Chapter Seventeen The Legend of Sauron
As soon as he heard that they were going to split up, the young paladin immediately wanted to raise an objection.
But at this time, the young priest glanced at him, and said in a concentrated voice: "Okay. Let's do it like this. You two go together, Deno, you follow Lancet. I will act together with Sauron."
The paladin opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the experienced thief next to him.
He seemed to have somewhat guessed Sauron's identity. In fact, this experienced thief had seen Sauron's scimitar several times along the way. As a wanderer, he still knew a little about the legendary figures of his profession. After following Sauron all day yesterday, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Sauron was the legendary [Beheader], the most powerful pirate king on the south coast!
For this existence, the outside world has mixed praise and criticism. Some people think that he is a hero-like figure, while others think that he is too ruthless.
But there is no doubt that if anyone offends the beheaded Lord, the end will definitely be bad.
If the man in front of him is really Sauron, the most powerful pirate king on the south coast, then they had better obey each other's arrangements, because compared to this rapidly rising legend, they are just a group of third-rate adventurers . This experienced rogue still believed in his own vision. According to his judgment, there was an 80% chance that the opponent was the Pirate King on the south coast.
In fact.
He was not the only one who guessed this point, the young priest also guessed a little bit in his heart.
It's just that she didn't ask because the timing was wrong.
A group of people quickly split up. Sauron led the young priest to enter from the other side, and the others entered the town in front of them in batches. The target of two people acting together is much smaller. In this era, the vigilance against foreign adventurers is still very strong, and a team of more than five people can easily attract the attention of interested people. The two of them entered town with ease. Then came to the hotel here, the young priest has been silent behind her, with a complicated expression on her face.
Yes.
Her heart is also very complicated.
Back then, she looked down on Sauron, not because he hated him, but because she liked the little girl Vivienne very much, and thought that a thief like Sauron would not be able to touch the stage. In the end, there was no way to give Vivian a good enough life. Then, she kindly suggested that Vivienne should become a priest, and tried to find a way for Sauron to find a job, so that he could change to something more decent.
Unfortunately, Sauron rejected her without hesitation.
In the eyes of the young girl pastor at that time, Sauron was undoubtedly very ungrateful.
But time proved her wrong.
Take a look at Sauron's current strength and the equipment on his body. The power and influence shown in every move, everything told her that the thief who couldn't get on the stage in the past was no longer what it used to be.
Not only has he become a strong player in the legendary field, he may even be a character who would shake his feet if he stomped on the south coast!
Regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, Sauron's achievements have exceeded her imagination.
The girl priest had many things on her mind, after no one else was around. Finally mustered up the courage to say: "Sauron, is that person on the south coast really you? I always thought it was just the same name!..."
Sauron didn't answer, just nodded slightly.
The young priest was shocked, and finally got the answer, but the shock in her heart was not small at all.
How long is this?
From the catastrophe in Amber City until now. She started her adventurous career because the original temple was destroyed, and she thought she had progressed fast enough. But not long after she became an official priest, Sauron has already become the most powerful pirate king on the south coast according to legend.
She suddenly felt that her fate was unpredictable!
"Follow me."
Sauron glanced at the people near the hotel, then grabbed the young priest behind him, and led her into an alley.
When the young priest Bai Sheng's little hand was held by him, he froze for a moment. But he quickly reacted and said, "Did you find those eyeless people? Where are they?"
"No." Sauron shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There are vampires here!"
vampire?
The girl pastor looked a little astonished, and murmured, "Vampires? Have they developed to this point?"
Sauron's sense is very keen.
As a top wanderer in the gray field, he also has a lot of knowledge about dark creatures. He just glanced at the hotel, and he found that one or two people inside were in a strange state. Their skin was too pale. Residents of large and small towns, these people need to work hard every day. It is difficult for people who have worked for a long time to have pale skin like them. Moreover, these people look quite strong. At the same time, their breathing is very weak, not as powerful as ordinary people. Sauron's powerful observation ability can detect the rise and fall of their chests The degree of breathing is significantly lower than that of ordinary people, only about one-third of the strength of ordinary people's breathing.
