Chapter 114: Revenge with Straightforwardness
"It's incredible! I didn't see your mouth open or close at all, but the cold and piercing words of the dead kept coming out of your mouth, is there any trick in it that I can't understand?"
Like a young girl who had seen the treasure for the first time, Freel was dazzled by Wesley's extraordinary abilities, and her eyes showed envy and a little admiration.
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you. Aldridge had his sword in both hands, interested in using the topic to lead Friel by the nose.
"I, is it okay? Isn't ventriloquism your home school, Your Excellency?"
"Any circus of a certain size has a puppeteer who is good at ventriloquism, and a one-man show with two voices is very popular because of its incomprehensible curiosity. As long as you spend a lot of time practicing, you can control the muscles in your mouth, and make reasonable use of the exhalation and intake to resonate your vocal cords, and by adjusting the rhythm of your breathing, you can change a variety of tones......"
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, "Wesley" held his sword in his right hand, blocking the wanderer who was trying to pick up the rusty axe, and Mandy, who was quick with his hands and feet, froze in place, his body tense and did not dare to move, apparently witnessing the knight's strange way of doing things just now, he had no confidence in his speed.
"Taking advantage of my small talk with Friel, sneaking up on my booty to steal my booty, this kind of reneging on promises and promises is just your reckless behavior, right?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Triss caught a glimpse of Mandy's folly, and without hesitation stopped his actions with a "boiling sludge", and took the moral upper hand with a preemptive voice, kicking the wanderer into a moral depression.
Thorin and Cell's looked at each other, originally thinking that Friel tacitly dragged "Wesley" so that Mandy, who was proficient in stealth, could grab the equipment first, but he didn't expect that the other party had been on guard and did not let down his vigilance, because Thorin did make a promise just now, which would only sacrifice innocent wanderers.
The two of them turned their heads in unison, pretending to look at the depths of the cemetery as if nothing had happened, Mandy had no partner to support, so he could only stubbornly prepare to admit it, but as soon as the words of apology came to his mouth, he swallowed it, changed his face as if he changed his expression, and complained in a tone of indignation, that he had done good deeds but had not been treated kindly.
"Wesley, you're really wrong for saying that. You have just experienced a long fierce battle, and you have been walking between life and death several times, and you should be very tired, both physically and mentally. Just now I saw that you and Friel were having a good conversation, so I was ready to help clean up the battlefield and collect the loot for you by the way. But instead of thanking me, you approached my neck with a sword stained with zombie poison and pus, threatening my life. Of course, I can forgive you for your recklessness and ignorance, it is not your fault, and I also have a certain responsibility for not greeting you before acting. ”
Aldrich was indifferent, and had no intention of taking back the "boiling sludge", but his face softened a little, and the cunning wanderer saw it in his eyes, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I knew that to deal with these wood-headed knights, we must use both soft and hard. ”
"It's not bad to defend your own exoneration. I'll forgive you this time, and I'll not take it as an example. After all, there are more people on the other side, and the next thing is to rely on them to explore the cemetery, and Tris does not want to be offended to death, so he puts his sword back in the sheath when he sees it.
Breaking free from the threat of the poisoned sword, Mandy let out a sigh of relief, took three steps back unhurriedly, reached out and touched his goosebump-like neck, glad that his tongue was no less powerful than the knight's blade, but that was it, the undead in the cemetery would not be severely wounded or killed by his mouth.
In order to show his heart, the wanderer took out a silver mirror with a slight scorch mark on the back from his arms, "This is a gadget I found when I was exploring the ruins of the ancient castle, the surface of the rusty axe is stained with the poisonous pus of zombies everywhere, and there will definitely be residue from ordinary wipes, so there is no problem with using it." ”
Aldrich didn't refuse, he nodded slightly, allowing Mandy to carry out his plan, only to see the wanderer come to the rusty axe that had been slashed into the grave soil, and hand the silver mirror to the handle, and wisps of black smoke rose from the poisonous green pus mixed with the dark red corpse blood, as if it were burning violently and tumbling downward, like dew drops on verdant lotus leaves.
Mandy grabbed the silver mirror and dragged it back and forth a few times, then dispelled all the poisonous attachments of the rusty axe handle, and then stepped aside, his eyes signaling to "Wesley", and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Excellency Knight, it is safe and sound after purification, and the loot is completely yours, waiting for you to pick it up." ”
Aldrich nodded with satisfaction, walked over to the rusty axe, held the handle of the axe in his left hand, and the system instantly reminded: "Zombie Axe, refined weapon, damage 4-9, from the Cursed Necropolis......"
He lifted it easily, and after two circles, he slammed it the ground, and with a snort, the axe even the handle sank into the ground, although it was all fluffy floating soil, but the lethality was extremely considerable.
"Yes, it's handy, this heavy weapon is better than my sword. Whoa! ”
Tris threw the "boiling slug" at the wanderer, "Wash it clean with your silver mirror, and maybe I can allow you to swing it deeper into the graveyard." ”
Such a generous gesture made it not only Mandy, who was at a loss, but also Freel, Thorin, and even Cell, who were speechless.
It was Freel who recovered the fastest, she pursed her lips and chuckled, and couldn't help but compliment: "Lord Wesley, you are really a knight. ”
"Giving back to others for their kindness, and countering them with integrity for others' offenses is my way of knighthood. Of course, if you want to knock out my teeth, I'll fight back and knock out your teeth. Do not think that I am a knight and that I can tolerate you everywhere for violating my interests, but remember that there is no difference between courage and integrity, and between good and cowardly. ”
Aldrich didn't worry at all that the wanderers would swallow the "boiling slef", which was a "binding" weapon, and even if Thorin and the others tried to take it, they would soon regret it. It's a pity that just now he recounted his knighthood, and his words were too sharp, which frightened the rest of the people, including Cell.
