The bonfire was very red and vigorous, and from time to time there was a crackling sound that burst out energetically. Just like the interest of the people.

The deal was a success, with art and other specialties selling for more than expected, and then slaughtering a dwarven merchant and buying a number of fine weapons at a very low price. In addition, he also obtained a lot of excellent wood from the southeast of Einfast, which was very popular in the aristocratic society of the Western Continent. The point is to hear that a pagan revolt of unprecedented proportions has completely destroyed the forests that produce this timber, and this is already the last shipment. The value of these timbers is simply incalculable. Although they already had mercenaries, because the goods were too large and too valuable, Orfu also sent three werewolves and a Kodo beast to help carry and escort their caravan. There are many big-eared monsters who have declared their departure because they can't stand the system of Oufu, and they have started their old profession as robbers in the wild highlands. Orf didn't have enough men to keep the whole of the Highlands safe, and given the mood of the big-eared monsters who had joined Orf, it wasn't good to slaughter their kind who were returning to their old jobs.

But once there are three werewolves in the team, this concern disappears completely. From the moment they left Oufu, the merchants were always happy. Camping in the wasteland almost every night became a bonfire, and the three werewolves in the party secured a source of meat. Now that we are on the edge of the wild highlands, we can walk for two days and return to Erathia. So tonight, the merchants even brought out their treasured wine and invited the mercenaries to drink it together.

Of course, the three werewolves in the team still refused to drink. Orc has a rule that orcs are not allowed to get their hands on this exciting drink.

But the others are different. Wine and meat bring out the excitement to the extreme. Laughter, chatter, shouting and shouting mingled to bustle the otherwise dead woods.

Under the influence of alcohol, it is definitely the mercenaries who talk the most. And there's a lot for them to talk about. There are just so many big things going on in the year. And the one that can arouse people's desire to talk and imagine the most is naturally the wanted criminal. This Mr. Five Thousand Gold Coin has enough charm to make people talk about him and hang it in their hearts.

"If I find out where that guy is, I'm sure I won't say anything. I'm going to approach him first. Pretend to be a very honest and friendly person to get close to him, make him feel good about me, and then he will be disarmed. "A mercenary uglier than an orc, more hideous than an ogre, gouged his nostrils and foamed at the mouth of his hunt. "You must know that this kind of person who is on the run must be very lonely and lonely in his heart, so as long as you touch his heart, he will treat you as a friend. Hiccup~~" He burped radiantly and raised his empty hand to poke forward in a knife position. "I can give him a stab in the back, and then I can, Hiccup, hahahaha....Abin, don't you want to take the steel repair card sword from Calondo? I'll give you ten. Ha ha. Ai Yimei, Brother Zhen, once I have money, those bastard magicians in the Tower of Teeth, hum, threw a handful of gold coins over, hiccup..... do you see if they dare to withdraw you from school. I can also learn that kind of magic by the way....."

"Haha, this guy cares about lewd again. Fellow mercenaries around the campfire laughed with the merchants.

One of the warriors laughed and exclaimed, "Zhen, I remember that when you were first eighteen years old, you said that you were going to go to Negan's underground to kill dragons, and then when you were thirty years old, you planned to go to Sandface Mountain to open a magic jade mine, and this year you are forty-five, right? The plan is getting more and more stingy, and it's really getting more and more useless. ”

"Nope. It's getting more and more promising. Because he's getting more and more down-to-earth. Probably when he is eighty years old, he will be able to plan to fetch Queen Catherine. ”

"Hahaha, just find a way to be a cardinal. That's practical. ”

The big man blushed in the laughter of the crowd and shouted: "Do you think I'm bragging? I already have a detailed plan and steps, if you don't believe me, I'll tell you about it..."

"Sure enough, there is growth, there is growth. When I got back to Erathia, I went to the cathedral to apply. No, we'll just reroute to Celeste tomorrow. The crowd laughed again. Even the three werewolves smiled. Although they may not understand the ridiculousness of the language, they can feel the excitement and friendly atmosphere of the crowd very clearly.

