At this time, it was the end of summer, and the mountain was already overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and although it did not burn immediately, it began to emit choking smoke after the fire was burning. Then, under the influence of the wind, orange flames rose.

Gradually, the flames converged and suddenly rose up. Like a giant monster, it staggered and burned inexorably towards the mountain.

Smoke billowed from the bottom of the mountain, getting closer and thicker. Choked so that everyone on the top of the mountain coughed incessantly, and their eyes were full of tears, and they could barely open them.

Lorraine lay on the ground with her head down, coughing and shouting at the top of her throat, "Be careful, everyone. They all quickly took a towel and dipped it in water, and then covered it on their noses. Cover your nose with a towel. ”

Hearing his words, everyone woke up from a dream, and pulled up their towels one after another, even those who did not have towels, and also tore off a piece of fabric from their clothes and covered their mouths and noses.

And at this time, the fire is getting bigger and closer. The blazing flames dried everyone's clothes, and their eyebrows and hair began to curl.

At this moment, I heard a strange sound from the bottom of the mountain.

Lorraine was curious, and from the gap in the billowing smoke of the rise, she struggled to look down the mountain.

I saw that in the open space of the valley in the distance, there seemed to be some kind of ritual being held.

Dozens of white-robed guards all knelt on one knee, forming in a circle, whispering something incessantly. The black-armored knight was in the middle of the circle, sword in hand, kneeling on one knee, head bowed, as if he was reading something.

The men kept repeating a strange intonation, and their voices were getting louder and louder. Immediately after, a faint layer of white light appeared from the knight's body.

Lorraine couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what are they doing here?

"Sacrifice~!" Karter said as he watched from the side.

Lorraine was stunned.

Carter looked at him puzzled, and explained with a wry smile: "This is a kind of Holy See divine blessing, drawing power from other people's bodies, all blessings on one person's body, can improve a person's strength in a short period of time, but it also has quite a negative effect." Therefore, it will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

He looked down the hill with hatred, and then continued, "When I was on the front line, I saw the knights of the Knights Templar use it. It is indeed invincible to start a war. But I didn't expect these guys to use this trick in their own intriguing battles, rather than in the war with the enemy. It's a pity for the heroes who fought bloodily on the front line. ”

After saying that, he spat viciously on the ground.

Lorraine suddenly understood, that knight was really vicious, he was waiting for everyone to be roasted by the flames, and with the blessing of divine magic, rushed up and took Catherine and Leo alive. As for the life or death of others, they can only stay where they are and resign themselves to fate.

At this time, a strong wind blew. The fire rose so violently in the wind that the weeds crackled and even the air became hot and distorted, and everyone hurriedly retreated.

As the fire gets closer and closer. It is also becoming more and more difficult for the crowd to support. Even if I avoided the choking smoke and barely breathed a breath of air, it was unusually dry and hot, and my lungs ached with every breath.

All the guards have battlefield experience, and they are also very good at dealing with fire.

They saw the fire approaching, and someone had already cleared a small clearing on the top of the hill for everyone to hide in. At the same time, some people took water with them, and poured it all over the people.

Seeing this, Lorraine couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Even with such preparations, once this fire passes, I am afraid that many people will die. And even if he can survive, he will be caught by those guards under the mountain because he is powerless to resist.

He took advantage of the busy crowd and quietly pulled Vera. Let her follow her to an unnoticed corner.

He was about to speak, but he felt much more comfortable standing next to Vera, and even the air was not so hot. I couldn't help but be stunned.

He reached out and pinched Vera's pretty face hard.

The girl let out a low cry of pain. He said angrily: "Young Master, what are you doing?"

Lorraine felt the slippery slippery fingers and asked strangely, "What's the matter with you? Everyone's clothes are almost burned, but you don't even have a hair at all?"

Vera smiled sweetly, reached out and took out a necklace from her plump and great chest, shook it in front of him, and then said proudly, "Look, this is the guardian necklace my mother gave me. It's a treasure of the dragons. ”

A cold light flashed in Lorraine's eyes, but when he asked him to grab a little girl's things, he still couldn't pull his face.

He coughed softly, then said, "Don't talk about that yet." You can find a way to restore your original body and take everyone away. ”

Vera was stunned. She thought about it sideways, then blinked her big innocent and bright eyes, and said in a slurred voice, "It's not impossible." It's just that...... It's just that flying in the sky is tiring to say. Not to mention having to transport a few of them to another place. Ouch, it hurts. ”

Lorraine was suddenly furious, raised his hand and rewarded her with a violent shudder, and said, "You...... You are a veritable robbery while the fire is on~!"

