Chapter 280

It was just a massacre.

Sean let wamis go, but he didn't let go of the slave hunters he brought. Seventy two people finally left about sixty bodies and escaped about five or six people. This number does not matter to Sean. Anyway, the reason why he hit hard on the slave hunting team is simply to frighten and show determination to the kingdom of dabion. If you really want to explain, it can only be said that the slave hunting team has bad luck.

As for whether the Duke would send another slave team to sneak in secretly, Sean didn't care, because William would be responsible for the next thing. If William can't even solve these stowaways, he will be ashamed of what Sean expects of him. Moreover, if the reconstruction of panda town is successful, the import and export of the whole gorge rift valley will be completely included in its monitoring and inspection scope. If you want to be lazy, you can even set up checkpoints. Anyway, it will take about ten days to go back and forth.

At present, the biggest problem in Sean territory is that his military strength is beginning to be a little stretched.

With 6000 troops, it is definitely more than enough for him to stick to the panda collar, and it can even deter the two barons around him. However, after annexing the Viscount of Rudd and the Baron of lonnis, Sean's actual territory now is basically equivalent to that of an earl. As long as he is annexing a baron of normal scale, his territory will really be equivalent to that of Athena's Tonnis.

A knight who has the Earl's collar can't be justified anyway. At least he should be officially upgraded to a real aristocrat. If he is lucky, the title of an earl can't run away. However, nominally, he still belongs to Athena's family, so it is impossible to obtain the prefix of real power or strength. However, he has laid such a foundation in a year. I'm afraid other nobles in the Principality of Ryan will never underestimate Sean.

So the real problem Sean faces now is a serious shortage of military strength.

Because of this, Sean asked William to go to the trade capital again. This must be supplemented with regard to the military strength of the territory.

As for this trip to the wilderness, Sean really didn't come to catch slaves.

After passing through the No. 1 fire cave, the knife wind became more violent, and the traces of the land and mountain walls cut by the knife became more obvious. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with smoothness. Let alone the gullies on the ground, the edges and corners of the mountain wall will break the skin immediately after being touched. However, if they are not scratched, the injury will not be very serious, and it is easy to stop bleeding.

After a day's trip, I finally arrived at the No. 2 fire cave. The time point was very accurate, just at nightfall.

But when he entered the No. 2 fire hole, Sean could clearly feel the colder temperature.

If the temperature in No. 1 fire cave is only about zero, the temperature in No. 2 fire cave is three or four degrees below zero. There is obvious ice gas in the cave, but there is no dry and wet reaction. Only when you touch the mountain of the cave can you feel the bone cold, but it is not like the moist smell of the ice cave, Even if you put your hands on it for a long time, your hands won't get wet after leaving the mountain.

Cecilia looked at Sean curiously: "is there anything special?"

"Yes." Sean nodded. "I have a doubt at the moment."

"What is it?" Cecilia is a magician. She loves magic from the bottom of her heart. Otherwise, she would not show such amazing talent, so she is naturally infected with many magicians' problems - of course, for magicians, this is not a problem, but for ordinary people, This is the weirdness of magicians - their desire for knowledge has completely exceeded the scope that normal people can imagine.

"These caves are definitely not formed naturally." Sean took out the dead bone and tried to knock down a stone from the mountain, but he found that it was surprisingly hard. It couldn't be knocked down with the sharpness of the dead bone. You know, unless it was a high-quality weapon, any weapon and dead bone would be mercilessly cut off, "you see, So it is absolutely the funniest joke in the world to say that these caves are artificially dug. "

Cecilia's eyes were wide open and her face was incredible.

Dead bone is an epic weapon. She knows it. Sean didn't hide it from her. Although an epic weapon is not necessarily the sharpest weapon in the world, any equipment above legendary has very special abilities. Under normal circumstances, unless it is a high-quality weapon specially quenched for sharpness, Otherwise, epic weapons can absolutely stand out from all weapons in terms of sharpness, but they can't leave any traces in the cave?

"Try outside the cave!" Cecilia reacted immediately.

Sean immediately understood when he thought about it and immediately walked out of the cave.

