Chapter 7: Natural Enemies (2)
"What's wrong?" Wella sensed that something was wrong with Hyde's expression.
"She spotted three strange people in the northeast who were slowly approaching us, and had determined that two of them were female, but there was a particularly powerful guy who couldn't be sure of gender. ”
"Particularly strong, how strong?"
Hade hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "It should be a guy who is extremely close to the strength of the master level, he looks very young and will not be more than fifteen years old, because the aura of that person and the source power emanating from his body are very weird, the knight of Winter Chrysanthemum did not get too close for the sake of caution." However, according to her, all three wore noble insignia, but she couldn't tell which family they were. ”
Hearing what Hide said, everyone was a little curious. It is simply unheard of to have an extraordinary genius who is only a teenager and can be extremely close to the master level.
"Maybe it's because of the special cultivation lineage, which makes you look younger?" Majik interjected.
"It's also possible, but I'm really not impressed, I still know most of the leaders of the imperial aristocracy's generation, and there are really no strange guys who can't confirm their gender from their appearance. Wella said slowly, frowning.
After pondering for a while, the red-haired countess continued: "Since they are both imperial nobles, there should be no danger, since they came to the vicinity of the West's territory, maybe for hunting special magical beasts or something. We don't have to deliberately avoid it, just treat it as a coincidence. ”
Everyone had no objections, and they were probably a little curious about what even high-level assassins couldn't be sure of their gender, and what a young high-level powerhouse looked like.
Hede was also curious, and there was no similar candidate in his special memory, "Could it be related to the strange feeling I just had?"
After hurriedly eating, everyone rested and chatted, waiting for each other's arrival.
Soon after, everyone in the group felt something strange, and there was a strange aura from the northeast that was sometimes invisible and sometimes surging, and this strange aura mixed with some irrepressible source power gave people the feeling of being both human and demonic, very unstable and elusive.
"Are they fighting?" asked Sima timidly.
"It's not like it, it's a bit like the performance of Liliang who can't control himself. Head explained. At the same time, I also felt very strange, with such a powerful liliang, it should be a very famous special inheritance of a wealthy family, "Among the wealthy nobles of the empire, there are indeed a few people I am not familiar with or even don't understand at all, which family has such a strange inheritance?"
A few minutes later, Hade and the others finally saw the three figures in gray hooded cloaks, and the three of them stopped for a moment at the corpses of the two ogres that Hade had killed just now, and continued to walk towards the group.
After the two sides got closer, the two women in front lifted their hoods and showed their faces.
One was a young woman with short dark green hair and sharp eyes, this woman was very thin and tall, almost about the same height as Des, but her demeanor seemed very vigilant, and her gray-black pupils kept turning to look at Hade and the others.
The other, a more mature woman with a smile on her face, but with her silver-purple curls and lips was a bit special, she unfastened her cloak and put it on her arm, revealing her plump body in close-fitting purple leather armor, with two sheathed swords hanging from her waist.
The silver badges on the chests of these two women all indicate the earl titles of the two, which are the hook claws of some kind of demon worm and the shape of the scorpion tail, from the design of this badge that represents the direction of the family and inheritance, it shows that both of them should be some kind of demon worm type inheritance cultivators, although their strength is not as good as that of Weina, but it is not much different.
The purple-haired woman narrowed her silver-purple eyes and smiled, "Excuse me, I'm Eskein Srpion, a member of the Insect family, and this is Glenn Mantes, who is also a family member. ”
Hed and Wella looked at each other, and Wella spoke, "Hello, I'm Wella West from the Westside family in Roland City, who is this one behind me?"
"I'm sorry," explained the purple-haired woman Eskein, "it turned out to be Lord Wella of the House of West, and this is Lord Eudrida of House Insecot. ”
Hed was relieved that he was a son of the Insecat family who wanted to garrison the northern part of the empire, but it was a bit strange that the Lord had never removed his cloak and it was difficult to distinguish his gender from his name and the name of his family. And judging from Wella's expression, it was the first time she had heard of the name.
"Lord Eulturida is not good at dealing with outsiders, please forgive Count Wella, then this should be near Roland City, how far is it from Wollman City?"
Although she felt that the question asked by the other party was a bit strange, Wella gave a general explanation of the direction and distance of Wolman City, the main city of the Amazon family's territory.
"It's so far away. The purple-haired woman Eskein muttered, and then explained, "I'm sorry, neither of us is very good at identifying the way, and this trip with Lord Eitri Ruida is really difficult, I have been lost dozens of times on the way, I am ashamed, I am ashamed." ”
Hearing her say so frankly, Haide and the others felt slightly funny, it was really difficult to evaluate this kind of behavior when two road idiots went out with a wealthy kid who didn't know anything.
Since it was the first time they met, Wella politely asked if she could help. However, the purple-haired woman Eskein, who was in charge of negotiating with everyone, politely refused, saying that the three of them had come here at will and had no special purpose.
Eskein then politely asked if the three of them could rest here, and of course Hade and the others had no reason to object, so the two groups split up and sat on either end of the col.
At Hide's signal, Magik cast a soundproofing spell to envelop the crowd. Then they whispered about the mysterious Insecot family.
"Your Excellency Wella, the Insecat family should be the wealthy family guarding the northern frontier of the empire, right?"
Hand wanted to ask Wella if he knew anything about this family, because this mysterious wealthy family happened to be a big nobleman he was not very familiar with, and in his special memory, this family had always been very mediocre or stable, and had not produced any great figures, and had been silently stationed in the north of the empire, without making any mistakes and without any special achievements. Even the stories that have been circulated in the outside world are extremely rare.
"Well, I only know that this family was transferred to the north to garrison in the early days of the founding of the country, and has rarely been in contact with other families for many years, and I heard that this family seems to be a demonic worm-type cultivation inheritance called Emperor Horseshoe Crab, but the specific strength is not very clear. ”
Emperor Horseshoe Crab Hede frowned slightly, this giant demon insect is extremely rare, but also extremely strong, known as the king of demon insects, the adult emperor horseshoe crab has an indestructible carapace and extremely powerful huge claws, there are four pairs of hook claws on the side of the body The land speed is amazing, the horn wings behind it can make it fly at high speed in the air, and a pair of purple-shaped side-legs and sword-shaped armor tail on the tail make it swim extremely fast in the water.
This kind of demon insect is simply an all-powerful sea, land and air amphibious monster, in addition to not being able to attack magic, the physical defense and magic resistance are extremely high, and it is almost a perfect insect-type monster. In this way, according to the connection between the cultivation inheritance and the crystal nucleus consumed, the ability of the descendants of the Seckert family is also extraordinary, no wonder this Lord Euldrida has a huge source power that cannot be suppressed at all.
The man took off his cloak. Sima reminded everyone in a whisper.
Haven and the others couldn't hide their curiosity, and they all pretended to look over there casually.
