42 Blood Shadow

There was not a long distance between the Madir outpost and Mushantil, so the villagers did not move quickly, and it took them a few days to pack their things, and soon they reached the pine forest on the shore of Lake Mushantil, which was less than a day's journey from the city, and on the way, Penny was asking about the civil strife in Lesserman:

"Actually, it has nothing to do with us backcountrymen, in fact, ......" Berserker Spinnere pouted disdainfully, and after a few days of contact, they had become familiar with these strangers: "It's just a bunch of guys sitting on top of our heads boring dog-eat-dog." ”

"Dog eat dog?" Penny coughed, a little incredulous.

"It's because of the Iron King's succession. Sbinier added: "The previous Iron King died of illness three years ago, leaving behind a son and a daughter, and the witches would not like His Royal Highness the prince and proposed to let the princess inherit the throne, but His Royal Highness is a very capable man......"

Penny suddenly realized that the so-called Iron King was the titular king of Lysserman, and the leader of the Berserker clan, but since four hundred years ago, the ownership of this position no longer relied entirely on blood evaluation, but on the opinion of the Witch Society.

Because in the eyes of the Witches, an uncontrolled Berserker clan leader is not safe.

Now, there was clearly something wrong with the rule, but one detail made Penny frown: "If this prince is so capable, why wouldn't the witch support him?"

"Because he's been at odds with the Witch Society, and is said to be in collusion with evil creatures. ”

Penny nodded silently, it seems that this kind of state form of coexistence of church and government is indeed impossible without contradictions, so the matter of the prince is worth exploring.

"Actually, it's all about our birds, we only care about hunting, and at most we care about when the bald bastards from the south will come over, and then we can just copy the guys and cut them down, and it's a waste of brains to think about the big guys!" said this, and said no more.

Hearing these words, Sean, who was from Searle, was embarrassed.

When noon came, all the more than 100 villagers plus a dozen warriors, as well as elders, witches, and paladins stationed down to light a fire and prepare to cook, Penny sat next to a bonfire and meditated, when he suddenly saw Serra coming over with a water bag: "Mr. Sean, do you want water?"

"Thank you. Penny smiled and nodded, seeing Sierra crouching with her cheek over and looking at herself, "What's the matter?"

"No, nothing. Serra shook her head, but didn't mean to change her position.

"Then why are you looking at me?"

"This ...... There shouldn't be a violation of the law......" Serra blushed.

"You still said that day...... Forget it......" Penny muttered, bringing the water bladder to his mouth, and suddenly became alert, "Where did this water come from?"

"It's the lake......" Serra said, her face suddenly changed, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth: "Poisonous?"

The people around him, even the elder Ocrus, began to vomit blood. Even if you hold a weapon, it is difficult to stand firmly.

Among them, the experienced paladins also had shocked expressions on their faces.

Ordinary adventurers know that water in the wild cannot be drunk indiscriminately, and if there are spellcasters in the team, it is necessary to detect the spell of the poisonous surname, but in fact, this zero-level spell does not work every time, such as this time.

Thankfully, Penny had seen the poison somewhere.

"Enemy attack!"

The watchful berserker roared wildly, several huge fireballs flew into the makeshift camp, and in the earth-shattering explosion, there was a cry of dad and mother!

Four red figures appeared in the air, and at the same time, more than thirty black-clothed men armed with sharp blades appeared on the periphery of the camp!

Penny saw the tattoos on the bald heads of these men, and his heart immediately sank, and there were already frightened cries around him:

"Red-robed mage?!"

"Dear barbarian friends of the north, the journey has come to an end. The red-robed smile in the center looked chilling: "Do you want to enter the lake yourself?"

A group of people who drank the poisonous water on the ground were all pale, the people who were knocked down by the flames and poisons were still wailing, several spellcasters who accidentally drank water rushed into the streets, the berserkers and holy warriors were strong and could still support their bodies, Serra saw a few children on the side who were close to dying of breath because of the white foam at the mouth of the poison, and wanted to use the name of slowing down the poison, but found that they could not sense the slightest divine grace, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

"This ...... Belch...... Miss Paladin, it's useless, don't waste your efforts, in fact, if we had known about this situation earlier, we should have informed the Church of Tyre in advance not to meddle in things. The red-robed mage spread his hands and said helplessly, "But it's too late now." ”

Seeing the children dying in excruciating pain, Serra glared angrily at the red-robed mage in the air: "You cruel fellows!

"There is no such thing as cruelty. The elder Okrus said in a calm and low voice, "The events of this day, along with all the memories you have given us in the past four hundred years, we will always give them back one day. ”

"Elder, it's not a good habit to fight with a cannon, you shouldn't be able to use a single arcane right now, even if you will repay the hatred of this day, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for that time, will you?" a group of red-robed robes let out a playful laugh.

