Dock.

Rosen walked aimlessly along the riverside road.

He didn't deliberately slow down, let alone use magic to erase his traces, he hummed a little song as he walked, looking as if he was shopping comfortably.

After wandering the streets for about half an hour, Rosen's ears moved slightly, and he said, 'Here we are! ’

He immediately slowed down, quietly hid by a thick stone wall, crouched down, took out a musket in one hand, and took out four high-strength alloy balls from his waist bag in the other, and waited patiently.

After about ten seconds, the sound of soft footsteps stopped at the corner of the street about 20 meters away from Lawson, only a corner away from Lawson's hideout.

Although there was no sound of footsteps, at this distance, Rosen could clearly hear the other party's breathing and heartbeat.

'The breath and heartbeat were the same as those of ordinary people, but there was a strange pungent smell in the air, and it was the Tree Demon Golem who came. ’

If it is in the crowd, this kind of puppet will be very difficult to distinguish, but unfortunately, the current Nilogaard is completely a city of death, and in the face of Lawson, who has super perception, the tree demon puppet has nowhere to hide.

To be on the safe side, Lawson remained motionless in the corner, patiently waiting for the other party to take the initiative to enter his attack range.

After waiting like this for about a minute, the tree golem remained motionless on the other side of the wall, neither attacking nor leaving.

Rosen was a little uneasy: 'Is this guy waiting for me to sneak attack?' Or is it not acting alone, and there are also accomplices cooperating...... No, there's more than one monster in the city, and the more time passes, the worse it will be for me! Besides, this thing is a puppet of the Dryad, and if it takes a long time, I will be besieged, and if the Tree Demon of Destruction is attracted to it, I may not be its opponent. ’

Thinking like this, Rosen immediately took action.

He rolled and burst out of hiding. Bursting out of the corner, he saw the Tree Demon Golem.

The creature crouched behind an overturned barrel on the side of the street, he was quite strong, wearing the sackcloth tunic that ordinary sailors usually wear, and the skin of his exposed arms was blue and black, with a metallic sheen that other monsters did not have.

Upon hearing the movement, he instantly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that radiated a blinding green light. His eyes are also much brighter than those of other monsters, and his face is a little more expressive than that of other monsters of the same kind, no longer as stiff as a puppet.

The moment he saw Rosen, the muscles of his cheeks twitched slightly, and he seemed to be a little surprised.

Rosen 'chuckled' in his heart, knowing that he was likely to encounter a hard stubble this time!

However, this is not the first time he has encountered this kind of monster, and it is not the first time he has encountered a strong person, so naturally he will not be frightened by his opponent. Focused, he raised his musket, activated his magic to create a vacuum around the barrel, then pulled the trigger and slammed it at his opponent's body.

'Poof~' There was an extremely subtle sound, and the armor-piercing bullet rushed towards the target.

At the same time as Lawson fired, the Tree Demon Puppet's body was slightly sideways, and with the smallest range of movement, it dodged the bullet by a fraction of a millimeter.

The corners of Lawson's eyes twitched, and in his heart, he suddenly raised the opponent's combat power to a similar height as the dragon warrior Olamsen.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 10 meters, and at this distance, Orammsen was able to approach Lawson at a speed close to teleportation, almost exceeding Lawson's reaction limit.

Lawson immediately assumed that this monster possessed similar speed and explosiveness to Orlamson!

Under this premise, the most important thing he should do now is to distance the two sides, instead of continuing to attack.

These thoughts flashed through Lawson's mind like lightning, and he immediately pulled out 20 kilograms of TNT-equivalent energy from the energy pool and violently exploded in front of his body.

"Boom~~~"

A dull explosion appeared, and even at the critical moment, Lawson still tried his best to control the movement of the energy burst.

In the moment of the energy explosion, a brilliant jet-like aurora appeared in the air in front of him, and his whole body was pushed backwards by the expanding air, and the speed was very fast, like a cannonball.

At the moment when Rosen flew back, he saw a pair of eyes glowing with a faint green light appear in the airflow, only half a meter away from his body, and the other party had already stretched out his hand, and the steel-gray sharp nails on his hand were almost enough to reach the corner of Rosen's clothes!

The speed of this monster is indeed comparable to that of Aulamson, but unfortunately, he is now in the midst of a raging airflow, and his charging momentum has been exhausted, and this last distance of less than a centimeter has become an insurmountable moat.

Under the huge thrust of the raging airflow, the monster's body moved away from Lawson uncontrollably, and Lawson quickly retreated, and the distance between the two sides quickly widened!

At this moment, Lawson, who was in the air, began to fight back.

He threw his left hand up slightly, and four alloy balls appeared in the air, and energy from the energy pool gushed out, each of which was allocated 10 kilograms of TNT equivalent condensed energy.

In an instant, the metal ball accelerated to an incredible degree, flying towards the limbs of the tree golem at a speed beyond the limit of its life's reaction.

Even better, the monster is in the midst of a raging airflow, and its movements are unbalanced, and it is unable to dodge effectively.

"Puff puff~~"

The Tree Demon Golem's hands and feet immediately sputtered with large balls of black blood, and under the impact of the ultra-high-speed alloy ball, his hands and feet were all spared, and they were smashed by the alloy ball!

"Puff~~"

The Dryad golem landed on the ground. It struggled to get up, but without the support of his hands and feet, he could only roll around meaninglessly on the ground. Although the scrolling speed is not slow, it is several orders of magnitude lower than before.

