The attacking mage retreated abruptly.

As soon as he was gone, the energy supply stopped completely, the restlessness of the earth subsided, and everything returned to quiet.

"Whew~"

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead.

Luckily, this guy quit on his own, and if I hold on a little longer, I will run out of energy, and it will be exposed. ’

This underground magic clash is silent, and the only change is the temperature of the earth.

Because there was a fire burning underground, the temperature of the ground beneath Rosen rose by several degrees. The moist soil is heated, and water vapor constantly emerges from the cracks in the soil, which condenses into clumps of white mist when it encounters the cold air of late autumn.

"It's very warm, like a hot kang head, but the fog is too eye-catching."

Rosen stood up, stepped out of the misty grass, and walked towards Mother and Daughter Mary in the distance.

Mary's eyes showed a very obvious awe, and when Rosen approached, she trembled and knelt on the ground: "Lord Rosen, you ...... You must be a messenger of the gods! ”

"Uh~"

Rosen instinctively wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, this thing was not familiar with what could be explained clearly in a few words, but it was mistaken by Mary for a messenger of the gods, and if she was wrong, it would greatly increase her trust.

This sense of trust is useful for subsequent treatment.

Thinking like this, Rosen didn't refute it, smiled, he reached out and took little Alice from Mary's hand, little Alice was woken up by the previous movement, and on her thin cheeks, a pair of big eyes looked at Rosen without blinking.

Rosen couldn't help but gently stroked little Alice's thinning hair and asked, "Alice, are you scared?" ”

Little Alice shook her head, looked up at Rosen, and said in a childish voice: "Brother gives Alice good food, Alice is not afraid." ”

Rosen's heart warmed, and he said seriously: "Alice, my brother promises that he will definitely cure your illness." ”

Little Alice looked longing: "Okay, okay, when the illness is cured, I can go to catch butterflies with Niuniu next door." ”

Rosen nodded slightly, feeling more sympathetic in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he turned to Mary and said, "Count the time, and in a little while, Anne should be back." ”

Mary hesitated, and said cautiously, "I've heard that mutants are all ...... It's unreliable. Shouting that they catch monsters, they have to give a lot of money. They all love money and ...... for it Only...... You can do anything. ”

The implication is that Anne is afraid that she will take the money and run away.

Rosen was unhappy when he heard this, and said lightly: "Mary, you don't know Anne, don't judge indiscriminately. ”

Mary immediately shut her mouth.

For the rest of the day, the three of them waited in silence in the grass.

After about half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance in the dirt, and after about a few minutes, a black wagon turned out of the far bend.

In the front seat, Anne wore a new steel-scale leather armor with an extra brass hair ornament on her head, and her long thick black hair was neatly combed back her head.

Perhaps because of the rush of time, the leather armor was a little tight, but it accentuated Anne's good figure more and more.

At this time, Anne looked heroic, vigorous and feminine, and under the sunlight, the steel scales and brass headdress on the leather armor shone brightly, looking from a distance, as if she were a goddess of war.

Rosen was stunned and stunned for a few seconds before he stood up and waved at Anne.

She kept looking left and right, and as soon as Lawson appeared, she saw it, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her face, the female god of war one moment turned into a bright girl the next moment.

Lawson was fascinated again.

When the carriage approached, Anne controlled the carriage to turn around on the dirt road, then jumped off the front of the carriage, opened the side door of the rear canopy, and waved at Lawson: "Get on the car!" ”

Rosen walked over with little Alice in his arms, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the carriage, he smelled a thick fishy smell coming to his face, he couldn't help but take a step back and wondered: "What kind of smell is this?" ”

Anne spread her hands: "I collected some stinky pickled fish at the Sunderland docks, and used this to mask the smell of Miss Mary, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the town guards." ”

When Rosen heard this, he immediately felt that Anne was thoughtful, and praised it from the bottom of his heart: "What a good idea." ”

After Rosen carried little Alice into the carriage, Mary climbed into the carriage as well.

Anne by the door stretched out her hand and handed over a small porcelain bottle: "Here, green crystal paste to stop bleeding, for Sister Mary." ”

"Okay."

Rosen took the green crystal paste into the canopy, ripped off the cotton cloth from the wound on Mary's leg, activated the alchemical power to disinfect the wound, smeared the medicine, and disinfected the cotton cloth before bandaging it again.

When he had done all this, Rosen looked up and saw that Miss Mary was crying again.

"Your kindness, my lord......"

"Uh~ it's nothing."

Rosen was really not good at dealing with such a scene, so he simply jumped out of the canopy and sat side by side with Anne in the front seat of the carriage.

"It's not early, let's go."

"Okay." Anne whipped her horse, and the carriage started slowly.

When the horse was steady, she turned her head behind her and said, "Mary, there are two hooded linen cloaks in the canopy, and you and Alice are both wearing them." By the way, I also bought a bag of meatloaf with water next to it, so I can eat it when I'm hungry. ”

"Okay." Mary replied vaguely, she was obviously hungry too, and when she saw that there was plenty of food, she devoured it.

Lawson was also a little hungry, he saw that there was also a bag hanging on the front of the car, and when he opened it, he immediately filled a lot of meatloaf, and there was a water bag hanging next to it, he was not polite, he took it out and ate it.

Because of the frequent use of alchemy, and the fact that he is still growing his body, he is particularly hungry easily, has an excellent appetite, and can eat anything with relish.

