Chapter Seventy-Five: Tracking

Although Derotan's unobtrusive mouth was very frustrating, Frank had to admit that he had a point. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mephis is a warrior monk, both good at fists and feet and blessed by divine powers, with a "pure body" and a "vajra body" (both are supernatural abilities), not afraid of any epidemic and toxins (usually found by undead creatures), and can manipulate fires with restraint to deal with all kinds of undead creatures that flood the castle of Advance, this darling of the fire god Kosuss can really stand up to two mere mages.

Thinking about it like this, Frank felt much more comfortable.

Eight men and eight horses galloped on the road.

The road is a dirt road, basically walked out by pedestrians, and the maintenance work is extremely inadequate, and after passing through a section outside the city gate, the road conditions begin to become difficult.

Bumps, potholes, and strange appearances......

The road is lined with a variety of scattered trees, messy grasses and low shrubs. It's winter, these plants are either bare, or yellow, even if they barely keep green, they are all covered with a layer of darkness, when the wind blows, the withered grass flutters all over the sky, it seems, it is really extremely depressed, extremely decaying.

Winters are cold, of course, especially in the higher latitudes of the Northlands, and outside Crescent City, which is not barrierd by two mountains, it is an area ruled by cold winds. At this time, it is difficult to see business trips on the road that are still in a hurry, but occasionally you can meet adventurers who are in a company of three or two. These guys are alert and sleek enough, always put on full alert when they meet strangers, and when they confirm that there is no danger, they will greet people with the most enthusiastic attitude, which is really... It's stinky enough to be shameless, and what this understands is the accumulation of experience.

The eight people sitting on the horses were all dressed in thick fur coats to keep out the cold, and the crescent moon emblem embroidered on the fur coats was undoubtedly the best identification mark, which could save them a lot of trouble.

Eight horses strode their hooves without hurrying.

Frank turned his head to look at the charming Mephis, and suddenly he licked his lips and asked, "Miss Mephis, why did you agree to participate in this trip?"

Mephis smiled brightly and replied, "It's very simple, Mr. Derotan told me about this matter, and sent an invitation, and I thought it was suitable, so I participated." ”

"That's it?"

"Hmm. Otherwise, isn't the fort a place of wickedness and filth? Isn't it the most correct good deed to purify it? The answer is yes, then, it is incumbent upon us and other servants of God! So I participated, just as Mr. Tours and Mr. Kent were willing to participate. ”

Belch......

Frank choked, he wanted to say, the fire elemental god Kosus you serve is not a good god at all, right! Why do you need to punish evil everywhere and promote good to promote it? Moreover, the purpose of Tour's and Kent's joining is not pure, there is a certain degree of exchange of interests and political considerations - this can be seen even by Frank, who considers himself a political idiot.

"How can there be such a pure girl?"

Touching his nose, Frank continued to ask, "You've been staying in Crescent City all these days?"

"Ah, yes. Mephis shrugged helplessly, "I've been operating in the Perth Heath in eastern Northland for some time, where there are countless civilians in need and bastards who do all kinds of evil. And then, you know..."

Mephis glanced at Ye Guyun, who was silent, and then winked playfully at Frank.

"I accepted the summons and teleported, fulfilling a promise I had made to Roddick. After that, I decided to stay in Crescent City for the time being. Because Perth Heath is quite far away, I am too lazy to rush back in the winter. ”

Hahaha~

Not just Frank, but several people, even the most serious of Tours, chuckled at Mephis's little self-deprecation. And the most obvious is the wooden looking paladin Kent who is actually sunny and lively, noticing the pink-haired girl's turned gaze, the big boy immediately turns his head shyly to prevent others from seeing his slightly reddened face.

Only Ye Guyun and Weisi didn't laugh. The former was contemplating the surrounding terrain and scenery, and from time to time comparing it with the map in his hand, believing that he was pondering some important things. The latter, on the other hand, was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mephis continued.

"During my time in Crescent City, I wasn't idle. I've solved a lot of problems for the people in the neighborhood!Well, a ghost, three ogres, two tribes of fishmen who have come ashore to plunder, and a few bandit gangs. ”

Ye Guyun's heart moved, and he looked back at Frank and asked, "Are there 'many' bandit gangs near Crescent City?"

"Is there any city outside of the city where there aren't some bandit gangs?" and without Frank answering, Mephis was the first to respond.

As soon as he thought of the overall social situation in this era of this world, Ye Guyun suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'm just interested in them." Frank, maybe you should ask your father to add an additional proviso to the bounty that if someone can capture the bandits around Crescent City, he'll get an extra big bounty. ”

"Huh?" Frank was confused, and didn't react for a moment.

"You want to send all those robbers to the engineering team?" Weiss, who had been silent, couldn't help but interject at this moment.

"Yes. I think that hard work is the best way to atone for the sins of the robbers who do all kinds of evil. Ye Guyun replied.

"Oh! great idea! I approve of it!" Mephiss apparently agreed, and the others shook their heads as well, but Vess was merciless in her dismantling of everything.

"Hmph, you're just trying to use those robbers to fill your manpower gap that you can never fill!"

