Amway from heaven
Work related
good lead. "
Cain opened his mouth wide: "What kind of clue is this?"
"That's right, this is indeed a clue." Mikael nodded, "It means that those mercenaries disappeared shortly after departure."
"Why..." Cain's eyes widened suddenly, "I understand! Because they haven't had a chance to spend the gems yet! If they spend the gems, people will probably see their flaws, and even if they want to absorb the magic power in the gems, they will wait. When it was relatively stable, no wonder that old guy just told us not to let us go out casually!"
Ray looked at Cain with an expression you only knew, and Cain shrank his neck.
"Only sapphire is real, I should choose sapphire..." Cain lowered his head and muttered repeatedly.
"It looks like this matter will end soon. When will the nobles you contacted come to pick us up?" Lei asked with a smile.
Cain's head sank even lower: "Very...soon!"
Mikael frowned, feeling that something was wrong with Cain's behavior, but Lei clapped his hands before he could speak.
"In short, enjoy the good time of the night!" Lei's face was full of smiles, "Baron Huanella will serve us personally tonight!"
Mikael: "Cain..."
"You haven't attended the bonfire party yet, have you? How about letting me find you an outfit?" Lei put his arms around Mikael's shoulders with a smile on his face.
Mikael: "Okay, put it on my account."
☆, the one-in-a-million beauty
Probably because the only king of hell failed to hear the prayer in time, until the night fell and the bonfire party was held as scheduled, there was still no drop of rain in the sky.
Ray prepared Mikael a white sleeveless gown, with a beautiful gold belt and braided ribbon, making the apprentice angel look even more dazzling than usual.Ray himself put on a high-waisted wide-sleeved jacket with striped bloomers, a purple pointed cap, a dark green bow tie, and the bell clown boots that he always wore on his feet, interpreting the outstanding two from another aspect. the meaning of the word.In contrast, Cain, who has no second clothes except for his old vest, is much simpler.He just pinned a shiny brooch on the chest of his vest to show his anticipation for the bonfire party.
The three happily headed towards the venue of the party, especially Cain, because he missed the delicious roadside stalls, and the anticipation for Baron Juanella, who has extraordinary cooking skills, is beyond words!
It wasn't too early for them to arrive.The aroma of grilled skewers can be smelled in the air from a distance, and the hot wind at night blows the sparks in the campfire into the sky, which looks like a dark red galaxy.The mercenaries gathered together in piles here and there, seemingly in harmony on the surface.
Mikael and Ray hang out for a while, Mikael's outstanding looks can attract the attention of demons everywhere.They meet Cripps, their housekeeper, who has combed his goatee into a neat bow.
"Miss Octobe's headache is getting better, I think she will come here soon. Oh, she's here!" The old butler looked in a certain direction with eyes admiring rare treasures.
Mikael was also aroused curiosity.He followed the other person's line of sight forward, and was completely shocked.
"I... my aesthetics are... very different from hell... and your aesthetics?" Mikael's lips were a little uncomfortable.Miss Octobe's shocking appearance made him suspect for the first time that the dress he was wearing might not fit well. Dressing like Ray's was the most appropriate and elegant dress in hell.
"My dear friend, believe me, I see her feeling the same way you feel seeing her." Ray's expression also went blank for a moment.
According to legend, Miss Octobe, the great beauty that even the king would fall in love with, does have snow-like skin, which is so pale that even the lime powder used to paint the walls cannot compare with it, and her lips are as red as red. Fire, but the floor area is a bit too big, as for her dull blonde hair... Ray swore not to say it was Mikael's hair, even Cain's bird feathers are thinner and more dry than this lady's yellow wax Hair looks a hundred times better!
"Hehehehe...Young people always fail to see the essence of things!" Old Cripps stroked his beard, "It is rumored that Miss Octobe's dowry is a whole box of fifth-order gems. Now you see if she is Think she's much prettier? If I'm not too old to be good enough for her... oh..." He shook his head and walked away.
"A whole box of fifth-order gems..." Lei repeated in a low voice, "I think it's fascinating to look at Miss Octobe."
Mikael suspects something is wrong with his ears.
"I want to give another box of fifth-order gems to the brave man who dares to marry her, in recognition of his bravery." Lei said with a strange expression.
Mikael wanted to laugh, but desperately held back out of a sense of justice.
"You shouldn't talk about a lady's marriage like this. If you don't consider those rumors, she's just a poor lady suffering from a headache." said the righteous trainee angel.
"Okay, okay... I just felt the shock of having a piece of my heart go out, and I think I might need to sleep next to you tonight to avoid nightmares. Let's go! See what our friend Cain told us What are you bringing!" Ray grabbed Mikael's hand and met Cain who had turned into a boy.
"Have you seen that so-and-so lady? She looks really... Hey! Why are you staring at my skewers? It's the secret Baron Huanera that I've been waiting in line for a long time. Skewers!" Cain protected the few skewers in his hands like a hen protecting a chick.
"Miss Octob's Great Wall is very pitiful, and you still cruelly mock her appearance, which makes me have to consider whether to continue to cooperate with you. Maybe earning commissions steadily is a better choice?" Lei Said with a frown.
Cain was stunned: "What did you say?"
A smile bloomed on Lei's face: "I mean, unless you give me the skewer immediately, I will report your plot to Miss Octobe. Do you know that her dowry is a A whole box of Tier [-] gems!"
"You devil! I knew it would be no good if you stared at my skewers!" Cain yelled.
"Thank you for the compliment." Ray smiled and held out his hand.
Cain thought about it, and had to accept the reality that he was bullied again.With tears in his eyes, he handed the skewers into Lei's hands, turned around and turned into a thrush and flew towards the end of the long line.
"Would you like to taste it?" Ray gave half of the skewers to Mikael, "Now I think I've calmed down a bit."
"Don't bully Cain all the time." Mikael corrected his friend earnestly.
Ray shrugged: "Either bully you or bully him."
"...Then just bully me."
"puff!!!"
The night before the rainy season is always so pleasant, everyone was satisfied at the bonfire party, except for a little fly in the ointment, such as Ray, who was promised to bully Mikael, couldn't figure out how to do it for a long time Bullying Mikael, or Cain who was in the second team but failed to get a skewer, couldn't find a way to get revenge on Lei.
In short, a better day is quietly brewing.
The next day, a whole hundred carriages set off from Huanera.Baron Juanella saw Count Octobe off in person. He kissed Miss Octobe's hand and said goodbye to them. As for whether he was regretting the departure of the whole box of fifth-order gems or Miss Octobe's If you leave, you will not know.
Most of the mercenaries rode horses provided by Count Octob, and some mercenaries who were proficient in magic sat in carriages.Cain finally didn't have to be a scout anymore, and at Mikael's insistence, he sat on Mikael's left shoulder and dozed off.A few mercenaries sent Xinniao to scout, but they soon discovered that no one in the vicinity dared to attack such a team, and even the monsters on the way forward had long since fled without a trace.So, on the third night after departure, many people drank delicious bird soup.
