Chapter 21: Eliminating the Roots

Another reason why Oster's combat potion belt was taken away earlier was that he was afraid that the other party would have a chance to drink the potion while he was still breathing, which would be more troublesome.

Gavin's caution was not wrong. One of the two people really had one breath left, but this person was not Oster, a professional, but Roang.

It's not that Luo Ang hides his secrets, but that he has better luck than Ost.

The two of them sat facing each other in the carriage, and Oster suffered most of the impact of the explosion flames on the side where the fireball technique landed.

"Help me...save me...my belt...there is...healing in my belt..." Hearing someone approaching, Luo Ang asked for help with difficulty.

One of his arms has disappeared, and the other arm and half of his body are pinned under Ost, leaving him with no healing potion and no way to drink it.

Using Oster as a human shield to block most of them had already exhausted his luck today.

When he saw the appearance of the person coming clearly, Luo Ang's hope of survival that had just surfaced turned into complete despair, and then turned into full of resentment, "It's you, it's you... I... I knew... It would be you, why... why... do you do this? I am your dear brother... you are being rebellious..."

At this moment, Roang identified Gavin as the mastermind behind everything.

puff!

Gavin had no intention of nagging Roang, so he chopped off his head with one sword, and then cut off Ost's head with another sword in his backhand.

Someone would come to check on the situation at any time, and he would have no time to talk to Roang. What's more, there was no way to explain clearly, because the greatest harm they would do to Gavin would be in the future, another future.

In Faerûn, death is not the end.

Because of the existence of gods and divine magic, death has many more possibilities.

The resurrection of the dead is neither too common nor too rare.

There is no such priest in Fort Nott, but there is a high probability that there will be one in Dalauma City.

However, if the body is damaged, especially if it is seriously damaged such as beheading, the resurrection of the dead is not easy to use. It must be done with complete resurrection or prayer. This requires an extremely high-end priest or mage to do it. The probability of having it in Rauma City has dropped significantly, to less than half a percent.

In addition, there is another prerequisite, that is, someone is willing to pay a huge amount of money for it - no spell is free, including the priest's divine spell.

Gavin believed that based on the personalities of Roang and Ost, no one at Fort Nott would be willing to pay such a price.

But he was unwilling to gamble, and instead artificially minimized the possibility.

Just doing this will leave more evidence, and Gavin can't care about it. This is not a perfect strategy in itself. It is just a cover-up. It depends on whether the person who is covered up believes it or not.

Gavin casually threw the two heads into the bags he had prepared, and Gavin did not miss the equipment on them either.

Roang's battle potion belt, Ost's combat boots and sword were all taken off. If he remembered correctly, the latter two were magic items.

After that, Gavin didn't stop and ran quickly towards the war horse that had been prepared, chasing the goblin warlock in the direction he left. He wanted to ensure that the goblin warlock was not captured alive by the two heavy-armored guards.

At this time, many people who heard the noise reacted and ran towards this side with weapons in hand.

When they ran over, they only found two half-burnt headless corpses and the unconscious heavy-armored guards. They all looked at each other, wondering what had just happened.

A man who was the captain of Nott's militia team was more assertive. He said to several militiamen in the crowd: "You go and notify Captain Zalanda and report the matter here to her. You two stay here. Protect this place and don’t let anyone get close. Also, organize people to wake up the two brothers, and the rest will follow me to catch the assassin.”

Soon a patchwork of militia cavalry followed and chased them.

By the time Zalanda heard the news and rushed back, half a day had passed.

Gavin's timing was very precise. It was exactly the moment when Zalanda led the troops to relieve the siege of Kami Village. She was leading the Nott cavalry to hunt down the goblin troops. It took enough time for the information to reach her. .

Zalanda only stayed at the murder scene for less than half a minute. With a sullen face, she turned around and left, heading straight for Gavin's carriage.

As smart as she is, after listening to the report, she made a guess about what happened. Now it's just a further verification.

Seeing Zalanda, Darren's admiration for Gavin reached a new level. As expected, he jumped out of the carriage and ran up to her: "Captain, captain, this is what Master Gavin asked me to do." Leave it to you."

"Gavin asked you to give it to me?" Zalanda frowned again, took the tome from Darren's hand, and asked, "What else did he tell you?"

Darren slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot. Master Gavin told you to read this book and this letter. I gave it to you as well."

"I got it." Zalanda couldn't figure out what Gavin was doing at the moment, so she said, "Wait here, wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

"Okay." Darren responded.

Zalanda hugged the book and got into Gavin's carriage. She looked around and saw that it was clean and tidy. It didn't look like someone was living there, let alone looking for any useful information.

"You bastard, what on earth are you doing? At this moment, I hope you are controlled by some monster so that I can rescue you!" In an environment where no one was around, Zalanda finally took off his disguise, his face full of smiles. Tangled.

Intellectually, she knew that Gavin was behind all this.

Emotionally, she was unwilling to believe that the person she had raised and nurtured would become a madman who would kill her own brother, even if he was not a good person.

Zalanda finally set his eyes on the letter and book left by Gavin.

Zalanda opened the letter first, glanced at it, and threw it aside. It simply said that the young man outside was a talented person and worthy of key training. Someone should be sent to teach him to read when he had time. It would be best to open a special class. All young people in Notburg would learn to read in the future.

This matter had nothing to do with the current situation, and Zalanda was not in the mood to deal with it for the time being.

Then Zalanda untied the leather rope on the book and opened the first page. There was still a letter inside, and Zalanda opened it instinctively.

My beloved elder sister:

When you see this letter, I guess I have gone far away, very far away.

Don't send anyone to find me. I know what I'm doing. When you need me, I'll come back by myself.

I can't repay you for all these years of care. I can only leave this book. I don't know if it can help you.

From now on, you are no longer a knight of the Nott family, but a knight of the entire Tethyr people. The people here have suffered for too long. They need a knight to save, awaken, and lead them to do what they want to do. I will always support you behind your back.

Also, don't get married before I come back.
