Chapter 177: A Strange Curse

Suddenly, everyone present was a little surprised by Shuai Ke's words.

"Fart, you are the Knights of the Guardian of the Holy Maiden, and at the end of the day, you guards don't even know where the person you want to protect is?

"Commander Tomahawk, please stop, I believe that neither Squadron Leader Shuai Ke nor the Solan Divine Cult have any reason to deceive us in this matter. ”

The head of the stubble group was the first to shout and scold, but he was stopped by one of the two chamber of commerce presidents, and the head of the stubble group glared at him angrily, only to find that in addition to Shuai Ke, several other "companions" in Luke Town were all looking at him with warning eyes at the moment.

"Cut, okay, okay, you guys are with this bastard knight mushroom, X, Lao Tzu doesn't care about the first sect in the continent, I look forward to you as a savior, but the people who can't save Lao Tzu are still perfunctory, bullshit God Sect!"

The head of the stubble stubble stood up scoldingly, kicked the chair away and strode out of the tavern.

"Hey, Tomahawk Commander!"

The other four in Rook Town obviously didn't expect Captain Stubble to leave suddenly, and didn't think about it until he had already stepped out of the tavern with one foot, but Captain Stubble simply ignored them and left.

"I'm sorry, Squadron Leader Shuaike. ”

The remaining four reluctantly sat down again, and the leader of another mercenary group apologized to Shuai Ke as a representative.

"Tomahawk guy, although he was also an impatient before, wouldn't be so foolish for no reason...... He himself was seriously injured in the attack a few days ago, if it weren't for the desperate efforts of his deputy commander to rescue him, I am afraid that more than one arm would have been injured and at least half of his life would have been lost, in order to save him, his deputy regiment commander has been lying in bed unconscious until now, so he will be a little unable to control himself, he is really sorry. ”

Shuai Ke glanced thoughtfully at the tavern hallway, which had been smashed into pieces by the stubble leader, and then smiled gently.

"It doesn't matter, I understand the mood of the Tomahawk Commander, he is a good Commander. ”

Seeing that Shuai Ke was very talkative, everyone also calmed down, and then their attention focused on what Shuai Ke said before.

"Squadron Leader Shuaike, you said you don't know where the Alternate Saintess is, what's going on?"

Shuai Ke smiled wryly.

"Well, yes, that's right, although we, uh, are the bodyguards of Her Excellency-Elect, but in fact this missionary tour is a trial for the Virgin-in-Waiting, so in order not to interfere with the trial of the Virgin-in-Elect, we are only stationed in a relatively close place as a potential escort, and we are not acting with the Virgin-in-Waiting, so, uh, after receiving the contact from the Partition Church, we and the Virgin-in-Candidate are also acting separately, so we don't know exactly where she is now. ”

Shuaike's explanation was basically reasonable, and he subconsciously believed that the people from the Divine Cult had no reason to deceive them in such a matter, so although there were some doubts about the occasional suspicious pause and obvious stiff and embarrassed expression when Shuaike spoke, the people in Rook Town didn't say anything more.

"All in all, there are some sacrifices in our Knights who have come with the team, and although they are not as good as the Virgin Elect, at least some basic measures to suppress the curse can still be done. This time I brought a squadron here, the manpower is still relatively sufficient, and I will arrange for people to go around to pick up the alternate saintess, in addition, I will personally lead people to track down that group of sand bandits, these curses are obviously brought by them, if you want to find a solution, it is better to figure out why these sand bandits have such strange changes. ”

What Shuai Ke said was very reasonable, and the people in Rook Town also nodded yes, and then after chatting some polite words that were not very important, the people said goodbye to Shuai Ke together, and left the tavern to go about their own business.

After the guests left, Shuai Ke breathed a long sigh of relief, and soon walked down from the second floor of the tavern A silver-armored knight with the same muscles as Shuai Ke, unlike the more calm Shuai Ke, the new muscle knight looked slightly younger and had a more cheerful temperament.

"Yo he," the new young knight habitually whistled as he looked at the tables, chairs and hallways smashed by the stubble leader, "Big brother, it seems that the Tomahawk Commander is not mildly ill." ”

Shuai Ke frowned slightly, but it was not disgust, it was just similar to the reproach of the elders for the juniors who misbehaved.

"Cole, I told you to be more cautious as a knight, we're knights, not thugs from nowhere. ”

"Hehe," the young knight named Cole scratched his head, "Big brother, you know me too, I'm used to it, it's too hard to change." ”

Shuai Ke shook his head, but didn't say anything more on the subject.

