Chapter 72 - Danger!
Chapter 72: Danger!
“Phyllis, is… is what you said true?” One of the gnomes asked in surprise.
At the same time, more and more gnomes turned to look at Lilian.
“It’s true. Sister’s swordsmanship is amazing. She’s capable of defeating nine villains by herself!” Phyllis immediately clenched her fists and said excitedly as she recalled what had happened previously.
Hearing her words, the clansmen did not appear to be very happy. Instead, their previously bright eyes became a little dim.
This girl was able to save Phyllis from the hands of nine villains, but she was only a little girl. No matter how strong her swordsmanship was, she was only one person. The Wild Wolf Mercenaries had a leader and four deputy leaders… They had close to a hundred members, and each of them was a good fighter. No matter how strong this little girl was, how could she be capable of killing so many people?
However, it seemed that she wanted to help their tribe, so regardless, her intention was good.
“No matter what, I really have to thank you for this. If you ever need any help, our Goblin tribe will definitely help you out.”
Hearing this, Lilian’s eyes flashed with joy. The most important purpose for her coming here was to obtain information about the final trial.
Furthermore, she wanted to find an item that could help Mike recover.
So, she opened her mouth and said, “Village Chief, I have two requests that I hope you can help me with?”
Under Cartier’s expectant gaze, Lilian opened her mouth and said, “I have a friend who may have suffered some traumatic injuries and I think his condition has remained unchanged. I hope that you can help him.”
Hearing this, Cartier smiled and nodded. “This is a small matter. We have the best herbs to treat traumatic injuries here. We will definitely be able to save your friend.”
After saying that, Cartier gestured to a gnome to hand over the best healing herbs to Lilian.
Seeing these medicinal herbs, Lilian’s eyes lit up.
Mike would be saved. She then quickly thanked the village chief for his kindness.
However, she didn’t know that her second request would make the gnomes extremely angry. Even Cartier, the village chief, became extremely angry!
“Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief. The other request I have is that I’d like to know if there is a training ground here?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire place fell so silent that you could have even heard a pin drop!
The gnomes’ faces were filled with anger as they roared, “Training ground? As expected, you are no different from those Wild Wolf mercenaries. They have been conspiring to discover our tribe’s secret technique!”
“That’s right, the secret technique that we have been guarding for thousands of years that we will not tell you anything about. The point is that we will not tell you anything at all!”
“Even if we are cursed by black magic to forever become gnomes, we will not betray our master’s Order!”
“That’s right, get lost. You are not welcome here!”
“Get lost quickly, or else we will lock you up!”
…
The Goblins’ eyes were red as they roared. Even Cartier did not make a sound to stop his tribesmen, so one could imagine how furious they were!
When she saw this, Lilian understood that she had said something wrong. However, just as she was about to explain herself, the sound of heavy footsteps could suddenly be heard coming from behind her.
Tap tap tap ~
Thump, thump, thump
Hearing the sound of these footsteps, the goblins instantly became frightened. One by one, they hid within the tribe, not daring to come out.
This was because the sound of these footsteps was from the members of the Wild Wolf Mercenaries.
“Hahaha, Fourth Brother, you have achieved a great feat this time. Not only did you find a wife for the leader, but you also let these stubborn stinky gnomes reveal that they really have a secret technique!”
“Yeah, the boss has been researching black magic for quite some time. When we go back and inform him of this news, the boss will definitely reward us handsomely!”
“If we knew that obtaining a secret technique was so simple, why didn’t we get this trial ground earlier?”
“As long as we obtain this secret technique, we can report back to the Irish Empire, and the High Priest will definitely be able to bring black magic to the entire continent once again!”
“That’s right. If we are really able to obtain the power of black magic, we will definitely be able to obtain the power of immortality!”
“Then, let’s quickly capture her. We have made the leader very anxious.”
“There’s no rush. I have already left a letter for the leader. He knows that we are leading a team out and won’t be in a hurry!”
The group of close to 30 members of the Wild Wolf Mercenaries began to murmur, obvious pleasure appearing on their faces.
