"It's not easy, it's finally killed." Zheng Shu reached out and wiped the beads of sweat on his head.

Even Zheng Shu had to admit that the enemy in front of him had a terrifyingly strong vitality after being strengthened, and when he couldn't resist, he actually supported the attack of the two of them for so long before he died completely.

This ghost's physical recovery speed and defense are even comparable to Zheng Shu's state of opening ultra-high-speed healing.

"The upper body is a human, and the lower body is a dragon? Is there such a monster in Greek mythology? Zheng Shu fell into thought.

The distortion of the guy in front of him after receiving the power of the altar is obviously a change in the body mimicking a specific image.

Zheng Shu also wanted to know what kind of enemy the other party had just shouted and what kind of enemy such a physical change belonged to, but unfortunately, most of his knowledge of Greek mythology was obtained from the game. Most of the characters he could recognize were also learned from a certain card drawing game.

"Look at this." Vera handed over a sheepskin scroll from the side, "Found from under the altar, this thing should be the key to this guy's ability to use magical power even though he is just an ordinary person." ”

Zheng Shu took the parchment scroll and glanced at it, which recorded various sacrificial rituals. At the back of the parchment scroll, Zheng Shu saw the information related to this ceremony.

"I've checked it just now, and most of the above rituals are fine, but if someone moves hands and feet in the last ritual, if you pray for power according to the last ritual, most of the power will eventually be transported by the altar to an unknown target." Vera recounted her findings on the sidelines.

The traps on this ritual are so obvious that anyone who has refined the basics of magic can recognize them, but even in the Kamiyo, only a handful of people have magical knowledge.

"In this case, someone wants to accomplish something with the power of this ritual?" Zheng Shu carefully examined the trap pointed out by Vera on the sheepskin scroll, his magical knowledge was too fragmentary, and it was still a little difficult to identify such a complex ritual.

Vera nodded and shook her head, "Yes...... No, the other party's actions seem a bit strange to me. In fact, if the entire ritual is carried out according to this ritual, although most of the power will be stolen, there will indeed be a small amount of power left to help the ritual builder improve his strength - that is to say, the knowledge on this scroll is not deceiving, but the 'cost performance' is too low. Moreover, this way of increasing power is too rough, and it will even affect the sanity of the ascendant, so ordinary magicians will not use such an inefficient ritual to increase their strength at all. ”

"Because it's not meant for magicians." Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be quite a few of this scroll on the market, and the target of the person who issued this scroll is not magicians at all, but those ordinary people." ”

"Ordinary people? What use can ordinary people do when they get these sacrificial rituals? Vera asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's 'promoted'......" Zheng Shu's tone was a little dignified.

"Huh?!" Vera frowned suddenly.

Before Zheng Shu could ask a question, a shout from a distance interrupted their conversation: "Here!" ”

With this sound, a large number of people suddenly appeared around the valley, wearing uneven attire and weapons that looked a little messy. Judging from the magic fluctuations they showed after revealing their bodies, it should have been the group's covert magic, so Vera and Vera didn't find their traces in the first place.

"It's Arcadia's army." Vera looked at these people vigilantly as she stood in Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu blinked, a little unable to believe that the group of guys in front of him, who looked like a ragtag army, was actually the army of a country.

After losing the blessing of extraordinary power, the fog at the bottom of the valley was gradually dissipating, so Zheng Shu could clearly see that some people in the team in the distance could not even wear a set of leather armor, but just put some linen cloth on their bodies and came over with something similar to a farm tool in their hands.

Of course, in addition to these villagers who knew at a glance that they were temporary signs, Zheng Shu also saw a few guys who seemed to be quite good at the front of the team. But even so, this team is a little too different from the concept of the army in his impression.

But if you think about it carefully, Zheng Shu also understands that an army like that kind of military appearance will not appear until modern times. For a long time before modern times, the so-called armies were mostly makeshift peasants.

Turning his head to look at Vera, he saw that he didn't have any surprise on his face at these armies, it seemed that in this day and age, such an army should be the norm.

