166 Stone Tooth Tribe
Misty swamps.
In Illo's expectation, he was supposed to usher in a series of VIP services such as frying, frying, boiling, stewing, and roasting provided by the ogre tribe, but he didn't expect it to backfire, and he could only breathe a sigh of relief in disappointment and crawl out of the quagmire with a lonely face.
But a brave heart would never stop beating, and it didn't take long for him to regain his strength and come to the girl's side to talk.
"This young lady, I'm Ranger Illo, I don't know what you call it?" If you ignore the stinky water and sludge he left behind when he just rolled in the mud, the half-elf's behavior can really be regarded as personable and outstanding.
But now, the girl wrinkled her nose, subconsciously took a step away, and replied, "I don't have a name. ”
Behind her, Bai Ji snorted softly and glanced at Illo with disdain.
Knowing that retreating was never a despicable act that a mighty and majestic half-elf could do, he smiled indifferently, "How can such a beautiful young lady like you not have a name worthy of your peerless face?"
The girl frowned, quite puzzled, "What is Fangming?"
This time, Bai Ji finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
Illo scratched his head with a somewhat wrying expression, and said helplessly, "Then you have to tell us what is the reason why you have no malice but have to escort us, right?"
"Something strange has happened in the tribe lately, and I suspect it has something to do with you," the girl said calmly, "so I'm going to escort you back for interrogation." ”
"Didn't you say that you didn't have any ill will towards us?" Illo's hands were still tied behind his back, and the short knife hidden in his sleeve had been searched, but if the girl hadn't said that they had no ill will, they wouldn't have been caught so easily, which made Illo a little indignant, "I see that you are simple-looking. I didn't expect you to cheat on my feelings. ”
Bai Ji rolled her eyes, the girl's innocence was fine, but which of those ogres could be considered simple, but to her surprise, these hideous-looking ogres were so obedient to the words of this petite and calm girl, that she could hardly believe her eyes.
"I had no malice just now, and I have no malice now. The girl glanced at Illo, "So I said there was no malice, is there anything wrong?"
Illo looked at her speechlessly and said, "Then what will you do if you have malicious intent in the future?"
"The future, the future is talking," the girl shook her head, gesturing ahead, "we are coming." ”
Walking here, Illo had already noticed that the ground beneath their feet had become hard and thick. Such a ground in the misty swamp would make for an excellent campsite. In the swamp, muddy water undercurrent, unpredictable, yesterday it was a safe road, today it may become a bottomless abyss that devours people.
However, for Illo, who has a "sensitive sense of touch", he naturally will not fall into such a situation. But how many adventurers on this continent have such powerful detection methods? It's a Jedi of a step-by-step crisis.
And this maiden sacrifice seems to have a special means. She zigzags her way through the swamp, keeping even the massive ogres safe. However, judging by the careful appearance of the ogres, it seems that if they fall into the swamp with their weight, they will be a hundred times worse than the sturdy half-elves. Until you reach this hard ground. Their nervous expressions became relaxed, and they yelled and stomped on the ground, their excitement palpable.
"Let's go. The girl chuckled and looked at the huge ogres and turned her head.
The fog ahead had become lighter. You can faintly see the fence made of rocky rocks and the building mixed with logs and boulders. The style of the building is crude and bold, and in some places there are hideous spikes, on which blackened pieces of dried meat can be seen.
Illo shrunk his neck, sincerely hoping that he wouldn't be one of them.
River valley, Violet Tower.
"Nothing happened in the past few days, has it?" Allegri asked, turning to Brooke.
"Everything went well. Teacher. Brooke shook his head, signaling that there was nothing special.
Allegri nodded and glanced around, "By the way, what about Afra?
Brooke smiled bitterly and spread his hands, and said helplessly, "Teacher, do you think I can control her?"
Allegri couldn't help but smile, reached out and touched the crystal plate, and his spiritual power spread, quickly locking on Afra's location. She was sitting on the grassy slope next to the training ground, eating leisurely, and watching with a bored expression as Herseus trained the little mercenaries.
Allegri nodded at Brooke, turned and walked down the magic tower, strolling in that direction.
In the twilight of summer, birds and cicadas are singing, and the valley is a little hot. However, Afra found a shade of a tree, which was also cool and pleasant, especially compared to the mercenaries in the sun.
"Afra?" Allegri walked behind her with a light step, twisted her face, and snorted, "How did you finish the homework I gave you?"
