Chapter 31: So when doing quests, be sure to look for NPCs

From the moment countless vines first appeared in the forest, Garnes knew that his opportunity had come.

It doesn't matter how the vines appeared, what matters is that the lovely greenery is attacking the enemies outside the valley at the moment.

Garnes, who could see that the other party's mercenary group had fallen into a real chaos, decisively asked the Silver Wing Commander to give the order for everyone to break through, Hailan rushed out as soon as possible, attracting the attention of the other party's sage Tucker, and began to conduct a spell duel in mid-air, while the others shouted and rushed towards the Black Tiger Mercenary Group that was messing around outside the valley.

Although he relied on Tucker's large-scale fiery magic to temporarily get rid of the entanglement of the vines, the Black Tiger Regiment, which was already in disarray, had already lost to the menacing Silver Wing Regiment in terms of momentum. Despite the armaments and weapons that Prince Naris had smuggled from within the Kingdom of Lorris, the Black Tiger Regiment was still able to tear a large gap in the front half of the encirclement by the vanguard of the Silver Wings in a single face.

Just when the leader of the Black Tiger Regiment, that is, the former villain Count Carter of the Lorris Kingdom, roared angrily and told his subordinates to quickly regroup and not let the other party go, those annoying vines ran out again, and to the horror of Carter and his Black Tiger Regiment, these vines ignored the existence of the Silver Wing Regiment at all and only launched an attack on the Black Tiger mercenaries.

At this moment, even Hailan, who was fighting spells with Tucker, was terrified.

Could it be that there is a sage who is proficient in life magic hidden on the side of the eldest prince without his knowledge?

Garnes was also puzzled in his heart, but now was not the time to delve into it, after confirming that these vines were not hostile to them, Garnes directly told the Silver Wing Commander not to fall in love with the battle, and to quickly break out under the cover of these vines, only if they were safe, so that Master Hailan could break out by himself without worries.

What made him desperate was that sure enough, Master Hailan alone still couldn't resist two opponents of the same level for a long time, and after taking a few spells of magic that was not powerful enough to break through the defense with an amazing defense, the mountain-like figure of the thunder-horned giant rhinoceros stopped in front of the group that broke through.

Is that the end of it?

Just as Garnes was pondering whether to make one last struggle, go out to attract the attention of the other party, and then ask the Silverwing Captain to take Eders out to give an explanation to the Duke of Mana, the ground suddenly and slowly shook, unlike the vibration caused by the giant rhino stepping on the ground, this time the tremor was small but lasted for a long time.

Due to his lack of visibility in the forest, Garnes, who had only heard the sounds of the soldiers intersecting around him, suddenly dimmed, replaced by bursts of incomprehensible exclamations. Immediately after, a green shadow flashed, and the thunder-horned giant rhinoceros in front of them trembled, and then turned his head and let out a thunderous roar in a completely different direction from them.

"God, Miracles......"

Next to Garnes, Edus, who had been dragged by him to break through together, suddenly stammered, Garnes followed his gaze, and through the layers of trees, he finally saw the huge green plant puppet.

Is that really here to save yourself?

The sage of the life department, except for the elven race who generally does not interfere with the human struggle on the main road, Garnes did not think for a while that there had been such a terrible figure among the human countries in recent decades, could it really be that some passing elven sage was helping him?

The battle between the giant rhino and the plant puppet was not as fierce as Garnes and the others imagined, but only a few rounds, and for some reason, the thunder-horned giant rhinoceros was attracted by the plant puppet and completely entangled with vines, and completely made way for the final blockade for Garnes and others.

Rumble!

From behind, there was an incomparably strong magic fluctuation, and the magic energy of the water and fire systems constantly collided and clashed in mid-air, causing violent explosions, and in the roar of the spell, the voice of Master Hailan, who had been amplified by magic, reached the ears of everyone who broke through without hindrance.

"Your Highness, leave now!"

The eldest prince of the kingdom of Loris is known as a virtuous man, and as the only son of the eldest prince, Garnes also has the potential to become an excellent king, including instability and decisiveness.

"Let's rush together!"

It was a slogan commonly used in the offensive but was used to motivate the escape, but at this time, no one found Garnes's wording strange or funny, and everyone tried their best to move forward, even the aristocratic son Eders also took out twelve points of strength, and with the support of Garnes, he struggled to move his legs forward without knowing how many times he had already softened.

Perhaps it was the mysterious helper behind the scenes who had no time to care about anything else in order to be able to use the plant giant to entangle the Thunderhorn Giant Rhino - and that was exactly what it was - Garnes clearly felt that the vines around him had gradually lost their vitality and no longer attacked the Black Tiger Mercenary Group like living creatures, relying on the superiority in numbers, the Black Tiger re-formed a posture of encirclement against Silver Wing.

The traitor Earl Carter, who was driven out of the kingdom of Lorris, obviously had some brains, and seeing that Black Tiger was superior in quantity and Silver Wing was superior in quality, he did not rush to urge his subordinates to attack and encircle, but kept mobilizing all his forces here while deploying the largest number of men in the direction of the outer forest.

Do you continue to break through in the direction of the outer part of the forest where there is the greatest resistance, or do you want to break through the inner forest in the opposite direction...... Garnes was a little annoyed to find that he was not confident in either option.

