MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 227 Who is he?
Chapter 227 Who is he?
"what is that."
Traore raised his head and stared at the dazzling red light rushing into the sky, his eyes were unsurprisingly dull.
He is a fighter, a very elite fighter. After years of training and fighting with monsters, he has a fighting sense that belongs to a fighter.
If they are fighting against opponents of the same level, they can use this sense of smell to detect the opponent's mistakes; if they are fighting against stronger enemies, they can also roughly perceive where the danger comes from.
But now, in the face of the red light penetrating the sky and the earth, he couldn't perceive anything from it.
Doesn't it do any damage?
This kind of joke is really hard to laugh.
The only possibility left, made him unbelievable.
"Sitlan, when did someone like me, or even stronger than me, come? It's impossible!"
Settland is located in a remote location, close to the neighboring country Blue Land, and it is considered one of the border cities. The nearby city-states are also places where the army must be stationed. There are indeed more than one fighters of his level. However, as the leader of this side, Marquis Traoré is not ignorant of the strong men in the surrounding Sitland and the surrounding towns. He can count the number of gaps in their weapons, and with the discipline of the army, It is impossible to allow existence of this level to cross the jurisdiction and go to other people's territory.
So if this guy isn't from the military, who is it?
Alien adventurer?
This is even more impossible.
The value of Saitlan lies in its proximity to the border. There are not many secret places or ruins worth exploring here, and there are not many uninhabited areas for more powerful monsters to survive—the golden-scaled giant bear was the result of him running a long way. Driven over, there is no such powerful monster nearby.
After considering various factors, the Marquis almost certainly said "this is impossible", even though this matter has actually happened.
"Boost!"
The Marquis gave an order, and the knights under his command immediately drove their horses towards the outpost at a rapid march.
When they arrived, what they saw was the completely destroyed outpost and the wounded with almost no losses.
The Marquis grabbed a difficult person with a sullen face and asked, "Tell me, what happened."
"Great, my lord." Seeing that it was the Marquis, the man swallowed tremblingly, and said in a panic, "Yes, a monster attacked us, we, we killed a lot of people, and then, someone made it died."
"I don't need your brief report!" The Marquis's broad palm exerted a slight force, his eyes seemed to be burning with gnawing fire, "Who is that person!"
"We, we don't know each other," the man said with a sad face, "He, he came with a lady. We really don't know who he is!"
Miss?
Marquis Traore reacted immediately.
He let go of his hand, and ordered his men to look for Corinna and bring her to him.
It didn't take much effort for the subordinates to find the slightly absent-minded girl next to the giant golden scale bear with a huge penetrating wound.
"Miss, Master is looking for you."
Corinna stared at the giant bear as if she didn't hear it, but didn't make a sound.
"Miss."
"I heard." The girl's response was very cold, far from her style of a can.
This abnormal behavior shows that she is in a very bad mood at the moment, to the point where she doesn't even pay attention to the etiquette that she has always pursued.
As the marquis's personal guards, the knights naturally knew the identity of the girl, so they didn't dare to offend them too much, so they had to send one of them back to report the situation, while the others stayed by the girl's side, waiting for her to leave.
Soon, the Marquis came to her side in person.
"Miss Corinna, I have a very strong interest in the gentleman beside you, so could you please tell me his identity?" The Marquis' words seemed to be very polite, but in fact, the coldness in that voice As cold as the moonlight tonight.
“.”
Facing the Marquis' questioning, Corinna finally stopped remaining silent. She turned her head and said briefly, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" The Marquis let out a cannibal smile, "He is your guest."
The Marquis, whose plan was ruined, was in such a bad mood that he didn't even bother to say "you" in the most polite way.
However, no matter how bad his tone was, the only answer Corina could give was "I don't know."
—She really doesn't know.
“.”
Taking a deep breath, the Marquis tried his best to slow down his mood a little.
He tried hard to tell himself that if he killed her, all his years of preparation would be in vain—he deeply knew that Enoch always liked to hold the decision-making power in his own hands, and if he broke out alone, he would definitely not get it. any response.
After some words like self-hypnosis, the Marquis finally recovered a little. The guards around him also stopped staring at the surrounding soldiers, and the palms holding the spears relaxed a little, but still Not relaxing too much.
Corinna's emotions will determine their next actions.
Fortunately, the girl never set her eyes on the Marquis, and didn't notice his unpredictable expression. As for the killing intent hidden in his words, she didn't seem to notice it, and she wasn't moved by it.
"Miss." The Marquis asked as calmly as possible, "Let's put aside the question of that person's identity. Before that, can you tell me, where is this person?"
This time, Corinna's reply was no longer "I don't know".
She turned her head to look at the Marquis, and said softly, "I want to know too."
The Marquis frowned slightly, and before he had time to ask, he saw her talking to herself.
"After killing the bear, not only me, but everyone was also looking for her, but nothing was found."
"And not only him, even the 'bard' beside him has also disappeared."
"Bard?" The Marquis suddenly remembered what Mira had told him a few days ago.
The Marquis seldom cares about things other than himself, so Mira's request was passed without any surprise, and of course he will definitely not participate.
In retrospect, inviting a bard to perform, rather than a professional team, was inherently problematic.
"This is none of Miss Mira's business." Corinna saw what the Marquis was thinking, and said calmly, "It's my request."
"I wanted to see you, so I used Miss Mira. The bard is just an excuse, an excuse I made. Miss Mira has nothing to do with this matter."
"Oh? So."
"No matter who he is, he solved some troubles for you, didn't he?" Perhaps she was finally dissatisfied with the Marquis' attitude, Corinna asked back, "He solved this sudden monster and saved so many loyal For your soldiers, you may even have averted a catastrophe for the townspeople."