Ye Guyun didn't think it was wrong, smiled indifferently, and responded: "That's right, it's true." However, it cannot be denied that this approach can indeed take into account the punishment of the wicked and the support for construction, and since this is the case, there is nothing wrong with it. ”

"Hypocrisy. Vess rolled her eyes, then turned her head and muttered, "You're the biggest villain." ”

The voice was very small, but Ye Guyun could still hear it, and Weis's hostility made him feel inexplicable, but he didn't care. glanced at the armor on the other party's body, and couldn't help but ask a question that had been pressing: "Actually, I'm a little puzzled." Shouldn't the plate armor be particularly heavy?Shouldn't it be used to prepare another horse for transportation, and only equip the upper body when the battle is about to save the physical strength of people and horses to the greatest extent?" Ye Guyun pointed to the few people wearing armor, "Why are you all wearing them?" You know, it's just a rush now. ”

Hearing this, Weiss sneered, "I didn't expect our chief consultant to know nothing about plate armor!"

Indeed, Ye Guyun's understanding of plate armor is extremely small.

An ordinary person who is not a special profession naturally has no chance to come into contact with this kind of thing that has become an antique on the modern earth. Of course, it was an era of information explosion, and anyone could easily get the massive information they wanted as long as they opened the computer (mobile phone) and clicked on the browser and the keyboard, but if they were not interested in a certain aspect of something, they were doomed to have no chance in this field, because you were always surrounded by other massive amounts of information. It is very reasonable that Ye Guyun is not interested in plate armor and does not understand it-cold weapons or something, it is just a very niche interest.

Then, in the second life, a martial arts world similar to the ancient Chinese feudal dynasty, Ye Guyun still failed to touch the plate armor. This thing has never appeared in ancient China at all! Let's not climb that technology tree.

Therefore, for plate armor, Ye Guyun only has some impression flow understanding, sturdy, heavy, and clumsy......

"A well-made plate armor isn't too heavy, and it doesn't even lose much flexibility!"

The weight of plate armor is generally more than 20kg, and the special complete body armor is 25~30kg, about 60 pounds, while the typical chain mail is generally less than 10kg, about 20 pounds, which seems to be 3 times the weight ratio, but the actual weight difference is only 10~15kg. For a strong warrior, the extra weight of 10~15kg is not too harsh, and the relatively advanced structure of plate armor can effectively reduce the burden of its weight on the body. Considering that the two are not on the same level of defense, if possible, every warrior who always has to fight bloody battles will of course prefer plate mail to chain mail.

"As for horsepower, heh, we are not cavalry, and we are not ready to fight immediately, so naturally we don't need to worry too much about it. ”

"I see, thank you Kop. Ye Guyun thanked him very modestly, but it made Weisi, who had always been unkind, very angry. Turning her head, she pursed her lips and returned to silence.

Of course, the conversation in the team will not stop there, especially with the hot girl Mephis, who soon moves on to other things. The team continued to move at the same pace, and was able to reach the vicinity of Fort Advance before sunset.

Suddenly, the horse under the first seat neighed, and with a lift of its front hooves, the man rose to his feet, and all the horses behind him stopped in a hurry, but fortunately all the men and horses were well trained to prevent the antics of the fall of the horses.

"Don't panic!, just a few winter wolves!" McCarty patted his horse, "This fellow is also alert, he smelled the wolf, and stopped. Hi good horses!"

As he spoke, the big white man turned over and dismounted, drew the short sword at his waist, and cautiously moved forward, preparing to drive away the winter wolves that suddenly broke in. However, before he could get closer, several winter wolves dispersed on their own.

Obviously, these winter wolves are also alert enough, and they sense that there is a powerful existence in this team that they cannot defeat, that is, to withdraw decisively, the natural instinct of hunters, it is really sharp and powerful.

"Ho~!I'm running pretty fast," McCarty stopped, and there was a burst of swearing on his lips. Suddenly, with a speed that was too fast to see, he collected his sword, drew his bow, took an arrow, turned around, strided, stretched his arms, opened the full moon with his bow, and the arrow was like a meteor, and shot an arrow at the back of the team!

Whoosh~!

The arrow stuck in the trunk of a large tree diagonally behind the team.

McAte's series of actions was absolutely surprising, if it weren't for the fact that the target he was aiming at was not in the team, Ye Guyun would really think that the rumored black and white bears were used to betraying their teammates.

"X! missed!"

McCarty cursed in annoyance, then withdrew his bow and arrows and walked back.

"You feel it too?" said the big black Dirkku.

"Whew, you feel it, I can't feel it?" McCarty rolled over and glared at his partner, "Even if that fart worm has some ability, he escaped quickly, and this arrow didn't get him out!"

"You mean, we have stalkers behind us?" asked Frank, surprised.

"Ah, yes!" Facing Frank, McCarty's expression suddenly became extremely respectful, now the two of them knew the identity of this young man - the second son of the Ashron family, the third noble person in Crescent City!

"Dirkku and I are accustomed to a special and powerful ability to detect the movements of peeps lurking within 100 yards, and we are both proud and convinced of it. I'm sure we're being followed! Not far out of town, we're hanging from behind! Unfortunately, we can't tell what happened to him, but there are two things we can be sure of, he's very good at stealth, and he's very fast! Look, we couldn't get out of the way on horseback!"

Is someone really tracking?

McKati's solid tone made people have to believe it, and for a moment, everyone's brows furrowed.

Ye Guyun glanced back, the scenery behind him was still the same, an ugly dirt road, lined with trees and weeds, very quiet, only the sound of wind and grass moving, maybe there was really a hidden threat, but there was really no special abnormality.

Smiling indifferently, he waved his hand to greet everyone: "Leave it alone! Let's keep going. ”

Twisting around, clamping the horse's belly, Ye Guyun took the lead in running forward.
