Chapter 51: Merchants are the best cover
Merchants are always the best cover, and after the emergence of the social division of labor, commercial behavior has become an extremely common and indispensable human activity. Because it is universal and indispensable, they can naturally integrate into the local life, and look harmless to humans and animals.
The mission and the caravan formed two tentacles that continued to explore the Northland, one light and one dark. Wang Du only needs to insert a few inconspicuous people into the caravan to secretly obtain a lot of valuable information. A large caravan, with a few more guards, or a few fewer guards, as long as you don't show your feet during the exploration, it will be difficult to attract the attention of others. Bran believed that there would still be such a presence in the entire combined caravan, and that today's events could not be kept secret. This kind of thing can't be avoided at all, as long as this link is opened, then this kind of thing will inevitably happen.
I can only blame these people for their bad luck, if it wasn't for this ability to turn itself into a mass of magic form that approached the mountain villa at that time, then it is difficult to say what the result would be.
The whole operation met with no resistance, only two people died, a big bear and a giant rat.
......
Lily grumbled, "Ran one." ”
Bran replied, "No, it's all taken." ”
"There's one missing, giant rat. ”
Bran sighed, pulled the ball of magic that had always been wrapped and dragged by magic from the ground, held it in his hand and said, "Here it is. ”
A cloud of starlight appeared in front of everyone's eyes as if wrapped in darkness, and the starlight swirled and rose and fell according to a certain rhythm, which was very beautiful and charming.
"What is this?" asked Lily.
Bran replied, "I don't know." Maybe it's the giant rat, maybe it's the organ where the giant rat casts its powers, or maybe it's the magical form of the giant rat after using its abilities. How could I possibly know what this thing was?"
Releasing his hand, Bran restrained the starlight in front of him. Now the starlight floated silently as if it had no weight. After being assimilated by his own magic, this starlight seems to have become a part of his own magic, following his own will, but what's the use of this thing?
......
Bran sat on his horse and didn't get involved in the rest. He knew the rest of the matter, and it was up to his father and his knights to take over. Now that the two brothers were searching, Bran was just a quiet spectator. And that Hawkeye, he hopes that after being cleaned up, he can give him a waste to use.
Looking at his sister who was watching the excitement by his side, Bran said, "If I were you, I would immediately dispose of that corpse, which is a wizard with similar abilities to you." ”
Bran then followed his sister and walked towards the corpse.
Bran shrouded his perception over the corpse and lost his life, and the biological interference that had been holding Bran back dissipated. Now Bran can easily permeate every part of this corpse. The magic on the corpse still kept running instinctively, but it was constantly weakening, and the magic seemed to have life, revealing a sense of unwillingness, anxiety and panic in Bran's perception.
When Lily's hand touched the corpse, Bran could clearly feel that the remaining magic was flowing down Lily's hand and into Lily's body, before disappearing from his perception due to interference.
Lily felt the situation too, and although he couldn't radiate, penetrate, touch, and sense his magic like Bran did, he had a very clear understanding of the magic that had been injected into him. It's like a ball of cold water flowing into the stomach and then disappearing. In her surprise, she turned her gaze to her brother, who also saw surprise.
......
When the knights of the castle arrived, everyone except Bran's two brothers were driven away, and the two brothers and sisters returned to the villa together.
"What's that going on?" asked Lily.
"It shouldn't be a bad thing, you two have similar abilities, and after his death you robbed him of his share of power. Or it can't be said to be plunder, but that force is unwilling to die and merges with you. ”
"Can anyone plunder, or can anyone who was there be chosen at the time?"
Probably not, Bran pointed to the starlight that was still bound in front of him. Each of us seems to be a different container and can only receive similar ones. Bran spread his hands, and then said: "I also guess through the comparison between you and me, who knows? ”
Looking at his sister Bran, who was eager to try, he persuaded: "Actually, you don't have to rush to pursue strength now, the physical fitness of our Northland people is far superior to those outsiders. After passing the trial, the strength is not comparable to those outsiders. Even today's slain power wizard will not surpass us in physical fitness. ”
"Snort...... , then you let Dani kill him first. ”
"Just to be safe and be careful. ”
......
The day after handing over the Loki caravan, Irene, who was about to inquire about the news, ran to the villa with an excited face and began to ask questions. Bran was too lazy to take care of the little girl with a straight intestine, ready to close her eyes and recuperate. Then Zoya also came to the villa and gave Erin a vivid lesson.
Zoya asked with a concerned face, "I heard that Dani took you to surrender the Loki caravan yesterday?"
"Hmm. ”
"How dangerous, are you hurt?" looked like he wanted to examine it carefully.
"No, I just sat on the horse and watched the excitement, and I didn't even let the horse go. Bran sighed helplessly.
"Sister Dani has killed a lot of people again, right?" asked Zoya with a look of curiosity and fear.
"No, I killed one. A man hiding in a tent trying to sneak up on us. ”
"Wow! It's so powerful, you can be found hiding in a tent. Zoya looked admiring, and then asked, "The Loki caravan has done something bad again?"
"Well, a few wizards from their caravan attacked the villa and cleaned it up. Bran coped nonchalantly.
"Wizards, you are so powerful, even wizards can easily get rid of them. I heard that a wizard had been caught in the villa the night before. Little stars began to appear in Zoya's eyes.
"Well, it's not caught, it's just hanging on the wall over there. ”
"Wow, show us ......"
Looking at Erin, who was rolling her eyes on the side, Bran smiled and patted Zoya's head, and sighed in her heart, what a good little girl, why is it crooked......
......
Bran, Erin, and Zoya stood in front of the mural. A vague, struggling figure caught the eyes of the two little girls. It was only then that Erin understood why her two dragon knights were scared away. She felt a chill all over her now, even though it was only a vague figure, and she felt the sound of crying coming from the bottom of her heart. It was a sorcerer, struggling to the end hopelessly, leaving the last emotional imprint, but this emotion was too pure, too extreme, too intense, and even had an impact on reality - despair.
"Go back, this is not the place for you. ”
Bran's words pulled the two little girls out of their state of horror, and they were silent and obediently followed Bran away.
"Why bother? I have to look at this kind of thing. ”
In the face of Bran's words, the two little girls remained silent. Bran took the hands of the two little girls, slowly feeling their hands clenching. Bran had some heartache, which was frightening. Alas, if I had known that this would happen, I wouldn't have scared them......
