Mercenaries and Adventurers

Claw Knight rolled over and got in from the shooting hole on the top of the arrow tower.

This time, he didn't hide his movements, so the sound of his clothes scraping off the edge of the building and his feet landing heavily on the wooden floor of the top floor immediately attracted the attention of the guards on guard in the arrow tower.

This guard was not the one Kiel saw last night. Of course, it was impossible to keep watch at night and then keep watch during the day. That would be a terrible labor. The guard just happened to take a wheatbread roll and chewed it in his mouth when Knight Crowe turned in.

When he saw someone suddenly appearing and turning in from the outside, he didn't react in his head, and he looked at the observation window behind him in a daze. How did this guy come out.

Can it fly?

With such doubts, the guard immediately punched Klaus, who rushed to his eyes, unconscious. Before falling to the ground, he couldn't even issue a half-word warning.

"Overestimated them."

Knight Crowe shook his head, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the negligence of these guards. After all, he hadn't seen anything before, so naturally he wouldn't have the ability to be vigilant against people like him.

If there were knight lords in the local area, the result would definitely be different.

After all, most knights are very aware of how supermodel their own abilities are to ordinary people. Many things that ordinary people find incredible, they can do as knights.

Things like this now.

After Klaue Knight knocked down the careless guard, he didn't deal with the magic ballista beside him first, but instead walked quickly to the stairs in the room, walking down quickly.

-

In the arrow tower on the next floor, three guards who had just rotated into duty were talking and laughing while eating together.

In the past two years, because the harpies no longer asked for trouble to attack Weifeng Town, the guarding work of the Arrow Tower, which had been very dangerous before, has changed, and has become the favorite lazy work of the guards.

Although the Arrow Tower is a bit boring and lonely, the jobs will be rotated anyway. Is it wrong to come here for a day and get more wages?

Moreover, it is easier to defend the magic ballista arrow tower than the other three arrow towers.

Because many parts of the magic ballista are integrated on the body of the ballista, it only needs to be wiped with a dry cloth for maintenance.

At most, it is enough to apply some animal oil to the base rotation mechanism every day, wipe it, and test the operation.

The energy supply parts of the ballista do not need to be replaced for a year. When replacing them, it is enough to ensure that the magic power supply parts for energy supply are not lost when the chamber of commerce comes.

So this job is easy and pays a lot, and there is no danger, which really makes the guards like it.

Therefore, when Knight Crowe walked down the stairs quickly, the three guards on this floor were not vigilant and were still eating, drinking and laughing.

"snort."

Knight Crowe snorted coldly, feeling angry and helpless at the laziness of these guards.

When his figure just flashed out from the spiral staircase, the whole person accelerated his movements with all his strength.

The three guards in the room didn't even see the figure of Crow Knight, and the Crow Knight rushed in at a high speed and punched three times in an instant, hitting the foreheads of the three guards with appropriate force.

bang bang bang.

Because of the high speed, it looked as if Knight Crowe knocked down a guard with an extra hand after punching with both his left and right hands in an instant.

The three guards rolled their eyes and fell backwards, fainting.

Knight Crowe didn't need to kill people, he just had to stun these people, and make sure that after waking up from the coma, they would also lose their memory of the moment before the coma due to the heavy blow.

However, the weight of this amnesia is difficult to grasp, and sometimes it will be more. It is also very possible that these guards may lose the memory of the last few days after they wake up.

But this has nothing to do with Knight Crowe. Anyway, he is in the army now and has never been to this arrow tower. Anyone who asks will always answer this question.

-

In an instant, he punched and overturned the three more slack guards of the arrow tower. Knight Crowe ignored the others and directly took out the things in the backpack behind him.

It's a great bundle of strong rope, and a net that Keel bought at South Pass.

This net is very strong, and it is said that it is the net used by the hunters in the central province to hunt monsters in the swamp and river. He had tried it himself, and it had to be very hard to break the cords that made up the net.

After taking out the things and putting them on the ground, Knight Crowe came to the middle of the room on the lower floor of the magic ballista.

There is a huge stone pillar connected to the upper floor. The power supply for the magic ballista above comes from the magic light-emitting mechanism in the center of the pillar.

Behind the metal railing, which is more than one meter high and suitable for human opening and closing, is a gold plate inlaid and stuck on the stone pillar.

Gold and silver are common magic transmission bodies, and these precious metals are also easy to shape. As far as Knight Crowe knows, most of them are cheap. Yes, the magic circle substrate made of gold is one of the cheapest.

The second is silver, and because the silver magic circle substrate is twice as light as gold, it is more widely used.

