Chapter 757: Bait Tactics

After glancing at each other, both Junes and Isolt had solemn expressions.

"It's not peacetime, and no one should make such jokes." Isolt tossed the heavy book aside, and the coat rack that had come out of nowhere picked it up and stuffed it into the shelf.

Junes put his helmet back on his head, and commanded the guards outside, "Bring the messenger here, and we'll confirm the truth for ourselves." ”

"Order."

Immediately, the sound outside fell silent as the footsteps moved away.

"It's unlikely to be a joke, but maybe the other party's purpose isn't a joke." Compared to Aesop, who stayed in the room all year round to study magic and alchemy, Junes who galloped on the battlefield was obviously more mature and sophisticated, and when he encountered this situation, he was more thoughtful: "For example, the two of us who are now the heroes on duty are transferred away from the city wall or something." ”

"Do you mean that the other party may be a spy of the Abyss Demon?"

A chill flashed in Aesop's eyes.

His hometown was devastated by the demonic invasion of war, and almost all of it was destroyed.

Aesop's family, which was originally a minor nobleman, was torn apart in that war.

By the time Isolt, who had studied with a legendary mage, returned to his hometown, it was too late, and he had only dug up two highly decomposed corpses crawling with maggots in the ruins of his home......

It is precisely because of this that he will join the Salvation Army after returning to his teacher and becoming successful in his practice. And through Guò's elaborate chain of magic traps, he blows up a raid party of twelve archdemons and becomes the new hero.

"It's just a possibility. I'm just using an analogy. Junes scratched his helmet, making a screeching sound like scratching a chalkboard with his fingernails. Makes Isolt frown.

"All in all, we can't judge until that person comes."

"Hmph." Isolt sat down on the velvet chaise longue with an unhappy face, snorted softly, and did not answer.

After a while, the sound of the guards outside the door was heard.

However, to their surprise, the informant turned out to be a girl.

"My name is Raven. Morality. Paisley is a magic swordsman from outside Stein. ”

The informant first pulled up the corners of his skirt, revealing his leather pants underneath the skirt. He saluted the two heroes.

Her expression of neither humility nor arrogance made Junes quite fond of her.

Aesop, on the other hand, directly released a detection evil, but Raven was naturally not a spy from the abyss, so this detection type of magic had no effect at all.

But Aesop was not reassured by this, and instead used an unfinished detection lie.

This magic is only effective for humans, and depending on the recipient's magical powers, they will also have a certain degree of resistance to magic.

Before Raven entered the state of the Substitute of the Law, she didn't have too much magic power, so the magic still took effect.

But her previous words weren't a lie, so the magic didn't react at all.

"Magic was not resisted. It's not very high on magic.,It shouldn't be a demon or a subordinate who is bewitched by a demon.。 ”

Isolt narrowed her eyes and muttered softly in a voice that only she could hear.

Of course, Junes because of the armor increase. can also hear his words as if he was nothing, and there is not much doubt about the identity of the girl in front of him.

However, the necessary vigilance is still indispensable.

"Where did you live?"

He asked in a stern tone, in a deep voice.

This voice matched his nearly two-meter size. The oppressive force is very strong, and ordinary people can't help but be afraid. Tell the truth.

Still, Raven looked quite calm.

"I'm from the east of the continent, but now that there's fallen. In desperation, I made my way to the plains of Taliecid, where I found the two men on the wanted warrant in the centaur camp. ”

The place where Raven was before the crossing was indeed the Eastern Plains, and the Eastern Plains had indeed fallen in this era. In order to respond to Sivi's plan and participate in the final war, there was indeed no other way than to get to Taliecid. The statement that the two men on the wanted warrant were found in the centaur camp does not say when they met St. George, nor does it say that they do not know St. George, and while it gives the misleading impression that they were found near the centaur camp, there is really no lie in the literal sense.

So there is still no movement to detect the lie.

"Very well, your honesty has earned me respect."

After receiving Aesop's 'trust' statement, and seeing that he had withdrawn the detection of evil and the detection of lies, Junes said in a sullen voice.

"So now can you take us to them?"

