……

In the shadows, the soldiers lurked forward.

Staircase opening.

Matthew and the others also leaned up quietly.

It was already night, and the lights on the penultimate floor were bright.

With the only view near the staircase, they could tell that it was supposed to be a kitchen.

It's just that this kitchen is messy, and there is discarded garbage everywhere, as well as kitchenware.

A few rats swaggered down the aisle.

Soon.

There was a strange emotion from the Necromantic Pact.

"Master, it seems that something is wrong."

Matthew's mind moved.

He was about to do something when Rhaegar took out a mirror and shook it towards the staircase.

With just one glance, the two of them looked shocked.

But there was only a huge figure in the middle of the kitchen.

That's a two-headed ogre!

The ogre had two heads, and they looked similar, except that the hair on the left side of the head was red, while the right head was blue.

At this time, they were arguing fiercely.

The red-haired roared:

"You answer my question first, why do you always step on your right foot first?"

Not to be outdone:

"Because I can only control my right foot, isn't your left foot always in control, can you blame me for being slow? Now tell me, why don't you put chili peppers? ”

The red-haired sneered:

"Because the big guys' assholes haven't been good lately."

"Can't you hear the cry of the night? Yes, every night you slept like a dead pig, and the snoring was so loud that I couldn't sleep for several nights. Even if you hear it, you can't react -

If your brain was half as smart as mine, we wouldn't be stuck here as chefs! ”

The blue fur asked strangely:

"Don't they know magic? Can't you cure your asshole if you know magic? ”

The red-haired sneered:

"I can do magic, but I can't cure your brains?"

Blue fur was a little angry, and he pressed against the other head hard:

"Hey, Elph, I don't let you talk like that! I'm your own brother. ”

The red hair said mercilessly:

"Fart, I'm the one who crawled out of my mother's belly earlier, and you're more like you got out of her asshole!"

The blue-haired neck trembled:

"You scold again!"

"If you scold me again, I will take you to suicide together."

Redfur replied with the same irritation:

"If you commit suicide, you will kill yourself, even if you don't die, when the big guys' affairs are done, I will definitely ask them to cut us open, and from now on we will each have our own lives!"

There was silence in the kitchen for a while.

Then came the sparse sound of cooking.

Rhaegar adjusted the angle of the mirror to recapture the shot above the ogre's neck.

Blue Fur spoke slowly:

"Elph, after the cut, will you leave me behind?"

The red fur replied without hesitation:

"Don't be stupid, Gezar, how can you live without me? Before my mother died, I promised to take care of you. ”

Lan Mao suddenly showed a touched face:

"Oh, you're so good Elf, I'll propose to you when we're separated."

Who knew that Elph suddenly turned grim:

"Don't even think about it!"

Gezar shrank his head a little wryly.

Then I heard Elph say softly:

"Of course, I will do such a romantic thing as a marriage proposal."

"You'll just wait to marry me, Gezar."

That's all he said.

The two heads kissed together emotionally.

This scene is not earth-shattering.

But it also made Rhaegar and Matthew look at each other at the top of the stairs for a long time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they found more clues.

There was not only garbage and utensils in the kitchen, but also two stout chains that tied the ogre to the kitchen.

They could only move around in this small space, and it was difficult to even look up, let alone go anywhere else.

Ogres are shorter than trolls, but they are more muscular and more combative.

Matthew guessed that there should be other seals on them, otherwise these two chains alone would not be able to trap the magic ogre.

Meantime.

They also found that not far away was the staircase that led to the third-to-last floor.

Matthew gestured to Regab.

Then he quietly used a spell -

"Little Animal Trick".

A puff of white smoke rose from the slam.

An old hen appeared in the middle of the kitchen, fluttering on the table for a while, and then swaggering towards another corner.

"Hey! A chicken! ”

Zagger was the first to notice this, and he exclaimed:

"You've got a good deal tonight, Elph, and watch me catch it!"

The ogre's left hand slammed downward.

The old hen flapped her wings.

He didn't catch it.

"Rubbish, look at me!"

Elph scolded.

The ogre's right hand followed suit.

However, the old hen moved amazingly, and once again escaped from the clutches of the ogre.

That's how they got on the same page with the chicken.

Take this opportunity.

Matthew led Renesme and Bing across the kitchen quickly and up the stairs leading to the upper floor.

The ghost wolves followed.

Everything went smoothly.

Until it was Rhaeggar's turn.

But when he rushed over the kitchen to the staircase on the other side, there was a bang!

Matthew stared intently.