A handsome young man sitting next to the big man with a red turban on his head patted him on the back: "I will appreciate the kindness of you to help me buy a sword, regardless of your character, just by virtue of your appearance, the monkey will not dare to lift his guard in front of you casually." ”

Snuggling up next to the young man was a girl in a magician's robe, and the frosty color on her face could not hide her extraordinary beauty, and the appearance similar to the young man could be seen that these were two brothers and sisters. She also looked at the half-drunk mercenary and smiled: "Last time, a rich man wanted to buy his son the title of high-level magician in the Tower of Teeth, and took five hundred gold coins to find the tower master of the Tower of Fire. As a result, Lord Acerita melted the five hundred gold coins into juice and scorched both of his hands. How much money are you going to take?"

Dahan seemed to want to argue about his ambitions, but looking at the laughter of the crowd, it seemed that he would only add some more jokes. So he sat down reluctantly and indignantly.

The young man continued to pat the big man's back and said with a smile: "Even if you step on the shit, Luck can really see that person, and then the shit luck steps on you again, and he is not wary of you and shows his back to you, but just like that, can you kill him? That is the guy who assassinated Bishop Ronis and Duke Mrak, and then broke through among the tens of thousands of guards." And it will also have necromantic magic, and a spit can turn you into a zombie. ”

"Cut. What necromancy. That guy is using the name of the Necromantic Guild to deceive him, so he doesn't have to be afraid at all. The big man angrily pulled out a nose hair and said with grinning teeth. "The Necromantic Guild has spoken, can those guys still lie? Even a few old guys in our guild have been dispatched for this, and that guy is not dead. ”

Some time ago, the leaders of several of the largest organizations in the continent, such as the Thieves' Guild, the Adventurer's Guild, and the Tower of Teeth, all received a letterhead made of gold leaf and white gold threads, and the exquisite letter was also inlaid with a small magical amethyst skeleton. The content of the letter is that the criminal who is wanted by the whole continent has nothing to do with the Necromantic Guild from the beginning to the end. And because of this person's nonsense, the reputation of the Necromantic Guild has been greatly corrupted, and anyone who can catch this person or discover this person's whereabouts can get a thank you from the Valley of Dia.

This is the first time in so many years that Deya Valley has publicly revealed its meaning to the outside world, and of course it has caused a great shock. To be sure, this news was not someone else's prank. The reason is not only the extravagance and equanimity of the letter itself, but also the way in which it appears. The leaders of those guilds and organizations were thousands of miles away from each other in the north and south of the continent, but they all saw an owl flying in front of them in the middle of the night on the same day.

If the bounty of the Empire of Einfast has lit a fire, then this announcement of the Valley of Diya is a barrel of oil. can't help but dispel people's original scruples that this wanted criminal may be behind the Deya Valley, and even more stimulate a large number of people who don't value gold coins very much. The Necronomicon Guild isn't just synonymous with horror and evil, beneath that veil of mystery and horror are unimaginable magical items, legendary scrolls, and perhaps secrets of dark magic and necromancy. There are not a few people who dream of joining the most mysterious organization on the continent, but it's a pity that the unfriendliness of the Deya Valley to visitors is as loud and sinister as its reputation. But now that it has been openly provided with a way for outsiders to touch it, like a shadow hidden under the black veil of danger suddenly stretched out a jade finger and a lotus root, for those countless people who walked in the darkness and also had a strong interest in the darkness itself, all the passion and blood boiled under this notice.

But there are more subtle things that these mercenaries know about, but don't pay much attention to. That is, His Majesty the Pope is said to have also received such a letter. Although the church has not made any statement because of this, in many cases not taking a position is already a statement.

"I heard that on that day in the royal capital of the Ironfast Empire, that man sat on the snatched bipedal wyvern and descended from the sky to rescue his lover at that time...."The magician girl Ai Yimei looked at the bonfire, trying to imagine the spectacular scene in her mind, and the expression on her face was a little stupid. "It's a legend...."

"This beautiful lady, please calm down. Please remember that it is not a fairy tale, and the protagonist is not Prince Charming. The person he saved was just a bait. The Duchess's attention was made to him in order to catch the wanted man. The young man in the turban patted his sister on the head and grinned and raised the cross he wore on his chest, which was actually a magical ornament worn by the clergy of the church. "Lord. Please forgive that noble lady. Sacrificing one's body for the sake of justice is truly a noble spirit of sacrifice. I heard that the Duchess was really beautiful....."

