Chapter 137: A Goose and a Letter
The incantation was chanted very quickly, and Elliot held the scroll down the back of his hand with a dense array of tiny particles under the skin, producing irregular shaking.
Obviously, as a bloodline ranger who is not so good at spellcasting, he still has to pay a lot of price if he wants to urge this scroll.
With the completion of the chanting, with Eliot as the center of the circle, an invisible sphere enchantment with a radius of about two hundred meters was formed.
The dense footsteps that had just come from my ears also disappeared.
A smile finally appeared in the corners of Elliot's somewhat tired eyes.
Sleepless Enchantment.
That's his hole card.
Otherwise, with his strength, he wouldn't dare to provoke Evelyn, who has many guards.
Even after experiencing the [Wildfire City Catastrophe], his conspirator level has increased, and with the assistance of the Bloodline Ranger class, his level can only reach the third order, and in the face of Evelyn, who is extremely powerful, he has no other chance than to easily create a first-mover advantage.
Especially under this kind of tight defense, even if he knocks people out, it will be difficult to fly.
But with this scroll of the Sleepless Enchantment that can be used over and over again, things are different.
Strictly speaking, the Sleepless Enchantment Scroll is a magic scroll that belongs to the great Sleepless Shawric; The scroll itself belongs to the category of secondary artifacts, and is a family heirloom of Elliot.
The Sleepless Scroll can create a temporary Sleepless Barrier, and those who are in the Sleepless Barrier are assigned to improvised real-world copies and never see each other.
It's like a huge labyrinth, unless you can jump out of the scope of this maze and look down from a higher angle, it will be difficult for people in the bureau to find a way to solve it in a short time.
The only flaw is that when the Sleepless Enchantment is cast, the caster must be in the enchantment himself.
This meant that he had to put himself at risk.
At any time, some of the guards could break into the dungeon world he was assigned to - once he missed, and lost the power of his family's bloodline, the barrier would naturally close.
Of course, with Eliot's prudence, how could he not have considered other circumstances?
In fact, in order to prevent the last step from going wrong, he had been completely prepared for a long time.
In the first part, as to whether the effect of the Sleepless Enchantment can really hide from the masters in the princess's mansion, he has already tried-
—When he helped Miss Happie return to the castle that day, he carefully maintained the Sleepless Enchantment for a while.
As it turned out, almost no one in the castle noticed the problem, and they were indeed not harmed, but they were just assigned to different worlds, and even if they reacted afterwards, they would only feel a little trance, or if their memory was wrong.
The second part is the focus of Elliot's action tonight.
"These stupid guards are anxiously searching for the [Assassins]'s whereabouts right now, right?"
He put away the scroll and stood up with Evelyn on his shoulder, smirking smugly: "They didn't expect that I was not ready to leave here with this woman all along!" ”
With a creak, he pushed away the shadows ahead, revealing a bright light.
It was two neat rows of magic lamps.
Under the light of the magic lamp, the potion in the flower garden seemed to grow extra moisturized, and the large swaths of blood red irritated Elliot's eyes.
"Potions here are not invaluable, but it's a pity that I'm not good at herbs and potions."
Elliot just glanced at it, and then carried Evelyn to the left-hand side.
There, he discovers a small secret door that leads underground.
According to Happy's statement, this is supposed to be a magical prison designed by Evelyn, a mage, and this prison is very secretive and only a few people know about it. Evelyn doesn't use it much herself.
Harpy took the opportunity to help Evelyn manage the Potions Garden and successfully obtained the key to the magical prison, which happened to meet Elliot's plan - he was going to take Evelyn, hide in a relatively safe corner of the princess's mansion, and leave directly after completing all the interrogations.
He wasn't prepared to hurt Evelyn, because although the Ninth Manor was powerful, they were always a shady wanderer, and if they did it to the end of their lives and confronted the state apparatus head-on, it would not end well.
He just wanted to hear from Evelyn about the "Little Town Song".
According to various information, there seems to be a lot of concern within the Ninth Manor about this person's identity, and the reward may not be as simple as the mission description suggests.
Lighting the candle, Elliot cautiously surveyed the surroundings, and after making sure that no one was there, he skillfully took out a pair of forbidden handcuffs, completely blocking Evelyn's chance to resist.
"Those people would not have imagined that I was hiding in their lord's garden, conducting my interrogation."
He sneered, and was about to make a move to wake Evelyn, when someone suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
"What?"
Elliot's heart tightened, and he instinctively wanted to escape into the shadow realm, and the thing staggered over.
It was a big white goose.
