"But it must be bothering for Thea, right?" Anvena blinked her eyes and cleared the siege for Thea.

"What do you think of Anvina?" Carré didn't know why, and lost his temper in front of Anvina.

"I think...... These people are sneaky and don't know what bad things they're doing. We secretly followed them, what the hell did they want to do, okay? Anvena said with a look of uncontrollable excitement.

"yes, okay." Carré thought for a moment and felt that even if he was exposed, at least it would be no problem to protect Avena with his ability, so he agreed.

Anvina winked at Sia happily. Thea smiled back gratefully.

"Thea, are you here for something?" Anvina took advantage of Carré's attention to turn to the syndicate bandits who walked by from time to time, and lowered her voice to ask Xia secretly.

"This ......" Xia was a little embarrassed. It's not that she doesn't want to tell Anvina, but ...... In fact, she didn't know why she had come to this place impulsively, Steinbrad. During her lifetime and after her death, the only thing she remembered was the insignificant place of death on the identification card that had first become a forsaken person. After confirming that the manner of his death was nothing more than a forgery, perhaps the name of the place was just another fabrication. However, I don't know why, Xia just has a gut impulse to come here and see for herself, what kind of connection does a small town really have with her, or is it just her heart.

But...... For such an unreasonable reason, how could she say it to Anvina, who was full of anticipation. Xia hesitated to think of a plausible excuse.

"Things before I was born...... My memory is already a little blurry. It's just because the register says that I died here, so I really want to come," the syndicate bandits who walked by from time to time, and she added apologetically, "Sorry, Anvina." I didn't expect such dangerous bandits to exist here now. If it really doesn't work, let's go back first. I don't want you to put you in danger. ”

Thea's last words made Carré, who was silently pricking up his ears on the side, look slightly better.

"What are you talking about, Thea." Anvena comforted her softly. "It's all here, you can't run in vain. It's not your fault that they're here. Besides. I'm curious what these people are doing here. "Why don't we catch someone and ask?" Carré suggested with a chuckle.

"But......" Anvina glanced at the passing bandits, and asked a little worriedly, "How long have they not been left alone?" As soon as we fight them, aren't we exposed? ”

Xia observed and said confidently, "If it's to control a person, I can guarantee that I won't miss." ”

"Oh." Carré made a gesture of please, and carefully turned sideways, allowing Thea to come to the front.

Waited a few more minutes. When several syndicate bandits reappeared in their sight, Thea silently pinched the spell and waved her hand lightly, and the spell silently hit the last man. Almost immediately, the man stiffened and stopped moving.

"What's the matter, what's the fuss?" The companion in front of him noticed his stiffness and stopped and asked.

"I ...... I have some stomach discomfort...... You go first, and I'll come right away. ”

If his companions look closely. You will find that this bandit has a somewhat unnatural expression when he speaks, but fortunately, the bandits don't seem to be so careful. A few people made fun of him, told him to hurry up, and then turned around and walked away.

The controlled bandits looked around, and when they saw that no one was paying attention to them, they quickly walked towards the hiding place of Xia and the others.

Avena covered her mouth with excitement all this happening in front of her. Whispered to Carré, "What kind of magic is this?" That's amazing! ”

The corners of Carré's mouth twitched, but he still explained softly to Avena with a pleasant face, "This is a psychic spell - the priest's mind control. Generally speaking, though, only one person can be affected at a time, and after the priest controls them. You can't interrupt the cast, otherwise you'll be easily hit by spells. ”

"That is, after the control. What can a pastor do on his own? Anvina was a little surprised and said, "Isn't that dangerous?" ”

"Yes. So, in general, priests use this spell only if they are safe to do so. ”

"Safe?" Anvina's eyes were shining, "Does that mean that Xia believes in you very much, so she would use such a spell?" ”

Carré didn't know why, but there was a burst of irritability in Wina's sparkling eyes. If it weren't for the last bit of reason telling him to take cover, he would have almost screamed. Rao still shouted, "It has nothing to do with me. I should believe that Anvena you are. ”

"But...... I'm just a normal girl reads;. Anvena bowed her head a little dejectedly. No magic, nothing. If anything, I still need you and Sia to protect me. With me, what safety can there be......"

