Chapter 103 The Red Hat Living in the Castle
After some searching, Gu Shanhai also found what he needed, recorded it and planned to leave.
"This old boy is really bad. The data he gave me was not only false, but also deliberately distorted." Gu Shanhai cursed and got angry.
Kill people and set fire, kill people and set fire. If you kill everyone, you must also set a fire.
"There is also Grand Duke Snow Donya. This guy is also a duplicity. It's time to go back and trick him." Gu Shanhai took away not only these data, but also the two people's letters.
It's one thing whether Artolis believes it or not, but with this knife, it depends on whether he can kill or not. Colluding with wizards and launching a coup, no matter what the crime is, Snow Donia's position as Grand Duke can be changed. No guarantee.
Even if most nobles actually have many wizards, Snow Donya is more ruthless. There is a wizard in his family, which is of a different nature. Hiring wizards and having someone in the family who is a wizard are two completely different things. crime.
"It's a pity that he doesn't have an account book, otherwise it could be more direct." Gu Shanhai expressed regret. The magic pet wizard is a wizard, not a financial person. As long as the things he receives every time meet the quantity on the list, it is not necessary at all. Accounting is required.
Under the firelight, Gu Shanhai felt refreshed. After retaliating against the enemy, it was not the so-called emptiness at all, but the joy in his mood.
"Yo~yo~" Xiaobai jumped around Gu Shanhai. Although it didn't know what Gu Shanhai was happy about, it was also excited along with it.
"Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild, tsk~" Gu Shanhai looked at Xiao Bai and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiaobai was a little confused and didn't quite understand what it meant.
"It means that a group of deers are chirping happily and eating mugwort leisurely in the wilderness. Come on." Gu Shanhai said and took out a bottle of potion, which means that there is no mugwort, but it is time to eat.
Xiaobai didn't think too much, and happily sighed.
The potions prepared by Gu Shanhai have various flavors, because they are specially designed for Xiaobai to drink, and the issue of taste has been fully considered. It is not an unpleasant taste, but more like the candy and spicy strips that children like. something.
"But, Xiaobai, have you seen the horse that came with us?"
At this time, Gu Shanhai discovered a very serious problem, that is, the horse he had previously tied to the side was gone.
"There are people stealing horses in this wilderness. It's too outrageous. The thieves dared to get close to the movement just now. They really want money rather than their lives." Gu Shanhai was a little nervous.
I had been so focused on killing people and setting fires that I didn't notice this.
"No, I can't swallow this breath. I have to find the other person and beat him up."
Gu Shanhai still had a clear distinction between right and wrong. He was just stealing a horse and not trying to kill him. There was no need to beat him to death, just beat him to death.
"If I had known if I had put a hunting mark on the horse, I wouldn't have known if ally tracking would be possible." Gu Shanhai tried using ally tracking, but only determined that Xiao Bai was found, and that horse was no longer an ally.
"Xiao Bai, can you smell something?" Gu Shanhai's five senses can smell, but there are still limits.
On the other hand, Xiaobai's sense of smell is much stronger than that of humans, at least it should be stronger than his.
Xiaobai also understood what Gu Shanhai meant. After sniffing the air, he motioned to follow it and found some traces.
"You can really smell it. It's really a ghost. I remember, don't dogs have this ability? Oh, it seems that there is no such thing as a police deer." Gu Shanhai felt that Xiaobai seemed to have a lot of potential, and he had to go further. Just dig.
With Xiaobai leading the way, he kept moving forward and soon found his own horse. Unfortunately, he arrived a step too late and had already been killed.
The ones who took action were a group of red hats, creatures between goblins and dwarves, who were both evil-hearted and cruel.
Of course Gu Shanhai knew this kind of creature, a strong old man with a long beard and red eyes, sharp claws and fangs, wearing a red hat, iron shoes, and carrying a spear in his left hand.
Killing is needed all the time, because blood is needed to soak their red hats. Once the blood on the hats dries up, they will die, hence the name red hats.
"Does that mean there is an abandoned castle nearby?" Gu Shanhai felt that although there was no horse, it seemed like a blessing in disguise.
