Volume 8 The Rise of the Dead! Chapter 18: Reactions

The movement of the Monks Society was very large, and the crusade against the Black Dragon eventually attracted more and more attention, not only the feudal lords on the coast of the Endless Sea, but even some mainland powers also sent spies under their command, and for a while, the frequency of spies and thieves was unprecedented in the southern seas. 【Full text reading.】(Tripto)

Even a few strong men of the Mage Guild and the Knight Alliance were interested in slaughtering the Black Dragon, after all, the title of Dragon Slayer was also a great honor.

In addition to the dragon clan living on Dragon Island, those who are outliers hide in the wilderness far away from the gathering place of humans, it is not easy to find them, and now there is such a good opportunity that many people do not want to miss.

Of course, there are also many large mercenary groups and thieves with a keen sense of smell who have discovered the huge benefits in this, everyone knows that the dragon clan is a race that likes to collect treasures and gold, and this black dragon has been entrenched in the endless sea for at least a hundred years, if it does not have a collection of treasures, it is really unreasonable, in everyone's hearts, the black dragon must rely on violence to snatch some treasures of the human world, even if it is not like that, then petty theft is always there, so they firmly believe that since it is something that belongs to the human world, then it is natural for him to take back these ownerless things。

How motivating this high-sounding excuse is, it has many rejoicing.

It is not only the armed forces and violent groups that are ready to move, but the business alliances on the mainland have even aimed their evil eyes at them, and weapons, armor, vehicles, livestock, cloth, leather, and grain are being mobilized to the south one after another, and such a big move has even caused the prices of some countries in the hinterland of the mainland to begin to rise. This series of chain reactions has led to a surge of broken aristocrats in some continental countries, and for them, this may be an opportunity to get rich overnight.

The bandits are another view. They believe that opportunities will never wait for them, but that they need to take the initiative to find them. They flocked to this area that was a fat cake in their eyes, like a magic fly that smelled blood.

In Sedaon, Luo Lan is also preparing to set off, once winter comes, it will be difficult for the convoy to travel on the highland roads blocked by ice and snow. Because he wasn't going to go alone this time, except for Xue Lin, Sam, and Shalu who stayed behind, he was going to bring all the undead acolytes, in addition. Athena, Stik, Lemmon, and Atosimad were among them, and that was pretty much his current roster, and of course, he was convinced that he could get more out of this dragon slayer.

Daphne would lead the Priests' Guard with him, and as a member of the Monks, Florsanders was excited to decide to escape the harsh winter in the waters of the Southern Continent. For this. Luo Lan felt that it was necessary for him to disguise himself, because this was vulgar. The guy who looks like an orc more than an elf is a superman with intuition, and he can't tell when his heart will skip a beat.

"Open!"

Luo Lan pointed to the ten large wooden boxes neatly placed under the basement.

He was flanked by eight undead, including Sempuk, while Lemon stood respectfully, and Adozemad apathetically waited at the latter's side, though he still had memories of his own. But the invisible soul contract made him have to obey Luo Lan's orders.

The undead warrior named "The Boxer" stepped up, looked at it for a moment, and grabbed the edge of the wooden box and pulled it out. The two seals were suddenly removed, revealing the black metal box inside, and he pulled the metal ring buckle to pull the side panel of the metal box open, and the clear magic pattern array was suddenly revealed.

Half of these ten sets of magic armor were purchased by Belier, and the other half was compensation for the lord who felt that he had not fulfilled the promise of Luo Lan's position as a pastor, so it was a good deal.

After wearing the magic armor, you can hide the aura of the undead to the greatest extent. (ReachNet)

At the same time, in view of the different characteristics of these undead, Luo Lan also ordered a large number of weapons.

For example, the weapon of the "Boxer" is a hideous fist glove, and the sharp spikes and locks on the knuckles also have a pulling effect, and the effect of the blow is even more terrifying, while Sempuck and several other swordsmen still use the original long sword, and each is equipped with short swords, kite-shaped shields, maces, flying blades, and other weapons. Luo Lan had to make such thorough preparations, because he knew that this operation would be unusual.

Naturally, no one would know about his actions in the dark room of the lord's mansion, but the series of tedious matters of preparing vehicles and arranging personnel naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of those who were interested.

