Chapter 463: A blessing or a curse

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,"

The figure slowly walked a few steps forward, and in the moonlight, he could be vaguely seen wearing a pair of small round sunglasses, and he smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "I want to delay everyone a little time, because I have something I want to ask." ”

……

The battle did not last long, and after capturing the small manor, Rona and the wolf cavalry quickly swept around a few times to make sure that nothing had slipped through the net, while the others were busy cleaning up the scene and collecting the corpses.

Dai Guang and a few people gathered in the small building of the manor, and after waiting for a while, Lu Kuan rode the figure of a velociraptor and appeared in the north of the manor.

"How's it going, what's wrong?" Seeing Lu Kuan coming, Dai Guang hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Lu Kuan shook his head: "These people only obey orders, and the only housekeeper who gives orders should have been killed by Chen Shuang's fireball technique." ”

The female mage next to her couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she heard this.

"But I found something interesting in the fields." Lu Kuan walked to the wooden table in the room, took out a ball of things from his bag, and put it on the table.

When everyone looked closely, it was a weed-like plant, except for clusters of thumb-sized purple flowers blooming at the top, and nothing unusual could be seen.

"...... this?"

Tao Bo, who was sitting at the table, suddenly spoke, got up and took the blade of grass in his hand and looked at it, frowning: "Hell flowers? ”

"Tauber's good eyesight~"

Lu Kuan praised: "It's just right, you tell everyone about the origin of this thing." ”

Tao Bo smiled when he heard this, and waved his hand: "I don't know much, but I traveled abroad and saw this kind of flower by chance." ”

It turns out that when Tauber was a trainee warrior monk, he had ventured into the Red Earth Kingdom in the West, where the Flower of Hell was a specialty, and this beautiful plant was poisonous, and prolonged exposure could even lead to death.

However, the more famous use of the Hellflower is to make catalysts, and if taken in large quantities in a short period of time, there is a great chance that creatures will mutate, such as the Ranger's pet, which may greatly enhance the pet's strength.

"However, this enhancement comes at the cost of a lot of pet lifespan,"

Speaking of this, Tao Bo sighed and touched the head of the lightning next to him: "Back then, in the Red Earth Kingdom, I don't know how many rangers' animal companions died because of this. ”

When everyone was amazed by this kind of secret, Lu Kuan added: "And the Hell Flower has an effect on all living things, including people, elves, demons, etc., basically, to put it bluntly, if you eat too much, you will become a monster." ”

"What then? Are you going to destroy these flowers? Dai Guang asked.

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when it's dawn,"

Lu Kuan smiled: "At least wait for the guests to come, and then do it~"

……

Nothing was said all night.

What happened in the woods was unknown to anyone, not even the Rapids Harbor patrol, who was dozens of miles away.

When the sky broke and the sun shone again, a well-guarded convoy of more than twenty carts appeared on the avenue of the alluvial plain.

Players and NPCs who often roam the plains are no longer surprised by this, and they are busy with their own business, allowing the convoy to slowly disappear into the jungle as usual.

However, unlike usual, within an hour, the convoy came out of the woods again, and this time the guards were dressed more tightly, even covering their heads tightly, and quickly rushed in the direction of Rapidsport.

Although curious, no one went up to inquire without a long eye, but just looked at it curiously, and watched the convoy disappear into the distance.

But what happened next made the atmosphere on the alluvial plain suddenly tense.

About half an hour after the convoy left, some players found that thick smoke began to rise from the jungle in the north, which seemed to have ignited a forest fire, and the fire spread extremely quickly, and it didn't take long for the smoke to cover a large area of the sky, and it drifted out slowly for several miles.

Not only that, but before noon, a large number of heavily armed teams suddenly rushed out of the farm in the distance, rode out like a whirlwind on war horses, and went straight to the north, leading everyone on the road to look sideways.

In the next few hours, the entire alluvial plain boiled, and teams of different costumes and sizes came and went, their steps hurried, their faces cold, and the air suddenly became a little more nervous.

"What's the situation, I haven't seen so many NPCs in my daily life?"

"Yes, these guys have taken medicine, they stopped me just now and asked if I saw the truck, who TM knows what truck~"

"You don't know yet? Something is wrong! I heard that the small manor in the forest was robbed by robbers, and it was burned clean, and there was no tile left~ Several farmers have gone to Rapids Harbor to report to the official, and now they can still receive tasks in the past! ”

"Huh? Impossible, right? That small manor is so well guarded, didn't a player want to go in to explore the wind before, and was shot directly? Is there such a powerful bandit near Rapidwater Harbor? ”

"I don't know the specific inside story, anyway, several farms are crazy now, desperately looking for someone."

……

The news spread, and for a time it became the hottest topic of conversation in Rapidsport, but no one knew that the owners of several major farms were really angry about far more than the destruction of manors and farmland.

Runeterra City, in the Temple of Dom.

The hall was densely packed with kneeling figures, and a total of 276 rune dwarves who had been rescued were all kneeling in the hall at this time, praying in low voices.

The blue light in the main hall flickered, and the fluttering bands of light connected everyone together, slowly and regularly jumping.

Lu Kuan stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the scene in the hall, thinking about something, and the others stood next to him, with a faint worry on their faces.

"It should be fine, right?" Bai Xian frowned, his little face full of worry.

"It's okay, the guardian wolf soul won't give up on its people,"

Rona said in a deep voice, his face resolute: "It's just a matter of time, everyone will definitely recover." ”

That morning, after a fierce battle, everyone successfully rescued the imprisoned rune dwarves, and then returned to Rune City as soon as possible, but everyone soon found that the state of these dwarf compatriots was a little abnormal.

Because of the long hours of working in the farmland, the dwarves have symptoms of poisoning of varying degrees of severity, and if it weren't for the rune dwarves themselves being very strong and having rune protection, I am afraid they would have died there long ago.

The farmers there probably also valued the strange anti-poison physique of the rune dwarves, so they kept the dwarves secretly in the small manor.

"Don't worry too much,"

Lu Kuan spoke up at this time, and patted Rona on the shoulder at the same time: "Actually, in my opinion, this is not necessarily all bad. ”

"Huh? Why? Rona didn't understand what Lu Kuan meant.

Lu Kuan organized his words and said, "Rune dwarves are naturally strong, although they have been in contact with the Hell Flower all these years, they have never eaten it directly, and it is likely that they have become resistant to this toxin and have mutated. ”
