Chapter 10 The Legacy of the Necromancer
The night was dark and windy.
On a stone road, mercenary knights hold torches and patrol on horseback.
The firelight reflected the young knight's face, which was full of exhaustion. He complained to the lord in the deserted wilderness and said:
"I said that the Demon Flame Sheep must be eliminated. This has been defended. It’s been a few days, not even a shadow has been seen.”
"So what if a forest fire breaks out? It's his property anyway, and the tax has nothing to do with my half a copper coin..."
At this time, a spark suddenly lit up in the wilderness, and the fire spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye A fire broke out.
The knight was stunned on the spot, sweating profusely, and muttered:
"My Holy Light, I was just talking casually, this fire has nothing to do with me at all!"
The knight looked into the distance and witnessed the battle between the Demonic Flame Sheep and the Withered Vine Monster.
Immediately he understood that the source of the fire was the target he wanted to hunt, the Demon Flame Sheep!
The Demon Flame Sheep has been absconding in the territory for many days. It is hungry tonight and caused this fire while hunting the withered vine monster.
However, the Demon Flame Sheep is a high-level monster, and the knight does not have the confidence to hunt alone, so he is ready to turn back and let his companions support him.
At this time, a snow-white war horse came into view. It pulled a black carriage and rushed towards the battlefield resolutely!
“Where did Roland’s war horse come from?” The knight was stunned.
A Roland war horse is the dream mount of countless knights.
Although his own mount is also a good horse, it cannot compare with Roland's war horse!
The carriage seemed to be a team of adventurers. When the old man driving the carriage arrived at the battlefield, he untied the carriage, drew out his one-handed sword, and jumped onto the snow-white horse.
He rode his horse towards the Demon Flame Sheep, and when faced with the three flame missiles spat out by the Demon Flame Sheep, he suddenly changed their trajectory, causing the three missiles to miss.
At the same time, a girl in leather armor came down from the carriage behind. Her throwing skills were extremely superb. The spear she threw poked a bloody hole in the body of the demon flame sheep, which was then burned to ashes by the demon flames. .
The Demon Flame Sheep neighed angrily, spitting out a fireball to completely kill the struggling vine monster, and then ran towards the carriage!
Phew!
When the Demon Flame Sheep charged, the scorching wind opened a path of fire in the wilderness.
The knight looked solemn, but he saw a white owl flying out of the carriage, fanning out the biting cold wind, and curbing the momentum of the Demon Flame Sheep!
"Magic pet?"
The knight could not hide his shock.
"In addition to Roland's war horse, this team actually has a magic pet!"
The other side.
Yeats has left the carriage and visited the battlefield in person.
Seeing the snowy owl's contribution, Yeats praised: "Well done!"
"Gu!" The snow owl narrowed its eyes happily, and then was blown away by a cluster of flaming missiles.
The fire resistance provided by "Snow Rabbit Soup" made the Demon Flame Sheep's offensive have little effect, but instead aroused the Snow Owl's fighting spirit.
The snowy owl lit up with fire, and the frosty wind it fanned out touched the magic flame of the magic flame sheep, making a sizzling sound and water mist rising.
Bang!
Phocas controlled the carrot and fought back from the flank.
The snow-white war horse collided with the Demon Flame Sheep. The old man on the seat swung his sword at the same time, his arm broke through the Demon Flame, and cut a bloody mark on the Demon Flame Sheep's body.
"Huh? This fire doesn't hurt at all on my body!"
Forkas was surprised and had a vague suspicion.
Could this be due to the young master’s talent for food?
"Yeats, I have no weapons." Gray said with a grimace and spread his hands, "I have asked you to buy me new equipment a long time ago. According to the employment law, the equipment for hired guards is provided by the lord. ! ”
"Who said you have no weapons?"
Yeats took out the heavy iron plate of petrified sheep from the carriage.
“Isn’t this ready-made?”
Gray looked shocked.
"I know your fire resistance is full, and so is the petrified sheep iron plate!" Yeats ordered, "Quick, pick up the iron plate and kill it!"
Gray picked up the iron plate with both hands and gritted her silver teeth: "After this high-level monster is solved, you must remember to get me a decent weapon!"
Yeats: "Next time, definitely."< br>
“I’m on it!” the dragon-born girl shouted, running fast and rushing to the front of the Demon Flame Sheep.
Gray jumped up and down, swung the iron plate with both hands, and hit it viciously on the top of the Demon Flame Sheep's head.
Boom!
The knights watching the battle were stunned.
The weapon used by that female adventurer is so unique.
It is both a shield and a blunt weapon, integrating offense and defense, and is not even afraid of demonic flames!
"What a powerful team." The knight secretly exclaimed, "It seems that the average is only one level, but when they work together, they can defeat the high-level Demon Flame Sheep!"
