Chapter 867: Dark Forest Castle (Monthly Pass 2700 Plus Update)
"Thank you!"
After walking for a while, Raphinia's soft voice came.
The girl knight is not a fool, knowing that if it were not for Leylin, they are afraid that they will really be buried in the mouth of the ogre this time, this kind of death is obviously not acceptable to her, and now she is a little scared when she thinks about it.
All adventure novels are deceptive, and there are no heroes and beautiful princesses at all, but more thieves and ogres who eat alive!
"So...... When illusions are shattered...... Do you want to continue your so-called expedition?"
Leylin asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, this is my knight's way!!" The young knight's voice was full of determination: "As long as I can continue to persevere, evil will one day be completely exterminated in my hands...... The world will be restored to my hands!"
"......" Lei Lin rolled his eyes speechlessly, this idiot roadblock had no tendency to wake up.
"What's that look on your face?"
"No, I was just thinking that you are well suited to be a holy warrior of the god of justice!!!
......
Fortunately, the god of luck finally favored Leylin and them this time, so that the small convoy finally drove out of the area where the ogre was raging.
Otherwise, once Lei Lin is surrounded by ogres, he may have to leave everyone alone to break through.
And everyone except him, including the Warmars, will eventually become ogre's rations and jerky.
"Is it the death of the leader and the chaos?"
On the way, they also sporadically encountered a few lost caravan members. There are even some small thieves and the like.
Unfortunately, this time, even Raphinia learned to harden her heart. And the high-ranking knight girl who has slightly recovered some of her strength, it doesn't take much effort to deal with these people.
Until this day. A small city with black walls appeared in front of Thunderin.
"Here we are, Darkforest Fort, after which is the Great Central Plains of Dambrais, which is also the king's direct domain......"
After seeing the city, Raphinia let out a cheer, and Hera and Alani smiled with relief on their faces.
Although this long journey was only halfway through, the hardship and frightening it was enough for them to fear the future.
"Stop!
At the gate of the city, Leylin, a group of adventurers dressed in peculiar costumes, was immediately stopped by the guards.
"Hmm, are these guards good? and are they already professional soldiers who have seen blood?"
Leylin watched Hera go up to negotiate, but his brow furrowed slightly.
In his experience. Of course, it can be seen that the strength of the guards here is generally high, and it may even be a professional legion, which is not at all comparable to the previous times.
Even, secretly, he could vaguely feel that dozens of elite archers had targeted this place, which made him feel a little dangerous.
"To give me a sense of danger, these archers must at least be equipped with equipment such as [Demon Breaking Arrow], and they are really rich......"
Leylin's eyes glanced vaguely over the walls. and looked at Hera and them as if nothing had happened.
After checking the respective mercenary and noble certificates, a middle-aged soldier who was obviously a small boss walked over.
"Recently, there has been a vicious incident in the Dark Forest Fort, don't stay longer if you're okay!"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Is it an ogre?"
There was a hint of curiosity in Hera's eyes.
"What are ogres? They are far from real devils...... "The middle-aged soldier sneered, and said no more.
Only when passing through a few mercenaries in Leylin. Only then did he say in a warning tone: "Don't make trouble after you go in, otherwise you will ......"
Threatening words. Raphinia was furious, but Leylin and Old Bam had seen more of it. Just shrugged his shoulders, it's hard to say whether he listened or not.
"Humph......"
The military leader didn't care about Raphinya, there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he waved his hand: "Let's go!"
"The strength of this kind of legion is no worse than the previous ogre tribe......"
Lei Lin lowered his head, and the light in his eyes flickered constantly.
"It seems that the national forces and legions are the mainstream of ordinary humans in the world of the gods, and the previous miscellaneous mercenary group is completely incomparable......"
In them, Lei Lin finally saw the temperament of a soldier of all nations, swords like a forest, spears like thorns, and maybe even with the assistance of mages and priests, even the middle-level officer just now, the momentum on his body is very close to that of a high-level soldier, especially the other party has obviously experienced the test of the battlefield, and the evil aura of seeing blood is incomparable to ordinary mercenaries.
"It's just that, judging from what the other party said just now, it's obvious that something happened here......"
After entering the city, the cold streets and the strict security suddenly made Lei Lin frown.
