Chapter 24 Penny (1) 026 Penny (2) 027 Penny (3)
Green walked back into the room, looked at the clock on the wall, it was still a little early, and the old one-eyed hadn't opened the door yet.
For this batch of enchanted rifles, Green is very much looking forward to it. It has evolved into a firearm skeleton soldier with a combat power of [6.3], which is almost the strength of an intermediate apprentice knight. With such strength in the Kingdom Knights, he is definitely an elite soldier. , can be promoted to officer.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Green asked, but before he could open the door, the door had already been pushed open from the outside, and Vincent walked in carelessly with a girl in a leather armor.
Green glanced at Vincent, his eyes fell on the young and beautiful girl, and he immediately recognized that it was the girl who came in on horseback just now.
"Penny? Why are you back!" Green looked at the slim girl standing next to Vincent in surprise, and many memories immediately emerged in his mind.
The girl's name is Penny Wilson, the daughter of Uncle Vincent. Because her parents died, she lived in the castle. Her identity is somewhat similar to Green's predecessor, but Penny's father is the younger brother of Viscount Paul, and she seems to have a good relationship. Viscount Paul favored her very much, so her status in the castle also rose.
Because the two were in a similar situation at the beginning, Green and Penny established a good friendship until Penny was recommended by Viscount Paul to go to the Knights Academy in Faerûn the year before.
"Green, great, I didn't expect you to actually become a magician!" Penny immediately smiled when she saw Green, and stepped forward to pat Green on the shoulder very proudly, but because of her pretty appearance, she pretended to be old-fashioned, which made people a little bit Can't laugh or cry.
"Why are you back? The Knight Academy hasn't had spring break yet, right?" Green asked. He didn't reject this beautiful girl, and he felt a deep sense of closeness from the moment he saw it.
"I came back from a leave of absence. I heard that Li Lisa was almost kidnapped. I came back this time to find out who kidnapped Li Lisa and let those rats in the gutter know that the Wilson family is not easy to mess with!" Penny called out indignantly. Dao, a murderous look flashed in her eyes, it was obvious that after two years of training, she was no longer a little girl, and the strength of an intermediate apprentice knight made her full of confidence.
Green's face sank. He didn't think that a mid-level apprentice knight could overthrow a cult like the Tower of Yin Spirits, but he knew Penny's character, so he would definitely not be able to dissuade him, so he could only nod his head and said, "Then be careful, If you find anything, don't act rashly, notify me or Vincent immediately."
"Don't worry, I didn't eat plain rice at the Knight Academy for the past two years." After saying that, he glanced at Vincent as if he was demonstrating.
Then the three of them entered the room and sat down to chat about the past. They also discussed the kidnapping of Lilitha and the tower of the ghosts that suddenly disappeared.
Penny vowed to bring out all those lunatics in the Tower of Yin Spirits with a small fist...
Half an hour later, Vincent and Penny were sent away, and Green took a carriage to the old one-eyed shop.
As for Penny's tracing of the Tower of Yin Ling, Green does not have any hope for it. The Tower of Yin Ling is intertwined, and as a cult organization, it has existed for many years, and it is definitely not something that a fledgling girl can shake. As for Penny's safety, there is no need to worry too much, the intermediate apprentice knight is no longer weak, as long as you are smart, there will always be a chance to escape.
"Hahaha! Brother Green, you are finally here!" The old one-eyed saw Green pushed the door in and immediately greeted him with a big laugh. To be honest, Green didn't come to pick up the goods yesterday, which made him a little worried. Those thirty enchanted rifles were directly It came from the equipment department of the kingdom, not to mention the price of the gun itself. And the old one-eyed also promised a big man in the equipment department that this time it was just a test of the water, and there will be bigger orders in the future. If Green doesn't want it, although there is a deposit offset, he won't be able to lose any money, but there is still a surplus. The big man in the equipment department of the kingdom has lost points, leaving the impression of not being Garp, and it is even more difficult to do business.
