Chapter 23: Escape to Phoenix
[The last update of yesterday passed, not today's one, there is another update tonight. Thank you everyone, I'm very pleased to continue asking for recommendations]
Salin didn't say much, he turned around and left with Neris and Shika, not lingering for a moment.
Picasso looked at Salin's back and felt a little curious about the young magician. However, the young magician did not lie. Cossian was not killed by him.
So what if he did it? Cossian was not the direct descendant of Lord Falka, and he changed his course of progress privately, and was still alive. Picasso sneered gently and rushed towards the direction Canghong left. It didn't matter whether the two mercenaries were killed or not. Since they got the map, it was still necessary to find the entrance to the ruins immediately.
Salin and others walked faster than ten miles before slowing down slightly.
"Captain, that guy won't go back on his word, right?" Sika kept holding her huge stick and ready to fight at any time. She was a priest who did not believe in the Holy See. In the Caucasus region, the Holy See spent a lot of manpower and material resources to penetrate every year, and many villages were corrupted and gave up their belief in nature.
With more preachers, it is inevitable that the quality is different, and any means can be used. Therefore, the orthodox Caucasians and magicians are simply incompatible with the magicians.
"I don't know, it's not, it's true. We're too small." Salin's hand was kept in his sleeve, holding his family badge tightly in his hand. This was the only weapon he could cause damage to the deacon, but unfortunately he had to stick it on and use it. Salin was not sure at all, and his hands were covered with sweat.
"It's a pity that the Warcraft Soul was killed, otherwise I could control a few low-level Warcraft to use to rush the road." Xika was a little depressed. She was too weak to help Salin. Her two eyebrows, which were as clear as a knife, looked depressed.
"Don't be sad, Shika, I will help you find a new Warcraft Soul. I wrote down the map of the White Deacon, and from here to the Principal of Phoenix, there is still more than 500 miles away, which is the narrowest area of the entire chaotic swamp."
Shika shook her head blankly. She was a real road nerd. Salin said that these were useless.
"Owner……"
"What's the matter!" Salin's voice was a little stern. The little demon thief was undead, so it was difficult for him to have any good face.
"Do you want to hurry up?"
"Yes, how about it?"
"I can run with you on my back. As long as your woman can keep up, it will be about four times faster than now." Nelise looked pitiful, and Salin suddenly felt unbearable.
I took advantage of the danger of being a human being to subdue the little demon, and no one would be willing to do so. It is because of the nature of the demon, and I seem to be better for Neris.
Salin thought so, not because Nalis was beautiful. He had seen Nalis's original body. That image... would make many people have nightmares. Moreover, Nalis is not even apart from male and female. Even if Salin has a shocking appetite, he will not have any fantasies about her. What's more, it is difficult for Salin to burst into any youthful feelings while running away.
He looked at his pet purely with the attitude of a magician, which was influenced by Jason Statham. Although the master and apprentice did not communicate much, Salin remembered every word of Jason's words in his heart.
Don't have feelings for your pet, it will kill you.
Nelise finally carried Salin on her back. She was much taller than Salin and she was not at all difficult to carry a living person. The three of them (? They will often call them like this in the future, and will not explain them one by one, which will affect the pleasure of reading) immediately accelerated and fled towards the Principality of Phoenix.
The night of the chaotic swamp fell, and Neris had a stronger sense of danger than Shika, and he carefully avoided the dangerous night predator along the way. Neris' long black hair was blown up by the wind and brushed against Salin's face.
Black hair is as silk, and heart is as numb as numb.
After all, she was still a trivial little person. When Salin and Shika said this, they didn't feel anything. But Nelise carried him on his back and ran to escape, which touched Salin's sensitive heart.
You must become a strong man, a strong man like a teacher. Salin thought like this, leaned his head on Neris' shoulders, tightened his body, and felt that he was still the beggar who shivered in the rain, and tears flowed down for a moment.
The master cried? Neris was a little excited. Unlike human beings who fantasize, demons never want their master to be powerful. It is best for humans to be as weak as ants. This is the resentment of many plane creatures, including demons.
"Master, I will protect you." Nelise said softly, his steps becoming lighter.
Naris' voice had a magical power. Salin calmed down and fell asleep behind Naris's back. During this period, he had been trying to control the whole situation and control Canghong's team. When others were resting, he had to be responsible for safety, and when others were fighting, he had to deal with the most dangerous enemies.
No matter how powerful a person is, he will be exhausted, not to mention Salin, a small first-level magician. If it weren't for the magical training method of badges, Salin would have collapsed long ago.
