The halls of the Adventurers' Guild are always bustling with activity until the early hours of the morning, and the more adventurers gather here in the evening.
When Austin and Velot arrived at dark, they were greeted by a crowd of black and oppressive people, a boiling noise, some of them came to hand in tasks, some came to inquire about the news, and of course there were those like the two of them who came specifically to spread the news.
Generally, veteran adventurers will sum up the experience that when it comes to whether or not a task can be done, ability is secondary, and news is the key. Therefore, whenever they have free time, they will run to this place that is even noisier than the vegetable market. But young people who have just come out of the house always can't understand it, thinking that they can solve all difficulties if they are strong, and only after many failures will they like it here.
Austin has been here very rarely and doesn't know much about the twists and turns, but he still has a few tips for spreading the news. He picked up the paladin, pretended to gossip, and asked, "Brother, I heard that you caught a robber outside the city today?"
"Of course. Velot puffed out his chest as if he was proud, so that the Tyr emblem on his chest stood out, "I'm a holy warrior of the god of justice, and I'm just a little robber, so I'm still handy." "
"Hehe, that's that, you look so magnificent, you don't look like an ordinary person, so can you reveal what kind of details the robber is? I heard that there have been a lot of robbers outside the city recently. Austin's voice grew lower and lower.
"Want to know?" said Vellot, who deliberately sold off.
"Of course, just tell me. With that, Austin tried to stuff Velot with a small bag of money.
Of course the Holy Samurai wouldn't want it, it was against the doctrine, he angrily pushed Austin away, "What are you doing, do you want to make me be deprived of my status as a Paladin? Hurry up and pick up your money and disappear in front of me, otherwise you're welcome!"
"You degassing, degassing.... Look at my brain, my hand! It's really underwhelming!" Austin really raised his right hand and slapped the back of his left hand fiercely in order to act like it. This kind of little farce-like development is really as they wish, attracting some attention, of course, more people who really care about the problem of bandits outside the city have long secretly pricked up their ears. Someone even helped Austin coax and said, "Holy Warrior, just talk about it." You see how sincerely he repented, and I guess His Majesty Tyr has forgiven him. "
Austin begged at the right time, "Paladin, just have mercy on me and tell me." In fact.. Actually, it was because my sister was also captured by those robbers, so I came to inquire when I heard that you had caught the robbers. "
"It turned out to be my sister who was taken away for herself. The holy warrior groaned slightly, finally nodded in agreement, and pulled Austin aside: "I can tell you, but the details of the robbers are very complicated, I advise you to forget about it after listening to it, otherwise I am afraid that you will take your life." The robber told the truth under my interrogation, he said that he was a cavalryman in the city, and that he was disguised as a robber to complete the task assigned by him!"
"What task?"
"Well, forget it, if you really want to know, tomorrow you will go to twenty miles west of the city, there is a small valley there, you will naturally know if you go, but I still advise you, don't go!"
The words of the holy warrior are not too understandable, but they successfully reveal the location of the small valley, which is enough. Feeling that the time was almost up, he and Austin exchanged a secret message and prepared to quietly leave the hall of the Adventurer's Guild. Now just wait for the news to ferment slowly, and they don't need to deliberately add to the fire...
"I said, Vilot, you're very talented! "
After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Austin laughed and patted the paladin, and praised him with all the words he could think of, after all, it was not easy to get an honest paladin to cooperate with the acting.
"Ahem... Don't say that, in fact, I didn't tell a lie, I just used the method you taught, picking up the truth and picking it up. Otherwise, if I really lie, His Majesty Tyr will definitely punish me. Velot was not comfortable with Austen's praise, he was determined to be a perfect paladin, and he did not want to do so if it were not for the difficulty of rushing to the enemy's lair to rescue the girl.
"Haha, let's go back and wait for the good news now, I think Irena should be in a hurry now, yes, let's go to Beauty and Wine again, I want to drink some more." Austen touched her belly, and the wine worm in it was hungry again.
Velot was in agreement with the resolution, he hadn't drunk it to his satisfaction last night, and in his opinion, a barrel of ale per man was about the same!
The two men hit it off, put their arms on each other's shoulders, and set off towards Granton Street together, and on the way Austen sang a song that was spread in Omni City with great interest. It was a cheerful song about a hero who overcame many enemies and finally rescued the girl he loved, and he hoped that he would be able to kill the enemy like a hero tomorrow and save his own Kelly.
Maybe it's because he sings really badly, the last time he sang in the dungeon, he was interrupted by Ritter, and this time he was interrupted again halfway through singing. In the dark alleyway on the side of the road, a strange girl's cry for help suddenly came out!
The paladin reacted quickly, and as soon as he heard the cry for help, he immediately drew his sword and rushed into the dark alleyway.
Austen hesitated, because he only had a few tricks left for his spells today, and if it was in a tunnel with almost no light, he would not only not be able to help, but would also put himself in danger.
However, his fears were quickly resolved by Velot, and the paladin used his divine magic to summon a 'celestial light', and the soft divine light suddenly illuminated the dark alley as bright as day.
He finally saw what was happening in the alley, a man with a wide black cloak and a fog obscuring his face so much that he couldn't see his face, using a strange black spike to fight with Velot. As for the girl who had just called for help, she was leaning against the wall with her hands and feet tied, struggling helplessly.
You don't have to think about it to know the situation, he and Velot happened to bump into the villains who attacked innocent girls one after another in Oni City, and his Kelly was probably captured by this person!
At the thought of Kelly, Austin's eyes instantly turned red, and he wanted to take down the murderer immediately and torture Kelly's whereabouts. However, none of his remaining tricks had any effect on the outcome of the battle, and if used indiscriminately, it could even cause chaos for Velote.
Austin could see that Velot didn't have the upper hand, the fierce battle during the day consumed too much of the paladin's physical strength, and if he continued to fight like this, the result would be ...
Strength, I still lack strength. At this moment, how much Austin hopes that his spell slot is full, whether it is the 'secondary flame shield' or the unknown weird missile spell, it can help the battle situation, as for the few spells he can still use, the 'Tired Touch' needs to be contacted to cast spells, the 'Flash Spell' also needs to be closer to have a miraculous effect, and the 'Mage's Hand' is okay to move a small object, but I want to use it to cause damage to a professional who is more than level 4...
But the enemy doesn't think so. When he saw the Austen spellcaster's outfit, his heart was already flustered. Fighting the holy warrior alone, he was confident that he would be able to win in the end and kill this holy warrior who dared to do something bad, but if he added a spellcaster who didn't know the level, he suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and he retreated.
This retreat was further expanded by Austin's delay, the longer the mage's cast time meant the higher the level of the spell, and he feared that Austin was secretly preparing a powerful spell. Anyway, he couldn't catch this girl, and he could catch something else in another place, so he couldn't take the risk of fighting to the death, so he cautiously chose to retreat. So he quickly found an opportunity to force Velot away, then turned and jumped, jumped to the wall of the alley, and disappeared into the night like a nimble black cat.
Austin and Velot looked at each other, neither of them could understand why the other party fled in fear, but this is a good thing, if they really keep fighting, they will be in danger!
