"Uh-huh-" There was a moan from under several layers of thick wet cloth, and not far away, the official of the Tutkel Commercial Republic was watching the scene with his hands on his chest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The interrogator, who was severely impeded in breathing, struggled with all the strength to feed. But no matter how much effort he spent, he couldn't help his situation.

Because the attacker, who was fixed to the teak interrogation chair, both his arms and legs were firmly tied with cow tendon ropes.

As he struggled, the water-soaked tendon rope tightened tighter and tighter. In a few moments, two deep purple marks were cut on the ambusher's wrist.

Just as the struggle was about to disappear, the interrogator, who had been watching the play with his chest crossed, immediately stepped forward and lifted the wet cloth covering his face. The interrogator, who had finally seen the light of day, immediately let out a loud gasp of breath - greedily breathing in the turbid air around him.

"How? Willing to say it? The rest is not so simple. The inquisitor slapped his palm with a damp cloth with a non-smirk, "Maybe you like me tying this thing in a knot and shoving it down your throat." ”

I said...... I said...... "Having just gone through a test of hovering on the brink of death, the interrogated assailant wisely chose to cooperate."

Similar incidents are constantly playing out in the sheriff's office in Wilboshaven, where even the hard-hitting man can be squeezed out of the juice in the hands of the professionals. It didn't take long for them to shake out what they knew like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

"Briarley's steward was actually taken away by those guys." Mage Murphy sighed after confirming the news, "Does he know some secret that we don't know?" ”

"Whatever the purpose of those guys in taking Briarley's body, we must report the matter to Lord Earl at once. Even if there is something we don't know, there will be a record of it in the territory. The Morpheus Knight stared at Mage Murphy as he said this, as if he was urging the other party to hurry up and contact the territory.

Don't think that if the other party took the body of Briarley's steward, it would be fine. In the presence of true Necronomicon spellcasters, it is far easier for a corpse to speak the truth than a living person. Moreover, the space props that are dedicated to carrying dead corpses are far less expensive to produce than the general-purpose ones. Therefore, turning the target person into a corpse and taking it away has become a feasible solution.

Barrett, who was standing behind the door, also understood: "But I haven't heard any further plans against us from them, which is a blessing in misfortune." ”

"It's a pity that the middle and high-level of the ambushers have already escaped through teleportation spells, and they don't know where to flee. The highest status is still the one left by Barrett, your kid, and if there is really any big conspiracy, they may not be clear. But the Morpheus Knight was not taken lightly.

"Anyway, we can't stay in the business republic of Tutkel and wait until this matter is investigated." Barrett shrugged, "In that case, we might as well hurry back to the territory." If there's any action against Boreham Collar, we can help. ”

"That's it! Barrett, you don't have to comfort us, we've seen that happen a lot. We should go back when we need to, and that doesn't affect our decision. Mage Murphy smiled and nodded at Barrett, and then he felt something knock on his chest.

Although the hearts of Barrett and others were heavy for the death of Brierley's steward and those members of the envoys. But that didn't affect the time of the Boreham fleet - Captain Caplin's preparations proceeded in an orderly manner, as if they were riveting a schedule.

When the Morpheus Knight and his party left the harbor for reinforcements, Captain Caplin's caution was useless - the strength of the previous ambush envoy was now no longer capable of fighting in two places after investing so much force.

But no one thinks it's a waste of effort. Don't look at it now, but if you are attacked when you are not prepared, the damage will definitely be much worse than the delayed work. Fortunately, the previous preparations were almost underway, and the three frigates, the Silver Sword Brave, the Mithril Core, and the Iron Curtain, finally set off on the third day after the attack.

Having completed its work, Boreham's fleet returned north, and although all three frigates suffered considerable losses on this journey, they did not disappoint the Earl. The cooperation between the Boreham Territory and the Merchant Republic of Tutkel had begun before they left, and the great benefits that came with it would make it continue for a long time.

Barrett, who sat in the cabin, looked at the personal loot he had won from the battle three days earlier. He first rubbed the delicate string of gold leaves in his hand—and as he fell asleep, he closed his hands, and the gold leaves were layered on top of each other, and finally became a thick pocket book.

'It's rare to see a spell book in this shape. The guy I slaughtered actually used it as a belt, and I really don't know what kind of psychology he had? Thinking of this, Barrett threw the spell book into the space bag.

The mage's magic books are all sorts of strange ones, and in addition to the common brick books, there are also types such as slate or leather scrolls. It's not a strange type that this kind of gold leaf has appeared right now. Generally speaking, spell books with special forms like this one are basically protected by spells. The average person simply can't read its contents, let alone master its special effects.

Fortunately, among the personnel involved in the operation this time, there are arcane masters like Mage Murphy. Barrett handed over all the loot he had obtained to him for screening and identification. Of course, there must be a fee for this kind of work, but fortunately, Mage Murphy has a lot of interest in the spells that exist in this spell book. So Barrett's purse will not be completely emptied.

Through Mage Murphy's identification, Barrett knew that the spellbook contained four 5-ring spells, 'Breaking the Enchantment', 'Expulsion', 'Lesser Otherworldly Oath', and 'Assassin's Squire', as well as a larger number of 4-ring and 3-ring spells.

