I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Tabris actually has such a skill?
Yeah, the sword doesn't lend its power to an unqualified wielder.Want to try it?
Rael pushed Tabris into the ground, took a step back, and crossed his hands.

Soon, the girl used every drop of energy and strength in her body to try to pull Tabris out.However, the great sword did not move.

too heavy.
You cannot yet bear its power.But I believe that one day, you will be able to wield this sword freely.

Rael put Tabris on his back and stroked Tina's head.

A warm picture.

At the end of the memory sequence, Tinia lowered her head.

I didn't learn anything this time either.

When Long Xiangtian withdrew from Tiniya's memory, he sighed silently.

The only knowledge he gained was the name of the red-haired man.

Why he passed Tabris to Tina is still unknown.

What's wrong?Is there something wrong with my body?

Tiniya became anxious because Long Xiangtian hadn't let her go yet.

No, there is no problem.As long as you are in good health.

When Tina began to notice the eyes of the other mercenaries, she whispered to him silently.

You make me worry for nothing.Anyway, we're leaving soon, so get back to the team quickly.

Long Xiangtian turned around and was about to walk back when a desperate cry sounded.

Sarah - save me!

A blond man rushed out from the Witch Forest, calling for help.

Behind him, is a group of orcs.As soon as Tina noticed the monsters, she waved the Tabris and shouted.

Monsters! Ready to fight!
yes madam!

There aren't many of them, so deal with them quickly!
There are hardly 30 orcs in the Horde.

Tinia led the charge, and the mercenaries rushed towards the enemy.

Keok? !

Krrr
The orc felt overwhelmed and lost interest in his prey for a moment.They all turned and ran back to the forest.

When the blond man arrived in front of Tina and the others, he immediately began to ask about his situation.

What happened in the forest?Where are the Eclipses?

All are dead. They are all possessed by witches.
The terrifying scene played repeatedly in his mind, and the young man's body trembled with fright.

A sorceress approached him and cast Restoration on him, erasing all ailments.

When the young man's terror began to subside, Tinia asked him again.

Let me explain in more detail.Where did the witch appear?

Abandoned monastery don't go there. Witches are...can do impossible things
The young man kept muttering something he didn't understand.

Seeing his behavior, Long Xiangtian grabbed his collar.

Is your patriarch dead too?How long has it been since it was wiped out?

Steven was captured by a monster summoned by a witch. He may be dead now. It's been half a day.
It has been several hours since the incident.

Long Xiangtian and Tiniya looked at each other, then turned to look at the Wizard Forest.

A dark breath that they hadn't noticed before was covering the entire forest.The Witchwood is littered with corpses of monsters and cannibals.

A few hours ago, there was a fairly heavy fight in this area.

Ugh. This makes me sick.
The horrible stench pervading everywhere made the invisible Silvia wrinkle her nose.

The other mercenaries had the same reaction.

Everyone was complaining and making brief disapproving comments about the smell.

The stench is absolutely disgusting.

damn it.
The only consolation is that there are not many monsters attacking them.

The solar eclipse family seems to have cleaned up the outskirts of the forest somewhat.

But I didn't see any survivors.

After hearing the story of the blond young man, Long Xiangtian had no hope of finding anyone.

As he walked silently, he slowly recalled the past.

Witches are very difficult people for them to defeat.

She is one of Lilith's subjects, representing the Seven Deadly Sins.

They have the strength comparable to the 72 Demon Kings and command countless monsters.

This means that even Long Xiangtian cannot easily defeat her.

Brother-in-law, can we really kill this witch?Even the cannibals were wiped out.Should we call for reinforcements?

No, that would just create more confusion, more confusion.

Envious Witch Cremilde can cast debuff magic in a large area.

Her opponents who are affected by this magic become confused and attack their allies.

This is how the solar eclipse family was wiped out within half a day.

Our people can't help much either.

Those with low mental data can only fall helplessly under the curse magic.

Although everyone drank the potion of the saint, which increased the resistance to abnormal state diseases, it was not enough to fight against the witch.

They just resist losing consciousness and try to stay awake.

We must win this battle as soon as possible.

As long as they can find the abandoned monastery, victory is not out of reach.

However, the forest was shrouded in thick black fog, and his visibility was greatly reduced.

If they pushed blindly into the forest like this, they would lose their way.

Is this direction wrong?It feels like we've been going in circles.
It's just your imagination.

He lent the hedgehog to Tina, so the chances of the Blue Eagle Mercenary Group falling into the trap were reduced.

But obviously, the hedgehog will get lost from time to time and hesitate to choose a direction to go.

Just when Long Xiangtian was chatting with the invisible Silvia about various topics, suddenly, there was an unexpected noise.

Bang Dang! Bang Dang! Bang Dang!bang!bang
There are monsters attacking!

