Chapter 6: The Strange Black Armored Lizard

Sean glanced at him gratefully and said, "Captain Andrade, I can't accept your gift for no reason, so I appreciate your kindness." ”

Andrade smiled happily and said, "Mr. Sean, you have also traveled from south to north, don't you find it very difficult and lonely to walk alone?"

Sean was stunned for a moment, his heart was actually slightly moved, during the month of this trip, he came with the large army, so he didn't feel lonely. But if you walk alone in the vast prairie, then you will definitely have a completely different feeling.

After a moment's hesitation, Sean asked, "Captain Andrade, what do you mean ......?"

Andrade said, "Mr. Sean, on behalf of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, I now formally extend an invitation to you, hoping that you can become a member of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. ”

Sean's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and muttered.

After a moment, he raised his head, slowly shook his head in Andrade's hopeful gaze, and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Andrade, I'm used to living alone, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to be restrained by the team, so I have to live up to your invitation." ”

Andrade's face was full of disappointment, he let out a long sigh and said, "Mr. Sean, since you have decided, then I have no choice but to express my regrets. He shook his head and said, "I thought that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Regiment could have one more general in the future, but it's a pity." ”

Sean calmly did not speak on the side, but his heart became more and more disdainful, this Andrade, I am afraid that he is cursing himself for his imminent death.

Fisher suddenly stood up from his chair, gave Sean a deep look, and turned to leave.

Sean stretched out his hand and made a look like he wanted to scream but didn't dare to scream.

Andrade patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Mr. Sean don't worry, he has such a temper, and he will be fine in a few days." ”

Sean smiled bitterly and nodded, but he sneered in his heart, In a few days, after you plot against me, of course this person's mood will improve.

After a moment's hesitation, Andrade continued: "Mr. Sean, since you have come this time to try your luck at Lake Estonco, how about we go together?"

Sean asked in surprise, "Are the three mercenary groups and the caravan going together?"

"Of course not. Andrade laughed and said, "So many of us went on the road together so that we could have a care on the road, and we could resist together when we encountered thieves." But if you go to Lake Estanko, the high-level demonic beasts that will definitely disturb it when the large army goes there, and you don't know how they will die when the time comes. Therefore, only elite personnel can be dispatched. ”

"High-level Warcraft?" Sean felt a pang in his heart, and there didn't seem to be any news about high-level Warcraft in the news he had heard.

"That's right, it's indeed a high-level Warcraft. However, these high-level demonic beasts are all in the middle of the lake, and the edges are full of first- and second-level demonic beasts, if we form a demon hunting team with a magician, then we will definitely gain a lot. ”

Sean's eyes rolled, and he vaguely understood in his heart that they wanted to use the terrain there and leave themselves in that place. And the loss of a few people in Lake Estanko will certainly not attract anyone's attention.

However, he sneered again in his heart, who was calculating whom, and he would understand when the time came.

Seeing Sean's gratifying nod in agreement, Andrade discussed with him for a while, and left happily, after leaving Sean's room, he was not free Lord sighed, this person's archery skills are extremely high, and he can't use it for himself, it's a pity.

Coming to the bed and lying down, Sean put on an eyepatch and entered Space One.

"One, how's the surveillance?" asked Shaun aloud.

"You can rest assured that everything is under control. One said excitedly: "I've been longing for Bond's life for a long time, thank you for giving me this opportunity." ”

Sean was stunned for a moment and asked, "Bond, has something happened to my father?"

No. 1 tilted his head and asked puzzledly: "Your father, he is in the Duchy of Louis, because the distance is too far, and there is no specific information and data, so I can't make an accurate judgment." ”

Sean rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Then why do you yearn for his life?"

"He?" said One in annoyance, "You misunderstood, I'm not talking about your father." ”

"Isn't it?" Suddenly, a thought crossed Sean's mind, his eyes widened, and he asked, "One, are you talking about 007?"

"yes, how do you know, it's incredible. Number One asked incredulously.

Sean coughed pretending and said, "It's easy, because you showed me a movie about 007 Bond before." ”

"Really?" No. 1 suddenly grimaced, as he didn't seem to have such a scene in his memory.

