Adrian smiled and continued, "Like talking to trees. ”

There will always be strange things in the world that humans don't know, so people who travel a lot have a great advantage, know a lot of knowledge and hearsay, and have a much better ability to discern than others, and troubadours are the best in this category. Unfortunately, Tarrant didn't care about the rumors, which made him difficult to accept for a while, and he looked at Adrian in confusion to make sure he wasn't joking.

"Needless to say, the Cloak of the Emerald gives you this ability, allowing the user to communicate with plants, though it doesn't make communication with trees as easy as talking to humans. When the Grand Druid learns that Sgel has been killed, he doesn't take back the Cloak of Treewood, and he gives it to Grace in return, hoping that we can continue to investigate the matter at our convenience. With this cloak our investigation was much easier, and Grace used the cloak to communicate with the trees in the valley and learn about the town of Watt. ”

"That is to say, those trees tell Sù Grace, are the spirit suckers in Watt Town", Tarrant wanted to laugh a little, it was indeed the first time he had heard of the communication with the plants, and he teased a little jokingly.

"No, not so sure, communication with the tree is still very difficult, only vague and understandable words can be heard, Grace probably hears things like 'cancel, watt, action', can't be put together in sentences, but considering that there is not much to get back from watt town, we are here. ”

It seems that the information provided by those trees is effective, Garfield and they found the nest of the spirit sucking monster when they arrived here, then it is certain that the incident in the green forest mountain is also caused by the spirit sucking monster, and even the green forest mountain range has been incorporated into the range of activity of the spirit sucking monster, so that the territory of their activities is not small, Tarrant began to consider this matter to the worst side, the spirit sucking monster has secretly built nests in various places, and slowly moved the group from the ground to the surface, and the purpose is of course to treat the ground creatures as domestic animals, he needs to go to the found lair to see if there are any clues, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stop them if it is too late。

Tarrant got up and said to Adrian, "How are your injuries, can you move?"

"Look," Adrian smiled very gracefully, "always at your service." ”

"Let's go to that lair and see what clues there should be. ”

"That lair is now cordoned off by the local sheriff in case something unexpected happens, if you need his permission to go to the lair, let's visit him first, the sheriff's office is diagonally across from Nightshade", Adrian added, "You just have to say it's the investigator in charge of the Psisock incident, and your badge will give you permission." ”

When the two walked out of the church, the sun had risen high, and the weather was very nice.

Adrian thought of a question and couldn't help but ask, "Taranta, is it customary for the knights of the Sheltered Light to act alone?" ”

Tarrant smiled: "No, there is usually a fixed battle squad combination when there is an action", he raised his left hand and gestured to Adrian to demonstrate, first stretched out 3 fingers, and then quickly changed to 1, "This is a triangular advance queue, composed of warriors in the front line to resist the forward attack, and the priest and mage do spell auxiliary attacks under the protection of the warriors, or ......"

"No, that's not what I meant," Adrian interrupted apologetically, "I mean, it's very dangerous to investigate the matter of the Spirit Sucker, you've been tracking the trail of the Spirit Sucking Monster, once you really encounter it, how sure are you... Victory over the other side?"

Tarrant's expression became stern and solemn, he didn't seriously think about this issue, his hatred for the Psilocausts had a long history, giving him a strong motivation to track their traces, but he didn't think about whether one day, he would be used as a snack by the Psions, then again, even if he knew that he would be killed by the Psions in action, Tarrant would not back down, these evil creatures must be punished for their crimes, for this, Tarrant's profession is also different from ordinary professions, he is a paladin, but he is a trial paladin who has been trained by his rivals, there is nothing to hide, he replied truthfully: "The battle with this creature is an instantaneous victory, with the spiritual power of human beings, it is impossible to absolutely resist their psychic control, I can only say that compared to other combat professions, I have a slight advantage, I am a trial paladin. ”

Adrian nodded, "I see, giving up healing abilities to gain a special combat advantage over a certain creature, and your arch-enemy is a spirit absorbing monster?"

