Slowdown 42.3-A: Three Candidates

·

Because he heard the words "Cloud Splitting City" again, Raumi didn't dare to come out. In fact, she has important information to tell you about her new abilities, but she didn't expect to sleep so hard last night that she didn't have a chance to talk about it this morning.

It seems that you have no choice but to set off to the ruins of the town of Hawkeye Oasis on the northwest border of the kingdom to save the Duke of Destruction. If all the information you hear is true, even a mad nobleman in a high position has its own value for existence.

The king's own combat strength is not exaggerated, and it is dangerous to leave the royal city, the head of the Eland regiment is urgently entangled with the army to fill the gap in the forces on the northwest frontier, St. Sisilang is a strategist, and the Vaal pope needs to organize and mobilize to save tens of thousands of people...... Perhaps, only a few hundred remained. Because of his preference for adventurers, His Majesty has gambled on you for an escort mission that will affect the fate of the kingdom.

Eastside?

The nobles of the Eastern Realm got the news yesterday evening, and immediately gathered all the killers to rush to the Hawkeye Oasis and swore to Swane's life! This is the truth that there was a large shortage of people at the ruling meeting last night, and it is also the reason why Viscount Heinkenberm 100,000 was in a hurry to go out on errands.

Some people save it, some people kill it, and in any case it is difficult for any nobleman to turn a deaf ear to Swanai's injury.

In the wee hours of the morning, you begin to pick up troops.

Despite the weakness of your legs, dizziness and bad luck due to the night battle, you still have to go, not only gambling on the fate of the kingdom but also on your own fate. The priority candidates for the private team are the apostles, who will theoretically have better luck. Just as you were pondering the candidates for the private team to go to the northwest border, as if you were carrying out the practice of blessing and misfortune, Samuel, the manager of the market in the labyrinth village, came in a panic, and he would not have come rashly if it were not for the urgency of the situation.

Samuel wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands on his knees: "Elder, you know that my profession is 'Prophet', although my skills are not mature enough, I will routinely cast prophetic spells three times a day in the morning, noon and evening to deal with the vague and wide range of application **-sometime today, Cloud Splitting City will send killers to raid your guild." It's not your territory during the day. ”

......

it?

Why do you choose this time? No, it's because you're not there...... How long has Cloud Splitting City been waiting for this opportunity?Since it was daylight and aimed at the guild, it was probably the Holy Samurai who planned to wipe out Raumi.

Is it because of luck?

It must have been luck, yes. I woke up this morning and probably didn't get up in the right position!

Just before Samuel arrived, you learned that the Otaku Mage, a Steel Golem, had gone to escort Rainbow Shadows back to the Elven Wilds. After you break off your friendship with the plane mage, Rainbow Shadow is expected to return to the main matter plane at dusk for the "New Year" but does not wait for the receiver. Octavia and Fina and other babies were relatively stable at the age of three months, and then they traveled through mountains and rivers in the fairy wilderness to find a naturally formed otherworldly door, and finally reached the main material plane, it was already dark, and the official teleportation stations were all closed. A young mother who has not been giving birth for a long time, an unmarried woman with no experience with children, the two daughters are anxious, and by the way, Octavia also fell into postpartum depression. Early in the morning, she came to the labyrinth village and lost her temper, and finally Hathaway asked the otaku mage to escort the next group of "Rainbow Shadows" members back to the fairy wilderness with one of your steel golems, and then turn back after positioning the tuning fork. In the future, everyone can welcome them, and they can come back on their own.

Your sword song and nurse private soldiers are out, and Raymond is on a remote island to go to sea on a warship to practice, and it will be at least in the afternoon when he comes back.

After you have leveled the evil forces in the Five Alleys Bay and killed a level 20 legendary mage, there is still a paladin group that dares to find fault, and you must be quite well prepared. Find an official excuse to arrest Raumi in a grand manner? Forty or fifty high-ranking holy warriors violently encircled and suppressed? Sealed the magic circle? Instigated the madmen to surround the guild and denounce the burning?

In a word, you don't have enough troops.

