Chapter 142: The Tower of Mortvik

I'm sorry, but this chapter was made up for yesterday. I went to a foreign country and just came back.

……

The next morning, Diego wakes up to find himself faced with the helpless fact that he had to separate from the group to track down Stavon's tracks. As much as he longed to go with the priest girl, he knew the need to cut the roots, because once a necromancer hides and secretly goes against you, it can be maddening to think about.

Eventually, he reluctantly broke away from the group with Masrae, and pursued the necromancer's trail to the south. Brother Samuel and his party prepared to continue east, heading to Raven Ridge.

"Goodbye, I hope you can find that damn necromancer soon!" Rainier waved his hand and shouted, "If you move quickly, you can still catch up with our battle against Raven Ridge!" ”

"I will, if we can't catch up with the necromancer, we'll go straight to Raven Ridge," replied Diego, advising Brother Samuel, "you must wait for me." Believe me, you can't handle that Mobent without me and Masrae's help? Fair's. ”

"We'll be careful," Rainier said nonchalantly, but he didn't seem to take Diego's words seriously, "Maybe you'll be surprised to find that we've got it done when you get to Raven Ridge!" ”

Diego was a little angry in his heart, although he wanted to say, Lao Tzu will kill you! But when he saw the priest girl, he felt that he had to say something, or he would regret it.

"Hey, listen, man, want to hear advice from a real friend? While it won't sound as good to the ear, it will certainly help you. Diago said sternly, his eyes blazing at Reinier, his eyes so sharp that the latter couldn't help but want to avoid his gaze, and finally, Reinier nodded involuntarily.

"No matter how careless you are. But these people who follow you, these people who help you are innocent, don't let them be in danger because of your stupidity! As a lord, any of your rash decisions. It could cost everyone's lives! You must know that when facing a strong enemy, no matter how cautious you are, it will not be superfluous! Diego said like a brother.

"I promise, I'll think carefully about your build." Rainier said with some curtle. In the end, it was Brother Samuel who gave him the steps.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him." The paladin said sincerely.

Diego sighed, he knew that he could only go so far, and that if he said anything harsher, he would probably provoke Reinier's rebellious mentality and have the opposite effect.

"Well, then, goodbye, I'll do my best to come. Remember, be sure to wait for me! He finally admonished.

With that, he and Masrae rode away. And Rainier and his party also began to pull out the camp.

It must be said that the two horses that Rainier gave them were very good and very fast, and after a while, Diego could not help but look back and find that the place where they had camped was very far away. Most of Rainier's men packed up and began to hit the road as a group, the line stretched so long that Diego could faintly see the beautiful figure at the back of the line, shrouded in a cloak.

Resisting the urge to pull his horse and run back, Aragorn turned around and continued south. He galloped. While lowering his head close to the neck of the war horse, he observed the clues on the ground. But the necromancer's trail was so vague that many times, he had to jump off his horse. Carefully examining in the grass, sometimes they would even go overboard and have to return again to find out where Stavin had gone.

And so they walked and stopped until it was nearly noon. They saw the towering stone tower.

The original name of the stone mage tower is no longer remembered, probably for some reason, the mage who built it abandoned the stone tower. It's not a mage who is now taking it for himself, it's a thief. His name is Craven? Mortvik is said to be the head of the thieves in the area, specializing in some wet work such as intelligence brokers, selling stolen goods, and smuggling. Over time, people who knew this place called the Tower of Mortvik. The Brotherhood of Defia also worked with Diego before he surrendered.

"If Staven was on top of that tower, I bet he would have seen us coming." Looking at the stone tower, Masrae said. He was right, there was an endless wasteland within a radius of more than ten miles around this tower, and no one had nowhere to hide.

"But I bet he won't hide inside, because there's only one entrance and exit, and there's nowhere to escape." "And he's unlucky enough to be that ghost, and Fordwick wouldn't dare take him in, these guys have a better sense of danger than wild dogs, and they won't take on business that will destroy them." ”

"So what do we do?"

"To get straight to the point, I don't think Moltvik would want to offend a real lord, especially if this lord is still his neighbor." Diego said that he was not arrogant enough to clear a den of thieves outside his territory, you know, even in the Celestial Empire, the black ~ she will be inexhaustible, stubble after leek like a stubble of leeks keep popping out. But in the same way, there has never been a thief who has dared to be stupid enough to argue with the authorities, no matter what plane it is.

There was no guard outside the tower, and Diego strode up the steps of the tower's doorway, then pulled the rope at the door. He heard a crisp bell ring behind the closed tower door, breaking the silence inside the stone tower.

A few minutes later, a series of footsteps crept towards the door, and Diego saw the small window in the door panel be slammed open from the inside. A somewhat menacing face appeared behind the small window.

"Who are you? What's going on here? He whispered in a hoarse voice. He looked a little nervous, as if he would definitely make them look good if the visitor didn't give him a satisfactory answer.

"Please tell the owner of the Tower of Mortvik, Lord Diego of Mooncreek? Asnar and his friends came to visit. Diego said without humility or arrogance, to be honest, for the civilians of the Stormwind Kingdom, a visit by a nobleman is something worth showing off, as for whether there is an appointment, is it needed?

The fierce face looked at them with some surprise, as if to distinguish the truth of the sentence, and after a few seconds, the small window was slammed shut, and a series of hurried footsteps gradually faded away.

Diego and Masrae had to wait at the door. They looked around the stone tower with some boredom, the terrain was empty, and there was not even a figure in sight, but Diego knew that there must be many pairs of eyes watching them in the dark, cautiously guessing their intentions. (To be continued.) )
