Chapter 264 Seeds of Fighting Spirit
"She is currently being hunted by the Kingdom Bounty."
Maurius made a shocking news:
"If you're a friend of hers, you'd better find a way to tell her not to go to a conspicuous place in the last few years, otherwise you're likely to get a very difficult guy to mess with, and more than one."
"She is obviously a hero of the kingdom, how can she be rewarded?"
Xia said incredulously:
"Everyone was able to escape from that island smoothly, and it can be said that she played a decisive role, didn't anyone report to the royal family and those nobles?"
"Sounds like you're in the know, Miss Demon."
Maurius hung the snake meat he had processed on the tree:
"I don't know the specifics of the matter, but even if what you say is true, I'm afraid it will be difficult for those people to stop it."
He turned his face and said word by word:
"Because of the ...... who issued this bounty order It was none other than the King of Westminster himself! ”
Xia stopped talking.
"Let's have some water magic, Miss Mage."
Pointing to the fresh snake meat, Maurius said:
"Rinse this stuff and cook it over the fire, and that's our dinner. A hot, fragrant dinner is a guarantee of refreshment the next day. ”
"Whew-"
Natsu sent out a thin stream of water.
Then a breeze blew around, swirling and rising with the current, washing away the blood and dirt from the snake's flesh.
"Peng!"
A fire rises under a tree. Uncle Black Knife hurriedly threaded the string of snake meat with a twig and slowly roasted it on a pure flame.
"Maurius, I remember that your organization was strong."
After a moment of silence. Xia asked in a low voice:
"Why hasn't your organization come forward to clarify this? Or find a way to protect her own members from others; If it were Delia, her status with you should not be low. ”
"First you have to understand one thing, dear Miss Demon."
Maurius replied without raising his head:
"No matter how powerful an organization is, it will not be a head-on enemy of a country."
He changed the snake meat in his hand, sniffed the rising heat with his nose, and then continued to roast it on the fire:
"I know people call us crazy...... But in reality, we just follow our own principles. In order to achieve a common goal, the means can be unscrupulous, regardless of the consequences; Do you think that some of these people may influence their own interests for the sake of their so-called peers? ”
"This is not a madman. It's cold-blooded and ruthless idiots. ”
Xia's voice cooled:
"Don't you know the theory of each defeat? A companion is hunted down, and you ignore it, but what if there is a second, a third? Maybe one day it will be your turn. By that time, even the rest will regret it too late. If you don't cherish your peers, what team do you join? This kind of boring organization might as well be broken up. ”
"Ha, you're really an insightful young lady, and those words do sound reasonable."
Although scolded as an idiot, Maurius showed no signs of anger:
"But we are all brainless, and we are all arrogant; That is, I don't like to take advantage of others, and I don't like to be taken advantage of...... Therefore, they will only get together when there is a crisis of common interests, and the matter of the wolf girl obviously did not reach this level. ”
"So. It's a pity. ”
With a shock of his wrist, he shook the roasted snake meat and the branch in two, and handed it to Xia with a smile:
"I'm afraid she'll have to deal with this on her own."
Natsu stared at him with cold eyes. There was no intention of reaching for it.
"Okay, I'll put it here first, but if it gets cold for a while, the delicacy will fade."
With a helpless expression, Maurius stuck the branch in the ground and took his half and munched on it.
"Maurius. Don't you have friends? ”
After a while, Xia said:
"You said it before. The strength of humans is too weak compared to other races, but even if one person can't beat a strong orc, a team of ten people can definitely do it; That's the power of companionship. ”
She looked at the wasteland in the distance: "Just like now, if you are attacked, I will definitely help you, although your strength is very strong, but you may not be able to face anything, people can only appreciate the preciousness of friends when they are isolated and helpless." ”
"Maybe."
Maurius put his hand down:
"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, what I am facing must ultimately be on my own."
There was a frenzied glint in his eyes:
"No one can help me ......"
This topic could no longer continue, Xia gave up and sighed, she also knew that she had no effect on Uncle Black Knife's anger, and turned around and walked towards a big tree:
"I gave you my share, I'm sorry just now."
Walked behind the tree, took some fruit and bread from the little Lori in black, leaned against the trunk and ate it slowly.
She really didn't want to touch the jerky anymore, and she was sick to her stomach when she smelled that fishy smell.
"Master, but we don't know where Di Liya is, how can we tell her about this?"
The little Lori in black asked on the side.
"Do the opposite."
Xia said in his mind:
"It's almost impossible to find Delia in a short period of time; But we can, in turn, take the initiative to help those people spread the word...... Sue the people of the whole continent, he is chasing and killing the princess of the werewolf clan! ”
There was a chill in her eyes:
"I'd like to see how this bastard king will end up when things get bigger."
"Is she losing weight?"
Seeing that the other party was hiding behind a tree and didn't come out, Uncle Black Knife thought in wonder.
"But it's not good to waste food."
