"It seems there is no need to turn." Bass clenched his fists, and his two fists made cracking sounds. His neck turned and the golden helmet reflected a faint luster, which looked like a huge golden egg from a distance.
"Bass is a little bit good. We want to live, don't kill me." Bishop Ron's warhammer seemed to be bigger, but the silver chains still remained unchanged.
When the sound of galloping horse hooves approached, Chen Kai sat in the carriage and saw the identities of the arrival guys. One of the guys in front of him had a huge scar on his face that penetrated half of his face, and he was holding a huge red sword in his hand.
"I hope this bastard knows where the magic star silver was obtained, or which caravan, snatched it from." Bass slowly pulled out the huge weapon hidden in the tiny scabbard, and then saw a three-meter-long golden Dou Qi Slash instantly hit it. Several thieves who were just trying to shoot arrows turned into floating corpses before they could react.
"Bass, you idiot, I want a living mouth, not a dead body." Bishop Rong said this, but when his warhammer was projected out, the thief he encountered was directly smashed and smashed with his horse.
At this time, the thieves riding on the horse were completely stunned. They never thought that there would be two holy ranks in their target of robbery. Even if there was only one, it was not provoked by a small group of less than a hundred people like them, especially their boss, Scarface, who was the leader of the Scorpion, had begun to urge the horse to escape.
Unfortunately, he ran less than a hundred meters before being caught up by Bass, and then kicked off the horse with one kick, rolling and dissipating in the grass beside him. When the unlucky thief boss was woken up by a basin of cold water, the battle around him was over, and there were more than a dozen trapped subordinates lying beside him.
Of course, these subordinates survived. Those who did not survive had already been buried by Lula and Chen Kai and others, and became nutrients to nourish the grassland.
"I don't talk nonsense with Scarface. Tell me where these Demon Star Silver were obtained, or which caravan you snatched them from." Bass stepped on the little dd of the Scorpion Max. At that moment, the Scorpion Max felt that the brothers below him were about to turn into minced meat.
"Ah~~I...I don't know what happened to Demon Star Silver, please be gentle." Poison Scorpion Max felt that today was the most unlucky day he had been traversing the wasteland in several years, but obviously Bass was not satisfied with his answer and directly lifted him up and threw him to the edge of more than a dozen stones with blue cracks.
"Tell me where you got these stones, or snatched them from which business association, and say that I will let you enjoy the pain of your soul being free from your body before you die." Bass did not lie, on the side, Rong was pulling the soul of a thief directly out of his body.
Chen Kai discovered that the temple had such a terrible magic. In his opinion, only black magic or black witchcraft could be used. It was terrible to pull a person's soul out of his body.
But Chen Kai found that the image of the soul seemed to be inconsistent with the thief lying on the ground, especially when he saw that the thief's neck was caught by Bishop Rong's. The thief's death did not look like he was pulled away by his soul, but rather like he was directly crushed to death.
However, what Chen Kai found did not mean that the scared poisonous scorpion had discovered it. When he saw that his subordinates had been drawn out of his soul, he did not doubt whether the shadow wailing in the air was his subordinate. He said everything he knew and didn't know.
After hearing his words, Bass threw him to the ground, and then looked at the trembling thieves. As soon as he lifted the cloth strip on a thief's mouth, the guy cried out.
"Please don't pull out my soul. I said I said everything that Boss Max was wrong just now. These stones were not picked up by Larus from our village, but he found them from the box of the Miller Business Association." The thief lay on the ground and muttered, while the Larus in his mouth was an archer killed by Bass.
"Why don't I know nonsense?" Max was anxious. He was afraid that Bass would think he was lying and then pull out his soul to question him.
"No, no, no, no, you don't know that you were not there when the last time you robbed the Miller Business Association, but the things that the commercial association robbed were all filled with stones. Larus was afraid of being punished and said that we embezzled the things, so he asked us to collude and say that we had not robbed the business association. Then he threw the stones to the edge of the village. The second boss did pick these stones from the ground before he came out, but he didn't know that they were thrown there. He thought that the robbery only got some linen and kept calling the Miller Business Association a poor man!" The thief named Dulalu cried and told everything he knew. Bass still didn't believe it and grabbed a thief and threw it at Rong's feet again.
As a result, before Bishop Rong's hand touched his head, the other party said everything, and the words were the same as the thief. He even said that there were spots with red blood clots in the middle of the stones. After he finished speaking, he found Bishop Rong holding his hand and letting go.
"Have Kaichen finished cleaning?" Bass threw the thief into the carriage. The thiefs did not dare to escape and all shrank near the corner of the carriage and squeezed there.
Chen Kai wiped a knife on the neck of a thief who had not completely died. After harvesting a piece of experience, he threw him into a pit and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, just pour it on the soil."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a mage in the Lula Mercenary Group pointing a little on the ground with his fingers. Large pieces of soil rolled and closed, and the big pit was soon completely buried by fresh soil.
"Well, it seems that it's already done." Chen Kai discovered that the mage was actually an indigenous earth element mage, and an intermediate mage.