The faces of those in the makeshift camp, who had not yet been poisoned, gradually showed a look of despair.

"Okay, but can you answer my question, old man? The elder looked at the soldiers who were surrounded by toxins and were exhausted, sighed secretly, and nodded a little resignedly: "Although it is not surprising that the red-robed mage would take advantage of the fire to loot during the Letherman civil strife, it seems that you already knew that we were coming?"

"This question, the elder should take it to hell, be careful!" The red-robed mage suddenly had a pupil, and a point of light appeared not far from his feet, bursting into a circle of light, and the five red-robed mages were all illuminated by this aperture, only to hear three soft sounds, and the flying effect of the three red-robed mages was instantly broken, and they fell to the ground dozens of feet below with a scream, and before everyone could react, they fell into three messes of flesh.

Penny discarded the disenchanting scroll, which had run out of words, pulled out another scroll, and began to chant quickly.

There are quite a few magic scrolls harvested in the half-plane, and his spellcasting ability is limited, so he can only use scrolls to achieve certain tactical effects.

"This kid can still cast spells and kill him!" The two surviving mages were shocked and angry, and quickly fell back to the ground, using flying magic to appear would have a good deterrent effect, and it was also convenient to carry out high-altitude bombing, but they obviously didn't expect that someone would be able to avoid the poison. And it did so much damage to them!

The black-clad assassins around him were also very dumbfounded, and listened to the order, hesitated for half a second before rushing to the camp, but it was enough for the mage to guide the second scroll.

Rumble!

A wall of fire appeared on the way to the black-clothed assassin's charge, and several assassins were caught off guard, ignited by the rising tongue of fire, and the emergency brake behind them caused another burst of scrambling!

Penny walked over to the elder and pulled out a 'Suppress Disease' scroll and began chanting.

The two attacking red-robed red-robed faces also began to cast spells, and a wall of fire dozens of feet long was obviously unable to stop the assassin's charge, and they made a small circle and rushed towards the camp again.

After all, in their opinion, there is only one person left in the camp who is still a threat, and it is really not difficult to deal with it.

"Block them!"

The battle situation changed abruptly, seeing that the three flying red-robed mages turned into meat pies in a few breaths, it seemed that there was no resistance on their side, and in the temporary camp, several strong berserkers and holy warriors barely resisted the invasion of the poisonous surname on the physique, and they waved their weapons and charged over, colliding with a group of assassins!

The red-robed mage's spell lifted the wall of fire, and noticing the scene in the camp, waved his hand a little solemnly: "Retreat." ”

A ray of light sprinkled on the elder Okrus from between Penny's hands, Okrus was refreshed, felt that the toxins in his body were suppressed, and began to cast spells, the boiling heat gathered around his body, and soon, ten huge orbs of flame flew into the retreating group of assassins, and suddenly there was another roar!

The fifth-level spell flame mark, such a powerful spellcaster, is enough to turn the tide of the battle, not to mention that Penny also used the same scroll to suppress the toxins in everyone's body, this surprise attack has actually been ruined.

The enemy fled as fast as they could, and the crowd fell to the ground feebly, looking at their dead compatriots and grieving.

"We can't go any further, we have to find a safe place to hide. Ocruz inspected the mournful camp and sighed: "This spell can only suppress the onset of toxins, but if it can't be detoxified after a while, it will continue to work, and when these assassins come to attack again, we will be in danger, we must find a safe place to station, and then slowly remove the toxin." ”

Speaking of this, the elder glanced at Penny suspiciously, "You didn't drink water just now, do you know this toxin?"

"Silent executioner, that's the name of this poison. Penny looked at the elder's gaze even more puzzled, and suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly remedied: "I saw it in a book." ”

"A book?" The elder was a little strange, and the poison that had not been recognized by the Lesselman elders for hundreds of years would actually appear on the Cormier Magic Guild's 'one book'?

And he also discovered that since the appearance of these red-robed mages, this mage from Cormier has been a little wrong, and he can't say what is wrong.

"How did these red robes find here?" said the witch SalΓ©fen frowned.

"I think I understand......" Penny walked over to a red-robed corpse that had fallen to his death, uncovering the placket of the red-robed robe, revealing a large hole in his left chest.

"Heartless?" the pupils of everyone who came forward shrank.

Those who knew more were even more surprised, this organization seemed to be in opposition to the Serles.

"For more questions, I think the lady would be happy to answer them. Penny was silent, and turned his head to the other side of Lake Mushantil, where a typical mask-wearing Lythman witch galloped on a breathless horse, followed by several sword-wielding riders, apparently her pursuers.