However, at this moment, suddenly behind the Black Tiger Mercenary Group on the side, there was a sudden sound like something exploding, and then, countless small wind blades were mixed with a little frost, like a small storm, devouring more than a dozen mercenaries, making them lie on the ground covered in blood and unconscious in the blink of an eye.

"Brother, this way!"

Garnes' eyes widened at the familiar voice, and he turned his head in disbelief, almost in disbelief, at the blue-haired girl who was sitting on a gray wolf the size of a leopard, waving at him as she nimbly weaved around the perimeter of the mercenary group for the mount to attack.

Is it really you, are you really all right, my dear sister.

---

Lucy is an earth-based magician, but she prefers to delve into magic rather than magical talent, and because of this, she has no strength in her earth-based magic, but she has managed to craft her own battle magician, which she calls the "Star Spirit Key".

Hawkers,In fact, the star spirit or something,It's just the main character on a fairy tale book that she used to read when she was a child, I don't know which era and which nation in the mainland.,Because it's a fairy tale book that Lucy's long-deceased mother used to tell her stories every day when she was a child.,So when Lucy was making the magic guide.,Unknowingly, she added the setting in this fairy tale book that she had turned over.。

Thankfully, although the "incantation" she shouted every time she used the magic guide to fight was a little bit of a middle two, this magic guide key - let's call it - really played a huge role in actual combat because of the creator's extraordinary talent in magic guide technology.

In every fairy tale of the so-called star spirits, Lucy has set a kind of magic for them very vividly, and her magic key body is a tool that can quickly cast a few fixed magics, of course, these magic can be regarded as high-level magic according to the grade, not the kind of comic magic that makes up the number.

"Open it, the gate of the Taurus Palace, Talos!"

Lucy chanted a unique "incantation" and poked out a key-shaped magic guide in advance, circles of magic runes flashed around the key, and a magic circle that looked like a door appeared on the ground in front of her out of thin air, and then a powerful earth golem with a huge battle axe emerged from the ground.

"Get rid of these miscellaneous soldiers for me!"

Under Lucy's order, the minotaur puppet swung a big axe, and in three or two clicks, the mercenaries of the Black Tiger Regiment who surrounded them were severely damaged, and even flew out like large garbage.

"Harpy, are you sure it's going in this direction?"

Lucy asked aloud as she looked up, and Harpy nodded firmly in mid-air as she dodged the occasional sporadic arrows and elementary spells that flew up.

"That's right, I saw Sekaria and Grey Wind meeting up with the people who broke through and are heading here!"

"Okay!"

Lucy flicked the soft whip in her hand and gave a few lashes to the heads of the mercenaries who had been knocked to the ground by her minotaur puppet, so that they would faint completely, and then shouted to her teammates.

"Natsu, Gray, Elusa, all work hard for me, we are also the strongest team of the Demon Tail Guild, don't let people look down on you!"

It was Natsu's flaming fist that brought a flash of fire to her.

It is not unfounded to be called the strongest squad...... Gray, who was born with the dual main magic of water and wind and created his own ice-type magic, Elusa who possessed the purple elite fighting spirit before the age of twenty and had a pair of magic armor that could switch between various powerful buff magic effects on her, and Natsu, who possessed the fire magic power and the extremely precious dual mutant fighting energy.

Dou Qi is derived from the spiritual energy of atomic life energy, and unlike magic energy, spiritual energy does not easily show characteristics that are biased towards one of the four elements, so the change of Dou Qi is far less than that of magic.

However, there are exceptions.

Mutation vindictiveness, specifically, is divided into mimic mutation and attribute mutation. The mimic mutation Dou Qi can simulate the form of a specific thing according to the characteristics of the master, and the attribute mutation Dou Qi is even more special, which can make the Dou Qi and magic reflect a certain attribute.

Although in the squad, Natsu is recognized as an existence like a gas bag, but several people know very well in their hearts that this teenager, who is usually a little cowardly and always bullied by the captain Lucy, is the strongest in the real union.

Fire Dragon Fighting Qi - Fire Attribute Dragon Shape Mimic Double Mutation Fighting Qi, if it weren't for Natsu himself because he was an orphan since he was a child and had not undergone special learning and his personality was like that, I'm afraid he would have already become a genius boy who was well-known in a certain region.

"Eldest sister, obviously said that we were just feints, right? Why is it now that we want to attack the periphery of the Black Tiger Regiment's encirclement head-on to welcome them to break through?"

Natsu, who had an imposing fire dragon form fighting aura on his body and two flame magic bullets burning in his hands, but still had a little deterrent look on his face, asked.

"Less nonsense, you think I want to. ”

Lucy slapped Natsu back and covered Elusa who was letting go of the crowd with Gray, while she took the time to look up at the vine giant who was trapping the Thunderhorn Giant Rhino with vines not far away.

“…… That's right, as long as you have enough strength, we will do our best. ”

When did you become enthusiastic because of an employer who had never known your life, and sure enough, as your business father said, you are not actually suitable to be a mercenary, right?

But...... Even a little girl can face that kind of monster, and the old lady and her teammates can't be cowardly at such a time.

"Little girl Cheruth, you can take a good look, if you don't give us a decent extra reward in the end, the old lady will not spare you. ”

Lucy muttered, brandishing her whip and joining the fray.

And by the time Lucy knew that she had found the wrong person, Sekaria, who was the one who could reward them, it was already after the battle.
