Starting from Zero

Soon our two armies will meet at the border of the two countries, and the other side will bring no fewer people than here. I glanced through the crowd and found that King William, his outfit and position all showed his unique status.

The two armies opened up as if they were about to fight. The two kings waved at the same time to stop their troops. Only the two kings and a few personal guards plus a few of us walked in the middle.

"I heard someone can help us solve the water problem, are these three?" William simply didn't agree with us. Although he seems to be very capable, after all, he is young and his way of life is far worse than here. Old king.

The old king let the three of us out very politely. "These three nobles are here to help us." Look, this is called being able to talk. Whether it is falsehood or not, at least it sounds comfortable. A ruler who even politely will not is not far from the downfall.

"It's the three of you?" William didn't look at us directly. He just scanned and said to the old king: "Where did you find someone? Is it credible? I..."

I suddenly stood between the two kings, facing William and blocking the old king behind me. "I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I'm...!"

"You are bold!" A guard rushed up before I could finish speaking. I didn't move my body and lifted my leg and kicked the guy. Kick and get down.

"I am here as a businessman to discuss business with you. I am going to check the water source. If successful, you can get clean water. As a beneficiary, you should pay a certain amount of compensation appropriately, and Provide some assistance."

Rose stood up and added: "The trading conditions will not be very harsh. This is a list. You can take a look." Rose handed over a piece of paper.

William took over the remuneration list that Rose and I planned for a long time, and it was crumpled into a ball of paper and threw it back.

"You...?" Rose wanted to go up to the theory angrily, but was pulled back by the old king's sharp spot.

"King William, you are not right." Old Guy is really an old trickster, and now he is starting to do tricks. "The guests are kind to help, and it should be rewarded. Isn't that necessary? Can I discuss the harsh conditions!"

Rose's mouth was trembling. "Husband, let's go, we won't help them!"

I stretched out my hand and grabbed the going rose. "His Royal Highness, we are businessmen, and peace is the most important thing. If the conditions are not good, you can negotiate, what conditions do you think are acceptable?" Damn, if I had put your head in my stomach before, but now the interests are important. Businessmen don’t lose money, I will bear it!

William finally spoke. "I believe you have knocked a lot from old fogey. He is so cheating that doesn't mean that I am also cheating. Anyway, you help him manage the water source and I will get better here. Why should I pay another payment? If you have a way to recover With Bayette’s water source alone, let us ask me for compensation if there is a problem with the water source!” He finished laughing wildly, then turned around and rode his horse and ran towards Honjin.

Rose furiously yelled: "I'm so angry, how can there be such an unreasonable person." She looked around as if looking for something: "Bow, bow? Who has a bow, I want Shoot this bastard. I'm so angry."

I'm also angry enough, but I haven't gotten out of control yet, but Rose is so angry that she won't help her reduce the fire. Isn't my husband doing it in vain? Raising the right hand in front of her, the various mechanism locks on the arm guard bounced together, and a shiny golden crossbow appeared under the Black Demon Dragon arm guard. This is actually the Avengers. After the armor absorbed the dragon soul last time, it became a detachable style.

Look at Rose. I immediately reacted and took off the crossbow from my hand. I reminded me from the side: "Be careful, this thing is very powerful."

Rose is not real either. To shoot people, she just has no place to shoot two arrows so as to defeat the fire. The Avengers are auto-loading, and the arrow is already on top after Rose picked it up. Slightly glanced and pulled the trigger, a crossbow arrow flew out with a cough. Rose didn't control her strength for a while and was pushed back by her recoil. Fortunately, I held her by the side.

The arrow shot into the sky because the rose body shook when it was launched, but I don’t know if it was a coincidence. The arrow flew up and fell down again, and it accurately hit the white horse of Wei Lian. Ass. The horse immediately jumped up when it hurt, and William was unprepared to be lifted off immediately and fell into embarrassment.

"haha! Call you cross!" Rose jumped up happily, and the old king behind and our guards laughed.

Where is William willing to be humiliated in vain, if he knows to be patient, he will not conflict with us. William, who got up again, let the troops attack angrily. I expected that he would retaliate, but I didn't expect him to attack the troops regardless of the overall situation.

It's not been a day or two since the old king has fought with this William, and he is familiar with William's character. Just now when Rose shot an arrow, he had already ordered the troops behind to be prepared to deal with the sudden situation. At this moment, seeing the opposing troops acted, they immediately set up the shield formation, although the shield was broken a little, but it was still imposing manner.

