Toy soldiers
Although everyone felt that the war between the two countries was not a good sign, after all, this was a matter for the Bantu people, and it had nothing to do with them, and now they should really go back to Hutton Marr.
"In that case, we took our leave. ”
Charlotte got up and was about to leave, but Volland followed suit, saying, "Don't worry, I'll tell the Order about the Ice Dragon Skasa." ”
At this time, Thorde asked, "Who is the ice dragon Skasa?"
"As I said earlier, it's one of the three dragons created by the Dragon Blaster Bakarso. ”
"Dragon King Bakar, apostle, right?"
"Yes. ”
"We've even killed Long-legged Lotus, so why can't we deal with one, the Apostle's men?"
Charlotte was taken aback and asked, "Are you going up the mountain to challenge the ice dragon Skasa?"
Thorde pointed his thumb at himself and shouted, "Will I miss such an adventurous opportunity?"
"However, the Ice Dragon Skasa is strong, and the three of you are probably not opponents!" Woland worried, "It's better to go back to the Duchy and report this matter first, and then make a decision!"
"You also heard from the deputy patriarch just now, the principality warned them not to go near the border, and they never wanted to ask the principality for help. After Laurent said this, he asked, "How likely is it that the Order will send someone to help?"
Wallland was silent. He is just an ordinary clergyman, he can't do the affairs of the Order, he can only report the situation truthfully, but he can't guarantee anything. Moreover, after all, the Order is an organization attached to the principality, and there should be no position to help the Bantu.
That said, the chances of the Order coming to help the Bantu are very low.
"Well, it's simple. Charlotte laughed, "How about we help you as adventurers and solve the Ice Dragon Skasa?"
Orka said: "No need, you can go back, this is our Bantu own business." The patriarch summoned me up to the mountain and gave me something to order, but I was out of company. ”
"Hey!"
Thorde failed to stop Orka and watched him walk out of Barrena's house.
"Well......" Woland sighed, "then I will take my leave." ”
With that, he left alone.
The three of Charlotte looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but they didn't expect their kindness to be rejected categorically, which really made people laugh and cry.
However, Barrena on the side smiled and said, "This is the first time I have met a stranger who is willing to take the initiative to help the Bantu tribe." ”
"So what, your deputy patriarch doesn't want us to help. ”
"Not everyone is so xenophobic!" Barrena let out a hearty laugh, "I'll take you to Renault, and he'll tell you what to do." ”
With that, she stepped out of the tent and beckoned the three of them to come along. The three of them naturally followed, and it didn't take long for them to walk a few dozen meters, and they came to a similar-looking tent, with a bull's head totem standing next to it, the same as the one at the door of Ballena's house.
Barrena called out to Reynolds and left alone, after which a man named Reynolds came out of the tent.
It was a burly and stout middle-aged Bantu man, with a large beard, a bald head, and a huge wine bag in his hand, which he took a sip from time to time.
"Oh, you say you're going to help us, that's great!" said Renault, in a voice that is even more bold than Barrena's, "I'm about to ask you for a favor! You've been to the ridge, and there's a path beside the road that leads to the mountains, and there's a jungle on the other side. I'd like to ask you guys to do some research!"
Thorde frowned and said, "We are adventurers, not private investigators. ”
However, Charlotte said, "No problem, we're willing to help." ”
Seeing that the captain did not refuse, Thorde stopped talking at the moment.
"Okay, I'll tell you the details. ”
Renault pulled out a few pieces of the necklace from his pocket and arranged them neatly, and it could be seen that some of the letters were arranged into a single word, which seemed to be the name of a person.
"This is a fragment of the necklace of Balrena's brother Charlie, which I recently stumbled upon in the snowy jungle. He disappeared when he was very young, never found, and at that time he also asked a sorcerer to divination, and the result was very unlucky - saying that if he was teased by Skaza, his heart would be permanently damaged......"
Charlotte thought to herself: This divination is really detailed and obscure, anyway, it must be a disaster.
"Adventurer, these pieces are all found in the snowy mountains and jungles, but they are still a little bit close, and they can't be combined into a complete necklace, I hope you can go there and find the last pieces. I want to return the full necklace to Balrena. Alas, Barrena is also a poor man, her husband and children have died at the hands of the monsters who follow Skaza, and I hope this necklace will give her some comfort. ”
Although they don't know what to do, the three of them still accept the commission, which may be part of the adventurous life.
