Chapter four hundred and twentieth chase and escape
"Click."
Looking at the cracked crystal ball in front of him, Dake raised his eyebrows in surprise. He stared at the crystal ball in front of him in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he saw in his eyes, but he could not ignore it. This fact was so clear that he could not even find any excuses.
The vulture lost?
Dark was not willing to believe this fact, but it was the fact. As Rhodes had expected, there were always some means between the undead creatures that could determine each other's life and death. Now, the vulture's life stone was shattered on its own eyelids, which made Dark feel a hint of anxiety - and unprecedented fear.
This is a rare thing for undead creatures, but at this moment, Dark was really scared. Because this was a big trouble for Dark. Now this poor necromancer has even begun to tremble slightly. As long as the adult above learned that he had lost the list of bones and even implicated the vultures to die, his good life will come to an end.
No wonder Dake was so nervous. After all, this mission was a very heavy courage for him. In the Dark Night Dragon, the four major families have been competing with each other for a long time. With the emergence of the new Dark Dragon Soul, the current Dark Night Dragon Kingdom is undergoing unprecedented changes. The power and power struggle between the new and old aristocrats are all things happening in this country.
Dak is a member of the Barund family, the "soul-chaser" of the four major families of the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom. This family is the pillar of the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom. Most of the members of the family are necromancers, lichs and death knights. The former Barund family was the leader of the four major families of the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom, but now, their status is a bit loose. Although it is not yet at a precarious level, it is no longer as reliable as before.
The Barund family is facing internal and external troubles. Within the four major families, the "Blood Earl" and "Fallen Angel" who wanted to replace it and seize the title of the first family have been eyeing it covetously. However, the weakest "Master" family among the four major families this time was not known where they were attracted by the Dark Dragon. They emerged and became the most powerful competitor of the "Soul Chaser" family. This is just a struggle within the four major families. If you look outward, many emerging forces who are newborn calfs are not afraid of tigers are also delusions to pull this powerful first family down and replace it.
Under such circumstances, the "soul-chaser" Baronde naturally did not surrender. The Baronde family was able to maintain their status in the Dark Night Dragon forever, relying on a strong history, loyalty, and merit. That's right, merit is the foundation of the Baronde family. After all, in a dead country, the Death Knight, Lich and Necromancer are all considered the main legion of battle, and it is precisely because of this that they can master the foundation of the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom. Unlike those who are
The blood-sucking species hiding in the dark, besides doing intelligence and assassination work, are useless. Although the humans led by the "master" Garcia have the largest number of supporters in the Dark Dragon Kingdom, those fragile living people cannot fight like an immortal legion. They may be able to bring distinct vitality to the empire, but they have lasting development. As for the "fallen angels", a group of betrayers who are rebellious and destiny, it is impossible to imagine themselves as grand.
Once upon a time, the Barundes were so glorious, but now they must also fight to show their abilities to the new emperor.
It was also under this background that Dark was sent here, hoping that he could make contributions here and become a cornerstone of the rise of the Barund family. But now, Dark feels that this wonderful future is getting farther and farther away from him.
You should know that due to his sensitive identity, there have always been special people here. This time, in order to achieve his goal, the Barund family even made some measures, so he barely inserted Dak, his own person. What he had to do was very simple, that is, accept the work of his predecessors, continue to develop spies in the Principality of Moon, and then obtain information. Of course, the most important thing is not to let the people of the Principality of Moon discover that in a country ruled by angels, the necromancer is not just unpopular.
Dak has always been very cautious, and to be honest, his strength is not weak. Dak's own strength cannot be underestimated in a country with strength as the level of rank. Like a vulture, he has master-level power and is also a necromancer who has entered the inner ring. Within the Barund family, Dak is also a very loyal "genius" figure. It is precisely because of his cautiousness that the Barund family finally sent him here.
However, a spellcasting genius does not mean that he has a political mind. Dark can reach the master level within decades. Those difficult and obscure necromancers are simply simple for him as if they were a primary school student's question. However, he really doesn't know much about this work. Many times, experience can be compensated with time. However, some things are not that simple.
It's like this conflict with his own eyeliner this time. In the present, Dark is a typical high IQ and low EQ, and he doesn't understand the thoughts of others. Not to mention, he has just left the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom for not long. For Dark, those fragile living people are just "low bugs" and are not worthy of their attention at all. They just need to do what they ask for, like dogs.
It is also because of this that after Dark found that he had caught such a valuable goal of the daughter of the Eagle City Lord, he decisively abandoned the unlucky eyeliner and tried to convert Natasha into his heartfelt subordinate. For Dark, a city lord's daughter is obviously much more valuable than an ordinary officer and general, and he had never cared about the idea of the guy who was abandoned by him, it was just a bug. Since he had discovered a more expensive bug than it, then the bug just needs to be thrown away. Why care about what it thought?
