Chapter III: Captives
The forest is gradually revealing its beauty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Purple flowers, squirrels scurrying, birdsong, and the occasional hare jumping briskly. At the same time, there is the intoxicating aroma of so many plants.
But none of the three people who walked in it were in the mood for appreciation.
The old paladin Canian was at the front, followed by Lyukrixia. Finally, there was the druid.
If it's an adventuring party, then the druids should be ahead of the curve in the forest.
But now the situation is different.
Now a druid is escorting two captives.
"She's still too impulsive, not a full-fledged paladin. Canian thought.
Just now, after the other party announced their identities, the two were ready to fight. When the other party stepped back in surprise and declared that she had no malicious intent, the girl rushed forward.
Canian had to join the fight, hoping for a peaceful settlement through negotiations. Both of them are strong crossbows, and it would be extremely foolish to go and fight the Starch Spencer Druid, who is known for his combat skills. In fact, even at his best, Canian was reluctant to clash with the Starch Spencer Druid.
Actually, the girl thought the same thing. But what happened just now, being held down, the evil wizard came with a lewd smile and wantonly stroked her with his hand...... She couldn't stand it. She was afraid to do it again. So, when the other party "revealed" the notorious identity, her emotions broke through her reason. She was the first to strike.
But after the first round of attacks, she regretted it. The other party is worthy of the Starch Spencer Druid. In one fell swoop, he dodged the combined attack of the two. He also found time to use an entanglement. In an instant, the weeds on the ground, the bushes beside them, and the branches above their heads all twisted and attacked them. The effect of this magic when used in the forest is amazing. Canian is a holy warrior and is naturally not bad in strength. Rushed out with a shield against it. And Liu Crexia relied on her agile skills and decent strength to rush out. The tangled branches reminded her of the nightmare she had just now—those terrible tentacles.
Although the opponent's magic did not entangle them, it also slowed them down. And the opponent took the opportunity to open the distance and cast the spell. As the spell ended, a huge black bear appeared, and pounced on the two of them with its teeth and claws. But Lyukrixia coped calmly. She dodged her opponent's slap and punched Big Dumb Bear in the nose as he devoured him. A vascular-rich nose is the weak point of most beasts. The attack on the sensitive part made the black bear restrain his arrogance and take a step back in panic. But it was distracted by the blow and didn't notice the sword that struck. Canian stabbed his sword through its eyes and into the brain, taking out his opponent in one fell swoop. This is the right way to deal with the beast, and under normal circumstances the beast itself will not be very strong in battle, but the dying struggle of a badly wounded beast is often extremely terrifying.
While the two were fighting with the black bear. The druids took the opportunity to continue their magic spells. A cloud of mist poured out, shielding him out. After dealing with the black bear, the two hesitated. Then he walked out into the clouds. Since the war has already begun, it is natural to continue fighting. It's hard to believe that the Stech Spencer Druids who believe in that strange philosophy will let them go.
Then the battle ended.
The other party seemed to be able to easily distinguish their positions in the fog. Clusters of locusts swarmed towards the girl. If it were in the past, a simple burning hand would have solved them. But now the girl who has used up all her spells is in trouble. Then a stick swept across her and struck her on the back of the neck. Knocked her unconscious. Canian quickly slashed at the druid's position at the sound of the voice, but it slashed right at the strange piece of armor, and the sword flicked off. The druid quickly countered with a wooden stick and fought Canion. Canian skillfully guided the other party away from the cloud gradually, and he was not good in it because he didn't know how to fight blindly. After a few rounds of fighting, the druid retreated and threw away the stick. The tired paladin gasped and took the opportunity to attack forward, but was dodged by his opponent. Then, the druid stopped moving backwards and drew his scimitar and left-handed dagger. Got into a fight with Canian again.
Soon, the paladin's movements slowed down, and he quickly became tired from his serious injuries in such a fierce battle. The opponent is clearly very good at fighting with weapons, and again and again he uses his left short sword to block Canion's attacks, while striking at Canian with a scimitar, forcing him to make a lot of dodging moves to drain his stamina. After Cannian accidentally made a hole, he had a druid's scimitar resting around his neck. "I surrender. Canian said, dropping his weapon. Paladins are not who are completely unaware of flexibility. The temporary compromise did not affect their faith. Unlike the battle with the group of ambushers, this time the battle was provoked by the paladins. Moreover, despite the notorious murder of the Druid sent by the Starch Spencer, the other party did not indicate that he was an evil person this time, and he was first explained after being attacked, and was forced to fight back after the explanation was invalid. Therefore, surrender at this moment is not contrary to Canion's convictions.
The other party accepted their surrender and tied them up with a smooth green vine. Then woke up the girl. Then he escorted the two of them to continue in the woods.
Walking on the road, the three of them thought about their own thoughts. Canian was uneasy. The Starch Spencer sent druids to be notorious, and experimenting on living people was one of their crimes. Canian noticed that the other party was deliberately trying to capture them alive, so he couldn't help but get a little nervous. He tried to take it easy, thinking that the other party had no malicious intent, and if the other party had malicious intentions in the first place, he would have ambushed them directly instead of standing up and speaking. But due to the notoriety of the Starch Spencer Druid, he still couldn't take it easy.
