At this moment, Akasha had already prepared for the "worst" in her heart. She even imagined how her robe would be stripped off. Her heart was filled with despair … But after waiting for a long time, she found that she was still holding onto the tree trunk, and only a slightly indifferent voice came into her ears.
"Hold onto the handle of the knife and stand properly. Don't sit down if you don't want to die."
What does that mean?
Akasha was a little confused. When she heard Roddy's footsteps getting further away, she tried to turn around to look. But the moment she shifted her center of gravity, she felt her legs go weak and she almost knelt on the ground!
She hurriedly grabbed onto the handle of the knife and leaned her body against the tree to steady herself. Only then did she understand Roddy's intention.
When a person suddenly "squatted down" or "sat down" after an extremely strenuous exercise, there would usually be symptoms of "blacking out". If a person's body was weak and overdrafted, this could even cause "gravitational shock". Roddy did this to prevent her from fainting.
As for the ambiguous or not, Roddy's mind didn't even think about it. He still had a few mercenaries to deal with, how could he care about a woman whose name he didn't even know?
Seeing that Roddy had returned to the battlefield, the remaining three mercenaries in the distance were already scared to death. They turned around and ran away. It was obvious that after Kevin was killed, they no longer had any desire to fight.
Naturally, Roddy didn't intend to rush forward and kill them one by one. He saw the wounded Natha and immediately ran towards her. He reached for the short bow, grabbed a handful of arrows and began to "shoot". Whoosh whoosh whoosh. The frightened mercenaries didn't know how to dodge. They were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground. Only two of them were killed directly, and the last one was shot through the thigh.
After shooting the arrows, Roddy turned around to return the short bow to Natha. Only then did he realize that the Wood Elf girl in front of him was seriously injured. There was some bruising on her cheek, and there was a gaping wound on her smooth thigh.
"Stop the bleeding first."
Roddy didn't know how to make small talk like "Are you alright?". He immediately took out a few rolls of linen bandages and stuffed them into Natha's hands. He opened his mouth to make arrangements for the aftermath of the battle, but when he recalled this "mentor's" icy temperament, he swallowed his words helplessly. He shook his head and turned to look for Brody.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Natha was a simple warrior, but not a leader.
Natha was the only one among the wood elves who stood up to help Roddy in the battle just now. After the stronger hunters were killed by Kevin, the remaining young elves were completely scared out of their wits. Among them, Natha was not the only one who could think of a counterattack, but she was the only one who actually put it into action!
"Saying" and "doing" were two completely different things. There were plenty of people who could shoot their mouths off, but there were only a few who could remain calm in the face of danger. From Natha's actions, it could be seen that it wasn't a coincidence that she could become a ranger mentor in the future.
However, although the battle had ended, the truly troublesome matter was dealing with the aftermath. The eighty wood elves were all injured or dead, but most of them were only lightly injured. There were very few deaths. Roddy ran to Brody's side and only relaxed after he confirmed that the village chief hadn't suffered any fatal injuries. He wanted to help bandage his wounds, but when he saw Brody cast a "recovery" nature spell, he knew that there was no need for him to help.
At this moment, Brody's heart was filled with indescribable shock … That was an entire mercenary group! The eighty wood elves couldn't even withstand a single blow and were all beaten to the ground. However, such a powerful enemy had been taken care of by Roddy alone …
"Roddy, you've saved Elsa's village twice."
The wood elves didn't know how to flatter and would always say what they thought. At this moment, the two knew that it wasn't the time to talk nonsense and tacitly didn't bring up other topics. After all, Brody was old and calm. After he calmed down, he immediately shifted his attention away from the casualties and losses. He pointed to the distance and said, "Snake King Sakya …"
"I'll go take care of it. Don't worry."
Roddy and Brody exchanged a few more words before they hurriedly ran into the distance. That was because over there, a red exclamation mark appeared on top of Sakya's head …
In the game, this mark represented a trigger event with a "time effect". When the exclamation mark turned from "yellow" to "black" and disappeared, the NPC's "event" would no longer be triggered. What Roddy understood even more was that from the state of the "Soul Connection" just now, the reason for this was most likely because Sakya's life force had reached the stage where it was about to run out of oil.
Its HP was originally 8%, but now it was only 3%, and it was still dropping.
Dragons, who were known to have the longest lifespan, only had an average of 500 years … 700 years was definitely an unimaginably long lifespan for magical beasts. However, the "old" Sakya could not withstand the violent magic attack. At this moment, looking from afar, this powerful magical pet that had once followed Ducal seemed to be unable to move.
If it was at its peak, the Level 45 Sakya would definitely not be blasted into such a state by an "Arcane Suicide Explosion". However, at this moment, its originally turbid eyes had been blasted into pieces, its scales split open, and black blood continuously dripped onto the ground. Even one of the two horns on its head had been blown off.
