Chapter 2235: Warrior Legacy (9)

"Arthur, be careful! that might be a trap!" Bediwell reminded. Seeing the sudden appearance of a familiar scenery in front of him, he became even more vigilant.

"No, it's not a trap. The Knight King suddenly understood something: "I understand." This is the route used to escape. ＂

Bedivel frowned: "Huh?"

"Come along, Bediwell. It's time to go back. The Knight King did not explain much, but boldly walked up and reached out to touch the slit of light that reflected the view of Penzance Harbour.

Then, the blonde boy's body also turned into light and disappeared in an instant.

The next second, as his vision recovered from the bright light, he found himself back on one of the small piers in Port Penzance, which was haunted by mist.

"Is it really some kind of portal...... Another golden light fell beside the blonde boy, flashing for a moment and darkening the next, and the image of the great white wolf of Bediwell appeared. He believed Arthur unreservedly, followed him to touch the slit of light, and teleported here.

"No, it's not so much a portal as it is a teleportation beam, similar to the teleportation beam system used on your Aurora. However, this teleportation beam is faster and more advanced. The Knight King analyzed: "So that is really the escape route, after sending the pilot of the Dragon Golem to the miniature version of the Avalonian Pure Land, let the driver choose which coordinate to escape to next." ＂

"Is it necessary to do this, if it is just an escape, it would be nice to only designate a safe area as a coordinate. ＂

"I'm afraid, for the driver of that golem, it's necessary. Arthur replied emotionlessly, "For example, when the whole world is engulfed in [darkness] and there are few safe places to escape." It was a golem made by the ancient gods and people, and it was placed in the same place as the King's Sword, and it was believed that it was a weapon used to fight [darkness], which should be very close to the truth. The ancient gods and human races expected that the entire earth would be eroded by darkness and a large area, and it was naturally reasonable to have this level of safety measures to make up for the bottom. ＂

"So ------," Bediwell was about to say something, but suddenly his ears moved, and he stopped talking with a "shhh

Someone is approaching.

"Hmph...... Arthur also saw several figures at the end of the harbor, in the mist. Those people may have been lured by the teleportation beam that the two of them had just used. Despite the high performance of the beam, the transmission speed is fast and low-key, but it still produces two golden rays of light that pierce the sky in this dark night. No matter how small that light is, it may be caught by some person with extraordinary eyesight on a night like this.

In other words, the person who will rush over to check the situation must also be a powerful character, most likely someone from the Holy See Crusaders. It's not good to be bumped into by such a guy, the Crusaders are very sensitive to things like magic and witchcraft, and maybe they will catch Arthur and interrogate him.

"Bedi, let's go. Keep it low-key. Arthur snorted. Fortunately, the fog of Penzance Port in the middle of the night has become their most powerful cover, and Bediwell's eyesight at night also has an advantage over the other party, so it should not be difficult to get rid of these people who are tracking.

The two of them quickly escaped the decaying wooden plank of the dock, which had been eroded by the tide, and hid in a dilapidated house with no one on the side. Arthur had wanted to slip through the shadows of the dilapidated house into the slum bungalow next to him, but the great white wolf grabbed him. Because the guys who rushed over just now were already too close, it was easier for Mu Ran to be seen when he ran out.

"Hmph, is there a mistake. The light just now should have fallen near here. "There were three figures, led by a thin and short young man, who was dressed in light equipment, and except for a few short daggers, he was wearing light leather armor with little defense and close to nothing, so he ran faster than his companions.

Arthur, who was hiding in a dilapidated house and secretly observing everything, was relieved to see this man's behavior. It was by no means the formal attire of the Crusaders of the Holy See, and there was no such thing as a thief-like figure in the Crusaders. It seems that the group that rushed over was more likely to be some kind of group of adventurers, maybe mercenaries or thieves. Penzance was originally a city with a complex flow of goods (even in Arthur's original world!), because it was a port, and countless fleets of large and small merchant groups came and went every day, some of them would hire all kinds of adventurers as the bodyguards of the fleet, and there would also be various bands of thieves who would go to fight the cargo of the fleet. It's not wrong to say it's a dangerous and sinful city, but equally, it's full of opportunities to get ahead------ exploring the Warrior's Grave is just one of the many opportunities.

So, these hyena-like creatures really saw the golden light that pierced the sky just now, and thought that some treasure had fallen from the sky, so they rushed over to check what was going on. If that's the case, it's fine, Arthur rejoiced. These people may be just greedy adventurers or thieves, and they are all small characters that are easy to deal with...... Right?

