Chapter 48: The Flame of Despair (Part II)
Six months later, one summer evening. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The combination of three people, a tall mercenary dressed in a somewhat tattered gray linen robe, a robe magician with a white hood, and a handsome black-clothed swordsman.
At this moment, the combination of three people was slowly walking towards the mercenary union, and everyone had a thick tiredness on their faces.
"I said, should we find a hotel first, my clothes are a little dirty. "It wasn't the sorceress who said this, but the handsome swordsman.
"Alright, if you didn't have nothing to do to mess with that fire dragon, wouldn't we be in such a mess. The sorceress complained, "Tianlan said that he had promised Mr. Cole that he would complete these tasks within six months, and today was the last day, and he didn't want to lose his trust." ā
"Anglin, bear with me, Mr. Cole has helped us a lot. If we can't deliver the task on time, it will be difficult for him to do it. Serena, please check the quest items we've collected again. ā
"Okay, well, I'll take a look. As she spoke, Serena pulled out a huge backpack from the spatial ring and began to count it.
"A set of imperial rhinoceros skins, and horns. Two purple cloud clam jade beads, an S-class quality two-handed sword, well, I hate that dwarf, don't take this kind of task next time, even if you take it, don't look for a dwarf forger. And, by the way, there's this, a topographical map of the Land of Sighs, next time I go, I'll definitely teach that stupid dragon a good lesson. ā
Each of these items that Serena counted was enough to make the large mercenary groups go crazy. The collection of the four items is all A-class tasks that have been suspended in the Mercenary Guild for many years, and each item is a rare item that is difficult to estimate.
Among them, a single set of Emperor Rhino can make at least five sets of extremely sophisticated A-class armor, and the horns of the Emperor Rhino can be ground into powder, which is one of the favorite materials used by foundries. The cloud clam jade bead can warm the spiritual sea, and it is a rare treasure for magicians. Needless to say, there are only a few S-level weapons that are born every year in the entire Norfang Continent.
As for the topographical map of the Land of Sighs, it was a quest that had long been on the list of Mercenary Guilds. In general, for tasks such as detecting terrain, even if it is a few dangerous places, the difficulty is only B-level. After all, for those with unique means of concealment, detecting the terrain of the Jedi is not a difficult task. But the Land of Sighs is an exception, this quest was issued by the Mercenary Guild, and it was only rated B at first, but for up to three years after the quest was released, no one was able to complete this seemingly simple task. So much so that the mercenary guild made an exception to raise it to A-level difficulty, you must know that even a large A-level mercenary group can complete no more than three A-level tasks per year.
"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Cole. While speaking, the three of them had already arrived at the hall of the mercenary union, and Tianlan found a reception where no one was queuing up, and asked the reception staff.
"Mr. Cole has just come home, something seems to have happened in his house, are you a friend of Mr. Cole?"
Ye Tianlan's eyes suddenly became a little terrifying, and there was a terrifying aura on his body.
"What's going on in Mr. Cole's house?"
In the past six months, Cole has given Ye Tianlan a lot of help. Every time I go out to do a mission, it can be as short as a few days or as long as half a month, and when I return to Norvi City, Cole is always helping Ye Tianlan arrange everything. Although she is not sociable, Ye Tianlan has regarded Cole as her confidant and friend for a long time.
Ye Tianlan knew that because of the relationship between making an exception and allowing herself to accept a batch of A-class tasks, Cole had offended many people in the mercenary guild and was under tremendous pressure. If it was because of this, it affected Cole and his family, Tianlan would definitely not be able to forgive herself.
"I don't know the specifics, except that Mr. Cole has just rushed home in great eagerness. The female receptionist was shocked by Tianlan's momentum, and her face turned pale.
"Tianlan, don't worry, let's go to Mr. Cole's house and have a look. Serena stepped forward and comforted.
"I'll go first, Anglin, Serena please. ā
With that, Ye Tianlan rose directly from the hall and rushed out of the hanging window of the hall with a brilliant golden fighting spirit.
The golden light streaked across the sky like a meteor, and in an instant, Ye Tianlan came to Cole's house.
At this time, Cole's home has been shrouded in a sea of fire, and Cole, who is covered in blood, is fighting a group of men in black like crazy, and behind him is Mu Zhu, who has fainted.
For a moment, Ye Tianlan felt as if her chest was about to be burst by monstrous anger.
"Attack the sword, wind and thunder lion fangs!"
Black long sword, golden fighting spirit.
Purple thunder, red flames.
In an instant, the originally fierce black-clothed swordsman was suppressed by Ye Tianlan, and the blue and purple sword turned into a huge lion head, fiercely biting at the enemy in front of him. A bright, somewhat dazzling blue-purple glow flashed, and the group of black-clothed men of unknown origin didn't even have time to be stunned, and they dissipated into the air like burning confetti.
Ye Tianlan put away the black sword and tried her best to control the anger in her heart.
"Cole, how are you, who are they?"
"Huh, Tianlan, it's you, it's ...... It's the people of the Holy See. Quick, help me see how Muzhu is doing......" After seeing Tianlan, Cole let go of that breath, but he still couldn't hide the grief on his face.
Ye Tianlan hurriedly picked up Mu Zhu, who had fainted on the ground, took out two pills, one black and one white, and gave her a dose. And at this time, Serena and Anglin also rushed over.
"There are no obvious external injuries, is it mental damage?"
"No, it's not. The Spirit Sea is fine, but it has dried up completely, and there is no sign of recovery. The elemental fluctuations in her body have almost disappeared......" Serena frowned and said, as a magician, she was the most sensitive to the changes in spiritual power and elements, if it weren't for Mu Zhu's breath at this moment, she would definitely think that Ye Tianlan was holding a corpse in her arms.
"It's Muzhu's family secret skill, the deadwood sword, ask for ...... Please, save Muzhu, I, I can't lose her anymore. Cole, who had just stood with his sword in his hand, suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Tianlan, pleading with tears on his face.
"Deadwood Sword?" Tian Lan was a little surprised, but didn't say much, just frowned. Tian Lan had heard that the Zhaohe royal family had a secret technique that could instantly drain all the physical and mental power of the user, and burst out with extremely strong strength. It's just that the damage of this kind of secret technique to the user is also huge, the mental power is exhausted, and the blessing of the fighting spirit is lost, and the body is completely out of strength, even if it is a high-level healing magic, it is difficult to treat.
"I'll give it a try. The magic of the light system is definitely not working, and her body is too fragile now. I can try it with water magic. ā
"Gentle, loving goddess of water, I hereby pray earnestly to grant your devotees the purest water, in the name of salvation, the purest, the first blue water!"
With a muffled chanting, an ethereal image of the goddess glowing blue appeared behind Serena. Serena's index finger tapped in the air, and the goddess virtual image condensed into drops of azure water, slowly sinking into Mu Zhu's body. Muzhu's frowning brow finally relaxed, and Selena also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whew, it's dangerous. "This process may seem easy, but it actually requires a lot of elemental control from the caster. The elemental fluctuations of high-level magic are inherently strong, and stabilizing the elemental fluctuations of a twelfth-order magic to this level is no less difficult than releasing a high-level forbidden spell.
"Her spiritual sea has begun to recover, and there should be no problem with Le. I can wake her up right now, just ......"
Although Serena did not continue, everyone understood what she meant.
Cole's grief-stricken expression, Mu Zhu's blow of life abandoned, burned the house to ruins.
What I can't see is the boy who is always a little shy.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Cole muttered softly, his already scarred body falling limply to the cold ground.
In the sea of fire, only Ye Tianlan and the three of them remained, looking at the two people who fell to the ground, silent.