This guy didn't know when he put the big sword across his back, and the stairs that happened to go up were extremely narrow, and the others ran over, and as a result, the big sword was across the walls on both sides, making a sonorous and powerful sound.

The great sword snapped and pulled Rhaegar back like a slingshot, and he turned sharply, only to see the two-headed ogre looking at him in amazement.

Moment of truth.

The experience of the older generation of adventurers came in handy.

Rhaegar took two steps forward with ease, grabbed a piece of cheese on the table like a cook, and shoved it into his mouth, ignoring the mold on it:

"Is dinner ready? I'm hungry. ”

The two-headed ogre waved his hand furiously.

Elph said angrily:

"Get out of my turf! You humans! ”

Zager was equally unhappy:

"We'll ring the bell when dinner is ready, are you starving ghosts reincarnated? Also, clean hands and feet, that piece of cheese is what I left for Elph! Put it down! ”

Rhaegar couldn't help it.

He made a relaxed gesture and placed the cheese on the cutting board.

"Okay, okay, I wish I heard the rattle sooner."

As he spoke, he quietly adjusted the great sword to ninety degrees, and then walked briskly up the stairs.

"These humans really don't know how to be polite!"

"Well, where is my chicken?"

"Damn, he must have been stolen by that man, and I saw that he was a chicken thief!"

The sound of a two-headed ogre cursing could be heard from the kitchen.

In the hallway.

Rhaegar gestured apologetically at Matthew.

Matthew waved his hand, signaling him to be careful, and the two continued upward.

This flight of stairs is much longer than the previous one.

The night sky was dark on all sides, and the wind above the sky made their skin ache.

It's about to come to the penultimate level.

Another voice came from above:

"Are you ready for everything Lord Spencer wants?"

"I'll go down and check on the kitchen when I'm ready, that ogre is grinding every day, I have to report to Master Quinna and ask him to change the cook."

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the two sides were about to collide around the corner.

Rhaeggar's face tightened, and he had just taken the big sword in his hand, but Matthew actually swaggered up.

Curious, he followed to take a look, but saw that there were already two more corpses on the ground.

On the platform at the top of the staircase, the heads of the two rat men in Ah Bing's arms were still warm.

"Throw the corpse down."

Matthew commanded.

On this aerial platform, it is indeed much more convenient to destroy corpses and destroy traces.

Ah Bing did as he was told.

Matthew took the opportunity to look around.

This platform was supposed to be the one he had seen in the Enemy of the Woods ritual.

It is very wide, with a house in the middle, and a railing on the edge of the platform, which shows that it is a place where people move around every day.

In a row of houses about two hundred meters in front of them, there were bright lights, and there were some figures inside.

It was supposed to be the camp of the Blighters.

And on the side of the camp, in the sky I don't know how far, there was a thick cloud.

The faint moonlight shone on the clouds.

Matthew vaguely saw a large complex of buildings!

It seems to be one of the legendary "ruins on the clouds".

It's just that the ruins look lifeless, and there is no light at all, I don't know if it has been developed by the cloud elves.

"Why was the Blight Order able to find the hostel abandoned by the Cloud Elves?"

Matthew pondered as he surveyed his surroundings.

He took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped.

There is a vigilance spell.

But it's all low-level.

Matthew easily saw through them.

I have to admit that the Blight Order is indeed quite rubbish, except for finding a good camp, the camp is full of poor acidity.

In other words, most of the evil organizations are not having a good time.

This is also the reason why Matthew dared to come and exterminate them single-handedly.

He was about to walk towards the firelight.

However, at this moment, Rhaegar suddenly patted him on the shoulder:

"I have an important discovery."

Matthew turned his head and reminded:

"It's best not to joke lightly at times like this."

Rhaegar was stunned for a moment, and his little expression looked a little aggrieved:

"I'm not kidding."

"Remember the conversation we just heard between the two nezumi men, and they mentioned a man named Spencer?"

Matthew nodded:

"I know that the woman who stole the frogman's child also mentioned this person, who is supposed to be a wild mage, in collusion with the people of the Blight Order."

Rhaegar said solemnly:

"He is a wild mage now, just because he used to be."

"Remember when I asked you what it was like to cast a spell? At that time, I saw a news story about a group of mages who stole the "Speed Gem" from the Alliance's treasury because of their addiction to spell casting, and then they were on the Alliance's wanted list, and the boss of this group of mages was called Spencer! ”

Matthew looked surprised:

"Really? Do you have such a good memory? ”

Rhaegar looked proud:

"Do you think that my lord really reads the newspaper and drinks coffee every day?"

