Escaping Morsoblay with the body of a blonde man was a bit more troublesome than Townsend had imagined.

When Townsend left the basement where the slaves were imprisoned and came to the upper house, Townsend clearly felt that the atmosphere of the entire Morsoblay City had changed.

The huge stone pillar that towered in the center of the city, this timer that had been silent at night, now shone with an extremely strong magical light, completely illuminating the entire underground city.

Townsend didn't think it was because he had killed the slave traders—two more deaths like this would not be enough to drag the drow nobles out of his feast, let alone light up the huge stone pillars in violation of the rules.

The only person in the entire city of Morsobrai who has the right to do this is the high priest of the temple of Rose, and such an abrupt situation-

"Is it an oracle?"

Townsend narrowed his eyes, guessing in his heart.

"Only Rose's influence on Morsoblay City and the Drow Elves can set off such a big battle in a short period of time."

"At me. No, it's for Xue Xue, right? ”

Townsend couldn't think of any other possibility, after all, Rose didn't know that he was related to Neverwinter, and it was impossible for him to know that he had come to Morsoblay.

Only Xue Xue, who had some connection to Rose, would alarm this evil god.

"However, if I don't end up myself, if you want to catch me with these people in Mosoblay City, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Townsend looked at the situation outside through the window, and his heart was not panicked.

His own body and Xue Xue were all in the half-plane, and they did not appear in Mosoblay City at all, and the only bond with this plane was the mind that was replaced by the fruit of the operation.

And it is even more unlikely that Rose will end up in person, the other party may have some interest in Xue Xue - probably because Xue Xue was once his believer, and maybe even the more outstanding priest who entered Rose's sight, because of the sudden loss of contact, it attracted Rose's attention after a long time.

The reason why Rose sent an oracle to arrest Xue Xue is probably because when he contacted Xue Xue in the Endless Abyss, Xue Xue ignored him completely.

"The only trouble is that this body really doesn't have any abilities."

If the ability to intervene in the body, or even the ability to intervene in the gods, Mosoblay City is not a threat to Tang Sen at all, but it is not only Rose who is staring at him, but also more powerful gods, acting in the way of mind exchange, is the most hidden way that Tang Sen can imagine.

He turned to look at the slaves.

Apparently, the slaves had also noticed that Morsobre was unusual for tonight, and most of the people had begun to turn pale and tremble.

"It's just. Just killed a slave trader, did you need such a big battle? ”

"It has nothing to do with the slave traders, does it? Something big must have happened in Morsoblay. ”

"No matter what happens, we're in big trouble now!"

"In normal times, we might still have a chance to escape, but now all the Drow Elves are alarmed. We're dead! ”

"Can you save it by going back to the cell honestly? Just when we never escaped? ”

"Don't be delusional, there's no way back."

In the midst of the quarrel, more and more slaves turned their attention to Townese.

I don't know why, seeing the face of Town's current body, they can't help but have hope in their hearts - a person who looks like this, even if he creates a miracle, is it not impossible?

Moreover, judging from the previous experience, this person can bend and stretch, and when there is no opportunity, he completely grovels and paralyzes the vigilance of the slave traders, and even the other slaves are all deceived, and as soon as he seizes the opportunity, he kills decisively, directly kills the slave trader and rescues everyone.

If there is one person who can lead everyone out of here, who else can it be?

So, the quarrel slowly stopped, and was replaced by a pair of expectant eyes.

In the face of these gazes, Tang Sen's face was already calm, his waist was straight, his deep gaze swept over every face, and finally spoke: "You are right, now the entire Mosoblay City has woken up, no matter what the reason, now is the time when Mosoblay City is most heavily guarded. ”

"I want to escape from Morsoblay at this time. A narrow escape. ”

All the slaves had confused and unexpected expressions.

They stared at Townsend in disbelief, and someone stammered, "But, didn't you kill the slave trader and release us?" ”

"I just opened the door, and it's your choice whether to follow me and escape." Tang Sen said calmly: "Moreover, you still have a choice now. ”

"Life or death should be in your own hands."

Someone broke down and scolded: "This is just your own statement, where do we have a chance to choose now!" ”

Someone immediately chimed in: "That's right, I knew this was the case, so I might as well not come out!" ”

Tang Sen just looked at them coldly and said:

"For those drow nobles, dead slave traders have no value, but slaves are valuable, and when you return to the cage, other slave traders will take you away."

"If they ask about the slave traders, you just have to tell them the truth that I killed them."

As soon as these words came out, the slaves were suddenly shocked again.

