Chapter 65: Assassinate
On the way back, Chateau recalled the whole process of the soldiers killing the orcs, while considering how many orcs he and Dean's team could handle at once, and how many orcs could he handle if he counted the scrolls?
Walk to the edge of the Luzhu Forest, and then it is the southernmost part of Savile. Several villages are scattered between Savile Town and Luzhu Forest.
From the Lvzhu Forest to the town, the closer it is, the denser the traces of human activities. In the past ninety years, the Savile collar has been developed from nothing.
When Chardonnay just crossed Netheril, he appeared in the west of Savile Town, crossing the Wolfsburg River and then west, in the wilderness between the villages.
There is another direction that Savile has pioneered.
Half of the population of Savile is in the town of Savile, and the other half is in the village.
Once the orcs arrived, the town had a mage tower, enough to cover the entire town, but the people in the village were in danger. Idim and others from the Chateau team only chose to join the territory army so that their families could enter the town for refuge. .
Xia Duo sighed in his heart that it is not easy for the ordinary people of Saville to survive. At the same time, he also wanted to know what the core area of the empire was like.
While looking forward to the future, he discussed with Dean the skills of spellcasting with great interest. Although Chateau had a better understanding of the nature of spells than Dean, he only had a few months of specific "hands-on practice". experience.
And Dean has been in the Mage Tower for more than two years. In the practice of spellcasting, he can always bring some new thinking and new understanding to Xia Duo, which even has a certain effect on Xia Duo's understanding of the nature of spells.
After all, practice is the foundation of theory and has a decisive effect on theory.
Of course, Dean's spellcasting skills have not yet reached the level of decisiveness.
When passing by a village, the two of them were discussing and laughing. Obviously, both were very satisfied.
"Be careful, there are assassins!"
Upon hearing these words, Xia Duo hardly considered anything, and instantly entered the state of concentration, striding forward Gibb a few steps away.
By the way, he pulled Dean, who was a little at a loss. At the same time, a light ball that was slightly smaller than usual [Lighting Art], but much brighter, appeared in his original position.
Regardless of whether the assassin targeted him or not, Chateau naturally chose what was best for him.
And Gibb's reaction was also quite quick. When Xia Duo pulled Dean closer, he and Uke turned back with shields, protecting Xia Duo and Dean one left and one right.
Just as Xia Duo was thankful that the assassin didn't attack him, a crossbow arrow shot out from one side of the residential house, hitting the place where he was just now, and sank into the mud, leaving only a small section of tail feathers shaking slightly.
At this moment, Xia Duo felt a chill in his back, and his heart was pounding violently. After he was afraid, a burst of anger suddenly broke out--someone wanted to kill him!
Xia Duo is not so easy to be dazzled by anger. When the squad members were in a commotion, he hurriedly shouted: "Aiva, catch alive!"
In his heart, although Aiva is very mysterious, it is also very powerful. It was Aiva who discovered the anomaly first and reminded him in time.
The change on Xia Duo's side, the Sami and Devine teams, who were only less than 50 meters away in front, also found out, and Sami even directly sent inquiring information through [communication].
"There has been a slight change, we can handle it, you go first, it is important to go back to treat the wounded!" Xia Duo also replied with [Communications].
In this short moment of the call, the members of Chateau and Dean's team also completed the alert formation. It just happened so suddenly that no one thought that when passing through the village, someone would sneak attack.
"Captain Gibb, have you encountered anything like this before?"
"No." Gibb said affirmatively, "Who dares to attack the lord's soldier in the territory!"
However, this remark also caused a sneer from a soldier. Xia Duo remembered him. Azda, who was recruited from adventurers, was nicknamed "Mustache". The handful of neatly-kept beards made an impression. Extremely deep.
"Azda, what do you think?"
"Mage Xia Duo, what can I think of it is nothing more than vendetta. Think about whether you usually offend people. Of course, I'm not talking about two mages, but some people."
Azda glanced at a soldier recruited by the same adventurer next to him without a trace, as if to say that it was the disaster caused by this man.
"Moustache, don't talk nonsense!" This old man has a strong desire to survive, and he immediately broke out that he had had financial troubles with Azida, "I knew that you made a mistake on that mission and I deducted money. He said there was no dissatisfaction, and I didn't expect to wait for me here!"
"Old Lock, you fart! If it wasn't for you to withdraw money from the team, and change so many players? I think someone is dissatisfied with finding an assassin to kill you!"
The nickname "Old Lock" was just trying to explain, Xia Duo raised his hand to stop him, he really didn't want to listen to this kind of intrigue between adventurers.
The arrow just now was clearly shot at him. If it wasn't for the critical moment, use the deformed [lighting technique] to shake the opponent, maybe you can't wait for Gibb to protect him~www.readwn.com~ The adjusted crossbow arrow hit.
And the other reason why I don't want to listen to their nonsense, of course, is that Aiva is back.
It’s just that he came back empty-handed. Did he let the assassin run away? still is--
"Aiva, how about stab the guest?"
"The situation is a bit complicated, Master Xia Duo, come with me." Aiva motioned Xia Duo to go with him alone.
Xia Duo didn't understand what Aiva meant, but he ordered the others to be on guard, and followed Aivara to a house not far from the road.
"Mage Xia Duo, I don't know who you provoke, but I think you may be in big trouble." Aiva said this much harder, just when Xia Duo wanted to ask.
Aiwa had already walked in, and Xia Duo quickly followed.
As soon as he came in, Xia Duo smelled a broken, decayed aura, mixed with some strange smells that could not be said, making Xia Duo frown.
The furnishings in the private house are quite simple. The only piece of furniture is a bed placed in the corner. There are a row of clay pots on one side of the wall and a few wooden boxes on the other.
On the opposite side of the bed, there are still two sheep!
In the center of the room is a clay pot hanging from the beam of the house, underneath is a trace of a fire, and half of the dried meat of an unknown animal hangs on the beam, which is quite lifelike.
This is the first time that Xia Duo has seen the houses of ordinary Naisi people, or more accurately, the homes of ordinary Naisi farmers.
The big trouble mentioned by Aiwa should be here. Xia Duo looked around, and found a man in a black robe near the window, and a crossbow fell to the side.
This must be the murderer and weapon that just shot an arrow.
Xia Duo took two steps closer, and when he took a closer look, he was shocked, "This—"
