Above the Seven Towers

Mars and Luke were lurking in the angle between the two carts. A bonfire not far away pulled a shadow here and gave them the best cover.

It was just a meal before. There were too many people coming and going. The two of them did not dare to show their heads and could only wait for the opportunity quietly. But for the assassin, this is nothing. In this line of business, people who are impatient have already died.

"Mars, I didn't expect these slaves to be quite good. We stayed for so long. No one was fighting or grabbing food." Boring Luke knelt on one knee, he changed his legs carefully. , There is no sound.

"Hey, what do you think of those people whose heads are white trees?" Mars pointed his thumb, and nodded behind him, a few tens of meters away, standing a few poles, with a few hooded heads stuck in it, "And they seem to Divide dozens of people into a team, and there are special people to take care of it. Naturally no one dares to move. "

"I was afraid that these people would be seen as too dead. After a while, the fire broke out, and the noise was not big enough to elicit the magician. That would be troublesome." Luke then added, "This campsite is too weird. , I am awkward. "

"Slave is a slave. When the fire starts, you will understand that no matter what the camp is! There will be people scattered everywhere for a while. As long as we are in the crowd, who will pay attention to us." Mars said.

The two waited for a while. Mars saw fewer and fewer people walking around, and everyone went back to bed one after another, saying: "It's about time, I'm going to set fire, you find a hidden place, and wait for the magician to appear."

Luke licked his lips and picked up his crossbow arrows, excitedly: "Okay, my favorite part of the hunt is finally about to begin."

Mars walked through the shadows for a while, and was close to a place where forages were placed. He found that there are more than a dozen carts of hay and beans piled up here, which is a perfect ignition point. What's even better is that most of the people who sleep here are women and children. Not to mention the fire, these people are very good without adding chaos. But the forages were fenced separately, with torches all around, and four or five people with spears and crossbows were watching.

Mars was quite surprised, but it was just a group of slaves. Why should he be more serious than fighting? However, such a situation could not stop him. He took a small bag of mung beans from a small bag in his clothes and slowly put his grudge into it.

Slowly, the spar gave out a little red light and became hot. Mars covered his light with his cloak and protected his hand with his grudge until the spar was completely turned into a bright red. He gave it a snap and sent it into a haystack.

In the blink of an eye, first a few strands of green smoke, and then fire and thick smoke came out of the haystack billowingly. The foragers soon discovered the fire and yelled at the people who were asleep around. Some went to push away the grass that was not lit. Some hurried to the river to get water, while others ran Report to the person in charge.

Mars threw down the black cloak, revealing a very ordinary linen cloth, which was indifferent to the crowds running around. He hid his short knife and bag with spar under his clothes, followed the flow of people, and continued to look for opportunities to set fire. He knew that Luke had hid in the shadows and could shoot a deadly arrow at any time.

When Mars set fire, Luo Ling was staying in the tent with Elena.

The other elves have been picked up by the elf ranger who came here a few days ago. Only Elena did not leave. She made a request. She hoped to follow Xiao Chen and his party back to the school to take a look. Her reasons were hard to refuse. : The elf family is willing to open a trade with the magician Xiao Chen who saved his own people, but before that they need to understand their trading partners.

Xiao Chen discussed with a few people and agreed to the request because Elena had a mysterious origin. In order to reduce prying eyes and trouble, Luo Ling kept her living with herself these days.

"Your clothes are really unique." Elena knelt down on the cushion at the bottom of the tent, leaning sideways, her green hair tied into many tiny braids, and then the braids were delicately coiled together to reveal a slender neck. Elves are mostly thin, so is Elena, sitting like a daffodil.

At this time, she doesn't seem to be too sad. Allen's death seems to be in the past. Anyway, Luo Ling thinks that she has a good spirit these days and is curious enough about many new things that she hasn't seen. . Is it because life is too long?

Luo Ling just washed her hair and her hair was still wet. She simply pierced her ponytail and bangs her head on her forehead. She didn't wear a wide magi robe, she wore a shirt and a short coat, and the bottom was a pair of dark blue jeans.

"Ordinary clothes from home." She smiled and sat on the floor opposite Elena. With one hand on the ground, one hand rested on the bent leg, looking relaxed and casual.

"But I've never seen it. I'm really curious about where your hometown is." As Elena said this, she looked at Luo Ling with her eyes up and down, her mouth slightly upturned. I wonder if it was interesting or admiring. Looking at Luo Ling a little embarrassed, she said: "The mainland is so big, there are some things with special styles, which are not very normal. I really like the texture of the leaves and flowers on your clothes. a feeling of."