A halfling, who looked a little calmer, stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Didn't you say that you would die now by escaping from Mosoblay City, but listening to your tone, you don't plan to go back?" ”

"It's no longer the case." Townsend quickly gathered some miscellaneous items in the slave merchant's house, and found a robe to wrap his face and body in, and then replied, "If I return to the cage, I may be able to save my life, but I will never have a chance to escape." ”

"Nine deaths, there is still a slight chance, and sit back and wait to die-"

He clenched his fists: "I can accept the temporary shame, I can accept being trampled in the dust, but I am not willing to let the fire of freedom in my heart be extinguished." ”

"Maybe you can wait for next time"

"Can't wait." Tang Sen directly interrupted his words, "There is not so much time to waste here. ”

"The Drow Elves will soon be searching, and even if they're not coming for us, they won't mind executing a few slaves trying to escape, and we must get out before their search net is completely tightened."

He glanced outside, then finally looked back at the slaves, "I told you, it's a choice. ”

Then, Tang Sen directly opened the door, and the light from the huge stone pillar in the center of the city shone on Tang Sen's body, making his back almost a silhouette.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped straight into the light, only the sound echoing through the room.

"Those who want to be slaves, let them stay."

"May the dead come with me."

The slaves looked at each other a few times, and the halfling gritted his teeth and followed first, and soon several more slaves made up their minds, while the others, trembling, retreated to the basement, locked the door of the cell again, and then threw the key to freedom, far above the corpse of the drow.

The location of the slave merchant's house was quite remote, and there was no Drow elf to search it for the time being, and several slaves quickly discovered Townsen's back, and at this time, the other party not only did not take the opportunity to escape into those hidden alleys, but even walked in the direction of the street.

"Didn't you just say we had to get out now?" The halfling quickened his pace to catch up and whispered, "You're going in the opposite direction!" The way out of town is in the back! ”

"Oh." Tang Sen didn't stop walking, and replied in the same low voice: "So, are you a legendary spellcaster or a legendary warrior?" ”

"Huh? Of course not. The halfling was a little stunned: "I'm just an ordinary halfling scholar. If I'm so good, how can I be captured as a slave? ”

"What about you?" Townsend looked at the other slaves who had already followed.

The slaves shook their heads.

"Obviously, neither am I." Tang Sen spread his hands: "Then, I don't think that with a few of us, we have the ability to escape." ”

"Use your brain, we haven't met the Drow Elves here yet, because it doesn't matter at all, if the Drow Elves are going to search the city, what do you think they will do first?"

Without waiting for the slaves to answer, Tang Sen said directly: "Block all ways to leave Mosoblay City. ”

"Believe me, right now, that's the most dangerous place."

The halfling opened his mouth wide, and soon realized that what Townsend said was right, and he said, "But. Didn't you just say"

"I lied to them." Tang Sen said casually: "If someone wants to track down our whereabouts in the future, it is absolutely impossible for them to help us conceal it, in this case, it is better to give them a wrong direction Of course, the effect is better than nothing, it is just an idle move." ”

"Huh?" The halfling's voice couldn't help but be a little louder: "Now think about the follow-up?" We're not out of danger yet. Wait, what are you doing? ”

He saw that Townsend was already crouched in front of a rather ornate house, and was pulling out a pot of liquid from his cloak and splashing it at the corner.

"Just saw that the slave trader happened to have some oil in stock."

As he spoke, Tang Sen took out a box of matches and lit them with a click: "I think he won't need it anyway." ”

"Is this a question of whether it is useful?" A human slave suddenly became anxious: "You don't want to set fire, do you?" That's sure to catch the attention of the Drow Elves! ”

"I think so too." Tang Sen let go of his finger, and the match fell directly to the ground, and suddenly, the flames grew wildly, sweeping away like a monster.

Tang Sen took a step back slightly, squinting at this scene: "Speaking of which, I have always felt that Mosoblay City has done an average job in terms of fire prevention, you see, most of these building materials are flammable. ”

"Is this the time to dwell on this?" Several slaves jumped up in fright, "It's over, it's over, you're just a madman, you don't have to run out, you're going to attract more attention when you're so heavily guarded?" ”

"If you knew that you wouldn't be impulsive to keep up, even if you continue to be a slave, it's much better than messing around with a madman like you and dying for your life."

"I thought that the people who followed were willing to die for freedom." Tang Sen said: "Since you are not ready to die, why should you follow? ”

"I-" The slave opened his mouth, a little less confident, "That's not the way to die." ”

"Death is death, and it never matters how you die." Townsend Road.

At this time, the halfling had already keenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the street corner in the distance, and he hurriedly shouted, "What should I do next?" You must have your reasons for doing this, right? If we're going to get the attention of those drow elves and take the opportunity to escape, we'll have to get going. ”

Compared to the other slaves, this halfling seemed to be a little calmer, and at least he could think rationally about the logic of Tang Sen's behavior, rather than directly thinking that Tang Sen was going crazy.