In the thieves' guild in Sedaon, Colles took out his white handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks, his fingers trembling, and slowly opened the parchment paper in his hand, as if it were a judgment book that would decide his fate and fate.

His eyes swept hurriedly, skipping the process of the words and moving directly to

Sure enough, just by glancing at it, his face turned pale, and he said with a trembling mouth: Yes. ”

Now that he has been called here, this result has long been within his expectations, but he still has that little bit of luck in his heart, hoping to see a different ending, but now it seems that he has to accept this cruel reality.

The man in black in front of him was wearing the guild's skull badge, and at first glance it was the intelligence officer in charge of liaison with the Thieves' Guild, and he was talking to Clariant in a cold and emotionless tone, and it was this unpredictable tone that made the latter deeply feel that his fate was coming to an end.

"Is there anything else you can explain, Officer Colles?" said the black-clad intelligence officer coldly.

"I, I'm ......" Colles moved his mouth, and finally let out a long sigh and hung his head, "No." "According to the rules of the Thieves' Guild, if an insider requests an assassination mission, he must provide enough information and clues, and if something goes wrong with the life of a thief assassin, he will also be held responsible. But who would have thought that a ninth-order thief would disappear so silently?

"Because your information and clues are inaccurate, the Thieves' Guild has lost contact with the members of Adozemad three days ago. The black-clothed man was expressionless, he was playing with a dagger that flashed with cold light in his hand, and said coldly: "The loss of an excellent ninth-order thief is a big loss for the Thieves Guild. ”

"Yes, it's my fault. "The title of Senator sounds like a harsh term to Corles now, because it may be the internal handling of the Thieves' Guild that awaits him in the near future.

"We have investigated in detail the reasons for your mission, and I have reason to believe that your motives are not pure, not for the good of the guild, but for personal selfishness. As the black-clad intelligence officer spoke, Colles looked desperate, and he felt that the other party's gaze was like a sharp knife, as if he could cut off his flesh bit by bit at any time.

"As a mid-level guild member, you should know exactly which rules are best for you. The black-clad intelligence officer sneered, his tone becoming more and more stern.

Colles already felt his heart groan, and he looked around in confusion, as if looking for a corner to survive.

The black-clothed intelligence officer looked at him for a moment, then he suddenly leaned forward a little and said in a low voice, "It's hard for you to make it difficult for me to do such a big thing." ”

Colles let out a numb "um" at first, but suddenly his body shook, and he couldn't help but raise his head, staring at the other party, because he keenly caught the words in it.

"Sometimes, we have to give the members who have made mistakes a chance," the man in black said with the blade of the dagger in his hand, "It depends on whether some people will grasp it." ”

Colles hesitated, in this short moment, he had struggled back and forth countless times in the depths of his heart, he gritted his teeth, bent down deeply, and said, "My lord, I am willing to ...... Loyal to you. ”

The black-clothed intelligence officer did not speak, the dagger in his hand was flipped rhythmically and flexibly, and he smiled deeply: "It seems that Sedaon really can't lack people like you. ”

These words, which were half sarcasm and half acquiescence, sounded like a lifesaver to Colles's ears. He gasped and took a step, ready to speak more loyal language.

"Alright," the black-clad intelligence officer waved his hand and said coldly, "Now I can help you deal with this matter for the time being, but you need to get rid of this priest named Rundit as soon as possible, and now that he is about to participate in the dragon slaying battle of the Monks, this is a good opportunity." ”

"Yes, my lord, I understand. Colles let out a long sigh of relief.

"Huh, you seem to have a way?" the black-clad intelligence officer raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, sir. Colles seemed to regain his composure, he narrowed his slender eyes, and said coldly: "The assassination failed twice, and the specification of this priest's assassination bounty should have reached more than three thousand gold coins, and I believe that there are many thieves in the guild who are very willing to accept this task." ”

The black-clad intelligence officer reminded him, "You seem to have forgotten that if you ask again, you might be able to attract someone's attention." ”

Colles shook his hand again and again, and said, "No, without my name, we can let the arranger pretend to be the employer, so there will be no problem." ”

"I see," the man in black laughed, then act as soon as possible, don't keep me waiting too long, I don't like that. β€œ

Colles's eyes flashed sharply, and he bowed his head and said, "This time, you will definitely not be disappointed!"
