The mercenaries were messing around, Ivo tightened his hood and covered his cheeks, his eyes were full of doubt, Nafi's family decided that the kidnappers were themselves, but where did the information come from?

"What about the strength of the kidnappers?" a mercenary asked loudly, this is also what most people think, to rescue the eldest lady of the Linches family, at least you must know the strength of the kidnappers, the unknown makes people hesitate, if the kidnappers are too strong, no one wants to be sent to death.

"At least let us know his height, his size, whether he is alone or in a team. ”

There were many opinions, noisy noise, and heavy rain in the sky, and the rough mercenaries who spoke exhaled a breath of hot air, which turned into a white hot mist in the rain, and the rain wet his clothes and blurred his vision, in this case, no one noticed that Ivo in the crowd was the object of the bounty.

The captain of the Wet Forest Town Guard stood up and said loudly: "Don't make any noise, we have sufficient information." ”

Hearing this, dozens of mercenaries quieted down, and the captain of the guard took out a translucent white crystal, the size of a fist, a bit like a large piece of rock candy, and in the center of the crystal, there was a floating inky mist, "A mage who happened to pass by recorded the incident with water shadow magic, made it into a water shadow stone and sent it to the Linches family." ”

Water shadow is a water-based spell that records scenes, similar to video recording. The scenes recorded in the Water Shadow Technique are stored in an alchemical stone called the Water Shadow Stone. The Water Shadow Stone is like a disc from a previous life, which can show the recorded scenes many times, and is also known as the "Video Stone".

The shadow of the water in the captain's hand turned into a puddle of liquid, and the liquid floated in the air, turning into a two-person water mirror, and the thick ink in the mirror was entangled and spreading, gradually forming a black and white scene, which began to play.

The recorder is far away, only a rough view, and the water shadow does not preserve sound, as if watching a mime.

In the mirror, Ivo was present, and the carriage, as Ivo was fighting to kill the enemy, who was the mutinous guards, but in the eyes of others, they were the guards of the city of Gregor......

Ivo was shocked, the water shadow technique was taken out of context and there was no sound, but it became the strongest evidence to slander him as a kidnapper.

Sure enough, the scene in the mirror was processed, and the scene came to an abrupt end without Nafi's help, when the last of the guards was killed by Ivo.

Those mutinous guards turned out to be pawns for blame.

"This is the video of the kidnappers committing the murder. ”

A mercenary relieved his heart and laughed: "The strength is very average." ”

"Don't worry, if the kidnapper has only this ability, he will die. ”

"Hehe, don't grab it, the bounty is mine!"

Ivo ignored the mercenaries' teasing, bowed his head and hurried back to the room, telling Nafei what had happened, and the wizard looked anxious: "How can this be, we have to go back to the Linches family early and explain to my father." ”

Ivo calmed down and said calmly: "This matter is very strange, the person who recorded it with the water shadow technique cannot be a mage who 'happened to pass by', it must be the follow-up means of the person behind the scenes." The mutinous guards failed to attack, but obtained evidence that I was a kidnapper, and issued a bounty in the name of the Linches family for the mercenaries to hunt me down. Could it be that the enemy knows that if I die, you will die too? Could it be that Old Man Cohen revealed the ...... of the contract?"

Derpy appeared and puffed out, "It can't be Lord Cohen!"

Ivo thinks about it, too, if Cohen wants to deal with him, he can make a move in the Wizard's Tower.

Ivo has a bad impression of Cohen, although he Ivo did not express his thoughts about being placed under house arrest in the Wizarding Tower, but he was actually very angry in his heart, and he was imprisoned and free when his strength was low.

"If you don't know the contract, then why make me a kidnapper, what's the point?" Ivo felt a mess in his mind and moved anxiously, no one was supposed to deal with him.

Ivo's eyes suddenly lit up, "I became a kidnapper, that is, I was kidnapped, male and female, married...... They have at least one purpose, which is to ruin your reputation and break your marriage. ”

Nafei's body shook, and she thought along this line of thought, and an angry and embarrassed expression appeared, "So that's the case, the eldest lady of the Linches family has been kidnapped, and there is a possibility of being defiled, and it is impossible for the Gold family to have a ...... Marriage!" Speaking of this, Nafei trembled with anger, although she didn't care about marrying for the benefit of the family, but being slandered and honorable was unbearable for a woman.

