Chapter 117: Latent
Ryder walked into the lobby of the infirmary with a bag of breakfast.
The early morning wind carried a little coolness, and Zhu Tian grabbed the thin quilt and covered it on his body.
Maybe it was because of the serious injury, Zhu Tian felt that his brain was not very clear, of course, it was more likely that he should have a low-grade fever.
There was no trace of fever on his forehead, but sometimes he was groggy and afraid of cold, Zhu Tian was obviously aware of the special condition of his body, which was why he was in a hurry to drink that bowl of unpalatable decoction.
Holding back his sleepiness, he ate some of the breakfast Ryder had bought.
After the black bread slid into his stomach along with the hot goat's milk, he finally regained a little refreshment.
Perhaps, it is himself who should recover his mental strength, the torture of the two days of serious injuries has made him depressed, and he has been in a weak state since he climbed back to the town of peace. That little Lori scared him just now, and overdrew the already small strength in his body.
Perhaps, taking advantage of the analgesic effect of that green potion, it is time to get some sleep.
Zhu Tian closed his eyes weakly, and before he could fall asleep, he heard Pique's voice. "There are a few mercenaries lurking outside the door. ”
In a trance, Zhu Tian opened his eyes and said impatiently: "You can just scare them away, I need to sleep for a while." ”
"Okay. ”
An imitation noble cane made of sandy wood silently slid along the wall......
Diagonally opposite the infirmary was a dark, damp alleyway, where five mercenaries were lurking.
A mercenary with a scar on his face said, "We're late, that black-faced guy just went out to buy breakfast, if we come early, we can stop him." ”
"Otherwise, we'll come back in the evening. Another mercenary suggested, "I heard that the horse thieves who harassed the town of peace have been driven away, and the Kingdom Guards who supported the town have also returned to the city of Joson. ”
"No!" Scar retorted, "Originally, I thought we would take turns guarding here, but listening to what Frank said was so evil, we had to be cautious, the five of us kept walking together, and that so-called 'magician' wouldn't have a chance to use a secret weapon to plot against us." ”
Hearing the idea of letting the scar man think, the other mercenaries had no objections, it was better for everyone to guard together than to take turns to guard, after all, the guy in the infirmary scared Frank away.
Yes, these mercenaries did not believe that Zhu Tian was a real magician, and judging from the descriptions of Frank and the other two sober mercenaries, the so-called "magician" should be a lame man with a wooden board on his leg, a lame man who was healing his wounds in the pharmacy.
Based on this alone, he had reason to suspect that the man was not a real magician! If he was able to stun the mercenary, he must have relied on a secret weapon to sneak attack.
"As long as we get back that magic crystal, we will immediately get out of this damn timberwolf mercenary group, with that magic crystal, we can go to the royal capital and sell it, and then recruit some samurai with rank medals to establish our own mercenary group, hehe! Timberwolf mercenary group! It's really laughing at me, what qualifications does an unpopular mercenary group have to call this name, and that damn leader, he actually gave the magic crystal as a gift! He didn't know how important that magic crystal was! The magicians in the royal capital are willing to throw out 500 gold coins to buy it!"
Five hundred gold coins! These mercenaries have never seen five hundred gold coins in their lives.
Gold coins always have a magic power that makes others crazy, and the other mercenaries glanced at each other, thinking to themselves, there are exactly five companions here, and each of them can get exactly a hundred gold coins!
In fact, the scar man who had been to the royal capital was panicked, the price of the magic crystal was far more than five hundred gold coins, he had seen at an auction that the final price of a soybean-sized magic crystal was two thousand gold coins!
The magic crystals they obtained in the Endless Forest were three or four times the size of soybeans!
Wouldn't that be able to auction for 5,000 gold coins?
While they were lurking in the alleyway, Peake secretly slipped into the alley with the nobleman's cane.
Pique was confident that he would be able to sneak up on the attack, but he didn't do it for a long time, he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the mercenaries to be left alone.
He didn't want the mercenaries to see that they were attacked by the "noble cane".
The sun had risen high in the east, and a ray of sunlight had shone into the alley, but Pique still hadn't waited for the opportunity he wanted.
An hour has passed, and these mercenaries have such good patience!
What he didn't know was that patience came from the magic of money.
Perhaps, it is time to create an opportunity for yourself.
Through the magic crystal, he began to talk to Ryder in the infirmary: "Ryder, there are five mercenaries in ambush in the alley diagonally opposite the infirmary, you come out to seduce them, and when they disperse, I will sneak attack." ”
In the medical hall, Ryder had not yet departed from the freshness brought to him by the magic crystal, and when he heard the words of Pique in the magic crystal, he immediately got up and walked out.
"Garu, look, he's out!" said one of the mercenaries in a deep and excited voice when he saw the door of the infirmary finally open.
When the scar man heard this, he immediately lifted the cloth bag on the ground. "When he comes, we'll knock him unconscious, and then take him away for interrogation!"
"Oh no, he didn't go in this direction. A mercenary said with a frown.
"Let's go!"
Scar Man and the rest of the mercenaries ran deeper into the alley, and soon, they came to a fork in the road.
"Divide two people over there, and the rest come with me," Scar Man instructed as he parted, "You two scout the direction of that black-faced man, and remember to even gesture to us!"
"Got it!"
The mercenaries were extremely efficient and quickly completed their respective tasks.
And this situation is exactly what Pique wants to see.
"Ryder, there's someone in the alley to your right, stay out of there!" Through the magic crystal, Peake heard a voice into Ryder's ears, "Keep left!
Pico took control of the nobleman's staff steadily, and quietly moved to a foot above the heads of the two horse thieves.
Suddenly, the noble cane smashed down vigorously, directly knocking over one of the mercenaries, and immediately after, the noble cane immediately swung out of thin air, knocking the other mercenary unconscious in the alleyway.
The scar man, who was more than ten meters away, looked at the corner of the street, and did not wait for the figure to appear.
Did you go in another direction?
He quickly looked back at the two mercenaries on the other side of the alley, only to find that the two mercenaries were lying there in order.
At this time, the other two mercenaries beside the scar man also looked back and saw the scene on the other side of the alleyway, and immediately shivered.
No way!
This alleyway is straight and narrow, and it is impossible to hide a fifth person except them!
So?
What knocked their companions unconscious?
An eerie atmosphere began to envelop their heads, forcing them to immediately rush out of the alleyway, stand in the sunlight, and shout for help.
"Don't mess around! cling to me!" Scar Man grabbed the other two mercenaries and said in a deep voice, "We can't be separated at this time!"
"Let's go back to back and get those two unlucky guys back!"
At this time, Scar Man didn't even think about running away, and his first thought turned out to be to save his companion.
The other two mercenaries suddenly felt a sense of trust with Scar Man.
"You look ahead, I'm covering you behind you, let's hurry up!"
"Good!"
The two mercenaries walked side by side and ran forward quickly.
The Scar Man quietly took a step back...... Unbeknownst to him, the "ghost" had crept over his head.
