Volume 3 Recklessness Chapter 40 Action
July 1731 Portnas, on the outskirts of Bellis
Yesterday was like a dream, and when the sun rose again, the haze left by the night dissipated.
Early in the morning, the boy and the knight set out on an adventurous mission just like in the past, but this time the mission was a little special. After receiving the mission yesterday, the knight immediately entrusted the Thieves' Guild to find out the whereabouts of this group of mission targets, and now the two of them have come to the vicinity of the target location given to them by the Thieves' Guild.
"That's where the bandits kidnap the hostages, and sure enough, the monster's speculation is nonsense. Calvin said, pointing to an abandoned house in the distance. Lott was also beside him, standing on tiptoe and looking over, "The Thieves' Guild is not badly efficient. The knight grinned, proud of his thoughtfulness.
Once the location was determined, the two of them leaned down, lowered their footsteps, and began to slowly approach their target, "So how much did you spend?" asked Lot, "at least more than the reward for this task." β
Calvin laughed when he heard this, "The task is for you to practice, not for you to solve the case, there is no need to spend time on finding people." He said vigilantly, craned his neck and looked around again to make sure he was safe, "By the way, I paid the money for entrusting the thieves first, and your share of the payment will also belong to me after the end." β
"Huh?" Lott looked at him with an embarrassed expression, "Is this your attitude as a teacher?
"Of course. Calvin replied lightly, and after making sure that there were no patrolling personnel, Calvin buried his body with confidence, "Quick!" He urged the young man, even if he didn't find anyone, he still had to be fast.
Because the land here is untended all year round, the grass around the abandoned house is very high, resulting in a large area of grass, which is an excellent hiding place, and the two adventurers quietly walk through the grass, silently approaching the edge of the abandoned house.
"That's the limit. Lott stopped and pointed to the edge of the grass ahead, which was less than ten paces away from the house.
"Hmm. The knight nodded, "Let's make sure the hostage isn't here, I hope she's still alive." Calvin said and looked at the window of the room, "I have to say, they really don't have experience, they don't take care of the grass so close to the stronghold, they deserve to be so deep in the ground by a knight like me." β
"You don't trust thieves' intelligence, they're experts at this, aren't they?" Lott was strange, Calvin wasn't a suspicious person.
"It's not that I don't believe in their strength, I just don't believe in them. The knight's tone sounded meaningful, "The thief's information is best used for reference only, and the specific situation is still up to you." β
"I remember thieves have rules that can't lie in commissions, right?" Lott still couldn't quite understand Calvin's motives, could it be that something had happened to him?
"It's true that they don't lie, but they hide it. Calvin smiled wryly, "I learned it all with Modrilla." β
Looking at the knight's state, Lotte naturally didn't want to insist on anything, "Then how do you observe, we can't see the situation inside." β
"Think. Calvin nodded to Lott "Never stop thinking, this is a good lesson that thieves have taught me, you can't stop thinking about this even in battle, giving up thinking is equivalent to giving up resistance." β
"I've heard this theory too. Remembering what Saiya had taught her, Lott smiled softly.
"So, let me hear your thoughts first. "No proselytizing
At this time, Calvin did not forget to Kaokolot.
Since the teacher asked a question, as a student, he naturally had to answer, Lott carefully observed the shape of the house and said, "If it were me, I would definitely not just wait here, waiting is meaningless." Lott said as he glanced at the knight's reaction, and after saying this, his face did not change, so the boy continued, "This is already very close to the house, it should only take a few seconds for us to run over, these windows have no windows, we can enter the house through their windows left and right, and then find the whereabouts of the hostages silently, and finally deal with the people inside." Lott finished his train of thought layer by layer, he looked at the knight's face, still didn't react, so he thought about it again, and it seemed that there was really nothing to add" My answer is this. β
"That's it?" Calvin turned to look at him, "you're a thief, aren't you?" It's all weird thinking. Calvin gave the boy a blank look, and only in the face of Lotter's poor answer would he do this: "When he is a thief, and he still touches in silently, a knight, a free man, quietly touches a stronghold full of outlaws, and then succeeds in protecting the hostages?" to the bard, he doesn't believe it. β
Frowning, chewing on Calvin's comment, "Because your armor is too noisy..."
"Not only my armor, but do you know how many pairs of eyes there are in those windows? You don't know, how dare you take such a big risk. Lott replied badly, but Calvin would explain the reason for him, although some things should not be harsh, many situations must rely on experience and knowledge to get the best answer, the young man in front of him is still inexperienced and knowledgeable, and there is no need to blame him for this, but Calvin is not stingy with words of reproach, he is an easy-going person, but he is also a strict teacher.
