Chapter 82: . Sean Trouble
The lead-gray cloud curtain hangs down, smearing the world with an extremely thick gray. It’s not dark clouds, no lightning and thunder, but it’s just a stupefying feeling of heavy pressure. It seems that this world is about to collapse soon, especially when Sean is walking on the way up the mountain, slowly raising his head. Seeing, there is a strange illusion of being very close to this day.
This is an unnamed cliff, located in the territory of Sode. Sean vaguely remembers standing on the top of the cliff, and he can see two-thirds of the landform of Sode. Of course, for a mountainous and forested territory, this kind of cliff is actually of little practical value.
Of course, the most interesting thing is that the uphill road of this mountain is in the territory of Tindes, but the stretch of cliff faces Soder. Therefore, if Earl Thord rushed to send troops to the mountain to build surveillance fortifications, it would very much trigger a dispute between Cheng and Marquis of Tindes-no nobleman on the ground would allow other noblemen’s armies to operate on their own territory, because this is simply one thing. Kind of insult.
But Perot, Marquis of Tindes, because the location of this mountain is too remote, the logistics line can not be stretched so long, if the military force is really invested here, the cost is not a small amount. So the two lords had a very tacit understanding with each other, and no one had any opinions or opinions on this cliff. It seemed that there was no such cliff at all, so this was the lone grave erected by Yoda here.
The road up the mountain was very smooth, and did not encounter the monster that Sean had been on guard.
If it were changed two months ago, Sean might think it was a bug or something else, and then he would be happy to take things and leave, and would not think about other things at all. But this time is different. Even if he is already standing in front of the solitary grave at this moment, Xiao En still maintains sufficient vigilance, because he knows that the monster is not a safe thing, and its natural wandering characteristics make it very It is difficult to wait in one place calmly. After all, this is not a game, and there is no program restriction.
Even monsters need to eat, build nests and live.
Xiao En's gaze fell on the tombstone of the solitary grave, with "Faith and Promise" written in the middle of it. There was no name of the person who placed the tomb, nor the name of the person who dropped the stone. It looked like an anonymous tomb. However, if you observe carefully, you can find that the stone of the tombstone is the same as the stone of the house where Master Yoda lives, and the carving method used for the text on the tombstone is not chiseling, but similar to a kind of magic. Engraved inlays and traces.
After contacting Master Yoda’s identity and profession, as well as the purpose of bringing Sean here, it is natural to know who carved this tombstone.
Sean half-kneeled in front of the tomb, closed his eyes and whispered something.
The breeze was light, like a naughty elf, raising the corners of Sean's clothes, pulling his hair slightly, and continuing forward with a smile, running from the edge of the mountain toward the sky, as if to plunge into the arms of the low gray cloud.
After a long time, Xiao En stood up, walked behind the tombstone, and gently tapped the mud and rocks on the ground with the scabbard. After a short while, Sean found what he wanted-it was a piece of mud that was not very thick. After using a scabbard to poke the sand on it, he could see a cloth tightly clothed in white. Small package, this package is what Sean is looking for during this trip.
In this lone grave, it is not people who are buried, but Yoda’s past faith and the promise of his last disciple.
That talented and intelligent disciple, who should be regarded as senior Shawn in name, once promised Yoda that he would come back a year later, re-excavate the faith that was buried by Yoda, and then fulfill his promise. , Inherit everything from Yoda. However, according to the exquisite party digs in the game, this extremely talented person has been breaking his promise for ten years, until the first expansion update later, when Yoda died, he never came back.
Gently sweeping away the sand and stones wrapped in his hands, Xiao En's brows slightly frowned, this time he was really puzzled. If he didn’t meet the monster when he went up the mountain, then when he kneeled in front of the tombstone just now, when he pretended to pray and dig out this package, it was the best time to sneak attack. According to Sean’s understanding of the monster’s character, It is absolutely impossible for the other party to miss such a good opportunity, but why is there no response this time?
glanced at the surrounding situation again. After Sean was sure that this was not the conspiracy of the monster, he walked towards the way he came, but his inner vigilance was still maintained, and he did not dare to relax at all. But until Sean returned to the foot of the mountain, he didn't see the monster. This made Sean feel puzzled. Is it really lucky that he didn't see the monster?
But I don’t know why, the feeling of being stared at Sean has not changed at all, as if his every move is being monitored by others. And this feeling is much stronger than when he went up the mountain. It seems that an unknown enemy is lurking in the dark, ready to give himself a fatal blow. What’s more terrifying is that Sean can even feel that the other party It seems that he has become more and more irritable, and his patience seems to be worn out.
