Chapter 15: The Showdown
Beyond the exit of the sewer, a gray-black sailboat is quietly parked on the shore of the lake in the night.
Obviously, the Ven Sara ** master arranged everything very thoughtfully.
Although the shape of the sailboat is very ordinary, it is a true magical sail that can sail quickly even when there is no wind, and it can be easily controlled by a single mage without the need for a large group of sailors.
However, when the outline of Dalaran City completely disappeared into the dark sky, and everyone escaped without danger, the atmosphere on the sailboat was still extremely tense.
In particular, Arthur's face was obviously angry, and it was probably also suspicious of Edward.
"Don't be nervous, we didn't have time to bring the gifts, but we can still take the boat to Lordaeron as planned." Edward smirked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Let's get to the shore quickly, since you used us to rescue your uncle, I don't think you need to disguise it anymore." Su Chen sneered.
"Disguise?" Edward was slightly stunned.
"I guess you guys arranged it on purpose, didn't you? It's just to lure us to help you rob the prison and save people, or maybe you joined this adventure party from the beginning to lure us to Dalaran to save people. Su Chen said without hesitation, seeing that this magic sailing ship had sailed to the depths of Lake Lordanmere, if there was an accident, it would be exhausting enough to swim ashore.
Since the last time he had been adrift at sea for a few months, he now felt sick at the thought of swimming, so he had to find out before it was too late.
Before his words fell, Arthur on the side was already holding the cold sword and staring at Edward.
As the actual person in charge of the 'Dark Side of the Moon', he was naturally not stupid, and after contacting some of the previous anomalies, he would naturally believe Su Chen's words.
"Hehe, your imagination is too rich, it was Arthur who found me in Nanhai Town." Edward said but couldn't help but take a step back.
"Then why did you, as a noble mage of Dalaran, go to the town of Nanhai, which is full of refugees?" Su Chen sneered, with this guy's disgust with civilians, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to go to Nanhai Town.
"I ...... I like the scenery of Nanhai Town, can't I? ”
When Su Chen heard this, he sneered: "Yes, what about Master Van Sara?" Did she like the scenery of Lake Lordamere and walk with us? ”
Everyone on the sailboat suddenly froze, and when they heard Su Chen's words, they obviously meant that there were still people on this sailboat.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Van Sara rang out on the boat.
"The view of Lake Lordamere is truly beautiful, and I haven't seen it in years."
As her voice rang out, Van Sara, dressed in a white dress, stepped out of the cabin.
His smile still looks innocent, as if it were the first time he saw it.
"How do you know I'm on this boat? I used invisibility spells, which were far more difficult to detect than a thief's stealth. Van Sara said, but a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Su Chen.
"Actually, I was already suspicious when you mentioned the crown jewel." Su Chen shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"The jewel in the crown...... The Star of Elune? What's wrong with that? ”
Su Chen didn't answer, because this answer was related to the secret of his identity.
There was indeed a magical gem in Lordaeron's crown called the Star of Elune, but it was only once in possession, and in Arthas's memory, the crown had been broken many years ago, and the Star of Elune had been given to Gianna by him, and was now set in Gianna's staff.
Outsiders don't know about this, but according to Van Sara, she and Gianna are friends, and it is impossible that she has not seen Gianna's staff, and she still deliberately bargains with Arthur for the crown jewel, which shows that their so-called cooperation is actually just acting.
"If I'm not mistaken, your real purpose should be to enter the Violet Prison to save this old man, but although the guards of the prison have long been unbearable, many magic traps and traps are arranged by those ** masters in the city, even if you want to enter through the sewers, it is extremely difficult, so you need an extremely good thief."
As he spoke, Su Chen could feel a shadow behind him and a trace of abnormal fluctuations, it should be Medirli in action.
"Hehe, this young knight's conjecture is really interesting......"
"Originally, I was really just guessing, but when I saw Edward personally attack the guards of Violet Prison and save people, I knew that these conjectures were not wrong, but I didn't know what kind of identity this old man was, and it was worthy of you, a noble and beautiful ** master, to abandon all his status and honor to betray Dalaran." Su Chen smiled and looked at Van Sara.
There was indeed an extremely complicated look on the face of this beautiful ** master, but it was only a fleeting moment.
"Yes, I did arrange all this, from Edward's appearance in the South Seas to the arrival of the little rascals in the Larann Tavern, but I actually have no ill will towards you, I just borrowed the thief's excellent ability to disarm the trap and pick the lock, if you are willing to end this matter, then I will still send you to Lordaeron on the north shore, and send a scroll of Dalaran to return to the city as a reward." Van Sara said in a deep voice, no smile on her beautiful face.
"You dare to deceive us, you are looking for death!" The first to jump was the Dwarven Spirit, but he couldn't bring his hammer, and now he could only hold a short sword that Arthur had thrown at him.
Su Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, although it was beneficial for warriors and thieves to fight with the mage on a small sailboat, but you must know that this ship belongs to someone else, and the ghost knows what kind of trap the other party will set on this ship.
"Hmph, it's just a bunch of garbage, since I've come out, I'll just erase them from this world, lest they reveal too many of our secrets." The old man, who had not spoken since he was rescued, suddenly spoke in a gloomy voice.
"Uncle, your strength has returned?" Van Sara couldn't help but look surprised when she heard this.
Su Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if Edward also said that this old man in black was his uncle, could it be that he and Van Sara were sisters and brothers?
In this way, it seems that this Van Sara may not be very old, and to be able to become a ** master at this age, he definitely has an extremely excellent mage talent, you must know that even Gianna has not been able to obtain the title of ** master now.
"Only a small part has been recovered, but it is completely enough to deal with these few little things, Ilucia, you are just a little too kind, you have been promoted to the ** division, and you still don't like to kill, then I will do it for you, and by the way, I can make a few flesh and blood puppets." The old man with a swry face stretched out his wrinkled fingers as he spoke.
