Chapter 61 Semer's Premonition
This kid named Baier died quickly, his body was completely blackened, his eyes were wide when he died, his eyes were hollow, and his fingers were still holding a posture of grabbing hard upwards...
He died a miserable death, a big hole in his forehead, in Du Wei's opinion, that hole seemed to be corroded with the strongest sulfuric acid! The piece of flesh on his forehead, as well as the skull bone inside, were all melted into a hole! The brain pulp inside is all drained ...
The land in this place was too hard to dig a pit and bury it, and everyone had no choice but to throw the body of this kid into the lake.
"This reckless brat..." Baiinrich violently broke a branch and threw it into the fire, with a sad look on his face: "He is the guy I recruited in Fick City, he was originally an excellent hunter." The arrow technique is very good, and I have also pointed him out martial arts... He just wanted to catch a few fish for everyone..."
Du Wei didn't speak.
Baiinrich shook his head: "He forgot, this is a damn frozen forest!" There are no ordinary beasts here! It's all Warcraft! Even the fish in the lake are just as dangerous! This stupid guy! Bastard! A sucker! Idiot! Be... It was my fault! I should have reminded him earlier, he was here for the first time!
Du Wei didn't know how to comfort the self-reproaching regiment leader, he thought for a while, patted the regiment commander on the shoulder, and then said what the regiment leader said during the day:
"This is the adventure life! Someone comes, someone goes! Someone is dead, someone is alive! Beinrich
quickly returned to normalcy, he was the regiment commander, and a whole hundred people were watching him!
He threw away the branch in his hand, then stood up and went to inspect viciously, while shouting loudly: "Let me stay away from the lake!" Mongrels! Who dares to get close to the lake again, I break his leg!!
This episode did not add much burden to everyone ... Those old mercenaries were used to seeing life and death, and for them, the most they could say was: "Oh, that kid is so unfortunate."
At dinner, the eight-fingered Striel returned with the patrol, his face a little gloomy, as if he had discovered something. However, this cautious guy did not alarm everyone, but quietly walked to Beinrich's side.
"Commander, I found something."
The archer took out a burnt branch from his arms and handed it to the regiment commander.
It was apparently split into a branch used as firewood and burned, but it was not completely burned, and there were obvious marks of splitting on the incision.
"It seems that there are our counterparts nearby." Strier whispered, "I found a place where there were buried fires in the snow, but they didn't bury them deeply. I looked at it, there were about four or five piles, and according to this judgment, there were probably more than thirty people on the other side. A
flash of essence flashed in Baiinrich's eyes: "More than thirty? Can you be sure?
"More than thirty at most, no more than forty." I'm sure! Strier replied in the affirmative: "Judging by the color of the ashes of the fire, they have not been gone for long, and they should not be too far away from us." And..."
Strilton paused for a moment, grinned, and whispered: "Judging by the traces I left behind by their camp, these guys 'packed a lot' and brought a lot of things!"
Bayinrich trusted his men, and although he only had eight fingers, his archery skills were superb, and he was cautious, observant, and rarely made mistakes.
A quirky smile appeared on Baiinrich's face... A little gloomy: "Oh, in that case, are we going to 'contact' with these peers?"
Du Wei didn't quite understand the regiment leader's words, but the face of Dardanelle next to him was a little unnatural.
In the tent at night, Dardanelle explained to Du Wei.
"In the world of adventurers, simply put, the law of the jungle! Especially in places like this, if you encounter a peer, there are usually only three situations. Dardanelle said slowly: "The first one, one side is strong, the other side is weak, but the weak side does not have any good things in his hands. Then the two sides are at peace with each other.
Second, if the strength of the two sides is equal, then they will be at peace with each other.
Third, one side is strong and the other is weak. If the weaker side still has a lot of loot in hand... Then there is a **** that will cause a consequence..."
Dardanelle smiled and whispered, "Black eats black."
Du Wei didn't say anything, he knew that each circle had its own rules of the game.
•;
Early the next morning, Du Wei found Striel, who had eight fingers missing from the ranks, and several other old mercenaries.
He did not ask where the people had gone, and Bayinrich did not say.
The mercenaries rested for the night, refreshed themselves and got to work. They took out a large net with many sharp barbs, some iron clips for catching animals, and some pine resin torches for burning. Several teams were sent out to search for traces of Warcraft.
In the morning, Striel and the others returned, Strier's face was a little disappointed, he walked to the regiment commander, shook his head: "Can't find it, they may have gone far."
The regiment commander shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's their luck, and it's ours." Friend, well, since we can't find a colleague, then let's do our own work and take your people to rest for a while.
If nothing else, Du Wei and Dardanelle planned to help these mercenaries for another day, help them catch two more Warcraft, and then prepare to say goodbye to them and continue north.
Du Wei sat under a large tree, watching Dardanelle help the mercenaries set up iron clamps to trap animals, he watched Striel come back, talked with the regiment commander for a while, and then went to rest.
Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't intend to interfere with the rules of the mercenaries' game, but he was willing to help the mercenaries catch Warcraft, but he didn't want to watch them do black business, let alone participate in it. It seems that Strill did not find the goal, and Du Wei was satisfied with this result.
Sighing softly, looking at the beautiful lake in front of him, like a large mirror... Who would have thought that there was a murderous crisis hidden in the lake?
"It's beautiful, but it's full of danger." Du Wei muttered to himself.
