Chapter 2 A Village No Longer the Same

Blood has an important and extreme dual meaning for human beings: in the positive direction it is life, and the surge of blood symbolizes vitality and the possibility of creating hope, and in the opposite direction, it is death, when the blood leaves the body, and the face is gradually turning pale. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBlood is a wonderful thing to celebrate, however, to witness this beauty often means the loss of life and the coming of death.

- The bard of the cursed bloodline, Devertus Edward,

......

......

......

The rain is still raining heavily and it looks like it will continue for at least a few hours.

Vina had to admit that she was not in a good mood, but at the thought of being able to meet Captain Lance who had "not seen her for many years" - for her, the days of leaving Lance could be described as years - and the gentle voice and warm palm of the captain, her heart couldn't help but ripple, and she resolutely continued to urge the magic power, allowing the magic elements to propel her forward quickly from under her feet and behind her, and soon surpassed Ralph who was striding in.

"Tsk, why is the little girl's house running so fast?"

With a wave of his arm to remove the water droplets from his skin, and flicking off the top of his bare head and the somewhat comical looking pigtails that had already soaked through the back of his head, Ralph didn't really care about the droplets of water that Vina had brought to him when she had just passed by. However, the disgust is still the disgust, and since the disgust is to find a way to get rid of the unhappiness, this is the secret of "Uncle Ralph" to keep himself happy.

"Let Uncle think about it, aha, it must be Brother Mo who told her something about Captain Lance!"

The affectionate name of only half of the name is enough to see the relationship between Ralph and Moore, and the reason why the big man, who has always been commented as "simple-minded", can say that the experience of living in a companion for a long time is naturally on the one hand, and on the other hand, Vina's attachment and love for Lance can be seen by any person at all.

"So women are just unreliable! Once you fall in love, you don't care about anything, huh? How can you be a warrior like this?...... Ah, she doesn't seem to be a warrior in the first place?" made an over-the-top comment without paying attention, in fact, discrimination against women was still the norm in the godly land of Southelsewell. Realizing that there was a problem in the second half of his speech, Ralph habitually wanted to raise the flask hanging from his shoulder and take two sips to hide his embarrassment, but when he grabbed the flask and raised it halfway, he suddenly remembered that the wine had already been drunk, "Hah...... When you get to the village, go find a drink, and let the captain pay the bill!"

The overly hearty and somewhat rude-sounding laughter suddenly suppressed the sound of the rain, and a smile appeared on the big man's hideous face, and then the muscles in his thighs swelled unnaturally, and he stood in place, and his feet, which had sunk downward, naturally sank deeper.

"Good. Let Uncle Ben ...... too"

"Whoosh!" "Wow!" "Smack!"

"Whoa!"

Ralph was interrupted halfway through his words, and it was the leap that Mohr had taken beside him, who had been speeding by.

It's just a step, but it's made heavy and powerful by the blessing of the body's enhanced magic. As a result, the splash of muddy water even overshadowed Ralph's tall body like a tidal wave. Mohr's speed was so fast that even the rain falling from the sky was swept up by his dashing momentum, and he moved forward and changed direction, so there was no doubt that this part of the rain also hit Ralph's back from behind.

"Huh?" the tall man didn't react to what was happening when the muddy water flowed down. Just now, all he could perceive was the familiar magic that Mor exuded as he passed by. Unlike his friends, who have been in dire straits, Ralph does not possess the same sensitivity to magic, but for warriors who have fought countless brutal battles, magic can still be felt at this distance.

"Brother Mo is also running so fast, it must be ......"

And in his impression, unless there was a battle, Mohr, who was usually calm enough to be called cold, would never make such a hurried move.

“...... Hehe, then I can't get behind!"

The simple mind came to the wrong conclusion of course, and Ralph, who had been dazed before, suddenly grinned. Everything else is trivial, only in the two things of drinking and fighting, he Uncle Ralph will never be left behind.

"Boom!"

