Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 241 Disguise
"It's not easy, it's finally beaten to death." Zheng Shu reached out and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Even Zheng Shu had to admit that the enemy in front of him had frighteningly strong vitality after being strengthened, and even when he couldn't resist, he actually survived the attack of the two of them for such a long time before he died completely.

The physical recovery speed and defensive power of this ghost thing are even comparable to Zheng Shu's super-high-speed healing state.

"The upper body is a human, and the lower body is a dragon? Is there such a monster in Greek mythology?" Zheng Shu fell into thought.

The distortion produced by the guy in front of him after accepting the power of the altar is obviously a change in the body mimicry of a specific image.

Zheng Shu also really wanted to know what kind of enemy the opponent just called out the name and this physical change belonged to, but it was a pity that most of his understanding of Greek mythology was obtained from the game.Most of the characters he can know are also learned from a game of drawing cards and reading novels.

"Look at this." Vera handed over a sheepskin scroll from the side at this time, "I found it from under the altar. This thing should be the key to this guy being able to use magic power even though he is just an ordinary person."

Zheng Shu took a look at the parchment scroll, which recorded various sacrificial ceremonies.And at the end of the parchment, Zheng Shu saw information related to this ceremony.

"I checked just now, and most of the above rituals are fine, but someone tampered with the last ritual. If you follow the last ritual to pray for power, most of the power will eventually be lost. It was transported to an unknown target by the altar." Vera talked about his discovery on the side.

The traps in this ceremony are actually very obvious, and anyone who has refined the basic knowledge of magic can recognize it, but even in the Age of Gods, there are only a few people with magic knowledge.

"It seems that someone wants to use the power transmitted by this ritual to achieve what purpose?" Zheng Shu carefully checked the trap that Vera pointed out on the sheepskin scroll. His magic knowledge was too fragmented. It is still a bit difficult to identify this complicated ritual.

Vera nodded and then shook her head: "Yes... and no, the other party's actions seem a bit strange to me. In fact, if the entire sacrificial activity is carried out according to this ceremony, although most of the power will be stolen , but there will indeed be a small amount of remaining power to help the ritual builder improve his strength—that is to say, the knowledge on this scroll is not deceiving, but the 'cost-effectiveness' is too low. And this way of improving power is too It is so rude that it will even affect the sanity of the raiser, so ordinary magicians will never use such an inefficient ritual to improve their own strength."

"Because it wasn't prepared for magicians." Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be quite a few of these scrolls on the market, and the people who distribute them aren't aimed at magicians at all. , but ordinary people."

"Ordinary people? What is the use of ordinary people after obtaining these sacrificial rituals?" Vera asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's 'promotion'..." Zheng Shu's tone was a little dignified.

"Huh?!" Vera frowned suddenly.

Before Zheng Shu could ask, their conversation was interrupted by a shout from a distance: "Here!"

Accompanied by this sound, a large number of people suddenly appeared around the valley. They were wearing inconsistent attire, and their weapons looked a bit messy.Judging from the magic fluctuations they showed after revealing their figures, it should be the hidden magic of the group that was applied, so Vera and Vera didn't find their traces in the first place.

"It's Arcadia's army." Vera looked at these people vigilantly while standing in Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu blinked, and couldn't believe that the group of guys in front of him, who looked like motley troops, were actually the army of a country.

After losing the blessing of extraordinary power, the fog at the bottom of the valley is also gradually dissipating, so Zheng Shu can clearly see that some people in the distant team can't even afford to wear a set of leather armor, just wear it on their body. He put on some sackcloth and came over with something similar to a farm tool in his hand.

Of course, in addition to these villagers who could be seen as temporary signs at a glance, Zheng Shu also saw a few guys who looked pretty good at the front of the team.But even so, the difference between this team and the concept of the army in his impression is a bit too big.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zheng Shu also understood that such an army with pruned military appearance would not appear until modern times.For a long time before modern times, the so-called army was mostly farmers recruited temporarily.

