In a prairie not far from [Zun: Trading City], hundreds of huge and luxurious-looking tents stand in it. The tents appear to be placed in a haphazard manner, but if a professor who is proficient in enchantment looks at it carefully, , you will see that these tents are actually placed in an advanced defensive barrier method! It's even more obvious when viewed with a bird's eye view.
This is the territory of a branch of the lion-man clan that has lived in this grassland for a long time. It is also the branch of the lion-man clan that has a good relationship with [Zun: Trading City]. It also has a terrifying existence that may have reached the advanced saint level. .
And in the central tent of this defensive barrier, a tall lion man about two meters high was standing in it with squinted eyes. He was wearing an obvious shaman robe to indicate his identity.
"Here you go, come in."
The lion-man shaman, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly spoke in a low voice, as if he was mumbling to himself. Don't talk to others, even he himself might not be able to hear what he said. But with such a small voice, a masked figure chuckled lightly from outside the tent, opened the door curtain and walked in.
"Sure enough, there is still no way to hide it from you, haha." The masked figure, who looked only about one meter tall, greeted him with a smile. He pulled up the surrounding chairs and sat down without any politeness, as if he was returning. As easy as your own home. But the lion man wearing shaman clothes clearly knew that this masked figure was a human being.
"Where's the news?"
The lion-man shaman squinted his eyes at the visitor and said indifferently in a very cold tone.
"Don't rush the news. By the way~ I seem to have heard that your team responsible for killing the new magician has returned this time, right?" The masked man took an apple on the table and threw it away, deliberately using an asked in a strange tone.
"Ohare you talking about that game? Well, it's already back." The lion shaman thought for a while and nodded. This was just a small thing for him.
"Is this a game for you? Hey I have lost a domineering owner, so the price of this game may not be too high." Regarding the indifferent attitude of the lion shaman, the masked man was really disappointed. I feel speechless, this is too heroic.
The lion shaman chuckled lightly, "Atoli, you should have figured it out a long time ago. Hegu is just an abandoned child, used to play games with An'ori of the [Magic Association]. It is disobedient and useless. There¡¯s no point in keeping things¡¡±
"Hey, if that person knows what you said, it will be very troublesome." The masked man known as Atoli shrugged and pulled off the mask he used to disguise himself, revealing a slightly different face. A youthful face appeared, and he said with a sarcastic expression, "You will be killed, Saint of the Falcon."
"Hahaha!"
As if he heard the funniest joke in the world, the Lion-Man Falcon, who is said to have reached the advanced saint level among the Lion-men clan, couldn't help laughing. The laughter kept making Atoli, who was originally relaxed, smile. His expression slowly darkened.
"Ha, forget it, anyway, this is just a power struggle between you and him. It has nothing to do with me [ANBU]~ Of course, if you want us to help, you should know." After a soft breath, After speaking, Atoli did not forget the purpose of coming here, his expression returned to the playful look before, he raised his head and said leisurely.
"Heh." The lion-man and the falcon smiled, shook his head and said calmly, "I don't need to use you at all. Let's talk about the mission information I entrusted you with."
The lion-man falcon's indifferent attitude really left Atoli speechless. Seeing that the additional business could not be done, he could only complete his business this time. He took out a scroll directly from his arms and threw it to the falcon, while returning Continuing the topic just now, he said, "I seem to have heard that the magician's body was not found?"
The falcon caught the scroll thrown by Atoli with one claw, then tore it open and looked at it, and still replied,
"Yes, the report said no body was found."
There was very little information in the scroll, only about a few hundred words, so it took less than a minute for the eagle to read it all. Then he squeezed the scroll in his hand with no change of expression, and the paper scroll actually shattered like dirt in the hands of the falcon, turning into traces of dust scattered around.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Atoli said with a strange expression.
"That's just a power game that both parties understand. There's no point in saying more." The lion-man and the falcon obviously had no intention of continuing on this topic. After directly denying it, he said softly, "And, this time The humans who attacked the orcs were not humans from this continent."
"Well, they are strong men from the Eastern Continent, divided into two groups.?, killing the orc groups in various places, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least three strong ones who have reached the holy level. " Seeing that the falcon didn't want to continue on this topic, Atoli had no choice but to talk about the topic.
"It seems that one of the groups is very close to the back of [Zun: Trading City]. Did the court say anything?"
From the scroll just now, the falcon already knows the terrifying things about [Asina Desert], and [Asina Desert] is not too far from their side, and judging from the information, let [Asina Desert] The direction of the changed human powerhouse is likely to be their trading city. If there is a fight with his lion-man tribe, the attitude of the neighboring court will be very important.
"Hey, you can rest assured on this. The nobles are important partners of the imperial court. How could they not help you when they see you in trouble? The senior officials of the imperial court have also issued a mission to me [Anbu] to block or harass people from the east. The strong man in the mainland." Atoli said with a smile, "This good news is free, no money required, so it's a good deal."