Because the red hats all live in abandoned castles, the people in such castles are usually slaughtered by the red hats, and there are no living creatures.
When they saw Gu Shanhai, this group of red hats rushed towards Gu Shanhai at an extremely fast speed. Their movements were extremely fast. I don’t know how they did it. There were many spears and iron shoes under their feet. The weight, and with their size of less than one meter, they obviously do not have enough strength.
If it were alone, the civilians would still have a chance of winning, but when there were more of them, it would become a big hazard.
"It's a pity that the strength is not enough." Gu Shanhai didn't even move. Under the halo, all the red hats who came close died from various injuries.
This thing does have a good chance of winning against a remote village without extraordinary beings, but facing an extraordinary person with Gu Shanhai's strength is not much different from dying.
Looking at the red hats that died on the ground due to flames, frost and other reasons, Gu Shanhai sighed: "If you were human beings, I would beat you up, but it's a pity that you are not."
"But where is the nearby castle?" Gu Shanhai tried to find it through the city positioning technique, but unfortunately found nothing. Apparently it was because it was occupied by the red hat and became a lair and it could no longer be identified as a city without the presence of anyone.
Fortunately, he is not limited to such a method. Since urban positioning cannot be used to determine, then use locating water bodies. Water sources are definitely needed in urban areas. As long as you find areas with dense or different water sources around you, you can determine the direction. .
"It seems that the whole town has been destroyed. No wonder the familiar wizard is here. Staying away from the crowd is the right choice for the wizard."
"I found it. The location is quite far away. It's almost blurry. Fortunately, I've become a lot stronger recently, otherwise I might not be able to find it."
A few minutes later, Gu Shanhai finally identified a suspected target. Since it was not a city positioning technique, Gu Shanhai could only go there based on his feeling. As for using prophecy and divination to determine it, it was unlikely that he would waste his life on this matter. On the contrary, It is more cost-effective to divine the bad luck after going there.
If it's bad, whether it's small or big, Gu Shanhai will immediately turn around and leave. If it's ordinary, it's probably the wrong positioning, but if it's good, no matter what it is, he has to take a look.
"It's Xiaoji again, it seems he can pick up something again."
Even so, he still had to clear out the red hats occupying the castle.
"Xiao Bai, let's set off." After Gu Shanhai was sure, he naturally took Xiao Bai there.
The road was walking in a straight line, and Gu Shanhai almost collapsed. Fortunately, he had Linbu on him, otherwise he would have wanted to use his spiritual blade to open a new path.
On the contrary, Xiaobai seems to have the corresponding ability.
"Crossing the forest? You are worthy of being the queen of the deer king. Well, there is nothing special about being the queen of the deer king. Nine out of ten young deer are queens of the deer king."
"Walking on waves, walking through forests, plus giving me dark vision, I don't know what other abilities I will have in the future."
Xiaobai's potential is an opportunity that can be triggered by Gu Shanhai's intuition and whim, such as magic pet skills and red hats. In fact, they are not qualified to trigger Gu Shanhai's lower limit of opportunity. They belong to the kind of Gu Shanhai who can directly Encountered.
It's probably because there are fewer things that are worthy of me. It's just because there are few opportunities.
Just like Setanda Esolun's magic gun, this thing is not an opportunity, it is a robbery. The opportunity is similar to being given to you, not stolen.
How could this thing be available every day? Xiaobai was given to him by Gu Shanhai after he became a Mark Druid. It’s not that there are no opportunities in the Hart Plains, but if Gu Shanhai wants it, he can take it directly. It’s not given to him at all. Instead, it was a situation where he was a part of it.
After walking through the forest for nearly three hours, Gu Shanhai was somewhat impressed by these red hats. They could actually walk such a long way to hunt for food. Maybe it was just because Gu Shanhai and Xiao Bai walked slowly
He saw a town and the most eye-catching castle from a distance, but there were only the chirping of insects and the movement of some birds and animals, and he could also see many broken and rotten bones.
