Chapter 38: Evacuation overnight
It's a pity that Allen's idea is already a flower in the mirror.
Not only did he shoot himself in the foot, but he also caused a lot of losses to the thieves' guild of old Barry.
The two major forces near the Emerald City, just like this, were destroyed like this, and one was greatly damaged, and soon everyone was lost.
The reason why the Dragon's Horn and the Thieves' Guild failed successively was fundamentally because of the rift inside.
Whether it's Alan and Marianda, or Barry Sr. and Rednor, the reason for their mutual struggle is the reason for the weakness of these two forces.
Don took Marianda's arm, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift into the distance, and he began to consider the pros and cons of this battle.
He is a good thinker and likes to learn from experience.
Allen's failure was a good lesson for him.
Don took Marianda's small hand and whispered, "The news of the battle here will spread soon, and once Corbert knows that we are here, he may take action himself, and we will evacuate overnight." ”
Don glanced at Marianda, who had a sad face and a daze expression, took off his thick cloak and put it on her, gently hugged her shoulders and said, "There are a lot of magic materials in the basement of the castle, go and clean up." ”
Bruce pointed to Darui, who had fallen to the ground, and asked Donn, "What about this man?"
Don picked up a long sword and said as he walked, "He has already formed a deep enmity with us for his participation in the killing of Catrod, so it is better to kill him to prevent future troubles." ”
Don walked a few steps in front of Darui, his sword aimed at him in the chest.
At the prompting of the system, Don killed Darui, gaining 40 experience points by the way.
At this time, the entire Shadow Castle was already in chaos, but fortunately, the population of the city was all relatives and family members of the mercenaries, so there was no large-scale killing.
Don took Bruce with him, took in some mercenaries who were willing to follow them, and then went straight to the mercenary group's treasury and began to collect the loot.
Dragon's Horn is a large mercenary group, and its family background is naturally very rich.
In the vault alone, Don found a bag of gold coins, five bags of silver coins, and a box of copper coins.
In addition, dozens of steel swords were found.
These steel swords were bought by Allen and prepared to equip his own guards.
It's a pity that it hasn't been distributed yet, so it's cheaper for nothing.
Under Donn's command, they carried a large amount of salt and grain, and left the Shadow Castle in the dark.
The eight magic apprentices below Marianda were all missing, some of them were unwilling to surrender and Alan was killed, and the other took advantage of the chaos to escape from the castle. He also stole a lot of the magic materials that Marianda had stored.
Fortunately, the precious materials and magic books were packed in the space bag and carried by Marianda with her, so she did not cause a huge loss.
There were only nine people when they came, but when they returned, there were as many as one hundred and thirty, and these were ordinary mercenaries who were willing to follow Tang En and the others.
In addition to these guys, there is also the first-level thief Brand.
Brand was undoubtedly unlucky, having been captured alive during the attack on Donn and Bruce. In order to save his life, he surrendered to Marianda, and in just one day, it fell into the hands of Allen.
Because he was one of Barry Sr.'s men, Alan didn't hurt him when he purged Marianda's cronies, but instead prepared to return him to Barry Sr.
He betrayed Old Barry's information, and once he returned to Old Barry's hands, he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.
Just when Brand was frightened, Don and the others raided the Shadow Castle and killed Allen, and by the way, also rescued Brand.
Carrying a few bags of coins, Donn came to Marianda's side and asked, "How was your harvest?"
"Not to mention, a considerable part of the spell casting materials in the inventory are gone, and this time the loss is really large, at least equivalent to the loss of 15 Hadma Empire gold coins. Lucia waved her hand and said with a sad face.
"I've got a good harvest here, Marianda, guess how much gold I've earned?" Don asked as he looked at Marianda, speechless.
Everything that happened today was quite a huge blow to Marianda's heart.
In order to ease her grief and remorse, Don could only talk to her as much as possible to interrupt her thoughts.
"There were 26 gold coins, 208 silver coins, and as for the box of copper coins, there were 1,243 in total. Marianda said expressionlessly, raising her eyelids.
"How do you know so well?" asked Don with a look of surprise on his face.
Marianda stretched out her white hands, pointed to the ring on her index finger and said, "There is a constant first-level magic counting gold coin on this thing. It's just a gadget, and it has no magic effect other than that. ”
"How about playing with it?" asked Donn, with a serious expression.
This thing was a token of love that Eren gave her, and they exchanged rings with each other that year. Eren gave her this one, and what she left Eren was the precious Elven Lake. For the sake of the precious magic prop of the Elven Lake, she provoked the purple-blooded priest of the Church of Light, leaving behind a curse that had been hated for more than ten years.
Don didn't know this, but he guessed it.
That's why she asked for this ring, so that she wouldn't see things and think about people, and feel sad.
Marianda thought for a while, happily took off the ring in her hand and handed it to Tang Endao: "Take it to play, whoever trades items in the future can use it to probe the other party's bottom line, so as not to be deceived." ”
"Have you found the Elven Lake?" Donn asked Marianda, taking the ring.
"After you killed Allen, I took it off his hand. Marianda let out a long sigh and said with a dejected expression.
Elven Lake Water is a rare bronze-level magic prop, which can not only enhance two physical attributes, but also comes with three spells, namely the first-level magic ice dagger, the second-level magic ice ray, and the third-level magic frozen spear.
These three ice spells do not occupy the mage's spell slot, and for low-level mages, this is a very precious magic item.
Even Donn, a third-level mage, can use this magic item to additionally use the third-level spell Frozen Spear.
Instead, it's an arcane like Marianda, who consumes mana, and this magic item doesn't do much for her.
When Don was just promoted to a professional, he was weakened for a while because of the sequelae of indiscriminate point addition, which caused serious sequelae.
It was because of Marianda's care that he used the Elven Lake water for a while, and it wasn't until his physique improved that he returned the ring to Alan.
For this ring, Marianda's heart is full of pain, and this magic prop brings her painful memories.
So she threw the elven lake water in her hand to Tang En and said, "This thing is the most useful for you, so you should bring it!"
