Chapter Seventy-Seven: Dead and Alive

The task of checking the enemy's city defense is very simple, we only need to climb the mountain on the east side of Chamera City, which is dominated by the end of the world, and look at it from a distance to confirm whether there are formed enemy troops stationed in the city. It's probably the easiest and easiest task I've ever undertaken.

In the city of Chamera, Imperial soldiers are lining up outside the camp. They hunt with flags and are murderous. The heavily armored "Red-eyed Castlevania City Defenders" stood tall at the head of the city, vigilantly observing the movements outside the city. Joining them on the alert were some purple-robed, musket-armed vampires - "Blood Shooters".

Although the situation in the city was clear at a glance, I was afraid that there would be something missing, so I stared at it with wide eyes for more than ten minutes, until Buddha Xiao couldn't help but remind me:

"It won't take that long, it's already been investigated, just go back and hand in the task......"

Following his advice, I stood up, patted the dust off my body, and was about to turn away. Before leaving, I took one last look into the city to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

"Hey, what's going on there?" Unexpectedly, this parting glance actually made me happen to discover the anomaly in the city, "Why is there so chaos in the city?" ”

"Really? Where? "Buddha Xiao and I are your father, following the direction of my gaze, looking curiously into the city.

On the most spacious north and south continents in Chamera City, a large group of people suddenly poured out like an avalanche. They rushed out of the alley with a loud noise, and from time to time they shot powerful attack magic or crossbow bullets or something like that, and the scene seemed completely out of control.

This is because you are equipped with a telescope that increases your field of view. So I saw it more clearly than Buddha laughed at the two of them. After looking closely for a long time, I realized that in front of the crazy and rude mob, a slender and weak figure was rushing forward lifelessly, as if fleeing. Whenever he passed by, there was always a flurry of passers-by. But after a few moments, the strangers he passed by would quickly come to their senses and shout loudly to join the pursuers.

The fugitives were forced into a panic and had to follow the main street. Just as he passed a junction. An ice-prismatic arrow struck him with precision. The fugitive was immediately frozen into a human ice sculpture. The crowd of people chasing behind them immediately swarmed up, and all kinds of weapons in their hands immediately came in handy. In an instant, the fugitive's chest was pierced by a sharp sword, and he lay motionless on the ground.

Witness the fugitive's death on the spot. Those who pursued seemed to be less satisfied. Many people spontaneously stood around the corpse, as if waiting for the runaway to come back to life on the spot, and then kill him as quickly as possible.

Their wait soon paid off. It didn't take long for the outlaw, who had been chased all the way to the ground, to be resurrected on the spot again. Looks. This guy has become accustomed to this trick of fleeing immediately after resurrection, and as soon as he regained consciousness, he immediately jumped up like a spring and bounced out of the city.

He moves fast. The timing of the resurrection was also very good, and the people around him were unprepared, so he almost rushed out. Unfortunately. He had just run out and had not taken a few steps. He stepped on a trap set by a shadow thief. Got bitten on the left leg by a large clip. So, he quickly fell into the encirclement of the pursuing crowd again. Instantly drowned in the vast sea of people's war.

This kind of thing happened again and again, from the intersection to the city gate in a short distance of one hundred and ten steps, this unfortunate fugitive died more than twenty times, until he approached the city gate, he was also cut off by a "red-eyed demon city defense army", and his head was opened in the blink of an eye.

I have never seen death fall on a man's head so often, and it is impossible to describe this unfortunate and miserable situation as "desolate" alone. On the way to finally escape the city gate, he almost risked his life step by step. The attack knives of several Demon City Gate guards all had a huge lethality of one kill, and he was not allowed to have any chance to resist at all. All he could fight for was whether he could take a step forward or two before the mortal stab slashed at his head.

After many attempts to resurrect from the dead, this hapless outlaw managed to break free from the butcher's knives of the guards at the city gate and struggle to rush into the fields outside the city. After that, the pursuers chased him out of the city, killing him four or five times in a row. It wasn't until one time that the fugitive finally succeeded in using the technique of "stealing" and disappeared on the spot in full view of the pursuers, which completely got rid of the brutal suppression of this group of people, and the crowd of chasing and killing gradually dispersed.