"Of course you can, but aren't you going to give me the bounty until then?"

Raven stretched out her hand towards the big man, waiting for him to pay.

This embarrassed Junes a little - even though he was a hero, he didn't have much money on him.

"When we find those wanted criminals in the centaur camp, we'll give you the money."

Aesop immediately spoke out to solve the siege.

Like Junes, he didn't have much cash - but Junes spent it on the poor and on wine, while Aesop used it to buy precious books of magic.

Although it should be feasible to go to the treasury to collect the bounty now, the girl only saw St. George's gang in the centaur camp, and God knows when they will leave, so it is the right thing to do and set off quickly.

"In that case, let's ask the two heroes to make an IOU first."

Raven grinned, "Because people don't know when the wanted criminals will leave the centaur gathering place." If you excuse yourself and say that you didn't find anyone and didn't give you a bounty, wouldn't I lose a lot? Not only did he get nothing, but he also attracted the hatred of those wanted criminals in vain. It just so happened that there was paper and pen there. ”

If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of centaur gathering places around Stein City, and it took longer to find them one by one, Isolt felt that she would definitely blast this money-hungry girl out.

When did the promises of both heroes become so worthless......

In addition, that paper is the best material for writing magic scrolls, 'Tariant's Magic Guide Falling Paper', which currently costs 10 centimeters in Stein City for a gold coin!

While instructing the guard to inform the mages and let them use the mage's eyes to infiltrate the surrounding centaur camps and observe the whereabouts of St. George's group, Isolt and Junes could only find a useless piece of parchment and make an IOU on it......

A satisfied Raven tucked the IOU into her chest, and then gestured 'please' to the two unkind-faced heroes.

-Centaur Camp---

"Does that mean we need to do our best to get Stein's attention while keeping ourselves safe?"

After listening to Sivi's explanation, St. George said thoughtfully.

"It's a little different, but that's it."

Sivi looked at a pocket watch on his body and estimated the time: "It's almost here, let's get ready to leave." I enjoyed the banquet of the centaur clan, and I couldn't fight on other people's territory. ”

Sandler rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache: "I think you're already terrible on the assumption that you're sure to fight, and the heroes in Stein City aren't much weaker than us." No matter which one comes this time, I'm afraid that in a one-on-one situation, you are the only one who can win. ”

"You don't need to win, you just need to drag out the time, and the bigger the trouble, the better."

Sivi patted Sandler on the shoulder: "I'm optimistic about you!" ”

"I'd rather not be favored by you than this......" Sandler cried bitterly, "why did I agree to join your strange mercenary group in the first place?" ”

"Maybe it's because of my charisma."

Sivi replied casually.

He was met with Sandler's scoff.

When you have free time, you must teach this guy what etiquette is.

Sivi thought to herself.

And on the side of the maintenance of the bow. Sandler of the Bird of Paradise felt a chill on his back, and goosebumps stood up inexplicably......

"But Sandler is right, if it's just one or two heroes, we can still handle it, after all, the strongest heroes are only at the level of a great magician...... And in terms of combat power, it may not be as strong as when you were a great magician. But that's our limit, and even with Hasen, we're going to have a lot of pressure when we face three heroes. And once those legends in the city make a move, we won't even have the slightest chance. ”

St. George said to Sivi with a serious face.

Although he has always adhered to his knightly path, he still has an accurate understanding of his own strength, and he can't help but say with some concern: "And this is still under the condition that the other party does not let those magician troops coordinate and cast spells......

The strength of the individual magicians in the mage army is not very strong, but once the number increases, the power of coordinated spell casting is also very considerable.

"It's okay, you just let it go, if you can't stand it, retreat, you should know the few secret tunnels I left behind." Xiwei waved his hand: "If there is really a legend to make a move, I will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"So what is this guy going to do?" Sandler kicked Haysen, who was still a little drunk, and Hayson let out an indistinct whimper, waved his hand impatiently, as if chasing a fly, and asked Sivi, "You can't leave it here, can you?" ”

"Find a bucket and throw it down." Xiwei built yì road in a serious way. (To be continued......)
