Chapter 1537: Deadly Customs
Jin Man did not go to the front line, but only disembarked near the front line, accompanied by the corps headquarters.
The southern defense line of Zhenwangzhou was directly commanded by the Commander's Office, and the commander was changed several times, the current one was Xun Qi, and an order was sent to the base camp to appoint Jin Man as the deputy commander of the theater.
"Giant Shark Legion?" Jin Man looked at the battle report in his hand, "Hey, call that ship back, quick! That's the ship from Nanmarsh Prefecture, and there are ballistas on it." ”
......
Jian Chao is the new president of the Wizarding Guild of Bia County, and this peripheral disciple of the Burning Heart Palace has become the president of the magic affairs of the first county, which is something that he never dreamed of.
Biya County is one of the northernmost counties in the state of the king, and it is a border but not a border, except for the occasional invasion of monsters, the enemy will not come down from Hengduan Mountain.
After taking office, the dream of the superintendent was gradually shattered, there were few magicians under his hands to manage, Xingbang City allocated very few resources, and there was no oil and water to fish in the chaos, but fortunately, there was still a market for magic communication, and he could barely maintain a decent life as a president.
On this day, the magician guarding the teleportation array came to him.
"Report to the president, there is a demonic beast attack on the border, and there is no force below to deal with it, I hope the county guild will send someone to deal with it. ”
"What about the foreign steward?" he habitually thought of his steward.
"Have you forgotten? You just sent Steward Qin to the front line yesterday, and you have already left the border of Biya County. ”
"Oh, yes!" Jian Chao then remembered that he had received a requisition order from Yang Kui yesterday morning, and the only person who could be mobilized in Biya County was Steward Qin, who had already been sent by him to hand over the errand.
"The military is too unreliable, obviously I just won the battle, and I still need support from the rear, and now that I have received good news, should I worry about being recruited again?" He had a lot of resentment.
"If it weren't for you, no! The communication array needs to be guarded daily, and you two can't leave. He overturned his thoughts, "The rest can only take care of the house, and the one sent to deal with the monster is to send snacks." Forget it, I'll go myself. ”
The demonic beasts coming down from Hengduan Mountain will not be very advanced, and the third-level demonic beasts will reach the sky, but they are not something that a wand-wielding magician and below can deal with, and they have to open a tower magician to be safe.
The only thing left to walk around in the entire county of Bia is to overtake themselves.
Although it is hard to track down Warcraft at the border, it has benefits, first, you can squeeze the protection fee of local tyrants, and second, there is a local custom of looking for magicians to vaccinate. I just heard about it not long ago, and I wanted to try it for a long time, but I didn't have a chance, but now the opportunity has finally come.
For these reasons, the inspector decided not to find his followers and flew alone to the northern border.
The county seat is not far from the border, and it can be reached in half a day, and the inspector first went to the village where the monster attack occurred, and there were indeed traces left by the monster.
Earth lizards?
He carefully examined the carcass of the slain livestock, and the wounds were densely covered with fine tooth marks, emitting a fishy stench mixed with a hint of sweetness.
That's right, it was the work of a highly venomous earth lizard in its saliva.
Earth lizard, a third-level earth-based demonic beast, with a head like a monitor lizard, a body like a dog, dragging two snake tails, can cast stone bullets and ground thorns, and has a rock skin talent, extremely high defense, it is a ferocious and cunning demonic beast, located at the top of low-level demonic beasts.
Their habitat is generally close to the middle layer of the Hengduan Mountains, where they feed on poisonous insects and birds, and only when they are extremely hungry will they run to the periphery, and they will eat livestock and people if they have no food.
"No one has been attacked, has anyone seen the beast?"
The locals gave a negative answer.
It's strange that the people here are so lucky, and they didn't even run into a ground lizard?
Jian Chao was very surprised, the earth lizard has a certain spiritual power, and it can find ordinary humans within a hundred meters, which belong to the magical beasts that are extremely harmful to humans.
"Looks like a ground lizard, I should be able to handle it. He looked to the southeast, and judging by the traces of the village, the earth lizard had fled there.
He followed the trail left by the earth lizard and flew past three villages, and when he reached the fourth, it was dark.
"Stay here for one night, and then find the earth lizard tomorrow. Maybe if someone is injured tonight, the local tyrants in the neighborhood will definitely offer a reward for catching it. "He had a plan in mind.
The village chief warmly entertained the head of the county's magic, who was a big man comparable to the county guard.
"What?
"Your Excellency, would you like to stay with us for a few more days?" the village chief worried.
"No, this beast is gone, the people around it are no match for it, I must find it as soon as possible, lest it kill people. "The inspector looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"I heard that there was a monster in the next village, so it should be in our village soon, you must help us!"
The village chief looked at the other villagers and said, "You stay for one night, and we will find a way to thank you." ”
"Well, let's stay for one night first. The inspector reluctantly agreed.
The village chief and the villagers were beaming.
That night, the villagers worked together to set up a table of decent wine and food, and the hospitality was supercharged, which was more lively than the New Year.
