The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 87: Night encounter

Chapter 0087 夜 遇

Li Xun, who had rested for a night, re-energized himself.

After disposing of the sundries around him at an extremely fast speed, and greeted the Skeleton King, and giving instructions to the ghost, Li Xun embarked on a journey one by one.

It is said that horseback riding is still Li Xun's weakness. For this reason, Li Xun held a horse head and talked with him. Of course, the talk is only for outsiders. The real situation is that Li Xun suppressed the horse's consciousness with his soul. This effect is far more stable than the animal dominated by magic.

Due to the mental imprint left in the horse's consciousness, Li Xun riding on the horse does not need to direct, and the horse can follow his wishes. Of course, this method can only target domesticated animals, but the wild beasts that eat meat and drink in the mountain forest can not eat this set.

In the past, when we walked in various places, we used horse-drawn carriages, and there were people waiting to guide the way, so there was no problem of getting lost. However, this time only Li Xun was riding alone, and it was a bit big to run down the road. Either the course was deviated, or the itinerary was miscalculated and the boarding point was missed, and had to sleep in the wilderness.

On the fourth day after departure, it was already dark, and Li Xun stopped by a wood before discovering his tragedy. Just before Ma Kuai, I saw a small town one hour ago and didn't go in for a rest. Who wanted to go so fast in the dark, immediately fell into a dilemma. If you remember correctly, there seems to be 40 miles in the next town, saying you have to sleep.

Finding a leeway in the woodland, clearing the litter on the ground, this raised the fire. From June to June, the sky was getting hotter, and the night breeze passed through the forest, bringing the unique freshness of the trees, which made people feel refreshed. There is no big beast in the woodland right next to Shanglu. Li Xun extinguished his hunting thoughts, took out the prepared earthenware bread and bacon, and prepared to stew a pot to solve the greed.

When the fire was about to pick up, an alarm came from the periphery. Li Xun turned his head and instantly saw the person coming through the eyes of the woodland licking eater.

It was also a solo ride, and Xu was seeing the fire blazing through the woodland and was turning his horse head towards it. The light was dim, and it could barely be seen that there was a complete set of armor. The shield placed next to the saddle was a little strange. For some reason, I saw this person's Li Xun's heart inexplicably born with a sense of disgust.

This disgusting feeling was inexplicably strange. Li Xun, who had never had such an experience, was so surprised that the comer jumped off the horse outside the forest and woke up when he led the horse into the fire.

At first glance it was a knight, but it was different from the knight Li Xun had seen before. Through the campfire Li Xun saw the knight's appearance clearly, the plain scabbard, the worn saddle, the aged warhorse, and the old armor. On the armor, Li Xun found a church badge. It should be a balanced scale on the Warhammer, with a blue shield as the background. Li Xun's knowledge immediately made him understand that this is a church knight, the church knight of the **** of justice Tyre.

In the hinterland of the Principality, seeing a free-running church knight is something that had never been possible before, but now it happened in front of me. Has the Principality's attitude towards the church changed?

"Hello, young man, can a tired traveler stay here for a while?" The middle-aged knight asked politely, showing a gentle smile.

Li Xun, wrapped in a traveler's cloak, did not wear a black mage robe, but a simple aristocratic hunter's outfit. The young face confuses the visitor. Although he feels the fluctuation of mana on Li Xun's body, he only regards him as Appreciated by the Master Apprentice.

"Please sit down, Mr. Knight. The encounter on the journey only shows that we are destined, and the broth will be ready soon."

"Thank you for your generosity, God will bless you!" A surprise flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged knight. After placing the horse, he strode to the campfire and sat across from the young man.

With one more person, Li Xun could only take out an extra set of tableware from the dimension bag. This move made the opposite knight stunned. He did not expect that the other side was actually a formal mage.

"Sorry Master, I'm sorry, I was a little rude now!" The knight hurriedly saluted again, and only then took over the tableware from the master.

After eating dinner quietly, after packing up the things, the two people who met by chance started to talk.

It turned out that the middle-aged knight Antofis was a church knight belonging to the **** of justice Tyre. He had just participated in the war against the undead a few months ago, and now he was ordered to go to the temple of the port of Ancona. It is said that the Principality of Novis has deliberately liberalized the strength of the church, and many church knights have been transferred to fill the existing three temples in the Principality.

In the past, the Principality of Novis had always resisted the mages ’guilds and churches, allowing activities in only a few specific cities, and strictly restricting staff quotas. Judging from the current situation, there is a clear tendency for high-level principalities in the Principality to fall back to the church. It seems that the ambiguity of the Master Guild and the Undead has caused a bounce back from the world. I do n’t know if the Master Guild can see this.

Maybe the Mages Guild has already seen it, just disdain it! Li Xun speculated secretly.