He muttered. Stretch out your hand to the flesh of the snake on the ground.
……
"Maurius ......"
Natsu, who was flying in the air, looked at the mountain peak in front of him and said:
"What's going on with that mountain?"
In front of the two of them, a towering mountain range appeared like a screen, cutting off the entire path.
"Are you sure Black Calamity can climb mountains?"
She felt more and more in her heart that the helper she had chosen was unreliable.
The tracking has been going on for half a month, and today is the third day of the third week. For two whole weeks they wandered through the wilderness, sometimes to the east and sometimes to the west; If it weren't for the fact that Xia and the black-clothed little Lori didn't feel malicious towards each other at all, they thought they were going to be taken into some terrible trap.
"It should have taken a path we didn't know about, and this happened to me before when I was tracking."
Maurius touched the stubble on his chin and said:
"It suddenly appears during the day and then disappears again at night; Two days later, they appeared hundreds of kilometers away without warning, destroying a town. If it weren't for the fact that I was sure that its body would be able to be hit. I thought it was a phantom. ”
He shook the hilt behind him:
"I slashed it in the leg, although I didn't hurt it. But the feeling of the blade tells me that it is indeed something that is real, not an illusion or a projection. ”
“…… Didn't you say you wouldn't fight it head-on? ”
Xia suddenly discovers that Uncle Black Knife can also lie.
"It's not me who fights it head-on, it's someone else."
Maurius explains:
"It was a combat team full of clergy. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Truith's divine spells and divine fighting spirit are very effective against dark monsters. ”
He recalls the scene: "Paladin, magician, sacrifice...... Most of the group died, but most of them were knights and magicians, and one of the women in the sacrifice made a deep impression on me, and without her, none of them would have survived. ”
"Is she very strong in combat?"
Xia was still more concerned about the affairs of the Order, because it used to be her great enemy. By this time, the enemy had become the target she was tracking.
"No, very weak ......"
Maurius erupts with intimidation, scaring off a group of scavengers who want to sneak up. Scared them into running away:
"But the perks are second to none among the people I've ever seen, and the people in the team can be revived temporarily unless they are killed at once, and they are also very beautiful, I remember a little girl with purple hair, and those big red eyes that sparkle ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something:
"But it's not as good as you. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and it is not an exaggeration at all. This is what I mean from the heart. ”
Purple hair, in that case the man is neither Wendy nor Agnes.
After hearing the characteristics of the other party, Xia settled down in his heart.
As for the last sentence, she selectively ignored it.
Uncle Blackknife, who was ignored, was very hurt, and sighed and urged the tired chickpeus to rush forward, ready to go ahead and explore the way first.
"Stephanie, where's the magic bag you studied, how is it now, have you found a way to open it?"
Xia asked the black-clothed little Lori flying beside her.
"Not yet, master, the bag itself is a very common style, but that magic knot is a little annoying."
She pouted and said:
"No matter how you disassemble it, it will re-produce new ones later, and it's so fast that it's annoying."
"Show it to me."
Natsu found a hidden place and asked the black-clothed little Lori to take out the bag.
"It doesn't seem like a magic knot."
She looked at it for a moment, and realized that the knot contained not magic, but a strange energy.
"What is this energy, I don't think I've ever seen it before."
He pulled out his sword and cut off the glowing knot, which immediately turned from light to dark when it fell into her hand, turning into an ordinary rope.
"My constitution is still valid for this, which means it's still within the scope of spells."
"Try it with superpowers."
She tried to untie the tangled knot with her telekinesis, but it didn't take long for her to break it.
"I see...... This is witchcraft, the power of wizards! ”
Natsu looked at the bag that had been opened, and remembered the boneless Bonzan spy, which he had gotten from him.
"My necromancer is called a necromancer after three turns, but he still uses dark magic, is there something wrong with this?"
Although she was puzzled, the joy of opening the magic bag made her put this matter aside, and slowly pulled the bag down with telekinesis manipulation, revealing the contents inside.
A drop-shaped object hovered there, emitting a white glow that rose and shrank with time, like a crystal heart beating in the air.
The little Lori in black said "wow" when she saw it:
"Master, it's a vindictive seed!"
She happily flew around the white light, carefully held the seed in her hand, and held it in front of Xia's eyes:
"Master, didn't you always want to learn vindictiveness before? Now it's finally possible! ”
On this continent, Dou Qi is a special ability, unless you can create a new kind of Dou Qi by yourself, you must learn it through guò inheritance, and this so-called inheritance is the Dou Qi seed.
Xia just couldn't find the Dou Qi seed, so he never had the opportunity to learn the Dou Qi, because the system couldn't conjure things out of thin air.
"Ding."
After the white light touched Xia's palm, the system sent a prompt:
"Found the Dou Qi Seed, Dou Qi Name: Ripple Dou Qi, Rating: A, May I ask if you absorb it?" (To be continued) R580
