Chapter 350: Undercurrent

Hao Ren and his party stayed in the guest room for a long time with nothing to do, they had been in the twisted woodland all night last night, but because the team was not an ordinary person, the energy consumed by this night's running around was actually not much, and they all recovered after a little rest, and then they began to work their own way. Yizax and Nangong May were not very interested in running around outside, so they continued to rest in their respective rooms when they were bored, and Vivian continued to take out Lily brand woolen balls to knit a scarf for Hao Ren while she was free, and Betsy was still immersed in the bright prospect of becoming a rich nobleman and couldn't extricate herself, and she had been in a state of excitement for half a day and walked around in various rooms, and finally Nangong May couldn't stand this chattering guy and ran to Hao Ren to complain before finally letting Betsy settle down a little. But Lily can always find something to do: she didn't stay in the house long before she ran out to play, and she didn't know where to run around like crazy, and when she came back with a lot of strange food in her hands, she found Hao Ren and shouted: "Landlord landlord! It's time for something good! There's a market in the southwest corner of the town~~"

Hao Ren was holding a heavy book in his room at this time, and there were a large number of messy books on the desk in front of him, these ancient books from another world seemed to be quite laborious, even with the help of a translation system, he needed to concentrate to figure out what those obscure and difficult ancient terms were saying. Therefore, he did not raise his head when he heard Lily's greeting: "I know, I knowβ€”I am looking for something to eat all day long, and I am careful of eating bad stomach." ”

Lily didn't care, and happily ran over and stuffed a piece of sweet and greasy pastry into Hao Ren's mouth: "Eat, eat." Eat. Anyway, landlord, what do you see? ”

Hao Ren pointed to the scroll on the table: "Something related to the Dragon's Back Mountains, as well as the customs of the Beinz region. ”

Curious, Lily grabbed a few books and flipped through them, "Oh, really." Where did you get these? ”

"Borrowed from the priest in the neighborhood, there is a library in the church." Hao Ren raised his head at this time, "These are all books open to the public, and I said that I am a magician who likes to study history and legends, so they lent me these things...... Oh, and the dim sum tastes good. ”

Lily happily stuffed another piece of pastry into Hao Ren's mouth: "Yes, yes?" I'm tasteful! Anyway, landlord, what have you researched? ”

Hao Rensan ate the snack in two bites, grabbed Lily's tail and wiped his mouth: "I haven't found anything special at the moment, the legends about the Dragon's Back Mountain Range are quite consistent: the ambitious ancient magic emperor twisted nature to create something that contained the resentment and curse of the magic emperor after his death, and the power of the goddess contained in the Beinz blood lake has continuously suppressed the evil forces in the mountain range for 10,000 years. That's pretty much the way it goes. However, some of the lesser-known stories are also interesting: there are legends that the Dragonspine Mountains are the same underground as the Blood Lake. There are also legends that another creation of the Magic Emperor is suppressed under the twisted woodland, and there is even a legend that the Magic Emperor is not dead at all, his body is frozen in a secret chamber beneath the mountains, and if the mountains collapse, he will be resurrected to start his evil reign again. These legends and stories do not directly contradict the orthodox teachings of the Radiant Sect, but because they are too mysterious and scary, they are classified as crooked by the sect and are under control......"

As he spoke, he held up the large book in his hand: "For example, this one." From beginning to end, he criticized these 'fallacies', and the records are particularly detailed. ”

Lily let out a long sigh, "Ohβ€”that explains the strange things that have happened around this area in the last few months. Anyway, people everywhere are panicking now, and I have heard on the street that the royal capital has sent reinforcements here several times, but because there is no way to fundamentally solve the stone giant. No matter how many people come, they can only stalemate. ”

While the two were chatting, a sound of people neighing suddenly came from the window, sounding like movement from the main road in the town. Hao Ren pushed open the window and looked outside, and saw some soldiers in mage robes and light armor passing by on the avenue. But the town's bell tower didn't ring, so it shouldn't be a monster attacking. He knew that Lily had just come back from outside, so he asked, "What is that for?" ”

Lily poked her head out from under Hao Ren's arm and looked at her head vigorously for a while: "It should be the patrol of the Kingdom Knights who have returned from the mountains." Anyway, I met my compatriots on the street! Also a female werewolf. She was a pioneer in the Kingdom Knights, and we chatted for a long time~~ Her armor is majestic! ”

