Chapter 27: Paper Puppet Scarecrow (Part I)

[Toothache, in this happy day. Strive to send another chapter.,Don't wait.,It's the same tomorrow.,It won't affect tomorrow's update]

Unbeknownst to him, Salin cast another level of magic, pouring the water of repair into the glass and drinking it himself.

Put on airs!

It's not just Walnut who thinks so, casting magic is to consume magic strings, and casting a first-level magic for no reason is just to quench your thirst. Even Flamenco ranked Saleen as a first-class mage, and felt sorry in his heart.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, everyone's attention was focused on Nellis's body, Walnut realized that she was a little out of shape, smiled awkwardly, raised her glass, hid the uneasiness in her heart, and drank it all.

After dinner, Salin and the others went back to their rooms, but the people of the Nut Mercenary Group all gathered in Flamengo's room to listen to Flamengo's arrangement of this mission.

"In this mission, everyone earned not gold coins, but two pieces of phlogopite. Walnut, you're a magician, this doesn't mean much to you, what compensation do you need?"

Walnut knew the temper of the regiment leader, and replied very happily: "Just discount as usual, I still want one-eighth." ”

"Okay, those two pieces of phlogopite, I estimate the value at 2000 gold coins, if you have no opinion, you can divide 160 gold coins. Seeing that Walnut did not object, Flamenco nodded with satisfaction and said to the others: "This mission is not difficult, our escort targets themselves have combat effectiveness, except for Aini." However, after all, Ani is a member of the Clyde family, and will have certain means of saving his life. We're going to focus on protecting the magician named Saleen. ”

"Why?" asked Walnut.

"Because the reward for our mission is probably on him. The first-level mage has no close combat power, Brother Wachowski, you are responsible for protecting him closely, taking care of the Caucasian warrior named Sika, and assisting her in defense if necessary. The Caucasian fighters are all good, I see that she has a boomerang hanging from her waist, and she has a certain long-range attack ability, and if there is a real fight, we will rely on her to relieve some of the pressure. ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

The Wachowski brothers were heavy swordsmen in the regiment and had the thickest armor, and they usually assisted Walnut in battle.

"Javelin, you do scouts. ”

"What about me?" Walnut was puzzled when she saw that Flamengo had assigned the scout's task to the only spear soldier in the regiment. In the past, he relied on his own puppets to act as scouts, why did the head change his habits this time?

"You're with me, in charge of support. ”

Walnut thought about it and understood what the head of the regiment meant. If you're in charge of supporting the battle, you'll avoid consuming a lot of cores or scrolls. The income from this mission is not very good, and if the consumption is too large, the gains outweigh the losses. If you detect the puppet yourself, you will continue to consume the second-level demon core, and it will take three months, which is not a small amount of money.

"Raul, you four, just protect Aini. We don't have any cars this time, we all ride horses, watch out for the bandits' bows and arrows, nothing else is a big problem. ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

"If the employer is physically fit to do so, let's walk an extra hour every day, and everyone can go back and check their equipment, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Walnut, you stay, the rest of the people, disperse. With a wave of his hand, Flamengo sent his men away, leaving the magician alone.

That night, Naris's moaning sounded in Sarin's room, confirming everyone's suspicions. Salin definitely came from a large family and became a magician by the power of gold coins. How could a real magician still indulge in lust, let alone with his own maid.

There is no way for such a magician to have a future.

The Skochenians, after all, are nouveau riche, and they are really a shame for the profession of magicians.

Salin didn't think about these problems, once he was on the road, he couldn't use the badge to exercise, he had to hurry up and use every second. Each time he uses the badge, his mental power can be slightly enhanced, and the effect is much stronger than that of meditation. As a magician, who would be afraid of having a lot of mental power?

The sound of breathing in the room gradually subsided, and Saleen lay on the bed, suddenly alarmed. Outside the window, a palm-sized shadow came through the gap in the window, but it was a paper figure.

The facial features of this paper figure were drawn with a red pen, and the colors were bright, making it look a little hideous. As soon as it entered the window, it tried to slip down the wall to the ground, but Salin sat up suddenly, and the white light in his hand shot out almost instantly.

Saleen's icicle technique was the magic he was most familiar with, and it was the first level of magic he learned. The disadvantage of this magic is that the range is too close, and Saleen was in the mangrove forest, so he had to rely on the shield of water ripples to protect himself, desperately closing the distance between him and the archers in order to exert the power of this magic.

The rooms in the hotel are not large, and there is no problem with magic range. The icicle accurately penetrated the paper figure's body, pinning it to the wall. The paper figure struggled, making a low squeak, trying to escape by tearing open the wound with his hands.

Neris jumped up from the floor and pounced like a leopard, ripping the paper figure off the wall and pinching it in the palm of her hand. The paper man stared at Neris's face with a fierce eyebrow, his eyes still rolling in the red pen. Nellis put the paper figure under her nose, sniffed, and suddenly opened her mouth and swallowed the paper figure.

