The Kud Mountains Chapter 2 Companions

The gray-robed old man walked to the side of the burly man standing on the far left, raised his hand and said, "This is Simmons, a witch doctor from the Uri Forest in the western province of Doct, he is one of the best healers in the entire Franda continent. ”

Simmons laughed heartily and said in a loud voice, "Death hasn't taken a single patient out of my eyes so far!"

"Hahaha, you're too confident, aren't you?" said the girl standing next to Simmons, the same girl who had laughed out loud when York IV spoke to Eastraed.

The gray-robed old man sighed and said, "Miss Celetia, the Duchess should have educated you many times about the lady's conduct. ”

Siletia shook her head: "That kind of thing is forgotten after listening to it, and it can't get into your mind at all." She smiled slyly again, "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Celetia Chamur, I'm from the province of Mad, and I'm not a mind reader. With that, Celetia winked at Israed, who shook his head helplessly, he wasn't very good at dealing with such an overly lively girl.

Now that Celetia had finished introducing herself, the gray-robed old man skipped her and walked directly to the woman to the right of Celetia. It was a tall and mature beauty, and her red curly hair made her even more charming, but the domineering in those gray eyes was a little stronger than that of York IV.

"This is Punirolo from the eastern province of Gonser. The old man introduced that Israel Ride secretly whistled in his heart, this woman is quite famous in the underground world of Frida - she is the leader of the largest gang in the country, "Midnight".

But the old man in the gray robe obviously wouldn't say anything about it, after all, the female leader of the gang had caused trouble to many official institutions affiliated with the royal family, and if it weren't for that prophecy, King York IV would never have let a dangerous person like Pnirollo come to him as if nothing happened.

Standing to the right of Punirolo was a lean and short man, with a pair of cloudy gray eyes that kept turning and looked rather obscene.

"My name is Earl. "I'll not ask the Archbishop to introduce me, and it's a waste of your time to pronounce my name." Earl bent his waist slightly, smiling flatteringly.

The gray-robed old man, known as the archbishop, obviously did not approve of Earl's words, and he still said in a voice that did not fluctuate: "When you are done, your name will spread like a warm wind from the south to every corner of the continent, and parents will give your name to their newborns, hoping that their children will become great heroes like you." ”

"Then I'm looking forward to that day. Earl's waist was bent lower, and even his expression was unrecognizable.

The archbishop walked past Earl and came to the last maiden, who was very delicate in appearance, so to speak, perfect, but her eyes were glazed over, making her look as if she were just a beautiful doll.

"Her name is Aso, she grew up in the small temple of the Faceless Church, and she is absolutely loyal to Lord Luciland. At the mention of the Lord, the archbishop clasped his hands to his heart, expressing his devotion as a Catholic. And Aso also reflexively made the same movements as the archbishop, but there was no fanaticism in his eyes.

After the archbishop finished introducing these people, Duke Qiao walked forward slightly and said, "Archbishop, please allow me to personally introduce this warrior I brought, when His Majesty the King gave me the order to hunt demons, I immediately thought of him. ”

Seeing the archbishop nodding, Duke Qiao cleared his throat and continued: "This swordsman named Xuan followed a merchant ship from the Eastern Continent to the Franda Continent, and followed a caravan from that ship to my territory Swardek. The news of his peerless sword skills soon spread in my territory, and it also attracted my attention, and I was also troubled by the harassment of several villages in the Spencer Mountains at that time, so I sent someone to find Xuan and sincerely asked him to destroy the Golem. And Xuan didn't disappoint me, it only took me one day to bring me the head of the Golem. ”

Duke Qiao gushed endlessly, but Xuan never glanced at him, nor did he react to the extremely brave self in Duke Qiao's mouth, as if Duke Qiao was talking about a person who had nothing to do with him at all.

Finally, Duke Qiao finished speaking, and there was a palpable pride in his expression, for he felt that the demon hunter he had brought must be the strongest of the few people present. And Duke Karn, heh, the man beside him looked like he was just an ordinary hunter, how could he be compared to the strongest Eastern swordsman in his own territory?

And Duke Karn, who had finally waited for Duke Joe to shut up, was about to start introducing the warrior he had brought, but Israel Rade took the lead in introducing himself: "My name is Israel Red, and I am a hunter from the province of Rafft. ”

His introduction was brief but unremarkable, choking back into his stomach all the flowery words that Duke Karn had prepared to praise Israde in order to suppress Duke Joe. Duke Karn glared at Duke Joe unwillingly, and when he bumped into Duke Joe's triumphant eyes, he couldn't help but be even more angry.

