Chapter 57: The Knight and the Rose
After running some distance, Herag could no longer sense the movement there, so he began to walk in the direction of the exit.
After more than forty minutes, Herag reached the exit, and he didn't see anyone else along the way.
The four horses at the exit were still there, and in addition to one more carriage, Herag estimated that it should have been the carriage of the three third-class wizard apprentices.
Herag mounted his horse and began to gallop, preparing to make his way back to the Moonlit Glades.
"Judging from the words of those three people, Malcolm should have found out that Rune had died in the Moonlight Forest, and calculated the account on the head of the Moonlight Forest, and gave a reward......
He took off his robe and changed into a set of civilian clothes.
Herag kicked the horse in the belly, and the horse ran faster.
After more than an hour, Herag was a little relieved to see that there were no pursuers behind him.
"Huh?" Suddenly, there was the sound of swords clashing in front of him, as well as cries and shouts of killing.
When Herag approached on horseback, he found that a group of robbers was besieging a convoy.
There were about thirty robbers, as well as crossbowmen.
The convoy numbered just over a dozen people, and was struggling to support the fortifications with horse-drawn wagons, and many corpses were lying around.
"The brothers work harder, and they can't hold it anymore. This is an aristocracy, there must be something good! "The leader of the robbers, a man with a long scar on his face, was standing on the perimeter and directing the attack.
The strongest in the convoy was a knight-level powerhouse in his forties and fifties, who stood alone at the middle of the carriage, holding a huge shield to block the attack of these robbers.
Herag just glanced at it and continued on his way, not wanting to cause more trouble.
He rode by galloping by, and the scar man not far away noticed him, and at a glance he saw the two rings on Herag's hands, and his eyes lit up: "Stop him!" There's something good in this man! ”
Seven or eight arrows rang out at the sound and headed straight for Herag's upper body, as if trying to shoot him down.
Herag had received the dark blue warning in advance, and ducked the arrows with his body low.
"This man has some skills, shoot his horse!" The bandit leader continued to command.
A few arrows were quickly stuck in the horse's buttocks and belly, and the horse fell to the ground with a few wails.
Herag tumbled and fell to the ground, staring at the bandits with cold eyes.
"Hahaha! Shoot well and finish him off! The leader of the robbers laughed, and immediately ordered seven or eight men to divide up and rush towards Herag.
At the same time, several crossbowmen began to aim at Herag, and arrows were fired at him.
"Ice Shield!"
"Mana Shield!"
"Dark Energy Shield!"
The arrows bounced off the heavy shield and landed on the ground, causing no damage to Herag.
The bandit leader's smile froze on his face, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart at the sight of these strange shields on Herag.
Sonor!
Herag drew his shiny sword and charged at the bandits.
The arrows were still coming at them, and without exception, they were all bounced off.
Herag's physical fitness was now knightly, and he approached these robbers in a few steps, and flew high with a swing of his sword over a man's head.
The swords and arrows of these robbers had no effect on Herag, and they could not break through even the most basic defenses.
In the blink of an eye, Herag killed one man in one step, and all eight robbers who rushed over fell to the ground, blood spilling all over the ground.
"Weird...... Monster! The robbers were terrified when they saw this, they had never seen the shield on Herag's body, something they could not comprehend.
The gang of robbers began to flee, and even the convoy next to them could not be cared for.
The leader of the robbers ran the fastest, and without saying a word, he ran first, mounted a horse and began to gallop.
Herag's gaze locked on him, and a corrosive arrow in his hand quickly took shape, heading straight for the bandit leader.
Shout!
Corrosive arrows pierced the robber leader's neck, knocking him off his horse.
A terrible blood hole appeared in the robber leader's neck, and the edge of the hole was black with corrosive energy.
The bandits completely lost their backbone and began to flee separately.
Herag didn't bother to chase them, and it was a waste of his time to chase them down.
He looked back at the horses lying on the ground, which were no longer angry, and walked towards the convoy.
"Thank you, Lord Mystery, for coming to the rescue! The Allison family will always remember the kindness of adults! When the middle-aged knight saw Herag coming, he immediately knelt down on one knee and thanked him.
"Hello, my name is Yuffie Allison." On the carriage behind stepped a richly dressed aristocratic girl, with a very delicate face and white stockings wrapped around her calves.
Herag glanced at her lightly and did not speak, turned his head to the middle-aged knight and asked, "Can you buy a horse?" ”
"Buy...... Buying a horse? The middle-aged knight didn't react a little, and then said: "Of course you can, you don't need to buy it, just ride it directly if you like it." ”
Herag nodded, picked a strong black horse, rode on, and then threw two gold coins on the ground and rode away.
Yuffie walked over and picked up the middle-aged knight: "Uncle Shanny, I think he is the knight I am looking for." ”
Knight Shanni sighed helplessly: "Miss Yufe, that lord just now is not a knight, but a legendary wizard, don't provoke him." ”
"But it's all written in knight novels, knights will always appear when the princess is in danger, rescue the princess and live happily ever after." Yuffie also has a novel in her hand called "The Knight and the Rose".
Shanny knew that his young lady had recently been addicted to knightly novels, and said, "Miss Yuffie, let's get in the car first, and hurry home while these robbers are scared away." ”
"These two gold coins need to be put away." Shanny carefully picked up the two gold coins that Herag had dropped, wiped the dust from them, and placed them in his arms.
It was nothing more than a trivial matter in the process of getting to Herag, and to his annoyance was that the damned bandits had delayed his journey.
There were no stops along the way, except for a place to camp and rest for a while at night, and let the horses eat grass and drink water to rest.
Three days later, Herag arrived at the Red Mountain Station.
As soon as he arrived, he felt a tense atmosphere, and the inn was guarded by a full wizard and three third-class wizard apprentices.
"There was no one there when I left." There's something strange about Herag.
"Show me your runestone." A chubby third-class wizard apprentice came to check his identity.
Herag honestly handed the rune stone over, and the fat wizard checked it and returned it to Herag without finding any problems.
He then took out a bamboo-like piece and said, "This is the Faceless Bamboo Joint, you can take it and suck it with your mouth." ”
Herag did so, and after a few inhales, white smoke came out of his ears, nose, and mouth, and the white smoke dissipated in a few moments.
