Chapter 68 Rupert: Feel the power of the spirit guard!
"The guard who just warned him said that he saw wild creatures carrying torches and heading towards the town's mill." The old mayor's words were full of solemnity, "If they burn down the mill, the town's flour inventory will be wiped out.
It’s over, and we won’t be able to replenish it for several months. Most of the people’s rations will be in it this winter. I will try to organize enough defenders to defend, but the mobilization of large forces will take time.”
As he said that, Mayor Yeshan looked at Ren and the others.
"Everyone, I have the audacity to ask you to lend a helping hand to Hemer Town again and ask you to go and guard the mill. Just hold on until the reinforcements arrive, which will take about twenty minutes."
"What an honor."
Sodik said with a smile.
His caravan often takes this trade route, and it is a good choice to use this to establish a good relationship with Hemer Town.
"As long as the commission is enough, we'll have no problem."
Rupert had a simple and honest smile on his face. He turned to look at the halfling and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, do you mind if we make some extra money?"
Sodik glared at him angrily.
"Cuckoo!"
"Although it is late at night and there is no moonlight tonight, it can be said to be pitch black in the town, but both goblins and kobolds have dark vision of nearly 20 meters, so there is no need for torches to operate at night."
Such a bottle of potion costs at least 300 golden eagle coins, which is a considerable expense for him who is addicted to alcohol.
Losing 20 points of health in an instant, even a barbarian known for his strength can't hold it any longer.
The spirit guards guard the spirits of the wilderness and pursue the savage and ancient way of the wilderness.
"Spirit of the Wilderness, witness my ways!"
Before setting off, Rupert the Barbarian came to Ren's side and said in a loud voice:
"The wild spirit told me that you need my help."
After listening to her master's narration, the owl Xiaona hooted a few words in a low voice.
"Mr. Mayor, I guess there is a secret passage in this castle, right?"
"Don't worry, the ultimate fate of the wild creatures is to be driven back into the wilderness by us."
It is indeed a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Hearing what the girl said, the old mayor looked at Ren with even more admiration.
If you go to rescue, you will fall into the other party's trap. If you don't rescue, it is very likely that the whole town will be hungry next.
The blood-red aura flickered on Rupert, and then turned into a ribbon of light, connecting him with Ren.
Escobert laughed heartily.
After making up his mind, Mayor Yeshan began to make arrangements.
As he spoke, he put his thick right hand on Ren's shoulder and prayed solemnly:
"Mr. Mayor, those kobolds just surrounded the mill and did not burn it. Moreover, Xiaona also said that a small team quietly sneaked towards the direction of the castle."
"With the blessing of the magic flow of Soul Guard Rupert, you have recovered two first-level spell slots and one second-level spell slot."
A few seconds later, as the blood-red aura disappeared, Renn felt that his spell slot had been restored.
Mayor Yeshan laughed.
It's worth saving a little bit.
After pouring the potion into his stomach, Rupert regained some of his color and showed an honest smile.
After that, the spirit guard will receive force field damage 5 times the total number of rings.
Although Ren is a question, it is in an affirmative tone.
"Ren, do you want to..."
"wrong!"
"Miss Angelica, please leave it to your animal companion."
"She said she could work, but she had to have small fish to dry. She would do as much work as the small fish to dry..."
What kind of mercenary owl is this?
It doesn't matter even if they are engaged, whose granddaughter doesn't want such a handsome and powerful lover?
"I am willing to sacrifice my strength and blood and ask you to help my friend restore the dormant magic power in his body!"
Thinking of this, he glanced at the girl next to Ren.
"Okay, young man, you are right, let's do it your way!" (Negotiation successful)
"Thank you, boss."
Listening to the news transmitted by the owl through telepathy, Miss Ranger's face gradually became much more relaxed.
"Then Mr. Mayor, let's go down and prepare."
It's a help, but it's absolutely impossible for a halfling to post money inside.
Shawna: Why, the owl is not allowed to have some unique hobbies? You are only allowed to be greedy for Ren, and I am not allowed to be greedy for dried fish?
"Okay, okay, give it, absolutely give it, just make her feel at ease."
