Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mage's Luck

Lear eventually leaves the chamber dejected, standing at the window and glancing at the five-story tower in the distance, thinking that he might not be favored by Lady Luck.

The opportunity to enter the Magic Guild was not easy to come by, and the druids were very friendly to him now, but the war went on to this extent, maybe when Lucky City was breached by the Erathians, and then his fate might not be much better than the two magicians he gave to the foresters, and it was very likely that the Erathians shouted that the heretics were going to die and then tied him to the stake to sacrifice to the god of war, Ardis.

Lear, who had originally planned to fish in troubled waters and leave with a vote, was now very entangled, he touched the space ring he had snatched from Adridrid on his hand and looked at the magic guild in the distance, after all, he was still a little unwilling.

He was not a dragon, and although gold and silver treasures could bring him pleasure, they could not bring enough security, and only strength and magic were what he really desired.

Ay.

Mercury is really a good thing, but where to get it?

When they returned to the makeshift guest house, Hag and Ivo were sitting on the threshold chattering, two contrasting figures of black, green, strong and thin, and they saw Lear coming over with a drooping face, and hurriedly restrained their lewd laughter and immediately stopped.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Ivo stabbed Haag in the waist with his elbow, and the barbarian immediately said with sincere concern on his face.

"It's okay, poor cancer has attacked, I'll be alone for a while. ”

Lear said weakly and walked through the gap between the two, leaving Hag and Ivo scratching their heads in the doorway.

What is poor cancer?

Early the next morning, everyone woke up from their dreams under Lear's shouts, and when they came out fully dressed, the young mage was already sitting on horseback and nibbling bread, and after thinking about it all night, Lear still wanted to work harder, without his own base, even if he was rich, he was likely to become a fat gopher in this troubled world, and he might be dug up at any time.

After all, he is not arrogant enough to think that 'Lao Tzu is the best in the world now', if this wealth can be turned into power in the short term, and at the same time, he can gain more friendship from the elves, this is undoubtedly a better choice for him.

So when Ivo asked where the team was going, he waved his hand and pointed south, he was going to try his luck in the forest behind him, he was going to bypass Hammondale and try his luck in the back forest, maybe the Erathian logistics convoy would have what he needed.

The road is long, and I will go everywhere to rob.

............

Seven days later, near this side of Erathia, near the Forest of No Return, in the dense jungle on the shore of a small lake beneath the mountain, Lear and a group of men were lying on the grass with their bodies bored.

Since the war entered the stalemate stage, the two sides, especially the Erathians, have greatly reduced the scope of their defenses, and in contrast, they have produced more surplus troops to carry out enemy reconnaissance and protect logistics supplies.

Lear had been carefully evading Erathia's patrols and scouts for daysβ€”he didn't want to engage in a pointless battle, as he had crossed the forest elves' lines with his party three days earlier, and was now alone behind enemy lines.

The Erathians' expanding scouting circle caused Lear to deviate from his original target area, and it was also to his frustration that he had not encountered a team of worthy targets for seven days.

Although he brought capable men, the days of running around had also put a huge burden on everyone's bodies, and just as he was passing through the lake, Lear ordered him to rest in place for an hour, and he also had to think about what to do next.

But what he didn't know was that ten kilometers away from him, a fierce battle was going on.

The battle was fought between the goblins and cave people who had surrounded and robbed him, and Baron Sousa, the commander of the New Crusader of Erathia, and her cousin Eled.

This was supposed to be a one-sided slaughter, the whirlwind of the fourth-level swordsman combined with the spell blessing of the second-level mage formed a high-speed spinning meat grinder, these weak creatures added a few revenants in Sosa's every sword flash, but the strange thing is that the originally cowardly and cowardly goblins and cave people have become fierce and fearless at this moment, their eyes are burning with madness and hysteria and desperately pounce on Sosa, although the cave people have no eyes, but the short spears in their hands never stop throwing.

In the distance, there was a hemp rope hanging from the back of the carriage that Eldred was riding, and at the end of the hemp rope was a slightly smaller goblin, which had been scarred by the long drag of the carriage, and its whole body was bloody with less air intake and more breath, and it saw that its life was coming to an end, and if Jenny was here, she would definitely be able to recognize this as the leader of the goblin clan, Tuolan.

No wonder the goblins are crazy.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this time Sosa didn't bring her fierce crusade with her, but the dozens of sword-wielding guards who followed were obviously all extraordinary, and the killing was always one-sided, but the goblins were still struggling to support themselves with their numbers, and from a distance, it looked like you were evenly matched.

Sosa was irritable.

