At the critical moment, Tangke arrived in time and pushed away Lolita who was stupid on the spot, saving the little girl from bad luck. Wherever the blood-red mist passed, it all turned into liquefied stinky water. After Tangke pushed Lolita away, he hurriedly swung a sword towards the sky, and the sword qi flew up, but it was shot in the air and turned invisible in the air.

Tangke was not close enough to teleport. He saw that Lolita was not far away, so he rescued him easily. And after he first caught sight of the Earl Red Bird, he had already made some moves.

"Hurry up and hide away!" Tangke patted the frightened Lolita, stood up with his sword, and inspected the blood-red shadow high in the sky.

After Lolita regained her senses, she was dissatisfied:

"Even if you didn't save me just now, I could have avoided it myself!"

But after all, her feet were moving towards the village.

Tangke had no intention of bickering with Lolita, but just stared at the sky and reminded: "Elizabeth, hurry up and hide in a safe place! This strange bird is too fast, I'm afraid you will make a mistake."

Elizabeth also stared at the fast-moving red shadow, without stubbornness, she stepped back step by step.

More than 300 stupid monsters rushed over with long-barreled muskets, and without giving any orders, they voluntarily shot at the earl red bird in the sky. The sky burst apart. However, the group of stupid monsters did not grasp the timing of shooting, resulting in the bullets failing to enter the effective range, and they all shot empty.

Although these muskets did not play a killing role, the sound like popping beans still played a certain deterrent effect. The earl's red bird screamed again and again, hovering in the air, not daring to fly down easily.

Tangke knew in his heart that it was impossible to defeat the earl's red bird, and the best result was to drive the bird away, or wait for the bird to fly away on its own when it got tired. He does not fight a battle that is sure to be lost, and instead of actively attacking, he has been trying to evade, just to protect himself.

After the battle dragged on for a while, the large army in the village finally came over. There were thousands of elves in total, and the leader was a middle-aged male elf, wearing the most gorgeous golden feather coat, holding a handle that looked very good quality. long sword with a tiger head carving on the hilt.

"Father!" Lolita shouted happily through the window, hiding in a wooden house.

Tang Ke glanced at the menacing army, and his heart was calm.

Count Red Bird stared at the rushing army, made a threatening cry, swooped down, grabbed the two elves lying in a pool of blood, and flew away again without looking back.

Tangke stared at the distant back of the Earl Red Bird, withdrew his sword, and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

By the time the large army arrived, the earl's red bird had already disappeared. The villagers of Caiyun Village were busy treating the wounded and blaming the strange bird that attacked people.

Lolita ran to her father's side, hugged the straight and strong leg, and dawdled a few times like a spoiled child.

"Father, two of our villagers were taken away by the Blood Lord Bird..." Lolita raised her face and cried as she rubbed the village chief's pants wet.

"We will avenge the dead relatives, so as to comfort their spirits in heaven." The village chief sighed and patted his daughter's head.

"Well." Lolita choked a few times, then remembered something, pointed to Tangke and said, "He just... helped me a little."

The village chief turned his eyes to Tangke, with a little gratitude in his eyes, but more of a scrutiny. He seemed to use his eyes to peel off the layers of Tangke's camouflage to see the depth of his soul. He quietly pushed his daughter's hand away, then walked to Tangke, and said politely, "You are Captain Tangke, right? I heard the villagers tell you about you, and I have a general understanding. But this is not the place to talk. , let's find a place to talk."

"Excuse me then, please lead the way in front of the village chief." Tangke responded politely. He glanced back at Eliza himself, motioned her to stay and look after the Black Pearl, and then called in two stupid monsters, carrying two large boxes of wine.

The village chief also asked the people in the village to strengthen the guard to prevent the red bird from attacking again. Then, he led the way in front of the village.

According to the meaning of the village chief just now, it is obvious that he wants to talk to Tangke alone, but Lolita obviously can't understand what the heat is, and insists on going with him. It's no wonder that she was a little frightened just now, and it is inevitable that she wants to stay with her close relatives and seek some comfort. The village chief hinted Lolita to leave several times, but Lolita just refused to leave. He thought about it and said nothing more.

On the way, Tang Ke and the village chief kept silent and walked forward calmly.

Naturally, the two of them had countless questions in their hearts, but since they said they would find a place to talk slowly, no one was in a hurry to ask them on the road. This is also a test of composure.

It was inevitable that Tang Ke would use the investigation technique secretly to investigate the details of the village chief. It turned out that the village chief was a fourth-order sword soil, and he could basically be tied with Tang Ke. It can be seen that although Caiyun Island advocates sword ±, its overall strength is also limited. In other words, it is not so easy to become a sword soil above the fourth rank.

