Chapter 679: Meeting Old Friends on the Road
After a short break of a few hours, Henry and his party hit the road again. At this time, two more members were added to the team, and that was Robert and Allen. They hadn't even eaten breakfast, and hurried out of the Wood Elf's camp against the slightly cloudy sky, and headed north along the avenue in the direction of Askatra.
According to Aamon's idea, he originally planned to return in a dragon, which was not only safe and fast, but also very windy. But Henry wanted to try to see if he could meet the Mithril Five on the road like in the game, and invite them to join the siege of Joan. Irenikas's team, so the girl's idea was completely ruined, and for this reason she pouted for more than ten hours in a row, and her eyes were full of resentment.
Apodell gloated, "Hey, man, you're annoying us with our naughty bags, be careful with your purse and belongings, as they can disappear at any moment." ”
"If I were to take care of Jasila more, as a man I'm really disappointed with your progress." Henry replied without showing weakness.
Obviously, this sentence is now the death hole of the son of Baal, and it choked him enough in an instant, almost not even gasping for breath, while Jasila, who is another party, was flushed, and immediately tightened his hood, hiding all his expressions, completely a posture of beating to death and not admitting it.
Just as Apodell was about to say something back, Robert, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his left hand to signal everyone to be quiet, followed by his ear and carefully listened to the sound coming from the woods, and it didn't take long for everyone to hear a faint quarrel.
"I have sued you, Bruno. The road has already been crossed. Are you sure you know where to go? I always felt like we were going around in circles in the same place all the time. ”
"Come less. Genie. I may be old. But memory hasn't started to decline yet! If it hadn't been for Wolfgar knocking it out of my hands, we wouldn't have had to look here again and again! ”
"Damn, it's a frame-up, Bruno. I didn't touch your hammer! ”
"No, it's you, boy! While you're running around in the middle of the fight, my attention is focused on the foul-smelling troll, and you're knocked me down. That's right. You did it, I remember it clearly. ”
"Uh...... Don't get excited, we'll find it, but Trist is curious about ......"
He wondered if my head was still awake, Katie. Brill, you don't have to explain, girl. I can tell you for sure that my head is fine, I am very clear, and I will be able to find the lost hammer in no time! I'm not going to leave it to those stinking goblins! ”
"Hmm...... That might be. Dear Bruno. Maybe your cute little hammer is in the hands of some big goblin. ”
"Glutton, you dare to criticize my hammer one more time. When you get it back, you'll be the first person to be flattened by it. ”
……
Hearing these slightly familiar voices, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, and he said to his teammates with a smile: "It seems that we have met acquaintances, believe me, this meeting will be interesting." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, five figures emerged from the woods in front of him. Among them, the leader is none other than Trist, a famous ranger from the Northlands who wears Mithril chain mail and has dark skin. He was followed by a tall blonde barbarian, armed with a warhammer that shimmered with a strong magical aura, undoubtedly Wolfgar.
They were followed by two short figures, the bearded one was the dwarf Bruno, and the halfling who always walked dodged must be the thief Regis, and the last human woman with long brown hair was the only shooter in the team - Katie. Brill.
When the Mithril Five found Henry, they immediately showed a surprised expression, especially the dwarf Bruno, who likes to nag, rubbed his eyes vigorously and said to himself: "The gods are above!" Is that guy Henry? He looks exactly like he did ten years ago, as if he hasn't grown up at all! ”
"No, old man, I saw him in the Baldur's Gate area a few months ago, and it wasn't like that." Trist whispered a denial of the claim. He remembered clearly that near the Gnoll Fortress, Henry looked like he was in his twenties, and although he still looked young, there was definitely a clear gap between him and now.
The barbarian Wolfgar touched his chin and said in a very affirmative tone, "Maybe some kind of spell was used, but mages like him always like to do strange things, like those members of the Hubbell family. ”
"Just ask him if he himself, I'll have to say hello sooner or later. Don't be stunned, show Xiàn's enthusiasm, after all, he is also our friend, isn't he? Regis shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant expression.
