You seriously explained to Elizabeth that you did not come here to save people with a kind heart, but for a more realistic reason, which will be explained later.

"Well, of course I believe everything you say. ”

A sweet and false smile, this is the expression Elizabeth most often shows to you. It's been so long that you've never seen her open her heart, and you've never managed to capture her when she reveals her true feelings. Is it really believing, or perfunctory.

You take out your money bag, throw it all at her, and ask her if she is short of money.

All.

Elizabeth was stunned, sneered and threw the money bag back.

"That's not enough. I'll listen to your explanations first, and then do the math – I have a business that is not for hypocrites, and I'll tell you later, privately. With that, Elizabeth turned and swam away without hesitation, as if she had been preparing to leave. Maybe you're not thinking much about it.

Although she didn't know the mindset of the shapeshifters, if it was a human, the guild would be in trouble, and she had put enough effort into it, so she wouldn't leave at this time. When you return to the guild, you will not be able to see Elizabeth, so you will have to do your best.

You move on,

Walking out of the spiritual passage of the "Phase Gate" with Octalia and Tongen, a spacious cavern with air appeared in front of them. The artificially level, rocky floor is moist and tidy, and the walls are covered with mushrooms that resemble a cyan moon. At first glance, the so-called mermaid villages are no different from human towns - brick walls, tiled eaves, wooden pillars, glass windows. There are no imaginary shells or corals.

But you see a large group of pale blue-skinned mermaid men and women with long legs, concentrated in a small square that looks like a village in the distance. In addition, there are also elites in market guard uniforms, fully armed, carrying boxes of weapons in a panic to the pool in the distance. It's not a pool, it looks like it.

"Huh, am I mistaken?" the redhead rubbed his eyes, took several steps back and even fell into your arms, "Are the market guards desperately trying to protect these mermaids?" It's the market, not the mermaids?"

Why does the market sell mermaid slaves and meat while protecting mermaids?

Tong En didn't know either, and calmly analyzed: "They probably had to fight with the shark people in order to protect themselves because they were blocked in the cave of the mermaid village." ”

"I'm not mistaken! the guards here are more elite than those in the square, so why would they send a heavy army to the merfolk village? Redhead pointed at the merfolk, "Don't you see that there are a lot of strong, combat-ready merfolk out there?"

Tong Eun was asked.

Anyway, right now the market guards are busy jumping into the pool to fend off the shark man. There are almost no humans left in the village.

Before you come near,

The only five remaining market guards were alert to the fact that you were planning to sneak closer, and shouted, "What kind of person...... Uh, the man on the wanted warrant!" At some point, you've been wanted by the market. This wanted notice is communicated instantly through spells, and the mine has suffered heavy casualties and no heralds, so I don't know you, but this is just a battle.

You all immediately start casting spells at the same time.

With extremely fast hand speed, Tong En threw a wave of Level 2 Divine Skill "Silence" at the market guard who was about to cast a spell. To be precise, she aimed at the shield that the market guards threw at her, causing a small area of forced silence at its center. Targeting an item has a higher success rate than targeting an enemy.

You cast a level 2 arcane "protective arrow" on yourself, and it was a perfect shot, and as soon as you finished casting the bow and arrow on the opposite side, you flew over. The quality of these guards was much better than that of the miscellaneous soldiers in the square.

The redhead placed a level 4 arcane "flame shield" around him, and the blazing flames looked like a madman was setting himself on fire, and the madman rushed over with a metal rod.

Luckily, you didn't scrap all of your spell slots for the mine. Three to five is more difficult than expected, the redhead is hit by several arrows but does not flinch, it seems that he has long been used to being treated by his teammates behind him - now Tong Eun, who is in charge of treatment, will not disappoint, one minor injury and two slander injuries, there is no time to bless the redhead.

Your Level 1 "Sleep Technique" hits the center of the enemy, but only manages to stun one person. Three of them, a mage, and one of them was burned to ashes by the red hair, not knowing what it was. Anyone who dares to approach the redhead will take heavy fire damage.

