Chapter 38: The Harpy Witch

Coincidentally, the task of the Chamber of Commerce that Mrak and the others took over was to escort the supplies to the small town of Burran, so that Lear, who was still worried about whether there would be anything wrong with the separate actions, could finally rest assured.

But he was still not happy.

Not because he missed out on the opportunity to make a lot of money, or because of the upcoming battle, but because he felt that he was in dire need of a space gear.

The wisteria armor was fine, and he could wear it under his clothes, but he couldn't walk on a bulky unicorn helmet all the time, and the helmet was about to strangle his neck, so Lear had to take the helmet off and pin it to his waist.

He looks like a Chania farmer.

It's just that when I think of the high price of space equipment - a space ring of about one square meter actually costs two thousand gold coins, and Lear can't even think of a more expensive space necklace with a larger storage capacity.

After touching the shriveled money bag with only a few dozen gold coins and a few copper coins left after paying the deposit, the young mage was not happy, very unhappy.

If there was anything else that could make him happy, it was that Guina's silver shield was indeed very beautiful, and it was also very strong and practical, and after the shield was returned, Lear had asked the barbarian to cut it with an axe a few times, and if it was damaged, he would immediately take it back and return it, but unfortunately Hag spit hard twice on his hand and then raised his axe to slash at the shield three times, and the silver shield was unharmed.

This puts Lear's money-saving plan to a halt, and it also proves that Haag has a unique eye for armor, and Lear still can't forget the savage's triumphant expression.

I really want to stuff the insole in his mouth.

The team made their way towards the town of Burland in a bumpy ride, and in addition to Lear and the others, there were also guards hired by the comptoir's own company. Originally, it was rejected for people of unknown origin to join the Chamber of Commerce, but after Lear and Adela revealed their identities as magicians, a flower almost bloomed on the shopkeeper's face.

You don't have to pay a penny of extra fees, you can get two mage's bodyguards, and whoever you put on this thing will jump happily, you must know that these people in the Chamber of Commerce call mages greedy vampires behind their backs, and if you want to seek the help of the mage master, a large bag of gold is indispensable.

"How long will it take?"

Lear pulled back the curtain of the carriage and asked the chief of the guard beside him.

As a sign of the Chamber of Commerce's respect for the magician, they specially equipped Lear and Adela with this luxurious carriage, but Mrak and the others did not have this treatment, so they could only run after the group.

"Come on, my lord, we will be able to reach Bourland in two hours after crossing the high hill ahead, but in an hour we will be in the valley infested by the harpy, and we will have your help then. ”

The Captain of the Guard was polite, and even though Lear looked much younger than him, his status as a magician alone was enough to arouse his awe, after all, it was still too mysterious and lonely for ordinary people.

"Are you ready?"

Lear lowered the curtain and asked Adela beside him, to whom the mage nodded.

An hour later, the convoy had entered a narrow valley as the captain had expected, with high cliffs on either side of the valley sandwiching the valley into a line of terrain that could only allow a carriage to pass through, and even the guards could only follow behind the carriage.

Because of the harpy's ravage, the locals call the area the Valley of Death, and just halfway through the narrow passage, Lear hears a hissing overhead.

"Come on, be happy..."

Lear pricked up his ears and listened, but the more he listened, the more the corners of his mouth twitched, and Adela looked at him inexplicably, and had to show his caring eyes again.

"Be on guard!! cover your ears and don't listen to their singing!"

From behind the carriage came the shouts of the guards, as a veteran who had traveled back and forth this road many times, he knew very well that these monsters above his head were powerful, not only did they have absolute air superiority, but those who were bewitched by their songs would usually lose their sense of self and let them slaughter.

But the captain's warning was obviously too late, and the first time those ordinary guards heard the banshees' singing, their eyes appeared scattered and confused.

Adela had barely begun to chant the spell of the exorcism when Lear stopped him.

"Save some magic in useful places. ”

At this moment, what she saw in his eyes was reason, as well as indifference.