Elliot smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Doesn't it look like a magical creature, running out of the kitchen?" He thought so.
However, the goose staggered over.
glanced at him.
Then he was punched.
……
A hundred miles south of the Lookout Fortress in the mountains.
After the heavy snow closed the mountain, a large area of snow white locked up most of the vast mountainous area, but here a shallow path appeared.
The two figures walked along the path with some difficulty, and walked forward.
One of them had a noticeable bulge behind his cloak, as if hiding something.
"Damn, if I knew it was so cold, I shouldn't have taken that little bit of employment fee!"
A somewhat rugged mercenary-looking man cursed.
The middle-aged man next to him was also shivering from the cold, but his mood was much more stable, and in the face of his companion's complaints, he just smiled awkwardly, and his voice was a little panting:
"It's been a long time since I've been back, and I almost forgot how I felt when I was younger......"
"The north and south of this mountain range are indeed two worlds, and Wildfire City is a cold place that can freeze people to death; But this is said to be a place where dragons can freeze to death......"
The mercenary was obviously not interested in the middle-aged man's jokes, and the thick clothes he wore were actually magic items that were constant with a low level of cryogenic protection spell, but the exposed skin was still guilty.
Although his professional level is not low, he is still inferior to the Barbarian or even the Ice Man when it comes to cold immunity.
Faced with the mercenary's silence, the middle-aged man had to cough:
"What do you say?"
He shook his shoulders and tried to call for help.
However, all that attracted was a continuous curse: "I said you uncle!" Fuck you Geralt! ”
"Trick Lao Tzu into this desolate ghost place to starve and freeze!"
"Woo woo, I'm the patron of the Ice and Snow Goddess, and I can't stand the perverted cold around here!"
A trembling head came out of Geralt's cloak, cursing and cursing as it endured the pain of the runny nose turning into ice crystals, and even tried to scratch Geralt's neck with its own claws, but the soft cat's paws just stretched out of the cloak, and retracted in compromise.
Geralt laughed dryly, and the mercenary next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered:
"Return the patron of the goddess of ice and snow...... Except for playing cards a little better, it's just a waste! ”
The black cat's eyes widened, and he wanted to refute angrily, but Geralt pushed him back.
"Mr. Gray, I swear, this is really the last stretch."
Geralt nodded to the mercenary with some embarrassment.
Gray moved forward a little speechlessly.
It's been some time since they've left Wildfire City.
Since Xu Nan established the Anonymous City, he also invited these three to settle down.
But Geralt thinks that as the pastor of the Ice Goddess Church, he naturally has to abide by his duty.
He wanted to rebuild the church in the ruins of Wildfire City, so he politely declined Xu Nan's invitation, and as for the black cat, he naturally followed Geralt.
Originally, Gray had nothing to do with these two.
But since Lina's foster care time came and Xu Nan took the little ancestor from him, this high-ranking mercenary seemed a little depressed.
He doesn't seem to have much interest in official power, and his only hobby is the Golden Dragon Order.
And after Xu Nan established Anonymous City, he also gave him a fairly generous remuneration, which can be regarded as finalizing the final chapter of the previous cooperation between the two parties.
Gray is a smart person, after the Wildfire City incident, he knew that Xu Nan was not very human, and the people around him, especially those big guys, were not something he could easily provoke; But he really wasn't a person who liked to be restrained, so after receiving the money, he assured Xu Nan that he would never reveal the relevant secrets to anyone, and then chose to stay in Wildfire City to fool around.
Xu Nan didn't care too much, he knew more or less about Gray's details, even if someone tried to use him as a breakthrough to understand Xu Nan, the information they got was very limited - as for whether the identity of Tumersu would be exposed, Xu Nan was not worried at all.
A lot of times, identity is just a façade, and when the general trend is over, not many people care about that.
Straight to the point.
When Gray was fooling around in the ruins of Wildfire City, he went in and out of the tavern all day long, and because he had money, he didn't need to make a living, so he just played cards every day.
As a result, when playing cards, I happened to meet a black cat with the same smell, and it turned out that this guy was also a gambler, but because of the black cat's body, he didn't dare to communicate with others.
Gray had a friendship with Black Cat and Geralt that night, and after everyone became acquainted, especially after seeing Black Cat's magical card playing skills, Gray and Black Cat became tacit partners.
Of course, it had nothing to do with their presence here, after all, even though the entire Wildfire City didn't want to play cards with Gray anymore, he wouldn't have to go to this wilderness to have fun.
It all started when the pastor Geralt received a letter.
