$1207 En Route 2

The sound of the whining night wind was just like the sad sobs, and the rich smell of blood that filled the air was also nauseating.

A team on the slightly rough gravel road is heading towards the north at full speed. The charioteers, who are fully armed and control various beasts, dare not slack off in the cold wind, but because of the north wind The smell in the air blowing from the front of the team forced many people to cover their mouths and noses with soaked towels.

The huge wheels rolled over the fine gravel, making a rustling sound, but the people in the team were smiling and seemed very excited.

Because, we can reach the land of high towers in two days.

The land of high towers located on the plateau is the center of the entire surface world and the most prosperous and desirable place!

But Raymond, who was sitting in the carriage on top of the rhinoceros at the front of the team, was not infected by the atmosphere permeating the team. He had an expressionless face and clenched his fists, focusing on the dark night in the north. , also extremely indifferent.

He just joined this team two days ago. Because the team leader is just a second-level wizard, this iron rhinoceros became his ride, and the golden-winged giant eagle Norun and the iron-spine bird also obtained Careful care has become a presence above all masters.

Because we are at the front of the team, the oncoming wind contains only slightly moist but fresh air, which makes people calm down unconsciously as they breathe.

Raymond, who only understood the reason why the monsters in the cages behind him appeared here, could not calm himself down no matter what.

Because when his journey was about to end, everything he saw was intolerable. The entire surface world seemed to have entered a carnival of slaughter. Countless teams of various types carried the harvest, They are continuously gathering towards the place of high towers.

And among these teams. Many captured monsters are also placed in various cages and will be presented to the Supreme Council as special harvests.

So after seeing more and more such teams, Raymond landed and selected this caravan as a bridge into the tower land.

Because he doesn't look like a local wizard in the surface world anyway, so he needs to have a certain understanding of everything in the Tower Land before entering.

But before Raymond could start sorting out the clues he had been doing for many days, the crisp sound of hooves approaching quickly, followed by a hearty voice. "Lord Raymond, this is the blood of the snow deer that was just obtained through puncture. Please taste it..."

Raymond sighed, calmed down and opened the side door of the carriage.

Seeing this, the middle-aged wizard sitting on the green wildebeest burst into laughter. He bowed his head and saluted, then jumped into the carriage. After placing the container tightly in his arms on the small table, he spoke again. emphasized. "Lord Raymond. This is the freshest snow deer blood obtained through puncture. Please taste it!"

Among the two crystal clear crystal cups placed while talking. About a third of the bright red liquid was poured in. The steaming liquid didn't smell of blood at all, but instead exuded a fragrance like a girl's body fragrance.

Snow deer, a kind of low-level monster that is extremely alert but has considerable strength. It is said that their blood has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the body, so this kind of creature has always been the target of hunting.

Raymond held up the crystal cup and shook it with his right hand, causing the liquid in the cup to rotate along the wall of the cup. With the emergence of a cold air, the outer wall of the crystal cup was covered with a thin layer of frost, but this also made the fragrance released by the bright red liquid become more intense.

He had never seen this kind of extremely timid but unmatched speed monster before, so he could only rely on the data stored in the chip. Looks like he's ready to start drinking.

The middle-aged wizard who was sitting cautiously opposite him opened his mouth wide when he saw this and looked extremely shocked. He looked like he wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak. However, when he saw the thin frost on the wall of the crystal cup, It gradually thickened, and he gritted his teeth and put a smile on his face again, then pretended to laugh heartily. "Hahaha... Lord Raymond, the blood of the snow deer obtained by puncture does not need to be like this. Drinking it directly is extremely delicious..."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged wizard who pretended to be bold filled his cup with the blood of the snow deer, then tilted his neck and poured it all into his mouth.

However, the middle-aged wizard who was stared at by Raymond still couldn't keep calm in front of him, so the middle-aged wizard who was choked immediately started coughing.

He raised his hand to cover his mouth, but the bright red blood stains sprayed onto his chest were like dazzling flowers blooming, but after they quickly melted away, they became extremely conspicuous.

The extremely embarrassed middle-aged wizard apologized again and again, then took out his silk scarf and wiped it with his head lowered. However, after the blood of the snow deer was stained on the clothes, it no longer exuded a charming fragrance, but a bitter smell filled the air. .

Raymond, who was sitting opposite him, first drank the frozen blood of the snow deer in the cup, and then poured himself more than half of the cup. After tasting it, he finally understood the consequences of the two drinking methods. The subtle difference it creates on the taste buds.

But in Raymond's heart, he couldn't help but have doubts and was deeply surprised.

Because of the difference he tasted between the two drinking methods, he believed that it was absolutely impossible for the middle-aged wizard who had reached the level of a second-level wizard in front of him to tell the difference, so after putting down the crystal cup in his hand, he asked. "Can you also taste the difference between the two drinking methods?"

"Well...it's not like I can tell..." The middle-aged wizard, who lowered his head in embarrassment, paused and then explained. "Only high-level wizards can taste the difference. I also learned this from my cousin in the Land of Towers..."

After understanding the reason, Raymond was relieved. Seeing that the middle-aged wizard was still talkative, he simply took out the aged wine from his storage ring, drank and chatted with him, and inquired about the situation in the Tower Land. And the impact of the two consecutive orders issued by the Supreme Council.

This middle-aged wizard who comes from the hills southeast of the Land of Towers is considered to be quite powerful among his family, but because his cousin holds a position in the Supreme Council, he was sent to represent the materials that his family will harvest. As well as the captured monsters, they were safely escorted to the Supreme House.

Because there were more than thirty various kinds of magical beasts in the team, the middle-aged wizard set out more than half a month ago. He also learned about the second order issued by the Supreme Council on the way, so he didn't know much about it. The resulting impact in his hometown.

It's just that this seemingly bold guy has extremely meticulous observation skills. As he followed the team, he also saw many scenes like a slaughterhouse, especially when the second order of the Supreme Council was issued. After that, the scenes he saw became more and more bloody and exhausting.

"The entire lake was covered by a magic barrier. The combined magic spells released by the fire wizard made the temperature of the lake reach boiling..."

"The sound of screams is endless, and various cooked creatures are covered in the lake..."

"The one that occupies the lake is a red catfish that has lived for a thousand years. It begged hard but could not make the encirclers give up. Even after the red catfish surrendered, all the creatures in the entire lake were completely destroyed. The killing..."

At this point, the middle-aged wizard's face turned pale, a deep fear flashed in his eyes, and he bit his lower lip unbearably. "Apart from the red catfish, there are actually no resources worth selling in that lake..."

After hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but question. "Kill them all? But I remember that the order of the Supreme Council only required the killing of low-level monsters. Such monsters that have already formed and possess intelligence are not among them!"

The middle-aged wizard who raised his head looked at Raymond for a moment before sighing, shaking his head and sighing. "As long as it's a resource, it doesn't matter whether it's precious or not..." (To be continued...)
