Chapter 321: Changes in the North
Returning to Arabe, walking under the skies of the northern city, the Charr does not intend to waste the day catching up with the Lady of Arabe and the rest of her friends.
Placing the little maid in the main station of Nodashir, Charles didn't even alarm the female gnomes who were hiding in the laboratory to improve their 'enchantment' skills, but summoned Udic and the original leader of the slave warriors, the current head of the guards, Morey, in the hall of the castle.
Udic was tall and burly, like a giant bear in human form, but the savage warrior Morey was not much inferior in size. In front of these two people, Charles looked like a stunted child.
"Rub, rub, rub, rub ......"
There was a strange thing hanging from the priest's body, arching back and forth in his arms, but if you looked closely, you would see that it was actually a girl with long blond hair, about eight or nine years of age, carved in pink, huddled affectionately in Charles's arms, and looked at Cathy and the little maid with curious eyes.
"Ya'er is arranged in the castle, and you don't have to get used to it, the work that should be arranged will be arranged, after all, our Nodashir is not a shelter......"
In front of the noble maiden and the little maid, Charles said to the commander Morey. The Northland warrior nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, master, I will let the head maid arrange it." ”
"Just let her take care of Chrissy." Udic interjected, glancing dotingly at the blonde girl in Charles's arms, "Chrissy is growing up and needs a personal maid. Since she takes care of this warlock lady on weekdays, she must be able to quickly adapt to her new job. ”
The savage warrior Morey, as a slave, did not ask about the origin of Cathy and Ya'er, but Uditz, a free man, did not even ask for anything, and asked Charr for help.
"Thank you."
Cathy hurriedly bowed in thanks, then got up and touched the little maid's head, smiling, "Ya'er." From now on, you're going to have to live a good life in this fortress. ”
The little maid pursed her lips with tears in her eyes and nodded.
Charles handed Morey bags of gold coins as customary. This is the daily maintenance fund of the resident castle.
"Are you ready for what I asked for when I walked in?" Charles asked.
"It should be fine." Morey replied.
The group walked out of the hall, and sure enough, there were several Northland warriors waiting with their horses on the large flat of the manor. There were three brown heavy horses, each with strong limbs and shiny fur, except for the mount itself. All three horses were loaded with tents, dry rations, and other tools needed for the trip.
After all, the player's backpack space is not unlimited, and when traveling and adventuring, he needs to carry a heavy and large cowhide bag like the aborigines.
Without pausing for long, without even taking a sip of water, Charles rolled over and jumped on a heavy warhorse, then turned his head to look at Cathy.
The Female Bloodstake herself got on the horse, but the aristocratic maiden, apparently in need of help, bit her lower lip and threw a pitiful look at Charles. Charles was unmoved, and said coldly: "Kaith, I won't take special care of you from now on. Although you are a warlock, you must also be proficient in horsemanship, and the inheritors of the Carol family should have the consciousness to endure hardships......"
Remembering the words of Mary, the old witch on the sickbed, Charles had to harden his heart.
Casey. Carol is undoubtedly a canary, and she has probably never left the imperial capital since she was a child. And her habit of reading quietly also makes it difficult for her to get in touch with things like swords and horses.
But there was no time left.
The Abyssal Demon will strike at any moment. So, the charr has decided to use the roughest method. Let Cathy quickly adapt to the wilderness and adapt to a life full of blood.
"Don't help him!"
The Charles stopped the slave leader Morey.
Udic seemed to understand Charles's intentions, and only stood to the side with his arms crossed, without the idea of stepping forward to help. Got angry, Cathy gave Charles a fierce look and put away his staff. Regardless of any manners, he climbed onto the horse's back nearly three meters high with difficulty, grabbed the reins crookedly, and barely controlled his balance.
"Let's go—" Charles turned his head and gently clamped his legs between the horse's belly. The horses under their butts trotted down the gravel paths of the manor.
Seeing the three men and three horses leave the manor, Morey, the leader of the slave warriors, said in a muffled voice: "Where are the master and the warlock lady going?" ”
Udic shrugged his shoulders, looked at Ya'er, who was still sobbing quietly, and said with a smile: "Your name is Ya'er, right?" Do you know the itinerary of the priest Charles and the warlock lady? ”
"No, I don't know." Ya'er said timidly, and after a little thought, she added, "It seems to go east first...... Yes, Comanso, it's called Comanshall, I've heard Pastor Charles mention it. ”
"Comanso!" Udic immediately restrained his expression, which had been a little idle, and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Morey didn't know what was going on in the mountains to the north.
"It might be bad...... Udic shook his head with a wry smile, "If their destination is Comanso, then they must pass through Tifanton and enter the Moonsea Highway." ”
"However, the orcs have made the northern mountain range impregnable, setting up many checkpoints on the mountain road to Tifanton, and lately, more and more adventurers and mercenary groups have encountered orc scouts on the outskirts of the mountains...... This shows that the orcs are already leveling the ground. Udic said in a serious tone.