And Liukrisa thought something else. What happened earlier today still makes her still have lingering palpitations. At the moment, she has not really calmed down. Moreover, the current situation made her very uneasy. When she woke up, she was already tied up, so she didn't know if the druid had taken the opportunity to rub the gas. The clothes were still in good condition, which made her feel a lot more at ease. But even though she didn't have a back eye, she could still feel the druid's gaze at this time. Lyukrixia remembered the torn wizard's cloak. Even though she knew it would be easy for the other party to remove any of her clothing, she still wanted the wizard's cloak to be on her with her freely changing length.
At this time, Martin, the serf of the time, and now the Starch Spencer Druid, were in distress. He did not know what to do with the two captives. Now he is like a child who catches a bird on his way to school. On the other hand, he had a hint of impulse. It is said that after three years in the army, seeing sows are like elves. But even soldiers have a chance to find prostitutes. And he hadn't seen a normal person of the opposite sex for ten years. He spent the next ten years doing penance in the woods. Although Master also took him to the meetings of the Starch Spencer Druids, where he met the opposite sex. But the kind of woman with an eye handle transplanted on her head that shoots petrification rays and dissociation rays is an absolute nightmare. Now, the reason why he didn't act on his instinct right away was because he had told Master about his emptiness due to the lack of the opposite sex. And his master directly asked if it was a physical need, and if so, there were many solutions. From this, he pondered and realized that he was psychologically and physically in need of a person of the opposite sex to solace. So although he now has a captive who can do whatever he wants, he doesn't want to act impulsively.
But Lyukrixia was too tempting for him. Young, pretty, and a captive. These are gnawing at his heart all the time. It tickled his heart. In order to divert attention, he once tried to talk to the other person. But both captives simply told him his name, and then asked where they were going. Unbeknownst to Martin, his two captives were being tracked, and heading deeper into the forest was the direction the captives wished.
Martin couldn't talk to the other party, so he could only stare at Liucrexia. For those who know how to appreciate that beauty, Liukrisa is beautiful. Although the figure is definitely not plump, or even too slender, it has a unique beauty. "If it's not for the psychological emptiness, I want to communicate with her. Otherwise, I'll push her to the DAO immediately. Martin thought as he walked. Martin scoffed at the so-called "spiritual love". But he's definitely not the kind of guy who instinctively directs his brain. As the Starch Spencer sent a druid. He attaches great importance to spiritual things. Of course, there were also people among the Starch Spencer druids who tried to perpetuate their genes and tried to breed their offspring into a people who lived a life of immorality. But Martin thinks that kind of person might as well be a seal, a strong male seal tends to have dozens of wives in one year, and continues to have dozens of wives in the next year, and will completely change.
Liukrisa stopped suddenly. Martin, who had been staring at her, was stunned. Liukrisa turned around and asked, "Why are you staring at me like this?" Although she was still a captive, her momentum at the moment was not bad at all. Martin quickly replied, "Because I haven't seen a living paladin yet." This answer caused the two captives to shiver.
The trio moved on. During the break, Liukrisa asked the question again. Because that kind of gaze really made her so uncomfortable. Unbeknownst to her, the reason Martin was staring at her had been changed to "If I stare at her, cause her to talk to me". Martin was very happy to have another chance to talk. This time, the answer was, "I'm looking at your clothes, it's the Sea Soul Suit." The girl knew she couldn't hide it, so she confessed. At the same time, I am afraid that the other party will tear it down and study it. The curiosity of the Starch Spencer Druids was admittedly strong, and at one point the Druid spent 17 years studying the reproduction of a particular insect. But the other party obviously didn't mean that. After the break, they resumed their journey.
So, after walking a little longer, Canian turned sharply, "I think I have something very important to tell you. The old paladin said calmly to Martin.
Regarding the items mentioned in this chapter, it is worth introducing:
The so-called Sea Soul Battle Suit is a strange armor made during the Norma Empire. Speaking of it, it is impossible to mention its users. The navy of the Norma Empire is fierce and likes to engage in broadside battles. For this purpose, warships equipped with "Raven Seats" were also specially created. The warships of both sides, connected by the "Raven Seat", are very strong. Therefore, it is also a bit risky, because once connected, you will not be able to escape if you are defeated. But the Norma Navy did not think that they would be defeated in the deck battle and forced to flee, they were only worried that the other side would escape, so they must firmly nail the enemy warship. Its bravery can be seen. As a result, the Norma Navy has the reputation of "Army Naval Corps".
For this reason, they naturally have corresponding armor as well. Iron armor is naturally not suitable in that situation. Therefore, it is common for sailors to wear armor of other materials. The Norma Navy, like the Army, has a tradition of killing the enemy to boost morale, even for mid-ranking officers. Therefore, it is common for those mid-ranking officers to wear special equipment. The Sea Soul suit is one of them. It looks like a normal sailor suit. However, it retains the lightness and softness of ordinary clothing, while at the same time being tough, comfortable, and elastic. It is manufactured using specialty protein fibers. It has high anti-breaking strength. And then through the solidified magic, the defense is amazing. It is an ideal piece of armor.
