131 Enter the enemy core
"This kind of secrecy ...... How could a little person like me know......" In the end, the answer confided by the controlled bandits disappointed the three of them.
"That'...... What do you know? Anvena asked, thinking for a moment. Tell me about something you think is important."
"On the first day we were here, Mr. Andrew personally arrested a man. It was this man who made Mr. Andrew think that his inferences were not wrong! ”
The news lifted the spirits of all three.
"That'...... What about people? Where are you now? Carré asked eagerly.
"Locked up in the basement of the old town hall. Mr. Andrew was personally interrogating. ”
Carré then asked a few more questions about the identity of the man, but, apparently, as the captive had said, he was just a pawn who couldn't even rank in the organization. Carré couldn't ask any more about the man.
"Then why are you guys always walking around in groups? How often does it take to run? ”
"The Boss tells us to be careful, after all, the closest to here is the Forsaken's base. And the assassins of the Forsaken are the most famous. And the Assassins of our old nemesis, Ravenhold Manor. In order to be afraid that there will be a chance if we go alone, so let us patrol in groups and warn if there is any movement. As for how often it runs...... We all listened to our respective leaders, and I didn't know. ”
"Forget it, Carré." Avena, whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat, pulled Lacarre's arm. "I can't ask anything more, why don't we go to the town hall he said."
Carré glared at the dazed captive with some reluctance, and had to agree to Avena's suggestion.
Thea took control of the captives again, allowing him to walk back on the road.
"I ...... How is it alone here? "The bandits, who had regained their consciousness, shuddered violently by the cold wind of Alterac." Damn it...... This is a place of ...... If you really encounter any enemy, you don't know how to die......" He didn't dare to go on. At this time, another team of syndicate bandits appeared.
"Huh. You're not the one from the previous batch...... How is it alone here? ”
"Don't mention it......" The bandit rolled his eyes and covered his stomach with his hand. I just had a stomachache. I'm worried that they're gone. Now, I'll go back to camp with you. ”
"Hey...... You're not trying to be lazy, are you? ”
"What's that...... Isn't it the same as walking the patrol route? ”
The sound of the syndicate bandits giggling faded away.
The three people hiding in the corner breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's funny." Anvena covered her mouth and laughed secretly. "He actually used the same excuse as Thea, and now he doesn't even need to lie. Thea, you really can. ”
Thea's face flushed. "Coincidence...... It's just a coincidence. ”
In fact. This was the most common excuse that Burval had told her a long time ago that the soldiers in the army were lazy. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.
"Shall we go to City Hall now, then?" Anvinaya, Ray.
"Hmm." Carré's expression was a little serious. "I have to go once."
"But...... Where's the town hall? Anvena blinked.
Anvena had never lived in a human town, and Carré had very little experience with humans before. Therefore, the two of them invariably set their eyes on Xia's body.
Xia, who was furrowed by the eager eyes of the two, tried to think about the structure of the ordinary town.
"I think it's in the center of town, the most eye-catching building." She looked around, then pointed to the guide. "If I'm not mistaken, the three-story building with the spire over there."
"Then let's go." Avena said excitedly. But he was a little frustrated, and said, "But there are so many syndicates on patrol, how can we get over?" ”
"Don't worry." Carré laughed. "I have a way. But keep up. ”
Anvena nodded excitedly and grabbed Thea's hand. Xia felt the warmth in her hand, and Weina smiled silently with a happy expression on her face.
Carré's method is actually very simple, which is the improved mage's invisibility technique. However, compared to the invisibility skills of ordinary human mages, the Blue Dragon Clan, who are arcane guardians, is obviously much more attained. Because the invisibility of human mages can only make themselves invisible at most, but Carré can still take Avena and Xia with ease.
Although it was theoretically the three of them, Carré led them far away from the syndicate patrol for safety. After all, magic only obscures their visual form. And not to let them really disappear. If you touch the other person, the other party can still notice the abnormality.
"It's really total!"
Anvina, who was no more than two meters away from them and had no notice, looked at Xia with excitement on her face, and expressed her excitement with a look on her face.
"Of course. The Blue Dragons are the guardians of the Arcane! Carré's voice rang in their heads.