"Sure enough, as our priest had said, everyone was drawn to the tragic condition of the wounded and the strange appearance of the wounds, but no one was aware of this change in temperament. ”

Cole restrained some nonchalant expression on his face, and also showed a serious look.

"Big brother, I've been a Templar for a few years, but I've never heard of such a curse. There are many curses that can prevent wounds from healing, but it is simply unheard of to be able to generate the underlying emotions of riot mania and desire to destroy in a conscious state, and think about it, if it goes on like this, it will turn into a group of conscious mad saboteurs. ”

"People who have been attacked by crazed sand bandits are also tainted with madness, and if this inexplicable desire for destruction can really be contagious in this way, it will really become a big problem. ”

Shuai said this, turning his head to look at Cole.

"The wounded in the town are more or less contaminated with this emotion, but because of the injury, this desire to destroy has not been noticed for the time being, Cole, as I said just now, the next affairs in the town and the search for the candidate saint will be left to you, I will take most of the people to pursue those sand bandits, after I leave, you should immediately contact the branch church and ask them to send more people. ”

"Big brother, there are quite a few of those sand bandits, and compared to the wounded people in the town who have just become irritable, it is obvious that the minds of those sand bandits have been completely eroded by this terrible desire for destruction, according to the mercenaries, they are completely crazy to fight together, but if you go to pursue, I am afraid that it will be dangerous. ”

"Haha, what are you talking about," Shuai Ke laughed, "from the time I took over you bastards until now, I don't remember teaching you to be afraid of this before you fight." ”

"It's different this time, if it's just that group of sand bandits, don't need you, big brother, I'll take a small team of people to cook them casually," Cole shook his hand, "But at the moment, we don't know exactly what caused these sand bandits to mutate, and we don't know if there are any other towns and tribes around that have been contaminated by this strange curse, the people of Shuaike's squadron are never afraid to fight people, but at least we have to figure out what our opponent is first." ”

Shuai Ke shook his head.

"Cole, it's because we don't know how many people around us are contaminated with this curse, that we have to catch up with this group of bandits as soon as possible. Whether or not there have been such attacks elsewhere before, at least the first time it was first spotted was this one, in other words, the bandits are the only clues we can take to the source of this curse. Besides, even if we can't learn more useful things from them, at least we can't let them continue to go somewhere else to cause the inhabitants of this place to continue spreading this curse, we are the Knights Templar, and it is our responsibility to stop the spread of evil, right?"

"Then at least let me lead the team, big brother, you stay here-"

"Are you underestimating me as a squadron leader!" Shuai reprimanded loudly, "Or are you underestimating the task I gave you? Who can guarantee that these sand bandits will not attack Rook Town a second time? Besides, the Saint-in-Waiting, she doesn't know where she is now, and it is not easy to find someone in the desert, so even if you stay behind, your task is not easier than mine, understand, Vice Captain Cole!"

Cole scratched his face with a wry smile.

"Okay, I got the big brother......"

Shuaike's expression softened, and he raised his hand to pat Cole on the shoulder.

"You are no longer the stunned young boy I trained hard back then, as the vice captain of our squadron, you have to know what to do when and when...... Be careful about the things in the town, although it seems that those injured people don't have anything else unusual except for being a little more irritable than before, but it doesn't hurt to be careful, and you also have to put more effort into the alternate saint's side, the current generation of the Southwest Desert is not very peaceful, if you keep letting that confused girl wander around alone, it is very likely that she will encounter unexpected dangers, and you have to find her as soon as possible. ”

"Got it, big brother," Cole's expression was a little strange when it came to the saint they were supposed to protect, "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen big brother lie to you." ”

Shuai Ke coughed a little awkwardly.

"Ahem, I'm not telling too many lies, it's true that we didn't follow the Holy Maiden closely, but guarded the Holy Maiden's trials from afar as protectors, didn't we? ”

"Yes, that's right at first, but it's a pity that we lost our alternate saintess halfway through the trial," Cole shook his head, "It just so happens that the branch church has an instruction at this time, and we don't even have time to find someone to go straight here." ”

The Squadron Leader and Deputy Squadron Leader of the Knights Templar looked at each other speechlessly, and had to smile bitterly at each other.

The most talented of the candidate saints of the generation of the Solan Divine Cult is considered to be a girl who is very likely to become the next generation of saints, but it is a pity that such a genius sacrificial girl who can cast middle and high-level light magic at a young age is a natural nerd with her own road idiot attributes.

Although the Cult of God has a protective secret method for such an important person, which can ensure that the protectors will sense her location when the Holy Maiden is in danger, this secret method has not been triggered since the disappearance of the Holy Maiden.

In other words, the Confused Saintess has always been simply lost without encountering any danger...... Hawkers, congratulations......?
