Lord of War

The lead-grey cloud curtain droops down, smearing an extremely thick gray on this world. It wasn't a dark cloud, and there was no lightning and thunder, but there was a sense of heavy pressure that made people feel breathless. It seemed that the world was about to collapse soon, especially when Sean was walking up the mountain, slowly raising his head and looking up. It is a strange illusion that is very close to this day.

This is an unnamed cliff, located in Soder Territory. Sean vaguely remembers standing on the top of the cliff and can see two-thirds of the landscape in Soder Territory. Of course, for a territory with many mountains and forests, such cliffs are actually of little practical value.

Of course, the most interesting thing is that the road up the mountain is in the territory of Tindes, but the cliffs that stretch up are facing Soder. Therefore, if Earl Soder rashly sends troops up the mountain to build surveillance fortifications, it will cause a dispute between Cheng and the Marquis of Tinders-no nobles in the field will allow the troops of other nobles to act on their own territory, because this is simply a an insult.

But Perrault, Marquis of Tindes, because the location of this mountain is too remote, the logistics line cannot be opened 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 neither of them made any comments or opinions on this cliff. It seemed that there was no such cliff at all, so there was the solitary tomb that Yoda erected here.

The way up the mountain was very smooth, and I didn't encounter the monster that Sean had always been on guard for.

If it had been changed two months ago, Sean might have thought that it was a bug or something, and would have been very happy to take the things and leave without thinking about anything else at all. But this time is different. Even if he is standing in front of the lonely grave at the moment, Sean is still vigilant enough, because he knows that the monster is not a quiet thing, and its inherent wandering characteristics make it very It is difficult to wait in one place, after all, this is not a game, there is no program restriction.

Even monsters need to eat, nest and live.

Sean's eyes fell on the tombstone of the Lonely Tomb, which reads "Faith and Commitment" in the middle. There is no name of the person in the tomb, nor the name of the person who fell. It looks like an anonymous tomb. But if you look closely, you can find that the stone of this tombstone is the same as that of the house where Master Yoda lived, and the carving method used for the text on the tombstone is not chisel, but similar to a kind of magic Array of engraved inlays.

Then contacting Master Yoda's identity, occupation, and the purpose of letting Sean come here, it is natural to know exactly who carved this tombstone.

Sean was half-kneeling in front of the tomb, closing his eyes and whispering something.

The breeze was light, like a naughty elf, lifted the corner of Sean's clothes, pulled his hair slightly, and continued to move forward with a smile, running from the edge of the cliff to the sky, as if he was about to fall into the arms of the low gray cloud.

After a long time, Sean stood up, walked behind the tombstone, and tapped the mud on the ground with the scabbard. After a while, Sean found what he was looking for - it was a piece of mud that was not very thick. After using the scabbard to remove the sand and stones on it, you could see a solid white cloth. Small package, this one package is what Sean is looking for on this trip.

In this solitary tomb, people are not buried, but Yoda's old beliefs and the promise of his last disciple.

That gifted and intelligent disciple, who should be regarded as Senior Sean in name, once promised Yoda that he would come back here in a year, rediscover the faith buried by Yoda, and then fulfill his promise , inheriting everything from Yoda. But according to the excavations of the sophisticated parties in the game, this extremely talented person has been breaking his promise for ten years, and he never returned until the first expansion update, when Yoda died.

Gently sweeping away the sand and stones wrapped in his hand, Sean frowned slightly, this time he was really puzzled. If he didn't encounter the monster when he went up the mountain, then when he knelt in front of the tombstone and pretended to pray and dig out this package, it was the best time to 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?

After scanning the surrounding situation again, Sean determined that this was not the conspiracy of the monster, and then he walked towards the road where he came, but his inner vigilance was still maintained, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest. But until Sean returned to the foot of the mountain, he didn't see any trace of the monster, which made Sean wonder if he was really lucky, so he didn't encounter the monster?

But I don't know why, the feeling of being stared at on Sean's body has not changed in the slightest, 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 him a fatal blow, and what is even more terrifying is that Sean can even feel that the opponent It seems that he has become more and more impatient, and his patience seems to be worn out.

