37.Chapter 37: The Harvest II
It seems that in order to resolve the discomfort and embarrassment caused by undressing, the two people, who were relatively silent in the past, seem to talk a lot, and they are trying to find a suitable topic-
"Speaking of which, I miscalculated today, I didn't expect it to be different from what I imagined, and I almost lost my life, it's... I'm sorry. ”
"This apology... It's kind of weird, I don't think there's anything to be sorry for not being able to beat this kind of guy. Sally looked back at the body of the Scorpion King, and the appearance of more than a dozen arrows in the sockets of the other party's eyes was like a bunch of antennas stuck in his head, which looked a little funny.
"In the back - will you meet another guy like this?"
"No, that's it. But it's a terrible guy, and he almost died..."
At first, it was a sigh for the rest of her life, but gradually, Sally's words changed sharply and said: "Before you said that you were smarter than me, I only thought it was your pretending words. But now I have to admit it. ”
"I'm just experienced, to put it bluntly, if you hadn't turned around and ran away when I was knocked away, I guess we would both have died here. Roddy also exhaled, a little blamed and annoyed, "I was negligent in some problems, and you were bitten by the scorpion so much-"
"That's right... I've always wondered - why are you so okay after you were sent flying? It seemed like that the last time you faced an orc, I saw you slashed in the back by that orc - could you..."
Sally had been figuring out these things since she was sitting here, and now she had finally found the right time to bring it up, she stared at Roddy without blinking, her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked in a low voice in disbelief, "Could it be... Are you the undead? Immortal?"
"Ahh
Roddy sneezed and touched his nose, but he suddenly felt that the girl next to him was really cute, and he didn't know how to explain it, and he suddenly felt that this reason was not bad, and replied jokingly: "Alas, I didn't expect it, but I still let you see it." ”
There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere, and Sally looked at Roddy's face like a demented look, and her expression suddenly became very exciting.
In the next second, screams resounded through the forest.
"Ahh
Sally wanted to step back as if she was electrocuted, but her legs were weak but she fell straight back, almost turning over - she really believed Roddy's words, after all, this girl had never seen what a real undead looked like, and Roddy had mentioned the question of the undead before, and she really thought of Roddy as the legendary undead walking in the cemetery, staggering and cold...
The thought of holding such a guy in the water just now made Sally feel like she was going to cry.
Luo Di on the side was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this eldest lady was quite smart just now, why did her IQ slip again all of a sudden? He looked at Sally who was "turning over on her back", opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and he looked ahead in a daze, and his expression became even more wonderful than Sally...
The girl in front of her was naked and wrapped in a leopard skin, so embarrassed to raise her head and fall to the ground, although the leopard skin was not small, but it couldn't cover her lower body at all...
If you say "gone", I'm afraid Sally has almost "gone" this time...
Well, true white, uh... How is it golden?
When this consciousness crossed his mind, Luo Di reflected what he saw - when he remembered the words "do not look at indecency" in his mind, he swallowed his saliva, used his strong willpower to make himself look away, turned his face and said loudly: "Don't... Don't take it seriously, I'm kidding... That's not the case, don't be afraid!"
Sally got up in a panic, and hurriedly covered herself with a leopard skin, and her frightening face, which had just turned white, instantly turned red like a chameleon after hearing Roddy's words.
The good impression that Roddy had accumulated in her heart was ruined in an instant, and Sally was so angry that she almost bit her lip, and the desire to rush over and punch and kick was not enough to describe her resentment... Sally even wanted to bite Roddy to death at this time to feel relieved!
Although Roddy was kind to the woman, no matter how stupid he was at this time, he realized that he seemed to have gone too far, stammered that he wanted to get some food, picked up the package, got up and ran away wrapped in a cigarette and wrapped in animal skins, leaving Sally to sit silently in front of the fire and gnash her teeth.
"Bastard bastard.... !”
Sally's fists clenched tightly, and a mouthful of silver teeth nearly crushed. She looked at the back of Luo Di who was running away, and wanted to say a few cruel words, but she couldn't say it because of her self-cultivation, and finally just waved her fist back angrily and stopped talking.
Roddy ran a long way before he stopped, shaking his head, realizing that he still had the golden ...... he had just seen in his mind Hey, I've never seen this kind of thing on the Internet in my last life, why is it so uncalm at this time?
Technologist Luo Di patted his face, thought about it, or decided to count the gains after this battle to wash away this messy emotion, if he can't fight back, he will be beaten, he shouldn't be able to die anyway.
Thinking of this, he rummaged through the sac and first took out the poison sac left by the scorpion.
【Scorpion King Gilgers's Poison Sac】
Quest items are unique
"The she-scorpion will use all its venom against enemies that prevent it from breeding, even if it kills it. ”
The note under the poison sac made Roddy frown, and it was not difficult for him to think of a possible fact—the scorpion king named Gilges should be breeding its next generation. Could it be that the poisonous scorpion it gave birth to was the guy named "Syrix"?
Males can only mate twice in their lifetime, while females can only give birth once, and in the current situation, Roddy thinks that he seems to have strangled the unborn "Syrix" in his mother's womb. Remembering the scene when the Scorpion King was desperate to eat the fish in the trap just now, Roddy also understood a little... Perhaps because of the need to have children, it has a much greater thirst for food than usual.