"Nellis!" Salin was startled, he was afraid that Neris had fallen into some kind of witchcraft.

Naris returned to the bedside, sat down on the floor, and whispered, "It's a paper puppet, a very old spell." ”

"How do you understand?" said Salin, puzzled. Since Neris came to the continent of Myers, she has been trapped in the temple of the goddess of nature, how can she understand human magic?

Nellis pointed to her head and said, "Here, I can't tell." ”

"Will you use it?"

"I just have an impression. ”

Salin didn't sense that Neris was lying and believed her words. Many of the demon's abilities are passed down by bloodline and do not require the guidance of a teacher. This is where demons are stronger than humans. But it seems that humans have had this ability a long time ago. I don't know why, with the fall of the Second Dynasty, this ability became weaker and weaker, and it completely disappeared thousands of years ago.

In a guest room not far away, Walnut snorted, blood oozed from her mouth and nose, and she fell limply on the bed.

He hadn't expected Saleen to be so sensitive and able to break the spiritual imprint in his puppetry. Before he could see the situation in Saleen's room, his puppet had been destroyed.

Walnut's facial features were distorted, and the expression of the paper man was even more hideous. Flamenco left him alone, and specifically told him not to provoke Saleen.

Walnut is submissive on the surface, but angry in his heart.

You're just richer than I am, and if I had been born into a rich family, you'd have been a great magician a long time ago. Hiding her anger in front of Flamingo, Walnut returned to her room, irritated by the sounds coming from Salin's room. The evil thoughts in my heart can no longer be suppressed.

So he quietly released a paper puppet, trying to take advantage of Saleen's exhaustion. Even if you can't kill Saleen, you might still have a chance to steal something from Saleen.

If you can steal that white crystal ring, it will be worth it even if you quit the Nut Mercenary Group. After taking the things, he immediately went away and flew away, what could Flamengo do even if he was angry, Lao Tzu quit!

He was careful enough to quietly detect Saleen's room and didn't use a magic alarm, which allowed the paper golem to burrow into the window, and who knew that the puppet would be spotted immediately.

Walnut wiped the blood from his face vigorously, ignoring the injuries on his body, grabbed his carry-on skin, carried it behind his back, pushed open the door, and sneaked out.

Now that Saleen has discovered his paper puppet, it is no longer possible for him to stay in the Nut Mercenary Regiment. It's exposed, and Flamenco will kill him.

The most taboo thing for the professional union is that the mercenary betrays the employer, once such a thing happens, if you don't deal with it as the head of the group, your mercenary group will be removed from the list, and it will also be on the wanted list.

Flamenco would not take the entire mercenary group for himself, Walnut knew in his heart that if he didn't have this special skill, how could a fifth-level mercenary group look at himself as a second-level magician. The current situation does not allow him to regret it, so he can only leave here as soon as possible, and never appear in the Qin Yin Empire from now on.

Taking advantage of the night, Walnut left the hotel and fled out of town in a hurry. The farther away from the hotel, the more aggrieved he felt in his heart. Why, I didn't have a good life as Salin. And for the sake of this damn mage, he actually had to leave the country where he had lived for many years, and he would wander in a foreign land from now on.

He didn't think that Salin hadn't provoked him from beginning to end, and that it was all his jealousy that caused this outcome.

"What people!"

Walnut came to the city gates, and the soldiers in charge of the night patrol found him. A town of this size wouldn't be so guarded at all if it weren't at the border. It's too close to the Swamp of Chaos, and monsters often appear on the outskirts of the city.

"It's me. Walnut replied casually, but began to hold the spell with both hands. The two soldiers on night patrol were wondering that the walnut's magic had been completed.

"Die!"

Two rock-forming spikes bulged from the ground and pierced into the crotches of the two soldiers, straight into the abdominal cavity. At this moment, Walnut mistook the two soldiers who blocked him for Salin, and he couldn't hold back the killing at all.

The two soldiers were originally ordinary people, and under the attack of second-level magic, they had no ability to resist and were killed instantly. After killing people, Walnut still felt that the resentment in his chest could not be eliminated, and threw two more fireballs on the corpse, completely incinerating the two soldiers into ashes, and then used a huge force technique, pushed open the city gate, and walked away.

After killing the soldiers, Walnut was also a little afraid, and did not dare to take the main road, and followed the path to the east. He didn't dare to go west, the forest in the west was not accessible to him as a second-level magician, and if he wanted to leave the Duchy of Phoenix, he could only detour, pass through the Duchy of the Rhine, and leave the Duchy of Garulan.

Walnut walked faster and faster, and suddenly a kind of pleasure was inspired in his heart, thinking about the situation of killing two soldiers, he actually laughed in a low voice, and was completely enchanted. He didn't notice that as he passed through a wheat field, a scarecrow in the wheat field suddenly turned around and jumped up behind him.