"I went to ask Steward Cripps today, these horses will be owned by the mercenaries after completing the escort mission!" Lei stroked the horse's mane happily. Since he had horses, his dromedary camel He threw it into the space prop.
"You seem to be too involved." Mikael frowned slightly, lowered his voice and said, "We are not here to be mercenaries. This Count Octobe always wears a strange hat to cover his face, Octobe The lady almost always has a headache. We only walk six hours a day, and the count doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get back to the estate. I always feel that something is wrong."
"Relax my friend, maybe nothing will happen. Don't forget that Cain is a stupid bird that falls off your shoulders in his sleep!"
Mikael turned his head and glanced at the thrush who was drooling, and suddenly felt that Lei's words made sense.
"But you said they hired mercenaries with fake gems." Mikael was always worried about this matter.
"Think about it, for a nobleman whose people around him were slaughtered, it would be great to escape. How could he still carry a lot of gems? Compared with kidnapping a large number of mercenaries, making fake gems is nothing event."
Mikael was silent for a moment: "If it's really just fake gems and there are no other problems, I think I will seriously complete the escort mission."
"Who said they don't have other problems?" Lei's grinning face looked very unbearable, "Their problems are coming soon!"
The team walked forward for a while, and the noisy chatter of the mercenaries suddenly subsided, and there was an unusual smell in the air, and the experienced mercenaries immediately reported to the housekeeper.The carriage stopped slowly and formed a circle. Inside the circle were mercenaries who were good at magic, and outside the circle were mercenaries who were proficient in fighting skills.
The sound of orderly footsteps is getting closer and closer, and the situation in front of them is gradually clear. It is a group of soldiers in armor. They stand in a square formation. The front row is holding a rectangular shield that is one person high, and the back is holding a spear. and soldiers with swords.
"Is it a passing army?" Some mercenaries who had seen the big scene muttered.
The intention of the opponent was obviously not good, about two thousand soldiers quickly divided into two groups, encircling Count Octob's team in the middle.
"At the command of Commander Fraser, please invite Miss Octobe to visit the Commander's Mansion!" The effect of two thousand soldiers shouting the same sentence was astonishing. Several horses stood upright in fright, and even Cain Waking up from a dream in a panic.
The mercenaries looked at each other with strange expressions.It is a secret that the whole hell knows that Commander Phras loves beautiful women, but no one thought that he would send two large groups of soldiers so far away to ask for someone.Is this also a tragedy caused by beauty?But the appearance of that Miss Octobe... I hope Commander Foras will not feel regretful and hurt his toe after seeing her!
"Are you here to look for me?" With a standard duck voice, the curtain of Earl Octobe's carriage was lifted, and Miss Octobe stepped out of the carriage with correct steps.
Mikael saw the lead officer's mouth become an O.
☆, the trap in the valley
"You are Miss Octobe? The consequences of deceiving the commander are very serious!" The officer yelled at Miss Octobe with a nearly collapsed expression.
"I am Miss Octobe! There are more than 500 people here who can testify for me." Miss Octobe rubbed her temples calmly.
"That's right, she is Miss Octobe who has a whole box of fifth-order gems in her dowry!"
"Yes, yes, the person you are looking for is her!"
"Of course this is Miss Octobe, who in all hell is more beautiful than her?"
The mercenaries testified for Miss Octobe with a lot of tongues, including many courteous words.
The officer looked sad, and now he felt that the opportunity he had worked so hard to win to please the commander was really a huge trap.Although demons are hypocritical by nature, it is rare for hundreds of people to open their eyes and tell lies like this.No wonder Miss Octobe's dowry was too rich!
The officer found to his sorrow that even he found Miss Octobe's face much more pleasing than before.
"You just said that Commander Foras invited me to meet him? Oh my God! I have never met a real commander! I heard that Commander Foras is very charming?" Miss Octobe said with surprise ask.
"No, no, no...you heard it wrong!" The officer said firmly, "The commander just asked me to escort the lady. Yes, it is an escort, not an invitation! Where are you going? Please let me escort you to your destination !” Until now, he was still lucky.What if Miss Octobe, the great beauty, is really someone and the one in front of her is just a stand-in?
"I'm going back to our territory with my father. As you can see, we hired a lot of mercenaries, so I won't bother you to escort them." Miss Octobe declined.
"No, no, no, it's not troublesome at all! It's not peaceful in this area recently, so let me escort the lady!" If you return home like this, you will definitely be reprimanded by the commander. The officer decided to stay for two more days no matter what, and find the real Mademoiselle Octobe.
In the end, under the repeated insistence of the officers, the team of 500 people suddenly increased to 500 people.The soldiers under the leadership of Frashi took on the task of opening the way, and the mercenaries readily accepted the soldiers to go with them. For them, there was nothing better than earning commissions in a safe and secure manner.
Looks like a smooth road ahead.
Mikael and Ray mixed in the mercenary team, looking like a pair of close friends who didn't care about aesthetic differences.
"Master Earl is in trouble." Lei smirked and leaned into Mikael's ear, "These escorting soldiers will definitely disrupt their plans."
"Could it be that Commander Fraser knows something? The fact that he wanted to forcibly take Miss Octobe away was to investigate the truth about the disappearance of the mercenary?" Mikael thought seriously.
Cain, who was resting on Mikael's shoulder, immediately let out a few loud laughs with his beak when he heard this, and was then flicked off by Lei with two fingers.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid Commander Foras just wants to snatch a beauty back and get closer." Lei said in a sad tone.
"Yes, the number of lovers led by this Phras is beyond counting, and the number of times he was framed by his lovers is almost beyond counting, hahahaha... How could this kind of person use such tricks?" Cain said Said and flew back to Mikael's shoulder.
Mikael frowned, worried about the chastity concept of hell creatures.
"There are soldiers here, the count can't do anything. They will definitely find a way to solve this trouble, we just need to keep our eyes open." Lei judged.
Mikael decides to be more vigilant.If all these soldiers were taken in, the situation would be too bad.
The huge team walked eastward slowly for three days, and the officers who commanded the two thousand men were almost desperate for this mission.
He had confirmed that Miss Octobe was Miss Octobe.She has neither changed her appearance nor been cursed, she has truly grown into this appearance.Now the only thing that makes people reluctant to leave is the box of fifth-tier gems.Every morning, he vacillated between going back and staying with the officer who endured Miss Octobe's gossip about him, and then firmly chose to stay another day.
Who told him that he didn't have a title, and his annual income plus extra money was nothing more than a fifth-tier inferior gem!
"There is a valley in front of it. The two ends are very narrow, and only two or three people can pass through at the same time." The letter bird brought back the news from the sky.
The officer thought about it, and planned to send a team to reconnaissance, but he happened to be caught by Miss Octobe at the moment, and when he wanted to send the order, the team had already started to walk into the valley.
Forget it, there will be no problem, there are a total of [-] strong fighters here.
The smooth journey of the previous three days made the officer put aside his vigilance about the terrain, and he explained to Miss Octobe the fact that Commander Flash had so many lovers, just when he said that Commander was not a good candidate for a fiancé , When you should carefully consider the people around you, the warning signal came.