During the banquet, a young woman served food and poured wine, and the prosecutor took a few more glances at one of them, and the woman was immediately taken away.
Seeing that the food was almost over, the woman came out again, dressed up carefully, came to the side of the super, and said softly, "It's not too early, please go and rest." ”
Glancing around, the inspector saw that his eyes were full of anticipation, and he seemed to get a clear hint, so he proudly followed the woman away.
The best conditions in the village are the village chief's house, and the woman took the ultrasound to the backyard of the village chief's house, and there was actually a three-story small building.
Straight up to the third floor, it was a large suite, one living room and one bedroom.
The furnishings of the hall are very simple, but the large bathtub placed in the middle makes the eyes of the inspector light up.
The customs here are really special, and there is really a kind of borrowing, and even the furnishings at home are also exquisite, and it looks no worse than the ecstasy cave in the county town.
There is no shortage of experience in this area for the Elder Grown.
Life is better and easy to corrupt, obviously he chooses to let himself go.
"You sit down for a while, and the slave family will get some water. The woman probably thought the water in the tub was a little cold and ran downstairs.
The inspector was not careless, he looked inside and out, and his mental power swept around the small building to make sure that there were no earth lizards and possible potential enemies.
The woman returned with a bucket of hot water and poured it into the tub, and a faint mist rose and filled the room.
She reached into the tub and tried it, and then said, "Is it convenient for the elder to take a bath now?" ”
The inspector nodded and didn't say anything more.
In his opinion, only by talking less and enjoying more can he appear noble.
The woman's movements were rusty, and she was busy for a while before serving him to sit in the bathtub, and he was even more proud in his heart: It's a chick, that's great!
He leaned on the edge of the basin, his whole body relaxed, and let the woman massage his shoulders and back, the warm water just soaked until the pores opened, and there was a faint aroma in the water, a bit like a plant in the Hengduan Mountains.
"Butterfly," four words popped up in his head.
It is a flesh-sucking plant with long stems and yellowish flowers that emit a smell that distracts and interferes with thinking.
It is common in the cols of the Hengduan Mountains, one or two plants do not see the abnormality, if it grows a large area, it is very dangerous, people or creatures will be disoriented by the aroma when they get close, and finally starve to death in the stalk of the butterfly, and its flesh becomes its nutrients.
"No, how can an ordinary farmer have such a thing?"
As soon as he became alert, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of his head, and he didn't know what pierced his brain.
Then there was a "click" on both shoulders, and the shoulder blades were scratched.
"Hmm, hmm!" the prosecutor wanted to shout for help, but his mouth was covered by someone.
At this time, there were three more figures in the room on the third floor, all dressed as adventurers with masks covering their faces.
A female voice sounded: "This is the president of the Bea County Magic Guild? I feel that it is easier to deal with than a third-level demonic beast." ”
A male voice replied: "There is no team arrangement, let you face it head-on, and ensure that you die at his hands." ”
"Alright, don't talk nonsense! cut off his head and go back to Master Qian to receive the reward. Another male voice seemed to be the leader.
"It's the boss. "This voice is the woman who serves the superintendent.
"Hehe, unless you are a sixth-level combat power and can premonition of a crisis, no one can escape the trap of the boss. The first male voice spoke cheerfully.
"Yesterday the magician didn't have time to open the magic shield. The first female voice was slightly unconvinced.
The boss said: "Today I want to give a big credit to the fifth sister." "There are no less than five people in this team.
Early the next morning, the villagers found that the head of the county's magic chief had died tragically at the village chief's house, and even his head was missing.
The same or similar things are happening all the time on the border, all in rebel-controlled areas, and the magicians and knights sent by the rebels to investigate the Monsters were assassinated.
"Okay! Very well done!" Qianyou threw a bag of gold coins to the big man in front of him, "Keep working hard, the reward is still valid." ”
The Han left happily, and Qianyou cut off an ear from a human head, and then threw the human head into a jar, and after a while, the jar was full of blood.
The ears were put into the space ring by Qianyou.
He recorded in a notebook, Dong Zi of Baise County, a magician who opened the tower.
"Tut-tut, our Master Ding is really accurate, the demonic beasts on the border can attract so many magicians.
However, the hunt against the mage is a bit of that, and the magic will always know that it will definitely not be happy, although this operation is to quell the rebellion. ”
Qianyou sighed, between Ding Kui and the Magic Association, he still chose Ding Kui. Of course, Ding Kui wouldn't tell him that he was almost borrowed from someone in Pinggu Town, Xueling County.
He grew up in Tianmen Town, and he didn't think that the local customs were very special, so he naturally didn't think of using this design for foreign magicians.
Ding Kui has personal feelings, and that "One Plan" is aimed at the magicians sent to the border by the rebels.
Because he considered that the magic would always be unhappy, he didn't let Ruan Xingzhu and Li Fei know, otherwise as an insider, he would also be angered by the magic association.
"Huh?" Qianyou's expression moved, and he took out the jade talisman from his pocket, "Oh! there's a new mission." ”
