Chapter 30 Today is a holiday, I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore* …
*
"I'm sorry, brother, I attacked you."
Sean apologized to me in a panic, his hair stuck to his cheeks, looking very pitiful. I knew he was not out of guilt, but out of fear that I would punish him, but it didn't matter, it wasn't a big deal.
"It's okay, can you get up on your own?"
Sean nodded and stood up. Andy and Anka looked at him warily, fearing that he would go berserk again. The little wolf cub stared at his hands uncomfortably, wondering what he was thinking.
"Okay, tell me what happened. Where are the Knight Commander and the others? And why are you like this?"
Having said that, I have almost grasped the context of the matter. When I let him lick my hand clean, I took the opportunity to inject some power into his body.
When I was exploring, I sensed a familiar scent.
The little wolf cub came back to his senses. "...When we entered the forest, the knight commander said there was a strange smell ahead, so he asked us to stay where we were while he went to investigate. After waiting for a while, the patrolling knights heard the sound of fighting ahead, so we rushed over immediately."
"The ground was covered in blood. The Knight Commander was long gone. Only fragments of his armor were found."
The strength of a knight depends not only on his own power, but also on weapons and armor. A small city like this naturally cannot have the Knight Commander's original equipment, so he just used a set of high-quality armor as a substitute.
It seems that ordinary armor is always prone to disasters and cannot withstand the ravages of battle. I listened to him continue in silence.
"After that, the Knights had a disagreement. Half of them thought that the Knight Commander should not have gone far and should be rescued as soon as possible. The other half thought that even the Knight Commander was in danger, so we should retreat in time and contact the church before discussing it. The two sides talked for a while and finally decided to go back first. But on the way, we encountered a mad two-headed ogre. It was slaughtering monsters and immediately attacked us after discovering us. The knights resisted, and in the chaotic battle, we found a two-headed ogre's nest deep in the forest."
The little wolf cub's expression looked very ugly, as if he was thinking of something bad.
"The remaining two ogres smelled blood and rushed over to surround the Knights. In the end, the Knights were defeated and dragged away by them."
"Then why are you safe and sound?"
Hearing Anka's doubtful voice, the little wolf opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
I interrupted their question and answer: "Okay, I understand the details, follow me."
"But Lord Saint! What he said is unclear. Even a well-equipped knight can't resist the attack of the two-headed ogre. Why can he——"
"Okay, I said, stop."
Hearing what I said, Anka glared at the other person fiercely and closed his mouth reluctantly. Sean looked at me, and I reached out to touch his head, but found that he was now much taller than me.
After a brief hesitation, the little wolf lowered his head and placed it in my palm. I raised my eyebrows and rubbed his bloody hair. The rough texture was a bit prickly.
Oh, I thought to myself, it looks like I have to give the little wolf a bath again when I get back.

The two-headed ogre comes from the beast god.
In order to obtain powerful soldiers, this warlike and bloodthirsty god mixed his own blood with the soil to create this perverted creature.
The two-headed ogre has an incredibly powerful digestive ability, which it transforms into extraordinary recovery power.
Even if you chop off its head, its limbs can regenerate as long as its heart has not completely stopped beating. In short, it is a very difficult monster to deal with.
With the fall of the Beast God, these hideous monsters that frightened everyone disappeared. Without the support of the gods, they were beaten by everyone and soon became extinct.
Therefore, if there really is a two-headed ogre here, then there is only one possibility. There is the crystallization of the beast god's divine power here, in other words, there is an extremely rare copy here.
The players must have been so happy when they found out. But with them around, they couldn't get the good stuff, so I'll just take the dungeon for them.
As soon as I had this thought, a ding-dong sound came in front of my eyes, and a prompt box lit up. The glaring red surrounding the prompt box was enough to blind one's eyes.
[The player [Melancholy Big Belly] has sent you a call for help, please rescue him in time! ]
This is a special help signal flare from the Lord of Glory camp, and can only be used by players with a Respect or higher favorability. Once it is detonated, it will immediately attract all the NPCs from the Lord of Glory camp to come to the rescue.
The annoying thing is that this flare is a bound item and cannot be sold. It is very expensive and can only be exchanged for reputation, and you need to have a certain reputation value to use it.
It was already difficult to get to the Respect level, not to mention that you had to use this thing twice. In short, very few players would redeem it.
I have seen players cursing the planners in the forum more than once for designing such crappy items, but it has to be said that expensive items have their uses.
The moment the flare exploded, Andy and Anka turned around quickly, like dogs smelling meat, and looked somewhere with burning eyes.
Even the dragon next to me was looking straight in that direction, contrary to his usual behavior.
No one spoke, but some things could be understood without even saying anything.
I nodded solemnly, watching the three of them rush out at a speed that was simply breathtaking.
Alas, as expected.
The followers of the Lord of Radiance are a bunch of righteous fools, except for that dragon.
*
The distance of the rescue bomb was not far, and we arrived at the destination quickly.
The corpses of monsters were scattered all over the place. Whether it was the ubiquitous green rabbits or the ferocious lords, they were all torn to pieces by some giant monster.
