Mars and Luke lurked in the corner between the two carts, and a campfire not far away pulled a shadow here, giving them the best cover.

It was dinner before, and there were too many people coming and going, and the two of them didn't dare to show their heads, so they could only wait quietly for the opportunity. But for the Assassins, this was nothing, and those who did not have patience would have died long ago.

"Mars, I didn't expect these slaves to be quite well-behaved, we stayed for so long, and no one even fought, and no one grabbed anything to eat. Boredom, Luke fell to his knees on one knee, and he carefully changed his leg without making any sound.

"Hey, do you think those heads are white trees?" Mars pouted his thumb and nodded behind him, a few dozen meters away, there were several poles with a few captled heads stuck in them, "and they seem to have dozens of people in a team, and there are special people to watch over them." Naturally, no one dared to move. ”

"I'm afraid that these people will be looked at too much, and after a while they set fires, and the noise is not loud enough to attract the magician. That's a problem. Luke then added, "This camp is so weird, I'm embarrassed. ”

"Slaves are slaves, and when the fire starts, you will understand that the camp is useless! Mars Dao.

The two waited a little longer. Mars saw that there were fewer and fewer people moving around, and everyone went back to sleep one after another, and said, "It's almost time, I'll go set a fire, you find a hidden position, and wait for the magician to appear." ”

Luke licked his lips, picked up his crossbow arrow, and excitedly said, "Okay, my favorite part of the hunt is finally about to begin." ”

Mars walked through the shadows for a moment, approaching a place where cattle and horses were fodded. He found that there were more than a dozen carts of hay and beans piled together, which was an excellent starting point. What's even better is that most of the people around this place sleep women and children, not to mention fighting fires, it's nice not to add to the chaos. But the forage was fenced off separately, with torches lit on all sides, guarded by four or five men armed with spears and crossbows.

Mars was a little surprised, it was just a group of slaves, why should it be more serious than fighting? But this formation could not stop him, he took out a small spar the size of a mung bean from a small bag in his clothes, and slowly entered the fighting qi into it.

Slowly, the hedron glowed red and became scorching. Mars shielded his light from his cloak and shielded his hands with his fighting spirit until the hedron was completely transformed into bright red, and with a flick of his fingers, he sent it into a haystack.

In the blink of an eye, a few wisps of green smoke appeared, and then the fire and smoke billowed out of the haystack. The keepers of the hay soon discovered the fire and screamed to the sleeping people around them, some of whom went to push away the unlit grain and grass, some of whom hurried to the river to fetch water, and others who ran to report it to the steward.

Mars threw down his black cloak, revealing a very ordinary linen outfit, inconspicuous in the crowd. He hid his dagger and bag containing hedrons under his clothes and followed the flow of people, continuing to look for an opportunity to set fire, knowing that Luke had hidden in the shadows and could shoot a deadly arrow at any moment.

When Mars set the fire, Luo Ling was staying in the tent with Elaine.

The other elves have been picked up by the elven rangers who came a few days ago, only Elaina has not left, she has made a request, she wants to follow Xiao Chen and his party back to the school to have a look, her reason is difficult for people to refuse: the elves are willing to open trade with Xiao Chen, the magician who saved their people, but before they can do so, they need to know their trading partners clearly.

Xiao Chen and the others discussed it and agreed to this request, because Elaina's origin is mysterious, in order to reduce snooping and trouble, Luo Ling has been letting her live with her these days.

"Your clothes are so chic. Elaine knelt on the cushion at the bottom of the tent, leaning slightly sideways, her green hair tied into tiny braids, which were then delicately coiled together to reveal her slender neck. Elves are mostly on the thin side, and so is Elaina, who sits there like a narcissus.

At this time, she didn't seem to be too sad, Allen's death seemed to be in the past, anyway, in Luo Ling's opinion, she was in good spirits these days, and she was curious enough about many new things she hadn't seen. Is this because life is too long?

Luo Ling had just washed her hair, her hair was still wet, she simply tied a ponytail, and her bangs were attached to her forehead. She didn't wear a voluminous mage robe, but a shirt and a short coat on top and a pair of dark blue jeans on the bottom.

"It's just ordinary clothes from home. She smiled and sat down on the floor across from Elaina. With one hand on the ground and the other resting on the bent leg, it looks relaxed and casual.