As Roddy ran towards Sakya, he checked his own [Character Attribute Pane]. After confirming that the "Mana Pool" had been lit and activated, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he realized that the six skills that belonged to Sakya had disappeared at the same time. He couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness after losing power.
The 100-meter distance was quickly covered. When Roddy stopped in front of Sakya, he was still amazed by the size of the giant snake. With its 30-meter body coiled up, it was even more shocking than the bone armored elephant.
Looking at the scorched head of the snake, Roddy felt a little apprehensive. However, when Sakya saw Roddy coming, the only movement it made was to raise its head and stick out its tongue slightly. It did not seem to have any hostility, but it seemed to be trying to express something …
This kind of hint was completely incomprehensible to Roddy. However, as a player, he knew very well where to look for clues. He took out the book that he found in the "Ancient Records Room" and placed it in front of Sakya. "Are you looking for this?"
As the words left his mouth, he remembered that Sakya could only understand the High Elf language that Ducal had spoken. It should be completely unfamiliar with the Bringan and Wood Elf language.
Sakya did not pay attention to Roddy's words. After the book appeared in front of it, its huge body seemed to suddenly tremble slightly.
Its long tongue gently licked the book that belonged to its former owner. The "Time Stop Barrier" allowed Ducal's remaining aura to be clearly discernible even after 700 years. Because of this, after confirming this fact, Sakya suddenly opened its mouth and let out a long hiss …
Roddy stood in front of the opened mouth of the snake. He did not feel the stench and terrifying aura that he had imagined. Instead, he felt an inexplicable force flowing into his body from all directions. The sudden notification in the [Battle Info Bar] stunned him. He opened it and saw that he had obtained a "title"!
"The Last Witcher"
+ 10% Agility
+ 2 "Magic Pet Skill Enhancement"
(Title effect changes with level)
It was not surprising to obtain a title. All players would obtain a "title" when they completed the advancement mission. However, what surprised Roddy was the sentence in parentheses. In previous games, 99% of the effects of a title were fixed. It was not that there were no "titles" that would increase the effects with the increase in level, but it was really rare!
However, before the shock disappeared, Sakya slowly lowered its head … The last bit of its HP seemed to have disappeared with this action. Above its head, the originally green "HP" bar suddenly turned gray. At the same time, a cluster of flames slowly rose from its body.
This wasn't an orange flame, but an extremely dense fire element. It gushed out from Sakya's head and instantly surrounded the huge body of the Snake King Sakya, completely enveloping it in the soaring flames.
Roddy looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. His thoughts were complicated … He understood that his appearance had completely disrupted history. From the moment he saved Sally, everything had changed. Orc Sarota, Earl Francis, "Snake's Fang" Gallup were all killed by him. "Dark Ranger" Magda escaped with serious injuries. The Undead Orcs and the internal forces of the Kingdom of Karen had all undergone critical changes. Now, the "Blood Shield Mercenary Group" must be related to the "Viper Cross." If that was the case, if he had not disrupted history, this old snake should still be alive, right?
However, these thoughts were superfluous. Roddy quickly turned his attention to his next plan. If he wanted to prevent the destruction of the kingdom, it was not something that could be done by one person … He had thought that the plans he had written before were detailed and meticulous enough. However, now that there were more and more variables, those "opportunistic" plans did not seem to have much value. Instead, there were many more risks.
He needed strength, influence, manpower, and money … Only with these "hardware" would he be able to do his best. But the problem now was that Roddy lacked everything!
"Being a leader is really not easy."
Roddy sighed. When he was alone in PVP, everything was fine. However, when he thought of Sodelor, Ruger, Carter, and the others, he thought of his next territory plan. If he had the power, he could forget about leveling up. Running "business" every day would tire him out!
However, even though he was worried, Roddy would never run away from problems. Those who looked for solutions would succeed, while those who looked for excuses would fail. No matter how high a mountain one wanted to climb, one had to take the first step. Just standing there and complaining would not be of any use.
The temperature of the fire element was extremely high. In just a few minutes, the Snake King Sakya's body had turned into ashes. Not even the snake's bones could be seen. When the wind blew, the ashes scattered and completely melted into the soil …
When he thought of the scene of this giant snake fighting alongside Ducar seven hundred years ago, Roddy could not help but sigh. Of course, after sighing, he did not forget his old profession as a player and went forward to "loot" the corpse.
If Sakya had not been turned into ashes, it could definitely be said that its entire body was a treasure. After all, it was a Level-45 Boss-tier magical beast. It was much stronger than the "Chimera". A few scales and fangs were all extremely precious materials … However, when it came to Sakya, Roddy did not think too much about it. He only felt that its death represented the end of an era and a story.
When the fire disappeared, Roddy inexplicably felt that the responsibility on him seemed to have increased for no reason.
After the temperature cooled down, Roddy bent down and reached out to pick up the remaining Magic crystal. His originally expectant expression suddenly disappeared the moment he held it. What replaced it was endless doubt —
