Mercenaries and Adventurers Chapter 311

After listening to Kiel's narration, Priest Batar lamented, raised his hand and rubbed his frowning brows with his fingers: "What a difficult hometown I am...why are the people in this land so difficult?"

Seeing that the priest was depressed, Keir patted the priest on the shoulder, trying to comfort the companion.

"Be careful! Please, don't let this parasitic species touch my body! Their roots should be able to drill directly into the human body, not at all!"

Looking at the three honest human-faced root parasites in the bag, Keir shrugged: "They seem to be quite quiet, when I cut one open with a dagger, that one just swayed its roots, wanting to resist. "

Priest Batar looked helpless, and nodded Kiel's full-covered metal armor: "Others don't have a solid defense like you, and those roots that can parasitize the human body can't do anything to metal. Okay, count me in." Please, Brave Kiel, throw these things into the fire and burn them! They are very dangerous!"

Keir shrugged, although he felt that this kind of human-faced parasite that can parasitize the human body may have other uses, but since his fellow priests have said so, he does not want this strange thing to cause additional casualties and injuries among the refugee team. trouble.

Coincidentally, the timber needed for the overnight campfire in the camp of the wounded and wounded was just delivered, and Keel asked the people who made the fire to speed up the fire. The parasitic species in it, including the small belt, were thrown into the flames in one breath.

"Crack - squeak..."

When these three things saw the fire, they immediately let out a scream, and the countless plant roots stained with dry flesh and blood behind their faces kept shaking vigorously.

As a result, they gained limited mobility, but when they were about to climb out of the fire with their roots, they were kicked back into the fire by Kiel.

After repeating this several times, the very dangerous parasite described by the priest turned into a mass of scorching charcoal and burned to death in the flames.

Purified by fire.

"Let's talk about that cult 'Flesh Demon', maybe we will have to deal with this thing tomorrow. Well, the kind that sees blood."

Kiel stood with his arms folded and his legs apart, and said to the priest who was squatting on the ground.

Priest Batar squatted by the fire, and after confirming that the three things in the fire were 'harmless', he was relieved, turned to Kiel and said, "Tell me what you did first. Come on, I'm a little worried."

In this way, Keir told the priest what happened to the loggers before, and the information he interrogated from the parasitic weirdo before he died.

"But I can't guarantee the authenticity of what I asked, you have to understand."

Keir spread his hands, putting a layer of insurance on his news.

The priest nodded, and turned to Keel to tell what he knew.

It turns out that the so-called cult "flesh demon" happened more than a hundred years ago. At that time, in the depths of a mountain forest that was not under the actual management of the empire, there was a huge tree that was deified by the local alien belief, half plant and half flesh. Warcraft, it rules a very small so-called "alien kingdom". Since this so-called "kingdom" that parasitizes and enslaves alien life is relatively close to the special religious holy places of various human churches in the southwestern part of the empire, this deified monster should be eradicated The task of the empire was officially left to the hands of various nearby human churches and gods.

Needless to say, the entire foreign kingdom in the remote mountain forest was wiped out, but the deified monster that parasitized and enslaved the entire foreign kingdom has never been eradicated.

The opponent's tenacious ability to survive and the strange and dangerous parasitic ability are one aspect. The church troops united by various churches are two-faced, and their minds are not in the same place. Naturally, it is an important reason why the opponent can escape the joint obliteration.

"So?" Keel asked.

The priest warmed himself up by the fire, stretched his waist, and said, "So, that powerful deified monster publicly announced after this incident that it would keep destroying and attacking humans. Of course, he will not confront him head-on, and he will not be a member of the various churches. As a result, he organized an evil church that used his parasitic ability—'Flesh Demon', which secretly developed in the corners of human society and caused trouble everywhere."

Kiel nodded: "So, this is the trouble we're going to face?"

"No."

Priest Batar said firmly.

"No?" Kiel was a little confused: "This body is the church branch of the 'Flesh Demon' cult, led by a so-called prophet who claimed to be the 'Flesh and Blood Slayer' entrenched on the commercial road in front of us, occupying a There are no less than thirty people, or even more, in the villages along the commercial road. Besides, they have also disguised themselves as a bandit organization, heh, they call themselves "hanged ghosts" in the bandit circle."

Keir shook his head when he said this: "So, what do you mean by 'no'?"

Priest Batar confidently took out the protective statue he was still using before, carefully placed it on the open space next to him, knelt down to pray to the statue, and said in his mouth: "In the city of Belizefa When we were studying in the diocesan church, the vice-principal who taught the knowledge clearly told our trainee priests that when encountering such a thing, we should first report to our great Saturn. Then, if possible, inform the nearby other human churches."

"Kiel, as you said just now, they wear more than one layer of skin. Why do they do this? Don't you think it's troublesome? The reason is very simple. Others can't see through what they are. Once the essence is seen through, This small cult branch with more than 30 people will immediately attract strong attacks from various churches."

