Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

The visitor might be a battle priest, so Tails didn't use the detection spell to avoid alarming the enemy.He hid his figure, clung to the wall of the mage tower, and listened intently.

The visitor walked lightly, and walked straight to the gate of the mage tower. The sound of footsteps stopped outside the gate, as if he was observing.Tails held his breath, his body tensed, and waited.

Soon, the opponent's shadow entered the gate of the mage tower.The moment the opponent stepped into the gate, Tails jumped out, strangled the opponent's neck with his right hand, and attacked the opponent's waist with his left hand.

His attack was half successful, the opponent quickly retreated to avoid his right hand, but despite not being able to use all his strength, Tails still hit the opponent's waist.The opponent gasped, quickly dodged, and tried to withdraw from the mage tower.But Tails followed closely, his right hand continued to strangle the opponent's neck.

His fingers froze before touching the other's skin.Tails maintained his attacking posture, and called out each other's names at the same time.

"Talisa?"

"Tals?"

After recognizing him, Talisa breathed a sigh of relief, tucked the dagger back into her waist, and asked, "Tals, why are you here? I heard from the mage that you went back to your hometown?"

go back home?Tails froze for a moment, nodded, as acquiescence.

"Talisa, what happened here? Where is the mage?" Tails asked eagerly.

"You don't know either?"

"I... Talisa, answer me."

Talisa shook her head, "This place was attacked by an army. As for the mage, I don't know his whereabouts either."

"Army? Neru's? When?"

"Nilu?" Talisa frowned, "It's indeed that group of annoying lunatics. Sir Kate, ten days ago, the group of followers of Santis seemed to surround this place, and they attacked this mage tower , and then quickly withdrew. As for where they went and the whereabouts of the mage, I don’t know. In fact, I just came back from the northwest corner of Crystalsong Forest. After learning about this from Elder Thielun, I came here immediately Here. I don't know much more than you about what happened."

"Do you know how many of them there are?"

"I don't know, Elder Thielun said, there may be thousands of people." Talisa sighed, "Tals, maybe you don't know, in fact, we have signed a verbal covenant with the mage to deal with the group of Santi If the mage is forced to flee to Crystalsong Forest, the wood spirits will help him. Although this covenant is extremely fragile, Elder Tiren will not completely stand by the mage unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the enemy is too powerful, or the mage itself no longer has the value of alliance."

Tails' eyes fell on the scattered debris on the spiral staircase, and his heart became more and more worried.Before, he only thought that it was the lunatics like Nilu who were looking for trouble again, maybe it was the priest who escaped, or it could be the bishop whose clothes were stripped.And now... an army of thousands of men...

Tails suppressed his anxiety and asked calmly: "Talisa, since the mage has a covenant with you, why don't you even know his whereabouts? Even if the enemy is too powerful and you don't want to lend a helping hand, at least you can Send a spy to find out what happened and where the... enemy is going."

"Elder Thielun promised to be within the Crystalsong Forest, but here..." Talisa pointed at her feet, "it does not fall within the scope of the promise. Moreover, I heard that this army has a large number of combat priests and can shoot With the huge arrow device, we have no reason to put our people in danger."

Talisa had a very good reason, and Tails tightly pressed his lips together and stopped talking.

Seeing his unhappy face, Talisa stepped forward, looked into his eyes, and said sincerely: "Tals, the mage once helped me and Ender. If he encounters misfortune, I will do my best Help him."

Tails looked at her, and Talisa's dark green eyes were full of sincerity.After a while, Tails nodded.

When the sun began to set, Tails and Talisa came to the gate of Don't Kill Me Town.Just as the corner of the first house came into view, Tails stopped in his tracks.He stopped Talisa and asked her to hide in the bushes. He used magic to hide his body and sneaked in quietly.

After a while, he came back.

Unlike in the past, the town is now full of soldiers in sun emblem chain mail, and it seems that it has been taken by Neru.

Tails left some "trinkets" on Talisa to make it easier to find her.Afterwards, he asked Talisa to wait near the mage's tower first, while he sneaked into the town to find out about the mage.

With the help of magic, Tails quickly touched the whole town.The town looks extremely deserted now, and almost everyone stays at home and dare not go out.On the streets and squares, apart from the patrolling soldiers, there were more than a dozen people tied up in the square. Most of them were men. Their hands were tied and they were hung on a wooden frame, with only their toes touching the ground. They looked very painful. .Twenty soldiers with spears in their hands were scattered in the four corners of the square, standing guard.

Among these hanging people, Tails caught a glimpse of Charlie.The freckled face hangs from the top shelf, convulsing, rolling its eyes, and opening its mouth like a toad.

Tails quietly entered the winery without disturbing the soldiers.

The wine shop was empty, and the fragrance of morning dew could hardly be smelled.Charlie's wife, Luna, the daughter of the wine shop owner, is staring at the window.Seeing Tails, she first looked around suspiciously, then stood up suddenly with her big belly, and the stool fell to the ground with a "clang". My lord, why are you here? Charlie, Charlie..." As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

"What's wrong with him?" Tails observed Luna calmly.

"He...he today..." A trace of fear flashed in Luna's eyes, "he spoke the names of other gods in front of the priest of the true god at the prayer meeting. So...they hung him on the square , as punishment. They also said that if he was not able to dedicate himself to the true God, then they would..."

Luna lowered her eyelids and whispered three words: "Hang him."

Tears rolled down Luna's cheeks, and there was silence in the small bedroom.Tails opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say any comforting words.He turned his head away from Luna and asked, "Do you know where Vera has gone?"

"Master?" Luna let out a low cry. She quickly covered her mouth, looked around, and lowered her voice, "My lord, didn't you see the notice? The mage was captured by them and taken to Brin City. They plan to... …one, two, three days, and three days later he was publicly burned."

burn to death.

These two words hit Tails' heart hard. He had no idea that that despicable, shameless, and extremely cunning mage was really arrested. Not only that, but he was about to be burned to death.

"Three days? Are you sure?" Tails breathed hard.

Luna nodded. "yes, I'm sure."

My heart throbbed and my mind went blank.Tails clenched his fists, tried to calm his breath, and said to Luna: "Luna, tell me exactly what happened after I left."

His breathing was extremely light, and his voice trembled imperceptibly.The scene in the dream appeared before his eyes again, the mage's eyes were closed tightly, and a flame seemed to be ignited on the tattered black robe...