One foot was pulled out of the mud, and then it fell with a bang, and there was a fierce look in his eyes - this means that he is going to be serious at this moment. The muscles in his legs continued to swell to an abnormal degree, and his upper body took on a sprinting stance, and at the same time, Ralph's feet also appeared under the cyan circle similar to the one launched by Mohr before, but the color was not so dazzling dark red.

"Well, wait, it's still a long way to get to the small village where you made the appointment, are you in such a hurry? Use that now, can you hold on?" Grinding his teeth and muttering to himself, Ralph's brain moved, and suddenly he realized that something was not right. It's just that Mohr's view that he will move forward quickly because of the fight in front of him has been preconceived, and Dahan has no chance to think comprehensively and deeply, and in the end, he only came to the following conclusions.

"So, you're in a hurry to fight, and you're so anxious that you forget your magic for a short time?"

The words were mocking, and the high-pitched laughter was full of respect. The dark red light enveloped his tall body from the bottom up, and for the body enhancement magic, it was intuitive to determine which kind of magic was released from the different colors of the circle it generated, the cyan circle released by Moore before corresponded to the magic that increased the speed explosively, and the red circle under Ralph's feet at this moment corresponded to the magic that continuously increased the strength.

"A man is to be a good warrior, and the root of a good warrior is to be full of passion and not let go of any battle......! Hehe, the first one to arrive at the place this time must be Uncle I!"

"Boom!" Again, the loud sound of the earth bursting washed away the leisurely rain curtain, and the moment he kicked the ground, the earth and oxygen in the sky obscured his vision, and the moment he landed in chaos, the people had already disappeared.

"Well, if you think about it, it's because of this that little Vina...... So, does she have to be a good warrior? I don't understand......"

Leaving behind small words that only he could hear, Ralph would always choose to let it roll aside for questions that weren't answered in a flash of inspiration. Leave the brain-moving things to Vina Moore and they will have a headache, they just need to do it themselves, yes, that's beautiful teamwork.

While carrying out the "work of destroying the road" and silently muttering "sorry" to the land he had destroyed, Dahan let his emotions be raised to the extreme, and it must be interesting to have a battle that should happen next, a battle that can make Moore go so desperately.

......

......

......

The small village of the joint has no name, and its sparse population, remote location, and extremely poor resource environment make it completely unable to attract the attention of lords and merchants, so there is no need to name it. It seems that this place is a little too remote as the meeting place agreed upon during the previous split operation, but it is precisely because of this, under the leadership of the captain, as a member of a certain organization, the whereabouts and stationing place of Moore and the others should be as hidden as possible.

The final result of the "race" was that Vina arrived first, Moore took second place by a slight margin, and Uncle Ralph, who was full of confidence, was the last to reach the entrance of the village for various reasons.

"It's not fun at all. ”

The long walk didn't seem to exert much energy, and Ralph's breathing was not struggling at all. As he whispered these words, he slightly regretted that he had had thought "that must have been funny" on the road. The mood was a little low, not that he was angry because he arrived at the end, he was actually quite open-minded in this kind of thing. In fact, his emotions were in front of the village, and after seeing everything in front of him, he was excited for a while before he quickly fell down.

"What do you think?" said to Ralph's side, and Mohr changed his previous anxious expression, and calmly said to the man who was not far away, kneeling in place, not caring at all about his clothes and skin being stained with mud and water.

"Captain Lance...... Captain Lance...... Captain Lance ......"

There was no reaction to Moore's words, only the repetition of words that seemed like a madman. Unlike Moore, who still maintained his calm bearing, the woman's condition at the moment was very bad. The hood may have been blown off by the backward air currents on the way to the rapid arrival, revealing hair that looked like it had been carefully groomed, but was wet and sticking to her body under the action of the rain, Vina looked haggard from every angle, her originally shining eyes lost their lustre, and her empty gaze stared straight ahead, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Captain...... Captain Lance ......"

The terrifying whispers added to the depressing atmosphere around him.

