Ryan invited Martina out last night. Of course, in order to increase the success rate, Ryan also specially invited Du Shen, Watson, and two other girls who are familiar with Martina.
Ryan's strategy was quite successful. At first, Martina was adamantly refused. Later, under the persuasion of Du Shen and the two girls, she agreed to go out with the crowd.
The process of playing is monotonous and boring in Du Shen's opinion. Others are always emotional.
In the evening, after having eaten at one of the city's famous restaurants, the group decided to return to the temple for the night. Du Shen naturally found an excuse to leave the team. He also thought about going out into the wild to create skeletons and consume the Force. If it weren't for the rare opportunity during the day, you could match Martina and Ryan to brush their favor. Du Shen had long wanted to get out of the city.
It's really that the Force of Fear in Green City is particularly abundant. Du Shen walked everywhere, as if bathed in a warm ocean.
Although he couldn't wait, Du Shen still didn't take it lightly. He deliberately circumnavigated the bustling night market, creating two ghosts to monitor the front and back from a distance.
Using ghost reconnaissance several times, Du Shen became more and more proficient. The night market is full of traffic and people, which reduces the chance of ghosts being exposed. After all, the world's methods of detecting ghosts are primitive and mostly rely on instinct.
Walking through the two night markets, Du Shen actually found that he was being followed. He was stunned. Those who follow themselves are by no means unusually ruffians. The other party was wearing a robe and a hood, and his whole body was tightly wrapped. Du Shen had tried to send ghosts to get closer. The other party quickly became alert. In order to avoid being exposed, Du Shen had no choice but to give up, and ordered the two ghosts to lurk far away and no longer follow him.
"Who could it be?" Du Shen made all kinds of guesses while wandering aimlessly.
After some exclusion, Du Shen thought that the stalker behind him was most likely from the Temple, or the families of the three aristocratic teenagers such as Harry.
As for the deed of sale that Pori forced Du Shen to sign. At the beginning, all the insiders failed to escape Du Shen's hot hand, and the contract was also found and destroyed by Du Shen. Du Shen was convinced that the Corolla family behind Pori knew at most that Pori intended to calculate himself. They did not understand the progress of Pori's operation, and should not hate themselves.
Regardless of who sent the stalker, it seemed that Du Shen's plan could only be aborted. After a little consideration, Du Shen intended to linger outside the tavern where he was engaged in the leather and meat business for a long time. He turned and reluctantly returned to the temple.
Walking across a stone bridge, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the narrow alley and pushed Du Shen into the darkness.
Du Shen was really taken aback. He released the ghost's surveillance early, and naturally he didn't know that the person who was following him actually went around in front of him.
The gray-robed man forced Du Shen into a corner, and pressed a cold dagger to Du Shen's neck: "Shut up! ”
In the process of being coerced, Du Shen saw that the two passers-by in front and behind were obviously aware of what happened to him. But they all lowered their heads and quickened their pace, turning a blind eye.
Du Shen couldn't help but sigh at the courage of the stalker, it seemed that the other party was not afraid of attracting the interference of passers-by. Du Shen struggled slightly, but found that he couldn't move at all. His heart sank slightly: "With my subordinate strength, I feel powerless." Most of the people in front of you are high-ranking knights!"
Although Du Shen was shocked, he was not confused, and said with a calm smile: "Your Excellency is afraid that you have recognized the wrong person! I am just a new apprentice of the temple, not a fat sheep!"
The gray-robed man's voice was low, and he seemed to be a middle-aged man: "Your name is Du Shen." You're looking for you!Keep quiet and follow me. If you shout, you may be able to attract the city guards. But before they arrive, I'm sure I'll stab you in the neck. ”
Du Shen was calm, and slightly raised his hands and spread out his palms to show cooperation: "I believe." I'm willing to clear up our misunderstanding. ”
The gray-robed man was silent, grabbed Du Shen's arm and pushed it gently. He put away the dagger and actually walked side by side with Du Shen.
The gray-robed man relaxed his confinement, but Du Shen did not dare to make the slightest move. Because of the difference in strength between the two sides, the gray-robed man could kill Du Shen in an instant with his bare hands. Du Shen now needs to find a way to distance himself. It doesn't need to be too far, as long as the gray-robed man can't reach him, Du Shen is sure to escape with the help of Nai He Zhu's ability. Maybe, it can be countered. Therefore, Du Shen acted very calmly according to the instructions of the gray-robed man.
Walk through the streets. Du Shen found that the gray-robed man actually brought himself to the city gate. Seeing the guards standing guard near the gate, without waiting for Du Shen to think about it, he heard the gray-robed man beside him whisper: "Don't you think that today's city gate is closed too late?"
Du Shen looked at the city gate that was still open, but there were few pedestrians, and realized later: "It's quite late." It's dark, and the gates haven't been closed yet!"
"Hehe...... the gray-robed man chuckled twice, still walking unhurriedly, "It's not abnormal for no reason." So, you don't try to struggle. Don't even think about asking the guards for help. ”
Du Shen's heart sank, and he whispered in surprise: "You mean, they are in a group with you?"
"You have too many words," the gray-robed man tugged lightly, pulling Du Shen to a stagger, "Follow me." Don't look around. ”
When Du Shen heard this, he had to follow in silence. When Du Shen walked into the city gate, the surrounding guards really didn't care about the suspicious two.
