Chapter 591: The First Step of Courage

A little pale flame stretched along the dim corridor, and Di walked slowly, looking at the desolate, death-filled scenery in front of him. The young vampire smiled slowly and slowly walked forward. At the same time, he stretched out his slender and pale fingers, arranging his cuffs, collar and hem. On both sides of the oppressive corridor, evil, murderous stone statues can be seen everywhere, they huddle above the eaves, and as the footsteps gradually approach, the eyes that should have been empty gradually shine with a faint magical aura, but after seeing Di's figure, they turn away, returning to darkness and nothingness.

Di's movements were meticulous, like a robot, smoothing out every crease in his body, and when he came to the heavy stone door at the end, the young vampire just withdrew his hands from the neckline and hung them at his side. Standing in front of the door, the black elf wearing pure gold armor frowned, pressed one hand on the short knife at his waist, while carefully looking at the uninvited guest in front of him, after a while, he made a gesture to the companion next to him, and then respectfully saluted the vampire in front of him, and then immediately bowed his head and retreatedβ€”β€”β€” and with the movement of the black elf guard, the stone door that was originally tightly closed let out a low roar, and then gradually opened. And at this time, the smile that had been hanging on the vampire seed's face also disappeared, and was replaced by a serious and solemn look.

At that moment, a low, hoarse voice emerged from the door as if it were coming from the bottom of the cemetery.

"I really didn't expect you bats to go out to meet people......... Little ghost, what are you doing here to find me? ”

"Honorable Lord Nefarian."

Hearing this, Di immediately lowered his head and bowed deeply to the darkness inside the stone gate in front of him.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you in your busy schedule, and I beg your pardon for being rude. If it weren't for something important, I wouldn't want to come and disturb your closeness. It's just that this matter has a lot to do with you, so ........."

"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point."

Before Di finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party. This made the young vampire pause for a moment, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and it was still so calm, as if the person who had been interrupted just now was not himself at all. After all, the character in front of him is not a character that Di, a small vampire, can discuss, as the most powerful and prestigious existence among the four demon generals, the "Soul Chaser" Barend. Nefarian can almost be said to be the patron saint of the Night Dragon Nation. Although the Land of Night is a realm of immortality and eternal life, death is actually not uncommon hereβ€”β€”β€” of course, almost all deaths. All are abnormal and unnatural.

And for thousands of years, after countless conspiracies, tricks, and assassinations, Nefarian was still able to stand among the four demon generals, which is enough to show how powerful and terrifying he is. No one knows exactly how long Nefarian has been around, and it is rumored that he was by the side of the Night Dragon before the Four Demon Generals existed, and has been following him loyally. Guarding generations of Night Dragon Souls. Such a character is far from being an existence that can be dealt with by leisure. Of course, Di is also very aware that there are many "pioneers" in history who have paid a lot to challenge and defeat this "soul chaser", but they have gained nothing at all. Those who tried to challenge him were dead, and only he remained, and seemed to continue to exist forever.

But Dee is different.

"Yes, sir. I apologize for my rude behavior......... But it does concern you, my lordship, and I am on my way to investigate the Duchy of Moon on the orders of His Highness Eswell. I stumbled upon the whereabouts of the murderer of your student, Lord Vulture, and the stakes are so high that I don't dare to take matters into my own hands, so I'm here to report it. According to my investigation, I can be sure that the current well-known 'mercenary aristocracy' in the Duchy of Moon, Rhodes . Elantra was the culprit who killed Lord Vulture. ”

At this, Di lowered his head. But at this moment, there was no sound in the door, and Di did not show the slightest impatience, but kept his head down, respectfully waiting for the other party's response.

"Zhilu said, get out."

With that, the door slowly closed again, and the black elf, who had been hidden in the shadows, stood in front of the door again. Seeing this scene in front of him, Di didn't say anything, just saluted again in the direction of the stone gate, and then turned to leave, but in a moment, the figure of the vampire seed quietly merged into the shadows, distorted and deformed, and then disappeared like smoke.

And just after Di's figure disappeared, the steel armor that was originally quietly leaning against the wall, looking like an ornament, suddenly moved slightly, and then, two points of soul brilliance jumped from it. Then, I saw the armor turn its body and come to the front of the stone gate.

"My lord, those cunning vampires..............."

"I know what you want to say, but no one can kill my students without paying any price. I've heard of the reputation of that human being, and it's rumored that there are two legendary realms in his realm. Hmph, the idea of those little bats is too simple, although His Majesty does have the intention of attacking the country of light, but it is unwise to blindly provoke the archangel. I'll leave this matter to you, and I hope you don't let me down. ”

"Yes, sir."