————————————
This time they went up the mountain, and the three of them were not stopped, and even those Bantu people let them go without even asking the purpose, probably thinking that with their strength, there would be no danger in going up the mountain.
However, they did not go up the mountain, but followed the remote path that Renault said, and walked into the snow-capped mountain jungle, where there were trees covered by snow, and there were three saber-toothed tigers in front of them that looked very similar to the ice-toothed Shavante, but they were smaller in size, they were called the Ice Tiger by the Bantu people, and they were a kind of fierce beast that often appeared on the snow-capped mountains, even the Bantu people were difficult to tame them, so the beast master Ruug was quite capable.
Seeing someone going up the mountain, the three-headed ice tiger also pounced!
However, the three of them just warmed up, and with one kick, one knife, and one shot, they casually killed the three-headed ice tiger.
According to Renault, the monsters on the snowy mountains were not so violent and fierce, but since the awakening of the ice dragon Skasa, they have become much more dangerous, which has led to the collective migration of the Bantu people to the bottom of the mountain, on the border with the principality. And the Ice Tiger brought by the Beastmaster is not so aggressive (although it has been tamed), it seems that the restlessness of these monsters is indeed related to the ice dragon Skasa, and it is no wonder that Renault would say that these monsters are following Skasa.
The events that followed fully confirmed this, and on the way on, the three of them found some "shrubs" formed by the accumulation of cold ice, and from the ice trees, ice was constantly generated.
Iceness is a common low-level elf that resembles a five-pointed star made of ice with a black face in the middle. As one of the lowest-level elves, Bingnais is often the first summoning technique learned by beginner summoners, as long as you create some ice attributes, you can summon several ice naiss from it, which is a very practical spell for beginner summoners. Because as long as there is an ice attribute, Ice Ness will appear, so it is not uncommon to encounter them in such a cold area, but as soon as they saw Charlotte and the three, they immediately floated over, condensed an ice pick, and stabbed at the three of them!
Charlotte was caught off guard, thinking that these elves were not aggressive, but she didn't expect to launch an attack without hesitation, only to raise her knife to block. At this time, more Ice Ness gathered and attacked the three of them together!
Only then did the three of them determine that these elves should have been controlled by Skarsa and became berserk, so they would not hesitate to attack the humans they saw!
However, after all, they were just some low-level elves, and the three of them easily used ordinary moves to dispel them, and by the way, they cleared the surrounding ice wood, so that Ice Ness could no longer spawn.
After that, they kept encountering the Ice Tiger and Ice Nets, and even the Goblins living on the snowy mountains, which were just a piece of cake for them, and they came to the depths of the snowy mountain jungle at dusk.
This time, the trio encountered some trickier enemies!
Several humanoids with hedgehog heads hovered ahead, their bodies bloated, their funny striped clothes, their elongated arms without joints, and a boxing glove at the end.
The group of humanoid objects made a "creaking" sound when they walked, which was quite harsh.
When they spotted the three of them, they turned their heads and saw that they had red bandanas on their faces, a pair of bright red eyes, and two rows of grinning white fangs, but they looked like stuffed animals, and there was no sense of horror.
Rather, they're moving stuffed animals!
Suddenly, one of them punched out, and his body slid in the direction of the fist, and instantly rushed into front of Thorde! Thorde was not to be outdone, staggered the opponent's fist, kicked in front of the door, but only had a soft touch, the other party was bounced out of the way, rolled on the ground, bounced up and stood firm, and there was no scar on his body!
"It's really a stuffed animal!" Salde shouted.
"It's not. The head appears to be plush, but the body is a puppet. Laurent judged.
"Is there a difference? they're just toy soldiers anyway. ”
"Yes, it's not easy to be hit by a piece of wood like this, and it's ......" Laurent pulled out his spear and shot the head of a toy soldier in front of him away, but the toy soldier's movements were not affected at all, and instead forced Laurent back with a punch.
And after the toy soldier repelled Laurent, he put his hands on his neck, and when he found that he had no head, he turned around and picked up his head, touched it, and pressed his head back again, and the action looked a little funny.
Laurent then said: "The attack on the head seems to be ineffective. ”
"If you can't hit the head, then hit the limbs!" Thorde snapped his knuckles with a snapping sound.
And Charlotte also pulled out the sword and summoned the magic sword of flames, and said with a smile: "With slashing and flames, it should be able to do it, right?"