With a crackling sound, several soldiers with blood on their faces ran back to report the news.They encountered a surprise attack, and there were not many surprise attackers, blocking the exit of the valley, throwing stones and magic from top to bottom.Because of the terrain, the soldiers were temporarily unable to break through the exit.Those seemingly chaotic spells turned out to be surprisingly easy to use, causing a large group of soldiers to fall to the ground in just a short while.A new round of magic fell to the ground, and the ground became muddy, with many forbidding black plants growing.
"It's bad! There's a huge beast behind us!" The mercenary who was supposed to be at the back of the line ran up in panic.
"Large alien beast? How could this be?" Miss Octobe turned pale all of a sudden, although her face couldn't be any whiter.
There was a terrible sound from the entrance of the valley, as if thousands of people were pounding the ground at the same time.The dust raised high completely covered the contents inside.The speed of the dust was advancing very fast, and mercenaries were drawn in from time to time, screaming shrilly.
"Let's go! Go forward!" The officer drew his sword and pointed to the exit.
The bigger the alien beast in hell, the stronger it is, and after reaching the earl level, the ability has experienced a qualitative leap.These giant hell natives have invulnerable skin, and even the magic that can work on them is very limited. Coupled with their super resilience, a strange beast is far more powerful than a demon of the same level.
Judging from the situation where the dust was rising, it might not be as simple as an earl-level beast!
The officer jumped on his horse with unprecedented vigor. In his opinion, the small group of sneak attackers in front could not be compared with the strange beast behind.
The mercenaries quickly reacted and gathered around the carriage, protecting the carriage and rushing forward.
"The road is blocked!" cried the soldiers in despair.
The raiders blocking the intersection have disappeared without a trace, but the magic they left behind has spawned many plants.In just a moment, the exit of the valley was blocked by countless black vines!
Fire magic or corrosion magic does not work on vines, but instead makes them grow thicker.Mikael wanted to fly over the plants, but Ray tugged at his arm and shook his head slightly.
"Do you think these demons have no wings? If someone is ambushing above, they will only become targets if they fly up."
"But……"
"You'll be fine."
The officer rushed to the black plant and cursed a few words.Twenty soldiers were sent up to explore the way. They spread their fleshy wings and fell down foaming at the mouth before reaching the height of the plants.
"Damn it, it's a forbidden air trap!"
Time is running out, and there is no time to find out where there are traps and where there are no traps.The officer couldn't help but wailed, he didn't want to be locked up in the valley with a strange beast at all!
"If you turn around and go back now, you may have a chance to run out of the valley." A demon wearing clown boots said beside him.
The officer felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw!
Since the beast was chasing from the direction of the entrance, it meant that the entrance might not be guarded now!Better to go around and try your luck than to die against a wall!
It is obviously impossible to go straight and pass under the nose of the alien beast. If you go around the edge of the valley, you may be overtaken by the alien beast. There is only one way left!
"Miss Octobe, you go to the left, I go to the right, and meet at the entrance!"
The officer left a word and led the people to escape close to the valley.
A box of Tier [-] gems is not as important as life. Dividing the troops into two groups has at least half the chance of escaping!
The mercenaries froze for a moment, hesitating who to go with. When they saw the dust raised by the strange beast seemed to be chasing after the soldiers in the direction of fleeing, there was nothing to stop their determination to protect their employers!
This is the beginning of a great escape!
"Will the entrance be unguarded? This looks like a trap." Mikael followed the crowd vigilantly and galloped. "Is that strange beast powerful? There is no possibility of defeating him?"
"Are you kidding me? Such a big beast looks like a marquis... Oh no, the strength of a duke!" Cain was so frightened that his hair was all put away, and he looked a whole circle smaller than usual , "The sum of all the people here is not his opponent, fighting him is equal to death!"
Mikael: "..."
"Mikael, do you want to eat grilled octopus?" Ray asked suddenly, as if he was thinking about something.
Mikael frowned slightly: "What is that?"
"It's a delicious food made by dipping fresh octopus in seasonings and grilling on an iron plate, then brushing with a little oil and turning over to continue roasting, and finally sprinkle with sesame seeds and seasonings. Grilled octopus is delicious, especially the wrist The part is simply delicious!" Lei seemed not to be affected by the tense atmosphere at the moment, and introduced how to grill octopus vividly.
"I don't want to eat now." Mikael thought for a while and said, "We must concentrate on breaking through."
"Okay, let's eat next time." Lei said with some regret.
Cain could not understand the thinking of these two people at all, the smell of the same kind frightened him, especially the dust raised up, which gave him very bad associations.
It shouldn't be coming for me... right?
Crouching on Mikael's shoulder, the brown thrush prayed silently.
☆、Rain from the sea
Finally, the mercenaries running in the front can already see the entrance of the valley!
The power of the alien beast messed up the rocks at the entrance, and there were smashed stones everywhere, but fortunately, no one was guarding it.
The mercenaries cheered and began to speed up.After discovering that there is no air-forbidden trap in this place, they can't wait to spread the fleshy wings on their backs, scrambling to escape from the cage.The demons have ferocious expressions, the spikes on their flesh wings cut through their clothes, and when they flap, they create a gust of wind. If you don't know that you are fleeing, just looking at their posture, it looks like they are charging!However, Mikael doubts whether the demon can maintain such a mental outlook when it really needs to charge.
Most of the carriages were hastily discarded at the entrance of the valley, and a few clever mercenaries lit a fire on them and released a lot of poisonous smoke.Even if the strange beast came after him at this time, it would be delayed for a while by the fire and poisonous smoke.At this moment, the mercenaries seemed to have selectively forgotten the companions they agreed to meet at the entrance.
"May the only king of hell receive their souls, and thanks to their self-sacrifice, we can escape!"
An old mercenary stood praying outside the valley, with a happy smile on his face.
The team of 500 people was reduced by more than 20 people because of this ambush, and some people were slightly injured when they pushed and squeezed each other while escaping.Most of the supplies were lost in the valley, but Miss Octobe, who was terrified, said that as long as people were fine, she didn't care about these extraneous things.
After a brief negotiation, the Steward Cripps announced a new route. They would go far away from this valley and take a long way to the next city.This result is of course in the hands of the mercenaries, they no longer have to worry about being the rations of strange beasts!
Shortly after setting off again, it suddenly began to rain.Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, making shallow pits in the dust.The dry heat in the air was expelled at once, and the road quickly became muddy with the pouring rain. The rain was so violent that people had the illusion that there were only colder and colder drops left in the world. and strong winds sweeping across the land.
The mercenaries took out their rain gear one after another.Ray found a silver cloak for Mikael to put on.This thin cloak is very waterproof, and the hood part is attached to the butterfly mask that can cover the upper half of the face. The collar is fastened with a beautiful metal buckle.
"It looks good." Lei nodded with satisfaction, "Are you sure you want to let Cain in? Birds are not afraid of rain!"
At this moment, Cain was curled up on Mikael's shoulder. He heard Ray's words and turned around, pointing his butt to his neckline.
