The shopping mall is in the commercial area, this area was originally called the East District, because of the shopping mall, gradually people call this area the commercial area.
Oswald was a dwarf who had several bunks in the mall, but he was not on the bunk himself, and his residence was on a street in the business district.
Roger needs to go directly to this dwarf to get the goods, he is familiar with the way, and he will be there soon.
"Aha, the little beauty came to pick up the goods in person."
Oswald, the dwarf, was in the big courtyard, fiddling with a large iron basket on the ground, and many tools on the side, when he saw that Amira was also coming, he laughed and cried out.
"Uncle Oswalt, what's wrong with your hot air balloon?" Amira asked, crouching next to the gnome, looking at the large pile of parts on the ground.
Oswalt's airship was rudimentary, with a hot air balloon on top and a magic airbag and a large iron basket underneath, his own invention, so it often broke.
But he inserted the iron pliers in his hand into the belt, gave a thumbs up, and said solemnly and proudly:
"It's an airship. Deluxe Edition, the Great Magic Airship. β
"It's just a hot air balloon, and I'm going to have to press the stove later, a magic airbag or something, isn't it?" Amira shrugged and sang a duet.
"Hehe, there's something wrong with the magic airship, it will fly into the sky in a few days, you kid come and get something."
Every time he went to Brad's safe zone, the dwarf would talk to the elf girl like this, he was used to it, he smiled and pointed at Roger and shouted, and then walked towards the warehouse.
An hour later, the delivery payment is complete.
"Let's go right away, the forest is not safe at night." Roger pulled the curious baby-looking elf girl and quickened his pace out of the city.
For ease of trade, the commercial area of Stream City has a dock and a gate to get out of the city, so it's safe to get out of the city without encountering any danger.
Arriving in the wilderness, entering the grove, Roger suddenly stopped.
"Do you hear people approaching?" Roger asked Amira in a low voice, either confirmed or feeling danger approaching.
Entering and exiting the city, he hid his storage bags in case of thieves. It's not once or twice that Roger hasn't been to Stream City, and Roger doesn't feel like he's going to attract attention, but the feeling of danger can't be dissipated.
"Maybe it's animals, it's some sounds."
Amira heard movement in the woods, but she was inexperienced enough to think that any of the gangsters would attack them.
"Find a place to take cover."
As soon as it was confirmed, Roger pulled up Amira, retreated sharply, saw a large rock, and immediately hid behind. Immediately afterward, two crossbow bolts whizzed out of the woods, nailed to the side of the large rock.
Not arrows, these people are not hunters. There aren't many rangers in human territory, but there are still a lot of hunters, but hunters are used to using short bows or longbows, as well as traps for hunting.
Roger immediately confirmed that there were six or seven figures flickering in the forest, and these people had the idea of the two of them.
"Who are they? Why attack us? β
In the forest, Amira had also killed some fierce beasts, but it was the first time she had seen the attacker, and the target was the two of them again, and she was a little panicked.
"I don't know why, anyway, I won't be a good person."
Roger quickly took out a refined rapier, a short knife and two short bows from the storage bag, and he handed the short knife and a short bow to the elven girl who was a little disgraced, "These are bad guys, they want to block the road and rob, they will never value other people's lives, if we don't make it happen, we will die here, don't be soft." β
"I don't want Roger to be hurt by someone else."
Amira took the weapon, and her hands clenched the bow and knife, and although the joints were a little white, her hands were still a little shaky.
Roger pressed his hand to the elven girl's somewhat cold hands, "Just like they're monsters in the wild, jackals in disguise." β
Faced with the elf girl's extremely uneasy expression, Roger could only comfort her.
Sure enough, Amira nodded, and her mood was much more stable.
"Hide, move your position slightly, don't be discovered by the other party where you are hiding, follow me to attack, and pay attention to the other party's light crossbow sneak attack."
To be honest, it was a lie not to be nervous, but Roger knew that he had to deal with today's situation, and after giving the order, he pointed to another rock more than ten meters away, smaller than this one, but it was still possible to hide from people when he lay down, "The next hiding spot." β
Amira nodded violently, her body began to become hazy, she had entered stealth mode, and those who didn't see her couldn't find it, only Roger could see it.
Roger attaches his rapier to the belt around his waist, pulls out his arrows, and goes into stealth mode. Then the two of them slowly moved away from their original positions, separated by five or six meters.
After leaving the cover of the big rock, Roger saw the four people attacking them clearly, separated into a fan and walked quickly, trying to surround the big rock. Just now he remembered that there were more than a few figures, and the others were also hiding.
Hunters also have hiding skills, but their abilities are very poor, and they are generally squatting and sneaking can be easily discovered.
Ordinary hunters will not gather together to rob like this, plus the other party uses a light crossbow, the advantage of a crossbow is that it does not require too much skill, it is much easier than learning a bow and arrow, but the speed is very slow.
In most cases, especially when the quality of the crossbow is not good, the speed decreases.
This requires a lot of skill to think about quickly, except for the crossbowmen in the army, there are also professional assassins, no one wastes time on this, and Roger estimates that the rest of those who can't see it are thieves.
The steps of the four were fast, and they rushed over without disguise.
There were only a few steps left, Roger's arrow shot out, and with a whoosh, an arrow hit a person in the chest, so close at a distance, it was no different from shooting directly at a person's chest.
The man slammed to the ground, not dead but almost.
"Damn, they have bows and arrows." The remaining three were already very close, and now they scattered and retreated, moving quickly to the side, trying to find a place to hide.
With a whoosh, more than ten meters away, three crossbow arrows flew towards Roger, who showed his form because of the attack.
However, after Roger shot the arrow, he had already expected this situation, and immediately rolled a few times on the grass and headed for the rock he had chosen earlier, while also dodging the attack of the three crossbow arrows.
Whoosh.
Two arrows flew out one second apart in a row, and Amira's two arrows hit two thieves with light crossbows and also showed their form because of the attack, but Amira missed the point. Rao was like this, and the two thieves also screamed and hid with their stomachs, and the other thief followed closely to find a hidden object.
Amira also hid behind the rock where Roger was, and no other crossbow bolts flew out, and there were only about seven people on the other side.
Amira's attack was effective, and only one of the opponent's three light crossbowmen was left unharmed, and his speed dropped significantly.
Taking advantage of the enemy's reloading of the crossbow bolts, Roger picked up Amira and sped out into the woods.
There are so many people on the other side, once they are approached, the two of them will not be able to deal with it. The gentleman took revenge, ten years is not too late, most of these people are from a gang in the slums, Roger didn't think about it, and immediately chose to go as the best policy.
The two changed directions and ran out for more than thirty meters, and Roger suddenly jingled in his head.