Hao Renxin said that this husky can really ignore his identity as a dog and be a compatriot with an orthodox werewolf, but considering Erha's sharp teeth, he didn't dare to say this. He wasn't surprised that Lily was able to meet her compatriots here, after all, the dream plane was originally an alien hometown, and vampires and werewolves in this place were all normal races, although vampires were not easy to identify, but he had already seen many werewolves with animal ears on their heads in the town. It's just that the kingdom of Holletta belongs to the human realm, and the alien races in the country are basically a small number of immigrants or descendants of studying abroad from outside, and the alien races who can serve in the army are even rarer.

Seeing that Hao Ren didn't seem interested in this topic, the husky girl flicked her tail slightly dissatisfied and crackled and slapped on the latter's back: "I really don't cooperate." Don't you wonder what we talked about? ”

"Problems with the taste of the bones and teethers?" Hao Ren replied smoothly.

Hao Ren, who was twitched by Lily's tail, grinned: "You think I only know how to eat!" ”

Hao Ren hurriedly made amends, and the husky became happy again: "Although we also talked about meat and bones...... But it's mainly about the fighting in the last two months. I said that I was the deputy head of the mercenary group, and the werewolf sister happily told me about the march and battle, and she complained to me that the church army was stubborn, and that many people in the kingdom army were dissatisfied with what had happened recently......"

Hao Ren didn't care about the messy information that Lily's girl was running around outside, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Wait a minute, what did you say happened recently?" ”

"It seems to be a task assignment," Lily's ears twitched, "The Church Army is in charge of the battle around the Blood Lake, and the Kingdom Army is in charge of the Dragonspine Mountains, the latter has some opinions on this arrangement, because the battle pressure in the Dragonspine Mountains is relatively light, and it is far away from the 'Holy Land', and some soldiers in the army who are more radical in their beliefs feel that this is unfair." By the way, I heard that Marshal Ovra had already negotiated with Gerton several times about this, and wanted the Kingdom Knights to divide some of their forces to help around the Blood Lake - but it didn't work out, it seems to have something to do with the doctrine. ”

Hao Ren remembered what he had seen in the Twisted Woodland last night: Eighty or ninety percent of the troops within the Leighton Line were indeed white-robed church troops. Due to some stubborn doctrinal rules, the Knights of the Kingdom can only fight on the outside. He scratched his chin and laughed, "Really...... But those knights have a very high consciousness, and there are even some who complain because their work is too light. Normal people are afraid that they would like to be sent to safety, right? ”

Lily flicked her tail: "Religion, who knows what they think, the area around the Blood Lake has become a treasure of feng shui, even if people die every day, the church army and the kingdom army still rush to drill into it, it is said that it is because after dying in battle, they can get the honorary title of 'martyr'." ”

Both Hao Ren and Lily found it difficult to understand this strange line of thought that had nothing to do with the doctrine, and after a few idle words, they stopped studying the small frictions between the religious soldiers. He and Lily then discussed the problem of teething sticks and flesh and bones, and when Lily was about to salivate to her feet, they suddenly heard the sound of metal armor scraping against each other in the corridor outside the door, and the sound of servants greeting and greeting came from everywhere.

After a few moments, one of the servants pushed open the door: "Marshal Ophra has come to visit to meet the head and deputy head of the mercenary group of 'Good Names Make Dogs'." ”

"Marshal Oprah?" Hao Ren was suddenly a little surprised, and then reacted, "How many times have you said that you don't need to mention the name of our team every time!" ”

Marshal Ofrah's personal visit quickly alarmed everyone, and Betsy spread the news like a whirlwind from room to room. Hao Ren rushed to the small living room and saw that the legendary heroine was already sitting upright on a high-backed chair in the center, still looking majestic with the armor on her body.

Ofhra got straight to the point: "I have come to inform you that tomorrow you will prepare for the day, and the day after tomorrow will go with me to the royal capital, and the canonization and reward for you will be carried out in the royal capital." ”

When Betty heard this, she cheered regardless of her image, but Hao Ren was surprised: Just for this matter, is it worth the dignified marshal to personally come to the station of a group of novice mercenaries? (To be continued......)
