Chapter 41: The House of the Black Knight
Siamo and Apocalypse were deeply shocked along the way as they heard the news of the war on the continent. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info often complain about their dismal fate, only to know that there are more unfortunate people in the world than them.
The third prince, Zeming, led everyone to move quickly in the mountains.
The thief's agility leads and acts as a scout. A mercenary in heavy armor with a warhammer at the head was followed by a few archers and the like, and of course there were a few beautiful mages in the middle with Apocalypse Simo, their outfits were ordinary but their wands were extraordinary, all inlaid with large magic crystals. Simo and Apocalypse gradually became acquainted with these people along the way, and they also talked a few words from time to time.
These people have long formed good combat habits for long-term survival in the wild, and they are not panicked when encountering unexpected events.
Along the way, I saw many poisonous insects and beasts, but none of them posed a threat. The thorns encountered by several people on the road were not cleaned up at all, and Ze Ming hoped that the fewer traces they could move forward, the better, which was a necessary quality for mercenaries to operate in the field. As for road signs, they don't need them at all. Raising his head and looking into the distance, he only saw that the other end of the mountain was still a mountain, and the imperial county town had long since disappeared, and this mountain was really undulating, as if there was no edge at all.
A few goshawks flew through the crevices of the mountain peaks, and their sharp talons were struggling with fearful screaming prey. A few chickling eagles flutter their wings, a little alive in the crevices of the steep cliff faces.
At this rate, Simo and Apocalypse will soon be at their destination.
A strong orc at the back of the line was silent, his ugly and terrifying face seemed to be a relic left by a volcanic eruption, and he didn't say a word at all along the way, thinking that he was a non-verbal orc if he didn't pay attention.
Later, I learned that this orc was called Kama. He used to be the god of war, and the name seems a little familiar, but Apocalypse still can't think of a reason. Simo was a little surprised that this group of people had such a mysterious and powerful background, either some mysterious orc or god of war or something.
In fact, this is just a misunderstanding by Simo, and the God of War is only between the source and ordinary slaves. It's not comparable to those monks in the outside world.
As the sun was about to set, Apocalypse and Siamo finally arrived at their destination. That is, where is Sauron, the friend of the old man in Brazil.
In a mountain col that winds around the mountain, I saw a family, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, low fence walls, wooden cabins, and even a hen with a flock of chicks foraging in the sunset.
But all this seems incredible in this vast mountain jungle. Everyone knows that this is not the main area of human activities, and it is still infested with poisonous insects and beasts at night.
Ze Ming's mercenary group set up a simple tent on the other side of the col, which was considered to have a temporary place to live.
Sauron didn't seem very welcoming, but he still provided everyone with the things they needed for life. No matter how you look at it, he is an ordinary old man, and he can't even see a trace of kindness and wisdom on his face, on the other hand, Brazil's warm treatment, his face is always full of kind smiles, and even wisdom can be found on his face occasionally.
The personalities of the two people are completely opposite, and they can actually become friends together. Brazil brought Sauron's treasured tea leaves to everyone, and it was only at this time that Sauron's face showed a slight look of pain.
Simo hid behind and watched, and found that the small movements behind the two of them made people laugh. Sauron was angry but gave Brazil a moment in the dark, I didn't think that Brazil had been prepared, and the two old men still maintained their unique signature faces in front of outsiders, it was really difficult for this Sauron. It is estimated that he is bleeding profusely this time.
Everyone was still chatting at Sauron's house at night, sipping and leisurely sipping tea, occasionally without topic, just constantly complimenting, this tea is so good!
It wasn't until late at night that people reluctantly returned to their homes. Finally settled, Apocalypse couldn't sleep for a few days, although tired. Lying on the bed in the wooden house, listening to the insects at night, thinking about my own life experience, I couldn't sleep for a long time.
The moonlight outside the window was hazy, and suddenly Apocalypse saw a dark shadow flickering near the cabin, and then Sauron's room seemed to sound slightly. There was something unusually quiet in the cabin.
Apocalypse didn't sleep well all night, although once Apocalypse didn't need to sleep at night, now Apocalypse has forgotten all the previous exercises, although the physical foundation is still there, but after all, he still needs to rest, and the lack of a peaceful sleep all night makes Apocalypse look a little groggy.
The others were fine, but the big man Gu Wu didn't seem to have done anything good last night, his eyes were blank, his skin was dull, and he seemed to be in the dust as if he was in a hurry at night.
Apocalypse felt that Gu Wu must have something to hide from everyone last night, and looked at his gloomy face, and every time he saw Sauron's gloom, it seemed to be even heavier.
Ze Ming decided that everyone would rest here for a few days before leaving, so everyone relaxed. But how could these energetic mercenary teams be idle, they were practicing fighting in the distance or cultivating alone.
The strange thing is that after Sauron instructed everyone, he actually called Gu Wu aside alone to guide Gu Wu to cultivate!
Simo felt that Sauron was very partial, and actually did not guide Brazil and his friend Apocalypse, after so many days of getting along, Simo gradually accepted the fact that Apocalypse is not a magic weapon from her heart, and gradually developed in the direction of friends. As for the behavior, he still commands the apocalypse, and the apocalypse doesn't care so much, and I feel that the Simo people are not so messing around, but they are a little too lively. So she begged her master Brazil to quickly call Sauron over to guide the practice of the Apocalypse, and when she mentioned the practice, Simo was always excited, and countless times she always wanted to go outside with the Apocalypse to see the world.
Brazil doesn't think he's a real archmage, but under the heavy bombardment of Simo's sugar-coated cannonballs, he finally promised to let Sauron teach Apocalypse and make Apocalypse a powerful warrior or knight!
It can be seen that Sauron taught Gu Wu very carefully, and also gave Gu Wu an unknown dark red gem, and said to Gu Wu, feel the energy fluctuations in it with your heart, and come here when you can really use the energy inside, saying that Gu Wu will get a satisfactory answer.
Seeing Sauron's serious expression, none of them went to inquire or join in the fun, although everyone was curious.
Next, Sauron was helpless under the incessant bombardment of Brazil, and accepted the Apocalypse as a registered disciple.
The Apocalypse is about to step into his true cultivation, I don't know why Sauron's stubbornness for so many years has finally changed, I remember that the previous Sauron was not like this at all, his decision was not shaken at all, if it weren't for this stinky temper, it is estimated that the legend of the Black Knight would be rewritten, and there would be one more great knight in the world.
