Chapter 167: The Cabin
Kira Veton changed his position and continued to recline, "The hut, how much bigger than this town? I guess there are two reclusive halflings living there." ”
"Take every chance you can," Tarrant cheered up, "we'll go there tomorrow." ”
"There must be a clue", Katrina slapped the table, the ground shook slightly, and a new cycle was about to begin, "Do you want to gather first?"
"I'll wait at the junction out of town," Tarrant got up and walked out.
The floor creaked and cracked into a long gap.
"Okay, intersection", Katrina jumped out of the tavern, and the entire wall collapsed.
Under the torn sky, the three nodded goodbye to each other.
"Coo-coo", Tarrant opened his eyes, reached for the feather that was about to land on the tip of his nose, and he got up and shook off the dust from his armor and walked towards the town.
The team assembled outside the town as planned, with Tarrant leading the way to the peak.
Time passed as smoothly as the first day they had come into the world, and the march of the three of them was like a dull and unthemed painting, "I can't hold on anymore", Kira Veton was the first to speak in silence, "My life is dull and bleak without dragon wine." ”
"Faith ignites the light of life," Tarrant glanced, the battle of faith between the two had never ended.
"Is that what it means? Like Blengue and the woman?"
Tarrant paused, "It's Cho Penny's noble faith that keeps us alive, and she's capable enough to kill us all, but she's chosen to give up her life. ”
"No, no, no, it was your cowardly and withdrawn justice that chose to give up our lives, and that sword could have brought her down, but you hesitated! Yes, like Blenger, who never threw the final blow. Stupid dog servant. ”
Tarrant took a deep breath, briefly sorted out his vocabulary, and said, "So you have been stripped of your status as a servant by God. ”
"Haha, you're accusing me of not being a good priest?" Kirawiton leaned closer to Tarrant.
"We've got to hurry," said Katrina, walking alone.
Tarrant didn't continue arguing, "yes, hurry." Nicole's affairs are so important that debating an identity-deprived priest won't change any of the facts.
Gilaviton took a sip of her wine, "Annoying teammate," she looked up at the sky, "If we can get out, will it be Nicole who will greet us?"
"It can only be her," said Tarrant, undisputed, "The crystal ball is a vital prop, and she won't give it to anyone else." ”
Catrina in front of her added: "The crystal ball is about betting. ”
"Then a plan was needed to subdue her. She's more vile and shameless than Lovell and the bald guys", and before waiting for her teammates' answer, Kira Veton thought of another point, "Paladin, how much does that 'brother' of yours know?"
Tarrant lowered his head, there was no evidence now that he was involved or not involved in the bet, his relationship with Nicole was extraordinary, but it was possible that he was just being used by Nicole, Tarrant preferred to believe that Malcoln was on the side of justice. Not only because he is the leader of Siant's elite, but also because he is a partner who grew up together.
"If Malcoln agrees to assist Nicole, this plan can be implemented perfectly". Kira Veton speculated, "No one would or dare to doubt these two supreme officers, no, maybe someone doubted, Langton Paladin Haun, Lion Shal Shrevan. Criminals who were already wanted by the Royal Guard, others who discovered the secret did not even leave alive. ”
"Don't judge," Tarrant didn't want to see that happen.
"What are you resisting, are you worried that we are not opponents?" Kirawiton winked at the mage in front of him, "Indeed, we have no chance of winning. There is not even a chance to escape like a male lion. ”
Tarrant looked sideways at Kira Vidon, "If we are still in the tower, then on both sides of the city wall are the garrisons of the security forces, they are not under the jurisdiction of the royal guards, as long as we make a little noise to attract the security forces, we will have a chance, and there will be elite mages at the city gate to temporarily restrain Nicole, even in the worst case...... Our sacrifice will be worth it if we can expose Nicole's plan", Tarrant continued to bump into Katrina in front of her, who was standing still.
In front of us was the peak, not too high, with neat rows of trees rising up and the slope flat, like a royal back garden.
"See anything?" Kirawiton pinched his waist.
Katrina shook her head, "I remember where the hut was in the middle of the slope, but I'm not sure if it's in our direction, I use levitation to scout, and you follow my direction." ”
Tarant nodded, "If you see something, join us immediately, don't risk it." ”
"I understand", Katrina chanted softly, two slight currents in the air gathered around her hands, and the whole person slowly rose,
The squad marches uphill in a triangular queue led by a mage.
"She's making rapid progress," said Kira Veton suddenly, "and yesterday she was stumbling around over the woods. ”
Tarrant looked up at the mage in the sky, her expression was solemn and cautious, the levitation technique was very good, but ...... What worries Tarrant is the look of reluctance to compromise and give up.
"Why don't you let her do what she wants?" the priest lowered his voice.
"What do you know?"
"I don't know, but Kira Vedon's instincts are always right, and you're stopping her from moving forward. ”
"What if there is a price to be paid to move forward? Maybe life. ”
"The Great has to go through this stage, and if the title you call her 'Great Master' is just a joke, then you are a complete bastard, and Katrina will do everything in her power for that title. ”
Tarrant couldn't argue with it, he wanted Catrina to fulfill her long-cherished wish to become a great mage, and at the same time he didn't want her to take any risks, the priest was right, Tarrant didn't even know what he wanted.
"She knows the risks ahead, Catrina is an apprentice but not a child", the woods in front of her were slightly denser, and Kira Veton pulled away laterally, and the two stopped talking.
Tarrant pressed the hilt of his sword, his mind tangled in the topic just now, if Catrina insisted on studying negative energy, I am afraid he would no longer be able to protect her, and there was nothing he could do in that unknown realm.
The mage lowered her height and turned to the right, she found something, Tarrant gestured for the priest to be on alert, and the mage's height gradually decreased and finally landed on the grass in front of her, "Just ahead, there is a wooden house." ”
"Looks like Nicole has met her nemesis," Kira Veton snorted quietly, apparently still teasing the proverb.
"Is there anyone in the cabin?" Tarrant headed to the right.
"I don't have enough vision," said Katrina, who simply straightened out her wrinkled robe after levitation, "I'm afraid of being discovered." ”
"You're doing the right thing," Tarrant gestured, Type I battle queue, "Kira Veton keeps his distance from me. ”
After about 100 feet of woods, a simple wooden house was lonely in a small circular clearing, with the wooden door open, the interior too little light to see, and there were no footprints in the clearing.
Tarrant gripped the hilt of his sword and strode closer, the hut was as strange as a halfling town, and if anyone lived in this environment, at least a pile of firewood could be seen, and there should be footprints on the ground...... Wait, Tarrant noticed a line of faint traces, like footprints, no shoes, slightly larger strides, running humans?He approached the cabin, and looked through the window of the cabin, the interior was very simple, no, it would be more accurate to say that the room was empty and there was only one bed, "Is there anyone?"
There was no response, and as expected, Tarrant released the hilt of his sword and made a safe gesture to his distant teammates.
Kira Veton walked slowly, gesturing behind Tarrant.
Tarrant turned around following the gesture, a man stood abruptly six feet away, light green skin, rough torn leather coat, a head taller than Tarrant, thin body, but his expression was very excited, Tarrant took a step back, he didn't hear any footsteps, there was absolutely no person in his field of vision just now, and the sudden appearance made him not know how to respond to the other party's expression.
The green man spoke strange language: "das-lops-bons!" (To be continued......)