At this moment, the "army" at the front suddenly parted from the middle to reveal a passageway, and a guy who looked unusually gorgeously dressed walked in from it.

The man was wearing leather armor covered with all sorts of golden ornaments, and on his back hung a huge cloak with various patterns painted with gold threads, but the man was a little too thin compared to his gorgeous clothes, and from a distance he looked like a monkey with a mess of objects.

"Are you the ones who caused this tragedy?"

Surrounded by several of his subordinates, the "monkey" swaggered in front of Zheng Shu and Vera, and touched his hair with the hand full of various gemstone rings.

"Monkey" first glanced at Vera's fruit-propped breasts with greedy eyes, and then suddenly froze when he turned his gaze to Zheng Shu's face.

And when faced with the fact that the guy in front of him was quite obviously responsible for the blame, Zheng Shu and Vera didn't have much reaction, because they had been "shocked" by each other's dress.

"Are all nobles dressed so scary?" Zheng Shu looked at the cloak that could be used as a quilt behind the other party, and twitched the corner of his mouth. Running through the jungle with this thing, he doesn't believe this guy if he doesn't have any serious illness.

"No, Mr. Zheng Shu, I think your impression of the nobles is a little skewed, and the nobles generally don't dress themselves like this, I think this is most likely the characteristic attire of the Arcadian nobles." Vera, who is also a top nobleman, is very serious about maintaining the image of her class.

"Presumptuous!" An angry roar interrupted the conversation between the two men, and it was none other than the entourage of the "monkey".

Because the other party didn't show a very good attitude at the beginning, and even had a tendency to arrest the two of them as criminals and make meritorious contributions, Zheng Shu and Vera didn't plan to give him a good face.

The conversation between the two people did not deliberately lower their voices, and it can even be said that they deliberately said it to the guy in front of them.

The tall retinue took the initiative to take a step forward and stared at Zheng Shu and Vera tightly: "What you are looking at is the ruler of the Arcadian border town, the leader of the strongest army in Arcadia, the strongest of the kingdom, even the king must be called 'commander'...... Although he does dress up a little spicy. ”

"The latter sentence can be said without saying!" The diminutive commander kicked aside the tall retinue in front of him, a look of anger on his face.

It's a pity that after this interruption of this "loyal" entourage, the power he created before has completely disappeared, of course, Zheng Shu and Vera did not feel any momentum, but this commander still felt embarrassed to himself.

"Ahem, all in all, where is the guy who made such a big fuss and even affected my sleep? If you can't say it, you can go to the prison instead of that guy! The Commander coughed twice in embarrassment, trying to salvage some of his dignity.

It's a pity that his short body makes his set of movements look more like a monkey, and there is no momentum at all.

"Lord Commander, the one lying under the feet of these two people should be the culprit this time, I saw the battle between them when I was investigating just now." At this moment, another short-looking entourage behind the Commander suddenly stepped forward and "whispered" to his Commander Lord about the information.

The face of the commander who was slapped in the face again darkened, and he kicked the short and fat retinue away, making him lie on the ground in a pouting posture and accompany the tall entourage just now:

"Fuck you! Do you bastards have such an entourage? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will slaughter you when he goes back!! ”

After a while, the commander turned his head to look at Zheng Shu and the two suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, he coughed, took out a bag of coins from his body, and showed a flattering smile on his face:

"I'm really embarrassed, two heroes, I didn't expect you to see such a rude scene, but don't worry, the bonus kingdom of this crusade will be paid, and it will definitely satisfy you and not let you do it in vain. This is a little bit of my heart, you take it first! ”

Seeing the other party's rapidly changing attitude, Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and glanced at Vera, Zheng Shu took the initiative to step forward and take the money bag: "No need, this reward is enough." ”

Anyway, without giving the commander a chance to speak, Zheng Shu and Vera left the place directly.

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, the originally smiling leader suddenly became serious, and the whole person no longer revealed a funny aura like before, and the seemingly thin body actually revealed an inexplicable sense of majesty.