“You bunch of midgets! Hurry up and tell me the passage of the Trial Field. If not, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“That’s right, you bunch of little brats must have used some sort of concealment method. It doesn’t make sense that we’ve been here for more than ten years, yet we still haven’t found a single thing.”
Rough voices spoke out at the same time, their tone filled with ferocity and threat!
“Sirs… Sirs, we are just a bunch of lowly gnomes. We have never even been out of this mountain. How could we possibly know about the passage?” Cartier said with a worried expression.
“Hahaha, do you think that the intelligence of us humans is lower than your lowly species? Moreover, two of the Vice Leaders of our Wild Wolf Mercenaries have come here personally. If you speak nonsense, I will be the first to cut off your tongue and exterminate your entire race!”
Hearing these voices, the gnomes did not even dare to breathe loudly, because what they had said was true. Phyllis’ parents had said the wrong thing, which had resulted in their tongues been cut out by the other party. Even their heads had been cut off and kicked around like a ball in front of their faces.
Hearing this voice, Lilian, who was nearby, frowned.
Why were these bastards here again?
When she saw the bald man sitting on the horse, her heart thumped.
It looks like this b*stard had run back and called for reinforcements!
Thirty-seven people had come and had now surrounded the gnome tribe.
It seemed that she had put Phyllis’ tribesmen in harm’s way.
Just then, the bald man’s playful voice could be heard. “Oh, if it isn’t this the great beauty? It looks like you’re here too. This time, let me give you another choice. Come to my mercenary group and let our brothers have a good time. Maybe then we will allow these gnomes to live.”
He had fought Lilian before and knew that Lilian was soft-hearted. Thus, he pressured her to stand against the gnomes.
As to whether or not to kill these gnomes, that was not up to Lilian to decide. Even if she agreed to their request, these gnomes would also not be able to escape the pain of torture.
“B*stard!” Lilian clenched her teeth, her expression filled with anger.
Not only did she feel betrayed, but she had received a severe backlash from her own good intentions!
At the same time, when she saw the thirty-seven villains, she also felt a lot of pressure in her heart.
After all, it would be much too difficult for her to catch all of these villains in one go.
However, although she felt some pressure in her heart, she did not show any pain on her face because she still had a trump card, which was the spirit necklace.
This spirit necklace had been passed down by the Kings of the Irish Empire over the years. It was enough to provide the host with strong spiritual power for a short period of time. At the same time, it would greatly increase their combat strength as well.
Previously, she had only used seven layers of spiritual power. As long as she did not use more than ten layers, there would not be any side effects.
Therefore, it was not that she did not have the strength to fight!
Thinking of this, Lilian’s eyes suddenly became firm. At the same time, she used her hand to press the button behind the necklace.
Click!
A soft sound was heard as the determination in her eyes increased.
Following that, her aura gradually became stronger.
Crush!
Very quickly, Lilian returned once again to her previous peak condition.
The reason she hid her strength was because she did not want to attract too much attention.
After all, as the only female heir of the Irish Empire who wandered on the outside, if she didn’t have enough strength, she could be beheaded before the next dawn.
“Then, let’s fight!”
After adjusting her condition, Lilian’s eyes became sharp, like a hunting leopard!
“Haha, your temper is indeed quite fierce. It looks like I won’t be teaching you a lesson. Little girl, you are not being honest. It doesn’t matter, we have time to play slowly.” The third vice-leader was a long-faced man.
After he finished speaking, he immediately looked to the pockmark-faced subordinate beside him.
“Pockmark, go capture her for me. Don’t break her skin. We’ll have a good time later.”
“Order received.” Pockmarked-face heard the vice-leader’s words and immediately grinned. “Little girl, meeting me will be the most unfortunate thing in your life!”
Upon saying that, he lifted the heavy hammer that was on his shoulder and weighed it in his hand.
He then raised the hammer and swung it towards Lilian’s head!
If she was hit, Lilian’s head would definitely be smashed into an idiot!