Sean laughed, quickly diverted the topic, and said, "One, there must be something wrong with your memory bank and database, I suggest you fix it." ”

"Okay. Number One muttered, "What the hell, am I really amnesia?"

Sean's heart is cold, no matter who hears a computer say that it has amnesia, I'm afraid it will have a similar feeling. patted No. 1, Sean said: "No. 1, get used to it slowly, if you lose it, you will get used to it." ”

Number One followed Sean's example, gave him a big roll of his eyes, and then said, "Master, according to the analysis of the collected data, they should be planning to carry out the murder of you near Lake Estanko." ”

"I see. The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, and he said, "When the time comes, I will let them know who the real hunter is." ”

"Oh, besides them, I found something interesting. ”

"What?"

"Do you remember Mr. Nyx who fell when you shot his horse?"

"Of course I remember, that thief. ”

"He's recovered from his injuries, and he holds a grudge against you, and he's personally led someone to follow him here. ”

Sean gasped, and he was heartily grateful: "Number one, I really thank you this time." ”

If you are entangled by this sudden enemy without knowing it, then it is definitely a big trouble.

"The hosts, they live in the place. ”

A hologram immediately appeared in front of Sean's eyes, and Sean looked at the somewhat familiar alley, and his face became very funny. He asked softly, "One, is this the place I just visited?"

"Yes, the same place you fled from. ”

"Why are they there?"

"Based on the information I've gathered, this is probably a secret stronghold in the city of Ollidogua. ”

"Oh my God. Sean stroked his forehead with his hand, and kept complaining in his heart, this stupid Maddie actually took himself into the den of thieves, fortunately all the people there were wolf girls, otherwise......

His heart moved, and he asked, "One, does Maddie know that place is the Knicks' lair?"

"I don't know. ”

"So......" Sean paused and asked, "Does he know that Andrade and the others are going to deal with me?"

"I don't know, either from the intelligence we've gathered, or from Maddie's performance, he hasn't received a similar notification. ”

Sean breathed a sigh of relief, the werewolf Maddie is bold, and these days with him, Sean can be said to be very happy, so he doesn't want him to participate in such dirty things.

With a slight roll of his eyes, Sean smiled: "One, I have a plan, you can help me see it, how about doing this?"

After a long time, No. 1's excited voice came: "Master, it's great to do this,

※※※※

"Knock, knock, knock. ”

"Who, are you here to disturb people at this time, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder?" Maddie's angry voice came from the room.

Sean exclaimed, "Maddie, I'm here to tell you good news. ”

Maddie walked out disheveled and asked suspiciously, "What's the good news, and how did you come back?" ”

Sean smiled and walked in, deliberately lowering his voice, but he could make the wolf girl on the bed hear clearly: "Maddie, Andrade promised to take me to Lake Estonco, I heard that they found a lot of good things there, and promised to share my share." ”

Madison's eyes lit up and she asked, "What's that?"

"I don't know, but since Andrade is tempted, it won't be too bad. ”

Maddie rubbed her hands together again and again, and could no longer care about her female companion, so she gave an order, and hurried back to the caravan's residence with Sean.

Behind them, several tall figures slowly appeared.

"Have you really found out? He is not a descendant of the Marquis?"

"Yes, master, we have found out, he is but a passerby. Moreover, the Marquis's family heirloom magic bow was not missing, so what he had in his hand was just another rare magic bow. ”

The man in the middle nodded slightly, looking at the direction where Sean and the others were leaving, silent.

One of them asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to take him down?"

"Nope. The man turned around slowly, his figure was burly and powerful, but some bruises could be faintly seen on his face, and he said fiercely: "I want to see what good things they have found, hehe......"

Hearing his cold laughter, the people next to him all had the same sinister smile on their faces, as if they were looking forward to something happening.

But again, they didn't notice that in an inconspicuous corner of the room, a small mosquito fly was lying there, as if it had lost its life.

※※※※※※※

Three days later, Sean officially left the city of Orlido with an elite team of fifteen people.