"The wind is too strong, I'm afraid he will be blown away." The mask covered Mikael's eyes, his straight nose bridge was stained with water droplets, and his pursed lips looked more serious than usual. "Don't you wear a hat?"
Ray had a hat attached to his cloak, but he wasn't wearing it.
"Me?" Ray smiled, "I don't need shelter from the rain."
Mikael always felt that Thunder looked a little different in the rain.The hell traveler's hair was wet on his scalp, the rain even wet his eyelashes, and the rain blurred his outline, but those blue eyes seemed to be able to see through the rain, as sharp as a Sheathed sword.
It seems that something is different...
The cold rain soaked into the collar, and Mikael's back was straightened, as if it hadn't been affected in the slightest.
There was no sound of thunder in the violent wind and rain that swept across the world.The rain washed away the hot rock not long ago, and the plants with insufficient toughness were uprooted, almost hitting a mercenary in the head.The carriage became more and more difficult, leaving small streams behind the ruts.While cursing the unpredictable weather, the mercenaries rejoiced that the strange beasts probably would not be able to catch up in such heavy rain.
After more than an hour, the rain did not stop at all, but it became heavier and heavier.Compared with the raging wind and rain, the team of 500 people is just a flat boat in the sea.Mademoiselle Octobe had another headache, and the road was so difficult that they had to stop to take shelter from the rain.The mercenaries found a huge rock and rested on the leeward side.
Mikael used magic to make an awning, and many mercenaries squeezed in after seeing it.There was only the sound of chaotic rain in my ears, and the unlucky experience of this day made the mercenaries have no desire to speak.
"Is this the rainy season in hell?" Mikael, who was standing at the corner of the awning, stretched out his hand, letting the raindrops gather in his palm.
It was cold, with a biting chill.
Mikael thought of the paradise he had lived in for nearly 20 years.It is like spring all year round, and the sun is shining almost every day. Fountains, pools, and lakes of all sizes keep the air moist all the time.It rains in heaven, too, but it's a drizzle, never like this, like someone is pouring water on the ground with a bucket.
"The rainy season shouldn't be here yet." Lei caught some rainwater and sniffed it. "It smells like sea water."
"Can the rainwater float all the way from the sea to this place?" Cain, who was curled up on Mikael's shoulder, asked curiously.
Ray smiled. "Normally not. It's rain from the sea." He narrowed his eyes.
"Huh?" Mikael looked at Lei with a questioning look, "Is there any problem?"
Lei shook his head: "It's not sure yet."
"I don't know what happened to those soldiers. They are all subordinates of the demon king Bryce." Cain said with some concern.
"I can't save them." Mikael said, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.
The devil's spirit of flying separately in the face of a catastrophe was beyond his expectation. If the angel army encountered such a situation, how could they unite and advance and retreat together.Of course, this may also be because he doesn't understand the horror of alien beasts enough.Although the soldiers were the first to abandon the mercenaries, Mikael still brooded over his powerlessness.
"I hope they're okay." Cain whispered.
"They will only be a little frightened at most." Lei patted Mikael on the shoulder, "In such a heavy rain, the strange beast will find a place to hide."
Mikael was silent.Holding the sword hilt in his hand and looking straight ahead, he remembered the rocks smashed by strange beasts near the entrance of the valley.
"What kind of class is my strength?" He asked.
"Apprentice fallen angels are a little better than ordinary demons, right? Maybe you can become a baron if you work hard?" Cain bluffed.
"The strength of a person is not how sharp his sword is, but how strong his heart is." Ray looked into Mikael's eyes and said, "Every hell creature has its boundaries, but you don't. Someday you will have the ability to defeat any creature of hell, and I want to see what you can do with that power."
Mikael frowned: "It's your particularism again?"
Ray smiled: "You'd agree with me, you just haven't seen the difference in yourself yet."
"You two really have great ambitions." Cain whispered.
"I feel like I'm about to break through," Mikael said suddenly.
Apprentice angels will receive the blessing of the Creator God after they are allowed to advance, which allows their strength to increase rapidly and grow new wings.But even without the help of the Creator God, trainee angels can break through on their own after their strength reaches a certain level, but this is very rare.Ever since he came to Hell, Mikael has always felt that his strength is increasing, and the speed of growth is still gradually accelerating, and the accumulation has even made him faintly see signs of breakthrough.
"So fast? It looks like this benzo is quite useful..." Lei glanced at Cain happily.
Cain: "Huh? Does this have anything to do with me?"
"With you doing chores, Mikael can concentrate on other things." Lei said naturally.
Cain: "..."
"The rain stopped." Mikael looked at the sky with a faint smile on his face.
The heavy rain that swept everything suddenly stopped at some point, the sky returned to the gray brightness it was before, and the temperature also picked up little by little.The mercenaries stepped out of the awning one after another, stretching their limbs happily.
"On the road, on the road!" Butler Cripps greeted loudly.
Mikael carefully put away the cloak Ray had given him and returned it to his friend.He mounted the horse and shook his wings lightly. "Let's go!" Although he is not yet the opponent of the strange beast, and he is weaker than many people in hell, but one day he can catch up!
"I feel like something interesting is about to happen!" Lei smiled and got on his horse neatly.
At the same time, in a place not too far away from here, the mood of another group of people became extremely clear with the change of the weather.
In fact, the soldiers who managed to escape the valley did not have time to lament their good fortune until this time.
I didn't expect that strange beast to be afraid of water!
The strange beast was chasing after them, but the sudden heavy rain made the strange beast stop suddenly.He let out a huge roar, and the rhythm of beating the ground was so fast that it was like playing a drum kit, and even the ground shook.Finally, he finally stopped moving, and the dust in the sky disappeared under the washing of the rain, but at the same time, the figure of the strange beast could not be seen clearly.
The soldiers were terrified, they walked towards the entrance little by little, and after finding that the beast had not moved, they began to run wildly with joy.After finally running to the entrance and seeing the scattered carriages on the ground, they realized that their companions had already escaped.At this moment, all the soldiers wished they could catch all those who escaped before and throw them into the mouth of the beast!
Fortunately, both the fire and the poisonous smoke were extinguished by the heavy rain. They escaped from the valley, not even daring to breathe, and walked towards the nearest town in the rain.
Blessed by the only king of hell, they can finally escape the fate of being eaten!
When the heavy rain finally stopped and the officers began to count the casualties, they realized that a man in a black robe had already stood in front of them at some point.His robes were impeccable, a black goshawk perched on his arm, and his long blond hair was neatly combed back.The man's facial features looked mild and harmless, with a pair of small round glasses on the slightly raised bridge of the nose, and a book in his right hand.He looks like a scholar, but scholars don't appear in the wasteland so strangely.
The officer's eyes widened as he recognized the person coming.The thin and emaciated man in front of him is the most trusted think tank of the demon king Bryce. It is said that the duke whose power surpasses any duke is Agares, the duke of the swamp!
"Duke... Your Excellency Duke, why are you here?"
The blond man looked at the group of soldiers who had escaped death. "You've done a good job." He smiled and waved to the officer.
"Huh?" The officer was puzzled.
