Chapter 163: A Woman's Heart, a Needle Under the Sea

Beneath the green forest, the dark, damp dungeon welcomes two new guests. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The pungent stench woke Pell as the piercing wound on her calf grew inflamed and festered in the filthy environment, the pain became more and more numb, and the whitening flesh was filled with the same disgusting smell as the surroundings. The drow elves immediately understood that they had become captives.

In the dark dungeon, in addition to the sound of water droplets breaking, there was also the noise of human beings.

"My lord, she's awake."

"I see ......," Taylor said as he fiddled with the spellcasting materials in his hand.

Mage, Mage again! Seeing this scene, Pei'er, who originally wanted to resist, showed despair.

Taylor's interrogation continued into the afternoon, during which time Ryan trained in the use of the Shadow Hand in his room.

According to Taylor's words, the spells on the magic equipment have a mana measurement, but due to the surge of magic energy, when activating the spell, the measurement will be offset and become unstable. Other spells don't have much effect, but spells like the Shadow Hand, which require fine control, can easily become difficult to control.

It's like a mouse, Ryan's sensitivity is too high compared to ordinary people, and he can slide out at any touch.

But under Taylor's guidance, Ryan began to get acquainted with the feeling of being too flexible.

Hand of Shadows!

The unbowed arrow disappeared in an instant under the black cloud, and a soft sound came from behind him.

That's right, behind you!

Ryan smiled lightly, and immediately looked back, only to see the humble straw man behind him pierced through the center by his own arrow.

That's why Ryan was in a hurry to use the Shadow Hand well, although the arrow couldn't change its direction due to the force of the arrow's detached bow, but it could change its starting position.

This ability can not only mislead the enemy about his hiding position, but also inflict surprise on the enemy. Combined with Shadow Arrow Sneak Attack damage, Ryan can easily inflict heavy damage and even shoot an enemy of his level.

Success didn't make Ryan slack, after all, he didn't have blind shooting expertise, the Shadow Hand couldn't be used to the fullest, and only with constant practice could he find the right use among the flaws.

"My lord, a young lady named Laura is looking for you." Just as the half-elf's fingers were starting to sour as they plucked the bowstring, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the guard's voice seemed a little hurried, but it made Ryan smile.

"Why did it take so long to come? Are you trying to give me a dismount? At the entrance of the town, a man wrapped in a cloak turned over and jumped off his horse, and through the flying cloak, he could vaguely see the familiar hot figure.

"If you don't wear a cloak, I don't think the guards will stop you."

"Huh?"

"After all, it's not in a hurry to swallow saliva!" With a slight smile, Ryan stepped forward to take the reins and handed them directly to the guards.

"Hehe, are you complimenting me?" As she spoke, Laura lifted her hat and showed heartfelt joy.

"Do you need to boast? I'm telling the truth. Pointing to the guards beside him whose eyes were about to pop out, Ryan shrugged helplessly and took the lead to walk inside, "I called you here for a war, not a beauty pageant, why do you put on such beautiful makeup?" ”

"yes, you don't even look at it when I put on makeup, if I don't wear makeup, won't you think I'm too ugly?"

"Huh? Doesn't that sound right? Don't? I took you as a friend, but I didn't expect you to be! ”

"Actually your uncle!"

……

"This is your room?" Blinking, Laura looked at the slightly desolate courtyard in front of her, and her face showed a hint of incredulity, "Aren't you a mage?" How to live in this kind of place? You shouldn't have done something unreasonable and been ostracized, right? ”

"Actually, I think it's pretty good here......" The woman's accurate guess made the corners of Ryan's mouth tremble, and he immediately pushed the door, changing the topic of sadness and money, "Come in and sit?" ”

"Are you inviting me into your room?" Glancing at Ryan teasingly, Laura's smile would definitely look obscene if it were placed on a man.

"Don't sit down." As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan slammed the door back, but he didn't hear the expected impact.

"What, in a hurry? I didn't say I wasn't happy. Pushing open the door, Laura walked in with a big grin, looked at it briefly, sat down on the stool very casually, and said with a look of disgust, "You've been living too hard these days, aren't you?" The last time I saw you buy so many things, I thought you were really a big guy, and I thought you were sticking all the old books? ”

"Now that it's over, can you still afford my wages?"

"I'm not in charge, my bounty doesn't belong to me, I'll talk to Cedric myself. Besides, the last time you fooled me, Lanier and I almost died, how do you calculate the mental damage fee? And Lanier's treatment fee, I haven't asked you yet, are you really embarrassed to ask me for a bounty? Glancing at Laura, who was pretending to be her master, Ryan's indifferent gaze was like a steel needle, making her look dodge, and she didn't dare to look at him at all.

"Ahem, how much did Lanier pay for his treatment? What happened to him? Wasn't it okay when we left? Although there was a suspicion of changing the subject, the confusion and anxiety on Laura's face were real.

Taking a sip of tea, Ryan didn't bother to bother with her about compensation: "He's infected with the ghoul plague, and he's still lying in the hospital bed, and he's almost awake now, if you feel sorry, go to the central square to see him." ”

"Okay, then I won't bother you." Afraid that Ryan would bring up the issue of compensation again, Laura hurriedly opened the door.

"Ahh As the door opened, Anne's petite body fell to the ground in exclamation.

"Yo, where did the little girl come from, why is she so unsuccessful and eavesdropping?" Laura teased, apparently she knew Anne was lying outside the door.

"No, it's not, I'm here to bring lunch to adults." Getting up from the ground, Anne looked around in a panic, but she couldn't help but secretly look at the woman in front of her.

"Tsk, Ryan, I really thought you were a decent gentleman, but I didn't expect to like this kind of ......" Judging from the physiognomy, Anne is a half-grown child, and Laura suddenly glanced at the half-elf behind her with a perverted gaze.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm really not a gentleman, speaking of which, is there anything we have forgotten?" There was no excitement at all, but Ryan's flat tone made Laura instantly furious.

"No, absolutely not! I'll withdraw first, you guys talk slowly! Passing Anne, Laura seemed to disappear from the sight of the two.

"Lord Ryan, is this beautiful sister your friend?" Fortunately, the basket was protected and the food did not fall on the floor, and Anne asked casually as she took out her lunch.

"Sort of." Stunned for a moment, Ryan smiled and shook his head, this reaction made Anne scratch her head.

However, the latter didn't think much about it, just whispered with envy in his eyes: "She looks so beautiful." ”

"You're beautiful too."

"Huh?" Hearing the praise, the girl's cheeks blushed again.

"She's just more confident than you, if you're bolder, you're no worse than her."

"Lord Ryan, are you serious?" The fingers that were stirred together turned white, and Anne was so nervous that she was almost in shock.

"Of course, but if you want to be confident, you first remove the word 'adult'."

"No, I mean, do you really think I'm pretty?"