"Yes, my professional prowess gives me some advantage in fending off their psychic controls, but I'm not that stupid if I had to fight it alone. Tarrant laughed.

During the time of the conversation, the two had already walked to the front of a building, and there was a sign reading "Public Security" at the door. Two guards in white full-body armor stood on either side of the doorway, and when they saw Adrian, one of them nodded and asked, "Looking for the captain?"

Adrian smiled slightly: "I hope he has come." ”

The soldier opened the door, "He's punctual today, innermost room." ”

The two walked to the last room in the hallway, Tarrant knocked on the half-open door, and before anyone could respond, he walked in, Adrian had to follow in, and in the office, a man in his 30s was lying on a chair behind his desk yawning, looking helpless to do nothing.

The sheriff's job was indeed boring in a place like this where nothing had happened for many years, and the people of the town lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was no place for the sheriff to intervene, and for them, the hardest job was to "work" all day with nothing to do, which was expected by Tarrant.

The sheriff couldn't suppress the joy on his face when he saw a guest coming, he got up enthusiastically, and said with a bold smile: "Adrian, I'm so glad you came to see me, how are your injuries?"

"It's all right, I wasn't hurt much at the time, thank you for your concern, and introduce you to a friend, the Paladin of the Sheltered Light, Tarrant. ”

Tarrant stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm the investigator in charge of the Psionic Incident at the Light of Sanctuary. ”

The sheriff looked more enthusiastic, he stretched out his hand to Tarrant, Tarrant followed suit, the sheriff held Tarrant's right hand tightly and shook it vigorously, making Tarrant feel that this sheriff was still not inferior to ordinary adventurers in strength, and his long-term idle life did not completely wear out his combat effectiveness.

The sheriff laughed loudly, "Everyone in the town calls me Captain Mark, you can just call me Mark." He gestured to the chair in front of his desk for the visitor to sit.

Tarrant is not a reserved person, in a sense, occasionally very rough, he doesn't like to greet each other, he sits down and goes straight to the point: "Mark, I need to go to the lair of the Psicouckus, maybe there are some clues there that let us discover other nests, I heard that this needs your approval, and it has been sealed by your people." ”

"Yes, I have to make sure that the town is safe, after all, there are such evil creatures that have existed in the past, and many people who love to join in the fun want to go and see it, so that they can come back and brag about it, and at the same time, I can't rule out the possibility that the lair of the spirit sucking monster has slipped through the net, I have to seal it, to be honest, neither I nor the town's guards have entered the cave. I can personally accompany you on a tour if you need to,"

This makes Tarrant very happy, Mark is a practical person, efficient in doing things, and quite responsible, it will be much easier to investigate here with Mark's cooperation, and it will be more convenient if there is a need to mobilize manpower, Tarrant sincerely thanked: "Thank you very much, I believe that with your help we will definitely ensure the stability of Watt Town, and I and Adrian can go to the lair." Adrian nodded in agreement.

Mark apparently made up his mind to go with him, and said, "No, no, if something happens to you during the investigation, I can't take responsibility, and I'll go with you." I've got a team stationed outside the Psisphor lair, shall we leave now?"

In line with Tarrant's meaning, two doers can get things done together much faster, and they won't waste time on the details. Tarrant immediately nodded in agreement. Mark swept away his fatigue, stood up, and picked up a long sword from the wall behind him and placed it at his waist.

The quality of the longsword caught the attention of Tarrant and Adrian, Mark's saber was slender, and the sunlight from the window hit the sword with some soft light blue, which meant that the sword contained rich magical energy, and the hilt was engraved with intricate patterns. Adrian spoke first, "Mark, you didn't say that you have such a good magic sword. ”

Mark laughed twice, "This sword is a few years old, and it's older than me. My grandfather was a merchant, he often traveled abroad, and he went to many places on the Red Rock Continent, and my father has been following my grandfather since he was a child, so he liked to travel everywhere, but unfortunately my father didn't like business, after my grandfather died, my father didn't continue to do business, he used all his money to get a famous craftsman to build this sword, and then he began to live an adventurous life, my father liked to live freely without constraints. ”

This makes Tarrant yearn for it, to be able to do what he likes, completely abandon the worldly shackles of wealth and power, and wander freely, and when his goal is achieved, maybe he will take her to enjoy freedom together, if she ...... If you wish.

