Chapter 283: Captured

Mei Mi called twice vividly.

"It turned out to be a cat," said one of the apprentices.

"Great," said another apprentice, "I brought small dried fish." ”

"You can't just carry that stinky stuff with you just because your mentor won't allow you to have a cat. ”

"Dried fish doesn't stink at all," said the apprentice, "much more fragrant than the cheese we had for breakfast." Come on, you can touch his head while I feed him. ”

Then they came around the corner.

This is illogical!The priest of Flo said in horror how could a vicious and wicked thief apprentice like a cat!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Let's move the clock forward a little bit.

Entering the current White Tower can be said to be easy or difficult.

Just like what the dwarf McGee heard from the merchants, there are very few serious merchants in the White Tower these days, but in a way, it can also be said to be a market, or half a black market, where all the Bullland Fortress or the rulers and administrators have not gone mad, and where there are still temples of Tyre and other good gods in the city, you can see them - evil spell-casting materials, dangerous forbidden potions, despicable weapons, humanoids, humanoids...... The reason why half of it is still left is because the priest of Rosada is still there.

The catastrophe caused by the purified water of the Sanctuary of Rosada has faded in the hearts of the inhabitants of the White Tower, or rather, something more terrible than it was then, so that the deep imprint that had left on the hearts of the inhabitants of the White Tower is no longer so vivid - they were once rich, but now their money is either stolen, robbed, or forcibly deprived by heavy taxes; But thieves will storm your house without fear and take your daughters and wives away, and if you have a little money left, you may be able to bring them back in a few days, but with either broken souls or bruised bodies, and you may not be able to redeem them a second time; But who dares to smile on the streets now? It's full of jackals with piercing eyes and sensitive ears, who always want to figure out the source of your happiness and snatch it away without hesitation.

They either managed to escape from the White Tower, or gradually gathered around the sanctuary in Rosada, where they felt safe and warm even if they were lying on the ground without a house, and the priests of Rosada gave them food and clean water, protected them, and repelled more than once thieves who tried to take away children and women. The soldiers of the lord, or rather the jackal that aided the abuse, would come to threaten and intimidate the civilians and priests almost every few days, and if it weren't for the last accident, the priests sent by the main courtyard of Rosada would have been more determined, pious and powerful than ordinary priests, and the last pure land in the White Tower would have been wiped out.

But this does not mean that the White Tower is dying, and to be precise, the White Tower is even more prosperous than it used to be. Even without the goods of the elves, it still has the allure to attract merchants to come at all costs.

Now the most popular thing about the White Tower is nothing else. It is a special kind of tobacco that, when lit, gives off a sweet fragrance that almost no other spice can match, and smoking it can also relieve pain and cure various diseases, if there is no smoke pipe. Then take a small part, soak it in water or mix it with food, the most regrettable thing is that it has a little toxicity, and some people who overdose have encountered misfortune, but it is not its fault. Isn't it?

Almost all of the fields around the Partridge Hill and the White Tower were cultivated with this tobacco, and the "Fine-Net" guilds controlled every line from seed to finished product, and they collected tobacco from serfs and commoners at extremely low prices, and then sold them at an equally cheap price, which was in fact not impossible to sell at a more expensive price, but unfortunately their leaders had said a long time ago that their first thing to do was to make sure that everyone had tasted this tobacco before.

Its gains are not in months, but in years.

The first to taste this tobacco and perceive the benefits were the mercenaries, who all had old wounds that were painful and tingling on rainy days, and they found that the pain that seemed to be able to tear the whole stomach was less pronounced when they were hungry.

Then there were serfs and some unscrupulous civilians.

No one noticed the growing popularity of this tobacco, only Ryette knew that more and more merchants came to buy it, and she also offered free tobacco in Flo's temple, which the priest claimed could turn an unreincapable man into a boar or a bear - look at the young men who would take the last coin from their parents, but there were so many men obsessed with the priest that who knew what they were sinking into? Is it Reverend Flo's plump embrace, or is it the sweet-smelling tobacco?

All the merchants who were willing to come to the White Tower to buy tobacco were welcome, they didn't enter the White Tower together as Gavin had planned, because their professions were so different, how do you explain a caravan with knights, mages, thieves, Rosada and Flo priests? Mei Mi entered alone as a wandering prostitute, although she had to give the guard a little honey, but the whole process was very smooth, the thieves who were strolling through the streets did come up to intercept her when they saw her, but they did not suspect her intentions, but wanted to ask her whereabouts, he invited Mei Mi to drink a glass of honey wine, and promised to come to her room in the evening.

Dressed as a mercenary, along with the mage Gavin, they pretended to be merchants who had come with the mercenaries to buy tobacco, and they changed slightly to look unremarkable, and the guards were forced to extort two silver coins by the scorching afternoon sun.

The thief Glenn is more complicated, because the White Tower is already in the lair of the Fine Web Guild, and they don't welcome thieves who don't belong to them. So GΓΌlen found an identity from the tavern in the Dragonfire Islands, the thief had been recruited, but by mistake, and finally he ran to the Dragonfire Islands to open a tavern, and the business was actually very good.

