Chapter 166 The Daring Bandits

Things like endurance will always have an impact on the journey.

But it happened that the three people present were not in short supply.

This run lasted a day and a night.

"call--"

In an open space near the road, seeing no more pursuers behind them, the three of them finally had a chance to rest for a while.

"Now it's time to explain what's going on."

Li Wei raised a bonfire, set up an iron pot, and while cooking soup, he asked:

"I mean, the incident of your confrontation with Sauron and your corruption."

"I think that instead of this, you should first explain the...those two rings on your hand. As far as I know, most of the rings with strange powers in this world are not good things."

"The last time I saw this kind of ring was thousands of years ago. At that time, there was a human named Kohamul. With a ring, he became the most powerful warrior in the entire East, possessing great wealth and power. , and also masters some magic, and is called a 'dark wizard' by some people."

Um?

Before Levi could respond, Farodan was attracted by these words.

A powerful warrior, mastering magic, and being passed down as a wizard...Why does this process sound so familiar?

"But in the end he was corrupted by the ring and became a slave of the enemy, the 'Nazgul'."

"I've explained to you the seriousness of the matter, Levi. If you have that kind of ring on your hand and it's not too late to take it off now, I can help you - even if it makes my situation worse."

"Your doubts are too much. I made these two rings myself. They only contain pure protective power and have no connection with Sauron's Supreme Lord of the Rings."

"So that's it...this is the best..."

"It's your turn, what's wrong with you?"

Levi said, took out three more wooden bowls, poured out some freshly cooked broth and distributed them to the two of them.

Alatar took a sip and felt that all the senses in his body were cheering for this bowl of soup.

"You want to know what's going on?"

Levi nodded.

"good."

As if he was afraid that he would never drink again, Alatar finished the bowl of soup, then slowly put down the wooden bowl, stood up and moved away.

The moment he raised his hands, the clear sky above his head suddenly turned dark.

The sea-blue robe moved without wind, and darkness burst out from within. The wise light in the wizard's eyes disappeared, replaced by coldness and indifference.

"Just like this."

His words were muffled and hurtful to the eardrums.

Boom!

Everything suddenly disappeared, as if it never happened.

Falodan woke up from his trance, but Levi showed no fluctuations from beginning to end.

"The symptoms are a bit serious."

"A glass of milk? This might make your situation better."

After hearing this, Alatar reached out his hand to take the milk without any doubt and drank it in one gulp.

"Thank you, it's definitely better." He said.

After a moment, he added: "Although it only healed for a short while."

Yes, it is a beacon-type permanent corruption.

"A very effective milk healing magic, but it only works for a short time." Alatar commented.

"That evil force has been affecting my mind. There is only one way to solve it - to solve its root cause."

He shook his head helplessly: "But I'm used to it. I will try my best to arrange everything before this..."

Clang.

Just as he was talking, there were some unusual noises coming from the road.

Falodan immediately put out the bonfire and covered the soup pot.

Alatar quickly protected his wooden bowl.

The three of them hid and looked towards the road, only to see a magnificent carriage speeding along, making noises from time to time when it was knocked against the pebbles on the road.

Also surrounding the carriage was a small group of guards riding armored horses.

"The car of the royal family and nobles is surrounded by the most elite guards."

Alatar recognized these guys at a glance. The three of them looked at each other.

A moment later, three daring masked bandits came out of the way. One of them was wearing black armor and was so powerful that the guards could not move him even if they charged on horseback.

The other man was wearing a tattered coat that didn't fit and was holding a wooden stick. One stick could knock people out through their helmets. He was suspected to be a veteran soldier with many years of combat experience.

The third man is agile and extremely difficult to catch. He can play tricks with daggers and longbows in his hands. The untouched sword at his waist shows that his swordsmanship may not be simple either.

When the battle damage reached more than half, but the three bandits were unscathed, the remaining guards quickly pulled the nobleman out of the car, dragged the man onto his horse and ran away.

The noble stared at the carriage and wanted to say something, but the guard covered his mouth, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

The three bandits did not choose to chase after him and silence him. Instead, they stopped where they were and searched the carriage in a rather unfamiliar manner. They made sure that nothing seemed to be left behind before leaving the scene.

A piece of wasteland far away from the road.

"I found a letter with the royal seal."

Alatar took out what he had just harvested.

"I found a quite luxurious gold-plated dagger and some gold coins. I believe these will be useful."

Falodan also laid his harvest on the ground.

"I found some food, snacks I've never seen before."

Levi brought out a plate with several small cakes of rather novel shapes on it.

“…”

"Don't look at me like that. You took away all the useful things, and you didn't allow me to take some food with me?"

"Okay, that makes sense."

Alatar picked up a small cake, chewed it while opening the letter, and started reading it.

But the more he read, the more serious his expression became.

"A mobilization order mentions three main areas."

"The winding seaport in the north, the pass city in the south, and the armed town group on the eastern road."

"Each of them has considerable power."

"If they are allowed to successfully unite with the power of the royal capital, I'm afraid there will be no force in the entire East that can resist them."

Alatar frowned deeply, and he was not in the mood to eat the small cake.

Farodan comforted him, "At least there is good news. Didn't we stop the messenger?"

"No."

"This is just one of them, and even the most insignificant one."

"There are three more groups of people heading towards those three areas."

Alatar shook his head, "It's too late..."

"I don't think so."

After finishing the cake, Levi put the plate aside, leaned over to look at the letter and said, "Doesn't this mean that the other three groups have just set out? That means they are still on the road like this group."

"I think it's not too late for us to chase them now."

Falodan thought for a while and said, "We can only catch up with one group at most."

"But even if we can only catch up with one group, it will be useful. Which way should we go?"

No one responded.

"We have three people..."

Levi stared at the letter and said.

"Yes, three people."

Alatar quite agreed.

"Two of them must be crazy."

Falodan looked around and took a step back.

Two eyes slowly moved over.
