Xiao Mu has had a hard time these days. In the three days since the Courier left the team, the Special Dispatch team was once again attacked by multiple rounds of beasts. Fortunately, everyone has increased their vigilance and has not been disturbed by the sudden attack of the beasts, and the team members are so strong that they have successfully killed most of the beasts.

However, Xiao Mu, a noble scholar, is tired enough, the blessing technique is essentially a magical spell that relies on his own spiritual power to release magic power, but if the caster is a mage who is not very advanced, such as Xiao Mu, he has to cast the spell many times in a short period of time, and the result is that Xiao Mu, who has been tired and paralyzed, has to be carried forward by two Kaman guards on a simple stretcher.

Kester walked next to Xiao Mu, looked at Xiao Mu who sighed, and said with a smile, "How is it, tell me what it feels like to be mentally overdrawn?"

Xiao Mu replied weakly, "You can still laugh, I only have one feeling now, that is, there are 10,000 needles piercing my head." ”

Saity, who was walking in front of him, turned around at this time and said to Xiao Mu, "The overdraft of mental power is not terrible in itself, but it will promote the growth of spiritual power." It's just that after each overdraft, it will be a little more difficult, and the pain will be very strong. However, because of your blessing technique, Mu Gongzi, there are many fewer seriously injured in our team. ”

As for the statement of Setie, who also knows how to use magic, Kerst still trusts it. Hearing her say this, I was relieved. Xiao Mu did a really good job, during and after the battle, he cast the blessing spell many times, and some of the injured guards were quickly restored to their original state with the help of magic.

The terrain of the Sunset Mountains is not flat, but rather ravines, and in the days after the snow falls, the ground is muddy as the ground is wet with melted snow. The team moved forward one foot deeper, one foot shallow.

While Kerst and Mu were chatting, Green and Kuigang were still in the lead. On this day, the red sun is about to set again, and the dark night of the Sunset Mountains is coming.

"Chief, Chief. Green was about to look for tonight's camp when a hunter came running up to him, one of Clay's men, scouting the way ahead.

"What's wrong?" Green asked.

"Chief Lord, we met two civilians in front. Master Clay asked me to report on it, and they'll be right over. ”

"Two civilians, are they adventurers?"

"Not really, I can't say. Chief, you see they're coming!"

Sure enough, in the woods ahead, Clay emerged, followed by two civilians in black robes. Both of them were not very tall, they did not carry any weapons, and their robes were neither new nor old.

One of them seemed to have a bad leg and limped when he walked. Looking at these two people, Green always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't think of anything wrong. Clay didn't send any warning signals, but led the two to Green's face. Green had no choice but to put aside the doubts in his heart for a moment and meet him.

"Hello, lord. The man in black in the lead, bent down and bowed, facing Green and Kuigang.

"I'm not Lord Lord, I'm the chief hunter of the Adventurers' Guild, Green, this is the wasteland warrior Kuigang of Desik, and next to you is Clay, the hunter of the Kaman Adventurers' Branch. Green waved his hand, interrupting the greeting from the man in black.

The man in black looked at Green blankly. It was a young face, extremely thin-looking, with a pair of slender palms, slender but also slender.

Green immediately noticed that this person's saluting hand was indeed too impressive, with brown-red hair, typical of the Nine Nations Business Alliance. The other person who followed the man in black walked with a limp and his back slightly raised. His eyes looked around blankly, and he also had brown-red hair, probably after walking in the mountains for too long, and the tips of his hair were soaked with sweat. His face was extremely pale, and his lips trembled.

I guess where did the countrymen come from, begging for food in the Sunset Mountains. Green made a judgment in his heart.

"Hunter, are you hunting?" the man in black asked.

Green couldn't help but want to laugh, hearing himself talk about hunters, these two people thought of themselves as hunters, and they were really countrymen with little knowledge. However, he patiently explained to them, "No, we are adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild, and we have come to the Sunset Mountains to investigate the beasts. Got it?"

"Oh, beast. The man in black understood, "Yes, the beasts here have not been peaceful and fierce lately. ”

"Who the hell are you guys and why are you here?" Green continued to ask the Man in Black.

The man in black paused and replied, "We are from the Kaman Kingdom, I am a herbalist, my name is Tucker, and this is my assistant. He was a hearing-impaired person, and he didn't listen to the words of the Qing Adult. We live in a small village on the edge of the Sunset Mountains all year round, collecting herbs and plants from the Sunset Mountains. ”

"Herb Man?" said the Grinch .

