Mero
Mero, the slave market here has just risen in recent years, it's not that this country supports this industry, it's just that the war has become uncontrollable, and more people are displaced every day and become slaves, just for a bite to eat, and parents sell their children, because they won't live well around themselves. The vast majority of children are deceived and forcibly taken away. Minerals are also very well developed here, and slave traders need more manpower to grab the mines from other slave traders, and there is some bloodshed every day.
Recently, the Knights have settled in Mero, and no one knows why, but these slave traders are expected to have some restraint, because you don't know when you will meet a knight full of enthusiasm and cut off his wealth directly, and there is no room for refutation. Knight Cliff is such a person, young and vigorous, 19 years old this year, he has been a member of the Knights for about 2 years, this is his first actual combat, and he is excited that his training for several years can finally pay off. A blonde hair is a testament to his sunny nature, and in the past few days of searching for the witch's traces, the Knights have been busy inside and out, and there is no news that they know where the witch is, as if they have evaporated, and where the church got it.
Cliff was tasked with hunting down the witch and leaving it to the Inquisition, and the priest of their squad said that the witch had the power of hell in it, and she felt it yesterday. She is the granddaughter of Lorraine, the founder of this order, and a leader in the use of holy magic among the younger generation. Now over a hundred years old, Lorraine is still one of the (strongest) knights of St. George and Cliff's mentor.
"Hell energy, God is taking care of me this time!" Cliff was both complaining and excited. "Can you feel where this energy is coming from? The Knights have been searching for days without any clues, and ordinary people will not know the whereabouts of the witch, so it is not bad to see that it has not been lost to the soul. ”
"Yes, but it will take several days to locate it, since it appeared yesterday, I have already started locating it, and it won't be long before I know the location of one of the witches. ”
It's noon, a few days of heavy rain, so that Furon has to travel overnight, and he can only rest temporarily in the trees, the humid environment can't make a fire at all, he can only use fire magic to heat his body, against the cold night, the rain stopped in the morning, so that Furon can catch his breath, and he can see Mero over this mountain.
The muddy mountain road, Fren's pants were covered with yellow mud, and now he just wanted to change his clothes by the river, find a hotel to rest and solve the problem of food and clothing. "Raphael, you should be able to feel where the witch is, after all, your mission is this, you angels should have a special way of positioning. ”
"Of course you can, but you can only perceive it within a certain range, each of them is very powerful, the church has sent 4 knights against them, you alone can only say that it is very dangerous. ”
"Of course I know the danger, and from the time I saw the information that the church has only a little information, I feel that this time I can only break it one by one, but I need to investigate it first. Flon gasped in reply, listening to Raphael's meaningless concern.
"At night, it's the best time to investigate, you just need to wait for me in the inn to investigate, the witch's sense of you is probably very strong. ”
Gradually approaching the river, Fren knew that this place was not far from Mero, dragged off his shoes, thinking that his teammates should not arrive in two days, although it was a safer way, but now there was no time to be patient with the Knights, and it was estimated that they were more anxious to find the witch than Fren.
Church knights are more desperate for honor than any warrior, and even if you are rich, you can't buy them. When they first came to this continent, their team interrogated a knight, and in the end, they didn't get any information.
Drag your muddy clothes off and get on a new outfit, pack your bags and head to town to find a hotel.
Usually didn't pay much attention to Raphael's movements, and Fren found that he would only follow silently, as long as he didn't ask questions, he would basically not answer questions.
"I said you, you should fight with me, after all, it's your mission, I'm not sure if I can win against 13 witches, it's too dangerous, so I have to use the power of the church. ”
"Don't worry, it's not unreasonable for the church to summon me this time, there must be a witch's power that can match me to summon me, I will only deal with that witch, and you can figure out the rest yourself. ”
"Really a good brother who solves my problems, tsk. Fren smacked his lips, feeling that this broken angel was really unreliable, the witch currently didn't know the location except for these three, and she had to leave a live interrogation, and the remaining one had to be solved with the team, and there were interrogation experts.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I found that there were many signs of demon hunters here, it seems that the church not only sent knights, otherwise it would be impossible to leak the news, they also hired some demon hunters, Fren himself has an angel to understand the information of the witch, and this time the church only summoned one.
