lulin's names.

"Yes, and there are several, we found a lot of humanoid creatures in the swamp center, the speed was too fast, and we lost several students, but we didn't even touch each other's hair."

"Humanoids? Is it wielding a bone blade? Hearing Suni's words, Karel asked.

"yes, you met it too?" Suni was a little stunned by Karel's words.

"That's Nescaru, the assassin who was attracted to something."

"Nescaru? No wonder, it turned out to be those things. What, what happened to you with those guys? ā€

"Yes, it's pretty fast, but not without fighting."

"No beating? Just kidding, the team of fifteen people died five of them one by one, and they didn't even know what the other party looked like, and in the end, only three of them came back alive, and you actually said that you didn't fight? ā€

"That's true."

"Well, you're amazing, and you don't care about the natural killer Nescaru."

In fact, it was Karel's equipment that brought his strength back to its peak level, and if it weren't for that top-of-the-line equipment, he might have been sliced by Neskaru as soon as they met.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, we found a lava field in the northwest of the swamp."

"Lava fields? How can there be a lava field in a swamp? Hearing Suni's words, Karel stopped in surprise.

"At first, we thought it was impossible, but it was, and we found a large number of footprints near the lava field, exactly like the one we found on the edge of the ruins the other day."

"Found the attacker's lair? See what the attackers look like? ā€

"No, I didn't find it, the people who went to explore didn't find any animals, after all, it was just a collection team that came there by mistake, and there was no reconnaissance profession."

"Okay." Slightly disappointed, Karel continued to walk towards the Death Recorder.

"By the way, tomorrow afternoon, there is a reconnaissance mission for the lava field, do you want to come?" Suni asked.

"Alright, let's go together then." Karel thought about it carefully and felt that this should be an opportunity, so he simply agreed.