But Dake did not expect that it was this bug that bit him hard. It was no wonder that the other party was just an ordinary human, and his life was limited. In order to obtain infinite life, even if it was false, he betrayed his soul. Now, when he found that his choice did not bring him the result he wanted, he naturally would not be so willing to give up.
So he took advantage of Dark's ceremony to lead his subordinates to launch a surprise attack on Dark, and finally forced Dark to interrupt the ceremony to deal with this annoying bastard. Although he successfully stopped the idiot's idiot's idiot behavior, Dark did not expect that in the end, his efforts failed and the woman actually ran away in the random way!!!
This was an absolutely unacceptable failure for Dak, but fortunately, as a necromancer, he had lost the action that would be lost by anger. So Dak first used the necromancer magic to control the general who tried to betray him and ordered his subordinates to capture Natasha and Grandi. He took the opportunity to send Vulture and others to set out from another place, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears and try to regain the list of bones.
For Dake, this plan should be foolproof. But now, he found that his plan had completely failed!!
Not only did those stupid humans not achieve their mission, but even the vultures led the elite troops to live. Dark's head immediately became bigger when he wanted to fight here. The vulture's identity was not simple. He was one of the most highly valued and praised among the Death Knights of the Barund family. In fact, the Barund family also knew that Dark lacked experience, so they sent the vulture to assist, hoping that he could stand alone as soon as possible.
But now... the list of bones has been taken away, the vultures have been killed, and the entire elite has been killed, which has scared Dak. The two men have absolutely no such strength, otherwise, there would be no need for them to escape. But why did they encounter such a thing?
Who did they meet?
Dak knew nothing about this. After all, the Destiny Stone could only reflect life and death, but not transmit the situation at that time. This also made Dak feel a little nervous. Could it be that his actions had been noticed by the Duchy of Mun? If this were the case, his life would be sad under the encirclement of those war angels!
With such thoughts, Dake was quite confused at this moment. Although logically speaking, he should have attacked decisively now, regained the list of bones, and quickly left this place of trouble. But Dake's heart is quite complicated now, because he knows very well that even if he regained the list of bones, he would still be unable to escape death when he returned to the family. After all, his neglect caused the death of the vulture, which obviously made the death knights in the family dissatisfied with him. Although he is a genius necromancer,... Faced with such a situation, even a genius could not save him.
"Damn it!!"
Thinking of this, Dake punched the table with a heavy punch. He gritted his teeth and his mind went blank. Now what Dake thought about was not how to make achievements for his family......... Let's get over the difficulties in front of him first.
Thinking of this, Dak raised his head with a dark face, and he stared at the fragments of the crystal ball in front of him. After a moment, the necromancer gritted his teeth and waved his hand. Soon, the strong wind whistled by, and the figure of the necromancer completely disappeared in this violent gust of wind.
At this moment, Rod and others rushed all the way and finally arrived at Hobbit Village before sunset.
This is the only place where people live in the White River Valley, and it is also a place where many caravans and travelers rest and settle down. This village is somewhat different from other places. It is built on the hillside of the river valley. The river water flows downstream to nurtures the villagers here, and their houses are not built of wood like other places. On the contrary, the houses in Hobbit Village are all caves excavated in the valley. These caves are warm in winter and cool in summer, which are very suitable for people to live in.
However, Hobbit Village has become a bit deserted recently. It is not yet the peak trade season, so there are not many people coming here, which makes the originally very lively village relatively calm. However, for the villagers who have lived there for generations, it has allowed them to enjoy a rare peace.
But this calmness was quickly broken.
“Bao.”
The door of the tavern was pushed open rudely. This scared the owner of the tavern who was originally lying on the table to take a nap. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the door. He saw five dusty travelers standing there. They looked a little tired and anxious. What attracted the boss's attention was that there were several very beautiful girls. Standing in front was a man wearing a black noble dress with flat shoulder-length short hair. He looked quite like a beautiful girl from the outside. However, "her" dress was too masculine, which made people feel a little unpredictable. Not to mention that the other party's face was cold at this moment, as cold as an ice sculpture. It made people unable to look directly.
The pink ponytail girl on the left side of the man was the most leisurely among the people. She looked around from time to time, looking left and right, as if she was leisurely going out for a trip. However, her ears and the shaking tail behind her still revealed her identity, but even so, the beauty of the girl still makes people feel moved.
Following behind the fox-eared girl was a blonde girl wearing tight white leather armor. Her big eyes were always turning, giving people a feeling of vitality and vitality. However, what attracted more attention was not the beautiful and cute face of the blonde girl, but her slender thighs, the beautiful curves, which were perfectly revealed. It immediately attracted the attention of the few men in the tavern, and some even swallowed their saliva when they looked at the white skin.
Compared with these three people, the two people behind were much inferior. Their clothes were a little worn and their faces were very panicked. They even looked as embarrassed as if they were fugitives from somewhere.