It's just that in the magic array substrate where a large amount of magic power is constantly flowing, because gold has better magic power circulation, more gold is used.

On the base plate of the golden magic array connected to the magic pipeline inside the stone pillar, dozens of magic gems are three-dimensionally inlaid according to the repeated magic array on the surface of the base plate.

The source of magic power is these dozens of gems that store magic power.

These gems are shining brightly. It is obvious that the Kendalls came at the right time. In the early spring, the chamber of commerce in Weifeng Town raised money to fully charge the magic power in these magic gems. Now what is left to Knight Crowe is a magic ballista full of magic power.

During the investigation last night, Knight Crowe was full of confidence after seeing this.

Now, there are only a set of metal railings standing in front of Knight Crowe.

Knocking on the metal railing with his index finger, Knight Crowe raised his eyebrows.

when-

Not ordinary steel railings.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy." He shook his head, pulled out the dagger at his waist, and used the blade to slam the metal railing hard, and green sparks emitted from the metal junction.

"With the railings made of magic materials, let me just say, it won't be so easy."

Although Knight Crowe couldn't recognize what kind of magic material was added, he saw that it was not easy to destroy the metal railing.

Especially without a metal hammer head at hand as a demolition tool.

But he looked at the stone pillar fixing the metal railing, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

-

Soon, a heavy and solid metal railing with a padlock made of magic materials was carefully placed against the wall by him.

Can't do anything about the metal railings, can I still do nothing about the stone pillars next to the railings?

This is where magical powers exceed the expectations of the designers of protective magic powered devices.

If they are powerful nobles, most of them will choose to use anti-magic stones to build safe houses and shelters, and valuables will be stored in metal safes made of all magic materials, and even this metal safe has to be made of metal. Poured on the building structure to ensure that it will not be taken away in its entirety.

Similar to the security protection in front of Knight Crowe, it is enough to guard against people with ordinary means. If Knight Rumi came to act, Knight Rumi probably could only compete with the magic material metal lock, and there was no other way.

But that would be a waste of time.

And he directly used the life energy transformed by the elements to manipulate the stone pillars around the metal railing of the magic material to move away, and everything became within easy reach.

"Haha." He had to smile and shook his head. He really didn't know what the person who came to check after seeing the metal railing was intact and the lock was intact, but the base of the golden magic circle behind it disappeared. .

It must be suspected that there is a traitor inside, because if there is no trace of damage in everything, it can only mean that he opened it with a key adapted to the magic material lock.

The valuables inside were removed.

"Would you be suspicious?"

Laughing softly, Knight Crowe used his short sword to pry on the base plate of the golden magic circle, and quickly removed the vertical energy supply base plate.

He stretched out his hand to grab it, and carefully put it into the strong backpack he was carrying behind him.

I have to be careful, this thing looks small, only 30 centimeters wide, 20 centimeters high, and 5 centimeters thick, but excluding the magic gems inlaid on it, as well as the magic materials of other magic circles formed by internal connections, the whole weight is There are fifty kilograms.

Ordinary leather bags can't hold such a heavy and small thing, so he specially asked the army blacksmith to make a double-layer cowhide leather backpack overnight.

After the thing was installed, Knight Crowe picked up the hundreds of kilograms of magic metal metal railing, pressed the thing back to its original position, and urged the surrounding stones to move back to its original position.

Knight Crowe took two steps back to look at it, and then stepped forward to make fine adjustments to ensure that it was exactly the same as before.

"Very good, the rest is the main body of the magic ballista."

Taking a breath, Knight Crowe carefully checked the three unconscious guards lying on the ground, making sure that they would not wake up for most of the day, and then turned around and walked up the stairs.

-

Keir turned over and went through the small wooden window, and instead of falling down on the wooden plank on the water surface of the lower patio again, he stuck himself on the wooden window, and took out the two-handed ax with the head of the water from the bag behind him.

"Come on, get ready to slash!"

Kiel chuckled and said to the axe.

The ax shook, as if looking forward to it.

But then Keel swung a heavy ax with one hand, and chopped horizontally on the surface of the thick vines beside the wooden window.

ax:?

What about letting me slash and slash? So that's what they did?

Now, not to mention the axe, even the souls of the many monsters detained in the axe were wilted. Only the souls of the dryads, who had not been active before, were greatly encouraged, and the branches opened their teeth and danced wildly, cheering up the master Kiel.

The sap from the huge vines stuck to the axe, and the energy inside was absorbed by the dryad in the axe, and then the sap quickly turned into dry ashes and fell down.

