Chapter 11 Blood Rose (1)
Azhuola came out of the tavern with a full meal and walked into a relatively remote street staggeringly.
The cold climate made him a little more awake, and then the keen feeling of the black market merchant made him feel a strange sight that was colder than the air.
"who?"
"come out!!"
After shouting twice in a row, a black figure finally slowly walked out of the shadow of the corner of the wall.
"Who are you? Why do you follow me?"
Retreating two uneasy steps back, Azhuola clearly noticed a dangerous aura from the other party.
This not only sobered most of his alcohol, but also caused a lot of cold sweat.
A thin arm stretched out from under the robe and pointed at Azhuola's collar.
What does this guy want to do?
Azhuola nervously tightened his clothes, and some rare items he just received today appeared inside. Although they could not be called the price, they were still a property that was not expensive. If they were snatched away, the loss would be great.
"Stop, don't come over!!"
Apparently, Azhura's trembling voice could not stop the man in black from moving forward.
When this dangerous mysterious figure approached, the black market merchants clearly felt that the temperature seemed to drop a little.
The biting chill poured into his body, causing him to tremble with cold.
"You..." Seeing the other party's hand straight into his chest, Azhuo let out a voice to stop him, but found that his body could not move, so he could only watch as his cold and pale wrist pulled out a document from his collar.
Isn't that the pass I bought before?
How did this guy know that I have this thing?
"How could this be in your hands?"
The hoarse voice in the dry air was like a rusty iron saw, piercing people's ears to hurt.
"This...this..."
"You'd better answer my question honestly, otherwise..." Through the hazy moonlight, Azhuola saw her face behind her hood off from her black shirt, and her eyes widened in horror.
Too scary...
There was no muscle on that face, it was simply a skeleton.
Isn't this the legendary undead?!
"Tell me, how did you get this thing?" Shaking the parchment roll, the man in black asked again with a hoarse voice.
"Help, help me!"
Azhuola pulled out his voice and shouted desperately, but the next moment, he suddenly disappeared, and even his face turned black and blue.
"It's painful to be unable to breathe?"
“…”
The hypoxia suffocation was very painful, and Azhuola nodded with difficulty. It seemed that an invisible hand strangled his throat and could not breathe.
"I just warned you not to make unnecessary struggles." I don't know what method I used, but the man in black easily made Azhuola's body float.
"I...I said..." Feeling that I could breathe again, Azhuola hurriedly promised; "This...this pass was bought by a young hunter for me. I only heard that he was one of the team members who completed the Wild Wolf Valley mission, and I really don't know the rest..."
"Wild Wolf Valley...was being fooled..."
Feeling the sudden high anger of the man in black, Azhuola had not had time to escape, and her whole body was torn into pieces by the wind blade.
"Damn Dark Night High Priest, do you think I can leave Laxis alone? Innocent..." After a cold look at the blood clot on the ground, the Black Magician turned around and left. His black figure quickly faded and eventually disappeared into the air, leaving only a corpse emitting blood. If that could still be called a "human".
Using invisibility, Laxis stood on the city gate, expanding his perception to the maximum. He searched carefully in the city twice and finally confirmed that the person he was looking for was indeed not in the city.
"I didn't expect that a junior would be placed in a trick... The High Priest of the Dark Night... is indeed a person who cannot be underestimated..."
After the battle of Plalis, the Black Magician left the Frost City that had turned into ruins under the invasion of the undead. He rushed to Yalu overnight. He knew that the demons were hiding in the wilderness near the town, but since the Dark Night High Priest had already taken one step ahead, she would definitely find the demons one step earlier than herself. Instead of searching all over the mountains, it would be better to wait for her to come to Yalu Town.
After hearing about the "Wild Wolf Valley" mission in the city, Laxis knew the hiding place of the demons, and also knew that the person who announced the list must be the High Priest of the Dark Night and the former Paladin who had fallen.
After confirming this from the mayor Duck himself, he left the magic pet to monitor the mayor's residence, while he hid in another corner of the city.
It is not the best time to confront him head-on. It is possible that the team of night elves from the East Continent are also lurking nearby. If they fight against such an elite team, even if he is an eighteenth-level mage, he will be very risky. What's more, the Dark Night priest himself is the holder of two artifacts, and the Elf Knight, and he also has a light artifact on him.
A magical war in a densely populated area may bring the Knights of Light that are unknown whether they have reached the border. If they really meet the Knights composed of the most elite Knights of the Church of Light, wouldn’t he be imprisoned by the Church of Light again?