Th - there are so many of them!
Hordes of different monsters have attacked them.

A battle has begun.Before going to fight, Long Xiangtian first tried to comfort Silvia.

do not worry.I will protect you.

Take care of my sister too.She tends to try to solve everything by herself.

Of course I will.

Tina is the core figure of the Blue Eagle Mercenary Group. If she dies, the entire group will collapse.

While slashing and killing the hellhound that was rushing towards him, Long Xiangtian checked Tina's situation.

She's fine for now.

Tina is like a seasoned mercenary captain, killing enemies on the front line.

She really deserves the name Blizzard Tina.The monster facing her was cut mercilessly by the green vortex.

Krrr!

Kiek!

Realizing that Tina is a formidable opponent, the monsters gather and attack her simultaneously.

There are quite a few of them.

However, everyone around was busy fighting their own battles, and no one could do anything to her.

Tina!
Seeing her sister surrounded by monsters, Sylvia raised her staff and cast a magic chain.

Her magic binds the monsters together so that they are recognized as one.

Thanks to the help of her sister, Tinya managed to avoid the crisis.

split!

The green vortex hit a troll and tore it to shreds along with 5 other monsters connected to it.

The rest of the monsters ended up facing the same fate.

The momentary confusion among the monsters eventually cost them their lives.

When she was done with all the monsters, Tina turned around and made a thank you gesture to her sister.

They're a great combination.

Long Xiangtian nodded, he watched the pair of brothers and sisters.

This is likely due to the fact that they coordinate their breathing and timing from an early age.

When he was thinking about how to recruit these two sisters to his side in the future.

Brother-in-law, I have a question.

Sylvia whispered to him.

what is the problem?
If my sister and I were in a dangerous situation, who would you save first?
An unexpected problem.

Long Xiangtian made a troubled expression.

He was caught in a dilemma.

Or answer truthfully.

There is no point in inventing a hypocritical lie now.

Long Xiangtian looked directly into Sylvia's eyes and said.I will save you first.Because that's my promise with Tina.

Can't you worry about my sister first and then me?She is someone who shouldn't die in a place like this.

For Sylvia, her older sister was an object of admiration.

She is a cheerful person who can do everything perfectly.She will not shrink back in front of men, she will always straighten her back and hold her head high.

If Tina died because of her, Sylvia would never be able to live with the guilt in her heart.

Seeing her earnest request, Long Xiangtian gently stroked her head.

Tina is also cherishing you with her life.If you die, she will feel as guilty as you.

but
If Tinia worries you so much, just stay by my side.If you do, I won't have to make decisions like this again.

As long as Sylvia is not in danger, this dilemma will not happen.

After Long Xiangtian finished persuading her, Silvia nodded silently.

She finally realized the importance of her role.

Everyone has defeated the monster.Get ready to go again.

Ok.

They need to keep going and reach the abandoned monastery before sunset.

The scale of the Witch Forest is impressive.

Long Xiangtian held Sylvia's hand tightly and stared behind the bushes.

He felt that outside the black mist, there was a gaze watching him from a distance.

The witch Krimhilde was watching him with her crystal ball.

Looks like she found out who I am.

However, it didn't matter to him.

His goal now is to protect Tenia and Silvia from the monsters, and to recover Medusa's bronze mirror.

To achieve these goals, he is ready to do anything.

Long Xiangtian began to walk while strengthening his spirits.

It is a well-known fable on the entire Yisi continent.

Ziggy and Brynhilder's tragic love story has sparked a lot of controversy.

The reason behind the controversy is that the ending of the story cannot be read due to the fact that the original Chronicle of Ada that recorded the story has been damaged.

Therefore, most of the stories circulated in various places are re-creations of different people.

Still, it is generally accepted that the best-known and most believable stories are the true endings of the fables.

While continuing to march with the Blue Eagle Mercenary Group, Long Xiangtian tried hard to recall everything about Krimhild.

The woman didn't tell the truth until the end.

The damaged part of the fable.

Repairing damaged parts is an important goal in Bannerlord. Long Xiangtian once tried to uncover the truth, because ancient documents often have hidden skills or epic tasks for people to discover.

There may be hidden clues here.

Back then, it was the Gray Wolf Alliance that conquered the Forest of Witches.

Long Xiangtian later defeated Krimhild who escaped, and was planning to make a comeback.

In the end, Long Xiangtian never got any rewards related to the legend.This has kept him brooding.

I gotta meet this Rael guy.

Long Xiangtian had never heard of the version Leier told the sisters.

It was worth seeing him at least once.

However, even Sylvia doesn't know where he lives now.

He left you two?

Yes, when my sister came of age, he gave me the tabliss and disappeared.We've been asking around for news of him since then, but have found no sign of him.

Long Xiangtian also heard about the content of the contract that Rael signed with Tinia through Tabris.

