Both rabbits and foxes have more than one nest, let alone the home of an adventurer who has accumulated a lot of wealth?
When the red lion Batom was alive, he used Sands Town as an escape route for the adventurer's home.
Cole also followed Bottom's previous plan and took refuge in Sands Town when he encountered danger. Sands Town did not break its promise, and they indeed provided very good shelter for Cole who was in trouble.
Of course, Wiltok didn't know the inside story.
What Cole can't understand is, as a former client, why should Max worry about Sands Town?
"You know, right? The army of Luoye City is arresting people from the Adventurer's House everywhere. We don't dare to show up at all, so we can't wait for you at the agreed place... But we have asked Carol, if you arrive at Sands Town,
I’ll bring you here.”
Dr. Cole looked at Maddie reproachfully and asked, "Why do you doubt them?"
Maddie rolled her eyes. If Christine hadn't reminded them, they would have crashed into Sands Town and left their fate in the hands of others.
This is not to say that Carol in Sands Town must have bad intentions to annex the Adventurer's House, but that they go to Carol directly, which means exposing their identity, and they will definitely lose part of the initiative when their identity is exposed.
To put it simply, Carol can help them selflessly or betray them quietly. How and when she does it depends on her own ideas.
They couldn't bear the risk, so they had to act in secret.
"People's thoughts can change. You know that the army of Luoye City is arresting our people, but do you know what Carol is thinking?" Maddie asked.
Dr. Cole wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Victor: "We have limited time, so don't engage in these unnecessary arguments."
"First of all, Jinsha Town is close to the battlefield and is not safe here. Of course it is true that Carol took the risk to take you in. But if she allows you to leave Jinsha Town at any time, we will believe that she is a true friend."
"Secondly, we have to find a way to go to Echo Town to rescue our imprisoned companions. You can stay in Jinsha Town temporarily and be prepared to evacuate. You cannot let the people in Jinsha Town know in advance."
"Last point, if I find a chance, I will kill that bitch Clark! Even in order not to implicate Sands Town, you can't tell Carol anything about us."
With that said, Victor made a silent gesture to stop the increasingly anxious Cole from persuading him, and took out a document and a small bottle of life distortion potion from his satchel and placed them gently on the table.
"We now own a plantation, in a very remote place, nominally under the jurisdiction of the Eagle's Nest City. I can guarantee that this is not the plantation arranged by the Red Lion Bottom in advance, and no one except me knows its specific location, so
That plantation is safe and can serve as our retreat."
Cole and his three maids all stared directly at the small bottle of life distortion potion, turning a blind eye to the plantation's property rights documents.
"Vertok... I knew that this strange potion must have been obtained by you. Only you understand my weakness... Haha, can you believe it? The potion is alive! It represents a great change,
A revolution in secret medicine!" Cole tightly grasped the small bottle filled with potion, his expression becoming more and more excited.
At this time, Christine said lightly: "Keep quiet."
Cole was immediately stunned. Up to now, he and his private slave girls are still affected by the natural charm. Depending on their willpower, it may take several hours to return to normal. Before that, Christine can
They give simple orders that are not too outrageous.
Christine ordered them to keep quiet. She neither threatened their personal safety nor harmed their interests. She only regarded it as a necessary reminder and would follow this order subconsciously.
"Yes, I was so excited just now." Cole looked at Christine with grateful eyes and nodded to her to thank her, obviously trying to please her.
He turned to Victor and asked: "Do you still have this potion? If there are more, I think I can prepare a brand new secret potion, which may allow John and the others to grow healthy limbs again."
"What happened to John and the others?" Maddie asked concerned.
Cole said solemnly: "That day, we ran away separately from you. The next morning, orcs and barbarians caught up with our team. We fought with the pursuers in the snow. John killed three orc fighters alone.
, he himself was besieged by barbarian fighters and lost his left leg and right arm. After John fell, we were even less able to stop the enemy's attack. More than 20 young instructors were dead and maimed. It seemed that everyone was about to be finished.
Suddenly, a shadow lurker rushed over, chasing the orcs and barbarian warriors."
"We took advantage of the chaos and fled the scene. Then I gave the wounded some simple treatment, and then rushed to Jinsha Town with only 18 people left."
"At that time, Piru, the shopkeeper, and the others had already arrived at Jinsha Town in advance. They were not injured, and they helped me collect a dozen barbarian female slaves. But among our group, 9 people died on the way, and 7 others became disabled.
"
John is a mixed race who serves as the chief instructor at the training camp in Braun Town. He has no awakening expertise, but has mastered the Heart of the Mirror. The female warriors of the Hemer tribe fought over him to become a life sacrifice partner. This shows the potential of instructor John.
