Curt pulls out his healing staff and heals Gordon and Hoffman. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) Hoffman was fine, but Gordon broke his left hand and two ribs.

Before the wounded could recover, Curt walked into the cave. Kelly slipped away silently, taking care of herself to collect the loot. Curt and Cameron continue on their way, finding a temple deep in the cave. This small temple is very simple, with only stone pillars engraved with the names of the gods and a flat rock altar. The altar was three meters long and one and a half meters wide, and was covered with dried blood and minced meat. The ogre wizard Hinton apparently performed several living sacrifices, and may have even made offerings to ogres who opposed him.

"Lord of the Dark Sun, Prince of Lies, God of the Black Sun......"

Curt struggled to make out the words of the giants on the stone pillars. These are all synonyms for the evil god Shirek, and it seems that Hinton is indeed a follower of Shirek. Curt turned his head, and now there was a large, strangely wide passage behind the altar. He walked over quickly, leaving Cameron behind.

Only a few steps away, Cameron couldn't see what was born. All of a sudden, he heard Curt's screams and the muffled sound of a blunt object breaking his muscles. A strange expression appeared on Cameron's face, and he quickly turned his head to make sure that Kelly hadn't noticed what was going on. Cameron then cautiously walked into the passage and saw Curt lying in a pool of blood, and a ridiculously tall figure.

It was a frost giant, the emperor of the tundra. The Frost Giant resembles an enlarged version of a barbarian warrior, wearing a large chainmail shirt with a fur layer, wielding a siege-engine-like hammer, and reaching an incredible height of five meters. Even the strongest ogres will appear small and fragile when they stand on the side of the frost giants.

In general, frost giants live in the extreme depths of the tundra and rarely actively approach human settlements. Because they are so conspicuous that they can destroy an entire village on their own. Therefore, the existing frost giants will definitely be surrounded and suppressed, and no human city-state will turn a blind eye to the frost giants. If they appear in groups, then it is equivalent to a walking disaster.

But Cameron was not surprised by the appearance of the frost giant, and he even boldly walked over. Cameron looked down at the dead Curt and muttered to himself at the bloody corpse:

"You're still a little out of luck, little mage. You don't understand that the Lord of the Dark Sun can writhe you like an ant. Well, why meddle with your business? If you don't wade into troubled waters, I'd rather like to follow you and make a career with you. ”

"Sounds interesting. ”

Another Curt stepped out from behind the Frost Giant, smiling. Cameron's face froze immediately, and he widened the only remaining single eye. At the same time, Curt's body disappeared. It is a level 1 spell, an illusion created by a silent phantom. Silent apparitions can create false objects to deceive the enemy's vision.

In the next second, a small iron ring on Cameron's left hand lit up. When the ring shattered, the Jungle Wanderer's Bow appeared in Cameron's hand. He pulled out a metal arrow from his backhand and placed it on the bow to aim it at Curt. At the same time, the surface of the metal arrow peeled off, revealing its true emerald green color. - It was a magic arrow with jasper as an arrow, enchanted wood as the main rod, and eagle feathers as the tail wing, which happened to be matched with the Jungle Wanderer's Bow.

"Seeing this bow, I'll be able to determine your real employer. ”

Curt shook his head and let out a sigh. He didn't care about aiming his bow and arrows, but continued with an indifferent face:

"Hurricane shooter Cameron, you're too careless. So when Wallace brought you to me, I realized that something was wrong. You're so good, and you don't want to be paid, you're a mercenary made for me, and I can't refuse at all. Of course, I want to have good luck, but I also know how to check if I have stepped on a trap when my luck is too good. ”

β€œ...... That's all, what else do you have?"

Cameron kept his aim and didn't shoot the arrow. His confusion was clear at a glance, so Curt smiled and said:

"Do you remember the three arrows that were left in my house? I have a friend who is proficient in alchemy, and it only took him five minutes to extract the old bone meal from it. Then it's very simple, either you're in a relationship with a mage, especially a necromantic mage, or you're a tomb robber. Either way, I won't trust you. There are many ways to get to the bottom of a person's background, and I don't necessarily need to pull the answer out of your mouth. ”

β€œ...... What else?"

