35. Bell Bead Hunter
It makes sense to retake the city and exchange clues!
Ash keeps the castle lord in his cell, waiting to kill the Lingzhu Hunter before coming over to make a deal.
As for the city lord mistaking Millicent for the Valkyrie Malenia, it was entirely because the two were too similar, which also proved from the side that Millicent was indeed related to the Valkyrie Malenia.
Before the ashes left, the lord of the castle suddenly called out to him, and it turned out that he had told him information about the Suzuzu Hunter.
The Hunter of the Bell Bead has a unique combat skill, [Ouhe Sword Dance], and the city lord has suffered a great loss in this regard.
This kind of combat skill can instantly shoot the weapon in your hand in a spiral, and then withdraw it into your hand.
At the beginning, after the Suzuzu hunter defeated the castle lord, he also took away the castle lord's weapon, the execution sword.
This is a two-handed greatsword, and after being given [Ouhe Sword Dance], its power is doubled.
Ash nodded, indicating that he had remembered not to fight him in close quarters when the time came, but only to use ranged attacks.
Following the elevator, the group of ashes returned to the city wall, and after passing the two towers, the main hall of the city was already in view.
The closer you get to the city lord's hall, the more female statues there are, and even when you come to the door of the city lord's hall, there are already female statues around you.
Looking at these statues, the ashes are also powerless to complain, what kind of strange fetish, the city lord is not panicked at night?
"It's at the door, it's time to go."
Melina's words rang in her ears, interrupting Ash's divergent thoughts.
Putting the shield away first, Ash's left hand began to condense faith, just as the Sunshine Gun was about to take shape.
Ash kicked the door open and threw the Sunshine Gun directly, instantly hitting the Bell Hunter who had not yet reacted.
Although the Suzuki Hunter stumbled, he quickly stabilized his figure, lifted his great sword in his right hand, and threw it forward.
It was at this moment that he was waiting for, thanks to the city lord's reminder, and the ashes rolled over and left the attack range.
At this time, Melina had already jumped up on the bench, and the short knife in her hand also released her own combat skill, Golden Flame Strike.
Seeing that [Ouhe Sword Dance] had done useless work, the Bell Bead Hunter was furious and clenched his right hand violently, and the great sword that hung in the air spiraled was instantly recalled to block Melina's attack.
Looking at the ashes, Melina and the two had a relationship with the bell hunters, and Millicent, who had no long-range attack means, could only sweep from the sidelines.
As soon as the Bell Bead Hunter returned to defense, he gave Ash a gap to release his spell, and two [Soul Giant Arrows] roared away.
I haven't suffered a loss to a bell hunter, and I still treat this as ordinary pyroxene magic.
Prepare to fight a wave with your armor, and then close the distance to the ashes.
As a result, the bell bead hunter launched a charge against the [Soul Giant Arrow], and as soon as he made contact, a huge pain filled his whole body, as if his soul was torn apart.
It's a pity that at this time, if you want to stop again, your body is already out of control.
From Millicent's point of view, it was the Bell Bead Hunter who rushed to the ashes in one go, and after eating two [Soul Arrows], his body was swinging and waiting for the ashes to attack.
How can you let go of this good opportunity, when the bell bead hunter comes to his senses, the ashes have already been chopped down with the [Great Kalia], and the result is naturally self-evident.
After killing the Bell Hunter, Ash didn't immediately go to the cell. Instead, he threw the long sword in the hands of the bell hunter to Millison, how could he return it to the city lord as his own trophy, so that Millicent also initially had a long-range attack method.
Continue to search in the main hall of the city, except for some arts and crafts, there is nothing that can make the ashes look at it.
Seeing that there was no wool to harvest, Ash returned to the dungeon to complete the deal with the castle lord.
Seeing the ashes return unharmed, the city lord was overjoyed and naturally fulfilled his promise.
"Valkyrie Malenia was seriously injured after a battle with Shatterstar Ratarn."
"The Venerable Knight, in order to heal the Valkyrie Malenia's injuries, went to Michaela's palace, the root of the sacred tree."
"The roots of the sacred tree?"
Ash turned around and asked Melina.
"Have you heard of it?"
"I've heard that Michaela is called the Sacred Tree Michaela because he planted a sacred tree since he was a child."
"But when the Shattered War broke out, Michaela was gone."
Ash was thoughtful when he heard this, is there a connection between Michaela's disappearance during the Shattered War, and the Valkyrie Malenia herself going to attack the royal city, only to suddenly turn the spearhead and attack Galid?
"Do you know the way to the Sacred Tree?"
"I really don't know this, but it should be near the snowy mountain, because the Rotten Knight left from that direction." The lord answered the question of the ashes.
"Snow Mountain!"
It's easy to have a general direction, and it's also easier for Millicent to do a blood connection.
Getting the information they wanted, the three Ashes were ready to take their leave.
The castle lord looked beyond the ashes to Millicent, and finally seemed to have made a decision.
"That, I see that this girl is missing a right arm, and it must be inconvenient to move, if you don't dislike it, give her the prosthetic leg here."
The city lord said as he took out a prosthetic arm, which happened to be his right arm.
Ash took it, took it to Millicent, and compared it, and found that it was a good fit, as if it was tailor-made.
He hurriedly thanked the city lord and prepared to put it on Millicent.
Millicent also bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
After debugging, Millicent soon put on a prosthetic leg and moved a little jerky.
However, there was no problem with holding the knife, which made Millicent very happy, and it was easier to exert force than the left or right arm.
After bidding farewell to the city lord, Ash originally planned to continue on his journey to the Snow Mountain, but suddenly received a letter from Roger.
The letter mentions that something has happened to Neferi.
Ash frowned, could it be that Sir Hundred Wisdom had escaped?
Without enough clues, blind guessing can only confuse thoughts. Ash made a quick decision and prepared to return to the Academy of Magic to figure out what was going on.
Ash was going to return with Millicent, but was refused.
Millicent thinks that now that she has just received a prosthetic leg, it will take time to grind in. Just take this opportunity to experience it alone, and then wait for Ash to solve the matter of Neferi, and then look for the Valkyrie together.
Ash looked at Millison's resolute eyes, and after leaving the address for future meetings, a teleportation disappeared into thin air.
Back at the Academy of Magic, Roger immediately told the whole story in detail.
Neferi was very depressed when she locked Sir Badge up.
There was nowhere to go, so I could only sneak back to the round table gathering point and weep silently.
As a result, one day, the blacksmith saw a person sneaking in on Neferi and stuffed her with a bottle of medicine, and Neferi disappeared the next day.
