As the corpse fell weakly to the ground, the tall figure behind it was revealed, like the god of death walking out of hell, which made people feel awe.
He was wearing a heavy black armor with golden magic patterns faintly flashing on the armor, as if it contained infinite power.
He carried two spears on his back, one red and one yellow. The spears emitted a faint light, making him look mysterious.
He held a huge red sword in his hand. The sword was heavy and sharp, with billowing flames wrapped around it, as if it could cut off everything in the world.
He stood there, looking like a brave man saving the world in a heroic story, which made people admire him.
Octovia and Isabel couldn't understand what was happening before their eyes for a moment, and felt as if it was a dream.
The knight in front of him swung his sword at the thief leader and the thief who grabbed Isabel's leg without hesitation.
The sword flashed, and the light was so fast and bright that it seemed to split the air, so fast that it was dazzling.
Then the knight took a big step forward, as if he had transcended the limitations of space, and swung his sword back with all his might.
The sword light extended to the air, flew between the two thieves who were holding down Isabel's hands, flashed for a moment, and then disappeared.
The whole process went smoothly without any delay.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that people could not react.
The next moment, the upper bodies of the thieves were cut off, and blood splattered everywhere, staining the surrounding grass red.
The thief who grabbed Isabel's leg disappeared from the neck up, his head rolled to the ground, and he died with his eyes open.
The heads of the two thieves who were holding down Isabel's hands were cut in half, and a large amount of blood splattered onto the surrounding grass, adding another touch of bright red to the scenery that was already dyed red by the sunset, as if the whole world was shrouded in blood.
The thief's upper body slid down and pressed weakly on Isabel. She screamed and kicked him aside, her eyes full of fear and disgust.
The lower body that remained in place was gushing out deep red blood like a fountain, which gathered on the ground to form a pool of blood. The scene was so horrifying that it was hard to watch.
At this moment, the remaining thieves were scared to death and felt something was wrong!
This kind of strength... undoubtedly, it definitely surpassed the silver level, and even surpassed the gold level! They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Boss!?"
"Damn! What's going on?"
"You bastard, die!"
The criminals reacted quickly, brandished their weapons, and rushed towards the knight like mad dogs, trying to overwhelm the opponent with their numerical advantage.
However, their thinking was too naive.
The knight simply sneered, as if he was watching the struggle of a group of ants.
The sword flashed again, and the next moment, the criminals' heads fell to the ground!
Their bodies fell helplessly, their blood staining the ground red, as if they were sacrificing to the knight's great strength.
“Wuwaa ...
The remaining two gangsters were so frightened by the scene that they no longer had any will to fight.
They grabbed the war horses beside them and wanted to escape like stray dogs, fearing that they would be the next.
"Humph, you want to escape? Magical Shining Sword!"
The knight uttered a few words coldly and then raised his hand.
Immediately afterwards, a deep blue sword light suddenly appeared, as if summoned from the void, and flew towards the gangsters with a fierce momentum.
After the blade slashed across the necks of the two gangsters, a flash of blood rose up and then dissipated into the air.
This is magic from the Elden Ring. It is powerful and amazing.
It all happened so quickly. From the appearance of the knight to the death of all the criminals, it only took a few minutes.
three minutes?
No, maybe less than two minutes, all these criminals had died at the hands of this knight in black armor!
His powerful strength is shocking, as if he is a natural god of war and no one can defeat him.
"Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Link."
The knight looked at Isabel and Octavia on the ground, his voice steady and powerful.
At this time, Isabel and Ottovia finally saw Link's face!
His neat short hair fluttered in the wind, making him look clean and neat; his figure was strong and tall, like a moving mountain.
Oh my god! How can there be such a handsome man in the world?
Isabel and Octavia exclaimed in their hearts at the same time.
They had never seen such a handsome and powerful man, as if he was a prince from a fairy tale.
"My name is Link, an adventurer who happened to be passing by."
Link introduced himself again, his tone full of confidence and calmness.
At this time, a rustling sound was heard in the surrounding grass, and Ashaji and others who were accompanying them came closer.
They looked at the scene before them, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.
Link had actually been observing this farce for a long time.
He hid in the dark, quietly observing every detail.
However, at that time, Genali had just been knocked off his horse, but Link did not rush to save him. Instead, he chose to watch him die.
Because he knew that only in this way could he better control the situation and achieve his goals.
It would be easier for him to control them if only these two aristocratic-looking women were left.
After all, their identities and status are not simple, and they may come in handy in the future.
Fortunately, this farce did not last long, and Link quickly took action to deal with the criminals.
"We won't hurt you." Link glanced at Isabel and Octavia, his tone cold but with a hint of tenderness, "You should have some clothes to change into, go take care of yourselves first."
As he said this, he turned around and motioned for Ashaji and others to help clean up the scene.
"Thank...thank you for your rescue!"