"But I've never seen it. I'm curious where your hometown is. When Elaina said this, Meimu looked Luo Ling up and down, her small mouth slightly upturned, not knowing whether it was interesting or appreciative. looked at Luo Ling a little embarrassed, she said: "The mainland is so big, and there are some special things, which are not very normal. I love the texture of the leaves and flowers on your clothes, it really feels like they're going to grow. ”

"Although the continent is large, there are very few things that elves don't know. When Elaine said this, she didn't see much arrogance, and it seemed very natural, "We elves have a long life, and we especially like to record beautiful things, and the poets and rangers who wander the continent will record those beautiful things and come back to share them with us." Even many islands far from the mainland have their footprints. It's not that I'm exaggerating, there is something new in the Empire, and we in the forest know much faster than the small nobles in the countryside. I am two hundred and thirty years old. In the past two hundred years, the clothes of those human nations have changed, but they are all contained here. Elaine nodded her forehead slightly, "However, you have nothing like this kind of dress." ”

"As I said, we come from a continent far away. Luo Ling shrugged.

"But you have the same language as we do. Elaina stretched out her hand and pointed to a few books beside Luo Ling, opened one casually and read, "Analysis of all classes in Chinese society...... You see, these are all magical scripts, and the oldest texts of the elves are written in these scripts. It's hard for me to imagine a kingdom that is connected to our words and yet has no connection. ”

"This ......" Luo Ling was thinking about how to answer, when she suddenly noticed that there was movement outside, and noisy voices rang out.

Elaina's long ears moved, "It's on fire." ”

"Go out and have a look. Luo Ling got up and pulled open the tent, almost bumping into Shi Hao and Kalanda who were about to come in.

"What's the situation?" Luo Ling walked out of the tent and saw that there were already fires in two corners of the camp, "Someone set fire?"

Shi Hao and Kalanda glanced at each other and said, "I'm afraid so." If two places are far apart from each other at the same time, it must not be an accident. ”

"The person who set the fire must have fished in troubled waters. Did you send someone to protect Xiao Chen?" Luo Ling asked.

"Xiao Chen?" Shi Hao said in surprise, "Lao Chen led someone to put out the fire, and asked Roger to take his good hands to ambush the people who set the fire to the grain truck." He said that eighty percent of the people who set the fire would want to burn the grain. Could it be that someone wants to deal with Xiao Chen?"

"Xiao Chen is our face to the outside world, and everyone thinks that he, a magician, is our leader. ”

"Damn! According to what you say, Xiao Chen is indeed very dangerous......" Shi Hao said anxiously.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you two hurry up and take someone to find Xiao Chen. Luo Ling said decisively.

"What do you do? In the eyes of those people, you're also a magician. Shi Hao said.

"Then leave one warrior to stay with me, and the others go to find Xiao Chen!"

"I'll stay!" said Kalanda.

Xiao Chen actually discovered the fire around the same time as Luo Ling, and everyone's story was almost told at that time. Xiao Chen was listening to the leader of the squad, an Imperial soldier, tell about his tragic experience. When he spoke of being captured by the kingdom's army and sold as a commodity in the slave market, he suddenly looked at the sky in a daze.

Xiao Chen followed his gaze, and the sky behind him was red, obviously on fire!

The surrounding crowd also saw this scene, and many people panicked.

Xiao Chen immediately stopped these people, told them not to run around and scream, and begged everyone to wake up the people in the surrounding group, gather them to him, and wait for the arrangements in the camp.

There was nothing wrong with these arrangements, but he didn't expect that this move would make Luke, who was ambushed in the shadows, quickly discover him.

A young black-haired magician armed with a magic sword.

In the light of the fire, Xiao Chen, who was dressed in a mage robe, was very recognizable.

"Finally found you!" Luke licked his lips like a predator seeing his prey. He covered his crossbow with a rag, blended in with the crowd, and slowly walked towards Xiao Chen.

"Don't panic, everyone! The fire is still far away from us, and there is no threat to us! Everyone will gather here for a while, and when the people I sent out understand the situation, I will make arrangements. Now everyone is going to sit down and rest in this clearing!" Xiao Chen repeatedly shouted to the people who had gathered one after another.

Xiao Chen's image of killing decisively in the slave camp before is still in the hearts of many people, so his prestige is still quite high, and everyone who came over obeyed his arrangement and sat on the ground.

Caterina was also shouting for him, but she suddenly noticed that a person not far away was not sitting down like the others, but sneakily leaning against a tree, and while staring at Xiao Chen, the person lifted a piece of cloth in his hand, and under that cloth, there was something strange.

It's a black crossbow! Caterina felt like her hairs were going to explode.

"Assassin!" she screamed, using all her strength to fly down on Xiao Chen.

By this time, Luke had already pulled the trigger......
