Soul Echo

The team of merchants assembled at the town entrance. The mercenaries were maintaining their weapons. From time to time, their eyes glanced to the middle of the team, where a cart driven by two horses was parked. A man lay beside him a living troll.

The troll's wound was scabbed over, and the resilience compromised with the iron lumps lingering in the body, instead of squeezing it out.

Zhong Ye took out the iron block from the troll's throat and inserted it into the cervical spine in a different direction, cutting off the connection between the troll's brain and the body, and ensuring its life.

He's going to take this thing to Constantinople, where there are several mages' lands around that city, and someone should be interested in it, a troll with human-like intelligence. Unseen, in this world can be said to be unique.

If possible, Zhong Ye would prefer to use this troll to connect with the Victor Mage Tower, because he remembered that a European beta player mentioned that he was studying in the Mage Tower.

And he is also a little puzzled, why the troll will attack himself first - not that he thinks it is a good thing for trolls to attack other people, but he also has a trait of [affinity physique], it stands to reason It is said that any creature on the world will not have a low opinion of him, let alone become hostile immediately after seeing him.

Could it be that the information displayed by system is wrong?

The people in the caravan have been busy since the sun has not yet risen, and they will not solve all the problems that need to be solved until the sun is high.

Although unpleasant things have happened to the mercenaries and merchants before, for safety, the merchants can only continue to cooperate with the mercenaries while holding their noses.

Even if Zhong Ye was willing to accompany them, they wouldn't dare to treat Zhong Ye as a mercenary who could be called to and fro.

In fact, with such a large team walking together, let alone wild beasts, even some powerful monsters have to avoid them.

The Reef Town is about three days away from the 'Cloto' exit, or longer if it's on foot.

The fortress of Cloto is not close to the sea. If you take a fishing boat to the fortress to ask for help, it will take at least three days. Compared with the land route that can carry a lot of supplies, this road is equivalent to suffering. The townspeople are also very determined.

Zhong Ye sat on the scooter, his body swaying as the wheels undulated, with a bag full of field equipment and weapons at his hand.

After catching the troll alive yesterday, he dragged the smelly monster to the beach to wash it, and bought some spices to sprinkle on it, otherwise, he really wouldn't be sure Can sit next to a troll.

The hideous head is now lying beside Zhong Ye, with a rucksack in between, Zhong Ye can also feel the angry gaze from the troll.

But he ignored it, sitting cross-legged and breathing slowly.

[Breathing Technique: With a powerful perception, you sense the power contained in your body, and you understand the method of mobilizing this power with your breath. At the same time, you also learn how to use your breath to strengthen yourself— - The combination of internal and external breathing is for 'breathing and breathing']

[Qi: Everyone has such a power in their bodies, the difference between you and others is that you can use and flexibly control this power Strength - During battle, you can use 'Qi' to strengthen body functions and recover from injuries, and in normal times, you can consume 'Qi' to slowly strengthen yourself]

[Breathing Technique] is Zhong Ye's realization of 'transcendent' The skills obtained from the source', which is also the difference between the system and the game in the description of the same thing.

There is no [Breathing Technique] in the game, and the description of 'Qi' is also a 'supernatural ability' rather than a 'supernatural source', and the breathing law is completely figured out by Zhong Ye himself.

Through these things, Zhong Ye has some guesses, but he has no way to prove his guesses are correct.

But after getting these two skills, Zhong Ye began to think that soul fragment is not so important anymore.

There was a commotion in front of the team, so Zhong Ye's attention was summon back, and he stood up and watched.

—The army of Fort Kloto is here!

The temporary leader walked to the front of the team to negotiate with the army. After a while, the team was able to move forward, and the army came from the outside to the middle of the team.

A team of twelve all wore light armor, rode on horses, and had a strong crossbow on their backs, assaults the senses.

The officer headed with a feather in his helmet led the team to the scooter, glanced curiously, and said with emotion: "It's really alive...how did you do it?"

p>

Zhong Ye pulled the troll's head up and let the officer see the iron block on the back of his neck, "Apart from here, there are also on the limbs."

"Hi!" The officer sucked in a breath gas.

My eyes couldn't stay on Zhong Ye's face and the troll's neck moved back and forth. After a while, he couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it?"

By him Zhong Ye was also stunned when he asked such a question, and opened his mouth to explain, but when the words came to his mouth, he himself fell into deep thought.

Years of exercise, strong physical fitness, rich combat experience, a flexible mind, and a little luck—but can he say such words?

Seeing Zhong Ye frowned and frowned, the officer opened his mouth slightly, "...Sorry, if you don't want to say it, you can leave it alone."

Zhong Ye sighed, shook his head and said : "I just don't know how to explain it, except for me, probably no one can use this method to catch trolls."

hearing this, the officer couldn't help but looked towards trolls, agreeing with nodded , "Indeed."

Although I made another trip in vain, the matter is resolved anyway, and I don't need to rush around for this matter in the future.

At noon, the team had to stop and rest due to the intense sunlight.

The officer ignored the flattery of the merchants, walked over to Zhong Ye and sat down, took out a dry ration and threw it to him, "Try this."

As the fortress of Cloto Soldiers, no one dared to deduct their supplies, the dry food that the officers carried was obviously much better than what Zhong Ye prepared himself.

Zhong Ye put away the bread that was as hard as a stone, picked up the dry food that looked like naan and took a bite, "Thank you."

The officer took off his helmet, smiled slightly, "My name is Emile, are you from Easterland?"

"Yes."

"Why did you come to Xilu?" Emile asked curiously, "I have been in contact with other people. The Easterlanders in the Easterland feel that they do not like to be far away from Easterland, and even fewer are willing to settle in the West Land, and most of them come to the West Land after they can’t stay in Easterland.”

Zhong Ye chewed and was silent for a moment. , "...in order to learn more martial arts, in order to become stronger."

Although this reason was placed on him by Sun God, it inexplicably matched his thoughts.

Didn't he join the "Soul Echo" beta test for this reason?

"Wow..." Emil sighed, then didn't know what to say.

At this moment, he saw the scooter on the opposite side, and his eyes lit up, "By the way, what are you going to do with that troll? It is alive after all. Bring it into the fortress. I hope you can sell it to me if you don't mind, my younger brother wants to learn magic, and if there's a troll as a gift, he might be trained."

"Sorry, I'm planning to go to Constantinople and sell this troll to some mage - I have some questions and hope to get answers from them."

Although Being rejected by Zhong Ye, Emil did not feel embarrassed, but was very excited, "Are you going to Constantinople? My home is in Constantinople, and after this mission is over, my vacation can probably be approved. That's right, if possible, we can make friends. My family has a caravan that has just returned from the Lower East Province, and is still resting in the fortress. I can ask them to hire you for a lot of money. After all, you are from Easterland, and you must be unfamiliar with it. If you want to go to Constantinople, you still need a guide who is familiar with the route!"

Hearing the phrase 'familiar route', the corners of Zhong Ye's eyes twitched slightly, remembering that Map in backpack.

"It's a good proposal."

"It's settled then!" Emil laughed happily. If Zhong Ye can be hired, the safety along the way will be guaranteed. .

Since he can deal with trolls, there will be no danger on the road unless he encounters dragons or demons.
