Aldrich Tris, who was holding the rope with both hands, was a little crying and laughing, and he tried to pull the guide who had fallen into the quicksand trap with all his strength, and found himself battling a four-wheeled carriage.

He made a sad expression, which, combined with the seriousness of silence, immediately brought Princesteen's pleasure to an abrupt end, like a spark on a fleeting flint, and he immediately realized that the quicksand over his waist clung to his body, especially the part that sank into the trap, and could not move at all.

"It's over, it's over, I know I can't act rashly, and I was killed by you again. Aldrich Triss, when are you going to do your best, not just casually perfunctory. ”

The usual accusations followed, and Knight Triss caught his prey unconcernedly, wrestling with the quicksand trap in all directions, but he had to speak again in order to comfort the traumatized Prince.

"Anyway, we've joined forces to complete a cooperation, at least a lot more than just now, isn't that right?" Aldridge racked his brains to think about how to deal with the current crisis.

The knight's code does not have this content, and there is no relevant record in the geographical and geological part of the book in the house, after all, the terrain of quicksand should have appeared in the great desert that is cut off from the trade routes to the east, and those witch kings who use mortal life as the source of spell casting and bloody rule over the oasis they have will have a way to deal with the quicksand.

Then I can only turn to the wisdom of my past life, another world. ’

Aldrich Triss suddenly appears in the spiritual realm of a huge library, and as a caretaker he has the ability to search catalogs, such as simulating a search engine.

'Using quicksand as the key word, sort out the memory fragments. After the silent command, hundreds of written and pictorial records appeared one after another, and in an instant, the relevant plan automatically appeared in front of me.

The knight came back to his senses and greeted Princeteen, who was not far away: "Hey, I have a way to save you, but we have to cooperate tacitly." I believe that success just requires your cooperation. ”

"What, you're going to do it again, forget it, Mr. Triss, you can do it, pretend you don't know me, turn away, and let me go." ”

The young guide, who had been waiting for death, was now waisted by quicksand, but he had changed his mind because of the rope under his arm, but he did not know, or could not figure out, whether Aldrich Triss really wanted to save him, or if he was playing with him as a circus clown.

"Even though you say no, but your hands hold on to the rope, and you expose all your thoughts. But it's much easier to do that way, after all, the body's instinct to survive is the most honest. ”

Knight Triss put away his smile, "The quicksand trap is not difficult to deal with, first of all, I will keep dragging and pulling to offset the weight of your body constantly sinking. Secondly, Prince, you can't stand anymore, it's only going to worsen the situation, now what you need to do is lie back and increase the area of contact with the ground, and by the way, stretch out your hands to the ground to get more buoyancy. ”

"Lie down, won't quicksand bury me sooner?" are you sure this isn't a bad idea, Knight Tris?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you have to listen to me if you want to live. After all, I'm a knight, and I've read no fewer books than you, and they're all in the category of being very practical. ”

In order to survive, Princeteen had to endure the boasting of Aldrich Triss, which was originally his domain, a source of pride, and as an alchemist from a family of scholars, he knew everything and knew everything, but now he had to do it.

"yes, that's it. The knight tried to tighten the rope and drag the obedient guide a little, and he immediately shouted with joy, only to have the quicksand trap pull him back again, and a little deeper than before.

"What's going on? The quicksand is almost past my navel. This method is really immature, and I have to rely on myself. ”

"Stop, idiot. If it hadn't been for the rash act just now, I would have pulled your waist out. Triss scolded him angrily, causing Princeine to pause stiffly, and he actually sensed in his heart that Aldridge's method was correct, but he had just messed it up.

Out of inexplicable jealousy, the alchemy enthusiast did not admit his mistake at all, and instead put the blame on the Knight of Tris.

Remember, don't move your hands, swing your legs slightly upward, and the damp sand will spontaneously fill the empty space, and then your legs can be lifted up little by little. Remember, don't move too much. ”

Lying on his back on a funnel-shaped quicksand trap, Princeteen replied weakly: "Your pure teachings, always in mind, and hope not to break your word and save me from suffering." ”

"It's a shame that you don't become a bard, and when is it now, and you're still in the mood to chant the proverbs of the kings. Pulling hard again, the rope crumbled and made a sizzling sound.

"Wait, wait, my waist is about to be broken by you. Letting out a loud wail, Princeine couldn't hide the look of pain on his face, and he was a little frustrated, wondering if it was from the revenge of the Knight of Tris.

"Honestly, with all my strength, I can definitely pull you out of this quicksand, but when the time comes, a part of your body will remain in the trap forever. ”

I knew it was going to be, damn Knight Tris, who was completely teasing me. ’

"Go away, and leave me alone here until I die of old age. Princeine was disheartened, but his feet kept swinging slightly as Aldrich commanded, trying to save himself.

"Looks like I'm going to have to do it differently. Knight Triss gripped the rope with his left hand, "Hey, throw the unquenchable torch in your hand." ”

"What! At the critical moment, you finally revealed your true colors, and even deliberately framed me until death in order to covet this flame gem. I won't give it to you, that's right, you can only take it if you kill me. ”

"You think too much, although the flame gem is a rare alchemy artifact, it is not only in your hand, isn't there another one behind me?" Aldrich gave a thumb up in his right hand, and gestured to the wooden staff used to illuminate and appease the hired man.

"You can remove the gem and throw it at the handle, I'm going to use it to test the range of the quicksand trap. ”

Hearing that it was not for the precious flame gem, Prince's mind came alive again, and he originally planned to throw the torch directly to the other party, but after thinking about it carefully, he still removed the gem according to the orders of the Knight of Tris.

Wait, if I follow his train of thought exactly, will I not become an obedient servant, absolutely not." Without thinking, Princein threw the intact inextinguishable torch directly to the other party.