Hearing this, the black knight immediately saluted solemnly, and then he turned around and strode out of the corridor. With the departure of the black knight, the little undead fire that originally shone on the road suddenly "swished" as if it had been blown out by the wind, and disappeared without a traceβ€”β€”β€” leaving only an endless darkness.

"Boom!!"

With a dull roar, the tall dryad couldn't help but shake its body, and the sawdust on its body flew down layer by layer, as if it was raining. Then the dryad let out an angry roar, and in the blink of an eye, the roots around him burst out of the ground like tentacles, shooting in all directions.

"Wow!"

See these roots that break through the ground. Anne screamed in fright, and then immediately sprang backwards with a roll, dodging the attack of the tendrils. But just when Anne was in mid-air and couldn't keep her balance, she saw those roots suddenly stand up straight like a sharp sword, and shoot quickly towards the girl in mid-air.

"Whew!!"

And at the same time. Suddenly, not far in front of Anne, a wall of ice suddenly rose to the ground, blocking the flying roots. The blow in front of it was even more enraged, and it moved its massive body, holding those stout followers high in the air, like a long whip, and threw it down with all its might.

Right now. A dark light fell from the sky and fell on the dryad's body impartially, and with this light, the originally powerful dryad suddenly became much more sluggish, and the high-raised roots only waved down, but it suddenly lost its momentum, and fell softly like noodles. Then, the whistling sword brilliance suddenly erupted, whistling like a sky full of stars. The starlight instantly connected into countless sword nets composed of soul light, slashing head-on towards the dryad. Only a low, muffled sound was heard. The dryad who had just come into contact with the sword net flew upside down like this, slammed into the ground, and turned into a pile of scrap metal in the blink of an eye.

"Yayβ€”β€”β€”β€”!! Sure enough, the head of the regiment is the best! ”

Seeing the dryad fall to the ground, Anne suddenly rolled and jumped up from the ground, raised her hands high and cheered. At this time, Rod put his sword into the sheath. Walking forward, beside him, there was Li Jie, who smiled helplessly, and the little mermaid, who was curious and a little timid, looking at the dryad that had been reduced to pieces. Walking to Anne's side, Rhodes turned his head and glared at her expressionlessly.

"Don't get excited. It's still a long way from your destination, so don't mess with the boring stuff and get into unnecessary trouble. ”

"Got it - Captain!"

Hearing Rod's words, Anne immediately nodded vigorously, and then she ate and chuckled and ran backwards, coming to Lijie and the little mermaid. Seeing his subordinates, Rod shook his head helplessly, there was no good wayβ€”β€”β€” that night, after Rod got the girl's guidance from the dream, he chose to set off for the country of France immediately, for Rode, to be able to restore these two short swords into holy sword cards as soon as possible, it was also quite helpful for himself. Even though Greyhill and Madaras are not awakened, they are just as good as weapons. But what Rhodes fancied was that after these two short swords turned into human forms, they were "virtualized" as the special ability of Calesdu, the son of the wind.

Void is not a high-level swordsmanship skill, but a kind of strength similar to professional talent, just like Rod's summoned swordsman can summon elves to fight at the beginning, and other swordsmen must use magic props to achieve similar effects no matter how they practice, and the ability of void professional talent can be said to be quite useful for Rhode in future battles. Once Greyhill and Madaras were able to humanize, Rhodes would even be able to use them as the ultimate assassins. With Celia and Celestina in front, Rhodes can be sure that Greyhill and Madaras are definitely not rookies, rich assassination experience, coupled with the ethereal inflection talent of the elven assassin "Children of the Wind", the strength of these two girls can almost be equal to that of two squadrons, experienced dark elves.

Not only that, once these two short swords are added to the Holy Sword card and officially become Rod's summoning elves, then Rod can even use the "Shadow" talent skill to obtain the "Void" effect of the Children of the Wind to impose and use on himself, if he can really do this, then Rod's battle will become much easier and easier.

Because of this, coupled with the prophecy about the Night Dragon Kingdom in the dream, Rhodes decided to leave the Land of Atonement the next day and go to the Elven Dominion of the Land of Law, and go to the Holy Land to find a way to completely awaken these two short swords and add the Holy Sword card. Of course, before leaving, Rod also specifically asked Little Bubblegum and Canary to patrol the border area of the Land of Atonement every day, and he did not hide his dreams from the two, although it was an illusion created based on the memories in Rod's mind, but after all, it was also thought in the way of the player. So for Rod's dream, of course, they don't think it's just an illusory dream like those aborigines. And as the canary and the little bubble gum who had teamed up with Rhodes to fight against the undead army, they naturally knew the power of the Dragon Kingdom of the Night, and they also nodded in agreement with a serious expression, not only that. Just in case, Rhodes even gave them half of the management authority for the mercenary construction system, and with the help of this authority, he cooperated with the strength of the two. If anything strange dares to cross the border into Rhodes' "power range", the system will immediately detect and warn about it, and if it senses something different. Tiny bubblegum and canaries can be dealt with in the shortest possible time, and with their extensive experience with the undead, there is no possibility of being deceived.

