Chapter 94: Searching for the Wilderness
After Chen Mian finished dealing with the gnolls and hyenas, he turned around and saw the four knights close together, looking at her with a pale face.
"It's alright, you're the knights of Lord Grass?" Chen Mian used magic tricks to clean up the staff and put it away as she spoke, thinking that they were besieged by the gnolls and were not lightly injured.
After an eerie silence, Phil, who had jumped away, plucked up his courage first, "Yes, thank you...... saved us", they were indeed injured, but most of them were still because of the violent woman opposite who had magical abilities, so they didn't dare to ask even though they had thousands of questions.
Chen Mian's priest's mana hadn't been used up yet, so she walked over and collected the Colorful Bubble Ball, giving each of them a healing medium injury.
Phil stiffened and felt a golden unidentified object touch them, his body shook and warmed, and the wounds on his body quickly healed completely, and his face became ruddy. Only then did it become clear that this woman wanted to save them, and it was much more natural.
Most of their horses were suddenly bitten by hyenas, fell and broke their legs, Chen Mian's orthopedic splint was only effective for humans, but he didn't expect that there was a person in the team who could correct the bones, Chen Mian cooperated with him to heal the horses, and after Chen Mian recovered his mana, he went to the town with them.
Chen Mian told them that there were Yegono fangs on the side of the gnolls, and Phil decided to go back immediately to report it, while Xiao Hei was secretly sent by Chen Mian to clean up the corpses of those jackals and hyenas and find the gnolls' stronghold by the way, so as to avoid being found by other gnolls and increase their vigilance.
The horses didn't go fast, and Phil was worried that the jackals would stop him on the way back, and if he was slower, the horses' natural instincts would sense danger.
As he talked, Phil became more and more bold and asked more and more questions, revealing the nature of his words, and at the same time, Chen Mian also got a lot of information.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard from a distance, and a row of small black dots came into Chen Mian's eyes, and Phil cheered, "Reinforcements are coming." ”
They sped up to meet the knight on the other side, and a young knight was the first to speak, "Captain, it's okay you're alright", and if it wasn't for the horse, Pierre might have had to hug the captain and cry.
The thought of the other people being surrounded by so many gnolls, Pierre was anxious, if he didn't save the captain, he would be eager to die with them, and it was best to fight with the gnolls, take revenge and die.
Phil looked at Pierre soothingly, and then introduced the brown-haired young man in the reinforcements who was obviously better equipped than the other knights, "Miss Claire, this is the deputy head of our Knights, Knight Locien. ”
When Losean heard Phil introduce himself to the other party first, he couldn't help but pay more attention to this young looking noble lady, "Deputy Leader, this is Miss Claire who saved us, and she is a magical mage."
After listening to Phil's introduction, Locien understood why Phil was like this, the word "mage" is very rare and noble in the continent of Catrog, because all mages appear from the royal family.
Their kingdom is only a small country, and the only remaining mage in the royal family is too old to dare to go out, and Locien automatically makes up for Chen Mian as a mage from other countries who have come out to train, and he solemnly saluted Chen Mian.
Chen Mian secretly sensed Locien's attributes, his warrior level had reached level 1, which was much stronger than Phil and them.
With Locien and them, the group was not afraid of encountering the gnoll squad, and accelerated towards the town of Grass. It was getting dark, and instead of entering the town, they went straight into the castle.
The castle was built on a hillside outside the town, and it was not the same as the castle that Chen Mian imagined, at most it was a huge stone house with high walls on all sides, more like a heavily guarded fortress.
The thick wooden door slowly opened a crack, and a group of mermaids entered, and after entering the wall, the others dispersed, leaving only Deputy Commander Locien to enter the castle gate with Chen Mian.
Lord Glass had already received the news sent by Locien in advance, and led his wife and daughter to greet him at the door.
"Dear Miss Mage, welcome to Grasse Castle", Glass solemnly welcomed Chen Mian, he knew too well the dignity and magic of the mage.
The overall style of the castle is relatively rough, with a lot of animal bone ornaments, which is not as profound as the Pound City Lord's Mansion, but it has a different flavor.
At the dinner, drinking light vegetable soup and eating steak with a little fishy smell, Chen Mian finally confirmed that the food and cooking methods in the mission world were average, and she hated that it didn't meet her taste, and she missed Xiao Hei a little.
At this time, Xiao Hei was bathed in the cold moonlight, shuttling rapidly through the wasteland, its virtual state moving very fast, searching for traces of jackals along the carpet of the trade road.
After dinner, in the study, Chen Mian told Lord Glass and the Knight of Locien about the changes that would be caused by Yegono's fangs, and planned to go alone, just like the nezumi who had dealt with Pound City.
Although the difficult task is tedious, she does not need to seek help, after all, she wants to be highly rated. If she really needs help, she won't be polite.
She wanted the entire territory to be used to protect the town and castle, and gave them a communication stone to use to communicate with the gnolls when she left.
She wanted to complete the mission in a hurry, so she left the castle at night and flew out into the wilderness. There is no light pollution, the stars are distinct, and the two moons in the sky allow Chen Mian to see the ground clearly without wearing insect eye night vision goggles.
Xiao Hei still found nothing now, Chen Mian found a flat place to land, took out the prophecy branch, erected it straight on the ground, and then set a god favor for himself to increase a little luck.
With the gnaw-man Yegono fangs in his mind, he opened his hand lightly, and the branches toppled and pointed to the northwest. Putting away the branches, Chen Mian silently used a divination to calculate for himself, and the result was auspicious.
The results of the prophecy branch and the divination were not 100% accurate, but the results of the two methods showed that the northwest could make some discoveries, and the results were good, and with the increase in the luck of her gods, Chen Mian felt that there was a lot of hope.
She rode her broomstick and flew northwest in the direction of the wilderness, where Blackie had been probing near the trade road that led to the wilderness in the opposite direction.
Not knowing how far he went into the wasteland, Chen Mian suddenly heard a miserable scream, which was extremely obvious in this silent night.
Chen Mian hurriedly flew in the direction where the voice came from.
In the small mountain pass, in front of the low hole, a middle-aged woman was bitten off the neck by a hyena, she tilted her head, and wanted to take a final look at the hole behind her, but she lost her strength, and her desperate eyes gradually lost their vitality, leaving only the stiff body still tightly clinging to the cave wall, blocked at the entrance of the cave.
