Chapter 14: The Curse of Blood

The lookout tower of the Western Fortress stands silently in the distance. Lavin, who had been standing and looking up for a long time, had an inexplicable joy in his heart. And he didn't notice that countless pairs of eyes were staring at them at this time. Just as they look at the Western Fortress, they are all determined to win.

At this time, the shaman took out a small black box from his waist. I saw him put the box on the ground and gently open the lid. With a dagger slash on his hand, dark blood slowly flowed out of the wound.

He dripped his own blood into the small box. Just moments after the blood dripped into the box, a thumb-sized white bug crawled out of the box, and as time went on, colored spots appeared on the bug's body and flew up slowly. After circling for a while, it disappeared from people's eyes in the blink of an eye.

"What is this, why do you still use human blood?" asked the shaman curiously.

The shaman pressed his wound and said confidently, "This is the Blood Drinker, and it will soon return to its mother." When it comes back, that's when we pass through the fortress in peace. ”

"Well, this is your filthy treasure, and there won't be anything wrong with the Great Chief!" said Raven.

"Don't worry! I'm still very confident in the medicine I made. Make sure that he is worse than dead at this time, and that he will not have the energy to pursue your faults. The shaman said, with a disgusting smile on his face.

Ravin didn't bother and walked straight back to the group. Everyone began to wait for the news that the shaman had to say.

As it gets darker, the battle between Durand and Walter Rhett continues. But after a long battle, everyone's physical strength has reached the limit.

Just as they were fighting each other, another team appeared from behind. At the head of the pack was none other than Duke Frank Reid.

The sudden increase in strength broke the original balance of the battle. Under the combined attack of many soldiers, Durand and others were captured one after another. The battle was soon over.

Just as he was tying up Durand and the others, Frank walked up to Walter, who was already leaning on the tree next to him tiredly, and the flaming sword* was on the ground. Seeing his father walking towards him, he reluctantly stood up with his hands on the trunk and said, "Father." You couldn't have come at a better time. Otherwise, we won't be able to do anything about them for a while. ”

Frank sat down with Walter in his arms and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to you and the soldiers, I don't think there are many of these Ok0,000 people." It seems that it is just the death squad that remains. The big force should still be ahead. You take a break here, and I'll keep chasing. ”

"Father, take me, I can still fight. Walter said abruptly to his feet. His legs were still shaking.

Frank was stunned for a moment, but looking at Walter's determined gaze, he agreed to his request. After leaving Jones Knight and the others to guard the captives, Frank immediately pursued forward.

Just after they hadn't gone far, a few people came scattered from the direction of the Western Fortress. When he got closer, Frank saw that it was Oven.

When these Owans saw the army appearing in front of them, they all stopped. Hands raised in a gesture of surrender. Frank and Walter looked at each other, both surprised. I don't know what the hell is going on.

But soon they came to their senses and arrested the Oman. After all the Ovan had been caught, Walter walked up to the men and took a closer look. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a man from the middle.

The man, whose face was covered in dirt and blood, was brought to Frank by Walter. Frank looked up and down and said, "What's the matter with this man?"

"They seem to have some divisions within themselves. I once saw this man preside over a sacrificial service. Although their leader was not found in this group, this man must have been their leader's henchman. Walter said.

"Well, looking at this person's dress, he should be a shaman. Their leader is not there, and there is a good chance that they will flee or die. Frank said.

"What must this man know? Bring him back and ask him to Maester Tom, and he will be able to know the information of Ovan. Walter said.

"I see, everybody has to keep a close watch over this man. There's still a lot we don't know! We'll ask him when we get back. Frank ordered.

"What do you want to know? I can tell you. But there is one request, and that is not to kill me. The shaman opened his mouth and said.

Hearing that the shaman could speak Wiki, Frank immediately became interested in the man. Frank immediately motioned for Walter to let go of his hand and let the shaman continue.

I saw the shaman kneel down and say, "Great lord, I am the shaman of the Voss tribe. I've been in this situation for a long time. So hereby petition you not to kill me. I'm going to surprise you. ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Frank.

"I suppose you must want to know about Owan, and you must not find a better person than me at this time. After all, no one here is fluent in two languages except me. Shaman said.

"Haha, interesting. I'm curious to know what secret you can tell. Frank said with a smile.

