Chapter 243

At night, the dark forest was shrouded in boundless darkness, and the seeping cry of the night owl added a few gloomy and terrible flavors to the quiet forest.

Soloto slowly opened his eyes. He had just slept in the treetops for exactly three hours, accurate to seconds.

The ruling Samurai can not eat, drink or sleep for three days and three nights, but also maintain a clear consciousness and sufficient combat effectiveness. As long as they need it, they can close their eyes and sleep in any environment and wake up on time. It doesn't matter whether they are standing or lying. Soloto slept under the waterfall for two hours. In contrast, it was almost no difficulty for him to rest on the fork of a tree.

The dense canopy covered the cold and dim moonlight, and the dark forest could not see five fingers. In the completely dark environment, the moon elves with dim vision can't see the surrounding scenery. Soloto worked the holy power silently, his eyes gradually lit up with white gold brilliance, and all the details around him became clear, but he didn't see the ferocious wolves.

Level 4 paladins are promoted to judge warriors. They must practice holy residence. They tear their muscles and bones inch by inch, and then heal a little bit with magic and secret medicine, so as to hone their body and soul in unimaginable pain.

After cultivation, the warrior's body can be as soft as cotton or as hard as fine iron. Ordinary soldiers holding battle axes can't open their muscles and bones at one time. The ruling warrior has overcome pain, loneliness and fear. His heart is as indestructible and crystal clear as a diamond, and has a keen intuition to understand danger and malice. In addition, in the process of healing the body, the residual holy power and the ruling warrior are integrated into each other. They can mobilize holy power and strengthen themselves like the fighting spirit of the knight. Their strength, perception, speed, agility, physical fitness, defense, and even element resistance and self-healing ability have reached an incredible level.

Holiness resides in the body and integrates with the body and soul, which is the art of holiness! From then on, the ruling warrior stepped into the ranks of extraordinary people and had the status of Silver Knight.

Soloto strengthened his senses with holy power. He could not only see the surrounding environment in the dark, but also hear the sound of insects crawling. However, he could not detect the movement of ferocious wolves, which made him confused and worried about gain and loss at the same time.

The ferocious wolves tangled with soloto day and night. During this period, soloto tried to trap and kill several fierce wolves to reduce the pressure of the rescue team, but when he jumped off the branch, the wolves immediately scattered and fled and hid in the dark woods. From then on, no fierce wolf appeared in soloto's vision, but the howls of the wolves always echoed around him.

While avoiding confrontation with powerful opponents, it is the habit of wolves to adopt the tactics of tracking and harassment. However, soloto feels that these ferocious wolves are unusual, and their behavior is full of doubts.

There are 21 ferocious wolves in this group. They are so powerful that there is no need to avoid any prey. In fact, if the wolves attack regardless of casualties, soloto can't guarantee that he will survive. However, no matter how much he teases, the fierce wolf always hides in the dark. Soloto did not feel the hostility of the fierce wolf.

The ferocious wolf neither attacks nor retreats. Soloto can't catch it. If he wants to throw it away, he can't throw it away. Finally, he can only stay on the treetop and wait for rescue.

However, soloto is more interested in the wolf pack. He believes that there are two situations that can explain the abnormal behavior of ferocious wolves. They are either protecting a strange thing or being manipulated by wizards! But whatever the reason, soloto has to find out!

As one of the three clergy, paladins' promotion rules are different from priests and paladins. Before level 5, paladins can be promoted to level 4 by their own beliefs and trials, but after becoming a ruling warrior, paladins can only be promoted through divine grace, and there are two sources of divine grace, purifying wizards or fighting orcs and monsters.

It's too dangerous to fight against the wild orcs. It's not easy for soloto to become a high-level priest. He won't easily lose his life in the hands of ORC monsters unless he has to. However, the life expectancy of the ruling samurai is relatively short, and generally they can't live beyond 65. Soloto is 47 years old this year. There are only two ways in front of him, either promotion or old death.

Some wizards have terrible abilities, but wizards are often alone. They have no backup, no cover and no inheritance. At best, they are just farmers with extraordinary power. The degree of danger is far less than that of organized Orc tribes, and the divine grace obtained by purifying wizards is very rich, which is far more than eliminating Orc monsters.