A mercenary shouted, "This little guy is in the spring." Back to Erathia, big brother, please go and open a meat ....."

"When calling on the Lord, be religious. An old man among the merchants glared at the man who was shouting and looked at the young man with a serious countenance.

"Yes. Grandpa Layras. The young man Yabin smiled, nodded and lowered the cross.

The old man sighed, he had wanted to train this child to be a holy warrior since he was a child, but it seemed that the character aspect did not seem to be something that could be cultivated by mentioning his face. Sister Ai Yimei too, finally sent her to the Tower of Teeth in the Eastern Continent to learn magic, but some time ago she felt pitiful to the other party, and let go of a prisoner without permission, and was expelled and sent back. If you can get a senior magician certificate and then go to the convent, you may be able to go to Celeste for further study in a few years.

Old Man Rylas used to be the pastor of the Church of Erathia. Later, he confronted Celeste's emissary at a meeting on personnel transfers, and was dismissed and expelled from the church. But his devout belief in the god of light was not weakened by this. The two siblings were orphans he had chosen for adoption after he had been expelled from the church. He really regarded these two siblings as his own grandsons.

Abin looked at the three werewolves on the other side and asked, "Hey, have you seen that guy himself?" I heard that the peace treaty between your Oufu and Einfast seems to have been signed by this person on behalf of the emperor when he was at the Academy of Magic. It was the third time he had been to Orfo, and he was used to getting along with these huge furry orcs. He doesn't care too much about the old things that happened before he was born, and from a personal point of view, these werewolves are also very easy to get along with, and even a little simple-minded and honest.

"I haven't seen it. All three werewolves shook their heads.

Yabin also shook his head and sighed, and said: "Speaking of which, this guy is really good at Ernfast, if you have a little patience, you may be able to mix in the position of a cardinal when Bishop Ronis retires." I don't know what's going on in that guy's head. He simply walked over to the werewolf and sat down, and asked, "Is it a bit too powerful that man was able to steal a bipedal wyvern right under your noses?"

"The Wyvern....is a half-beast... People and lizardmen... We don't know. The werewolf stammered in reply. It's a bit of a struggle for their mouths to speak human language.

May the Lord bless you for healing your stuttering. Hehe. Abin smiled and raised the cross to a werewolf. The werewolf snorted.

The old man looked at Abin with a dark face and said, "The Lord says." There shall be no other gods but me. So either God's people or heretics. There is absolutely no way that these savage orcs will be converted to the light of God. You're so careless. ”

Although he has been a businessman for so many years, the old man Relas's pious faith has not been stained by money in the slightest. A serious book like this that occasionally breaks out often makes the companions feel that they are not quite right. Especially the month before, His Majesty the Pope suddenly began to express his dissatisfaction with Ofo, a city that obviously had no place for the Church, saying that it was blasphemy against God for those savage beasts to sit on an equal footing with God's people. The merchants didn't care much about this, after all, the gold coins were not given to them by God, and His Majesty's words were only words. But Old Man Rylas was impressed by His Majesty's parables. If it weren't for the fact that he was also a member of the Chamber of Commerce, he would not have gone to this barbaric and dirty city.

"The Lord says that all beings are equal. Yabin looked at him and smiled. Old man Rayras shook his head and sighed. Abin patted the werewolf's broad, hairy back and said, "Please don't mind. ”

My sister Ai Yimei also came over and said to the werewolf: "My grandfather is actually a very good person, you will know it after you have been with him for a long time. Although it was the first time she had come to Orf, and it was the first time she had seen these huge orcs, she didn't feel terrible.

"The old man is going too far. Someone among the merchants laughed. It was a great shame for the pastor to be excommunicated, so Old Man Relas didn't tell anyone about his past. In the eyes of the people in the Chamber of Commerce, he is just an ordinary old man with a more devout faith.