"What homework?" Afra broke free and blinked blankly, pretending to be innocent.
"Have you forgotten what I told you before I went to the Green River Valley?" Allegri grimaced, and he feigned a majestic posture.
"Teacher, you must have misremembered," Afra said seriously, "there is no such thing at all, maybe you were too busy to forget." Teacher, you should pay attention to rest and avoid confusing everything. The great cause of the mercenary group is all tied to you, if it's just my homework, it doesn't matter, if you confuse something big, then what can you do?"
Allegri laughed in his heart, but on the surface he glared and snorted, "You dare to quibble, right?
He had just made a stance when he heard Afra shout, "Old teacher Herseus, the teacher is going to beat me, come and save me......"
It was too late, it was too soon, and the ubiquitous Herseus slowly emerged and snorted angrily, "Allegri, stop!"
Afra stuck out her tongue and glanced at Allegri with a grin. Hiding behind Herseus.
Allegri spread his hands helplessly, "Teacher, when did you become the summoner of this little girl?"
"What nonsense," Herseus snorted, "as Teacher Afra's teacher, I must be responsible for her upbringing. In particular, it is important to prevent such violent acts of yours. ”
Allegri shook his head, Herseus had not been doting on Afra for a day or two, he changed the subject and asked, "Teacher, how is your training over there?"
"It's okay, but after all, it's a preliminary selection, and some people's talents are not as good as they think," Herseus also put away his joking expression, "Again." Some guys are also more talented than they imagined, even much better. ”
"Well," Allegri nodded, "After a short period of time to settle down, we will re-screen and sort it out, and it can be regarded as basically formulating the establishment and distribution of the mercenary group." ”
"That's the best," Herseus mused, "yes. What's going on over there in the Green River Valley, you've been delayed for so long?"
"Over there...... Afra. You go to the side first. Allegri thought about it, but decided to break the little girl apart first.
"I don't want to go, old teacher, I want to listen too. Afra said coquettishly.
"Well...... Afra, we have to cultivate it well, and it's okay to listen to it. Herseus spoke for her.
"No, this ...... It's a bit inappropriate for children. Allegri said firmly.
"Oh?" Herseus glanced at Allegri in an ambiguous sunlight. Nodding his head, he said, "Afra, you go and play first, and review the things I taught you." ”
Seeing Afra walk away, Allegri turned around. He told Herseus what had happened, and waited expectantly for his analysis and advice.
"It turns out that such a good thing as the silver dragon flower has survived...... Do you know where else is there?" Unexpectedly, Herseus's first sentence turned out to be this, which immediately made Allegri stunned.
"Teacher, we shouldn't be concerned about more than this, right?" he looked at the lewd teacher helplessly.
"Silver dragon flower is also a very rare alchemy material, okay?" Herseus quibbled.
"Then you go and try refining Dios," Allegri said with a smile, "He has taken two large doses of blue-spotted silver dragon pollen, and I'm afraid that there is no one else in the entire continent." ”
The master and apprentice laughed for a while, and Herseus said, "It seems that Onesha's situation is not very good, and that Andrei dares to use such a drastic method." ”
"There's one less imminent threat," Allegri thought to himself, "by the way, I've brought back that Andrei with me." ”
"Well," Herseus nodded, "Onessa is really not good at dealing with this guy personally, what are you going to do with him?"
"I don't think it's going to be easy to deal with," Allegri looked at him with a smile, "so I decided to give him to you as a birthday present." ”
"What is this? My birthday is in the third month of spring!" Herseus snorted.
"I'll have to make an excuse for no, but that's not on my radar," Allegri grinned, "he'd better not die anyway, but he can't talk nonsense, and he can't let him escape......
Herseus frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome, can't you just kill it?"
"This ...... I think about it this way, this guy is a marquis, and when the rumors pass, he can still extort a lot of money from his family. Allegri looked around and whispered.
"That's a good idea," Herseus praised him, "and where is he now? ”
"I've been locked up in the Magic Tower," replied Allegri, pondering, "how do I think that my Magic Tower still lacks a prison or something, and that there may be more and more need for it in the future." ”
"I've known you for so long, I really didn't expect you to have the potential to be such a 'great' profession as a 'jailer'," Herseus snorted coldly, with a look of remorse, "Why am I now more and more afraid that others will know that I am your teacher? (To be continued......)
