Chapter 42: The Lost Atay
"Oh, damn it!" Altai snorted, closing his eyes in despair and waiting to die. The power of such a breath is definitely not its own, and it will never be the regular army of the empire. There is only one explanation for that: it was the thieves who attacked them.
These despicable and shameless bastards, if they went to cultivate the power of evil, Atai would not find it strange at all. Before joining the army, his father Mayne told him that the thieves were a group of bastards, and they were the best of the best.
"Ahh
"Huh?" didn't happen, and Atai, who was unharmed, opened his eyes in surprise to find that Aaron was standing beside him at some point, and the thief mage fell from his horse and looked at Aaron with a look of horror.
"You, you ............" The leader of the thieves never expected that he would be attacked by an inconspicuous young man, and what scared him even more was that the young man's power contained an aura of fear and awe.
"Aaron, did you save me just now?" Atai looked at his childhood friend with a look of disbelief. In his impression, only he protected him, and never thought that he would be saved by him one day.
Alun nodded lightly, there was no trace of pride on his face, but a strong murderous aura, and his eyes were frozen with a cold chill to the extreme, he- was going to kill.
On the side of the Silver Fox Legion, Gu Riches sat on a tall horse and pointed at Aaron on this side, and asked Delis, "Delis, that kid named Arun should be the soldier from Aquitania Province that your father said, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Gregory, how do you know?" Although Delis was gearing up to step forward and make a copy, there were several of Grege's henchmen guarding her, so it was not easy to leave the team!
"Hehe, Master Tony once said that this kid has the evil aura of the Abyss Plane on his body, and it was indeed the case just now. This kid's strength is extremely high, and even I can't help but feel awe of that mysterious and evil aura. It seems that his origins are by no means simple. Gu Liezhi said solemnly.
"Ah, even Uncle Gureji, you have such feelings? I thought I was the only one who had it, and if it weren't for this kid's average strength, I would ............," said Delis, in surprise.
"Average strength? No, no, no, with the resistance and unpredictable strength of his body, even if he encounters an opponent who is one level higher than him, he has the strength to fight. Gullie shook his head, denying Delis's view.
Indeed, the power of blood color not only tempers people's spiritual cultivation, but also enhances the body's resilience and resistance to fighting. Cultivated to the extreme level of a Blood Monarch, he is definitely a powerful existence.
"Uncle Gu Liezhi, can we make a move now? If we don't make a move, the prestige of our legion will be laughed at in the future. "Delis did not forget to use the reputation of the Legion to suppress Gurezhi.
However, Gu Lizhi only smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "No, no, no, your father told me that this trip to Memphis must be low-key, otherwise it will be noticed by the people of the Holy See......"
When Dai Lisi heard this, she was angry, and after waiting for a long time, she still didn't teach this group of bastards who bullied men and women, and when she was about to get angry, Gu Liezhi said again: "However, I won't take a detour on this road, otherwise the people of our legion will have no face in front of other legions in the future." ”
"What do you mean?" said Delis.
Gu Liezhi was still the old god, and he looked calm when the sky fell, and he didn't respond, but he drove his horse towards the thief who was waiting for him over there, and said unhurriedly: "This is the regular army of the Empire, you civilians quickly get out of the way." If you do it arbitrarily, hum!"
The voice is not high, but every word is clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present, this strength is not something that ordinary powerhouses can have.
Although your own side is strong, its combat power is definitely not alone. The eleventh-level Golden Knight, looking at the entire Acura Continent, is one of the strongest in the number. If a strong man of this level carried out the killing without any scruples, let alone these hundreds of thieves, even a few hundred well-trained soldiers would be difficult to contend with.
However, not to mention that there was no need for Gu Liezhi to open the killing ring, a strange phenomenon has been haunting him since the appearance of these masked thieves.
Not only are the thieves more numerous than the usual bands of thieves, but they also don't seem to be an ordinary group of thieves in their actions. When the guards of the caravan walking next to him stepped forward to rescue just now, the defensive formation deployed by the other party was actually similar to the formation of the legion, and there were even thieves in the middle of the action.
"The Empire's legions?" the fallen mage hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the group of thieves in the rear after several high-ranking thieves desperately rescued him. Soon, the mage came back and said, "Hehe, since it's an imperial legion, then we will naturally avoid it. ”
With that, the thieves gestured, and slowly retreated from the thieves who were facing the Legion's soldiers, including the group of thieves who were besieging the woman. The movements were neat, and the coordination between the various teams during the retreat did not appear panicked, just like the ebb tide of the river and the sea, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in an instant.