"Come with me! I have brought the king's orders, and Lord Phras
Cain opened his mouth wide: "What kind of clue is this?"
"That's right, this is indeed a clue." Mikael nodded, "It means that those mercenaries disappeared shortly after departure."
"Why..." Cain's eyes widened suddenly, "I understand! Because they haven't had a chance to spend the gems yet! If they spend the gems, people will probably see their flaws, and even if they want to absorb the magic power in the gems, they will wait. When it was relatively stable, no wonder that old guy just told us not to let us go out casually!"
Ray looked at Cain with an expression you only knew, and Cain shrank his neck.
"Only sapphire is real, I should choose sapphire..." Cain lowered his head and muttered repeatedly.
"It looks like this matter will end soon. When will the nobles you contacted come to pick us up?" Lei asked with a smile.
Cain's head sank even lower: "Very...soon!"
Mikael frowned, feeling that something was wrong with Cain's behavior, but Lei clapped his hands before he could speak.
"In short, enjoy the good time of the night!" Lei's face was full of smiles, "Baron Huanella will serve us personally tonight!"
Mikael: "Cain..."
"You haven't attended the bonfire party yet, have you? How about letting me find you an outfit?" Lei put his arms around Mikael's shoulders with a smile on his face.
Mikael: "Okay, put it on my account."
☆, the one-in-a-million beauty
Probably because the only king of hell failed to hear the prayer in time, until the night fell and the bonfire party was held as scheduled, there was still no drop of rain in the sky.
Ray prepared Mikael a white sleeveless gown, with a beautiful gold belt and braided ribbon, making the apprentice angel look even more dazzling than usual.Ray himself put on a high-waisted wide-sleeved jacket with striped bloomers, a purple pointed cap, a dark green bow tie, and the bell clown boots that he always wore on his feet, interpreting the outstanding two from another aspect. the meaning of the word.In contrast, Cain, who has no second clothes except for his old vest, is much simpler.He just pinned a shiny brooch on the chest of his vest to show his anticipation for the bonfire party.
The three happily headed towards the venue of the party, especially Cain, because he missed the delicious roadside stalls, and the anticipation for Baron Juanella, who has extraordinary cooking skills, is beyond words!
It wasn't too early for them to arrive.The aroma of grilled skewers can be smelled in the air from a distance, and the hot wind at night blows the sparks in the campfire into the sky, which looks like a dark red galaxy.The mercenaries gathered together in piles here and there, seemingly in harmony on the surface.
Mikael and Ray hang out for a while, Mikael's outstanding looks can attract the attention of demons everywhere.They meet Cripps, their housekeeper, who has combed his goatee into a neat bow.
"Miss Octobe's headache is getting better, I think she will come here soon. Oh, she's here!" The old butler looked in a certain direction with eyes admiring rare treasures.
Mikael was also aroused curiosity.He followed the other person's line of sight forward, and was completely shocked.
"I... my aesthetics are... very different from hell... and your aesthetics?" Mikael's lips were a little uncomfortable.Miss Octobe's shocking appearance made him suspect for the first time that the dress he was wearing might not fit well. Dressing like Ray's was the most appropriate and elegant dress in hell.
"My dear friend, believe me, I see her feeling the same way you feel seeing her." Ray's expression also went blank for a moment.
According to legend, Miss Octobe, the great beauty that even the king would fall in love with, does have snow-like skin, which is so pale that even the lime powder used to paint the walls cannot compare with it, and her lips are as red as red. Fire, but the floor area is a bit too big, as for her dull blonde hair... Ray swore not to say it was Mikael's hair, even Cain's bird feathers are thinner and more dry than this lady's yellow wax Hair looks a hundred times better!
"Hehehehe...Young people always fail to see the essence of things!" Old Cripps stroked his beard, "It is rumored that Miss Octobe's dowry is a whole box of fifth-order gems. Now you see if she is Think she's much prettier? If I'm not too old to be good enough for her... oh..." He shook his head and walked away.
"A whole box of fifth-order gems..." Lei repeated in a low voice, "I think it's fascinating to look at Miss Octobe."
Mikael suspects something is wrong with his ears.
"I want to give another box of fifth-order gems to the brave man who dares to marry her, in recognition of his bravery." Lei said with a strange expression.
Mikael wanted to laugh, but desperately held back out of a sense of justice.
"You shouldn't talk about a lady's marriage like this. If you don't consider those rumors, she's just a poor lady suffering from a headache." said the righteous trainee angel.
"Okay, okay... I just felt the shock of having a piece of my heart go out, and I think I might need to sleep next to you tonight to avoid nightmares. Let's go! See what our friend Cain told us What are you bringing!" Ray grabbed Mikael's hand and met Cain who had turned into a boy.
"Have you seen that so-and-so lady? She looks really... Hey! Why are you staring at my skewers? It's the secret Baron Huanera that I've been waiting in line for a long time. Skewers!" Cain protected the few skewers in his hands like a hen protecting a chick.
"Miss Octob's Great Wall is very pitiful, and you still cruelly mock her appearance, which makes me have to consider whether to continue to cooperate with you. Maybe earning commissions steadily is a better choice?" Lei Said with a frown.
Cain was stunned: "What did you say?"
A smile bloomed on Lei's face: "I mean, unless you give me the skewer immediately, I will report your plot to Miss Octobe. Do you know that her dowry is a A whole box of Tier [-] gems!"
"You devil! I knew it would be no good if you stared at my skewers!" Cain yelled.
"Thank you for the compliment." Ray smiled and held out his hand.
Cain thought about it, and had to accept the reality that he was bullied again.With tears in his eyes, he handed the skewers into Lei's hands, turned around and turned into a thrush and flew towards the end of the long line.
"Would you like to taste it?" Ray gave half of the skewers to Mikael, "Now I think I've calmed down a bit."
"Don't bully Cain all the time." Mikael corrected his friend earnestly.
Ray shrugged: "Either bully you or bully him."
"...Then just bully me."
"puff!!!"
The night before the rainy season is always so pleasant, everyone was satisfied at the bonfire party, except for a little fly in the ointment, such as Ray, who was promised to bully Mikael, couldn't figure out how to do it for a long time Bullying Mikael, or Cain who was in the second team but failed to get a skewer, couldn't find a way to get revenge on Lei.
In short, a better day is quietly brewing.
The next day, a whole hundred carriages set off from Huanera.Baron Juanella saw Count Octobe off in person. He kissed Miss Octobe's hand and said goodbye to them. As for whether he was regretting the departure of the whole box of fifth-order gems or Miss Octobe's If you leave, you will not know.
Most of the mercenaries rode horses provided by Count Octob, and some mercenaries who were proficient in magic sat in carriages.Cain finally didn't have to be a scout anymore, and at Mikael's insistence, he sat on Mikael's left shoulder and dozed off.A few mercenaries sent Xinniao to scout, but they soon discovered that no one in the vicinity dared to attack such a team, and even the monsters on the way forward had long since fled without a trace.So, on the third night after departure, many people drank delicious bird soup.
