Partridge birds are common in the southern part of the Fernandes, especially in the area of Mount Helga-Grand Pudding, and can always hear partridges in the bushes on summer nights, so it is not surprising that the guards heard Duran's partridge sound.

When Durán was working at Bergen Manor, he had studied partridge language with Chloe, a young girl who was a psychic herself—a strange profession that was not common on the continent of Fanan, and was usually found among ancient druids, a talent that is rarely possessed by ordinary humans.

Psychics are born with the ability to communicate with a wide variety of animals, unlike druids or rangers and hunters who rely on their training to live in harmony with animals, all abilities of psychics are innate. As far as Duran knows, Chloe can communicate with three animals, namely a python, a partridge bird, and a wetland blue-tailed scorpion, and using the sound of a partridge to convey some simple meanings is a covert and effective way.

There is a tall cypress tree on the west side of the Bergen Manor, and the cypress trees are planted outside the wall, but in the summer there are always many branches deep into the wall, and on the surface, Duran could have climbed this cypress tree and entered the Bergen Manor.

But Duran clearly remembered that behind this cypress tree were some of Andrew's most loyal hounds, and if he rushed in, he would definitely be spotted by the hounds and quickly torn to pieces. The only person in the entire Burgen Manor who could order these hounds to calm down was Chloe.

As a psychic, all animals have an innate affection for her, and if not fully communicate, at least a little soothing.

Duran climbed the tall cypress tree, and he weighed so light that even the tiniest branches could bear his weight.

Standing on the branches of the cypress trees, Duran could take in the western view of the manor, and the hounds barked uneasily in the darkness, as if they were aware of Duran's presence, which made Duran secretly glad that he had not rushed in recklessly.

Minutes and seconds passed, and about half an hour later, a dog barked suddenly.

Duran's spirit was shocked, and he could vaguely see a figure trotting towards him with a skirt.

"It's Chloe."

"Shhh......hh

"Duran, is that you?"

Chloe whispered to the shadow of the cypress tree on the wall, "I heard that you stole my uncle's primordial vial of eternity, what gave you such audacity?" ”

Duran lifted the branches and leaves in front of him, revealing a young and immature face: "Hello Miss Chloe, I don't think you will lose your temper with me because of this?" ”

Seeing that Duran was indeed hiding in the cypress tree, Chloe couldn't help but smile lightly: "Your partridge language is good at learning, and your courage has become a lot, shouldn't you have behaved in the manor before?" ”

Duran smiled bitterly and said: "I almost lost my life several times, if all this is acting, then my acting skills and luck should be scored ninety-nine." ”

Chloe put away her smiling expression, then looked around vigilantly, and said quickly, "Then what is the matter with you coming to me?" I've learned from my dear uncle that you're one of the blacks, right? ”

"Not yet," Durán corrected her, "Wait, you learned from your uncle...... Is he still safe and sound tonight? ”

"When I saw him at least twenty minutes ago, he just looked a little worse." Chloe said calmly: "I heard some news just now, which is not good for you...... Earlier tonight, some people did assassinate my uncle, but unfortunately failed. ”

"Failed!?" Duran's heart was cold, he stole the bottle of eternity, how could the plan that the teacher and others had been planning for a long time fail!?

"Do you black-clad people think that a dragonman mage with golden powers, coupled with a blood-burning oath knight, will die in a lame assassination? I've heard that there were three people who attacked, the Assassin with the Golden Power, and a Warlock and another Assassin, all with only the Silver Power. Such a lineup on other nights does have the potential to kill Andrew's surname...... Unfortunately, a knight from the Legion of the Burning Oath has secretly visited tonight, and your defeat is justified. Chloe sighed with a hint of pity: "How nice it would be if you succeeded...... Since my aunt's death, my situation has become more and more dangerous, and I may have to find a way to escape in a few days. ”

"The teacher's assassination failed? How could there be a Legion of Bloodoath knights in Bergen Manor!? Duran held the branch tightly, and the violent mood swings lasted only a second, and then he became extremely calm: "What happened to those assassins?" ”

Andrew, as a gold-level mage, and Mr. Duran, as a golden assassin, should be sure to assassinate. But with one more Legion of the Burning Blood Oath Legion, the situation will be very different, the Burning Blood Oath Legion is a strong force stationed in the northern part of the empire, and all the knights within the Legion have undergone the purest dragon blood contract baptism, and their strength is far stronger than that of masters of the same level.

Bergen Manor had not had much contact with the northern dragonman nobles, and Duran could never have imagined such a change.

