Early the next morning, Arnold packed up the salutes he had bought yesterday and prepared to go. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lily standing in the door of his room.

Lily had changed out of her barmaid outfit and was dressed in tight leather armor with a longbow on her back, the standard Ranger attire. If those drinkers yesterday saw Lily dressed like this, they would probably be surprised, but none of these people will remember it, including Lily herself, and all these memories will be forgotten with the loss of charm.

Arnold, on the other hand, was still like that, wearing a simple linen shirt and trying to make himself look less conspicuous.

"Are you sure you got the mage of yesterday?" Arnold asked again, uneasy.

"Ann-" Lily held out her hand to pat Arnold on the shoulder, but when she saw Beatrice parked on her shoulder, she withdrew her hand and gave up on it.

Arnold sighed, but at this time he could only trust Lily, although he had always felt that this guy was not very reliable.

The two walked out of the tavern, and everyone in the tavern didn't seem to see them, even the tavern's hostess, who didn't say hello to them.

Walking out of the tavern and looking to the left-hand hand side to see the checkpoint, Arnold couldn't help but tighten his heart again, if Lily's charm failed, then he was afraid that something big would happen this time.

There were quite a few people passing through the sentry in the morning, and there were quite a few people in front of Arnold and Lily, most of them caravan men, who shuttled between the Forta Gen Territory and the Cold Mountain Collar, and barely earned some money to support their families by selling the specialties of the two places.

It's a good thing to wait, but that's a good thing for Arnold and Lily, at least Lily has more time to unleash her charms.

Arnold waited quietly, waiting for his turn. Beatrice was also retracted into his sleeve, and to be honest, Arnold sometimes wondered if the crow was a cat, and the softness and elasticity of the body were unusually good.

When Beatrice stayed in Arnold's sleeve before, she was very quiet, although from the performance, Arnold couldn't see that Beatrice was wise, but after all, this was Serena's demon, maybe she actually had the ability to think. And now, Beatrice suddenly screamed, causing everyone around her to turn their eyes to this side.

Arnold was shocked, and hurriedly patted his sleeve and motioned for Beatrice to be quiet.

However, before Beatrice could calm down, he was punched in the back of the head, and his body fell straight forward.

Lily beside her was trying to charm the sentinels, a job that required concentration, as she had to keep the soldiers in the eye while keeping her movements hidden from being detected. So, when she didn't react immediately, and when Arnold fell, her charm also failed.

Fortunately, this ability would not be noticed by ordinary people, so those soldiers just looked over to this side because of the confusion that happened in the ranks, but they didn't realize that they were almost charmed just now.

Arnold was hit hard in the back of the head, and he fell to the ground again, and his head was shattered, and he didn't understand what had happened for a while. And when he came to his senses, he was already pressed to the ground.

The man grabbed him by the collar and pressed his knee against Arnold's chest, making sure Arnold couldn't get up.

"Ah, sure enough, you should be the guy on the wanted post. ”

The other party's words made Arnold's heart startled, although his head was still a little dizzy, but his mind immediately became active. He saw the other person's face, called Arnold and was a little surprised, this person was the guy he hit yesterday.

"The war streaks on my face are not the same as yesterday's, hmph, I pretended to be like yesterday, Shanli. ”

Arnold subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the war paint he had drawn on his face, but the other party grabbed his wrist first.

"Don't act rashly, you must know that the price of your life is higher than that of your death. As he spoke, the man jerked Arnold's arm, dislocating it.

Arnold couldn't help but exhale in pain.

The line of sentries came to a complete halt, and several sentries approached, as if to see what was going on.

"Sir, I've caught him, this is the man on the wanted warrant!" The guy who pressed Arnold shouted loudly at the sentinels, which made Arnold's heart that couldn't beat tense, he knew that by the man's shout, his plan to sneak through the sentry was completely shattered, even if Lily was too late to charm the sentinels at this time, those people on the watchtower should have heard this.

Several sentries immediately ran over and surrounded Arnold, and a captain-like figure crouched down, rubbing Arnold's face stiffly with his rough palms, and forcibly rubbing off the war marks painted on his face.

"That's right, it's him. The captain nodded, his tone very sure, "Well done, you can go and claim the reward." ”

The corners of the mouth of the person who grabbed Arnold were almost to the root of his ears, he didn't expect that he was so lucky, the person he bumped into on the road yesterday turned out to be a wanted criminal, and more importantly, after thinking about this incident last night, this person actually hadn't left Ximu Town, and he was squatting at the checkpoint early this morning, just catching a positive one.

Arnold was nervous, he couldn't get his hands on the magic scroll in this situation, but his expression was as calm as possible, not wanting to lose the chance to be saved because of his panic. Arnold didn't go to see Lily either, in this case, he had better trust this unreliable helper, if he went to see her himself, it would only reveal Lily's identity.

Lily, who was standing on the sidelines, pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes were fixed on the man who had spotted Arnold, as if to remember the other person's face.

The sentries grabbed Arnold's arm and pulled him off the ground, and then several more sentries took the shackles from the sentry and prepared to cuff Arnold.

With Arnold's physique, if he really wore something so heavy, he would definitely not be able to run away.