"Is it just obstruction and harassment? This is not good news Isn't your organization being attacked by an unknown group recently? Do you have the ability to dedicate people to complete this court's commission?" After muttering indifferently, , Yu Falcon remembered a piece of information he knew, and couldn't help but sneered, "It's hard to protect yourself, [ANBU]."
"Don't worry about this. Since the commission is over, I will leave first." Atoli, who had just talked a lot, suddenly seemed to remember something, and stood up without changing his expression, patting his butt and falcon After saying that, he took an apple and walked out.
"The time is almost here."
The falcon standing with narrowed eyes whispered softly.
¡°Zi Zi¡¡±
"Forehead¡"
He opened his eyes in confusion, and what he saw was a pure white wall. Kano's brain couldn't help but fell into a blank for a moment. It wasn't until a trace of red arc flashed across his body that he suddenly woke up, where is this place!
"Kano, are you awake?"
Using his magic power randomly, Kano jumped up hard, and landed smoothly with a fighting look. Before he had time to look around, an old and familiar voice sounded near him, which made Kano's He couldn't help but look away.
"Ares?"
The one-armed catman with an old appearance, friendly eyes and peaceful aura made the originally nervous Kano slowly relax.
"Huh? No, since Ares you are here, then the second king is also here?!" Kano suddenly remembered why he was unconscious, and his originally relaxed body tensed up again, alert. Observing the surroundings, this is a very ordinary house. There is only a small bed where Cano has just slept and the chair where Ares is sitting. The rest is completely blank. You can imagine that the owner of this house is buying furniture. Apart from sleep and daily rest, I didn¡¯t think about anything else.
"Are you looking for Mr. Lazy?" Ares smiled and said to Kano with a funny look, "She went out alone first and said she would come back later."
"Lazy? That's the so-called second king!" Kano was very wary of the red-haired girl who claimed to be the second king. After all, she was inexplicably 'killed' because of her carelessness at that time. , that feeling of death is something that Kano will remember deeply in his heart.
"Haha, Kano, don't look nervous. Also, don't you think you should put on some clothes for yourself?" Ares, who was sitting next to him, seemed not to notice Kano's nervousness. He pointed at Kano and smiled.
"Clothes?" Kano was stunned and lowered his head to look at his body. Then his face slowly turned red. He coughed a few times and then turned around. At a glance, he saw the clothes neatly placed on the bedside. A set of white clothes, he walked over quickly and picked it up. He asked Ares in a strange voice, "This can you wear it?"
"Of course, this is for you." Ares handed over his hands with an OK expression, and Kano, who was bare-chested, quickly put the clothes on himself after hearing that it was okay, and he couldn't help but think about it in his head.
Fortunately, only the upper body exploded
"It seems you are recovering well."
Just when Kano was secretly complaining, a childish voice that was unfamiliar to him but would never be forgotten suddenly sounded behind him. This caused Kano's body to quickly react and roll towards the bed in front of him, crossing what he could only The small bed sleeping one person came to the opposite side, and he looked at the little girl with red hair and red eyes standing opposite him with a vigilant look.
"Am I that scary?" The little red-haired girl, Lazy Belphengal, looked back with a lazy look on her face.Asked Ares in confusion.
"Maybe it's because your 'greeting' way when you first met Kano was so strange, that's why Kano was wary." Ares explained in a friendly manner, but this explanation seemed to Kano But it¡¯s too abnormal. Damn, say hello? That is obviously the rhythm of killing people!
"Oh? Really." Belphenger suddenly realized and clapped his little palms.
Hello! Don't look like this!
Kano really didn¡¯t want to complain. There would be that person who blew up the other person¡¯s entire upper body when they first met. If it weren¡¯t for the special identity of the king, maybe he would have died inexplicably!
"What do you want from me, the second king?" Magic power surged, and Kano used Anmu's shape change to transform into two daggers. He couldn't help but feel some confidence in his heart. Seeing the red-haired little girl opposite, he seemed to be in a daze. Kano couldn't help but ask.
Turning his head to glance at the daggers in Kano's hands, Belphengor suddenly said something that made Kano feel baffled.
"Are you preparing to attack me?"
¡°¡¡±
This can only be considered legitimate defense! What kind of guy would kill so hard when they first met? He also blew up someone else's entire upper body!
Kano complained with a weird expression, but still said honestly, "This is just to prevent you from suddenly attacking me."
"Attack you? Oh you said last time, it was just a small experiment to prove that you are indeed the king. Anyway, as long as we still have energy, we can't die, so what are we worried about?" Belphenger passed by the card. Nuoyi said, then he nodded as if he remembered the important point, and explained to Kano with a strange look.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The feeling of death is not something that normal people can endure! Although I am not a normal person
Thinking about it at the end, Kano suddenly felt very helpless, because he was no longer a human being. Even if others were talking about the title of monster, Kano couldn't think of anything to refute.
