Mercenaries and Adventurers

"How could it be?" The captain of the soldier group who led the team looked at everything around him in shock, and walked subconsciously with staggering steps.

"The trap of the demon! It's over." The priest of the Church of the Ring of the Sun did the same, gritted his teeth and looked around in shock. Compared to the soldiers, he was more surprised by what happened.

The soldier's squad leader and his soldiers opened their mouths wide, held their weapons involuntarily, and subconsciously entered a fighting state.

The thirteen people in their group originally wanted to reach this high-ranking noble suite, question the mage who lied to the nobleman and cast a spell to lure them up, no matter whether the other party is related to the assassination case in the morning, he must be taken away for examination.

But it never occurred to them that when they entered the noble suite cautiously, they just passed the gate and before they took a few steps, their entire group was shrunk.

They feel nothing of themselves.

There is no inexplicable magic shroud, no strange things jumping out, and no red light, blue light flash, green light flash and other common phenomena when ordinary magic is released.

Everything around is getting bigger and bigger between breaths! cross! Come! cross! big!

In an instant, the high-grade carpet under the feet became taller than the vast grassland in the distance in the book. Everyone's half of their thighs sank into the soft fur on the surface of the soft carpet.

The long, high-grade carpet that could be crossed in a dozen or so steps, now really turned into a grassland that was wider than they imagined before their eyes.

In the far distance of the line of sight is a white wall glowing with white light, looking like a pure white mountain that is rarely seen in the most famous hero stories. Looking up all the way up, at a very high and far distance, there hangs a light source that looks like a shining sun.

After the shock, I realized that it was just a reflective metal pendant that was originally hung on the wall. The polished metal hangings reflected the warm sunlight coming in from the opposite window, and the light was diffused by the pure white wall, illuminating the entrance that had just entered the senior noble suite.

They turned their heads along the path illuminated by the sun, and the warm afternoon sun shone in from the window as if a vast hole had been broken in the sky. The house blocked the wind and sand outside the hotel.

The bright sunlight shone into the room, and some unknown things flying in the air were illuminated by the light, showing their figures.

They raised their heads high and observed carefully, only to find that those things were nothing more than tiny dust brought into the air by the air heated by the sun.

The little ones, in just a moment, became less than half a centimeter tall.

-

"Retreat in the direction you came from!" The priest was shocked, and finally he was the first person to recover his thinking ability. He yelled loudly, pulling and slapping the soldiers around him and the soldier captain he knew.

Everyone came back to their senses and looked at the direction they came from. Fortunately, the door of this high-class noble suite was opened by them, but it has not been closed yet.

The soldiers and priests hurriedly ran towards the way they came, but they felt that the carpet under their feet was very soft and very good. But now they have been reduced to such a small size somehow, the original soft carpet has become a thick 'grassland' that is difficult to trek.

Although everyone else returned with all their strength while wading on the surface of the carpet that sank to their thighs, the soldier captain, who was a knight, charged up and jumped forward.

"I'm going to look ahead, you guys follow quickly!"

The team leader jumped more than 20 meters away (subjective distance, the actual distance may be less than ten centimeters), and he flew very far with a few jumps.

But just when they thought they could get out of here and escape this terrible situation. The soldier captain who jumped into the air snapped,

Hitting an invisible wall in the air.

Like a bug, the captain slid down the invisible wall with a sizzling sound.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahishipwas then hit the ground, and he continuously slashed at the invisible wall in front of him.

There was a distorted crackling sound, but only the sound was heard, but there was still no obvious sign of the invisible wall.

The captain of the soldier slashed more and more urgently. In the end, not only did he make a howling wind when he slashed out with the knife, but even the arm that waved the afterimage made a howling wind and waves.

But it was useless, the knife had cut something that was in the way, but the thing that was cut was neither visible nor was there any debris from the cut.

The priest led the twelve soldiers and pushed aside the carpet 'grassland' blocking the way and rushed behind the captain of the soldiers.

"How?" The priest asked urgently. The other party hit the transparent wall. They all saw it. It was because they saw it that they rushed here even more urgently.

Panting, the captain of the soldier battalion slashed the machete on the carpet beside him, scraping off large pieces of fluff on the surface of the carpet, and said through gritted teeth: "No! Feel it, there is something blocking the nearby area. A short way. We're stuck."

The priest's expression became serious, he held up his long staff, and his body emitted a bright white light: "Let me try!"

"The Great Lord of Flames!"

"Sun that lifts all things high!"

"Break all obstacles!"

"Strive to survive for the people!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The white light of the priest's whole body gathered at the top of his staff. Surrounded by white light, the black coal stone at the top of the staff burned from the outside to the inside, and quickly turned into an energy ball emitting dazzling white light before the priest's first sound of Wansheng exit.

