The Mentor and Thunder hurried to the grove, where the sheriff of Baulston, Sir Murac, had been waiting for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mulak is a native of Baulston's heroes, his grandfather was a famous hero and the strongest man in the arena who successfully passed the ten levels, and the statue is still on display in the Hall of Glory of the Heroes' Guild and the Hall of Honor in the Arena for future generations to remember. Murak's father was also a powerful hero, but he has not been heard from for nearly a decade, and some say that he went to practice in a faraway wilderness. But now the portals have become one-way, you can only enter, not out, how did he get to the wild land?

The grove was dotted with seven triangular boulders, and in the center of the pile was a large pool of dried blood.

Murak said to his mentor, "In the Guild of Heroes, you should know very well who uses the sacrificial ritual. The orchard owner's newborn son disappeared last night, and I suspect he has been murdered. ”

The mentor nodded, and said, "Witches rarely go out of the guild and only come out to worship the moon god when the moon is full, but they have never had the custom of sacrificing living people. ”

"Judging by the surrounding traces, there should have been four people here last night. Excuse me, mentor, how many witches are there in the guild right now?"

"Four. However, Merlind has already gone out to cultivate, and he has not come back yet. ”

"That's right, these four witches must be the ones who sacrificed. Last night was a full moon night, and McLind must have hurried back. Mentor, I have to bring these people back to town to investigate. Seeing that the mentor was still hesitating, Murak said, "Mentor, the Hero Guild is also responsible for maintaining the law and order in the town, this is an agreement reached between the town of Ballston and the Hero Guild decades ago. ”

The mentor nodded and said, "Murak, like them, you are all members of the Hero Guild, you can take them back to investigate, but you are not allowed to torture them." I know the methods of those under you. ”

Mulak clenched his fist in front of his left chest and assured: "Mentor, I will cherish the honor of the hero." ”

The group returned to the guild and searched the entire guild, but there was no trace of the witch.

Could it be that they learned the news and absconded in fear of crime? Murak immediately ordered the guards to put the whole town under martial law, and the north and south gates were strictly forbidden for anyone to enter or leave, and they were sure to find these witches.

At this time, three witches wearing robes and cloaks were standing outside the north gate, looking for the guards to retrieve their equipment.

The guards were afraid of these strange witches, and no one dared to make things difficult.

The three of them were walking on the stone bridge, but suddenly a shout came from behind them: "You witches, please hand over your weapons and follow us back to the town to investigate a missing case!"

The three witches turned around, and saw a dozen or so guards running out of the city gate, and immediately surrounded them on the stone bridge.

"We're not going to hand over our weapons! We're going out of the city, not into the city. One of the witches said.

"An Jie'er, don't pay attention to them! What kind of disappearance case, we don't know, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

One of the guards said, "Did you perform sorcery in the grove last night?"

"Yes, it's no secret. Every month on the night of the full moon, we go to the grove to worship the moon god, and your sheriff knows about it. ”

"You are suspected of killing the son of the orchard owner and going to sacrifice to the devil, and you must go back with us to be investigated!"

"The moon god doesn't need any living sacrifices at all, you are defiling our holy and great moon god! And we are not kidnapping and murdering anyone, you are framing us!" Anjie'er was furious.

"If you didn't do anything bad, why did you run away, why didn't you dare to go back and be investigated?"

"We know what we've done, and as for what you're talking about, it's none of our business, and we don't need to be investigated by you. ”

"We won't go back with you!" who doesn't know your notorious methods, and anyone who falls into your hands will be beaten by you!" said the other witch.

"Tiva, Vidis, let's go ours, ignore them!"

"If you insist on leaving, then we will have to use force!"

"You can try, but you can't stop us!" Angel's feet gradually lifted off the ground, and black smoke filled her body.

"Attack! They can't be allowed to use witch ...... Before the guard could finish speaking, he was choked by an invisible hand, and his body was lifted off the ground!

The width of the stone bridge is only a few meters, and three witches side by side control the entire frontage. Although there were more than a dozen guards, there were not many who could confront the witches head-on, and where could they have defeated the witches who combined combat, magic, and witchcraft skills? Overboard guards struggle in the raging Baulston River, drifting to the mouth of the sea with the rushing current.

