The effect of the 'Celestial Light' slowly dissipated, and the alley returned to darkness, successfully 'forcing back' the wicked Austin and Velot, only then did they remember that there was a girl who was tied hand and foot and needed to be rescued, and hurriedly ran over, and the paladin carried her out of the alley, and then untied her.
Strangely, the poor girl never said a word, not even thanking her. Hasn't she recovered from the horror of being almost kidnapped?
Velote kindly shook her hand and was about to comfort her, but at this moment, the situation changed suddenly, and the seemingly weak girl easily shook off the paladin's powerful big hand and raised her foot to kick him in the stomach. What was even more surprising was that Velot was kicked to the ground by her, covering her abdomen in pain.
How much strength must she have to kick a strong paladin down, although it was mainly because of the surprise, Velote was defenseless, but she was definitely not an ordinary person!
In Austin's stunned, the girl stood up, rubbed her reddened wrist that was strangled by hemp rope, and angrily pointed at him and Velote and scolded: "Damn, what kind of hero are you fooling, ruining the good deeds of the old lady, do you know how much effort the old lady spent to bring that person over in order to act in this play?"
Austen and the Paladin both felt that their brains were a little insufficient, and they didn't understand what she meant. Moreover, the girl in front of her is not very old, although her face is very beautiful, but she still looks young, and she even calls herself 'old lady'? Even the prostitutes standing on the street rarely use such vulgar words, and she actually uses them very skillfully.
"Didn't you call for help yourself?" Austin retorted, risking their lives to save her.
"You are stupid, a delicate girl has been kidnapped by bad people, if you don't call for help twice, who will believe it! Just go your way, meddle ... things!" the girl said a lot of words angrily.
Austin wanted to push back like this, but at the thought of being kicked off by the angry girl, he closed his mouth in amusement and let her go. At this time, he also wanted to understand what the girl's so-called acting was about, and it was estimated that she, like himself, was also investigating the disappearance of the girl, but she was very bold, and she pretended to be an ordinary girl, specifically attracting people to arrest her, maybe she wanted to be taken directly to the place where the missing girls were held in this way.
When she said enough, Austin asked, "You also took the assignment?"
"Oh, you're talking about the Adventurer's Guild's mission, yes, I took it!" the girl looked up, pretending to be arrogant, and then asked with disdain, "You two took it too?"
It turned out that he had met an adventurer who was also on a mission, and Austin suddenly realized, and then turned his head to look at the paladin who had already recovered his strength and stood up against the wall.
Velote understood the meaning in his eyes, knew that he had taken a fancy to the girl's strength, and wanted to pull her into the gang to do it together, after all, one more person would have more strength.
"Girl, we also took on this task, you see we are all trying to rescue the captured girls as soon as possible, why don't we do it together? The Paladin himself had this idea, so he opened this mouth for Austin.
"I didn't take the task to save them, I was for that expensive reward! You want me to share the payment with you, no way, the old lady can do this task alone!" When it comes to money, the girl's mood is immediately much better, and her eyes are shining, and she is not ashamed of being greedy for money, but is proud of it.
For the sake of payment? Austin looked at the paladin again and asked for the opinion of the paladin, of course he could not pay himself, as long as he could save Kelly! But he did not know whether Velot needed this reward or not. Although the paladins could not own property, they could make money, and they could spend the money they received normally, whether it was to buy equipment or distribute it to the poor.
The girl saw that the two of them were discussing, and deliberately turned her head away, so let them go together. In fact, she hasn't left yet, and she also has plans to cooperate with them, a holy warrior, a spellcaster, and they are all people with a strong sense of justice, and they are trustworthy collaborators. Now it depends on how they will distribute the payment, as long as it is not less than one-third, she is willing to agree.
Velot is undoubtedly a qualified paladin, and he is willing to take on this 'search for missing girls' mission, of course, the purpose of which is to rescue those innocent and poor girls, and punish the wicked who manipulated the matter, as for money, it is also dispensable. So he quickly came to an agreement with Austin and decided to give up the pay.
"Girl, we have discussed the reward of 2,000 gold coins, and we can give it all to you without any of them. However, in the course of the operation, you must fully cooperate with us, obey our commands, and not act arbitrarily. On his behalf, Velot told the girl the outcome of the discussion.
"What, give it all to me?" the girl couldn't believe what she was hearing, so she asked again, "Are you sure?"
Paladins don't want to reciprocate good deeds, she believes!But can a spellcaster have such noble qualities? She wondered if Austen had some other secret to give up his reward so generously.
"You heard me right, he and I are just here to save people, and I won't tell you that one of the girls who was taken away was my lover. Austen replied to the girl very seriously.
I see, the girl said that she understood, it was the power of love, no wonder he didn't want to reciprocate, she couldn't help but cast a few more glances at Austin, wanting to reacquaint herself with this emotional spellcaster.
"Let me introduce myself, Kalianlu, 20 years old, a level 4 swordsman, good at using short swords, and flexible in his fighting style. After she finished speaking, she took out a sharp blade from her bosom, which was only a dozen centimeters longer than the dagger, and held it up to show them, indicating that it was her weapon.
20 years old? Austin and Velot couldn't help but stare at her, that tender and green face, that undulating body, really 20 years old?
Of course, Ka Lianlu understood what they meant, and immediately put her hands around her chest, protected her important parts, and scolded: "Look at what, the old lady is 20 years old, and the old lady is not big breasts, and then look at it and gouge out your eyes." "
Ahem, Austin quickly withdrew his gaze and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." "
Velote also blushed, tilted his head to the side, and did not dare to look again.
"Hmph, hurry up and report your name and situation. Karen, delu, asked them, and lowered her hand from her chest. After all, they are already companions, and being too hostile to each other is not conducive to cooperation.
"Velot, 23 years old, a level 4 paladin, good at defense and long swords. The paladin learned her way and gave a brief introduction.
"Austin, a level 1 special mage. "Austen has learned a good thing, but he is still too little proficient in spells to know which area he is good at.
"You're only level 1?" Karinlu made no secret of her disdain, her character was like this, she never hid her words.
Austin touched his head awkwardly and smiled, and admitted calmly: "That's right, it's really level 1, and it's only been two days since I woke up." "
"Can you do it then? a few spell slots, don't hold back when the time comes. Karenlu's head lifted involuntarily, she was used to treating the weak like this, like many experienced adventurers.
The feeling of being looked down upon is not comfortable, Austin frowned, but he didn't want to argue, anyway, the explanation is not as convincing as the facts, and there will be a chance to show it tomorrow!
At this time, Velote hurriedly jumped between the two of them, and said: "Kalianlu, don't say that, in many cases, powerful spells are not as effective as a suitable low-level spell, I have fought side by side with him, he is very talented, especially in terms of timing, he is stronger than some official mages above level 3 I have seen." "
"Really, forget it, the old lady doesn't care about this. Although Kalianlu is still a little skeptical, she doesn't want to talk too much, level 1 is level 1, the casters of level 1 are more expensive than her in this year!
When the mood finally eased, Austin shrugged and said what he and Velot had planned for tomorrow. "Kalianlu, we are going to leave tomorrow at noon, and our destination is a valley twenty miles west of the city, where they should hide and hold the captured girls. "
"Why don't you go early?"
"Because there are a lot of enemies, it is definitely not something that a few of us can deal with head-on, so we have released the news in the Adventurer's Guild, and I believe that there must be some people who are tempted by the bounty to go there early. "
"..." Kalian showed disdain, and finally spit out a sentence: "What a sinister little special mage!"
But she didn't know that this was the idea that Velot had come up with first...
