The warrior in armor casting spells in the back,
The priest fighting in the front wielding a meteor hammer.
The astrologer with a longbow in hand provided support,
There was also a thief who hid his body and kept throwing magic props.
Although this combination was so weird that people wanted to complain about it from all aspects, they had to admit that they were indeed very strong. It only took about ten minutes to kill more than 20 goblins, but... the sequelae were a bit serious.
"Haven't you recovered yet?"
Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly at the pale-faced Astrology Sister lying on the stone. After the battle, Fina cancelled the "Aura of Courage" blessing, and after that, the Astrology Sister and Katie looked at the bloody corpses in front of them and their faces suddenly changed. Then they ran to the river and started vomiting.
This is normal. After all, these two are truly spoiled young ladies. I'm afraid they have never even killed a chicken on a daily basis.
In contrast...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but glance at Fina, who was humming a song while squatting by the river to clean her weapons. At this moment, the young priestess was still gentle and elegant, and looked no different from when he first met her.
Of course, apart from the meteor hammer in her hand that was used to clean the blood.
"I, I usually focus on providing support from the rear!"
Noticing Fang Zheng's gaze, Fina blushed slightly and stammered in defense.
"But... that... you see, doesn't the canon record that the goddess also wields a sharp blade to slay dragons? So..."
"I'm just a little curious."
Frankly speaking, Fang Zheng was a little surprised at first to see Fina being so skilled in close combat. But he immediately accepted it after thinking about it. After all, Fina was a pilgrim priest, and more importantly, she was a beautiful girl. If she didn't have any ability to protect herself, she would have been captured and eaten by bandits.
But even so, seeing this priestess wielding the meteor hammer so skillfully and smashing the goblins' heads into pieces, Fang Zheng still felt a little uncomfortable...
"By the way...what was the situation then?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at Hellion. The female warrior who had been so powerful before was now lying on the ground, snoring loudly, looking like she hadn't slept for several days.
"Is that the Wild Hunt Warlock?"
"That's the Wild Hunt Warlock."
Katie seemed to have recovered now. At least her voice didn't sound as weak as before.
"Some people in Vanriel are born with dragon blood. It is said that they have horns on their heads when they are born. When these children grow to a certain stage, their parents will cut off the horns on their heads and integrate them into weapons. In this way, the descendants of dragon blood can have a weapon connected to their blood to fight... But this way of fighting seems to be very burdensome on the mental level..."
"I understand the reason...but why the sword?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly.
"In the battle just now, she should have used her mental power to condense the fire element and then possessed and manipulated it to attack. In this case, wouldn't it be better to make it into a staff or something?"
"I heard that it's because the Wild Hunt Warlocks are so focused on the battle that they won't react to any attacks from the outside world. Moreover, if the weapons connected to their bloodline are destroyed, they themselves will also suffer serious damage. So..."
"I see."
After Katie's explanation, Fang Zheng finally understood why the other party dressed as a warrior even though he was a spellcaster. Unlike mages who had a variety of spells, this "Wild Hunt Warlock" seemed to be really specialized in only one element, and when launching an attack, their consciousness would be attached to the elemental body, thus ignoring the protection of the main body. In addition, once the weapons that were "blood-related" to them were destroyed, they would also cause harm to the person, so of course the weapons used as vehicles had to be as sturdy as possible.
I didn't expect this kind of operation existed.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng stood up, stretched, and then looked around.
"Well, now that we have rested, let's move on."
"Mr. Fang Zheng."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the sister astrologist stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice.
"Then, what should we do with the goblin corpses?"
"Just leave it here. There are plenty of scavengers in the forest. Let them contribute something back to nature. But... before that, I need to investigate something first."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng came to the goblin corpses again, then squatted down, picked up a scimitar, and observed them carefully.
"Any questions, Mr. Founder?"
"There's something wrong with this knife."
"wrong?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the other girls gathered around curiously, regardless of the tragic state of the goblin corpses.
"Is there something wrong with this knife?"
"Although races like goblins and elves like to use spoils of war in battle, don't you think this knife is a little too new?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the knife and observed the sunlight carefully.
"It's even oiled. It's not something that a group of people whose IQ can't even calculate that one plus one equals two can do. And the patterns on it..."
Fang Zheng reached out his hand and wiped off the blood and mud on the blade. Then, a silvery and gorgeous pattern immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.
"If a goblin has this ability, he should just become an artist, right?"
"This looks like an elf pattern!"
Looking at the pattern on the blade in front of her, Fina suddenly screamed. She widened her eyes in surprise and stared at the scimitar in front of her in disbelief.
"How is this possible? Could it be that an elf was defeated by a goblin? This... this doesn't make sense at all!"
It was normal for Fina to be so surprised. After all, the forest was the territory of the elves. The elves living in the forest not only had magical archery skills, but also could communicate with nature and animals, and cast some unique spells of the elves. Although the elves were not completely invincible in the forest, they were not something that could be defeated by creatures like goblins.
"Anyway, just investigate and you'll find out, Nymph."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nymph, who was holding Charmander, hurried to his side.
"Search around to see if there are any clues."
"yes!"
As she spoke, Nymph reached out to press her ears, and soon, circles of light appeared in her eyes again. Then Nymph was silent for a moment, and then suddenly raised her head.
"Found it. Five hundred meters to the northeast, there are a large number of goblins' life wave reactions, as well as several unknown life forms' wave feedback! The vital signs are very weak!"
"Northeast?"
After hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked towards the direction of the snow-capped mountains.
"Since we are here to save people, there is no need to worry about all this trouble... You guys can rest here. After you have rested, come find me with Nymph. I will deal with these annoying guys."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a flash of magical light before their eyes, and the next moment Fang Zheng disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace.