The reason why Vina became so lost and depressed is actually very simple, perhaps as long as it is combined with Moore's previous worrying performance, and considering that Vina also has the ability to perceive magic, it should not be difficult to understand if you look at the previous situation below, and combine several pieces of information with each other.

"Huh...... Wow......"

The sound of rain never stopped, and I remember that when everyone first came to this unknown village, it was also raining here. It's just that, in my memory, the village where the kind and innocent people who live carefree and carefree in the atmosphere of peace and tranquility have become no longer the same.

It has been replaced, with a veil that is more seren, more realistic, and more brutal than before.

"Fighting...... War? It's not a battle at all!"

Raindrops that emitted more chill slapped against the houses and the land, as well as the already cold skin of those who had lost their breath. The rain washed over the mud stained with sticky blood, and on this land that was less favored by the gods, a dull red made a dumbfounded, thought-provoking picture.

"This is a massacre. ”

Following up on Ralph's words, Moore asserted.

"Cheer up. ”

The next sentence is still said to Vina. Moore waved his hand and removed the robe on his body, revealing an old, but it looked like it was still under regular maintenance, and in the sound of chain "bang", a metal long-pole gun that was originally divided into several pieces was instantly restored to a majestic appearance, holding the spear with one hand, and the other hand that grabbed the clothes paused in the air for a moment, and finally chose to throw what would only hinder his movement behind him, rather than draped it on the body of his companion next to him.

Mohr stood for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"I don't know the situation of Captain Lance yet, I told you before, Captain Lance's magic has become weird, it may just be my illusion, the captain's magic suddenly can't perceive it may mean more situations, not necessarily what happened to the captain, we don't even know where he is, I want to know what happened here, get closer, go investigate, all the corpses we can see now are the corpses of the villagers, who did this, we need intelligence, so. ”

The face remained unchanged and he said the words in one breath, which seemed flat because of the lack of emotional factors. In normal times, Moore would never have said such a large amount of content in a row, which can be seen from the consternation on Ralph's face on the side. The stunned expression disappeared immediately, because the big man who gritted his teeth and grinded his teeth in front of him was not a battle at all, but a bloody scene of slaughter, understood Mohr's mood very well at the moment, so he clenched his fists and waited for Mohr's "so".

Not...... Wait, what's wrong with Captain Lance?

"Acting separately, not sensing the presence of magic nearby, maybe the perpetrator has left, maybe he is still hiding in the village, time ...... Pressing. Let's go our separate ways, I'll go to the farmland and fishing ground on the west side of the village, Ralph, you can check the village carefully, and remember to pay attention to find some clues about the perpetrators, Vina...... Whew, the church halfway up the hill to the north...... Let's do it. ”

After assigning the task in the shortest possible time, Moore picked up the sword he had carried with him for many years and set foot westward without looking back, leaving only Ralph, who was confused because the gravity of the matter seemed to be far greater than expected, and Vina, who was still sitting in place and finally stopped muttering.

"Hurry up, Vina, if you still think of yourself as a member of the 'Society'. The footsteps never stopped, but left the last words before leaving, Moore's mind was like a mess at the moment, all he could do was try to imitate what that person did on a daily basis, "Ralph, you better forget about what you think, listen to me, just act." ”

"Don't forget, Captain Lance is still waiting for you!"

Compared to Ralph-More, who had already learned that this powerful man could not be further understood, and he believed that Ralph would listen to him, Vina's situation was obviously more worrying, so there was the most effective way to do it.

Captain Lance.

Yes, if the assumption that something might have happened to this person could make her depressed to such an extent, just as saying his name and reminding her that Captain Lance was still waiting for her could rekindle her hope with a simple word.

Ignoring the difference between genders, he said that his feelings for that person, even if he were himself, would definitely not be comparable to Vina.

Moore knows this.

Rushing and rushing, the mind is also racing. The man had already consumed all of his mana when he arrived earlier, and he was unable to continue to activate his body-strengthening magic.

Without looking back, not even bothering about the actions of his companions, Moore devoted all his attention to searching for the situation ahead and whether there was any magic, while his heart continued to pray that the man would be safe.