Turning his head and glanced at Vera, he found that he didn't have any unexpected expressions for these troops. It seems that in this era, this kind of army should be the norm.

At this time, the "army" at the front suddenly parted from the middle to reveal a passage, and a guy who looked extremely gorgeous walked in through it.

The leather armor this person is wearing is covered with all kinds of golden decorations, and there is also a huge cloak hanging on his back. The top of the cloak is covered with various patterns drawn with golden threads, but compared to his For the gorgeous clothes, this person is a bit too thin, and from a distance, he looks like a monkey with messy objects hanging on his body.

"Are you the ones who caused this tragedy?"

Surrounded by several of his subordinates, "Monkey" swaggered in front of Zheng Shu and Vera, and stroked his hair with the hand covered with various gemstone rings.

"Monkey" first glanced at Vera's chest supported by the fruit with greedy eyes, and then turned his gaze to Zheng Shu's face, but suddenly froze for a moment.

But when facing the guy in front of him who was obviously responsible for setting the blame, Zheng Shu and Wei La didn't have much reaction, because they were already "shocked" by the other party's attire.

"Are all nobles dressed so scary?" Zheng Shu twitched his mouth as he looked at the cloak behind the other party that could be used as a quilt.Running around in the jungle with this thing, he wouldn't believe that this guy didn't suffer from any serious illness.

"No, Mr. Zheng Shu, I think your impression of nobles is a bit biased. Nobles generally don't dress themselves up like this. I think this is most likely the unique dress of Arcadia nobles." Vera, maintains her class image very seriously.

"Presumptuous!" A roar interrupted the conversation between the two, and it was the follower beside "Monkey".

Because the other party didn't show a very good attitude at the beginning, and even tended to arrest the two of them as criminals and make meritorious service, Zheng Shu and Wei La didn't intend to give him a good face.

The conversation between the two people did not deliberately lower their voices, and it could even be said that they deliberately said it to the guy in front of them.

The tall entourage took the initiative to take a step forward, staring at Zheng Shu and Vera closely: "The one in front of you is the ruler of the border town of Arcadia, the leader of the strongest army in Arcadia, and the most powerful army in the kingdom." A strong man, even a king, should respectfully be called 'commander' to adults... although he does look a bit eye-catching in his attire."

"You don't need to say the latter sentence!" The short commander kicked the tall entourage in front of him aside, his face full of frustration.

It's a pity that after the interruption of this "loyal" follower, the power he created earlier completely disappeared. Of course, Zheng Shu and Vera didn't feel any momentum, but the commander still felt very embarrassed.

"Ahem, all in all, where is the guy who caused such a big incident and even affected my sleep? If you can't tell, you can replace that guy and sit in the prison!" The commander coughed awkwardly Twice trying to save a little dignity.

It's a pity that his short body made his movements look more like a monkey, without any momentum at all.

"Master Commander, the person lying under the feet of these two people should be the culprit this time. I saw the battle between them during the investigation just now." He suddenly stepped forward, "whispering" to tell his leader the information.

The commander who was slapped in the face again turned black, kicked the short and fat follower away, and made him lie on the ground with his buttocks up to accompany the tall follower just now:

"Damn it! Are there any bastards like you who serve as followers? Believe it or not, I will kill you when I go back!!!"

After a while of jumping around, the commander turned his head to look at Zheng Shu and the two suddenly fell silent. After a while, he coughed and took out a bag of coins from himself, with a flattering smile on his face :

"I'm really sorry, two heroes, I didn't expect you to see such a disrespectful scene, but you can rest assured that the kingdom will pay the bonus for this crusade, and it will definitely satisfy you so that you don't let you do it for nothing. This is my own A little thought, you take it first!"

Seeing the other party's rapid change of attitude, Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and exchanged a glance with Vera. Zheng Shu took the initiative to take the money bag: "No need, this reward is enough."

After all, without giving the leader a chance to speak, Zheng Shu and Vera left here.