This poison sac didn't do much for Roddy, and although the item level was not low, it now seemed meaningless except to quench the weapon. Putting away the poison sac, Roddy looked at his character attributes - because he killed the boss across levels, the experience value brought to him by this scorpion can be said to be far more than the sum of the previous battles, reaching an astonishing 2580 points!
This made him only less than 2,000 points away from level 5 after he was promoted to level 4, and even he didn't expect the upgrade speed to be so fast, remembering that he was getting closer and closer to the threshold of level 10, Roddy realized that he had to prepare well in advance.
The reason why I think this way is because there is a very common saying in the game - "After changing classes, you can experience the essence of the game." ”
For the current Roddy, the basic class legionnaire can only bring him some of the most basic skills, after the basic level of 10, he can add points to the "basic talent tree" to improve himself, and after the transfer, he will be able to unlock the "advanced class talent tree" and "combat stance", "optional skills" and many other abilities that have a great impact on the battle, compared to now, it can even be called a cloud and mud.
Before level 10, the difference between players was nothing more than one or two basic skills and attributes.
At this moment, Roddy, who has reached level 4, has reached 180 HP, and his strength and agility have been enhanced. The so-called high risk and high return are also acceptable for the current results. At least Sally's life was saved, and she gained a lot of experience. The bug of upgrading his health back made him have no wounds on his body, so the next "escape road" seems to have become simpler for Roddy.
There are still six arrows left at hand, the horned bow scimitar is used normally, a lesson from the past, Roddy, who originally wanted to relax and lie down for a while, no longer dared to take it lightly, and looked at Sally from a distance who seemed to have stabilized and gradually fell into a deep sleep, Roddy still found a stump to sit down, and silently began to "stand guard".
And he didn't know that the girl in the leopard skin not far away clenched her fists lightly, and resisted the desire to say something.
.......................................
At the same moment, Francis, who was still in the village of Vic, couldn't sit still.
Waiting was always an ordeal, and for him, who had already made up his mind to eradicate his sister, he could not rest in mind for a minute without waiting for the news of Sally's death - the cavalry brigade that Conceton had rushed out had almost searched for places that could be reconnoitred, and it stands to reason that even if Sally could dig a hole and hide like a marmot, they would at least find some traces.
But the reality was chilling: no one could find any clues, not even footprints.
Ten orc wolf cavalrymen said that they would die, but it seemed that they still died at the hands of one person. The bodies of Lao Gesen and others were also found, and it seemed that they had fought to the death with the orcs, and they actually cut down three wolf cavalry before they all fell, thinking that they were also fighting with the belief that they would die.
And this shows that it is impossible for Sally to escape the siege of the orcs, but the fact that she disappeared out of thin air is in front of her, and no one has a problem.
The thought that Sally might survive made Francis feel irritated - he knew what his men and the powerful men in his territory were capable of, and there might be a few powerful guardian knights in Duke Hollier's father who could have this kind of strength, but in the entire outer fortress and these poor countryside, who could say that he could single out ten wolf cavalry?
Moreover, the tragic battlefield also showed that the other side was not able to kill ten people easily, and there were too few people who were good at using bows and arrows and archery accurately, and there were too few people who met this condition - at least in Francis's impression, no one in the entire territory was famous for "archery".
Could it be a wood elf?
But after thinking about it, the wood elves of the Silent Forest don't seem to have anything to do with humans, so this ridiculous idea is stopped.
He was in a bad mood right now, but he couldn't wait in Vic Village all the time, or his father wouldn't be able to explain it - although his father was so cold that he didn't care about him and Sally at all, Francis didn't think that such a thing could fool him. So now he feels like he is walking on thin ice, and he doesn't dare to make the slightest mistake.
"Let the Knight of Mex send troops to continue the patrol, along the path outside the city of Hollier. ”
"Yes, sir!"
The henchman took the order, and Francis immediately mounted the horse prepared for himself by his subordinates, and said in a low voice: "Return to the city of Hollier immediately, even if she can escape my pursuit, she will eventually approach the city gate openly." ”
The accompanying soldiers gathered their equipment and followed the count towards the center of Evta's realm to the southeast.
Francis believed that with the speed of his horseback, Sally, who was constantly evading the hunt, would never have returned to Hollier one step ahead of him.
There had always been a hunch in his mind that Sally had taken refuge in the Silent Forest—but if she was really stupid enough to do that, Francis would have to breathe a sigh of relief, because once in that forest, he had little illusion of coming out alive.
Every year, hundreds of people in the territory of Evta go deep into this forest, and basically they end up with no news. For many years, there has never been an adventurer who has crossed through it alive, and it is not without people who are lucky enough to hunt strange magical beasts on the periphery and sell them for a large price, but basically no one dares to return to this forest again, because they feel deep fear - there is something in this forest that no one can compete with, and the ancestors of the Rusifron family have made a rule: never step into the Silent Forest.
"At times like these... I don't have the time and patience to wait. ”
Francis's gloomy face looked at the dark outline of the forest on the side of the road, and he couldn't help but curse the damned orcs for being unreliable, but at the thought of the agreement he had made with Sarota, he swallowed it back, waved the reins, and sped off into the distance.