Isabel quickly pulled her mother Octavia beside her and hid in the carriage.
They quickly changed their clothes, trying to get rid of the blood- and dirt-stained clothes as soon as possible.
Link took Maya and the others slowly to collect the money and supplies from the criminals.
He collected the steel sword, dagger, some gold and silver coins together and threw them into the king's treasure.
Then he piled the corpses aside and cast a fire magic on them.
The flames spread quickly, burning the body to ashes.
That way, no evidence would be left.
By the time they had finished all this, Isabel and Ottovia had also changed their clothes.
There were traces of tears on their cheeks, and their eyes were still filled with shock.
Today's experience was too thrilling and exciting for them. Perhaps they will remember it for the rest of their lives.
After all, if Link hadn't appeared, they would have almost lost their chastity and become playthings.
"Dear adventurer, thank you for your help."
Octavia bowed deeply, and Isabel behind her also bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
Their hearts were filled with gratitude and admiration, and they would always remember Link's life-saving grace.
Link nodded and said nothing more.
He glanced at the city of Mislina in the distance and already had a plan in mind.
"You are going to Mislina as well, right? I don't know if you will run into the companions or remnants of these criminals again. For your safety, I will escort you into the city."
His words were filled with a firmness and sincerity that could not be rejected.
"Really? Thank you so much!"
Both Octovia and Isabel showed joy on their faces.
With the escort of a powerful knight, their safety along the way was guaranteed, which was definitely much safer than for two women to travel alone.
They didn't think much about anything else, they were just simply grateful for Link's help and company.
Link and the others quietly achieved their goal, established relationships with the two men, and got a ride in their carriage.
He was secretly thinking about his next plan in his mind, but a relaxed and happy smile appeared on his face.
Fortunately, a few horses survived the melee just now. They can ride forward, which can save a lot of energy and time.
Violena, who knew how to drive a carriage, volunteered to take on the responsibility of driving the carriage.
She steered the carriage skillfully and drove forward along the winding road.
The others also put their luggage on the carriage without hesitation and got in. Some of them were chatting and laughing, some were resting their eyes, or appreciating the scenery along the way, enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort.
Link also found a place to sit, leaning against the carriage and closing his eyes to rest.
He closed his eyes, but was not really asleep.
He was thinking about the next itinerary and plans, and how to better use this opportunity to achieve his goals.
On the other hand, Isabel and Octavia always looked at Link unconsciously with their beautiful eyes.
They were attracted by Link's handsomeness and strength, but they were a little afraid and looked away, not daring to look him in the face.
When Isabel thought of what happened just now, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. However, her mother Octovia seemed much calmer.
I have to say that the man in front of me is really handsome. At least he looks much better than that short and ugly husband.
Thinking of this, Octovia's cheeks turned slightly red.
Tsk...
As the carriage went over the hill and out of the jungle, the city surrounded by tall walls appeared before our eyes.
"We're here, the city of Mislina is just ahead!"
139. Cannibalization
"Is this... the city of Mithrina?"
From afar, the city surrounded by tall walls looks quite majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The city walls are tall and thick, as if they can resist the invasion of all foreign enemies.
However, when we really got closer, the scene before us was disappointing.
The city walls were covered with holes and pits, which showed that they had experienced countless battles and destructions. Those holes were like scars of the city, silently telling of the suffering it had endured.
The townspeople wandering around had pale faces, were skinny, half-naked, and their eyes were full of despair and helplessness.
They walked slowly along the dilapidated streets with tired steps, as if every step carried a heavy burden.
The whole town is filled with an atmosphere of desolation and sadness, as if it has been forgotten by time.
"How... did it turn out like this?"
Isabel stared with eyes wide open, looking at everything in front of her in disbelief. She had spent countless happy times here, but now she could only watch this once prosperous city fall into ruins.
"During the time we were away, what on earth happened in Mislina City?!"
Octavia clenched her fists, her voice filled with endless anger and unwillingness. Tears shone in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
Mislina, a poor little town on the border, was once full of life and vitality despite its scarce resources.
But now, it is like an abandoned child, curled up alone in a corner, waiting for the judgment of fate.
"Guards!" Octovia took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then shouted loudly.
"Hmm... ? Ah! Lady Octovia!" The guard at the city gate obviously recognized Octovia. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and hurried to the carriage with the other two guards.
"Guards, take us back to the City Lord's Mansion. As for Mr. Link, thank you very much for your help this time. If it is convenient, please come with us to the City Lord's Mansion. We will give you a satisfactory reward!" Ottovia said in a firm tone, her eyes revealing gratitude and trust towards Link.
"Oh? If you're going to the City Lord's Mansion, then I'm on the way there." Link smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "President Lina of the Blackrock Town Adventurer's Guild asked me to lead a team to help. Now it's really a coincidence."
Link's words made Octovia and Isabel happy.
