Because he spent too much time on the sword spider, paan decided to take a night off. Let the over consumed mage recover, and then enter the examination room for the second level - Davao mine road after dawn.
But that doesn't mean everyone can have a safe sleep tonight. The village is in a semi deserted state, and many houses can no longer be used. We have to rely on our own skills. If we can't sleep in the houses still inhabited, we have to sleep in the open space in the village.
Many people try their best to get a good sleep. Some pay high prices, some cajole by charm, and even force.
Victor, who didn't have to sleep, wanted to squeeze with the people in the open space, but he changed his mind after seeing Vina flash into a cabin.
Neither half elf Ferri nor doctor Emma knows the identity of the employer. To find out who hired the "fake frost wolf", we have to start with Vina.
Outside the cabin sat a middle-aged man, who looked alertly at Victor as he approached slowly.
[can I stay here?] the Lich took out some silver coins to show that he would pay a lot of accommodation.
Before the other party could speak, a fat woman stepped out of the house and took the silver coins handed out by Victor with a smile on her face.
[excuse me.] when I walked into the wooden house in some times, I swept my crisp green eyes at random, with insight in my eyes.
The woman told her husband to borrow some ingredients next door. When she turned back, Victor was sitting in the only rocking chair in the small living room, reaching for the burning fire.
"Sit down for a while, just in time to have dinner with us." she rubbed her hands on the greasy apron and returned to the kitchen with a puzzled expression.
She always feels something wrong. But I can't say it for a moment.
With the smell of vegetables from the kitchen. The middle-aged man who borrowed food returned empty handed. He first glanced at the direction of the kitchen. Then he pulled over another low stool with a smile on his face and sat down. It is a long distance from the lodger.
[don't you come to the fire? It's summer, but the night in Taran is still very cold.] Victor seems to be inviting at his home.
"Hey ~ used to it." waved his hand. The man indicated that he had long been used to the cold climate at night in this area.
Soon. Women brought steaming meals from the humble kitchen. And greet Victor to dinner.
"Come. Try our special beans." the hospitable hostess handed the Lich a small wooden bowl full of beans. It took bean soup. Drink it up.
After the couple looked at each other, they began to eat and talk about some family affairs, from daily chores to neighborhood secrets. The meal lasted until the silver moonlight poured into the pages of the window.
After dinner, Victor sat down in front of the burning fireplace and rested in the room originally used to stack sundries before midnight.
"Are you asleep..."
In the dark, there was a low inaudible conversation.
"I put a big spoonful of sleeping incense. Even the ogre has to lie down."
"Be careful. It's said that this boy is a mage. The spirit of that kind of people is stronger than that of ordinary people."
"Don't worry, you won't wake up."
The footsteps moved closer and finally stood outside the utility room.
First, there was a crack and a little light. It was determined that after the person lying on the bed entered deep sleep, the man who originally gave people the feeling of Muna Dunhou jumped in at a fast speed inconsistent with his appearance.
A green dagger glowed in the dark and closed cabin. Holding his breath, he approached step by step and stabbed the slightly arched bedding on the humble wooden bed in the silent sneak attack.
No shouting, no counterattack.
Cook, who was holding a dagger, was not happy at all, because he knew that the hunter and prey exchanged identities in an instant.
Suddenly turned around, the door behind him opened a larger gap, and you could see his wife lying on the ground with her head down. A long hole was cut in her fat neck, and the blood had shed enough deadly weight on the old floor. The target who should have died of sleep stood unharmed by the door frame, and the staff in his hand flashed a faint light in the dark corridor.
"When did you find it?" cook whispered as the cold sweat slipped from his forehead. He needs to buy time for the arrival of the last accomplice.
[are you still with me? It's a pity that her skill can't alleviate your crisis.]
Before the mage finished writing, cook, who knew he had no way out, rushed over with a dagger.
Several wind blades sent out from the shimmering crystal stone and hit cook who was close. His body was deeply embedded in the wooden wall and made a loud noise in the silent night.
