Like a fly, Calenda waved at the guards who had finally arrived, asking them to make way for Link, who was holding him hostage.
Under the orders of their employers, the guards, who were usually inseparable, had to follow from a distance and did not dare to approach.
There is only one exit to the arena, but there are more than a dozen dark underground passages, and even the mercenaries who have been here all year round dare not pack their tickets and walk through.
Click!
The characteristic sound of metal spreads through the narrow passage.
Link stopped, and the hand holding Calenda trembled, shaking the chubby nobleman dizzy.
"Smart people don't play tricks in such situations. ”
"It's not my fault! All the roads leading to my apartment are full of traps just in case, and I never have to walk back with my feet. Calenda's pig-killing howl echoed through the passageway.
This is true, if Link hadn't stopped him in time, Calenda would have escaped using the teleportation scroll.
Having worked with slum outcasts for a long time, Doyle considers himself more experienced in dealing with this type of treacherous character, but Link politely rejects her offer with his thick skin.
Asa touched the front of the team the first time Link stepped on the trap. I finally have a chance to play his role, and if I don't show it well, I'm ashamed of this God-given opportunity.
The sound of disarming the trap rang out one after another, each time giving Calenda a look of pain. These traps cost him a lot of money, and resetting them was a big expense.
"Are you alright?" Campano, who noticed the mage's pale face and was usually silent, asked about Wengers' injury.
"Out of the way. Wengers gritted his teeth. The pain of the wound was secondary, and the Devil-Breaking Arrow emptied his magical power, which was what Wengers was really worried about. Mages who can't cast spells have no ability to protect themselves at all, and in the event of an emergency, even if Wilfredo will not die. It is inevitable that there will be situations where the power is not enough.
Hearing the mage's insincerity, Doyle slowed down and walked to the end of the group.
For her voluntary behavior, Wilfrey sighed silently in her heart.
Regardless of their identities or experiences, they all have too many similarities. Sacrificed by his parents and betrayed by his family. lost the Qiē that he had worked hard for since childhood, and had no choice but to leave the country. He can still choose the path for his ideals, but her fate is set early because of her bloodline, and there is no chance to turn over. If it weren't for the blessing of the children of nature, I'm afraid of ......
Shaking his head, Wilfredo threw the ill-fashioned thought out of his mind.
Now is not the time to think about this, the most important thing now is to get back the contract that risked your life.
The Shadow Thief showed his worth in the secret passages, and in a short time, he cleared the trap that led to Calenda to the hideout.
Link kicked open the iron door that required several people to push. The stone chambers built underground are luxuriously furnished. From the furnishings to the purely decorative frescoes, they are all incompatible with the Blood Arena, and the room alone is thought to be the bedroom of some nobleman.
With a pop, Calenda fell to the ground, the unhealed wound on her hand staining the delicate carpet a blinding red.
"Take out the contract. ”
Link said plainly, Calenda's back molars were about to crush.
This bastard......
Suppressing the anger churning in his chest, the usually imposing arena manager lifted the gorgeous carpet. Pulling out the tab hidden beneath a movable floor tile, the hard stone flips and sinks with a click. A half-human-high pit was revealed, and the polished bricks were painted with bright red incantations.
Calenda bit her finger and dripped blood onto the circle, opening the vault of hidden treasures.
With a light that illuminates the entire room, objects hidden by spells are revealed. There was no silver or gold, and there was no treasure. There was only a stack of deeds with names written on them.
Calenda read the names of Wilfredo and Campano, and two pieces of parchment floated on their own in the pile.
With lightning speed, Link grabbed the contract in his hand, glanced at it, and confirmed the name before handing it to the two who couldn't wait.
I repeatedly confirmed that this was the contract I wrote back then. Wilfredo and Campano couldn't hide their excitement.
"Stop the ink, destroy it quickly. The excessive blood loss made Wengers a little tired, and he was desperate to get out of here and find a safe place to heal.
Wilfredo and Campano slit their fingers and smeared blood on their signatures, and the scroll burst into magical flames, burning the entire parchment in an instant, leaving nothing of ash behind.
At that moment, unguarded Calenda suddenly rolled on the spot and burrowed into the pit full of contracts. With a dull rumble, the tiles slammed shut, leaving him with a raging roar.
"Kill them!"
The guards, who had stopped outside the house in a regular manner, rushed in and blocked the only way out.
"Get out of the way! You're no match for us. Wilfredo frowned, trying to persuade the guards to let him go. With Link here, he wasn't worried about losing to this group of guards, he just didn't want to kill senselessly.
"Don't make useless persuasions, there is no point in reasoning with the dead. Link nodded at Doyle, who immediately understood, his great sword bursting into flames.
