Dawn of the Grey Tower

After leaving the Fairy Institute, Atta's thoughts gradually stabilized. She began to think like cheese, trying to analyze what kind of trouble Kailas and the others encountered.

Why did they attack them? Who is the target? What is the purpose?

The female swordsman naturally made a clear list of these confusions in her mind, and quickly flashed through several assumptions. Overall, she can only think of two general directions.

One, the other party is heading for Hedia. The princesses are all tempting targets no matter what age or place they are. They seem to be easier to control than male heirs, so they are more valuable to capture. This is not to say that women are more likely to give in, but that women are more likely to adopt gentle methods to combat violence and are more likely to empathize.

In the eyes of some bad conquerors, it is not easy to control a woman, as long as she is pregnant, give birth, and threaten her with her child will do no harm. Such an approach is dirty and inferior, but it is undeniable that it has been proven effective in history. Therefore, women with prominent status have always been easy targets.

But if there is such a person, why not hit her before Hedia didn't enter the City of Ten Thousand Dharma? If what they are plotting is Hedia's royal status, they shouldn't wait until she enters this secluded city of wizards before attacking.

Doing so will undoubtedly push yourself to the opposite of all the wizards in the entire city, because here, the identity of the little princess is first of all an apprentice and one of the spellcasters in this city.

Of course, if Atta knew that what attacked Kailas and them was not an assassin in the usual sense, but a disgusting transfiguration, then she would not have to consider this aspect.

But for the same reason, no matter who it is, it is unlikely that this attack will be made against Hedia for mundane reasons, so if this possibility is ruled out, the matter will go in another general direction. In other words, the opponent's goal is them.

When Cheese told the magical attack on the empty boat, Atta was there. She was surprised that she had experienced a life and death juncture unknowingly last night, and it was even stranger who would spend such a large capital to kill. The man on the empty boat.

Gray Robe once told her that although spells can kill an enemy thousands of miles away and are not restricted by geographic distance, it requires some kind of stronger connection, such as the body parts of the target, and at least the hair. Kind of stuff. Disturbing the flow of wind in an area obviously cannot be done in the same way, not to mention that there is no way to leave coordinates in the air, and traps cannot be established.

So those who sniped at them can only cast spells from the ground.

In this way, the energy consumed by the opponent must be huge, just like an arrow will lose its kinetic energy due to the distance it flies, and the range of influence of the spell will gradually decay due to the distance. Unless the energy to activate it is strong enough like a tsunami and strong enough to expand itself, spells of any genre will not be immune.

So even though the spell last night only disturbed the wind direction, its loss must be considerable. After paying such a heavy price, the deceased Kelly appeared again. Regardless of whether the person who killed Kelly and the caster were in the same camp, they should have died temporarily.

But they didn't. On the contrary, they brazenly launched another attack at this time, and the target was not themselves and the gray robe. The nature of this incident has changed as a result. Disrupting Kongzhou can be understood as hatred of Via. Killing Kelly can be understood as wanting to blame others so that Cheese and the others have no time to investigate the truth. But this time, this time it was really a naked provocation, an indiscriminate attack.

This is what really makes Atta angry. What are they trying to do? Didn’t they know that doing so would completely irritate the gray robe, causing him to temporarily put down the things in his hands and turn to...

"So this is the purpose? Lead us out of the research institute." Atta suddenly stopped, Russell continued to walk two steps before reacting, turning his head to look at the female swordsman.

The setting sun left only the last afterglow. It was the afterglow of the day and the beginning of the night. The things that were dormant in the dark were allowed to move freely and enjoy the light that was not dazzling for them.

"Five, no, seven." Atta whispered, pulling out Flacragg from her waist, her little chestnut hair fluttering in the breeze, and the sky-blue eyes were strangely cold.

"Seven what?" The red-haired spy frowned and wondered. He didn't understand why the other party stopped and drew his sword, but in the next moment, Atta rushed to him and pulled the man aside.

"Ding!" The blades interlaced, making the sound of gold and iron, splashing a few bright red sparks. The female swordsman held the sword in one hand, separated the opponent's stab, backhanded Russell's collar back, and reopened the distance.

"What's going on? What... Damn it, how come there are kobolds here?" Russell stood still and looked at the attacker just now, questioning mixed doubts and anger.

The so-called kobolds refer to small creatures with heads resembling lizards but covered with hair instead of scales. They have human-like limbs and torso, and a rat-like tail. In some local stories, kobolds are cave dwellers’ cousins, and both are tunnel creatures. The difference is that kobolds prefer moist caves under the soil, while cave dwellers prefer caves in the mountains.

The similarity between the two is that people actually know very little about them, not to say how mysterious they are, but kobolds are not like cave dwellers. They not only live in caves, but also dig caves into human farms. Steal grain, tools, and even clothes.

Once such a creature is discovered, naturally no one will try to understand it, and it will all aim to eliminate it. In countries where kobolds are more prevalent, ~www.readwn.com~, there are usually professional hunters who are responsible for cleaning the caves and ethnic groups of kobolds, but in most areas this work is still done by mercenaries and demon hunters who pass by by chance.

Farmers themselves can actually deal with small-scale kobolds, because these creatures have extremely low desire to attack and basically do not take the initiative to harm humans, but no matter what it is, as long as the number increases, it will naturally make people scared, not to mention Killing humanoid creatures is also uncomfortable, so it is usually left to others to complete.

Atta has dealt with the kobold problem during his travels. However, due to the large number of kobolds in that area, even the lord declared that they could not do anything. People could only abandon the cultivated farmland and move to the city. Therefore, Atta had only seen this kind of harmful and displaced creatures from a distance. Facing them with swordsmen.

Today, the female swordsman noticed the weirdness as soon as they fought, because no matter where the legend is, the kobold should not be so brave.

The kobold who was blocked by her was holding a short blade made of black iron. There was no separation between the blade and the handle, but a little cloth was wrapped around the handle for easy grasp.

"Be careful, they don't seem to plan to let us pass."
