Chapter 12 Observations

"We?" Arnold frowned, "I don't think I've heard of it, you're going to come with me." ”

"What if that's not the case? I deliberately ran to Lengshan to get it, do you think that I am just here to help you pass the checkpoint?" Lily covered her mouth and laughed, teasing Arnold with a narrow corner of her eyes, "Your sister, but entrust me to take good care of you, after all, if there is no one to help, it will be difficult for you to even live on your own, young master?"

"Don't pretend to be garlic with me. Arnold reached out again to grab Lily, but this time the blonde girl easily dodged Arnold's hand, "Don't try to lie to me, I know your details." ”

"Then the choice is yours. Escaping lightly from Arnold's hand, Lily stood on the stairs, looking at Arnold defiantly with her slender neck high, "If you had enough people, you wouldn't have asked for me, and for you and Serena now, every helper should be cherished, right?" ”

Arnold frowned again, this woman is too difficult to deal with, she is very good at dealing with others, especially guessing other people's thoughts, which makes Arnold feel a little tricky.

"What do you want to do, what do you want from me?" Arnold would not think that the other party was simply in friendship for helping him, judging from this woman's every move, the other party must have a special purpose, "We had better negotiate the terms openly and honestly, so as not to doubt each other." ”

"If what I want is you......" Lily walked up, rubbing Arnold's face with her reddened nails, and nakedly teasing the teenager, "will you give it to me?"

Arnold was not completely unresponsive to such a temptation from a young beauty, he raised his head and squinted at Lily, his eyes could not tell whether it was confusion or caution. However, the movements of his hands were indeed quite bold, directly hugging Lily's waist and pulling this extremely charming body into his arms.

"You know, what I'm thinking right now?" Arnold whispered softly in Lily's ear, and the breath that came out of the boy's mouth was all on Lily's eartips and sideburns, making the girl who had been actively teasing Arnold tremble twice, and her breathing became a little rapid.

"You're ...... What do you think?" Lily stared at Arnold's neck in a daze.

"Your identity. Arnold suddenly pushed Lily away, and suddenly behaved rejecting thousands of miles away, "Night Demon, or Bloodline?"

Lily was slightly stunned, then retracted her pretended charming smile and looked at Arnold with admiration.

"How did you guess?"

"Isn't that easy? Arnold pointed to his temple, "You're a reinforcement from Serena, and you're not here to help me for a general pay, so there's only one possibility I can think of." Look, it's easy to guess, isn't it?"

Lily nodded, acknowledging the other party's speculation.

"Well, I'm not going to continue to hide it from you, keeping it to someone like you will only cause us trouble. She stretched out her hand and made a gesture to shake hands, "I'll help you, first, because of the order, and secondly, I'm also interested in this matter." It's been a long time since Lord Belel has been in the human realm, and even if he doesn't appear, he rarely interferes in human affairs, and this time, he actually turned you into his dependent, so I wonder why you let Lord Belel look so differently. ”

Arnold subconsciously touched his heart, he believed that Lily was telling the truth, but it should only be part of the truth. But this is enough, the first time we meet, no one will completely explain their details to each other.

"I see, then please. With that, Arnold turned and prepared to go to his room.

"Do you trust me?"

"Sort of. Arnold stopped.

"My room. He turned around and looked at Lily, "Paid." ”

Lily covered her mouth and snickered, she was waiting for this scene.

——————————————————

While there was still some time left for today, Arnold was going to the town to buy some things, and the next way to the Futagan Collar was to rely on the map and Lily's navigation, so it was necessary to be fully prepared.

Arnold didn't plan to buy weapons and armor, he was not good at martial arts, he was not in good health before, so there was no way to practice, so now, his skills are also pitiful, not to mention that he is quite ignorant of how to choose weapons and armor. Therefore, if you insist on getting yourself a bunch of equipment, I am afraid that it will backfire.

He bought many items that were necessary for the journey, such as dry food, clothes, sleeping blankets, ropes, torches, and the like in case of emergency. As a border town, Ximu Town naturally has no shortage of these things, and the grocery stores in the town can buy them, and if you can afford it, you can even hire two mercenaries with good skills in the tavern.

After buying these things, Arnold still has a lot of money left. He wasn't worried about danger on the road, with Beatrice and Lily, he believed that the average bandit wouldn't be a match at all.

The problem is still in the checkpoint, although he is ready to break in if Lily's charm fails, but if he can, he definitely doesn't want to do it, once he forcibly breaks the card, then Tegman must know that Arnold is going to the Vortagan Territory, and then he can completely negotiate with the Vortagan Territory and ask the other party to extradite Arnold.

In this case, Arnold's plan will not be carried out.

Arnold, just in case, decided to take a look around the outpost and at least find out what was going on with the mage. Arnold himself is not a mage, but after so many years of being around Serena, he still has a considerable sense and familiarity with magic.

Walking to the northeast end of the town, which was originally a passage to the Vortagan Territory, there was only a simple wooden stake fence around the town, and it was generally only possible to defend against some wild boars and other fierce beasts, if it was really an enemy attack, these wooden stakes would not have much defensive effect at all.