"hehe."
The Marquis sneered.
He didn't think that Corinna's words were due to "Miss Innocent".
If she was really a silly white sweet, then she wouldn't appear here at all.
Besides, his plan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a conspiracy, and anyone with a little brain can figure out the joints once they think about it.
It is impossible for Corinna not to see that she was just trying to prevaricate herself, and even meant to save that mysterious man.
"Row."
The Marquis nodded, turned around and left.
Since you don’t say it, just check it yourself.
No matter what, he would drag this "good-hearted man" out and thank him mercilessly.
After the Marquis left, Corinna still hadn't left the body of the giant bear that had begun to slacken.
Some soldiers who never left thought that she wanted to collect the parts of the giant bear as materials, so they ignored her, but in fact, the golden scale giant bear, as a monster, was a rather special existence. It will be transformed into pure magic power, except for the heart which is still an organ made of flesh and blood, the other parts can be regarded as a monster if taken out alone.
After the monsters die, everything in their bodies will turn into pure magic power, which needs special means to collect, otherwise, assimilation with the heaven and earth will become their only high school destination.
At this moment, the golden-scaled giant bear in front of her died before the bloodline ability was released, so the body parts except the heart will have exactly the same ending as the monsters.
Since it is not for the material, then what is the reason?
—Korina herself didn’t know.
At this moment, her brain is extremely chaotic, and the thinking ability that she originally possessed and still can't be used at all at this time. The only thing that flickers more than other thoughts is only one doubt.
Who the **** is he?
Possessing such a powerful military force, his identity is mysterious, saying that he is a simple "traveler"?
She didn't believe it at all.
And when Corinna turned her head to find his origin through the information exposed by the other party, she suddenly found that the other party did not leave any information related to himself. He was like a white bird in the thick fog at night. The cat bounced around her, but she couldn't see the trace at all.
The only clues may only come from the "bard" beside him.
After a long time, she let out a breath of foul air slowly, and decided to learn something from "Miss Alyssa" first.
"A bard from the Blue Land? Let me see if it's true."
She murmured softly, as if she was making a decision, but she already had a faint guess in her heart.
Conjectures that completely contradict the decision.
It turned out that her guess was not wrong.
After several days of inquiring, she already knew that there is no bard named "Alyssa" in Landi at all, and even this name may be fake—because it is used as a surname in the land of Landi Kingdom. The popularity is almost the same as that of Rhine's "Green", which is three or four out of ten people.
And other towns have never heard of the arrival of such a bard.
She seemed to only exist in Setland, and only for a few days.
Korinna was finally willing to admit that she had been arranged by some plans that were hard to detect on the surface.
And just when she wanted to continue the investigation, she suddenly heard that there was an accident on the side of the Marquis.
No giant bear had dealt with the cursed wounded before, and he didn't have the resources to heal them all, so he used "send them to a big city for treatment" as an excuse to hide those people quietly, and then ordered his relatives to The guards cleaned them up.
His methods are very good, and his prestige is still there. No one suspects that his actions have other purposes, and the secrecy of the whole matter is not bad. No one has noticed his blade hidden in the depths.
However, even so, accidents still appeared.
He has two main forces, both of which have been eroded by the [Curse of Rot]. One of these two main forces followed him to wipe out the monsters, and the other was stuck on a key road to prevent the wounded from escaping. on the troops.
In a dark corner unnoticed by everyone, the [Curse of Rot] spread silently among these two troops, and because the two troops were relatively solid regular troops under the request of the Marquis, they were not wild men from mountain villages. , the physical quality is very good, which caused the [Curse of Rot] to erupt and then be detected for a longer time.
When the moment was discovered, the bodies of a large part of the people were already close to collapse.
The establishment of these two troops was almost destroyed.
No matter how rich the resources Marquis Traore possesses, he is only a Marquis after all. His identity and territory greatly limit his wealth ceiling.
Everything he owns can only support four such elite troops at most, but now, two of them have been destroyed at once, and the blow to him is also devastating.
Not to mention wasting a lot of wealth, the time spent training these troops did not happen overnight.
Under the double loss of time and money, he, who has always been in excellent physical fitness, actually fell on the sick bed.
The fall of the Marquis, coupled with the few combat effectiveness of the remaining two troops, is no longer enough for him to participate in the disputes organized by Enoch.
"So, when I don't know anything, my goal has been achieved?"
Corinna was sitting in the carriage going home, watching the people coming and going outside the window, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
"What a sarcasm."
Obviously she didn't do anything, and she didn't even know where the key point of the event was. After nearly half a month of accomplishing nothing, in just a few days, her goal was achieved inexplicably.
The only starting point she knows may be the meeting with Mr. Hodesos.
"Speaking of which he said 'I will regret it', why exactly?"
she murmured to herself.
If you say that the thing you regret is meeting him, it is undoubtedly wrong.
Although the identity and background of "Mr. Hodesos" is very mysterious, in any case, he finally helped her achieve her goal. She still has to thank him. How can she regret it?
And if it is said that the relationship with Marquis Traore broke because of this, it is impossible to say.
After the Marquis made his decision, his relationship with the Christines was destined to be irretrievable.
"So, what the heck"
Her beautiful face is clearly marked with confusion.
At this moment, a carriage passed by her car.
This shouldn't be something worth noting, after all, they haven't left the city yet, and it's normal to have carriages on the street.
However, when Corinna noticed the neck of the coachman who looked like a peasant woman, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and the blood from top to bottom of her body began to boil.
She rushed out of the carriage, rode on the horse pulling the cart, cut off the iron chain linking the cart with the sword she carried under the bewildered eyes of the coachman, twisted the reins, and yelled at the receding carriage.
"Stop it!"