"I'm useful!"

Matthew's expression became solemn:

"Is there any talk of his strength on the wanted list?"

Rhaegar recalled:

"Third Order, but he stole the Alliance's treasury and must have something good in his hand, although the news said that they only stole one Rush Gem.

But believe me, the truth is anything but the truth.

They must have stolen something relatively important, and the Alliance must want them, but the Alliance is afraid that the person who sees the wanted notice will also covet the more important treasure, so it will mention something less important.

This technique is not new. ”

Matthew's eyes lit up.

The analysis of the other party was impeccable.

He didn't expect Rhaegar to have such a meticulous mind.

If Spencer is really with the Blight Order, it means that the operation will be much more difficult tonight.

Before the destruction of the Blight.

Matthew had to get the mage in advance!

"It is impossible for a mage to live in such a poor and sour place like these blighters, he can only live on a higher level, but if we continue to go deeper, the probability of being found will be higher."

The two of them found a hidden corner.

Matthew spoke his mind.

Rhaegar muttered:

"In this case, the best thing to do is to follow the example of the encirclement point, we can feint to attack the blighter's camp to make a noise, and then go and guard the passage from the upper level to the lower level, and wait for the mage to show up, and kill him first."

"Of course, there is a difficulty here, there must be a lot of blight in the camp, and we must have enough troops to do this."

Rhaeg's solution does work.

At least it's more feasible than continuing to grope upwards and the results will be perceived.

Although Ah Bing will eliminate some traps, if he is facing an alliance mage, Matthew is not absolutely confident that the group will be able to sneak as smoothly as before.

But if you summon the little brother of the cemetery here, the movement is too big, and I am afraid that it will be interrupted soon.

While Matthew was thinking about strategy.

Rhaegar suddenly warmed up.

Matthew looked at him strangely:

"What are you going to do?"

Rhaegar spread his hands:

"You can't keep staring at each other, can you?"

"What do you think Zeller asked me for? These blighters are plotting against the woods of my realm, and as a lord, I will defend the property of every one of my people, and it makes sense for me to kill them. ”

"Besides, I have to show you young people a hand, so that you can see the true skills of the older generation of adventurers!"

said.

He dragged his great sword and strode towards the Blighter's camp.

"Keep an eye on the direction of the passage, and the blighters in the camp will all be handed over to me."

Rhaegar said domineeringly:

"One more thing, I can't fly, in case I accidentally rush outside during the fight, remember to pull me back."

The next second.

Black-green flames lit up on his body.

The armor on his body fused with his skin in the flames.

Crunch.

That's the sound of bones growing fast!

In the twinkling of an eye.

Rhaeggar's height came to two meters three.

A pair of bloody horns grew from his forehead.

On his back grew a pair of long, shriveled, thin, but crystal clear wings.

At his tail vertebrae, a dexterous tail has grown!

His eyes turned pure dark green.

He looks like a terrifying devil!

……

"Hint: Your companion Rhaegar has activated his second form (Prince of the Blood Banner)

Prince of the Blood Banner: Rhaegar has shown his true devilish form, increased his combat power to the fifth level, greatly increased his speed and agility, gained the ability to dominate flames, and gained a 500% taunt ability bonus."

……

"Come, rats, you will sleep here tonight, and you will not be resuscitated again."

Rhaegar ignored the spell trap on the edge of the camp.

A sword aura burst out from the big sword.

In an instant, the roofs of the dozen withered tree houses were torn down!

"What people!"

Suddenly dark shadows appeared in the room.

They are filled with the smell of corruption and depravity.

See the image of Rhaeggar.

One by one, they were shocked:

"Where are you the devil? Why attack us? ”

Rhaegar slashed with a sword:

"I'm your father."

In a flash.

All the withers are fried.

One by one, they dodged their swords and lay on their stomachs, or they became bats, or hyenas, some of them became monitor lizards, and some of them became leopards.

They deftly surrounded Rhaegar in the center.

A steady stream of attacks has begun!

On the other side of the platform, Matthew has an invisibility ring and orders Ghost Wolf and Renesmay to come to Rhaeggar's aid.

And he and Ah Bing were guarding the passage downstairs.

Soon.

Fierce bells rang.

Someone rushed down the hallway.

A soldier raised and fell.

Instantly took off his head!

……

"Hint: Your summon, the Soldier, killed a Blighter.

Follow-up quest 2 (main story 1) "Maintenance is also important" has been updated with new content.