In the doorway, Du Shen tried to observe the appearance of the gray-robed man with the help of the oil lamp on the stone wall. But in the hood, he saw only a wooden mask.
The gray-robed man held Du Shen hostage and went out of the city and arrived at a remote wood. He let go of his hand and gently nudged Du Shen.
Du Shen turned around and faced him: "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is ordered, why do you have to look for me?"
"Naturally, I borrowed your identity," the gray-robed man took out a short wooden staff from his robe and tapped his palm gently, "I hope you can act as an undercover agent and inquire about some news about the temple for us." ”
Du Shen looked around, but did not find any other figures, only saw sparse woods and open fields in the distance: "Which force does Your Excellency belong to?
The gray-robed man shook his wooden staff, his snow-white gloves reflecting a dim white light in the moonlight: "You just need to know that I am a wizard. As for what news. Actually, you don't have to worry about it. You just have to bring the message out. ”
"Your Excellency said with a smile," Du Shen shook his head, his face full of absurdity, "Your Excellency is clearly a knight......"
didn't wait for Du Shen to finish speaking. The gray-robed man raised his staff and drew slowly in a circle. There were words in his mouth. After a while, a gray mist appeared around the head of the staff, which became thicker and thicker, and emitted an unpleasant fishy odor.
"It's a poisonous mist," the gray-robed man stopped drawing in a circle, "it should prove my identity, right?"
Du Shen shook his head and pretended to be disdainful: "It's just a little trick." ”
"Look again!" the gray-robed man pointed his staff at a small dirt bag nearby. After a few moments of chanting, the loose dirt bags began to surge. First, the miserable white palm broke through the ground. A skeleton slowly crawled out of the mound.
"You're really a wizard," Du Shen sighed unluckily, still shaking his head, "Your Excellency laughed. I am a temple disciple and have a bright future ahead of me. Why should I join you?"
"Then I can only kill you," the wizard turned around and pointed the thin end at Du Shen, walking slowly, "and then find another replacement." ”
Seeing that the wizard seemed to use the wooden staff as a short sword, Du Shen slowly retreated with a hippie smile: "Don't worry! You don't talk about benefits, you just force me to do things. Most of them don't expect to support me in the long term. If you will be killed soon, why should I die for you in vain?"
The wizard paused, seemingly stunned for a moment. He put down his short cane: "You kid, you're a little clever. You're not afraid of death?"
"Who is not afraid of death," Du Shen stepped back slightly with a hippie smile, without revealing the slightest fear, "but whether you die or not, it is you who have the final say." Whether you want to suffer or not, but I will do it myself. ”
"Rogue character," the wizard shook his head, "don't worry, if you work hard, you will naturally benefit from it." All kinds of witchcraft are up to you, all kinds of treasures are up to you......"
"Haha......" Du Shen sneered, "Anyone can blow cowhide!" In my opinion, following you is too unpromising. You have so much witchcraft and treasure, and you haven't been caught up in hiding by the Temple. ”
"Greedy, arrogant," the wizard raised his staff again, pressing on Du Shen, "It seems that I can only kill you." Don't blame me, boy. I only complain that you have the wrong backer, not my generation. ”
The wizard slowly approached, and Du Shen retreated again and again. He felt that the wizard in front of him seemed to be too mother-in-law. If the other party really has the intention to kill himself, he will do it. Guilty of a bunch of nonsense, and step by step?
Du Shen felt that the other party was just deliberately creating momentum, so he stood still for the time being: "Don't worry! The benefits you promised are unrealistic." No wonder you can't grow. You're either too stingy, or you just won't buy people's hearts. No wonder you were pressed and beaten by the temple! In these years, there is no benefit, who will do things for you with your heart?" After saying this, Du Shen shook his head and sighed regretfully.
Because of the cover of the robe and mask, Du Shen couldn't detect the other party's emotions. But the gray-robed man stopped and was silent for a while before he spoke again: "Okay. As long as you do this well, I promise to teach you a powerful sorcery. ”
Du Shen pouted with lack of interest: "Let's hear it." ”
The wizard pointed to the skeleton of the man standing next to the mound, "I taught you the sorcery of making skeleton warriors." ”
"I'm not interested," Du Shen shook his head, "You skeleton, you don't look very powerful." Skinny and small. ”
Indeed, the skeleton in front of him is much smaller than that made by Nai He Zhu. Moreover, the skeleton's bones are relatively slender, and they don't look like they know each other. What's more, the skeleton in front of him was actually empty-handed and unarmed. And the flames in its eye sockets were also very faint.
"Not powerful," the wizard sneered, "Isn't it powerful, can you kill the elemental envoys? Isn't it powerful, can you kill 60 apprentices? Isn't it powerful, can you kill the Templar chickens and dogs? To tell you the truth, half a month ago, we did the bloody case in Frostwolf Town!"
"What!" Du Shen was shocked and took a step back. He pointed at the gray-robed man and was shocked: "You say, you did the bloody case in Frostwolf Town?"
"That's right," the wizard straightened his chest and tilted his head proudly, "the skeleton is right in front of you, and you haven't reacted yet?"
"I ......," Du Shen nodded hard, "I believe." I should have thought of it a long time ago. Although it looks a little different. Unexpectedly, you are the murderer. ”
