Master Kenny's biggest hope now is to be discovered by Sha Duo and others in time, and then he can have a good sleep and regain his spell-casting ability, and he will become that powerful necromancer again.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he can get through and get shelter before the pursuers arrive.
…
At Xia Duo's temporary camp, under purposeful observation, Xia Duo penetrated the gaps in the forest and could already see a staggering figure walking in their direction.
Even closer, Shado could roughly tell that it was a middle-aged man, wearing the clothes of an ordinary businessman in Savile Town, and he seemed to be an ordinary person.
"Captain Gibb, go and respond and find out the other party's identity."
"yes."
The others also breathed a sigh of relief and put away their weapons one after another without waiting for Xia Duo's instructions. However, Xia Duo did not. He just covered the hand crossbow with his cloak, and the direction of the arrow was still pointing steadily at the middle-aged businessman.
Over there, Gibb had already picked up the man. After the two said a few words, Gibb shouted loudly, "Someone help, he is about to collapse!"
Everyone turned their attention to Xia Duo, waiting for his instructions. Xia Duo nodded, and the two team members rushed out, holding the visitor one on the left and one on the right, and brought him to the bonfire.
Chateau carefully observed the middle-aged man who looked like a businessman, comparing it with the merchant in Savile Town in his memory. As soon as he saw this man, Chateau's attention was focused on his fingers and neck.
Fair skin is not something ordinary businessmen can have.
The businessmen Xia Duo has met only live a slightly better life than ordinary people. When it comes to enjoyment, they have not reached that level! It is impossible for them to have such fair skin.
Looking at his face, although he looked honest and honest, Xia Duo always felt that something was wrong.
From the conversation between the middle-aged man and Gibb, Shado learned that this man claimed to be a leather merchant in Savile Town. He and his companions encountered orcs in the forest and got separated!
This made Xia Duo even more suspicious. Let’s not talk about how many orcs there were in the forest, but how did they happen to meet them? Let’s talk about how an ordinary person could escape from the orcs!
There were no details, just a vague word about leaving. Unexpectedly, Gibb believed him and even gave him his own rations.
The people around didn't show any signs of vigilance. They had just lifted their guard. Are they really so careless?
Sha Duo suddenly thought of Ava and was about to look for him, but to his surprise, Ava suddenly disappeared. Almost subconsciously, Sha Duo entered a state of concentration on casting spells.
The middle-aged man who looked like a businessman appeared in the magic network in front of him. He was no different from other people, and he had no magic aura on him. Xia Duo even wondered if he was being too suspicious.
At this moment, a voice like a gnat came from behind, "This person may be a mage. Look at the magic rune on the inside of his right wrist."
It's Ava!
Xia Duo felt a shiver in his heart, but his expression remained as usual. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the man's wrist, but Xia Duo did not notice the magic runes in Ava's mouth.
If this person is really a mage, as Ava said, he must have some ulterior motive. Thinking about a mage wearing ordinary businessman clothes and hiking in the forest on a cold day is problematic.
Xia Duo wanted to kill him with an arrow, but he was worried that this man had some unknown means. He tried to pull the magic net under his cloak, but he didn't want to produce any magic effect, and he just simply "pulled" the threads of the magic net.
continuously.
At such a close distance, if the opponent is a mage and happens to be in a spell-casting state, even an apprentice can detect what's going on with Sha Duo.
But this person did nothing and was still chatting with Gibb and the others. Of course, he might have noticed and pretended not to notice.
But as long as the opponent didn't move, Xia Duo still had to continue testing. This time he operated the [Mage's Hand] to add the remaining paralysis poison used to quench the poison into the water bag.
Xia Duo put away the crossbow under his cloak, opened the cloak and pulled off the water bag from his waist, and handed it to the middle-aged man who seemed to be a mage, "Drink some water, I keep it close to you, it's warm."
The only ones who could drink warm water here were probably Xia Duo and Dean, but at this moment Dean seemed to have been reminded and took off the water bag from his waist.
Xia Duo took a look and quickly handed the water bag in his hand to the middle-aged man [Interesting Novel www.youquxiaoshuo.com].
This middle-aged man was Master Kenny who came here on the run. At this time, he saw two apprentices rushing to bring warm water. Thinking of the necklace on his chest, he couldn't help but feel proud. He decided to give it to the old nun after he went back and obtained the location of the ruins.
It's a pleasure for you.
Kenny pulled out the cork and took a sip. It was a bit sweet, as if it had added sugar, which was just right for him to regain his strength. But the next second, Kenny's hand loosened and his body fell backwards.
Shado used [Mage's Hand] to use the water bag and shouted, "Aiwa, check it out!"
"Master Xia Duo, what on earth is going on?" Gibb felt that his brain was a little weak. He was just talking and laughing, but why did he suddenly fall out?
Seeing that Jibu just raised a question and did not stop him, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of answering the question, he motioned to Ava to check quickly.
"Xia Duo, what's wrong with him?" Dean was also a little confused. If he thought there was something wrong with this man, he shouldn't have brought him back just now.
"look--"
Xia Duo pointed at Ava who was busy at work. At this time, Ava had skillfully unbuttoned the middle-aged man's clothes. At this time, Kenny finally couldn't pretend anymore.
His eyes were full of anger, and he asked with some slurred speech: "What do you want to do!"
But most of his body was paralyzed, and he couldn't do anything, let alone cast spells. He could only watch helplessly as Ava found a small cloth bag as big as a palm from his body.
Shado had seen such a small bag in the hand of the golden-robed mage when he selected the mission area. At that time, it was such a small bag, and a lot of badges were poured out of it.
Dimensional bag!
Xia Duo entered a state of concentration on casting spells, and saw that the small bag in his hand was emitting a strong magical aura, but he had not noticed it before.
After taking another look, I saw the other things that Ava had found——
A necklace with an elf statue as a pendant has an extremely weak magical aura, and if it is carried around, it will even be obscured by the aura of the human body itself;
A metal scroll box, but it was empty;
There are two rings with unique shapes, one of which has a strong magical aura, while the other has none at all and seems to be just an ordinary ring.
But with the dimensional bag out, how could this ring really be that ordinary!
In addition to these things, there are also some bone fragments, gold coins, gems, pins and other sundries.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was almost naked and shivering in the cold wind, Xia Duo showed no mercy at all. He just covered him with his original clothes, drank another mouthful of paralyzing poison, and asked:
"Who are you? Are you a mage? What is the purpose of deliberately approaching us?"