"I'm going to stop the master!"
When Morey heard this, he anxiously dropped a sentence and was about to run away, but was stopped by Udic.
"You can't stop it." Udic shook his head, "He came and went in a hurry, and even if he knew that there was a mountain in front of him, he would walk through the mountain, I know him well." ”
"You can't do nothing, can you? What to do if the orc army traps the master! Morey spun around in a hurry.
"It's impossible to do nothing!" Udic strode back to the castle, a moment later dressed in a set of scales, followed by several members of the Lionheart.
Arabe Middle Floor, Twilight House.
In the president's room on the second floor, a blonde female warrior monk listened to the report of the guild members under her hand, stood up and said in surprise: "Is he stationed in Nordasil?" ”
The male player in charge of delivering information shook his head: "I went out of the city not long ago, there are three people in total, I am well prepared, it seems that I am going to travel far away......"
Hum.
Surprise turns to loss, then to shame. The female president slammed her fist on the table and said coldly: "Let him go." Heartless guys. ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the intelligence officer quietly slipped away, but another sentence came from outside the door: "Commander Charles is leaving the city from the north gate...... He might have to go north......"
"Northbound?" Yu Fei was stunned and then there was a faint trace of worry in his eyes that could not be concealed, "That stinky thing, don't you know that this Storm Horn Mountain Range has been occupied by orcs, but you want to break into the monster's lair, don't you know the danger...... I'll tell you to break in. Tell you to break into ......"
With that, the female warrior monk walked to the practice dummy in the corner and swung her fist like rain.
Bang bang.
The male player who delivered the information stood outside the door, listening to the rapid sound of fists coming from the room, and his heart was cold.
At this time, Bussman, the commander of the 'Canglan' legion, and Blood Eagle walked over from the other side of the corridor while talking. Seeing that the male player's expression was different, Blood Eagle stopped with a light hum and frowned, "What?" ”
The male player pointed to the closed guild's room at the door. Helpless.
"Why did the president lose his temper again?" Bussman touched his shiny bald head with a broken throat, and wondered, "I haven't done anything bad lately......
There is no confidence in what I said.
"Don't admit yourself." The Blood Eagle just kicked it over, and Bussman was used to this move, quickly jumping away to dodge, leaning his back against the railing and laughing.
"I'm here to report to the president the news of Chief Charles." The intelligence player looked at the senior leaders of his guild speechlessly, and was not surprised.
"What, Charles!" Bussman stopped the thief from laughing and shouted loudly. "That guy came back from Susar? No wonder...... No wonder. ”
Blood Eagle was also surprised, but quickly relented.
Bang. At this time, the door of the president's office opened. The female president, who was venting to the dummy, had regained her composure and said, "Count the number of people online, an hour...... No, gather a thousand elites above level 10 in half an hour and follow me into the Storm Horn Mountains! ”
Bussman rubbed his hands together to ask why. The Blood Eagle tugged at his sleeve behind him and handed him a mocking look of "You're killing yourself".
"Ugh." Bussman touched his bald head, as if he understood something.
……
Arabe Northern Steppe.
"Poof"
From a shattered orc corpse, he pulled out a spiked chain hammer, and blood spilled to the ground. The scraps of meat remained on the steel spikes, and Charles glanced at the slain orc scout, his expression as usual.
That's right, not long after the three-person team left the city, they were actually ambushed by a team of orc scouts, a total of 12 scouts hid in a ravine that horses could not cross, and when the team approached, the 12 orcs roared and jumped out to launch a surprise attack.
This inferior ambush method has long been seen through by the Charles, who can detect the murderous aura hidden in the ravine from a hundred meters away. Of course, even if he didn't feel it, Mahi would definitely remind him.
The skirmish lasted less than ten minutes before it ended. Charles 5 kills, Mahi 7 kills, Cathy. Carol has 0 kills.
It is not surprising that the aristocratic girl's record is Charles, because this can be said to be the first real battle in the girl's life, and the first opponent is still an ugly and vicious orc, Cathy was not frightened to run away, and at this moment he is still sitting on horseback, Charles feels very relieved.
The battle itself wasn't a distraction for the Charles, but the priest had been wondering about something after the war.
List of teams.
During the battle, Charles naturally had to pay attention to Kathy's situation and keep an eye on her HP, but at the same time, Charles couldn't help but see the status of another NPC follower on the list.
[Mahi. Simon] (retinue, confusion) ......"
After the avatar's name, there is an extra small red word of "chaos", which seems to be a warning. Charles is thinking about the meaning of "chaos".
This could represent the faction, it could be the psychological problem of the female blood Mahi at the moment, or it could be something else due to the NPC itself. Anyway, Charles knew that Mahi had changed, and maybe she wasn't the ignorant newborn bloodline she had before. (To be continued......)