"Okay, let's go to the carriage and go to the bastard's nest to see the leader Lula. Please trouble you. This mission temple will notify the mercenary guild. Don't worry, you won't lose your commission. Remember to keep your mouth better." Bass stepped into the carriage, and behind him was Ronghen holding those stones.
"Does Xiaofei know what the Demon Star Silver is?" Chen Kai asked Xu Fei, who was breathable from the carriage.
"I don't know that this thing has never been mentioned in the material collection." Xu Fei shook his head. Although he had seen the material with the word Xingyin, he had never seen the word "Demon Star Yin".
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from Xu Fei, Chen Kai turned to look at Lula. He was sitting next to Chen Kai with a carriage.
"Knight Berkner, don't look at me. If I knew, I wouldn't let my subordinates throw those things away as stones. But I guess those stones shouldn't be good things, otherwise the two adults would have excited on their faces rather than the look that seemed to see terrible things.
"Kaichen, don't ask these materials. I don't think mercenaries like him can know. Maybe he will only get in touch with a little after completing this mission and upgrading to the intermediate mercenary group." Bass's voice came from the carriage, interrupting Captain Lula's words.
After Bath's words fell, the entire convoy fell into silence again. They slowly moved along a path opened among grass and thorns. A wooden village appeared in front of the convoy, and outside the gate of the village, some stones with red or blue light were discarded in the wild.
"Captain Lula's regiment Kaichen collected all the stones that could be found for me." Bass slowly walked out of the carriage, and then his figure flashed and disappeared directly. Then more than a dozen Bass images appeared in the air one after another. When the last image appeared in front of Muzhai's gate, he had already added a huge weapon in his hand.
Chen Kai only heard a loud crack in his ears, and the thieves guarding the village discovered that the huge wooden door had turned into wood chips floating all over the sky.
When Bass and Rongen cleared the entire thief's nest, Chen Kai and others moved all the stones found around the village together. Most of these stones were ordinary gray-white limestone or gravel, and only a small part were special stones with blue or red gaps. The most special one was a few black and red stones. Chen Kai felt a breath that made him extremely disgusted.
That disgust was even worse than seeing dead creatures. After seeing these two stones, his first thought was to smash them, and his second thought was to burn them directly into ashes with the holy fire.
"Okay, you go in and clean it up, take away everything you can, and make up for me if you are not dead." Bass and Ron walked out of the thief's nest with blood all over their bodies and a dozen or so-called tortured women.
Chen Kai just took a quick look and followed Lula to the nest to finish the thieves. Although there were basically no high-end products left in the thieves' camp to guard the house, it was just a lot of experience. Unfortunately, I got very little experience for helping NPC to finish the thieves. Chen Kai and his team killed more than 30 half-dead thieves, which only increased their experience slot by less than 4%.
"Captain Lula, please come over." When Chen Kai and his friends cleared the entire village, Bass' voice sounded from outside. Chen Kai felt a hint of anger and fear in his voice. Even during the Battle of North, Chen Kai had never heard the sound in Bass' mouth like this.
Chen Kai greeted others and continued to search for the copycat, and followed Lula, who was running out of the village with a box. The dozen rescued women were lying on the edge of the carriage and looking at Bass and Rongen in fear, because they found that their savior was so terrible when he was angry.
"Tell me the situation of the Miller Business Association. I have never heard of this business association in Yadorick." Rong An crushed a black and red stone that brought Chen Kai extremely disgusting breath. Chen Kai could see that after the stone was broken, a gray-black aura was produced by Bishop Rong An, and burned it with the holy fire.
"Actually, I don't know much about the Miller Business Association," said Rula, the leader of the Furious Lion Mercenary Group, frowned, "I just heard that they are a large business association in a city in the south. I have only recently opened a commercial road in Mifez. However, they never enter Adoric, and at most they go north along the wasteland to Bakua. Therefore, I don't know what their business association is."
After listening to the words of Rongen and Rula, Chen Kai felt that his task would definitely not be so easy to complete. At least from the fact that Bass and Rongen fought for some stones, there must be something wrong with Miffith, and the Mark family, who were following the team, began to regret making the decision to go to Miffith.
"Sold the manor when you arrive at Mifez, and then run back to Adorik." With this idea, the store manager Mark stuffed two low-level spell scrolls into his pocket. Unemployed people like him can only use this scroll. He also took out a long sword and hung it on his belt, stuffed a dagger into his shoes, and finally stuffed a crossbow under the seat of the carriage.
…Half an hour later…
"A group of poor ghosts are thieves to do your part. I guess they can't find one of Mifez. They have robbed more than a thousand gold coins in three years, and a lot of scrap copper and iron. I'm the one you had already killed by the frozen piece of soft and frozen piece, and the scorpion was killed by the scorpion." Bass squatted on the side and scolded the thieves who were huddled together.
Because Chen Kai and his friends searched all the village and found more than a thousand gold coins, but there were many weapons, but unfortunately they were all damaged. The most stored were spices, cloth and various foods, and the sausages alone were hundreds of kilograms.
"A group of pigs only know how to grab food, so you can't grab more magic crystals or gems." Bass bit a roasted pork leg and kept cursing on his mouth.
