Chapter 161: On the Ground (I)
The carriage sped forward at a rapid pace, and finally came to a halt as Romon approached the city gates.
Romon was not in the mood to talk nonsense, so he ordered the coachman to report his name and take out the badge, and finally lost a few gold coins, and sure enough, the city gate opened.
When they got outside, the carriage didn't dare to gallop fast.
In the moonlight, the fields and hills in the distance were shrouded in a clear light, and the trees on the side of the road rustled as the wind blew.
The coachman skillfully picked up the carriage and ran cautiously back in the moonlight.
Romon sat quietly on the carriage, opened the window of the carriage, and the fields and jungles under the moonlight carried a burst of fragrant smell, and in this smell, there were some natural forces hidden in it.
Gradually, the mood relaxed, and Romon ordered the adventurer, who had been sitting in front with the coachman, to go inside and tell the story again and again.
β...... That's how it is, my lord. β
The carriage was spacious, and even if it was three people, it would not seem crowded.
At this moment, Romon looked down in thought, and in front of him, the adventurer who was telling the truth of the matter closed his mouth.
"You mean, you don't know exactly what monsters have appeared, and you haven't even counted the numbers?" Romon suddenly raised his head and asked in a deep voice with a gloomy expression on his face.
A look of shame suddenly appeared on the adventurer's face: "I'm sorry lord, what we saw was a monster like a spider, but it was much bigger, and the place where the monster appeared at that time, there were only three people, two of them were bitten to death at that time, and the other is still unconscious...... Flesh and blood ...... a land"
When it comes to flesh and blood, it seems to think of the terrible scene at that time, and even such an experienced adventurer can't help but shiver.
Having already understood the general content, Romon nodded: "What about in the future?"
"Later, while the convoy was patrolling, it was attacked again, and there was not one more, and several more tenants were killed, and two adventurers were killed and wounded, and Lord Fafer saw that the situation was not good, and that it was getting dark again, so he gave an order for all the lords to retreat behind the wall. And he commanded me to come and tell the news, and when I came, I saw a few faint men, lurking outside the wall. β
"I know, it seems that what the specific monsters are and how many there are can only wait for me to return to the territory to find out. Can the carriage be a little faster?" said Romon, and the last sentence he had said to the coachman.
At the thought of such a thing happening in his territory, Luo Meng's heart couldn't help but be a little anxious, and the carriage he was riding in was now slower than usual, so he couldn't help but urge.
"Yes, my lord, I see, this is speeding up, please sit down. The driver in front of him hurriedly agreed, although it was dangerous to run at night, but it was not as good as this.
With a "snap", the horse in front couldn't help but let out a painful neigh, spread its hooves, and galloped wildly.
Romon and the people in the car, sitting in the carriage, had nothing to say for a while, and the silent atmosphere became more and more depressing.
And the swaying carriage also made Romon feel more and more anxious.
Monsters? How could there be monsters in his territory? Could it be that some powerful monsters appeared?
However, in the small mining area, it is not the depths of the marginal forest, and ordinary high-level demonic beasts will not appear in this kind of place at all.
It seems that we can only find out the specific situation after we go back.
Thinking of this, Luo Meng's heart was like cooking oil, and he eagerly looked forward to going back quickly, and quickly went to see what was going on in the territory.
But that's the way it is, the more anxious you are, the more troublesome things will happen.
Just as the carriage was halfway through, Romon felt the body shake and stopped.
"What's going on?" asked Romon as he lifted the curtain.
"My lord, when the wheels were running, they encountered a stone, something went wrong, and it will take time to repair it, you see......" The coachman got out of the car and checked it, and then looked at Romon with a bitter face.
Luo Meng's heart suddenly became angry, but he didn't want to send it to others casually, looking at the bad horse ridden by the adventurer who tied the reins to the car, he said a little anxiously: "Forget it, I'll ride this horse back first." β
So saying, he got out of the carriage, untied the reins of the horse, and then turned on the horse, and controlled it with the power of the druid, and the horse carried him in the direction of the territory.
Along the way, he didn't care about seeing any wonderful scenery, and he was not in the mood to see it, but he kept speeding up his horse.
Soon, he returned to the vicinity of the small mining village without stopping, and when he reached the vicinity, he let go of the druid's power, and called out the lightning bolts, and patrolled the air.
Lightning at night, as long as there is moonlight, can be inspected, Luo Meng more and more felt that raising lightning is a good thing, otherwise, this time back will not be so smooth.
Strangely, Lightning patrolled and found nothing in the vicinity.
The village was getting closer and closer, and when they were far away, they saw several vigorous figures on the thick wall, patrolling vigilantly, all lighting torches, and when they heard the sound from afar, they looked this way vigilantly.
Romon immediately released a light spell and shone it on top of him, so that the people in front of him could see clearly, and when these people saw it, they all stood still and saluted on the high wall.
"Your Excellency, you're back!"
"Lord Romong, you're back, open the door!"
"Where's Fafer?" asked Romon as he got off his horse, leading the horse into the gate, which closed heavily.
Someone replied, "Lord Fafer is on the wall near the hill, and he is organizing people to make an inspection!"
"Okay, I'll go find him. Romon got on his horse again, and galloped around the village, heading in that direction.
There, he saw not only Fafer, but also Nick with an anxious look, and Sukar and others, all armed.
"Romong, you're back!" Fafell was discussing something with Nick and the others, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked up, Fafeld suddenly let out a sigh of relief and shouted.
"I've heard everything, what's going on now?Have you found out what kind of monster it is?What happened to the person who was bitten?"