"You're right."
The voice behind him startled Du Wei! Immediately he reacted, it was Sammel's voice! This damn woman, who has not shown up for so many days, suddenly jumped out at this time!
Looking back, Saimer was still dressed in a bright red robe, standing behind Du Wei so gently, her snow-white bare feet stepping on the soft snow... Fortunately, she is just a shadow, and the shadow is not afraid of cold.
Du Wei shrugged his shoulders: "Oh, you are finally willing to come out and show up?"
"That magician next to you the other day was very powerful." Saimer shook his head: "I can sense the horror of his spiritual power, and I even feel danger!" That magician has the ability to search for other people's spiritual power, and with his strength, he can even see my existence, so I will hide. "
"Oh." Du Wei frowned: "Isn't it only me who can see you?"
"It's like this to ordinary people." Saimel whispered, "I am connected to your spiritual power, but if the other party can explore your spiritual power, then they can see me... Only a very few strong people can do this. And a few days later... You all live in a tent with that Dardanelle, and although that guy can't see me, if he always sees you talking into the air alone, he will treat you like a crazy person. "Oh
? So, I also want to thank you for your understanding? Du Wei snorted.
Saimer smiled, and then sat down next to Du Wei, she didn't seem to care about the unhappiness in Du Wei's tone, so she sat quietly for a while, looking at the beautiful big round lake in the distance.
Du Wei glanced sideways at Semel, but found that the woman's expression was very strange...
She had a strange expression on her face, her eyes flickered, her eyebrows twisted slightly, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
"I... I feel weird. Semel's gaze swept over the beautiful lake, and then the forest in the distance..."The place is beautiful... But why..."
"What?"
Semel took a deep breath, his face blank: "I don't know... But I always feel as if I've been to this place... I have a very familiar feeling here. At least this view in front of me, I seem to have seen it somewhere.
"You? Been here? Du Wei wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
No kidding... She, Saimer, the real memory replica of Semel, has been sealed in oil paintings since she came to this world, and has not left the castle for two hundred years! How is it possible to come here?
If the real Semer had been here, Du Wei wouldn't have found it strange... But this woman in front of you.
Saimer looked into the distance obsessively, and after a long time, she shook her head vigorously, suddenly smiled, and her voice was a little low: "You must think I'm talking nonsense, right?" There's no way I've ever been here, but... I don't know how to describe how I feel... In short, it's weird.
She looked down and thought for a while, then raised her head, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "By the way, you have made good progress in magic in the past few days, I have seen the few retardation techniques you cast, it seems that actual combat can indeed enhance your ability."
In the distance, Dardanelle walked here, and Semer sighed: "Okay, I'm leaving, be careful yourself... Me, I think this lake is weird.
After
that, her body disappeared in front of Du Wei's eyes.
"Hey, Harry." Dardanelle's forehead was a little sweaty, and he looked happy: "You know what? Beinrich knew we were leaving tomorrow and said he was going to see us off tonight. The old one-eyed dragon said that he would get some special food at night... What are you thinking? My friend?
Du Wei stood up, patted the snow on his butt, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing... Okay, let's get to work, we're leaving tomorrow, and we have to help our mercenary friends today. "
•;
At night, the old one-eyed dragon actually made a big pot of mushroom soup! These mushrooms were collected by the old one-eyed dragon along the way.
In such cold weather, after a few days of eating unappetizing demon wolf meat, such a large pot of delicious mushroom soup made the mercenaries almost bite off their tongues!
Beinrich treated Du Wei and Dardanelle warmly, and brought out his last wine to see them off. In the end, Du Wei even drank two more cups and fell asleep dizzily.
In the morning, Du Wei was woken up by Dardanelle! Dardanelle's face was ugly, and his expression was solemn: "Harry! Something is wrong! Get up!! "
•;
Commander Beinrich's eyes were red! He gritted his teeth, just thinking of a beast ready to eat man! All mercenaries are like enemies! Everyone did not do any work, they all silently held weapons ...
Du Wei looked at everyone and found that there were some people missing!
Eleven! A whole eleven people! It's gone!
Eleven mercenaries in charge of the night vigil last night! Collectively disappeared!
What is incomprehensible is that they don't seem to be attacked by some Warcraft... Even if there are Warcraft, it is impossible to silently make eleven people disappear! Not even the slightest movement was made!
There are no footprints of Warcraft around the camp, not even human footprints! They did not leave, there were no corpses around, no footprints in the snow!
Eleven people, as if last night... Suddenly, it evaporated en masse!
Baiinrich divided half of the people out to look for half a day, and there was still no news! The people sent out came back empty-handed!
"Even if they are attacked, they can at least make a sound!" Baiinrich roared in annoyance: "They are all experienced old mercenaries!" It is impossible to be killed silently! It won't go far quietly!! Damn it! We didn't lose so many people along the way! But in one night, I lost eleven brothers!!
The angry regiment commander ordered: "Let's stay here for another day!" Damn it! Tonight I will personally keep vigil, everyone is alert at night, don't sleep to death! I'd rather see what here can evaporate my eleven brothers en masse! "
•;
Du Wei returned to the tent to pack his things, he was ready to stay for another day, no matter what, now that the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was in trouble, he didn't want to leave just like that.
"As I said, this lake is a little weird." Samuel didn't know when he quietly stood behind Du Wei.
