Chapter 38 Landing on the Island

The middle-aged man took the three Tarrants to Two's office, where the nameplate read: Deputy Commander Richie. (Please remember our)

"The letter says you're tracking down an extremely dangerous mage?" Richie looked at the letter.

"Yes, he is planning a huge conspiracy that cannot be predicted", Tarrant looked at the surrounding arrangement, the very regular government office dress, there were no superfluous fancy things, Wen Jiàn was neatly arranged in the cabinets by the wall, it can be seen that the owner of the office is a strict rule-abiding person.

"What great conspiracy can take place on the island of Gilu? It is a small island, there are no more than 300 people, there are no vigilantes, there is no crime, and a stranger who lands on the island in a year can count them on ten fingers. ”

"Gilu Island is just a real place," Tarrant said, "and the mage needs to prove the viability of his plan first, he may have arrived on the island last night." ”

"I must warn you that there is a heavy fog on the river tonight, the visibility on the island of Gilu is not very good, and the inhabitants of the island do not provide accommodation, they do not have a good opinion of the people with weapons, and the only way to return from the island is a small boat for four hours. ”

Kira Veton turned to look at Tarrant, "Is he threatening us not to go to the island?

"Ma'am," Richie sat upright, the second time the priest had contradicted his opinion, and he would normally be a little angry as a prefect, but Richie was very good, "I am reminding you that it is not the most suitable time to land on the island, and that I can arrange for someone to take you there tomorrow morning." ”

"Do we have a communication barrier? We're going to go now," Kira Veton continued to fight mercilessly.

Richie looked at her with a blank look in his eyes that seemed to remember her face forever, "In that case, I respect your decision. ”

"Sir," Catrina said, "there's a castle on Gilu Island, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Who is its current owner?"

"A mage named Jim. ”

Jim, the dwarves and halflings liked such names, and Tarrant, believing it to be a pseudonym, asked, "Is he an illusionist?"

"No, a summoning mage. He's the one you're after?" Ricci Elillo, surprised.

"We're looking for an illusionist", maybe that summoner was another of Lovell's apprentices, Tarrant guessed.

"Jim doesn't move much, but I've met him once, and he's a well-spoken, well-read, good citizen. ”

"Haha", Kilavidon sneered loudly, and did not say anything, causing the other three to look at her inexplicably.

A quick footstep stopped outside the door, "Sir"

Tarrant looked back at a tall soldier, about thirty years old, leather boots, neat short hair, slightly high eyebrow bones, a less obvious scar under his left eye, his arms were well-proportioned, a short sword hanging from his left waist, and a longbow and a quiver were on his back.

"Conasius, come in. ”

"Yes sir" the soldier stepped forward, in standard military posture, he must have served in the army.

"I hope it doesn't affect your schedule, I have a mission here," Richie said.

The "No Commander" soldier's eyes were completely on the Commander's face, and he didn't even seem to see the other three people in the office.

"These are adventurers from Siant, and they're looking for a dangerous mage, and there's evidence that the dangerous one is on the island of Gilu. ”

The soldier's eyes simply swept over the three Tarrants and quickly returned to the commander's face, "I understand, sir, I'm ready"

"Very good," Richie said, pointing to the soldier and introducing Tarrant, "this is Wilsing's best strong archer, Conasius, who shoots three arrows in five seconds and hits 100 percent." ”

Previously, the best strong archer record on the continent was three arrows in four seconds, a difference of one second, so to speak, there are not many people who can shoot three arrows in five seconds, Tarrant only nodded slightly.

"That's on horseback," Richie added, "Conasius served in the cavalry. ”

With an expression of amazement, Tarrant asked, "Where are you serving?"

"Where's that? Conaxiu. ”

"Mayor of Nai'an"

"Yes, a town next to Comohe," Richie nodded, "and you take the three of you to Gilou Island tonight and bring back the good news." ”

"Good sir"

"Go, take our teleporter. ”

Conasius turned to the three Tarrants and said, "This way." ”

"Thank you for your help," Tarrant thanked the deputy commander and followed Conasius out the door.

"A letter with a reinforcement?" Kiraweton grumbled at the back of the line, "delaying us by two hours." ”

Tarrant clasped his hands up, "The vigilantes already know our mission, if we go to Gilu Island and don't come back, more people will go", he noticed that there were two arrows without arrows in Conasius's quiver, and the ends of the arrows were black solid, "Conasius", he cried.

The soldier turned around and stood straight, "what's the problem"

"You have two arrows in your quiver without arrows?"

"Yes, signal arrows, which rub and catch fire when fired into the sky. ”

"Does Wilsin use this?"

"The security forces in nearby towns use these arrows, and when they see the signal, other teams will arrive. ”

Tarrant remembered the patrol in the town of Genco, and there was also an archer at the back of the team, and his arrow was pointing at the sky at that time, which was originally about to send a signal, which may be due to the complexity of Wilsing's personnel, and it is inevitable that people from too many regions will gather together, and sending signal arrows is conducive to rapid assembly.