Fortunately, what the old one-eyed worried about did not happen. Just one day later, Green came to the door. The two exchanged a few words, and immediately went to the basement to check the firearm. After confirming that it was correct, Green paid the balance. The enchanted rifle is owned by Green.
The old one-eyed smiled, counted the stack of gold pound notes and stuffed it into his pocket, not forgetting to sell himself and boast: "Brother, I pulled this batch of guns directly from the warehouse of the Kingdom's equipment department. It's cheap, if it wasn't for the channel, I would have bought some obsolete products at this price."
Green nodded frequently. He was very satisfied with the quality of the thirty enchanted rifles. Immediately, his mind moved and he cast spells silently. After five consecutive use of spiritism, he summoned fifteen skeleton soldiers in front of the old one-eyed, methodically. Open the box with the rifles, throw away the daggers and shields in his hands, and pick up the enchanted rifles one by one.
Silent spellcasting and spiritism summoning three skeletons at once is Green's latest advancement in magic.
As a Necromancer, summoning undead creatures is the main way of fighting, so quickly and secretly summoning undead creatures is the most important issue. In addition, after cultivating the meditation method, Green's spiritual power increased rapidly, which made him more flexible in controlling magic power, so that he could use spiritualism more flexibly and diversely. Of course, this is not his first creation. For true necromancers, quiet spellcasting and multiple soul-calling are all basic skills. Even a necromancer at the level of a great magician can summon thousands of undead army with one soul-calling.
But Green's magic really shocked the old one-eyed.
Originally, the old one-eyed thought that Green was just a new magic apprentice, but he didn't take Green to heart. Even when Green bought weapons, he regarded Viscount Paul as the real buyer behind him. At best, Green was just a character introduced by the Wilson family for specific operations. But he didn't expect Green's strength to be so terrifying. With his knowledge of the Necromancer, quiet spellcasting, and multiple soul-calling, these two skills, many advanced Necromancer apprentices can't do it as easily as Green.
What surprised the old one-eyed even more was that after more than a dozen skeleton soldiers with thick bones picked up their rifles and bullets, Green immediately used spiritualism in reverse, and sent these skeleton soldiers away. All disappeared in front of her eyes.
Old One-eyed sucked in a breath of cold air, and said in shock, "You sent all your guns to the undead world!" Then his face changed dramatically, and he looked at Green with a little more awe.
Obviously, in the eyes of the old one-eyed, Green's sending the enchanted rifle he bought with a lot of money into the undead world is definitely not a mess, so there is only one possibility. Those skeleton soldiers just now are all contracted undead creatures, not just summoned, wait for the next time. Green uses spiritualism, and these skeletons bring back those enchanted rifles. This method of transporting goods is very popular among necromancers who have fixed contract undead creatures, but like Green, who just became a magic apprentice, there are not many contract undead creatures.
026 Penny (2)
The old one-eyed thinks very arbitrarily that there is a powerful necromancer hidden behind Green, whose strength is hard to estimate, in short, very powerful, secretly acting as Green's teacher. Otherwise, how to explain that Green suddenly became a necromancer, and there are so many contracted undead creatures, which is not something a wild mage who has just started can have.
The old one-eyed thought he could see through Green's heels and feet, and couldn't help showing a strange smile.
And Green revealed this intentionally, also to deter the old one-eyed, so that the old profiteer and the **** hiding in the kingdom government don't have any crooked thoughts on him. As for what the old one-eyed thinks, he doesn't care at all, this kind of thing, the focus is on the imagination, the old one-eyed and others will help him automatically make up a lot of information. And in the end, they would never have thought that there were no masters behind Green, and those skeleton soldiers were not simple means of transportation. These enchanted rifles were equipped with those skeleton soldiers.
After completing the transaction, Green and the old one-eyed agreed to make the next transaction three months later, one hundred and fifty enchanted rifles plus an old-fashioned enchanted cannon.
