Chapter 0010: The Traitorous Warrior
Coco shook her head: "No... I shouldn't be able to. My magic is very weak, and I still cannot create such soldiers..."
It appeared there again
You ... ... don't come over ... ... Xiaobai! I am ... ... I am your creator! You ... ... you are not allowed to come over ... ... not allowed ... ...
Prepared, the members of the Mermaid's Song Guild stepped out of the guild's doors at dusk
Ga ... ... Ga ... ...
The town of Pelican appears somewhat tranquil in the evening
Moreover, a small wooden round shield was also included in the box
Just as Airo was suppressing Blade's tone, the target finally appeared in the direction of the town
Wait a moment! It is moving too fast, wait for it to stop
Blaid looked at his equipment, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It feels so light! President, is there no problem with this? It's like paper..."
As she was speaking, Bafei flew over from behind and began to circle around Keke, scattering the fragrance onto her robe
Aero snapped his fingers: "Blade, prepare for alert."
Coco, standing in the middle of the road, appeared utterly helpless. She occasionally glanced at the places where the crowd was hiding, and then looked towards the direction of the small town. It was evident that the face of this young girl was filled with expressions of fear and panic.
Just a little
Coco, can your undead soldiers cast spells? Regardless of the type of magic, whether it is life magic, death magic, or even the most basic spells, it is acceptable
Aero's hand gently and skillfully landed on Coco's head, slowly rubbing it. The little girl raised her head, looking at Aero with a face full of tension
Coco was truly frightened; she seemed to finally realize that she could turn around and run away, even abandoning the broken branch in her hand, and she immediately wanted to flee.
undead soldier
Alright, alright
Blaid let out a sigh, consciously raising his small round shield, standing solemnly at the very front of the entire team, his body on high alert. Airo could even see the muscles in his neck twitching rhythmically.
And the president of the book club! It feels very handy! This shield too, Bafei! With this shield, I can protect you even better in the future! Look, look!
Its steps were unsteady, the skeletal body moved under the framework of magic, producing that haunting sound of crack—crack.
The squad moved quickly and vigilantly towards the outskirts of Pelican Town, with Airo maintaining his alertness. While Airo was cautious of the rear, he remained attentive to other directions, ensuring that there would be no mistakes throughout the entire process
The tailor shop owner and the tool shop owner almost simultaneously delivered the equipment. After sending the two away, Airo eagerly called for Blade, asking him to put on this set of gear
Aero led Blade, Bafei, and Keke to stroll around the town, returning to the spot where Keke was captured yesterday
Coco's gaze wandered back and forth between Airo and Napa
This is good. Now let's try your weapon again
Coco gently nodded, unsure whether the girl was being dismissive or merely pretending to be dismissive
Aero scrutinized Coco for two seconds, his expression still maintaining a polite smile. He then turned to Napa, who was preparing to rest her head on his, and said with a smile: "You can continue to stand guard, as someone needs to keep watch."
The task of guarding the entrance is indeed very important, and I hope the vice president can be stationed at the headquarters. This is to ensure that there is someone available to receive any incoming tasks. Is that possible
Opening the box of the long staff owner, Blade took out a one-handed hammer. The wooden handle had been carefully polished, featuring grooves suitable for gripping. The hammerhead was dark and shiny. Airo did not understand much about metallurgy, but it seemed to be quite good
You will serve as a bait here for a while; I need a target
Coco's head peeked out from behind the railing once again, and the little girl’s eyes were constantly moving, clearly deep in thought
Very well, we will now retreat outside the town. Blythe, remain vigilant during the retreat; there must be absolutely no slackening. (Fairy language) Barfi, continue to maintain the fragrance, it does not need to be too strong, a lighter scent will suffice
However, when it comes to life-threatening situations, the work speed of the townspeople is no less than that of the big cities
Aero shook his head: "Everyone has their own area of expertise. With such a large physique, if you were to act as bait, the fish would surely scatter away."
This is good
What happened? ... ... President brother?
The little girl immediately recoiled as if she had been electrocuted upon noticing Airo's gaze, but just as she was about to leave—
Under the command of Airo, Blade began to slowly retreat while holding a round shield. The flower fairy also retracted her wings, allowing the fragrance to become faint yet not entirely dissipate.
A group of people moved towards the back of the haystack, but just as Coco was about to hide in there as well, Airo reached out and stopped her
At this moment, Coco became anxious. The necromancer's expression turned tense, and he pointed at Airo with a small twig, shouting nervously: "What do you mean?! I have known all along... I have known that none of you so-called guild members are good people! You want to use me too, don't you? I... I..."
The icy blue light did not cease for any words from Coco; its speed had reached its limit, and it was now less than fifty meters away from Coco
Pelican Town, like many remote small towns, appears quite leisurely at first glance
On the side, Blade, carrying a hammer and holding a wooden shield, said with an expression that showed no cunning, "Don't worry! With the president here, all problems will be solved. The president is really impressive!"
President! I have succeeded!
A few seconds later, the little girl gently nodded her head and slowly walked down the stairs
Aero was unsure whether it was his words that had an effect or if the little girl had truly come to an understanding. After gently rubbing her head for a moment, Coco's tension and anxiety about the books finally eased a little.