Originally, she only wanted to take advantage of the truce to send Eldraid back to Count Svia's territory and express her apologies to her uncle, after all, in addition to Eldrid's kidnapping at her hands, Count Svia later paid a large amount of compensation to the Royal Academy of Magic and their family for the two magicians.

Although the second thing was not strictly related to her, she knew that without the support of Count Svia, her position in the army would be in jeopardy.

The lost money wasn't particularly huge for the Sviya family's centuries of accumulation since the Mudran dynasty, but she had to show her uncle that she was still trustworthy and nurtured.

You must know that the development of the Svia family has been extremely prosperous since then, whether it is the main vein branch, there are many people in the side room who are jealous of her current achievements and want to replace them, although most of her ability to get to this point is due to her own efforts, but in the eyes of those real big people, she is nothing.

If it is determined that she can no longer bring glory and benefit to the family, she will soon be sidelined and replaced, and then wither in the cemetery like a bellflower in July.

So when the pesky goblin jumped out and demanded the toll from her, she didn't hesitate to kill all its people and hang it in the back of the wagon, for these ugly fellows reminded her of the man, the man who had put her in such an awkward position.

The robbers deserve to die.

It's just that she didn't expect her actions to completely ignite the wrath of the goblins, these cowardly bantams now dare to rush up and fight her with red eyes, but so what, killing one is no different from killing a hundred, she is only upset by the time lost in this pointless battle.

If she couldn't make it to the Count's palace at the appointed time, her uncle might not give her another chance to meet.

Sosa was extremely irritated at the thought of this, and the long sword in his hand suddenly sped up the force of rotation.

"Half an hour to settle the battle!"

She gave orders impatiently, she was still very confident in the swordsmen she had trained herself, and if it weren't for the quota of the Crusaders, she would have even wanted to build a team as large as the pikefan.

After hearing Sosa's order, the swordsmen were all shocked, although they were a woman, but from their eyes, they could see that Sosa had incomparable prestige among these people, and in an instant, the silver light on the field turned to snow, and the blood was full of energy.

Twenty minutes later, the goblins were finally killed, and they wailed and left behind the corpses of their companions and the leader, who was too dead to die, and fled into the forest, where several swordsmen tried to chase them, but Sosa stopped them with a wave of his hand.

The smell of blood in the woods made it look like fermented wine lees, and Sosa cut the hemp rope that dragged the goblin leader with a single sword, then ordered the team to move on.

The goblins and cave people left behind more than two hundred corpses, red and green blood intertwined into a twisted river that flowed slowly and cooed, as if protesting the sorrow of the weak, but when the forest wind blew, it became nothing.

Half an hour later, Eldred suddenly opened the window of the carriage as she went, and Sosa frowned as she looked at her speechless appearance.

"What's wrong, Lisa (Adrid's nickname)?"

"Well, sister, I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

Although she has a good relationship with Sosa, when the other party doesn't laugh, Aedrid is still a little restrained, and the strong murderous aura on Sosa makes her a little difficult to adapt.

"Are you sick?"

Sosa leaned slightly on his horse and touched Eldred's forehead with his palm, but he didn't notice anything wrong with the temperature.

"No... No... I felt a little sick when the goblin's blood got on me during the battle just now. ”

"There's a lake in front of you, let's wash there. ”

Although she was in the military camp, Sosa, who was born in the aristocracy, was also a little clean, and she had more blood on her body than Eldred in the battle just now, and the sticky green liquid flowed from her neck into the armor, and after hearing Eldred say this, she suddenly felt a little itchy and uncomfortable in her body.

............

On the grass, Lear was looking up at the blue sky with his head on his head, and suddenly Haag next to him poked him in the waist with his elbow, and the defenseless Lear was choked by this stab, he was about to scold his waist in pain, but found that Haag's eyes were staring straight in front of the grass, as if he was frozen.

For some reason, he gently brushed aside the artemisia grass in front of him that blocked his vision, but he was almost caught in his eyes by two white lights.

What a blinding technique!, Lear exclaimed.

I saw that less than two hundred meters away from Lear and them on the right side of the lake, two snow-white carcasses were slowly walking into the lake, the front convex and backward were pleasant, and the long-haired girl also naughtily picked up a few handfuls of water and sprinkled them on the tall woman, so that the other party's skin that looked firm and smooth because of perennial exercise exuded a moving brilliance in the sun and water.

"Boss, I have a bold idea......"

Haag lay next to him and licked his lips, the sound of swallowing saliva coming from the huge Adam's apple rolling.

"Me ...... too"

Lear replied.