Because he took things privately from the warehouse of the equipment department, even the big man behind the old one-eyed cannot be too reckless, so after completing this transaction, it must be postponed for a period of time, make up for the shortfall, and make up the book. Moreover, Green did not expect that the other party had a great appetite, not only dared to sell guns, but even dared to move the enchanted cannon. However, this time the enchanted cannon is not the latest model, but a second-hand product from seven or eight years ago, but it is well maintained.
However, Green is not sure whether the skeleton soldiers can control the cannon. Although he is very jealous of the power of the enchanted cannon, he only agreed to buy one to try, and the price of this cannon alone is worth the twenty latest enchanted rifles. s price.
On the way back, Green was sitting in the carriage, but his mind was already immersed in the cemetery.
In the barren cemetery, the seventeen skeleton soldiers have all changed their clothes, and were identified by the cemetery as being upgraded to firearm skeleton soldiers. The brand-new enchanted rifle is now rusted and has some changes in appearance. Even if the old one-eyed is standing here now, he will not see that these firearms are just sold to Green. Although it has become old, the bullets are loaded and the sharp bayonet at the muzzle makes these skeleton soldiers even more murderous.
Green admired it with great satisfaction, but he was thinking secretly in his heart, whether to take the initiative to find Laura, the other party promised to explore the secret base of the Tower of Yin Spirits, but he never replied, he must have encountered trouble. He is not worried about Laura's safety. Laura is a lone ranger or a woman. She has been in the half-black and half-white adventurer industry for so many years. She must have a means to protect herself. .
But Green has long regarded the Tower of Yin Spirits as a copy that must be brushed. It is a large amount of psionic energy. If it is delayed for too long, he is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and others will take it first. From what he heard recently With the sound of wind, it seems that many big figures in Langton City are pulling their stance to deal with the Tower of Yin Spirit.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly braked, Greene leaned forward and immediately recovered his senses, frowned, and asked the driver, "What's the matter?"
But without waiting for the driver to answer, the wooden door of the carriage was slapped, and someone shouted eagerly, "Is that you, Lord Green? No, Miss Penny has an accident!"
Green heard that it was a female butler of Wilson Castle, second only to Butler Laurens, and immediately opened the door of the carriage.
A middle-aged housekeeper in a decent women's suit was standing in front of the door. It was she who saw the family crest on the carriage and recognized that it was Green's carriage, so she rushed to stop the carriage, but she was short of breath and looked very flustered. .
"What's the matter? What's wrong with Penny?" Green asked with a frown, curious about what trouble Penny could cause when she just came back, and made the usual well-behaved housekeeper look like this.
"Lord Green, it was Miss Penny who discovered the Tower of Yin Spirits. She asked me to go home and report the letter. She followed him." The old man's carriage..."
After Green heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter. He didn't expect that many people in Langton City would not be able to find them. Penny, a girl who discovered the Tower of Yin Spirits as soon as she came back, should she be said to be lucky or unlucky? ?
But Green didn't dare to take this matter lightly. First, he had a good sense of Penny in his heart, and secondly, this was also an opportunity to find the traces of the Tower of Yin Spirits. He immediately asked the direction clearly, asked the housekeeper to go back in the carriage, and chased after the direction.
Green held a staff and ran in the direction described by the housekeeper, and soon came to Novac Street in the lower city.
Novac Street is a famous slum in Langton City. The personnel are very complicated. There are many pickpockets, liars, robbers, gang members, and gangsters. Green galloped all the way, and when he came to Novac, he didn't find any trace of Penny. He was about to ask the local patrol police if there was any situation. At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and there was a sound like an explosion from a house next to Novac Street.
Green raised his vigilance, he could hear the movement from the collision of the knight's grudge.
"It's already started." Green immediately followed the sound and came to the front of an old three-story brick and wood building.
A room on the second floor of this building was directly smashed into the wall by the aftermath of the collision of vindictiveness. Many residents in the building were alarmed, and they all ran out and talked downstairs, but Penny was not there.
Green took a few steps and rushed into the building, came to the scene on the second floor, and checked the traces of the fight.