Therefore, once the clergy finds the trace of the wizard, it is almost as happy as being favored by the Lord of glory. Ordinary priests usually give the glory of purifying wizards to bishops, excluding paladins. They are used to eating alone.

Soloto decided to report the changes of the dark forest directly to Archbishop Lazarus. Whether these fierce wolves were guarding some strange thing or hiding a wizard, he could not find a target in the vast forest, nor could he solve the problem alone. Archbishop Lazarus could mobilize thousands of paladins and priests to search the area. If you really find a valuable goal and the Archbishop rewards you for your meritorious deeds, you will certainly benefit soloto. If you can get the high-level divine crystal poured by the Archbishop himself, he will be satisfied.

In fact, soloto has made a mark. When he jumps on the branches, he secretly uses force to crack the inside of the branches, and those branches will soon wither and become the most obvious road signs. But soloto was not sure whether the abundant void water element could repair these branches, so he wanted to catch a fierce wolf alive.

But the fierce wolf is gone!

Solo checked in zhuanshengli, strengthened his hearing to the limit, and couldn't feel the movement of the fierce wolf, but he heard the footsteps of two people.

Before long, two figures appeared in soloto's vision. The man in front was tall and strong. The fine iron hammer in his hand was covered with red plasma. The man behind him held two bright short swords and listened to him cry from a distance: "master soloto, are you okay?"

"Victor?!" Soloto slid down from the tree and asked in surprise, "didn't you go back to thorn thorn manor?"

"I was going back to thorn thorn manor. But... Since the ferocious wolves are staring at you, I may take this opportunity to find a surviving guard." Victor put his swords into the scabbard, pointed to Renault and said, "fortunately, I found Renault in time, otherwise he might die in the dark forest."

Looking at Victor with a happy face, soloto was in doubt.

Aristocrats value two things, one is interests, the other is reputation. Victor ordered his soldiers to break up and protect the trainee Knights of the SoLIM family, which was in line with the interests of the nobility. However, sacrificing the soldiers' lives would damage the Lord's reputation, so Victor advocated searching and rescuing the soldiers in order to save his reputation. However, finding 20 soldiers in the vast forest is no less difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack. Soloto thought Victor was just pretending. He didn't expect that Victor really saved a soldier.

Victor took risks alone and went deep into the jungle to search and rescue the soldiers, which was not in line with the consistent practice of the nobility. Soloto inevitably had doubts, but after he saw the soldiers' body, he couldn't help but move in his heart and asked, "is this warrior the fierce soldier?"

"That's right."

Viktor nodded happily and said, "I have two ferocious warriors under my command, one is Nelson and the other is Renault. Thanks to the master's attention to the ferocious wolf, I'm afraid Renault will be lost in the dark forest even if he hasn't been bitten by the ferocious wolf for another day."

Renault bowed solemnly to soloto. "Thank you, master."

At present, the Randall family has no knights, and it is reasonable for Victor to risk rescuing his ferocious soldiers. Soloto waved his hand. "Don't thank me. I didn't help much." Then he asked, "Renault, where are your companions? What happened to you after we left?"

"We broke through the goblin's encirclement and ran to the West for some time. As a result, we met a whole group of ferocious wolves. The brothers ran for their lives, and the team dispersed like this. Later, I heard the call of the adult, and then I joined the adult. The adult took me around and found no other people, so we gave up." Renault said stiffly.

Soloto nodded and said to victor, "it's hard to find anyone who hasn't been found now. By the way, did you meet those fierce wolves when you came here?"

"No." Victor shook his head and said, "I can hear the sound within 500 meters. I haven't found a fierce wolf from beginning to end."

"It seems that the ferocious wolves have left from other places..."

Soloto was relieved. He still suspected that Victor was the reason for the evacuation of the wolves, but if Victor really got the strange things, the wolves would never let them go. Victor can avoid the fierce wolf on the treetop, but the fierce soldier can't walk on the branch. Since he follows Victor safely, it is enough to show that they didn't encounter the wolves and didn't get strange things.

"Let's go back."

Victor climbed up the tree, identified the direction and took the lead towards the edge of the forest.

At dawn, the three walked out of the forest and met them with several barking hounds. Then Victor saw a temporary camp. The barking of the hound startled the people in the camp. Two slim figures rushed over first and rushed straight into Victor's arms.