Seeing Kano's silence, Belphengor thought that what he said was not clear enough, so he continued, "Now that you have been proven to be the king, there is no reason to continue attacking you."
"Really?" Kano loosened his hands, and the magic power dissipated, and he secretly understood. Just as Lazy said, he is an immortal and unkillable existence. There is no need to be afraid of Hong, who is also the king of power with him. If you send a girl, you'll only die a few more times.
kindness? Wait, what energy did she just say?
"What is energy?" Kano recalled what Lazy had just said and asked in confusion.
"Haha, Arrogance didn't tell you anything? It really looks like his character." Lazy seemed to have known that Kano would ask this question for a long time, and he smiled, but Kano's original silver-bell-like laughter made Kano My whole body felt inexplicably creepy. This feeling was very bad.
"answer my question!"
Looking at Kano with a lazy smile, who looked serious, he stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead and asked softly, "How many times have you 'died' in total since you became a king?"
"How many times have you died?" Kano's memory quickly recalled.
According to memories, since I got the body of the king, it seems that apart from having one of his legs lost by some bastard old elf man to prove the identity of the king, I only came to this continent of the west and met the lion-man Herbone. He died once, and was killed once by the red-haired little girl in front of him. "He was seriously injured once and died twice."
"No, to be precise, it should be three times." He rejected Kano's answer and gave his own conclusion lazily and confidently. This made Kano confused for a while. Could he have been killed without knowing it? ? How can this be!
"Sir, I will go out and buy some food first."
Ares stood up very consciously at this time, used his remaining hand to wrap the scarf behind his cat ears and face, and softly signaled to Lazy Belpheng in a very respectful tone.
Belphengor turned to look at Ares, then thought about it and nodded, "Okay, remember to bring back a few living creatures, preferably humans."
Ares's face hidden under the scarf showed a hint of helplessness, but when he thought of the prophecies left by his ancestors that could save their cat-people clan, he still suppressed the regret and pain in his heart and gently spoke. He said yes and left the room.
"What do you mean? Is what you are going to say next a secret? Also, what does it mean to capture a few humans and bring them back."
Even though he has become a monster, Kano is still a human, and he may start killing orcs or something.There is no sense of tension at all, but if the opponent is also a human, Kano will beat him up if he can. If he can't beat him, he will usually use his magic power to escape. At least so far, he has not encountered any enemies who want to kill him. Humans, even during the freshman test, encountered many powerful enemies, and Kano did the same.
" Killing people or using human beings to do something is not something you can just talk about. When you actually do it, you will find that your conscience is very difficult.
"Well, it can be considered a secret. As for capturing humans, of course it is to extract their spiritual bodies." Belphenger explained to Kano without any secret.
"Spiritual body? What do you mean" Kano once again took a few steps back cautiously. His mind suddenly remembered what old man Andejac said. Under normal circumstances, the human spiritual body is The so-called soul.
The soul is the most fundamental existence of a person. As long as the soul is immortal, it means that the person is immortal. Under certain special circumstances, it can even be resurrected through the body in special ways. It can be said that it is the most important thing for everyone to protect.
Now Lazy actually says he wants a human spiritual body? So can it be understood that the human soul that has been extracted from the spiritual body has been extracted? Can a person without a soul still live?
¡°It¡¯s very clear from your expression, isn¡¯t it?¡± Belphenger answered the question and said with a very bright smile.
"What's the reason? Could it be that the energy you just mentioned is the spiritual body?" Kano was not an idiot. After thinking about it, he came up with the answer he estimated in an instant. He asked in a low voice with a gloomy face. Now he knows There is too little information, and the arrogant guy is unwilling to say anything. What is the King of Power, what is this immortal body, and whether there is any possibility of recovery. The answers to all these are likely to come from the person in front of me. The little red-haired girl got it.
Belpheinger's words came to his lips, but he suddenly took them back as if he remembered something. He bent his little head and thought for a while before changing his words, "Well that's right, give me your hand first."
"Hand?" Kano was stunned, and his mind couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met. Did she want to blow herself up like a bomb again?
"What, don't you want it?" Belphenger blinked his jewel-like eyes in confusion.
Kano frowned, what on earth is he going to do?
¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to.¡±
Kano jumped on the bed and came to Belphenger's side in two steps. He stretched out his hand with a serious expression and said nothing.
"Snapped."
Belphengor smiled and held Kano's hand, and a very beautiful light blue flame emerged slightly the moment her hand held Kano, wrapping around Kano like a poisonous snake. In his hands, this sudden scene made Kano feel abnormal. What reason would there be for Lazy to kill himself? !
"Don't worry, this is just to prevent Arrogance from hearing our next words."
