Chapter 33: Wonderful Fate
The wind made a track, and a figure stepped on the wind and walked quickly.
"Captain, I've already led away that group of wolf beasts, and I shouldn't be able to find us in a short time."
Raleigh, the Wind Apostle in charge of scouting and distracting the beasts, stopped beside a man with a tall halberd and reported.
Lu Xian, the leader of the Shalang team, who heard the news, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The members of his team have almost exhausted their magic power, and if they encounter that group of wolf beasts at this time, I am afraid that their sand wave team will collapse here today.
Putting away the map in hand, Lu Xian turned around and walked to the side of a young man.
"Wang Shao, you see that my brothers don't have much magic power anymore, there is a small ruined city not far ahead, do you want us to rest for one night first."
The young man known as Wang Shao was holding the pretty face of the girl in his arms and painting, but no matter how evil he did on the girl's face, the girl was like a soulless puppet, motionless and without the slightest intention of resisting.
Not even an expression.
This is a gun puppet.
A kind of 'mage assistant' cultivated by those inner city families based on the latest gem magic, gem magic was originally a magic system for those who have not awakened any elemental gates or white magic or arcane magic methods, and only have magical powers, but due to the high price and rarity of magic gems, it is destined that the gem magic category can only become a foil for those big families.
You must know that the power of gem magic is inferior to the usual arcane magic hair and elemental magic, so the children of the family who have awakened the door of magic will naturally not waste time learning gem magic, and those families in order to improve the combat effectiveness of their children to a certain extent, they usually buy some children who ordinary people are unable to raise in the outer city, train them into unconscious puppets, and teach them gem magic after their spiritual world can accommodate magic, using magic guns as weapons, As a thug and bodyguard for his family's loyal ministers.
These children, collectively known as gun puppets.
And this girl is obviously the gun puppet bound by the children of the Wang family.
"Whatever you want."
Wang Jue replied casually, took out a lipstick and continued to 'dress up' the girl.
"That's good." Captain Lu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wang Jue is not the kind of person who speaks.
"Along the way, Wang Shao's makeup skills are good." Lu Xian glanced at the girl in Wang Jue's arms, and while secretly regretting the girl's delicate appearance, she opened her eyes and said nonsense: "This young lady is like a fairy." ”
"!"
Wang Jue rolled his eyes, not appreciating it at all: "Are you blind to me, or am I aesthetically distorted?" ”
As he spoke, Wang Jue put away the lipstick in his hand, took out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped the makeup off the girl's face, and muttered: "What a bullshit makeup tutorial, but it's a deception!" ”
The tool man who had just been signaled by Lu Xian to go to investigate rushed back again.
"Captain, I just saw it, there are no magical beasts around." Raleigh said, glancing at Wang Jue.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Lu Xian said impatiently, in the field, a team is a line of grasshoppers, and there is no need to hide any information from his teammates, especially since this person is still the employer of their sand wave team.
"In the ruined city, there are people."
"Someone? How much? ”
Almost everyone's eyes fell on Raleigh.
"Well, it's about a thousand people, it's a small town."
Lu Xian and Wang Jue glanced at each other.
"Are you saying that outside the wall, where demonic beasts are rampant, there is a small town of thousands of people, and it hasn't been overthrown by demonic beasts?"
Wang Jue looked directly into Raleigh's eyes, and his gaze, which was still a little lazy, instantly became sharp.
"Well, and I saw a man and a woman walking in while I was scouting."
"How's it looking?" Wang Jue's eyes flashed, and he instantly hid the domineering temperament just now, and asked with a smile, "And the figure." ”
"Uh-"
The corners of Raleigh's mouth twitched, and he didn't keep up with Wang Jue's brain circuit for a while.
He thought back to his mind for a moment.
"I didn't see the face clearly, but the waist—the legs—tsk-tsk-" Raleigh's tone gradually became perverted, but soon it was like a deflated ball: "It's a pity that it's too flat, and it's still short." ”
Lu Xian took a deep breath.
The last normal person in the team was also led astray by Wang Jue, and he could consider disbanding the team and finding his teammates again when he went back.