"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary thief!" Gu Liezhi thought secretly.
There is another person who thinks the same thing as Gulliege, and that is Gibson Jr. The difference was that his cheeks were covered with drops of cold sweat. He thought of the city of Memphis from these suspicious thieves. Could it be that these thieves ............
After a thrilling adventure, Aaron returns to his place in the team with a blank face, and Delis comes over with an inexplicable excuse to teach Aaron a lesson about the daredevil. As for Altai, he hurried to the beach as soon as the thieves had evacuated.
The woman was reclining under a small tree on the edge of the tidal flat, apparently injured.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Before he got closer, Atai shouted at the people from afar, and at the same time took out a few packets of wound medicine from his arms and handed them over.
However, the woman did not seem to appreciate Atai's courtesy. The woman glanced at Ah Tai coldly, there was only pride and disdain in her eyes, and even a rough person like Ah Tai could clearly interpret the wordless expression from her cold gaze: Get away!
Soon, the woman disappeared without a trace in the loss of Atay, as if she had never appeared. In the end, the dazed Atay was carried back to the caravan by Gibson and several other guards.
Looking at the direction in which the woman had disappeared, Gu Liezhi muttered thoughtfully, "What a proud girl." Back then, she was also ...... temperament"
As a hereditary nobleman, Gu Liezhi was well educated from an early age, and the elders of the family and the etiquette of the nobility did not allow him to use some rude words to describe women. However, others are not as tolerant and elegant as his bearing.
Aristocratic etiquette is nothing short of nonsense for a female knight like Delisse, who has been trained as an ascetic in the mountains of Narnia since she was a child.
"We saved her, but she didn't even say hello, and ran away without saying a word, how can there be such an impolite woman in this world?" Delis grumbled angrily.
"Damn, this woman is as cold and cold as a glacier on the Alforan River!" Gibson grumbled as he soothed a slightly depressed Atay.
"No, Gibson, even if you're my brother, don't say that to her in front of me!" Atai retorted.
"Okay, man. I promise you. Gibson shrugged his shoulders helplessly, suggesting a compromise.
Aaron, on the other hand, reclined under a maple tree and closed his eyes, and put a large leaf over his head to close his eyes and recuperate. He seemed indifferent to the discussion and condemnation around him.
Although the manticore lion is far away in the abyss plane, it can probably feel some of the conditions of the manticore through the connection of the soul.
After this thrilling episode, the speed of the team led by Gu Liezhi was significantly faster. The same is true for the caravan on Gibson's side, after all, the safety factor is greatly improved when marching with the Imperial army. Whether it's Gibson, the leader of the caravan, or the leader of the hired mercenary group, in the final analysis, they don't want their interests to be harmed.
After a day's travel, the silhouette of Memphis looms in everyone's field of vision.
"Let's hope these thieves have nothing to do with the gang in the city. Gibson muttered to himself as he rode on a rather strong horse. However, Atay, the only one who was close to him and moving forward in parallel, was in a daze from time to time, his face full of loss, and he didn't even notice what Gibson was saying or doing.
"This poor fellow, he must have been obsessed with the woman. Gibson whispered in his mind.
Ever since the last time he met the woman, Artai had been in this trance, sometimes not even noticing the trees he was bumping into head-on, so Gibson had to stay by his side or send someone to keep an eye on him after that.
"Atai, that woman has such an eccentric personality, she is definitely not suitable for a sunny person like you. ”
"I think so too, and she looks like she's older than you......"
"Her beauty is as dazzling as the Alforan River, but even then I don't like her, because she has the beauty of the Alforan River and at the same time is stained with the cold of the Alforan River, and I can't stand it......"
Before everyone shut up, Gibson and the people in the caravan tried to persuade and comfort him with words like these, but apparently in the end they did not serve the purpose of fixing. Eventually, Atai became more and more depressed, and he was no longer as lively and grinning as before.
Aaron was still unmoved by this, all he had to do was go to Memphis to sell the magic equipment and hedrons on him, and then buy some good magic crystals. Last time in Oklahoma, Aaron recovered some magical equipment and Chaos Hedron from the two minotaurs he had killed. Although the quantity is not much, from the perspective of Aaron's current eyes, the quality is obviously not low. These things may be good and practical for the average warrior mage, but they are obviously not very useful for Aaron's situation.
