Chapter 202: The Nolan Clan Who Lie on the Gun?
"Chief Qiu, you're getting out of here?"
Hearing Grey Wind's question, the Minotaur Chief nodded helplessly.
"Well, the decision made by the elders of the clan when they got together just now, if we stay here any longer, I don't know when those crazy attackers will come back again, and our current combat strength is no longer enough to resist the kind of attack we had before. Everyone in the tribe is now packing up, and we plan to take shelter around the nearby human trading town for a while, after hearing from Miss Raphael that the Solan Cult has begun to send a survey team here, and when the matter is resolved, we will return here to rebuild our home. ”
It was a heavy blow to the Minotaurs to leave the home they had carved out for their ancestors in this great desert, and if it weren't for the fact that the situation within the Sural tribe had already deteriorated to a certain extent, the Minotaurs would not have made such a decision so quickly.
But that's fine, after all, the Minotaurs have been friendly with the nearby humans for generations, and the human towns are also more convenient to find the Light Sacrifice, and more importantly, if the Minotaurs decide to go to the nearby towns, the other members of the Loris team can also leave with them, and Grey Wind can safely set off to find the Celestial Ones.
Just as Grey Wind and the others digested the news they had heard from Qiu En, there was a knock on the door outside, and then a young minotaur warrior opened the door and entered the house in a bit of a hurry.
"Chief, an approaching sand boat has been spotted outside the village, and Captain Karl has asked me to report to you quickly. ”
Because the village is now lacking in combat power, the bull-headed people are also a bit of a soldier.
"How big is a sand boat, and is it an accomplice of those human mercenaries?"
Qiu En asked with a frown, the minotaur warrior who came in scratched his head.
"When I set off, I just found the sand boat on the outer wall, and the exact situation is not very clear, but it looks like it is only a small sand boat. ”
Qiu En's expression softened a little, the small sand boat could only carry four or five people, even if the enemy attacked, there was nothing to fear.
Gray Wind also heard their conversation on the side, and it just so happened that she also wanted to talk to her friends about the next arrangements, so she spoke.
"Chief Qiu, we don't have anything to do here, if there's something urgent, you can deal with it first. ”
Qiu En nodded to Grey Wind, then turned and strode out of the house with the Minotaur who had come to report the news, towards the outer wall of the village.
In the house, after Gray Wind saw Qiu En away, he turned his head to look at the friends behind him.
"So, when the Sural tribe is ready to go, you can also follow back to the nearby town, and there is a ...... between me and Cheruth The secret methods of the wolf clan can be connected to each other, and I can go to her myself and bring her back. ”
Although everyone in the Loris team had complicated expressions, they had no objections, after all, there was a wounded person like Ji Xiangtian among them, and Sakura and the three of them realized their current strength and mentality in the battle just now, even if they kept up, they could only become a burden, and Xiao Lori Yiping wanted to say that she could also contribute, but she was pressed down by Ji Xiangtian with his hand on the stupid hair on the top of his head.
Only Raphael, a temporary member, spoke with a smile.
"Gray Wind Sauce, let me go with you, okay?"
Gray Wind frowned, this natural fool seemed to like Yi Ping's name for her, especially every time she spoke to Gray Wind, there was a feeling of a big sister treating a little pot friend, which made Gray Wind always inadvertently a little angry when talking to her.
"Cheruth and they have lured away a lot of enemies as bait, and the road will be very dangerous......"
Not very tactful at speaking like Cherus, Grey Wind simply said only half of the words, apparently everyone understood that Grey Wind felt that Raphael's side profession was too dangerous to follow, and that it was likely to become a burden.
But the sacrificial maiden still smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay, although the light sacrifice doesn't have too much attack magic, but I can protect myself!And although I still haven't figured out whether it's a curse or something else, but at least I can be sure that as long as the injury is not long, my Great Purification Technique can completely force this degraded root of destructive desire out of the human body~"
Looking at Raphael with a face of "Bring me, bring me, I'm very useful~", Gray Wind suddenly had a headache. She really didn't want to bring this natural nerd with her, not to mention it for the time being, having this guy from the Cult of God was quite a disadvantage for Cheruth to hide her identity, but what Raphael said was exactly what she was worried about.
Naturally, Echeruth is not afraid of those fallen mercenaries, but the problem lies in the quality of this weird curse that can be contaminated once it is injured. Grey Wind knew very well that Cheruth's melee ability was not very strong, and it was difficult for Cheruth to fight with all her strength while not being hurt by the other party when surrounded by many people. Therefore, it is very reliable to bring Raphael, a light sacrifice who has been proven capable of dealing with this curse, in this rescue...... As long as she doesn't have that troublesome cult identity.
