Chapter 117
The task of arriving at the border is not difficult for Li Ge, but now it is Catherine who is being tested. He plays a supporting role. If he takes over the role, the result of the test may not be perfect.
"Katherine, from now on, I will be your guard, and you will decide all actions." Li Ge said with a smile. He also wanted to see Catherine's abilities.
Catherine was not afraid. Instead, she said with a sullen face, "Teacher, I will work hard to complete the task. Just watch."
Catherine took the lead, and Li Ge followed behind. The two of them walked out of the woods one after another and came to the relatively spacious road.
There were not many people on the road, so Catherine waited for a long time before she saw a caravan. As a guard, Li Ge went forward to discuss with the caravan steward, paid two gold coins and got on the carriage carrying people.
Fortunately, more humans in this multiverse use Common Language. At most, the difference is in the accent, otherwise Li Ge would have to use a spell to understand the language. Maybe this is one of the advantages of being in the world of gods.
There were several hitchhikers crowded in the carriage, all chatting away. Li Ge asked Catherine to sit inside the carriage, leaning against the wooden compartment of the carriage.
He could tell that Catherine was a bit of a germaphobe and didn't want to be around those guys who were covered in stinky sweat.
As a guard, Li Ge only separated the people sitting in the middle. Catherine was somewhat dissatisfied and blessed an air purifying spell.
The girl's display of skills shocked several people in the carriage. This plane is a small plane, and Master Fa is not as numerous as the Norn plane where Li Ge and the others are.
As a result, these guys were a lot more careful when talking. They stopped talking about some dirty jokes and started talking about some strange things.
This was exactly what Li Ge and the others needed. When they saw Li Ge and Catherine listening attentively, they regarded them as aristocratic children who were away from home, and they boasted even more energetically.
From their descriptions, Li Ge heard the basic situation of the mainland. This Faro plane can be considered sparsely populated.
The main races are humans and some barbarians. Other alien races such as elves and dwarves have not established power in this plane. The occasional elves from other planes are regarded as creatures in legendary stories.
The legendary necromancer McCain, who almost subverted half of the plane, is the most talked about figure among several people.
Such a necromancer was originally a prince born in the Kingdom of Nia in the far west of the Faro plane. He was born to enjoy glory and wealth, and in the future he could inherit the throne and become one of the most noble people on the continent.
But he didn't know why he went crazy, and made a deal with the high-level devil in hell, using the soul of his beloved lover as a reward in exchange for the inheritance of the necromancer.
Next, McCain went on to do more and set off a natural disaster of the undead throughout the kingdom, turning the Kingdom of Nia into a land of death.
There were more than five million people in the entire kingdom, and two million people became undead. Others also suffered countless casualties during the escape. In the end, the entire kingdom became history.
The various Zhengshen temples united with the nearby Gaoling Kingdom to block the undead natural disaster at the border.
It's just that the power of the Temple of the Gods in this plane is not very strong. It cannot eliminate the entire undead natural disaster in one go, and can only limit them to the original Kingdom of Nia.
Claire, the silver dragon, the guardian of the Kingdom of Nia, also died in the process of resisting the undead. Together with her two teenage dragon children, they were transformed into corpse dragons by McCain and became the number one warrior in the undead disaster.
"This necromancer is really looking for death," Li Ge was furious. Any true dragon, whether good or evil, hates necromancers who desecrate the corpse and soul of a true dragon.
Seeing it in the mission scroll and hearing it with your own ears are completely different feelings. According to those guys, people often hear the shrill roar of the corpse dragon at the border.
Li Ge glanced at Catherine and saw that her eyes were also full of anger. Catherine herself can be regarded as half a giant dragon, and she is also friends with several silver dragons such as Leia.
She knows that ordinary silver dragons are, relatively speaking, the most friendly type of true dragon to humans. Such a blasphemous silver dragon like the Necromancer made the girl want to kill him right away.
This road happens to lead to the Kingdom of Gaoling and was specially built to supplement supplies for the border defense line.
These hitchhikers are also adventurers who want to take advantage of the war to make a fortune. After fighting for so long, the troops of the Kingdom of Gaoling and the major temples began to be somewhat stretched, and they had to hire adventurers at high prices.
After staying in the car for almost seven days, Li Ge became a little familiar with the mercenary adventurers and learned a lot of information from them.
Finally, the convoy arrived at a fortress built at the exit of the canyon, which was the forefront of the Holy Light Fortress against the undead disaster.
Behind the fortress is the border of the Kingdom of Gaoling, where all kinds of people come and go. Adventurers, businessmen, soldiers and clergy taking a break from defense were everywhere.
Most of the residents of the Gaoling Kingdom are tall and have bronze skin. They look very tough, and there are particularly many warriors who use heavy weapons.
Catherine looked here and there with great interest, and would buy some when she saw something she was interested in. The aura of the magic equipment on the two men was unabashedly turned on, which shocked a group of sneaky gangsters.
There are a lot of people coming and going, and businesses like hotels that rely on the flow of people are naturally not lacking.
Catherine was so generous that she directly rented a small independent courtyard. Although the facilities are not very complete, it is quite good for a girl who is fed up with the harsh environment on the carriage.
Although there was a cleansing technique that could keep her body clean, Catherine couldn't wait to take a shower.
It doesn't matter to Li Ge. As a little girl, it's understandable to be squeamish. No matter what, as long as the task is completed.
Catherine changed into a set of daily clothes and came out, "Teacher, should we take a look first and wait until we understand the current situation on the battlefield before getting started with the equipment?" Li Ge nodded with a smile, "
Catherine, we can just arrange everything. My identity is now your bodyguard. I will not reveal my true strength until the most critical moment."
The girl smiled mischievously and said, "Teacher, I have decided to temporarily accept some official adventure missions from tomorrow and go to the front lines of the battlefield to have a look in person. You should also go with me."
Early the next morning, Catherine took Li Ge straight to the officially led Adventurers Guild. Half of the staff inside are from the Gaoling Kingdom, and the other half are clergy from various Zhengshen temples.
Under the threat of the undead natural disaster, many living people secretly took refuge in the necromancers, including many nobles. Some even formed natural disaster churches.
In order to prevent this threat from appearing among adventurers who come to receive quests, the assistance of clergy is necessary.
