Chapter 53: Charm
On the same day, the airship was attacked, and the attackers were a group of mutant beasts with bat wings, centipede bodies, and countless tentacles.
They slammed into the airship's armor, spewing corrosive venom from their mouths and letting out a piercing howl.
This creature, Roman seems to be familiar, and secretly said in his heart:
"Chips, scanned images, compared to the ancient mutant beast Markini bat..."
"Ding! Mission Establishment... Let's start the comparison... After the comparison, the appearance is 80% similar, and the guess is not complete..."
Roman's heart sank, experience has proved that anything involving antiquity is not simple, but a black-robed wizard beside him calmly flipped through the book and said disdainfully:
"Don't panic, these are just defective products, and the real Makini bats are far away, at most bully civilian airships, and deal with military airships... It's still far from it! ”
Hearing this, Roman turned his gaze out of the porthole again, and the airship protective witch array was activated, and the Makini bat was about to collide, but was blocked by a film of light.
Immediately afterwards, the airship group injured the witch array, and bursts of light exploded in the herd, like a large swarm of flies encountering pesticides, and the dead fled to escape, and the birds and beasts scattered in an instant.
This encounter reminded Roman of Desan's submarine, which could only bully unarmed merchant ships on weekdays, and once the battleships were armed to the teeth, they would only be tortured and killed.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the airship radio suddenly sounded:
"Ding-dong! Due to the large poisonous clouds ahead, the flight that was originally scheduled to terminate at the Blood King's Court will end the voyage at the fifth stronghold, so please bring all your luggage and belongings..."
"Shhhh Poison clouds! In order to blockade trade, it is really a matter of everything! Or even directly block the public waterway! The black-robed wizard beside him closed the book in displeasure.
Blockade?! When Roman heard this, he instantly understood the intention of the beacon of life.
The Poison Cloud Mountain Range is barren, and there is a shortage of everything except magic stones, and magic stones cannot replace all cultivation resources, so they will also be used as general equivalents for trade.
As long as the trade is tightly sealed and cut off, the usefulness of the magic stone will be greatly reduced, and the lighthouse will use it to put pressure on the opera house and grab profits.
"But the black market exists, so it shouldn't be blocked, right?" Roman muttered softly, attracting the attention of the wizard beside him.
He glanced at Roman and said lightly: "Now that the academy's strength is shrinking, the several strongholds that are focused on defense, without exception, are close to the black market, and will be the enemy's key targets." ”
"Among these strongholds, there is the fifth stronghold, which is not peaceful now, you have to be careful where you go as a second-level apprentice."
If you want to cut off trade, you naturally want to eradicate the black market, but this has nothing to do with Roman, he cares about another thing: "Is Stronghold 5 under siege?" ”
The wizard shook his head slightly: "Not yet, but it's soon, the enemy's main force has not yet arrived, and now there is only a small force of harassing troops, I went to the No. 5 stronghold this time, just to strengthen the defense there, are you too?" ”
"No, I have another important task, and I am going to go to the Blood King Court first, but now in this situation, it is estimated that the route will have to be replanned." Roman looked a little helpless.
Since the Broken Bone Royal Court did not go directly to the airship, Roman planned to go to the Blood Royal Court first, and then go to the Broken Bone Royal Court by land, but now that he got off the airship in advance, the original plan was no longer feasible.
After a little estimation, Roman found that the fifth stronghold was close to the virus area and closer to the final destination, the Bone Shattering Royal Court, and overall, the distance did not increase much.
Hearing this, the young man next to him smiled and said, "Blood Royal Court? You are on the run! To tell you the truth, the area around Stronghold No. 5 is dangerous, so you might as well stay and fight the enemy with me, and wait for the surrounding area to be safe before leaving. ”
Roman sneered in his heart, and refused on the surface: "I am not fleeing, but I am burdened with a heavy responsibility, and I really can't afford to delay." ”
The young man smiled and said, "What kind of task?" So important? ”
Roman looked at him with a slightly cold look in his eyes without fear: "Do I need to tell you?" ”
Those who can escape basically have a background behind them, or they are the key training objects of the college.