"This fighting spirit with the flame attribute should belong to Penny. The other party is also a trainee knight. It is an ice-type fighting qi, but its strength is weak..." Greene initially judged the situation just now through the traces left on the scene and the aura of fighting qi. It was Penny who had the upper hand, with a fighting technique, there was blood on the ground, it should have injured the opponent and were chasing.
The so-called fighting skills are the knight's power-packed attacks. It is not a particularly advanced trick. Although the power is not weak, it has many limitations. It is difficult to have enough opportunities to accumulate fighting qi when encountering experienced enemies. Therefore, most of the time high-level knights There are few fighting skills in the battles of the budding knights, but the fighting skills of the fledgling knights often appear.
Green used his undead vision to find the direction left by Dou Qi, which turned out to be in the direction of the upper city.
"Huh? He actually went to the more heavily patrolled Upper Town." Green pondered silently: "If Penny encountered someone from the Tower of the Shadows, and then escaped to the Upper Town after being injured, could it be that she was living in the upper city where the rich and nobles lived. Someone in the city will meet him? It’s no wonder, if there is no inner response, the Tower of Yin Spirits can’t be hidden so perfectly, just don’t know who it is, but dare to cover up the Tower of Yin Spirits.”
Green continued to track while thinking, and soon left Novac Street and entered Uptown.
There is a large wasteland in the southeast corner of the upper city. It used to belong to a wealthy businessman who was going to build a luxury residence, but he suddenly moved out of Langton City for some reason, leaving this piece of land with thousands of square meters and a building A half-built unfinished building. Because the property rights still belong to the wealthy businessman, the Langton city government has no right to interfere, and can only see the abandoned yard overgrown with weeds, becoming a piece of psoriasis that cannot be cured in the upper city.
According to the signs of vindictiveness, Penny finally entered this abandoned yard…
027 Penny (3)
At the same time, the housekeeper who brought back the news of Wilson Castle was completely alarmed. Viscount Paul directly invited Dr. Wilkins, and together with Vincent, he took six apprentice knights raised by the family and rushed out of the castle on horseback. Viscount Paul took a carriage and immediately went to the city hall, asking the mayor to send reinforcements. The local Special Bureau of Langton City, plus the people sent by the Northwest Provincial General Bureau, should be enough to deal with the shriveled Tower of Yin Spirits.
Green didn't know that the violent machine in the whole of Langton City was running. He directly climbed the wall and entered the abandoned yard. At the same time, he summoned three skeleton soldiers from the cemetery and summoned two ghouls. Hiding in the weeds in secret.
Green holding a staff, stepping on the lush weeds under his feet, he walked in step by step, and looking around, he soon found that there was a clear remnant of fighting qi again near the unfinished building in the courtyard and left no trace. Less blood.
"There was a battle not long ago, and there was an extra kind of earth-type grudge. It seems that Penny's girl is in trouble." Green judged that the opponent had reinforcements, and one enemy and two Penny would probably suffer.
Green was even more alert, and summoned another group of skeleton soldiers to protect him in tandem with the previous three skeleton soldiers.
Because it is still daytime, even in the abandoned and unfinished building, it does not feel particularly gloomy. The sun shines through the windows on the mottled concrete walls, and there is a lot of garbage stored in the room. It seems that many homeless people have come here after the abandoned building. , But at this time, they have disappeared. It is estimated that most of them were used as sacrifices to sacrifice to the evil gods by the Tower of Yin Spirits. Anyway, even if those filthy and lowly homeless people disappeared, no one would care.
The second floor of the Unfinished Building is a large hall.
Green walked up the stairs along the bloodstains and residual vindictive breath when he saw a tall and thin man in a black trench coat and a fat old man covered in blood. Penny, who was holding the knight sword off his hand and holding his left shoulder, cornered, and the two faced each other. With a smirk, and a bit of lewdness.
Penny pursed her lips, and there was a hint of despair in her eyes. She still had too little actual combat experience, and she was a little bit rash. It's too hard to break through here.
But at this moment, Penny's eyes lit up and she saw Green walking up the stairs.
