Chapter 574: Wood
"By the way, where are we chasing?"
After chasing down the figure that appeared to be the Hand of Death, Cheruth and Grey Wind stood in the unfamiliar woods, surveying their surroundings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
β...... It's not too far from the Night Elf village. β
"Yes......"
I always feel that even though it was only a short time when they were chasing just now, their speed was almost at full speed......
Cheruth was a little worried, but Grey Wind seemed very calm, and the little disappointment on his face that had lost his opponent disappeared, and Grey Wind moved his nose and turned around.
"It's good to go back the way you came, I can smell the smell of Xiaobai when he came. β
β...... Although I know that you have a good sense of smell, Sister Gray Wind, but the kind of saying that people seem to be exuding a peculiar smell that will contaminate the surrounding environment at any time, if possible, don't use spicy ......."
Grey Wind looked at Cheruth in bewilderment.
"Xiaobai smells good. β
"Uh, oh...... This, that's it......"
Why, why do you suddenly feel a little embarrassed inexplicably...... Cheruth looked away from Grey Wind, and scratched her face with a pure gaze that didn't mean anything else at all.
βοΌβ
"Alright, alright, since we can find our way back, let's go, Sister Grey Wind. β
"Hmm. β
Just as the two of them were about to turn back, suddenly, there was a clear sound of agitation and roaring from the nearby woods.
Fallen Monsters?
Cheruth and Grey Wind immediately stopped and waited, and in less than a few seconds, they saw several depraved demonic beasts like leopards with strange heads growing out of the bushes not far to their left, and when they saw the two of them, they immediately opened their big scarlet mouths and rushed over.
The two of them were just about to take out these monsters that they were looking for death for, when they suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice from the bushes behind the leopards.
"Two little girls, please be careful!"
A wave of earth-based mana instantly spread along the ground to the feet of the two Cheruth, and immediately after, an earthy yellow transparent wall-like enchantment instantly rose up, blocking several monsters that pounced and bounced out.
Immediately after, a figure flew out of the bushes, and instantly swept past the fallen demonic beasts struggling in the air at a speed that was not inferior to the Cheruth who used double acceleration, and the light of the wind blade condensed by the cyan pure wind magic flashed, and in an instant, those fallen demonic beasts were cut off one after another, and the dark red filthy blood was suddenly sprinkled on the ground.
The visitor was dressed in navy blue tights, with metal armor tied to his arms and legs, as well as some protective armor on his chest and waist. There was no special armor on the top of his head, only a short black hair, a somewhat cold and vicious look, and the lower part of his face was covered with a face towel of the same color as his bodysuit.
After cleanly killing a few Fallen Beasts, the unknown thief did not retract the wind blades that had condensed and extended from the armor on his hands, but stood in place, did not speak, and continued to look at the sisters standing in the earthy yellow barrier with those somewhat ferocious eyes.
Although it seemed that the other party was a human and killed the Fallen Demon Beast that wanted to attack them, for some reason, even Cheruth, who was not as intuitive as Gray Wind, clearly sensed the war intent against the two of them from the person in front of himβno, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it hostility.
The magic wind blade that had just neatly cut the bodies of the fallen demonic beasts began to make a somewhat penetrating sound again, and on the other side, the gray wind that subconsciously protected Cheruth behind him after seeing the person who came also lowered the center of gravity of his body, and a dangerous light flashed in his heterochromatic pupils.
However, at the moment when the aura of the two sides collided violently and was about to erupt, a person who interrupted all this finally appeared.
"Rest quiet, Mr. Wood, these two are not enemies. β
The seventh-order magician who had a relationship with Cheruth and the others in the village yesterday, and was later identified by Getajielis as a human-faced beast-hearted hypocrite, the Great Satyr, and the wolf, Laiali walked out of the woods and looked at Cheruth and the others with a kind and polite smile on her fat face.