The enemy's intentions are clear, which is to sabotage the marriage, and Ivo scolds secretly: "The scheming between the damned nobles is this kind of bloody story again." ”

In fact, almost every marriage between the great nobles will implicate a series of sabotage and calculations, and the danger that Nafei encounters is a means of game between the big nobles, which is not uncommon.

Nafi was a little flustered, thinking of a solution, Ivo's mind spun quickly, and said: "But old man Cohen brought me back to the wizard's tower, and no one knows about this, so in the eyes of those behind the scenes, I just happened to be the scapegoat to protect you." We have a life force sharing contract, as long as we can return to the Lynches family alive, plus the old man Cohen, the three of them explain, can overturn the abduction theory. ”

The goal of the people behind the scenes is to destroy the marriage, Ivo is puzzled, he believes that as a big aristocratic family, the Gold family cannot be the kind of family that follows the crowd and goes with the flow, as long as the kidnapping theory is overturned, after knowing the truth, the rumors become rumors, and the Gold family will still choose the marriage with interests first, so it is not safe to rely on this destruction of the marriage, and the most secure is only the dead.

Ivo reasoned: "The enemy's main goal is to kill us, and the water shadow stone is still a means for the people behind the scenes to kill people with a knife, and the mercenary is his 'knife', in order to kill us, shirk responsibility." ”

Nafi muttered, "Killing people with a knife?" ”

"The people behind the scenes sent killers to kill you and me, and then blame the mercenaries afterwards, and ruining your reputation is a bygone means, so that even if you don't kill us, it can affect the marriage. ”

The mutinous guards planted false goods, spread rumors and paved the way, confirmed the fact of kidnapping and ruined Nafi's reputation, and finally used a bounty to kill people without revealing themselves, so that as soon as it went down, the conspiracy of the enemies behind the scenes became clear.

Borrowing a knife to kill people, the soldiers are not bloody, the calculations of the people behind the scenes are really loud, Ivo is secretly angry, blame me, when I am a bully?

For now, it is best to return to the royal capital as soon as possible to explain, and use the power of the Nafei family to find out the enemy.

Putting on their hoods, the two hurried out of the inn in the face of the torrential rain, and exited the town from the town to the east and entered the banyan forest.

At the entrance of the east town of Wet Forest Town, a mercenary leaning against the wall raised his eyelids, with a vertical scar on his left eye, and his eyes followed the back of Ivo and the two of them leaving in a hurry, flashing a cold light.

Behind him, seven mercenaries in leather armor stood silently, wearing standard equipment, carrying short bows and quivers, with broad-edged swords tied to their left waists and hand axes tied to their right waists, their faces seemed to be carved out of a mold, expressionless, and a cold murderous aura flashed in their eyes, more like regular soldiers who were forbidden than mercenaries.

The Scar mercenary's tone was indifferent: "Chase, don't leave a living mouth." ”

......

Ivo and Nafi staggered through the muddy woodland, humus sticky from the rain, like puddles of mud that stained their boots.

"The rainstorm is wrong. Ivo sighed, and was about to walk out of the banyan forest, surrounded by much more sparse trees.

"Whoosh ......"

Ivo suddenly had a premonition of danger in his heart, and immediately turned around and grabbed Nafi's thin waist with one hand, dragging the witch behind him, holding the war spear with the other hand, his wrist trembled, shaking out a spear shadow, and with a few bells, several sneak arrows were shot down, and the force on the arrow made Ivo's wrist numb, and an arrow grazed his cheek, and blood stains slowly appeared.

Ivo pulled Nafi behind a banyan tree and turned his head to look at the place where the arrow was shot.

Eight mercenaries walked out, and seven leather-armored mercenaries were armed with short bows, who were the attackers just now.

The leading mercenary was wearing a heavy armor, the cold iron light was circulating on the armor, and the horizontal lines were all over the heavy armor, which looked very hard, and the heavy armored mercenary had a scar on his left eye, and he was wearing iron gloves and was holding a huge steel sword in his hand, looking coldly at this side.

There is a murderous aura.

Ivo's heart sank, this group of mercenaries didn't seem to have come to save people, and the scar man had an aura that made Ivo feel dangerous.

Ivo clenched the spear in his hand and whispered, "It looks like I'm going to fight to the death." ”

(Believe me, the conspiracy of the nobles is just a small branch line, leading to subsequent developments, it won't take up too much space, and I can't stand too much blood...... Ivo's development and adventure are the main themes. ）