In this elite demon hunting team, in addition to Sean, there are Andrade and Fixter in the Blood Wolf Mercenary Regiment and Mireel, the regimental leader archer in the Mireel Mercenary Group.

In addition, it is the elite manpower of these two mercenary groups, including the three masters from the Bardell Chamber of Commerce.

This team includes powerful attacking fighters who are proficient in the art of striking, as well as super shooters like Sean and Mireh, as well as agile spies and three strong thick shield warriors. Of course, the most important person is still Fisher, who is surrounded by everyone like a starry moon.

It is said that this ninth-level apprentice mage has mastered at least three second-level magics, and his strength is extremely strong, and if he cooperates with these warriors in the right environment, he will definitely be able to play the role of fixing the sea god's needle.

However, apprentice-level mages still have a fatal weakness, that is, their physique is weak, they are slow to cast spells, and it is very dangerous to walk alone without the protection of a strong warrior.

But once these mages become official magicians, there will be a qualitative leap in strength, and the strength they have will be more than a hundred times that of ordinary warriors, plus the increase in the types of instantaneous magic, even if it is a person at that time, this world can be obtained.

As for the more advanced Grand Magicians and Wizards, they have all kinds of powerful self-preservation abilities, not to mention that the samurai can't break through their defenses, even if it's a slightly worse Warcraft, they can't hurt them.

Once the magicians reach such a state, then they are definitely loners, because knights and warriors are nothing more than a burden to them.

Although Sean has not yet reached the level of a formal magician at this moment, he has mastered two third-level auxiliary magic in advance, and the magic he has mastered is the kind of spell that can be silently issued in an instant, so his instantaneous combat power is no longer below that of a formal magician.

Of course, since the gap in mental strength is still a huge trench that cannot be bridged, Sean is not arrogant enough to really challenge the authority of a formal magician. But a little ninth-level apprentice will not be put in Sean's eyes.

After walking for a few days, the group finally came to the legendary Lake Estanko.

After arriving here, Sean couldn't help but smile bitterly, the area of this lake is really too big, and when you look at it, the sea and sky in the distance seem to be endless.

Looking at this inland sea, which I don't know how large the scope is, Sean is really a little speechless and asks the sky.

Who came up with the name of the Inland Sea......

No wonder Andrade said that there are high-level magical beasts in the center of the inner lake. Since the scope is so large, and it is an inaccessible place, it is naturally normal for some high-level magical beasts to appear.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Sean heard Andrade introduce beside him: "This is the famous Lake Estanko, there is a large oasis around here, and further west is the Sahato Desert. ”

Sean nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "The creator is really amazing, it is amazing to create such a magnificent place." ”

"yes. Andrade agrees: "This is the border between the Saharto Desert, Lake Estanko and the Saora steppe. It is said that anyone who enters the Sahato Desert will never come out again, and this endless Lake Estonco leads to the distant open sea with no end in sight. He sighed softly and said, "If I weren't the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Regiment, I'm afraid I'd go into the desert or drift down the lake to see where the end is." ”

Sean turned his head dumbly, unexpectedly that this blood wolf mercenary leader still had such pride in his heart.

Seeing that Sean seemed thoughtful, Andrade couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Sean, what's wrong with you?"

"I thought of Maddie. Sean shrugged helplessly and said, "I invited him to go with me, but Captain Hugo took a mission, and the Tiger Mercenary Group must all participate, what a pity." ”

Andrade smiled slightly, Maddie's relationship with Sean is excellent, so of course he can't be allowed to participate in this trip. His heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Mr. Sean, you have such a good relationship with Maddie, haven't you considered joining their mercenary group?"

Sean was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Andrade, don't you want me to join your mercenary group?"

Andrade smiled proudly and said, "Although the Tiger Mercenary Group is not the same as our name, many years of cooperation have made us no different from a mercenary group. ”

Sean's heart flashed a few thoughts, it turned out that these three mercenary groups had such a deep relationship with each other. If he kills all these people, then for the Tiger Mercenary Group, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

Andrade waited for a moment, and seeing that Sean still didn't answer, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Sean, we are estimated to stay here for about a month, and I hope to get a piece of news that will make both parties happy." With that, he turned and left.