After listening carefully to the movements around him and finding that there was no sound, Victor went to the dead man and took out a carefully bound package from his arms. In addition to more than a dozen gold coins, there was also a portrait similar to his own God.
"What are you doing?" an angry cry came from outside the house. The priest paan led the four priests to question angrily. Behind him stood Vina, who had never been seen.
"Answer me!"
[it's just self-defense. Although the exam stipulates that you can't kill indiscriminately, it doesn't say you can't fight back?] throw out the money bag in your hand, and the Lich deliberately let the scroll with its own portrait and more than ten gold coins roll out.
Seeing things on the ground, paan's eyes first turned around Victor, and finally fell on Weina's face.
He went up the rotten ladder and pulled over cook's wife's body. In a low murmur, pa'an's hands glowed white and gently rubbed the fat woman as if she wanted to treat the dead.
Then he frowned and applied the same method to cook again.
The smell of blood is very heavy. The resentment of the dead is gathered on the couple who seem to be ordinary villagers. The mage is right. They are not good people.
"If you don't want to be removed from the list, remember to read the test rules." pa'an brushed away. Weina clenched her lips and didn't answer, but she didn't dare to stay and retreated with the priests.
The pale face was as expressionless as ever, but Weina had the illusion that he was laughing at his failure again.
The real wolf is coming
Thinking of the last conversation, Weina couldn't help shivering.
The real frost wolf, she doesn't want to match. But... You can't give up the generous remuneration offered by your employer. With that money, you can fly away, go to a place where no one knows, and spend your next life comfortably.
At the thought of commission, Weina suppressed her fear again.
Yes, this man must be killed, no matter what method.
As for the death of cook and his wife, she didn't feel superfluous. From the beginning, Vina pushed them into the role of cannon fodder. Who would have thought that Victor reversed the unfavorable situation for himself with only the painting she recognized for cook, the gold coin as a reward, and two words.
However, Weina never thought that what really worked was the divine skill of pa'an.
As a deity in the temple of life, he has an extraordinary perception and can distinguish between good and evil.
Cook and his wife had just died, and their evil thoughts were still around their bodies. Pa'an, who was aware of this situation, naturally knew that Victor was right. Although he hates Victor as an "evil mage" because of his career, he is also very concerned about villains like Vina.
At dawn, a large number of candidates stood at the entrance of the temporarily opened mine tunnel, waiting for the second test.
As it has been explained in advance that this is a test of individual viability, the little goodwill cultivated by teamwork dissipated in mutual hostility.
As soon as victor left the cabin, he heard voices from all around.
Due to the malicious spread of Weina, the news that she killed two villagers has spread among the candidates. Although the other party was a habitual robber, many people took the adventurer's exam for the first time, and they didn't really kill anyone. Victor's identity immediately changed from an advanced mage to an evil mage.
Although the divine officer was aware of Weina's behavior, he did not stop it. He was also waiting for the so-called evil mage to do evil for his own desire. Otherwise, as an examiner, he had no chance to do it.
The entrance to the mine is wide and sealed by two huge iron doors. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, we can vaguely see the grand occasion of cutting in that year.
Just standing outside the iron gate, you can also feel the cold inside. Many people began to worry about the temperature in the mine. Because it's summer, people are wearing thin clothes. They didn't expect to go deep into the ground with low temperature.
"The mine way extends in all directions and is as complex as a maze. If you don't want to get lost and get trapped, don't go to strange places." pa'an station gave instructions in his charming voice: "This pass tests your personal viability. It is limited to one day. After all candidates enter, I will close the door. No matter what happens, the door will not be opened until tomorrow. As a supervisor, I will close the mine with you. Don't think there is a large space, you can do whatever you want."
At this point, the divine officer took a special look at Victor. The Lich was habitually in a daze, so he could only explain the precautions.
Soon, the iron door was opened, and a fishy smell and musty smell came to the face, and people's concerns increased a lot.
Like the spider monster, Victor was the first.
Underground cave, dark, ancient and * *, the second level is simply set up for it. It is the best battlefield.