Keel slapped his forehead and made a metallic bang sound: "So that's it! Are you going to notify Saturn now?"

"Yes. Please wait for me a moment."

After finishing speaking, Priest Batar closed his eyes, and muttered something in a low voice to the statue of the guardian deity that was emitting a faint blue light.

Not long after, a white light slanted down from the dark sky in the distance, and landed on the small statue of the guardian **** on the ground. After the white light fell on the statue, it was divided into two parts and projected towards Priest Batar and Kiel.

Just as Kiel wanted to dodge, he saw Priest Batar was motionless, so he didn't dodge any more, and let the white light pour into his body.

Immediately, Kiel heard two responses from the Great God of Saturn: "I already know that this danger needs to be avoided in order to carry out the mission. Before the end of the month, the hidden danger of the flesh and blood demon here will definitely be eliminated."

Kiel didn't react when he heard Saturn's words. The two sentences sounded like a man or a woman, old or young. After careful recollection, they seemed to be spoken by one person, but they also seemed to be spoken by hundreds of millions of people.

And Priest Batar was very excited, he touched his head deeply to the ground, and tears flowed out of excitement.

For the priests of the church, it is a great gift to be able to hear the direct words of the gods.

This was the only white light that descended from the sky. Priest Batar wanted to ask the God of Saturn again about the predicament of the parish church in Belizefa City, but the God of Saturn did not respond further.

There was no response, and the meaning was naturally the same as before, let Priest Batar take less care of the affairs of Borisfa City, don't rashly intervene in the affairs there, and just do your own mission well.

After waiting for a while, seeing Priest Batar put away the protective statue, Kiel shrugged and said, "So, let's not get in touch with the power of the cult 'Flesh Demon'? Ah, it seems that everyone has to go faster tomorrow. "

The priest tidied up his appearance, and responded: "Yes, I hope we avoid each other, and the other party does not keep pestering us. Kiel, you must know that these guys are different from the previous bandits. If you touch them in battle, you may be killed by these guys." Infested. Well, I gotta check on the loggers."

"Do you want to help? I'll go too." Keel asked quickly.

The priest waved his hand: "You will be busy tomorrow, so go and have a good rest. It's all up to you, go and have a rest."

After finishing speaking, the priest hurriedly walked towards the camp of the loggers. Kiel scratched his nose lightly, and sighed: "I also hope to have a good rest, but I have to sleep well." ah."

Procrastinatingly returning to his tent, before Kiel went in to 'rest', he saw a few people waiting for him at the door of the tent.

Sitting barely on a wooden box was the old businessman he knew. He seemed to have suffered a back injury. Although it was not serious, he was old after all, and it was not a serious trauma for a young man. Said it was half-life.

Even though he had been treated by Priest Batar for two rounds before, he was still quite weak at this moment.

Next to the old businessman, holding his arm was a young man in his early eleven or twelve years old. The exact age was unknown. He was also rescued by Kiel from the bandit lair and was being taken care of by the old businessman. But now it seems that this young man is taking care of the old businessman instead.

Besides, there was another person standing straight beside the old businessman on the other side. Although his left arm was hung on his shoulder by a rope, and his shoulder, chest and abdomen were seriously injured, this young man was Standing straight, the body did not shake.

A pair of eyes are quite bright, reflecting the light of the nearby campfire. What attracted the people around him the most was that besides his thin but refined figure, he also had a handsome face that was rarely seen among ordinary people at this time.

Compared with his face, Keir's face is also far worse.

But when you go out, it doesn't depend on whether you are handsome or not, but on how good you are.

"Mr. Fentigar, do you need something from me?"

Keel asked as he walked over.

In fact, he guessed the general situation when he saw the bandit Will who was insane before and was now injured and sober.

"Good night, Knight Kiel. I'm sorry, as you can see, I really can't get up to salute you with my body like an old tree. Bobo, you can salute Knight Kiel instead of me."

Keir knew that the boy he rescued had a nickname, Bobo, and what his full name was. Keir didn't ask, and he wasn't interested.

"Oh, good grandpa. Good evening, Knight Kiel, and good health."

The boy named Bobo walked towards Kiel like a businessman would do when meeting a nobleman. His movements were standard and smooth. It was obvious that he had a good family background and had received corresponding etiquette education since he was a child.

Kiel tapped his chest with his right hand, returning a simple etiquette when wearing armor.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he raised his chin and said to the bandit Will who was no longer insane: "Then what about this bandit?"

Will's face was originally pale due to blood loss, but now after hearing what Kiel said, he still took on some ruddy color. There will be bursts of water, and it will be difficult to sleep all night.

"Please don't insult me, I'm not a bandit."

Will said in a serious voice.

Keir shook his head: "But I remember the last time I talked to you when I was thinking clearly. Isn't your identity a bandit? Or, kill my men and help the notorious mountain wolf Barney work, you Can you tell you're not a bandit?"