We had a cheerful mood of not watching in vain, and watched this good show from beginning to end, and then embarked on the return journey. On the way down the mountain, the three of us still reminisced about the bloody massacre we had just witnessed:

"That person died so miserably just now......"

The bearded priest was indeed a devout convert, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he had a compassionate tone, and his words were in a voice

Regret.

“…… If only I could slash him twice and make it so refreshing......" He added.

"It seems that the profession of the empire is not quite the same as ours, I seem to have seen a few people just now, and I have never seen the magic and skills used." In contrast, I am more focused on these things that may threaten my own safety in the future.

"That's what it is...... Buddha smiled and didn't think it was anything strange, "...... There are no druid classes in the Empire, but there is one more necromancer than us, and some classes will be different from us after they change classes, as if they can't be turned into Paladins, only Fallen Knights...... "I've heard of that," ...... And their priests will not be converted into devouts, but will become shadow believers......"

"Oh, I see......" I nodded in understanding.

What has always made me feel distressed is that although the Buddha laughs at the level of these air seekers who are not much higher than mine, they always know much more things than I do. Even many newbies who are much lower than me know a lot of things that I don't know. I remember that they all said that they had seen these inquiries on the "homepage", but I went around every city and village I visited, and I almost didn't dig three feet into the ground to dig graves, but I never found the existence of such a magical device as the "homepage".

"yes, yes, I've always wanted to become a paladin...... "The bearded priest nodded deeply, as if he knew all about it, and interjected at the right time.

"Holy you big head horseman, you are a priest, only a warrior can be turned into a holy horseman!" Buddha laughed and immediately shouted hysterically. I think it took a lot of effort for him to resist the urge to slash this little brother with an unenlightened brain.

Fortunately, there are also outright rookies like me who don't know anything and don't know how to pretend to understand, which makes me feel a little more balanced in my heart.

Well, there's still a lot of dumber guys out there than me, that's the feeling. What a "cool" word!

"Oh, I see...... "I'm your father, and he immediately hung his head in disgrace. He seemed anxious to get out of this awkward situation, and asked without words:

"It's strange how they could have killed each other in their own city? Aren't fights forbidden in the city? And why did the guards at the city gate follow suit? ”

Although this unlearned priesthood has a solid and incomparably hard, uncivilized elm head. But now he is asking a question that is far beyond his IQ. This is what has always puzzled me: how did this killing happen?

"Ahem...... Countless predecessors and martyrs have revealed to us such a universal truth with their blood and will...... "The Buddha smiled and cleared his throat, and said to us aloud in a rare and righteous manner:

“…… For those things that we can't explain for the time being......" He paused, and in our expectant gaze full of intellectual curiosity, he waved his right hand in a sonorous voice:

“…… It all comes down to a matter of character! ”

"Big brother. You are simply a great philosopher of the century...... "I am your father who burst into tears with excitement and admiration, eagerly looking at the Buddha who had just made a big speech and laughing. “…… Listen to you. It's better to read a book for ten years......"

O all-knowing and all-powerful God. When will you give me a risk-taking companion in my right mind? I haven't been disgusted to death by these two guys, probably thanks to my unwavering faith in the Most High God.

"Huh. Look there...... "Although the bearded pastor's cheeky flattery and the combination of Buddha's laughter and praise and self-praise made my whole body feel chills, it still made me retain a trace of my vigilance as an adventurer. As we passed a corner of the mountain road and were about to return to the bottom of the mountain, I suddenly noticed something ahead of me:

A guy in thong panties and no better than nothing at all, was lying with his back to us, behind the rocks at the exit of the mountain road, and the ghost was looking out.

Usually people describe a person as "ragged", but I would say that this word is too exaggerating to describe this man who is almost bare-bottomed at us. The rags he wore on his body made it difficult to see that they had any connection with "clothes". I even suspect that this man would have to pay more to repair his equipment than to buy a brand new one.

Hearing movement behind him, the lewd naked man turned back to look at us in horror, his face full of despair, and he seemed ready to hide and flee at any moment.