His talent is favored by the female warriors of the Hemer tribe.
John did not have the Awakening Specialty. That was because he refused to use Dr. Cole's secret medicine and wanted to take a different path from that of a professional as a hybrid.
In fact, this is not John's idea alone. When high-level career paths are monopolized by famous families, the low-level and mid-level professionals in the Adventurer's House will also fantasize about other promotion paths. By Adventurer
John, who was raised in a family home, was influenced by this sentiment and was unwilling to stop at a fourth-level career. He was determined to find a new path.
Bottom, Cole and others have expectations for John's practice and have given various supports. But John's real hope comes from the secret method of source blood provided by Victor.
Because of this relationship, John has always maintained a good personal relationship with Victor.
Among so many mixed-race people, Victor valued John the most and thought he was worth investing in.
John is now a cripple with missing arms and legs, but that is not a problem. The alchemy snake touch can repair the missing limbs, but there is no need to share such a large amount of favor with others. Victor plans to find an opportunity to help John personally
There is no need to tell Dr. Cole in advance when treating a disability.
"I stress again, Sands Town is not safe! If you think about Carol, don't tell her about your meeting with us... We will continue to keep in touch these two days."
Victor took the lead to walk out. When he and Christine approached the door, their figures disappeared suddenly, as mysteriously as when they came.
McGrady fell at the end, and before entering Todlin's invisibility field, he turned to the stunned Cole and said: "Hey, old man, if you see our capabilities, then you have to believe what Victor just said.
These few things are all no joke... Frankly speaking, we have had an adventure, and I will tell you about it when the time is right."
Victor relied on the invisibility power of the alchemical demon to come and go without a trace, and secretly met with Dr. Cole to reassure him first that he no longer had to be suspicious, and that he had not alerted anyone in Sands Town yet.
In subsequent contacts, it became clear that there were more than thirty mixed-race survivors in Jinsha Town, including 13 training camp instructors, all young professionals in their twenties; and then there were those working at the Adventurer's House Hotel
There are 25 shop assistants, including Piru, whom Victor is familiar with. They are all underage. Due to their good talents, they were selected at a very young age and trained according to the core members of the third generation of the Adventurer House. The rest are science and technology.
You, his personal favorite female slave, and a dozen barbarian female slaves.
With so many people and several disabled people, Victor couldn't think of a way to help them evacuate for a while. At present, he can only let them stay in Jinsha Town and wait and see how the situation develops before considering how to help them.
Escape from danger.
However, from a utilitarian point of view, these talents are the greatest wealth of the Adventurer's House, and their value is much higher than the dozens of mixed-race awakened people suffering in Echo Town.
Therefore, most people tried their best to persuade Victor to arrange the survivors here first. In the end, Victor and everyone discussed and decided to let Maddie stay in Sands Town. The old scout has rich experience in wild escape and can adapt to changes in circumstances.
He is also very capable and can plan Cole and others' plan to evacuate Sands Town.
Victor asked Stephanie and Transparent Todlin to stay and assist Maddie.
The role of the Alchemy Demon Todlin is self-evident. As for Stephanie, there is no use for her to go to Echo Town. It is safer to stay in Sands Town, and this little girl is very smart, so it would be good to give her teacher some tricks.
Then, Christine appeared as the deputy leader of the adventure group and negotiated with Mrs. Carol, telling her that the Thunderstorm Adventure Group was about to go to Echo Town to take on a mission to make money, and asked her to help write a letter of introduction.
The natural charm of the vampire succubus still has some effect. Mrs. Carol has a good impression of Christine. After collecting the fee of 20 gold towers, she readily agreed and submitted a letter to the person in charge of the Adventurer's Guild on the front line.
Wrote a letter of introduction.
With the letter of introduction issued by the mayor's wife of Sands Town, the Thunderstorm Adventure Group can openly enter Echo Town without having to show those forged certification documents.
Two days later, Victor and his party left Sands Town. Maddie, Stephanie and Todlin stayed, but they moved to a small house with a cheaper rent.
Before an adventure group carries out a dangerous war mission, there should always be one or two people left in charge of liaison and aftermath, to prevent group members' pensions from being embezzled by outsiders.
This is common practice and will not arouse suspicion from others.
The adventurer Hansen "happened" to go to Echo Town for some business and asked to go with Victor and the others to prevent him from getting into danger while traveling alone. This is also the usual practice for adventurers.
The location of Jinsha Town is indeed remote. Assuming that Godore Fortress is the center, Echo Town is equivalent to her left guard, and Iron Helmet Town is her right guard. Jinsha Town is on the ridge 50 kilometers away to the right of Iron Helmet Town.
, she really has no way to join the Godore Fortress defense system, and naturally there will be no legionnaires patrolling the roads.