"That's it!" Anvena made no secret of her admiration for the mines, which made Carré feel so much more relaxed for some reason.
With Carré's spell covering, the trio soon arrived at the location of the town hall.
"Is this it?" Anvinaya.
"You shouldn't be wrong." Syndicates standing at the entrance of the Sia Hall are on guard. There are three sentry guards on each side of the entrance that is not long. "Otherwise, there wouldn't be six guards at the door."
"So how do we get in?" Anvena and Thunder.
"Thankfully, they're on both sides. We just need to be careful, just go through the middle, everyone stay close. ”
The two women nodded, and moved cautiously next to Carré.
One step, two steps......
Just as I was about to walk through the door without a hitch;. Anvina was so excited that she didn't notice the threshold at the entrance and tripped over. The body suddenly lost its balance and fell to the side.
In the nick of time, Carré jerked Anvina's arm. By this time, Avena's long flowing hair had already grazed the face of the guard on the side.
"Ah...... Ahh The guard let out a loud sneeze. Scared everyone else.
"I said, what's wrong with you? Got a cold? Another quipped. Haven't you gotten used to the ghost weather here? ”
"Nonsense!" The guard puffed his nose. "Strange, why do I seem to smell a woman's scent?"
The other guards burst out laughing.
"This guy wants to be crazy about women! Hahahaha......"
"That's it!"
"When this is over, go back to Dunhold Castle, you can find a few ......"
The guards didn't see through their tracks, and the three of them couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. However, listening to the boring chatter of the sentinels began to develop into places that were not suitable for children. A red-faced Thea hurriedly dragged Avena into the gate and pushed Carré into the door.
Bypassing the wall of the town hall, the trio found an unmanned utility room at the end of the hallway, and flashed in.
As soon as he hid his figure, Carré, who had lifted the magic, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. "Anvina, you scared me to death."
"I'm sorry." Anvina, who knew that she had almost affected everyone, lowered her head and pointed at her finger to admit her mistake.
"Uh......" Avena froze Carré for a moment, unable to say a few more words of advice. He reached out and scratched his head with some embarrassment, and looked up at the cobwebs on the corner of his head with a dry smile. "Actually...... It's not your fault. I'm not blaming you, I mean...... This one...... That ......"
Kare, Shiaba, and Anvina, who pouted and blamed herself. She seemed to suddenly understand something, so she smiled and played a round.
"Well, we're kind of getting in, but it's not a safe place to read; It's important for us to hurry up and get down to business. ”
Chia's interruption eased Carré's embarrassment. He immediately responded. Thea was right. I should be safe. He glanced at the thick dust on and around the ground. Why don't you wait for me here? I'm going to find out by myself. ”
"Huh?" Anvena looked up, a guilty look on her face. "Am I holding you back? But I'm with Sia, what if ...... Those bandits are terrible......"
"Carré, though I will do my best to protect Avena. However, I think it's better for the three of us to act together. If something happens, it's okay to have a response. ”
Kareanvina, somewhere in her heart softened little by little. He nodded slowly. "Nahia, you take care of Anvina more. I'm scouting my way ahead. ”
However, it is very surprising that there are no syndicate members in the town hall.
"This door...... It should lead to the basement. "Shia, who is familiar with the construction of human buildings, quickly finds a way to the basement.
The door was unlocked and opened with a slight push.
The trio carefully descended the steps.
Thankfully, Carré was careful to keep his invisibility alive. Arriving at the first platform in the basement, there are two more syndicate guards. However, these two people obviously belong to the relatively high-status small leaders. Because the two of them were guarding a few plates of good dishes on the table with a big grin at this time, chatting while eating.
"How long do you think we're going to have to stay in this place?" The guard pinched a piece of meat and shoved it into his mouth.
"Who knows? As long as Master Andrew doesn't get what he wants for a day, we'll have to spend it here. Guard B took a sip of the drink in his cup and spat on the ground with some dissatisfaction. He also said that Steinbrad used to make good wine, and I didn't even have a wine star."
"You fool, this place has been deserted for a long time." Guard Armor laughed.
When Guard B heard this, he became even more angry and began to complain. (To be continued)
