Chapter 11: The Red-Eyed Raven
Southeast of Tansfog, a branch of the Bounty Hunters, the main gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The wild man had already left, and the man in the trench coat limped a little embarrassed and walked in. Most of the clothes on his upper body had been torn apart, and the torn leather clothes stirred the wounds, which looked a little terrifying.
"Hadiwen, why are you so badly injured?" There were seven or eight people sitting in the guild, and a tall man hurriedly ran over and helped Hadiwin to the side.
"Waldden, you take the Anemo first to see the wounds, its eyes were wounded in the battle. ”
"Hmm. The wagging coffee dog was quickly carried upstairs by Wadden.
Isn't this Hardivin, he should have missed the way he looked... I heard that the task he took on was not very difficult, how could he miss... If you don't get it, you'll be demoted by the president... The rest of the guild was talking.
"Hadivin. "A silver-haired old man came down from the upper floor, his name was Maroff, and he was the president of this bounty hunter chapter. Due to his age, he was persuaded to retreat to the back line by the Bounty Club. I heard that he was a purple-level hunter before he retired, so even in the club, he was respected by many people.
"Mission..."
"Needless to say, let's go upstairs with me and bandage the wound first. Malov interrupted.
"Hmm. Holding his bloodied left arm, Hardiwin followed Maroff upstairs.
"Tell me what trouble you're in. Malough took a closer look at the scars on Hardevin's body and saw that it wasn't easy.
"As you can see. Hadiwen showed his left arm in pain, but fortunately the weather was cold, and the wound did not suppurate and fester, "This is a monster's masterpiece. ”
"Monster, with your current ability, the beasts in the forest shouldn't be able to move you in the slightest, right?" Malov took a green potion and sprinkled it on Hardivin's arm.
"Hmm...," Hadiwin almost fainted from the pain, "That monster is a beast covered in dark green crystals, more than three meters tall and immensely powerful, capable of completely destroying my counter-trap in just an instant. ”
"Crystal monsters, can you break free from your counterattack trap!" Maroff was taken aback, but he couldn't think of anything about crystal monsters, after all, his head was getting worse every day.
"Also, I found something even stranger, but unfortunately it was attacked by the monster, and I didn't have time to take it with me when I escaped. ”
"What's weird?"
"A long sword, a black long sword, is very rusty, but I can see some of the lines on the hilt, if I remember correctly, it should be the unique lines of Silver Shield City, and this pattern is actually polluted!" Hadiwin quickened his voice, as if forgetting the pain.
"A spell that can pollute Silver Shield City!" Marlof almost threw the vial out, "Are you sure you're right!"
"Can't be wrong, and in addition to the lines of Silver Shield City, there is another spell pattern! I can vaguely feel the energy flow on the surface of that stripe road, this is by no means an ordinary sword, will you know the origin of this sword?"
"No, I don't know, but I've heard that all the records about this sword have been forcibly destroyed by the people of Silver Shield City, anyway, you have a good rest here now, it seems that I am going to go to the club in person." Maroff straightened up and walked towards the door, "Do you know where that sword was taken?"
"I was taken to Noze by a boy, accompanied by a girl and a coachman. "The president actually wants to go to the general meeting in person, it seems that although this mission has failed, it is not in vain, and Hardiwin can only comfort himself with this.
"Knock!" said Wadden knocking on the door and entering, Anemo restlessly agitated in his arms, his eyes bound with gauze.
"Is the president going out of the house, I just saw him go to the stable to lead the horse. The wind god smelled his master, and gradually fell silent in Wadden's arms.
"There's always something going on when he goes..."Hadivin's eyes glazed over, his mind still immersed in the memories of the crystal monster, he regretted the counterattack trap he had set up in the first place, if he had replaced it with a cryo trap and slowed down the monster's movements, he might have successfully completed the task entrusted to him...
However, this childish idea only appeared in Hardivin's mind for a short time, and he could only blame himself for not understanding the trap spell deeply enough.
......
Nozer Border City, Gilberg.
"Ahh A few of them broke away from the crows, probably tired of flying, and stopped on the stone stakes on the city wall, tilting their heads and nervously observing the situation around them.
"These crows are really disturbing. Leah clutched her sullen chest and stared at the crows jumping around the walls.
"Ahh
"Those are just ordinary crows, but when the season comes, they start a small migration. Evan, who grew up on the edge of the woodland, disagreed, he was now only concerned about where the iron could be minted in the city, and he wanted to try the sword again.
"Where are you two going, I've already taken care of things, looking at this gloomy weather, it should rain heavily soon, and while the grass hasn't become muddy, let's go now." Alexon came with the carriage in tow. The townspeople have begun to pack up their clothes outside, and there are fewer pedestrians on the road, and everyone is retreating to the hearth in their houses to keep warm.
The weather was getting worse and worse, and the dense clouds were like half-wrung sponges, and if God was willing to exert a little more force, the torrential rain would soon pour down the whole land. The air had also become a little damp, and the nearby pastures were no longer in sight, and the cramped barns were crowded with livestock that had been out for a morning.
"The weather is a little bit worse than expected. Arlegon had already left Gilberg with the wagon, and he tried to keep the wagon on the gentle ground, lest the wheels slip when it rained.
"Ahh
Evan was startled, it wasn't his own voice.
"Ahh
Behind Evan stood a crow. It was a red-eyed crow, and he couldn't see where its eyes were, except that he was looking in the direction of Aven's back.
"Ahh
"Go away, nasty crow!" Evan drew the black iron sword on his back and drove the red-eyed crow out with a few "whoosh" sounds.
"Ahh
Tick... Tick... It was raining in the sky. The carriage entered a forest - the only way to the main city of Noze, the Giant Wood Forest (named because of the dense and towering trees that grow). This is a valley that has become soft after years of rain, especially on rainy days, where you can stain your trouser legs and even get some nasty pieces into the soles of your shoes.
The road grew narrower and narrower, steep on either side, and Alegon walked cautiously with his panting horses. Leah and Aven were dressed in tarpaulins and looked at a thundercloud above the forest with uneasy expressions.
The hour had not yet come at night, but it was as dark as late as night.
"Boom!" a bolt of lightning streaked, and the horse was frightened and took off with its front feet, trying to break free from the horseman's grasp.
"Boom!" another thick bolt of lightning sparked in the woodland not far away. The rain grew heavier, and there was another thunderclap, and the horse on the right suddenly ripped the reins, splashed up soft mud, and slid backwards into the depths of the slope.
"Aang!" the other horse also lost control, and Evan screamed, and one of them flipped unsteadily and was about to fall.
"Aven, grab my hand!" Leah grabbed Aven just in time. He's hanging from the back of the car right now, and he'll fall into a steep slope at will.
"Boom!" lightning continued to bombard the woodland, illuminating Aven's surroundings as well.
"Red-eyed crow!" a red-eyed crow flapped its wings and flew over, and although it was pouring rain, its flight was not hindered in any way.
"Ahh
"Damn, it's going to take my sword!" Evan hung outside the car, he kept patting his back with his other hand, trying to chase away the "thief crow" who was taking advantage of the fire, but the crow obviously wouldn't give up the opportunity, and began to peck at the rope on the sword with his beak.
"Aven, leave your sword alone! I, I'm about to lose it!" Leah cried out in pain, her left hand already crumpled to cyan, and Alegon was too busy controlling the balance at the front end of the carriage to care about Evan on the other end of the carriage.
"Ahh
"!! Aven" tears mixed with rain, Leah's eyes became difficult to open, leaving only a gray fabric on her hand, which was the last image of Aven before falling.
