Chapter 197: The Wizard's Vision
Blood flowed on the gravel road and was soon washed into the cracks by rain.
"Damn aliens!"
The only remaining soldier picked up his weapon and rushed over. With a "clang" sound of metal collision, the soldier's wrist went numb, and he felt a tingling pain all over his body. He staggered and fell to the ground.
Thorns III - It will cause anyone who launches a close-range attack to suffer a certain amount of rebound damage.
Soon, the last soldier who rushed over also stopped moving.
"I don't kill civilians," the man said.
As he said, he sheathed his sword when the only people left on the scene were civilians.
This remark frightened several people nearby who were picking up weapons, including the fruit stall owner who picked up a machete from behind and seemed to be planning a sneak attack.
It is true that all the people present are civilians, but if they swing their weapons down, that would be another matter.
No one took action.
Terror continued to spread around, followed by screams and noise.
"ah!!"
The crowd gathered in the market immediately dispersed and fled in different directions despite the heavy rain.
The fruit vendor lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud. He crawled backwards tremblingly, not caring about the mud on his hands and the dirty water on his clothes. After standing up, he let out a loud shout and ran away. However, he fell to the ground again after only two steps and fell headfirst into his own fruit stall.
The silver coins in his pocket spilled all over the floor.
Shaking his head, Levi walked towards the cage, split the bars in a few moves, took out a bottle of regeneration potion and gave it to the general.
Health points increase slowly.
This is the last regeneration potion in my backpack.
Speaking of regeneration potions, the output is really small. Its brewing requires the 'Tears of the Ghast' dropped by the 'Ghast', a monster in hell with a relatively low refresh rate.
This means that every time Levi runs out of regeneration potions, he has to stay in hell for a long time, and he may not even get them.
Compared to the regeneration potion, the production cost of the instant healing potion is much lower. It only needs to be synthesized from watermelon and gold nuggets to make a "golden watermelon".
Although the overall effect and recovery amount are not as strong as the regeneration potion, it can take effect instantly and is cheap.
Now that watermelons are available, we can realize the freedom of instant healing potions in the future.
Levi carried the Gondor general, whose health was slowly rising, on his back, picked up a blanket from the market and covered him with it, then started walking back the same way he came.
With a barely perceptible smell of blood.
Crash——
The sounds of a large number of hurried footsteps and raindrops falling on the ground merged together to form a low drum music.
"Where are the people?"
The commander of the army stationed in the Harnen River basin arrived late.
Looking at the messy market and the damaged prison cart, the commander's anger almost overflowed from his face.
"Damn it, what happened again..."
At this moment, there was a slight movement in the market. The commander turned his head and saw a man crawling out of the fruit stall.
"stop!"
He roared, and the man trembled all over and immediately dared not move.
After a moment, two soldiers carried the fruit stall owner to the commander.
"What's going on here?"
Facing the strong sense of oppression emanating from the commander, the fruit stand owner did not dare to hide anything. He was shaking like a sieve, and pressed his hand against his heart as he spoke forcefully, "Yes, a scary guy in a robe took the body of the Gondor prisoner. I heard he came from the East."
"Anything else?" The commander grabbed the fruit stall owner's head and asked.
"And, what else..." Facing the pressure from the commander, the boss thought desperately and said, "Yes... yes! A soldier tried to cut him with a sword, but it seemed like he cut himself. He can use magic, magic - yes, he used magic to rebound other people's attacks! That's all I know, really..."
Plop.
The fruit stall owner was thrown to the ground, and the commander clenched his fists.
He comes from the East, knows magic, and likes to rob people.
"That wizard again!"
"What a bunch of idiots. The whole town is full of wanted notices for that wizard. Didn't anyone recognize him?!"
"The blue-robed archer who kidnapped our court wizard..."
Suppressing his anger for the moment, the commander waved his hand and called his deputy, saying, "Gather all the fighting forces that can be mustered in the town, contact the guards at the ferry, and do not let any suspicious people pass."
"Let's go catch that wizard."
"Commander, is this dangerous?" the deputy asked.
"I heard that the wizard has all kinds of strange abilities, and even our court wizard can't defeat him."
"That makes sense." The commander thought for a moment and said, "Let the soldiers take up shields to protect themselves from his magic and arrows."
"Can we really defend ourselves with just a shield?" the deputy asked.
"I know you are always cautious, which is very useful on the battlefield, but this time you can put aside your doubts."
The commander asked, "Could it be that the shields of our sturdy warriors cannot stop those ice balls as big as pebbles?"
"Just some ridiculous tricks."
"I see."
The deputy took the order and immediately went to do what the commander had asked.
"A black snake will strangle a white tree."
The commander looked towards the direction of the ferry, muttering words like a spell.
The black snake is the common symbol of the Haradrim and the Umbar pirates, and they are united by this belief.
The symbol of Umbar is two golden snakes entwined around a scepter, the symbol of Harad is an Ouroboros with its head and tail connected, and the symbol of Near Harad is a thick black snake.
No matter how it changes, it can't be separated from snakes.
This is also why the Dongyi people think they are abnormal.
These guys just play with snakes every day.
As for the White Tree - of course it is the symbol of Gondor, it originated from the white tree planted on the lawn of the White City Palace, which, like the Maelstrom Tree, came from the holy land of Valinor.
Currently, this is the only tree left in the entire Middle-earth.
"What would taking a body away change?"
Harnen River Ferry.
This area of ​​the riverbank was always strictly guarded to prevent enemy spies from sneaking in from the other side.
The same is true today.
But what is different from the past is that this time many soldiers came with missions.
"Wanted is the blue-robed wizard who abducted the bodies of the court wizard and Gondor prisoners. Be careful, this man is good at using bows and arrows, and can also throw ice balls as big as stones to harass you."
Levi felt speechless as he listened to the rumors about this Harad gathering place.
Isn't this talking about Alatar? He also robbed prisoners like himself?
What a coincidence.
By the way, what about the court wizard? It can't be another blue-robed wizard Palando, right? These two guys are really... one is the advisor of King Khand, and the other is the court wizard of Harad. They are doing really well.
However, judging from the news, the mental state of the wizards on Harald's side does not seem to be very good, otherwise they would not have been "kidnapped".
Amid the urgent wanted notices for the blue-robed wizard, Levi swaggered with the Gondorian general on his back, away from the strictly guarded ferry bridge where people could walk directly, to another part of the river bank, and he made a small wooden boat on the spot, placed the still sleeping Gondorian general in the back, sat in the front himself, and started rowing north.
While rowing leisurely, Levi couldn't stop sighing.
Alatar is a good wizard. Thanks to him for helping to divert most of the attention, the ferry operation went so smoothly.
Perhaps this is the wizard's foresight.
Thanks to Shushan Youdao for the 3,000 points reward, thanks to the friends who voted, thank you for your support!