"I went to ask Steward Cripps today, these horses will be owned by the mercenaries after completing the escort mission!" Lei stroked the horse's mane happily. Since he had horses, his dromedary camel He threw it into the space prop.
"You seem to be too involved." Mikael frowned slightly, lowered his voice and said, "We are not here to be mercenaries. This Count Octobe always wears a strange hat to cover his face, Octobe The lady almost always has a headache. We only walk six hours a day, and the count doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get back to the estate. I always feel that something is wrong."
"Relax my friend, maybe nothing will happen. Don't forget that Cain is a stupid bird that falls off your shoulders in his sleep!"
Mikael turned his head and glanced at the thrush who was drooling, and suddenly felt that Lei's words made sense.
"But you said they hired mercenaries with fake gems." Mikael was always worried about this matter.
"Think about it, for a nobleman whose people around him were slaughtered, it would be great to escape. How could he still carry a lot of gems? Compared with kidnapping a large number of mercenaries, making fake gems is nothing event."
Mikael was silent for a moment: "If it's really just fake gems and there are no other problems, I think I will seriously complete the escort mission."
"Who said they don't have other problems?" Lei's grinning face looked very unbearable, "Their problems are coming soon!"
The team walked forward for a while, and the noisy chatter of the mercenaries suddenly subsided, and there was an unusual smell in the air, and the experienced mercenaries immediately reported to the housekeeper.The carriage stopped slowly and formed a circle. Inside the circle were mercenaries who were good at magic, and outside the circle were mercenaries who were proficient in fighting skills.
The sound of orderly footsteps is getting closer and closer, and the situation in front of them is gradually clear. It is a group of soldiers in armor. They stand in a square formation. The front row is holding a rectangular shield that is one person high, and the back is holding a spear. and soldiers with swords.
"Is it a passing army?" Some mercenaries who had seen the big scene muttered.
The intention of the opponent was obviously not good, about two thousand soldiers quickly divided into two groups, encircling Count Octob's team in the middle.
"At the command of Commander Fraser, please invite Miss Octobe to visit the Commander's Mansion!" The effect of two thousand soldiers shouting the same sentence was astonishing. Several horses stood upright in fright, and even Cain Waking up from a dream in a panic.
The mercenaries looked at each other with strange expressions.It is a secret that the whole hell knows that Commander Phras loves beautiful women, but no one thought that he would send two large groups of soldiers so far away to ask for someone.Is this also a tragedy caused by beauty?But the appearance of that Miss Octobe... I hope Commander Foras will not feel regretful and hurt his toe after seeing her!
"Are you here to look for me?" With a standard duck voice, the curtain of Earl Octobe's carriage was lifted, and Miss Octobe stepped out of the carriage with correct steps.
Mikael saw the lead officer's mouth become an O.
☆, the trap in the valley
"You are Miss Octobe? The consequences of deceiving the commander are very serious!" The officer yelled at Miss Octobe with a nearly collapsed expression.
"I am Miss Octobe! There are more than 500 people here who can testify for me." Miss Octobe rubbed her temples calmly.
"That's right, she is Miss Octobe who has a whole box of fifth-order gems in her dowry!"
"Yes, yes, the person you are looking for is her!"
"Of course this is Miss Octobe, who in all hell is more beautiful than her?"
The mercenaries testified for Miss Octobe with a lot of tongues, including many courteous words.
The officer looked sad, and now he felt that the opportunity he had worked so hard to win to please the commander was really a huge trap.Although demons are hypocritical by nature, it is rare for hundreds of people to open their eyes and tell lies like this.No wonder Miss Octobe's dowry was too rich!
The officer found to his sorrow that even he found Miss Octobe's face much more pleasing than before.
"You just said that Commander Foras invited me to meet him? Oh my God! I have never met a real commander! I heard that Commander Foras is very charming?" Miss Octobe said with surprise ask.
"No, no, no...you heard it wrong!" The officer said firmly, "The commander just asked me to escort the lady. Yes, it is an escort, not an invitation! Where are you going? Please let me escort you to your destination !” Until now, he was still lucky.What if Miss Octobe, the great beauty, is really someone and the one in front of her is just a stand-in?
"I'm going back to our territory with my father. As you can see, we hired a lot of mercenaries, so I won't bother you to escort them." Miss Octobe declined.
"No, no, no, it's not troublesome at all! It's not peaceful in this area recently, so let me escort the lady!" If you return home like this, you will definitely be reprimanded by the commander. The officer decided to stay for two more days no matter what, and find the real Mademoiselle Octobe.
In the end, under the repeated insistence of the officers, the team of 500 people suddenly increased to 500 people.The soldiers under the leadership of Frashi took on the task of opening the way, and the mercenaries readily accepted the soldiers to go with them. For them, there was nothing better than earning commissions in a safe and secure manner.
Looks like a smooth road ahead.
Mikael and Ray mixed in the mercenary team, looking like a pair of close friends who didn't care about aesthetic differences.
"Master Earl is in trouble." Lei smirked and leaned into Mikael's ear, "These escorting soldiers will definitely disrupt their plans."
"Could it be that Commander Fraser knows something? The fact that he wanted to forcibly take Miss Octobe away was to investigate the truth about the disappearance of the mercenary?" Mikael thought seriously.
Cain, who was resting on Mikael's shoulder, immediately let out a few loud laughs with his beak when he heard this, and was then flicked off by Lei with two fingers.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid Commander Foras just wants to snatch a beauty back and get closer." Lei said in a sad tone.
"Yes, the number of lovers led by this Phras is beyond counting, and the number of times he was framed by his lovers is almost beyond counting, hahahaha... How could this kind of person use such tricks?" Cain said Said and flew back to Mikael's shoulder.
Mikael frowned, worried about the chastity concept of hell creatures.
"There are soldiers here, the count can't do anything. They will definitely find a way to solve this trouble, we just need to keep our eyes open." Lei judged.
Mikael decides to be more vigilant.If all these soldiers were taken in, the situation would be too bad.
The huge team walked eastward slowly for three days, and the officers who commanded the two thousand men were almost desperate for this mission.
He had confirmed that Miss Octobe was Miss Octobe.She has neither changed her appearance nor been cursed, she has truly grown into this appearance.Now the only thing that makes people reluctant to leave is the box of fifth-tier gems.Every morning, he vacillated between going back and staying with the officer who endured Miss Octobe's gossip about him, and then firmly chose to stay another day.
Who told him that he didn't have a title, and his annual income plus extra money was nothing more than a fifth-tier inferior gem!
"There is a valley in front of it. The two ends are very narrow, and only two or three people can pass through at the same time." The letter bird brought back the news from the sky.
The officer thought about it, and planned to send a team to reconnaissance, but he happened to be caught by Miss Octobe at the moment, and when he wanted to send the order, the team had already started to walk into the valley.
Forget it, there will be no problem, there are a total of [-] strong fighters here.
The smooth journey of the previous three days made the officer put aside his vigilance about the terrain, and he explained to Miss Octobe the fact that Commander Flash had so many lovers, just when he said that Commander was not a good candidate for a fiancé , When you should carefully consider the people around you, the warning signal came.