Cameron's face was as dead as ashes, and his hand holding the bow was shaking. Curt looked at Cameron sympathetically and said earnestly:

"One more thing, your torture skills are too good. Maybe you're so committed that you want to play the role of a vengeful person. It's a pity that an archer shouldn't know so much about the structure of the human body, only people who have stayed with necromantic mages for a long time, often witnessed, and even participated in dissections, can be as comfortable as you. Finally, after the elimination of the mountain barbarians, you have too little joy to express. Then again, the real point is that I never trusted you in the first place. Based on this, I found more and more flaws. ”

"Enough!"

Cameron yelled, then swallowed hard. He glanced at the frost giant, who was motionless, and wondered in his heart what would be the use of shooting the arrow. Cameron was well aware of Curt's style, and if he wasn't quite sure, Curt would never recklessly tear his face with the enemy.

Cameron even wondered if Gordon and Hoffman hadn't come over so far, and that it was Curt's fault. He slowly lowered the Jungle Wanderer's Bow, then said hesitantly:

"What the hell do you want?"

"Find out the black hand behind your back, so that he can't do whatever he wants. ”

Curt smiled casually, looking very relaxed. He took a deep breath, and then said loudly:

"I know two thingsβ€”first, the Church of the Lord of the Dark Sun is expanding its faith, and the ogre wizards were originally their target. Second, Maxim, a dark sun believer, has captured more than a dozen children from thousands of miles away, and even did not hesitate to offend Silvermoon City. All things considered, I come to a terrible conclusion. The Church of the Lord of the Dark Sun is going to hold a memorial service to welcome the new members. Children are more likely to be sacrificed alive...... At best, they'll also be entertaining** or whatever. ”

Before the words fell, there was the sound of something falling to the ground on the other side of the passage. Curt naturally turned his head, and while he was distracted, Cameron suddenly raised his bow.

Before the arrow could be fired, Cameron was knocked to the ground. His right shoulder was smashed by the dagger, followed by another heavy kick in the crook of his knee. Quentin, the killer who flashes out of the shadows, strikes hard, and each attack is both professional and ferocious. After a while, he stepped on Cameron's chest and said with a tired face:

"We've been following the little mage's ass for so long, and it's been a long time for you to show your fox's tail. Please, don't rush to die, if you just shot the arrow, you would have hung up by now. ”

At the same time, Fretia the elf stepped out of the inner side of the passage. In order to cooperate with Curt's plan, Fretia dived into the depths of the ogre's lair first, using a level 5 divine technique, the advanced immobilization technique, to subdue the frost giant. In addition to this, Fretia also helped Curt create a false sound, making Cameron mistakenly believe that Curt had died at the hands of the Frost Giant.

Now Fretia was pale, staring at Curt as if she had been terrified. Because Curt didn't tell Fretia, the children could have ended so badly.

"Your plan is good, straightforward and efficient. It was just too sudden, and we were so frozen on the road. ”

Quentin said happily, then sneezed. It was Gran who arranged their operation, and the night before leaving the city of a thousand laws, Curt gave Gran a plan and asked him to quietly pass it on to Fretia and the others. In order to repay Curt's kindness, Gran carefully completed the entrustment. So the elves, the Iron Guard, and the killer followed Curt and his party, and finally used group stealth to preemptively enter the ogre's lair, make all the arrangements, and use teleportation to inform Curt of the situation.

When the truth was pieced together little by little in front of him, Cameron, who fell to the ground, could only admit defeat. He can't lie in front of a god-empowered elven priest, and Quentin is also an even more brutal and professional torturer than Cameron. So Cameron had no choice but to give up resistance and try to find a way to survive for himself. He gave a lot of useful information, but he had trouble telling his employer's name.

"My host is...... Uh, uh, uh-huh......"

Cameron raised his hand in pain and grabbed his throat. Some kind of spell is tormenting him, preventing him from telling the name of the man behind it. After identification, Freita is now blessed with a level 6 spell, a high indication. Advanced Instruction can distort the will of the recipient and force them to complete a specific task. If the recipient intends to resist, then the magical energy will harm them and even bring death.

"Alright, let's stop here. ”

Curt patted Cameron and let the other go. He leaned down and picked up the Jungle Wanderer's Bow and Jade Arrow from the ground. Then Curt put the bow and arrow into Freitia's hand, and said with relief:

"Come, we've made an appointment. With this arrow, the Jungle Wanderer's Bow is even more powerful than it used to be. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Curt. I swear to the true god Corellon that I will repay your kindness. ”

Curt smiled and nodded, watching Fretia pass by him and hurried to the exit. As Quentin prepares to follow, Curt takes a half-step forward and quietly gives Quentin a small roll of note.
