The world of sword and magic

Benoit was talking about the past, his eyes filled with pain. Before that happened, he never thought that Black Scorpion actually had that kind of desire for him, and he couldn't even tolerate being loyal because of it. The blood evil, just because he is always inseparable from the blood... for a while Benoist fell into the vortex of memories, and even his body ached as if he still remembered the original pain.

"Captain, I'm really sorry." Schiller's gentle voice interrupted Benoit's thinking, "What happened after that, and how you escaped, I won't ask unless you are willing to tell. I I'm just worried, you are the companion of Black Scorpion," Schiller smiled wryly, "After all, he is the most dangerous of the robbers around here. Other robbers just rob property but may not kill people, but Black Scorpion... almost Every shot must leave no one alive, and sometimes it only kills but does not move the goods at all. I can see that you are not lying, and I am sorry to make you recall such painful things." Schiller bowed his head deeply to express his apology , looking rather guilty.

Others also looked a little guilty.

"Don't take it too seriously, Schiller's suspicion is very reasonable, and I don't mean to blame you." Benoit calmly reassured everyone. As expected of an experienced caravan captain, everyone quickly calmed down. "I think the target of the black scorpion should be only me, so if you are worried, you can go first, the black scorpion should not send people to chase and kill."

In addition to Benoit, there were three drivers, six porters, and two other businessmen in the caravan team, and then there were Navitt hired by Benoit and Schiller, who was newly hired by Benoit. Two guards.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone started whispering. It seemed morally unreasonable to leave Benoist behind, but life was still precious, so everyone started arguing endlessly; however, Navitt and Schiller did not join the dispute at all.

"Captain, I won't leave." Schiller said, "I'm the guard you invited, so I won't leave until the commission is completed. I won’t go, anyway, the account of those two lives is definitely on my head.” Although the two dead Black Scorpion subordinates committed suicide by taking poison, Schiller shot them and injured them so that they could not escape It is also true.

"Me too!" Navitt said, "Since I have accepted the commission, I must do it to the end! And...Since Schiller wants to stay, I will not leave!" After finishing these words, everyone burst into laughter. The tense emotions at the scene disappeared without a trace. No matter what time it is, Na Werther is still in the mood to think about the beauty!

But Schiller didn't laugh out loud, just smiled lightly, glanced at Navitt, and thought that maybe Navitt was not just a simple-minded swordsman, Schiller knew very well that those coachmen and porters would definitely fight with the other two. The businessman will not take such unnecessary risks because of his passion for the moment; and Benoit only has one carload of goods that he can drive by himself. It was right for the guards hired by Wa to stay, but it would still be uneasy for others to hear that the guards were gone. However, Navitt's words had the effect of relieving everyone's tension.

When the others left one after another, only Benoit, Navitt and Schiller and a cart of goods were left on the scene. Benoit drove the car while Navitt and Schiller continued their escort work. Silence, and no one tried to break the silence. They knew that it was a matter of life and death, and it was best not to say anything to avoid distraction.

"Will you regret it?" Benoit said suddenly and thoughtlessly, "It's fine if I die. I really don't want to take the lives of two young people."

"We are all on the same boat now, so what are we talking about!" Navit said, "Besides, young man? Captain, do you know how old I am?" Benoit shook his head, Navit continued , "I'm not a human boy in his twenties. Demons have a long lifespan. Don't look at me like this. I'm already over 300 years old." The ten-year-old of the demons is about the growth of one year of human beings, and the average life expectancy It is about 200 years old, and it is not surprising that long-lived people live to 50 years old. The appearance of the demons in their twenties is at least [-] years old. In addition, the age of the demons reaches a certain level. Even the oldest demons look like middle-aged people in their [-]s and [-]s, and so do the elves.

"Well, yes, I'm almost two hundred years old, and I'm older than you, Captain." Schiller said this, noticing that Benoit and Navitt were staring at him, "You two are so stupid Look at me?"

"My god! You are underage at all! How dare those old guys in the Green Forest let you out!" Navet shouted in disbelief.

