"Hey, wait for me, I can't climb walls."

The girl quickly followed the young man who was burying her head in her skirt and complained, "Why didn't you take me out when you brought me in?" ”

Herman smiled awkwardly, he was just thinking about the dragon, and for a moment he forgot that the wizard couldn't do such difficult actions as flying cornices and walls.

"Sorry, I just got distracted."

"Come on."

He stretched out his hand to the girl, grabbed his thin waist and climbed up the wall.

Climbing over the wall to the street, Herman let go of the girl who always exuded the fragrance of the morning light on her body, and said to her, "Now go to the temple to receive the bounty, and then go our separate ways." I've also inquired before, and no other mercenary group has killed a third-order demonic beast except us. Now that the tide of monsters has receded, I don't have the courage to trouble them in the dark lair. ”

"Map Thing...... I can only forget it first. ”

Vera felt a little lost in her heart, and then she felt strange about her thoughts, shouldn't she be disappointed by failure? Why do you feel lost?

The temple was crowded with pilgrims, and its prestige had reached its peak since the dragon god's appearance the day before to scare off the three great wizards.

The place to receive the bounty was at a small door on the left side of the temple, and Vera took out the voucher and handed it over.

When the dragon servant saw the stone slab, he immediately entered the small door with the stone slab, and after a while, a kind old priest walked out.

Tsai carefully looked at the two of them for a few times before saying, "I'm Priest Anderson, I heard that the two of you want a map of the east?" ”

Vera and Herman suddenly came to their senses, and Vera said, "What conditions do you have?" ”

Anderson replied, "The Temple has a new quest where you can get a map if you complete it. ”

Vera said, "What task?" ”

Anderson smiled slightly: "An ordinary escort mission, if you are interested, please come with me." ”

The old priest turned and entered the small door, as if he was not at all worried that the two would not follow. In fact, they really can't just leave.

The interior walls are carved with dragon scales and stone carvings, as well as a large number of flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the pictures of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are like ukiyo-e.

The temple was hidden behind the giant statue of the Dark Spirit Dragon, which looked inconspicuous, but the space inside was huge, and the three of them turned around and turned around before finally stopping in an inner room, where the room was bustling, and sixteen people knelt on the ground at will.

The knights were very easy to distinguish, so they sat opposite the knights, and the identities of the other group of people who were clearly distinguishable were very clear.

Herman and Vera glanced at each other and walked into their respective camps.

Anderson suddenly clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. Then he said: "Everyone is here, now let's talk about the task." The beast tide of the past few days must be no stranger to everyone, although these beasts have caused the city-state to suffer a lot of losses, but we have also obtained many monster corpses because of this. The corpse of the monster itself is an excellent gathering material, so it is very popular. Therefore, the High Priest decided to send six caravans to the six nearby city-states to sell these materials, and your task was to escort the caravans and protect the safety of the caravanserais. ”

Saying that, he smiled: "Compared to what you want, this task is not difficult, right?" ”

(It's not that hard, but it's problematic.) ）

A strong man sitting next to Herman suddenly asked, "I remember that the Temple Caravan has always cooperated with Fury Wing City and Earth Spirit City, right?" Why did you suddenly send caravans to the six city-states this time? ”

Anderson looked at it and said unhurriedly: "Of course, there are a lot of materials accumulated this time, and I'm afraid they won't be able to digest them." ”

"Really?" The strong man clearly didn't believe it.

Anderson said lightly, "Don't question the credibility of the temple, Captain Allen. ”

The strong man himself was not only a high-level source knight, but even a force in the city that was much stronger than the Black Wind Mercenary Regiment, but after hearing Anderson's words, he couldn't help but change his face and stopped speaking.

"If you don't want to take on this mission, you can leave now."

The room fell silent for a moment, and no one left.

……

Central sacrificial hall.

Valk was very incomprehensible to the High Priest's decision, and questioned, "Why do you want your disciples to escort the caravan?" Isn't going out of the city now to send you to death? You don't really think those people are going to give up, do you? ”

Otis shook his head slowly: "I just want to know who betrayed the city-state. ”

Valk was stunned: "You mean there is a mole in the temple?" How is this possible, they were all raised by you personally. ”

Otis smiled bitterly: "Yes, how is this possible!" I'm thinking about this too, and I can only say that the building will collapse and the birds will scatter into the forest. ”

Valker snorted heavily: "This kind of person should be damned!" ”

After his anger, his expression darkened, and he looked at the pale Otis: "But don't be too pessimistic, you did a good job last time, I almost thought Lord Svein was alive." City-state, there is still hope! ”

Otis smiled slightly: "That's just because you are not a wizard, I don't need to say that the spiritual power and insight of the realm people are high, at that time they were just frightened by the prestige of soul siphoning, and it won't take long for them to react, and then it will be the time of siege." ”

"And what do you do?" Valk said pessimistically.

Otis sighed: "What countermeasures can there be, didn't you already guess that I only have a few years left to live?" Didn't Adonis of the Abyss Hermitage come here at this time to sacrifice my soul to the Abyss? Otherwise, when I die a natural death and my soul dissipates, he will get nothing. ”

Valker's mouth opened, but he couldn't say anything. Even if there was no hope, the dignity of the Sky Knight did not allow him to flee without a fight.

Otis said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to fight to the death for the city-state." If I had a lot of life left, I would have abandoned the city with you and gone back in search of a new volcano to establish a city-state. But I'm old and dying, and there's no need to tie you down with responsibilities anymore. Valk, when the city is broken, you will pursue the martial arts. ”

Valker's eyes were slightly red, he was also raised by Otis, and his relationship with Otis was like father and son. Hearing these words, I couldn't help but feel sad: "You, don't say that." We'll get through it. ”

When it came to the end, Otis looked down on life and death, and said with a smile: "Hehe, three thousand years have lived enough, and watching a city grow from scratch to prosperity can be regarded as no regrets in this life." Even if I can only watch it perish in the end, I am happy to sink into the ground with it. ”

"It's my fate, Valcke."

……

"That's not right!"

Adonis exclaimed suddenly.

Merley and Cleveland also came to their senses: "That dragon's spiritual power fluctuations are much weaker, and the spiritual power of the fourth-order dragon clan will never be so weak!" ”

As a representative of the dual cultivation of demon and martial arts, the dragon clan is naturally strong, and its spiritual power is far superior to that of the same level. But a few days ago it felt very strange to them.

The three of them looked at each other and became angry.

"We've been fooled by that old Otis thing."

"Let's go, go back and try him. If Svein appears with him, it means that the dragon is not dead, and if there is only one ...... inside"

"Then you can besiege the city."