Vera rubbed the swollen bag on her head, pouted her pink little mouth, and said unconvinced: "So what? Buy a snack and spend all your pocket money for the month. But you take 200,000 gold coins, and you don't say anything about giving them a little. ”

She saw Lorraine raise her hand again, hurriedly put her head in her hands, and sprang to the side. Then he threatened, "If you don't raise your salary." I just flew there with someone, and maybe when I got to my destination, I would return due to weather conditions or mechanical problems. ”

Lorraine glared at her viciously, but when she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh. But as soon as he laughed, he choked on the smoke and coughed repeatedly.

When Vera saw his appearance, she couldn't help but worry in her heart. I wanted to step forward, but I was afraid that he would knock on me, so I had to say from afar: "Less...... Master. You...... Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Lorraine coughed a few times, then straightened up and said, "Okay, I'll just promise you." Isn't it okay to give you a salary increase?"

Vera immediately cheered, then pounced, pursed her lips, and kissed him softly on the cheek. Said: "Young Master, you are really good. ”

Lorraine smelled the faint fragrance coming from the delicate girl, and couldn't help but feel that it was not a bad thing to give people a salary increase. But he said: "In order not to let others doubt your identity, you'd better fly away and come back." You know what?"

"Got it, got it. Vera looked at the crowd and saw that they had no time to pay attention to this side, and some of them were even choking on the smoke and almost fainting.

At this time, a thick smoke wafted in, choking Lorraine who couldn't open his eyes and coughed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Vera hesitated, reached out and took off the necklace, and then hung it around Lorraine's neck. said: "Young master, I'll lend you this thing to support it first." ”

Lorraine felt that the necklace still carried the body temperature of a girl, and her heart was greatly moved. Although this little maid often gets into trouble and takes advantage of the fire to rob, on the whole, she is quite gentle and considerate to herself.

"Wait until I get back. Vera looked at him, then turned, lifted her dress, ran to the edge of the cliff on the other side, and jumped without hesitation.

At this moment, I heard a roar like a demonic beast coming from the valley in the distance.

Lorraine was suddenly shocked, but with the guardian necklace on his body, he was not afraid of the smoke of the fire, and hurriedly walked over.

I saw a black figure, rushing towards the mountain with great speed. Due to the high speed, a high cloud of smoke and dust was raised behind him, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

Lorraine looked back, but found that everyone was tightly surrounding Leo and the two, but they were already under the smoke and fire, and almost all of them had passed out, and even opened their eyes, which was extremely reluctant.

He thought about it and wanted to pull out his gun, but when he saw the flames around him, he immediately thought that for fear of igniting the gunpowder and exploding, he had already given all those things to Vera and let her keep them in her ring.

At this time, the black shadow had already rushed to the front.

Seeing this, Lorraine didn't have time to think, reached out and pulled out the long sword at his waist, and then slashed it with a sword.

The black shadow was really good, although it encountered a sneak attack, but it swung its sword like lightning to block it. The two swords intersected, and suddenly there was a loud bang.

Nord didn't expect that in this situation, there would still be someone who insisted on fighting, and couldn't help but be shocked, took two steps back, and looked fixedly, only to find that in the smoke, Lorraine was standing opposite him.

Lorraine looked at the faint white light rising from his body, once the flame approached, it would immediately go out, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, those dead bald heads of the Holy See really had some doorways.

He looked at the long sword in Lorraine's hand that emitted a faint white light, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils. Said slowly: "Battle Spirit Sword." Are you from the Longya Grass Lorraine family? Take it out so casually, aren't you afraid that the Holy See will hunt you down?"

Lorraine stepped over a cloud of flames and pulled a sword flower. He sneered: "The Holy See? Do they probably know? Who sued them? Don't forget it, your identity is just a lowly bandit~! If the Holy See knows, doesn't it mean that the bandits are colluding with the Holy See?"

He paused, stared at Nord, and said word by word: "What's more, dead people can't speak." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and at the same time let out a low roar, leaned down, and tore through the smoke and flames.

They stared at each other like two wolves in the wilderness. While wielding the weapon in your hand, you carefully turn your body to look for the opponent's weak point and wait for the opportunity to attack.