I have to say that such a combination is indeed very eye-catching, but the boss still restrained his pitiful curiosity and was in business here. He had long known that he shouldn't ask what he shouldn't ask or what he shouldn't think about. Since the other party came to the store, no matter who they were, he would just treat him as a guest. Thinking of this, the boss quickly stood up and came to the front of the five people.
"Welcome to the 'Harvest Fruit'. What do you need to order? We have barbecue, bread, cheese and specialty green vine jam. If you feel tired, we also have comfortable rooms and bathrooms to cleanse you from fatigue. There are very few customers coming to stay in the hotel at this time. I can prepare a comfortable room for you. Of course, I can guarantee that the price is also fair..."
However, before the boss finished speaking, Rhode reached out and interrupted the other party's words.
"Sorry, we're in a hurry, so please prepare dinner for us. Of course, there is no need to waste time. As for the room, we don't want it. And..." As for this, Rhode paused for a moment, frowned, then turned his head and looked at Anne who was pitifully pulling the corner of his clothes, and sighed helplessly.
"Twenty pieces of bread and barbecue."
“Twenty copies?”
Hearing this, the tavern owner couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. He looked at the five people in surprise, and finally said nothing, nodded and planned to leave. At this moment, Rhodes called him again.
"By the way, I would like to ask if there are any carriages or horses for rent here? If possible, we want to get on the road as soon as possible. Of course, money is not a problem."
"this……………"
Hearing Rhode's question, the tavern owner couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He thought for a moment, and then answered helplessly.
"I'm very sorry, this guest, there are no passenger carriages in our village recently, only trucks... I'm afraid there is no way..."
"It doesn't matter if the truck is not important. I hope you can contact me one, and we will set off immediately after dinner."
"Okay, I'll go and prepare now."
Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, the store owner nodded and then quickly turned around and left. It was not until this time that Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the somewhat deserted hotel in silence, then walked to the table and sat down. At this time, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh...!!"
Anne threw the salute and shield next to her, then sat down on the chair, lying on the table like a cat, motionless.
"It's so exhausting. Annie has never run so far......"
Although the other people did not speak, judging from their expressions, everyone's thoughts were similar.
After a fire burned down the carriage, Rhodes rushed non-stop. Although they did not run wildly in order to maintain their physical strength, even marathons did not run like this. Rhodes and Anne both have strong physiques, so there is no problem with traveling like this. Qilian is a beast himself, so naturally he would not care about such a wild marching. Instead, it made Gelandi and Natasha. These two people had never had such experience. They complained even more about following Rods and others over mountains and rivers. If it weren't for the fact that there was a necromancer behind them that might have pounced on them at any time, these two people would have been paralyzed to the ground long ago. Now, the last bit of motivation to support them was gone, and similar to Anne, Natasha and Glandi were almost lying on the table.
"Ro, Rod, Mr. Rod...I think we'd better take a night off before leaving... This is a village, with so many people and militias here. That necromancer probably won't cause trouble for us..."
Natasha was so tired that she couldn't even speak well. She even felt that her feet were no longer conscious, as if there were two wooden sticks under her body. As a man, although Glendi did not beg for mercy, he knew that this guy had reached his limit when he looked at his dark face.
"no."
Although Natasha's request was reasonable, Rhode still refused the request mercilessly. The girl didn't understand the terribleness of the Necromancer at all. If possible, Rhode would rather fight a Necromancer in the middle of the desert, and would never be willing to face a Necromancer in a densely populated place. The large number of people is not an obstacle for the Necromancer, but their help. If Rhodes and others really spend the night here, then once the Necromancer comes to the door, they will face not only the Necromancer, but may even face the corpses of the villagers who have turned into the dead... This is definitely not a good situation for Rhodes.
Of course, Rhodes is also a human being, so he naturally understands that Natasha and Glendy can no longer walk, but...
"You can rest in the carriage later, at least you don't have to walk for the time being."
“………………………………………………Okay, Mr. Rhode.”
Hearing Rhode's words, Natasha and Glendy looked at each other helplessly and nodded. Although the truck is not as comfortable as a passenger carriage, it is hard and uncomfortable, now it is rare for them to have a place to rest. As long as they can stop walking, what does it matter...
Just as everyone was trying to rest, suddenly, the gate of the tavern was pushed open again, and then there was a bustling noise, and several mercenary dressed in came in. It was obvious that these mercenaries also noticed Rhodes and his group sitting in the tavern, and immediately whistled several excitement at them. However, Rhodes ignored the reactions of these mercenaries. Anne, who had always been active, was so tired that she didn't even want to move again, so naturally she did not respond to the mercenaries' accomplices. Instead, Qi Lian turned around and blinked at them, and this action immediately caused cheers from the mercenaries there.
But at this moment, a deserted voice suddenly sounded among these mercenaries.
"Um?"
Hearing this voice, the mercenaries who were still excited just now immediately closed their mouths obediently, and then they quickly separated the road. Then, a woman wearing a mask walked out of it and came to Rod and others.
"I really didn't expect that I would see you here, Mr. Rhodes."
Then she spoke.
