Night Raven Master

Chapter 19 The Fangs of the Gray Wolf

evening.

"Hey, kid, go pick up some branches and come back, remember, the ones that are dry and can be burned!" Hope's voice sounded from behind.

"I know, I know!" Arthur replied loudly.

Then, he took a step and walked towards the forest.

Watching Yate's figure gradually go away, everyone in the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group put down their work.

Sheridan looked at the people surrounding him, then turned to Sanger and said, "Captain, let's start now?"

"Yeah." Sanger, who was leaning on the tree trunk, nodded, but at this moment, a voice came from above his head.

As soon as Solly looked up, she saw a crow perched on a branch, and immediately recognized its identity: "It's that trash kid's pet."

"Why is it here?" Hope picked up a stone and threw it, the crow flew up, escaped the attack, and stopped on another branch not far away, "Damn it, how could it be so flexible? "

Solly snorted, obviously mocking him.

"Okay." Sheridan glanced at the crow suspiciously, feeling something was wrong in his heart, but after seeing the crow stop, he was just combing its feathers and ignored it, "We You need to pass through the forest of depression, and you all know the danger of the forest of depression."

He stretched out his hand to Hope, and Hope took out the map again, but, unlike the place Art saw just now, Sheridan peeled off the piece of fur.

Some thick fur, after being unfolded, presents another pattern.

Sheridan squatted on the ground, pointing to the pattern on the fur: "This thing is our purpose this time."

"We have ruled out the places marked above, and now there are only two places left, the Forest of Melancholy and the Forest of Gloria." Sheridan moved his finger, pointing to a few inconspicuous places on the map. , tiny black dots that look like dirt.

"How could we go in the Glora Forest?" Solly shrugged, "That's a place that even the Apocalypse dare not enter at will."

After going through the low, middle, and high ranks, it is the stage of the Apocalypse, which noble wizards call the "official" rank.

The title of "Apocalypse" came from the church, such as Apocalypse Knight, Apocalypse Bishop and so on.

Compared with the extremely mundane prefix of "formal", professionals are more willing to accept the fancy and nicer prefix of "Apocalypse".

"That's right, that's a dangerous place. Ten years ago, a large foreign mercenary group broke into the Glora Forest. In the end, only one person came out, and he died within two days." Hope also Shaking his body, "I'd rather give up than enter the Glora Forest. I want to sleep with Dikoli a few more times."

"Forget about that warbler." Solly gave him a disgusted look. "It's disgusting."

"How do you know about Dikoli, an ugly bastard like you?"

"Enough!" Sanger's deep voice sounded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Hope shrugged his shoulders, and Solly stopped talking. Norton, who was beside him, laughed silently when he saw the reaction of the two.

Thorndike, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Sheridan, are you sure that thing really exists?"

They have spent a year and a half running around for this thing.

"I'm sure!" Sheridan raised his right hand with a serious face, "This is the information I took out of that nobleman's mouth, and I tortured it for ten days! It took ten days to get this information out, you know, to deal with a How dangerous a wizard is, even if he's just a lowly apprentice."

"Maybe he lied to you?" Solly pouted, "You know, I slept with him in order to make him lose his vigilance, and he told me a lot of lies."

Hearing her words, Sheridan's face was a bit uncomfortable: "After he opened his mouth, I have been torturing him, and the answers I got a few times later, the information is similar."

The implication is that the authenticity is still relatively high.

Hope looked around: "What if I don't find it this time? You don't really want to go to Gloria Forest, do you? Then I won't go."

"If it doesn't work this time, then spread the news." With so many failures, Sheridan was also a little uncertain, "Last time, last time to do this."

"Well, if you can really become a superhuman." After seeing Hope nodding, Sheridan looked at the others.

Others have no opinion.

"Extraordinary" is an absolute temptation.

Professionals like them are extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, they are also very clear that they cannot be compared with extraordinary people only by exercising their own strength.

Perhaps, they have superb sword skills, but what about the opponent's superb sword skills and extraordinary power?
Perhaps, they have extraordinary bow skills, but what if the other party is also the same, and can shoot arrows with extraordinary power?

Two years ago, Hope overheard the news of the "treasure" from a down-and-out and failed little noble who was kicked out of the succession.

And in order to confirm this news, not only did Solly sleep with the nobleman for several months and gained trust, they also paid a lot of money in other places.

Accidentally, their plan to spy on intelligence was leaked by Soli who was talking in her sleep.

