Although the weather has entered summer, the northland is still not warm - the northernmost point of Western Bunlyka is almost the northernmost part of the entire western continent. Although the weather is not as cold all year round as the inland snowfields because it is not so far from the sea, it is still "winter all year round". To live here, thick leather clothing is indispensable.

After all, this is a place where people can freeze to death in July and August.

In the northern part of West Brunei and the eastern part of Layton, the form of government is dominated by autonomous communities. The former is like this, and the latter is helpless - although the Republic of West Bunlyka cannot establish a relatively strong ruling system, they can have a not weak army. The kingdom of Leighton had tried to strengthen its rule over the eastern regions, but was quickly abandoned by the political offensive and threat of force in West Winglaika.

Of course, the biggest obstacle to Leighton's rule was the natural conditions.

The Northland is very cold, and only in some places with low terrain and suitable environment can a stable long-term permanent settlement be formed. For the people of the Northland, these permanent settlements are oases and paradises in the frozen ground. To occupy them, you must have great power, as well as harsh means.

There is not a single force that can gain a foothold in such a place that is not fierce and warlike. The Far Rising Emperor Leighton could get some tax revenue from them, or send a handful of elite troops - as long as they could pay for it, the Northlanders didn't care who they were fighting for. But if you want to really rule them, it is obviously completely impossible.

And in this harsh tundra, there are many large and small wastelands - rather, this is originally a wasteland, but there are some settlements scattered on the wasteland.

This vast wasteland is also a hiding place for many evil organizations. There are several more hideouts like this in the Western Continent.

For example, the tundra wasteland in the northeast of the Western Continent, the snowfields in the northwest of the Western Continent, and the Swamp in the southeast...... By the way, in fact, the grassland, the Great Gobi...... All in all, wherever it is not densely populated, there may be an unknown number of evil organizations hidden.

In fact, even if it is a densely populated place, it is not necessarily that there are no hidden evil organizations. The Wood family, who were recently "cleared" by the necromantic faction among the traversers, is a good example.

Wrapped in a thick fur coat and leading a thick velvet cow, the panda looks like an ordinary Northland adventurer, walking alone in this wasteland.

There are not many adventurers like him. The tundra wasteland is too dangerous, and those who are not strong enough to wander alone are no different from being sent to death. Even if you're powerful, it's too risky to go it alone – and who can guarantee that they won't encounter any bad accidents?

In this desolate frozen soil, once you encounter an accident, if you have the help of your teammates, you will die for a lifetime, and if you don't have teammates, you will die directly!

But the panda didn't mind that, the only thing he was a little worried about was the old cow, which was almost twenty years old.

Thick cashmere cattle are a unique breed of cattle in the Northland, not tall, but they have good endurance, cold and disease resistance, and do not need any concentrate feed. For the adventurers of the Northland, it is an indispensable right-hand man.

In fact, the panda doesn't need such a cow, he has enough supplies in his inventory, and he doesn't need any mounts for his strong body. It's just that...... The goal of his trip is to find a villain who likes to attack adventurers and eliminate him. So pretending to be an adventurer can be somewhat helpful.

After walking for about three or four hours on the moorland covered with shallow grass, and seeing that it was approaching midnight, the panda found a pile of rocks that could barely shelter from the wind, lit a bonfire, and wrapped his body in a blanket, as if he wanted to rest like a normal adventurer.

He had only been resting for a long time when the newly bought old cow suddenly barked in panic.

The panda sneered in his heart, opened his eyes, and stood up.

A black mist poured in from the south, and it only took a dozen seconds to completely cover the place. The fog was cold and heavy, and it contained an unsettling necromantic power. Under its influence, the campfire, which was still quite vigorous, quickly shrunk, and although it was not extinguished, the area that could be illuminated was greatly reduced, and the area that could be warmed was only two or three feet away.

The panda led the old cow and let it stop behind him, leaning against a large rock. He drew his sword and made a vigilant posture.

