Chapter 64: Decisions

"Heh, you've done a great job!" Sawyer's right hand, which held the handle of the dagger, suddenly trembled with anger, "What about the others?" What else do you know? Tell me all about it! ”

"I don't know about the rest...... I really don't know. The robber captive, who was held to his chin with a dagger by a halfling thief, subconsciously shrank his neck, fearing that Sawya's shaking dagger would accidentally pierce his throat, "You, uh...... Don't you have this Mr. Mage here? If you don't believe me, you can use magic to detect my honesty right away, and I can assure you that I'm not lying. ”

With that, he cautiously winked at Sawyer and motioned for the halfling thief leader of the Shaved Blade Adventure Group to turn his head to look at the mage leader of the Orichal.

Sawyer was not afraid of any tricks he was playing, so he looked sideways, saw that Carlos seemed to have been thinking for a while, exchanged glances with Ekarila who was not far away, and then looked at Urs and Gloriden with an inquiring gaze.

Urs and Grohledon are now the two central figures of the "Thorn Squad" in the eyes of adventurers, with Urs being the leader of the squad, and Glorydon making a comeback as his lieutenant in the adventurer's circle in Twilight City for the first time in eight years.

The Thorns Squad had few members, but all five of them were much stronger than the average adventurer, and contributed greatly to the adventurers' victory in the fierce battle in the evening. Urs's identity background is still worthy of guard and suspicion in the eyes of the three commanders, but as adventurers, they are different from indifferent and ruthless politicians, and they are still willing to let down a certain degree of vigilance to communicate with their allies who have fought side by side.

Seeing Carlos's gaze at them, Urs and Groledon reacted for a second, then read the intention in the bearded mage's eyes, and then Urs nodded to him on behalf of the team.

Carlos Loew received a response from the leader of the Thorn Squad, and made a knife gesture at Soya at a short distance in the hall.

Sawyer Boots understood, flicked his wrist to adjust the dagger to a backhand position, and used the handle of the small weapon to slam the back of the robber captive's neck, causing him to roll his eyes and faint.

The technique is said to have been learned as a child from a gangster, and when he was 14 years old, he used the neck of a slave trader to help him risk his life to steal the keys and free a cart of trafficked children. He boasted that it was his greatest achievement as an adult, and every time he got drunk, he told the people around him about it, his expression and tone of voice as proud as if he had saved the world.

"Alright, now we'll know as much as we can get!" After stunned the obnoxious robber captive, the halfling thief pronounced in his rage in a loud voice, "Those damn bastards killed four of my men and took the entire four lives that were delivered to me in front of me!" As the leader of Shaved Blade, I'm going to kill that Angdor, Bear's Eye, and avenge my regiment! ”

When the words fell, he was like a bull...... Well, a miniature version of the bull, breathing out of his nose, kicked his legs anxiously, grinding his teeth in anger, his eyes crossed like flames, and looked around, waiting for the other two adventure leaders present to give their own plans of action.

The adventurers of the Orichals and Hummingbirds also died in the evening battle. Carlos and Ekarila understood Sawyer's anger, but they were unanimously opposed to such a reckless approach, not to mention that the old village chief of the Logging Village, Gazi, was still in a coma, and the village's Warcraft crisis had not yet been resolved.

The emergency mission released by the Adventurers Guild this time feels extremely tricky. Akalila disapproves of Sawya's unscrupulous moves, and Carlos advises that everything should be done after the old village chief Gazi wakes up, after all, the hostility in the Spotted Axe Forest is not clear enough to everyone at the moment.

As for when the village chief will wake up? Maybe a high-level prophetic mage could try divination, but he, a skilled mage of the spell school, was okay with that.

Urs sat on the sidelines and watched the crowd's performance. Sawyer's anger encompasses the courage of the halfling, and his courage does not make Urs feel stupid, because courage is always commendable, and a timid goblin is still a goblin even if he occasionally gets the holy sword, and a brave knight can defeat a powerful dragon, at least with a chance of success exceeding zero in probability. A great scholar declared that the hymn of humanity is a hymn to courage, and that the human being in this sentence can naturally be replaced by a halfling.

Young people appreciate his courage. Of course, appreciating is appreciating and appreciating or not.

It is not a wise choice to rush into the Spotted Axe Forest when the enemy situation is unknown. As a person with memories of his past life, Urs felt that if Sawyer really dared to do that, the core members of the Shaving Blade Adventure Group would most likely be buried in the depths of the forest with their commendable courage, just like the old thief Gloriden's Thorn Adventure Group eight years ago, due to misinformation, almost all of them were wiped out at the hands of the shadow dragon deep in the ruins of Russ Canyon.