For Li Xun's self-proclaimed free mage, the Antofis knight relaxed a lot, at least much better than meeting the mage directly under the mage guild. The mutual hostility between the Mages' Guild and the church is only of a regional nature, and it is difficult for each other to enter the other's dominant territory, but both sides are still very restrained in the undetermined field and the neutral field.

When asked clearly, they both went to the port of Ancona, and they had to get along for many days, and the two quickly got together. Li Xun's gentleness and frugality also brought a lot of goodwill to the Cavaliers. Both sides avoided the very taboo topic, but only to say something about the road, the hometown style, but also very harmonious.

Looking around the dark trees around, the Antofis knight is very serious to admonish the young mage, there is unclean spirit around this, be careful at night. Li Xun also instantly understood why he felt disgusted when he first saw the knight.

Energy conflict!

That is the instinct repulsion of positive energy and negative energy!

The Nadir template of the body is more reflected in the soul. Li Xun did not simply take the road of the Necromancer, and focused more on the cultivation of the Orthodox Master, and he was rarely in the cemetery castle. Staying for a long time, so the breath of death and decay is almost nothing, but the guards placed on the periphery are likely to give the knight on the opposite side a sensation.

Li Xun's thought moved, and many of the cemetery's men immediately withdrew silently to a farther distance.

Today's encounter with the church knight Antofis, let Li Xun soothe tension for many days. Since listening to Casas mentioning that prophecy that day, Li Xun has always been in a vague state of anxiety and irritability, feeling like a prey in a snare net, being able to detect the existence and proximity of a hunter, but unable to find a hunter Is always in a dangerous situation. Whether or not you can hide yourself in the crowd has been verified today. The source of strength will not be seen through at a glance, and you will be given the opportunity to work around. Many things in the prophetic poem can be planted on the Undead Council, and you need to be more cautious in your future actions.

With a strange mind, Li Xun greeted and got into a deep tent into a deep sleep. Antofis picked up the sword shield and walked around the camp, no longer aware of the smell from his heart, and then returned to remove the thick blanket from the saddle and recline The big tree is sleeping.

Early in the morning, the chirping bird awakened Antofis. Wiped off the condensation on the face, stood up and moved the lower body, wearing armor to sleep, but it was a matter of suffering. If it was not the vague restlessness of last night, I would not secretly alert for one night, when it was dawn. Before going to sleep.

On the right side of the campsite, there was a sound of broken branches being crushed, and the footsteps were approaching. The young mage turned his arms out from behind the tree. He saw the knight smiled, nodded and said hello.

Antofis, who stood by the horse, moved his hand away from the scabbard, and returned politely. The two took out the bread, rekindled the fire, and when it was soft, the warm half-glass of wine ended the breakfast.

After sorting out the items, the two went on horseback together. This was the first time the knight came to the Principality of Novos. The responsibility of leading the road fell to the mage's head. Fortunately, the Principality has carried out simple renovations on the main trade routes, and it is not wrong to walk along such a avenue.

After 4 hours, Li Xunle stopped the horse and looked at the gradually desolate road in front of him. Right? I want to go, but the biggest business road in the north, how could it be so quiet?

The loess road at the foot stretches forward to the distant hills, on the left is a sparse shrubbery, on the right is an endless wild grassland. It doesn't look like a business road for business travelers all year round.

Could it be that they went in the wrong direction just after crossing the bridge?

Li Xun scratched his chin thinking uncertainly, and was stopped by Antofis behind.

The Antofis Knight looked sideways and looked very cautiously: "There is a shout in front! It doesn't seem right."

Li Xun picked up his spirits and listened quietly. Sure enough, there was a shout and a collision of swordsmen in the direction of the distant hills. Li Xun immediately came in spirit, shaking the horse rein, yelling: "Go, go and see."

Li Xun rushed out first, and the Knight of Antofis bowed his head to sort out the weapons and shields on his lower body, and quickly followed.

Turning over the hills, turning over a large slope, all kinds of people shouted Ma Si, the sound of the sword hit immediately, a faint **** gas accompanied by helpless shouting, crying and hovering in mid-air.

"Rogue!" Li Xun frowned.

The battle is coming to an end. The robbery caravan is about a hundred people, seven or eight cars, surrounded by a simple car array, hiding in the corner and stubbornly resisting. However, there are no crossbows and arrows, and there are few bows and arrows. The means of attack are poor. Relying on the spear threatened the thieves not to get close. Although there are only seventy or eighty thieves combined, the attack power is much stronger. More than a dozen horse thieves screamed and circulated outside the car array. The spears of his spears and horses left. Most of the rest had bows and arrows. Looking at the figure inside was a random shot. The suppressed caravan guards did not dare to show their heads. From time to time, people heard the pain of eating arrows.

A group of more than a dozen thieves riding horses outside the battlefield 50 steps away did not participate in the attack. They gathered and pointed at the car array. They seemed to be the leader of the thief.

If there is no accident, this caravan will soon be eaten by the thieves, not to get all the goods greedy, attacking the team with fire has long collapsed.