But she wasn't stupid, and found that Green didn't shout, and even tried her best to hide her excited expression. However, the tall and fat two were old fritters, experienced, and very vigilant. Even if they didn't find any clues from Penny's expression, they quickly discovered Green who had not concealed his whereabouts.
"Who!" The tall and thin man turned his head and shouted loudly. The revolver in his left hand pointed to Green's side, and the dagger in his right hand was still pointed at Penny, in case she took the opportunity to break out.
The fat old man also glanced over from the corner of his eyes. The gem at the top of the staff in his hand glowed a little blue light. He had prepared a water-based magic water bomb technique, locked in two directions, and could respond at any time.
Green showed a sneer at the slender man's muzzle, and stopped at the stairs: "Two extraordinary people who are the towers of the ghosts, but together they bully a girl, I'm afraid this is not a gentleman's behavior."
One tall and one fat two heard Green named the Tower of Yin Spirits, their expressions changed, their eyes became more fierce, and they stared at Green, revealing a strong murderous intent.
"Haha, it seems that there is another one who is courting death, so I will send you on the road first." The tall and thin man froze, grinned, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
A gunshot rang out, but it hit the skeleton soldier who suddenly appeared in front of Green. Because there was no grudge, it was just a normal bullet, which could not penetrate the armor defense of the upgraded gun skeleton soldier.
The tall and thin man was taken aback: "It turns out to be an apprentice of a necromancer, no wonder he is so bold, he dares to come and save people." A gray halo suddenly exploded on his body as he spoke, and the revolver in his hand was covered by the halo, causing a gunshot wound. Complicated magic runes emerged.
But at this moment, a scream came from the next room: "Green, it really is you, you are not dead!"
Hearing the sound, the tall and thin man did not rush to pull the trigger, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two people walking out. Green recognized at a glance that they were all acquaintances. It was the knife that stabbed him when Green first crossed. Heart, and then drove the carriage to throw the two people in the wilderness, one named Les, the other named Bill.
At this time, the two people were a little different from the original. Green saw an evil aura from the two of them. It was the aura from the Void Yin Spirit, which was devouring their vitality, but it could temporarily give extraordinary power. Obviously this The two also became victims in the end. Although they didn't die for a while, they didn't survive for two years.
Rice and Old Bill didn't know their own situation yet. They had just acquired powerful abilities a few days ago, and they were not too excited at this time. They suddenly saw Green, and they were very shocked. The cult they originally joined was originally a peripheral organization of the Tower of Yin Spirits. Because of the tight situation in Langton City, the Tower of Yin Spirits shrank its power, and the peripheral organizations gathered together. The vitality of the Void feeds the Void spirits they enshrine.
So Rice and Old Bill didn't know the news of Green's resurrection. They were surprised when they came out this time and met Green again.
At this time, both of them were wearing black robes similar to sacrificial sacrifices. In front of them was a huge skull head wrapped in black energy, and black fire swayed in the skull's eye sockets.
"Les, do you know him?" The tall and thin man said gloomily: "Then I will leave this person to the two of you. By the way, let me take a look at the power that Lord Yin Ling has bestowed upon you."
"I obeyed the order to sacrifice to the Lord, but it is enough for me to solve this person with the divine power bestowed by Lord Yin Ling." Rice was full of confidence, and even saw the skeleton soldiers standing in front of Green without fear.
Unexpectedly, Old Bill turned his back on his promise, and said in a loud voice: "Why are you alone, the priest let us two together, do you want to take the credit alone?"
A cold light flashed in Rice's eyes, and he was very angry at the change in attitude of his former subordinates after gaining the Yin spirit power. Unfortunately, the two no longer have the status of superiors and subordinates, and they have both obtained the Yin spirit power. He also knew that he couldn't hold back Old Bill. , can only grit his teeth secretly, and retaliate fiercely in the future.
Green was also a little surprised by these two old friends who suddenly jumped out. To a certain extent, Green would have to thank them. If they hadn't calculated the original Green Wilson, Green would not have had the chance to cross this world, but Green did not. He will be merciful to them because of this origin.
