The man with the big knife obviously has A-level strength. He uses a huge scimitar to attack tightly. Although his body movements are not as cunning as the Silver Moon Scimitar, his speed and strength are far superior. His attacks are continuous like a storm.
However, even with such a fierce attack, Isidor was never able to reveal any flaws. Although he was always on the defensive, Isidor seemed to be in control of the situation on the battlefield.
"Damn it, why don't you fall down!" the man with the big knife roared.
Seeing that the other party was overwhelmed by anger, Isidor decided to further provoke him.
"Your junior sister had a good figure, and she was a white tiger. After she died, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but unfortunately her body was chopped into pieces. I lost interest in her, and finally had to throw her into the woods to feed the dogs." Isidor sneered.
"What did you say? How dare you treat such a beautiful woman like this! Treating my favorite woman like this!" The man with the big knife was really enraged, and his knife became more and more powerful, but his moves became simpler and simpler. In this way, Isidor's defense became easier.
"Bai is very white, her whole body is white, but there is only one black spot. Guess which one it is?" Isidor continued to speak rudely while dodging the man's attack.
"Which place?" The man with the big knife was stunned for a moment, obviously very interested in this.
"I'll tell you when you win." Isidor said, blocking the scimitar and stabbing the man's chest with his backhanded sword.
"Fuck you! My junior sister is all white, there is no black spot on her body!" The man with the big knife was furious, and his knife skills became more and more messy.
"Are you sure? Have you seen her whole body? Have you carefully looked at every inch of skin and every detail? No, a bootlicker like you definitely haven't seen her body, right?" Isidor continued to make up stories.
"I'm not a bootlicker! My junior sister cares about me a lot! She even smiled at me before, she must have me in her heart!" The man with the big knife was already furious to the extreme, he no longer paid attention to Isidor's words, he just swung his knife blindly, however, in his heart, he couldn't help but recall and imagine the beautiful body of his junior sister.
"You lose." Seeing that the man's steps were disordered, Isidor immediately seized the opportunity to send a shock wave to force back the man with the big knife, and then stabbed his arm with a sword.
The man with the machete was startled, and in order to save his right hand, he had to throw the machete aside.
Isidor brandished the golden sword and pressed forward step by step. After a fierce attack and defense just now, Isidor's endurance had only dropped by half, but the man with the big knife had already begun to lose his strength.
In addition, there was a high wall between bare hands and armed. After a few moves, the calf of the big knife man was chopped by the golden sword, and the whole calf immediately turned into a golden skull.
"Hehe, I lost, you can kill me! But don't even think about going back alive! The man with the scimitar just now is the eldest senior brother of our Cangyue Sect. His strength is comparable to that of an S-level adventurer. He once slaughtered a mercenary group of hundreds of people alone. Even if he broke into a cave guarded by a dragon, he could steal treasures and escape unscathed. A small character like you can't even survive ten moves in his hands!" The man with the big knife staggered and fell to the ground. Although he was unarmed, he still pointed at Isidor and shouted arrogantly.
"Are you referring to this?" Iowa asked coldly as she threw the other man's double swords and head to the ground.
"Fuck, you are so efficient!" Isidor said in surprise.
"It wasn't that easy. This guy was quite capable, but he lacked experience in dealing with assassins. So I cut off his head when he wasn't paying attention." Iowa said calmly.
"Ah? This works?" Isidor said in disbelief.
"This...how is it possible? How is it possible? You killed the successor of the Cangyue Sect. Master will not let you go! The Cangyue Sect will not let you go!" The man with the big knife stared at his companion's head with wide eyes and could not help but roar loudly.
"Have we poked the monkey's nest? This is really troublesome." Isidor frowned and chopped off the head of the man with the big knife with the golden sword to prevent him from talking too much.
Chapter 49: Maid No. 2 also wants to monopolize her master
After listening to the reports from the goblins and dark elves, Esna hesitated for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's leave Grimdor."
"Eh? Are you leaving? I thought based on your personality you would definitely take the initiative." Isidor said with some surprise.