However, while leaving, Rhodes also ran into some minor troubles.

Originally, he just wanted to go alone to save trouble, but when Rod proposed to leave, Anne immediately hit the snake with a stick and pestered Rod to go with Rode. And this time. Rhodes didn't object, as he had planned to follow the path of the Elven Dominion and kill monsters to accumulate experience. With Rhodes' current strength, ordinary thieves and monsters are no longer in his eyes, and he can't get any experience. In addition, after coming to this world, Rhodes' quest system has always been a bit of a child, and almost all tasks are triggered randomly. So there is no way for Rhodes to go to the guild to pick up tasks and then place a dungeon like in the game. Then gain experience to level upβ€”β€”β€” after all, this is the real world, and one copy is not enough for him to go back and forth a few times.

There is no way to accumulate experience through quests and dungeons. Then for Rod, as long as he uses the most primitive and popular methods to continue to improve his strength, β€”β€”β€” farm monsters. It just so happens that in the outer area of the Elven Dominion of the Kingdom of Law, there is a wild monster area of level forty to sixty, although the monsters there are of high level, but they are not as difficult as the elite monsters in the dungeon, and with Rhode's current strength and the single-brush talent of summoning swordsmen, it is not a problem to deal with these wild monsters. There is a lot of experience in skipping monster farming, and this is close to the chaotic place, so I am not afraid that the monster will be killed and there will be no experience to farm. So Rhodes originally planned to farm monsters on the way to the Elven Dominion, upgrade and upgrade at the same time, and at the same time improve the level of the little mermaid. Nothing bad. And Anne's willingness to come is naturally welcome, after all, for Anne, instead of sleeping lazily all day, it is better to go out to fight, maybe you can make a breakthrough.

However, to Rod's surprise, this time, in addition to Anne, there was also an uninvited guest who surprised him.

That's Lijie.

This made Rod feel very curious, in all fairness, Lijie is not the kind of character who particularly likes to go out on adventures, and she follows Rod on weekdays to go out on adventures, more because of Rode's own requirements. He had rarely seen Lizzie offer to join an adventure, but this time, Lizzie was out of the ordinary. After she heard Anne ask to go to the Elven Dominion with Rod, Rod saw that Lijie's face suddenly turned snow-white, and then Lijie actually took the initiative to raise her hand for the first time, asking to follow Rhodes to the Elven Dominion.

This made Rod a little unexpected, since the "emergency" that day, Lijie was very embarrassed when she saw him and the canary again, most of the time she consciously avoided them, and even when she spoke, her face was flushed, and she was embarrassed. There is nothing Rod can do about this, Lijie's character is like this, and Anne is completely different, although she also saw that scene that day, but when she slept the next day, Anne should eat, play, sleep, and sleep, and there was nothing wrong with seeing herself and the canary, as if nothing had happened. But Lijie can't do this, so Rod can only go with Lijie, after all, time is the best medicine to cure everything, as long as she is given enough time, Lijie must still be able to return to normal.

It's just that I didn't expect Lijie to come this time unexpectedly.........

However, Rod could feel that the girl did not let go of the connection in her heart, although she took the initiative to ask to go on the road with Rhodes, but Lijie always avoided Rhodes intentionally or unintentionally, and rarely talked to him as usual, but was more often with Anne, as if she was nervous or something.

It's hard to guess what a woman thinks.

"Commander, Commander!!"

Anne spun around in a circle, then came to Rod's side again, and took his arm affectionately.

"How long will it take to get to that elven Dominion, Anne will be exhausted!"

"There's no need to rush."

Hearing Anne's complaint, Rod couldn't help but glance at her and shook his head.

"At our current speed, it will only take three days at most to reach the Elven Dominion. But I want to make it clear in advance that the customs are different from human society, so you have to be careful not to be so casual. Also, the road to the Elven Dominion is not smooth, and there are many dangers and troubles, so I hope you can prepare for them. ”

"Of course there is no problem, Commander!"

Hearing Rod's words, Anne proudly waved the adamantite heavy shield in her hand, then hugged Rod's arm tightly, and said happily.

"With Anne here, there's absolutely no problem!"

No one noticed that after seeing Anne's movements, Lijie, who had been following behind, lowered her head with a complicated expression, and her eyes showed a little sad expression. (To be continued.) )