This matter is caused by roses. I can't let the old king's troops deal with the enemy alone. It seems I need help from the Familiar! "Tanks!" At this time, the magnificent army with thousands of men and horses, only tanks are more efficient.

Sure enough, the huge body frankly frightened the opponent when he came out. He raised the two forelimbs, his whole body stood up, and then slammed down to concentrate the whole body's power on the bone hammer of the forelimbs and slammed down to the ground. The two bone hammers immediately made a loud noise when they touched the ground, and the whole ground trembled violently like an earthquake. The cavalry on the opposite side was shocked and jumped three feet high. None of the horses that fell down could stand, and the battallion cavalry immediately fell back and turned over.

I pointed forward with one hand: "Tank, Dragon Flame Jet." Tanks that have eaten dragon meat will use Dragon Flame.

The tank's terrifying eyes flashed green, and the body suddenly stopped and began to inhale, and then suddenly sprayed crimson's dragon flames forward. The cavalry on the opposite side was still lying on the ground and struggling, suddenly came down a large area of ​​dragon flame, who would escape! All of a sudden, a large swath of soldiers was lit and turned into a fire man running wildly on the ground.

Although William on the opposite side does not know how to be a man, he is very good at military command. After discovering that the cavalry was frustrated, he immediately ordered the troops behind to push the heavy ballista out. This thing was meant to deal with the shield formation, but he didn't expect that he even brought this thing.

Only a creak was heard, and the ballista was wounded. peng sound A thick-mouthed pelvic arrow was shot out, but only a sound of "Dang" was heard. Everyone clearly saw the giant crossbow arrow grazing a fire star on the tank and flying out. Wentian ran over and patted me. "This is your demon?"

"Well. What's the matter?"

"The defense is so high?"

"Of course, you didn't listen to me Call his name?"

"By the way, he is called Tank." Wentian remembered now. "Sure enough, not just in name only, but also in reality, stronger than a tank!"

The old king also shivered and said: "Is this your subordinate?"

I nodded. "It's my familiar, how? Are you confident in my strength?"

"Yes. Of course there is."

________________________________________

We While talking, the tank suddenly stretched out, and the elytra on his back stood up. I knew what he was shaking when I saw the arc flashing all over his body. "Tanks, no guns are allowed." I still expect him to help complete the task. What should I do if I can bombard the back now? It's all the damn mission restrictions, otherwise just call a few dragons at random. Hearing my order, the tank immediately retracted the extension tube, but fortunately I yelled quickly.

"Be careful over there." Rose reminded us to notice that the trebuchet was actually erected at the back of Rostar's army on the opposite side. This William was at first ready to come to war.

The tank glanced at the trebuchet over there, and immediately rushed in that direction. Although such a large trebuchet is not a threat to the tank, it will still drop blood if it is hit. Seeing the tank rushing over, the soldiers over there were of course trying to stop them. Unfortunately, the opponent's troops lacked outstanding individuals. Although the overall battle strength of the soldiers was higher than that of the tank, a single soldier was simply an ant and couldn't stop the tank at all. The steel contradictory array used to deal with the cavalry charge. The defensive power facing the tank is almost like a bamboo fence, and it falls apart with a light touch. The soldiers had no response at all when they slashed the tank with their swords, except for sparks flying in all directions. Even the heavy battle axe could not cut the tank's carapace, which was nearly one meter thick.

Seeing that the tank traversed the entire Rostar army position, the soldiers could not do anything about it. The catapult that had not yet been fully deployed was smashed into a pile of broken pieces of wood with a hammer from the tank, and the ballista next to it was also broken into scrap metal by the way. William's escort dragged him Lin to crawl and ran out of the position to avoid the danger of being crushed into meatloaf.

Although everyone can see that the tank is very brave, but I know that the tank’s health is very fast, and the attacks of those soldiers are basically unbreakable, but the blood loss of little by little is also very fast. There are too many soldiers. NS. "Rose, add blood to the tank, my healing technique is not as good as yours."

Rose nodded, a high level recovery technique was gathered, and rose suddenly screamed when it was about to fire. With a bang, the magic exploded around us. Healing is also magic, and it will explode if it is interrupted during use. Rose clutched her waist and fell down. Lala Princess, who was standing next to her, held a bloody dagger in her hand.

"pa." A loud slap slapped Lala Princess flying out and turned a few times in the air before landing, and fell to the ground without moving.