While observing the hotel, I walked to the counter, and I guess there is no room for this battle, so I can sleep outside. "Is there still a room, please? ”
"I'm sorry, there are no rooms in our hotel for the time being, guests, if you want to stay, you can go to another house. The front desk responded with a standard business smile.
"Understood, thank you. ”
Walking out of the hotel, I looked at the cloudy sky, the sky is not beautiful, let's go back to the river just now to rest, no one feels good.
Dragging his tired body, Furon slowly returned to the place he had just been.
"I have to say that the grass is still quite comfortable, and it feels like I can't live without it. ”
"I don't want to say it, but if you fall asleep here, you may not be able to see me when you wake up. Raphael said this, but Furren could no longer hear and fell asleep.
"Hmmm... Let him go, at least when the time comes, you can complete the reconnaissance quickly. ”
The space around Furren gradually collapsed to envelop Furlen, who grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared......
The surroundings are eerie, monotonous, repetitive, with dead trees on both sides, fog behind them, only a small path, and the river has become very small, and it will pass with a slight leap, and it will return to the original point as you walk forward. At first Fren thought he was dreaming again, but after at least two hours, nothing happened, and the angel did not come.
Everything on my body is still there, but the luggage is missing. "Unlucky, where will I get the money to stay in a hotel. Fren could only pray that the angels understood the importance of wealth in the human world.
"I had to keep going, and I couldn't help but be trapped in it. Flon dusted off his ashes and continued to set off, the fog behind him still refusing to dissipate, and not only that, but the fog was already low to the top of the trees.
"Heh, is it going to be over? The fog gets thicker and thicker, but there seems to be someone dancing ahead. ”
The farther he went, the louder the cheerful voice became, and Fren saw a large iron gate, and in front of it stood a feline subhuman, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, which was the only costume of the Celestial Chamber, and did not belong to Aviin.
"The book says that all the subhumans have disappeared, and I don't know why. ”
The cat subhuman looked at Fren with brass bell-like eyes, "That's a good thing you humans do, Lord Alama saved most of the subhumans two hundred years ago, and we continue to live here, although we hate humans very much, but it's all fate to come here, and it must be people who are physically and mentally exhausted to trigger the magic circle there." ”
Such a hidden formation, which has not been detected by the church, and the user has considerable attainments, is it one of the 13 witches?
"I'm really hungry, I've been shopping for a long time. ”
"Don't worry, everything here is free, you can rest assured that you can live and eat, my name is Aaron, what do you call it." ”
"Michael Fren, you can call me Old Mai or Fren, Mr. Aaron. ”
"Can you tell my gender? ”
Walking up the stairs from under the iron door, Aaron did not open the iron door, but opened a small door to the left of the iron door.
"Is this gate an ornament of yours, I thought I could see what a magnificent view. ”
"The view, the small village is not worth mentioning, there are some ceremonies going on in it, so it is lively. ”
Fren saw several sub-humans in masks, drums and drumsticks in hand, dancing, dancing, and circling around the fire. With some unintelligible lyrics in his mouth, the fire burned more and more as if it had gained life. Children frolicked around, and adults sat in one place with wine in hand, watching the people dance, some whispering something.
"Mr. Fren?" Aaron's abrupt voice interrupted Fren's observation. "That's what keeps up. ”
"I think you still have humans living here......"
"Those are all Lord Alama's subordinates, they used to be mages in the human world, I don't dare to comment on the strength, but they are all good hands, Lord Alama She is a space archmage, and this space was created by her. ”
"I've always wanted to ask who Alama is, and I've wanted to see her when you say that. ”
"Seeing that she doesn't need any introduction, if you want to go, just keep going inside. ”
"Thanks, but I'd like to try your delicious taste first. ”
"I recommend our meat skewers, it's delicious!"
Even in this village, the fog has not lifted, but it has no effect on the people inside. Because Aaron was greeting others from afar, but Fren couldn't see anything at that time, it should be the witch's reason, Fren thought.
Aaron took Fren to a shop and said a few words to the owner and went back, this place is full of subhumans, humans can be said to be a rare species, everyone is staring at Fren. After ordering from the waiter, Flon held his face with one hand and looked bored.
"Hey, new kid?" a cat-like subhuman sat down in front of Fren.
