Chapter Forty-Eight: The Eve of the Storm

In the Tavern of the South of the City. Allen's party with Cayton and Odro spreads among adventurers. A young warlock of great strength, a dragon knight like no other, and a sturdy dwarf. What a fantastic pair!

In the talk of many adventurers in the tavern, Alan found that his reputation continued to rise, until around 7568 points, and gradually stabilized. Alan talks to Cayton and Odro about their combat experience. The two were surprised to find that this little brother, who didn't look big, still knew so much.

"I wonder if the two guys noticed the attack on the Mage Academy not long ago?" After three rounds of drinking, Alan brings the conversation to issues related to the "Abyss Invasion".

This is a topic of conversation among adventurers. The two Odro seemed very interested.

Odero said: "This matter caused a stir more than a month ago, and it is said that the Mage Academy has launched an investigation, but it seems to have encountered some difficulties, and there has been no answer to the truth of the incident. ”

"This matter is very complicated, and there is too much involved behind it, and the Chengnan Security Team has been involved in the investigation for a while, but at the critical moment, it has always yielded nothing." Cayton frowned, unlike Odro from the south, Cayton was originally a nobleman of the Golden City, and he knew more about the twists and turns behind this matter.

The dragon knight didn't understand why Eren suddenly talked about this matter, and asked, "Brother Alan, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Alan paused and said, "In the past, my teacher was attacked by a skeleton monster, a powerful skeleton that was 2.5 meters high, holding a shield and a large knife, and a strange skeleton that was only 1.1 meters tall and agile as the wind, the situation was critical at that time, if it wasn't for luck, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

In order to convince the two well-informed friends of his words, Alan told the story of the first time he was attacked by a skeleton monster in his previous life. At that time, Eren had just been promoted to a second-order mage, and was working hard to build his first mage tower. I don't want to be attacked by a skeleton monster during a rush.

That time, Allen fought for more than ten hours, fighting while running, and stayed up until dawn, and only when the strength of the skeleton monsters was at its lowest was that he barely eradicated them. In this encounter, Alan also almost lost his life.

Now, except for the wrong time and the spells used, all the details of the battle are from Allen's personal feelings. The room full of friends was stunned.

"Brother Allen, I didn't expect you to have such an experience." Shirley took Alan's hand, looking a little nervous.

Alan looked at his surprised friends in front of him and began to express his opinion: "As you can imagine, the skeleton monsters are very strong, why would they attack the mage apprentice?" Among the mage apprentices who were attacked in the first place was Sister Shirley, and now she is here, but in so many days, we have never seen a request from the Mage Academy to assist in the investigation. ”

"Ahh Dai'er and the others were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Shirley, the only mage apprentice in the field.

Shirley blushed and nodded slightly, proving what Eren said.

"Therefore, we may be able to make a bold prediction that the Mage Academy is now in some kind of difficulty, so that it is impossible to even start on time." Allen's words were not shocking, and a simple sentence made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

Cayton was stunned for a long time before he answered: "Brother Allen's point of view is very likely. In the castle of Morrell, Cayton felt that Alan was a man who could sit and talk about the world, and now when he heard this plan, he felt even more that today's banquet was not in vain.

At this time, Dale suddenly looked at Odro and asked, "Brother Odro, what happened to you, could it be related to the skeleton monster?" Dale remembered that last night Leodro had mentioned the sacrifice of a living man, which was a terrible thing, and Dale naturally associated the sacrifice with an undead creature like a skeleton.

Regarding the mysterious sacrifice, Odero originally planned to no longer hide his friend, but when Dale questioned him, he said: "Alan, Cayton, if you have something to say, you can help me refer to it and see what should be done." ”

Seeing that Alan and the others nodded, Odro told everything he had said to Dale last night!

"There is such a thing!" After hearing the words of human sacrifice, the dragon knight Cayton slapped the table vigorously. There was a crisp sound on the hard tabletop, startling several girls.

Seeing this, Cayton smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm excited for a while." ”

He continued: "A few years ago, I used to be the magistrate in the Golden City, so I was very sensitive to things like cult sacrifices, and I once went to a mysterious evil den in the western part of the city with my colleagues, and saw with my own eyes the destruction of the living by those guys, many methods, and I still remember it vividly, which made me angry. ”

When they heard this, they all laughed.

Only Alan frowned, this mysterious altar is probably not as simple as a cult. In Allen's memory, the reason why the abyss's invasion of the Divine Grace Continent was so ferocious was largely related to the many "cults" in 1325 and 1326, and it turned out that many cults were actually minions of the abyss in the end.

"We can't see the connection between the mystical sacrifice and the skeleton monster right now. But the two eldest brothers should also know that the reason why I brought up this matter today is largely because of a prophecy by my teacher. Regardless of the accuracy of the prophecy, it is the first time that I have seen my teacher so cautious after all these years of following him. Alan said.