However, at the gate at the northeast end, a very strict guard was set up, and a stone tower was erected on each side, and a team of soldiers firmly guarded the place, and even an iron fence was put on the river, which was of course not used to intercept fish, but was specially set up to prevent people from smuggling.

Creekwood is flanked on either side by the remnants of the scorching mountains, the towering walls are not so easy to climb, and anyone who tries to exit through these cliffs will be immediately shot by the sentries below.

Of course, there were no such strict sentry posts on the original border, and although Leng Shan Ling had always had a law to collect taxes on those who crossed the border, the sentinels mostly turned a blind eye to those who took risks. However, this time, they were strictly ordered by the duke, but they did not dare to be as careless as usual, and they all paid twelve points of attention, staring at everyone who crossed the border.

Arnold looked from afar, there were at least twenty soldiers guarding the checkpoint, and it was not known how many were on the two guard towers. Although Arnold had killed almost a number of Davide's soldiers in the forest before, it was because of the terrain of the forest and the advantage of the night, if he rushed head-on, he was afraid that he would be shot into a sieve by the archers on the watchtower in one shot.

And more importantly, there are not many scrolls in Arnold's hand, although these things are very light and suitable for carrying around, but Serena's energy and magic are limited, and it is already her limit to be able to make so many for Arnold, and no amount of Arnold can take it.

Maybe Lily's strength is enough for her to rush the card head-on, but if she does, then it will not be Duke Tagman who will be alarmed, and probably the church will also be alarmed.

So you can only outwit it.

After looking at it for a while, Arnold didn't see the mage Lily said at all, which was normal, how could Earl Fricken's personal mage advisor stay on the sentry post like ordinary sentries? Arnold guessed that the mage should be in the sentry tower, or in some house close to the sentry post, through magic sensing or some kind of device to check on the sentry.

If so, I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem. Lily's plan was a bit taken for granted, if she couldn't see the mage himself, how could she charm him?

Thinking of this, Arnold decided to go back to the tavern and discuss it with Lily.

Just as he turned around and was about to walk back, he happened to bump into someone.

"Hey, look at it!" The young man who was hit by Arnold looked very unhappy, and directly pushed Arnold, "Won't you walk to see if there is anyone in front of you?"

With that knocking Arnold's package to the ground, he frowned, and then crouched down to pick up his belongings, while slightly sideways his eyes to observe the movement on the other side of the checkpoint. Fortunately, there were still a lot of people passing by the sentry at this time, and the sentries did not notice the commotion here.

"I'm sorry, it was me who was careless. Arnold didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he chose to swallow his anger so as not to attract the sentinels' attention.

The young man looked at Arnold carefully, which made the young man feel a little nervous, because he knew that his wanted warrant must have been plastered all over the entire cold mountain collar, so Arnold tried his best to disguise himself, wearing an inferior linen shirt, and at the same time his face was painted with the war paint that the mountain people often painted on his face, but he was too thin and weak, and he didn't look like a qualified mountain man at first glance.

Finally, the young man frowned, spat a few swear words like "mountain guys", and walked away.

Arnold breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back at the sentry post, and made sure that the sentries hadn't noticed him, he was relieved to pack up the things that had fallen on the floor and prepare to return to the tavern.

As soon as he returned to his room, he saw Lily in his room.

"I didn't seem to ask for room service. Arnold placed the purchase on the table, then looked at Lily with a frown.

"What, you don't want to take the initiative to deliver the service to your door?" Lily stepped on the stool with one foot, as if she was deliberately showing off her long legs, so that the legs wrapped in leather pants could show off their beauty, "I'm afraid that you will be lonely, so I put down other guests to accompany you." ”

Arnold stared at Lily's legs, he hadn't noticed them before, Lily's legs were indeed very long, and with her tall figure and charming face, even if she was wearing an inconspicuous bartender outfit, she was extraordinarily beautiful and graceful.

"Since you're here yourself, it's just right, I have something to say to you. Arnold took the basin, scooped up a handful of water, washed his face, and washed off the war streaks on his face.

"Oh-" Lily deliberately dragged out her outdo, looking at Arnold with interest, "What, have you figured it out? Sister can teach you a lot of things about grown-ups, little virgin." ”

Arnold sighed, then patted his sleeve and signaled that Beatrice, who was hiding inside, could come out.

As soon as she saw Beatrice, Lily's momentum immediately withered in half.

"I'm going to tell you two things, first, your plan has a loophole. Arnold held up a finger and looked at Lily very seriously, "You can't see the mage on the other side of the sentry, you can't charm the mage in the first place." If he notices it, then your plan has failed. ”

Lily bit her lip, something she hadn't really expected.

"What, humans are lazy. She made an excuse for her mistake, "Then what do you think should be done?"

"Find the mage. Arnold's gaze suddenly turned cold, "Then you go and charm him, but you can't kill him, if the mage is dead, then our whereabouts will be completely exposed, and the Duke will know my whereabouts immediately." ”

Lily nodded, confident in her seduction.

"Well, tonight, I'll feel the magic in the town, and then I'll know where the mage is hiding. As she spoke, she glanced at Beatrice, who was standing on Arnold's shoulder, and seemed to be apprehensive.

"What is the second thing. ”

"Second thing......" Arnold raised a second finger and his face turned unpleasant, "I'm not a virgin." ”
