Chapter 31: Don't Move!
Before leaving the swamp, Lear stripped the corpses of the twenty Bracada warriors and hung them from the bushes, and used Mrak's blade to carve his name on the chest of Gilde, who was driving the car, Lear of Palofodi.
It was an attitude and a declaration of his battle against Gwen-Magnus.
Adela strongly objected to this, believing that it would be unwise to put herself as the opposite of the Wizard King at such a young age, but Lear responded to her by saying, "Only this time, if you don't support me, then you can choose to leave." ”
The eighth-level magic apprentice lady finally chose to remain silent.
No one but Mlak knew what had happened that night, but he said nothing, and the others only saw smoke and fire rising from the bushes in the distance, and after another two hours Lear returned and demanded that the Blacada be hanged in the swamp.
By the time they reached the scene again, the carriage had been reduced to a mass of black ashes, with only a dozen non-burning rivets forever buried beneath the mire of Enris.
By the time Lear's group had traversed the Enris swamp and appeared on the horizon of the Dimonyath Prairie, time had already advanced more than a month.
During this time, they were attacked by a tribe of stone-throwing dwarves at the foot of the Crugian Mountains, and these cowardly dwarves took a fancy to the beauty of Adela and Guina, and shouted that they should be taken back and sacrificed to the great leader Hilde, and demanded that Lear and the others keep all the gold and weapons on them, and glorified the great dwarf Hilde's reputation until dark.
I don't know where the confidence comes from.
Enraged, Lear did not respond to their request in words, and when he began to recite the spell of the Ice Ring, the Krugian bandits realized that they had stepped on the iron nail, and that some of the brave little men shot stones at Lear with a giant slingshot, believing that if he could defeat a magician, he would be able to make a name for himself in the tribe.
His stone was shattered by a great sword.
Then the female warrior whom they coveted rushed into their ranks like a gentle whirlwind, and the other woman cast the spell of the Holy Spirit blessing and attack acceleration on the female warrior.
Gentle doesn't mean it's not lethal.
Eventually, the slings fled after leaving behind a dozen of their frozen companions and corpses, and Lear ordered Gouina and Mrak to hunt them down until the last of the slings' head was placed at Mrak's feet, and his violent mood finally calmed down a little.
For the next month, they faced harassment from the narrow-minded tribe of stone-throwing dwarves, the lowly cowards who no longer fought Lear head-on, throwing stones at Lear from the foot of the mountain, behind the bushes, and above the nests of swamp lizards and wild boars, and after Lear ordered the extermination of every team that attacked him and slaughtered nearly two hundred stone-throwing dwarves, the following conversation ensued between the magical apprentice girl and the young leader.
"You've been in a very unstable state since the night you met the Bracada, and now you're very violent, can you tell me what happened?"
“......”
"I'm worried about you, including Guina and Valenque, but they won't speak. ”
“......”
"I need to warn you that your current state is very dangerous, and if you continue like this, you will make a decision that will put the people who follow you in danger. ”
“......”
"Hey..."
Lear had gotten better, pacified by time and baptized by the blood of the dwarves, so when he breathed in the fresh air of the Dimonyath steppe and felt the scent of the forest in his face, he felt that the haze that had been suppressed in his heart for more than a month had almost been swept away.
The deceased is gone, and the living must live well, even the one who leaves this world with regrets but is still deeply loved.
"If I'm not mistaken, we're about seven days away, and we'll be in Sarabuto, the largest province in Dumon. ”
This was a fragment that Lear had struggled to recall as he traveled, presumably remembering that Dimon was the territory of the Terrans, and that the tall castles were full of temples and Cloudsdale where the legendary angels lived.
But Lear knows it's all true.
"Really, thank God! I'm almost tired of the rotting miasma in the swamp, fat man, come and look at the top of my head, I think I might have some fungus in my hair. ”
Valenk shouted, but Mlak ignored him.
"Let's go, what you feared won't happen, it's all gone. ”
Lear smiled brightly at Adela behind him, his diplomats had been worried about his condition every day for more than a month, and he had seen it, but he couldn't adjust until he left the damp swamp.
Until just now he heard the wind blowing through the meadow, and the crisp bird song came from the distant woods, and the fragrant smell of grass softened his nose.
However, the beautiful mood is always short-lived, there are always some emergencies or some stunned blues in this world, and at a moment when you are caught off guard, jump out and hit you on the head and say to you: "Don't dream and wake up, this is reality." ”
For example, the one who is now in front of Lear and others.
"Don't move! Robbery!"
Kenlo Haag wielded the barbarian battle axe in his hand to try to look as fierce and vicious as possible, since the great hero Tanan suffered a great defeat at the foot of the wall, Hag and his army were completely separated.
Wandering alone in the snow of Bracada and over the towering Ariland Mountains, he wanted to follow the veil of the vast Krurod Desert so he could return to his homeland.
But he was completely lost in the fairy forest of Bailders.
In the end, even he could not figure out how he had crossed the entire territory of Mudran and appeared in the woods on the edge of the Dimonyath Grassland, but as he passed through Mudran he heard rumors that a new nation had been established.
The king's name is very strange, as if it were 'Griffon's Heart', and the name of that country is Erathia.
But none of that mattered, the important thing was that he hadn't eaten enough for three days, and although he had rarely had a full stomach in the past year, Kenlo Haag swore in the name of his ancestors that the roots and turf of Dimonas were really the hardest things he had ever eaten in his life.
So after seeing the five boys and girls coming from afar, Hag decided to do something that was still a new profession for him.
Robbery.
Hag wasn't very satisfied with his performance, because he could see from the expressions on the faces of the five people on the other side that they weren't afraid of him, maybe because his tongue was a little knotted when he said the opening sentence, but what could be done the first time he did it, not even Lord Tanan.
In the end, it was up to the fists to decide, he comforted himself.
"Are you sure?"
Lear looked at the young barbarian in front of him and couldn't laugh a little, did he have to be so stunned that his brain was missing a string to the point that he wanted to rush out and rob five people by himself?
But the knotted muscles in the opponent's arms and the huge battle axe he held in one hand kept him on due alert.
"Yes, I'm sure, give me all the food you have on you, now! I swear in the name of the barbarian hero Tanan that I will not trouble you. ”
It turned out to be a principled foodie.
"What if I refuse your request?"
Lear found the barbarian more and more interesting.
"Then I will propose a duel to you, and if I win, you will keep the food, and if I lose, you will keep the food...... Brave Kenlo Haag will never lose!"
As if thinking that he didn't have anything to bet on, Haag exclaimed excitedly.
"I accept your invitation to a duel. ”
At the first moment he heard the other party report his full name, Lear made a decision in his heart.