Under the leadership of the team leader, the soldiers collectively knelt on one knee to pay respect to the Sun God and his priests. The soldier captain beside him, panting heavily, watched his partner's great display of supernatural power with eyes full of anticipation.

Wan Shengyi exited, and a surging white fire column shot straight ahead from the energy ball at the head of the staff emitting very bright light.

Like the breath of flames exhaled by a fire dragon, the flames blessed with divine power hit the invisible transparent wall fiercely. Scattered on impact, igniting swathes of carpet around them.

Originally, the surrounding carpet "grassland" was very dangerous after being ignited, but the fluff of the ignited carpet seemed to be pulled by something, and the ignited weak flame swayed towards the priest who showed his might.

"Wan Sheng!"

The second time Wansheng exited, all the surrounding flames, like birds returning to the forest, separated from their original burning objects and flew to the head of the staff held high by the priest.

The white flame sprayed out by the greatly enhanced luminous energy ball is no longer like a dragon's breath, but begins to gather rapidly, forming a regular cylindrical flame spray out, hitting the invisible in front more violently. on the wall.

Squinting his eyes and looking at the transparent wall, the captain of the soldier group turned ugly. Although his partner's attack looked very powerful, he could only see the scattered compressed flames splashed after the impact, but there was no change in the transparent wall.

The priest tried his best to maintain his magic, and the white light escaping from his body was visibly decreasing with the naked eye, but when he looked at his companion, he could only see the companion with the big knife shaking his head regretfully.

The priest who didn't believe in evil closed his eyes hard, opened them suddenly, took a deep breath, and roared in full force: "Wan!!!! ah!!"

He flattened the trembling long stick, pointed the high-temperature energy ball shining with extremely bright light at the transparent wall in front, held the hot and softened long stick tightly with both hands, and launched the unstable stick forward. Energy balls on the head.

The captain of the soldier group gave up his weapon in an instant, and he dodged behind the priest companion, stabilized his legs, stretched out his hands to press his companion's back, and at the same time shouted at the stunned subordinates: "Come behind us, hurry up!" Quick! Quick!"

As soon as the third quick word was uttered, the priest had already launched the energy ball on the head of the staff. The energy ball was not flying fast, but it seemed to be extremely heavy.

The soldiers also saw that the priest was going to open the big game, so they quickly scrambled and hid behind the captain. They thought that the captain was going to use the special ability of the knight level to resist the coming impact for everyone, but that was not the case.

Their captains themselves hid behind the Priest, and seemed to rely on the Priest, who was no stronger than any of them present, to resist the attack from the other party.

Turning his head and looking at the puzzled looks of his subordinates behind him, the captain of the soldier group knew what they were wondering about, so he had to explain: "The priest will not be defeated by the power of the gods he believes in. Be careful! Close your eyes!"

After explaining half a sentence, everyone had to close their eyes tightly, and the energy ball in front finally flew at an unpleasant speed and hit the transparent wall.

In an instant, a rapidly expanding high-temperature explosive sphere engulfed them all.

boom! !

A large area of ​​the surrounding carpet 'grassland' was completely destroyed by this explosion.

But it was amazing, starting with the priest who was not far from the origin of the explosion, within an angle of his back, there was no damage at all.

Not only was the carpet on the ground undamaged, but even the soldiers standing or lying down on the ground and the soldiers and captains were safe and sound.

"Cough cough." The priest coughed twice, and fell to the ground hot all over. As soon as the long stick in his hand touched the fluff of the blanket on the ground, the fluff was reduced to ashes, and it didn't even ignite. It becomes ashes.

But the priest's hand, which was barely holding the staff, showed no sign of being scalded, burned or scorched.

The entire long stick exudes high temperature, which distorts the air that touches the stick body, making the long stick faint in people's eyes.

The captain of the soldier group jumped forward, and jumped to the edge of the dusty carpet and the transparent wall. He only took one look, and then stomped his feet violently, stirring up a large pile of ashes on the ground.

"What's the matter?" the priest asked reluctantly.

"No." The soldier captain looked at the scene in front of him and replied bitterly.

In front of his eyes, starting from a transparent dividing line, one side of the thick carpet on the ground was covered with burning ashes, and the other side was the same as before, thick as a thigh-high carpet fluff 'grassland'.

The captain of the soldier group stretched out his hand and touched the empty space in front of him, and a solid and warm obstacle appeared again, just like before.

--

Just as the thirteen members of their group were silent in despair, a burst of words sounded like thunder from the sky from the high air in the high-end noble suite of the hotel that looked extremely spacious after they had shrunk.

"Heh, interesting." It was an old man's voice they had heard before.

Immediately afterwards, there was a young voice: "It's amazing. Teacher, is it okay?" They had never heard this voice before, but as long as they thought about it a little, they could know that it should be the voice of the person who lied about the young earl.

