Chapter 419: The Non-Existent Token
Chapter 419: The Non-Existent Token
Half a month later, Miss and his party crossed the sea of sand and saw the only oasis.
After entering the golden barrier that specifically blocks magic, Miss's magic enhancement instantly became ineffective.
Prey's speed slowed down and he was soon discovered by the paladins on the ground.
The paladins mistakenly thought it was a sneak attack by the enemy and sprang into action.
Finally, at the entrance of the World Tree, Miss and others were intercepted.
Seeing more and more paladins around him, Miss hesitated.
Barging in headfirst might make things troublesome.
Just then, he suddenly remembered something.
Miss took out a golden ring from the package and waved it in front of the paladins.
"Look carefully, this is a token from your acting legion commander, Mr. Hobert!"
Suddenly, the paladins moved to the sides, leaving a path in the middle.
However, this road does not lead to the World Tree, but in the opposite direction.
A man with a long sword on his waist walked over.
The man had a piece of weed in his mouth and looked a little lazy.
He looked at his subordinates beside him and asked vaguely: "Where is that stupid dragon? Where did it go?"
The subordinate pointed to a place not far away and said, "Captain, you should take a look at these people first."
The swordsman who was called the captain glanced at the people in Miss and said, "A magician, two demihumans, huh? There are also people from the heretical [Tree] organization, plus a little flying dragon?"
The man immediately lost interest, "Where is the big stupid dragon? I rushed here because I saw that guy coming out."
Mis glanced at Prey on his shoulder and asked, "Know him?"
Prey whispered, "I think his name is something like Serus. He's just a fool that I've defeated many times."
Mis narrowed his eyes, "It does seem that you are not very smart."
The "big stupid dragon" he was talking about was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn't recognize it.
"Captain Serrus, you should take a look at the ring in the magician's hand."
After hearing the reminder from his men, Serles finally noticed the gold ring.
"Didn't someone come this morning? Why is there another one?"
The subordinate was very helpless and nodded: "That's right, Captain, this is the twenty-third one this month."
Serus looked at the golden ring in Miss's hand and sighed.
"Can't you have some new ideas? It's always the same ordinary gold ring."
He waved his hand and was about to turn and leave.
The men understood what he meant and drew their swords, ready to capture Miss and the others.
Seeing this situation, Avervanxon couldn't help but add insult to injury.
"It seems that they don't recognize your ring."
Mis was very confused.
He was sure that the ordinary gold ring in his hand was the one that Hobert had given him.
"Hey, take a closer look. This is the token that Hobert gave me personally!"
"If you don't know him, you can ask a higher-level paladin to come over."
"What do you mean by drawing your swords? Have you betrayed Hobert?"
Mis' series of questions made the captain, who was about to leave the scene, stop.
He turned slowly, and the paladins stopped and moved aside.
"He doesn't even recognize Captain Thurles, the strongest of the ten captains. He is the most unprofessional one in the past six months."
"This guy actually dared to say such a thing, is he trying to save his life?"
"It will be fun to watch. Captain Sellers may even do it himself."
Amid the paladins' whispers, the lazy man came in front of Miss, turned his head and spat the weed in his mouth onto the ground.
The originally lifeless eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle's.
"Who did you just say betrayed Lord Hobert?"
Miss was just as imposing as ever, and threw the golden ring at Serles' feet.
"What? You don't even recognize your legion commander's token. If you're not a traitor, who is?"
The paladins never expected that the magician, who didn't look strong, would choose to fight head-on against the murderous Serus.
For a moment, the smell of gunpowder at the entrance of the World Tree became strong.
"Is this guy a fool?"
"Not only is this guy unprofessional, he's also the most reckless one."
"He's dead."
Celes' right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, staring at Miss's blood-red pupils.
"Say it again if you can."
Mis smiled, "Traitor."
There was no more weed in Serles' mouth, but the chewing action was still there.
He said in a deep voice: "Can you say it again?"
Miss has no time to play with a repeater, nor is he interested in becoming one himself.
Just when he was about to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, Celeste suddenly drew his sword without any warning.
A cold light flashed, as fast as thunder.
However, the scene that the paladins expected did not appear.
Mith stood intact, holding the blade of Thurles between two fingers.
As he exerted a little force, the standard long sword shattered instantly.
Seeing this scene, the paladins were dumbfounded. None of them dared to breathe heavily, and they all retreated.
"It's over, it's about to appear!"
"Go get Captain Thurles's spare sword, or it will be too late!"
"No, it's too late..."
After the sword was broken, Serus began to tremble all over, and the hairs on his body stood up.
Miss sensed a hint of danger and was about to attack again when dark shadows emerged from behind the paladins one after another and fell on Celes.
After the screams, the dust gradually dissipated.
I saw five strong men pressing down on Serus.
A female swordsman even stepped on Serus' head to extinguish his murderous intent.
There were also three female magicians holding wands nearby, who would come forward to kick from time to time, as if they were used to such scenes.
Seeing this scene, even the knowledgeable Miss was stunned.
"What is this Play?"
The female swordsman brushed the dust off her hands, crushed Seras's head hard with her heel, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
In the chaos, a magician squeezed out of the crowd and found the trace of Miss.
"Master Brave?"
Everyone on Miss and Celes turned their attention to the magician.
The female swordsman asked, "Where is the hero?"
The magician quickly came to Miss and saluted as part of the Holy Knights' military salute.
"Acting Legion Commander, you are finally here."
Miss frowned, "Huh?"
The wilted Serus suddenly looked up, "What?"
The magician circled around Miss and said, "No doubt, this is Mr. Miss Giles, the new legion commander."
Miss finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least these paladins would not stop him anymore.
"I said that there must be someone who knows the ring, otherwise why would Hobert force it on me?"
The magician was stunned, "What ring?"
Miss pointed to the gold ring on his feet and said, "This is it. It's the token that Hobert forced on me."
The magician squatted down, picked up the ring and blew away the dust.
"This seems to be Lord Hobert's thing, but it is definitely not a keepsake."
Miss was shocked. "No, this is really not the token of your Holy Knights?"
The magician shook his head. "We never had any tokens."
Mis asked tentatively, "Then how did you recognize me?"
The magician smiled and said, "Of course I saw you in the city of Leri, with Lord Hobert. Have you forgotten?"
Only then did Miss realize that the magician's appearance was indeed somewhat familiar.
He was even more confused, "What? No token?"