"These minions are not worth our time, and the new blueprint has been drawn. Next, it's time to forge a new sword for Mr. Isidor." Esna said, pointing to the weapon blueprint on the table.
"Forge a sword? The one I have now is quite convenient for me to use." said Isidor.
"That sword relies too much on magical effects. It might be good for dealing with minions, but anyone with a little bit of skill will prepare some means to increase resistance as a countermeasure. In this way, the effectiveness of the golden sword will be greatly reduced." Esna explained.
"That's true. The golden sword didn't play any role when dealing with Xiao and that man with a big sword." Isidor nodded.
"That's right. I will send out my familiar later to inform my companions to meet up at the city north of the Death Mountains." Esina said, stretching out her hand to call a pigeon. The pigeon landed on Esina's shoulder, looking quite intimate, and it was obvious that it had been raised for a long time.
"Let's pack up and set off. Isidor, you go and say goodbye to Miss Nymega." Esna said, taking out two pieces of letter paper and began to write quickly.
Isidor nodded. He knew that the day of separation would come sooner or later, so he got up and went to the sanatorium to visit Nimega and Abe.
"Abe, I'm going to put the sword in." Isidor said to Abe who was lying on the bed, holding the golden sword.
"Well, Abe is ready. Please put the sword in, master." Abe said nervously.
"If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me at any time." Isidor said as he slowly inserted the golden sword into Abe's body.
Abe tensed up her body nervously, and the tip of the sword pierced into her body smoothly without leaving any wounds. It seemed that the characteristics of Abe's slime had not really disappeared.
"Everything is in. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." Aibei breathed a sigh of relief and patted his belly.
"Yes, ever since you merged with Nymega, your body structure has become closer to that of humans. I thought your body could no longer accommodate the golden sword." Isidor said.
"There are indeed changes compared to before, but as long as the access is slower, it won't be a problem." Abe replied.
"Very good, then this sword will be left to you and Nymega for self-defense. Although I have asked Dora Mei to help look after you, you still have to have some ability to protect yourselves." Isidor said.
"Aibei knows. Aibei will protect herself and wait for the master to come back." Aibei blinked her pink eyes and nodded vigorously.
"By the way, where is Nymega? Why didn't she come out today?" Isidor asked curiously.
"Sister Nimega stayed up late last night and hasn't woken up yet." Abei said, pointing to her closed right eye.
"It's really convenient for you two to let the other one control your body while you sleep." Isidor sighed.
"Master, can you hug me?" Abe suddenly hugged Isidor's arm and said.
"Ah? Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Isidor was caught off guard for a moment.
"Master...has never been alone with Maid No. 2. Every time...he shares her with Sister Nimega...Abe, I also want to have all of Master to myself this time." Abe blushed and lowered her head, not looking into Isidor's eyes.
Isidor suddenly realized that although the girl in front of him was not good at expressing herself, she was secretly in love with him.
Because of their shared senses, Abe could also empathize with Nimega's physical reactions.
Although Abe and Nymega have a good relationship, and Abe even regards Nymega as a sister she can depend on, out of a woman's instinct, she still wants to monopolize her man.
"Okay, just the two of us," Isidor said, gently stroking Abe's head.
Abe said, sitting obediently on the bed, waiting for Isidor to arrive like a present to be opened.
There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air. Isidore stretched out his hands and hugged Abe warmly.
Abe's limbs also entangled like an octopus, hugging Isidor tightly.
......
When Isidor got dressed, Abe was still lying on the wet sheets, savoring the aftertaste of what had just happened.
"Nimega, it's about time you woke up, right?" Isidor said.
"Look at what you have done. Sister Esna warned us not to do strenuous exercise." Nymega opened her right eye, yawned and said.
"Nimega, I'm here to say goodbye to you. We are going to the north of the continent to find the secret of the Cup of Babylon. You and Abe should stay here and rest well. I have asked Dora Mei to look after you." Isidor explained his purpose to her.
