Mortal Epic of Douluo

Every year in the Borno area, many people die from attacks by ferocious beasts and spirit beasts, but in the territory of Count Ogunode, Omero and Sophia are the first civilians to die from the mouths of spirit beasts this winter. Therefore.

Even though it was already dark, the villagers spontaneously went out and gathered at the entrance of Beicun, pointing at the corpse and chatting.

They were two unrecognizable corpses. They looked quite miserable. Their whole bodies seemed to have been bitten beyond recognition by some ferocious beasts. The moose skin cloak, which was so tough that even a gray wolf could hardly bite through, seemed to have no protective effect at all.

In addition to these two corpses, there were several soul masters in the circle formed by the villagers that they did not dare to approach. They were all women, an old woman, a young woman, and two girls. What was interesting was that they

Their clothes are all aqua blue.

The old woman led the two girls to sit on the stools brought by the villagers to rest. The other young woman was looking after their two horses, combing their manes elegantly.

"Haha~" One of the little girls yawned, tugged on the corner of the clothes of the other girl next to her, and said coquettishly: "Sister~ I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep~"

My sister answered softly: "Didn't the village chief just say to find the family members of the body? After the family members come to claim it, we can find a place to rest."

The younger sister seemed to be a bit petty. She glanced at the two corpses next to her and continued to mutter: "Huh, if it weren't for these two burdens, we would have entered Borno City to rest now. My hot bath is still there.

There were big soft beds, but they’re all gone!”

This time, the elder sister did not follow her younger sister, but criticized her with a serious face: "Yue'er, we are also from a commoner family, how can you say such a thing! As a soul master, he is different from ordinary people.

, when encountering such a thing, we should help. I couldn’t save them from the cunning Rakkor bear. I feel very guilty in my heart... You are not allowed to say such words again, otherwise

I’ll punish you by not eating ice cream in the summer!”

My sister pouted and immediately begged for mercy: "No, sister, I was wrong~ Without ice cream, I will die QAQ"

After hearing the conversation between the two sisters, the old woman next to them opened her eyes slightly, with a relieved smile on her face, and nodded gently, apparently very satisfied with her sister's words.

"Everyone give way, give way! Oscar is here, let him pass!"

Lester opened the way in front and squeezed through the crowd. Oscar grabbed his hand and followed closely behind him. After seeing the body on the ground, he jumped forward with a "Wow--" and crawled on Omero's side.

Weeping loudly over the corpse.

Lester saluted the old woman and said while gasping: "Respected...respected soul master, this is...the deceased's child Oscar, please forgive him for not being able to get up and salute now, I am extremely sorry!"

The old woman stood up with crutches and helped Kester up. She smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. No one can remain absolutely rational in this situation. Let him cry for a while."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, Atreus, who followed Lester, rushed in. After seeing the bodies of Omero and Sophia, he knelt heavily on the snow.

This touching scene moved the onlookers. The younger sister, who had been complaining so well before, also shed tears. The elder sister quickly comforted her. Then she looked at Oscar and Atreus, who were kneeling on the snow and crying bitterly, and hesitated.

After a moment, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and walked over.

"Hey, wipe your tears."

Atreus was feeling sad, and he suddenly took out the handkerchief and wiped away his tears and nose before he realized what he was doing. He looked up and found that the person who gave him the handkerchief was a very beautiful girl.

Milo and Sophia were saddened by the accident, but after seeing the girl, they were involuntarily attracted to her.

This girl looks much older than him, a full head taller than him, and she looks to be over 1.5 meters tall. She has long aqua-blue hair hanging down her back, and her fair face is dotted with delicate facial features.

It was very soft and not particularly stunning at first glance, but Atreus felt a hazy beauty in her body.

"Thank...thank you." Atreus stupidly handed the handkerchief back.

The girl looked at the handkerchief full of tears and snot, and frowned, "Forget it, just keep this handkerchief yourself..."

"I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean it." Atreus also reacted, feeling a little guilty in his heart, scratching his head and saying: "Let me wash it for you, don't worry, I will definitely wash it.

Very clean!”

"Forget it, just keep it for yourself. It's just a handkerchief anyway." The girl muttered, then turned around and continued to comfort her sister, ignoring Atreus.

Atreus stopped crying, but Oscar had no intention of stopping. The old woman felt that this was not an option, so she came to Atreus's side, stretched out her crutch, and stood beside Oscar.

With a gentle tap on his head, Atreus felt a cold breath appear, and then Oscar instantly shuddered and stopped crying.

Atreus blurted out: "Is this...soul power?"

The old woman nodded towards Atreus with a kind face and did not explain much.

Oscar, who woke up, turned around and knelt down to the old woman again, kowtowing his head: "Thank you, respected soul master! Thank you for bringing my father and mother back. I, I don't know what to do."

