Chapter 11: The Three Gangsters
"Two four-star adventurers of Steel Shield were exploring the depths of the second floor of the leyline corridor, and one of them found that his left leg disappeared while walking, and thus discovered a mysterious enchantment......"
Most of them were sent by the guild to hunt the Darkhorn Cat, and they ran out to get extra money during the day and at night, but they bumped into the shit luck and met the enchantment......
Looking down further, "The two Steel Shield Explorers immediately reported back to the guild, and the people of the three major guilds all arrived quickly within ten minutes......"
Vince smacked his lips, and the two explorers of Steel Shield reported the news that the people from the three major guilds arrived almost at the same time, which is a bit informative......
"The barrier is made up of two green chestnut trees about five meters tall and surrounded by four people......"
"There is a strange star-shaped pattern on each of the two chestnut trees, about two meters above the ground......"
"There is no conclusion as to the meaning of the pattern, and some senior experts have pointed out that the pattern is most likely part of the enchantment. The three major guilds have sent people to ask Professor Frankred, an expert in symbols......"
"The part of the object that sticks out of the enchantment will disappear, but it can still be extracted ......"
"Preliminary judgment that there may be a 'folding space' inside the enchantment......"
"The three guilds have decided not to send people into the enchantment until the composition of the enchantment is clearly analyzed......"
"The barrier has been protected for further study......
Vince put down the newspaper in his hand and leaned back in his chair in thought.
Although there are many news reports, most of the content is about how the guild people discovered the enchantment by mistake, and there are not many reports about the enchantment itself, at best, it is described as a "water surface".
Unlike Vins, the guild people weren't sure what the purpose of the barrier was, so they didn't rush in, but only tried to analyze the composition of the barrier on the periphery.
In the past, it was often assumed that monsters would only use their own simple innate magic. And now in the depths of the leyline corridor, there is actually an enchantment where no one has set foot in a place, which breaks people's common sense of monsters! The three major guilds are very cautious about this discovery, and they don't want to cause heavy losses if they are careless.
The text also spends a lot of pen and ink describing the two strange star-shaped marks on the two trees that make up the barrier, which makes Vance laugh secretly, they are just marks he made with his hand, and they have no special meaning. But he was waiting to see what Professor Falkred would do to interpret the mark.
Fortunately, there was no whim to carve the words "Vince Griffin visited here" on those two trees, otherwise he might have been studied as a specimen by this time......
The people of the three major guilds are still groping outside, and they don't know when they will officially enter the enchantment. The only trace I left in the barrier was the corpse of a hornless Darkhorn Cat, but what does this corpse say? Since the outbreak of the plague for more than a month, a third of the people in this city have tried to enter the leyline corridor, how can they be suspicious of me?
Wins, thinking about it, the only possibility of being discovered is that the people from the three guilds entered early, judging by the degree of decay of the Darkhorn Cat's corpse, when he entered the enchantment.
Let's not talk about whether the news will be spread by the three major guilds, even if it is spread, it is only Mr. Morrich and Uncle El's family who will doubt themselves. With Uncle El's family and their own relationship, they categorically wouldn't bother to report the news, and Mr. Moric ......
Morric has helped Vince many times over the years, but only when Vince is desperate except for him. The rest of the time, Moric simply ignored Vins, so Vince couldn't figure out the other party's attitude towards him.
I can only hope that Mr. Moric is a man who lives in seclusion and does not care about the world......
After a meal, Vince felt much more at ease, and hurried back to the hall after breakfast, he couldn't wait to show off his two-star strength to Joel.
When they arrived at the hall, there were already a lot of people entering through the door, or going to the front desk to make a commission, or looking for a commission within their ability in front of the notice wall, and some people were seated on the tables and chairs provided by the hall, waiting for their companions to go to the Demon Mist Forest together.
The beast tide had just happened, and the three major guilds had also warned people not to enter the Demon Mist Forest for the time being, but after the adventurers saw the news, they were enthusiastic, and the people in the hall today were the most since the plague broke out in the city.
Vince searched around the noisy crowd, but Joel still didn't show up, it was already 8:05.
Joel has always been a very punctual person......
It was an eventful time now, and Wens's heart couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he walked directly to the front desk and asked, "Mr. Yerevan, it's Joel's turn to be on duty today, but I didn't see him, is Joel on leave today?"
Yerevan pushed his glasses, thought for a moment and said, "Joel didn't say that he was going to take leave, this kid has never been absent from work for three years, is there something delayed on the road?"
Vince nodded, "I see." Wait, if he doesn't arrive at the guild at half-past eight, I'll go out and find him. ”
Yerevan said: "You really have to be careful, the plague has been rampant in the past two days, and some people who are infected with the disease know that they are not saved and go crazy to take revenge on the society, it is really not peaceful!" After speaking, he sighed heavily.
Vins turned around and prepared to leave the front desk, after all, Yerevan's work was still very busy. He had barely taken two steps when he was suddenly stopped by Yerevan again.