"Rose, are you okay?" I am afraid that Rose will have an accident.

Rose frowned clutching her waist. "Fortunately, the active connection of the order suit stuck the dagger, and she failed to stab it to the end."

"Don't move, I will help you use the healing technique."

" Don’t you take care of the tank first?"

"It’s okay, he can still top it for a while."

As a trainer, the main battle method is to add status to the pet, so I also know some magic such as healing, but there are usually special reply staff who don't need me to do it, so I have never used it. Fortunately, the rose injury is not serious, and Level 1 therapy can also be useful.

The old king ran to us with a look of trepidation: "Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this ignorant girl to hurt you. She was also bewildered by that William. Don't blame her. "The old king knew that his daughter liked William, but she was his own daughter after all, so he still begged for love with his old face.

This old king has always been pretty good to us, and I don't want to mess with him. "You'd better discipline your daughter, and don't let her show up near us again before we leave, otherwise I can't guarantee what she is doing next time."

"Yes! Thank you thank you!" Old The king now sees the strength of the tank and he is super respectful to us.

He was about to stand up and I grabbed him. "I let your daughter have nothing, but my wife can't get hurt in vain. I think the necklace on your daughter's neck is good. I want to give it to my wife."

I pulled the necklace from my daughter's neck and handed it to me. I took it and brought it to the rose immediately. Princess was shocked by my slap just now, and there was no response when the necklace was taken away. Baby, baby, it's finally in my hands.

Seeing that I no longer pursue the matter, the king turned around and asked the guards to take Princess away and ordered Princess to be locked in the room in front of me. I knew he did it for me, but It's not bad that he can do this.

The rose injury is not serious, and he recovered after a simple treatment. The tank was a bit tight without the support of healing magic, so I had to recruit him back. Bayette's army is still intact, and Rostar's army over there is long gone. The tanks took the initiative to retreat and they didn't dare to chase them and had to retreat.

Looking at the Rostar troop going away, I said to Rose beside me: "It seems that things are not as simple as we thought?"

Wen Tian said on the other side "The difficulty of the F-rank mission is here. The other party has a king who fails to appreciate somebody's kindness. Just defeating rare beast and solving the water problem may not necessarily allow two countries to coexist peacefully."

Rose said: "We can use the at first method."

"What?" Wentian was taken aback. "Are you really going to destroy Rosetta?"

Wen Tian obviously didn't understand Rose's meaning, but I got it. Turning to the old king and said: "How about another deal?"

"As long as there are benefits, of course there is no problem." The king's enthusiasm for benefits is not worse than mine.

"Do you think doubling the national strength counts as a benefit?"

"Of course!" The old man's eyes flashed with greedy rays of light. "But how can this be achieved?"

"I haven't decided on the specific method for the time being. I will tell you after I think about it. But my intention is to incorporate Rosetta into your Bayette. Your population and land area have doubled, what do you think?"

"It is not so easy to annex a country!" Although the old king is greedy but not stupid, he also knows that some things are not. Martial power can be solved.

"This is not something you have to worry about. We will deal with the specific matters. You just wait for the receiving country."

"Of course it's good." The old king looked like he was rubbing his hands. Some are like bandits.

"Let's go back? This Rosta is not an opponent that can be resolved by negotiation. It is better to solve the water problem first. This is the fundamental." Rose reminded me that it is time to get down to business.

"Yes, let's go."

Go back to the Imperial Palace and bring all the supplies to be brought. The old king has selected 50 of the most elite warriors for us to help us complete the task According to my opinion, none of these people can come back. F-rank mission undead is impossible.

According to the information provided by the King’s advisory team, the Rosetta and Bayette are completely surrounded by a circular mountain range, which is why there are very few foreigners in the two countries. I carefully studied the map and asked some residents. We found that all the water in this area seems to come from the snow water from the most peak of the mountain range and the rain water collected by the mountain range itself. The water is sent to a large lake at the foot of the mountain by the underground river in the mountain. The lake water passes through other areas of this mountain range through surface runoff, and part of the lake water seeps into the ground to form groundwater.

After studying this information, Rose suggested that we first investigate whether there is a problem with the snow on the top of the mountain, so that we can find out where the water is contaminated by checking along the water source. Those elite warriors who assisted us all said that the mountain range is very steep and cannot be climbed, which means that they can’t go up with them, but it’s a waste to just investigate the situation and bring too many people. We plan to take a few people to see the situation. .