The marks on the bones include not only the marks left by spears, but also the scratching of claws and the chewing of fangs.
"I've never heard of red hats eating people. Can't these guys just water their hats with blood to survive?" Gu Shanhai was a little confused.
In fact, the blood on the red hat's hat does not dry up at the same speed as normal. Instead, it dries very slowly. Otherwise, if it had to kill as many people as it could in a day to survive, how could it be so peaceful?
According to estimates, the red hat who killed the horse and used horse blood to water himself would not need to eat again for at least a week.
"It's strange to say that this place has been abandoned for a short time. Why didn't anyone come to exterminate these red hats?"
"It's impossible to say that no one escaped. This is a bit unlikely."
The red hat is not powerful. An ordinary person may not be able to defeat it, but three or five can easily beat it to death, provided that they have the courage to face it.
Another thing is that since there is a castle in this place, it means there are nobles. Wherever the nobles are, there will be knights. After receiving knight training, even if they do not become true extraordinary people, they are equipped with armor and weapons. These red hats cannot chew them. If you can't beat someone with such a strong backbone, can't you run away?
As for the nobles, most of them have the inheritance of knights, and they can basically be equated with extraordinary people.
So the fact that the red hats are still entrenched here for such a long time can only mean that either this matter has been suppressed, or the entire army has been wiped out, and it may not only be the red hats, but also some nobles, otherwise Gu Shanhai would have Don't know how to lose.
According to records, the red hat group only has about one or two hundred at most. If there are more, they will leave in groups. And with the size of this town and the condition of the castle, the total number of knights, militiamen, sheriffs, etc. is at least five hundred, and the number of civilians There were tens of thousands of people, but they were wiped out by more than 200 red hats. This is simply a fantasy.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter what the truth is, let's go to the castle and have a look first." Gu Shanhai entered the town, but he didn't want to explore too much.
When he went in, he made another divination prediction, and it was still Xiaoji. This is why he knew there was a problem, but he was still ready to go in and take a look.
The absence of danger is the most important thing.
"There's something wrong with the battle traces. It's some kind of massacre???" Gu Shanhai's expression became more solemn.
Exploring the corpses everywhere, Gu Shanhai determined that the tragedy was not caused by the red hats, but by some other creature, and the red hats most likely just took advantage after these creatures left.
Red hats don’t eat people, that’s for sure.
The noisy sounds gradually reached Gu Shanhai's ears. As he gradually approached the castle, he naturally gradually became aware of the movements of the red hats.
"The number is about a hundred, plus the batch of thirteen I killed before, there is still not much problem with the quantity."
"It seems that I really misunderstood the red hats and almost made them take the blame."
After Gu Shanhai thought for a while, he stuffed Xiaobai into the portable laboratory and let him play by himself, otherwise it would affect Gu Shanhai's performance.
Sneaked into the castle quietly. The castle was quite big and could provide food and living for at least a thousand people. Therefore, the hundreds of red hats were nothing at all. Moreover, the red hats were not scattered all over the castle, but were clustered together. Together.
"Red Hat's intelligence is not well developed. It is not as good as elemental life, and is even similar to animals." Gu Shanhai glanced at Red Hat, who was playing and playing.
"Then the question is, where did their spears and iron shoes come from? They obviously didn't make them themselves, and it's even less likely that they picked them up."
"Sure enough, there is a BUG in the logic"
Gu Shanhai complained, and then he didn't worry too much. Who knows what secrets are hidden in this thing? He came here to pick up some things, not to find out the origin of a strange creature like the red hat. To talk about magic, elements Isn't life magical? Aren’t fairies and goblins magical?
Anyway, there are a lot of weird things, so there is no need to worry about this little thing, because you will have to worry about it a lot later.
"Blow these things to death, no, use frost, so as not to touch the corpse later." Gu Shanhai subconsciously planned to use the flame halo, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough, maybe these red hats were carrying something from the castle. If the good things he collected are really going to be blown up, then he will lose money, so he still has to be careful when taking action.
If you want to blow it up, you have to wait until you touch the corpse before blowing it up. (End of chapter)