"Did you kid take my newspaper away?!I just went in to get the letter of entrustment and it was still at the front desk, and when I came out, it was gone?!"
Wens then remembered that he had been looking for an opportunity to put the newspaper back in the front desk without noticing, but he had forgotten about it when he had just looked for Joel, and now the newspaper was still in his hand......
Vance wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly turned around and looked at Yerevan with a smile on his face, Yerevan hid behind his glasses and glared at Vance fiercely with a pair of small eyes.
"Uncle Yerevan, I saw that you were busy with work, so it didn't affect you to take the newspaper. Heck, there's absolutely no idea of deliberately messing with you......" As he spoke, Vince threw the newspaper on the front desk and turned around without giving Yerevan a chance to express his thoughts......
At half past eight, the voices in the Darkmoon Hall became more and more noisy, but Joel was still nowhere to be seen, and Vins, who was sitting in the consultation area, had a bad premonition in his heart.
After saying hello to Yerevan, Vince went out and headed straight for Pelican Street. Joel lives on White Moon Street in the eastern side of the lower city, and from his home, he only needs to pass Pelican Street and walk some distance on the Avenue of the Brave to reach the Darkmoon Guild.
The Avenue of the Brave leads directly to the city gate, which is one of the main roads of Carryton City, and it is also the key patrol position of the Blackguard, no one can do anything wrong on this road, if something happens to Joel, then it can only be on Pelican Street!
Fifteen minutes later, a panting Vance ran to Pelican Street, where the people were so quiet that it didn't look like there was any big mess. Luckily, Vince had been walking on this street with his friends for three years, and he knew the road conditions well, so he easily began to look for them in the alleys and alleys where no one was.
Joel has always been a person who likes to help others fight grievances, and it is not uncommon to fight with thugs in small alleys.
It has to be said that the alleys of this ghetto are simply disaster movie scenes, with excrement, garbage, and swill everywhere, and the smell is so bad that Vince can barely keep his sanity by pinching his nose.
Today, the homeless people and beggars in these alleys are nowhere to be found, and Wins doesn't even have a chance to inquire, and the efficiency of finding people is much slower.
"Do all beggars come to work on time so ......," thought Vins, who was almost lost in the stench.
......
"A two-star kid who plays with fire, and he eats too much and wants to help others get ahead?!"
In the gloomy alley, Joel clutched the sword in his hand tightly and stared at the three people who were blocking him in the corner not far ahead.
On his way to work today, he suddenly bumped into two thugs holding wooden sticks to teach a beggar who had been beaten up, which was not uncommon in Carridon, but Joel saw that the two thugs were merciless, almost beating him to death. The passers-by on the street turned a blind eye to it, and his blood surged into his heart for a moment, and he stopped the two thugs with a fireball technique.
The beggar was rescued by himself just now, and he ran away directly without righteousness, leaving himself blocked here, and the two of them were forgotten, and there was a third ......
rescued people and rescued himself in the end, and Joel inevitably felt a little cold.
"Hehe, if you kneel down and kowtow now and admit your mistake, I can still let you climb out of here, otherwise...... I see that you look quite iconic, why don't you try to be a yin and yang person?"
The thug standing at the front of the three put his stick on his shoulder and said jokingly, and the three of them burst into a wild laugh.
Joel couldn't help but be furious when he heard their taunts. However, he was barely able to control himself, and now he was one against three, both of whom were warriors, and the newcomer was not clear for the time being, and the two sides were still separated by several meters, so they must not strike first.
The leading thug had a scar on his forehead, and the remaining two people, one short and one fat, stood on the left and right of the scar man.
The scar man laughed for a while, and when he saw that the other party had not hit his own simple agitation method, he still stood in place with his sword clenched. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hideous smile, and said, "Give me death!!"
After saying that, the bruises in his right arm burst out, and he picked up his stick and strode towards Joel!
Seeing the other party's hideous smile, Joel began to prepare for the fireball technique, there was a distance of three or four meters between the two sides, and at this moment the scar man rounded the wooden stick and attacked him vigorously, but Joel's fireball technique was also ready when he ran two steps!
A gangster is a gangster......
A brilliant flame appeared in the palm of Joel's right hand, and it was instantly engulfed by the magic power, forming a blazing fireball!
The thug was still two steps away from Joel at the moment, and he didn't expect the elemental mage in front of him to cast spells so quickly without a staff. Seeing the fireball coming, he hurriedly wanted to dodge sideways, but it was too late!
"Boom!"
The fireball exploded in the thug's chest, and the scar man's facial features instantly twisted together!
The huge impact hit the chest so that the scar man couldn't even scream, and could only be helplessly hit by the fireball and fly off the ground, fly backwards and fall heavily to the ground. The stick in his hand had fallen to the ground the moment he was hit by the fireball.
With such a close distance, this man doesn't know how many ribs he has to break......
"Hybrid...... Play with my yin ......"
The scar man scolded weakly, and then lay on the ground unconscious.
