Chapter 221 Don’t Set Random Flags when Taking Risks

"Why do we suddenly no longer need to stay in Storm Bay?"

In an area far away from Storm Bay, Hope sat by the fire and asked Karl in confusion.

Not long ago, the situation in Storm Bay made her a little worried. Bain and the others even had to occasionally go out on patrol with the adventurers who followed them to prevent conflicts.

But the situation seemed to suddenly become clearer.

Karl even took them directly on the journey to find the giant ruins.

After stirring the firewood in the fire pit, Karl crossed his arms and said slowly:

“It’s very simple, because those guys who originally wanted to take advantage of the unclear power structure of Storm Bay to fish in troubled waters have woken up.

Power comes from force. This fact may not be so obvious in peaceful areas, but in a place like Storm Bay where there is no clear law, this is the truth.

The words spoken by those with the strongest force are the law, and if those words are in line with people's universal values, they will become an iron law that cannot be shaken easily.

All the things that happened some time ago were ordinary forces testing my bottom line. They wanted to find a group of 'privileged people' who could have a certain status in Storm Bay and then integrate into them.

But unfortunately, adventurers with good abilities do not belong to this category, civilians who are a vulnerable group do not belong to this category, and the Sai people who have traveled across the ocean to come here do not belong to this category either.

The Dragon Mark family can barely be counted, but the Dragon Mark cannot be faked.

So the current situation is that they can't beat me and don't want to leave Storm Bay, so they can only honestly abide by my previous rules. "

After saying this in one breath, Karl took a deep breath and leaned against the shadow next to him and lay on her lap.

Almost all the things he learned from watching TV in his previous life were used to deal with various problems in the previous life.

But to be honest, he didn't expect the current situation.

According to his original plan, he would stay in Storm Bay for a long time and wait until his regulations became an established fact before he could leave.

"Then what's the situation with Joanna? She gradually became submissive some time ago, but when she sent us away the day before yesterday, she became the same state again."

Seeing Karl lying down, Hope also lay on Ying's body unceremoniously, and was also concerned about Joanna's condition.

“The reason why Joanna is submissive is because she wants to win privileges for the Ser people.

I plan to train her as a deputy or secretary, and she knows this.

So, what kind of psychology do you think the second-in-command in a force has to allow someone to establish a small group on their own territory? "

Frowning, Hope couldn't think of anything for a moment, but Ying hesitated and said, "When she herself wanted to do something similar?"

Looking at Ying appreciatively, Karl really didn't expect that she could even think of this.

"Yes, so she never mentioned to me about annihilating those civil forces, because she also wanted to see if these people could make me compromise. If so, she also wanted to use the same method to help the Sai people. Strive for benefits.

But the answer is no. The construct's cannon shattered her luck. She figured this out, so she no longer followed her family's orders and gave the green light to the Cyrs, but decided to become a qualified manager.

Haven't you noticed that the divine power exerted by the two siblings is much brighter than before? This shows that they have thought through many things. "

Scorpion on the other side of the fire pit was shocked when he heard this.

"Is there still such a thing for priests and paladins?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why do you think there are so few of these two professions? Do you really think that these two professions can be improved by just reciting the teachings when they have nothing to do?

Let me tell you, the priest is okay, but if the paladin gets into trouble, it will be a disaster! If the paladin who believed in the Silver Flame got into trouble, it would be a disaster within a disaster. "

For some reason, after Karl said these words, Bain, Scorpion and the newly joined Thorin turned pale and stopped talking.

Karl stood up from Ying's lap in confusion and looked at the three people with unhappy expressions. For a moment, he didn't know if he had said something wrong.

But he soon thought of a factor that made the three of them frown - the priest who formed the adventure group with Bain and the others!

"Are you... because of that pastor?"

Karl's voice awakened the three of them from their memories. Seeing the concerned looks cast by Karl and the other three, the three of them nodded sheepishly.

"Sorry for making you worry. Rogge was indeed in a bad state when he left. We originally thought it was because we made him unhappy with the decision we finally made, but looking at it now..."

Although he really wanted to know about his former teammates, it had been so long, and Bain felt that even if he found the other party and talked about it, it would be difficult to recover anything.

"Hmm~, after we find the giant ruins, we will return to Khorvaire. Then you can go back together and take a look. I remember that he is a Thrane, right? It's almost a side trip."

After a moment of silence, Bain nodded.

"That's good. The money we make with you will allow us to buy some properties in Khorvaire. We can also go to the Taranta Plains to see Milo later."

"Then it's settled!"