At this critical moment, it is extremely risky to drain any combat power to escort that Swanai guy.

The new candidate, who claims to be the boss of the black street in Cloud Splitting City, stares at you with a smile and silently points at himself with his finger. She is a level 17 wanderer, she is a combat power, but she can't be trusted for the time being, and it is impossible to leave the Guild to protect It's possible that she is still an undercover agent sent by Cloud Splitting City, but ......

You've picked her to join the private team, which can be used on escort missions.

There are still two people left.

"Lord, I'm back. ”

Lucy Xia was originally happy, but when she found that the atmosphere in the guild was solemn, she didn't know what was going on, at least all the members of the Crystal Palace were safe and sound, and it was estimated that nothing serious happened. She stretched out her hand to introduce the woman who followed her: "This is from the Sand Country "Xiange Bay...... Uh, she escorted me back. ”

Women wear exotic costumes, quite in the style of ancient Arabia. Translucent light tulle covers the face and the front of the body, the sleeveless little suspender belt with a crop top, the loose and comfortable trousers hug the ankles, and the body is hung with many silver bell-like ornaments. She curtsy to you, "I heard Miss Lucy Xia say that your guild is recruiting middle platoon instructors, I wonder if you would like to hire a wanted criminal?"

...... How is it a wanted man again?

At least she's also a level 17 wanderer, so she should be strong. According to Lucy Xia, she went to the "Fairy Song Bay" to play with her kindred, and had friendly and smooth negotiations with the local admiral on your behalf, and the other party expressed his willingness to try to contact the "Altar Giant Mouth" with small-scale joint military training and small-scale trade. "Xiange Bay" and "Wuxiang Bay" directly start official exchanges, which is slightly more difficult. Take it one step at a time. After eating, drinking, and playing, when parting, the admiral sent his own wanderer to escort him, and applied for a job by the way.

you

Scratching his head, he picked the second candidate into the private team.

Three people are three people, and it is easier to act with fewer people.

When you took two applicants to the teleportation array to the north, someone was waiting for you with arms crossed in the square with few pedestrians.

Judging by her figure, she was supposed to be a woman, wearing a magical hooded cloak that changed color at all times, and an unnatural shadow obscured her face. Iron bracers, ankle pads, and three daggers at the waist and a leather whip hidden under the cloak as the breeze blows.

Seeing you coming, the woman leaves the stone platform at the base of the gilded statue and salutes you gracefully, a formal etiquette that is different from that of the commoners and used only among the nobles.

Who is it?

"Dear Elder, I extend my sincerest greetings to you. The little girl comes from the dark street of the "Old Slave Trader", and she was and still is the second place in the second place, because I often hear the market manager praise you, and it is really a great longing. I am fortunate to meet your face today, and I am fortunate to have three lives. I'm here to apply for a mid-platoon instructor, if you don't mind if the little girl is a wanted criminal. ”

Hathaway knows this person and whispers to you - after the murder of Kyle Jr., the market and the streets of the Dark have expanded rapidly, and this woman known as the "Three-Clawed Chameleon" has also emerged, a level 17 wanderer, and her strength is indeed guaranteed.

thereupon

you

Scratching his head with both hands, three level 17 wanderers entered the private team, and they had never met before. If they were stabbed in the back, they would be killed in minutes, but theoretically the three women had no connection with each other. When you're running out of troops, you happen to have three candidates in one go, and you don't have any objections to the lame argument that "the interview is to go out with me on the field".

Another day, make a teleportation gem for escape and take it with you.

Well.

After escorting Duke Doom as soon as possible and then rushing back to the guild to fight the assassins in Cloud Splitting City, you quickened your pace.

The teleportation array of the "Eagle Eye Oasis" has been completely buried by rubble, and it is not necessary for the time being, the nearby terrain is relatively desolate and there are no settlements, and it is impossible for a small village to have an official teleportation array, and you have arrived at a post-like town closest to Swane - as small as renting a horse from the center of the town to the edge of the town in no more than five minutes. It is said that this post town is usually not crowded at all, but now it is almost crowded! Temples, armies, and refugees are overcrowded and overcrowded, and if you are not a viscount, you still want to rent a horse?