"Who!" he cried out in a voice that seemed a little sinister, "who is pretending to be a ghost!"

Inside the black mist, there was an eerie laughter.

"Why do ignorant people always think that the tundra is a good place to play?"

As he spoke, a knight in black armor and a horse walked out of the black mist, and through the mask, he could faintly see the green flames dancing in his eye sockets.

"Maybe it's because of the endless stream of people like you that this land has become more and more prosperous......"

The black mist shook slightly, making his figure clearer. At this time, you can see through the gaps in the armor that there is no flesh and blood in the armor, only a skeleton.

And the group of high-headed horses he rode clearly only had a skeleton left. I don't know how the skeleton of a horse supports two sets of full-body armor for one person, one horse and one horse......

Instead of panicking, the panda smiled.

"I've heard that if you stay overnight in the wasteland, the terrifying Necro Knight will come to you in the black fog - could it be that the legend says you?"

"Perhaps, but it doesn't make sense for the dead. The knight replied, "When you die, if there is a chance that you will become something like me, I can answer your question." ”

Panda shook his head: "I don't plan to die here. On the contrary, I am here to find you. ”

"You can see it. The knight was not surprised, "There are always people like you who want to make a name for themselves by crusading against me. But they're all dead, and you're no exception. ”

"Whether it's an exception or not depends on your performance!"

The panda shouted angrily, and shook off his fur coat with a flick of his hand, revealing the whole body armor inside. Divine power poured out of his body, transforming the otherwise modest armor into a work of art made of gold. And the long sword in his hand was so bright that it seemed to turn into a golden lightning bolt in his hand.

"Gagest, I am Panda of the Church of the Passion God. The panda rushed at his opponent, "Let you die today!"

In the face of the menacing paladin, the wanderers of the wasteland let out a night owl laugh.

In the next moment, he disappeared along with the skeleton war horse he was riding, just in time to dodge the oncoming sword of the panda.

Immediately after, a man and a horse appeared behind the panda again, wielding a thick sword with death runes, and slashing heavily at the panda's body.

A sword also appeared in the panda's left hand, cushioning it behind his back, just blocking the sword. But he was not able to completely dissolve the power of this heavy sword, and he was still stumbled and took several steps forward.

The Necro Knight and his skeleton horse suddenly vanished and appeared in front of the panda. But the weapon in his hand became a spear, and he stabbed him in the chest.

This is the usual method of the "Wanderer of the Wasteland" Gagest, with a continuous series of small teleportations, dodging the enemy's frontal attack and attacking from behind. Even if he can't kill his opponent in one fell swoop, he can force his opponent to lose his balance, and then his opponent must have spent all his attention on guarding against the dark sword stabbed from behind, but he teleported back to the front and launched a fierce attack.

With this move, he has more than once slashed powerful enemies in just a few moves.

But this time, his trick didn't work.

Faced with the fatal shot coming at him, the panda actually threw down the sword in his hand, and grabbed the barrel of the spear with both hands one after the other.

His strength is not inferior to that of the Legendary Necromantic Knight, and even stronger than the other party. With brute force, he grabbed the spear that seemed to be about to pierce his heart, so that it could not move forward a single inch.

Strength has always been the weakness of the Necromantic race - after all, all they have left is a pair of bones, which is precisely the dominant attribute of the bears. With the level of the panda, if you compete in strength, Glagst is really not his opponent!

The Necro Knight didn't expect his opponent to have such brute strength, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Ever since I stepped into the legend, I have rarely met anyone who can stand up to me with my strength. He said.

"Today you met. Panda replied.

"Well, it's funny. ”

"Since you think it's so interesting, let's die contentedly!"

The golden light turned into a sacred flame and burned along the pale spear. The spear forged in steel seemed to turn into cork soaked in fire oil and was ignited at once.

The relationship between the divine power and the necromancy power was originally so incompatible.

Glagst wasn't surprised by the panda's tricks - after determining that the panda was a priest, he guessed that the panda would use such a tactic. As a necromancer who had lived for almost 1,400 years, he still knew a lot about the methods of the clergy.