"I have been mentally prepared for this. A real man has ambitions. I don't want my man to stay at home all day like a useless novelist, traveling around the world relying only on his imagination." Nimega said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not that incompetent." Isidor said with a smile.
"This is for you. I stayed up all night last night to make a pair of boots. I didn't expect to use them today." Nymega said, taking out a pair of boots from the cabinet and handing them to Isidor, kissing him on the lips.
Isidor took a look at the boots and saw that the soles were thick and the material was strong, which was obviously a durable item for long journeys. Although it looked a bit rough, it must have taken a lot of effort for Nymega, who was not a shoemaker, to make it.
Isidor put on his leather boots and gave his old shoes to Nymega to keep. Then he pulled out a white hair from the knot given by Noelle and handed it to her solemnly.
"Keep this, it may be useful later."
After saying this, Isidor said goodbye to Nymega and set out on a long journey with Esna and Iovia.
Chapter 50: The Harpy
The Death Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles between heaven and earth, dividing the entire earth into north and south.
In the mountains, there lived countless monsters, and it was originally a restricted area that could not be crossed.
The land north of the mountains is extremely barren, and the population is far less prosperous than that of the southern continent, but it is rich in minerals and many resources that are extremely scarce in the southern continent.
In order to connect the north-south trade route, people opened up roads in several relatively flat areas of the Death Mountain Range, and offered rewards to guide adventurers to fight monsters here to keep the trade route open. The establishment of Grimdor Town was to escort such a trade route.
However, even so, doing business across the north and south is still an extremely dangerous thing. Merchants who dare to do this more or less have a gambler's mentality: if you win, you will make a lot of money, but if you lose, you will be left dead in the wilderness.
These adventurous businessmen are called "those who travel north and south" among the business community. In folk sayings, some people also use this term to refer to desperadoes.
What Isidor and the other two were going to do was even crazier than the group of people who were "going north and south". The route planned by Esina was to bypass the gentle road and go straight into the mountains, taking a shortcut through the Death Mountain Range.
In this case, you will have to face steep mountain roads and countless monsters.
"Esina, sometimes I really doubt whether you are crazy. Miss Doramei has specially waived the toll for us, but you insist on not taking the main road." Isidor knocked down the monster in front of him with a stick and complained to Esina breathlessly.
Because the golden sword was left to Nymega, Isidor had no suitable weapon and had to carve a wooden stick for self-defense.
"Don't worry, with Iowa and I here, there won't be any problems. This will be faster, and I'll also pick up some things along the way." Esna said, using telekinesis to blast away all the monsters in front of her.
"That seems to be true..." Isidor was speechless as he watched Esna effortlessly deal with a large group of monsters. After all, any one of these monsters was enough to fight him for a long time.
The three of them went straight into the mountains and soon arrived at a steep peak.
The mountain peaks towered into the clouds, and on the stone ridges of the peaks, there were many huge bird nests hanging. If you look closely, you can vaguely see many big birds circling in the mountain mist.
"What kind of bird is this? How can it build a nest in a place like this?" Isidor asked in surprise.
"This is not a bird, it's a harpy. They are often considered to be distant relatives of the demons, but they are actually a subspecies of dragons. Although they are monsters, they have a considerable degree of intelligence, and the longest-lived ones among them can even speak multiple languages." Eisna explained.
"What? How can this thing be related to the dragon clan? Even if it is not the demon clan, it should at least be the monster clan, right? Look, their name is harpies." Iovia couldn't help but complain.
"That's not important. What's important is that these banshees love shiny things very much, so they often collect a lot of metal-rich ores and put them in bird nests. This is also a symbol of their status in the tribe." Aisina said.
"Esina, you don't want to climb up the mountain and steal the metals they collect from the bird's nests, do you?" asked Isidor.
"Stealing? Can something that a scholar does be called stealing?" Esina said unhappily.
"It's obviously stealing..." Isidor retorted in a low voice.
Before he could finish his words, he saw a gigantic harpy circling down from the sky. Her entire body was fiery red, and her body was about the same size as an ordinary person, but her wingspan was over ten meters, so she looked extremely huge.
