Chapter 672: The Man Who Should Have Died

"My lord, this is news from over there......" Joblin said as he took the scroll of paper from the scout's hand and handed it to Wei Xu.

"Hmm......" Wei Xu replied softly as he watched as Joblin handed the thing to him, as he prepared to reach for it.

Just as Wei Xu was about to touch the paper scroll in Joblin's hand, the big thief's face suddenly changed, and his hand retracted slightly. "Wait, my lord, there are other things in this paper roll, and the thickness is different from the previous one......"

According to Wei Xu's requirements, all the letters that record the whereabouts of the cat people are top secret letters, and no one is allowed to open them. And because the people who sent the messages belonged to the scouts with the most reliable loyalty, the paper scroll usually didn't go through any inspection. When it arrived, it was passed directly to Wei Xu.

"Something else?" Wei Xu glanced at the paper scroll in Joblin's hand, and visually measured that this size was no different from the size given to him in the past? Could it be that there is still a hidden weapon in it?

After obtaining Wei Xu's consent, Joblin took out a pair of animal skin gloves from his spatial ring, and then slowly opened the paper scroll with both hands.

"Poof......" The moment he opened the paper scroll, a handful of purple powder pounced out of it and dispersed in the air, and then slowly fell, mixed with dust.

"What's that?" Looking at the powder in the air, Wei Xu faintly had a familiar feeling. It seems that he has seen this thing somewhere, but if he wants to say it all at once now, Wei Xu can't remember it for a while.

"Your Excellency...... This is poison...... It seems that the poison is not weak......" Looking at the poisonous powder stained on the animal skin gloves, Joblin suddenly said loudly. "Wait...... Isn't that the ingredient for the Delhiman guy's Eliman's Elixir Elixir? ”

As soon as Derriman said this, Wei Xu suddenly remembered, no wonder he felt so familiar, it turned out to be the kind of poison powder prepared by the snow elves. But how did this thing get mixed up in the scroll of paper that passed on the message to me?

"Your Excellency...... Our eyeliner may have really encountered an accident......" There were still residual toxins on the paper roll, and Joblin directly helped Wei Xu see what was written on it. But at this glance, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"What is written on it?" Wei Xu subconsciously asked when he saw the change in Joblin's complexion.

"Hmm...... There is only one 'hello' written on it. Joblin said, showing Wei Xu the handwriting on the scroll from a distance. The handwriting of a guy who should have died......"

Wei Xu looked at the crooked letters, and said a little puzzled: "This guy obviously wrote it like this on purpose, can you still recognize it?" ”

"It's Mercer, I've seen him write with his left hand when I've been on missions with him before, so I'm still familiar with his handwriting......" Joblin's voice was a little gloomy. Damn, shouldn't that guy be dead in Eukintander? How is it now again! ”

"You didn't kill him with your own hands, did you?" Wei Xu remembered that Deriman and Joblin had chased Mercer at the beginning, and he also learned a little about the follow-up from the two of them. That guy sank to the bottom of the water after being poisoned by Deriman and disappeared, but according to the situation at the time, it was poisoned and flooded, and there was an army of snow elves outside the door, so it stands to reason that this guy should definitely die.

"Humph! I didn't expect this guy to be so lucky......" Joblin snorted softly, naturally very upset about Mercer's escape.

"So our Dragonborn Lord should have a great thief as his henchman by now? It's a bit difficult to do now......" After identifying the person he had sent to spy on Dacula's eyeliner, Wei Xu had a headache.

According to the hints given by the liars Mai and Terga, Alduin will return soon, and the key to this return lies with Dacula. Not to mention that Wei Xu also wants to spy on Dacula so as to take advantage of this guy at some critical time. Now that Dacula has a big thief to follow, the difficulty of trying to get Dacula's whereabouts has skyrocketed. After all, these big thieves with strong latent abilities are often very strong in anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

"Your Excellency...... I'll go......" Joblin also saw the key to Wei Xu's headache, and volunteered after disposing of the paper roll in his hand. "That guy was lucky to be able to escape from there, but I believe that his strength will definitely be greatly discounted, otherwise he will definitely come directly to the Half Moon Collar to trouble us."

"What if he deliberately wanted to lure you over to settle the dispute between you?" Wei Xu looked at Joblin, and such a question suddenly popped up in his mind.

"This ......" Joblin was also a little dumbfounded for a while.

"In case his letter is to tell us that if we want to spy on Dacula, we have to send a big thief with the same strength as him, and I have ......two people among my men, you and Deliman," Wei Xu said, his thoughts also broadened, and he was more sure of Mercer's intention in this letter. Otherwise, there was no need for him to send such a letter, wouldn't it be better to hide in the shadows? ”

"But are you really going to give up on spying on that dragonborn's every move?" Joblin listened to Wei Xu's analysis, and finally asked helplessly.

"That's not going to work......" Wei Xu gently kneaded his sideburns and opened the book in his hand again.

“…… Finally, a villager secretly followed the warrior when he went to slay the dragon. He saw that after several rounds of the battle, the warrior who had finally slain the dragon was sitting on a throne in the pile of treasures, with the dragon's horns growing on his head, the dragon's tail growing behind him, and the dragon's wings growing on his back......"

Wei Xu's feeling told him that there were still many secrets on Dacula's side, and although Alduin was dead, the battle with the dragon was obviously not over...... And the key to the next return of this big black dragon is in this cat-man dragonborn......

"Then you can go...... Remember to keep an eye on Dacula and don't clash with Mercer head-on...... Pay attention to safety......" Finally, Wei Xu still made this decision that made him helpless......

The Kas Delta has many tributaries, clear rivers and fertile soils that nurture life. Of course, most of them are delicacies in human mouths, with the three-tuged walrus coming first, followed by mirelurks.

"Smack!" The dagger in the prime mage's hand finally pierced through the mouth of the mirelurk in front of him, killing the thing in front of him that could feed him for days.

"Whew...... I really should have chosen ice spell cultivation in the first place! What kind of fire system to play! People's ice spells can be hunted and kept fresh, and Lao Tzu's fire spell can burn the prey to ashes with a single flame! Seeing that the mirelurk no longer had a life reaction, the mage gasped for breath as he unleashed healing spells on his wounds. The mirelurk's attack was not particularly lethal to him with mage armor, but the sharp serrations still left a lot of large and small scars on his body.

Just as the mage was packing up his prey and preparing to leave, he saw a group of officers and soldiers in imperial uniforms sitting in a small boat, all the way down the river to the shallows below, before stopping. These officers and soldiers looked embarrassed, and what caught the mage's attention the most was the black and purple wound on the face of the old man who was protecting among them, whose armor was obviously much more ornate than the others.

"Hey...... That guy seems to have been hit by some kind of soul toxin, and if he delays for another ten minutes, he will probably die...... "The mage obviously has a good attainment in the soul, and he saw the problem at a glance, and subconsciously shouted to the few imperial officers and soldiers on the shallows......
