Alien world

Chapter 306 159. A Prisoner

A scout rustling from a bush brought back a piece of fresh bark.The knight captain showed a complicated expression.

"This is the mark of the Knights...meaning 'was' stationed here."

And this piece of bark is bare with fresh fibers.

"On the bright side, they might just be corrupted by the Ratman, which is not uncommon in the southern battlefield."

"...There is no evidence that it is them."

Maybe they happened to be stationed here, maybe they were after the murderer, maybe they had to...

There are three knight orders stationed in the royal city: the Imperial Guard Knights belong to the royal family, the Golden Lion Knights belong to the nobles, and the Retinue Knights belong to the Holy Grail Knights.

The No.15 Holy Grail Knight Kleb Frankel Perkins took away nearly half of the members of the Retinue Knights when he went to the border, and only the Guard Knights and Golden Lion Knights were still active.The cavalry squad following Annan came from the latter.

Those stationed in the forest are the former.

"Have you been discovered by them?" Annan received no reply from the scouts, "Then let them discover you."

Annan had the team pretend to be passing by without seeing them.As the protagonist of the first magic video in another world, Annan taught the knights how to act and approached the cavalry station.

First, the scouts discovered each other, and then the opposing knight captain came out to verify.The cavalry proved Annan's origins, and Annan and the others proved the origins of the cavalry.

This squad of Knights of the Imperial Guard said that they had accepted a secret mission and would be stationed in the forest for a period of time.

"what about you?"

"We have accepted the mission to send the nobles to Rongguang County..." Mage Aemon replied.Annan is that nobleman.

"Go this way?"

"There will be ratmen outside..."

The young and handsome captain thought for a while: "The dark forest is not safe, and there are still ghostly elves. I suggest you start again during the daytime tomorrow." Then he "kindly" distributed half of the camp to them.

Annan secretly instructed Cavalier Captain Maureen to agree to him, and they entered the camp.There is no trace of corruption, nor any malice, and no one will associate them with corrupt knights.

The Cavalier Captain breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was just a coincidence.

"Everyone takes turns keeping vigil tonight." Maureen paused slightly, "Keep a distance from the Knights of the Imperial Guard."

Dusk fell, and then they built fires and cooked food, which was purified by Mage Aemon and distributed to the knights.

Annan didn't rest. As the well-known nemesis of the Ratman in Prang's Ensign County, he was searching for clues of the Ratmen...but the Knights of the Guards were really clean.

In the quiet forest late at night, only the chirping of insects, Annan sat outside the tent, listening to the sound of the forest.

At a certain moment, Annan felt the breath of nature in this peace.

Annan left his seat, and the dozing mage Aemon opened his eyes: "Where are you going?"

"I sense something outside the camp..."

"I'm with you."

"No. Don't worry, the most powerful person in this team is me."

The holy grail knight's protection and teleportation scroll can't protect himself, so he just raised his hands and surrendered to the rat man.

Holding the magic lamp, Annan left the camp following the traces of natural breath, away from the gaze of the camp guards, and stood in the quiet forest.

The looming observation resurfaced.Could be an elf, or a druid.

Annan first imitated the etiquette of the tree-man druid and signaled to the depths of the dark forest, but there was no response, and then changed to the etiquette of the elves.

woohoo-

The wind blows the treetops, bringing whispers that are difficult to discern: "Why do you know the etiquette of moon elves and druids?"

"My friends taught me, they are elves and druids."

"friend?"

"That's right, my friend... do you know Irilandzer?"

"Then... Why do human beings with status break into our forest?"

"A group of corrupt knights committed many slaughters in the human territory. We have pursued this far...No offense intended, have you found any suspicious existence close to the forest?"

"you."

"Except us... at least the knights who came first." Annan shook his head, drawing a line between them and the guard knights. "Beautiful and noble elves, don't you really know?"

"...I only know that you humans were stationed in the forest with a prisoner before."

"You mean they took prisoners?"

Annan couldn't think of a reason why they did this, but the prisoner should be able to know something.

"Thank you, you helped me a lot!" Before returning to the camp, Annan reminded the elves: "You better beware of the ratmen...they are not far from here."

The breeze blew, and the surroundings were silent.

Annan returned to the camp and told the knight captain and Aemon the mage who woke up and waited for him.

"They didn't tell me about the prisoner," said the knight captain.

"So we should infiltrate... Is there any way you can keep me from being detected?"

"Advanced invisibility. Their team is the same as ours, and they won't find out." The bad news is that Aemon will be extremely weak after forcibly releasing the advanced invisibility, and cannot cast spells today.

"It's ok."

Annan opened the first portal today: large elements appeared in the tent one after another through the portal.

"Leave it to me," said the knight captain.His reason was that he was better at infiltrating than Annan, but Annan refused on the grounds that "I have the confidence to solve them when they are found".

Mage Aemon knocked off the blue spar on the staff, replaced it with a gray white spar, and then cast the advanced invisibility technique.

At the cost of Master Aemon's weakness and the spar turning into powder, Annan's figure disappeared in the tent.

……

In the tent patrolled and guarded by the guards, the old mage, who was bound in a cage and covered with scars, bowed his head.Only the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

Salsa -

The slight sound of rubbing did not disturb the guards scattered on both sides of the tent, but only made the old mage in the cage raise his head.

The dust in front of me formed an upside-down vocabulary: "Who are you?"

"A foolish temptation..."

The old mage grunted indistinctly, showing broken teeth.

The guards remained unmoved, as if they were used to the old mage cursing day and night.

"Why did they catch you?"

The old mage's ridicule gradually subsided, he didn't know what he was thinking, and wrote with the same upside down.

Annan suddenly caught a glimpse of the guard raising his head from the corner of his eye. He wiped the handwriting hastily, and as soon as he covered the second line, the old mage raised his leg to cover the trace.

The strange movement attracted the attention of the guards. They came to the cage, stared at the bowed old mage, pulled out their long swords, reached into the cage and opened the mage's robe.

The words "Who are you" are presented in front of them.His companion drew out his long sword, and the guard continued to remove the mage's robe, and a new writing appeared on the ground: idiot.
