Chapter 327: Bait

Looking at these four skills, Rody didn't show much surprise, but the first thing he felt was surprise and doubt.

Rody used to be a level 59 advanced ranger. Even though he majored in "shooting" and never brought pets, he was very clear about the fact that pets generally had single and rare skills, and they were often leveled up to level 30. There are only two or three skills, and if it is a high-level pet, there may be four or five, but often "five" is the limit, and there will be no more.

Obviously, this snapping turtle from Nokia has completely broken the rules. From the "tortoise shell shield" attached to it when it was born, we can see the difference between a "magic pet" and a "pet". It was beyond Roddy's imagination.

As soon as level nine, there are four skills? Then wait for level 30 or 40, do you have to have a big row?

He opened the [Skill Bar] and carefully checked the titles of these skills. He didn't realize that the Nokia next to him had increased his appetite because of its larger size. The chewer who was "clicking" the bread and meat in...

"Tortoise Shield"

level 2

Cost: 45 mana

Use: Block 75 damage in a short time (3 after the talent is strengthened, last for 4 seconds, rebound 2% melee physical damage.

Cooling time: 3 minutes (2l minutes after talent enhancement).

The upgraded tortoise shell shield lasts one second longer, and the melee counter-injury is increased by 2%. This skill is obviously dedicated to being beaten. After the talent is strengthened, it is equivalent to "little invincible" for four seconds. It should be regarded as a snapping turtle. core skills of this species.

"Bite violently"

"Big Blow"

class l

Costs 75 mana

Use: The damage of the next attack is increased by 6 with a "knockback" effect, and the knockback distance is determined by the strength value.

Cooling: 2 minutes.

These three skills seem unremarkable at first glance, if they are only used by Nokia, the effect may not be very strong, but when they can be cast by Roddy, the effect will change drastically - "Bite Violently" combined with " "Giant blow", if you use the "Blood Drinker" tomahawk to attack, the damage will be absolutely terrifying

The skill "Bite" is not displayed on Rody's [ ], obviously this is a control skill that only the Nokia itself can use.

Rody looked at it, and then changed the talent from "Familiar Skill Enhancement" to "Giant Strike". After confirming that the damage enhancement effect of "Great Strike" has increased to 8 and the cooling time has been reduced to 3 seconds, Only then nodded in satisfaction and closed the page.

However, when he turned his attention to Nokia again, his expression suddenly changed—this guy had already eaten up all the food that Rody brought, even swallowed the cloth bag containing bread...

"You foodie, tell me when you're hungry"

Roddy got up helplessly to look for other food in the tent, and then found that Nokia followed him. Such a giant snapping turtle with a diameter of one and a half meters is really not small, and its crawling speed is not as slow as people think. Tun Tun, obviously those thick limbs are very powerful, enough to support its heavy body.

Rody has never experienced this kind of feeling of taking care of pets, and he feels inexplicably awkward, but the strength of a "monster hunter" lies in having a powerful magic pet, and he also understands that it is impossible for him to follow the previous route , so I could only silently look at Nokia, who was eating all kinds of things, reached out and knocked on its thick tortoise shell, and muttered: "You guy, how big can you grow?"

For this question, Nokia opened his mouth wide and answered with a long belch.

Rody rubbed the space between his brows, and decided that it would be more reliable to think about solving the matters of those nobles—he looked at the dark forest, roughly calculated the distance to the Silent Whispering Forest, found a pen and paper, and began to give Pal The subordinates of the leader wrote letters...

On April 22nd, at the junction of Parling and Silent Whispering Forest, a caravan was slowly driving towards the forest.

This team has more than a dozen carriages, and the guards are fully armed. The level of equipment is obviously higher than that of mercenaries and noble private soldiers in this area. There is even a cavalry unit on standby at any time on both sides of the team, watching the surroundings vigilantly any anomalies that may arise.

The leader riding a horse at the front of the team was a fat man. If there were any mercenaries from Keig Town here, they would definitely recognize him as the Henry who was believed to have died in the Forest of Quiet Whispers—but now his identity is no longer a mercenary. It is the "caravan leader" that goes back and forth between Elsa Village and Hollier City.

"Buffon, do you think this operation is dangerous?"

"You've asked that question ten times."