Dozens of guards rushed out of the north gate, led by Sheriff Murak himself. Seeing that the situation was not good, An Jie'er shouted: "Hurry up!"

The crossbow arrows rained down, and Angel couldn't dodge it, and hit several arrows in succession. Tiva shouted, "Vidis, you take Angel away, I'll resist the pursuers!"

As she chanted a spell, her entire body turned into a cloud of black mist, and her palms stretched forward, and a swarm of poisonous flies swooped down on her pursuers. The guards were covered with dense poisonous flies on their faces and bodies, bitten beyond recognition, and shouted.

Murak kept using the fireball technique, and the burnt poisonous flies fell in front of him, drowning his feet. But the poisonous flies gathered more and more, and it was pitch black on the stone bridge, and it was impossible to cross the stone bridge. Mulak had no choice but to retreat to the town for the time being, keeping the flies out of the city.

Poisonous flies fluttered around the stone bridges and city gates, raging wildly.

Tiva catches up with Waitis and sees her healing Angel on the lookout. Tiva looked at Angel's pale face and whispered, "How is her injury?"

"Luckily, an arrow almost hit her in the heart, and I've already healed her, but she's lost a lot of blood, and it will be a little while before she wakes up. Oh my God, Tiva, you're hurting too!"

Only then did Tiva see that she also had a few crossbow arrows stuck in her body. She pulled it out in pain, chanted a spell to stop the blood, and began to apply the medicine.

Viddes asked, "How did you get them back?"

"There were so many of them that I had to summon poison flies. ”

"Oh my God, this is too bad, we only know about summoning, we can't take them back!"

"Who told them to wronged us, besides, we can't be caught with our hands tied, just give them a lesson!"

"Let's go! Lady Grey will definitely go to the guild to gather heroes to hunt us down!"

The town of Baulston and the Guild of Heroes sounded the alarm at the same time. This has not been done in decades. Giant Thunder came to the center of town with more than a dozen heroes, and Lady Grey greeted him and said, "Why are there only so many people?"

Ju Lei said: "These people are all carefully selected by me from the guild, and they are enough. In addition, in your name, I posted a heroic quest to hunt witches on the guild's bulletin board. ”

Madame Grey nodded, and said, "My guard is ready, you and Murak can lead the team! Anyone who dares to challenge the laws of Baulston Town must be severely punished." How's the old guy's attitude?"

"What else can he do? He's already ordered the other heroes and students of the Heroes Guild to start exterminating the poison flies from the west side of town. ”

"Then you go, I'm waiting for your good news in town!"

On the towering tower, the guards blew the horn of the expedition.

On the dock, dozens of human and dwarven heroes gathered on the beach, looking at Gu Shiyu and Catherine, waiting for their decision after research.

Catherine listened to Gu Shiyu's opinion, nodded and said, "You go and tell everyone!"

Gu Shiyu looked at everyone and said, "I heard that Ju Lei went out to chase the witches with a dozen heroes, this is a very powerful force. I mean the same thing as Her Royal Highness the Princess, there are only three of them, so we won't join in the fun. Now inside and outside the town, poisonous flies are infested, and the first thing to do now is to exterminate poisonous flies and ensure the safety of the town. Yoland, you take your brothers and do it!"

Yolande waved his arms and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"

The people followed Yolande and stormed into the town.

Gu Shiyu couldn't help but say: "Mayor Grey's decision is wrong! Her first thing to do should be to hunt and kill poisonous flies, how can she abandon the safety of the townspeople and order the guards to hunt witches first?"

Catherine said, "She cares about her own authority, not with the people." ”

Gu Shiyu sighed and said, "It's easy to hunt a few witches, what I'm worried about is that in this way, it may push the witch clan to the camp of the Demon Alliance." The Mentor had advised me to find a way to unite the witches, but now how could he agree to send heroes to hunt them down?"

"A mentor may have his own struggles. A lot of things in the guild are giant detonators, and he is also responsible for the release of tasks. He was Mrs. Grey's husband, so naturally he listened to her in everything. Eldred explained.