Conasius walked down the stairs to the inner hall.

"I haven't introduced myself yet," Tarrant thought was necessary, "Your name is Conasius, right, I'm the asylum...... I'm Paladin Tarrant, Priest Kira Vedon, and the mage is Katrina. ”

The soldier stopped and saluted the three soldiers, "Hello"

"How long have you been in Naian, and when did you come to Wilsing?" Tarrant was curious about the experience, perhaps they had seen it before.

"After three years of service, I was transferred to Wilsing last year. ”

The timing was wrong, Conasius didn't participate in the Battle of Tinworth Mountain, and Tarrant asked, "Was the commander Warren at that time?"

The soldier turned his head sideways, "My cavalry captain is a paladin," and he continued to walk forward into the Sheriff's teleportation station, and said to a mage, "Gilu Island, four." ”

"Conasius, you are too dedicated, the chiefs let you do everything, no small pressure", Conasius did not answer, and the mage continued, "The weather is not good tonight, should you drink a cup of hot water to refresh yourself?" he took a careful sip of a cup of hot water.

The Soldier stands on a teleportation platform, as standard as a statue.

"Okay, I'll be on duty tonight with one mage, one by one", the mage put down his cup, "I'll teleport you to a clearing in front of the fishing village of Jilu Island, I'll put you at a height of 2 meters just to be safe, remember to prepare." ”

The soldier takes off his longbow and says, "Begin." ”

Connasius was the first, the priest the second, and Tarrant the third.

After the teleportation circle ended, Tarrant's whole person fell, his feet stepped heavily on the grass, the cold air, affected by the river, the temperature on the island was always lower than that of the city, a faint mist took advantage of the dark night to shrink the visibility to about ten meters, and the breath inhaled into the nasal cavity was filled with the smell of algae on the sea surface.

"Ahh

"Lead the way, soldier", Kira Veton pulled out his macehead, "Castle." ”

"This way," Conasius walked forward, "through the village." ”

Tarrant hugged Katrina, "Keep up, this weather might get lost, Conasius, have you been here before?"

"Twice. ”

"What are you doing here?" asked Tarrant.

"The first time was to get acquainted with the island, and the second time was half a year ago, when the mage of the National Geographic Society needed a guide. ”

As the four of them walked through the white mist, an eerie building came into view, a thatched hut, the main frame of wood supporting the main body of the house two feet above the ground, the doors and windows were closed, and the hallway in front of the door was empty.

"We're in the fishing village," says Katrina.

"It's really unpopular that such a thick fog can gather in the village", Tarrant grabbed Katrina's hand, and more grass huts appeared, without a trace of fire.

"It's too quiet," Catrina kept looking around, there was no sound in the hut, and the whole island seemed to be just the four of them.

Connasius took out the arrow and hung it on the string, "vigilant" in an urgent tone.

"What's the problem?" Tarrant pulled out the snow and sent the mage to the middle of the group with his left hand, "Katrina, prepare to shine with the light." ”

"Hmm", the mage took out his staff.

"Usually they will light a light in front of the fishing village to prevent passing boats from hitting the reef and let the fishermen come back with guidance. ”

Now there is no light at all, it is impossible for the fishermen to forget such an important matter, something must have happened, Tarrant entered a defensive position, "Could it be that Lovell has already made a move." ”

"It's too much time wasted", Kirawiton's dissatisfaction reached its peak, "You should just listen to me, come here directly"

"Let's take a look at the grass hut first, the door hasn't been smashed, and there are no signs of fighting on the street, maybe...... It's just sleeping, they didn't notice the navigation lights went out", Tarrant pointed to the nearest grass hut, and although he said the best possibility, he had prepared for the worst in his heart, and clenched the hilt of his sword in his right hand.

The squad moved in a semicircle, with Tarrant at the front, the priest and archers on either side, the mage in the center of the circle, they stopped in front of the hut, the mage nervously stepped up the stairs, "Will it disturb their rest......

"Knock," Kiraweton whispered.

Katrina tapped lightly on the door, and the door opened, and she stepped back in shock, "The door is unlocked. ”

"Go in and see, don't be a fool," the priest turned to glare at her.

"Hmm......" Catrina held her staff in front of her and cautiously leaned into the cabin.

"How's it going?" Tarrant asked anxiously.

"No one," the mage walked out quickly, "everything is well placed, but there is no one." ”

"Let's go look at the building opposite," Tarrant guarded, and the team moved to another hut.

When Katrina walked out of the doorway, there was only disappointment on her face, "No one either. ”

"There is no entertainment for the inhabitants of the island?" Tarrant confirmed.

"No," Connor replied.

"Where did they go?"

"In my opinion," Kira Veton took a sip of dragon wine, "this is already a dead village." ”