Will gritted his teeth and insisted: "I have never killed a merchant or commoner on the commercial road. That mountain wolf Barney was just a friend I met on the road. I was hunted down and had nowhere to go before I took refuge in He. But I promise, when I'm with Mountain Wolf Barney, I'm only responsible for the security of his bandit gang's lair, and I'm also responsible for participating in the battle when we fight with other bandits."

After hearing this, Keir laughed angrily: "So, in the days when you were a bandit, you actually killed a lot of bandits? Oh~ I have to thank you for the managers of the Whitestone City Wall Checkpoint and Dorne Town, right? ?”

Hearing the sarcasm in Knight Kiel's tone, Will shook his body and was about to lift his foot to leave.

Just as he took a few steps angrily, two voices stopped him.

"Will the Bandit, did I let you go? Come back!"

This is what Kiel uttered. As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight armed people with swords and knives who were in charge of guarding the Kiel knight's camp nearby drew out their weapons and blocked the road.

"Will! How did you promise me before you came here! Please come back and explain things clearly! You only have this one chance, chance!"

It was the voice of the old businessman of Fentigar, his voice was very weak, so it was not loud, but Keel noticed that Will, who was ignoring the surrounding situation, stopped after hearing the old businessman's words.

It seemed that the injuries on his body were serious, and the hostility with the people around him didn't scare Will at all, and the pace of leaving didn't slow down by half. He may die under the knife, but it seems to be dead, and the young man doesn't care about it.

Death, like madness, seemed to be a means of escape chosen spontaneously by the young man to get rid of the pressure that was overwhelming him.

The young man stood still, and walked back step by step under the gaze of swords and swords around him.

It seemed that the surrounding swords were like the air, without threat or weight.

Kiel snorted, waved his hand, and asked the people around him to put away their weapons: "I can cut a guy like this in two with one sword. Don't worry, everyone, go back to rest and work."

Hearing what the Kiel knight said, the onlookers who knew the knight's strength all left separately. However, this place is only a few steps away from Kiel's new camp, so the armed people guarding the camp did not go far, and they still stood by and stared at this place.

After Will came back, he still stood by the side of the old businessman, and he did not look at the Kiel knight who was looking over, but looked down slightly at the grass on the ground repeatedly trampled by everyone.

"Ahem, Knight Kiel, that's right."

The old businessman felt that he could not let two capable and temperamental young people talk alone. If he wanted to solve the opportunity in his mouth and let Will integrate into the refugee team, he had to convince the leader of the refugee team—— Knight Keir .

"Will suddenly became sober from madness when the bandits attacked the team before. He killed three vicious bandits in a row. Although I can't say that the good guys in our team are worthless, I believe you understand that What does it represent?" The old businessman spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but fortunately the two people beside him could hear him clearly, and Keel, who was listening to him, also had sensitive ears.

"Hmph, three bandits' lives for the lives of one of my subordinates." Kiel breathed out, "Huh... I can't say that these two are on the balance, and one life on my side can equal the three lives of the bandits. In fact, I thank you for solving the three bandits, but I can't forget how you cut off my neck with a sword."

The young man Will raised his chin slightly, and said slowly: "Then there is nothing to say? Mr. Fentigar, let it be."

"Wait."

It was the old businessman who stopped and said, "Wait a minute, Knight Kiel has already forgiven you."

The young man Will glanced at Keir in surprise: "When?"

Keir also hurriedly said: "When did I forgive him? I never said that! Don't talk nonsense, everyone is a decent person, and you have to be responsible for what you say."

The old businessman smiled, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com said to Kiel: "Master Knight, I believe I can replace this young man here to make a guarantee. , and did not directly harm innocent people. But I believe that in our team, he will definitely be able to use his own abilities to provide strength for the team. Will, don't you think so?”

The young man Will was stunned, as if he hadn't heard such a thoughtful word for him for a long time, and he seemed to think of the days long ago. But he quickly came back to his senses and looked at the old businessman beside him.

The old businessman was waiting for his response, looking at him expectantly with a pair of cloudy eyes. And this pair of eyes, like a pair of solid arms that can pull people out of the mud, is reliable and full of hope for life.

"Yes... yes." Taking a breath, the young man Will raised his head, looked into the eyes of Knight Kiel, looked at him, and affirmed with loud words: "Yes! I will use my strength , protect this team of people, and obey your orders!"

He paused, then added: "I swear by my family!"

Kiel shook his head back: "Family? What family?"

Hearing this sentence, Will hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell his life experience, it was a truth that could completely wipe out this small team of hundreds of people.

However, the old businessman coughed twice, and said slowly: "Will, this is the Kingdom of St. Hulls. Knight Kiel and I believe that no matter where you come from, they must not control this newly established, but extremely powerful kingdom. .”

Will nodded after listening, and sat cross-legged on the grass, as if the pressure of telling his life experience made him unable to stand up.

"I come from the Confederate kingdoms in the South..."