The other two didn't notice that Tarrant had already thought about it, and continued the topic of the sword, Adrian was even more curious, and asked Mark: "This sword has traveled many places with your father, I believe, this sword has some stories, right?"

"Speaking of stories, I'm not so sure, my father didn't say much about the things he was doing, but I did know that the sword had some magical powers, and it could tell the loyalty of the attacked, if the attacker had his lord. ”

"Rebellion?!" Adrian asked, surprised. It's an amazing ability, and it's famous. Adrian also knew a lot of rumors, he had heard of this sword, the legend called it "Rebellion", and if memory serves, the "famous craftsman" that Mark was referring to was the former president of the Redstone Fabrication Guild, Elsukin.

"What a rebellion", Tarrant's anecdotal ability in this area is not enough for him to know about rebellion, and Mark is also confused, he really doesn't know the history of this sword.

"Do you know about the rebellion that took place in the Komoh Empire more than twenty years ago?"

Although more than twenty years have passed since this incident, there are still some rumors, Tarrant nodded slightly, "That was the battle that directly affected Komohe Dili, before Komohe has always been the strongest army in the human kingdom, the rebellion has caused King Komoh heavy losses, although the soldiers who participated in the rebellion were not executed, but because of the betrayal, it is difficult for them and their heirs to serve the country anymore, since then, Komohe has also been much more low-key on the Redstone Continent." ”

More than 20 years ago, when Mark was about 10 years old, he still remembers this incident vividly, "It is said that in that battle, the rebel army was already stronger than the king's army. Previously, the king of Komohe had always wanted to preserve the strength of the kingdom, and the minister Derek advocated the gradual annexation of nearby countries, he could not bear the king's preservation policy, so he planned the rebellion, in the capital of Komohe Andalo gathered tens of thousands of rebels to attack the palace, the king's royal guard put into the most stubborn counterattack, the battle lasted for several days, the central city of Andalo was almost in ruins under the bombardment of magic, the most elite royal guards and mages in Komohe were also killed, if it were not for the assassination of the rebel commander Derek at the critical moment, they have changed history, and we Cerenso would not be so peaceful now。 ”

Adrian nodded in agreement, "Yes, that rebellion was basically like that, but Derek's assassination, I heard a story that Derek was killed by a ranger. At that time, Derek also had a sword master and battle mage around him, but he still didn't protect Derek, the ranger's skills and combat ability were very good, he resisted the attack and killed Derek directly, only a sword, stabbed Derek in the right chest, not a fatal wound, the terrible thing is that Derek's wound burst immediately, blood splattered out of the wound, and finally died of blood loss, at that time the high-level in the rebellion thought that the king still had an ambush of elite troops, so they gave up the attack and surrendered, and later learned that the ranger was not affiliated with King Comohe, and his identity was very mysterious。 According to the testimony at the time, the Magic Research Association believed that the Ranger's sword had a very powerful magical killing ability, and the most amazing thing was that the other people who were injured by the Ranger did not appear to splatter the wounds, only Derek, so the most likely situation is that the Ranger's saber has some kind of identification ability, but unfortunately this conclusion was not supported by the Ranger, and he disappeared after the successful assassination. ”

The sword still glowed with a soft blue light, Mark stroked the blade of the sword, trying to remember his father, to distinguish the loyalty of the attacked, it was indeed his father who told him, and he still had a question: "What is the rebellion about?"