Sean sneered in his heart, it seemed that Andrade had given himself a month to choose, and a month later, when they were ready to return to Ollidogua, it was the deadline to force himself to speak.

If you don't join them, then I'm afraid that your life will be difficult to protect.

Gently stroking the short bow on his back, Sean felt a little bitter in his heart, if it weren't for this thing, Andrade and the others might not care so much about themselves.

"Whew, Whew......"

The sound of waves crashing came from underwater, and in a few moments, a huge crocodile-like creature slowly climbed up.

Andrade's mouth opened in surprise and suddenly said, "Oh my God, we were so lucky to have met a black-armored lizard." ”

Sean looked at the people around him, and saw that everyone's eyes were shining with golden light, as if he was not looking at a monster, but at a pile of flickering golden cree.

"Andrade, what is this?"

"This is a monster called the Black Lizard near the center of Lake Estanko. Andrade said softly, "This magical beast has a very thick skin and hard armor, and its whole body is full of treasures, which is the best material for making magic tools. If we can slaughter it and sell it to the magician, then we won't have to take on any more business this year. ”

Sean was slightly stunned, there were nearly two hundred people in the three mercenary groups, and the things on one black lizard were enough to maintain the expenses of two hundred people for a year, no wonder Andrade and the others were so excited.

After sensing the magic fluctuations from this demonic beast a little, Sean's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What level of demonic beast is this?"

"The second peak, or the third edge. ”

"Oh my God, are you planning to provoke a third-level demonic beast?" Sean asked in disbelief, as he took a slight step back in his footsteps. The third-level demonic beast has the same strength as a formal magician, and if he doesn't reveal his identity, he will not be able to deal with it at all with this team.

Andrade smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the black armor lizard is an alternative to the monster species, they don't know magic, they just rely on the heavy armor on their bodies and the sharp teeth in their mouths to hurt people." ”

Sean was taken aback and said, "What do you say?

"Well, although this kind of magical beast can't do magic, but they usually live near the middle of the lake, and we can't touch it at all. Andrade sighed, and then waved his hand, and more than a dozen people around him immediately began to act in an orderly manner.

The three tall heavy-shielded warriors lowered their heavy backpacks, and with the help of their companions, hung thick baffles in several key places, and then raised their heavy shields, which were one person high, and slowly approached the black-armored lizard.

Sean's eyes widened, still a little incredulous, and asked, "Andrade, in this world, there are really third-level demonic beasts that can't magic?"

"Yes. Fisher interjected coldly and said, "Although they don't know magic, if they live for a hundred years, then they can directly evolve into a fifth-level demonic beast flying black armor lizard, and they will have two abilities of wind and water at the same time." ”

Sean suddenly realized that it was absolutely an incredible thing to be able to directly evolve from a third-level demonic beast to a fifth-level demonic beast, so it seemed normal to lose magic within a hundred years.

At this moment, the ugly black-armored lizard seemed to have sensed the ill-will of the humans approaching it.

It turned its nearly two-meter-long body, staring at the three giant shield warriors with a cold gaze.

Finally, under Andrade's command, the three giant shield warriors bravely rushed forward and collided heavily with the black-armored lizard.

This time seemed to have succeeded in provoking the anger of the other party, and the black armored lizard opened its huge mouth, revealing dagger-like teeth, and bit down fiercely.

A giant shield warrior was quick to put the giant shield horizontally, only to hear a soft sound of "bang", the two rows of sharp teeth had been tightly bitten together, and the giant shield was firmly bitten, and a bite down, actually bit out a few big holes.

Sean was secretly frightened in his heart, although this big guy can't cast magic, but its strength is still strong, if it is accidentally bitten by it, I am afraid that even if it has heavy armor, it will be difficult to compete.

At this moment, the situation in the field has changed dramatically.

After Andrade's order, more than a dozen people rushed forward, using the other two shields as cover, and tightly pressed the two-meter-long body of the black armored lizard against a boulder on the shore.