Seeing that Frank was interested in himself, the shaman said, "I can tell you that I have the most precious treasure of Ovan in me. I'll just put it in my pocket. ”

Frank gestured to his men, and sure enough, the soldiers found the dragon's heart stone from his body. Frank held the stone-like object and looked at it repeatedly. But what was so precious in it was that Frank didn't see it at all.

However, Frank sensed that the shaman in front of him might have more uses, so Frank asked the soldier to untie the shaman's ropes. Friendship was made to the shaman.

The untied shaman moved his wrist first and stretched. looked at the Owan soldiers who were tied up next to him, and said a word in a loud voice in Owan.

This sentence made the Owans present angry. He began to yell at Frank and them. Owan's behavior made Frank and others feel dangerous. He grabbed the shaman by the collar and asked, "What the hell did you say, why are these people so excited?" ”

"Haha, my lord. Don't worry, I'm just telling them that today's situation is doomed to Ovan's failure. Or obediently submit to you, so that we can all live. ”

Frank asked disapprovingly, "Can you explain how you learned our language?"

The shaman said, "Not all Ovan are so conservative. And hatred with you is not innate, after all, we once lived together on this land. Of course, there will be people who learn new languages in order to communicate. ”

"Why did you kill the Red Dragon? You should understand who the current owner of this place is. Frank asked.

"Have you ever heard that dragons can live for thousands of years? and all because dragons have a special ability in their hearts that can bring people back to life. Our Great Leader is terminally ill. So we need the heart of the dragon. The shaman said again. "However, we didn't succeed this time. ”

Frank said in disbelief, "Can bring people back to life?"

"This is the dragon's heart stone, the product of the dragon's heart condensation. It may be that this red dragon is not fully mature, and we only found this thing. Although it does not have the ability to bring people back to life. But it can be used as a symbol. A symbol of the victory over the dragon. This is very important for the entire Owanwan tribe. Shaman said.

After listening to the shaman's explanation, Frank let go of his hand. In his mind, he had a new understanding of this group of barbarians, and seemed to understand a lot of the confusion before.

Seeing that Frank was gradually letting his guard down, the shaman approached Frank and Walter with a smile. Frank was looking at the stone in his hand at this time, and Walter noticed that the shaman's expression had changed somewhat, and he subconsciously took a few steps forward.

Suddenly, the shaman raised his hand and pulled out the dagger out of nowhere, and threw himself at Frank. Walter grabbed the shaman's wrist and tried to subdue the man. However, it was at the moment when Walter caught the shaman. A stream of blood erupted from the shaman's mouth, and it spurted onto Walter and Frank's faces.

Such a situation was unexpected by both Walter and Frank. The soldiers who were nearby hurried over and knocked the shaman down. The shaman fell to the ground, mouthful of blood. Although it was not clear what was in her mouth, the angry Owan had all become quiet. Everyone closed their eyes.

As the shaman continued to speak, Walter noticed that the blood on his father's face had partially disappeared. Sensing something strange in it, Walter walked up to the shaman and pulled his head, angrily asking, "What are you doing?"

The shaman smiled and said, "Die!" Whoever gets the blood will bleed to death." No matter how much Walter fiddled with, he didn't answer.

It wasn't until he put his finger on the shaman's nose that Walter realized that he was dead. Seeing this, Frank patted Walter on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, I've heard a lot of this stupid shaman." ”

Walter deliberately touched his face with his hand and found that there was no trace of blood. He didn't know who to trust, but he was still worried about his father.

Just as Frank and the others were cleaning up the battlefield, Daniel led the team to arrive. The two brothers, Frank and Daniel, looked at each other for a moment, and Walter felt a sense of embarrassment.

Or did Frank speak first, "Daniel, how did you come from over there?"

"Oh, I just intercepted these Ovans over there. It seems that these people who escaped were dealt with by you. Daniel said.

Frank shook his head and said, "This is all due to Walter, without him we would not have been able to annihilate these enemies." ”

Daniel nodded and didn't say anything, and Frank saw that he had almost dealt with it, so he said to Daniel, "Now that the battle is over, I still have something to tell you." Let's go to the western fortress and say, where I will wait for you. ”

After saying that, Frank took Walter and the others towards the Western Fortress.