Among them, 'Breaking the Enchantment', 'Expulsion Technique', and 'Inferior Otherworldly Oath' are all relatively common types of spells, which are widely spread on the Western Continent, and it is not too difficult to learn. But the 'Assassin Squire' spell was so rare that even Mage Murphy was quite happy when he saw it.

According to Master Murphy's explanation, Barrett knew that the 'Assassin Squire' was also known as the Light Assassin. The caster is able to summon a vague humanoid being made of yellow light, wielding a glowing dagger and moving in an elegant but eerie manner.

First, the Glittering Assassin appears on top of a single creature within the spell radius, and it falls from above with a ferocious stab - the Assassin attacks as it falls, and the target creature is caught off guard for the first attack.

The Assassin will then be in any position next to the target creature that can accommodate it. After the initial attack, it can launch a series of attacks on the target, and more importantly, it can fight intelligently without the caster's command.

Eventually, if the creature escaped, the Assassin would pursue the target in the most effective way. If a creature dies or leaves the spell's range, the Assassin will stop and wait for the caster to designate another creature as a new target.

However, the user cannot order the Assassin to do anything other than attack the mob and stand by, nor can he order the Assassin to attack other creatures while the target is alive and within spell range. The Assassin and his equipment will disappear at the end of the spell's duration.

According to Mage Murphy, although it is a 5-ring spell, the creature that can be summoned by the 'Assassin Squire' spell is only equivalent to challenging a human wanderer at level 3 or so. It's unlikely that you'll want to use him head-on.

But even with all the problems, this summoning spell with a short cast time can still work wonders on specific occasions. Especially when used against other spellcasters, there is a chance to buy yourself a certain amount of time.

Not to mention the mage's desire for novel spells. Even if it's a useless spell, as long as it belongs to them that they haven't learned, there will always be mages who are willing to spend money to learn it. So this spell can not only be learned by Rielly, but also sold to the family in exchange for some contributions, and Barrett has confirmed from Georgie that this spell is not in the family's treasury.

Of course, the spellbook of that special form is not just a record of most of the spells mastered by the spellcaster. It's a pretty good curiosity in its own right. Once a day, activating it makes spells performed by the caster harder to exempt. It's a simple and practical ability.。

However, in comparison, the necklace possessed by the caster was more valuable in terms of the effect of a strange object alone. When the user activates the effect of the necklace once a day, they are able to fill their lungs with spinning, burning energy.

Then, with a powerful exhalation, the user can sweep the space in front of them with a fierce cone-shaped flame. As the last wisp of energy leaves his lips, the user's body becomes part of this spitting weapon, which allows you to cross space and reconstruct your body anywhere within the range of this spitting weapon.

The user can shoot out a cone of flame that deals 8-48 ignition damage, and when using this spell, he can also choose to become part of a Spit weapon and teleport instantly to any unoccupied location within the Spitting Weapon's radius. and is not harmed in any way by that flame.

The user doesn't even have to be within full range of his breath, as long as his newly occupied space at least partially coincides with the range of the spitting weapon. Items he wears or carries that do not exceed the maximum weight limit teleported with him. However, it is not allowed to carry any other creatures.

This is a special effect that combines movement and damage. Although the effect of the two is limited, if the two are combined, it can still have a very good effect. This strange object alone is worth a lot of cash, and more importantly, Barrett thinks it should be able to replace his comfortable cape.

Although Barrett has a lot of displacement abilities of his own, these are based on the effect of quick action. In any case, it is a traceable entity charge, and the teleportation effect caused by this strange object can cover up Barrett's shortcomings when necessary. Not to mention that its flame breath can also make up for Barrett's lack of group injury ability to a certain extent.

In fact, if it weren't for the caster who had been slaughtered by Barrett, he wouldn't have reacted at the time. Otherwise, this strange object alone might have been able to escape from Barrett's blade - after all, he had so many targets to choose from in the previous environment. If this guy pulls away, Barrett may not be in hot pursuit.

However, it seems that so much money has been invested in this cloak, so that there is nothing decent left on the guy's body except for an intellectual headpiece. Of course, there were a lot of consumables like scrolls and potions, but there were not many things to use for Barrett.

As for the other spellcaster who was captured by Barrett. After being looted by Barrett, he surrendered to the Tutkel cavalry as soon as possible, and expressed his willingness to join the system of the Tutkel merchant republic.

On the other hand, of course, the caster wants the merchant republic of Tutkel to pay for him to redeem his go-to items. Of course, this money is not allocated for free, and he will rely on his own endowment to pay off the arrears in the next time.

Eventually, after some wrangling, the caster had to accept a loan interest rate of fifteen percent per annum. The Merchant Republic of Thutkel quickly redeemed Barrett's curiosities, consumables, and spellbooks for his money.

But the price of the ransom! Naturally, it is lower than the market price of those items. However, considering the cooperation between the two sides, Barrett still accepted this 'alliance price'. As a member of the Boreham family, Barrett should still show some sincerity.

Of course, Barrett was not to be taken advantage of in vain, and he decisively gave up cash in favor of those in-demand luxury goods that were special to the Tutkel commercial republic. When you bring these things back to Bolham Territory, you will almost be able to make up for the previous losses.

However, the business republic of Tuttkel also valued the attitude shown by Boreham, and Barrett personally played a little ninety-nine and they didn't care at all. (To be continued.) )
