Chapter 70: My Territory, My Decision

"Did he really say that?"

Locks raised his head and looked at his men in amazement—standing in front of him was the same young knight who had stopped Jenn before.

"Yes, my lord, he said he had a knack for adventures in the dark and would be able to help us, I don't know if he was telling the truth, but the man seemed confident......... Of course, it is also arrogant. ”

“……………”

Hearing his subordinates' report, Locks frowned and pondered for a moment. Now that the Parade Bishop of Alex has died, as punishment, Locks has been stripped of the authority to lead the Paladins in a search of the Dark Regions, and the entire Paladins have been handed over to Archbishop Bosen's cronies to command. The only thing Locks could do now was to keep the Temple's stronghold behind the Dark Regions safe and assign those mercenaries. Although on the surface, Locks can command many more people than the Paladin, but Locks is also very clear that this is another trap that Bosson has set for himself. If these guys make a little more trouble, Bosson can accuse himself of "poor command" and further deprive him of his authority.

In fact, not all of these mercenaries are a group of rice buckets, they come to the dark region, naturally for the sake of profit, but they also have a certain strength, otherwise they can't even beat the bandits and wolves on the side of the road, and they plan to die when they come to the dark region?

It's a pity that although the strength of these mercenaries is not bad, they just don't listen to commands, which is no wonder. After all, the army and mercenaries are not impossible, the army pays attention to orders and prohibitions, and mercenaries will never rush forward if they have no interests. In addition, without unified training, the battle is extremely chaotic, and it is thankful not to cut down your own people.

Of course, these are all problems, and the biggest problem is that no one is familiar with this dark region, and they often take it one step at a time. From time to time, someone goes missing, and I'm afraid that I can't find a way out in the tunnels that are more troublesome than the labyrinth, and the result is either dying of thirst and starvation or being killed by underground monsters. There were even some mercenaries who went to eat underground mushrooms out of curiosity, and as a result, they were poisoned. This qiē is because they know so little about the dark regions that they don't know what to do.

If, as his subordinates say, someone is familiar with the situation in the Dark Regions, then that's a good thing, but ...............

"Do you think he has the ability?"

"I can't say this well..............."

Hearing Locks' inquiry, the young knight suddenly frowned.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I don't believe it. The man looked to be in his early twenties, very young, and you don't see him dressed brightly from head to toe, he looked like a nobleman going to a banquet, and he looked like an adventurer. But ..............."

Saying this, the young knight hesitated slightly.

"That guy was really confident, it didn't feel like he was bragging, and the girl next to him was ......... Looks like he's supposed to be a mid-level mage. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rockton's eyes lit up.

There are also spellcasters in the temple, but due to the nature of the temple, it is natural that most of them are priests. The priest is good at healing and dispelling, but when it comes to combat and damage, it is the mage who is more skilled. In this operation, the temple did not send invitations to mages, but there were very few mages who were really willing to come to the dark region. In a stronghold like the one where Locks is now, there are nearly a hundred people, including mercenaries, but except for the five military priests, there is no longer half of the spellcaster. If there is really a mid-level mage joining, then it will definitely be able to greatly improve the combat effectiveness. A mid-level mage, thirty mercenaries at the top!

"Your Excellency, do you want to see them?"

“……………… No. ”

But in the face of his subordinates' inquiries, Locks shook his head after pondering for a moment. At the same time, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"But since they have such self-confidence, then I want to see what they are capable of."

Jenn didn't pay attention to Locks' thoughts, and at the moment he was sitting on the stone chair, leisurely flipping through a large book with a white cover in his hand. On the surface, the book looks indistinguishable from the holy books used by the priests of the Templar Order to pray, except that the edges are bordered by gold, which looks a little mysterious.

This is exactly what Jenn received after completing the [Evil Eye] quest, the Encyclopedia of Ten Thousand Laws.

The name of this "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" sounds very atmospheric, but in fact the purpose is a bit chicken. It automatically records a spell assigned by the wielder and targets it as a research target. In other words, if Jenn takes a fancy to a certain spell, he can designate the Book of Ten Thousand Laws to include it, and then take it to the big library to study, as long as the research is successful, then Jenn himself can release the spell. To put it bluntly, this encyclopedia of ten thousand laws just gives a clear goal to the spells that were originally randomly researched.

It's just that this "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" also has its own shortcomings, that is, it can only record one period of spells at a time, which means that if Jenn takes a fancy to a spell, then he must at least watch this spell cast several times before he can completely record it. This also depends on the length and strength of the spell itself, the more powerful the spell, the longer the spell will naturally be, and it is obviously impossible to copy such a spell if you want to read it ten times or eight times in a row. Even if it is Jenn, if ten legendary spells are smashed down, he is half-crippled if he is not dead.