It sounds like he should be the old man's student or apprentice. In the parlance of a magician, this is a magic apprentice.

Immediately afterwards, there were four strange meows.

"Meow?"

"Meow!"

"Meow."

"Meow~"

The four meows are different, they are four cats. The captain of the soldier brigade who kept cats even recognized that these were the meows of four common Farah desert cats in the local area, but he felt a little strange because he was familiar with the meows of cats. The meows of these four cats were too emotional a little.

Unlike the captain of the soldiers, the priest of the Ring of the Sun's face changed drastically after hearing the cat's meow.

He struggled to stand up with his still hot staff, and shouted to the soldier captain and other soldiers: "Quick! Find the nearest place and hide!"

The others looked at the priest suspiciously.

At this moment, there was another muffled thunderous voice in the vast space above his head: "Go, bring our little guests here."

Immediately afterwards, there were four cat calls: "Meow! X4"

At this moment, the soldiers understood what the priest meant, and the captain of the soldier rushed over, grabbed the saber nailed to the ground, and then carried the priest on his shoulders, and ran towards the towering pure white wall on one side, while He shouted to his men: "All keep up! Keep up!"

The soldiers ran quickly, because they had vaguely heard the roars of monsters coming from the carpet "grassland" one after another, like monsters in myths and legends.

"Meow meow meow."

The meowing of a kitten, which usually sounds cute, sounds so terrifying at this moment, because for people like them who have been inexplicably shrunk, even an ordinary cat is probably beyond their ability to deal with.

Sure enough, following the extreme corner of the 'horizon', a cat's head appeared to them as big as a castle, and its big eyes were not much smaller than a fishing boat.

Although the head of the cat in the distance seems to be small, but they all know that it is because they are still far away from there at the moment. If a small thing is far away, if it is put close, it will be an incomparably huge giant.

The soldiers only hated that they didn't have a pair of legs, and the fluff of the carpet that spread to their thighs greatly hindered their progress.

Seeing that it was too late, a cat in the distance was rapidly approaching, and at the same time, the size of the other cat also increased rapidly in their sight. The soldier captain looked at the captain and the priest who had already reached the foot of the towering pure white wall. With a face full of despair, he turned to the soldiers who hadn't run far and said, "It's too late, they all form a circle, with their weapons sticking out !"

The other soldiers also realized that they would definitely not be able to run to the wall before the huge cat came over, so they all listened to the captain's words and kept holding the useless weapons in their hands. A thin line of defense.

They were back to back, holding various weapons in their left and right hands, one stretched upwards and the other held flat, looking like a sea urchin composed of swords.

With the slight tremor of the ground, a female Farah desert cat ran from a distance.

It was trotting quickly in the distance, but as it approached these people, it slowed down, step by step, and quietly walked towards these little people with graceful steps.

It's a quiet sound for a cat, but it's still a muffled sound for soldiers who are only half a centimeter tall. The cat's seemingly elegant catwalk, in their perspective, is an "elegant" and fast-approaching huge fur castle.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong sound of footsteps approaching little by little, all the soldiers turned their heads to look at the approaching giant cat with their teeth shaking.

A soldier whispered tremblingly: "I finally know what a cat looks like in the eyes of a mouse."

The soldier captain took a deep breath: "I think we are smaller than mice?"

The soldiers looked at each other, and at the fluff of the carpet that covered their thighs, and said in unison: "It seems so."

"Hey! What a bad luck." A soldier grinned and said, looking at the approaching Maomaotou who looked like a hill.

"Mona, I love you!" A young soldier looked at the empty space in front of him with absent-minded eyes and shouted courageously.

"You kid actually likes my sister?" A soldier a few years older beside the young soldier squinted at the side, muttering about when his sister fell in love with this kid.

"Mother, I'm sorry." A middle-aged soldier said with tears in his eyes.

"Here, here's the money I owe you, I'll pay you back." A soldier quickly threw a money bag from the armor on his chest and put it at the foot of another soldier, but said with his eyes fixed on Mao Mao's head approaching.

"No, what's the use of talking about it now." The other soldier didn't even look at the borrowed coins, and his eyes were fixed on the approaching cat's head.

"Great Sun God, please save your believers, please save your believers, please save your believers." A soldier gripped his weapon tightly, first prayed to the god of belief in a low voice, and then felt the voice It was too small, and the gods might not be able to hear it, and then they shouted loudly, with fanaticism on their faces.

The female Farah desert cat raised her ears and shook her beard, looking curiously at the little people on the ground. It could clearly see what they said and the expressions on their faces, and it seemed to be amused. The cat tried to stretch out a small furry paw, tentatively stretching out to these little soldiers.

In the eyes of the soldiers, it was a giant fluffy claw that was bigger than a house and stronger than a city wall, and it seemed to slowly but surely reach out to their heads.

Then, fan down 'gently'.
