The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 125 Act Five. Night Watch
The desert nights are extremely cold.

Without the insulation effect of green vegetation, the temperature difference between day and night in this desert is extremely large. During the day, the gravel that can still roast raw meat becomes quite cold at night, and the cold wind blows through it, causing people to shiver.

And as one of the wastelands affected by the chaotic power of disorder, the night in the shallow sea desert is even more bleak.

The caravan found a weathered stone wall to camp at dusk, and took advantage of the last lingering heat of the setting sun to raise a flame to cook food.

Walking in the desert, most of the food is quite simple. Dried bacon and broth made from dehydrated vegetables are the only dishes. The water source is quite precious. There is even a car dedicated to holding water buckets, so the dinner is relatively simple. .

After dinner, most of the merchants returned to their carriages, and low-pitched voices could be heard from time to time. The camels had all fed the hay and were resting with half-closed eyes.

The mercenaries stayed on vigil, chatting in the desert at night together with a few businessmen who were still sitting by the campfire.

Rosen sat beside the stone wall, and the firelight reflected on his armor, showing an orange color.

He had been walking around day and night for the past few days, so he was a little uncomfortable suddenly stepping into the rhythm of human life. During dinner, Rosen didn't participate in it, and just watched these businessmen quietly in the shadows. Many people even ignored the existence of Rosen in the caravan.

The battle during the day gave Rosen a little more understanding of perception, and he was gradually digesting these feelings in his heart, turning them into his own strength.

In this month, he has mastered both wolf swordsmanship and temple swordsmanship, and can be regarded as a master. However, he is still inferior in other aspects, such as the use of magic power and perception. So far, he has also Only elementary methods such as magic power release and magic barrier can be used, and higher-level methods have not yet been used in actual combat.

After entering the bronze rank, the daily soul consumption climbed from one point to ten points. It seems that with the improvement of strength, the body's demand for the soul becomes stronger. I don't know what will happen after being promoted to silver. worry.

Unlike the previous missions with a tight rhythm, the mission released by the system this time has a considerable degree of freedom. It does not limit specific types of holy relics, and the time limit is as long as one year. This gave Rosen breathing time, but otherwise From an angle, it also reduced his means of obtaining souls.

Previously, most of the time, Rosen hunted some wild beasts in the forest to earn the daily consumption of souls, but compared with those mutated monsters and powerful cultists, the efficiency of this method was too low, so he swayed slowly. A month later, he decided to take a look at Liliana's commission first.

Rosen has never seen real holy relics, and he can't imagine the strength of those items, but since Liliana will give him this task, it at least shows that the degree of danger of the incident is acceptable to Rosen, so he Will gladly come here.

With the power of perception released, Rosen quietly arranged his own perception network around the camp, and anyone who tried to enter or leave this area would be known by Rosen.

One is that they are worried that the hot wind mercenary group will come to retaliate, and the other is a subtle intuition.

Dominique's words and deeds are very firm, obviously coming for this convoy, so there must be relatively special people or things in the convoy, and it seems that there is nothing special about the items, so it can only be people.

The night was long and cold. Affected by the power of chaos, neither the stars nor the bright moon disappeared in the sky. There was only a deep darkness, which made people feel lonely. Rosen was in the shadows, like a dormant beast. Watching everything quietly.

Finally, in the middle of the night, Rosen discovered the unexpected situation.

Almost all the merchants fell into a deep sleep, and the mercenaries on guard at night were making jokes to ease the loneliness of the night, while at the other end of the camp, a figure was moving furtively.

Using the shadow of the carriage, the man slowly walked outside the camp, paying attention to the movements of the mercenaries from time to time.

something wrong.

Rosen didn't make a move right away. He watched the man successfully escape from the camp and disappeared at the end of the dune, then slowly got up and chased him away.

He hardly alarmed anyone, the ghostly figure caught up with the guy who fled the camp in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Where are you going?"

Rosen said quietly, causing the other party to freeze immediately.

"Uh"

He turned around and it was a mercenary.

"I'm going to leave you alone!"

He suddenly jumped up, the blade hidden in his hand came out, and he went straight to Rosen, and the "feeling" like an electric current swept over Rosen, causing a burst of unhappiness.

Black iron level?
In my memory, this mercenary was only the peak of Wuwei, and he seemed to have been hiding his strength.

Facing such a guy, it was impossible for Rosen to miss. He turned slightly to avoid the opponent's attack, and then grabbed the man's wrist with his backhand.

Snapped--

The sharp knife made a slight sound as it landed on the cold gravel.

"Why are you running?"

Rosen asked, mobilizing his magic power at the same time, and decided to try the method he had figured out before.

Perception mixed with magic power is like a needle piercing into the opponent's head, and many images emerge in Rosen's vision.

These pictures are messy, but the flag of the hot wind mercenary group and the figure of Dominic can still be seen.

It turned out that this was a spy of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group who had infiltrated among the mercenaries.

Rosen immediately understood the identity of this person.

He was the eyeliner arranged by Dominic in the ordinary mercenaries in the early years. He was among the mercenary regiments and provided information for Dominic. Now he fled because of Dominic's death.

These spies have special settings in their bodies. If they do not receive the drugs given by the organization regularly, they will have an attack. This time, Dominic was confident, but unexpectedly died unexpectedly. Can choose to escape, hoping to go to the stronghold of the hot wind mercenary group, report the news of Dominic's death, and get some medicine by the way.

"So that's it, you are from the Hot Wind Mercenary Corps."

Rosen whispered, surprising the other party.

The man originally wanted to weave some lies to buy time, but he didn't expect Rosen to see through his identity at a glance.

This is Rosen's attempt to use magic power. He affects thoughts and memories by reading the currents of the nerves inside the brain. At present, he can only read some memories with strong hints.

For example, the previous question was actually evoking the memory of this mercenary. This method is not yet mature. If the other party is someone who has received relevant torture training, Rosen may not be able to succeed.

After thinking about it, Rosen decided to make another attempt.

He lightly placed his hand on the opponent's forehead, pierced with a little awn-like magic power, making the opponent dizzy for a while, then left the person behind, and returned to the camp before he could react.

This is a setting that uses some magic power to read the opponent's senses. Rosen hopes to use this guy to investigate the affairs of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group. After all, if the observation post of the Rainbow Tower loses contact, then maybe there is inextricable connection with these robbers. wisps of contact.

But when Rosen returned to the camp after all this was done, he found that someone was already waiting for him.
