Master Tongtian

Chapter 95 Unexpected Recruitment (34)

War is not a child's play, and there is no tenderness.

Soon after receiving the latest information, battle orders were issued from the marshal's camp one after another, and the entire military camp began to move like a giant beast waking up.

Soon, Rosen and others also received new orders from the herald.

‘Frontline reconnaissance to ensure there are no ambushes around the march route. ’

Rosen felt his body and rested for more than an hour. His mana was completely restored.

He thought secretly: 'Although I have the assistance of the secret blue potion, my mana recovery speed seems to be much faster than that of ordinary mages. "

The instructor said that it usually takes about half a day to a day for a low-level mage to recover after running out of mana, and the fastest is 6 hours.

Past experience also tells Rosen that he only needs three hours at most.

I probably know that this is related to the Lord of the Universe meditation. Although I don’t know the reason, it is still a good thing.

Then he looked at Captain Hamill: "Everyone is okay, right?"

"Small injury, no problem!"

"Then let's go."

When they set out again, everyone had no horses to ride.

One is because their horses were injured and their endurance was exhausted. The second reason is that the exploration location is in the mountains and forests near the road, and it is impossible to ride horses in the mountains.

After bringing enough supplies, the group trotted out of the camp.

Rosen thought he was about to venture into the tiger and wolf den again, but he didn't expect that he was stopped by a group of black warriors as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the camp.

There are a total of 6 warriors in this team, and the leader is actually a female warrior.

The other party looked to be in her mid-twenties, wearing a pure black iron-lined thick leather armor, a mask, and a hood, revealing only a pair of golden-brown eyes, and her weapon was a very sophisticated medium-sized steel crossbow.

Rosen also noticed that this female warrior has an excellent figure. She is very similar to the widowed sister from Marvel, but even hotter!

On the chest of her thick leather armor, there is a dark golden symbol that is severely deformed by being propped up on the ground. It is a circle with an upright equilateral triangle inside the circle, and then a long sword penetrates the two.

He recognized the symbol because it belonged to the Temple of Purity, a terrifying institution that could stop children from crying at night.

The female warrior stepped forward and nodded slightly to indicate to everyone.

Then, she said in an indifferent tone as if she was owed ten thousand crowns: "I am Sharina, the exorcist warrior captain of the Pure World Temple, and they are my team members."

"We have received authorization from the count to urgently recruit up to three teams of Silver Moon Rangers to assist in our investigation mission."

"This sentence means that you have been recruited by me!"

The group of Silver Moon warriors looked at each other, and Rosen was confused: "But we just received a military order."

"This is the earl's authorization letter!"

‘Brush~’

A blue and gold paper scroll unfolded in front of Rosen's eyes.

Rosen squinted to check and found that it was indeed the count's handwriting, and it was also stamped with the count's unique magic seal.

Since the count agreed, they naturally had nothing to say.

Rosen turned to look at Captain Hamill behind him. Captain Hamill spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.

Looking at the other rangers, they all shrugged helplessly.

Who can refuse the call from the Pure World Holy Church?

Rosen then gave another military salute: "Ms. Sharina, in the name of Count Omisia, we will be at your disposal."

But he thought to himself: 'What Thrandis said is indeed true. As long as you become stronger, you will be recruited by the temple and face unpredictable dangers. ’

"very good!"

Xialina waved her hand behind her: "Enter the queue!"

Rosen and a group of people followed behind Sharina.

"Set off!"

Xialina shouted again, then turned around and walked towards Yuehui Town.

Rosen was startled and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to recruit all three teams?"

Xialina turned to look at him and said calmly: "Master Rosen, your task is to obey my orders. Don't ask any questions about the rest."

"yes."

Rosen was stunned and turned to look at Captain Hamill.

There was a gloating smile on Captain Hamill's lips, and his expression seemed to say: 'You see, the Pure World Temple is not easy to mess with. ’

Rosen spread his hands and said that he had seen it and would not be stupid again in the future.

However, the news needs to be said.

After walking for a while, Rosen said again: "Ms. Sharina, we still have a team of comrades investigating on the front line. At that time, General Chabolai ordered them to investigate the Labyrinth Forest. We may be able to meet them."

This time, Xia Lina did not criticize anyone. She nodded: "Thank you for the information, Master Rosen. I will refer to it."

These words made Rosen's heart move: "Ms. Sharina, do you know me?"

Sharina smiled faintly: "Didn't we meet before in the wasteland north of Silver Moon Castle?"

Rosen thought for a moment and recalled the original scene.

Yes, after the battle, Faerun accidentally made a move and said "Ms. Sharina" once.

Seeing Rosen's expression of confusion, Sharina smiled lightly: "Mage, to tell you the truth, I have been paying attention to you for a long time."

"Huh?" Rosen was startled. It was not a good thing to be stared at by the Pure World Holy Church.

‘Haha~’

Sharina laughed: "Don't panic, mage, I'm just curious."

After saying this, she said nothing and only focused on leading the way.

Afterwards, a group of seventeen people walked along the road towards Yuehui Town.

After walking for about an hour and about 20 miles away from Yuehui Town, Xia Lina raised her hand and issued an order:

"Follow me up the mountain and take another route to the pyroxene mine."

After saying that, she took the lead and turned into the narrow mountain road next to the avenue.

Rosen's heart moved, and he had already guessed Xialina's purpose.

After he was ready to be frustrated again, he asked: "Ms. Sharina, can you tell us the specific investigation mission?"

Xialina smiled faintly: "It's really hard for you to bear to ask now."