The four members of the adventure team expertly exchanged glances, and after a brief exchange, they quickly reached a consensus, and Mandy followed the steps he had just taken to completely purify the "boiling sludge" and then respectfully returned it to Wesley.
Tris's gaze crossed over Mandy, staring at Thorin like a blade, and he looked at each other without shame, a hint of anticipation hidden in his openness.
"The promise I made will be fulfilled!" This knight's sword, which has the power of scorching power, is temporarily lent to the only warrior among the four of you, and I hope you will not live up to my expectations. ”
Aldrich sheathed his sword, then unsheathed it from his belt, loosened the hem of his robe, and held the end of the scabbard in his right hand, pointing the hilt of his sword at Thorin as he walked slowly.
Cell, who accompanied his companion on a journey of some distance, soon understood that Wesley's intentions were indeed sincere, and immediately stopped, nodded approvingly, curious about the true identity of His Excellency the Knight, and thought to himself: "A venerable traditional knight, like an endangered and rare animal, has extraordinary strength even in this mysterious place. He's certainly not an ordinary person outside, maybe I can use my father's connections in the Secret Police Department to find him out and recruit him to his command. ”
Thorin respectfully took his sword and started it, and it was still a little dreamlike that the sharp weapon that he had just been greedy for and wanted to get his hands on in every possible way came to him so easily.
"Friel is right! Wesley, you are truly a venerable knight, and you practice your knightly ways with reason. From now on, you are a full member of our team. ”
"And it's a trusted pillar that keeps your back safe when you venture out. Mandy the Wanderer added with a grin, easily brushing over the trivial suspicions.
Just when the atmosphere was harmonious and everyone was united, a piercing scream suddenly sounded from the depths of the cemetery, and Cell, knowing that the terrible floating ghost had awakened, hurriedly reminded everyone present: "Be careful!"
A translucent smoke-wrapped wraith let out a terrible howl like a frightened bird skimming through the gravestone jungle, its skeletal face covered with a black scarf and a tattered robe like a rag mop cut from a heavy sack.
Aldrich snorted coldly, picked up the zombie axe and slashed at the resentful spirits floating in the air, "hiss", the feeling of being powerless, made the reserved Tris almost lose his breath, and when he looked back and saw that the ghost that was divided into two halves was closed and became whole, he began to have a headache, and he was inexplicably surprised: "Physical attack immunity!"
Friel threw the ulna one after another, using them as javelins for long-range attacks, but unfortunately landed on the spot, but passed through the skull unscathed, and hurriedly beckoned Wesley, who answered him to retreat temporarily.
The wanderer pulled out his silver mirror again, the wraith visibly hesitating, instinctively cringing at the fact that the silver appliance had done some damage to its ghost's body.
However, standing beside Mandy without fear, it was the taciturn Cell, who was introduced by the wanderer, and only "cheered" this young man when he was introduced by the wanderer.
He turned the agate ring on the tail finger of his right hand, revealing the delicate hexagonal frost flower ring that was originally hidden in the palm of his hand, and the cold cold air gradually condensed, turning into a dagger-like sharp blade.
Feeling the shivering cold, the Floating Wraith couldn't help but rush upwards, climbing over the mountain over Mandy, who was holding a silver mirror, and grabbing Cell's head with dry hands like a bird's claw, this blow was fully powerful, and it would definitely kill the living who gave it the greatest threat, and even take his life.
"Shh
Due to the power of the cold element, the wounds of the ghost could not heal for a long time, and the undead creatures who had been hit hard suddenly wilted, and the claws of sharp nails staggered left and right weakly, but they were easily dodged by Cell, and the wanderer took the opportunity to pick up the silver mirror and split it down, hurting the resentful spirit on the ground and running away in a panic.
"It's not over yet!" Aldrich stared at the tumbling corpse gas in the depths of the cemetery, and then two floating ghosts staggered left and right, one with two gloves in chains, the other with shackled hands and slammed into his companion who was about to dissipate.
With a bang, the wraiths transformed into strange undead creatures, their size increased dramatically, like a three-headed dog with an all-round vision without dead ends, and the ghosts that were about to collapse after being seriously injured not only recovered to their original state, but also had their wizened claw-like hands and black smoke entangled, and small and distorted human faces disappeared from time to time.
Its speed was slightly sluggish, and it flung towards the weakest wanderer among the threatening ones, and Mandy, who couldn't dodge, helplessly picked up the silver mirror, only to find that due to the high concentration of negative energy, the mirror body not only glowed with a dazzling red light, but also heated up sharply, and the heat could not be controlled.
"Squeak...... Squeak!" The screeching sound, like a fingernail scraping glass, produced an unpleasant noise, and the wanderer who bore the brunt of it could not help but withdraw his hand, cover his ears to the ground, and roll out to dodge.
Cell's speed was so fast that the ring on his right hand once again condensed into an icy dagger, which spun and spun as it sliced and mutated spirits, striking hard at the wraiths in which the gloved shackles were kept.
Unfortunately, the two ghosts that were entangled and formed into one alternately took cover, and the injured wraith took the opportunity to absorb the free corpse qi nearby and slowly recovered from its injuries.
Aldrich Tris's heart sank: "Compared to ordinary third-order undead creatures, it has a fairly long blood groove and a talent for self-healing. ”
All this was so bad that the previously confident Sail couldn't help frowning, after all, his source of spellcasting was limited, and the Winter Ring was not omnipotent.
"Let me do it!"
Under the disbelief of the adventure team, Wesley, who let go of the rusty axe, rubbed his hands against each other, and a small pumpkin with a fist appeared out of thin air, glowing with a chilling orange-red flame aura.
