The Truth of Magic

Chapter 358: hint

Views:

"You said?" Zhao Xu's current vision is no longer about ordinary people's offenses.

In fact, in his opinion, the conflict just now was not much different from fifty ants offending him.

If he hadn't been unsure whether these fifty ants were plundering for a living, he would have been in a dilemma whether to let them go or not.

He could accept Mrs. Betty's suggestions as long as they were reasonable.

After all, he is now playing a goddess priest, not a charlatan.

"If you allow me, pastor, I would like to release all these cavalrymen."

It was different from the tangled look in which Mrs. Betty gritted her teeth and asked her men to rush to rescue Zhao Xu when they were first besieged.

At this moment, she became the spokesperson of these cavalry, and in turn interceded with Zhao Xu.

The guards under her and even the captain of the guard all had normal expressions and did not show any signs of dissatisfaction.

Seeing Zhao Xu's silence, Mrs. Betty said, "Looking back, I can use the low-level arcane scroll in my hand as the price to buy their lives."

Seeing this, Zhao Xu continued to focus on the leader "Rupert" who originally ordered the attack on him.

After feeling his gaze, Rupert, who was trapped in the spider web and even out of breath from struggling, immediately understood the meaning.

He directly pulled out the dagger tied to his thigh, and a dazzling silver light flashed directly.

Then Rupert suddenly pushed himself backwards and stabbed himself in the non-fatal thigh. In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and all blood disappeared.

But Rupert gritted his teeth and did not fall to the ground. Instead, he looked at Zhao Xu, looking into his eyes.

Is a second sword needed

Zhao Xu was somewhat unexpected when he saw this. He didn't expect Rupert to be so decisive.

Originally, Zhao Xu was just waiting for the other party to beg for mercy. Anyway, after this battle, the other party will definitely find it difficult to use him again. Whether it is the original organization or the next Mrs. Betty, they will knock the other party into dust and trample him into the bottom. He will lively experience the before and after. The difference between clouds and deep valleys.

It's just that the other party's sword to apologize to Zhao Xu also saved him.

This is also a microcosm of the strict class gap that Arthur has accumulated over thousands of years. Only by using more extreme methods can the small people show their reflections to the big people.

Zhao Xu turned around calmly, not caring about the aftermath of the current battle, and returned directly to the carriage.

As for what happened next, it was naturally carried out automatically by Mrs. Betty who interceded for the cavalry.

As for the scroll's bribe, he naturally looked down upon it.

After the three of them got into the carriage, the coachman flicked the soft whip in his hand and prepared to drive and set off.

"Captain, the leader of the cavalry originally planned to attack us to prevent the secret from being exposed, but we players have resurrection stones to resurrect. Isn't it pointless for the other party to do this?"

Zheng Xinyun bit her lip, thinking and analyzing.

Understanding that the other party's thinking is still relatively innocent and has not been fully transformed, Zhao Xu explained, "Like the players without roots, their testimony is not strong enough. And if they really find a successful channel to complain, I am afraid that many things have already been done." "

"Killing us is the most important thing. As for keeping it secret, that's just incidental."

Eliton finally woke up from a dream, "Sir, why do we let them go?"

He didn't feel much about the sword that Rupert had just stabbed himself. If he offended his husband, he should die. What's the point of stabbing himself a few times.

Zhao Xu looked at the carriage door curtain that had been restored to its original state at this moment, "Have you finished killing? If I really want to kill, the one I hit will not be a spider web spell, but a fireball spell."

As he said that, he looked at the two of them helplessly. As an Arthur native, Eliton obviously came into contact with the same human beings who only lived once.

Why is he so angry now? If the other party offends me and others, he will kill them without hesitation.

It makes him look more like a player now.

It's just that evil barbarians can do this kind of thing, but their kind priests have to be more restrained.

I heard that Mrs. Betty would rather give out expensive magic scrolls to redeem the lives of those people.

Zhao Xu understood that after hearing the name "Qiluo", the other party would probably immediately think of how to arrange the cavalry team.

Thinking that the other party might be manipulated by him in the future, Zhao Xu naturally gave up the method of eradicating the roots.

If a person like him wants to take revenge, he will not focus on the tool itself, but go beyond the tool and directly pursue the person behind the tool.

At this moment, the entire carriage suddenly began to brake, and the speed suddenly slowed down.

The driver outside poked his head in and said, "Sir, the lady is driving here."

After the coachman turned around and went back, Zhao Xu also leaned out of the car curtain and noticed that Mrs. Betty had changed from her previous weak posture while sitting in the carriage.

At this moment, the other party held the young son in his arms with both hands, and relied entirely on the strength of his legs to control the horse underneath him. He looked quite heroic with ease.

