Chapter 31: I've come to save you, Mr. Lauder!
Led by the boatmen, Lynn left the hustle and bustle of the docks, crossed several streets, and stopped in front of a dilapidated house long abandoned in the north of the city.
"Please come in, Lord Rabul, Mr. Lauder is waiting for you inside." The boatman gestured with his hand.
Lynn nodded, pushed the door and walked in, only to realize that the dilapidated scene outside was just a disguise, and there was a hole in the house.
The walls are all made of heavy stones, and the smooth mirror-like walls are hung with precious paintings and sculptures, and the air is filled with the smell of delicate perfume.
In stark contrast to this elegant setting, strong men with large axes standing on either side of the room, staring at Lynn as they entered the door, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Laude the Cripple stood at the long table, looking to be in his fifties, full of gray hair, thin and gaunt, and most notably his wooden prosthetic leg.
The moment he saw Lynn, the anger in Lauder's heart suddenly jumped, and he reprimanded him very angrily.
"Rabul, are you crazy? I should have told you that you must not get me in any trouble lately......"
"But you actually fought Bob in the harbor today for a shipload of cargo, do you know that the Holy See is likely to have noticed us now, and two groups of sea ships have been seized in the past three days......"
Lauder scolded bitterly, but soon found that there was something wrong with Rabul in front of him, and he did not have the slightest look of fear or horror under his own accusations, but was still approaching him step by step.
"Wait...... You're not Rabul! Lauder's mind was full of thoughts, and he immediately realized this, and with a frightened expression, he took a few steps back, looked at the guards around him, and commanded in a loud voice.
"Stop him for me!"
The people who could enter this room were all the henchmen selected by Lauder, so after hearing the order, the strong men guarding the surroundings did not hesitate at all, so they raised the big axe in their hands and cut it with their heads and faces.
[Start overload mode, the time is three seconds!] 】
Just before the axe blade was ready, Lynn silently read in his mind.
In an instant, all the positions and movements in the room were presented in my mind as data.
Lynn casually dodged a strong man's surprise attack, snatched the axe from his opponent's hand, kicked it away, and then turned and swung the handle of the axe, slamming the back of the axe into the stomach of an unlucky man, and then lunged forward with the axe, quickly knocking the remaining guards to the ground.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lauder had already turned over and crossed the long table blocking the way, and the wooden prosthetic leg on the right was simply sharper than the real leg, bringing the sound of whirring wind, and he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in three or two steps.
Cripple Lauder...... It's running fast!
Such a spectacle made Lynn stunned for a moment, but fortunately, he immediately reacted, raised his hand, and several crystal ice blades appeared in the air.
At the same time, Lauder also felt a sense of intimidation coming from behind him, but he ignored it, because the secret passage was in front of him, and he only needed to reach out to touch it.
However, the speed of the ice blade was even faster, and the latter hit his right leg prosthetic leg directly, and the unbalanced Lauder fell to the ground in embarrassment, and then another [Ice Blade] flew over and nailed to his robe.
"Keep running!" Lynn approached step by step, and said coldly, in order to see Lauder, he has worked hard in the past few days, and naturally it is impossible to let the other party escape.
However, Lynn soon realized that his words were somewhat like the villain's speech, and then changed his voice and explained.
"Actually, I'm here to save you, Mr. Lauder!"
Laude felt the cold air coming from all over him, looked at the 'kind-looking' Lynn again, and swallowed with difficulty.
Well, he'll take it!
……
After a friendly exchange between the two sides, and the previous minor misunderstanding was resolved, Lauder called a few of his men to tidy up the messy cabin, and then invited Lynn to sit down.
"This wizard, did you come to me on purpose, do you have any orders?" Lauder asked cautiously.
"Of course I'm here to save you!" Lynn said without hesitation. "As far as I know, the Holy See has sent three thousand guards to secretly enter Harbor Town, and they should be coming for the [Boat Gang]!"
"This may not be ......" Lauder shook his head, of course he had received the news, but he did not agree with Lynn's judgment.
"Just three days ago, the Archbishop of Nordland, Amsik, led a raid on the town of your, only to encounter a powerful wizard who was able to repel him after paying a heavy price, and these three thousand guards should be used to guard against that wizard."
Speaking of this, Lauder suddenly looked at Lynn, and a guess faintly popped up in his heart.
"Yes, I was the one who fought the archbishop before!" Lynn nodded, and didn't mean to hide it.
Seeing that Lynn confessed, Lauder couldn't help but secretly sigh, judging from the information he had received before, although Bishop Amsik finally succeeded in repelling the wizard, he himself was also incurably damaged.
It is rumored that the place where the two sides fought was burned to the ground, and the terrifying fire has not been extinguished to this day......
It can be seen that this magic is powerful and weird......
Could it be that there is a great wizard sitting in front of him?
No, unlikely.
Lauder quickly dismissed this conjecture, he had seen the power of the Great Wizard, and he could even freeze the maelstrom known as the Scourge [Eye of Death] for a short period of time, if he had such power, then it should have been Bishop Ansik who fled in the first place.
In view of this, Lauder immediately decided that the other party should be a powerful three-ring wizard!
Lynn didn't know what Lauder was thinking, and continued to explain. "It would be foolish to think that such fanfare from the Holy See is only aimed at me alone. Amsulk's real goal was to find a passage to the Wizarding Lands, otherwise the Archbishop wouldn't have had to make the trip to Seaport Town. ”
"Also, I got the news that Ann Sulf had captured several wizard apprentices on his way to Harbor Town."
"They are all disciples of Koru, and they all know that this route is related to the [Boat Gang], and now the Holy See hasn't done it yet, most of them just haven't been able to ask for enough information from their mouths."
"I don't have much time left for you!" Lynn said solemnly.