"But if we divide our forces to rescue them, we will definitely fall into the trap of these monsters! At that time, they will focus their attack on the castle. As long as we capture this place, it doesn't matter whether we burn the mill or not.
!”
"If you can't come back alive, then you won't be able to get this pension."
"There are enough supplies in the castle, use them if necessary. Also, if possible, I would very much like to know what we are fighting against and why. Therefore, we need a few high-status prisoners
.”
"Don't worry, sir, I will let those bastards know that the dwarves in Hemer Town are not easy to bully."
A difficult choice was placed in front of Mayor Yeshan.
"Since they don't need torches for lighting, what's the purpose of doing this?" A confident smile appeared on the corner of Ren's mouth, "It must be to tell us that they went to the mill to 'set fire'. Can you save it?"
Not saving? As long as we don’t save them, they may really burn down the mill.”
Well, it helped, but not completely...
The distance between the mill and the castle was not far, less than 200 meters, so it only took a minute for the girl to receive Shawna's frontline report from the mill.
Of course, there is a price to pay for borrowing power from the wilderness spirit.
He is worthy of being a man who can fool a giant dragon. His mental agility alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Escobert, you take two militiamen, act with Mr. Delit and others, and obey their command."
When Miss Ranger said these words, she felt ashamed of her animal companion.
Spirit Guard and Bloodfury Warrior are exclusive sub-classes of the Northland Howling Tribe Alliance.
Ren's reasons finally made Mayor Yeshan make up his mind.
"That's right, we're going to use the trick and let Rupert and Delit take a few militiamen and pretend that we are sneaking out of the secret passage and pretending to be rescuing the mill. When the other party launches an attack on the castle, we will launch attacks on both sides at the same time.
With all your strength, make a two-bread bun with cheese to impress these bastards. As long as we defeat this main force quickly, those who set fire to the mill will also flee after hearing the news."
The quick-thinking Sodik vaguely grasped the paladin's thoughts.
"If the mayor feels a little embarrassed, he can ask Xiaona to go to the mill to inquire about the situation first, and then we can discuss countermeasures."
"This..." The old mayor hesitated, "But if the other party really burns down the mill, even if the town is saved, we won't have much food to survive the winter in the next few months.
"
The knowledge of wild creatures that the girl learned from her ranger mentor came in handy at this time.
Mayor Yeshan gave Ren a grateful look and then looked at Angelica.
I never expected that Rupert, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would choose the barbarian profession of soul guard!
Renn instinctively sensed something was wrong and asked.
At level 6, the spirit guard can gain the special ability of magic flow. Through the spirit of the wilderness, it can guide the arcane energy in its body to other creatures. If the opponent has spell slots, a random number and level of spell slots will be restored randomly (
The total number of rings cannot exceed 6, and the number cannot exceed 3); if not, the opponent's health will be restored equal to 5 times the total number of rings.
Ren's tone gradually became serious.
The paladin took it naturally.
If he hadn't only had a grandson and no granddaughter, he would have wanted to ask the paladin if he was engaged.
"Mr. Mayor, let me ask a question. Did the warning guard really see that those kobolds and goblins were going to burn down the mill?"
As the blood-red light disappeared, Rupert's face suddenly turned pale, and his strong body became a little shaky.
As Ren said that, he stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and held them together fiercely.
"This..." the old mayor paused, a look of thought appeared on his face, and finally shook his head, "No, but if those guys go to the mill, it's impossible to steal the flour? They don't know how to use it.
Flour for cooking. Moreover, they went there with torches, so they must be going to burn the mill."
Sodik handed a bottle of potion for curing slander to Rupert's hand and curled his lips:
"The cost of this bottle of medicine will not be deducted from your salary. I will reimburse you."
Miss Youxia also noticed something was wrong.
Renn looked at Rupert with surprise in his eyes.
Ren said confidently.
Seeing the embarrassment on the old mayor's face, Ren actively suggested.
Angelica looked at Delit and Rupert who walked out of the room with the shield dwarf, and said to the old mayor.
For some reason, she always felt that when this kind old man looked at Ren, there seemed to be something indescribable in his eyes...
"Well, I wish you all good luck. May the lucky lady bless you. I'm waiting for your good news."
