Chapter 5: The Alchemist
"It's ......"
In the face of the sudden change, Siss, who was a little stunned, had not come back to her senses, and with a "boom!", another loud bang shook the land of Ace Grassland. Not far from the first explosion, another red flame lit up, and two extremely ferocious flames turned into one, but before they could spread around, "boom" "boom" "boom" "boom",
"Not good!"
"Burned at us!"
"What is this for?"
Originally, it seemed that the Red Moon wolf pack was burned by this sudden fire and screamed miserably, and the mercenaries who scattered and fled were cheering excitedly, but suddenly their faces changed dramatically and they found that according to this momentum, they who were in the middle of the wolf pack would soon be engulfed by the sea of fire!
"This means ......"
Karis, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out the window, his eyes moved slightly, and then closed his eyes.
Ciss's face turned a little pale, but she was able to keep her composure, she believed that things should not be so simple, and the person who set this fire should not be trying to kill them.
"Stop arguing!"
Looking at the messy subordinates next to him, Sith scolded.
"But, miss......"
"Wait, look!"
At this moment, a mercenary suddenly pointed not far away in surprise. There, the flames that should have been like bamboos and straight into them came to them, and they automatically split to both sides as if they had eyes, and bypassed them!
"This ......"
The mercenaries stared wide-eyed, and no one could figure out what was going on.
"I see. Sith's eyes lit up, she already knew what was going on!
"Look! there's someone there!"
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed mercenary pointed to a raised hill in the distance to the east and said loudly, and everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it.
Although the distance is far, after all, these mercenaries are all people with some skills, and with the help of the bright moonlight and the fire that has not yet been extinguished, they can still see that vague shadow, as if ...... It's getting farther and farther away!
"He's leaving!" everyone looked at Sith in unison, waiting for the chief's order.
If you want to talk about mercenaries, they should be regarded as a group of people who are quite affectionate on the mainland, after all, they are accompanied by blood and wine all day long, their heads are pinned to the waistband of their trousers, and they are still chatting and farting with each other today, and they will not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow. They have always taken kindness or something very seriously, not to mention that this is still a life-saving grace, so ......
"Third brother, you take a few people with me, and the others, protect the employer and the goods to prevent the wolves from gathering again!"
Sith didn't hesitate, waved her hand, and chased the mustachioed mercenary and a few other brothers in the direction of Curry.
......
A red moon wolf that was still smoking fell to the ground and swallowed its last breath. Not far from it, there were many others of the same kind who had already extinguished their smoke, and this small part of the Ace Prairie was littered with the charred corpses of wolves.
"No matter how powerful a beast is, it is only a beast after all, and it is the nature of all beasts to be afraid of fire. ”
Looking at the wolf corpse at the feet of the old earth dragon, there was no fluctuation in Ke Rui's eyes. He didn't think he was too cruel or anything. The number of Red Moon wolves has reached the point where they can break out into a wolf tide, which is abnormal in itself, and doing so yourself can be regarded as helping them return to normal, and don't look at the heavy losses of the wolves this time, with their breeding rate, they can fully recover in a few years, even more than now.
Moreover, there is another reason that no one knows, which makes Ke Rui subconsciously feel uncomfortable with beast tides like wolf tides from the bottom of his heart, so he will not hesitate at all.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ke Rui turned his head to look behind him, and at the same time patted the neck of the old earth dragon to signal it to stop, and his eyebrows lifted slightly:
"It's really coming. ”
Although I had expected it, but I had gone so far and I didn't show any intention of meeting at all, the other party still caught up with me so reluctantly, and at this moment I had a more detailed understanding of the mercenary's creature Ke Rui, and I don't know if I will get into trouble because of this in the future.
"No, it seems that there is already trouble. ”
The corners of Curry's eyes, who saw the leader of those mercenaries, twitched from afar, and with his countless eyes, he could see at once that Sith was definitely the most difficult type of guy, although it was not difficult for him to deal with, but it was still troublesome after all.
Although Curry already had the idea of turning around and leaving quickly, it was obviously too late, and Sith and a few other mercenaries came to him immediately.
Looking at this mysterious man sitting on a giant earth-walking dragon beast and wearing a magic cloak and covering his head with a big hood, Ice's heart decisively decided that this was the person who set fire to save them, and quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully and said loudly:
"The junior is the young leader of the Red Maple Mercenary Regiment, Sith Ransende, thank you for your rescue!"
"Ransende?"
Who knows, after Sith reported to his home, Ke Rui was suddenly stunned, looked at Siss, and his eyes narrowed slightly:
"You just said your last name is Lansende?"
"Yes...... What's wrong?" Siss frowned, and at the same time her heart moved: "What a young voice!"
"It's nothing, I just think your last name is similar to someone's name. ”
"Who's the same name as someone?"
"Leader of the Mercenary Alliance's 'Flaming Fang Mercenary Regiment'...... At the same time, he is also one of the three mercenary kings of the mainland, the 'Earth Spirits Mercenary King' - Sunderland!"
Ke Rui's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a wolf at this moment, but the smile on the corner of his mouth still did not change, and a person who was originally quite gentle came out of thin air with a strange sense of depth, as if he had unconsciously removed some kind of disguise!
But in a split second, Curry returned to normal, and no one saw the change in him because of the hood.
"Captain Sunderland?"
"Say what?"
Several of the mercenaries who had come with Sith looked at each other at Korry's words, not understanding what he was talking about. Of course they knew, but it was a god-like existence in the mercenary world, what did it have to do with these little mercenaries?
Only the mustachioed mercenary known as the third brother changed his face slightly, and his eyes looked at Sith without blinking, as if he was worried about something.
Siss, on the other hand, shrank her pupils, and immediately laughed, shrugging as if she had heard some joke, "What are you talking about......?
"It's stupid. ”
Ke Rui also took over the conversation and shook his head and smiled, "If it is really someone who has something to do with the Earth Lie King, how can he be besieged by the wolf tide, I have read too many books, and I am dizzy from reading." ”
"Hahaha......" A few mercenaries who didn't know why laughed together, and the atmosphere that was originally wrong suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Senior ......"
"I'm just a traveling merchant, but I can't afford to be a senior, so Captain Sisi just needs to call me Ke Rui. As he spoke, Curry reached out and lifted his hood, revealing his face.
"Huh?"
Looking at a pair of blue eyes with a little vicissitudes on Curry's white face, Ciss was stunned for a moment, and then glared:
"What, you're not much older than me...... No, it's not older than me at all!"
"I didn't say how old I am, you called me a senior as soon as you came. Curry still seemed innocent, as if he was the one who had taken advantage of him.
“......”
“......”
“......”
Looking at Sith's rare pretty face that turned red because of embarrassment, all the mercenaries secretly exclaimed in their hearts, and at the same time quietly gave Ke Rui a thumbs up: It is amazing to be able to take advantage of this young lady in the first round of meeting!
"By the way, you just said ...... Are you a traveling merchant?" Suddenly, Sith noticed a detail, she looked at Curry with suspicion, and clasped her hands to her chest:
"But the fire just now, that kind of means, is obviously ......"
There is only one way to achieve a certain degree of control over such a large area of flames in the situation just now, and that is ......