Chen Kai was squatting on the edge of a large pile of stained cloth and sighing. Almost all of these cloths were covered with oil or blood. Therefore, the linen that was originally worth a little money can now be used as rags. Perhaps there are some inside that can be sold for some copper coins, but the key is that these are stolen goods. Chen Kai did not want to be arrested by Mifes's guards.
As for the stones that were picked, they are now staying in Bishop Rong's space ring. Even the two pieces that Chen Kai hid were taken over by him. Or they were thrown away by Chen Kai directly. The two stones are indeed of great value, but Chen Kai dare not take them out and sell them.
Because the only function of some stones is to build the demon gate. Of course, it is not to build the main body, but to generate the positioning elements required to connect the demon plane channels. This ore that only exists in each demon plane will not exist in other places except the demon plane.
After Chen Kai learned this information, he felt that Mifez might be in trouble because it is said that Mile Business Association has been shipping goods to Mifez recently. Although the unlucky Scorpion Max only robbed Mile once, they saw many freight carriages from Mifez when they were selecting fat sheep.
Unfortunately, no matter how troubled Chen Kai was and was afraid of what might happen to Mifes, he still had to bite the bullet and walk towards Mifes. Both Bass and Rongen must find out the matter of the Mile Business Association. If this business association just transports these stones to the Mages Association for continuous demon summons, then it would be okay.
At most, he was punished by the temple and then explained the source of his goods clearly with the guarantee of the senior management of the Spell Association. But if this business association built the Demon Gate in Mifes, neither Rong nor Bass wanted to think about this, because it means that Mifes would face a disaster.
"I hope these greedy merchants are just smuggling materials to those spell casters who enslaved the demons." Bishop Rong prayed quietly, and he was no longer in the mood to eat now.
After packing up everything, Chen Kai and his party set out on the journey to Mifes again. At this time, they were nearly 100 kilometers away from Mifes. There was no small town to replenish the supply along the way. Fortunately, the unlucky Scorpion thieves contributed a lot of food.
A long convoy was slowly moving on a road full of sludge and branches. The roads reinforced by the earth element mages were almost all composed of stones. The biggest source of annual research funds for those low-level earth element mages was to help the city master to build roads. This construction method that saves both labor and money has created a huge commercial road network in the Ethia world.
In front of the convoy, Chen Kai was dozing on the top of the carriage. Although they had left the Miluo Wasteland, there was still an uninhabited forest area around them. Occasionally, a team of adventurers walked past them from afar, sometimes they would come forward and say hello to ask for something to eat, and more people would check in the distance and say a few words and leave.
The nights outside Mifes are no different from other places, with the eyes of beasts shining green and all kinds of strange roars everywhere. The carriages are very prominent in such an environment, especially when the horse's hooves step on the soft rocky road, the crisp sound blocks the roars of the surrounding beasts. Of course, once the horse's hooves are connected, the beasts dare not come.
At the same time, as the distance between Mifes is getting closer and closer, the road is gradually becoming wider. Chen Kai and his friends can still see flatbed cars parked on the road when they are sleepy. The most primitive means of transportation originated from the name of lying corpse, claiming that travel is so cheap that it only takes ten silver coins to reach Mifes' flatbed car fleet.
Those players who are stacked on the flatbed carts like corpses, of course, are not corpses just sleeping in the game using the helmet’s residency function. This cheap and cheap way of travel is the ancestor of lying corpses, but there is a problem with safety. After all, there is no stopping the surroundings of the flatbed carts and they will only be wet even if it rains.
While Chen Kai and the others were shaking their bodies and driving towards Mifes in the carriage, the poisonous scorpion nest, which had been burned to ruins, welcomed several new guests. However, these guests did not look very friendly, or they were not humans at all. At least people would not have green eyes like burning torches, dark scales and sharp claws.
"I like the smell of flames." A visitor picked up a piece of charcoal with Mars and stuffed it into his mouth. The red charcoal was bitten by cracks in its mouth, and the splashes of charcoal floated away with the red Mars.
"Someone came earlier than us, and the place has been completely cleaned up." Another visitor looked at the surrounding environment in disgust. Compared to his companion's blue light, it liked the biting cold and harsh cold.
"Old bones can see if they can find scattered souls. I want to know where those materials are." A visitor walking at the back said to the guy with a stick beside him, and then he saw the guy with a stick stretching out a pair of white bone arms from his cloak. The burning ground around him was extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a dark and dirty place with black smoke.
A trace of white souls cried and wailed, flying from every corner of the ruins to the top of the staff, slowly becoming what they were like before their death. However, most of their bodies were incomplete and even looked a little dull.
"Si Si~~KaKa" The one who was leaning on the staff made some noise, but it seemed that his companion was not clear about what it was saying. So it had to use its boned arms to grab the soul floating in the air, and slowly knead it with some black energy. The souls were pinched together and turned into several blurred figures.
If Chen Kai stood here, he could see clearly. The clearest figure was not Bass but him wearing armor. Then there was Lula who ran out with a box, and finally there were several members of Chen Kai and Lula's team, including Zhao Tiezhu and others.