The shadows hovering in the air began to dive at an accelerated pace, and under the shouting and beating of the captain of the guard, a few warriors finally regained their senses, but after they pulled out their long swords at their waists in confusion, they still did not know where their enemies were.

"Mrak, Guyna, Hag!"

Lear jumped out of the carriage and shouted, in fact, he didn't need to open his mouth A few warriors were already approaching him in the first place, but Valenk stood there with misty eyes and an obsessed expression on his face.

"Attack accelerated!" Holy Spirit Blessing!"

Lear yells at Adela behind him, and then he himself recites an exorcism, and Valenque returns to normal.

But Adela's mana was only enough to bless two people, and after casting the spell, her body shook and she had to grab the handrail of the carriage.

"Guina protect her! Mrak and Haag are going to take those pesky shemales down!"

After blessing Haag, Lear issued a battle order, then threw the scroll containing the magic arrow to Valenk and instructed him to shoot whoever was closest to the ground, while he retreated to the back of the carriage and quietly hidden.

This series of non-stop battle orders finally showed his level as a captain for the first time.

The Harpy Banshees hovering in the sky were not small, there were almost twenty of them at a glance, and after the first round of charm, there were less than ten people on the caravan's side, including Lear, who still maintained their combat effectiveness.

The guards were basically in a sluggish state, and the captain stabbed them one by one with his long sword to wake them up with pain, but half of the harpies had already swooped down.

"Ahh

One of the guards let out a terrible scream, and he was grabbed by the shoulder blades of a harpy, the sharp claws grabbing his collarbone directly, and the wings flapped a few times lifted his feet off the ground.

Although they look thin, the banshees clearly contain great strength in their bodies.

"Valenk!"

Lear let out an angry roar from behind the carriage, and the magic apprentice scrambled to unfold the scroll, but several attempts to condense his mental power failed.

An aqua blue light slammed into the harpy's back, and the monster screamed and fell to the ground, a puddle of liquid soaking the ground under the crotch of the surviving guard, and then flowing over the banshee's corpse.

Adela leaned against the carriage frame with a pale face, and Guina quickly reached out to help her.

Haag rushed to the top of the wagon transporting the goods, the sack held high up to bring him closer to the sky, and he swung his tomahawk at a banshee, but the other seemed to sense his terror and fled far away.

"Die!"

With a roar of rage, Mrak's newfound sword slashed across his head, leaving behind his bird-like talons and slamming into Haag's side, who ended her life with the hilt.

The swooping banshees stopped after fierce resistance, flapping their wings in the air and letting out a wail high in the air, and more banshees began to dive towards the ground, their dense wings shattering the sunlight that spilled it.

"Magic Arrow!"

Valenk, who had never used a scroll before, couldn't think of the corresponding spell, and in a hurry, he simply called out the name of the spell, and a pale white light left his arm, and shot the banshee that had quietly appeared above Guina's head in the direction of his finger.

"Quack!" After a piercing scream, only a few scattered black feathers remained in the sky.

But there were more and more banshees, and heavy casualties began to appear on the side of the caravan.

Two of the guards were directly scratched by their heads, and one lost his eyes, and the warrior who had escaped death just now was thrown to the ground by a banshee, and the sharp claws directly broke through his chest, revealing the beating heart inside.

"Momrak!

Lear gave the command again, standing on the ground can only be passively defensive, those ugly youkai can't do anything if they don't come down, although standing on the roof of the car won't improve much, but at least you can grasp a little bit of initiative, and the target is more obvious.

If you don't want those abominable youkai bent on slaughtering ordinary caravan guards.

Lear had no intention of striking again except for blessing Haag with two states, and he waited quietly in the shadow of the carriage, his eyes fixed on the banshees flying in the air.

Only he seemed to know what was going to happen behind that.

Then he saw a pair of white wings, with a wider wingspan than a normal harpy, and a thicker front paw for her legs.

The wings whistled towards the crowd.
