Chapter 159: The Empty Park
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little solemn, the two captains of the second guard team did not speak after this, when they saw the fire, combined with Thomas's previous words, both of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts, but as the carriage approached, Dimon couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, in this position he could already see that the place where the fire was burning seemed to be some distance from the garrison, y8uncsu vertex update fastest
Naturally, Thomas noticed this, but the captain of the guard did not look relaxed, knocked on the car door, and said to the driver of the car, "Let's go put out the fire first." β
Fifteen minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the fire, and Damon not only saw the nearby residents, but also saw a lot of civilian personnel from the garrison, which also made the deputy captain feel a little relieved, and an archivist named Thatch ran over to them, and briefly reported what was happening here About a quarter of an hour ago, there was a roar of magic coming from here, but there was no armed force left in the garrison at that time, Thatch gathered a few brave male civilians, they ran to the arsenal, and hurriedly grabbed their weapons, and by the time they arrived here, the battle was over, and then everyone began to fight the fire together with the nearby residentsγ
Dimon and Thomas glanced at each other, the captain of the guard was not wrong in his previous guess, but there was a slight deviation, the target of the group tonight was not the garrison, but the house near the garrison, but this can also explain the other party's move to evacuate the garrison, this group of people did not want them to interfere in this matter, nor did they want to clash with the official armed forces in the city of Gudries, which also confirmed from a certain angle that although this group of people acted crazy, they were crazy and very rational.
Thomas said to Thatch, "Go and find out who owns this house and who is connected to him." β
In fact, the captain of the guard has already inferred in his heart, according to the description of the nearby residents, the previous magic explosion lasted for a while, if it was an ordinary house, it would have collapsed a long time ago, but this small building still maintains the integrity of the structure, and Thomas can't believe it without the protection of the magic array.
And when it comes to the captain of the magic guard, he thinks of Gagarin, who has been missing for two weeks, if this is the old magician's hiding place, then Thomas is not surprised at all, this old fox deliberately chose his fox hole only half a street away from the garrison is obviously not a coincidence, once something happens, he can ask the guard for help as soon as possible, but he didn't expect him to provoke such a powerful person this time, and with an anonymous letter, he mobilized the armed forces in the garrison, so that the old magician's wishful thinking failed.
In addition, Thomas also noticed that this fire was almost the same as the one a few days ago, the fire was fierce, but there was a transparent barrier around the small building, so that the raging fire would not spread and affect the nearby residents.
Damon, who was not far away, beckoned to him, interrupting his musings, "Captain, you'd better come and take a look." β
When Thomas heard this, he walked over there, and then he saw a strange guy on the ground, this guy was tightly wrapped in a quilt, his head and limbs were shrunk inside, and he looked a little funny, like a big dumpling, lying on the ground motionless.
"This man we just found in the garden of a nearby house, and you can't guess who he is. Dimon walked over and pulled back the corner of the quilt, revealing the old magician's face.
Thomas frowned, "Murder and abandonment of corpses??"
"No, in fact, he was just asleep, judging by the scars on his body, he should have been hit in the back of the neck, but the man had no malicious intent, this time it was probably to make him unconscious. Dimon paused and said, "But it doesn't make sense at all, if the sender of the letter emptied the garrison tonight for him, why did he spare his life in the end? The other party couldn't have made such a big move just to play a prank, and since Gagarin was not dead, what was the other party set the fire for?"
"We'll probably only know about it when he wakes up. β
............
The young nobleman also saw the smoke in the distance, and a flash of joy flashed on his face, "It looks like they should have succeeded." β
The mid-level mage behind him nodded, "I can already feel the magic mark I planted before. However, after a moment, his face changed, "Wait, it seems that they did not retreat according to the established route. β
The young nobleman was very calm," Don't be nervous, Chris, this is Guderis, the city of magicians, it's normal to have an accident on the way, when I made the plan, I said that they can adapt according to the situation at the time, as long as their identities are not revealed, it's no problem for them to choose whichever path they choose, let's go, we'll go and join them now, the departing ship is ready, we can leave for home tonight, although there were a little waves in the middle, this time the incident ended perfectly, and you will all be rewarded when you return to the family. β
"Thank you, Master Murray. Although the face of the middle-level magician named Chris has not changed, but the bottom of his heart is hot, although what they do in Gudris is dangerous, but the family will never treat them badly, and the rewards after the success are unimaginable to ordinary people, which is why more and more people are willing to defect to the great nobles.
Chris led the way in front, with the rest of the team following him, and the magic marker eventually stopped moving in a small park north of the city.
After about half a magic hour, the team led by the young nobleman and the mid-level magician also arrived there.
The small park in the middle of the night is quiet, and there are no people in sight.
There was an open metal cylinder on the park bench, and Chris motioned for the thieves in the team to step forward and pick it up, revealing that it was the dragon crystal he had marked earlier.
"What about people?" the young nobleman also sensed something wrong at this time, the scene here was not what he had imagined, there were fifteen people he had sent to deal with the old magician, in addition to one team responsible for the hands-on team, there were two teams on call in the dark, responsible for dealing with possible emergencies, and now there was not a single group of people in this group.
The mid-level mage's squad moved faster and had already drawn their weapons, and then they saw the thieves' pupils suddenly dilute like a severed marionette, and they fell to the ground, losing all their life.
Chris seemed to think of something, and his face immediately changed greatly, "Be careful, the other party is a high-level magician, this is a sixth-order wind magic time rift, from now on, everyone should stop moving, your surroundings are actually covered with ......"
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw a fireball flying towards the swordsman in the squad, the swordsman had obviously heard Chris's warning, but in order to avoid the fireball, he had to bow his head, so the next moment his throat was like an invisible dagger cut open, blood stained his shirt red, the swordsman's eyes widened, and he reached out to cover his wound, but the wound was too deep, and the blood flow could not be stopped, and he fell down after a while.
The priest in the squad was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, and just now he wanted to turn over the canopy to release the healing spell for the thief, but after seeing the swordsman's tragic condition, his movements stopped in mid-air.