Swordsmen, like magicians, all depend on their innate aptitude. About 300 to 150% of the people who can become swordsmen, and only one or two out of 10,000 people can achieve something. For this reason, swordsmen are also more numerous in this world, compared to warlocks and druids are even rarer.

On the way, Tangke looked around at the scenery on the street. The island was relatively flat, and some trees that looked like pine trees were planted. These trees were obviously hardy and had the habit of growing at high altitudes. He also found some birds that were slightly larger than chickens and ducks. It seemed that the people of Caiyun Village had domesticated them little by little over a long period of time. In addition to the birds that can be kept in captivity, there are many wooden bird cages in many houses and courtyards, large and small, containing a variety of wild birds. The people of Caiyun Village, who live in the air, may only be able to eat bird meat as their staple food.

As we went deeper into the island, the ten-story tower and the buildings at the bottom also revealed their true colors. It turns out that there is not only a towering building on the island, but also a large stone masonry around the bottom of the tower. These houses are so grand and grand that they can be regarded as a small palace.

The high tower and those stone buildings are a huge project. The island is poor in materials, and it is absolutely impossible for the villagers to build it. Judging from the differences between stone buildings and wooden buildings, the island may have two histories.

Tangke learned more information, but also more doubts.

Not only is Tang Ke observing the surroundings, there are also countless eyes watching him, this guy with "short ears". Fortunately, Tangke is used to being watched, and he can use it as air no matter how much attention he pays.

After walking for a while, the village chief finally stood in front of a wooden house compound, but it was still quite a distance from the stone buildings in front.

"Please come in. Let's find a seat inside and sit down and talk slowly." The village chief stretched out his slender hand towards the courtyard gate.

"Father, why don't you take him to our house as a guest?" Lolita asked suspiciously. "Lolita, the guest is exhausted from the journey, and it will be very tiring to go further. Wouldn't it be better to let him rest here for a while?"

The village chief said calmly.

"Oh." Lolita didn't go any further on this issue.

Tangke nodded with the village chief, strode into the yard, and after entering the house, he let the stupid monster put down the wine box and said, "A small gift is not a respect."

"You are too polite." The village chief smiled.

Tangke shrugged indifferently, thinking who asked him to ask for this village.

Lolita leaned over and grabbed a bottle of red wine, handed it to her father, and recommended: "This water is delicious, sweet, but it will make you dizzy after drinking it."

"Oh, it turned out to be wine." The village chief didn't seem so surprised.

"Father, do you know this thing?"

"Lolita, you went to the village library too few times. There is a record about wine there." The village chief stroked his daughter's head a few more times and stepped into the house.

Tangke and the village chief sat opposite each other at the table. In addition to the two of them, there were Lolita, two stupid monsters, and four master swordsmen in the village. Although the village chief had ordered people to prepare food, and Tang Ke had brought some good wine, the people present obviously couldn't afford to eat, and they directly chatted about business.

After the village chief sat down, he opened the chat box first and asked, "You seem to have good strength. I don't know what rank sword soil you are?"

Tang Ke was about to answer truthfully, but he was more careful, and he didn't want to tell the truth. If he exaggerated it, it would shock the other party. If he kept a low profile, it would allow the other party to underestimate his own strength and take advantage of the opportunity.

"I'm a third-order swordsman." Tang Ke finally chose this answer. He thought about it very quickly, and he didn't seem to hesitate when answering.

"You are also a master swordsman~lightnovelpub.net~ It is admirable and admirable."

"Where." Tangke was polite for a moment, then went straight to the subject and asked, "What's going on with that tall tower on the island?"

Lolita was very keen to answer this question, and said:

"You said the 'Hangjian Tower'! There are ancestors..." "Lolita, let me answer this question. It's not okay to interject like this." The village chief smiled kindly, hitting Cut off his daughter's narration, "Captain Tangke, what you are talking about is the 'Hidden Sword Tower', which is the place where swords are stored on the island, similar to a warehouse. Captain Tangke, I don't know how much food you brought on board this time. What? What's in it? I'm very interested in these delicacies."

Lolita gasped because she was interrupted from what she wanted to say.

Tangke felt that the village chief seemed to be hiding something, but it was not easy to ask questions. He answered about the stock of food on board, and he did not hide this issue.

The village chief nodded meaningfully, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and a bright light flashed through them, like the cold light that flashed when he drew a sword.