So the moment he saw the golden flame ignite, he immediately let go of the spear, and the man and horse disappeared again, and then appeared behind the panda, swinging his sword and slashing.

The trick is simple, simple to the point of being a bit crude. But it's such a simple and crude trick that makes it a little difficult for pandas to deal with.

"Sneak attack from behind" is always the most effective means of attack, even if you know that the enemy will attack from behind, you can't protect your back well. This is something that most creatures can't do about it, unless he turns from a bear man into a jellyfish, and can attack at will in all directions with dozens or hundreds of tentacles, he can only turn his body as soon as possible to avoid being grabbed by his opponent to a vantage point behind him.

Such a turn is not pleasant, nor is it easy. Fortunately, the panda's physical fitness is strong enough, otherwise, maybe just spinning like this is enough to make him dizzy and finally fall to the ground.

Of course, the panda doesn't get dizzy, but he can't simply spin all the time, but has to constantly change direction and position - he doesn't see through Gagest's ability to teleport position, and can only rely on himself to constantly change positions to keep his opponent from taking advantage of the position.

Gragst was also uncomfortable, it was not that he had never fought with a priesthood, but it was the first time he had encountered a priesthood like Panda.

The priests he had encountered before, in the face of his elusive teleportation ability, were all subordinate enchantments, completely protecting the surrounding area. Or use the Holy Power to launch a wide range of attacks, trying to cover him within the attack range.

He is not afraid of such methods, and he has a way to deal with them.

is the only one who saves his strength like a panda, and just blindly circles with him, making it difficult for him to grasp the position of the habit of "behind", which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Glagst is not a particularly formidable necromantic knight, and he is lackluster in all aspects other than his fantastic teleportation abilities. If you fight head-on, you are almost at the bottom of the legend of the martial arts department. If he can't rely on his special abilities to gain an advantage, then he will suffer more in battle.

...... Even if the opponent is not a legendary powerhouse, he is not willing to fight head-on, which is not his style.

So the two sides kept spinning and turning, and almost an hour passed, only the sound of footsteps in the black fog was heard, but the sound of weapons clashing was almost not heard.

"Hey, you're just going to jump around like a grasshopper!" the panda yelled angrily, "can't you just fight me honestly?"

"There's no need for that. An eerie voice came from all directions, "I can teleport like this for days until you're exhausted." ”

"Damn!" For this guy who has no strong demeanor at all, the panda is also speechless.

After another while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and made up his mind.

If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain, and the new generation of white-hat imams who didn't follow the new generation of white-hat imams who crossed over with me "I am the glorious Loricon" often hang on the lips of the mantra, which is still worth emulating.

So, he came to a screeching halt.

The chill came from behind, and Gragust suddenly appeared behind him, swinging his heavy runic sword and slashing at his vest.

But this time, the panda didn't dodge, but let the sword slash him. The powerful divine power condensed behind him, and although it was a little reluctant, it still blocked the sword.

At the same time, a magic scroll suddenly appeared in his hand, burning to ashes in the blink of an eye. Several chains of blue light emerged from the direction of the scroll, completely enveloping the surrounding area.

Of course, Glagst was on guard against this, and his armor glowed with purple-black light, and when the blue chain met this purple-black light, it was like encountering something that was not slippery, and it suddenly slipped to the side.

The panda was not surprised, but took out a second magic scroll.

Immediately after that, there are the third and fourth......

Gragest let out a sound of surprise.

Soon, the chains of light trapped him.

The panda laughed, turned around, and regardless of the sword that the other party slashed at him, he rushed directly forward, and hugged the necromantic knight who had temporarily lost the ability to teleport.

Golden flames erupted from his body, blazing,

By the time it was light, the black fog had already cleared. The tired panda reappeared, and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the old cow that had survived the legendary war, and at the mess nearby.

"What do you have to do with staying in the world, what do you have to do when it's time to leave!
