There was silence in the woods, and dozens of meters away, El stood on a tree and coldly observed the movements of this group of uninvited guests. This is his territory, and with the power of the forest, he has the power to wipe out all these undead creatures. The only thing to worry about now is one thing - Tiana said that they are outnumbered.

"It looks like you're a sane person. ”

Cross stood up and pulled the arrow from his shoulder, the pain causing him to gasp, but he had a smile on his face.

"I can understand what you're doing, yes, I'm also a knight. The young lady was a beautiful woman, alone in trouble, in need of help and protection. If it were me, I would have made the same choice. ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to kill her. Instead, I'm here to pick up the eldest lady. My master greatly admired the talent of this young lady, and perhaps before long she was even above me. ”

"Your bad jokes are funny. ”

After a while, El finally spoke. He wanted to know more about this guy's intentions.

"Bad joke, no, no, what should I call you?" Cross turned his head to look at where the voice had come from.

"El. ”

"Very well, Mr. El, I like people who can talk calmly. Cross straightened his blood-stained shirt, "I suppose you don't know the identity of the eldest lady, do you?"

El was silent, he didn't know anything about Tiana's past, but what this guy said wasn't necessarily the truth.

"Tiana, we call the 'Snake of Light'. Wanted by the northern counties, a dangerous element with a reward of more than 10,000 gold coins. Her wanted warrants can be found everywhere in northern cities, and you can just ask any northerner to find out. ”

Cross's words made El frown, and he couldn't help but recall the way the girl had been secretive when she met the lord. But then he remembered the scene when the girl was concentrating on making potions for herself.

"You think she's a good person, and I'm a bad person in command of these monsters? Cross continued, his frankness not fake.

"But El, you have the ability and brains, and you should be someone who has seen the world. In this world, who can tell what is righteous and what is evil, what is right and what is wrong?"

Cross spoke in a deep and powerful voice, which was very convincing.

"It's true that the eldest lady is a good person, but that doesn't mean that she is on the right path now. Whoever is who, but now, El, do you know how much trouble she will bring to you, to your relatives, and to your hometown?"

"I brought her back. El said.

"It's a virtue to help a lady, but El, your efforts are not destined to be rewarded. You know how much difference there is between you and that eldest lady. What will she give you? a kiss, or a bag of gold coins? It can't be love! She's like a burning flame of light, and you're just a moth. ”

"I think you're off topic. Cross's words were like thorns in his skin, and El was infuriated.

"yes, I'm more emotional. Cross rubbed his face and spread his hands, "Then let's get back to the subject, El, and let me talk to the eldest lady." ”

"Maybe it's better to kill you here. El said coldly.

"Then why don't you do it yet?" Cross chuckled confidently.

"The plague has befallen the world, and the rise of the Cursed Sect is unstoppable. The Snake of Light has already caught the attention of the big shots, and even if I die here, the pursuit of her will not stop. And you will pay for your actions. ”

There was a brief silence in the woods, and the tingling sensation aimed at his forehead faded away, and Cross breathed a sigh of relief. He has always been more confident in his persuasion skills, which is another manifestation of his own strength.

There aren't many legendary heroes in this world who don't eat the fireworks of the world, and humans are generally realistic creatures who will think about their own interests before making any decisions. The so-called chivalry means nothing to those who struggle to survive on the subsistence line.

Cross believed that his opponent was just carried away by the beauty for a moment, and he was glad that the opponent was sane and not a fool who didn't know what to do.

The ancients used to say that loyalty is not enough for betrayal. All he had to think about now was a price tag. Too high can make people feel like a fat sheep and become greedy, and too low can make people feel insulted and cause negotiations to break down, which is also an esoteric science among the aristocracy.

Cross took out a beautifully embroidered money bag from his bosom, filled it with a whole bag of gold coins, put it in his hand, made a deliberate noise, and then threw it vigorously in the direction from which El's voice came.

As he expected, the other party only hesitated a little and then took the money bag.

"You come with me, your monster stays here. El said.

Cross nodded slightly, he took off his tattered robes and put them on horseback, and commanded the ghoul troops to quiet down and gather together. He himself walked into the woods without care.

Under the moonlight, he finally saw the opponent who had threatened him with death. It was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in the most ordinary coarse cloth, with a brownish-yellow animal skin shawl on the outside, and a longbow on his back that proved to be a hunter.