Although the black-armored lizard was infinitely powerful, it was still unable to move under the desperate squeeze of more than a dozen super macho men.

Sean watched this scene dumbfounded, in addition to Dexter, Mire, and himself, even Andrade himself took it personally.

More than a dozen people squeezed in the small space, and they firmly hugged the black lizard.

"This ......," Sean asked cautiously, "Is there anyone who deals with Warcraft like this?"

Fixter glanced at him coldly and said, "If you don't understand, don't speak." ”

Sean's face changed slightly, and he suddenly closed his mouth.

Fisher stepped forward and silently cast a first-order magic on the black-armored lizard.

Sensing the fluctuation of magic power, Sean immediately knew that this guy was performing a first-level sleepy technique, and Sean had also learned this kind of magic, but the power of this magic was not strong, as far as Sean knew, this kind of magic could only have a certain effect on ordinary people, and the magicians with extremely high spiritual power and those warriors who had undergone hard training had great immunity to this kind of magic.

However, it is used to deal with Warcraft, and it is still close to the third-level Warcraft, so it is basically not very likely to succeed.

Sure enough, Fisher cast it three times in succession, but none of them could make the black-armored lizard fall asleep.

Andrade gasped and said, "Fisher, this guy's strength is too great. ”

"Tail, tail......" the two men shouted frantically, and the people who had held its tail were already a little unsupportable.

Andrade's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted: "Milie, Sean, don't be vigilant, hold it down together." ”

Sean pounced on the stitches, pressed heavily on the others, and grabbed the thick giant tail. When Sean's hand touched its tail, he realized how powerful this guy really was, and that huge shaking force almost made him ugly on the spot.

Taking a deep breath, the muscles on Sean's body beat faintly, and they bulged up in an instant, and a powerful force suddenly burst out, firmly grasping the tail of the black armored lizard.

The few people beside Sean clearly felt the tremendous power that erupted from Sean's body, and in an instant, even the three giant shield warriors and several stout werewolves who were known for their strength felt extremely shocked in their hearts.

This guy, is he really a magic archer? He can't be an elephant man in human skin.

Andrade glanced at Sean with a complicated expression, and said to Fisher: "Hurry up, three chances, we must let it fall asleep, otherwise we will have to kill it." ”

Fisher nodded slightly, and the lethargy was released again. I don't know if it's his character outburst, but this time the lethargy technique was successful.

Sean and the others obviously felt that the black armored lizard that was constantly struggling in their hands suddenly stopped, and their big cold eyes slowly closed.

Andrade and the others cheered at the same time, and there was excitement in everyone's voices that could not be concealed.

Sean relaxed, looking at everyone inexplicably, today's experience was really an eye-opener for him, he couldn't imagine that in this world, there was such a way to deal with Warcraft. If you go back to the magic tower of the Duchy of Louis and tell Benson about them, I'm afraid no one will believe you.

Looking at his somewhat damp hands, thinking that he was actually fighting against a demonic beast just now, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, could it be that he was crazy enough to do such a dangerous thing, it was really incredible.

Fixede breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "My lethargy can last for about an hour at a time, and we must return immediately." ”

"Return?" Sean asked, confused, "Now?"

"That's right. Andrade was also excited: "We were able to capture a black armored lizard alive, this time the harvest is really great." However, it will not be easy to return it safely to Ollido Melon. ”

Sean frowned and said, "It's not easy for us to come here, do we want to go back for this thing?"

Everyone was surprised, looking at Sean's eyes with an indescribable strangeness.

Andrade hesitated for a moment and said, "Sean, a live black-armored lizard, whether sold to the Werewolf Empire or the Gehan Empire, is enough for all of us to get a lot of wealth. With this money, even if we don't work as mercenaries, we can live the rest of our lives smoothly. ”

Sean asked suspiciously, "Is it that valuable this thing?"