However, as an auxiliary prop, "The Complete Book of Ten Thousand Laws" is still a bit interesting.

As soon as he revealed his identity, the young knight went to report to the chief paladin. Of course, the other party did not neglect himself, but found another paladin to lead the way for him, obviously afraid that they would cause any more trouble in the stronghold. Jenn didn't care much about this, but took the opportunity to secretly stuff the paladin with a few gold coins, and asked him to arrange a cave next to the stronghold for himself as a temporary residence. Although it is a little remote and the safety is not guaranteed, as long as you can stay away from those lowly and vulgar mercenaries, a quiet environment is enough for Jenn.

"My lord, do you really want to help these humans?"

After taking the trio to the cave, the paladin smiled and left with the gold coins Jensei had given him, while Bix began to pack up and tidy up. Only Elise frowned slightly, stood beside Jenn, and asked in a low voice.

"Why, isn't it okay?"

Hearing Elise's inquiry, Jenn chuckled and looked at the girl beside him. In the face of Jenn's inquiry, Elise shook her head.

"My father once warned me never to trust humans, because you never know what they are thinking, and by the time you do, it's often too late to remedy! The other races are very simple, the snake people are the snake people, the gray dwarves are the gray dwarves, the bear goblins are ugly and stupid, and the dark elves are insidious and cunning, but humans are different, they are changeable and elusive, and they are people of light, but they wander in the darkness. Even more ferocious than our dark people. For this kind of race, it is better to completely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no trouble. ”

"If it were so easy, humanity would have been wiped out a long time ago, and it wouldn't be alive until now."

Hearing Elise's words, Jenn smiled and shook his head. Of course he knew why Elite hated humans so much, and half-vampires were born between humans and vampires. And of course, there is no shortage of true love like "400 Years of Shock", but more often than not, it is the vampire who takes a fancy to the beautiful human girl, and then forcibly takes it away and uses it as a blood bank and venting. And some of them were rescued, but they were pregnant with vampire children and were born half-vampires.

These half-vampires were adorable as children, like angels. The beauty of the handsome men and the beautiful women will attract countless eyeballs when they are older, making those mortals addicted to their beauty. Naturally, there are not many marriage and love proposals.

But a half-vampire is a half-vampire after all, and the blood of the half-vampire seed in the body will awaken one day after all. When the blood awakens, they will be like beasts hungry for blood, frantically attacking those around them, transforming from angels to demons. Because of this, ordinary people are strictly guarded against half-vampires, so that they can be discriminated against and insulted on the surface, and for half-vampires, they don't want to be like this. Therefore, they naturally hate this repetitive behavior of human beings even more, they hate human beings, and they hate the half of human blood in their bodies even more. Because of this, many half-vampires end up attacking humans in an attempt to make themselves pure vampires. Since the other party doesn't care that they have half human blood in their bodies, then the half-vampire naturally won't take the initiative to have any blood relationship with humans.

Just like Elise, although she, as a perfect body, does not need to have the urge to suck blood like a half-vampire, and has almost no difference in appearance from a human. But she is still very cautious to completely isolate herself from humans into two different races, making it clear that she looks down on these humans.

"Besides, what can you do now that you destroy them? Human fecundity is comparable to that of goblins. Like this stronghold, as you can see, we used to turn this place into ruins, but in the blink of an eye they repaired it, and more people came. Even if we kill again, the situation will not change. On the contrary, there will be more and more of them, and eventually the entire dark region will be turned upside down, you won't understand this truth. ”

"But ..............."

Hearing this, Elise frowned slightly, she was ice and snow smart, but she didn't know much about human beings, and the only thing she knew was the words and deeds of the people in Black Onyx Stone City. At this moment, listening to Jenn mention a few words, I knew that these humans would definitely not give up. Still, she didn't understand what it had to do with Jenn disguised as a human to join their team.

"Knock Knock Knock ..............."

At this moment, with the sound of heavy footsteps, the figure of the young knight from before soon appeared in front of the cave again. Seeing his appearance, Jenn narrowed his eyes and showed an expression that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.

"What's the matter? Mr. Knight? ”

"That's right."

Walking into the cave, the young knight first glanced at the clean cave that had been cleaned up by Bix, and then spoke.

"Just now there was news from the stronghold that our patrol was attacked by underground monsters on the periphery, and in order to prevent similar things from happening again, we plan to organize a team to completely eliminate these monsters wandering around the stronghold. After hearing the news of Mr. Jenn, Master Locks ordered you to join the team with your companions in order to complete the mission, I wonder what you think? ”

Hearing this, Jenn smiled slightly.

It seems that the drama has finally arrived.