The twin sisters wore scales and long swords hanging from their waist. Sister Elena buried her head on Victor's shoulder, while sister Alice hugged Victor's arm tightly and said in a trembling voice, "are you all right, sir?! that's great!"

Victor patted the Elena sisters on the back and comforted them, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

"Ha ha! Victor, master soloto, I knew you could come out."

Clifton came over in armor and laughing. The Cruser Knight of the Schultz family followed him with several squires.

"Lord Randall, master soloto, you're fine." The Crusoe knight was also heavily armed. He was obviously relieved when he saw victor and soloto.

"I'm sorry to worry you." Victor loosened his maid and said apologetically.

"Lord Randall, master soloto, we are going to go into the forest to find you. Since you have come out, why don't you go to the camp to eat first."

Lailila said nearby. She was wearing leather armor, carrying a long sword and dressed as a female swordsman. Victor smiled and said, "Lord lailila, you have become a trainee knight? What about Lucian?"

Leilila made a knightly salute to victor and said with half joy and half sorrow, "yes, sir. I just realized the fighting spirit yesterday. It's just... Lucian hasn't awakened yet."

"It doesn't matter. I'll wait for him for 10 days." Victor nodded and said, "let's talk to the camp first."

After the three had filled their stomachs, Victor began to describe their experiences in the forest. When it comes to the many ferocious wolves on the edge of the forest, leilila and kruser's faces change greatly. If the ferocious wolves enter human territory, not only thorn manor will suffer, but Baron Schultz will also suffer huge losses.

Clifton looked at Renault and said politely, "Victor, I'm afraid the lost soldiers are more or less dangerous..."

"Yes." Victor sighed hypocritically and said, "I can't sacrifice more people for my soldiers... I'll make good care of their families. Let's rest at thorn thorn manor for a few days and go on our way."

Soloto said, "Victor, Clifton, I won't accompany you for the rest of the journey. Although the ferocious wolves usually don't leave their territory, in case, I'm going to call the paladins to stay in thorn manor for a period of time to prevent the invasion of ferocious wolves."

"Thank you so much, master." Knight Crusoe said gratefully.

Soloto nodded, took the stationed priest to the distance and whispered. Victor was secretly funny. In order to separate the ruling warriors, he had to expose groups of alchemical war mastiffs, and soloto's reaction was expected. However, the church was doomed to find no clue about the fierce wolf. Victor ordered the alchemy militia to quickly eliminate the traces, and then return to Randall's land by themselves. The forest clearing will soon be occupied by goblins or jackals.

As for how many people the church needs to lose to explore the dark forest, Victor can't control it. If they are lucky, it's not a waste of time to find fine gold mine, white crystal mine or Kui root, although it depends on luck.

Although it's a pity to give up the resources of the dark forest, Victor has achieved all his goals and awakened his new talent - activation.

Victor tested the activation in the forest camp. He found that after the life attribute was increased to 26 points, the duration of overrun, popularity, oversensitivity and Apocalypse increased exponentially. Now the duration of overrun reached 70 minutes, 35 minutes of popularity, 100 minutes of oversensitivity and 15 minutes of apocalypse. With existing wind elements, he can shoot 15 arrows in a row, In addition, the use of the blue blade in the Apocalypse state could only last for 21 seconds, but now it has reached 38 seconds. Once Victor uses activation, his physical strength and energy are completely replenished, and these abilities will be activated again. Under normal conditions, it can be used every 5 hours when activated, and once every 1 hour and 50 minutes when hidden.

With the activation talent, Victor's combat effectiveness and survivability have been significantly improved. Unfortunately, after the water element Rune was repaired, Victor could no longer see himself, and his interaction with the void water element was interrupted.

Victor plans to study the secret form of Golden Toad slowly after returning to the territory. He vaguely feels that he has reached a bottleneck period. Only when he enters the internal vision state can his blood be further purified.

Five days later, Lucian spent 10 training potions and failed to become a trainee knight after all. The paladins of the church also rushed to thorn thorn manor. They built camps and stored materials on the edge of the dark forest. It is said that there are more priests coming back.

For a time, thorn thorn manor was surging, and Victor, the initiator, had patted his ass and left.