The Demon Flame! The sheep was hit by Gray's jumping shield, causing stars to shine in its eyes. The tall war horse knocked it to the ground again.
Bah!
Phocas's one-handed sword hit its neck, and blood spattered. The Demonic Flame Sheep struggled for a moment and then completely stopped moving.
The magic flame sheep died, and the magic flame burning the forest lost its source and became weak.
Yeats asked Snow Owl to use the wind of frost to extinguish the remaining flames and join the team members.
"It was a bit tricky, but I finally got it done." Gray wiped the sweat.
Phocas was a knight in his early years, but he was really old. After riding for a while, Carrot became out of breath and said:
"Master, it doesn't hurt at all when I touch the magic flame. You had expected this, so you asked me to attack you at close range, right?"
"You responded quickly," Yeats said with a smile.
"Young Master..." Fokas looked moved, "I will definitely be proud of you now!"
Gray said strangely: "What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Yeats coughed dryly.
Dragonborn comes with full fire resistance, so naturally he cannot feel the bonus brought by Snow Rabbit Soup.
But for Snow Owl and Forkas, this is the key to facing the Demon Flame Sheep.
As for me, my fighting ability is still very poor.
Focus on cultivating magic pets first, and then look for opportunities to improve them...
“The Demon Flame Sheep is full of treasures.”
Yeats said: “Sheep head, mutton, sheepskin and even its body Any organ can be sold for money. Put it in the carriage first and sell it when you find the traveling caravan."
"Will you buy me a new weapon?" Gray said expectantly.
"Let's see if we can find a suitable one." Yeats nodded.
"It's a deal!" Gray said happily.
Fokas cut open the magic flame sheep and found a small piece of red crystal. He was surprised and said: "Master, there is actually a small piece of magic crystal!"
"You are really lucky. Eh." Gray was also surprised, "You can find a small piece of expensive magic crystals that are only produced by rare minerals and powerful monsters."
"It shows that God thinks our territory is too poor. Yeats looked at the sky and said, "I can't stand it. I want to give us some start-up capital."
Gray patted Yeats on the shoulder and said carelessly: "Anyway, I made a lot of money this time." Pen, can we have a good meal?”
"Of course." Yeats smiled, "Let's eat today, a feast of magic flame sheep."
Grey: (╬_)
In the end, we still eat Warcraft!
Taking stock of the harvest, I hunted a whole magic flame sheep and a small piece of magic crystal.
The iron plate of the petrified sheep was burned to the point of deformation by the magic flame and was considered scrapped. However, Gray picked up a lot of dead branches from the dead branch monster, which are good firewood.
Plant dead branches in the territory, new dead branch monsters will grow in a day or two, and then kill the newly grown dead branch monsters.
After a few rounds of brushing, there is no need to use precious wood for heating, and dead branches can be used instead...
Yeats was counting, and a knight holding a torch came from a distance. He came and claimed to be a knight under the local lord.
"The lord is already troubled by the Demon Flame Sheep. I would be very grateful if you could help with the hunting!" said the young knight.
“Hey, you don’t want to take our loot back, do you?”
Gray warned: "According to the laws of the kingdom, we hunt monsters to solve local disasters. This monster should belong to us!"
The knight was a little surprised and nodded: "You are right, I will report it to you." The lord reported this matter. I came to invite you to the lord's house. I believe he is happy to make friends with you. "
"No need," Yeats said, "We are passing through your place this time. It is to go to Morning Frost Ridge to take up the post. I believe that the lord here has received the letter from the Brondi family."
"Just do as I said and report it to your lord one by one, and he will understand. ”
The young knight suddenly realized.
It turned out to be the youngest son of the Brondi family! No wonder you can hunt the Demon Flame Sheep!
The environment of Morning Frost Ridge is dangerous, and the fact that this baron is so young yet has to go far to take office really makes the knight respect him.
“Actually, the lord has set a reward specifically for the adventurers who hunt the Demonic Flame Sheep.” The knight said, “I think in a few days, the lord will send someone to send the reward to Morning Frost Ridge. "
Yeats nodded and asked: "Are there any traveling caravans passing by or stationed nearby?"
"Yes, I will mark the location on the map for you... …”
After a moment of greetings, the knight left and everyone rested where they were.
The night is already dark.
Gray was too tired to speak. When she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she saw the snowy owl scratching something on the ground with its paws.
"Gu!" The snowy owl leaned down and pecked out a backpack strap.
Gray whispered: "Yeats, the snowy owl seems to have found something."
Not far from where the Demon Flame Sheep fell, the skeleton was buried in the soil, the clothes had rotted, and a corner of the backpack was faintly exposed on the ground.
Yeats was stunned, his heart pounding.
Found, the legacy of the Necromancer!