However, just as Arnold was about to be shackled, a lightning bolt suddenly shot from the other side of the town, directly roasting the guy who found Arnold into charcoal.

Everyone froze.

Arnold was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted that it was the mage's hand.

"Master Archibald......" The captain of the sentry looked stunned, he didn't understand why the lord's personal mage advisor would suddenly act and kill the person who found the wanted criminal.

Archibald, a mage in a gray cloth robe, walked over with a gloomy face, this was the first time Arnold had seen this mage, last night's action, in fact, only Lily did it, he had never seen this mage at all.

He didn't think he would see the mage in this town.

Archibald walked up to the Sentinel Captain, who didn't look very old, but he had a thick beard and a burly build, unlike the usual image of a mage.

"Captain, I should have said that if the suspect is found, he should have asked me to confirm his identity first. He stared at the other party tightly, and he didn't know if it was because of his mage status or his burly figure, and the sentry captain was immediately shocked by his momentum, "You shouldn't be arbitrary. ”

The Sentinel Captain wisely gave Archibald a way out of the way. "I'm sorry, my lord, but please check the identity of the suspect. ”

Archibald glanced at the captain, then walked straight up to Arnold, not even looking at the pile of coke on the ground.

He looked at Arnold contemptuously a few times, then reached out and said two words to Arnold, as if it were some kind of incantation, but after a while, nothing happened.

Archibald frowned.

"This person is not. He said to the Sentinel Captain, "My spell doesn't work, he's not a wanted criminal." ”

The turn of events almost shook the sentry captain's jaw, he never imagined that this mage would appear so domineeringly, only to tell him that he had caught the wrong person.

"But......" The Sentinel Captain seemed to want to say more.

Archibald glared at the captain, then raised his hand, and another lightning bolt was already forming in his palm.

"You doubt my judgment?"

"No, absolutely not!" the captain quickly denied, he didn't want to be coke, "it's just...... It's just that this person is indeed very similar to the portrait on the wanted warrant, I think it's better to be a little cautious, and let the knights of Lionheart Castle confirm it, if it is confirmed that the arrest is wrong, then there is no hurry to release the person at that time. ”

The electricity in Archibald's palm flickered suddenly, as if it was about to explode, which startled the Sentinel Captain, who didn't want to taste the power of a mage.

"So, you're still doubting my judgment?" the mage pressed towards the sentry captain, and the momentum on his body was enough to completely crush the little sentry captain, "Or do you think the knights of Lionheart Fort are more trustworthy than me, Lord Ferkenri's personal mage advisor?"

"No, this...... I ...... "Captain Sentinel didn't know how to answer at this point, listening to Archibald's words, it seemed that this also involved the issue between Ferken Leader and Fort Lionheart, how could this be a topic that a little Sentinel Captain could put his beak on!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lily suddenly stepped forward and hugged Arnold, who was being grabbed by the sentinels.

"This captain, I assure you, Alans is definitely not a wanted criminal!" Lily looked at the sentry captain with teary eyes, looking pitiful, "Our sister and brother are going to the Pagoda Root Territory this time to participate in the mission issued by the Pagoda Root Lord, I have been with my brother for seventeen years, and he is definitely not a wanted criminal!"

The Sentinel Captain looked at Lily suspiciously, and when he saw Lily's eyes, he made eye contact with the other person, and his mind completely changed.

"Well, you do look like a brother and sister...... "The Sentinel Captain muttered for a moment, agreeing with Lily's statement, "let him go, since Master Archibald has confirmed that this man is not wanted, then there is nothing to be suspicious about." ”

Several sentries immediately let go of Arnold, they didn't know if this person was the one on the wanted notice, but they knew that their captain had already compromised with Master Archibald, or rather, bowed to the pressure given by Master Archibald, as for what kind of pressure was that, they small characters, where did they have the courage to care?

Arnold quickly thanked the captain of the sentry and Archibald, looking panicked, and as soon as the sentinels let go of him, Arnold immediately ran into the arms of his "sister" with his dislocated arm.

"Let's go, let's go—" The Sentinel Captain stared at the pair of charcoal on the ground, then waved his arms irritably, "Hurry up, don't let the line stop!"

After gritting his teeth and asking Lily to help him borrow his arm, Arnold didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, and hurriedly followed Lily past the sentry post.

After leaving Ximu Town for three kilometers and leaving the caravan far behind, Arnold stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to rest.

But as soon as he sat down, he saw Lily staring at him with a playful smile.

"Unexpectedly, it was me who made a mistake. He put down his hydration bladder and let out a long sigh.

"So," said Lily, as she walked up to Arnold, with one hand on his shoulder and the other around Arnold's neck, in a provocative tone, "you'd better trust me a little more, or you'll have a lot of detours to take on your own." ”

Arnold bowed his head and remained silent.

"What are you thinking?" asked Lily.

"I'm wondering......" Arnold looked up at Lily very seriously, "how old are you?"

Lily couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what Arnold meant.

"Does it matter?"

"I don't want to be taken advantage of by you, especially not to give you the opportunity to tell others that we are brothers and sisters. Arnold's expression was unusually serious, not at all like a joke, "Of course, if you say it's my sister, then I can barely accept it." ”

"Die!"