He gave GΓΌlen the name of the solicitor, who was dead. So Glenn didn't have to worry about someone exposing him at all, as soon as he entered the White Tower, he showed his hand, reported the name, and found a room on the outskirts of the guild.

What happened next was a little frightening, and although the female warlock had left a message for Cremar to go to the tower to win back his friends, in fact, both Leona and Berdwin were imprisoned in the prison of the "Fine Web" guild, and Leona was given special privileges and a room. Although the room was no more than six feet long and wide, and had no windows, only a wooden door with iron hinges and reinforcements, and the furniture inside was lackluster, both the chairs and the table were fixed to the floor, the only bed was unsettlingly covered with shaggy bear skin, and on the table was a bottle of playful fragrant pea flowers.

Leona had asked for water. If they bring in a jug or a jug, it is very dangerous to put it on the princess. But what those people brought in was actually peaches with the pits removed, and at this time the peaches could not be said to be ripe, but the one that Leona had obtained was basically ripe, and it was almost so careful that it would melt away at the slightest touchβ€”the solid food was cheese and bread, and the bread was white and delicate. It's not the kind of brown bread mixed with wood chips that can be used as sticks.

But her room is still a room after all, not a dungeon.

So Mei Mi and the others first found Leona, and the princess was in a good state, but at the moment they left the room. The scene in front of them suddenly turned upside down, Mei Mi and Leona were thrown into a dark passage that emitted a rancid smell, the passage was sticky and slippery, walking on it if they were not careful, they would fall, they finally climbed through a broken road, and found a small door that could be opened, but at the moment of walking out, the corridor where they were walked into two little little guys who were still a little childish, their short robes showed that they were only thieves apprentices, Mei Mi immediately pushed the small door desperately, wanting to retreat to the secret passage, the gods were on it, this door could only be opened once, Leona helped Mei Mi work hard, but her strength was much more than Mei MiWith a dull sound, the small door unexpectedly broke away from the hinge, and Mei Mi sat down on the ground with a thud.

This kind of movement wants to continue to be unknown and is purely to cover her ears and steal the bell, and Mei Mi actually learned to bark twice in a panic.

As we saw at the beginning, two thieves came with dried fish, and they didn't see the cat, only two stupid women with dirty faces.

"I thought it was a cat. One of the thieves' apprentices said angrily that he had taken the dried fish back into his pocket and replaced it with a dagger.

"Isn't that a cat?" his companion licked his lips and smiled wickedly to indicate that he might no longer be a child: "Wild cats at our disposal......"

Leona knocked on the wooden door he was holding in the face, and if he couldn't find a good priest, the thief apprentice might be the second "you-know-who".

The thief's apprentice, who had prepared a small dried fish for the cat, was startled, and he quickly raised his dagger to stab at Memi, but found that the dagger could not penetrate the tender skin anyway, and the priest of Frow grinned at him, grabbed his wrist, and violently parted, and the apprentice's dagger immediately pierced into his own lower abdomen, and he immediately shouted sharply.

"Let's go!" Leona shouted, and then she said, "Oh, shit. ”

An adult male, a thief was rushing from the other end of the corridor quickly, Leona looked left and right, there should have been sculptures in the corridor, but it seemed that the thieves had taken them and sold them, she jumped up and grabbed the chandelier hanging on the top of the porch, the ceiling here was made of candles, and the curved branches had spikes for candles, she wanted to pull it off and use it as a weapon, but it was really too strong, and Leona hung in the air awkwardly.

Mei Mi added a spell just in time, and the thief's dagger hit the transparent barrier and fell, Leona was not in danger for the time being, but the thief's eyes immediately fell on Flo's priest.

The poor little priest turned and ran without looking back, only to have the thief apprentice who was crawling out of the corridor by his nose and grabbed her ankle as soon as he reached out, and Memmy fell down the hallway, this time not her ass but her chest, and her tears of pain flowed from her eyes, and for the first time it was not a good thing to think that certain positions were too plump.

Before she could recover from her dizziness, she was grabbed by the hair and lifted up, and she cursed Glenn silently as she struggled in vain, and then she remembered the trick Glenn had played with her, Glenn was a brilliant thief, and of course he knew what a thief would do when he tried to kill someone, although at the time he had jokingly used Memmy as the object of the demonstration, but now the priest of Frow really had to thank him for his bad taste!

There was a ring on her finger, and the ring was set with a large crystal, and the base was of black iron, which did not look very valuable, but it cost more than a ring of pure gold of its sizeβ€”and she pressed down on her middle finger with all her might, and a delicate needle jumped out of it, it was small, but it was actually edged on both sides, and it was as sharp as if it had been polished on the skull of the devil, and she did not bother to stab the thief who had captured herβ€”and she was not going to pierce his ears- With a single hand, he cut off his hair, and at the same time slid down and escaped from under the thief's dagger.

It was the wall in front of her that she let out another curse.

She clasped her hands, and since Flo hadn't ignored her in the previous crises, now she had to pray to the beautiful Flo to see if she could get a powerful magic - but this time it wasn't Flo, it was Cremar.

The black-haired spellcaster suddenly appeared in the hallway like a ghost, a spell gesture in his hand, and the thief tried to escape, but the swift flames engulfed him in a flash.

"Oh," cried Memy in despair, "Leona is still there!" (to be continued.) )