The others who were listening to the conversation between the two men apparently also felt that Raphael's words were very reasonable, and Ji Xiangtian, who was a wounded man, also spoke.
"Raphael has a point, Grey Wind...... Sister," Sister Gui, who was only one year older than Cheruth and Sakura and the others, hesitated for a moment, and still adopted the same title as Cheruth and the others a little awkwardly, "There is no major problem with my injury, it is enough to have the hydrotherapy technique of Zhishi, the curse on those fallen guys is very dangerous, and Raphael can also prevent some accidents." ”
Gray Feng pursed his lips, thinking about Raphael's confused nature, and finally nodded, anyway, it seems that Xiaobai fooled this sacrificial little girl to death, as long as he passed on the message to Xiaobai in advance and asked her to pay attention when she met, there should be no problem.
Next, after Gray Wind explained in a few words that the rest of the people must pay attention to the rest of the town after returning to the town with the Minotaur clan and not to walk around, there is nothing more to say, sit aside and begin to close her eyes and recuperate, after all, Sister Wolf is not iron, and after a night of watching, she participated in another battle, and Sister Wolf also felt that she had to hurry up and recuperate, after all, when she went to pick up Chelus, she said that there would be a fierce battle when she went to pick up Chelus.
The others didn't bother Gray Wind to rest, because there was nothing to do for the time being, everyone was gathered in the hall inside the house, and in order not to affect the rest of Gray Wind, they were chatting quietly and killing time.
It didn't take long for the door to be knocked open again, and to the confusion of Gray Wind and the others who opened their eyes, Qiu En's face seemed to be a much lighter smile than before, and behind the tall figure of the Minotaur Chieftain, several humans like them walked in right after.
Well, how to put it, it's really "the same" in all kinds of senses...... There were three humans who came in behind Qiu, one of them was an uncle who looked a little fierce and looked cold, and the other two were cute girls who looked older than Sakura and Cheruth and seemed to be about the same age as Raphael.
"Uh, Chief Qiuen?"
"Everyone, please allow me to introduce, these three are the core elite members of the group from the Wanderer Mercenary Group, this is the captain of the team, Miss Xingxi, these are the members of the Loris Academy team who received the initial task and helped us a lot, the brave wolf girl I mentioned about who led away the enemy regardless of her own danger is the captain of this team. ”
Among the three newcomers, a girl in a long black skirt standing in the middle walked out and simply glanced around the people in the room...... Then he bowed his head slightly and spoke politely.
"I'm Xingxi, the leader of the elite combat squad of the Wanderer Mercenary Group, please advise. ”

To tell the truth, regarding this mission, although it was personally given to the three of them by the Grand Elder of the Nolan Clan, Xingxi and the other three were actually not very reluctant to accept it at first.
According to the Great Elder, there is a hidden thousand-year-old temple on the edge of the southwest desert, where a god who was active in the battle of gods and demons in ancient times finally rests forever, but unfortunately, this god who has made outstanding contributions to the continent in the war was severely injured by the abominable demons in the final battle, and even the only remaining broken godhead was tainted with the breath of demons. Because one of the most terrifying abilities of demons is the power to assimilate other beings into beings as depraved as them, in order to prevent his godhead from being completely polluted by those demons and used for evil after his death, the god himself sealed his broken godhead in his grave so that the demonic aura on it would not cause any terrible incidents.
Originally, the seal has been very strong, but I never thought that some time ago, this lost temple was inadvertently discovered by a group of mercenaries, and even this group of mercenaries went in to explore without knowing whether they were alive or dead, but they didn't know what happened in the temple, the seal of the gods was actually unlocked, and the broken godhead that was contaminated with demonic breath and had become a depraved thing in the thousand-year seal was even fused into his body by one of the mercenaries, if he didn't kill this mercenary who fused with the demonic godhead in time, he was likely to become a terrifying existence like the great demons who could compete with the gods thousands of years ago。
The reason why the Nolan clan took out this mission is also very simple, the so-called broken godhead is actually an incomplete fragment of the law, and the god-given ability of the Nolan clan is, to put it bluntly, born with some kind of law. Originally, the Nolan clan was slandered as demon descendants when they were exterminated by the Solan Divine Cult, if this time because of a polluted fragment of the law caused a major incident of the reappearance of demons that had disappeared on the road for thousands of years, then as long as the Solan Divine Cult disclosed the truth of the incident a little out of context and then guided it in public opinion, it was entirely possible to put the "Nolan clan is a demon descendant" that was just empty back then 's charges have been confirmed, and even if the Nolan clan succeeds in revenge, it will only be able to become a public enemy of the mainland and continue to survive.
Originally, it had nothing to do with the Nolan family, but they had to come out to clean up the situation, otherwise it would be true, which could be regarded as an alternative lying gun.