No matter how you look at it, this guy is just a vulgar country villager, and Cross doesn't know what gives him the courage to stand up to himself and the ghouls.

He suddenly remembered the two dark blue eyes that were like ghostly fire in the darkness, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. But now that I looked closely, the boy's eyes were only much brighter than normal, and there was no vision.

This guy has good skills and knows the times, maybe he can recruit him as his servant, Cross thought to himself.

"Follow me. El jumped off the tree and walked towards the mountain, beckoning Cross to follow.

It's ruthless and unjust, Cross shook his head, and sighed hypocritically. In his eyes, these uneducated commoners were essentially money-seeing, and at most they had listened to the chivalric novels sung by bards, and imitated the good virtues of the heroes for their own satisfaction.

As soon as they drop a lot of gold coins, they will be completely revealed, turning into earth dogs wagging their tails and licking their boots.

Of course, Cross was not disdainful, he knew very well what filthy and filthy creatures the aristocracy was, and these commoners were more likable than others, because the troubles that could be solved with money were not called troubles.

"Can you tell me about the Snake of Light?" suddenly asked El, who was leading the way.

"Still not giving up on that young lady?" Cross sneered, "Okay, I can tell you what I know." ”

"The Snake of Light is the nickname given to this eldest lady within the sect, her name is Tiana, and she is from Sky City. She's smart, ruthless, and unscrupulous. Because he is the best at using light archery, he is as nimble as a snake, so he got this scary nickname. ”

"You say ruthless and unscrupulous?" El looked back in surprise.

"Yes, she is ruthless, and she is well known in the northern counties. Kroos is glad he found the topic again.

"Although we curse the sect to believe in death and revere natural disasters, we are still believers of faith. The Snake of Light is a fanatical messenger of justice who has sabotaged many of our plans and killed many people. Old people, women and children...... As long as she violates her own moral beliefs, no one will let go. ”

El didn't respond, just glanced at Cross with a suspicious look. The was so that he didn't even have a reason to convince himself of it.

"I don't have to lie, she's not just guilty of more than that. Cross saw the suspicion on El's face and felt that his integrity was being questioned, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Let me think about it, starting with Greenwood—arson, murder, robbery, theft of noble property, murder of nobles, storming of sentry posts, looting of ordnance, armed insurrection...... This is enough for her to be hanged eight times on official charges! There were many people who didn't believe that she could do so much, and they all paid with their lives. ”

"It sounds like the northern counties have been tossed enough, what a wild girl. El couldn't help but sigh, "I can't see it from the outside, but it's quite my appetite." ”

"Your taste is too heavy. The corners of Kroos's mouth twitched, "I'm not kidding you, it's all true." ”

"I'm not kidding you. El stopped, turned and looked at Cross steadily.

"If you're telling the truth, that's great. I can break her hands and feet without any psychological burden, and leave her in the mountains to be my wife. ”

Despite the honest and simple smile on his face, the words that came out of the boy's mouth were shocking.

Cross shuddered, his face growing paler. He silently tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, and suddenly found that before he knew it, El had climbed to the top of the cliff with him. A howling cold wind blew, and the loose gravel under his feet slid down the hillside to the bottom of the cliff. In the dark, he couldn't see the road clearly, and he didn't know which foot would be empty, and the sudden change in the situation made him break out in a cold sweat.

El looked up at the night sky, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a good time to kill people and sell goods. He nodded in satisfaction and pulled out the axe pinned to his waist, his eyes glowing blue.

"Wait a minute, what do you want?" Cross cried as he drew his sword and screamed inwardly, retreating slowly and cautiously.

"I'm a hunter, but occasionally, I make a cameo appearance as a bandit. I want money, people, I want it too. ”

El smiled as he approached, the seemingly harmless country boy baring the fangs of the beast.

Kroos gritted his teeth, he didn't have hole cards, but they were all for Tiana, and it was a waste to use them on this kid.

But at the moment when he hesitated, El suddenly exerted his strength, and the whole person rushed in front of him like a mad bull. The sharp axe met Cross's blade, and the force forced him to take a few steps back.

On the hillside, blue and green glow exploded at the same time, illuminating the last darkness in the pre-dawn sky.