"It's time to go." Townsend touched his waist again, took out a loop of rope, skillfully hit a knot, shook it a few times, and then threw it upward.

The knot hit the corner of the roof of a nearby building with extreme precision.

"That's the way it is!" The halfling's eyes lit up: "You really have a plan, if you go to the roof, we may be able to avoid those drow elves who are surrounding." ”

Several other slaves were also stunned, and one of them couldn't wait to grab the rope and crawl upward.

"Wait, where are you going?"

At this time, Towngsen's voice sounded in another place, and he was standing in front of the burning house, beckoning to this side: "Come this way." ”

"Huh?" The halfling asked again: "Isn't it on the roof?" ”

"Don't make a fuss, is it true that there are no spellcasters in Mosoblay City?" As he spoke, Tang Sen wrapped his body tightly in his black robe, then took a deep breath and crashed headlong into the sea of fire.

The slave, who had already climbed half of the rope, froze in place, and when he saw that the other slaves had followed Townsen, he looked up at the roof that was close at hand.

"Maniac!"

After scolding in a low voice, he finally gritted his teeth, let go of the rope, and quickly headed towards the sea of fire.

The flames scorched his body, the back in front of him was already looming in the flames, and the smoke made him almost unable to open his eyes, but at this time there was no way out, he had to follow the back in front of him through the fire, in such torture, time seemed to be extraordinarily long, until suddenly, he was stunned to find that the back in front of him disappeared.

Just like that, it suddenly disappeared into the fire.

This frightened the slave almost crazy, he hurried forward, only to find a secret door in front of him, he hurriedly jumped down, and suddenly felt the temperature around him drop.

It's a basement.

In other words, a basement converted from a natural cave, through those fungi, you can see that this place is empty, only hard stone walls, probably because there are no combustibles, the scope of the flames does not affect here, but the smoke still inevitably fills the entire space.

"Here, take a hand." Tang Sen appeared beside him, pushing a boulder next to him with great effort, the slave's brain was a slurry, and he reflexively went up to help, gathered the strength of several people, and finally blocked the entrance with the boulder.

The constant stream of smoke finally stopped pouring in.

At this time, everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief and sit on the ground.

"What the hell are we doing?" One of the slaves stammered, "Why should you run into the fire when you can run from the rooftop?" ”

He looked around, and although it was a natural cave, he didn't see any passage to the rest of the world, at most there were only some gaps between the stones, barely able to circulate some air.

"If you don't want to be arrested immediately, this is the only way at the moment." Townsend took off the cloak on his body, found a bottle of wine out of nowhere, took a sip, and threw it towards the halfling.

"Don't want to be caught? Aren't we caught in the net now? One of the slaves cried with a sad face: "You have lit a fire to attract the attention of those drow elves, and believe me, now there are drow elves everywhere above our heads!" ”

"And now, there is nowhere to escape!"

"There's no need to run away." Tang Sen shook his head: "At least, there is no need to run away now, the only thing we have to do is wait." ”

"Wait?" The halfling also took a sip of wine, handed it to the other slaves, and said, "What are you waiting for?" This secret door is not hidden, and when the drow elves clean up the fire, they will surely come in and catch us. Wait a minute! ”

He suddenly showed a thoughtful expression: "They. . Will it do so? ”

Tang Sen suddenly laughed: "You are still a brainer." ”

But the halfling didn't seem to hear Tang Sen's approval, he was excited because of his guess, punched his hands hard, stood up, and shouted excitedly: "That's right, this is indeed the best way, why didn't I think of it."

"What the hell are you talking about?" The other slaves looked confused.

"Fire!" The halfling waved his arms exaggeratedly and said, "If you were a drow elf, you wouldn't even try to enter here before putting out the fire, in this case, they would never have thought that we were actually hiding in the fire!" ”

"In their opinion, we must have set fire to attract attention, and then take the opportunity to escape!"

He looked at Tang Sen in amazement: "And the rope. The reason you laid the rope is to mislead them! ”

"When they see the fire and the ropes, they'll think we've escaped from the roof."

"You've already planned everything! The only thing I can't figure out is, how did you choose this house? How do you know that there are hidden underground caves under this house, and that there are no people living in them? ”

Without waiting for Tang Sen to answer, he quickly asked himself again, and said, "Also, could it be that you showed such a submissive posture before, I'm afraid not only to paralyze the slave trader, but also to delay time to collect information about the surrounding area, right?" ”

Townson: "That's right. ”

Although it was because when he first came to Morsoblay City, he had already sensed the topography and details of the city with the fruit of surgery.

"But. What's the point? One of the slaves said, "We still haven't escaped from Morsoblay, have we?" ”

"At least we'll be able to get through the most dangerous phase." Tang Sen said: "If it was nine deaths before, now we have at least a thirty percent chance of survival." ”

"Why?" The slave asked bluntly.

