"Overnight, everyone went missing. The man's face turned a little pale, but he knew that his answer was the same as if he hadn't said it, and he immediately added, "I mean the large caravan in front, the people of the Chamber of Commerce, the mercenaries, a nobleman and his personal guard, all missing, by the way, including livestock, everything that was alive was gone. ”

"Oh, thank the Lord. "The most important thing Shul wants to say now is to turn around and go home immediately.

Combat with real knives and guns is not terrible, and although Shul always likes to arrange everything in advance, suppressing the possibility and intensity of the battle to a minimum, so that victory is a matter of course, Shul himself is never afraid of fighting.

Over the years, hundreds of battles, large and small, Shur has long been accustomed to fighting, and the breath of fighting and blood donation will only excite him, and he will not feel afraid and retreat.

What really annoys him is not the fighting, but the weirdness and the unknown.

It is possible to arrange a battle in advance to win before the battle, but you don't know what is happening, how to arrange it in advance? You can't understand what is happening, how can you arrange it in advance? You don't even know who the enemy is or what it is, and you can't talk about it in advance.

It's a pity that turning around and going home can only be thought about, and it's not realistic at all. The Water Curtain Festival is a must-participate, and it is an opportunity that has been desperately obtained, and it has a great impact on the future arrangement, so it is definitely not okay to turn around and leave now.

Sighing in his heart, Shur did not express his thoughts, but raised his voice and said to everyone: "Children of the gods, we are the servants of the Lightless Moon, the apostles of Lord Darkmoon in the mortal world, today, under the leadership of the Archbishop's Holy See, we are passing through this place. Escorting us was the Holy Knight Kingdom Lord of Mushan, the honorable knight Mr. Baron. ”

As if to match Shure's words, Duck slightly adjusted the angle of the shield, and the noble family crest of eagle and wolf on the shield came into the eyes of the parasites.

More than half of the people knelt down in the crowd.

For these little people at the bottom, nobles, barons, archbishops, these titles have always been existences that can only be looked up to, just hearing a name, many people can't stand, plus heavily armed warriors, as well as casual magic skills, kneeling to express admiration is the only thing they can do.

"Very well, everybody has understood. A smile appeared on the corner of Shuer's mouth, and he said kindly, "As nobles and priests, of course we will not put everyone in danger, everyone rest assured, the next time we set off, we will escort you to the next safe city." ”

It's just an escort after departure, and as for whether you'll live until the next departure, I don't guarantee at all.

"In order to give us enough space to find out what is going on and find out if there is any danger around, we also ask everyone to return to their tents and try to avoid leaving, which will avoid a lot of trouble. Oh, thank you for your cooperation, as for the two leaders, please stay, I need you to provide some necessary information. ”

By virtue of the gap in identity and pressure, it was easy to appease the panicked parasites, and by the way, they were driven back to their residences, and soon, the camp was calm, although some people still looked out from the tent, but because of the identities of Shul and Dack, no one dared to openly disobey Shuer's orders.

"Alright, two. With a loving smile, Shul stretched out his finger and drew a circle on each of the foreheads of a man and a woman, with no practical effect, only spiritual comfort, "Rest assured, you are safe, children." With your ability to understand, of course you know that what I just said to them is nonsense, I don't deny that, hehe, since you are willing to be a parasite, then be prepared to pay the price, very fair, isn't it?"

"However, I can promise you both individually that we will do our best to ensure the safety of both of them without affecting ourselves. Of course, we won't care about the others, as long as they can survive until we are ready to leave, then we will naturally send them to the nearest city, if the luck is not too bad, it will not be difficult to survive until then. Children of the gods, you should be able to see my sincerity. ”

The man and woman looked at each other again, although there was no obvious change on their faces, and they hid their feelings well, but the sudden thickened breathing still exposed the excitement in their hearts.

"And what about us?" said the young woman known as Linda for the first time in front of everyone, "is it also sent to the nearest city?"

"Hahahaha. Not only Shure was laughing, but even Dark, who was beside him, burst out laughing from under his helmet, "Greed is not a good habit. ”

"You've made it clear that we're useful, but not too useful, so I'm just wondering how useful we are, and it's not greedy. ”

"Wise woman, smarter than you, you are lucky. Shure finally shook his head at the not-so-inexplicable comments of the male leader, "I'm not sure how useful you are, it's just more interesting now." But it doesn't matter, we can explore it slowly in the future, and the key issue now is to figure out what really happened. Oh, only if you leave here alive can you be qualified to discuss the future, and you should agree with it. ”

Linda nodded.