Then, the gray wolf mercenary group, unwilling to give up the opportunity, chose to kidnap the nobleman instead of killing him.

After 20 days of torture, the failed nobleman spit out all the news, and then he was buried in a corner.

From then on, they started looking for places according to the map.

"Sheridan, in the past few times, we sacrificed the flesh and blood of horses and other low-level monsters. How about sacrificing humans this time? Just use that kid."

Sheridan narrowed his eyes: "Okay, it's the last time anyway, let's play harder."

"So are you sure?" Hope frowned. They were not good people, and they didn't have much opinion on human life.

"That's right." Sheridan spread his hands, "Although we didn't get the result a few times before, you all know what that thing is. It's definitely a demon or a devil's sacrificial ceremony. In exchange for power, humans can do it too, right? Like the kid with the black bird, I think it’s a good material.”

Looking at the silent crowd, Sheridan decided to add another fire: "What are you still hesitating about? Apart from this method, do you have other ways to become extraordinary? The Holy See? Those guys don't regard us as Purification of demons and devils is already good, we have been hiding in places with churches now. Wizards? Experiments? If you want to become something like a bloated wild boar dripping with pus, I have no objection. "

Solly next to her said, "How do you know that you won't become a monster if you exchange power from a demon?"

"Do you have any other methods!?" Sheridan roared angrily, "As for the unchanging monsters, haven't we met demon warlocks? Apart from their bad temper, how can they be monsters? As for Devil Warlock? Those guys are even more handsome and beautiful! Just like those wizards!"

Warlocks who use demon power are violent and impulsive, and do not obey the rules, but apart from that, there is no change in appearance.

The warlocks who use the power of the devil are all cunning and sinister, but they are handsome and beautiful in appearance.

Compared with warlocks, blue-blooded nobles who possess the power of wizards are also beautiful and handsome in appearance, and the stronger they are, the more so. People who don't like nobles secretly call nobles "blue-blooded devils".

However, they are not real devil power.

The reason is - the Holy See.

The Holy See's "Power of Holy Light" has a powerful lethality against demons and demons. For demon warlocks and devil warlocks, they will suffer if they touch the Holy Light.

But wizards are different. When they come into contact with the power of holy light, they will not experience any pain at all, and some wizards can even master the power of light.

The Holy See called these wizards who mastered the power of light "lost", saying that they should have thrown themselves into the arms of the Holy Light.

People's reverence for kingship is similar to that of theocracy. The nobles have substantial dominance over the people, while the Holy See occupies half of the spiritual rule. People believe more in the Holy See's words.

Hearing Sheridan's words, everyone fell silent. Before they began to train themselves, these professionals had all sought out the Holy See and tried to become priests or knights. However, they had no qualifications and could not enter the Holy See at all.

If it wasn't for that, they simply wouldn't rely on physical and technical exercise to become professionals that way.

Extraordinary professionals and ordinary professionals are two completely different concepts.

Now, even if they went to the Holy See, they still couldn't become knights, let alone priests. They had tried to contact demons and devils, and the only result was to be "purified".

As for wizards?

There are indeed some people who will seek refuge with wizards, but most of them will disappear in the end, or become monsters after the experiments of wizards, and can no longer appear in this world openly.

Those who did not become monsters also had various physical problems, and died within a few years.

Compared with the result of turning to the wizard, the deal with the devil is better.

If you make a ranking in the minds of ordinary professionals, it is basically——

First: Become a member of the Holy See, become a natural extraordinary person

Second: Dealing with the devil, the devil

Third: Ordinary Professionals

Fourth: Take refuge in the wizard

Hope muttered a few words: "Okay, just try it once. It's a pity, I wanted to get some money from that kid."

"There will be opportunities to make money in the future." Sanger glanced at him, then looked at Sheridan, "This is the last time, the last chance."

Afterwards, his eyes turned around on everyone: "Is there any objection?"

Everyone looked at each other, but in the end they didn't speak.

"That is agreed." Sanger nodded and made a decision, "Sheridan, as before, after finding the destination, I will leave it to you."

"Okay." Sheridan nodded, and then he looked at Solly and Hope, "Before you find the place, don't mess with that kid again, and don't let him run away."

"Tch..." Solly turned her head away, feeling a little annoyed, but she didn't refute, apparently agreeing.

"Okay~ I will take good care of him." Hope nodded with a playful smile.

None of them noticed that the black crow on the tree had a glimmer of humanity in its eyes.