As the chief captain of the armed personnel in the entire Romon territory, Fafer is the most vocal, so, after listening to Rommon's questioning, he replied: "The situation is very bad now, before night, we sent a lot of people, but no one caught them, on the contrary, those monsters seem to be very cunning, and when they encounter a lonely, they will attack." β
Sukar also said: "These monsters look like magnified spiders, and besides, the two people who were bitten to death showed symptoms of poisoning, and this poison is very powerful......
"I heard that in addition to the six people killed, there was another person who was injured?" Romon asked.
"Yes!" Nick also accosted at this time, "I have already asked people to give him the antidote you prepared, the wound is not big, and the poison has been temporarily suppressed, just when you come back, see if you can make him wake up as soon as possible." β
"Okay, take me to see him. "As a fourth-level druid, Romon has not forgotten his duty to save people.
The wounded were lying in a guard post not far from here, the bed was not big, but it was very comfortable, and when Romon pushed the door in, he smelled a faint smell of blood in the room, and then saw a man with a white cloth wrapped in his left arm lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and he was in a coma.
And on the side, is Pastor Pakinla.
"Romong, that's him. Fafer said in a hoarse voice.
This person was a companion who had lived together for a while, and now, two people were killed and one was injured, and Fafer, as the captain of the escort, was naturally not in a good mood.
Similarly, as the lord of this territory, this kind of thing actually happened in his own territory, and Luo Meng's mood was also very depressed.
He walked up to the wounded, untied the gauze that wrapped the wound, examined it, and nodded. "The wound was treated properly and showed no signs of deterioration. β
"Yes, I didn't heal the wound because of my poisonous surname. Pastor Pakinla, who was on the side, said.
Luo Meng couldn't help but nodded approvingly, as a first-level priest, it was already very good that Pakina could stay here, and it was even better to deal with it.
"Now, prepare something for me, and I'm going to treat him. Romon then asked for some potions, water, and other things, and when these things were ready, he began to treat.
I saw him pour the potion on the wound, and silently used the druid's natural magic, and gradually, a green mist rose from the wound, and then, the mist gradually became thicker, and then he applied it to the man's wound.
"Romong, when will he wake up?" Nick was most concerned about this question. As an internal affairs officer, he needs to help the lord solve the current crisis as soon as possible.
Luo Meng looked carefully, took the clean towel handed over by Nick and wiped his hands, and said: "Strange, the situation is not very good, most of the toxins in his body have been cleaned by me, however, there is a trace of poison is very stubborn, the antidote can only have a partial effect on it, if you want to wake up, you need to continue treatment, and wait for a while, if there are more of this strange poison surname, he will die...... When he woke up, we asked him about the situation. β
"Yes, okay. Both Fafell and Nick were in favor of RomΓ³n's decision.
The three of them left the checkpoint room, and several people happened to pass by carrying two stretchers covered with white cloths.
"Wait a minute. Romon stopped them. "Let me take a look. β
"My lord, they ......" The man carrying it was a little afraid to scare Romon away.
Romon shook his hand. "They were killed on the job, and as a lord, I want to take a good look at them. β
As he spoke, he lifted a corner of the white cloth that covered one of the planes.
Then he put it down again, and then looked at another person according to the law, and then said bitterly: "Don't worry, I will avenge you, and I will go to investigate now." β
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the stretcher was carried down, and what he saw just now was a fragmented corpse.
"Let's go!" said Romon to Fafrel, who was now completely calm.
"Nick, you go back and sort out their home addresses, I'm useful. Romon said to Nick again.
Nick knew that with his body, it would be in vain to go, and nodded: "Okay." β
Then I went back to sorting out the paperwork.
"Romon, do you want to wait until dawn to check?" said Fafer, a little worried.
"Well, it doesn't matter, I ordered the lightning to patrol it, and you can know at once if there's anything going on, and go overnight, and I'll see what those are!" said Romon.
Fafer listened and nodded.
And by the wall where the incident occurred, Fafer left a small group of adventurers here, and when they saw Fafer's order, they all followed Romon and them to the place of the incident.
Along the way, the slightest sound of wind and grass will make everyone nervous.
The bushes growing on both sides are still the same as the original bushes, and the trees growing on both sides are still the same as before, but because of the monster incident that just happened, in the eyes of everyone, they have become a place for demons to hide.
Walking on the road, everyone was highly vigilant, for fear of something terrible jumping out of the grass next to them, and the swords were in their hands, but they were afraid that at this time, a rabbit suddenly jumped out, which could attract a piece of sword light and sword shadow.
"Romong, this is where the incident took place. In a place that was covered in blood and looked chaotic, the crowd stopped, and Fafer said to Romon with a gloomy face: "These spider-like monsters, which run very fast, used to haunt at night, but now they seem to be gone......
"Wait a minute!" Romon took a few steps, suddenly as if he sensed something, and suddenly stopped Farfel's words, closed his eyes, and sensed carefully.
As soon as he stepped into this area, he seemed to sense a hint of familiarity...... There's a very strange aura to it...... It's like...... It's like ...... "It's like the feeling of a crack in that mining area!" opened his eyes suddenly, and Romon suddenly realized, and his heart sank.
He had already felt it, but it still made him feel a little scared.
"Gap?" Hearing Rommon's words, Farfer was a little puzzled.
"I'll talk back to you, and see if there's anything else in the neighborhood. Romon didn't want to talk about it now, so he walked to the side again.
This is obviously where the incident happened, on the grass, there are still red blood stains that have not dried, Romon squatted down, carefully observed, but as a result, he still found nothing, after all, he is not an expert in this area.
And at this moment, the night wind was blowing, and the team members looked around, all nervously vigilant, these monsters were very fast, and some people had seen it, its countless feet, which could make them have the speed of horses.
In the night, or when you're unprepared, it's terrifying.