Victor and the others easily found an opportunity, left the road, and made a large circle to arrive at the meeting place agreed between the cultists and the barbarians.
There is a small waterfall formed by a stream falling into the valley.
Victor looked down and found that the valley below was lush and wooded, and could hide an army. However, the drop from the ridge to the valley floor was at least 300 meters, and the mountain walls were steep and precipitous. Although there were thorns, vines and protruding rocks to provide shelter, Victor looked down.
People use strength to climb, but the overall environment is high and dangerous. Soldiers who are not physically strong will inevitably slip and fall, which will also harm their comrades below.
This is a natural danger that the army cannot climb. Only the best of the best can climb from the bottom of the valley to the top of the cliff.
The night wind howled, bringing with it a chilling chill. Victor secretly thought that such a remote valley had been scouted by half-orc invaders, but the half-elf commander of Luoye City did not expect to send people to monitor the surrounding area of Jinsha Town.
The cliff is steep. It can be seen that the orcs are very eager to win this war.
Waiting until midnight, two tough barbarian fighters climbed up the ridge with quick movements. They were more than two meters tall, with solid muscles and strong bodies. They only wore a pair of animal bone shoulder armor to expose their brown-red skin, and hung from their belts.
The throwing axe, garden shield and machete are all stuck on the back.
At Victor's reminder, cultist Hasen also saw the two barbarian warriors. He hurriedly lit the oil-soaked torch with a flint and waved it to the barbarian warriors according to the pre-agreed method to show his identity.
Victor and the followers also came out of the darkness, each lit a torch, and greeted each other openly.
The two barbarian warriors were both ferocious barbarians with keen intuition. They already sensed danger down there. Since they had a mission to shoulder, they had no choice but to climb up. Seeing a dozen half-elf professionals showing their bodies, they relaxed.
He kept a vigilant tone and approached Hasen.
A barbarian fighter first looked at Hansen's appearance and features, and then asked in fluent Alliance language: "Half-elf, you violated the agreement and did not come alone."
Hansen had already become Christine's puppet, but his will was twisted, while his intelligence and personality were not affected. He immediately said: "No one told me that I had to come alone. What's more, you came too
More than one. If you get the thing and then kill me to silence me, wouldn't I be stupid?"
"What do you think? Barbarian plunderers..."
The barbarian warriors looked at each other. They had indeed received orders to kill each other, but in the current situation it was good if they could save their own lives.
"You half-elves, if you don't keep your word, I..."
"Shut up, barbarian!"
Christine took a few steps forward, passed the cultist Hansen, and said into the woods: "Let the person who can really make the decision come out and talk to me!"
The barbarian warriors looked at the unusually beautiful half-elf female in astonishment, completely unaware that they were being continuously affected by the natural charm.
A moment later, a rustling sound came from the darkness not far away, and a half-orc female shaman broke through the thorn bushes and walked over alone.
She held two obsidian daggers, her bright red eyes stared at Christine, and her half-crouching posture was like a female leopard ready to attack.
"Half-elf, you broke the agreement... I don't believe in half-elves." The half-orc female shaman said in blunt alliance language.
Compared with the nervousness of the half-orc female shaman, Christine appeared very relaxed. She put one hand on her hip, smiled slightly, and ordered to the cultist Hansen: "Send the things over, then cut off your own head and show it to the guests."
We express my sincerity.”
Hansen nodded, without taking any precautions, and just strode over and handed the fortress defense map to a barbarian warrior, but the other party didn't take it. So, he threw the city defense map at the feet of the orc shaman.
The female shaman lowered her head and then looked up, and suddenly she found that the half-elf was holding her hair in one hand, and with the other hand, she was aiming at her neck with a sharp horn dagger and cutting it severely.
The cultist used this knife with great force, cutting off the cervical vertebrae and neatly cutting off his own head.
The vampire banshee controlled the puppet to commit suicide. The puppet had neither fear of death nor much pain. However, the headless corpse grabbed its own head and fell forward, just in front of the half-orc female shaman. The blood was still there.
It spurted out from the wound.
Such a scene was so terrifying that the two barbarian warriors and the orc female shaman were all frightened.
At this time, the vampire succubus Christine was very close to them.
First, collect the soul fire of the puppet, and then the vampire banshee directly casts violent charm on the barbarian warrior and female shaman!
A few minutes later, she walked up to Victor with the three slaves she had just acquired, and said as if claiming credit: "Great master, you can discuss with them now how they can cooperate with your subsequent plans."
Victor rubbed his forehead and asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"
Christine could only explain: "The orcs and barbarians need the city defense map, and they need Hansen's head to return to life. So, we can only do this..."