She didn't hide it: "Our trip is to investigate the King of Neverwinter."

"Yes, you brought the initial news to the earl. The earl didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a group of delusional people taking advantage of the chaos to play tricks, but I don't think so."

Having said this, she paused, turned around, and looked around at everyone behind her with solemn eyes.

"In the ancient tribal period, there was a powerful tribe called Zainaro in the Huangshui Highlands, and the god they worshiped was the King of Neverwinter!"

As soon as these words came out, Rosen and the other five exorcist warriors behaved normally, but the Silver Moon Rangers headed by Captain Hamill all looked frightened.

Captain Hamill shouted: "Ms. Sharina, are you right? We are all mortals, how can we care about God's affairs? Are you not seeking death?!"

The voice was loud, but it couldn't hide the panic in his heart.

Ms. Sharina smiled coldly: "Captain, are you deaf? I'm talking about the gods from the ancient times! The ancient times! Do you understand?"

Her golden brown eyes looked around the Silver Moon Ranger.

"At least a thousand years ago from today, we have experienced the Golden Trial, and even the most powerful ancient gods have fallen."

"The most that remains today is just a ray of soul that is about to be extinguished. There may not even be a soul at all, but there are just liars using their names. What's so scary?!"

After saying this, the faces of the Silver Moon Rangers suddenly became much better.

Captain Hamill felt a little shameless and muttered: "Can't you explain it clearly in one sentence? It's so scary."

Rosen heard this and gave him a gloating look.

Captain Hamill secretly rolled his eyes and waved his fist slightly, saying that if the other party wasn't from the Purity Temple, he would have beaten her all over the ground!

Xialina didn't seem to notice these little moves, and she continued to introduce the situation.

"The data shows that the King of Neverwinter's body is a huge banyan tree. He is the ancient god of war and is very sensitive to the atmosphere of war in the world."

"Now that the ice dwarves have invaded and the Yellow Water Highlands are in flames of war, it is likely that the power of this ancient god will be strengthened."

"So, our plan is two-step."

"First, confirm whether the King of Neverwinter really exists."

"Second, if it exists, find the hiding place of the ancient soul and completely destroy it while it is still weak!"

After speaking, she shouted: "Rangers, do you understand?"

"Understood."

The rangers responded in unison, but their voices were not very high and they seemed to be lacking in interest.

This is normal. The war is coming, and everyone is working hard on the front line to make contributions. But in the end, they are lucky enough to go to the mines to investigate Lao Shizi's King of Neverwinter. It is really boring to think about it.

But Sharina didn't care about this: "Okay, rangers, you may think I'm troublesome now, but you will thank me in the future. Am I right, Master Rosen?"

Rosen was startled and looked up at Sharina, only to see that her golden brown eyes were filled with meaning.

There was a movement in my heart, and I had a vague feeling that the situation was far from as optimistic as the other party said.

As a professional exorcist warrior, the other party must know a lot of information that is not convenient for public disclosure, and maybe he will find an opportunity to talk to him in private.

Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement: "Captain Sharina is right. If you can complete this investigation mission, the temple rewards will definitely be very generous, no less than those for meritorious service on the battlefield."

With this said, the soldiers' resistance became much weaker.

Seeing Rosen's cooperation, Xialina chuckled and waved her hand fiercely.

"Okay, let's hurry up! We have to get to the mine before dark!"

Rosen also turned to Hamil and said, "Captain, please be vigilant. Not only should you be wary of the beast-turned-townspeople, but you should also be wary of the ice dwarves."

Hamil looked stern and nodded immediately: "Understood!"

The mountain road is rugged and difficult, but fortunately it is late winter, there are no weeds blocking the view, and there are no poisonous insects on the road. Although it is a bit tiring, it is still safe.

When it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun set near the horizon and the sunlight quickly turned dark red, everyone climbed to the top of the mountain forest.

A huge valley appeared at the foot of the mountain ahead. The ground in the valley was covered with green gravel. Seven or eight holes of different sizes could be seen on the rock wall. Support frames made of logs could be seen around each hole.

That is the pyroxene mine.

Xialina raised her hand to signal everyone to stop, then took out a bronze telescope from the bag on her back and carefully observed the situation in the valley.

As she watched, her expression gradually became serious.

"Someone is mining in the valley, isn't it? It's not a human, it's the beast Rosen. Come and see if it's the beast-turned-citizen you met before?"

She handed the binoculars to Rosen.

Rosen took the telescope and looked at the location pointed by the other party. Sure enough, he saw a moving figure.

The quality of the telescope was average and the light was dim. The figure looked very blurry, but this naturally did not faze Rosen. He opened the adventure log to zoom in.

Now it's clear.

The muzzle is elongated, with long canine teeth, and the skin is blue and black. The arms are elongated past the knees, and the fingertips have nails like cat claws. Although the person walks upright, it is unstable and needs to be assisted by hands from time to time. For a moment, it looked like an orangutan.

It's a wolf orc.

He looked around the entire mine again, and found more than thirty active wolf orcs, as well as many fresh traces of life.

Handing the telescope back to Xialina: "Yes, they are ordinary beast-turned-townspeople. Judging from the traces, the total number may be seventy or eighty."

Captain Hamill interjected: "But what are these monsters doing in the mine?"

Rosen smiled faintly: "Moonstone is a good thing. We can use it, and so can those ice dwarf wizards."

Sharina put away the binoculars and sighed.

"It appears that our investigation has encountered huge obstacles."

"But no matter what, it's all about tomorrow. Today, we have to find a place to repair it."