"What if you know what will happen to them? Duran, I'm impressed by your actions tonight, but I still want to advise you to get out of here early. The black-clothed people have been active in the south for too long, and the upper echelons of the empire have long been secretly watching, and your situation will become more and more dangerous day by day......" Chloe pulled the hem of her skirt and said: "The black-clothed people can't be the opponents of the empire, since the gods no longer favor the Finan continent, those twelve evil dragons will be invincible in the world, and your efforts will eventually turn into broken empty dreams." ”

"Miss Chloe, thank you for your kindness." Duran looked at him intently, and Chloe under the wall didn't know that the young man in the cypress tree contained a noble soul from another world. He said, "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet?" Chloe was a little surprised, the young man in front of her, she once thought she knew his heart very well, but tonight he seemed to be a little different.

The dreams, enthusiasm and persistence of that kind of young man are still there, but there seems to be something more.

Chloe looked curiously at Duran hidden in the branches and leaves of the cypress tree, his dark eyes were like black pearls that could not be erased in the night, and at this moment, Chloe suddenly understood what was more in Duran.

This kind of thing is called self-confidence.

Chloe smiled and said, "Okay Duran, you can try to explain it first." ”

Duran said quickly: "Within half a month, I will definitely cut off Andrew's head with my own hands." Do you believe it or not? ”

Chloe was stunned for a moment, then shook her head decisively: "I don't believe it." ”

Duran smiled slightly: "Look, this is our bet." If I win, please come with me, I need your help; If I fail in my assassination attempt and die at Andrew's hands, you will forgive poor Duran for breaking his promise......"

Chloe listened quietly, becoming more and more curious about where the young man in front of her came from with confidence, and after listening to Duran's statement, she thought for a while and said:

"It's an unfair bet, but I accept it. The three people you were looking for had already been taken away by the knight of the Legion of the Burning Blood Oath. It is said that he tied the three men to a carriage and was driven by an experienced coachman, who would leave White Sands overnight for Grand Pudding City. If you black-clad people want to rescue the three of them, the best time to do so is on the road, and once you enter the Great Pudding City, you will have no chance. ”

"Is it a master of golden power?" Duran listened carefully and asked, "How long ago did he set off?" ”

Chloe shrugged: "About an hour before I came back, they took the official road. ”

"Thank you, Miss Chloe." Duran gradually had a rough plan in mind.

Chloe smiled sweetly: "If you can really cut off my damn uncle's head, I will consider joining the black-clothed people, believe me, my talent is very useful." ”

Duran nodded, and after the two said goodbye, he stopped lingering near Bergen Manor, and climbed the western foot of Heorga Mountain again in the night.

Chloe's news should be no problem, the teacher and others failed to assassinate Andrew, and was escorted to Grand Pudding City by the knights of the Burning Blood Oath, this result made Duran feel very tricky, but he was not completely impossible.

The most unfortunate thing is that Duran is not a black-clothed crowd at the moment, and he doesn't know the contact information of the black-clothed people, so he can only single-handedly complete the rescue before the knight escorts the teacher to the Great Pudding City. If it were the previous boy, I am afraid that this would be an almost impossible task, after all, he did not even have the power of gray iron now, and it was impossible for ten level 7 assassin apprentices to defeat a master of golden power.

But Duran is different, he knows countless important information about the legend of the night, and he knows all about Mount Helga.

When he closed his eyes, a topographical map of the western side of Mount Helga came to his mind.

The town of Baisha is located at the foot of the western foothills of Helga Mountain, and topographically, this area should be a small basin. The official road is to walk around the western foot of Helga Mountain, first walk to the west for a long time, and then turn north, bypassing the West Mountain Pass, so as to reach the Great Pudding City.

But Duran knew there was a shortcut that would cross the western foothills of Mount Helgar and reach the West Pass before the Blood-Burning Oath Knight and the carriage carrying the teacher. Known as the "Withered Trail" by the residents of Baisha Town, the trail is said to be dangerous and is guarded by devils and countless monsters.

Only Duran knew that there were only two places on the wither trail that were dangerous, one was the Ogre Canyon, a level 20 copy in the game; The other is called the Flame Lair, which is the spawn point for the Monster Fire Lizard.

Flame lizards are good at concealment, their attacks are very strong, and ogres are not easy to mess with, and if ordinary people want to pass this withering path safely, they need at least five silver power masters to form a group.

But in order to rescue the teacher and two other black-clad people, Duran has no choice.