The slender Buffon walked in front of the team, answering the fat man's words without looking back. These two mercenaries who used to share life and death have now lived a life they never imagined before—whether it is salary, The welfare or the exhaustion of the work are completely incomparable to the group of hard-working mercenaries in Kieg Town.

Food and clothing are not easy to come by. Buffon and Henry are lucky to have the life they have today. They escort the team to and from Elsa and various towns all day. , Henry, who is used to this kind of stability, seemed very unconfident. He kept asking the same question along the way, but he didn't actually expect to get the answer, but he was just looking for something to say.

"I'm just nervous...I'm busy with these caravans every day. I haven't held a sword for a long time. I think back then..."

"I think back then, you were chased all over the mountain by an immature wild boar. If I hadn't saved you, you would have given up your life, right?"

Buffon didn't save Henry at all, and the words he said made the soldiers around burst into laughter-Henry also laughed along with "hehe", in fact, he said this intentionally to ease the atmosphere... As the leader of the caravan, Henry noticed in every aspect that the soldiers were actually a little nervous at this time... because this time they were not just transporting goods, but digging a tempting "pit" under Rody's order, and waiting Then bury those who don't know how to live or die.

"We're almost at Pa'er, prepare to rest by the river, the team from Pa'er village should be there too."

Henry looked at the path in the forest that wasn't a good view, and arranged the itinerary for the people around him-according to the previous plan, the team would usually choose to rest after entering the Silent Whispering Forest, because after entering the forest, there would be The wood elves from Elsa village came to lead the way, and the routes they took were different every time they led the way.

However, today's arrangement is obviously different from the previous ones. Henry not only sold the wood elves' goods in Houlier City, but also blatantly took gold coins to the pharmacist's guild and blacksmith shop to buy a large amount of supplies, and secretly let people release them. According to the news, the chamber of commerce made such a round trip, with the word "earning" at both ends, and the profit was at least 800 gold coins

Of course, this is just a theoretical figure, because there is no currency in circulation in Elsa Village, and "bartering" is still the mainstream, but holding an iron pot with three silver coins in exchange for fruit wine worth three gold coins, The figure of "800 gold coins" is actually not an exaggeration.

As soon as such news spread, those little lords who did not earn a thousand gold coins a year almost died of envy.

In just two days, the "Wood Elf" became a hot topic among all the nobles in the Efta Territory, and the resulting effect was that the whereabouts of Henry and the others completely disappeared--they When did you leave Houlier City, what did you buy, and which way did you go?

Today, when the situation in the territory is becoming increasingly tense, the position of the caravan that suddenly became the focus is very delicate. They have the background of being protected by the Duke of Angmar, but they were found to be the subordinates of Captain Rody who "died in an avalanche". Just let those nobles who have bad intentions against the duke turn their attention to it-obviously, let such a "gold-absorbing machine" be controlled by Angmar, and the pressure they put on Angmar is meaningless.

"I really want to see how ugly it is when a bunch of dog-like guys tear their skins apart."

The fat man satirized the group of hypocritical nobles in a low voice, but then asked Buffon in a low voice: "You said... Lord Roddy will treat us as a disposable bait?"

This is quite embarrassing. As a subordinate, especially a unit that is regarded as a direct descendant, at no time should you question the commander's decision - Henry knew this, so he only asked his inner question to himself The most trusted brother in my life.

But Buffon didn't seem to react much, just clenched his hand holding the hilt of the sword slightly, narrowed his eyes, and replied: "If he really has such a plan, he will definitely tell us in advance that this is a road of no return, and …He will also give us options.”

Roddy's character is not up to him, but must be judged by others... Obviously, in Buffon's eyes, Roddy never abandons his subordinates at will.

"You guys are quite loyal."

There was no irony in Henry's words - he didn't have any opinions on Roddy, but it was just a normal thought of a smart fat man... Who wants to live a good life and suddenly die because of an order?

Everyone chooses all the time, and no matter what they think in their hearts, Henry and Buffon willingly chose to become "bait" at this time, and set up camp by the river at the junction of Parling and Quiet Whispering Forest.

"Did you say the enemy would come?"

Henry asked.

"If you come, you will be killed, if you don't come, you will be killed. What's the difference?"

After Buffon answered casually, he looked across the river and said softly, "The wood elves are here."