The fairy language, Parfait, begins to emit a fragrance. A subtle scent is sufficient; it is not a good idea to lure someone out all at once.
How do you feel
Having spoken, Airo once again patted Coco on the shoulder, then took Parfait and Blade to hide behind the straw pile, holding their breath and waiting quietly.
After approximately one hour, the group finally exited Pelican Town. Airo glanced at the pile of straw accumulated in the adjacent field, gestured towards Blade, and spoke a few words to Buffy.
However, the undead soldier across the way showed no signs of restraint; its footsteps gradually began to quicken. Once its form vanished from the glow of the town's lights, the only thing visible was a shadow flickering with an icy blue light, moving at an ever-increasing speed
She still clutched the tattered little wooden branch in her hand; although her steps were still slightly unsteady, she appeared to be quite spirited overall
No, we will not go in
Aero reached out and patted Blade's chest, smiling as he said, "Don't worry, don't you believe what the president said? You've seen the slimes' abilities to resist slashing and smashing before."
The undead soldier let out a low, guttural roar, his right hand gripping the sword trembling slightly as his body began to move straight towards Coco
As its head lifted, those hollow skeletal eyes accurately fixed on the cocoa serving as bait in the center of the road
Aero was well-prepared, putting on a cloak and patiently waiting for the situation over there
... ...
Aero did not respond but translated it in the same manner. This made Blade even happier, as he carefully protected the fairy on his shoulder with the palm of his round shield, resembling someone who is cautiously guarding their most precious treasure
It was also at this moment that the fragrance of the parfait had filled the air. Airo nodded and smiled at the little girl, saying, "How fragrant! A little girl as sweet-smelling as you will be welcomed wherever she goes. How could I bear to let such a delightful little sister face danger? Don't you agree?"
Aero smiled as he translated Brad's words, and Barfi also had a happy expression as she immediately turned to Aero: "(Fairy language) President! Do I have any equipment? I also want to help this Brad egg!"
Blaid tilted his head and thought for a moment, then immediately nodded as if he had made a firm decision: "Hmm! I understand, I believe in the president!"
Cocoa! Are you not coming to help us tonight?
Beneath the dim streetlights, a shadow flickering with blue light gradually emerges from the darkness
Coco raised the broken branch in her hand; perhaps out of fear, she did not even have the awareness to run back, and could only stand there stiffly, inching backward.
The dark street appears even colder and more damp after losing the presence of people. Although it is summer, this street devoid of any figures feels so frigid.
In just a single day, all the equipment and weapons that Airo needed were completed, which moved Airo somewhat, and he even felt a slight regret for having deliberately deceived them.
The skeleton, which hinted at death, stood before her, raising the rusted sword high in its hand
Rest assured, the so-called bait will not truly put you in danger. As soon as your little white appears, we will come out. You must understand that you are the founder of that guy; with you present, the other party will be even more relaxed and vigilant, won't they
Aero appeared to be full of confidence, as he pinched his hat and lowered the brim a little
Shh, don't speak, it's here! Prepare!
That is quite different. Yesterday was for publicity, and publicity is meant to showcase the most approachable, harmless, and beneficial side of oneself. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this cat looks quite cute, Airo wouldn't have taken it out.
Standing in front of that dilapidated small building, Coco raised her hand and pointed at the window where she was captured yesterday: "Inside there... should we go in?"
The expression of this cat and the picture book appears quite interesting: "Did I not go out with you yesterday? Why do you want me to guard the door again today?"
You all... hurry here! Come quickly! I command you by my name! Release the summoning! Release, release, release!
Quickly approach the cocoa over here
According to Airo's standards, this set of slime leather armor is simply beyond his expectations
Although this small town is usually not bustling, due to the issue of the fallen soldiers yesterday, it is barely past 6 o'clock, and the sky has not yet completely darkened, there is not even a single dog to be seen on the entire street
The butterfly flew out of Brad's pocket, flapping its wings. Before long, a faint fragrance of flowers began to waft through the entire street
The night gradually deepens
As the night deepens, a more profound dark magic begins to coalesce in the surrounding air
Oh dear
"President," Brad seemed unable to bear it any longer, "This little sister is truly too frightened. How about... I have Barfi give me a fragrance, and I will take her place?"
Aero raised his head and looked at Coco, who was leaning against the railing on the second floor
Blaid furrowed his brow: "Ah? Fish? Are we fishing?"
Aero smiled as he watched Blade put on his leather armor and asked
Resolve the equipment issues, and then we will proceed with the actions
Unfortunately, her escape turned into a fall. ... By the time she lifted her head, covered in mud, and turned around ...
However, it is best to maintain a certain distance before fully understanding the nature of this magical beast.
There is not a single protruding needle in the workmanship, and the joints are well covered with slime leather. The pudding boss even took the effort to add color, ensuring that the overall hue of the leather armor does not appear odd; the brownish-yellow, resembling cowhide, is quite simple and allows for convenient movement
Eager to try, Blade was stopped by Airo, and he looked at the stern-faced Airo in astonishment. Even the parfait in his arms now wore a look of confusion.