"Mr. Pastor, one of the wheels of the carriage we were riding in just now is broken, so we can only make do with horses for the time being. But the youngest son is weak, and I am worried that he will catch the wind and cold due to the snow. So I would like to ask you, can you let me My youngest son got in the car to get out of the snow.”

Mrs. Betty was followed by a dozen cavalry at the moment. It was obvious that she had just made contact and had already recruited some of the people with the help of Zhao Xu's banner.

The two people sitting in the carriage heard Mrs. Betty's request through the curtain. Although they looked at each other, they felt something was wrong, but they couldn't explain why.

"Come up together." Zhao Xu said after looking at the thin layer of snow that had accumulated on the bodies of several people.

It would be fine if they were an orphan and a widow, but it was not like he didn't notice the wheel. Mrs. Betty, who was supported by fifty cavalry, could repair the wheel without any pressure at all.

In the final analysis, Mrs. Betty had this idea and insisted on joining her on the trip to show off her face.

She needs to get close to Zhao Xu and continue to expand this relationship.

After Betty and her son got on the carriage, she directly found an angle to lean on. Her youngest son also lay quietly in her arms and fell asleep quietly. .

"Mr. Pastor, don't you know what to call me?" Thinking that the journey was not short, Mrs. Betty asked.

Zhao Xu, who had no confidentiality requirements, also introduced the identities of several of his people in turn.

As if aware of Zhao Xu's difficulty, Mrs. Betty directly changed the target. She laughed as sweetly as silver bells all the way, communicating with Zheng Xinyun and Eliton.

Even Elyton, who was burdened with a blood feud, saw the coldness on his face lessened a lot after seeing Mrs. Betty's tears of sympathy.

"I heard there are rumors that Frost Dew Town is haunted?"

After Mrs. Betty told a secret story she heard in her boudoir, causing her two companions to laugh, Zhao Xu suddenly asked.

It stands to reason that this Mrs. Betty was born there, so she would probably know some inside information.

However, Mrs. Betty, who had always been willing to answer questions, immediately stiffened when she first heard this question.

Even though she immediately controlled her facial expression to return to normal, she hurriedly changed the topic and distracted several people's thoughts.

Zhao Xu also instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

As I originally thought, it seems that taking Zheng Xinyun and Eliton to see the old hag this time may not go as smoothly as imagined.

Because of this incident, it was so serious that after Mrs. Betty saw her own strength, her instinctive reaction was not to reveal it to herself, but chose to try her best to conceal it.

Which town's shadow is too scary

Or is this inside story impossible to expose to their pastor

Although Zhao Xu felt that the towns near Mystra could not hide any shocking secrets, or that there were powerful monsters that tortured humans.

But this discomfort still made him feel a little strange.

At this time, Zhao Xu reached out to open the side pocket of his backpack and took out a small glass bottle.

The "hand skills" he had practiced during this period allowed him to hide the bottle in the palm of his hand without any trace of it being exposed.

Because there is a piece of snake tongue hidden in the bottle, and olive oil is dripped on it, a special spell-casting material.

"Mrs. Betty, I am very impressed by your experience of being able to cross the blockade as an orphan and a widowed mother just now." Zhao Xu suddenly praised, speaking so directly that Mrs. Betty blushed and lowered her head.

At this time, Zhao Xu even applauded.

Due to his skill, no one even noticed the glass bottle between his little finger and ring finger.

Even at this moment of applause, Zhao Xu was accompanied by extremely hidden murmurs to himself.

He directly used the technique of "disguise casting".

He hid the process of casting his spell in seemingly ordinary actions.

No one present noticed that he was chanting and casting spells.

Zhao Xu, Wang Ningwei and Eswig once passed the test in the real illusion and inherited the technique of concealment.

When Zhao Xu finally finished clapping his hands, the glass bottle he held between his fingers had become empty.

It's just that Zhao Xu's movements were extremely smooth and gorgeous, so he hid the glass vial containing the materials.

The moment the spell was completed, Mrs. Betty, who had deliberately appeared "shy", suddenly looked in a daze.

But soon, she recovered.

At this time, Zhao Xu's tone had a deep meaning and he said to the other party: "You are currently alone and helpless in Shuanglu Town, so when you get there, you should rely more on us and share information with us in a timely manner. Exchange what is needed.”

Mrs. Betty's eyes instantly lost their brightness, as if they were dull, but she recovered immediately.

It was as if he was controlled by someone in an instant.

"Mr. Zhongxia, you are right." Mrs. Betty suddenly became more enthusiastic at this moment, and smiled lightly at Zhao Xu.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, you successfully cast the third-ring spell "Suggestion" on Mrs. Betty, duration: 12 hours (1h per level)]