"You guys! Where are you from? Are you going to steal our bird eggs?" the harpy spoke in human language.
"Don't worry, King of the Harpies. I am not interested in your eggs at all. I just want the ores you collected." Esna replied.
"Hmph, in the end you are still coveting our wealth. Greedy human, accept your punishment!" said the banshee, flapping her wings, and countless feathers shot out like flying knives, heading straight for the three people.
Iovia and Isidor quickly hid behind a rock, only to see stone chips flying everywhere. The feathers were so powerful that they could penetrate deeply into the stone!
However, Aisina had no intention of dodging. She stood there quietly without blinking. The feathers hit her body and bounced off like BB bullets hitting steel plates, not hurting her at all.
"Ahhh!" The harpy saw that the feathers were useless, so she cried angrily and flapped her wings, causing a whirlwind. In the whirlwind, there were more feathers, which swirled at high speed in the wind like the blades of a juicer.
The whirlwind immediately enveloped Esna, and lasted for more than a minute. When the whirlwind stopped, a layer of the stone ground was scraped away, but Esna, who was in it, was still unharmed.
"You lose hair really easily. Do you want me to recommend a shampoo to you?" Aisina asked provocatively.
"Ahhh! You cunning humans must be using some tricks to deceive me again! Look at me summoning a storm to sweep across this area, and see where you can hide!" said the harpy, flying to a high place, hooking a stone with her claws and hanging on the cliff, folding her wings and chirping non-stop, as if chanting some large-scale magic.
"I want to correct three of your mistakes: First, none of us three is human; second, I didn't use any tricks; third... I can't continue - Iowa, have you bought enough time? I can't hit her with my telekinesis at this distance!" Esna shouted.
While Esina was speaking, Isidor only saw a black shadow flash across the mountain, climb up the rock wall, and appear behind the harpy in an instant.
"You high elves are such a trouble. You have to show off before the fight. If you had used magic from the beginning, wouldn't it have been over long ago?" Iowa complained while pressing a dagger against the harpy's neck.
"Huh?" The harpy was startled, as if she had never expected to be attacked.
"Bullshit, take us to the top of the mountain to get the ore, or I'll pull you apart like a bald bird!" Iowa said, stretching out her hand to pull out a large piece of feathers and throwing them on the ground.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll give you the ore in my nest!" The harpy felt the coolness of the dagger and quickly surrendered.
The harpy let out a long cry and called a few companions who were smaller than her, who carried Esna and Isidor to the top of the mountain.
At the highest point of the mountain, there are several huge bird's nests that look like palaces. There are no other decorations in the nests, only countless shining minerals and gems, and a number of bird eggs clustered inside.
Countless harpies were circling around the mountain, many of them were hostile towards the three men, but when they saw that it was their leader who had sent them up there himself, they did not dare to really attack, and just circled around them and made a lot of noise.
Chapter 51 A Strong Man Falls from the Sky
"It would be great if Emmeline was here. It's not good for the team to lack anti-aircraft firepower." Esna said as she looked at the harpies flying around.
"Who is Emmeline?" asked Isidor.
"She's my sister. She's an excellent archer and is studying in the demihuman kingdom in the south. I asked her to come and help this time, but she lives far away, so she hasn't arrived yet," Esna explained.
"Okay, let's pick up the necessary ores and leave! I don't want to stay in this steep place for too long. It's freezing here." Iowa wrapped her clothes tightly, obviously not used to the cold wind at high altitudes.
Esna nodded, paced back and forth between the nests, looked around carefully, and finally selected a few pieces of metal ores of different colors and threw them in front of Isidor.
"Isidor, these ores contain excellent metals. Any one of them is a top-quality material in the outside world. Pick one and use it as the raw material for making weapons." Esna.
"So you came here to find raw materials for weapons for me?" Isidor was surprised, and a warm feeling arose spontaneously.
"That's right. This is my gift for you. Choose one quickly! Otherwise Iovia will freeze to death." Esna said with a smile.