Sawyer's anger inadvertently resonated with Gloridon. The old thief looked at the grumpy little man in a daze, and wondered if he had been replaced by him in the Thorns Adventure Party, would this fearless halfling have left his companions and fled alone as he had done eight years ago. But if he doesn't run away, what is the probability that the fate that awaits him will be rewritten from death to miracle?

Rational evasion, or reckless confronting...... Grohledon clenched his fists lightly, shook his head and tried not to think about it, then glanced at the corner of his eye and landed on the side of the young man's face beside him.

Although the current "Thorn Squad" borrowed the name of his former adventure group, it is actually Urs's team.

What are your plans for the current situation? Will he stay away from the edge with a conservative idea? Or do you want to be like that Sawyer boots? The brown-haired old thief remained silent and looked at the young man's side face.

Urs struggled, but the key to his struggle was not where Gloleiden hesitated, but how he should tell the aboriginal adventurers who had come to the logging village with him about the game information related to Angdor and Danar Beareye.

You can't just tell people that you're a traverser, right? Well, your world is actually a game, and I was a player of this game in my last life, so I don't know a prophet, I know a lot of things that you don't know, you have to follow my advice and don't die like you're stepping on a surfboard?

How is that possible......

They weren't Thea.

And even Xia, the wolf-eared priest girl who is suspected of having the characteristics of a sixth-sense character, is only very familiar with him on the premise that she is very familiar with each other, and she very vaguely perceives the difference in him. The young man had thought about whether to find a time to reveal his biggest secret to the girl alone, but he was not ready yet, far from it.

All in all, he hates the frustration of being powerless, and even more disgusted with the "mature" behavior of not trying to save it, but pretending to be sophisticated and watching everything like a nobody.

You can't watch some brave fools kill themselves, and you can't sit back and let the enemy in front of you just sit still. The young man thought to himself.

Then again, if the memories in his mind were correct, he remembered that his previous life himself had actually played another holographic online game called "Ferdia" before he came into contact with Castaño, and the theme of the game was also "Sword and Sorcery", and in that game, there was a paladin player who knew what was wrong with the second in the world and one day ran to the server's world channel and said, "I want to be a partner in justice".

Partners in Justice...... God, are you ashamed?

It's a pity that the online game called Ferdia was later shut down, and then Castano was launched, and the similar game setting transferred a lot of emotional players from there.

Urs admits that the Paladin player's secondary two level is far more than he imagined, but he actually recognizes that ideal that is both shameful and noble.

What are your ideals? He never really thought about it. Before the crossing, he only felt that he was playing a game with a high degree of realism, standing in the camp of the good side and fighting with the bones and pork belly of the undead country of Byron Tas, tirelessly teaming up with like-minded companions to run all over the various areas of the Emerald Bay to destroy the cultists' desecration rituals, drawing a knife to help when he saw injustice, killing monsters when he encountered monsters, overturning monster bosses when encountering monster bosses, and encountering dragons that were a hundred times more powerful than third-rate monster bosses......

Well, the kind metal dragon and the neutral gem dragon can be left alone.

Evil five-colored dragons?

Gan!

What should I do? Put it first, find a chance to become stronger, and come back next time, anyway, the world at that time had a resurrection mechanism, unlike now.

After living his career as a player in his previous life in this style, Urs said that his faction tendencies seemed to be worthy of the evaluation of chaos and kindness, and at the same time, he felt that he probably still had ideals, but he couldn't express them in clumsy language, just like he preferred to follow his inner impulses rather than carefully and properly planning all of his adventures in advance.

I don't want to see acquaintances who have worked together to cut down the same group of enemies in the same battle as me die in vain under my gaze, and I can't stand the cowardice of being kicked in the ass and not daring to fight back. That's what he impulses now.

Urs wanted to convince the three adventuring party leaders in the halls of the guild branch that he was going to tell them next, and that needed a reason to prove that he wasn't a fool of his word.

A solid reason......

He thought about it for a long time, listening to the argument between Sawyer, Carlos, and Ekarila gradually escalating into a quarrel in the hall of the Guild's branch in a limited area, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his neck in annoyance, and accidentally touched the imprint on the side of his neck that made him always wary and guarded in Twilight City.

Shackles symbolizing slaves and coats of arms representing knights.

A flash of light flashed through my mind.

"Gloridon, I have an idea." It was as if a non-existent light bulb was lit above his head, and Urs's fingers touching the skin on the side of his neck slowly froze, and his newly closed eyes followed suit.

"What do you want to do?" The old thief looked at him patiently.

"Ahem—" The black-haired young man smiled confidently, then clenched his right hand into a fist from the side of his neck and put it to his mouth, pretending to clear his throat and deliberately coughing loudly twice, interrupting the dispute between the three party leaders not far away, causing them to turn their eyes to look at him in unison for a while.