"Well, my teacher, what's the correct answer?" Lott admits defeat, his mentality is also very good, he does not have a strange mentality because of the teacher's reproach, listening to Calvin's words, he also feels that such an idea is a little naΓ―ve, he is very good at accepting opinions.
"A thief, please. Calvin winked at him.
"Or?" Knowing that the knight was joking, Lott already knew him a little bit these days, and this man could sneer at himself one second and joke with himself the next.
"Or create an accident and force the people in the house out, as long as the hostages are alive and the accident is well disguised enough, then it will be as we want. Calvin recounted his plan, but Lott didn't nod his head.
"Then how do you create an accident?" Lott didn't figure it out, "You can't control what the people in there do, or do you mean that there are undercover agents in the inside?"
"My Lot," Calvin looked at him with a sad face after hearing this, "you really lack experience in this area. As he spoke, he took out a stone.
The stone had a very special shape, but Lott recognized it at a glance, "Flint Stone, oh! I see...", the boy nodded, "It's really funny." The boy understood the knight's plan.
Calvin injected the holy power into the stone, and the energy in the stone's body was activated and began to emit flames, "You don't know the holy power, you need two stones to hit to get out of the spark, so the sound is very loud and inappropriate." But you can light the fire in other ways, that's left to your own mind. For me, this is the best way. As he spoke, Calvin brought the flint closer to the grass beside him.
The grass was quickly ignited by the flames, and at the same time a protective word enveloped the two of them, and the fire burned among the weeds
It was very vigorous, and the brightness covered the light of the holy word, so that the two of them would not be exposed.
The people in the house soon found out that the grass next to the house was on fire, it was summer, this situation was not uncommon in this kind of field, although the fire only burned on the pile of grass, but as the fire spread, it was a matter of time before it burned to the house, so the people in the house began to rush out.
"One, two, three. Lott counted them one by one, and he watched as the people in the room ran out, until finally the hostages were brought out.
"Hmm" Calvin laughed when he saw the hostage, "Luckily, it's clear that the ransom deadline has passed, and she's still alive, and the mission report says it's a woman, so it's supposed to be her." β
"My country gave up rescuing her for the sake of the celebration, and her family couldn't pay the ransom, so she should be a very lucky person to live until now, much luckier than me. Lott also laughed when he saw that the hostages were alive, "There are only ten people, I am in charge of the battle, how about you are in charge of the hostages?"
"Very good choice. Calvin was ready to draw his sword, "Come on, Lot. β
As soon as the words landed, the boy rushed out of the flames, because the speed was very fast, even if he broke away from the protective word, the fire could not burn on him, and the young man took off the giant sword on his back at the same time, and he rushed towards the bandits with both hands, while the knight followed closely behind him with a sword and a shield in the other.
The thieves who had just escaped from the house had no idea that a person would appear at this time, and Lott raised his knife and fell, and the lives of the three people disappeared in the chaos, "It's almost the same as cutting monsters, it's almost the same." Lott looked at the corpse that had been cut down and fell to the ground, and said so, but still stopped the pursuit.
The knight kept the hostages safe behind him, and he simply cut down the two guys who tried to capture the hostages, and he cut the rope that bound the hostages with a single sword.
"Don't be afraid, ma'am, we're here to save you. Calvin said politely to the woman.
The frightened woman looked at the sudden change in state and was a little overwhelmed, "Who are you?" She looked at the strange man, a little scared.
"Ms. Fez, we are adventurers, and we are here to save you. The knight looked at the woman with a smile on his face.
Although the knight is not young, he can still be called handsome, in front of such a life-saving benefactor, the woman was fascinated, and her eyes looked at the knight warmly, as if she wanted to marry him in the next second.
But the knight didn't think about it that much, he just wrapped his left arm around the woman's waist, so that he could protect her body with the shield in his left hand, and then the knight looked at Lott in front of him, "Why don't you move? Are you scared?"
"Nope. The boy shook his head.
"You just wasted one of your best chances to pursue, and they're all reacting now. The teacher pulled the hostages back, "Retreat, after all, we have someone in our hands." β
"No, actually, I'm just waiting for them to react, that's the point of practicing, isn't it?" Lott turned his head slightly, "Mr. Calvin, please protect the hostages, and leave the five people to me to solve." β
"Your hands are shaking. The attentive knight reminded the boy, his tone a little worried.
"I'm just excited. The boy was holding the greatsword in both hands, he looked at his arm, the trembling gradually stopped, Lott knew he was quibbling, but now he had to overcome this obstacle, no matter what Modelella said, he must not be afraid of killing...
