Chapter 17: Are these weeds?
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
A cold voice came from behind. Maiko and the others quickly turned around, only to find that the 'Holy sorcerer' had appeared behind them!
It's spatial magic! Definitely spatial magic!
This time, it's not just Maiko, but also the people from more than a dozen other hurricane mercenary groups who are equally alarmed. Some of those who had doubts about this so-called holy sorcerer have also changed their minds at this moment.
People who can use spatial magic, even if they are not Holy sorcerer, are definitely not ordinary people. At least they cannot be confronted by these intermediate to high-level mages.
"No... I dare not..." Maiko's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he said, "It's just..."
"just what?" Carlos looked at Maiko with a cold gaze.
On the surface, he pretended to be aloof, but his body was already tense, and cold sweat began to appear on his back. His hands were tightly clenched as well. The reason he was able to teleport to this location was because Carlos had just placed a marked stone here.
He decided to take a little risk and scare these people away. So he used teleportation once and instantly appeared not far behind them.
Once these people are not scared and instead launch an attack towards Carlos, he will immediately give up all attempts and use the second teleportation to go back home. Fortunately, it seems that his plan has also achieved the desired effect.
"No matter what task you are here to execute, this is my territory and I do not allow anyone to act recklessly on my turf."
"fuck out of here , don't let me see you again!"
The members of the Hurricane Mercenary Group looked at each other in silence, and finally turned to their leader, Maiko. After struggling with his expression for a few seconds, Maiko could only say helplessly, "We have to go..."
Although the failure of this mission would be a serious blow to the reputation of their Hurricane Mercenary Corps, Maiko naturally values his own and his brothers' lives more than completing the task.
A dozen or so people avoided Carlos and left one after another. After they were all far away, Carlos quietly breathed a sigh of relief but still maintained a tense expression as he looked towards Horus not far away.
Horus respectfully bowed down and took out his package, gratefully saying, "Thank you again, Mr. Six, for saving me. These are all my belongings, although they may be insignificant to you, please accept them!"
Carlos did not immediately accept the item, but instead walked towards Horus and asked, "Why are they chasing you?"
Compared to last time, Carlos didn't rush to make Horus leave this time. The reason he took the risk to save Horus just now was actually for another plan.
Although Carlos has teleported to the Misty Forest twice without encountering any danger, this place is still extremely dangerous, and there is no guarantee that he won't encounter high-level magical beasts in the future. Therefore, he wants to establish a fixed stronghold here.
He wants to conduct a detailed investigation and development of the Misty Forest. Of course, it would be difficult for Carlos to do it himself, so he wants to utilize Horus staying here to help him establish a base.
"I am Horus Naka, the Lord of Golden Blade in the Kingdom of Durant. I am the second son of Count Naka."
In the Misty Forest, wearing a dark gray battle robe, the slender and weak figure of Horus leaned against a tree trunk and said, "Half a month ago, my father passed away due to illness. Before his death, he designated me as the next Lord of the Golden Blade and instructed me to inherit the position of Count."
"But my elder brother disagreed and, together with the knight commander, launched a rebellion, seizing the count's position and intending to put me to death."
"I tried my best to escape from the Golden Blade Territory, intending to go to the capital and report this matter to the king, seeking assistance. However, unexpectedly, I was pursued by a mercenary group hired by my older brother halfway through and ended up fleeing here."
After briefly explaining his situation, Horus hesitated for a few seconds and pleaded, "I implore you, Mr. Six, to lend me a helping hand in reclaiming the position of Count. If I can regain control of the Golden Blade Territory, I will do my utmost to provide whatever you need!"
Carlos stood ten meters away from him, silent. With a cold expression on his face, he was contemplating how to make use of this person.
"I never interfere in external matters, whether it's the Golden Knife Count or the Durant King, they have nothing to do with me. If it weren't for the scroll you gave me last time that was somewhat interesting, I wouldn't bother with your affairs."
Upon hearing Mr. Six's response, Horus appeared somewhat disappointed on his face. However, he also understood that as a stranger, it was indeed difficult to ask someone to get involved in a dispute over a title of nobility.
Mr. Six did not directly drive himself away can be considered as going above and beyond in terms of kindness and righteousness.
"You are seriously injured, perhaps you cannot walk out of the Misty Forest alive."
Carlos took a few steps closer and pointed to a spot on his right side, saying, "There is a cave over there where you can rest for a few days."
Just now, Carlos discovered the cave while inspecting the surroundings. He even threw a marked stone inside. The entrance of the cave is not big and overgrown with weeds, but there are no signs of monster nests. It seems suitable for temporary residence.
Horus, upon hearing Mr. Six's words, exclaimed with delight, "Can I stay here?"
He thought Mr. Six would drive him away like last time, but it seems giving him the record scroll was the right decision! If he could stay here, those Hurricane Mercenaries would definitely not dare to approach, so at least he would be safe for a short period of time.
"I will deliver the medicine to you."
"Of course, I didn't mean to leave you here for nothing. I spent nearly half a month exploring the Misty Forest before settling on this area. I plan to cultivate this region. After you recover from your injuries, help me get rid of the weeds here."
While speaking, Carlos pointed to a distant area that he had cleared. Horus followed Carlos's direction and noticed that a small patch of land had already been cleared.
It's just that those grasses... aren't they orchids, meditation grass, and blood flame flowers? Are these considered weeds?
