Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 239
We can't let these guys idle around like a bunch of vagrants any longer.

"We need to establish an attendance system." Stannis said to himself and kicked Robert, who was still hugging his thigh, away, and then he and Bachelor Romon rode on horseback along the newly built gravel road. Get out of town slowly.

However, there was a person blocking their way on the road.

It was Batesmore. As the captain of the infantry, this guy was the chief culprit of absenteeism. He always disappeared for several days without making a sound, holding his blue-lit Soul Slayer Sword, and waited for him to return. After a few days, I received news that all the bandits and robbers had been killed.

Of course, Stannis can't blame him for his killing behavior. After all, this kind of spontaneous killing behavior for the people is worth encouraging, but every time Batesmore comes back, he lies on the bed like his soul has been stripped for several days. It made Stannis feel that his salary was a bit wronged.

But right now, how could he, who has always been invisible, appear on his own initiative?Stannis was still looking for him, because the black armor that appeared on him last time was somewhat similar to the armor worn by Batesmore when he fought the Dire Wolf.

"Infantry Captain, I haven't seen you for a long time! I almost forgot your existence!" Stannis teased him.

But Batesmore didn't feel ashamed of his dereliction of duty at all, he just said with pity: "I will accompany you to the Academy City."

"Oh?" Stannis was moved and surprised, it seemed that this guy knew something.

He looked at Maester Romond, and the old man closed his eyes and nodded to him.

"Okay, you come with me, but I won't count the money for you if you cut off the head during the journey."

So a group of three headed towards Xuecheng.

Since the famous school city of the Erathia Empire is not in the Principality of Tanis, but in the territory of Lockair, which is also one of the nine principalities in the west, the three people have to cross the Principality of Tanis to get there, but just It will take four days to get there.

Stannis also took this opportunity to familiarize himself with the terrain of the Principality of Tanis. The entire Principality is a typical three-level terrain, with mountainous plateaus in the west, large plains in the center, and impact plains and forests in the east, where Stannis is.

"The terrain from low to high is really not good for me to launch an attack." Stannis scratched his head and felt that the God of Traveling seemed to have added difficulty to the task.

Along the way, they stayed in small hotels and pretended to be ordinary businessmen, because as the thorn in Duke Garcia's side, he didn't want to attract the attention of the black watch.

But on the last day, which was near the school city, they had no choice but to sleep in the wild because they couldn't find someone to stay before sunset.

At this time, Batesmore finally showed his usefulness. As a mercenary, he often slept on the streets, so he also mastered the skills of survival in the wild. For example, a warm flame is burning among the three of them now.

Stannis rubbed his body, trying to warm himself up, but in the end he felt his body itching more and more, and then he simply picked up his sleeve and scratched his arms frantically, as if trying to scratch the skin off.

"Your Excellency!" Maester Romon saw something was wrong and immediately stopped him loudly.

Stannis reacted, he stopped what he was doing, and began to understand where the black warrior's skin went, he tore off his own skin alive!

On the other hand, Batesmore remained silent. This was just the beginning of being possessed by the black armor.

Stannis decided to say something to distract himself from the ant bite beneath his skin.

"Bachelor Romon, I didn't expect you to be able to use such a powerful magic." He changed the topic to that night again. At the critical moment when the corpses besieged the city, the old man suddenly cast a powerful spell to save them. One life.

The old man stroked his beard embarrassingly, "Where, where, I am still far behind my teacher."

"Don't be humble! Why have you been refusing to show it?"

"After my wife died, I stopped using magic and concentrated on being a bachelor." Bachelor Romon's eyes darkened.

"That's such a pity." Stannis said so, but he could also understand that with such great power, he could only watch his relatives die in front of his own eyes. Anyone would feel desperate and give up their power.

"But I see you used more than one kind of magic at that time?" Stannis secretly scratched his butt with his hand to relieve the itching.

"Yes, I used the Thunder Element 'Lightning Bolt' and the Earth Element 'Puppet Barrier' in Elemental Magic."

Unexpectedly, the old man was so powerful, Stannis decided that he would not drive the old man away when he went to the battlefield in the future, but also let him come up to hold the line.

"Okay, Your Excellency, don't chat any more, go to bed early, we will probably arrive at the Academy City after another day's driving tomorrow."

Stannis agrees, the itching all over his body is unbearable, he hopes to meet Sasha's soul fragment again in his dream and give him a powerful ability to relieve the itching...

In the middle of the night, Stannis woke up from his dream because he was suffocated by his urine. It seemed that the woman was actually scratching him in his dream. Now he has no other negative state besides being cold.

However, with the light of the bonfire, Stannis found that only Maester Romond was still snoring in bed, and Batesmore had gone somewhere.

He stood up in a daze, and found a black figure with his back facing him by the pond not far away.

It seems that it should be his infantry captain, but why is he standing by the lake without sleeping at night?Don't pick this time to think about life!

Stannis crept over to see what he was looking at.

But Batesmore had noticed him and turned slowly.

At this time, the eyes of this man whose past was blank also glowed red.

"Well, now it's time to tell my story."

"Are you a cup cat?" Stannis wanted to say something to ease the less friendly atmosphere.

Batesmore didn't speak, he just pulled out the sword wrapped in the old scabbard.

A strange blue light bloomed in the darkness, and Stannis couldn't help covering his eyes. When he opened them again, countless white stars like dandelion stamens floated around him.

"This is?" Stannis fiddled with the white light closest to him curiously, but it escaped his hand as if alive and continued to wander.

"It's the soul."

A voice that Stannis had never heard before sounded, and the low voice was so chilling.