"Misses, are you all right? Don't worry, this Mr. Wood is the bodyguard I hired for safety in Moon Valley, and he won't hurt you. β
Grey Wind didn't let her guard down on the assassin named Wood in front of her because of Layari's words, and she clearly felt that the hostility of the other party had not disappeared because of Layari's presence at all, at most it had only restrained a little. Therefore, Sister Wolf continued to be wary of Wood's every move, completely deaf to Layali's words, and dealing with such a troublesome thing as a guy who didn't know whether it was true or not, Sister Wolf said that it was enough to hand it over to her delicate sister.
"Ah, you are...... Yesterday's ......"
Sure enough, Cherus, who was standing behind Gray Wind, spoke in time, although she had heard about Laiali's complaints from Gettajieris, but the wolf girl's tone and expression at this moment could not see that she had any superficial ill feelings towards Laiali.
"It's nice to remember me, sweet little girl, we met yesterday, but it's a pity that Miss Gettageris misunderstood me at that time, so I couldn't introduce myself in the end, my name is Layali, and I'm an earth mage who is good at sealing magic, I don't know what the names of the two are?"
Laiali said very kindly, just like the harmless smile on his face now, this seventh-order powerhouse behaved very kindly and without a little arrogance, if the two of them hadn't heard from Gertageris about what this guy had done to Gertageris before they came, maybe even a shrewd as Chesse would not have any ill feelings towards him.
"My name is Cheruth, and this is my sister Grey Wind, both of us are from the Northland Wolf Clan, but now we are studying at the Lorris National Academy, so we can be regarded as the former senior sister of Sister Getajielis. β
Cheruth smiled, revealing that most of her personal information was faked.
"Actually, after we met yesterday, Senior Sister Getajielisi told us something about Master Lyali, and the Seven Star Sage is really very admirable...... However, since even Master Layali said that this Mr. Wood here is your bodyguard, compared to this Mr. Wood, he must be a seventh-order powerhouse, right?"
Layali's fat face froze slightly, as if he didn't expect Chelus to shift the topic to Wood, who had been silent on the side, so easily, and it seemed that he didn't expect Chelus to be interested in Wood, but soon Lyari continued to speak kindly.
"Haha, if it's really like Miss Cheruth you said that one day I can hire a seventh-order powerhouse to be my bodyguard, then I really want to give it a try," Layley smiled and looked at Wood, "However, although Mr. Wood has not advanced to the law powerhouse for the time being, many times it is not only the simple magic strength that can threaten people's lives, and in this regard, Mr. Wood is much more powerful than me." Anyway, why are you two here? There were a lot of Fallen Demonic Beasts like the one just now attacking the village, and now the periphery of the village is very dangerous, so it's better for you two to hurry back. β
Cheruth narrowed her eyes, this Layley really seemed to be as good as Gettageris said, so she changed the subject casually......
"That's true, thank you Master Lyali for your concern, in fact, we just did our best to help the night elves guard the village, chasing down a few escaped monsters to come here, Master Lyali and this ...... Mr. Wood, too?"
"I see, I really deserve to be a student from that prestigious college, and Miss Cheruth is indeed as powerful and righteous as Miss Gettajielis. Hehe, you're right, in fact, we're also helping to repel the fallen monsters, but it seems that the monsters you're chasing seem to have escaped quite far, Miss Cheruth. β
"Oh?"
"This morning, the Fallen Demon Beast attacked the two gates on the west side of the Night Elf Village, this is near the gate on the southwest side, I have been here to help guard before, but I didn't see the two, I must have chased them all the way from the gate on the northwest side. β
Since she had joined the battle directly after following Gertageris all the way to the edge of the village in the morning, Chelus really didn't know about it, so when she thought about it, it seemed that they had been chasing the shadow of the suspected Hand of Death just now......
As if to verify Leiria's words, a small group of Night Elf warriors and mages came out of the woods less than a moment after he spoke.
