Chapter Twenty-Six: The Strange Boy

With the last few low thunderstorms from the sky, the long-lasting heavy rain finally stopped. This large-scale rainfall has caused a lot of inconvenience to the people living in this area, and there have even been a lot of losses and disasters.

Of course, it is not only humans who have suffered from this rain, but also the animals and plants that are also alive in nature. The morning sun gradually rose in the sky, and the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, dispelling the cold and dampness that had been enveloping the land. Under the sun, the thriving scene of everything rejuvenating brings the mountain range called Vincent back to life.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the mountains, and it was the first carriage to cross the Vincent Mountains today. There were two people sitting in the carriage, the older of whom was a merchant who had been running for a living for many years, and now his carriage was full of a cart full of good and cheap goods, and he was about to go to Vannal Town to sell it for a good price. The other was a young boy, estimated to be about ten years old, who had come out with his father to learn the way of business.

"Daddy, Daddy, the heavy rain of the other day was so hateful, it trapped us in the village for days and couldn't get out, and we stayed in the hotel all day, and we were about to suffocate me!" the little boy joked about the heavy rain that he hated so much, and he felt that the rain was deliberately against him.

"Hahaha...... Yes, son, this heavy rain has delayed us for a long time, so we have to set out early in the morning to make up for the time wasted in the hotel. The older man happily mingled with his children.

"Then, then we set off so early, not afraid of meeting bad guys. Although the young boy has little experience as a running businessman, the concerns he raised are the ones that most businessmen who run business need to consider.

"You're right to be worried. If you get up early to travel elsewhere, you will have to risk a lot of uncertainties and risks, but now that we are the official road of Vannal, we can rest assured. More than twenty years ago, the lords of Vannar paid great attention to ensuring the smooth and safe passage of trade. The town regularly allocates funds to repair roads, and often sends officials and soldiers to clean up the law and order in its jurisdiction, so ordinary thieves and rogues will not easily choose Vannal's official roads. The father was very pleased with the boy's questions and carefully explained the common sense he had accumulated over the years as a businessman.

"And who is that strange man standing in the middle of the road?" asked the little boy, pointing ahead with an excited expression.

"Ahead?" the father's eyesight was obviously not as good as his son's, and at the boy's question, the father stared hard at a vague shadow in front of the road.

"This, is this ......?" As the carriage slowly moved forward, the little boy's father's vigilance slowly increased.

"Dad, that person is so strange, it's obviously not raining now, he's still wearing a coat, isn't he uncomfortable on such a hot day?"

Grunt......

The middle-aged man swallowed, his vigilant gaze fixed on the figure in front of him that was getting closer and closer. Years of experience as a running merchant have taught him that things are not quite right.

The strange figure, as the little boy had said, was dressed in a badly damaged robe, with messy hair, his hands clenched on a weapon of unknown nature, and his body was in a posture ready to fight, showing a murderous feeling.

Closer, the middle-aged man could see that the man standing in the middle of the road was a teenager of about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he could also see that the young man's face was covered with dirty mud and faintly visible wounds of different depths. The young man looked indifferent, his eyes were kept closed, and he didn't seem to care that the carriage kept coming towards him.

Why is there a strange boy of unknown origin standing in the middle of the official road early in the morning? What is the fate of the father and son? Or let the camera of the story go back to the rainy night last night and start talking......

In the heavy rain, "Il", who was eager to take refuge in the town of Vannal, was running tirelessly on the official road in the Vincent Mountains.

The Vincent Mountains, located to the north of the village of Campo, stretch for hundreds of miles, and are rich in vegetation and species. In the past few days, I'll be here with Mark and Evan a lot of adventures. On top of the mountain range, an official road is built, which is the only way to the town of Vannal.

"Damn, it seems that this situation can't last long!"

Presumably everyone already knows that the person who controls Il's body at this moment is Lao Hei. At that time, Il swallowed Lao Hei's so-called "life-saving thing" in the village of Kemp, and the thing was stuck in his throat and couldn't swallow it. In the end, under the urging of a strong will to survive, Il finally swallowed it in his stomach, but the result was that he passed out.

The "life-saving thing" stuck in Il's throat turned out to be the "strangely shaped magic core" that was bought by a strange girl for one hundred and thirty gold coins at the camp village market. When the girl got it, she kept it in her storage necklace. Later, in the crisis of the mine in the western suburbs, Il saved the girl by chance. In order to thank Il for saving his life, the girl gave him this storage necklace.

Because of swallowing the demon core, Il, who passed out and died, completely lost consciousness. When Lao Hei saw this scene, he once desperately thought that he would not be able to escape this fate. Unexpectedly, he was surprised to find that he could control this stinky boy's body through his magic thoughts!

In addition, after Lao Hei got up from the floor, he also found that the "magic core" that Il had swallowed earlier had been slowly absorbed in his body, and the endless magic power was merging into the magic circle in his main atrium at an extremely fast speed.

While rejoicing that he had made the right bet this time, Lao Hei immediately activated the magic array that had been integrated with it, and forcibly transferred the pure and rich magic source power absorbed from the "Demon Core" to his own use, thus casting a fourth-level magic burial technique that made the two gray-robed people change color.

"Tsk, this body is really strange enough, once the magic power I absorbed before is exhausted, my control over its body will slowly decline, how far is this kid talking about Vannal Town." ”

The marshal of the demon race, who used to be omnipotent in the sky and the earth, would never have thought that there would be a day when he would be so depressed that he would have to run with his feet.

It is estimated that this Vannar town will not be able to make it in time, and at this moment, it seems that Lao Hei is about to lose control of Il's body.

"What to do, this kid doesn't know when he will wake up. Faced with such a situation, Lao Hei, who has experienced a hundred battles, doesn't know what to do for a while.

"There are no families in the barren mountains here, and once Ben Shuai loses control of his body, it is not impossible for this guy to be eaten by wild beasts. ”

"That's right!"

Lao Hei had an idea, picked up a branch more than a meter long from under the bushes on the side of the road, and then came to the middle of the official road, put on a very handsome warrior holding a sword, and then used some method to fix his body, so that even if he lost control, his body would remain in this posture.

Lao Hei, who was fully prepared, confidently thought: With such a heroic posture, I believe that the wolf and the leopard dare not approach easily, and our mortal enemies should not rush here so quickly, so there should be no problem with safety, and the rest only needs to wait for someone to pass by to rescue him, as for where he will be taken, wait until he wakes up.

Before Lao Hei could check whether this posture was perfect again, the mana in Yir's body had already been consumed. Old Black has completely lost control of his body.

......

It turns out that all this is Lao Hei's masterpiece!