"Your Excellency."

A respectful voice came out from behind, and the two attendants who had been kicked down by him just now were already standing behind him at some point.

"Well, you guys did a good job." The Commander nodded, and his tone was not as casual as before.

"Our pleasure!" The two attendants heard their master say this, and lowered their heads a little deeper.

As retinues, they naturally can't be as casual as they just showed in their masters, and there are no human rights in this world, and most of the city-states in ancient Greece even followed slavery. If someone really dares to complain about their immediate boss, they may make their heads move if they are not careful.

The reason why they behaved like that just now was entirely because they saw the gesture signal of their master behind their back.

"Your Excellency...... Is it really necessary? They're just two people. The tall attendant hesitated, but finally asked the question in his mind.

In fact, it was not only him, but behind him, the people in the army also looked at their commander suspiciously.

After so many years, they have a pretty clear idea of their boss's temperament. Don't say that you mock your boss like the two people just now, sometimes you may even be beaten up just because the sight makes him feel uncomfortable.

Hearing his own words, the corners of the commander's mouth twitched: "I have a bad temper and it depends on who I'm facing, the woman next to me is okay to say, that man's strength is a bit outrageous, and I'm not even sure that I can win him in a one-on-one situation." If we do fight, even if we can kill him in the end, there won't be too many people in the entire army who will survive except me. ”

Hearing his boss say this, the eyes of the people around him widened in surprise.

Although they are quite proud, they also know that their boss basically can't lie, which means that the man just now has the strength to fight the army on his own.

"By the way, did you just see that man's face?" The Commander seemed to remember something, and turned to look at his tall retinue.

The attendant was stunned by this question for a moment, but still replied very honestly: "Yes, I saw it." ”

"And what do you think of what he looks like?"

"Uh...... Which man are you talking about? The attendant looked hesitant.

"Huh?! What the hell is this problem? Wasn't there just one of those two men? The Commander was a little surprised when he heard this, wondering if he had kicked him too hard just now and broke his head.

The tall retinue hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth to his boss: "That...... In fact, the two people just now are both men, if you don't believe him, you can ask him. ”

The commander turned his head to look at the other short and fat retinue, and when he saw that he also nodded, his expression was a little broken: "What?!" That guy is actually a man?! Are today's young people playing so much?! So my first love ended before it even began...... Wait, it doesn't seem like it's impossible for men. ”

The two entourages glanced at each other helplessly, and in order to prevent their boss from exhausting the little majesty he had left, the tall one could only cough, pretending not to see this scene and continuing to answer the question just now:

"If you're talking about the guy with the iron rod, I did see him. In my opinion, although he looks relatively fair, he is very average-looking. ”

"That's right......" After adjusting his mood, the commander thought about the information provided by his entourage just now, "What was the situation with that guy just now?" Curse? Or is it a blessing? ”

"Do you need me to keep track of them?" Seeing that his master was lost in thought, the short and fat attendant took the initiative to step forward and propose.

"Hmm...... Never mind! Those two guys don't look like they're going to be in this country for long, so don't worry about them. The Commander finally rejected the decision, and turned around and walked in the direction he had just come, "Let's go, go back to the city!" ”

"Yes!"

The two retinues bowed respectfully towards the commander and followed him out, while the other soldiers on the high ground also left in an orderly manner after receiving the order.

The unusually heavy looking cloak behind the Commander shone brightly, and a large amount of magic was withdrawn from the surrounding armies into the cloak.

And as the magic of the blessing on the entire army failed, these soldiers, who originally looked like ordinary villagers, also revealed their true colors.

Each of them wore a full set of armor that looked unusually heavy, and the silver-white armor shimmered with magical light, and the aura emanating from each of them was not inferior to that of low-level heroes.

The uniform armor and weapons, coupled with the orderly marching posture even in the jungle, can be seen even by just looking at it, this army exudes an "elite" atmosphere from top to bottom.

This is what the strongest army in Arcadia really looks like.