"Follow along." Wang Jue thought for a moment and said, completely ignoring Lu Xian's younger brother: "If you can keep thousands of people from being attacked by demonic beasts, there must be some secrets in the city." ”
"It's... Forget it, or we'll find another ruined city. Raleigh's face was a little ugly, as if there was something unspeakable.
"If you want to confront those monsters when your magic power is exhausted, I have no problem." Lu Xian glared at Luo Li and agreed to Wang Jue's proposal.
"Ahh
Akiyuki Takema suddenly sneezed, but the sound was almost inaudible like a rabbit chirping.
"Got a cold?" Li Mingyao asked with concern.
"No, he's a mage anyway." Takema Mingxue waved his hand, signaling that Li Mingyao did not need to show his false loyalty in such a trivial matter.
"Two, our small city is not big, and there are no good places, please two of you will have a meeting here."
The townsfolk who led the way stopped and led the two to an exclusive courtyard.
"It's already very good here." Li Mingyao hurriedly put on a smiling face.
"Okay, you guys rest first, I'll go and ask them to prepare some food, and I'll bring it to you later." The old mayor said with a smile, opened the chain on the door, and pushed open the door that had been sealed for an unknown number of years.
Li Mingyao pulled the somewhat reluctant Mingxue Takema into the gate, and after a few shabby words with the old mayor, he closed the door casually.
"You're sick." Mingxue Takema rubbed his wrist, which had been pinched red by Li Mingyao, and said dissatisfied.
"You've got medicine." Li Mingyao replied unceremoniously, picked a room and threw his backpack in.
"I don't know which bastard led a group of wolf beasts around us, if we don't come in, will we really fight with that group of wolf beasts? Please, there's a Beastmaster level in there. Li Mingyao said angrily.
The wolves and beasts at the level of the beast king did not attack this thousand-person town, obviously there was something terrible in this town, if it wasn't for the sake of saving his life, he wouldn't want to enter this ruined city.
"Don't let the old lady see that wind mage, if I see him, I'll have to skin him!" Takema Mingxue pouted angrily, although her appearance really had no deterrent effect.
"From a young lady to a mother, your identity has become fast enough." Li Mingyao subconsciously said.
The katana wrapped around the ice blade slashed in front of Li Mingyao's neck, and the icy aura was only a millimeter away from his neck.
Just get used to it.
Takema Mingxue glared at him, pulled the knife from the wall and put it back in its sheath, and placed the backpack and Lee Mingyao's backpack in the same room.
Li Mingyao touched his nose, covered his magic power on his hand, and walked along the courtyard wall, the magic power in his hand scratched the wall, checking if there was anything strange around.
"It's weird."
Li Mingyao shook his head, he used his magic power to inspect the entire courtyard, but he didn't find anything dangerous, could it be that this is really a mysterious town ignored by demonic beasts?
However, the map does not specifically mark this place as inhabited.
The iron door opened again, and Akiyuki Takema and Li Mingyao looked towards the door together.
Standing at the door was a pair of mage squads, eight people, three apostle levels, very strong.
One of the members of the team ducked behind the apostle mage in the lead, while Li Mingyao and Takema Mingxue's eyes always followed the man.
"Hehe, what's that, you guys talk first, hey, it's been a long time since there are so many guests in the town, I'll go and let them prepare more food, and a few mages will have a good rest first."
The mayor standing on the side seemed to feel the tension between the two groups, wiped a drop of cold sweat from his forehead, retreated, and closed the door for them.
"Raleigh, what's going on?"
Lu Xian also felt the anger of the two, turned sideways and asked quietly.
"Well, didn't I say that the wolf beasts won't come back to us anytime soon, I lured the wolf beasts to them." Raleigh said with some embarrassment: "Captain, for the sake of how much I have contributed to the team, you have to protect me." ”
Lu Xian's face darkened: "Your special mother is really a little genius!" ”
"I didn't expect them to survive from those wolf beasts." There was already a hint of crying in Raleigh's voice.
He really didn't have a drop left, the kind that couldn't even wake up a single wind.
Lu Xian turned his head and piled up the official version of apologies on his face.
If you say that you can't fight now, especially if you haven't figured out what is in the city, it's a big deal that he will bow his head first and admit his mistake and be humiliated by the other side.
But when he saw Li Mingyao's gesture, the face of the old mage, who had experienced countless lives and deaths, changed suddenly.
