489 The Lost Maiden
Although there is a huge difference in height, barbarians and dwarves have many things in common.
For example, he is addicted to alcohol, such as outstanding combat power, and for example, he has a straightforward temperament.
Of course, this is a nice way to put it. A certain half-elf ranger said that the dwarf's head was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.
And the barbarians are not far behind in this regard. These subspecies of humans, who are still in matrilineal clan societies, do not seem to have developed the fruits of civilization such as intrigue and intrigues, and do not know what to do with them.
So when Illo told Bai Ji to stay where he was and wait for him to come back, she really waited. And when Alex was bored and wanted to follow and take a look, the barbarian girl refused without hesitation.
The reason is simple, first, she is not good at stealth, and she is prone to mistakes, and second, she has promised Illo to wait here.
But Bai Ji didn't know that his two companions had already been chased by "Death Knell". It wasn't until a day and night, a hundred miles away from the misty swamp, that the two frightened suddenly remembered that the barbarian girl was still in the outer area of the swamp, waiting for their return.
"You were ...... Why didn't you bring her with you?" the flustered Illo was already a little speechless, and his tone was obviously reproachful.
"She doesn't agree," Alex was stunned for a moment, then spread his hands, and explained helplessly, "Even myself, I sneaked away while she wasn't paying attention." ”
"Alas!" Illo sighed, pacing back and forth, looking impatient. If it were possible, he would never want to face the "death knell" again, but in any case, Bai Ji was also in danger because of his reasons, and it was reasonable. All had to be saved.
Thinking of this, the half-elf did not hesitate any longer, turned around and walked in the direction of the swamp.
"Wait," the gray-skinned lizard hurriedly came out and stopped him. "During this time, the 'death knell' must have controlled the entire misty swamp, so why did you bother to throw yourself into the net?"
"Yes...... Ah," seemed to have an unspeakable fear of the "death knell", and Alex also opened his mouth to persuade, "Perhaps, Bai Ji has already returned to the valley first, and everyone can sense that something is wrong at that time." ”
"That's because you don't know her. Illo shook his head, took the little lizard out of his arms, and leaned down on the ground, "You go back first, I have to go see it anyway." ”
"But you're ...... now," Alex glanced at him worriedly, a half-elf known for his agility after this toss. It's hard to even walk.
"It's fine. Illo strained himself and waved his hand.
The gray-skinned lizard shook its head. "Woo" burrowed into the crack in the stone next to him, apparently unimpressed by this insistence.
"That'...... I'll go with you. Alex's expression changed, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and chased after him.
It was dangerous and dangerous to escape from the clutches, but now it has to be sent to the door. The King of Evil Spirits really couldn't understand this kind of behavior. He controlled the lizard that was sheltering, and just wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, he stopped again.
"Illo. Take me," a disproportionately loud cry erupted from inside the little lizard, "I have a way to temporarily blind Deathknell's vision. ”
The sun was shining outside, but inside the misty swamp, it was still as dark as night.
The "bedbug" stood respectfully beside him, looking at the "death knell" with awe.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not interested in you. The old man said casually, and with a slight wave of his hand, the black smoke around him re-condensed into a wide cloak, covering his figure.
"Thank you, Big Brother 'Deathknell'. Ventrov was still dressed as a necromancer, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"No need to be polite. The old man waved his hand again, and the "Dead Soul Country" in mid-air suddenly rippled like water waves, and the scene gradually blurred, and the original many colors were mixed into a mess, and finally turned into a dim light.
Immediately, the dim light quickly closed and disappeared in an instant, leaving only an old lantern in the air, quietly suspended above their heads.
"When this is over, you will return to the valley of the Herseus River, continue to monitor the movements of the 'Bright Godhead', and inform me immediately if there is any change. The old man commanded in a deep voice, and at the same time, the lantern slowly fell and flew back into his hand.
"Yes. Ventrov answered honestly. Although he had intervened to stop Illo and the others, he never showed up from beginning to end, so naturally he didn't have to worry about his identity being recognized.
After the explanation, "Death Knell" stood solemnly for a moment, then turned to the north. The four of them worked together to finally suppress the soul energy storm that broke out, but the "evil spirit" also took this opportunity to quietly slip away, which made him quite dissatisfied.
"It's a pity that I didn't get the 'evil' job," the old man sighed and said to himself, "but these powers should be enough for a while." ”
He reached out and stretched out the hood, as if opening a big mouth, and the majestic suction suddenly brought a gust of wind. On the collapsed Soul Temple, the remaining gray mist was swallowed into its body, and there was no trickle left.
"Big brother, what about 'bats' and 'sludge'?" asked "Bug" cautiously when it was devoured. Although "Deathbell" is not interested in him, "Mud" has always had bad intentions, so he still mustered up the courage to ask for clarification.
"They went first. The old man replied absentmindedly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly threw his hand away, and the dim lantern fell into the fog like a bird, swaying three times and two times, and disappeared without a trace.
"Goodbye without saying goodbye?" Ventrov scratched his head and reprimanded indignantly, "Big brother, I didn't say it, they don't take you too seriously-"
"It's okay," the old man glanced at him with a smile and explained indifferently, "It's one, so why be polite?"
"This is ...... One?" The short and thin necromancer slowly comprehended the meaning of his words, and he couldn't help but shudder, and almost collapsed to the ground. No wonder this time, he felt that the temperament of "Death Knell" was slightly different from the past. It turns out that before dealing with the "evil spirit", "bats" and "mud" have long been accused by them?
"Get up!" Seeing his wincing appearance, "Deathbell" snorted lowly, and then continued, "Your duties are useless to me, as long as you are obedient, you can live longer than all of them." ”
Between the words, the lantern that flew away just now suddenly turned around. The dim light opened like a door, and out of it came a bruised girl.
"Barbarian?" the old man swept his gaze and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, yes, it's a good billet." (To be continued......)
