Night Raven Master

Chapter 45 Suspicious Mercenary

Art, who had already seen the rear convoy from the perspective of the crow servants, stepped aside and got out of the way.

However, although he gave way, the people in the team recognized him.

"Art—"

Yate followed the voice and recognized the middle-aged man at the front of the line: "Your Excellency Dut?"

Similar to the stay permit decree in Glora County, Durand County's decree stays in one place for more than three days, and you need to ask the local sheriff to apply for a "permission to stay" certificate.

And when he was applying for a stay certificate, he also saw the Dutt chief guard.

After a brief conversation with Baron Pass in the carriage, the chief guard of Dutt walked up to Art.

"I didn't expect to see you here. Are you going to the Red Rose Collar too?" Dutt asked curiously. , let the Chief of Guards have a deep impression on him.

"Yes. After recovering from the injury and paying off the church's treatment fee, I plan to go to Red Rose to collect it." Arthur nodded, and patted his package with a "wry smile" on his face, "My violin needs to be repaired , and Uncle Barrod told me that I need to find an instrument craftsman in the Red Rose Territory to fix him."

"It's really unfortunate." Dutt laughed, "We don't have enough good musical instrument craftsmen in Passling, no, even bards are unwilling to come."

"Ahem, Dutt." A voice suddenly came from the carriage.

Hearing the sound, Dutt seemed to think of something, turned his head and looked at the carriage: "Sorry, Mr. Pas."

It is no joy to describe the inadequacies of his domain to a nobleman.

And Yate, like a commoner meeting a nobleman, after being "surprised", saluted the carriage with a "respectful" expression.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the convoy continued to set off again, but the other party did not intend to bring Yate.

After all, in the eyes of Lord Pass, he is just an ordinary bard.

If he stayed in Pasling for a long time, the other party might invite him to be a musician at a certain banquet, but the premise seemed to be broken.

Moreover, the "generous" Priest Fleck did not disclose Yate's identity as a "superhuman professional" to Paz, and when Yate filled out the stay permit certificate, he only wrote "bard" .

It's the same as the status of bards that those troubadours claim to be.

And just now, that Lord Pass also regarded Art as an ordinary person when he didn't use his mental power
After a series of coincidences, Lord Pass, who likes to recruit followers, successfully missed the opportunity to recruit a professional bard.

Although, even if the other party issued a solicitation, Yate would not agree.

Yate, who deliberately slowed down, narrowed his eyes slightly after watching the convoy gradually go away, and then walked towards the sparse forest next to him.

"Yeah——"

The shrill crows rang out in the forest, and pitch-black crows flew over the forest.

They are searching for the beasts and monsters in this area. In order to improve his own strength, he needs to spawn monsters.

Art, leaning on a wooden crutch that took 3 minutes to make, walked slowly in the forest. In addition to a crow standing on his shoulder, there were four other crows centered on him, wary of possible dangers. existential danger.

Suddenly, Art heard crows rang in his ears——

A jet-black mist-like ball spewed out from the mouth of the Diroud Raven on his shoulder, deflecting the attack trajectory of the sneak attacking creature.

Without any hesitation, Yate raised his right hand, and a black dagger disappeared from the inventory, drawing an arc on the right side along the trajectory of Yate's right hand swing.

hiss--

Although he hadn't seen what it was, the slight tremor caused by the dagger piercing the object couldn't be faked.

As soon as Yate exerted force, the dagger pushed out the stabbed thing abruptly. At the same time, his palm let go of the dagger, allowing the sneak attacking creature to fly out together with the dagger.

Almost at the same time that Yate let go of the dagger, another dagger appeared in his palm and was held by him.

With a step to the right, Yate turned his body, and directly eroded the creature that had just landed with a shot of dark energy.

The spell, which was significantly larger than the mist emitted by the raven, fell on the attacker and hit its body.

At this time, Art realized what the attacking creature was——

A venomous snake whose color is very similar to that of the branches of a tree. Its body is as thick as a child's wrist, and its body length is close to two meters—and the triangular head allows Art, who does not know its exact species, to understand that if he It is dangerous to be bitten by it.

At this time, the poisonous snake hit by Raven and Art's two dark energy erosions had a deep sharp knife wound on the upper part of its body, and a group of dark purple marks on the head and middle, which were dark energy erosions. left traces.