Seeing the figures of the two leaving, the originally flattering commander suddenly became serious, and his whole body no longer exudes a funny atmosphere like before, and his seemingly thin body actually reveals an inexplicable Majesty.

"grown ups."

A respectful voice came from behind, and the two attendants who had been kicked down by him just now stood behind him at some point.

"Well, you've done a good job." The leader nodded, and his tone was not as casual as before.

"Our honor!" The two followers lowered their heads a little more when they heard their master say this.

As followers, they naturally couldn't face their masters as casually as they showed just now. In this world, there is no such thing as human rights. Most city-states in ancient Greece even followed slavery.If someone really dared to make such complaints about his immediate boss, he might move his head if he was not careful.

The reason why they behaved like that just now was entirely because they saw the hand signal from their master behind their backs.

"My lord...is it really necessary to do this? They are just two people." The tall follower hesitated for a while, and finally asked the question in his heart.

In fact, it wasn't just him. Behind him, the people in the army also looked at their commander suspiciously.

After so many years, they are quite clear about their boss's temper.Don't talk about mocking his boss like those two people just now, sometimes he might even be beaten just because his gaze made him feel uncomfortable.

Hearing what he said, the corner of the commander's mouth twitched: "It depends on who I am facing if I have a bad temper. The woman next to me is okay to say, but the man's strength is a bit ridiculous. In a one-on-one situation I'm not even sure that I can take him down. In a real fight, even if we can kill him in the end, there won't be too many people in the entire army who can survive except me."

Hearing what his boss said, all the people around him widened their eyes in surprise.

Although they are quite proud, they also know that their boss basically can't lie, which means that the man just now has the strength to fight against the army on his own.

"By the way, did you see that man's appearance just now?" The commander seemed to have remembered something, and turned to look at his tall follower.

The follower was taken aback by this question, but still answered very honestly: "Yes, I saw it."

"Then what do you think he looks like?"

"Uh... Which man are you talking about?" The attendant seemed a little hesitant.

"Huh?! What the hell kind of problem is this? Wasn't the only one of those two people just now a man?" The commander was a little surprised when he heard this, wondering if he kicked his head too hard just now and broke his head.

The tall follower hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell his boss the truth: "Well... Actually, the two people just now were men. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

The leader turned his head to look at another short and fat follower, and seeing that he also nodded, his expression collapsed: "What?! That guy is actually a man?! Are young people nowadays so flamboyant?! So you say that? My first love ended before it even started... Wait, it seems that men can do it too."

The two attendants looked at each other helplessly. In order to prevent his boss from exhausting the little majesty left, the tall one could only cough, pretending not to have seen this scene and continue to answer the question just now:

"If you're talking about the guy with the iron rod, I did see what he looked like. He looked fairer to me, but he was very ordinary-looking."

"That's it..." After adjusting his mood, the leader thought about the information provided by his entourage just now, "Then what is the situation with that guy just now? A curse? Or a blessing?"

"Do you need me to continue to follow them?" Seeing that his master was lost in thought, the chunky follower took the initiative to take a step forward to propose.

"Well...forget it! Those two guys don't look like they are going to stay in this country for a long time, so don't worry about them." The commander finally denied the decision, and turned to face the person who had come just now with his cloak lifted. Walking in the direction, "Let's go back to the city!"

"Yes!"

The two attendants bowed respectfully towards the commander and followed him away, while the other soldiers on the heights also left in an orderly manner after receiving the order.

The unusually heavy cloak behind the commander was filled with light, and a lot of magic power was withdrawn from the surrounding troops into the cloak.

And as the magic blessing on the entire army failed, these soldiers who looked like ordinary villagers also showed their true appearance.

Each of them is wearing a set of armor that looks unusually heavy, and the silver-white armor is shining with magical light, and the aura emitted by each of them is not inferior to that of low-level heroes.

Uniform armor and weapons, coupled with an orderly marching posture even in the jungle, even if you just look at it, you can tell that this army reveals an "elite" atmosphere from top to bottom .

This is what the strongest army in Arcadia really looks like.