However, when the fellows of the guy dressed as thieves arrived, Arthur knew he was naïve. The man who was the first runner was dressed as a thief, but one of his companions was a man of modest armor and carrying a cross-sword, clearly a warrior, while the other was a tall, slender and even effeminate woman, dressed in a black velvet robe and holding a wooden staff, and looked like a mage.

Arthur didn't see any clues about the warrior, after all, a warrior is a warrior, and there was nothing to say. But the woman dressed as a mage is probably a troublesome character. During this era, the Holy See's sphere of influence was already quite large, and the Holy See sent heretical inquisitors all over Europe to hunt witches and wizards, causing a lot of influence. Although England (Great Britain) is still in a grey area, the Holy See does not have a great influence in the country. But it took a lot of courage for the woman to walk down the street in such a grand manner. What if she accidentally became a witch and was caught and burned at the stake by the Inquisitor?

Therefore, according to Arthur's analysis, the woman either has absolute strength and is not afraid of the encirclement of the heretical inquisitor, or she has extraordinary connections and social influence, which can make her easily get out of troubled situations. Anyway, she can be considered a bad character anyway.

After the two men caught up, there seemed to be a figure shaking in the distance. Arthur also saw that what appeared to be a team of three people was actually a team of four, and there was also an archer or ranger-like figure who was ambushing and guarding in the distance, but would not easily join the main team members. The choreography of the team members is quite professional and refined, not at all like an improvised team of adventurers for the purpose of treasure hunting.

In other words, this group of people must be members of an organization, either a team of mercenaries or a gang of thieves.

"Nothing, Bordeaux?" said the big man dressed as a warrior, "let's run for nothing in the middle of the night?"

"It's weird, according to Krakow's monitoring, it should have landed around here. The thin man dressed as a thief called Bordeaux replied: "[The wise man] prophesied that the golden light would bring us fortune, but did not explain what it was. If it's a treasure that fell from the sky, it's easy to find. However, if the characters who were transferred here using some witchcraft and magic spell, they will move as soon as they arrive, and they will not necessarily stay where they are. ＂

"So, still believing the old man's prophecy, you're a fool. The big man said casually, but he was not idle------ he was looking around the ground for possible footprints of passers-by, trying to track Arthur's whereabouts.

Arthur frowned. Fortunately, when he left the dock, he did a thorough job of removing the traces, so that no clues would be found.

"Don't bother, Hanover. Only then did the woman dressed as a mage say, "When the other party left, he erased the traces left behind him. Looks like he's supposed to be a cautious guy. But there are indeed people here, and the breath left by people is still wafting in this space. It shouldn't be left for more than ten minutes. ＂

Arthur was shocked. That woman is really dangerous!

"Since Nantes said so, there should be no mistake. The big man named Hanover snorted, "Milan, have you found anything?"

"Nothing. A faint voice came from the shadows in the distance, presumably the archer who was hiding. Although the sound source was very far away, it sounded very clear, and I don't know what special sound transmission technology was used.

And by this time, Arthur seemed to have heard some clues. These people do not use their real names when they call each other, and the names of some European cities are pseudonyms that they have agreed to use among themselves. Even the names are hidden with specific code names, which proves that this group of people does have a considerable degree of organization and is a very professional team. Most of the thieves in the thieves' guild are some ruffians and hooligans, so there will be no such professional organization, and most of the time the thieves work alone, and they will not form such a team. Then after screening, there is a greater possibility that the mercenary remains. These people are most likely members of the Mercenary Guild, and they should also be a team with no low status in the union.

It's so troublesome to be targeted by such a guy. Another drop of sweat broke out from Arthur's forehead. At this time, it is better to wait and not move, and it is better to wait for these mercenaries to get tired of searching and leave on their own. The worst-case scenario is that Arthur and Bediwell are found hiding by these mercenaries, in which case it will become extremely troublesome to try to explain and excuse themselves.

Coo-goo-goo------

But the more Arthur didn't want to see what happened, the more it happened. The big white wolf beside the blonde boy suddenly let out a groan, not loud or small, but just enough to attract the attention of the group of mercenaries.

"You glutton, what do you have in your stomach in the middle of the night...... Arthur looked at Bediwell with an annoyed expression.

"Wang~?" the big white wolf looked at the blonde boy with an innocent expression.