The three attacks obviously caused a lot of damage to it, and it kept twisting and struggling with its snake body. When its slender body swung, it swept away the dagger and the sand that fell beside it.

The dagger in his hand disappeared, and his slightly pale hand grasped the hilt of a long sword, and swung it down heavily.

chap——

The long sword cut off the snake's body from one-ninth position, and cut into the sand.

Withdrawing the long sword, Yate took a step back, the snake's head slowly stopped moving, but the long snake body was still swinging, showing its tenacious vitality.

Yate stepped forward again, aiming at the center of the snake's head with the long sword and stabbing hard, then cut the snake's body into several pieces, completely ending its struggle.

Seeing that the experience point gauge increased a little, Art nodded slightly, and put the snake corpse into the inventory.

The item description about the snake corpse also slowly appeared in Yate's field of vision:
[Snake corpse lv3: The corpse of an ordinary red rose tree snake, which inhabits the territory of the red rose tree. There is no separate venom gland in the body, and the poison spreads all over the body. It is best not to eat it. 】

No separate venom glands?Toxicity all over the body?
"It's really strange." Art read the description twice, and shook his head with some pity, "It seems that it can't be used as food."

In his inventory, there are many corpses - corpses of thieves, beasts, and demonized wolves killed by him.

The corpses of thieves can be used in schemes, framed, framed, and removed from suspicion. When food is in short supply, they can be used as unconventional food reserves for crow servants.

The corpses of wild beasts and demonized wolves were used as regular food reserves for the crow's servants. In his own words, he could at most process the meat of wild beasts.

He has no interest in the meat of humans and demonized wolves. Needless to say, the former is to avoid the situation similar to that of crow servants. Although it is good to improve physical fitness, the price is to let the attack Sexual enhancement, if you lose your cool, forget it.

But Yate squinted his eyes. If the snake body is poisonous, it can be used to poison.

At this moment, Art felt that the other five crow servants he sent to search seemed to have found something.

After finding a relatively safe open place and ordering the crows around him to be on high alert, he closed his eyes——

Share vision!

What appeared in Yate's field of vision was a small camp.

The most conspicuous thing is that the flames surrounded by stones and piled up with dead branches are burning food.

Four men who looked like mercenaries were sitting around the campfire, grilling meat.

The constant opening and closing of their mouths, and the occasional waving of their arms at that time, showed that they were talking, but Art could not hear the content of their conversation through the crow servant.

"It's a pity." After level ten, there is no skill that allows Art to obtain information other than visual information through the crow servant.

After feeling a pity in his heart, Art scanned the entire camp through the eyes of the crow servant.

Then, he discovered a strange place——this camp seems to be a bit too messy, and
This appears to be a one-man camp.

There is a water bag hanging outside the simple tent on the side.

Although he doesn't know much about the preparations for traveling and camping, he does know one thing—that is, no matter whether it is a long distance or a short distance, travelers will bring water bladders, and at least one of these things will be carried by each person.

Feeling the strange Yate, he ordered the smallest crow servant to fly towards the corpse of the beast beside him.

A crow attracted by the corpse of a beast?
This is normal, and at the same time, there is basically only one reaction for anyone to this——

Afterwards, Art saw that among the four people sitting around the campfire, one stood up, and while talking, he drew out the long sword from his waist, and was about to swing the sword at the crow servant.

Afterwards, the servant of the crow, who was instructed by Art, immediately flew away.

There is also a water bag pinned to this person's waist——

However, it is different from the one hanging on the side of the camp tent.

With a faint guess in his heart, Art ordered the crow servant to go around the camp a few times—just like an ordinary crow that refuses to give up food.

Afterwards, Art, who shifted his perspective to it, saw it—these four people were all wearing water bladders, and the water bladders had exactly the same style.

But——it was different from the water bag hanging next to the camp, and the ground near the camp was a bit messy, and there was a lot of blood.

Seeing that there were no traces of concealment on the ground, Art already understood the situation.

"Really?"

Under Art's order, the crow's servants found a body in a nearby bush.

A corpse with wide-eyed eyes and a face full of unwillingness and fear. There were several wounds on his body from sharp knives.

And the clothes on his body also showed traces of being turned over.

"Robbery?"

Seeing all this, Art has been able to confirm the identities of these people——