If a normal person breathes like this, he might be a little hypoxic!
Their vampires.
And it should be a vampire servant who has just been transformed, and he doesn't know how to disguise himself to look more like an ordinary person.
"Is the son of a vampire?"
Sauron frowned involuntarily, and thought to himself: "His power has grown so fast? He has developed his minions to such a remote place."
"wrong!"
"The more prosperous the place, the stronger the church organization. These relatively remote towns are the places where he can easily take advantage of it."
The bustling area is divided up by churches of gods, but it is not easy for the son of a vampire to enter.
In other words, these relatively remote towns are weakly defended, and can easily be infiltrated by vampires, and then gradually spread his beliefs, expanding the number of believers of the Vampire God Son.
"What should we do now?" the young priest looked at him and asked.
Sauron glanced around, pulled her forward, and said in a deep voice, "Find a place to stay overnight. Vampires like to move at night. I'll follow them and see what I can find. If the Eyeless Ones also come here, There will definitely be some intersection with them.”
The power of the vampire Shenzi must be suppressed.
The news that Sauron has collected recently is not very good for him in all aspects, especially the growth of the vampire god son, which makes Sauron feel deeply threatened.
"Okay." The young priest nodded.
………………
the other side.
A group of people who came separately were also going to go around to the other side and enter Dead Leaf Town.
"What!?"
A look of surprise appeared on the paladin's face, and he murmured: "You said he is the legendary beheader - Sauron? How could An Liya know him?"
When he heard Sauron's true identity from his companion, even as a paladin, he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat behind his back.
That is the most ruthless pirate king in the rumors!
Maybe he didn't have any cruel acts, but his style of acting was extremely cruel. It was said that thousands of people died under his hands.
Paladins aren't idiots either.
There are so many evil deeds in this world, it is difficult for them to control them, so there is also a warning not to act blindly in the paladin's dogma.
If he didn't know Sauron's identity, he might still dare to fight, but after knowing Sauron's identity, he didn't have any desire to fight in his heart.
Because it is not an opponent at all!
He even knew exactly what kind of disaster would be brought to this adventurer team if he angered the legendary pirate king.
"It should be him."
The experienced rogue had a very good attitude towards Sauron, and even admired him a bit, and said in a deep voice, "As expected of one of the strongest rogues in the legend! He was able to become a leader in just a few months. The most powerful pirate king on the south coast! His strength can be said to be unfathomable, and he didn't show any strength at all when he started fighting with you!"
Rogues rarely produce heroes.
The main reason is that rogues have no advantage in frontal combat, and their combat style is used to assassination, spying, sneak attack, etc., so most rogues like to hide behind the scenes, which makes them feel safer .
Sauron was definitely an accident!
In recent hundreds of years, there have been very few rogues who have appeared frontally like him, and he is still a wandering swordsman with a tough fighting style, just like the protagonist in the anecdote of the bard.
In fact.
The story of the rise of the evil pirate king based on Sauron has already appeared in the mouth of the bard, but most of them are negative reviews. People think he is one of the most terrifying pirate kings of this era!
Troubadours will not be so boring as to describe a pirate king as a legendary hero. People know more about him than fear.
But this is different in the rogue.
Among the rogues, there are also legendary powerhouses, but many of them don't show up at all, or they are characters who don't see their heads and tails, and just leave behind some legendary names.
This is also good for their safety.
Sauron is the only legendary rogue who stands on the stage and is the leader of a faction. Even if it is an organization like Shadow Thief that has been passed down for many years, the leader of the faction will not let others know as blatantly as he does.
basically.
Nearly half of the rogues in the entire world have heard of his name, and many of them respect him.
Because the concept of good and evil among rogues is inherently weak, many rogues started out as thieves, and there is even a legend that Sauron, the beheader, was just an inconspicuous thief in the past.
The rogues are more optimistic about the rising figures in this profession.
So Sauron has a high reputation among the rogues!
"Wait!"
The experienced wanderer who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and then quickly came to a cemetery, and said in a deep voice: "Look at these tombs! The tombstones have been standing for a long time, but the soil has been turned recently."
Hearing his words, the others immediately woke up and hurried to the cemetery.
