Chapter 12: The Thief in the Rain
Chapter 12: The Thief in the Rain
The rain trickled down the cloak and into Donn's body, making him feel badly slippery. Don was very eager to use his magical abilities to solve this difficulty, but his poor magical abilities undoubtedly couldn't do that.
Even now, there were only ten types of magic he could use, of which there were six types of zero ring magic and four types of one-ring magic. These magic skills did not allow him to solve all his problems.
The bad weather made Don feel very bad, and he stabbed Bruce in the waist and said, "Bruce, how much money do you think it will cost to bother a great magician to protect you in this weather, and how about fifty silver coins?"
"My good brother, what is our relationship, how can it be measured by the stench of money. Isn't the friendship of your friend Bruce worth fifty silver coins? The great Bruno once said that money has a price, and great friendship cannot be measured by money. Bruce obviously didn't want to pay a penny, and he decided to lie tricks to the end.
Bruno is one of the three most important of the human gods, and before the Great War of the Ancients, he was the most famous adventurer on the continent of Reos.
He held the laws of fairness and justice, and founded the Church of Justice and Justice, which is now the Empire of Hadmar, a country founded by Bruce's partner.
Donn waved his hand, apparently unfazed by Bruce's quibbles. Donn obviously had a way to deal with Bruce's miserliness, and he picked up the snake horn bow on his body and smiled: "Money can keep us fed and clothed, it can also allow me to learn the magic knowledge I like, and it can make Miss Merchant Dietrich change her mind." If you don't pull it out, this powerful enchanted item may have to change owners. ”
"My Donn, the Serpent's Horn Bow is mine now, and no one can take it away, and your brother can't threaten me with that. Bruce shook the rain off his body and said casually.
"My good brother Bruce, you know I'm an Arcanist, and so is Lady Marianda. There are always many ways for people like us, and this bow and arrow, as a work of art for us to refine, will always leave some special back doors. If you want to use it in perfect condition, you'll need to pay for it. Tang En shook the enchanted bow and arrow in his hand and said proudly.
Bruce didn't have any good idea of Donn's threat, but he really didn't want to pay it back, after all, it was a huge sum of five Hardmar Empire gold coins. So this old man could only pretend to be an ostrich and strode towards the Emerald City regardless of it.
The weather was still very good when Don and the others came out of the Hidden Castle, and it was pouring rain in less than two hours.
Don looked at the rain and the dim sky, and felt a sinister energy fill the air.
The rain poured down like a flood from the sky, crackling against the stone wall.
Don narrowed his eyes and said to Bruce, who was walking in front, "Bruce, when was the orc invasion last year?"
"In November, why are you asking this?" asked Bruce after a slight pause.
"I felt a hint of evil energy, and I always felt that the orcs would invade on a large scale in the near future. ”
"No, orcs only invade on a large scale in winter, this is common knowledge in the northern regions of the Hadma Empire.
It's just summer, and it's still early to face the orc invasion.
Moreover, the orc invasion is a big deal for the northern border, and Alan and others will have to worry about it at that time. Bruce was clearly unconcerned about Donn's concerns, so he said disapprehantly.
"I've always felt that Eren has something to hide from us, recently we have entered the Horn Forest twice in a row, and four professionals have been injured in succession, just to find the frost grass. Frost Grass, our mercenary group has been looking for it, and I don't know why we are so eager recently. It was only when he faced Bruce as a friend that Don sometimes revealed his true feelings.
"Maybe it's because of Ms. Marianda's condition. Bruce whispered.
"No, I'm a student of Lady Marianda, and I know her health best. In fact, over the years, Ms. Marianda has not advanced, and has gradually suppressed the old wounds, even without frost grass, she can support it for a long time. Donn shook his head, interrupting Bruce's guess.
For a while, the two of them were so preoccupied that no one spoke.
It was raining heavily on all sides.
"Bruce, don't act alone these days, think twice about what you do, I always feel like something bad is going to happen recently. My hunch has always been accurate, you should know that. Donn broke the silence and said to Bruce cautiously.
Don and Bruce have a deep friendship, and although the two often quarrel with each other, they are friends of life and death who sacrifice their lives for each other.
Although Bruce is stingy, he has saved Donn's life many times on the battlefield. Both of them knew something about each other, and hearing Donn's serious words, Bruce nodded heavily, secretly remembering it in his heart.
The two of them walked one after the other, and just entered the gate of the Emerald City, only to see two swords and lightning shooting towards the two.
Bruce stepped forward and got in front of Donn, yelling, "Be careful. ”
In the face of danger, Don did not panic, and he immediately cast a ring of magic spell shields.
Spell Shield: A ring of magic that consumes 13 mana points to form a three-foot square spell shield that can withstand three attacks with a cast strength of less than 3 degrees.
I saw a three-foot-square shield hovering in front of Bruce in the air, blocking the sneak attack of the two throwing knives.
Then Bruce quickly drew his bow and shot a dark shadow in front of him.
Bruce's archery is very accurate, and Donn estimates that his archery skills are at least above 15 points, and possibly more than 20 points.
Even Donne, who learned bows and arrows with him, has reached 11 points in archery skills, surpassing the average elite marksman.
Don expected it to be good, and Bruce's archery skills quickly took off.
I saw the black shadow in front of me swaying slightly, and I fell into the rain and wailed.
The two glanced at each other, their eyes showing a little doubt, and the two left the place carefully, avoiding the city guards who heard the sound and chased after them.
The two of them walked around the city in a hurry, aimlessly passing through a dozen streets and stopped, just as they breathed a sigh of relief.
A lasso flew from the window of the street, firmly grasping the serpent's horn bow.
Don struggled to grab the Serpenthorn Bow and was about to pull the man out of the window, when he felt a strong force coming from his hand.
Don only felt a numbness in his hands, and involuntarily let go of his hands, and then there was a noise in the street house, and the people inside took the enchanted bow and arrow, and immediately disappeared without a trace.
