Chapter 67: Camp Mutation
The unexpected reunion in the mage tower reminded Master Crow of his youth.
At that time, himself with the fighter Cassidy? Lane is the two most powerful young people in the village, but one day, in order to pursue his mage ideal, Crow? Nadodi left his homeland and never returned. Since then, after many changes, people have gradually become older.
As soon as Dale entered the Mage Tower, she felt that Master Crow was very familiar, and after a long time of observation and thinking, she remembered that this Mage was her neighbor when she was a child.
Crowe excitedly asks Dale about how their family has been doing over the years. Daile told Uncle Crow how her father broke through the boundaries and became a third-order warrior, and how her brother grew up step by step.
The three of them sat in front of a small table, boiling hot tea. Some pastries, which are not too delicate, are solemnly placed on the table by Master Crow to entertain guests.
Daier said that her father had set up a mercenary group in recent years, and that he had completed many tasks because of the connections he had accumulated over the years.
"Okay, Brother Ryan has really realized his dream and become the leader of the mercenary group!" Crow looked very excited, and with a piece of pastry in his mouth, he said, "I can't sit still." ”
Dai Er smiled: "Didn't Uncle Dodi also realize his dream of becoming a mage, and being able to have his own mage tower in the Golden City is a very remarkable achievement." ”
Crowe? Na Dodi smiled and said, "More than ten years ago, I came here, and I am actually a first-order mage, and I am also young. At first, I ran into a wall at every turn, but then my mentor, an elderly second-order mage, took me in and made me his butler - and apprentice. ”
"He disappeared during an experience, and then I took charge of this place and became a second-order mage." Gen Crow said, "This is not an honorable thing, and I still can't find the existence of a teacher. ”
"I'm just going to shirk my responsibilities like I used to." Mage Crow had an embarrassed look on his face.
Alan said at this time: "You have retained the inheritance of the Mage Tower, which is the best explanation to Mr. Old Mage." ”
Crowe listened, sighed, and did not refute. If someone else said such a thing, Crow would only feel that the other person was defending himself. But Alan is different, after nearly half an hour of conversation, Crow is very clear that Allen's magic knowledge far exceeds his own. Allen's words, in Crowe's eyes, have a certain weight.
Allen's tone made Crow feel a little relieved, and the self-blame for the homeland and the old mage was gradually buried in his heart, with a hint of a smile, and he asked: "What is Mr. Allen's seeking for the water element elves?" ”
Mage Crow has now clarified Allen's identity and knows that this young man has recently become a warlock in the Golden City, but all of Mage Crow's knowledge of Eren comes from hearsay, and he can't help but be curious in the face of Eren himself.
Because of the old acquaintance between Dale and Master Crow, the two sides put down their estrangement at this time, sat down, and talked like friends. Therefore, Eren did not hide it either: "I plan to help one of my companions break through with the Water Elemental Spirit. She can be regarded as my female disciple. ”
"Oh." Crowe's eyes were full of surprise, "This female disciple is a mage or a warlock. ”
"Mage." Alan Dao.
"So, Mr. Allen knows a lot about how mages can break through?" Crow raised his tone.
Alan smiled, noncommittal, in fact, about how to break through the boundaries of the mage profession, Alan does know a lot, in his previous life, he had a hundred years of mage career, and he had carefully studied a lot of content about this mysterious profession, and naturally wrote down a lot of things.
Crow didn't know what Alan's smile meant, and seeing that the other party didn't answer, he didn't continue to ask.
Suddenly hearing the news of his old friend Ryan, Crow was particularly excited, and talked a lot with Miss Dale.
"You were only that old at the time, and I used to take you around a lot." Master Crow said excitedly, sometimes turning around and looking at his two mage apprentices, but there was a hint of sternness on his face.
Dale smiled: "Father is not in the Golden City due to a delay due to one thing now, but my brother will be back in the next two days, and I will tell him the news of Uncle Nadodi when the time comes." ”
"Really?" "It seems that Ryan is still as busy as before, like a lion ready to hunt animals. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Nadodi."
The rare conversation continued.
……
At the same time, north of the Golden City, Shirley and Ini had just set up their tents, and it was already dark, and there was a bonfire in front of the camp, boiling mushroom bone broth, and the white soup was constantly tumbling in the pot, and the aroma was overflowing. After several days of trekking, the two girls had gone deep into the forest.
The mechanical golem was expressionless, like a faithful guard, cruising around the camp. Blue ice butterflies generally live in cold valleys, and they can't do without the cold all year round, so Shirley and Shirley can only keep looking for them according to the map.
No one knew that dozens of miles away, a pair of centaurs were advancing rapidly in the darkness, making a noisy noise in the dark forest.
