The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Cambri is one and a half months further from Akaman to the border town of Ricodo, and even further from Ito, the city where Clarka and his team are carrying out their mission. According to the plan they agreed to communicate once every six months, it is impossible to achieve it.

First, the distance is a bit far, and it is impossible to contact using witchcraft. Second, the distance is really far, and it will take at least eight months to reach the other party's city Ito without revealing Colin's identity.

Colin guessed that Hathaway was worried about Clark and the others and worried about being burdened by them, but Hathaway did not explain anything in detail. She had been escorting Lu Si'an for several days along the way, and they were called a couple to the outside world.

This was not Colin's attempt to take advantage of Hathaway, but to discourage the enthusiasm of some male creatures on the road. Everything was to reduce trouble and not attract other people's attention.

Of course, in addition to this, after a few days, Colin still figured out the hidden first-level professional. His name is Hobbs. According to the professional classification here, he should be considered a first-level thief, and he also serves as a quasi-level ranger. He joined Lu Si'an's guard team with the identity of this ranger.

After a few days, this guy didn't have any abnormalities, but Colin and Hathaway still felt that there was a problem. It is impossible for him to hide his identity just by meeting a hired guard. However, Colin and Hathaway are not worried. With the two of them, Lu Si'an will be able to arrive in Cambry safely.

Colin and the two who were keeping a close eye on Hobbs finally discovered his abnormality when they were resting in a small town. For more than ten days, everyone usually didn't go out every night when they rested. Now Hobbs sneaked out with his "superior" strength. There must be something fishy.

"Let's go, let's follow him and see." Colin and Hathaway said softly.

Hathaway nodded, didn't answer, but still kept up with Colin's pace.

More than half an hour later, Hobbs left the town and arrived near a hill, seemingly waiting for something.

Colin and Hathaway relied on their strength to be stronger than Hobbs, and after performing the invisibility spell, they stared at Hobbs from a distance to see what he was doing.

Not long after, some strange noises came from a distance, and Hobbs also echoed the ventriloquist sounds, and then two people came out from the opposite side.

"How is it? Is there anything valuable?" The man asked Hobbs.

"I bribed one of Lu Si'an's guards these days, and after questioning him, I found out that what he was selling this time was not fur at all. Although that thing is valuable, it is not worth much. He was actually transporting property to the family for Earl Blake, the lord of Ricodo City."

"These damn nobles, I don't know how much they have embezzled. They won't even steal the money earned by the brothers."

"It's hard to say. The brothers' monthly salaries are still paid on time. I guess even if the accounts are checked, nothing can be found."

"What kind of property is Blake transporting that needs to be concealed? It must be from an illegal source. When."

"I don't know about this. I observed that in addition to the guards who originally followed Lu Si'an, he hired a dozen guards. The others were fine, but there was a couple who gave me a dangerous feeling. Do you want to do it?"

"Why not? I will inform you of the specific ambush location after I'm done. It would be best if I could charm a few people and relieve the pressure."

"Okay, I understand. It's getting late today. You should set a location early so that I can act according to the situation."

Seeing that Hobbs and the visitor had basically finished talking, Colin and Hathaway quickly evacuated and returned to the town.

"I didn't expect that no matter what plane, there would be such a dark thing. Is this a conflict between the nobles and the military soldiers?" Colin and Hathaway said.

"It looks like it won't be long before Hobbs's accomplices take action."

"I don't care who is right or wrong. We must first ensure that Lu Si'an arrives safely in Cambry, so that we can integrate into Cambry with his help, so that our identity will be more legal."

"If you want to protect Lu Si'an, it's best to wait until most of his guards are dead before you do it, so that the benefits can be maximized, and Lu Si'an will be more grateful to us."

The two who were able to get to level two had already thrown away some ridiculous compassion. In the face of benefits, sometimes there was no time to think about what was right or wrong, not to mention that the two were now shouldering important tasks, and Colin and the others didn't want to make any mistakes.

In the following days, Colin and Hathaway kept a closer eye on Hobbs, but they didn't tell Lu Si'an what they found.

Lu Si'an was calm, and there was nothing unusual along the way, as if he was really transporting a few trucks of furs to sell, and he didn't worry about anything at all. Maybe in his mind, he already had a lot of guards, enough to deal with various risks on the road.

As for his original family guards, Colin and his team did not find anything unusual except for the one bribed by Hobbs.

That night, Colin and his team passed through another small town. As soon as they arrived at the hotel where they were going to stay, Colin found some clues. Although the tavern looked relatively clean, there was still a faint smell of blood.

"Hey, old Tony, have the guys in your store changed? How come I haven't seen these guys before?" Although Lu Si'an did not find anything unusual about Hobbs and the family guards, he was very familiar with the resting places along the way. This time, he found a small abnormality in this hotel as soon as he came here.

"Yeah, it's too hard to hire a guy now. One of them changed to another because of low salary, one said he had something to do at home, and another offended the tourists and was driven away by me. Now, I have no choice but to hire a few more. I can't stop operating, otherwise what will I eat." Old Tony said with a slightly changed expression.

Lu Si'an didn't notice that Old Tony's expression was abnormal, but Colin and Hathaway found it at once, "It seems there are traces of puppetry." Hathaway whispered in Colin's ear.

Hobbs behind wanted to hear what Hathaway and Colin said, but although he was not far away, he couldn't hear it clearly at all. Similar to Colin and Hathaway, Hobbs was also paying attention to Colin and the others, fearing that they would ruin their business.

"Oh, so, then hurry up and prepare some food, I have to travel tomorrow morning." Lu Si'an said.

After seeing Lu Si'an enter the hotel and sit down without any doubt, and his guards also sat down separately, the inn owner Old Tony had no way to deal with it.

He was controlled. Although he didn't have much friendship with Lu Si'an, he had traveled back and forth along this route many times, so he was considered an acquaintance. It wasn't that Old Tony had to help Lu Si'an, but his three buddies had been killed. If he hadn't been of some use to that group of people, he would not have escaped the fate of being killed.

Now that Lu Si'an was here, he would definitely have a conflict with that group of people. After the conflict, no matter which side won, he seemed to have no way to survive. This was so worrying. The only slight expression he had just now was not noticed by Lu Si'an. Well, he might as well live for a while.