Mi Lie nodded heavily, and said: "I heard that the court mage of the empire has a means of inducing birth, which can make the living black armor lizard evolve into a flying black armor lizard in a few years, if there is one more flying black armor lizard knight in the royal family, then you should understand what kind of power this represents." ”

Sean's gaze flickered over the black lizard's ugly body, and he immediately understood why.

Warriors are absolutely unable to compete with magicians in terms of combat effectiveness, and what high-level warriors can kill magicians of the same level is simply nonsense.

If you want to train a magician, the time and difficulty are far more than a hundred times that of a warrior, if there is really no gap between the two, then what fool would learn magic.

In the world, everything is based on strength, and if the magicians did not possess the abilities far superior to those of the warriors, they would not have been able to achieve such a lofty status.

However, there are still some ways for warriors to deal with magicians. Aside from sneak attacks, that is to become a Warcraft Knight, with the powerful power of the mount, is the only way they can compete with the mage openly.

It's just that becoming a Warcraft Knight is definitely not an easy task. But listening to the tone of Mi Lie and the others, it seems that both the Werewolf Empire and the Gehan Empire have a way to make the Black Armor Lizard transform into a flying Black Armor Lizard in a few years, and they can also successfully capture this magical beast.

If a fifth-level demonic beast is subdued by humans, then the power of this combination will definitely not be inferior to that of ordinary three-star magicians, and it can even compete with great magicians, so it is natural that these two countries are willing to pay a lot of money.

Nodding slightly, Sean said, "Okay, you guys go back." ”

"What about you?" asked Andrade.

"I'm going to find something here. Sean smiled and said, "Something that works for me." ”

Andrade and the others glanced at each other, their hearts full of thoughts. After a long time, Andrade nodded and said, "Well, good luck." ”

Sean waved at them and ran for a short distance, disappearing into the scattered boulders by the lake.

"Why did you let him go?" asked a Chamber of Commerce member.

"Be content, man. Andrade gave him a cold look and said in a deep voice.

"It will take seven days for us to return to Oridogua at the earliest, and every hour, I will have to perform several sleepy spells, so from now on, I will not be able to provide you with any additional help beyond this magic." ”

Miriel let out a long sigh and said, "With his strength and speed, coupled with the magic bow, if we lose the mage, we may not be able to leave him behind, and if there is a stalemate and let the black lizard escape, it will be more than worth the loss." ”

Since the three giants made the same decision, there was no one to oppose it anymore, and several strong men lifted the black-armored lizard in a coma and returned to the original path.

※※※※

"Head, they did find a good baby. ”

A few kilometers away, a thief jumped down and whispered to the Knicks, revealing a greedy look in the man's eyes.

"What did they find?" Nicks asked sharply.

"Black-armored lizard, a living black-armored lizard. The thief said excitedly, "No wonder they are bringing three giant shield warriors here, it turns out that they have been planning to ambush here for a long time and wait for the black armored lizard." ”

If Andrade and the others heard this, they would definitely laugh their big teeth. The biggest purpose of the three giant shield warriors they brought was actually to guard against Sean's bow and arrows, but no one expected to meet the black armored lizard here, and the few people who were red-eyed naturally gave up their original goal without hesitation.

"Black lizard?" the tall Nyx stood up abruptly and asked, "You read that right?"

"Absolutely not. ”

"Great, we didn't come in vain this time. Knicks' eyes were sparkling, and of course he understood the value of this thing.

"Doesn't the black lizard live in the middle of the lake, and why did they come to the lake?" asked a man wearing a cloak and dressed like Dexter.

Another old white-haired werewolf sighed lightly and said, "Nyx, if we master this method......"

Nicks nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, if we can master this method, then we will continue to create Warcraft Knights, which is really exciting." ”

He suddenly raised his head and said sharply: "Brothers, I will remember it later, and I will catch them all alive." His eyes flashed with a gloomy light, and he said to himself, "I must force this method out of their mouths." ”

Behind a boulder in the distance, Sean took off the blindfold on his head, looked in this direction with a strange expression, and said secretly in his heart, Nix, even if you cramp and skin all of them, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask the answer......

He shook his head slightly, thought about it seriously, and tiptoed to follow.

(To be continued)
