Now Master Kenny's greatest hope is to be discovered by Xia Duo and the others in time, and then sleep well, and after recovering his spellcasting ability, he will become that powerful necromancer again.

Of course, all of this is only if he can get through the tricks and get shelter, before the pursuers arrive.

……

In the temporary camp of Shado, under purposeful observation, Shado penetrated the cracks in the forest, and could already see a hobbling figure walking in their direction.

Closer, Xia Duo could already roughly distinguish that it was a middle-aged man, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary merchant in Savile Town, who seemed to be really an ordinary person.

"Captain Gib, you go and answer and inquire about the identity of the other party."

"Yes."

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, and before Xia Duo could give orders, they put away their weapons one after another, but Xia Duo didn't, just covered the hand crossbow with his cloak, and the direction of the arrow was still firmly pointing at the middle-aged merchant.

Over there, Gibb had already received the man, and after the two had spoken a few words, Gibb shouted loudly, "Come on someone to help, he's about to collapse!" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Xia Duo, waiting for his instructions, Xia Duo nodded, and the two team members rushed out, one left and one right, and took them to the campfire.

Xia Duo carefully observed the middle-aged man who looked like a merchant, comparing it with the merchant of Savile Town in his memory, and as soon as he saw this person, Xia Duo's attention was on his fingers and neck.

Fair-skinned, which is not something that ordinary businessmen can have.

The businessmen Xia Duo has seen are only slightly better off than ordinary people, and when it comes to enjoyment, they haven't reached that level! It is simply impossible to have such fair skin.

Looking at his face again, although he looked loyal and honest, Xia Duo always felt that something was wrong.

From the middle-aged man's conversation with Gibb, Shado learns that this man claims to be a leather merchant in the town of Savile, and that he and his companions have encountered orcs in the forest and are separated!

This made Xia Duo even more suspicious, not to mention how many orcs there were in the forest, how they happened to meet them, let's just talk about how an ordinary person could escape from the orcs!

There were no details, just a vague sentence, but I didn't expect Jib to believe it, and even took out his own rations for him to eat.

The people around him didn't show any vigilant looks, they just lifted their vigilance, and they were really so big-hearted?

Xia Duo suddenly thought of Ava and was about to look for it, but he didn't expect Ava to suddenly disappear, and almost subconsciously, Xia Duo entered a state of concentration for spell casting.

The image of the middle-aged man who looked like a businessman in front of him was no different from other people, and there was no magic aura on his body, and Xia Duo was a little suspicious if he was too suspicious.

At this moment, a gnat-like voice came from behind him, "This person may be a mage, look at the inside of his right wrist has a magic rune." ”

It's Ava!

Shado's heart froze, but his face was as usual, and his gaze inadvertently swept over the man's wrist, but Shado didn't notice the magic runes in Ava's mouth.

If this person is a mage, as Ava said, then there must be some ulterior motive, a mage wearing the clothes of an ordinary merchant on a cold day, hiking in the forest, thinking about it is problematic.

Xia Duo had the intention of shooting him with an arrow, but he was worried that this person had some unknown means, so he tried to pull the magic net under the cloak, but did not want to make any magic effect, but simply "pulled" the wisps of the magic web.

At such a close distance, if the other party is a mage and happens to enter the spellcasting state, then even an apprentice will be able to detect the movement on Xia Duo's side.

But the man didn't do anything, and was still chatting with Gibb and them, and of course it was possible to find out and pretend not to find out.

But as long as the other party did not move, Xia Duo still had to continue to try, this time he operated the [Mage's Hand] to add the remaining paralyzing poison used to quench the poison before to the water bag.

Xia Duo put away his crossbow under the cloak, lifted the cloak and ripped off the water bag on his waist, and handed it to the middle-aged man who seemed to be a mage, "Drink saliva, I have been keeping it close to me, it is warm." ”

The only people who can have warm water to drink here are probably Xia Duo and Dean, but at this time, Dean also seemed to be reminded and untied the water bag from his waist.

Xia Duo saw it, and hurriedly handed the water bag in his hand to the middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was the outlaw Master Kenny, and when he saw the two apprentices competing for warm water, he couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of the necklace on his chest, and decided to give old Neil a pleasure when he went back to get the location of the ruins.

Kenny pulled the stopper and took a sip, a little sweet, as if he had put sugar, just right for him to regain his strength, but the next second, Kenny's hand loosened and his body fell backwards.

Xia Duo used the [Mage's Hand] to use the water bag and shouted, "Ava, check!" ”

"Master Chardo, what the hell is going on?" Gibb felt that his head was a little insufficient, and he was talking and laughing just now, why did he suddenly turn his face.

Seeing that Gibb only asked a question and did not stop him, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief and did not answer the question, but motioned for Ava to hurry up and check.

"Xia Duo, what's wrong with him?" Dean was also a little puzzled, if he thought there was something wrong with this person, he shouldn't have brought him back just now.

"Look—"

Shado gestured to Ava, who was busy at work, and by this time Ava had expertly unwrapped the middle-aged man's clothes, and by this time, Kenny had finally lost his load.

His eyes were full of anger, and he asked in a somewhat inarticulate voice, "What do you want to do!" ”

But most of his body was paralyzed, and he couldn't do anything, let alone cast spells, so he could only watch as Ava scoured him with a small cloth bag the size of a palm.

Such a small cloth bag, Xia Duo saw it in the hands of the golden-robed mage when he chose the mission area, it was such a small bag at that time, and a large number of badges were poured out of it.

Dimensional bag!

Xia Duo entered the state of concentration on spellcasting, and saw that the small bag in his hand was emitting a strong magical aura, but he hadn't noticed it before.

After another look, Ava had found something else—

A pendant is a necklace of an elf statue, with an extremely weak magical aura, and if you carry it with you, it will even be obscured by the aura of the human body itself;

a metal scroll case, but the inside is empty;

Two rings with unique shapes, one of which has a strong magical aura, and the other is completely absent, seemingly just an ordinary ring.

But the dimensional bags are all out, how can this ring really be so ordinary!

In addition to these things, there are also some bone fragments, gold coins, gems, pins and other miscellaneous items.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was almost stripped naked and trembling in the cold wind, Xia Duo didn't have the slightest pity, just covered him with his original clothes, poured another mouthful of paralyzing poisonous water, and asked:

"Who are you? Isn't it a mage? What is the purpose of deliberately approaching us? ”
