Chapter 42: The Cat and the Mouse and the Master

"This gift is very good, I took it, thank you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Staring into Karina's expectant eyes, William smiled faintly, "You wait for me, I have something for you too." ”

William said, turned around and walked directly into his tent, and after a while, brought out the wolf king's cub from inside: "I don't like pets, this wolf king cub, give it to you." ”

Hearing the dazzling, Karina's somewhat wild face flashed a trace of shyness, which was unique.

She hugged the little fellow who moved her hands to and fro, and did not open her eyes, stuffed the robe sewn from the skin of the wolf king to William, thanked him in a low voice, and hurried back to the tent, and did not even seem to eat dinner.

"Look, blush, blush!"

Jack looked at Karenna's fleeing back and shouted loudly.

Everyone laughed.

Only a worried look flashed across the eagle's face.

Sending gifts to each other certainly seems to be a manifestation of affection, but on the other hand, William's gesture is not a polite act.

.........

Early the next morning, the wind and snow stopped.

In the humble camp, everyone also put away tents and other things, put some bulky things into the magician's magic ring, and then everyone traveled lightly again.

By this time, William had already put on the robe given by Karina.

The surface of the robe is full of dense silver-white wolf hair, which is extremely smooth and soft.

When William felt cold, as long as he put the cloak on his body, it would not be long before his body temperature would return to normal, and he would no longer have to spend his mind gathering the fire element, which was quite cold.

The workmanship of the robe was also extremely picky, and the wolf's head position was made into a hood, so that William could remove the hat strap at any time. And the cuffs of the cloak are also additionally sewn with two small wolf skins of the Frost Demon Wolf.

If the summer heat comes, you can also tear off the wolf skin and turn the robe into a vest.

It can be seen that Karena is very attentive.

In the middle of the line, Jack walked up to William, poked his hand, and said, "Hey, Brother William, how about you lend me my coat to wear?" ”

"You don't have to feel it, you just have to put on a few more clothes. ”

William rejected Jack outright. He strode to the front of the group and came to the eagle's side.

Eagle put down the map in his hand and glanced at William, with some doubt in his eyes.

"I would like to ask how far away the abandoned church is. William asked.

The abandoned church is an ordinary church of the Church of Light in the province of North Gus. For various reasons, this church has long been abandoned and has been abandoned in the snow-capped mountains.

Of course, this is only scratching the surface.

In fact, the Church of Light has not abandoned this church, but has instead used it as a secret stronghold.

According to Eagle, his old father, along with several mysterious necromancers, was secretly imprisoned in this secret stronghold.

Eagle listened to William's question, pondered for a while, looked at the map in his hand again, raised his head and said, "It shouldn't be far away"

After a pause, Eagle continued, "We'll be in an abandoned village by tonight. The abandoned church was built on a snow-capped hill near the village and is easy to find. ”

William nodded slowly: "Actually, I still have a question in my mind, or a doubt. ”

Eagle asked with interest, "What's the problem?"

William asked directly, "Why do the Magic Guild and the Church of Light always hate necromancers?"

When the eagle heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said, "The high-sounding saying is that they represent justice and the necromancer represents evil. There is no room for evil. ”

"As for my personal opinion...... The relationship between us is like that of a cat and a mouse. ”

Cats and mice?

William was stunned.

Eagle continued, "We necromancers are the stinky rats that everyone in the sewers beats. As for the Magical Guild and the Church of Light, they are cats that catch mice. ”

"Because of mice, cats have a role. If the rats die all at once, I believe that the owner of the cat, which is now His Majesty Charles IX, will not continue to tolerate the existence of cats. ”

"This cat called the Magic Guild is better. Because of the existence of magicians, the Magic Guild is an indispensable institution after all, and His Majesty Charles IX, no matter how jealous he is, will not easily take the Magic Guild under the knife. ”

"This cat called the Church of Light is different. ”

Speaking of this, an intriguing smile appeared on the eagle's face, and he did not elaborate on it anymore.