Find the Captain of those warriors and ask: "Can you tell if there is a problem with the water? I mean a quick and safe test, not let people drink water for experimentation."

< p>_______________________________________________

Captain without the slightest hesitation said: “It’s a good test. The poisonous water has a special smell, and it’s obvious that it can be distinguished as long as we lick a little bit of our tongue. We are so strong. People who want to drink a large bowl of poisoned water will have adverse reactions, and a few drops will not hurt."

"Well, you find the 5 most clever ones. Note, battle strength is not important , But you have to use your brain well and your skills to be flexible."

"Understood." That Captain quickly found 5 men, plus he was 6 people.

Let 6 of them sit on top of the tank with Wentian, while I took off with the rose. The main reason was that the elytra was unfolded when the tank was flying, so it was not convenient to ride. The 9 of us and the tank flew towards the most peak. After flying over a forest, we saw the mountain. The height was not very high, but the area was not small. We found a place to land above the snow line on the top of the mountain and took everyone down and started looking for water problems.

They tasted the taste of snow, and they confirmed that there is no problem with the snow. In order to ensure reliability, I used eternal snow to melt, and then took some ice from under the snow layer. The result proved that the ice is also no problem. It seems that there is no problem with the total source of water, so the water must have been contaminated in the process of flowing. Because at first summon has passed tanks, I am now restricted from being able to summon pets, even if I put away the tanks, I cannot replace them, so the plan to make holes for the Summon Trailblazers cannot be realized.

We can't study the current of the underground river if we can't make a hole, so we have to go down to the mountain to take a look. After reaching the foot of the mountain, everyone walked towards the big lake. Everyone here knows this lake, but few people can go here. The main reason is that the lake is surrounded by a forest, and there are too many monsters in the forest, so everyone can't get here.

Because of the large area of ​​the lake, it is easy to find. We found the outlet of the underground river by the lake. Water gushes out from a gap in the mountain, like a waterfall. We checked the water quality of this waterfall and found that the waterfall is also clean water for drinking.

A warrior tasted the water in the lake, but there is still no problem. Rose said: "This is the water inlet. Even if the lake is polluted, there will be no response. We will go to the center of the lake and the water outlet to test."

I took a warrior and flew to the center of the lake to test the water. Others went to the outlet on the other side of the lake to test. We still found no pollution in the middle of the lake, which means that there is no problem with the lake. It's a pity that this lake is too dangerous. It would be nice if people here could cross the forest to get water here. I took the warrior and flew to the mouth of the lake to meet other people, and I saw that those warriors were drinking water. They all tasted at first, why would they drink so much?

After seeing me coming down, the ignoring leader stood up and said: "The water here is poisonous, but the concentration is much lower than the toxins in our place. If the water there is only this toxin standard, we can do it. Mix it with rainwater and drink it together, then there will be no problem!"

"There are weak toxins in the water outlet, but there is no toxin in the lake, which means that the source of toxins is not far from here. Let's look downstream. Look."

Walking down the river, I gradually entered the forest. After walking for almost one kilometer, we tested the water quality again. This time the Captain was only dipped in a drop of river water and tasted, but he immediately spit out the water and spit out desperately. "This water tastes so heavy, it has a much higher concentration than ours. If this water can kill people with just one bite, my tongue is already a little numb!"

"Then don't have to taste it, here It must be the source of the toxin. Tank, you go back and pick up the rest of the people. We have to search here. There must be a source of toxins nearby."

The tank is obedient to pick up people, we will first Start checking the water quality nearby. You don't need to taste the water just now. You can smell a clear smell with your nose. It seems that the source of the poison is very strong, but we still didn't find anything until the tank picked up people. After all, there were too few people and it was very slow to search.

New arrivals help search much faster, and soon someone will find the problem. "Captain!"

"What's the matter?" Warrior Captain asked.

"You better come and take a look here."

We gathered there together and saw the warrior pointing to the ground next to it. I took a look and didn’t notice anything at first. When I looked carefully, I found that a large group of gel-like things stuck to a plant on the ground. The plant was completely dead, and it seemed that it was not long. Otherwise the leaves should fall.

Wen Tian wanted to touch it with my hands and was held by me. I took out a long sword with a trash whiteboard. I stabbed it a little with the tip of the sword, and immediately began to smoke from the sword. Wentian was shocked, thinking that fortunately he didn't touch it.

Although the tip of the long sword smokes but does not soften, it seems that it is not a strong acid. A warrior sniffed and said, "This smell looks like that kind of toxin!"

