Chapter 51: Anthony is furious
Follow Lawrence to the mercenaries, several mercenaries were stabbed by the killer because they had just woken up and reacted slowly, but fortunately they avoided the vital point, and the injuries were not life-threatening, but they also affected their normal operations.
"Head, Piri, Us, and Char are all dead. β
A member of the team came to report.
"There were Chico, Kuhl, who were killed before they woke up, and a few who were slightly injured. β
Five people were reduced at once, and a squad of twenty people was reduced by a quarter at once.
"How are they injured, will they be able to make their way tomorrow?"
Lawrence's brows furrowed deeply, he thought it was a simple task, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated, but since he took the task, he had to finish it, otherwise not only would the mercenary union not be able to talk about it, but even the Marquis of Anthony would not let go of his group.
"This, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, if you force your way, I'm afraid that the injuries of several of them will be aggravated. β
The team member who reported to Lawrence said that he also had some injuries on his body, but they were all minor injuries that did not affect his movements, and the few he said were lying on the ground and could not get up, and if they were jolting, they were probably not killed by the killer, but were also killed by the carriage.
"What's the matter, Captain Lawrence, is there any difficulty?"
Faeron, who was on the side, saw Lawrence frowning, so he came over to ask.
"Young Master Feren, there are a few team members who are seriously injured, and I am afraid that it will affect our speed, but if we keep them here, we will inevitably have to assign a few people to take care of them, so that our number will be reduced again, which is really ....... β
Lawrence's dilemma is also clear, isn't it that someone is injured and will drag down the team, and he is in a dilemma.
"I'm still thinking about it, it's too easy, Captain Lawrence won't forget where I came from. β
Feren smiled lightly, pretending to take out a few bottles of magical healing potions from his sleeve, but they were actually all stuffed into his backpack by Anthony, saying that it was for Feren's self-defense.
"Magic potion?!How did I forget, the largest magic item shop in Philo Collar is the Anthony family, and Young Master Feren, as a member of the Anthony family, of course has magic potions to use. β
Lawrence patted his head and said happily, but immediately calmed down again.
"Is Young Master Faren going to give them these potions to heal their wounds?"
Lawrence asked a little unconfidently, you must know that these potions are expensive, and the general mercenaries will use them as hole cards to save their lives, Lawrence because they don't earn much, and they are often escort missions, unlike the mercenaries who go on expeditions are as desperate, so the magic potions are not prepared, and the usual injuries are only treated with some herbs, and the effect is of course a hundred times worse than the magic potion, and the mercenaries who usually adventure in the Shining Gold Mountain Range, but almost everyone has a bottle, the investment is large, and the harvest is also big, and their harvest can be two or three times that of Lawrence, if they are lucky, it is possible to get rich overnightγ
"Of course, since they were there to protect my injuries, I should also say it. β
Faeron stuffed the potion into Lawrence's hand, such a low-level healing potion, Anthony prepared a lot for Feren, and Feren didn't care about these bottles.
"Thank you so much Young Master Faerun, I immediately let them take it. β
Lawrence excitedly took a few bottles of magic potions in his hand, for fear that one would fall to the ground unsteadily, and after hurriedly giving Faeron a salute, he ran to treat the team members, and took the magic potion as soon as possible.
Of course, the magic potion in Lawrence's hand naturally made the mercenaries gathered around the wounded ecstatic, and with these, unnecessary attrition was avoided.
After a while, Lawrence returned, holding the remaining magic potion in his hand.
"Young Master Faerun, this is an unused potion. β
As he spoke, he respectfully handed it over.
What are you kidding, will the things I gave out be taken back, young master? Not to mention these low-level healing potions.
"No, I'll give you these for later. β
Faeron waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to send it back.
"That's really Xiexie Young Master Fei Lun, don't worry, Young Master Fei Lun will definitely be on the road on time tomorrow, and then we can rush to the next city in the morning, and Young Master Fei Lun can also use the Magic Guild to send a magical message to Lord Marquis, so that Lord Marquis knows our situation." β
Lawrence hurriedly put away the potion, and then gave Feren some advice.
"Well, I see, by the way, what about the dead members?"
"After a while, we will cremate them, go back to their hometown, and I will personally send Piri's ashes back after the mission is over. β
Lawrence's mood suddenly fell, Piri was his countryman, and he came out with him, but unfortunately his casualness killed him.
"Condolences. β
Fei Lun didn't know what to say, it stands to reason that they died because of themselves, but this is their task, take money to do things, there is nothing to be sorry for.
