Artolis took a sip of the wine, and the spicy taste made her feel uncomfortable. Maybe it’s because I’ve never drunk it before. I remember that when I was in the Knights, wine was a luxury item. The old leader would give Artoris anything, but he wouldn’t let her drink anything. Besides, Artolis has no need in this regard (minors are not allowed to drink).
Deken said that this desert was all caused by the fireball, but to evaporate an entire sea area overnight, what a terrifying power that would be!
"Last month, a member of the Adventurer's Guild discovered an unknown creature in the heart of the desert. According to the man's description, it was a huge monster with flames all over its body. As for the specific characteristics, there is no way to know, but it looks like As soon as that guy talked about the fire-breathing monster, his face turned pale and his legs trembled. If an ordinary person was frightened like this, it would be okay, but that guy's strength is level four!"
Deken pressed his head and said, "That person is quite famous in the Adventurer's Guild."
The occurrence of this incident caused a sensation in the entire city. In order to avoid panic among the people, the city lord of Haihu City also attached great importance to it. In order to get rid of that monster, the city lord even mobilized the most elite knights in Haihu City - the Fire and Sand Knights.
Artoris was a little surprised when she heard this. Are there knights in this world? At this time, Dawson, who exchanged the golden map to Gawain, patted Gawain's shoulder and said with a smile: "Everyone in the Knights of Fire and Sand is an elite, and even the weakest one has rank five. And they don't have to reach the level. Those who can join later need to pass various assessments within the group. In short, joining the Fire Sand Knights is the dream of every Sea Tiger City adventurer!" Artolis could hear the admiration in Dawson's tone, and longing.
Are there any benefits to becoming a knight? No. The duty of knights is to protect those who stand behind them, and knights exist because of protection. Artoris remembered Captain Fred saying that knights are not warriors who wear armor and ride horses on the battlefield. But a warrior who can be the first to stand up when justice is needed. Even if the justice he upholds is so trivial, we should all respect him because he is a knight.
The only thing that can make a knight feel relieved is the pride and pride that guardianship brings to the knight. This is knight, a solemn and sacred title!
"So your mission this time is to assist the Fire Sand Knights in getting rid of the fire-breathing monster?" Gawain was experienced and guessed Deken's intention in talking about this matter.
Dawson said: "It's not entirely correct, but I can make a rough guess. We are indeed assisting the Fire Sand Knights, but our task is to pay attention to the direction of the insect swarm so that the frightened insect swarm can enter the valley to the west. Don’t harm surrounding towns and villages.”
"Hiss~" Artoris and the two took a breath of cold air. The valley to the west was not where they came from. If they hadn't left the valley early and met Deken and Dawson on a mission, I'm afraid they would have either fed the bugs in the valley or died in the desert.
"Eh? So this insect wave is not migrating, but frightened?" Gawain was surprised.
Dawson nodded, "That's true. Obviously, the Fire Sand Knights started fighting a long time ago, and it looks like the fighting is still fierce!"
The time had reached noon before she knew it, and Artolis felt more or less tired after trekking all day.
Seeing this, Dawson sighed and said, "You two have been gone for a day and you also need to rest. Deken and I will send you two to Haihu City to settle down early the next morning."
However, just as Dawson finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently. Artoris was startled by such a sudden turn of events. She lost her grip on the wine bottle and rolled it down. Looking at the wine bottle disappearing into the night, Artolis felt distressed for a second, but she quickly turned her attention to other places.
"What happened?" Gawain was completely sleepless at the moment and quickly asked about the situation.
Dawson turned his head and shouted: "Hey, man! What's going on?" Hearing Xiao Sa make a cow-like sound, Dawson's face turned solemn the next moment.
"What's wrong?" Deken was so shaken that he was mostly sober from the wine.
"A six-turn serrated intestinal worm just passed us along with the insect tide."
Hearing Dawson's answer, Deken breathed a sigh of relief: "What did I think? We are at an altitude of 100 meters. Are we afraid of this kind of desert worm? No matter how high it is... wait! You mean six rotations? serrated intestinal worm?”
Artoris and Gawain didn't understand what Dawson meant, why they were so afraid of this creature called intestinal worm. So Artolis asked: "What is this serrated intestinal worm?"
Deken replied: "The saw-toothed intestinal worm is a kind of worm in the desert. It is ugly and highly poisonous. People who are bitten by it will die within a short time if they do not detoxify in time. And it kills this kind of worm. After killing the insect, its corpse will explode quickly, exuding extremely corrosive body fluids that can corrupt a living person into a puddle of water in just a few seconds. This kind of insect is the most feared by adventurers in the desert. One of the existences. But the key point is not this!"
I didn't expect this insect to be so terrifying, but luckily I just passed by. Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Then what is the key?"
Before Deken could answer, Dawson suddenly made a strange noise. The three immediately focused their attention on Dawson.
Dawson skillfully took out a small gray bead from the storage ring, and the sound came from it.
"Messaging Pearl!" Gawain immediately thought that there is such a thing in the human world, and Gawain has also seen it. This is a magical bead for long-distance communication, because communication beads are very precious. In Zhifeng Village, such things are kept by the village chief and used to communicate with the outside world and other villages.
It is precisely because of the communication beads that Zhifeng Village can get the news that the British defense line has been breached as soon as possible, so that it can move immediately. Unexpectedly, he was captured by the enemy. As for the communication principle of the communication bead, Gawain did not know, after all, he had not done any research on it. Since Gawain knew this kind of thing, how could Artolis not understand it, so they all kept their mouths shut.
"This is Kulan, the leader of the Fire and Sand Knights. I hereby order the termination of all 'fire-fighting operations' and ask all adventurers wandering on the border of Hucheng in the South China Sea to return quickly! Deputy leader Ruian will pay compensation to all participants... "A young man's voice came from the beads. After repeating what he said, the connection was terminated.
Artoris and Gawain heard it, but they didn't know why. Is this the mission terminated?
The lovers, namely Deken and Dawson, looked pale at this time.