Rosen exhaled: "It's done!" ”

He immediately rushed forward, and the energy in the energy pool poured out at the same time, pushing the air, forming a high-pressure air current, pressing the body of the Tree Demon Golem tightly to the ground.

"Hiss~~hiss~~~~"

The Dryad Golem's body couldn't move, and he hissed like a snake in his throat, and the sound was very sharp and penetrating.

Rosen was shocked: 'I'm afraid this guy is reporting to his companions!' ’

He immediately used his magic to create a vacuum around the Tree Demon Golem's mouth.

The screaming suddenly disappeared.

After doing all this, Lawson took out the rope, controlled it with magic power, and wrapped it around the body of the tree demon puppet, until he wrapped the other party into a big rice dumpling before stopping.

At this point, he withdrew the high-pressure air current, and the tree demon puppet fell to the ground, not moving.

"Very good!"

Lawson didn't dare to make any stops, and as soon as the magic moved, the body of the tree demon puppet levitated, floated beside Lawson, and quickly left the battle scene with him.

Along the way, Rosen was very cautious, he used magic to clear all traces along the way, footprints, smells, and even the temperature of the air, he also used magic to carefully smooth out to make sure that there was no information to trace.

In the blink of an eye, Rosen disappeared from the scene of the conflict.

Less than half a minute after he left, four tree golems rushed in from different directions.

Naturally, they pounced.

On the other side, Rosen ran wild with his captives.

After a while, he arrived at the edge of the dock, he looked left and right, and after making sure that it was safe, he walked to an alley next to the dock, and after walking for dozens of meters, a staircase appeared, and under the staircase was a stone spiral staircase. Without hesitation, Rosen walked in and went all the way down to the sewers.

In the beginning, he and Lilith strayed into the underground city, and it was here that they escaped. Now, Rosen has gone the opposite way and entered the sewers from here.

At the end of this sewer is the Valley of Doom in the Dark City, where there are monsters and no monsters will come out of the Dark City. At most, there are some low-level monsters like water ghosts and ghouls, and as long as they are cleaned up, I can have a safe place to experiment. ’

After entering the sewers, Lawson made his way inside.

As he walked, he threw small pebbles and dry twigs on the ground, which were inconspicuous but could alarm Lawson if a stranger entered the sewer.

After walking deeper into the sewers for about ten minutes, Lawson once again returned to the deepest underground hall.

At the beginning, he had escaped the dark city by burrowing through the cracks in the walls of the inner hall.

'Luckily, there's not a single monster here. ’

Rosen was so happy that he threw the captured Tree Demon golem on the ground, and then lit a torch with his magic power, and by the light of the torch, he began to carefully examine the situation in this hall.

In the hall, the body of the tall dead guard was still lying quietly on the ground, and its position had not moved, but the corpses of the wizard hunters were all gone, and many messy footprints could be seen on the ground, and the footprints were strangely shaped, all of them were non-human creatures, including ghouls and water ghosts. Occasionally, highly decomposed fragments of human tissue can be seen in the corners.

These marks made Rosen's heart move slightly: "There are many monsters attracted by blood, they have eaten all the corpses, not even the monsters, but only the dead guard is intact...... These monsters seem to be very afraid of the Death Guard. Why? Aren't they all residents of the Darkcity? ’

Rosen couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have the heart to pursue it right now.

After inspecting the hall and making sure it was safe, Lawson found a place away from the corpse of the Dead Guard and placed the Tree Demon Golem, and then he took out his dagger and began the experiment.

Only one puppet was caught, and there was no control group for the time being...... Don't worry about this for now, after this toss, I'll find a way to catch one in. ’

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

While Lawson was tossing the Dryad golem in the underground hall, one of the Dryad golems ran wildly to the residential area north of the docklands.

Once in the residential area, the puppet rushed straight into a huge stone building with a blue roof, which, judging by the sign at the entrance of the building, was originally the town hall of Nilogaard.

Once in the hall, the puppet stopped, whispering at the first mass of black rattan that wriggled like snakes in the hall, and at the same time danced with its hands and looked very strange.

Half a minute later, some of the black rattans gathered into human form, none other than Donassis, the Tree Demon.

He glanced at the puppets below the hall and shouted, "Nirod! Nirod! ”

A few minutes later, a black shadow flew into the hall like lightning, and when it reached the middle of the hall, the black shadow stopped, and the black fog around his body slowly dissipated, revealing a man with a pale face, who was none other than the Phantom Assassin Nirod.

"Lord Donassis, what are you looking for me?" Nirod asked respectfully.

Donassis pointed to the puppet and said, "He just told me that someone had defeated my handpicked elite Tree Slaves in the docklands to the south. I'm curious about who else in the city would have such power. ”

Nirod was stunned when he heard this: "The docklands to the south....... Lord Donassis, if it happened to the west of the city, it should have been the mage named Lawson who did it. But if it's south...... I'll have to look into it before I can report you accurately. ”

"Then you should investigate now...... Your brain is a little better than these puppets of mine, not much better, but better than nothing...... Hmm~ Forgive me for my extra self-talk, my friend, you act now. ”

Nirod left the hall with a black line on his face, if it weren't for the fear of the other party's great power, he would definitely cut the tongue of this damned rattan monster with a dagger, if he had a tongue.