Wina's frustration, Carré secretly resented her clumsy tongue. He unconsciously pressed Anvina's shoulders with both hands. "No, Anvina. You're a very reassuring girl. I don't know why I'm with you, even me...... There will be a very reassuring feeling. ”

Anvena stared at Carré's serious expression, and her face slowly turned red.

"Carré, ...... you ask" Although she didn't want to disturb the two people in the back, Xia still interrupted the atmosphere that was starting to become a little strange. No way, as Carré had said, the spell that supported mind control had already consumed almost all of her energy. There's really no way for Sia to ask the controlled bandits any more.

Interrupted by Thea, Carré apparently just realized his actions and retracted his hand almost electrocutively. Turning to face the bandit who was being controlled, he took a deep breath to calm his mood and began to ask.

"Who are you? Why is it in this deserted town? ”

The controlled bandit had a hollow look in his eyes and replied mechanically, "I am a member of the great syndicate...... It was the boss who brought us here. ”

"Syndicate?" Hearing the name, Xia frowned slightly.

As the former Queen of Azeroth, Thea still has a lot of knowledge about the historical ties between nobles.

Because in the Orc War, the nobles led by the king - the upper echelons of the former Alterac kingdom - betrayed the human side. Therefore, after the war, not only was the king deposed by the alliance, but also a number of nobles were deprived of their titles and domains. The nobles, who had lost their rights and territories, were not willing to sit back and live the life of ordinary people, bent on reverting to their former luxury and supreme authority. Therefore, the so-called "syndicate" was originally formed by several large nobles who united with their own private soldiers.

However, the syndicate itself, like the aristocracy, was not producing, so that the income of the organization was almost always dependent on the constant robbery of commoners and passing merchants. And as the syndicate grew famous, more and more ordinary bandits and bandits joined the group.

However, for the Alterac Kingdom, which made a living by providing roads, the continuous expansion of the scale of the syndicate organization made the passing merchants have to take a detour, making the already difficult to make a living of the Alterac civilians even more unbearable, and finally had to move to other places. This vicious circle is like a snowball. It can be said that the final disintegration of the kingdom of Alterac is an unshirkable responsibility for the syndicate organization.

But Carré apparently didn't know or care about any of this.

"And how many people do you have on your heads? What are you doing here? ”

"There are about 100 people in total...... What to do? "The eyes of the controlled bandits began to wander, as if they were trying to remember." I don't know, but my boss said his boss told him there was a big baby here. Once we got it, we could beat the Ravenhold gang to the ground. Then the whole of Alterac will be ours, and we won't have to hide anymore! ”

"Baby?" Anvina interjected with some excitement, "What baby? ”

Carré glanced at Avena as if she realized that her interjection was inappropriate, and she lowered her head and stuck out her tongue. But Carré just smiled dotingly and followed Avena's words. "What baby?"

“…… Some time ago, Mr. Andrew, the most amazing shadow mage in the Order, discovered that there was a huge energy fluctuation in the Alterac Valley......"

"Energy fluctuations......" Carré's expression that had always been relaxed immediately tensed up after hearing this. He couldn't help but have a hint of eagerness in his tone. "What's going on, go on."

"The great Mr. Andrew, after complex calculations and by virtue of our intimate knowledge of the Alterac Valley, has finally come to a conclusion. The source of the volatility is here in Steinblad. ”

Carré's eyes flashed with joy. He never expected that there was nowhere to find him when he stepped on the iron shoes, and the task that he had been clueless about would actually have a clue here.

But it's not Carré's fault. For the dragons, their range search is not so detailed after all. To put it another way, if humans and ants search a certain distance in the same way, humans will definitely move faster than ants, but they are far less detailed than ants.

"Did he find out what the cause was?"

The bandit's eyes began to vibrate violently, apparently his subconscious realizing that it was a secret. Xia had to grit her teeth and increase the intensity of the spell she controlled.
