Chapter 118: The New Dead Apostle
Neither Anne nor I threw anything into the torch at the Harvest Blessing because we had nothing to throw away, and I knew we would never be willing to lose it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Mr. Dackon's manor was still full of guests who came to visit, and my companions and I were already tired of it, and after some discussion, we finally decided to go back to the mercenary camp in Bazm Province, after all, we had stayed here for so long, it was time to go back and report to Captain Carlo, and the main reason why we decided to go back was Xiujie's reminder to us, they were "Carlson Honor" We have received reliable information that the Kingdom of Nirissan, an island nation not far from our south, will soon invade our country with all its might, so we have little time left to prepare for war.
In the past few days, we have also put forward suggestions to many celebrities and dignitaries in the country to strengthen preparations for war, including the proposal to the deputy speaker Cecil who I hate the most to strengthen the border guard level, but unfortunately in the end, they are the same as the situation of Xiujie at that time, and they run into walls everywhere, none of these people take this matter to heart, for them, how to obtain the most wealth and the greatest power is really important, although we have psychological preparation, but we still can't help but be a little frustrated.
Therefore, after thinking about it for the past few days, we decided to go back to Captain Carlo, report the latest situation to him, and at the same time discuss with him how to deal with the invasion of the Nirisan Kingdom in the future.
Now, we led the dragon bird to Mr. Dackon, Alice, and Harvey in the suburbs, and they drove us all the way to this in a magic car, and a short distance in front of us was the border checkpoint, through which we were back in the harsh desert area.
Alice held her Jean Paul teddy bear and reluctantly said to Anne, "Sister Anne, I really don't want you to go, you must come and play with me when you have time!"
Anne touched Alice's head and said with a smile, "Well, I will, Alice, you have to be more considerate of your father in the future, he also has his difficulties." ”
"Got it, Sister Anne, I'm not very demanding, as long as Dad can spare a little time to spend with me once in a while. Alice said, glancing at Mr. Dacon.
"Hehe, I'll definitely find more time to spend with you in the future, Alice. Mr. Daken smiled awkwardly and said to Alice.
"Look at your performance, huh!" said Alice, who didn't quite believe Mr. Daken, pouted again.
While Mr. Daken was still coaxing Alice, Saoga who was standing next to me was starting to get impatient, "When can I go?" He yelled loudly, quite rude, but he is now much better than the previous murderous him, although he used to be a member of the Seven Dead, but he has experienced a lot of things with us, and has changed a lot, except for the fact that he has to fight me once a day (he still loses to me every time, of course), the rest of the time is just crazy to exercise his muscles, harmless to humans and animals, and he doesn't want to be the Seven Dead Apostles, after all, it is equivalent to indirectly helping the Starlight Empire that destroyed his homeland, but we can't leave him with Mr. Daken and leave him alone, so let him follow usLet's go to Captain Carlo and see what to do!
"Well, let's leave it at that, I'm very optimistic about you promising young people, come on, Carlsen's future depends on you!" Harvey stepped forward to us, and Mr. Daken followed suit: "If there is anything you need my help with, just tell me, and I will do my best to help you!"
"Thank you, I'll keep it in my mind!" I said to them, and then waved goodbye to the three of them as we led the dragon bird towards the border checkpoint, ready to be inspected by the members of the police security team there.
However, I hadn't taken a few steps before I noticed that something suddenly became something wrong around me: the world suddenly became extremely quiet, the insects in the woods next to me had stopped, and even the bustling atmosphere of the distant checkpoint was gone, and everyone was still in place, I had seen this strange scene before, but it was a fantasy that Ysera had created in my head, why did this happen in reality? Am I in a fantasy again?
I looked back to see how my companions were doing, and found that Anne, Emma, and Alan were all frozen in place like stone statues, while Neil, Link, and Theorga were still able to move freely, but they were also looking around with a puzzled expression, not knowing what was going on. I also noticed that the dragon birds that we were all holding were also moving, and they didn't respond at all when they pulled the reins on their heads.
