The camp was silent, Adam sat with his eyes closed, six militiamen and Arras sitting beside him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seven light spirits floated curiously in the camp, the middle-aged mage was obviously very interested in this soft magical creature, if he saw such a creature in the wild, he would definitely not hesitate to use magic to capture one for study.
But their owner was Adam, who had just purified a bronze strength blood clan, so even though he was very curious about such a creature that could unleash white magic, the middle-aged mage could only stare at their round bodies with his eyes.
Adam opened his eyes, and the light spirits floating in the camp immediately lined up and came to Adam's side. Patting one of the spirits, Arask, who was sitting next to Adam, even heard the sound of a soft elasticity.
Unbeknownst to everyone in the camp, Adam had become a Level 3 Templar Priest and had been given his first attack spell and new class, the Timberwolves.
Martin, who had been paying attention to Adam's movements, and the middle-aged mage saw that Adam had finally finished resting, and walked over one after the other.
This time it is not a provocation, and it can even be said that the posture is a little low. After getting Adam's permission, Martin and the middle-aged mage breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in front of Adam through the campfire, wanting to stop talking.
But Arras, who was sitting next to Adam, spoke.
"Sir, all I know is that I took over this Mr. Martin's mission in Falcon City half a month ago. As per the mission description, we need to escort the caravan to Walden, the city of the Southern Council of Nobles. I thought we needed to deal with goblins, ogres, and bandits that might be encountered along the way just near the ash forest. But just two days ago, something suspicious happened. ”
It seems that with Adam as a backer, Arras has no scruples about Martin, who is sitting opposite, and tells what happened to him.
"This Mr. Martin left the caravan with a convoy and did not know where it was going. According to my observations, those who followed Martin away were all high-level professionals. A day later, Martin returned, only that team was almost completely wiped out, with heavy casualties. Mr. Martin then sent the rest of the caravan to Falcon City with the goods as if nothing had happened, and according to him, he and some of the more powerful professionals had something to attend to. ”
"Although I am not very strong, I am a little clever, and I quickly realized that there might be a problem in the middle. So I applied to act with Martin, but it was denied. Sure enough, a day later, the caravan was attacked by vampires, and the only bronze warrior in the group was killed by Jerome. I escaped by jumping into the Danube after seeing that it was the attack of the Bloods, and after I went ashore, I accidentally encountered an ogre. As for the reason why this Mr. Martin said that I was a traitor to the caravan and wanted to dispose of me, I am not very clear. ”
"I'm also curious, why do you want to deal with Arras? Is it because he might know something that can't be known by others? Adam asked.
In the face of Adam's question, Martin looked very unnatural, his finger rubbing against the ring.
"Before I explain this, I want to thank you once again. Dear Mr. Mage, if it weren't for your help, poor Martin would have been tortured to death by the evil Bloods. ”
However, Adam simply nodded his head to indicate that he had heard this, and did not react otherwise.
Martin sneered and continued to explain.
"Actually, we didn't mean anything else just now, we just wanted to ask about the caravan from the mouth of this person, uh, and Arras, after all, it was my brainchild. It's just that the adventurer I hired in the middle didn't use it in such a proper way, and something unpleasant happened. ”
It may be that the disbelief on Adam's face is too obvious, or it may be that Martin also realizes that he is lying too easily, and he immediately changes the subject, after all, Arras is just a small person, and if it weren't for Adam, he wouldn't even bother to give an explanation.
"Well, let me explain why the Bloods attacked the caravan. As you know, Mr. Mage, I am a businessman. For merchants, as long as there are enough gold, there are only two choices: do or not. And this time, the price offered by the customer made it difficult for me to refuse. Through the Buffetson Business Alliance, a customer wants to get a live vampire! ”
"What does he want a vampire for?" Arras said he couldn't understand, "By the way, as long as there are enough gold coins, there are only two choices: do it or not." Arras mimicked Martin's tone, not at all surprised that Martin dared to take on such a ridiculous task.
You know, it's a vampire, a slave and warrior raised by the Blood, and God knows what he's going to do with a live vampire.
Pretending not to hear Arras's sarcasm, Martin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"To be clear, that's no ordinary vampire. If it were an ordinary vampire, I wouldn't have had to travel all the way from Uprau to Celt to even catch my caravan. ”
Although he didn't know much about the place of Uppler, it didn't stop Adam from being curious about "not being an ordinary vampire".
Not only Adam, but Arras, a victim who was caught up in a bloodline attack without knowing anything, was even more curious. Only the six militiamen sitting around the campfire didn't care at all as if they hadn't heard anything.
"This vampire is the offspring of the Bloods and Werewolves!"
"Oh my God, the offspring of the Bloods and Werewolves! The rebels of the three prophecies! Arras exclaimed.
He turned his head to look at Adam, and saw that there was no expression on Adam's face, and there might be a hint of doubt, so he quickly explained.
"In the legend of Yupler, the mage Colin once made three prophecies: the conqueror, the silence, and the rebel. The first empire in human history was established by the conquerors, and the kingdom of the mages was created by the Silencers, both of which have long since been fulfilled. And the whole content of the third prophecy of the rebel is that one offspring of the blood and werewolves will be crowned by the white bones of both races! ”
The middle-aged mage, who had been sitting quietly on the sidelines, probably thought of Adam's lack of common sense about the blood clan just now, and also explained.
"Although the Bloods and Werewolves are both dark creatures, they have always had a feud, and they are eager to knock out each other's brains. There are very few cases in history where the Bloodline has cooperated with werewolves, let alone the offspring between the two races. ”
"So you succeeded?" Adam said.
"No, we failed, just a little bit." Merchant Martin said in a very regretful tone.
"According to the information provided by the customer, the vampire was drained of the source blood of the blood clan by the elders of the Johnson family after its birth, and degenerated into a vampire, and was exiled in a cave in the ash forest, with little power of its own. But the cave's guardians were stronger than I had imagined, and the operation failed. Because of the combination of family members and werewolves to give birth to offspring, and Master Colin's prophecy about rebels, the Johnson family takes this vampire very seriously. They thought we were hired by werewolves, so as soon as they were discovered, the Johnson family immediately dispatched forces to attack the caravan. ”
"Will you continue to be hunted down by the Bloodclan in the future?"
"I'm afraid yes, though I hate to admit it, but unless I leave the Celtics, they'll all have a special way to find us." Saying this, Martin's chubby face was almost huddled together.
Adam glanced at Martin and noticed a hint of darkness in him when he had just observed him. Now Adam was sure that the dark aura was the mark left by the Bloods on Martin's body, and with this mark they could sense Martin's position from a distance.
"Martin, you're a businessman." Adam said quite formally.
"Huh?" This is the doubtful Martin, the middle-aged mage, and Arras.
"What if I said I could make it impossible for the Bloodlines to find you in a special way?"
There is no great enmity between Adam and Martin, and as for the blood clan that was purified just now, Adam can only regretfully say that he can only wronged you in order to improve my professional level.
The middle-aged mage and Martin were not fools either, and quickly reacted to what Adam meant. But at what cost do you have to pay to get the help of the young mage in front of you?
"A fee you think is reasonable."
The answer that Martin didn't expect, and it happened to be the price he could afford, and when it came to gold, the combined wealth of the people in the entire camp was probably less than one percent of his own.
"Deal!"