The so-called Green Forest refers to the vast forest where most elves live. It is the main settlement of elves. According to the law of elves, adults must be two hundred years old. In addition, they must pass the adult trial before they can leave the Green Forest. Mori went outside, not only because elves are xenophobic, but also to protect those young elves. Beautiful elves are regarded as precious commodities, and there are often unscrupulous businessmen who capture elves and sell them in order to make money. This is why elves The main reason for hating other races so much.

"I'm a half-elf, so 150 years old is considered an adult." Schiller said nonchalantly.

That's not the point of the question, is it?Navet almost had the urge to yell. Those elf elders in the Green Forest wished that the young people would not leave, so the content of the trial was extremely difficult. There was almost no way for elves who had just turned two hundred years old to pass, let alone those who were less than two hundred years old. Year-old half-elf?The difference between elves and half-elves is not just blood. Affected by human blood, half-elves live much longer than humans, but they are often shorter than pure-blooded elves. In terms of speed, eyesight, or magical aptitude, they are probably not as good as those of the same age. For a pure blood elf, passing the test is almost as difficult as reaching the sky.

"Schiller, you are not a smuggler, are you?" Navitt looked suspicious.

"What are you talking about? Smuggling is harder than passing the test, isn't it? The magic barrier surrounding the Green Forest is not just a beautiful decoration. I passed the test and walked out."

"So there really are people like this in the world..." Navette muttered to himself, "God is too unfair! How can someone be so handsome, strong, and so rational! Can you cheat at all?" Navette pointed to Schiller, and there he began to lament.

"I think it's amazing to have demons like you." Schiller said very implicitly. It's unbelievable that Navitt can live to such an age. The demons are indeed considered strong, but his simple character can survive until now in the demons with a strong sense of competition, except for Navitt himself, who has good strength, which has to be said to be blessed by God.

"Schiller, are you complimenting me? I'm so touched!" Navitt's eyes were shining brightly, so that Schiller couldn't even say what he was going to complain about, so he had to pretend not to see it.Although Navitt and Schiller have been bickering, they still pay attention to the surrounding situation. Everything around them seems to be very calm, and they still dare not be careless.

At this moment, Schiller suddenly laughed, but his expression was a little nervous, "Navitte, I'm afraid we are in big trouble."

"What?" Navitt asked immediately when he realized that something might have happened.

"We are surrounded. It is a blessing in misfortune that there are no archers and magicians among the enemies. If I am not mistaken, there are 27 people, right? How many people can you deal with at one time?" At this moment, it has been fully utilized, but such a number makes Schiller really uncomfortable, and in the range he cannot see, he is not sure if there are no other enemies.

"It depends on the strength of the opponent, right? But no matter what, I can't fight ten at a time. I think the maximum of four is the limit." Navitt said honestly.

Schiller sighed heavily, "Captain, what about you?"

"Maximum two. I have learned assassination skills. It's okay to fight alone. I'm not sure if I really want to fight with a crowd." Benoit replied truthfully.

"So it's six?" Schiller fell into a long test, "It's impossible for me to kill 21 people at once... I can only force my way in. Anyway, the enemies are at a distance from each other, and it is impossible without long-range attackers. Attack us at the same time, we just go straight to the north."

"North? But the place we are going to is Kanalye!" Navitt was a little puzzled, why not go west?

"The black scorpion also knows that we are going there, so it will definitely ambush in the west. The defense in the east is particularly weak, obviously trying to lure us back to the original path. As for the south... Although there seems to be no abnormality, we must not go there." Xi Le paused for a while, "Going all the way to the south, we will come across the forest. We must get off the carriage there. Although the forest is better to hide, but the enemy is also easy to ambush and defeat us, so only the north is left. Of course This is just my personal judgment, maybe it’s because I think too much, it’s not necessarily the case, the decision is still left to the captain, after all the captain knows how the black scorpion will act.”

"Let's go north." Benoit said firmly, "Schiller, I trust your judgment."
