"Of course not, Elder Manya, the guide knight is being hunted, we are just lending a helping hand to rescue him."
Feeling the weak breathing of the boy on his shoulder, the elf bachelor was also a little embarrassed. This plan was completely thought up by Xio in a flash, but it had to be said that it had its effect, and they did help Ian escape the enemy's pursuit.
To some extent... the benefactor? Anfa is not sure, after all, they can guarantee that the boy will not be injured. But no one can say for sure.
——It seems that the Guide Knight needs to be given a few more points as compensation.
"In short, his physical injuries are not serious, but his internal organs were shaken by the enemy's source material and are slightly disordered. He needs to rest."
Thinking of this, Anfa also glanced sideways at Xiou, then shook his head and regained his rational and calm demeanor.
He said to the elders of the mountain people: "I originally planned to disguise myself as a tourist to find you, but this move unexpectedly allowed me to avoid danger. There is a mole in Nauman City who leaked the news. If I hadn't been on the ship from the beginning, I'm afraid
The name is now on the wanted list."
"Is there a mole? It is indeed a problem...but let's not talk about it for now. Let's take this new friend away, he needs our help."
Elder Manya was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "The risk is very high, but I can see that this child is a smart man... He will understand that we are helping him."
Xiou squatted aside and muttered: "It's normal to help him after seeing him injured. I don't know that he can't beat him. Who knows if he has any trump cards and potential to kill the pursuer with his backhand?
"
"What's more, he has dragon blood. This minor injury can only take a few days to recover. My mother taught me this..."
"That's enough. You're a dragon. How dare you compete with us? And what we need are friends, not just accomplices." Elder Manya stepped forward and hit Xio on the head with a bone staff, causing the other party to hold his head and cry:
"You will have to apologize to this new friend later."
"And now, take him to the sacrificial room and let him regain his consciousness."
Ian sat in on the whole thing.
——It seems that the plan was successful, and I didn’t expect that the Dragon Worship Cult would be so harmonious? You actually feel guilty for sitting back and watching me get hurt?
To be honest, when he heard this, the young man almost felt a little guilty in his heart - he had finally pretended to break the defense, but in the end, these people regarded it as his own mistake. It was really difficult to hold back.
At least it proves that these three people are not bad and are also good things.
Next, he was carried by Xio to the sacrificial room.
"Hey, I warned him a long time ago that someone was chasing him from behind. He didn't believe me. He was stabbed by someone. Can you blame me..."
On the way, the red-haired dragonborn was still muttering: "I was going to help, but he refused to let me go. I think this is asking for trouble. It's not my fault, right?"
"You think so?" He actually asked Ian.
——It really doesn’t count. You are right. I am asking for trouble.
And Ian also replied silently in his heart.
Soon, Xio put him in a quiet room at the foot of the mountain. The smell of medicine was very strong here. It should be the mountain people's clinic and pharmacy. Although the Dragonborn complained, he still helped Ian remove the broken medicine.
The unbearable alchemist armor even checked the wound on his back.
"Isn't it good that it will heal on its own?" Xio nodded with satisfaction: "Have a good rest - but let me tell you, your injury this time is really not a bad thing."
"The guardian of the misty tree sea in Canaan Moore, Master Oak, also came to Nauman City. He is very sensitive to the breath of all natural life...including dragon's blood."
"If you want to go to Nauman City, you will at least be detained for a period of time to find out your origin and whether it is related to us... That will not be comfortable."
"But if you are really related to us, you can hide your dragon blood and not be punished! Haha, do you think the human world is strange? They obviously understand this truth, but they just want to torment people who have nothing to do with it."
Xiou is indeed a talkative, or in other words, he has his own opinions on many things, but he rarely has anyone to talk to, so he will try to talk as much as possible whenever he has the opportunity.
"Hey, why is there a little fairy in your hair?"
Suddenly, Xio raised his voice and seemed very surprised: "What mother said is true, there will definitely be little goblins around the big goblin... But this is a bit too small... Hello? Do you understand me?"
The frost butterfly emerged from Ian's hair. It didn't sense that Ian was in danger at all, so it had been sleeping in a daze just now and only woke up now.
After realizing that someone was talking to it in front of it, it flapped its wings proudly: "Ta-da!"
"I don't understand... It's a pity that my mother doesn't let me keep pets, otherwise it would be nice to have someone to talk to."
After teasing Frost Butterfly, and after the little goblin went back to sleep, Xiou nagged the unconscious Ian alone for a while, and then left the sacrificial room with satisfaction.
And Ian counted the time and listened to the sounds around him.
Two hours later, there was a burst of noisy conversation in a remote place outside the sacrificial hall.
He wakes up and uses a silver chip to enhance his perception.
"The Marquis of Barton asked us twice why we attacked Double Tree Town. I explained to him that we did not attack. On the contrary, we rescued the guide knight. There were other people who attacked him and planned to frame us.
Come on - there's a mole on his side."
"Of course, the Marquis also said that it was the Dragon Worship Cult called by the guide knight himself. Whoever came from Canaan Moore was discovered. Since there is someone framed, they will definitely blame us... We have to eat this
Blame the blame and send the guide knight back as soon as possible. In return, he will secretly release the fools who were caught. If we can find out who is the mole on our side and who attacked the guide
The knight was their mole, so he let everyone go."
This was the voice of Elder Manya, and Xiou asked suspiciously: "Why should we let it go? There is a mole in Canaan Moore's team and it has caused such a big trouble. Both the Candle Holder and Master Oak have
I ran over, I wish all these people were dead, otherwise my mother would waste her time on acting..."
Anfa coughed: "Be careful, I am also from Canaan Moore. As for who the inner ghost is, I already know it. Fortunately, they don't know that the whole boat is a bait, and the real thing is
On my body."
——The Marquis of Barton is related to the Dragon Worship Cult?
When he heard this, Ian was not surprised, he was not surprised at all.
Even far more than the Marquis of Patton.
For example, Mr. Yinfang's attitude towards the Dragon Worship Cult vaguely foreshadowed this possibility - it was a dragon that 'intended to attack' Nauman City. In the end, the old man just thought that the sewers had been blasted and the smell in the city was not fresh, so he
Run to Twintree Town?
Even if he didn't know the truth behind it, he definitely knew that the local Dragon Worship Cult would never actually carry out any attack.
According to what the other party said, he had an entanglement with the Dragon Worship Cult in the past... Ian even suspected that when the chamber of commerce that Mr. Yinfang worked for was disbanded, he might not have collectively joined the Dragon Worship Cult, and the reason why he returned to Nanling was to become a big businessman.
, receiving courtesy from all the nobles must be due to this factor.
If nothing else, the recent chaos in Nauman City was all a result of discussions between the Dragon Cult and Marquis Barton.
Anfa and Xiou were not at all nervous about the drama in Nauman City. Anfa even ran directly to Shuangshu Town after seeing the dragon shadow, which is completely explainable... They obviously knew about this 'discussed plan', so
That’s why I have such a leisurely mood.
And Xio's mother should be the dragon that flew out of the Baisen Mountains.
Then here comes the problem.
They teamed up to fake such a tense atmosphere to confuse or deceive someone?
"The Imperial Capital...Canaan Moore...all the forces that are not locals."
"In other words, the 'inner ghost' who has infiltrated into the Nanling Noble-Ascended Group!"