Alan took a sip of wine and said, "I mentioned this matter in front of the two elder brothers to tell the two eldest brothers that I want to start investigating these things. This was done for the teacher's prophecy on the one hand, and on the other hand, to protect Shirley's safety. ”

Odro and the others nodded, and Dale looked at Allen, then at Shirley, and didn't say anything.

Cayton looked excited: "I support you, Brother Allen!" ”

"I'm just as supporting!" Odro Road.

Alan looked at Odro: "If Big Brother Odro is willing, maybe we can investigate these two things together, I think, maybe behind this mysterious sacrifice, there is a very likely hidden truth very amazing." ”

"Really? How so? It was the dragon knight Cayton who asked this, and it was obvious that this knight with a sense of justice was very concerned about the matter in front of him.

So Eren told how he was hunted down by the orcs, and how he promised the dark elf Ini to rescue the elf village.

"In the elven village, there is also a mysterious altar, and that altar is also sacrificed with living people!" Alan didn't have any superfluous expression on his face, and his expression was very solemn.

Shocked, surprised, incredulous.

After listening to Allen's words, Odro and the others showed a look of surprise on their faces.

"If the other party can even control orcs and elves, once it develops, it will be a very terrifying force!" Cayton said after looking at the dark elf Ini.

Odro also frowned: "If it's like what Brother Alan said, then the altar I'm tracking may have something to do with the forces that control elves and orcs." ”

Alan nodded, noncommittal, in fact, Alan knew that what happened to Big Brother Odro, according to the sphere of influence, was more likely to be related to the forces of the Death Knight Victor, and the dark elf village was a stronghold under the control of Lilian, the Phantom Serpent.

In the tavern, Alan continued to talk from noon to night for the sake of promise and future affairs, Odro for the revenge of the murder of his followers, and Keyton for justice and friendship......

It's already dark.

In the beast pen of the Tavern in the south of the city, two black shadows appeared in front of the huge Earth Walking Dragon.

As usual, when Cayton was not there, he lay down on the ground and slept, and he didn't pay attention to ordinary people when they came. But this time, the Earth Walking Dragon opened its eyes shrewdly. Amazingly giant-eyed, staring at the exit of the enclosure.

Not far away, Allen's giant blue wolf also stood up, pacing around, and let out a low roar from his mouth.

"Good fellow, isn't this the big blue wolf from yesterday, it's really here. Do you want to give it some ......?" said a man in black.

"Don't make trouble, the big boss said okay, the weight of this thing is only enough to deal with that guy. Don't be arrogant, if something happens, you will be responsible? ”

The two men in black said as they walked sneakily and came to the pen of the Earth Walking Dragon.

"Hey, you say, that guy who reported the news, is it here now, don't show it."

"Don't worry too much, complete our own tasks, just get the money, what are you doing so much, and you still have to die!"

"Okay, good, just be cautious, the big boss also trusts you." The man in black, who talked a lot, looked at his partner with some disdain.

Roar......

Inside the beast pen, the Earth Walking Dragon stood up, and its body was like a mountain, almost occupying the entire space!

"Hey, this guy is very clever."

"Come here, come here, big guy, I've brought you your favorite food......"

……

In the tavern, it is still lively, and adventurers tell bizarre stories.

Kill monsters, find potions, and practice skills.

No one realizes that right around them, an amazing big thing is about to happen.

Allen and the others talked about some recent mysterious and strange events from the Gwent card, and finally talked about mounts. Allen's wealth of knowledge of animal taming once again convinced everyone.

And it was completely dark.

"Brother Allen has really seen people, and today's conversation is very pleasant. There are strict rules in the knight's camp, and I should go back now, and we will meet again when we have time, especially the few things mentioned earlier, and please let me know if there is any progress. Cayton was the first to get up.

He added: "Brother Allen's physical condition is very special, and it seems to be a good thing at the moment. We in Berkeley have had a friendship with a dragon senior, and if I have the chance, I'll ask him about you. ”

Hearing this, Alan thanked gratefully: "It's not too early, let's disperse." ”

Everyone was already having fun, and there was no objection to this, and they retrieved the dragon all the way.

Before the tavern, Alan and the others said goodbye to the Cayton Dragon Knight again.

The giant wolf stood next to the huge Earth Walking Dragon and howled a few times.

I don't know why, the earth walking dragon seems to be a little impatient, and he keeps wearing rough clothes, knowing that Cayton stretched out his big hand, slapped it a few times, and continued to appease, so he calmed down a little.

For such a scenario, Alan couldn't help but pay more attention.

"Brother Cayton, thank you for your support today, no matter what, I have a word to remind you, you must pay attention to everything that happens around you, be careful!"