After you wounded a shield-wielding guy with a "magic missile", you just pulled out the magic scroll that Annette had prepared for you from your arms, and the battle was over. Mostly Octalia is performing, and the metal stick is supposed to be a simple weapon, but it's both hard and armor-piercing, as if it was designed specifically to bully warriors. With just one glance, the redhead judged that the enemy warriors were the majority, and immediately pounced with a spell for melee combat without hesitation. Knock into a serious wound, then pounce on the enemy and burn the enemy, and the combat style is fluid.

That's what I mean—Tong En mutters quietly behind you, some people are naturally fit to fight, others are just mortals. The redhead didn't even ask, and was ready to stop casting spells and entered the silent zone. Stopping the Guardians from casting spells and calling for reinforcements is a top priority.

The armorless mage really dares to rush forward?

Apparently Tong En didn't think so, and she didn't hesitate to praise Octalia for her bravery and efficiency. Are these two adjectives really appropriate here?

The merfolk are watching you with trembling vigilance, and a few strong merfolk males are facing you with their tridents.

You show them the amulet necklace.

They all looked overjoyed, as if someone had finally come to their rescue.

"But, we really don't know why Tracey called you here. After a few words, the male mermaid who resembled the village chief looked more confused than Tong En, "A long time ago, the Trixito people told us that they would send someone from the Adventurer's Guild to help us. "How can I help", you ask me, and I ...... too."

Gone?

There are no more clues? It's like a "phase gate" left in advance...... Now, there are about sixty mermaids, men, women, and children in front of you, how can you take them out? The "Phase Gate" can only let seven or eight people leave, and it is very unsafe in the sea now, the "Portal" can only carry three or four companions, which is simply for the mage's personal use, and the "Teleportation Circle" can teleport an infinite number of people, but it is a level 9 spell. There's no way to take them all!

Octavia tugged at her robe, which had been torn by the arrow wound, and asked almost to herself, "Who knows why we were sent here by Mermaid Singer? It can't be that we take them all away...... Moreover, there are heavy guards guarding the market. ”

"No, we're under house arrest here!"

"Woo, I don't know if Brother Cisse is okay outside......"

"Please take me out of here. ”

Tong En turned his head and stared into your eyes, unable to say a word, this number could not have been teleported away anyway. As always, Tong En has a suggestion for you.

A, she will stay here to perform the level 6 arcane "Legends of Knowledge" to get more information about the rumors, legends, and the like of this place. She can't do anything during this process, and must stay focused, for as little as 10 minutes, or as slow as 40 minutes if the available information is insufficient. Anything can happen during this time.

B, she will cast a level 7 arcane "group invisibility" on everyone present at the same time. This is a very risky strategy. With Tong En as the center, everyone within a spherical radius of about 50 meters will be invisible, and outsiders who are new to this range will not enjoy this effect. Here's the problem: you can't see each other, and the distraction will soon become apparent. It is even more difficult to get more than 60 people to swim in the same direction in unison in the three-dimensional sea than to march blindfolded. In particular, the only hole is currently fighting, and in order to avoid accidental injury, everyone will inevitably deviate from the established course.

C, she will cast the level 7 "Arcane Mansion" here, temporarily hiding everyone in another dimension, although they are in other planes, but the coordinates are still in the cave. Within 24 hours, you need to think of how to save the mermaid, otherwise the mansion will disappear.

Or, you intend to

D, Tong En and the instructor in the back row can use the "portal" to pick up as many people. Because of the possibility of being ambushed by the market guards, this plan can only be used now.

E, dig a hole again. At a distance of 100 meters, if a market guard runs back halfway through the digging, you will be severely injured. Once out at sea, the sea water is pouring into the cave with such a loud noise that the sharks and the market guards will notice that you have fled with the merfolk. The situation could easily turn into a domestic hunt.

F, try to make a profit. You've run out of spell slots, and you don't have much redhead left, so Tong En can't be used as an effective force, and you haven't been able to detect the number of sharks and market guards. It's a risky gamble.

G, why did you want to save the mermaid? I asked for some information and went back.

H, kill all the merfolk!It's a crazy decision, if you can guarantee that you don't escape alive, the blood debt will be counted on the head of the market guards, but how can Octalia and Tong's mouths be sealed? Especially since the former is not from the evil camp and not your staff.
