Chapter 757 Decoy Tactics
After a glance at each other, Juins and Aesop both showed solemn expressions.
"It's not a peaceful time, and no one should make such jokes." Aesop threw the thick magic book aside, and the coat rack that came out of nowhere picked up the magic book and stuffed it into the corresponding bookshelf.
Juins put his helmet back on his head and ordered the guards outside in a muffled voice: "Take the person who reported the news here and let us personally confirm whether the information is true."
"Get orders."
Then the sound outside fell silent as the footsteps ran away.
"Although it's unlikely to be a joke, maybe the other party's purpose is not a joke." Compared to Aesop, who has been staying in the room for many years, Juins, who is riding on the battlefield, is obviously more mature and experienced. When encountering this situation, he thinks more thoroughly: "For example, transferring the two of us, who are now rotating heroes, away from the vicinity of the city wall."
"You mean, may the other party be the spy of the Abyss Demon?"
A cold light flashed in Aesop's eyes.
His hometown was affected by the war when the demons invaded, and almost all of them were destroyed.
Aesop's family, which was originally a small noble, was also broken in that war.
By the time Aesop, who was studying with a legendary master, returned to his hometown, it was too late. He only dug two highly decayed corpses in the ruins of his home...
It is precisely because of this that after returning to the teacher and practicing successfully, he joined the Salvation Army. He also blew up a raid team composed of twelve large demons through a carefully designed series of magic traps, becoming a new hero.
"It's just possible. I'm just an example." Juins scratched his helmet and made a harsh sound like scratching the blackboard with his fingernails. Aesop frowned.
"Anyway, we will have to wait for that person to come before we can make a judgment."
"Hmph." Aesop leaned on the velvet lounge chair with an unpleasant expression, and snorted lightly, without answering the conversation.
After a while, the guards' notice came from outside the door.
However, to their surprise, the whistleblower was actually a girl.
"My name is Raven De Pestle, and I am a magic swordsman from outside Stein."
The whistleblower first pulled up the corner of his skirt, revealing the leather pants under the short skirt, and saluted the two heroes.
Her neither humble nor arrogant expression made Juins quite fond of her.
Aesop directly released a detective evil, but Raven was naturally not a spy from the abyss, so this detection magic has no effect at all.
But Aesop was not relieved by this, but instead used an unfinished lie detection.
This magic is only effective for humans, and depending on the subject's magic, it will also have a certain degree of resistance to magic.
Before entering the state of the Dharma Agent, Raven did not have too high magic power, so the magic still took effect.
But there was no lie before her words, so the magic did not respond at all.
"Magic is not resisted. It is not high against magic. It should not be a demon or a subordinate who is confused by the demon."
Aesop narrowed his eyes and muttered softly in a voice that only he could hear.
Of course, Juins could hear his words vaguely because of the increase in his armor, and knew that the identity of the girl in front of him was not very suspicious.
But the necessary vigilance must not be missed.
"Where did you live?"
He asked in a serious tone.
This voice is combined with his nearly two meters tall. It gives people a lot of pressure, and ordinary people will involuntarily feel afraid and reveal the truth.
But Raven still looks quite calm.
"I came from the east of the mainland, but now it has fallen. At the end of my life, I went to the plains of Talisid and found that the two people on the wanted order were in the centaur's camp."
The place where Raven was before crossing was indeed the Eastern Plain, and the Eastern Plain was indeed fallen in this era. In order to respond to Sivi's plan and participate in the final war, there was no other way except to go to Talisid. The two people on the wanted order did not say when they met St. George and the others, nor did they say that they did not know St. George and the others. Although they gave people a sense of misleading that "we happened to find them near the Centaur Camp", there was indeed no lie in the literal way.
So there was no movement in detecting lies.
"Very good, your honesty won my respect."
After receiving Aesop's statement of "can be trusted" and seeing him withdraw his detection of evil and lies, Juins said in a muffled voice.
"So can you take us to find them now?"
"Of course, but until then, aren't you going to give me the bounty?"
