Chapter 7: The Three Masters of Tirisfa
"Falcon" Winrio, with his only eye, swept the forest in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Falcon" is Winrio's nickname, which comes from his eyes sharper than an eagle, although he had been blinded during a fight with a giant wolf five years earlier.
Winrio is an adventurer, more precisely a wandering adventurer, more commonly a robber.
Once a hunter on the outskirts of Stratholme, Winrio has become his current profession since his faithful hound was killed by a giant wolf five years ago, and he is no longer able to fight the mighty beasts of the jungle.
Robbering is never an easy job, in fact, in the five years of his career as a bandit, Winrio nearly lost his life many times, the most dangerous one was three years ago.
One day three years ago, Winrio and a group of wandering adventurers raided a caravan, only to find a powerful mage of Dalaran in the caravan. Wen Lio watched his companions fall under the mage's fireball one by one, and in a hurry, he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
Successfully activating his feigned death skill, Winrio escaped, armed with his bow and arrows, and fled to the Tirisfal Glade in panic.
The Tirisfard Glade is a vast wooded area with steep terrain, and although it is close to Lordaeron, it is sparsely populated, with only a few small towns such as Brill.
And after all, once bitten by a snake, the experienced Wen Lio was very careful when he was working, paying extra attention to his attack targets, and would only attack lone civilians, but his life had stabilized in the past few years, and he also recruited two followers......
A strange sound suddenly came from the hut behind him, which made Winrio frown.
He turned around and shouted, "Misha, you're stealing again!" ”
There was another trivial sound in the house, and after half a minute, I saw a strong man walking out of the hut slowly, and when he saw Wen Lio, he smiled honestly: "Boss...... I didn't have ......"
Winrio angrily reprimanded the strong man Misha twice, but did not expose his lies.
Misha "The Bear", a loyal follower of Winrio! Of course, that's just a nice way to put it.
Originally an ordinary farmer in Stratholme, Misha was called "Giant Bear" by his neighbors due to his unusually strong body! Winrio took a fancy to the farmer and thought he could be a good meat shield, so he tricked him with his jerky, equipped him with equipment, and taught him some fighting skills.
As it turned out, Winrio still doesn't know if this decision was the right one. Although Misha is in good physical condition, her brain is not very good; To be exact, he doesn't care about anything but jerky...... But fortunately, judging from the current performance, as long as enough jerky is provided, Misha is still more loyal to him!
"Eat, know to eat, beware of eating like a pig!" Wen Lio shouted bitterly.
"Boss......" Misha lowered her head, glanced at Winrio timidly, and then whispered, "I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten jerky in days!" ”
Winrio couldn't help but fall silent!
At this stage, their situation is not good, in fact, they have not succeeded in robbing for almost two weeks.
The flow of customers here itself is not large, and Wen Lio is extra cautious, he doesn't dare to do it when he sees the slightest sign of danger, and his luck has not been good recently......
They were almost out of food, and they had been eating the most ordinary black bread for the past few days, and Winrio himself could occasionally feel a little hungry, not to mention the naturally heavy food of Misha.
"What's the hurry!" Wen Lio said impatiently: "Bear with it for two more days, we will do a big deal, and then go to Lordaeron to have a good meal of fat beef rolls!" ”
"Okay...... The leader ...... "As soon as he heard the fat cow roll, he only saw Misha's eyes shining, and he nodded again and again.
Wen Lio couldn't help but sigh, and came up with a rather philosophical sentence in his heart: Sometimes, having no brains is not a kind of happiness!
But this is just a blank check after all, and Wen Lio himself has no expectations for such a big ticket.
We can only wait for the "mouse" to come back, maybe he will bring back some good news.
Once again, Wireio swept the woods in front of him with his piercing eyes, in fact, he had been looking for traces of the "rats".
Winrio's efforts soon paid off, and after a few minutes, a man with a short head, small eyes, a mouse-like face, and a pointed nose appeared from the shadows.
"Boss, there's a big deal!" "Mouse" said eagerly as soon as he saw Winrio.
Peter "Mouse", another follower of Winrio, a thief. He was originally an apprentice at Ravenhold Manor, but was eliminated by the other side due to his timid personality, and was later rescued by Winrio and became a member of the trio, where he worked as a scout and ambush.
Due to his birth, Peter's stealth skills are so skilled that even Winrio can sometimes find him difficult to spot. But Peter's character has a special weakness, he is so timid that he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken!
In a sense, going to Ravenhold in the first place was a complete mistake for him!
"Big deal!" Wen Lio's eyes couldn't help but light up, could it be that he was really transferred today?
"Quick, quick, fast!" He said eagerly.
"Pastor...... I found two lonely pastors...... On the way to Lordaeron! Peter's tone stuttered a little because of his excitement.
"Reverend!" Wen Lio's expression couldn't help but turn from excitement to disappointment, although the priest's combat effectiveness was not strong, but after all, he was a priest, and there were two others, I am afraid that it was far from being something that his three rabble could deal with.
"Boss, it's not a real priest, it's two priest apprentices, it's easy to deal with!" Peter hurriedly explained: "Just the robes and medical supplies on their bodies, we can exchange them for at least a few dozen silver coins!" ”
"Priest's apprentice?" Wen Lio's expression quickly calmed down, and he already had a new plan in his mind.
Priesthood is not an ordinary profession, in fact, very few priests come from commoners, most of them come from aristocratic families, let alone priests and apprentices from Lordaeron! If these two are kidnapped later, and they go to Lordaeron Cathedral to extort a ransom, it will not be a good thing!
And it's only two priest apprentices, and Winrio believes that the three of them on his side can easily handle it.
Although this is a bit risky, the feasibility is relatively high.
What's more, Wen Lio has long been tired of eating black bread every day, and with a ransom of dozens of gold coins, he can wash his hands of gold and flee to the south to live a stable life.
After making up his mind, Wen Lio nodded at Peter: "Very good Peter, then let's go now!" ”
After thinking about it, Wen Lio turned around again and said to Misha, "Misha, if this business is done well, we can go to Lordaeron to eat fat beef rolls!"
As soon as he heard about the fat cow roll, Misha's morale suddenly rose.
"Misha will give them a taste!"
