Chapter 19: Gu: Red (Part 1)
"Hahaha!"
"Look at him! I can still be scared by you after so long!"
"May God bless that poor man, hahaha!"
William, sitting under the tree, leaned back, trying to get a little away from the bored people and their bored laughter.
Although he did not know these people, the mercenary group they belonged to was very famous.
The Silver Button Mercenary Group, William lowered his head and thought, "I wanted to join in the past, but unfortunately I was not strong enough at the time and was not attracted by the leader Patton, who was nicknamed "Knowing People is Like Messages".
Now it seems that being rejected was not a pity. Otherwise, if you want to join these people, William feels that he will probably apply to withdraw from the group soon.
The poor man named Dog Ya didn't know what kind of terrible things he had suffered, and what kind of terrible shadows he left. Now he is like a poor lamb who accidentally entered the pack of wolves, and could only tremble to offer these evil wolves a joy.
William originally wanted to secretly remind this person that it would be better to find an opportunity to escape, but during a casual conversation, he saw the fleeting hatred in the man's eyes, and knew that this person actually had his own purpose, not just a helpless pitiful person who was brought in.
William looked at the dog buds that were hunching their knees and felt that the man's trembling seemed to be too large, and his face was too terrified.
The man named Dog Ya buried his entire face in his arms, revealing only a deeply wrinkled forehead, which made William feel that this man might be laughing secretly.
William turned his eyes to the silver button saints with happy smiles and red faces, and curled his lips, covering his little bit of contempt and contempt again under his drooping eyelids.
William is a Paladin, a Paladin who has not yet sworn allegiance to any Holy Mage.
I don’t know when it started, but the combination of knights and mages became the standard configuration of the human race in the Gaia continent. Many paladins are pursuing a powerful companion of holy mages, and many holy mages are also waiting for a loyal and martial paladin to protect.
However, William felt that such a thing did not need to be anxious, so he temporarily became a lonely knight.
William gently placed his right hand on the armor on his chest, and silently recited the Paladin's guardian oath in his heart.
This is his exercise, for one day in the future, for a girl, a girl who smiles like a rose.
The reason why he appeared in this remote mountain and was with these strangers was to have a gift worthy of the girl, so that he could personally deliver it on the day he took the oath.
But it seemed a bit difficult. William swept over the people who were scattered in groups of three or three in the forest to rest.
Since his departure, William has been observing silently, and it is also because of his own. He can quietly obey the jokes and conversations of those people in front of him.
The people of the Silver Button Mercenary Group had no concealment of their identity, nor did they hide their familiarity with the bow and the elf, as if they were the masters of the bow, and the others were interfering robbers.
The action of taking hostages to Zanghua Valley was completed with their efforts. No one else knew the situation and could not come up with a more convincing plan, so he could only follow the crowd to the place called Zanghua Valley.
Tibetan Flower Valley is a place where many beautiful flowers are hidden? William, who silently recited the Knight's Manifesto three times, thought aimlessly.
I heard from those people that this Tibetan Flower Valley is still a place where terrible monsters live, and it seems to be a plant-like monster like a huge man-eating flower.
However, the people with silver buttons did not seem to care much about the existence of the monster. Instead, they often put together with excitement and said something, with an unknown light flashing in their eyes.
Originally, William could not hear what these people were saying, but among the people who were traveling with him were several sages of wind. They heard some words and spread them around. When they reached William's ears, they became "that man-eating flower is a treasure guardian."
So it's actually for treasure? William looked at the holy wizards who were still making fun of Dog Ba, and regretted going this trip with them.
If it is something that cannot make her happy, what's the use of treasure?
She has been obsessed with Yue Lingmu for a long time.
"Look at those people over there, do you look familiar?"
"I also think that the one in the middle seems to be a very famous paladin."
Two sentences floated into William's ears. The three words Paladin attracted his attention. He looked at the two people who were talking in a low voice and followed their eyes to find the "famous" Paladin.
This man was dressed in silver armor, which looked no different from the other paladins' dress.
William knew that this Paladin was indeed not a shabby person like him, because the armor on this man not only had various metallic lights faintly flowing, but also a huge golden gem was inlaid on the wrist armor on his right hand. Although the patterns around the gem were not real, they could also be seen as extremely exquisite.
William looked down at the dim silver-gray armor on his body and his bare wrists, and sighed inwardly, indeed his body was a little too shabby.
Although the Paladin's armor styles are similar, there are huge differences between different materials. Inlaying magical gems on the armor is a way of improvement that only rich people can afford.
Because the metal material that can support the power of magic gems is already excellent, and there are very few types of magic gems that can be used by paladins. Under the market rules that rare things are expensive, the prices of these gems have always remained high.
Of course, the benefits brought by this magical gem are also quite considerable.
Like the golden gems on the hand of the Paladin over there, it can improve the effect of the blessings you get.
The reason why Paladins like to team up with Saint Mages is that they can accept the blessings of those Saint Mages, and the blessings brought to them by different Saint Mages are also different.
For example, the Holy Masters of the Fire-type can increase their attack power, while the Holy Masters of the Earth-type can increase their tolerance.
The effects of these blessing skills are often calculated based on proportions, such as an additional percentage of defense, etc., and the effect of the golden gem is to double the proportion of the increased proportion.
A paladin with such good equipment should indeed be a celebrity, William thought jealously.
The paladin seemed to notice William's gaze, turned his head and smiled humbly at him, then turned around and continued to joke with the people around him.
These ten people should have known each other for a long time. William looked at the people around the Paladin. They should also be from a mercenary group. Unfortunately, these people hid the badges, as if they were deliberately hiding their identities.
They were always walking together along the way, mixing among these people of different origins, neither raising objections to this playful action, nor always anxiously asking about the specific location of the Tibetan Flower Valley like others, but walking quietly in the forest, as if they were aiming for the Tibetan Flower Valley - not for the elf and the bow.
The ten people seemed to be headed by the Paladin, and the Paladin always received news from time to time.
Everyone here will naturally send and receive messages, probably except William who came alone.
Therefore, William noticed the frequency of the Paladin sending and receiving messages: one is sent every hour, one is received ten minutes later, and after reading it, he gathered with nine other people and hid behind the protection barrier of the Wind-type Saint Mage.
However, only the news was sent out in the past two hours, but no news flew back. William guessed that this person should be reporting the situation here to someone outside the forest, and now he only needs to report and no further instructions from the outside world.
Is there no need for further instructions, or is the instructions that have been issued and only need to be executed?
While thinking, William stood up and walked deeper into the forest with the others, moving towards the place called Zanghua Valley.
