On the way back, Xia Duo reflected on the whole process of the soldiers killing the orcs, and at the same time pondered how many orcs he and Dean's team could handle at one time, and how much if you counted the scrolls?

Walk to the edge of the Green Bead Forest, and then you will be the southernmost part of the Savile Territory, where several villages are scattered between the town of Savile and the Green Bead Forest.

From the green pearl forest to the town, the closer you go, the denser the traces of human activity become, and in the past ninety years, the Savile Territory has been carved out from scratch.

When Chardo had just crossed Nesser, he appeared in the wilderness between the villages, west of the town of Savile, across the Wolfburg River and further west.

There is another direction in which the Savile Collar is pioneering.

Half of the population of the Savile Territory is in the town of Savile, and the other half is in the villages.

Once the orc tide comes, there is a mage tower in the town, which is enough to cover the entire town, but the people in the village are in danger.

Xia Duo sighed in his heart that it was not easy for ordinary people to survive under the Savile Command, and at the same time, he also wanted to know what the core area of the empire was like, and if he had the opportunity, he must go out for a walk.

While looking forward to the future, while discussing the skills of spell casting with Dean with great interest, although Xia Duo's knowledge of the essence of spells is better than Dean's, he has only a few months of experience in terms of specific "hands-on practice".

And Dean has been in the Mage Tower for more than two years, and he can always bring some new thinking and new cognition to Xia Duo in terms of spell casting practice, which even has a certain effect on Xia Duo's understanding of the nature of spells.

After all, practice is the foundation of theory and has a decisive role in theory.

Of course, Dean's spellcasting skills have not yet reached the level of decisiveness.

Passing by a village, the two were discussing and laughing, apparently satisfied.

"Be careful, there are assassins!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo almost didn't think about it, and instantly entered a state of concentration for spell casting, striding towards Jibu, who was a few steps ahead.

By the way, he also pulled Dean, who was a little dazed, and at the same time, a ball of light that was slightly smaller than the usual [Light Technique], but much brighter, appeared in his original position.

Regardless of whether the Assassins targeted him or not, it was only natural that Shado chose what was best for him.

And Gibb's reaction was also quite fast, and at the moment when Shadora pulled Dean closer, he and Uke turned back with their shields, protecting Shado and Dean on the left and right.

Just as Xia Duo was glad that the assassin hadn't attacked him, a crossbow arrow shot out of one side of the house, hitting exactly where he had just been, sinking into the dirt, leaving only a small tail feather trembling slightly.

At this moment, Xia Duozhi felt a chill in his back, and his heart couldn't help beating violently, and after the fear, a wave of anger suddenly erupted - someone wanted to kill him!

Xia Duo was not so easily carried away by anger, and when the team members were in a commotion, he hurriedly shouted, "Ava, catch it alive!" ”

In his heart, although Ava is very mysterious, he is also very powerful, and it was Ava who was the first to discover the anomaly and remind him in time.

The change on Xia Duo's side was also discovered by Sami and Devane's teams, who were only less than 50 meters away in front, and Sami even sent an inquiry message directly through the [Communication Technique].

"There is a little change, we can deal with it, you go first, it is important to go back to treat the wounded!" Xia Duo also replied with [Communication].

In just a short moment of this call, the people of Xia Duo and Dean's team also completed the vigilance formation, which happened so suddenly that no one expected that someone would sneak attack when passing through the village.

"Captain Gib, have you ever encountered something like this before?"

"Nope." Gibb affirmed, "Who dares to attack the lord's soldiers in the territory!" ”

However, this also drew a sneer from one of the soldiers, who remembered him as Azda, nicknamed "Mustache", who had been recruited from the adventurers, and whose small and neatly groomed beard was very impressive.

"Azda, what do you think?"

"Master Xia Duo, what can I think, it's nothing more than vendetta, you think about whether you usually offend people, of course, I'm not talking about two mages, but some people."

Azida glanced indistinctly at one of the soldiers recruited by the same adventurer next to him, as if to say that it was this man who had caused the trouble.

"Mustache, don't talk nonsense!" This guy has a strong desire to survive, and immediately revealed that he had had a financial entanglement with Azda, "I knew that I deducted the money for your mistake in that mission, and I said that I was not dissatisfied, but I didn't expect to wait for me here!" ”

"Old lock, you fart! If you weren't always deducting money from the team, would you have changed so many players? I think there are people who are not happy to find an assassin to kill you! ”

The nickname "Old Lock" was about to defend himself, but Xia Duo raised his hand to stop him, and he really didn't want to hear about this kind of intrigue between adventurers.

The arrow just now was clearly aimed at him, if it wasn't for the critical time, he shook the other party with the transformed [Light Technique], maybe he wouldn't be able to wait for Gibb to protect him, and he would have been shot by the adjusted crossbow arrow.

And the other reason why I don't want to hear their nonsense is, of course, Ava back.

It's just that he came back empty-handed, did he miss and let the assassin escape? Or—

"Ava, where's the Thorn Guest?"

"The situation is a bit complicated, Master Xia Duo, you come with me." Ava motioned for Shaddo to go with him alone.

Shado didn't understand what Ava meant, but he ordered the others to stand guard and followed Avala to a house not far from the road.

"Master Shado, I don't know who you've provoked, but I think you might be in big trouble." It was rare for Ava to say this, just as Shado wanted to ask.

Ava had already walked in, and Shado hurriedly followed.

As soon as he entered, Xia Duo smelled a dilapidated and decaying aura, mixed with some indescribable strange smells, which made Xia Duo frown.

The furnishings of the house were quite simple, the only furniture was a bed in the corner, a row of clay pots piled up on one side of the wall, and a few wooden chests on the other.

On the other side of the bed, there are two sheep!

In the center of the room is a clay pot hanging from the beam, and below is the trace of a fire, and there is also a half of dried meat from an unknown animal hanging on the beam, which is quite life-like.

This was the first time Xia Duo had seen the houses of ordinary color-resistant people, or more accurately, the homes of ordinary color-resistant farmers.

This must be the big trouble that Ava is talking about, and Shado looked around, and near the window, he found a man in a black robe, a crossbow falling to the side.

Presumably, this is the murderer and the murder weapon who just shot the arrow.

Xia Duo took two steps closer and looked closely, shocked, "This-"