Several players stood among the corpses of Warcraft, looking nervously at the murderer who had done all this. The murderer had his back to them, lying prone among the corpses, eating with big mouthfuls, looking completely unconcerned.
Hearing the sound, one of the heads suddenly turned around and grinned at us with a mouth full of blood.
At the same time, there was also the stench of its body, as if it had not taken a bath for hundreds of years. A player covered his nose and vomited painfully, his face twisted and he nodded in the air several times, and his expression suddenly became relaxed.
Well, when faced with something unacceptable, adjusting your sensory sensitivity is a good idea.
I shrugged and met the monster's scarlet eyes. Blood dripped from its yellow fangs, creating ripples in the blood pooled on the ground.
The scene was terrifying, strange and oppressive. The knights' faces changed slightly. Andy stood beside me, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, and whispered its name.
"Two-headed ogre."
I glanced at Sean. His face was tense, and I didn't know what he was thinking. It didn't matter what he was thinking, after all, you see, the real owner had already discovered us.
*
The two-headed ogre put down the corpse in his hand and stood up. The fat flesh was covered with filth, and the deformed head connected to the huge body created a strong sense of oppression.
The players swallowed their saliva, and the leader among them - I guess he was [Melancholy Big Belly], hurriedly asked us for help.
"Mr. Knight, Lord Saint. We were adventuring outside when we suddenly ran into this high-level monster, and many of our companions were injured. Please help clean it up."
That's not a problem. I gave Andy a look, and he drew his sword and strode forward. The two-headed ogre picked up the boulder next to him and threw it at him. Andy grunted and chopped it into pieces.
The brute force of the two-headed ogre was useless in front of it. It took more than a dozen rounds to kill the two-headed ogre, which aroused cheers from the players.
The worries on their faces immediately disappeared. [Melancholy Big Belly] thanked him earnestly: "Thank you for your help, Master Saint. You saved me. As long as I can stay by your side, I am willing to do anything!"
The player's mouth is a lie.
I would rather believe that the Lord of Light lost to the God of Darkness and planned to run naked in public than believe what the players said, "I'm willing to do anything."
Not to mention that there were things to come. I was afraid that these players would come to steal my loot, and was about to trick them away when the news rang in my ears.
The azure light screen slowly unfolded in front of him, and the system characters were clear and standard.
[Mission Name: Rescue the Knight Commander (Main Path)]
[Task Introduction: In order to maintain the glory of the church, the Knight Commander threw himself into battle again without recovering from his injuries, and thus fell into a trap. Please find him in time to prevent something worse from happening. As the Son of Glory, you are about to face danger, and you will be respected by everyone. Invite the believers in front of you to help you find the Knight Commander, and in return, they will receive a generous reward.]
[Additional requirements for the mission: Lead at least five players to participate in the mission. ]
[Task Reward: The specific reward for this mission will depend on the degree of completion of the player's participation. ]
At this moment, I regretted it.
If I were given another chance, I would never easily nod and allow Andy and the others to come and rescue people. I would never hand over the reward in my hand!
The players obviously also received the system message. Their eyes lit up and they looked at me expectantly.
I pulled the corner of my mouth and reluctantly accepted the matter. "Now the Knight Commander has been captured by the enemy, and the Knights are in doubt about their lives. We are in urgent need of help from new forces. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for our Lord?"
"Yes, yes, we are willing to die!"
Several players responded enthusiastically, fearing that they were a step late. They surrounded me and asked in unison: "Sir, what do you need us for?" "Sir, are you hungry or thirsty? Do you want something to eat?"
The last person saw that his lines had been snatched away, so he hurriedly followed up: "Don't worry, Master Saint, if you say go east, we will definitely go west. If you say to hit the tiger, we will definitely not hit the cat!"
Cats are so cute, why do you hit them?
I glanced at the player who spoke last, and he puffed out his chest, with pride written all over his face.
Well, I shouldn't have been so picky with idiots.
I smiled brightly. "With your help, this mission will surely be successfully completed. So let's act, fellow believers. The Knight Commander is waiting for you deep in the forest."
The players were afraid that the NPCs would take the lead, so they responded in a chaotic manner and rushed into the forest excitedly. No matter how much [Melancholy Big Belly] shouted, it was useless. The latter sighed and muttered, "It's really a problem to lead a wild group to play the game" and "I really want some teammates in a fixed group", while bowing and saying goodbye to me.
When his back disappeared behind the trees, Anka whispered, "Sir, is this really okay? The two-headed ogre is very powerful, I'm afraid they will have trouble defeating it."
"Don't worry, they have plenty of ways to save their lives. We just need to wait for news."
"information?"
The knight repeated the word with a confused look in his eyes. I did not explain and sat there waiting leisurely for a while, only to hear a sudden wail from somewhere not far away. The two knights instinctively looked over there. I raised my chin and jumped off the stone.
"Here, the news."
There is a good saying on the Players Forum.
The so-called players are creatures that go wherever there is danger. They may not always find treasures, but they can always find traps and monsters. They can be called human landmine-stepping machines.
At this moment, the players once again taught the NPC a shocking lesson with their actual actions. This is really cause for celebration.