"We have a team of knights who have already gone to the big camp next door to investigate, and there should be news back in a moment, but I want to hear your opinions from another angle. So, what's going on?"

"Understood. Stopping the male leader from trying to speak for her, Linda whispered, "I'll do it, McCree." ”

The male leader, McRae, bowed slightly, inadvertently showing respect again.

"Unfortunately, we don't know much about what happened, I can only tell you what we saw. ”

"Nine days ago, we set out from Hurricane City to follow the Clement caravan as parasites, hoping to try our luck in the territory of the Emerald Empire. I don't know if you know that the large teams in the wilderness are not particularly repulsive to the presence of parasites, otherwise we wouldn't have dared to do so. ”

Indeed, the presence of parasites also has certain benefits for the caravan, although they will use the deterrence of large teams to avoid some monsters and bandits, but sometimes they can also distract some of the enemy's attention for the caravan, anyway, the caravan will not care about the life or death of the parasite, at most they are desperate and can run to the caravan's control to help, therefore, most caravans do not mind having parasites follow, although they are very disdainful of them.

"Everything was fine ...... the beginning"

"Wait, are you sure everything is OK?" Shure interrupted Linda, "including the attack of the Monster?"

"I don't have much experience, but the mercenaries in the team who have pooled their money to hire them think everything is normal. ”

"Well, you go on. ”

"But since two days ago, Clement's caravan has not been attacked by any more demonic beasts, and of course, our team is the same. It's not just Warcraft, there were two small bands of thieves who had been following us at the time, but two days ago, their traces disappeared, and we always thought that they were afraid of the size of the Clement caravan, and finally chose to give up, but now it seems that it is not that simple. ”

"Shhhh

"I don't know if the disappearance of the bands of thieves is a sign or not. Linda shook her head, "A group of thieves launched a tentative attack on us the night before, but we were escorted by four bronze mercenaries and members of the team were all armed with their own weapons, and they quickly retreated. ”

"No, go ahead. ”

"Last night, in fact, the Clement mercenary group was very lively, and the nobleman who was traveling with them happened to be on his birthday yesterday, even if he was in the wilderness, he still held a small celebration, and they prepared a lot of food and wine, and held the celebration decently. ”

"How do you know?"

"Because...... McRae and I went over last night. Linda's body suddenly trembled, and her face turned pale, obviously quite afraid, "We have a friendship with the noble treasurer, and this time we dare to follow Clement's team, also because the treasurer promised us that if we encounter the worst, we can go to their team to seek refuge, this kind of trivial matter, if he helps us say a few words, we should be able to follow their team to the destination." ”

"Well, yes, if anyone assures you. Duck affirmed, in response to Shure's inquiring gaze.

"Then you ...... last night"

"Their camp was brightly lit last night, and we thought they had been attacked from a distance, and we were worried about our way out, so we asked a mercenary to escort us over to see what was going on, only to find them having a celebration nearby. They also found out about us, or rather, in order to show that they were not malicious, we deliberately let them find out, and they were in a good mood and not only treated us to a meal, but also gave us a few bottles of wine. ”

"So everything was fine until then?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with it at all, and I think the Clement caravan is an old caravan, and Leinster, who leads the caravan, has run on this route at least twenty times, and is by no means a novice who doesn't know anything, and if there is even the slightest problem, they don't dare to have a celebration so relaxed. ”

"Go on. ”

Then they disappeared. Early this morning, our lookouts said there was no movement in their camp. At first, I thought it was too late last night, so today's departure time was delayed, but after two hours, there was still no movement over there, and I knew that something must be wrong. ”

"In order to verify, I took the people to their camp again, everything in the camp was neatly packed, and there was no trace of last night's celebration, which was the habit of their caravan, and they had to put their things in order before resting every night, so that the next morning, after packing up the camp, they could set off directly. ”

"After they celebrated, they were even ready to leave today?"

"Yes, the luggage, the equipment, the supplies, the goods, all in order, that is, everything that is alive is gone. ”

"Dark, blow the trumpet, call the four of them back. Shure's face was solemn, "I suspect they've encountered a ghost space. ”