"It's okay, mercenaries are originally a profession that makes money with their lives, even if Piri doesn't die on this mission, he will definitely not live for long, he is becoming more and more careless, and this time he almost killed all of us. β
According to the investigation, Lawrence knew that the killer came from the direction of Piri, if Piri was serious, maybe he wouldn't have died, at least not so many people, if Piri was still alive, maybe Lawrence was ready to strangle him with his own hands.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Fei Lun turned around and returned to the carriage, ready to continue to rest, but unfortunately after the killer incident, Fei Lun was not so easy to fall asleep peacefully, thinking over and over again, who did he provoke, he actually sent the killer, he was not a mocking face, he was not so unlucky, he was so cranky, he fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long it took, it was dawn.
Fei Lun took the mirror and looked at the two dark circles under his eyes, and knew that the sleep time must be very short, hurry to the next city, tell Grandpa Anthony, and see what Grandpa Anthony can do.
After a simple breakfast, the convoy quickly hit the road, I have to say that Anthony's potion works well, and a few mercenaries who were still half-dead last night can barely walk, and they can already sit in the carriage behind them and follow the team, and they are no longer a drag.
Fei Lun didn't have the heart to look at the scenery, and he didn't have the heart to read a book, so he just leaned against the car window and held his head to meditate on the questions that he didn't understand last night.
Sure enough, as Lawrence said, he arrived at the next city in the morning, and it was a big city, not much different from Philo City.
Hurrying through the city gates, Fallon rushed to the Magic Guild under the leadership of Lawrence, while the others were looking for an inn to rest, because with the appearance of the killer, the convoy would not leave the safe city for a while.
Magic letter is a way for magicians to quickly transmit messages, using the simple space magic researched to teleport light items over long distances, in fact, it is to transmit paper information, and no matter how big or heavy things can not be transmitted, even if the transmission of letters requires the level of a great magician to operate, and it consumes a lot of mana.
The magic letters of the Magic Guild are open to the public, and they can be used as long as they pay for it, and of course the price is a thousand times that of ordinary letters, but this is not worth mentioning for Faerun.
Write down everything that happened last night and send it to the Magic Guild in Philo City, and someone will naturally send it to Anthony's Mansion at that time.
After the matter is done, leave the reply address, and go to the convoy to meet, at this time it is better to be careful, who knows if the killer will take a risk, rush out in broad daylight, bump for a few days, just take the opportunity to rest.
Ciudad Philo, the Anthony family.
"Bensen, find out for me, who is so bold as to hire a killer to assassinate Faeron, and also, that scorpion organization, find out for me and raze them. β
Angry, Anthony dropped a few teacups in a row, this is a boutique made by a halfling, Anthony likes to use these teacups the most on weekdays, and today he doesn't care about anything.
"Master, I'm afraid this is not so easy, the scorpion organization is very deeply hidden, we can only find their peripheral organizations, there is no way to find his headquarters at all, and their trading methods also make it impossible for us to find buyers. β
Only Benson dared to say this in front of the angry Anthony, if he changed someone, he would definitely be burned to ashes by Anthony's magic.
Anthony, who had vented his emotions, also calmed down a little, knowing that Benson was telling the truth, but the assassination of Feren really made him angry, if the scorpion killer was in front of him, he would definitely use necromancy to detain their souls and make them regret living in the world.
"If you can't find out, you have to check, Fei Lun can't be assassinated in vain, as long as he finds a little clue, he can find out the buyer. β
Anthony looked at the magic letter sent by the Magic Guild in his hand, and still gave an order to strictly investigate.
"Yes, sir. β
"Also, go and send a letter to Wood and ask him to send someone to pick up Pheren, I'm worried that the buyer won't give up, and will continue to send killers, those mercenaries may not be able to protect Pheren, it's better to let Wood pick it up." β
Anthony couldn't wait to go out to escort Philon in person, but he knew that he might not be able to leave this Philo City, and since they attacked Fallon, they would definitely have to do something in this Philo, and he still needed to sit here.
"Yes, sir, don't need to inform Lord Glover, Master Faerun's trip may be delayed, affecting the registration time, tell Lord Glover in advance. β
Benson asked, thinking for a moment.
"No, I think Fei Lun will definitely be able to reach the imperial capital within the specified time, I know the character of this kid, I will not be stumped by these little insects, it is very similar to when I was young. β
Speaking of Feron, a smile will appear on the corner of Anthony's mouth, although Feron is a bit introverted, but the kind of stuffy head rushing forward is really similar to when he was young.
"Otherwise, how could Young Master Fei Lun appear in front of the master, this may be God's blessing. β
Benson also saw Anthony's doting on Fallen, and Phelen's personality also made Benson like this young master who suddenly appeared.