"Beware, everyone, someone has used 'stagnation' in this area, and now time has stood still here except us!" said the experienced Harvey to us, pulling Alice as he ran to us, and Mr. Dacon, who was standing not far away, seemed to have stopped his movements like Anne and the others, standing in place with his head bowed and his mouth open, as if he had been frozen when he had just spoken to Alice.
"Woo~ What's the matter?Why doesn't Daddy move?Goddess of Light, please bless Daddy to get back to normal!" Alice said with a crying voice.
"Miss Alice, please take heart, I have already told you that this is done on purpose, and that he must have some kind of intention against us, and it is not a good kind!" said Harvey, and all of us who could move raised their weapons and surrounded Alice in the middle, looking around warily.
"Who is going to do this to us?" Link asked in a low voice.
"No matter who it is, this person must be a magus who can use time magic, 'stagnation' is a kind of magic that can temporarily stop time in a certain area, but this stagnation technique doesn't seem to be too strong, people of our combat level can still move freely, only stopping the weaker Emma and them, but no matter what, everyone must not be careless!"
At this time, Saoga interjected: "Hmph, I can guess who did it, it must be Halder!"
I think I've heard the name, isn't he the captain of the "Seven Dead Apostles", the man nicknamed "The Mage of Time"?
I was still pondering, at this time, suddenly a golden flash appeared in front of our eyes, and then, five figures appeared in front of us: the most eye-catching is the bear warrior standing at the back, originally Theoga's body was strong enough, but I didn't expect this bear warrior to be stronger than him, both in size and muscles are much larger than Saoga, he is simply a small giant, he is dressed in brown fur, and he is also wearing thick bronze armor, in the shoulders, elbows, There are spikes on the knees and other joints, and he is really a dangerous guy, but his face is cute and smiling, which really doesn't match what he is wearing, it should be the "Titan of the Earth" Gordon mentioned by Theoga... Standing in front of the bearren warriors are all people about the same size as us, I saw the familiar "Witch of the Sky" Erin, "Wind Shooter" Tina and "Water Shadow Mirror" Carthew, but the strange thing is that Cassie, the sissy was shot through one eye by Neil, but now there is no scar on his face, how did he recover?
At this moment, a man in a purple robe standing next to Erin spoke: "I didn't expect you to die yet, Shura, and even joined the other party's team, I'll give you another chance, come back to our side and kill them, otherwise I'll let you know what is more painful than death later!"
Most of the man's face was obscured by the hood of his purple robe, and only a black purple lip could be seen under his nose, and his voice was supposed to be a middle-aged man of about forty years old, and his voice was very hoarse, which made people uncomfortable to hear.
"Damn, don't think that Lao Tzu will be intimidated by you! Lao Tzu has always wanted to fight against the masters in a dignified manner, but you always want me to participate in some conspiracy to sneak attack others, which is not the style of our Snaman nation at all! Lao Tzu is living quite well here now, he can fight every day, and Lao Tzu also knows that you are actually helping the Xinghui Empire that destroyed Lao Tzu's country, so Lao Tzu will not be their lackey!" said Saoga angrily.
"Hmph, the offspring of the barbarian race should be a good dog, since you have chosen to stand up and bark at me, then be conscious, anyway, there are so many people who can take your place after you go back, I promise it will make you feel that life is worse than death, this is the price of your betrayal of us!" Halder said coldly to Theoga.
"Halder, we already know the purpose of your "Seven Dead Apostles", you are doing reconnaissance work for the Kingdom of Nirissan to invade our country, spying on our country's secrets, we will not let you succeed!" Neil said, pointing at Halder.
"Hey, boy, you know a lot, but that's not our main goal, occupying your country is only our secondary goal. Halder sneered.
"What? could be more important than the occupation of our Carlson?" asked Neil, surprised, all of us thinking the same way he was, not expecting Halder to say that.
Halder pointed his right hand at Alice, who was hiding behind me, "Yes, the main purpose of our trip is to find the 'Goddess's Legacy', and this little girl is the key to whether we can find a part of the 'Goddess's Legacy'!" (To be continued.) )