Sika gritted her teeth and followed Neris. The little devil seemed to know Sika's physical limits, and she was always one point faster than Sika, which forced her to try to catch up. Sweat also accumulated in the leather armor with excellent breathability. Sika felt that it was very uncomfortable not to take a shower for the first time.
The run lasted a day and a night, and when Shika was about to collapse to the ground, Neris stopped because Salin had woken up.
"Nelise, rest, Shika can't hold on."
Sika knelt on the ground and gasped desperately. When she was in her hometown, she never felt that running was so hard. In order to chase her prey, the Caucasians would not rest for dozens of hours and kept chasing her prey to exhaustion. In this way, the wild beasts that were more powerful than humans could collapse.
But the little devil ran too fast. Xika estimated that at this speed, except for the monsters flying in the sky, no creature on the ground could last for so long. Xika didn't say a word, took off her boots, pillowed under her head, and fell asleep in a few seconds.
"Nelise, how far have we run?" Salin's Gumeiers became more and more proficient in his language, and he was too lazy to urge the little demon to learn a common term. Anyway, the days are still long, and it seems that he is far away from danger.
"It's almost 500 miles, and we can leave the swamp tomorrow dawn."
"So fast?" Salin was a little surprised.
"Well." Neris didn't continue to take Salin's words. She remembered that when she was in her hometown, she was mostly prey and was often chased by powerful demons. She seemed to be running faster at that time, right?
Seeing that Neris didn't want to speak, Salin had to come to Shika and sit down. He had enough sleep, so he simply used this time to count the items.
A green dragon's magic core is to be sent to Kushui County. A set of blank magicians, which will be kept for your own use in the future. The rest are all gems and ores. Salin reexamines his harvest. All gems are primitive and have not been cut. Many gems are still covered with raw ore.
"Nelise, are you tired?" Salin asked with concern.
"Not tired, master."
"Okay, you can get rid of the mineral layer outside these gems, and I want the purest part inside." Salin looked at Naris' snow-white teeth and smiled. In the future, he could at least save money on handling gems. It is said that cutting raw ore is a very expensive service and must be available in big cities.
Only then did Nelis realize that Salin was not caring about her body. She sighed, sat beside Salin, and began to use her teeth to deal with gems. As a demon, we should not be asking for anything. Humans are selfish and greedy.
The smallest gems are as big as Sicka's fist. After processing, the volume is slightly reduced. Salin puts the treated gems into the ring of gifts, and the pieces bitten by Neris sweep into the skin. These gems are not pure in texture, but for ordinary magicians, they are also something they dream of.
"Master, I'm hungry." Seeing Surrey carefully wiping the gems, Neris put them away one by one, she felt a little resentful and wanted to passively slacking off.
"I didn't even eat, why are you quarreling? Let's talk about it when I arrived at the Principality of Phoenix." Salin's stomach also roared. He threw all the dry food he had with him in the temple, and all the space that could hold items was filled with gems.
Nelis was crying and continued to process the gems with scattered Salin, regardless of Salin's worries.
Salin was indeed a little worried. Although Sika was beautiful, she was a carefree Caucasian warrior. Few people would have any thoughts. This little devil turned into the appearance of Goddess Meles, and she was born with a charm. Such an image would cause a lot of trouble in the future. But she herself was happy to cause trouble.
"Nairis..."
"Owner?"
"Stay working, just listen to me."
Crack, Crack!
"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Salin was a little discouraged. He had no idea how to teach a demon.
Crack, Crack...
Sika had a beautiful dream. She dreamed that her war spirit was resurrected. In the dream, she waved her stick and beat the lackeys who were chasing her. In her sleep, Sika smiled foolishly.
Huh, haha... I'll let you run away and die!
Salin's expression became more and more worried. He showed the left hand hidden in his sleeves, and his shriveled left hand looked like the limbs of an undead creature. He carefully used a first-level magic - the water of repair. Salin patiently used it to moisturize the injured muscles.
The purpose of getting rich has been achieved, but my strength has temporarily decreased a lot. Before my left hand recovered, I could not continue to learn second-level magic. In other words, even if I advanced, I could not practice daily.
A new magic begins with the stage of chanting mantras with both hands and reciting mantras on the mouth before it can be gradually mastered. Salin gently hooked the index finger of his left hand, and the index finger slowly bent. Although it did not completely necrotic, it may take more than half a year to recover.
It seems that going to Kushui County to surrender to the princess is also a good choice. Hiding in the noble family, at least you won’t often face all kinds of unnecessary troubles. Salin is rich now and doesn’t need to take risks everywhere.
Chapter completed!