After eating a large meatloaf and taking another sip of water, Lawson rested on the back of the carriage contentedly for a while, and then he said to Anne, "We were attacked by a magician just now. ”

"What?" Anne was taken aback, and immediately turned her head to look at Rosen carefully, and after making sure that he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What is the situation?" ”

Rosen shook his head: "I don't know. I only sensed his power, but I didn't see anyone. In terms of strength, it is very strong, a lot stronger than me, but the power control is quite poor. I reckon that he was most likely hiding in the distance and using some means to increase his strength. Fortunately, I still have some means, and I caught his attack in time, otherwise, we might have been blown up by a fire magic. ”

In the game, he has dealt with magicians a lot, and he still has a good understanding of magicians' methods. In retrospect, Lawson felt that the magician had probably used a magic array, otherwise the attack distance would not have been so far, and the power control would not have been so bad.

Anne frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be that Dias from Caopo Village did it?" ”

Rosen nodded: "It's very likely, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't be sure." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Anne's hand rested on the hilt of the newly purchased fish-scale steel sword: "I have long felt that there is something wrong with this Dias, and he really has a problem." You're waiting for me here, I'm going to get him right now!" ”

Rosen hurriedly stopped: "Don't be impulsive! ”

"He's already done it to you, what are we waiting for?" Anne insisted on catching the magician.

Rosen still shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to do it, but because I'm not sure." Annie, you should know that when well prepared, magicians are the most dangerous presence in the world. You never know what he's going to do against you. ”

Wisdom is the greatest weapon of the mage, and the deadliest force in the world, and its only drawback may be that it takes time to react, and it is easy to be taken advantage of in close combat. If this shortcoming is compensated, then it will be invulnerable.

Anne went straight to the magician's house to catch someone, where there must have been countless magic traps waiting for her. Mutant Stalkers are physically powerful, but there are countless magical traps in this world that can ignore the strength of the flesh.

Because of this, magicians are in awe of each other, even if Rosen defeats his opponent, he does not dare to take it lightly.

Anne was convinced, she frowned, "So what to do?" You can't just get beaten and not fight back, right? ”

Rosen had already thought about it: "Don't worry, wait and see what happens, since this person has come once, he will definitely come a second time." We will now rush to the town of Sunderland, which is the domain of Baron Drake, guarded by guards, and he will not dare to mess around. When the time comes, I will find a way to cure Mother Mary and her daughter, and at the same time, I will also prepare some means to deal with the attack of the magician. ”

"Okay then." Anne could only agree: "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Help me collect some moldy fruit in the town. It must be the kind of long-haired one, the more the better. By the way, I still need a set of basic alchemy equipment, I don't know if I can buy it in the town? ”

"Basic alchemy equipment isn't much of a problem, and there are glass shops, blacksmiths, and specialized boilermakers in Sunderland Town. As long as there are drawings, we can find the shopkeeper to customize a set....... But moldy fruit? What's the use of that? ”

Rosen sold a pass: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

"Don't say it~" Anne raised her arm and slapped Lawson gently.

The carriage drove forward 'grunt~' for about an hour, and the road began to bustle with pedestrians from time to time. As the carriage circled a grove, the front suddenly opened up, revealing a riverside slope with a wide view. The slope is surrounded by a large river that is at least a few tens of meters wide, and the small town of Sunderland is built on the slope.

The town is not large, about 1 mile in radius, and has a population of about 2,000 people. The outer ring of the town is surrounded by a defensive wall made of pointed logs, with entrances to the north, south, and north. The river in the east is the narrowest, only five or six meters wide, and in order to facilitate passage, a wooden suspension bridge was built on the river, and the other openings were quite wide, so only a small dock was built for boats.

Such terrain is a natural fortress, whether it is monsters or people, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

For the average person in the vicinity, Sunderland Town is the safest place, and if you can settle in Sunderland Town in your lifetime, it will be the greatest happiness in the world.

In the game, Lawson also often comes to the town of Sunderland, because this place is the most prosperous place within a radius of 50 kilometers, it is the trade center of this area, and there is an episode in the town every 10 days, and that day is called market day.

At that time, farmers from the surrounding villages will bring surplus produce to Sunderland Town to trade, the town will be very lively, the main street can reach the crowd of people, and the mayor of the town, Baron Draco, will send his guards to maintain order in the market.

But today is obviously not a market day, from a distance, you can see people walking by on the streets, not deserted, but not lively.

Soon, the carriage drove to the entrance of the east gate of the town, and there were two guards standing on both sides of the entrance.

One of the guards was a bearded middle-aged man, he looked at the carriage, stretched out his hand and fanned his nose, frowned and asked, "What is in the carriage, why does it stink so much?" ”

Although she had been prepared, Anne was still a little weak-hearted, and when she was asked like this, she was suddenly a little nervous, hesitated for half a second, and said, "Oh, I received some stinky pickled fish at the nearby dock, and the taste is indeed a little bigger." ”

The bearded fox looked at Anne suspiciously, and then turned his head to look at the canopy: "Hmph~ pickled fish?" Instead of hunting monsters, the stalker buys a cart of pickled fish? Whoever believes that whoever is stupid, there must be a ghost in the carriage! Open the door, I want to check! ”

With that, he strode towards the side door of the carriage, reaching out to pull the door.