But even so, Sean doesn't know where the enemy is at all. If he can't find the enemy, Sean certainly won't mess around blindly. So still with enough vigilance and vigilance, Sean did not continue to waste time here, and directly embarked on the return journey. He needed to send this package back to Yoda in order to complete his job transfer.

Just as Sean gradually disappeared to one end of the horizon, he was standing on the rock when he was going down the mountain, and the air suddenly had an irregular flow.

When this abnormal flow of air gradually faded, a kobold in leather armor was finally exposed to the air.

It held two serrated daggers in both hands. The body of the dagger was dark black, and it was impossible to see whether it was poisoned, but it was certain that the two daggers were absolutely matte. The leather armor worn by this kobold is also black leather with matte material applied. Judging from these surface features, this kobold's occupation is obviously a thief who prefers assassination techniques.

However, the body of this kobold is slightly different than the average kobold. First of all, the first point is that this kobold is much more robust. Its height has exceeded 1.5 meters, which is definitely enough to be considered tall among kobolds, and its body shape is also larger than the average. The kobold is bigger; the second point is that the skin of this kobold is actually dark red, and it has some extremely unique purple-red textures; finally, the third and most important point, this kobold head There are no horns on it, but a pair of pointed horns with hooks, which look a bit like the head horns of a little devil.

At this moment, once the figure of this kobold is revealed, it also exudes a strong bloody aura, and from its scarlet eyes and the white mist that is constantly spewing out, it is obvious that this kobold has just experienced There was a bloody killing, and now its mood has not completely calmed down. If Sean could see this kobold, he would know why the monster on the cliff didn't come to trouble him.

And in the same way, he will know exactly what has been staring at him.

It's a pity that Sean couldn't see the appearance of this somewhat special kobold.

The kobold stared in the direction where Sean was leaving, and made a few small, hoarse barks, as if he was muttering something, before shaking his head and tail, and strode up to catch up. Its duty is to find a way to deal with Sean. Of course, because of his occupation, this kobold really wants to do a neat and tidy 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 was as peaceful as when it came.

Sean set off at dawn and returned to Yoda's house just in time for night.

Yoda was not too surprised that Sean only spent a day going back and forth. According to what he knew about Sean, he should actually be back around this time. It's just that when he saw Sean, Yoda still sighed, with a look of pity in his eyes: "It seems that you didn't meet that guy."

For a strong man like Yoda, just a glance can tell if Shaun has ever had a fight. Judging from Yoda's words, it is obvious that he knew that there was a monster on the cliff, and maybe he was the one who kept it there to guard the solitary tomb. It should be some kind of test or test. It was a pity that En didn't fight that monster, and Yoda naturally felt a little pity, because then he couldn't really understand Sean's strength.

But when he thought about Sean's performance yesterday, Yoda didn't really care that much.

Just suddenly, Yoda turned his head and looked in the direction Sean had come from, as if he had suddenly sensed something, and a sharpness that was completely incompatible with his age flashed in his cloudy eyes. But at this moment, Sean suddenly felt that the tension of being stared at suddenly disappeared. On the other hand, Yoda's reaction, even if Sean was an idiot, he knew what was going on.

"It seems that you are being targeted by something unclean." Yoda said softly, but his tone was contemptuous, "Alright, since you haven't met that guy, you can take this Follow your stuff as a workout."

While saying this, Yoda opened the package in his hand, and inside was a beautifully crafted wooden box - the box exuded a faint fragrance, it seemed that it was precisely because of this fragrance that the wooden box was buried in the soil. will rot. Randomly throwing away the cloth in his hand, Yoda opened the box again, and inside was a slightly worn notebook.

"This is an old manuscript of mine, about my swordsmanship and some magical experience." Yoda handed Shawn the notebook in his hand, but the box was not given to him, "I have said it before, I have I'm old and can't help you, so you can read this manuscript and study it yourself." Saying that, Yoda glanced at the dark night again: "Go back with this notebook, in this night There's no better chance for you to fight a thief who wants to assassinate you. . . . If you're alive, you'll be rewarded when you go back and read this manuscript, and if you're dead..."

"Then I will collect the corpse for you. The solitary grave on the cliff just fits a real corpse. ... May the magic be with you."

Then, Yoda closed the door directly in front of Sean, not even in the mood to let him spend the night or have a dinner, leaving only Sean standing stupidly outside the door.