But a second later, he approached us in a weeping voice, stretching out his arms to express his excitement with a huge hug

"Jeff, Buddha Xiao, it's actually your ......" My and Buddha Xiao's faces changed greatly, and immediately the long sword was unsheathed, forcing him out of two steps before he approached, he could only face the two sharp blades, and continued with some embarrassment, "...... I finally see my loved ones! ”

Shouldn't I introduce you to this beggar who keeps us away? He's a pure-blooded dark elf, slightly taller than me, with short purple hair, and a master of theft. A forty-seventh-level assassin with his name written on top of his head......

Red Wolf!

Underneath his name, the name of the guild is marked in the same long string of small words as we are: a bunch of people who are idle and bored, chattering about messy things.

The biggest difference from the last time we saw him was that when we looked at his name again, it had turned a cordial emerald green - which should mean that he had completely broken away from his evil homeland and joined the Continental League with honor.

Now you should understand why we would rather fight him with a sword than let this thief with kleptocratic ringworm get close. If we hug him warmly without guarding, we are afraid that we will not even have a pair of underwear left on our bodies when we are separated.

"Red Wolf, how did you end up here?" Buddha Xiao was very surprised by the sudden appearance of his dark elf friend. He looked at the other man from top to bottom in amazement. I couldn't help but blurt out, "How did you become this ......"

Suddenly, Buddha Xiao's body stiffened, as if he had thought of something. It was as if a flash of light had crossed my mind, and I had figured out a question that I hadn't been able to figure out just now.

"Isn't it ......"

"Is it ......?"

Buddha and I laughed in unison:

“…… You were the guy who was chased all the way just now?! ”

"That's me. I'm so miserable......" The red wolf was crying, as if he was full of grievances and bitterness and had nowhere to appeal. However, after a few moments, he came back to his senses full of doubts:

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Hey? Why did the Buddha laugh at it with his neck held high and kept looking at the sky. As if the question had nothing to do with him at all? I didn't seem to hear him talk about stiff neck symptoms along the way just now?

Oh, red wolf, don't you stare at me with two big eyes, even though you're a man. But I'm embarrassed to be - or rather, I'm embarrassed because you're a man......

Well. The sun in the sky is really round......

"Don't you say. You've been hiding by the side. Watching me being guarded and the corpse still stood by......" the red wolf said through gritted teeth.

Stand on the edge of the vast grassland, let the soft sound of the wind caress your ear drums. I can't hear a single earthly noise, and I'm in a good mood, so peaceful, so peaceful......

"Actually gloating and laughing so lewdly......"

On such a beautiful day, isn't it normal, reasonable, and logical for our hearts to be filled with songs of life and gratitude to the gods, and to face life with a smile on our faces and an open heart?

"You two unconscionable fellows, don't pretend you didn't hear anything......"

Whether it is the alliance or the empire, countless warriors will be buried in this protracted war, and perhaps some families and some races will be extinct because of this, but for this boundless vast and incomparably calm grassland, for this towering mountain, for this white and flawless clouds, the cruelty of war is only a short-lived farce for them. Looking at the vast beauty in front of me, my mind suddenly became so lofty, so profound, so wise, so sharp......

So sharp?

Hey? When did the Red Wolf show his dagger?

The equipment all over the body was torn to shreds, and only this dagger was still as clean as new, which was really strange, strange......

Hey, I know you're excited, but don't get so close. And when you are excited, you still hold a knife, and it is easy to hurt people. I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I'm afraid you're hurting yourself. They all said you don't need to be so excited, why are you still here? If you come again, if you come again, I'll ......

"Run, ......" Faced with the naked assassin approaching step by step with a dagger in hand, Buddha and I coincidentally took the same countermeasure at the same time - just run away.

"Red wolf, don't be like this, be sensible, if you have something to say, we can explain what happened just now......" Buddha laughed and shouted as he ran.

"I'm sane, I'm sane, I've never been so sane as I am now......" The red wolf's persistent voice came from behind him, "...... When I put these two unrighteous guys in seventeen or eighteen holes, maybe I'll be more sensible......"