"Well, I think the gluttonous guy has a point, and we've been muttering here for a long time, which is a bit rude." As he spoke, Trist took the lead in opening his arms and gave Henry a warm hug. "It's a pleasure to see you again, my friend. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you seem to have changed a lot. ”
Henry smiled helplessly and explained: "No way, too many things have happened during this time, maybe you have heard some rumors, a powerful and evil mage Joan. Irenikas is preparing to destroy the Elven city of Sodenisla, located deep in the forest of Verdath. Now this appearance is thanks to him, it is an immensely powerful curse of time, which keeps my body growing in reverse, and unless I find a way to crack it, it will not take a few years to degenerate into a baby. ”
"Oh...... Merikai (the Goddess of the Forest and the Ranger) bless, this is not good news. Trist subconsciously frowned. I had only heard that an army of monsters was heading south in the Shattertooth Mountains, and I was going to investigate what was going on, but now it seems that the mastermind behind it has been found. ”
"Hah! I knew that the person who could do such a thing must be an evil wizard, just like the tyrant Akar who wanted to rule the Ten Towns. Kaisso. Wolfga's tone was filled with contempt and disdain, fully demonstrating his disgust for magic and its users.
Bruno's reaction was similar. I saw him spat hard and shouted loudly: "That's good." Boy. The best way for a guy like the other party is to smash his head. Then he could no longer think about those evil plans. ”
Hearing that the more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, Henry couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "No, no, no, this time the enemy is the same as Akar. Kaisuo's idiot who is controlled by the shattered demon crystal is completely different. Perhaps you've tried your best to go through countless adventures, slaying white dragons, black dragons, giants, snow monsters, trolls, and even a lesser demon lord, Ertu. But I can inform, in charge, that they are not as dangerous as the enemy this time together. ”
"Sue me, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" Katie. Brill asked rhetorically, glaring. Clearly, she didn't believe in any enemy more dangerous than the dragons and Ertu.
"On the contrary, Joan. Irenikas has perhaps become one of the most powerful individuals in the entire Main Plane, and if there is one word to describe it, it is to consider him a god. After saying that, Henry's face suddenly became very stern.
Although it was difficult for him to determine the specific strength of this legendary mage now, judging from the situation of the last crazy extraction of the Tree of Life in the game, it would definitely not be much worse than a weak-grade divine power. Coupled with the terrifying power of being a legendary mage, it is definitely more difficult to deal with than a mere god incarnation.
Trist, who has lived in the dark region for many years, knows a little more. Immediately nervously asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Henry nodded without hesitation: "I'm sure." He has succeeded in taking away the killing divinity that belonged to Apodel, if he absorbs the power of the Tree of Life in the Elven City. In an instant, he will become a powerful true god, and at the same time, the entire forest of Verdas may be destroyed along with it. As a friend or as a druid, I would never allow this to happen. ”
"How about counting me as one? As a ranger who believes in the goddess Mericay, I also can't sit idly by and watch such a villain act recklessly. Trist smiled slightly, looked up and said to himself.
"Hey! Elf, you forgot about us. Bruno protested dissatisfied.
Wolfgar thumped his chest hard and roared loudly: "That's right, my hammer is eager to drink the blood of the evil mage!" Tampas warriors are never afraid to fight! ”
Looking at the proud faces of his friends behind him, Trist turned around and spread his hands at Henry: "Okay, it seems that you are going to add five people to your team at once." ”
"Welcome, it's an honor to be with you again." Saying that, Henry owed with a smile on his face.
With these few warriors with high martial arts, it will be much easier to deal with magically immune enemies like the Golem and the Raksha. Especially Wolfgar's magic warhammer, the power of throwing is absolutely extraordinary, and ordinary stone golems are afraid that they will fall apart after a few hits.
After a brief introduction, the two teams quickly became acquainted. It was the first time that Trist had seen his fellow citizens who were not evil on the surface, and it didn't take long for him to start chatting with Solaufen, teaching him what he needed to know to survive in the human world. He seemed so happy, perhaps because he had finally found a dark elf who was very similar to himself, or maybe he had seen something called hope.
Ten minutes later, the famous drow ranger finally ended the conversation, approached Henry again, and whispered, "Thank you, Solaufen has rekindled hope in my countrymen." The Dark Elves weren't inherently evil, it was Rose who was forcing them to do so. ”
"You're welcome, I promise you'll see more and more dark elves who aren't evil in the future." As he spoke, Henry glanced at Viconia and Verva, who were sitting on the ground resting silently. They have changed a lot in recent times, especially the young Huelva, who is basically not contaminated with any bad habits, and believes that as long as they change an environment, more than sixty percent of the dark elves will change.
"By the way, what's your plan? To deal with such a formidable enemy, it is certainly not enough for us alone. Trist finally ended his emotions and began to ask about business.
Henry nodded lightly and replied, "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything." You take Bruno and the others to the Wood Elf camp in the south for a few days, and when I recapture the Lane Lamp Horse, I'll rush over and launch a final counterattack......" (To be continued......
