Chapter XVII

The chill of autumn still permeated the whole of Sedaon, and the golden light of dawn was clear in the woods. [Latest chapter reading.]

Beside the gurgling clear stream, Luo Lan changed into the last complete priest's robe in the space ring, and roughly washed away the wounds and blood marks left by last night. Seeing his stubble chin reflected in the clear water, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and there was a little wet coolness in the rough and rough feeling.

Looking at the reddened Chaoyang, he turned his face and said loudly: "I can let you wash up simply, but please don't play tricks." ”

The female thief lay bloodied in the shade of a dry tree on the bank of the river, her face pale, and the blood stain on her shoulders was a little more poignant. Arrogant and coquettish have removed makeup from the delicate face, leaving only calm and indifference, hearing this, she raised her head slightly, glanced at it weakly, and said with a wry smile: "I have been locked by your light prohibition, and now an ordinary person can knock me down, what else can you not rest assured." ”

Luo Lan smiled and shook his head, stretched out a finger and shook it, and said, "It's different, in the face of a high-level thief, you should be cautious at all times, avoid just in case, maybe you ...... accidentally" He stared at the female thief, made a downward chopping motion, and said: "There will be accidents." ”

The female thief looked at him with a complicated look, tilted her head to the side, and whispered, "Are you reminding yourself or warning me?"

"It's a bit of both. Luo Lan walked up to the female thief and whispered a few incantations, and the light was slightly fleeting on the latter. Loosen the "shackles of the gods" that had been imposed on her.

This magic is the simplest and most practical in the bondage technique, which can directly cut off the nerve connection between the bound person and his body, and the casting time is short, and the effect of prohibition is also very good.

The female thief tried to move her hands and feet, and slowly moved towards the river, but felt as if her body had been filled with lead, more than ten times heavier than usual. Obviously, there is definitely more than one light ban imposed on her.

She smiled wryly, this was indeed the best way to deal with thieves.

The refreshing water of the stream lifted her spirits, and a slight cold sensation hit her cheeks. The color of the blood has regained a little, and the red hair has also gained some brilliance in the warm sun.

Habitual, Luo Lan naturally stood in a hidden corner and looked at her, and he said in a deep voice: "I have a few questions for you. If you can satisfy me, I will not only help you treat your injuries, but I can also consider letting you go back. He added, "If you're not at ease." I can swear by a method as you see fit. ”

Luo Lan had carefully considered that although he could learn some things by stealing memories, it would not work very well, and he could only intercept some important memories. And many details will be lost or even ignored. So he first comforted the other party with kind words, laying the groundwork for the subsequent inquiry.

Last night and today. The positions of the two people suddenly reversed. The female thief vaguely remembered that she had said something similar. She carefully rubbed the wound on her shoulder and sighed softly. "Ask, or you won't leave me alive." She didn't care whether Luo Lan swore or not, thieves have no faith, and an oath is sometimes not as good as a simple promise.

Luo Lan thought for a moment and said, "What's your name, and what is your identity in the Council of the Dead?" he decided to start with some simple questions, and finally introduce his true question.

The female thief pulled her red hair back to the back of her neck and pulled a thin thread out of her fingernail and tied it up, a rather feminine gesture. She flicked her hair and said softly, "Niltina, a High Fellow of the Council of the Dead, an Eighth-Order Shadow Thief. ”

Luo Lan nodded at her and said, "Your companion's identity, rank." ”

Niltina pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "This time, there are a total of five members of our team, Captain Pons, High Council Priest, Dark Priest, the rank is unknown, and they may have broken through the eighth order. ”

Luo Lan frowned and said, "The level is unknown?"

Niltina looked at him directly and explained, "All of us were summoned from all over the continent by the council, and some of the members of the council had only met before, but they didn't know each other very well. ”

"That's right. Luo Lan nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"High Monk Lokimond, Soul Hunter of Rank 8, High Monk Athena, Rank 8 Necromancer, Medium Monk Losar, Rank 7 Blood Golem Master, he is the lowest level among us, but his blood summoning can summon creatures that are one level higher than him, so it should not be underestimated. Niltina uttered the names of her companions one by one, very cooperatively, seemingly without reservation.