With a crackling sound, several soldiers with blood on their faces ran back to report the news.They encountered a surprise attack, and there were not many surprise attackers, blocking the exit of the valley, throwing stones and magic from top to bottom.Because of the terrain, the soldiers were temporarily unable to break through the exit.Those seemingly chaotic spells turned out to be surprisingly easy to use, causing a large group of soldiers to fall to the ground in just a short while.A new round of magic fell to the ground, and the ground became muddy, with many forbidding black plants growing.
"It's bad! There's a huge beast behind us!" The mercenary who was supposed to be at the back of the line ran up in panic.
"Large alien beast? How could this be?" Miss Octobe turned pale all of a sudden, although her face couldn't be any whiter.
There was a terrible sound from the entrance of the valley, as if thousands of people were pounding the ground at the same time.The dust raised high completely covered the contents inside.The speed of the dust was advancing very fast, and mercenaries were drawn in from time to time, screaming shrilly.
"Let's go! Go forward!" The officer drew his sword and pointed to the exit.
The bigger the alien beast in hell, the stronger it is, and after reaching the earl level, the ability has experienced a qualitative leap.These giant hell natives have invulnerable skin, and even the magic that can work on them is very limited. Coupled with their super resilience, a strange beast is far more powerful than a demon of the same level.
Judging from the situation where the dust was rising, it might not be as simple as an earl-level beast!
The officer jumped on his horse with unprecedented vigor. In his opinion, the small group of sneak attackers in front could not be compared with the strange beast behind.
The mercenaries quickly reacted and gathered around the carriage, protecting the carriage and rushing forward.
"The road is blocked!" cried the soldiers in despair.
The raiders blocking the intersection have disappeared without a trace, but the magic they left behind has spawned many plants.In just a moment, the exit of the valley was blocked by countless black vines!
Fire magic or corrosion magic does not work on vines, but instead makes them grow thicker.Mikael wanted to fly over the plants, but Ray tugged at his arm and shook his head slightly.
"Do you think these demons have no wings? If someone is ambushing above, they will only become targets if they fly up."
"But……"
"You'll be fine."
The officer rushed to the black plant and cursed a few words.Twenty soldiers were sent up to explore the way. They spread their fleshy wings and fell down foaming at the mouth before reaching the height of the plants.
"Damn it, it's a forbidden air trap!"
Time is running out, and there is no time to find out where there are traps and where there are no traps.The officer couldn't help but wailed, he didn't want to be locked up in the valley with a strange beast at all!
"If you turn around and go back now, you may have a chance to run out of the valley." A demon wearing clown boots said beside him.
The officer felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw!
Since the beast was chasing from the direction of the entrance, it meant that the entrance might not be guarded now!Better to go around and try your luck than to die against a wall!
It is obviously impossible to go straight and pass under the nose of the alien beast. If you go around the edge of the valley, you may be overtaken by the alien beast. There is only one way left!
"Miss Octobe, you go to the left, I go to the right, and meet at the entrance!"
The officer left a word and led the people to escape close to the valley.
A box of Tier [-] gems is not as important as life. Dividing the troops into two groups has at least half the chance of escaping!
The mercenaries froze for a moment, hesitating who to go with. When they saw the dust raised by the strange beast seemed to be chasing after the soldiers in the direction of fleeing, there was nothing to stop their determination to protect their employers!
This is the beginning of a great escape!
"Will the entrance be unguarded? This looks like a trap." Mikael followed the crowd vigilantly and galloped. "Is that strange beast powerful? There is no possibility of defeating him?"
"Are you kidding me? Such a big beast looks like a marquis... Oh no, the strength of a duke!" Cain was so frightened that his hair was all put away, and he looked a whole circle smaller than usual , "The sum of all the people here is not his opponent, fighting him is equal to death!"
Mikael: "..."
"Mikael, do you want to eat grilled octopus?" Ray asked suddenly, as if he was thinking about something.
Mikael frowned slightly: "What is that?"
"It's a delicious food made by dipping fresh octopus in seasonings and grilling on an iron plate, then brushing with a little oil and turning over to continue roasting, and finally sprinkle with sesame seeds and seasonings. Grilled octopus is delicious, especially the wrist The part is simply delicious!" Lei seemed not to be affected by the tense atmosphere at the moment, and introduced how to grill octopus vividly.
"I don't want to eat now." Mikael thought for a while and said, "We must concentrate on breaking through."
"Okay, let's eat next time." Lei said with some regret.
Cain could not understand the thinking of these two people at all, the smell of the same kind frightened him, especially the dust raised up, which gave him very bad associations.
It shouldn't be coming for me... right?
Crouching on Mikael's shoulder, the brown thrush prayed silently.
☆、Rain from the sea
Finally, the mercenaries running in the front can already see the entrance of the valley!
The power of the alien beast messed up the rocks at the entrance, and there were smashed stones everywhere, but fortunately, no one was guarding it.
The mercenaries cheered and began to speed up.After discovering that there is no air-forbidden trap in this place, they can't wait to spread the fleshy wings on their backs, scrambling to escape from the cage.The demons have ferocious expressions, the spikes on their flesh wings cut through their clothes, and when they flap, they create a gust of wind. If you don't know that you are fleeing, just looking at their posture, it looks like they are charging!However, Mikael doubts whether the demon can maintain such a mental outlook when it really needs to charge.
Most of the carriages were hastily discarded at the entrance of the valley, and a few clever mercenaries lit a fire on them and released a lot of poisonous smoke.Even if the strange beast came after him at this time, it would be delayed for a while by the fire and poisonous smoke.At this moment, the mercenaries seemed to have selectively forgotten the companions they agreed to meet at the entrance.
"May the only king of hell receive their souls, and thanks to their self-sacrifice, we can escape!"
An old mercenary stood praying outside the valley, with a happy smile on his face.
The team of 500 people was reduced by more than 20 people because of this ambush, and some people were slightly injured when they pushed and squeezed each other while escaping.Most of the supplies were lost in the valley, but Miss Octobe, who was terrified, said that as long as people were fine, she didn't care about these extraneous things.
After a brief negotiation, the Steward Cripps announced a new route. They would go far away from this valley and take a long way to the next city.This result is of course in the hands of the mercenaries, they no longer have to worry about being the rations of strange beasts!
Shortly after setting off again, it suddenly began to rain.Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, making shallow pits in the dust.The dry heat in the air was expelled at once, and the road quickly became muddy with the pouring rain. The rain was so violent that people had the illusion that there were only colder and colder drops left in the world. and strong winds sweeping across the land.
The mercenaries took out their rain gear one after another.Ray found a silver cloak for Mikael to put on.This thin cloak is very waterproof, and the hood part is attached to the butterfly mask that can cover the upper half of the face. The collar is fastened with a beautiful metal buckle.
"It looks good." Lei nodded with satisfaction, "Are you sure you want to let Cain in? Birds are not afraid of rain!"
At this moment, Cain was curled up on Mikael's shoulder. He heard Ray's words and turned around, pointing his butt to his neckline.