If one day they meet again, Tenia must obey Rael's one request.

After listening, Long Xiangtian made a puzzled expression.

a request?
He said the details of the request could not yet be disclosed because of certain circumstances.

Rael is secretive about many things about himself.

He never revealed his birthplace, hometown, or even why he became an independent mercenary.

This is rather suspicious.

However, considering that these events happened 20 years ago, it is unlikely that Rael is a demon.

What about gods or angels?

Long Xiangtian didn't understand why that kind of creature would raise two war orphans for many years.Not without a reason, but he couldn't think of a plausible one right now.

He pressed his fingers to his temples, lost in thought.Suddenly, a system message popped up in front of him.

new task】.

Title: "The Mercenary Who Disappears with the Wind".The Mercenary Who Gone With the Wind

type.Chain (1/2)
Content.Together with Tenia, find Rael hiding in the Witch's Forest and reveal his identity.If Tinia or Rael die before then, you will fail the mission.

Other content.Once failed, it cannot be repeated.

A hidden mission.

He probably got the mission from Sylvia, because she has a deep relationship with the two people in the mission.

But he didn't expect Rael to be in this forest.

I have a bad feeling.

It is impossible for ordinary humans to survive in a witch's sanctuary.

It is very likely that Rael signed a contract with the witch.Long Xiangtian was finally able to ask Leier's situation and hear the answer from his own mouth.

Soon, they came to the abandoned monastery, Long Xiangtian went to find Tinya who led the team, and took Silvia with him.

From now on, let's act together.

Of course, I also prefer to have Silvia by my side.

According to eclipse survivors, the sorceress Krimhild uses a powerful wide-area debuff spell.

If the mercenaries enter a state of confusion, they may attack Silvia.

Although Long Xiangtian assured her that she would protect Sylvia, Tiniya still couldn't help worrying about her sister.

When Tenia talked to the invisible Silvia.

Ho ho ho ho!

A woman's ugly laughter sounded from the abandoned temple, and the dark mana began to spread.

Long Xiangtian immediately realized who it was.

It was Krimhild.

Jealous witch.

Her special skill is to awaken and stimulate people's subconscious jealousy.

Most of the curses used by the Cremildes are based on this power of jealousy.

Therefore, when fighting her, also pay attention to the movements of allies.

After thinking up the strategy, Long Xiangtian turned around and said to Tiniya.

Before fighting the witch, there is one thing I need to say.

What's the matter?Is it like saying I love you?

I am a wizard.

Unexpected declaration.

Tina's eyes widened.

Necromancer?
Observe carefully.

Long Xiangtian did not explain in words, but summoned a skeleton soldier and ordered it to jump up and down.Tina was dumbfounded.

Why are you showing me this?
In order to avoid misunderstanding.

In order to face Krimhild, Long Xiangtian had to use all his strength.If he keeps concealing his power and identity, he will soon face death.

ok, I get it.I will warn others.

Long Xiangtian's intentions had been seen through by her, Tiniya nodded.

Sylvia also made a swearing look.

As the siblings begin steeling themselves for battle.

How did you come here with these puny humans?

A black portal appeared above the abandoned monastery, and a woman with chestnut hair stepped out.

Kerry Mild.

What she said was exactly to Long Xiangtian.

She sensed the hidden mana within him through her abilities as a witch.

She started talking before engaging in combat, as I expected.

There was no need to draw the weapon first, as he had plenty of questions for Krimhild, too.

He ignored the curious eyes of the mercenaries and replied.

I'm here for Rael.

Rael?Nobody here goes by that name.Oh, was it one of the rude humans who broke into my territory before?If so, it's best to treat him as dead.Well, I do keep a few alive from time to time for others to use.

By having some survivors come back alive, the witch can spread horrible rumors about herself, and she will have fewer interlopers to disturb her day.

The blond man they met before also failed to escape the test, but was let off by the witch.

Although the witch answered proudly, Long Xiangtian still spoke again.

Rael.A young man with fiery red hair and incredible sword skills.He disappeared ten years ago.Back then, he used the great sword that this girl was wielding now.Do you have any impression?
Okay, I get it now.Now I know who you're looking for.

The corner of Krimhild's mouth turned up.

She turned to speak to the abandoned monastery.

Sig, come out for a second.You have some guests.Sige?

When Long Xiangtian heard this unexpected name, he raised his head.

This name belongs to a character in the Nibelungen who is known to have died with Brynhildr.

The original version of Ada's Chronicle had been damaged, so the true ending was actually unknown, but he couldn't help but be surprised to hear the name.

Come to think of it, Tinia's version never mentions Sig's death.

And the person who told her that version was Leyle, the young man with fiery red hair and unparalleled swordsmanship.

When Long Xiangtian's unpleasant phenomenon is about to come true.