Forcibly detaining Roman, he will inevitably have a bad relationship with the wizard behind him, and the young man is settling accounts, for the sake of a second-level apprentice, it is really unnecessary.
So he withdrew his gaze and shrugged: "Okay, just forget it." ”
At this time, the airship landed slowly, and Roman left the airship quickly with a gloomy face.
The young man was dressed in a black robe, obviously a formal wizard, and almost forced Roman to conscript, but fortunately, he pulled the tiger skin and pulled the banner, and the fox and the fake tiger were barely prevaricated.
However, this place cannot be stayed for long, not only to escape the forced conscription, but from the forced conscription, it can be seen that the No. 5 stronghold is in danger.
Excluding a body of rune stones, how much combat power can he have as a second-level apprentice? How much role does it have on the battlefield? Even he didn't let him go, so hungry and unfed, the future war must be extremely tragic.
So as soon as he left the airport, Roman walked quickly towards the gate of the stronghold.
Stronghold 5 is similar to the West Pole Fortress, both of which are hexagonal bastions with a ring of plant-type mutant beasts on the outside.
The doorman checked the entry and exit credentials, and Roman left the fortress without any problems, and in front of him, the plant-type mutant beasts formed a forest, and only a forest path passed.
Roman stepped onto the forest path, lined with huge mutant plants, in front of them, Roman was like a fly in front of the Venus flytrap, if he was not careful, he would be swallowed in one bite.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong all the way, and Roman successfully left the mutant forest, activated the pointing technique, and walked towards the virus ecological zone.
As soon as he reaches the virus area, Roman will be able to buy a vehicle and officially embark on the journey of the Broken Bone King's Court.
"Chip, turn on the alert mode, and the perception is turned on to the maximum!"
"Ding! Mental power is dissipating, collecting environmental information, and analyzing ...... An unknown life form appeared in front of it, constantly approaching, and it was suspected that it was ...... Mankind. ”
Roman immediately stopped, ran to the back of the dirt slope not far away, and skillfully lay down, lurking quietly, like a seasoned guerrilla.
With the overflow of spiritual power, Roman's whole body is a sensory organ, and he gently climbed to the edge of the slope and stretched out a finger, like a periscope, to collect light from all directions.
Soon, he made a discovery.
"Chip, zoom in on the target!"
The light signal is transmitted to the visual center of the brain, and under the super computing power of the chip, the blurred part is sharpened and rendered, and finally the target is fully revealed.
"It's a bunch of ...... Woman? Why do you wear so little, like a wild man, but the skin and figure are really good......"
Roman looked surprised, these people were obviously not wizards, but how could there be mortals in such a place!
Just as Roman was puzzled, the women spoke in a loud voice:
"Travelers from afar, must be tired and thirsty, are you willing to accept the invitation of the mistress to drink the crisp and sweet spring water and eat the juicy and delicious fruits as a guest of the tribe......
"We are eager to be by your side, to listen to your story of travel, and when the story is over, to applaud together for a harmonious life......"
This is not explicit, Roman has read countless articles in his previous life, and his heart should not fluctuate at this moment.
But for some reason, when I heard this voice, I couldn't help but feel dry mouth, and my body surged with the urge to leave the hiding place and walk towards them.
Roman lay on his stomach, blushing and panting, his body reacting stronger as the sound got closer.
The brain seems to be dead, unable to think, let alone make decisions, and has to instinctively remind itself: "It's not normal now!" "Keep the last clarity.
But the impulse in his body was like a monstrous flood, constantly washing away the remnants of reason, driving him to get up and walk forward, just as his reason was about to be submerged...
"Ding! The body is affected by an unknown force field, endocrine disorders, obstruction of the respiratory process, carbon dioxide retention, and pathological reactions...... The chip takes over the control and excludes the impact ......"
The next moment, Roman returned to normal, gasping for breath, like a drowning man on the shore.
Immediately after, his expression suddenly turned hideous, he took out the rune stone, summoned a large fireball of green flame, and smashed it at those women.
"Nima, dare to charm me!"