William nodded slowly, understood a little in his heart, and didn't ask any more.

A team of more than 20 people, walking on the snow, passed one tall snow-capped mountain after another, and finally arrived at the entrance of a village near evening.

This small village is a veritable ghost village. There are no inhabitants in it, there are broken rock walls everywhere, most of the houses have collapsed badly, and only a few stone houses made of rough stones are still intact.

At this time, William unleashed his magic flight spell and flew to a rooftop.

Standing on the roof, with a beam under his feet, William looked up, and soon he saw the vague outline of an ancient church on a nearby snowy mountain.

William's pupils suddenly shrank.

There, it's an abandoned church, and Sumera might be in it!

"I can understand your urgency, Mr. William, but please come down first. Standing on a high place, it is easy to be spotted by the sentry of an abandoned church. ”

At this time, Sam, the bearded man, reminded.

When William heard this, he did not hesitate and jumped directly from the roof.

"Tonight, we're going to stay here, and let's not make a fire. Avoid detection. When it was completely dark, under the cover of night, we redeployed the detailed rescue plan. ”

The eagle gathered everyone together and said something in a deep voice, saying some precautions.

William listened attentively, taking to heart every word the eagle said.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and night fell.

The whole village was silent, and William and the others gathered in a stone house.

This stone house is quite large, and it should have been the home of the former head of the village. But at this moment, it has become a place for everyone to discuss.

A white candle burning with wax oil is lit on a circular stone platform, and the faint light of the fire illuminates the surroundings.

The crowd gathered around the stone table.

The eagle took out a roll of ancient parchment with slightly yellowed corners and spread it out on the stone platform for everyone to see. He pointed to the parchment diagram and said, "This is the structural diagram of the abandoned church, everyone take a look at it, pay attention." ”

The eagle moved his finger and pointed to a certain location on the ancient parchment and said, "This is the magic communication room of the abandoned church, and there are two middle-level knights working together to guard it. ”

After a pause, Eagle continued: "We must take this place quietly first, so as not to alarm the guards of the abandoned church, and continue to lurk in the dungeon to carry out rescue work. ”

"I've said this before, so I won't say more. The conundrum before us now is the guards in the dungeon. ”

"The most important thing in the dungeon is that there are two high-ranking knights guarding it. ”

At this, a trace of worry flashed across Eagle's face, and he confided, "According to the original plan, I will drag one of them, Sam and Thors will drag the other high-ranking knight, and then the others will go deep into the dungeon to rescue." ”

"However, Sam and Thors are both mid-level fighters, and I'm afraid that even if the two of them work together, they won't be able to hold off the senior knight and give him a chance to report the news. ”

"Once the garrison of an abandoned church is alarmed, it is very difficult for us to do so. Eagle sighed.

He was the only one in his team who was a high-level necromancer. Secondly, only Sam, a bearded man, and a middle-aged man named Thor are mid-level fighters.

As for the rest, like Jack and Karena, they are either junior fighters or junior necromancers.

"Why don't we add two more to help Uncle Sam and Uncle Thors, and hold off the senior knight?" said Jack.

After hearing this, the eagle immediately shook his head and said, "Once you increase the excess strength, let's not talk about whether it is useful or not, the other party is likely to become a frightened bird." ”

"If the other side doesn't fight Sam and Thors, and instead chooses to get out first and notify all the garrisons in the abandoned church, then our rescue plan will fail. ”

"How many garrisons must be there in the abandoned church?" someone asked.

Eagle said worriedly: "There are two high-level knights in total, three middle-level knights, and ten junior knights. And we only have one high-level necromancer, two intermediate fighters Sam and Thors, plus seventeen junior necromancers and fighters. ”

In fact, it is true, and it is no wonder that the eagle is very worried.

In terms of mid-to-high-end combat power, it is obvious that the abandoned church side has an absolute advantage, otherwise, there is no need to sneak around.

"Leave it to me, this high-ranking knight. ”

Just when everyone was in deep thought, William, who was silently watching in the corner, suddenly stepped forward and said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at William.