The four of you gallop westward. According to the map, you can see the priests of the central temple four kilometers to the west, and you can find Swanai one more kilometer.

"Grown, we have a few tails. ”

The wanderer in Cloud Splitting City tapped behind him with his thumb, but when you look back, the barren mountains and mountains are flat and the vegetation is sparse, and you can see the post town a kilometer away at a glance, and the view is excellent, and there are no horses or pedestrians in sight.

"Just listen to the sound, they used the group stealth spell, a total of fifteen horses, not rented but military horses, the sound of hooves is very deep, and it is estimated that the horses are still wearing armor. ”

I didn't even see a bit of smoke from the horses galloping. Can this be heard? Maybe the killers sent from the East can't find Duke Doom, so they expect you to lead the way.

You also cast the 3-ring arcane "Invisible Orb" to envelop the three girls together. Group stealth is 7 rings, you can't use it...... It seems that the Eastern Realm is indeed armed with a high-level mage who is enough to perform the Soul Bending Technique, and is determined to kill him.

The four of you are huddled together and can't see each other. This spell requires a certain level of understanding, otherwise it will move away from the caster and cause it to manifest, and at first you were worried that you wouldn't be able to run far and the spell would be lifted because of the inconsistency between each other, but it didn't. Somehow, they will be able to confirm where you are.

With no trace of you, the killers behind you appear one after another and gradually drift away from your direction, and they seem to be angry from afar.

A set?

No, not long after you were invisible, more than a dozen people rushed down from the hillside on the right and roared something, and more than a dozen people rushed out of the town on horseback, and three groups of killers were seen so far.

The route was supposed to have the location of the priest of the central temple, but there was only a small barren mountain with no grass and no one at all. You keep looking down at the map, wondering if you've made a mistake, or maybe the pastors haven't arrived yet?

"There it is. ”

The wanderer of the Fairy Song Bay pointed to the place where there was nothing at the foot of the barren mountain, and continued: "If you look closely, there are round objects that unnaturally distort the light, magic props or spells that cause blindness, there should be a cave in which the priests are hiding. One of them was of a high rank. ”

belch

You squint at the barren mountain, not seeing any unnatural light distortions, or feeling any breath. Can this thing be seen?

Suddenly, you realize that even if you are invisible, you will still leave horseshoe prints, and even though the ground around you is hard, you can still track them if you dismount and look closely. But when you look back, you find that there's no trace behind you at all, no.

At some point, each of them has a branch hanging behind their buttocks, and if they gallop on the ground, they will easily sweep away the horseshoe prints and guide you to walk on the rocky ground as much as possible.

Can this thing be easily eliminated?

"If you're worried about the marks, the little woman has removed them for you. Looking at the map, we should be almost there, so let's walk instead, okay?" suggested the wanderer of the ancient city.

As the commission indicates, you hide your horse behind a rock and stay invisible to climb a barren mountain. Probably halfway up the mountain, a scout in black leather armor was seen, with the coat of arms of the Duke of Doom on his chest.

"Who! show up!" the scout somehow did not, and suddenly noticed that someone was in your direction, and immediately drew his bow and took aim. Aim very accurately at your head in the invisible.

"It's the president of the Adventurer's Guild who has come in person, entrusted by His Majesty. "The Wanderer of the Ancient City stepped out of the sphere and saluted the scout gracefully," I would like to ask the Acting Elder and the Three-Clawed Chameleon to convey their sincere greetings to Lord Doom. ”

The scout was shocked and almost missed the arrow, and said "Please follow me" three times in a row, and then turned to lead the way.

After a few seconds, he turned around and said, "Uh? you can't all come in. Elder and a companion, please hurry. ”

After all, the Duke was wounded, and a large number of people wanted his life, so it was reasonable to be so cautious. Who are you going to take to meet Swanai?

A, of Cloud Splitting City

B, of the Bay of Fairy Song

C, of the ancient city