"Since there is such a powerful magical power, and it has never appeared at all, it is likely that it was from the hands of the master weapon-making at the time, so the Magic Research Association asked the Redstone Fabrication Association for help, and the president of the Redstone Fabrication Association at the time, Elsukin, admitted that he had helped a ranger build a sword a few years ago, and with this identification ability, the name of the sword was 'Rebellion'. ”

In other words, the ranger who quelled the civil strife in Komohe was Mark's father, a hero who was forever respected by Komohe, Mark was very surprised, since he and his father settled here, he has been quietly ensuring the safety of the town, but he didn't expect his father, who was once such a legendary figure, he was deeply proud of his father, "Adrian, thank you for suing me about this, I always thought that my father was a down-and-out warrior everywhere, he never wanted to tell me about his previous adventures." ”

"You will be the same as your father, no matter what the conspiracy of the Psivac is, their final plan will definitely be unfavorable to humanity, as long as we find any clues in the nest of the Psivac and follow it down, you will also have the opportunity to create a new legend for the human kingdom", Tarrant's topic is always inseparable from the Psicus, of course, he is not wrong to say so.

"You're right, let's go."

As the three of them walked out of the sheriff's office, the soldier on the right asked Mark, "Captain, do you need to call a team to follow?"

Mark waved his hand, "Give it to me." ”

The nest of the Psicin is on a hill east of Watt Town, there are no mountain paths, and it is densely wooded, and it is rarely visited on weekdays, and now, a small team with the symbol of the Serenzo Empire is guarding the mountain.

There was a rustling sound in the woods, and the captain of the team saw that there was something unusual in the woods, and he was already on guard and ready to defend, until he saw that it was their captain Mark, who came to relax, "Captain, you can say hello next time, we are nervous to death every day, God knows if there will be a spirit sucking monster that will rush out and eat us." ”

Mark laughed loudly, "You bastards should usually train well, and you are not even competent to be a guard, how can you train through King Guò." ”

The guards all laughed, and one of them shouted, "We should seal this place off, no matter what, this lair is dangerous, it's almost a week since the people from above will come!"

The person above is naturally a national security organization responsible for the Spirit Suckering Incident, but unfortunately Tarrant is not, the Light of Shelter is just a non-governmental organization, an armed civilian organization that has basically been recognized and licensed by all countries on the continent, mainly providing aid and rescue help, not belonging to any interested party, serving the whole continent, so the Light of Shelter can be helped in all countries.

"Wait a minute, the Royal Guard is not as efficient as ours", Mark laughed, "Look at the Shelter Light, the investigator has already arrived first, this is Tarrant, the investigator of the Shelter Light, you will have to provide him with the necessary help in the future." The guards looked at Tarrant and the badge on Tarrant's chest, and Mark continued to ask, "Is there anything going on in the cave these days?" ”

The captain of the guard team immediately made a report: "Since the beginning of guarding this cave entrance, there is nothing abnormal until now, a qiē is normal, occasionally some wild beasts pass by in the woods, this nest should have been completely abandoned." ”

Of course, the possibility of the lair being abandoned is very high, and the purpose of the spirit sucking monsters now is only to secretly transfer their combat power to the human kingdom and wait for the opportunity to attack, if it is exposed in advance, there is no need to continue to save zài, and it is also possible that the spirit sucking monsters in Watt Town have all been wiped out. For any reason, the Psivalist will never reappear in this lair, and Tarrant is only hoping to find some clues, explaining, "There should be some traces in the lair that we can track down to the other lairs, after all, they were destroyed by a surprise attack, not a planned evacuation." ”

Adrian, who had revisited the old place, already knew a lot about the cave, and he walked to the entrance of the cave, beckoning Tarrant and Mark: "Let's go, soldiers, let's see this place, I will be your guide", and then picked up a torch that the guards had placed on the ground, and walked into the cave first.

An eerie gust of air came out of the hole, blowing on the man's hair, and Tarrant shrugged his shoulders and followed in, Mark close behind.