At this time, it had been some time at night. Sean didn't have the habit of carrying a pocket watch. However, according to the normal situation, it should be around 10 o'clock, and the knife wind outside the cave seemed to become more violent. In this case, Sean has asked Tina to test the ice armour technique. The ice armour that could have lasted about an hour or broken only after Sean hit it with all his strength can only last for about 20 minutes in the environment of blade wind. It can be seen that the energy consumption is very large.

So even Sean didn't dare to expose his skin to this environment.

Hide the dead bone under the cloak and insert it into the ground. The sword tip goes deep without hindrance until there is no handle. It seems that there is nothing strange. However, when Sean aimed the dead bone at the escape of the cave, something surprised Sean happened - the sword tip pierced into the mountain about two inches away, and he could no longer Pierce. Although Sean could not see the specific situation, he could feel that there was a very strange force to stop the continued invasion of the dead bone.

"How?" Back in the cave, Cecilia immediately couldn't wait to ask.

"It's fishy." Sean looked around the cave and said, "there should be no problem with the ground, but if you stab into the wall of the cave, you can only enter two inches It makes me feel like magic like an air barrier, because I can feel the slight tremor of the long sword, which is obviously disturbed by energy. "

"Then cut the mountain into a plane to observe?" Tina put forward her own views.

Priests with knives are also Dharma practitioners. Although they are not as eager for knowledge and knowledge as magicians, after all, they believe in God and rely on God's power to strengthen themselves. However, as long as they are legal practitioners, they must have something in common, that is, strong curiosity, and the obvious interest of Sean and Cecilia in these caves also made Tina have some interest.

"Tried, No." Sean shook his head. "You can only cut about an inch. The rest can't be cut. It seems to be protected by internal energy assimilation."

"It's really strange." Said Tina and Cecilia in unison.

As soon as they spoke, they were stunned, and their eyes seemed to splash some strange sparks.

Sean knew that the academic interests of the two guys had been completely ignited.

In the next day, it did confirm Sean's conjecture. Tina and Cecilia almost included the whole cave in the scope of the investigation. Therefore, they had to slow down their journey to cooperate with their midway investigation. In this regard, the northern barbarians, bear people and Andre can't help. They don't even understand what Cecilia and Tina are looking for. Sean, the only one who knows the situation, is too lazy to do it. He knows that things are definitely not that simple. He plans to investigate after going to the No. 3 fire cave.

As for whether he can gain anything, Sean doesn't hold any hope. After all, no one found the secret in the game.

Therefore, the original No. 2 fire cave was about a one-day trip, and it took nearly three days to finish.

After coming out of the No. 2 fire cave, there was another blade wind whistling in the strong wind. This journey will be a little longer. It will take about three days. However, generally, the slave team will speed up the journey here. If it is faster, it will only take about two and a half days. After all, Sean had seen the blade wind at night last night, and there was no leeward place to rest during this journey, so we must use compressed fast food dry food to eat while walking.

Therefore, according to the rules, they usually leave the No. 2 fire cave at about five o'clock in the morning, and then rest in place for two to three hours when it is about to fall into the night. The specific length of the rest depends on the day and night of the season. When the knife wind begins to increase one hour after fall into the night, they have to continue on the road until noon the next day, Then repeat the first day. The experienced slave team, through the grasp of time and rhythm, only needs to travel for about two and a half days when they are on the way. In this regard, Andre is worthy of being a slave catcher with five years of experience.

On the afternoon of the third day after leaving No. 2 fire cave, Sean and others rushed to the entrance of No. 3 fire cave.

According to Andre's explanation, No. 3 fire cave is the largest of the three fire caves. It takes about a day and a half to walk the whole length. If the journey slows down, it may take about two days to finish. However, this fire cave may be the largest one, so the temperature in the cave is lower than that in the previous two fire caves, which has reached the level of minus 10 degrees or even lower, and there has been frost reaction in the cave this time.

Before entering the cave, Sean had seen a thin layer of frost at the entrance of the cave.

Andre is still leading the team. He is already an experienced old man, and others are also coming in. At the end of the team are Sean, Cecilia and Tina. Perhaps he knew that the Lord and his sister were interested in these fire caves, so Andre also told some legends and hearsay stories about fire caves from time to time along the way, but in general, he couldn't help.

Only this time, Sean's face changed instantly after entering the cave.

And the same face change, and Tina（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
