Chapter 256: The Trusted

Atta set out a little later than Jian Qi's side. Basically, when Kenqi lured the river monster out of the river with a stone, the female swordsman set off from Jiefa Town. When she set off, Cheese was still asleep, and the mage accurately predicted what would happen to him, and when he finished explaining the plan and precautions, he fainted on the table almost immediately, and if it weren't for the fact that he was in a gray robe, it was not impossible that he would never get up again. Man is a very interesting animal, when we give ourselves a goal that seems to be achievable, we always have the motivation to keep going, but we don't notice that we have run out of gas.

Ata's brows unconsciously converged because she remembered Cheese's condition, and she felt that she had frowned more often in recent times than in her entire life before she met the gray robe. It's not a bad thing, and before that, she's happy, angry, sad, but she rarely worries because she doesn't have anyone or anything to worry about except her family, who hasn't heard from her. Ever since she met the Grey Robe, she had more to worry about, Cheese, who always didn't care about her body, and Kalas, who was always the first to take the lead, although she was unforgiving, she began to like the feeling of worry, which made her no longer feel alone.

Because of this, when Cheese tells her about the task he has asked her to, the female swordsman will gladly accept it. She is not only the most suitable person for this task, but also the one who wants to complete it the most. She wished she was doing something more than killing something, though her sword didn't hesitate to protect her companions and herself. I raised my head and looked at the sunset, night, it was almost coming.

The subtle rays of dusk are the hardest times for Atta, and she can use her unique vision during the day and night. Only at dusk, the whole world became blurred under the ambiguous light, and she couldn't play her advantage in the twilight light, so she could only rely on the most normal vision like an ordinary person. Fortunately, the mage had already anticipated this situation, and with a flick of Atta, a small glass bottle was in her hand. In that bottle was clear water, and a small drop of bright red blood. The blood came from the object she was trying to rescue, and with a simple spell, the blood red would sway in the bottle, pointing at the person who had possessed it, and with its guidance, Atta would be able to reach the cabin without the help of elf vision or the Nymph.

The swordswoman did not ride a horse, and her speed and endurance in the woods on foot were not inferior to those of horses, much like the elves who lived in the woods. However, this is not the main reason, after all, if the goal is simply to rescue the people who have been kidnapped by the river monsters, then it is always good to bring a horse to carry the hostages, but the person who proposed not to ride the mount is precisely Cheese. In this regard, the mage has other considerations.

The Frakrag on his waist swayed as he ran, and the effect of the sword had been activated as the Yew toxin was expelled from Atta's body, otherwise an ordinary scabbard would not have been able to contain this magic sword that could cut through most things in the world. According to the cat fairy, the sword that is the fairy king's sword has a special scabbard, and only that scabbard can store the magic sword from being destroyed, and since the real sword is in the hands of Ata, most of the scabbard of the sword is still in the hands of the current fairy king as a deterrent. Although the goblins have no external enemies, if they don't have the enemy sword, it is inevitable that no one will have other thoughts.

That's fine, although he was saved by the enemy sword, but Atta, as a sword wielder, really didn't want to have such an overly powerful sword in his hand. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, who knows if the power of the magic sword will fall on her head for some reason?

The woods that Cheese had mentioned appeared in front of the swordswoman's eyes, and the beacon in her hand pointed straight ahead. Atta looked at the sunset, today's dusk was extraordinarily long, a little too long. With one hand on the hilt of her sword, she lowered her body slightly, and walked lightly into the place where the captivity hid the cause of the death of the townspeople of Junction Town. What was she wary of? If it was a river monster, Kenqi and Kailas's side would not easily fail, and with those two people, the monster would not be able to appear here at this time. But she was still on guard, and very careful. The reason is simple, it was a small question asked by the mage.

River monsters, they can't make magic looms. So he gave her the loom and instructed the river monster to kidnap Goli and force him to work for him. And this person is likely to have the idea of retrieving the loom when he sees the river monster being besieged by Jian Qi and them. This person is probably the devil, and in the knowledge reserve of the cheese, the guy who is so keen on planning this kind of event is most likely related to the devil.

That's why he asked Atta to complete the mission of rescuing Gori, compared to the pure-blooded goblin Kailas and the purely human Kenqi, Ata's uncertainty will confuse the devil, and those scheming evil creatures are the most cautious, and will probably not risk interfering with the female swordsman's actions. Besides, even if she had to confront the devil head-on, Atta's goblin vision could ensure that she would not be easily confused by magic or illusions, and with the magic sword in her hand, ordinary devils might not really be her opponents. It can be said that in the current staffing, female swordsmen are the safest candidates.

The problem is that the safest candidate does not mean that things can be done safely, and arranging things too naturally often fails to achieve the desired results. So, in addition to informing him of the information that had been found and possible speculations, Cheese also planned for Atta what to do in the face of different situations. However, the mage herself knew that the information he had gathered was not enough to make a foolproof plan, so he did not force Atta to carry out his advice, and the strategy for dealing with possible situations during the operation ultimately depended on her own judgment. This kind of letting go is not only a last resort, but also a trust of cheese in his companions.

Atta could feel the trust, and she realized that the woman who was going to be rescued was important in Cheese's eyes. It's not that the mage fell in love with Goli at first sight, it's purely his past experience that makes him feel a sense of sympathy for this kind of person who is undoubtedly involved in the dark side of the world and cannot break free. The swordswoman could not forgive the vampire who killed the merchant who carried her to the lion.

Walking into the depths of the forest, the maze of plants and trees appeared in front of him, and Cheese had already informed Atta of the method of solving the maze, and he was not even worried about drawing a bird's-eye view for her. In fact, the mage is overly worried, just like this kind of maze can't trap the gray robe, the keen half-goblin swordsman can easily pass through the maze with excellent insight and memory. Out of an abundance of caution, Atta looked around to make sure no one was staring at the entrance to the labyrinth, especially critters like crows and snakes, which were often borrowed by demons and casters of spells that were thought to be ominous.

No, the woods are so quiet that it's frightening. Not to mention snakes or crows, Atta walked cautiously along the way, not even seeing a single bug. This cannot be a coincidence, there must be a reason for the anomaly.

The blade of the sword, with a slight draw, tapped the unwanted beacon back into the dark pocket of the sleeve, and the female swordsman turned into the maze in three or two steps.