Tang Sen narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Halfling is partly right, I did set the fire to attract the attention of the Drow Elves and mislead them by the way, but this is by no means the most important reason. ”

"Think about tonight's battle. Believe me, the drows will turn the whole city of Morsobrai upside down, search every corner of the city, check every living cranny in it, not just slaves, but even the clans. ”

After all, it was Rose's oracle, and from the moment the other party's will descended on Mosobre City, all the power of the city would serve to capture Xue Xue.

"Under normal circumstances, we would never find a place that would have escaped such a close scrutiny."

"Unless, we can make a place. A place where the drow elves naturally felt that there was no need to investigate at all. ”

Townsend raised his hand, stretched out a finger, and tapped the ground.

There was a sudden silence in the cavern.

All the slaves stared blankly at Townesend.

They didn't know how to describe the feeling in their hearts at this time, they just felt that the hairs on their bodies stood up uncontrollably.

"Of course, there is a limit to waiting." Townsend continued, "We can't stay here forever, after all, we're still in danger, and we're going to get more and more dangerous as time goes by, and those drow elves will definitely go crazy when they can't achieve their goals. ”

"So, we're going to have to take advantage of the Drow Elves' brief slack after their investigation, and then find a way to get out of Morsoblay City. Of course, this is where the opportunity arises. ”

Tang Sen shrugged: "After all, I'm not a god, not even a professional, so I can only do this at the moment." ”

This is indeed Tang Sen's truth, if it weren't for avoiding the perception of the gods, he wouldn't need to be so troublesome at all, and now this body as an ordinary person, Tang Sen can only do it now.

After all, it was still too rushed, and Townsend didn't think he was the kind of person who had a quick wit, and if he had more time to plan, many links should be more certain.

But apparently the slaves didn't think so, or that the part that Townsend didn't do well enough might have been beyond their comprehension for them.

"Anyway, let's get some rest." Tang Sen waved his hand and ended the topic: "It just so happens that I also took some dry food from the slave trader's room by the way, although it is not much, but it is enough to eat. ”

He found some more food.

This made the slaves feel the gap even more, and when they were still in a state of panic, the man in front of them seemed to have prepared everything, not only ropes, ignitions, but even food and wine!

The halfling took the food, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Now, even if we fail in the end, I feel that my choice was not wrong. ”

"Mr. Halfling, we are not yet at a point where we need to think about failure." Townsend laughed.

"O'Neill." The halfling sat up straight and said seriously, "Sir, my name is O'Neill. ”

"I thought that from the day I was caught in Morsoblay, I would never use my own name again. Sir, at least for now, I think I can introduce myself by my original name, not a halfling slave worth fifty gold coins. ”

Such words resonated with the other slaves, who all said, "Yes, I am not an adult human male worth fifty gold coins, my name is Herbert Falk!" ”

"I'm not a dwarven slave either, my name is Werther! By the way, I'm worth a hundred gold coins. ”

"Huh? Why are you taller than us? ”

"Hey, dwarves are naturally strong! And there is also a superb casting skill! Isn't it normal to be worth more than you? ”

"No, I think it's because dwarves live longer and are more durable, and can be toyed with by those disgusting dark elf nobles longer, right?"

"Shut your mouth, do you want to taste my fist?"

"Okay, okay, just a joke, I can't beat you, at least now, we're no longer the ones they measure the value of life by a number."

"Hey, this sentence is quite good, let you go."

After all, this quarrel made the atmosphere between the slaves a little more lively, and they all looked at Townese.

Tang Sen understood and said, "Arthur." ”

"That's my name."

Townsend didn't know what the original name of the body was, but it didn't matter.

From this moment on, his name was Arthur, well, a name that Townsend thought would be a good fit for the body.

The halfling then spoke respectfully, "Mr. Arthur—"

"Just call me Arthur." Townsend interrupted him and said, "We are all in the same boat now, I am not more noble than everyone else, and even in some ways, I still need everyone's help. ”

"Speaking of which, do we have a spellcaster here?"

The halfling smiled bitterly, "The caster is not the same price as us. Arthur, apart from you, we are in the hands of slave traders, and we are almost all sold for leftovers. ”

"Women are better to sell, followed by spellcasters, then elves, and finally those of us." The dwarf spoke, "I heard from the slave trader that if we can't sell it anymore, he's going to pack it up and sell it to the gray dwarf trader. ”

"In the end, you will either live forever in the mining area, or you will be sold to the deeper layers of the dark region. I've heard that gray dwarves also trade with psionics, and that a lot of them need intelligent creatures to reproduce. ”

Everyone suddenly shuddered.

No one wants a soul-sucking monster larva to be implanted in their brains and transform themselves into a monster.