"Well, I'm sure you're impressed. Reaching out to catch the stick thrown in the air, Aldrich gripped the front end with his right hand, and then touched the ground nearby with the end to test the maximum range of quicksand.

He soon learned the approximate size of the trap, marked a safe area on the ground, and then placed the torch in the gravel, and the whole person ran back and forth, like a fisherman catching a big fish, and constantly wrestling with his prey, exhausting its strength.

"This brainless madman!" Princeteen cursed a corpse, choked by the Knight of Tris, but he soon realized the benefits, his waist was not broken, but his body was pulling up and detaching little by little.

Quicksand still wants to warmly keep this first-time guest, but the dead thing can't help the wisdom of human beings and the tacit understanding of cooperation.

With his waist, legs, and knees out of the trap, Princeteen let out a sullen breath until his body was completely free of the quicksand, and then he ran to Aldrich's side.

Frightened, he had a lot to say, but when he saw the smiling Knight of Tris, he swallowed his thanks again and swallowed it, leaving no dross between his teeth.

Aldrich put away the six- or seven-meter-long rope, wrapped it around his right forearm, and then returned the inextinguishable torch to Prince, much to the surprise of the young guide, who had thought that the Flame Gem would be the reward for Knight Terry's life.

'This fool! a hopeless fool, a self-righteous generosity, hypocritically disgusting to my stomach. ’

"Wow!" Princeteen really threw up, but his stomach was empty and he didn't have any stock, so he was just retching.

"Excessive tension caused the body to twitch unconsciously, which was exactly the same as the first time a recruit stepped on the battlefield, swung his sword and raised his sword, and saw the blood spilled from the wound, and the life that was gradually disappearing in front of his eyes. Your performance is not bad, you have been tested by the quicksand trap, presumably your will should be tempered, and this kind of thing will not happen next time. ”

Princen wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand and replied hatefully, "Next time?" ”

"Really? Then I'll have to explore the ruins of what is suspected to be a mage tower on my own, and maybe I'll find precious spell books, valuable treasures, and knick-knacks like alchemy recipes. ”

Aldrich knew exactly what the young guide coveted but could not get, and he was fully aware of Princeine's weaknesses, but he didn't use them against him.

The young man who had flinched just now had the part of his body that belonged to the alchemy enthusiast completely awakened and completely mastered his brain and mouth.

"Oh my God, can I watch you venture alone? Rest assured, Knight Aldrich Triss, we have been happy to work together, as evidenced by the fact that we have led the hired men of the Snake Mine on their way to self-reliance. Of all of them, what I value most is your ability and noble character, and more importantly, you are a knight, and you need a squire, a clerk, a herald, and a deputy, and it just so happens that I am qualified for all these positions. ”

Princeine is like a crappy salesman, trying his best to sell the goods in front of the customer, and that goods are himself.

"Well, you convinced me. Then we all work together to brave the ruins, and maybe we can really find some treasures. ”

"Hmm...... Great, it's just that quicksand traps may still be on the ground nearby, how do you deal with them?"

Aldrich pointed to his feet, "My Scud, fly over the quicksand trap with all your might, no problem, and when I reach that tower, I'll pull you over with a rope." ”

"You mean to drag me through, large enough, enough buoyancy to avoid falling into the quicksand trap. I'm not wrong, am I?"

"Yes, by the way, you can also find out a safe path, killing two birds with one stone, will you refuse?"

'Damn knight, there is no doubt that he is worse than just now, but for the sake of the treasure, the alchemist's inheritance, he can only endure it for the time being. ’

"So be it!" Prince's face squeezed out an ugly smile.

Aldrich nodded, leaned down slightly, made a crouching starting position, and then ran like a sharp arrow, quickly running towards the tower.

The lover of alchemy felt like a gust of wind swept by, and he wiped his eyes and looked up to see the Knight of Tris already standing in front of the tower's gate waving.

'That's fast!'

A two-fold length of cloth rope was thrown in front of Prince, and he immediately wrapped it around his hand, then crawled on the ground as if appointed, and then thought about it, pressed his thick back to the ground, and was dragged forward with a force.

Without his knowledge, Aldridge erased the footprints he had left behind, and those explosive explosion marks hid his unique power skills.

"It's here!" Knight Triss grabbed Princeteen's shoulders and pulled up straight.

Before reaching the tower safely, convincing himself to endure the humiliation again, the young alchemy enthusiast slapped the sand off his body and turned to study the closed door.

"This is a wooden plank, originally an ordinary wood, but I didn't expect it to be tempered by spells and turned into a special material, it has the same texture as steel, but it is not heavy. If you look at the pattern on it, it is estimated that it is carved with some kind of protective spell pattern, which can resist low-level spells. Well...... There's a keyhole here, let me try it, and though I don't have a percussion scroll, I'm a wanderer who knows how to open locks. ”

"Gurgle...... "Princeton, who used two hairpins to make a treasure key to open the door on the spot, suffered another setback in his life, and he couldn't help this triple lock.

"It's better to replace me!" Aldridge pulled the powerless wanderer away, and the power of the Storm Bear was activated, turning around and kicking the tower door open and piercing inside.

"Bang!" Triss was slightly surprised when the door slammed into the ground with a clatter of gold and iron, and sure enough, as Princeteen had said, the door was about the same texture as steel.

"Let me welcome you into the unguarded ruins!" Aldrich stood in the doorway, and made a gesture of extension with his right hand outstretched inside.

Princeteen stood up, patted the dust and sand off his body, and tried to correct it: "This is a mage tower. ”

"Let me welcome you into the ruins of the unguarded Mage Tower!"

After a few pushes, the two men walked side by side into the tower, and the surging darkness engulfed Aldrich Triss and Princeteen in one gulp.