"We're going to rest here for a while, maybe need to buy a wagon and recruit a few mercenaries......"
After arriving at a hotel that was still open, Hera said to Leylin and the others with a hint of exhaustion on her face.
"Well, we do need a new carriage!" Raphinia of course raised her hands in favor of this suggestion, and finally arrived in a human city, and she couldn't wait to get some rest.
There is nothing more unbearable for a noble lady than filth and filth, but alas, these are never lacking on a journey, especially for mercenaries.
Poor Raphinia was not tortured and went berserk, she was already a knight's cultivated tenacious will.
Bam agrees, and is eager to buy a new batch of rum in exchange for a commission for the ogre ears he has amassed.
"Alright, we'll meet here in three days!"
Leylin nodded indispensably, he was also a little curious about what happened in the Dark Forest Castle.
"Ray, wait! Your friend needs your help! My injuries need treatment from the priest......"
When it was time to separate, Old Bam directly grabbed Lei Lin, and his eyes were teary.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Lei Lin could only shrug his shoulders and bring the old Bam with his broken leg, anyway, it worships the god of warriors, and the temple is not far from the mercenary guild.
"Divine Technique-[Healing Slander]!"
In the temple of warriors, the divine light spilled down on the hands of a priest, and the wound on Bam's thigh quickly healed as it reappeared, and even a new layer of flesh grew.
"The cost of the treatment is 5 gold crowes!"
The priest's face was holy, but the cost of treatment was not reduced in the slightest.
Performing divine spells to heal the wounds of believers in return for a fee is a common practice of operation for most temples.
The gods also needed wealth to build magnificent temples and, more importantly, to absorb believers on better terms.
Old Bam, who is usually very stingy, paid the bill very happily at this time, and did not even dare to take advantage of it, and only after leaving the temple did the other party have a look of regret.
"If it weren't for our employer's departure these days, old Bam would rather go to a physician or a pharmacist, damn it, five gold croes, how many bottles of rum would be enough for that...... Oh, my God, old Bam didn't mean to......"
Old Bam kept muttering, "No! this must be counted on our employer's commission! You're going to support me, aren't you?"
Thunderlin didn't hear it, and walked into the mercenary guild with old Bam.
Old Bam roared to redeem the Ogre's Ear to recoup his losses, while Leylin made it to the mission hall.
The area of the hall here is much smaller than that of Ammon City, and there are a few mercenaries sitting in it, both in terms of quantity and quality.
This abnormal atmosphere was explained when Lei Lin saw the task board.
"Advanced Quest - Follow the Devil's Followers! This quest is extremely dangerous, please think carefully before choosing!"
"Advanced Mission-Investigate the Evil God Ritual in Lord Walker's Mansion!"
"High Mission - Investigate the Cause of Baron Faeron's Death......"
The numerous high-level missions hung up in a row, which looked very spectacular, but unfortunately there were very few mercenaries who dared to take them.
"Interesting, devil?"
A smile suddenly hung on the corner of Lei Lin's mouth, thinking of the abnormal transfer of the army before, and the melancholy on the face of the middle-ranking officer, everything had come to an end.
It turned out that the reason why the entire Dark Forest Fort was a little abnormal was actually the reason for the activities of the devil believers.
This kind of difficult task has always been a matter for the temple and the national army, and it is no wonder that these mercenaries are not interested.
However, just because they weren't interested didn't mean that Lei Lin wasn't interested.
In fact, Leylin has always been very curious about the hell and demons in this world.
Although through the memories of Belusebab, he knew the devil no less than several devil archdukes, theory and practice are always two different things.
"According to the memory of the other party, the entire hell has a total of nine levels, ruled by their respective lords, and there are also several public areas...... And to be able to break through the limitations of the plane and come to the main material world to spread the faith...... At the very least, this must be something that a Hell Lord of the same level as it can do......"
The Gluttonous Monarch - Beruse Babu was definitely a rule wizard in his heyday, at least comparable to the weaker gods of the world of gods.
It's no wonder that just a few traces have been found, and the whole city is like a great enemy.
The scene of the original soul seed projection resurfaced in front of Lei Lin.
"I don't know what happened to that little guy's suggestion now?After all, he has accepted the power of my ontological soul seed, and if he can adapt to it, his current strength should be good......" (To be continued.) )