Lenovo Link had said that the guards around the merchant Helini were all living dead, and Wilfredo was shocked and angry. Calenda turned his back on his mission to be a lackey for the orcs, and even hooked up with the undead?
Wengers couldn't stop it, so he could only ask Link for help, "Get out of here, Calenda has done something to the wall, and once she senses the attack spell, it will collapse." ”
The child of nature is strong, and a small collapse cannot stop him, but others may not have the luck to survive.
Knowing the mage's concerns, Link cast a spell himself, drawing everyone closer to him, and grabbed Doyle's collar the moment the sword was swung.
The teleportation spell was activated the moment the hot flames consumed the living dead, and the destination was the three-story building that Wilfredo had spent a lot of money on in the downtown area.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Wengers immediately ran to the cabinet where the potions were kept, opened a brightly colored bottle, and poured it into his mouth. It wasn't until the magic refilled his body that he breathed a sigh of relief and poured out the doubts that had accumulated in his chest.
"Calenda and the undead colluding?"
"The mere fact that he has the living dead around him is enough to condemn him. It was Doyle who replied, and she was familiar with Dawn's dogma.
These words came out of the mouth of the former Dawn Knight, and they carried no less weight than Link.
"Do you want to capture Calenda alive?" said Wilfredo, who had regained his free body, with a little more joy on his face, sweeping away his previous gloom.
Link didn't answer, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the position behind him.
Calenda panted out of her escape tunnel, the exit in an inconspicuous corner on the outskirts of the town. At this moment, he can no longer care about the dirty environment and the unusually bad smelling air, the blood will attract monsters, and he must quickly deal with the wounds on his hands.
Before he could get out of the dead end, he was blocked by a tall black shadow.
Seeing the person's outfit, Calenda's jaw trembled uncontrollably, and her teeth chattered.
"Heresy!"
The words of the young knight in golden armor were like the cold wind of a winter night, and Calenda turned and ran towards the tunnel that had just been drilled. This time, his good fortune didn't save him from his fate. Blinding golden light fell from the sky, turning into flames of light that engulfed the entire neighborhood. The monsters on the buildings and the ground were like blood vessels agitating in an instant, and countless small monsters hiding in the shadows were reduced to ashes in the roar.
After a moment of silence, Link vetoed Wilfredo's suggestion.
"I've been swaggering enough in the past two days, so I'd better leave the matter of arresting people to the experts. ”
Wilfredo and Wengers looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the sentence.
Asa was the first to react, "Yes...... Deputy Commander?"
Link nodded, "It's coming so fast, I thought he'd be in Nax for a few more days." ”
As if to verify the shadow thief's guess, the entire building shook violently with a violent impact.
Wengers didn't stand on his feet, and he slumped on the soft carpet.
As soon as Campano ran out of the house, he saw a golden light rising in the center of the town, illuminating the town that had been shrouded in gloom for many years.
Doyle stared at the purifying light that enveloped the entire town, and a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
This is the strongest magic that the Knight of Dawn can perform, the Holy Light Judgment, which can only be performed by the devout disciples approved by Dawn, and it has been the goal she has worked hard for. When she left the new capital, Doyle never imagined that she would not only give up her faith, but also be reduced to a situation of opposition to Dawn.
Wilfredo caught this fleeting loneliness and turned his gaze to Link, feeling suspicious again.
Even if Dawn wanted to seal the Divine Descent who mixed the blood of the God of War, she shouldn't follow the Child of Nature, did Dawn use her to make a deal with the Pillar God?
"It's ...... Dawn's magic?"
Such a powerful divine technique, the power is comparable to the forbidden spell of a mage, and the one who can cast it is definitely the high-level priest in the Dawn Sect, plus the shadow thief mentioned the term 'deputy leader', it is not difficult to guess that it refers to the next Knight Captain of Dawn, and the name of Neam is like thunder even in such a remote place as the arena.
Wengers had a bad feeling that Neam was not only acquainted with the Child of Nature, but most likely also as a fellow traveler.
Oh no, the mage and the Dawn Cult are natural rivals. In particular, Neam was a knight with a reputation for being stern and rigid, and it is not hard to imagine how painful it would be to have him with him.
"It's coming!" Campano retreated into the room, followed by Nerham, dressed in official Knight of the Dawn outfit.
The dissatisfied gaze swept over the people in the room, and finally rested on Doyle, and the demonic energy had increased a lot compared to the time they parted a few days ago. How did Link take care of her?
Doyle couldn't resist the scrutinizing gaze and moved behind Link, a move that exacerbated Neum's displeasure.
"You are violating the agreement. ”
Link smiled and met Neuham's angry accusation, "I only promised to let you go with me, but I didn't say I wouldn't dump you." (To be continued......)
