Chapter 5: Lydia
A dark red figure slowly stepped out of the bushes, moved to the water source, and crouched down, taking advantage of the moonlight, the worn clothes on his shoulders were removed, revealing his shoulders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The green jade fingers stroked the water and washed the blood-stained shoulders.
This happened shortly after the sound of the explosion, and Arnold, who was still in the trees, accidentally saw such a picture, which immediately made Arnold feel a new horse upset. Arnold hurriedly calmed down, but his body made a lot of noise uncontrollably, awakening the dark red figure.
The dark red figure paused, quickly put on his clothes, and without saying a word, he turned around and threw an ice pick at Arnold's uncle.
Arnold, who made a sound, knew that it was not good, and hurriedly jumped off the uncle to avoid the blow. Before he could say anything, Arnold rolled quickly and irregularly, and immediately dodged the next successive icicles.
Fortunately, the dark red figure itself was injured, and it was difficult to walk here close to running out of oil, and there was not much magic left, seeing that Arnold was not easy to deal with, he did not waste any more magic power, but held a rune scroll in his hand and stared at Arnold with vigilant eyes.
"Wait, I didn't mean to peep at you, this was originally where I slept, and I just went up to the tree to watch for a while when there was an explosion, and then you suddenly came out and took care of yourself by the water source... Arnold saw that the magic stopped, and quickly stood up to explain, and finally saw that the girl's eyes were getting more and more fierce, and he immediately stopped talking.
"Well, I don't know you, I'm not your enemy, just a passerby who is lost in the forest. "Arnold first encountered the power of magic, and it was also the first time he saw a living person, and he was still a cold and beautiful girl from another world, and he felt intimate.
It's a pity that the girl didn't buy it, but stared at Arnold's waist: "You are from Adelaide." ”
Arnold looked at his waist, but it was a strip of cloth with the coat of arms of the lion of Adelaide that he had found in his broken old clothes, and had planned to use it to retrieve the organization. At that time, Arnold wanted to make up a reason why this was a trophy or something, but Arnold had no hope of this trick that could be debunked at a glance.
Arnold expressed doubts about the girl's identity, but he couldn't hesitate for too long at this time, and admitted calmly: "I am Baron Jean, the logistics officer of the 7th Battalion of the Adelaide front, and I was chased by the Knole people and hid in the Crucible Forest a few days ago. "I do secretly hold the broad-edged sword in my hand, and I am ready to strike first if something goes wrong.
"Are you Arnold? Arnold Jean Al Fred?" Unexpectedly, this girl actually knew Arnold, which surprised Arnold, is this guy very famous? But in memory, this cowardly and timid fellow was very despised by soldiers who were proud of their courage on the battlefield, and if he hadn't been a nobleman, he would have been beaten hundreds of times.
The girl stared at Arnold's face carefully and looked again and again, and after confirming that it was him, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the murderous aura disappeared, and the rune scroll in her hand was secretly put away.
"You know me, but I don't have any impression of you. Arnold let go of the hilt of his sword and searched his memory for images of such a beautiful girl, but to no avail.
"I'm Lydia, the eldest daughter of Duke Hogan, and we were enlightened by the same godfather when we were young, so to speak. It seems that you have a very unclear memory of before the age of 10. ”
"Before the age of 10?" Arnold asked more questions, his memory of things before the age of 10 was indeed very vague, as if he had been blinded by something, and he couldn't remember clearly. However, Arnold had already determined that the girl in front of him was a friend and not an enemy. The Duke of Hogan is the mainstay of Adelaide, guarding the country's northern gateway.
"Then Miss Lydia, you look embarrassed right now, but help. "Since it's his own people, Arnold is in the spirit of chivalry, and let's see if he can help.
Lydia didn't answer, but looked at Arnold again and exclaimed, "Arnold, you're a little different from what was rumored. It is rumored that you are cowardly and cowardly, and you have been on the front line for 2 years, even if you have served in logistics, you have not killed a single person. When I was serving in the North, I heard about it, but now, I am pleasantly surprised. "Although I only used the ice magic that did not enter the stream, but against a warrior who has not yet reached the second order, I will be seriously injured if I take a hit. Arnold's ability to dodge so many swift ice picks was extraordinary.
Arnold was silent, and he couldn't say, isn't the person you see now who you know?
"Baron Arnold, now as the Adelaide Secret Envoy, I ask you to protect me as I go to the Brilliant Fortress, the mission level, the military merit silver V, etc. "Adelaide's military exploits are divided into four levels: gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and each level is divided into five grades: I, II, III, VI, and V. Adult men in Adelaide are required to enter compulsory military service when they reach the age of 16. The service period is 5 years, if the cumulative military merit exceeds the bronze level V, you can apply for retirement 1 year early, and the cumulative amount of bronze VI can be advanced by 2 years. There are many front-line tasks, but military achievements are difficult to accumulate, and most of them have accumulated the black iron level and retired a few months early. Only a small number of people will be able to achieve this target.
After the completion of the Silver V and other tasks issued by Lydia this time, Arnold can not only apply for retirement immediately, but also receive a large bonus and a Warrior Medal. Heroes who complete gold-level missions can also get the honor of meeting the king, receive the title of Baron of Adlaide, and get a small territory. Arnold's father relied on the completion of a gold-level task to allow Arnold to get a baronial title and live a comfortable life, and he also attached his life to this.
Arnold thought for a moment, he had to go back to his territory anyway, and he had to get out of this crucible forest, and if he completed this task, he could get a lot of bonuses, and he didn't lose at all. I just wanted to nod my head in agreement, but suddenly I heard Alice's alarm, and the nearby fire element was extremely active, and it had reached a warning point.
"Oh no, there's someone casting a spell nearby, Lydia get out of the way. Arnold saw that Lydia's head had gathered a conspicuous fire element, and frantically reminded.
"Flame Storm!" a deep voice reached Arnold and Lydia's ears.
"Boom!" The dazzling flame storm lit up the entire night sky, and this power was already very close to the level of the third order. Arnold, who hadn't yet gotten close, was suddenly swept back by the tearing force of the firestorm, and he didn't have time to see how Lydia was doing.
"The wind wolf is running. Arnold picked up the broadblade and used the speed-increasing method in the Naval Sword to run towards the sound, only by interrupting the mage's continuous mana supply could he save Lydia.
Arnold rushed into the bushes and saw a magician casting a spell on a nearby reef, his face unclear in his cloak.
"Charge in a rage!" Arnold's anger rose, and he rushed towards the mysterious mage with a roar, and the broad-bladed sword was attached to a trace of black sword qi, which was the effect of the black iron swordsmanship after practicing to the full level, which could better destroy the enemy's defenses.
"Resist the Ring of Fire. When the magician saw Arnold, he unhurriedly put away the firestorm and used the magic he had recorded earlier. Suddenly, a burst ring of flame exploded from the magician's side, causing Arnold's figure to stop suddenly, but he didn't take a step back, and there was only a few dozen meters away from the magician.
Recording magic is the magic recorded in the magic elemental seed before the mage fights, and the magic runes are stored in it before, and no magic is interrupted when used. So Arnold though the firestorm has disappeared. But it felt even more uncomfortable, and the magician took the initiative to stop the magic, perhaps because he had confirmed that the target was dead or unable to resist, and there was no need to waste mana.
"Closer!" Lydia doesn't know whether she is alive or dead now, although Arnold has not known each other for a long time, but he is also the first friend he has met in another world, and at least he wants to kill the enemy in front of him to avenge Lydia.