Keir didn't pay attention to this. He swung his ax several times in a row, not only cutting gaps for climbing on the giant vines next to the wooden window, but also cutting off the vine spikes blocking the way. Huge, eerie flowers blocking the view were also chopped off and dropped onto the water in the patio below.

At this time, Kiel, who was about to climb up the huge vine, noticed that the mucus on the surface of the ax would quickly turn into fly ash, apparently having been sucked out of strength.

He held the ax in front of his eyes and observed carefully, and found that the other monsters were listless, only the ax itself was emitting blue light, and even a tree spirit inside was constantly changing its appearance.

A look of hunger and thirst after a long drought and sweet dew.

"So, you still have this ability?"

The first thing Kiel thought of was not the appearance of this dryad's soul, but a guard tree that originally guarded the ancient ruins of the elves, but survived to the present, in the depths of the northern forest of Doral Forest Village.

Ms. Apolfina called the giant tree the Guardian Tree, but Keel felt that it was more appropriate to call it the Ancient War Tree.

He also remembered that the thing had killed his beloved horse, although Keel had also been killed by setting it on fire.

But people, always see the mistakes of others, but will not reflect on their own mistakes.

He only remembered that his horse was killed by the big tree, so at this moment, seeing that the dryad soul in his ax had a special effect on plants, he immediately wanted Yueshuitou to find opportunities to take revenge in the future .

"Why do you have this kind of power now? When you were fighting the big tree and the werewolf, why didn't you explode, maybe you cleaned up the big tree at that time."

As if sensing the master's complaint, the dryad's soul felt aggrieved and swayed its branches like tentacle monsters.

Keir couldn't understand it, but he was just complaining, without any malice.

"Well, don't worry about that, let me see your skills later."

After Kiel finished speaking, he inserted the more than ten kilograms Yueshui head two-handed ax into his belt along the wooden handle, and carefully climbed up the giant vines that had been cut out of the gaps with his hands and feet.

The wooden window on the second floor was already close to the top floor of the building, so Keel climbed up to the roof of the building with two climbs.

There is no place to set foot here, there are crowded giant vines everywhere, and the protective spikes stick out towards the sky, like spears in an army formation. Huge, oddly colored flowers suggest this giant vine is not of native lineage.

It seems that the vine at the bottom has been severely attacked. At this moment, in front of Kiel, a large fan-shaped giant vine stretched out from the vine under his feet, and they all nervously 'quickly' closed their own flowers.

The flowers on the other vines also seemed to have heard the wind from their companions, and some of the vacillating ones also closed their own flowers. Some gluttonous bees got drunk in the heart of the sweet flower, but were locked up by the closed flower.

It was only at this time that they came to their senses and flew up drunkenly, bumping in vain against the petals which are weak to humans but tough to bees.

Keel took a deep breath, although the petals of the giant vine flowers were colorful and weird, like a novice painter's palette, the colors were chaotic and disorderly. But the fragrance of the flowers is very sweet and pleasant.

"Spring, huh, it's pretty good. But I'm sorry, I can only repay the hospitality of this fragrance."

With a self-deprecating smile, Kiel pulled out a two-handed ax from his waist belt, and slashed at the vines on the roof in front of him.

He gathered life energy to his arms and shoulders, swung his ax with great force, and chopped it down with one axe, boom! Not only the giant vines as thick as a waist were cut open, but even the adobe bricks on the roof were split open with a deep cut.

"Oops, too much force!"

He withdrew part of his life energy, carefully controlled the flow of life force in his body, swung the ax again, and there was a crisp cracking sound. This time, he only cut off the giant vine, and did not hurt the roof below.

"With this strength, speed up. You can't let Knight Crowe wait for me."

Kiel muttered to himself, swinging the ax vigorously.

For a large section of giant vine that was cut off, Kiel knocked it with the crescent-like lower half of the axe, and pulled this part back into the patio.

Puff, puff, after a while, a large piece of dry giant vines floated up on the surface of the courtyard.

Now that Keel had room to land on the roof, he jumped on it, and instead of continuing to cut other giant vines, he brought the ax in front of him and carefully examined it.

"You are so active, you want to absorb the power of plants, no, life, then I will give you a chance, let you **** enough!"

Looking at the blue shiny surface of the blue axe, Keel muttered to the excited dryad, and then swung the ax heavily with one hand, chopping the ax at the main branch of the giant vine in the courtyard.

It was the place where he climbed and sat just now.

The blue ax face was completely cut into the branches of the giant vine, and Keel stretched out his hand to hold the ax handle, looking forward to this particularly magical two-handed axe, which would bring him some surprises.