Picking up the juice on the side, several people clinked the glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

However, Karl always felt that this agreement was a bit unlucky, so he made up his mind to pay more attention to the usual precautions to avoid any problems because of this flag.

…

Four days later, somewhere near a lonely mountain.

As everyone continued to go deeper, this place was very close to Xen'drik's core area, and the surrounding ordinary beasts became scarce, replaced by various more ferocious large beasts and giant tribes.

A group of six people came to a place that seemed relatively safe and were preparing to set up camp and rest.

But after Hope checked the fine gold key out of habit, he discovered something unusual.

"Karl, the key seems to be responding!"

As he spoke, Hope took out the adamantine key.

The pattern on the key is shining with a certain light at this time, and as the key is turned, the light will change accordingly.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the direction of this light is obviously the nearby solitary mountain.

"Oh my gosh, this key finally has some feedback. Wait a minute, I fly up and take a look at the nearby terrain. According to the current distance, there is a high probability that we will not be able to reach the cliff and will move to other areas. I will try to make a Nearby map!”

Using the flying technique, Karl soared into the sky like an onion on dry land.

Xen'drik's airspace also has space transfer phenomena, so it is not advisable to reach the destination by flying.

The main reason why Carl flew up was to be able to judge the distance between the surroundings and the solitary mountain as quickly as possible after the space jump.

After reaching a certain height, Karl quickly rotated his body and temporarily memorized all the terrain in his field of vision.

Afterwards, Karl landed back to the ground before the effect of the flying technique dissipated.

"Very good. I've almost memorized the map. I'll start making the terrain map after finishing it tomorrow morning. Let's rest now!"

The long-awaited goal finally yielded some results, which inevitably made everyone feel a little excited.

It wasn't until very late that everyone finally fell asleep.

However, when the time came to the middle of the night, the guard glyph set by Karl was suddenly activated.

"Boom"

A powerful explosion sounded along with the roar of some kind of beast. Karl and others quickly woke up from their dreams and ran out of the tent.

In the open space, a petrified cow that was nearly two meters tall was roaring angrily.

One of its hoofs was wounded by Karl's spell, and it was lying on the ground, struggling to get up.

The challenge level of a petrified cow of this size is not as simple as that of an ordinary petrified cow.

Karl felt that this guy was at least ten levels of strength.

"I didn't expect that the record that has been maintained for so long will be broken here! Bain! You lead the rest of the people to support from the side, and I will go meet this guy!"

Because of the petrified cow's petrification ability, Karl stopped the others from wanting to get close, and instead summoned the mecha himself to fight.

A mecha resembling the Skyfire Optimus Prime in "Transformers 2" appeared in the open space as Carl fought, and the ferocious black external weapons looked very eye-catching.

"Bite the bullet!"

Saying this to the petrified cow that was still struggling on the ground, Karl punched it down, making a hole in the ground.

How has the petrified cow ever suffered such injustice?

It opened its mouth and spit out petrified breath.

The gray breath was a bit difficult to see clearly in the middle of the night, but fortunately most of the companions in Karl's team had dark vision, and everyone hid under the remaining firelight.

"Okay, you got punched by me and nothing happened? Come again!"

Grasping one of the petrified cow's horns with one hand, Karl used force to lift the entire upper body of the petrified cow.

The two floating cannons behind him then levitated into the sky, and the muzzles of the cannons hit the petrified cow's body with a "bang bang" sound.

The body defense of this petrified cow was astonishing. After two shots, its body was only slightly injured, but not even penetrated.

As blood sprayed, Karl thrust the muzzle of the large electromagnetic submachine gun mounted on his arm into the petrified cow's mouth.

"Try this!"

The dazzling electric light lit up one after another, and the body of the petrified cow struggled violently, but it could not escape the clutches of the Karl mecha.

Dozens of ammunition were fired continuously, and finally, an electromagnetic bullet penetrated the throat of the petrified cow and flew towards a big tree behind it.

The big tree, which required at least three people to hug, was shaken by the beating, and the bullet was deeply embedded in the tree.

In an instant, the body of the petrified cow became weak, and it fell heavily to the ground, leaving only an unwilling whimper.

Without torturing this guy any more, Karl ejected the electric fusion knife from his other arm and directly chopped off the head of the petrified cow.

"You really can't be careless. Fortunately, the defensive measure I set up is to guard the glyphs. If we had used the alarm spell as before, at least four or five of us would have been seriously injured, and maybe someone would have been petrified.

It seems that once you get close to Xen'drik's core area, you have to be more careful. "