In return, I can only kowtow to you!"

The old woman did not stop his behavior. After Oscar finished kowtowing, she stretched out her hand to help him up. Then she touched her left hand with her right hand on the cane, and a faint light lit up, followed by a moose skin backpack and a hunting handle.

The knife suddenly appeared and fell to the ground.

The old woman pointed to the moose skin backpack and said kindly: "You must have encountered some difficulties in your family for going hunting in the mountains regardless of the danger in the winter. This is the harvest of your parents' hunting. Take it home."

Oscar reached out to take the backpack, but found that the backpack was too heavy and he could not lift it. It fell to the ground with a thud, and several pieces of venison also fell out.

Village Chief Lester stepped forward and picked up the backpack for Oscar. When he opened the backpack, he found that the venison inside was intact. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Thank you, respected Soul Master, you are really awesome."

Kindness!"

Atreus picked up the hunting knife, which was a relic of his brother Kratos. He didn't need it himself, so he gave it to Uncle Omero.

When the old woman saw Atreus picking up the hunting knife, she reminded her: "Child, you'd better sell this hunting knife as soon as possible and don't keep it."

Atreus raised his head and looked at the old woman in confusion, but before he could ask, she took the lead in explaining: "Although I don't know if you can understand, I still want to make it clear to you.

Er Xiong probably found your uncle and aunt after looking for this hunting knife, and launched an attack on them."

The old woman took the hunting knife from Atreus's hand, condensed a water-blue soul power in her hand, and injected it into the hunting knife. A mark slowly lit up on the hunting knife,

A mark that looks like a bear's head.

"People will hold grudges, and so will soul beasts. Before some powerful soul beasts die, they will leave soul marks on the people or soul beasts who hunted them, so that their partners and species can stay within a certain range.

He senses the presence of the hunter internally, and then takes revenge. But I have never seen or heard of this kind of mark left on a hunting knife."

"Hunting knife?" Atreus listened carefully, vaguely remembering that his brother Kratos seemed to have said similar knowledge. If that's the case... "So that's it. My brother must have killed him last year."

The Rakkor bear that came down the mountain to attack the villagers left it behind before it died!"

"Your brother?" The old woman was suddenly a little surprised, because the little boy in front of her looked very ordinary. The Raqor bear that attacked Omero today was at least eight hundred years old, since it could be what the child said.

That Rakkor bear is taking revenge, so that bear's strength must not be weak.

Rakor Bear is a high-level soul beast that can kill Rakor Bear for hundreds of years. His brother is at least close to the strength of the Soul Lord, but this little boy's clothes have many patches, and he doesn't look like him.

He is the younger brother of the soul master.

"Kid, where is your brother? It's better for him to hold this hunting knife. The bear that attacked your uncle was very cunning. Although I seriously injured it, I still let it escape accidentally. Although it's so far away

Rakkoor Mountain is a full thirty miles away, but there is no guarantee that the beast will enter the village and attack you after it recovers from its injuries!"

"My brother, he..." Atreus stroked the hunting knife and was speechless for a moment.

"Lord Soul Master, his brother is a hero." Seeing that Atreus was speechless, Lester stepped forward to speak to him, "Last year, a Rakkor bear came down from the mountain and attacked a village in the north. His

My brother Kratos stepped forward and after a fight, he and the bear died together."

The old woman suddenly realized: "Oh, that makes sense. No wonder the mark is attached to the body of the hunting knife. The beast was seriously injured by me, and he will definitely not dare to come out of the mountain for a while, but I suggest you do this as soon as possible.

Put the hunting knife in a safe place. It is very sharp and of good quality. You can take it to the city and sell it. I see that your clothes are all patched. Sell the hunting knife and buy a few to make a few.

New clothes."

At this moment, the villagers watching on the side started shouting.

"How could something so dangerous be left in the village?"

"Yes, if that bear goes crazy and rushes into the village tonight, wouldn't we all suffer?!"

"Yes, we can't keep it, we have to throw it away now!"

Atreus originally stretched out his hand to take the hunting knife from the old woman's hand, but the villagers shouted so loudly that his hand froze in the air.

As the village chief, Lester also felt embarrassed. Although the soul master said that the Rakor bear was seriously injured and could not move for a while, the villagers obviously did not agree with this statement.

So Lester mustered up his courage and bowed to the old woman: "Dear soul master, it's not that we untouchables are ignorant, we just have the guts to ask you..."

"Okay, I know what you want to say." The old woman waved her hand to interrupt Lester's words, turned to Atreus and asked: "Kid, save people to the end, since your elders risked their lives to go into the mountains.

Hunting, there must be some unspeakable secrets, right?"

"Yes, Master Soul Master, we..." Atreus immediately briefly described the situation.