"Master Leiria, how is it on your side...... Lord Cheruth?"
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the two team leaders were acquaintances of Cheruth, and it was Daniyat, the night elf liaison officer who was in charge of receiving Cheruth and them yesterday, and the other was the night elf patrol leader Afalia, who had tried his best to prevent them from entering the valley yesterday at the mouth of the valley because of the orders of the night elf elders.
It seems that Laiali is not lying, Cheruth smiled at Daniate and Alfaria who came over, but thought to herself, because the timing of the appearance of the two of them was a little delicate, and just now she was actually quite skeptical that the two of them would have something to do with the back of the Grim Reaper's Hand that they were chasing before, but it seemed that she was too worried...... bar.
"Lord Cheruth, Lord Greywind, why are you two here?"
"Ahaha, to put it simply, we were helping out at the Northwest Gate before, but we accidentally chased here in order to chase a few escaped monsters. β
"I see," Tanya nodded, showing a grateful expression, "Originally, we were a little worried about the situation at the Northwest Gate, and we were worried that there were not enough manpower over there, but since Lord Cheruth, Lord Grey Wind and all of your esteemed friends are all over there to help, presumably the battle situation should not be something we need to worry about anymore, and on behalf of the Night Elves, I thank you for your help, Lord Cheruth." β
"Please don't be so polite, defend against the evil from the ancients, this is what every one of the people of the Order should do...... Well, it's been a bit long since we chased it out, and if we don't go back, I'm afraid my friends will be worried, so please allow me and Sister Gray Wind to lose company first. β
Because of the arrival of Daniyat and the others, Chelus didn't have much chance to chat with Layali anymore, and because Layali didn't seem to have anything to do with the black shadow before, the wolf girl also lost the interest in playing clichΓ©s with this fat guy who might be a well-dressed beast, and after a simple farewell, Chelus turned around with Gray Wind and returned the same way she came.
After walking some distance, Greywind slowly spoke.
β...... Cheruth, the guy called Wood, has a problem. β
Cheruth turned her head to look at Grey Wind.
"His hostility, is it true...... At that moment, he really had the intention of attacking us. β
"Well, I can feel it more or less," said Chelus, shrugging her shoulders, "but we have no evidence, and we don't know why." β
Grey Wind was silent, which was why she didn't tell Cheruth in the way of transmission just now, but after leaving, even if she told Cheruth at the time, they couldn't ask each other the reason in front of the Night Elves. After all, Getajelis said that that Laiali relied on helping to repair the enchantment, but she had a lot of favorability on the side of the Night Elves, and they had just arrived, even if they had the name of Cheruth and the dragon clan behind Grey Wind to rely on, it was not a good idea to directly fight that Leilia publicly.
The sisters remained silent, and soon returned to the northwest gate, where the battle was almost over.
-----
---
Southwest Gate.
Like on Cheruth's side, the battle here has also ended due to the activity of a large number of Night Elf masters and Lyali, a seventh-order mage.
After bidding farewell to the Night Elf Elder who had commanded the battle here, Lyali left the outskirts of the village with his bodyguard, Wood, and returned to the guest house that the Night Elves had prepared for him in the village.
Walking into the house, Laiali did not sit down, but stood at the door and looked at Wood beside him, but Wood, very casually, walked into the room and sat on a chair, looked at Laiali, who seemed to have something to say, and finally raised his hand a little impatiently, and laid a mute magic on the outside of the room.
"Okay, let's talk about something. β
β...... Lord Wood, I didn't mean to offend you, but today ...... You're a little careless. β
Obviously, Wood is Laiali's bodyguard who claims to be the public, but if you see this scene now, no one will definitely think so, at the moment when the two are alone, Wood obviously has an absolute status advantage in the face of Laiali.
β...... Hmph, not careful? I'm restrained enough, otherwise, I wouldn't have let that stinky girl and her demon wolf sister go back alive. β