"There's one thing I haven't told you yet. While I was hunting dragons, I met another witch who told me that she was investigating a big conspiracy and wanted me to side with them and support her. Now that it's happening again, I think there must be a lot of connection between the two things. ”

"The witch you're talking about should be Merlind, their leader. No matter what they're investigating, we can't be on their side until the scramble is revealed. We can't be enemies of Baulston Town and the Heroes' Guild at the same time, so let's choose neutrality. Catherine said.

"Where do you think the witches might go after they escape?" asked Gu Shiyu.

"I think they're going to the West. The male heroes of the Witch Clan, called the Beast Tamers, are now in the Thieves' Guild. If that's the case, the Thieves' Guild might declare war on the Heroes' Guild. ”

Gu Shiyu said: "No, I have to go to the guild to talk to the mentor." ”

Catherine said, "I'll go with you, Eldred, and you will take care of Her Royal Highness for me." ”

Eldred finally hugged the little black dragon from Catherine's hand, and he couldn't be happier.

The mentor is worrying in the guild office. Seeing Gu Shiyu and Catherine coming, he frowned and said happily: "You have come at the right time! I know what you want to say, what you are worried about, that is, what I am worried about, and I am trying to avoid it." ”

Gu Shiyu said: "Mentor, can you cancel the task of hunting witches from the guild taskbar?"

"I can't do that! Everyone in Baulston has the right to post hero quests in the guild, I don't have the right to cancel them, and the heroes in the guild also have the right to choose what to do or not to do. Now I only hope that Mellind and Angel will be able to escape the pursuit and reach the Thieves' Guild. ”

"Will the Thieves' Guild protect them?"

"Decades ago, the Heroes' Guild and the Thieves' Guild had an agreement that neither side was allowed to hunt members of the other's guild, otherwise it would be considered an act of war. If they leave the Heroes Guild and join the Thieves' Guild, we should abide by the agreement and no longer hunt. ”

"Mentor, when I was outside practicing, I heard some people talk about the Bear Guild, what kind of guild is it?"

"That's what those who are dissatisfied with the Hero Guild will say. ”

Gu Shiyu's face flushed, feeling embarrassed.

Catherine said, "Mentor, why can't we go to war with the Thieves' Guild? If the portal to the Lost Lands opens again, everyone will belong to different factions after they go back, and a war will definitely break out between each other, why not settle this matter once and for all?"

The mentor shook his head and said, "Catherine, the boundaries of the factions are not based on the criteria of the Hero Guild or the Thieves Guild. People from the Heroes Guild may join the Demon Camp, and Thieves Guild members may also join the Human Camp. The people of the demon camp have long been lurking in the Heroes Guild, and there are also our people lurking in the Thieves' Guild. Zoro and I know this very well. If either side chooses to go to war, no one will be sure of victory, and the losses will be huge, and no one can bear the consequences of this, so they can only choose to maintain the status quo for the time being!"

Gu Shiyu said: "Mentor, you just said that we came just in time, don't you have something to tell us to do?"

The mentor said: "Yes, the situation in the guild is very complicated now, I need someone to secretly help the witches escape, and I can't reveal their identities yet, and I want someone to go to the wilderness to find my eldest disciple Giant Scythe for me, and ask him to return to the guild immediately to guard against the possible conspiracy of the thieves' guild." ”

Gu Shiyu asked, "Mentor, which thing is more dangerous?"

The mentor said, "Both of these things are dangerous. As its name suggests, the journey is full of dangers. ”

Catherine said, "Mentor, let me go to the wilderness! Guzi, you have a relationship with Merlind, and it is more appropriate for you to protect her secretly than me." Besides, like most humans, I don't like witches. ”

The mentor said, "That's good. To the south lies a secluded valley inhabited by a large herd of unicorns, and if you can defeat one of them, you can make it your mount. With the unicorn beast, you can go to Hook Bay again, so that you can save ten or so days. There is a demon statue on the docks of Hook Bay, I will give you a Nether coin, you put it in the hands of the demon, and a Nether ship will emerge from the bottom of the sea, and it will carry you to the Savage Lands. The situation is urgent now, and if I can, I would like to ask you both to prepare a little before you go. ”

The two had never seen the tutor so nervous, and they knew that the stakes were high, so they hurriedly said goodbye to the mentor.