"The wind is too strong, I'm afraid he will be blown away." The mask covered Mikael's eyes, his straight nose bridge was stained with water droplets, and his pursed lips looked more serious than usual. "Don't you wear a hat?"
Ray had a hat attached to his cloak, but he wasn't wearing it.
"Me?" Ray smiled, "I don't need shelter from the rain."
Mikael always felt that Thunder looked a little different in the rain.The hell traveler's hair was wet on his scalp, the rain even wet his eyelashes, and the rain blurred his outline, but those blue eyes seemed to be able to see through the rain, as sharp as a Sheathed sword.
It seems that something is different...
The cold rain soaked into the collar, and Mikael's back was straightened, as if it hadn't been affected in the slightest.
There was no sound of thunder in the violent wind and rain that swept across the world.The rain washed away the hot rock not long ago, and the plants with insufficient toughness were uprooted, almost hitting a mercenary in the head.The carriage became more and more difficult, leaving small streams behind the ruts.While cursing the unpredictable weather, the mercenaries rejoiced that the strange beasts probably would not be able to catch up in such heavy rain.
After more than an hour, the rain did not stop at all, but it became heavier and heavier.Compared with the raging wind and rain, the team of 500 people is just a flat boat in the sea.Mademoiselle Octobe had another headache, and the road was so difficult that they had to stop to take shelter from the rain.The mercenaries found a huge rock and rested on the leeward side.
Mikael used magic to make an awning, and many mercenaries squeezed in after seeing it.There was only the sound of chaotic rain in my ears, and the unlucky experience of this day made the mercenaries have no desire to speak.
"Is this the rainy season in hell?" Mikael, who was standing at the corner of the awning, stretched out his hand, letting the raindrops gather in his palm.
It was cold, with a biting chill.
Mikael thought of the paradise he had lived in for nearly 20 years.It is like spring all year round, and the sun is shining almost every day. Fountains, pools, and lakes of all sizes keep the air moist all the time.It rains in heaven, too, but it's a drizzle, never like this, like someone is pouring water on the ground with a bucket.
"The rainy season shouldn't be here yet." Lei caught some rainwater and sniffed it. "It smells like sea water."
"Can the rainwater float all the way from the sea to this place?" Cain, who was curled up on Mikael's shoulder, asked curiously.
Ray smiled. "Normally not. It's rain from the sea." He narrowed his eyes.
"Huh?" Mikael looked at Lei with a questioning look, "Is there any problem?"
Lei shook his head: "It's not sure yet."
"I don't know what happened to those soldiers. They are all subordinates of the demon king Bryce." Cain said with some concern.
"I can't save them." Mikael said, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.
The devil's spirit of flying separately in the face of a catastrophe was beyond his expectation. If the angel army encountered such a situation, how could they unite and advance and retreat together.Of course, this may also be because he doesn't understand the horror of alien beasts enough.Although the soldiers were the first to abandon the mercenaries, Mikael still brooded over his powerlessness.
"I hope they're okay." Cain whispered.
"They will only be a little frightened at most." Lei patted Mikael on the shoulder, "In such a heavy rain, the strange beast will find a place to hide."
Mikael was silent.Holding the sword hilt in his hand and looking straight ahead, he remembered the rocks smashed by strange beasts near the entrance of the valley.
"What kind of class is my strength?" He asked.
"Apprentice fallen angels are a little better than ordinary demons, right? Maybe you can become a baron if you work hard?" Cain bluffed.
"The strength of a person is not how sharp his sword is, but how strong his heart is." Ray looked into Mikael's eyes and said, "Every hell creature has its boundaries, but you don't. Someday you will have the ability to defeat any creature of hell, and I want to see what you can do with that power."
Mikael frowned: "It's your particularism again?"
Ray smiled: "You'd agree with me, you just haven't seen the difference in yourself yet."
"You two really have great ambitions." Cain whispered.
"I feel like I'm about to break through," Mikael said suddenly.
Apprentice angels will receive the blessing of the Creator God after they are allowed to advance, which allows their strength to increase rapidly and grow new wings.But even without the help of the Creator God, trainee angels can break through on their own after their strength reaches a certain level, but this is very rare.Ever since he came to Hell, Mikael has always felt that his strength is increasing, and the speed of growth is still gradually accelerating, and the accumulation has even made him faintly see signs of breakthrough.
"So fast? It looks like this benzo is quite useful..." Lei glanced at Cain happily.
Cain: "Huh? Does this have anything to do with me?"
"With you doing chores, Mikael can concentrate on other things." Lei said naturally.
Cain: "..."
"The rain stopped." Mikael looked at the sky with a faint smile on his face.
The heavy rain that swept everything suddenly stopped at some point, the sky returned to the gray brightness it was before, and the temperature also picked up little by little.The mercenaries stepped out of the awning one after another, stretching their limbs happily.
"On the road, on the road!" Butler Cripps greeted loudly.
Mikael carefully put away the cloak Ray had given him and returned it to his friend.He mounted the horse and shook his wings lightly. "Let's go!" Although he is not yet the opponent of the strange beast, and he is weaker than many people in hell, but one day he can catch up!
"I feel like something interesting is about to happen!" Lei smiled and got on his horse neatly.
At the same time, in a place not too far away from here, the mood of another group of people became extremely clear with the change of the weather.
In fact, the soldiers who managed to escape the valley did not have time to lament their good fortune until this time.
I didn't expect that strange beast to be afraid of water!
The strange beast was chasing after them, but the sudden heavy rain made the strange beast stop suddenly.He let out a huge roar, and the rhythm of beating the ground was so fast that it was like playing a drum kit, and even the ground shook.Finally, he finally stopped moving, and the dust in the sky disappeared under the washing of the rain, but at the same time, the figure of the strange beast could not be seen clearly.
The soldiers were terrified, they walked towards the entrance little by little, and after finding that the beast had not moved, they began to run wildly with joy.After finally running to the entrance and seeing the scattered carriages on the ground, they realized that their companions had already escaped.At this moment, all the soldiers wished they could catch all those who escaped before and throw them into the mouth of the beast!
Fortunately, both the fire and the poisonous smoke were extinguished by the heavy rain. They escaped from the valley, not even daring to breathe, and walked towards the nearest town in the rain.
Blessed by the only king of hell, they can finally escape the fate of being eaten!
When the heavy rain finally stopped and the officers began to count the casualties, they realized that a man in a black robe had already stood in front of them at some point.His robes were impeccable, a black goshawk perched on his arm, and his long blond hair was neatly combed back.The man's facial features looked mild and harmless, with a pair of small round glasses on the slightly raised bridge of the nose, and a book in his right hand.He looks like a scholar, but scholars don't appear in the wasteland so strangely.
The officer's eyes widened as he recognized the person coming.The thin and emaciated man in front of him is the most trusted think tank of the demon king Bryce. It is said that the duke whose power surpasses any duke is Agares, the duke of the swamp!
"Duke... Your Excellency Duke, why are you here?"
The blond man looked at the group of soldiers who had escaped death. "You've done a good job." He smiled and waved to the officer.
"Huh?" The officer was puzzled.
"Come with me! I have brought the king's orders, and Lord Phras