The same mistake, the Black Magician doesn't want to make it again.
Last time, I was arrested because I met the Holy Dragon Knights.
Unlike the dark Truth woman who has the double titles of high priest and war priest, he is alone without the support of a powerful group like the night elves, nor does he have the strict underground organization support like the dark Truths. It is better to be careful in everything.
Unexpectedly, it was these concerns that made Laxis miss the best time to intercept the "Dragon Covenant".
He was determined to wait for the High Priest of Dark Night to leave the city, and then he made a move after confirming that she had not joined the night elves. He originally had such a plan, but waited and found that the tracking magic he had cast was always stuck in the city. The black magician finally realized something was wrong.
After catching the man with tracking magic on his body, he found out that he had been fooled.
I'm afraid that the High Priest of Dark Night had already left after he had delivered the mission.
It wasted his time in Yalu City.
"The nearest city is Crosser of Ningal. She is not so stupid to go to Ningal. I heard that the mercenary king vowed to kill her at any cost...Pralis? No, it is impossible. The city attacked by the undead has no life. Besides, after obtaining the Dragon Clan Covenant, he will definitely rush back to the East Continent. No matter what the purpose of going to the Ice Crystal, now with a magical artifact on his body, the safest way is to bring it back to the East Continent. In Heyinvega, no one dares to provoke the night elves, and even the Light Church will not send the army to this black continent. Only there is the Dragon Clan Covenant that is safe."
Unexpectedly, besides him and the Rebirth of the Light and a few non-human races, this young high priest actually knew that the Dragon Clan Covenant was actually not a unique artifact of the Light Church.
As long as this object is placed, even if the Holy Dragon Knights of the Church of Light are fully utilized, they will not be able to capture the Night Capital - Phil Knight. Apart from the famous powerful poisonous bow and shadow killer of the night elves, the dark dragon clan that is summoned is enough for the Light Church to have a headache.
Using the Dragon Clan Covenant in the East Continent where the Dark Clan gathers is far more able to give full play to its original advantages than the Ice Crystal Continent where the demons occupy most.
From this point of view, the only way out for the High Priest of Dark Night is to go south.
It took nearly a month to return by boat than to climb over the snowy mountains.
Knowing that going south might be another trap set by the High Priest of Dark Night, the Black Magician decided to go there in person.
As long as the other party is still in the Ice Crystal Continent, he still has a chance.
If he has returned to Heyinvega, then the "Dragon Covenant" artifact that can be used by any race except the undead will never have the chance to be with him.
Once occupied by the night elves, the dark dragon clan on the eastern continent and even the demon dragon clan in the abyss demon realm will have the opportunity to return to the ground. By then, the Night Capital will also restore its original glory - the Honorable King City.
The ancient elf capital a thousand years ago was not as good as this dark city. Even the holy capital Estoni, which had the favor of gods, was much inferior to it.
After some thought, the Black Magician stood up and headed south, and his destination was the nearest port city - Scar.
************************* I am the legendary gorgeous dividing line***************************
The nights on the frozen tundra are very cold, and the white ice fields are stained with strange colors by the lilac dark moon after the sun sets.
The beasts and monsters lurking in the wilderness widened their chirping pupils and silently watched the dragon cavalry team passing through the snow.
In addition to the occasional howling of beasts from afar, the death-like silence made everyone in the originally bold Knights of Flames feel anxious.
"It's so cold, captain. How far is it from the border checkpoint? If you continue to rush like this, I'm afraid that the dragon will not be able to stand it. Should I let them take a break and then continue?" Because the members of the Knights are all from the southern continent with relatively humid climate, they cannot adapt to the coldness of the north. After running for most of the night, Norman finally couldn't help speaking.
"High Priest, let's find a place to rest against the wind." Randy knew that everyone had been bumping all night and needed a rest. He tentatively asked Moya about his opinion. Although there were many Dragoons, what's ridiculous is that the whole team had to act according to the face of the Dark Night Priest. If she said she wanted to continue on the road, he wouldn't be able to face his tired subordinates.
"It's still a long way to go... It's good to take a break." Looking around, there was only a huge rock in front of me, which just could block the raging wind on the ice field. Moya signaled that it would be better to go there to rest.
"Huh... someone is here again. I didn't expect that there are quite a few people who dare to take the risk of walking on the frozen tundra."
From afar, I heard the sound of talking from the rocks.
"Are you a businessman?" Randy observed a large group of people crowded together. Their clothes were similar. They seemed to be merchants from a certain country, but they always felt that something was wrong.