Raven spread her hands towards the big man, waiting for him to pay.
This made Juins a little embarrassed - although he was a hero, he didn't have much money.
"After we find those wanted criminals in the Centaur camp, we will naturally give you the money."
Aesop immediately spoke out to help.
Like Juins, he didn't have much cash - but Juins spent money on helping the poor and various fine wines, while Aesop used it to buy precious magic books.
Although it should be feasible to get a bounty from the warehouse now, the girl only saw St. George and his gang in the centaur camp. God knows when they will leave, so moving quickly is the right way to set off.
"Since that's the case, please ask the two heroes to write an IOU first."
Raven said with a smile: "Because they don't know when those wanted criminals will leave the Centaur gathering place. If you rude at that time and say that you didn't find someone and didn't give a bounty, wouldn't I lose a lot? Not only did I get nothing, but I also attracted the hatred of those wanted criminals in vain. There happened to be paper and pen there."
If there weren't many centaurs gathering places around Stein City, and it took longer to find them one by one, Aesop felt that he would definitely blow the greedy girl out.
When did the promises of the two heroes become so worthless...
In addition, the paper is the best material for writing magic scrolls, "Tarianster Magic Radiation Paper". Currently, it costs ten centimeters to buy one gold coin!
He ordered the guard and asked him to inform the magicians that they would use the Eye of the Wizard to sneak into the surrounding centaur camps, observing and looking for the whereabouts of St. George and his gang, Aesop could only find a useless parchment with Junes and wrote an IOU on it...
Satisfied Raven stuffed the IOU into her chest, and then compared a "please" gesture to the two heroes with bad expressions.
——Centaur Camp—
"In other words, do we need to try our best to attract Stein's attention while ensuring our safety as much as possible?"
After listening to Sivi's explanation, St. George said thoughtfully.
"Although it's a little different, you can just understand it this way."
Xiwei looked at a pocket watch on his body and estimated the time: "It's almost here, let's go. After all, I enjoyed the banquet of the Centaur tribe, and I can't fight on other people's territory."
Sandler rubbed his temples with some headache: "I think it's already bad that you will definitely fight as the premise. The heroes in Stein City are not much weaker than us. No matter which one they came this time, I'm afraid that in a one-on-one situation, you are the only one who can win."
"There is no need to win steadily. Just delay the time and the bigger the trouble, the better."
Sivie patted Sandler on the shoulder: "I'm optimistic about you!"
"I would rather not be favored by you than this..." Sandler complained: "Why did I agree to join your strange mercenary group at the time?"
"It's probably because of my personality."
Xiwei replied casually.
The response to him was Sandler's sneering attitude.
When you are free, you must teach this guy what etiquette is.
Xiwei thought in his heart.
Sandler, who was maintaining the divine bow and the bird of paradise, felt a chill on his back and his goosebumps stood up inexplicably...
"But what Sandler said is indeed correct. If we only have one or two heroes, we can still deal with it. After all, the strongest heroes are only at the level of a great magician... And in terms of combat effectiveness, they may not be as strong as your great magician. But this is also our limit. Even if we add Shanghai Sen, we will be under great pressure when facing three heroes. Once the legends in the city take action, we will not even have a chance."
St. George said to Sevey with a serious look on his face.
Although he had always insisted on his knighthood, he still had a definite understanding of his own strength and could not help but say with some concern: "And this is when the other party does not allow the magician troops to coordinate the casting of spells..."
The individual magicians in the magician army are not strong, but once the number increases, the power of coordinated spell casting is also very considerable.
"It's okay, just let it go. If you really can't stand it, retreat. You should know all the secret tunnels I left behind." Xiwei waved his hand: "If there is really a legend, I will definitely not sit idly by."
"So what should this guy do?" Sandler kicked Heisen, who was still drunk. Heisen made a whimpering sound, waved impatiently, as if catching a fly, and asked Siwei, "You can't throw it here, right?"
"Find a bucket and throw it down." Xiwei suggested seriously. (To be continued...)