"Yes, we dig herbs from the Sunset Mountains, mainly some herbs that can heal injuries and illnesses. We dig them out and nurture them, and then sell them to the merchants who buy them. The man in black continued to explain, then took out a few herbs from the backpack behind his back, and Green looked at them carefully and recognized them as herbs for making hemostatic agents. Since this is the case, Green also dispelled his suspicions, but still whispered, "The Sunset Mountain Range has not been very peaceful recently, you should be careful when you move here." ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord, for the reminder. Our sheriff has sent us a notice. However, we live on herbs, and there are a few kinds of herbs that the merchant urges can only be found in winter, so we have to brave the snow into the mountains. But fortunately, there is my assistant, although his actions are more ugly, but it is the sequelae of the illness he got when he was a child, and he is used to being active in the mountains all year round. ”

Green stared at the man in black's assistant and saw him looking around with an innocent blank expression. Sure enough, he was deaf and couldn't hear anything. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything more, Green glanced at Kuigang, who shook his head slightly, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

"Alright then, you guys hurry back. We also want to move on. Green saluted the two of them, then motioned for Clay to take them away.

This vignette didn't waste much of the team's time. While Green and the others were asking, Carman's guards had already begun to set up camps, and Koster helped Xiao Mu to find a flat place to sit down, the two didn't want to say a word, they didn't even have any idea of eating dry food, they just wanted to have a good rest.

When night fell, everyone lit a bonfire. Green assigned the personnel of the night vigil, and then came to rest by the campfire with Kui Gang, several key members of the dispatch team were nearby, everyone discussed the follow-up itinerary, and almost felt that the investigation task was basically like this, and if it dragged on, there would not be too valuable goals, and the team's physical morale was close to the limit.

Especially the great nobles of the Principality of Kaman, like Xiao Mu, were also exhausted, and they couldn't let him suffer any damage here, so everyone decided whether to end the two days and then return. Kerst listened to everyone's meaning and felt relaxed all of a sudden, and wanted to discuss it with Xiao Mu beside him, but when he looked back, Xiao Mu had actually fallen asleep deeply, and after a few clicks, the snoring sound came out.

"Let him sleep, tired of the boy. Green said comfortingly. After chatting for a while, the drowsiness grew stronger, and Green got up to look around again, when suddenly, Setie, who was sitting in the corner, exclaimed, "Isn't that right?"

Setie, a sorceress from San Jose's court, didn't talk much along the way, only occasionally discussing a few words with everyone, and rarely participated in decisions when it came time to make them. It had always been that she did what Green said. At the campfire just now, Setie didn't say anything, but just as she exclaimed just now, everyone was awakened in an instant. Green, who had just gotten up, stopped and asked Setie, "Mage Setie, what's going on?"

Setie patted her head and continued, "Chief, I suddenly remembered one thing, the two people we met before dark were not easy. ”

"What do you mean?" Green asked.

"Their hands, something is wrong, the young man, his hands. Before Setie finished speaking, Kuigang next to him interjected, "His hands are too clean!"

Sei turned his head to look at Kui Gang and nodded firmly, "You're not wrong, a herb man, digging herbs in such a bad weather, his hands are too clean!"

Koster, who was listening to them next to him, was also stunned, thinking that it made sense. When I looked at these two people just now, I really didn't pay attention to this. Setie was right next to her, and she actually saw such a detailed thing, but when she thought about it, she said it was no problem at all.

Green didn't speak, but after a long silence, he did seem to agree with Setty and Quegand. Everyone is a smart person, although they didn't notice it for a while, but once someone reported it, the rest of the people quickly figured it out. Although the two ordinary people are not the focus of this investigation, the inexplicable lies of these two people always make people feel quite suspicious.

Setie held up her hands and continued, "Look at my hands. Kerst looked carefully at Setie's hands, because she was a sorceress, so he hadn't paid attention to her hands before, and when he looked at them, he saw that they were slender, pale, clean hands. "That man in the afternoon, his hands seem to be like this."

Green narrowed his eyes, "Clean, slender, pale, this is your magician's hand?"

"That's right," Setie continued, "our hand needs to cast spells, so it's well maintained all year round, and the hand that casts spells needs to be flexible, so we also look at the length of our fingers when choosing a successor. If you don't believe it, you can take a look at Mu Gongzi's. ”

Sure enough, Xiao Mu, who was sleeping ignorantly next to him, also had a pair of slender and clean hands.

Kerst immediately understood what Setie was talking about. Those two people just now, there is a problem, it is still related to magic!

Realizing that there was of course not only one person who had come over, Green suddenly stood up, stuffed his finger into his mouth, and whistled, and all the hunters around him immediately woke up and sat up, "Chief Lord, what's wrong?"