The werewolf smiled in what might have been a friendly gesture, but the fangs on the side of his mouth were a little hideous. "It doesn't matter. Our city... The Lord said..... Everyone has the freedom to believe....and to speak.... Freely. ”

May Allah bless those who can say such things. Yabin smiled.

At this moment, three werewolves suddenly stood up from the ground.

The werewolf moved quickly, as if he had been stabbed in the body. Even the fur on his body stood on end, and three pairs of glowing green eyes stared straight into the woods.

Everyone else was stunned. I looked at the werewolves, but it was only pitch black in the eyes of the people, and no matter how strong the bonfire was, it was only a small piece of light in the wilderness of the woods. And there really wasn't any sound or strange feeling around. It's close to the border of Erathia, and with three werewolves in the team, the Big-Eared Monsters shouldn't be fooled. And there is no beast in this kind of territory that can make werewolves wary

"What's wrong?" Abin asked the werewolf.

"Didn't you hear...?something...?" replied the werewolf, and all three werewolves took up arms. The massive Meteor Hammer is strong enough to make any beast and foe fearful.

"Something, what is it?" and his companions stared hard into the darkness, but there was silence in sight other than darkness and darkness, silence.

"You guys....don't move, we....go and see...."The three werewolves walked towards the dark woods. Their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness out of the range of the firelight, I don't know if the werewolves' footsteps were too light, as if they dissolved into the silent darkness of the forest, the three werewolves did not leave any traces or sounds, and disappeared from people's sight and feelings. The forest in the darkness ahead seemed to be a giant monster, silently devouring them.

The people left around the campfire were a little overwhelmed. Everyone didn't speak, they looked at each other. The bonfire was still so vigorous, and from time to time there was a crackling sound that exploded, but the sound that sounded so energetic just now erupted in the silence was a little weird.

'Whew'. The Kodomon gasped heavily, and many people were startled.

"These three guys....okay, right?" the big man named Zhen scratched his nostrils stupidly. "Could it be that we went to and pee together....." Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he yelled again. "I see. ”

"What?" several of his fellow mercenaries looked at him.

"Think about it, what is there that they can feel and we can't?" said the big man, smiling mysteriously, "It must be that these three guys must have smelled of a she-wolf, but they were too embarrassed to say it in front of us, so they walked away in this way." ”

"Fuck you. "Immediately someone threw a lump of mud at me. Someone else laughed. The atmosphere has eased a lot. In the laughter, people also think that it is probably not a big deal, but it is the werewolf's own nervousness, and it is impossible for a group of monsters to appear out of nowhere.

The people were relaxed again, and only the old man Rayras came over and whispered to Abin, "Have you ever felt any magic fluctuations?"

"Magic fluctuations? Yabin was stunned. "Do you feel it?" Although the old man has been out of the church for a long time, he has never stopped praying and meditating in his room every day. Although the people in the chamber of commerce did not know, Yabin knew that his cultivation was no less than that of any priest in the church, and the meditation perception required by white magic was more sensitive to magic fluctuations than any other magic faction.

The old man Rayras hummed his nose, as if he wanted to smell something unusual in the air, but finally shook his head, frowned and whispered, "Could it be that I'm too sensitive..."

"My name is Ai Meilai, let's put a water mirror reconnaissance together?" Abin whispered.

"Forget it. Maybe it's my delusion, I'm old. Old Man Rayras shook his head. He didn't want anyone else in the Chamber of Commerce to know that he and Abin knew magic, and that it was white magic. The use of white magic by people outside the Church is a taboo in the religious nation of Erathia.

There was a slight sound, and the figures of the three werewolves finally appeared within the range of the campfire. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha..."The big man who called Zhen laughed, digging his nostrils and walking towards the werewolf. "How's .....it going?

The werewolf led by him suddenly flew a punch. Not much smaller than the's head, the fist slammed into his face with a muffled thud mixed with a shattering sound.

The big man's body flew back to the campfire under the tugging of his head and face, his fingers digging into his nostrils completely into his head, and the palm of his hand was completely shattered, and together with his facial features, he became thin and sunken into his head, and an eyeball flew out and hung on the side of his head. The neck was also torn off by the force, and it became at least half longer than the original.