But even so, Sean has no idea where the enemy is. Of course, Sean will not blindly mess around if he can't find the enemy. So still with sufficient vigilance and guard, Sean didn't continue to waste time here, and directly embarked on the way back. He needs to send this package back to Yoda in order to complete his transfer.
Just when Sean was gradually disappearing at one end of the horizon, when he was standing on the rocky place just now when he went down the mountain, the air suddenly had an irregular flow.
When this abnormal flow of air gradually faded, a kobold man wearing leather armor was finally exposed to the air.
It holds two jagged daggers in both hands. The body of the dagger is dark black, and it is not obvious whether it is poisonous, but it is certain that the two daggers are absolutely matte. The leather armor worn by this kobold is also black leather armor coated with matte materials. Judging from these surface features, the kobold's profession is clearly a thief who prefers assassination techniques.
It’s just that the size of this kobold is slightly different than that of the average kobold. First of all, the first point is that this kobold has a much stronger body. Its height is more than 1.5 meters, which is definitely tall enough among kobolds, and its body shape is also better than normal. The kobold is a big circle; the second point is that the skin on the kobold is actually dark red with some extremely unique purple-red texture; the third and most important point is that the kobold's head There are no horns, but a pair of pointed horns with hooks, which look a bit like the horns of a little devil.
At this moment, once the figure of this kobold is revealed, it also exudes a strong **** aura, and from its scarlet eyes and the white mist that is constantly spitting out, it is obvious that this kobold has just experienced After a **** killing, its mood has not yet completely calmed down. If Sean could see the kobold, he would know why the monster on the cliff hadn't come to trouble him.
In the same way, he will know what exactly is staring at him.
It’s a pity that Sean could not see the appearance of this somewhat special kobold.
The kobold stared in the direction where Sean was leaving, and made a few small and hoarse dog barks, seeming to be muttering something, then shook his head and tail, and stepped to catch up. Its duty is to find a way to solve Sean. Of course, it is limited by his own profession. This kobold really wants to have a clean assassination, but he hasn't found a chance at all these days.
As Sean felt, the patience of this kobold was about to be completely wiped out.
The way back is as calm as when it came.
Shaun set off at dawn and returned to Yoda’s house, just in the middle of the night.
Yoda was not too surprised that Sean took only a day to go back and forth. According to what he knew about Sean, he should actually be back around this time. But when he saw Sean, Yoda still sighed, with a look of regret in his eyes: "It looks like you didn't meet that guy."
For a strong man like Yoda, you can know if Sean has ever had a fight at a glance. Judging from Yoda’s words, it’s obvious that he knew that there was a monster on the cliff, and maybe he kept it there to guard the lone grave. It should have been some kind of test or test. En unexpectedly didn't start a fight with that monster, Yoda naturally felt a bit pity, because then he couldn't really understand Sean's strength.
But when he thinks of Shaun’s performance yesterday, Yoda doesn’t really care that much.
It was just that suddenly, Yoda turned his head and looked in the direction when Sean came, as if suddenly sensed something, a sharpness that was completely incompatible with his age flashed in his cloudy eyes. But at such a moment, Sean suddenly felt the tension of being stared at suddenly disappear. In contrast to Yoda's reaction, Sean knew what was going on even if he was an idiot.
"It seems that you are being targeted by something unclean." Yoda said softly, but his tone was contemptuous, "Well, since you haven't met that guy, you can take this Things that follow you are considered an exercise."
While saying this, Yoda opened the package in his hand. Inside was a beautifully crafted wooden box-the box exuded a faint scent. It seems that it is precisely because of this scent that the wooden box is not buried in the soil. Will rot. Throwing away the cloth in his hand at will, Yoda opened the box again, and inside was a slightly worn notebook.
"This is my previous manuscript about my swordsmanship and some magical experience." Yoda handed the notebook in his hand to Sean, but the box was not given to him. "I have said it before, I have I’m old, so I can’t point you, so you can read this manuscript and study it all by yourself.” With that, Yoda glanced at the dark night again: “Just take this notebook and go home with you this night. The thieves who want to assassinate you have no chance to exercise you more than this....If you are alive, then you will gain something from reading this manuscript when you go back. If you die..."
"Then I will collect the corpse for you. The lone grave on the cliff can just put a real corpse in....May the magic be with you."
Then, Yoda closed the door directly in front of Sean. He didn't even have the mood to let him stay overnight or have a dinner, leaving only Sean standing outside the door stupidly.