When he said that, the surrounding warriors all said that it was indeed the smell, which meant that the thing was a toxin. But we don't know what caused the toxin, and there is still no way to solve the problem!

The rose looked at the toxin and then said to me: "This should be left by some kind of animal. It dripped from the top of this plant. This plant showed that it was killed by the toxin. "

Wen Tian looked at the plant and said: "It can be dropped to this height, this creature is not small!" The plant is 60 centimeters high. If the creature was not spraying toxins on purpose, That means this guy is not too small.

"This is also there." A warrior over there called, and we ran over.

This time it was even more scary. A large drop of crystal clear and near-transparent venom gel hung on the leaves more than two meters above the ground, and the whole half of the big tree was withered and yellow. Rose looked at it and said: "It seems that the analysis is wrong. This thing is not big, it can climb trees!"

"If you can climb trees, it will definitely leave claw marks on the trees. Please look for it. Look."

A large group of people immediately began to look left and right on the surrounding tree trunks. Suddenly, I suddenly turned my head looking towards a direction like a jittery, staring at that side for a long time without seeing anything. I turned my head in a puzzled mood and continued to look for the claw marks, but I was still thinking about the reaction just now. Just now, I clearly felt a sensation of being peeped, and it was extremely cold, as if there was a cold air coming from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. What is it that makes me feel this way?

"Here." A warrior finally found the claw marks.

I ran over and looked at the claw mark. This mark is very strange, two deep cuts appear on both sides of the big tree. Generally speaking, animals climbing trees will leave side by side claw marks, but why is this a single one? And two traces appeared on both sides. These two traces are more than 1.2 meters above the ground, and they are horizontal, and the incision is like a knife cut.

This cut illustrates a lot of problems. The horizontal cut shows that the creature was either going up or down at the time, it was just squatting on the tree. What creature can fix itself sideways on a tree?

Rose looked at Heavenly Dao for a while: "I don’t think it’s wrong. No matter what, this creature shouldn’t leave such claw marks. From this angle, it can’t stay at all. Besides, there won’t be any creatures. Climb the tree with two toes!"

"What could this be?"

"There are claw marks here too." A warrior shouted.

"There are also on this side."

"There are many on this side."

All of a sudden, everyone found a lot of claw marks, almost all over the direction extending into the forest. With these traces. The height of these traces is about 1.2 meters, which makes us even more strange. What kind of creature will always jump around in such a high position?

"Are these not the claw marks left by climbing trees?" Wentian boldly speculated: "Maybe this is a mark, just like animals leaving their scent information everywhere to mark their territory. This guy likes to draw stick marks on trees?"

"Under normal circumstances, the probability is not great?" Rose touched the marks on the tree: "These marks are two or three inches deep. Deep. It must have been attached back then, so it left such a deep trace."

I looked at the trace again. "Is there a problem with the distance between these marks? Judging from the depth of the incision, the load-bearing capacity was not less than one ton at the time. The volume of such a heavy creature should not be small, but look at it, almost every tree on this beast path There are traces, and there are traces on both sides of the road, this thing would not like to follow the ZigZag route, right?"

"This is not right, that is not right, what is this?" Wentian holding head squatted on the ground worrying.

Suddenly, I turned my head back, and saw a dark figure disappeared between the two trees. "Don't run." I screamed and charged up. Two and a half months behind me, they detached from my body and chased after him. Wentian they saw me running and chased me.

I rushed to the place where the black shadow I saw just now, looked around, only to see what seemed to be a tail in the distance and disappeared in a flash. I hurriedly pursued it again, but there was no trace after I got to that position. Half a month violently cut off a tree, and a dark red thing appeared behind it, but it moved fast as lightning and disappeared. After two and a half months, it quickly caught up with it.

There was a shock ahead, and the tank landed in front of the thing and swung its sickle-like forearm to cut off a large tree, but the guy suddenly turned around and turned a corner and disappeared. This thing moves too fast, and it's especially adapted to scurrying between trees.

"Over there." I stretched out my hand and made a sharp bend for a month and a half to stop the monster. The thing turned around and tried to run, but another half a month passed and stopped it again. When it turned again, the tank had blocked that side. The four directions of the monster were blocked by me, the tank, and two and a half months. This time it depends on how you run.

"Ah!" Suddenly a scream came from behind me, in the direction of Rose and the others. Oops, lured the tiger away from the mountain plan!