Luo Lan was secretly frightened when he heard this, almost all of the members of the team sent by the Council of the Dead were around level eight

It wasn't something he could handle alone, and Niedina said they were terrible.

The hierarchy on the Apollo continent is divided from one to four levels called low-level, five-level to eight-level is called medium-level, and levels nine to twelve are called high-level, and there are very few super-high-level people on the continent above it.

And in terms of the level of thieves, Luo Lan is only between the fifth and sixth levels, so although he is a certain distance from Niltina's strength, he is also a middle-level thief.

Within the same rank, he could indeed defeat the latter in theory.

And above level 8 is a watershed, a real watershed between masters.

After Luo Lan asked a few more detailed questions one after another, he was surprised by Niltina's cooperation, the latter did not seem to have the slightest concealment and deception, and during the questioning, he had carefully observed Niltina's expression and demeanor, but he did not find any abnormalities and frauds.

As for Luo Lan, who specializes in camouflage, he trusts his eyesight and judgment very much.

He smiled deeply and said, "You thought you would refuse to answer." ”

Niltina smiled lightly, showing a bit of charm, and said: "The Council of the Dead is not a state or a secret organization, there is nothing that cannot be said, the meeting has regulations, once it falls into the hands of the enemy, as long as it does not involve core secrets, it can be revealed." ”

Her explanation surprised Luo Lan a little, and in Devany's description, the Council of the Dead was described as a heinous organization, and their subsequent behavior seemed to be exactly that, which seemed to be a preconceived prejudice.

"So" Luo Lan turned his breath, looked directly at the other party, and said, "What is the purpose of your coming to Sedaon this time?"

Niltina glanced at him, looked at the mountains in the distance, and said quietly, "You know, for the blood of the saints. ”

"You should know what I mean, too. Luo Lan lowered his voice and said, "I want to ask you what is the purpose of finding the blood of the saints?"

"I'm not a patriarch of the Council of the Dead, and I don't know much about their arrangements, we're just on a mission," and we'll be paid, so we don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. ”

Luo Lan nodded, in fact, he knew that Niltina should not have deceived him, because it was impossible to disclose the high-level secrets of an organization to ordinary members, maybe Pons, who was the captain, would know some, but Niltina should not know much.

He asked this question only to distract Niltina and confuse his true purpose.

Luo Lan took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, his eyes were aimed at Niltina's cheek, and he lowered his voice and said, "As a member of the Council of the Dead, do you know a thief who is about thirty years old with a slender body, black hair, and always with a little evil smile on the corner ......of his mouth?

Luo Lan suddenly stopped, because he found that Niltina's expression was a little excited, but the latter quickly calmed down, she looked at Luo Lan and said, "This is what you really want to ask, right?"

Luo Lan walked out of the hidden corner, his eyes were fixed on Niltina, and he breathed heavily, "Do you know him?"

Niltina's eyes were full of confusion and mixed emotions, even mixed with some memories and pain, and she murmured, "How can you not know, what a beautiful night it was." She let out a long sigh again, and said with a sad expression, "But I heard that he was killed by the Monks' Society. ”

"I heard?" Luo Lan's expression moved, and he took a few steps forward eagerly, and was about to ask more details, when a gray owl suddenly appeared in sight, his expression tightened, and he immediately shut up and stopped his steps.

Flosandros shouted and startled a few birds that rooked in the woods, "Dangerous fellow, haha! So you're here, you're really hard to find!"

This hateful guy suddenly appeared at this critical time, Luo Lan felt very awkward and depressed, and he said angrily: "You know, you are very annoying. ”

"Dangerous guy?" Niltina glanced at Luo Lan in surprise, smiled lightly, and said, "He said it very appropriately. ”

"Hey, this woman seems to be the female thief who appeared last night?" Florsanders looked at Niltina with disdain, and a booing sound came out of his mouth, and finally shook his head, "This woman is really ugly, far worse than the women of our elven clan. ”

Niltina's face, which had just recovered a little brightness, suddenly changed, and the "brush" in her eyes suddenly became angry, and she turned her head to Luo Lan and said, "You are right, he is really annoying!"