It was the same orc and assassin team that had left the Shadow Forest many days ago.
There were ten orcs in the team, dressed in heavy coarse cloth clothes, carrying broad broadswords and iron rods on their backs, and their breaths were strong, and among them there was a second-order warrior, leading the front of the group. At the back of the group, two dark elves rode small horses, following closely, their figures mingling with the night.
The group had only one mission: to track down and bring back the little slave who had escaped from the Bolton Mine a long time ago. This matter has been delayed for a long time, and Lilian has sent several waves of men to investigate, but there is still no result, and now it is time to make a decision. Who is it that dares to snatch the items that the demon has in his hands, he is really impatient.
A few months have passed since Alan fled the mine in the snow and ice years ago, and now in late March. The orcs traced their past trails, passing through the small town of Paraya, where they discovered the breath of the Northland wolf, but the wolf was not here.
No one expected that the giant wolves that Lillian sent to hunt down the miner slaves were still alive. If you're alive, why don't you come back to the village? Does that miner slave really have the ability to kill the orc team?
The doubtful orcs did not enter the human town to harass them, and according to the great Lillian's orders, there should be no trouble within this year. Following the breath of the giant wolves, the orcs and dark elves continued south.
And a few miles behind this team, a pretty figure followed not far away, and between the eyebrows, it was very similar to Miss Innie, it was her sister, Lan Ya. Ever since Lilian announced that the Dark Elf Village would continue to search for the slave miners, Lanya has been looking for an opportunity to leave the village.
Finally, in the afternoon, a new assignment was given, and Lilian asked Lanya to go to a duchy west of the Skad Mountains to lure a viscount and set up his own Abyss Altar in his domain. Lan Ya took the order, but instead of going west, he chased and killed several of his companions all the way and came to the south.
In the first place, her sister disappeared during a mission to track down the slaves in the mines, and no matter what, Lanya must determine her sister's whereabouts. As for his own mission, if he fails, he will fail, and the punishment of Lilian's master can not be worth his determination to die?
In the evening, continue south.
Shirley, who was eating with hot food, didn't realize that not far to her north, a strong team was approaching. The first time she went out to practice, everything in the forest made her feel novel, drinking hot soup and looking at the wonderful night sky in her eyes.
The air is still a little cold, and the stars are turning.
As for Ini, the assassin's professional habits made her vigilant in the wild, looking at the mechanical puppets wandering around from time to time, probably because of the weather, Ini stroked her arm from time to time, a little cold, always felt that something seemed to happen on this quiet night.
Soon, Ini's premonition came true.
The wolf howl in the forest made Ini's face change!
The voice that had been faintly scared for a long time still appeared, this was definitely not Mr. Allen's giant wolf, but from the orc village!
How did they come here!
"Shirley, let's go! An orc is coming, wolf-headed orc! Without thinking about it, Ini pulled Shirley and immediately hid in the night.
"Orcs?" Shirley hesitated for a while, but then realized the seriousness of the matter, holding the staff in her hand, no longer thinking about superfluous things, and closely following the steps of Sister Ini, choosing to hide in the forest.
Hohoo.
The mechanical golem seemed to sense the change in Shirley's heartbeat and followed behind him.
Above the camp, the campfire had not been extinguished, and the warm soup was still boiling.
I saw the northern giant wolf in the forest and was attracted.
Whew.
A kilometer away, the giant wolf at the head was the first to spot the firelight, and then the orcs on its back!
"There's a camp over there, with the smell of dark elves! Let's go, let's take a look! The second-order orc warriors led by him waved their hands again and again, and all the orcs, including the two dark elves, immediately changed the direction of travel before and looked at the camp where Shirley and Ini were stationed.
Came to the camp, no one.
"The soup is still hot, there are footprints on the ground, the other party is hiding from us, search!" The sharp nose of the leader of the orc moved, and in an instant he pointed out a direction, and the two orcs straddled their mounts and galloped out.
"Suffered!" Ini's face was bloodless, "Whether it's orcs or giant wolves, their noses are very sharp, we can't hide, Shirley, you take the mechanical puppet and flee quickly, go in the direction of the Golden City, if you can alarm the city guards, you will be safe!" ”
Innie couldn't stop pushing Shirley to the south.
"No, if I leave, Sister Yini will be in danger!" Shirley gripped the staff in her hand firmly.
"They came here, most likely to find Mr. Allen's whereabouts, you go quickly, go back and report the news, I am an assassin, it is easier to hide alone!" Ini said eagerly, in fact, the dark elf girl knew that she couldn't hide, but no matter what, she couldn't let Shirley be in danger!