"So that's it. If that's the case, then I'll pay for this hunting knife." The old woman took out a money bag out of thin air, rummaged through it, and found that the money bag was filled with gold soul coins, some of which were gold soul coins.

hesitate.

"Principal, I think this hunting knife is quite beautiful, why don't you give it to me?" The girl who looked like a snow elf came over and took out five Gintama coins from a money bag and handed it to Art.

Rhys.

Atreus took it with his hand and accidentally touched the girl's hand. He felt an electric shock and couldn't even say thank you.

The girl didn't seem to care, she took the hunting knife from the old woman and started playing with it.

The trouble was solved. The old woman shouted to the young woman beside her: "Xiao Liu, take Yue'er and get on the horse. We must hurry up and get to Borno City to stay. We have been delayed a lot today."

"Ta, ta, ta -"

The sound of horse hooves was heard. The villagers were all too familiar with the sound of horse hooves and quickly got out of the way.

The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and soon a group of knights appeared, followed by a carriage. The leader of the group, a light-armored knight, shouted loudly: "Dear guest, please stay!"

As the knights arrived, the villagers all bent down to salute one after another. The leading light-armored knight stopped when he rode his horse ten steps in front of the old woman. After dismounting, he crossed his hands on his shoulders.

, bending slightly:

"This is Tris Ogunode. Some villagers reported earlier that distinguished guests have arrived at the territory of my Ogunode family. So, following my father's instructions, I came to invite some of them to our manor to have a chat.

Thoughts. Where do the distinguished guests come from?"

The old woman nodded slightly and replied: "My surname is Yang, I come from Beiyuan Province, and I am the dean of the Junior College Affiliated to Tianshui Soul Master Academy. A few days ago, I took my students into the northern mountains to hunt for soul rings, and went around in the mountains.

Turn around, I never thought that when I came out of the mountain today, I would enter the Bolton area."

Tris bowed his hands again and saluted: "It turns out to be Dean Yang. Tianshui College has a great reputation. They say that both students and teachers in your college are all talented and beautiful. When I saw them today, they are indeed extraordinary!"

The old woman smiled and said: "Hehehe~ I am just an old woman. I am over sixty years old and have white hair. How do I get my appearance?"

Tris continued to praise: "Dean Yang is over sixty years old, but he is energetic and has a childish face and golden hair; the two little female classmates are naturally beautiful, and they will be the most powerful when they grow up; the teacher is also gentle and elegant, with a beautiful appearance.

Li Tianshui College is indeed well-deserved!”

Principal Yang and another female teacher both smiled and accepted Tris's compliment, but the snow elf-like girl said with a cold face: "I don't call you little female classmate, I have a name, Shui Bing'er!"

The female teacher immediately pulled Shui Bing'er and gently scolded: "Bing'er, don't act nonsense!"

"Hahahaha," Tris waved his hands quickly and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Student Bing'er has such a temperament, and Principal Yang has such an elf-like student. It's really enviable."

The compliments came out, which made the onlookers a little shocked. Atreus was still a proud and domineering noble boy this morning. Who would have thought that Principal Yang of Tianshui Academy would show such an appearance.

As the eldest son of Earl Ogunode, Tris is a tyrant in the Bolton area. He usually runs rampant and can be treated with such dignity. It seems that the reputation of Tianshui Academy is indeed strong enough to treat the eldest son of the Turkish Emperor Earl Ogunode.

They all bent down.

Unexpectedly, the girl named Shui Bing'er was not happy because of Tris's compliment. She still scolded him with a cold face: "I don't need your compliment. I have seen too many bad people like you.

Our Tianshui College only knows how to flatter you by licking your face, but I don’t want to do this!"

As soon as these words came out, Tris was a little confused about what to say, but he probably understood the situation here, and he immediately understood why this little girl from Tianshui College called him a "bad guy".

The smile on his face still hung, "Hey, these are all misunderstandings. My original intention is actually to let the people in the territory know the majesty of my Ogunode family. It is indeed my lack of thinking that happened.

.”

Tris walked up to Oscar and said with a smile: "I'm very sorry for your parents' accident, so in the presence of so many people, I announced that I will waive the fine owed by your father Omero. Is this good?"

"Of course it's good," Dean Yang also said, "Mr. Tris, as a noble, you should have a noble demeanor. Protect the people in the territory and treat them as your own children. This is what a noble should do.

quality."

"Thank you for your guidance, Tris will take it to heart!"

After chatting with Dean Yang for a while, Tris invited them to sit in the carriage and come to the manor as guests. Dean Yang happily agreed and boarded the carriage with the two girls and the female teacher. Tris led the way in front, and the group was fully

Sequentially drove towards the manor.

Atreus clutched the five silver coins in his hand, looked at the direction the carriage was driving and murmured: "Shui Bing'er... thank you. I hope I can be qualified to stand in front of you in the future.

Just say thank you."