Israel was relieved to see that Duke Karn was angry but had no intention of continuing to speak, he didn't want to hear Duke Karn talk nonsense with his eyes open again. Simmons, who didn't want to be on the other side, suddenly asked: "Why is your left arm wrapped in a bandage all the time, is it injured?" ”

In the face of Simmons's kindness and enthusiasm, Israel Red could only refuse: "This is just a bandage wrapped to prevent scratches when hunting, nothing else." ”

Simmons smiled heroically: "It's okay!"

It seems that this is indeed an admirable healer. Israel thought to himself, but Simmons' words drew another gaze to his left arm. Israel Rade noticed that the girl named Aso was staring at her left arm with a slight tilt of her head, and there were some indescribable emotional fluctuations in her eyes.

Silently, Israel covered his left arm with his right hand and turned slightly to the side, avoiding Aso's gaze. The girl gave him a very strange feeling, and he had a hunch that if the secret of his left arm was revealed here, he might not be able to get out of the Imlin Palace door alive.

After all seven men had been introduced, King York IV spoke again: "I am deeply touched by the fact that seven brave men have been inspired to gather and are willing to embark on a perilous journey for the sake of peace on the whole continent. No amount of words can express the gratitude in my heart, and I can only prepare the best feast for you as best as I can, and I invite you warriors to enjoy tonight, and I will personally bid you farewell tomorrow. ”

No sooner had the fourth of York finished speaking than the servants rushed in, and they quickly set up the banquet and brought in a succession of good food and wine. York IV raised his glass to pay tribute to the seven warriors in attendance, while Simmons and Punirolo were the first to feast. The archbishop bowed to York IV and then withdrew, a scene that was very unsuitable for a man of few desires. Karn and Joe also left shortly after the archbishop left, after all, the feast was not for the two of them.

Israel Rade took his glass to the wall of the palace and began to slowly observe the fresco on it, which detailed how King Hudson, the ancestor of York IV, led his magicians and martial artists to defeat the demon king Alfred and save humanity. The fresco depicts King Hudson stabbing forward with a spear in his hand, the tip of which sinking into Alfred's left chest. Israel shook his head, Alfred has six demon leaders under his command, and Alfred himself is a legendary powerhouse. It is impossible for King Hudson to kill so many monsters alone, but later legends only mention the great achievements of King Hudson alone. Israel thought about what his people were about to do again, I wonder if it would be said that in many years, it will be said that the current York IV personally led the demon hunting team to exterminate the remnants of the demon king?

"Dare to shake your head at the glorious history of the royal family in Imlin Palace, you really don't take our King Majesty seriously. A joking voice sounded behind him, and Israel Red looked back to see Punirolo with a wine glass, looking at him with a playful expression.

"It's kind of weird that comes out of your mouth. Israel said helplessly, "If you respect the royal family, it will not be the turn of the leader of 'Midnight'." ”

Punirolo took two steps forward, close enough to Eastraed, who could even smell the lilacs in her hair.

"I've left 'Midnight', and before I left, I left all the affairs of the organization to my cronies, and now I'm just a model citizen of Kingdom allegiance. ”

Israel was taken aback, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Punirolo was the queen of the underworld of the Kingdom of Franda in the status of 'Midnight', but she even talked about her surrender of the "throne" so lightly. Punirolo also saw Israed's surprise, she took a sip of the red wine in her glass, and said with a smile, "What? Do you think we will come back alive this time? It is very likely that we are about to face those monsters that have survived for thousands of years. Pnirollo drank the wine from his glass, "If I were to say that an army should be sent, not the seven of us, and that York IV should not believe the bullshit prophecy he received in the General Temple of the Faceless Church." ”

In the continent of Franda, a more serious crime than insulting the royal family is probably insulting the church, and Punirolo's unscrupulousness can be regarded as an eye-opener for Israed. However, out of curiosity, he still asked, "Since you know that it is so dangerous, why do you want to accept the 'Demon Hunting Order'?"

Punirolo replied with a smile, "If I say it's because I can't refuse the lord's orders, will you believe it?"

Israel shook his head, he knew that the lord of Punirolo's mouth, Duke Oliver, would never have the guts to dictate to her.

"I have some questions that I have to solve, and maybe only this trip can give me the answer, and I'm willing to pay anything for it. "What about you? You should know that this is a road where there is only death." ”

Israel unconsciously stroked his left arm, "I have some business of my own, too. ”
