Chapter 44: Temptation
No nonsense, no inquiry, Lin Ze held his sword to meet the Nords who rushed over, he estimated the distance, slightly flattened the tip of the sword, and tentatively slashed the tip of the sword towards the opponent's neck.
"Ding~" There was a soft sound, the Nord woman swung the sword with her right hand and went down, pressing Lin Ze's long sword downward, and the whole person took advantage of the empty door in front of Lin Ze to open wide, and moved forward violently, and the sword in her left hand was aimed at Lin Ze's chest and cut horizontally.
With a good aggressive response, Lin Ze hurriedly took half a step back with his center of gravity, and took advantage of the right hand holding the hilt of the sword to retract and move again, and the long sword immediately broke away from the female Nord's right-hand sword suppression, and the entire sword body blocked the movement trajectory of the opponent's left-handed sword, and pointed downward like a thrust in the direction of the enemy's advance.
"Interesting~" The Nord woman also immediately stopped her body, controlled the forward trend and took a small step back, after leaving Lin Ze's attack range, she once again put on the posture she had at the beginning, the wolf face on her face moved, revealing an even more weird smile, and suddenly kicked her feet, she ran directly to Lin Ze's right hand, and rushed towards the tip of Lin Ze's long sword.
Well? What's the situation, Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, only to see the Nord woman swing her left-handed sword and sweep it to the right, directly distorting her long sword, followed by a twist and a jump, not good, the other party jumped to his right rear, the long sword was too late to defend for a while, and after a little thought in his mind, Lin Ze immediately took advantage of the fact that the opponent's body was still in mid-air, and slammed it with his right shoulder.
"Ah~" There was a slight cry of pain, and before the Nord woman could jump into place like she had just killed the head of the thief, she suddenly lost her balance and crashed into the wall of the narrow aisle.
Only then did Lin Ze turn around and point at his opponent with a long sword in his hand.
At this time, the position of the three in the aisle has changed significantly, originally Lin Ze blocked the direction of Leia's attack, so that the Nord woman could face Lin Ze alone, and this time it completely became that the Nord woman was sandwiched by Lin Ze and Leia, and Leia's arrow was immediately aimed at her.
"Hiss~ What a crash of ecstasy~" The Nord woman rubbed her waist as if no one was around, stood up straight unscrupulously, and hung the two one-handed swords back on her waist, "Your Excellency the Chopping One really has the strength of a Nord warrior, this is the first time I have seen a human who can rival us Nords in terms of weapon skills, you are not like those Templars who rely on birdmen and equipment to survive." ”
"Who are you?" Lin Ze watched the other party put away his weapon and did not let his guard down.
"My name is Ella, a member of the Circle of Brothers, and it's a pleasure to meet you!" Ella didn't seem to see the arrows and swords still aimed at her.
"How could you be one of the leaders of the Northern Brothers-in-Arms Group, and what do you have to do with those thieves?" As soon as Leia heard the word ring, she immediately asked.
"I have nothing to do with them, huh", Ella pointed to the head of the wood elf on the ground, "He is the head of this blood blade thief group, anyway, I was going to sneak in and kill him today, but who knew that he actually came out of that secret passage, so he naturally killed him, and then came in curiously to take a look~"
"You have a vendetta against these thieves?"
"Ha~ This is also related to your small manor, you should have investigated the first two heads of the household, right?" Ella asked rhetorically.
"Head of household? Are you here for the Iron Fist mercenary who guards the wandering merchants? Lin Ze thought about it, and it seemed that there was only this possibility.
"Torah is not an ordinary Iron Fist mercenary, he is the guide of our comrade-in-arms ****, a Nord warrior, responsible for teaching other mercenaries here how to become Nord warriors, you must know that our Nord warriors can die in battle, but they can't be killed by conspiracy, and any dishonorable death can't return to Songard after death, so I'm here to investigate this matter."
"The result?" Lin Ze had never figured out why those thieves would come to him for trouble as soon as he bought the manor, and now it seemed that he was about to find a clue.
"Oh~ This is the diary of the thief leader, I've read it, but it's just for treasure hunting", Ella took out a pamphlet and threw it over, "He's stupid enough, he doesn't even know who dug this escape ditch for them, and he dares to escape from there." ”
Lin Ze didn't take it directly with his hands, this is a habit developed when explorers, God knows what the other party threw over, an unstable energy core that was only stimulated? A high-concentration radioactive source? Or a solidified mixed toxin? So when the booklet fell to the ground, he flipped through it with the tip of his sword before putting down his sword and picking it up.
"Cut~Careful-eyed man~" Ella tilted her head in disdain.
"It seems that we are not enemies", Lin Ze took a cursory look, "but why are you attacking us?" ”
"Ha~This question is asked~" Ella seemed to remember that the other party was not the same kind of Nord, "You just think that I have taken a fancy to you, try the color, how about it?" The corners of her mouth curled.
"Hehe~ What a cold joke", Lin Ze frowned.
"Jokes? I'm serious", Ella smiled teasingly, "I can do it now~"
"I think it's time for this, you can leave, and we'll have to pack up the loot!"
Ella shook her shoulders indifferently, walked towards the passage where she came, walked a few steps and turned back, "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time~ This is my token", and after speaking, she threw a small black badge over.
Lin Ze still didn't answer, and let the thing fall to the ground.
"Hey~Careful man~" Ella turned her head, and then left directly.
After a while, Lin Ze turned his head to look at Leia, "Is there something wrong with this Nord woman?" ”
Leia tilted her head and thought about it, then said seriously, "On the contrary, this is a pure Nord female warrior who values credibility, is not afraid of death, loves to fight, fears the strong, speaks directly, and of course, is pungent and bold!" Almost all orthodox Nord women are like this, so it's normal", Leia's serious expression was like a meticulous doctor's reading of the medical record, "This badge is a warrior badge, the Nord people's recognition of any opponent with strength, in the future, you can take the badge directly into the Nord settlement, and you will not be blocked by the guards, of course, you must also instruct the local Nord people in the weapon skills." ”
Lin Ze picked up the small badge engraved with a wolf's face on it, "Okay, the purpose of tonight's operation has been achieved, let's pack up the loot and go back, and leave the rest to those green-skinned dwarfs to deal with." ”
……
"Sizzle~~~ The bad guys and stupid people are not there, let's get some beef baba to eat~~~ Don't you want to eat some?" A wood elf girl was wincing at the snake girl.
Si Qin thought longingly, smacked his mouth, "Will you do it?" ”
"This ...... Uh~ If you can't try it, you can always eat it when it's baked~~~~~You are the most beautiful~~~~"
Si Qin thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered the kind of dry biscuit that he had eaten in the tomb, and shivered, the same thing would definitely be difficult to eat, "No!" Wait until the cook comes back, haven't you had dinner! ”
Lei Xi returned to the room angrily, "Stingy ~ Stinky Jiaojiao, originally this woman wanted to make something delicious to make you happy, it seems that there is no play!" ”
Lesa was still staring out the window, she had been like this since she woke up.
"Hey~ Stinky Jiaojiao! Stinky and delicate? Stinky Jiaojiao, stinky Jiaojiao~~~~" Seeing a guy who didn't react to pulling his face, a certain woman instantly exploded, "According to the bad guys, a big living elf can still be suffocated to death by the heart!" Isn't it just a mage, it's not a big deal if you can't be a mage, wouldn't it be nice to install a stake with me tomorrow, the bad guys are amazing! ”
Lesa still didn't move......