-

boom!

There was a chopping sound on the roof not far away.

Finley's eyes fixed, and he guessed that it must be the sound of Keel starting to clean the vines on the roof of the building.

He swallowed, and glanced at the people who were watching them not far away from the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, no matter whether it was the corner of the intersection ahead or the people squatting far behind, they were all attracted by this sudden sound. These people are confused, but they are not stupid. They probably guessed what must have happened.

The head of the person watching in front retracted, while the people behind were still staring at them, watching every move of the two people in the carriage.

"Finley, just now?"

The driver next to him, Pollau asked in a low voice.

"It came from the roof. It should be that Joe started to move. Well, it feels a little slow. I hope he moves faster and makes less noise."

He wasn't afraid of the stalkers, but he was particularly worried that the security militia station that Knight Crowe had explained before was in the same building in front of him.

Hope nothing unexpected happens.

-

"what sound?"

The leader of the thieves group turned his head to the direction of the voice, and when he judged that it was the direction of the warehouse of the chamber of commerce that planted the luminous plants, he immediately showed such an expression on his face.

"There must be something weird, maybe it broke a secret room? Or a metal treasure chest? Hmm."

He guessed based on his own experience and the knowledge he had learned. The subordinates next to him were rather at a loss, but they all listened carefully to what the boss said. After all, unlike ordinary pickpockets and thieves who were born and bred in the local area, the boss was an official thief recognized by the above. Moreover, he is a high-tech and powerful thief who has studied in the Thieves Guild!

Once you learn first-hand, you will have a technology that you can rely on for a lifetime.

Several companions have benefited from this.

After some people were trained by the boss, the success rate of stealing money bags increased rapidly, and they have not been caught on the spot so far.

After some people were taught valuable knowledge by the boss, every time they entered a resident’s house, they would never see anyone at home again, and they could succeed every time. There was a time when the residents were panicked, and the pickpockets and thieves in the town They are extremely revered.

Everyone knows that the boss has really learned powerful skills from it, so after the boss of the thief did a few big jobs, not only the local big chamber of commerce compromised, but also other thieves in the town enthusiastically joined the thief who has no name yet. group.

Regarding the lack of a name, some companions in the regiment complained slightly, but the boss quickly convinced everyone.

"There are only a dozen of us, two or three streets, and this is the strength." The boss said and raised his little finger.

"So before it becomes big, it's best not to jump like that, give yourself a famous name, it's best not to even have a name, anyway, we are the only family in Weifeng Town now, when it comes to stealing, everyone will only think of it at the first time Let's, then it doesn't matter if you have a name or not, right?"

"When the villages and towns along the entire Strange Wind Grassland have our people and become famous, then we will show off the name of the bandit group and develop southward along the commercial road to Kawenling!"

-

The leader of the thieves became nervous. It was the first time he confronted someone from above, which made him very nervous.

"Has the person who inquired about the news returned?"

He turned around and asked ~www.readwn.com~ Immediately, some of his subordinates trotted to inquire, and quickly turned back: "Boss, there is news, but I don't know if it is."

"explain."

The thief boss stared at his subordinates, and his subordinates immediately said: "The employees of the Chamber of Commerce who live nearby have seen a large metal cage brought in by the "Magic Light Plant" Chamber of Commerce a few days ago."

"Well, it's a little suspicious. Check again and report again. Tell the person who informs you and reward him with ten copper coins."

He ordered to go on, and his subordinates will explain to those who inquired about the news.

Soon, the subordinate in charge of intelligence news ran back excitedly: "Boss, that man saw Qian and shared important news."

These words attracted everyone's attention.

"Say it."

"The man saw with his own eyes a glowing colorful bird locked in a metal cage. It was hidden in the territory of the chamber of commerce with the steward of the chamber of commerce and his buddies. Those people also specially selected daytime transportation with few people, and gave it to the chamber of commerce. The source said that he found out after a while in the chamber of commerce where he was working that day."

"Okay, the luminous colorful bird has to be transported in a metal cage by the manager of the Chamber of Commerce himself when there are few people. Hmph, I guess the value of that thing is not less than this amount!"

He holds up a finger.

The other thieves gasped and muttered to themselves, "One hundred gold coins?"

But the thief boss sneered disdainfully: "It's promising, a thousand gold coins, otherwise why would the thieves sent by the top not steal a hundred gold coins?"

He rubbed his hands, but at this moment, he flinched a little. Although it was the price he said, he himself was worried, could he get involved in something with such a high price?