"Although the continent is very large, there are very few things that do not know for the elves." When Elena said this, she couldn't see how much arrogance she looked, and she took it for granted. "We have a long life, I especially like to record beautiful things. Poets and rangers who travel on the mainland will record those beautiful things and come back to share with us. Even many islands far from the mainland have their footprints. It ’s not my exaggeration, the empire has What new fashions, we in the forest, know much faster than the little nobles in the countryside. I am two hundred and thirty years old this year. In the past two hundred years, the clothes of those human countries have changed, but they are all installed here. " Elena nodded her forehead lightly. "But you don't have anything like this."

"I said, we are from a very distant continent." Luo Ling shrugged.

"But you have the same words as us." Elena reached out and pointed to several books beside Luo Ling, and opened a book with her thoughts, "Analysis of various classes in Chinese society ... China is your country. You see, these are all magic texts, and the oldest ancient books of elves are written in these words. I can hardly imagine a kingdom communicating with our words without any connection. "

"This ..." Luo Ling was thinking about how to answer, and suddenly found that there was movement outside, and noisy human voices sounded.

auzw.com Elena ’s long ears moved, "It's on fire."

"Go out and see." Luo Ling got up and pulled away the tent, almost hitting Shi Hao and Kalanda who were coming in.

"What's the situation?" Luo Ling walked out of the tent and saw that there were flames in the two corners of the camp. "Someone set fire?"

Shi Hao and Kalanda glanced at each other and said, "I'm afraid they are. Two fires that are far apart at the same time will not be accidents."

"The arsonist must definitely fish in muddy water. Have you sent someone to protect Xiao Chen?" Luo Ling asked.

"Xiao Chen?" Shi Hao was surprised, "Lao Chen took people to fight the fire, let Roger take good hands to ambush the people who set fire to the grain truck. He said that 80% of the people who set fire would want to burn grain. Could it be said that someone Want to deal with Xiao Chen? "

"Xiao Chen is our external facade. Everyone thinks that he is our leader."

"Fresh! According to you, Xiao Chen is really dangerous ..." Shi Hao said anxiously.

"Okay, no need to talk nonsense, the two of you quickly took someone to Xiao Chen." Luo Ling resolutely said.

"Then what do you do? In the eyes of those people, you are also a magician." Shi Hao said.

"Then leave a soldier to stay with me, the others go to Xiao Chen!"

"I stay!" Kalanda said.

In fact, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling discovered the fire almost at the same time. At that time, everyone's stories were almost the same. Xiao Chen was listening to the captain of the squad, an Empire soldier telling about his tragic encounter. When he said that he was captured by the army of the kingdom and sold as a commodity to the slave market, he suddenly looked at the sky in a daze.

Xiao Chen looked down at him, and the sky behind him was red, apparently on fire!

The crowd around also saw this sight, and many people were in a panic.

Xiao Chen immediately stopped these people, told them not to run around and barked, and begged everyone to wake up the people in the surrounding group, gather people to him, and wait for the arrangements in the camp.

There was nothing wrong with these arrangements, but he didn't expect that this action allowed Luke, who was ambushed in the dark, to quickly find him.

Young black-haired magician with a magic sword.

Under the fire, Xiao Chen, who was wearing a mage's robe, was very recognizable.

"Finally found you!" Luke licked his lips like a predator saw his prey. He covered his crossbow with a rag, mixed with the crowd, and slowly walked towards Xiao Chen.

"Don't panic, everyone! The fire is still far away from us and there is no threat to us! Let's gather here first, and wait for the people I sent to understand the situation, and then I will make arrangements. Now everyone is sitting on this open space Rest! "Xiao Chen shouted repeatedly to the people who had concentrated.

The image of Xiao Chen's decisive slaughter in the slave camp was still in the hearts of many people, so his prestige was still quite high, and the people who came over listened to his arrangement and sat on the ground.

Catalina was also yelling for him, but she suddenly found that a person not far away did not sit down like the others, but leaned sneakily against a tree, and the man was staring at Xiao Chen while Lifted a cloth in his hand, and under that cloth, there was something strange.

crossbow! That is a black crossbow! Catalina felt that her hair was going to explode.

"Assassin!" She screamed, exhausting all her energy and flew onto Xiao Chen.

And by this time Luke had pulled the trigger ...