At first, the crowd was completely stunned. Then a few people shouted, "It's too much." He's just joking. ”

A terrible, wild, bloodthirsty cry slammed into the ground. The fury and wildness of that cry overflowed beyond the realm of hearing, and even the skin could feel it. The sound didn't seem to come from the vocal cords, but was purely an illusion condensed from these bestial natures. The silence of the boundless wilderness was filled with the sound at once. The horses were all startled, and struggled desperately to get agitated. Even the notoriously sluggish Kodomon mooed.

The three werewolves faced the sky on their backs, but there was no moon in the sky, and the clouds on the edge of the highlands obscured the light from the sky. The werewolf was so hysterical that his body trembled and twitched in the midst of his scream.

The crowd was shocked, and they could all hear the cry, which didn't seem to be a joke.

The howls stopped abruptly, and the werewolves rushed towards the crowd. Under the reflection of the firelight, the green eyes were all blood-colored, Bai Sensen's sharp teeth were like a dagger stuck upside down in the bloody mouth, the bright red tongue hung on the side of the mouth, and the saliva kept dripping down. It's definitely not a joke either.

As soon as the screams of the people began, they mixed into the screams. The werewolf's movements were a far cry from the reactions of ordinary people, and before the five merchants could dodge, they flew out under the swing of the meteor hammer, and three of their heads were already shattered everywhere like eggs under a heavy blow, and one of them had his chest completely open, and his ribs and flesh and blood were turned out together, and one was almost beaten in two by the waist.

The mercenaries subconsciously took up arms to resist, but in front of werewolves, especially those who seemed to go crazy, ordinary humans were as fragile as bugs. Screams and wails rang out one after another.

Abin also raised the sword in his hand and rushed forward, but was stopped by the old man Rairas. There are usually not many priests in Erathia, where wars are frequent, but the combat experience of these priests who often go to war is by no means comparable to that cultivated by their colleagues in the peaceful and peaceful magic academy of the Eastern Continent. And the old man also saw where the key was. He said to Aimeh in a deep voice, "Quickly give them weakness and sluggishness. ”

Ai Yimei hurriedly gestured and chanted the incantation, but her eyes fell on the horrific corpses next to her, and her voice and hands trembled. She usually doesn't even dare to look at killing chickens.

"Merciful Lord, soothe the troubled heart. Yabin took his sister's hand. The pure and gentle fluctuations of white magic swept through Aimeh's mind, and although it was impossible to really sweep away the fear and panic, she herself condensed and continued to chant the incantation.

The movements of the three werewolves slowed suddenly, and the mercenaries finally managed to parry. Being able to stop the three werewolves at the same time, it seems that the cultivation and study of the Tower of Teeth has not wasted any time.

Old Man Rayras whispered the incantation before reaching out to the werewolf. A white light enveloped the three werewolves from head to toe.

After the white light, the werewolf was not harmed at all, but the attack at hand immediately stopped, and the expression on his face changed from crazy to stunned.

The remnants of the mercenaries and merchants finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were more surprised. It is impossible to see that the old man Rayras, who has always been ordinary in the caravan, is actually a master of magic, and can miraculously control the situation at such a time.

'Huh'. A faint voice came from the darkness. The sound was very small and soft, and if it weren't for the werewolf stopping and the people being silent in amazement, this extremely small sound would never have been detected.

'Choke'. Abin, who had not moved, drew his sword in his hand and rushed in the direction where the sound had emanated. He could already see what was going on from the moment Old Man Rayras grabbed him and then used the magic on the werewolf. Old Man Rylas used a 'purification' of white magic on the werewolves. It was to get rid of the negative magic, but that made the werewolf stop, which undoubtedly means that the werewolf's madness was due to the influence of magic.

"In the name of the Lord, give me the Demon Breaker Blade. The long sword hummed, the sound was like a dragon, and the snow-white Liang turned the long sword in his hand like a frozen light. Abbin jumped over a werewolf who was still stunned, and his posture was as vigorous as an eagle. "The gift of the owner, bless me. ”

"Yabin, come back quickly. Old man Relas shouted. His voice was hoarse and distorted from nervousness.
