Chapter 118 Infiltration

【.No matter what you want to do, you have half an hour, and leave when the time is up, otherwise you will go to accompany those humans for me. 】

The three trolls nodded in agreement, and quickly followed Tang Zhao's instructions to find a rope, but Tang Zhao didn't let the trolls tie up people, because one of them was seriously injured, and he might die if left alone.

Even if he hadn't been hit hard, the human had broken several bones, and he had fallen into a coma at this time, and it seemed that there was no good luck.

【You can treat him before you leave. I won’t provide any extra things before you arrive. However, our destination has enough medical treatment. Whether we can make it there depends on luck and whether he wants to live. 】

As the chief culprit, Tang Zhao doesn’t feel much guilt. He thinks he’s not a bad guy, but he’s far from being a bad guy. The battlefield is where you live and die. Swords have no eyes, and death there can only be luck. No, he wouldn't keep his hand at such a fatal moment, that would be a disrespect for his own life and the lives of his comrades-in-arms.

The soldier who dropped his weapon first took a deep look at Tang Zhao, didn't say anything nonsense, and immediately began to try to treat his teammates' injuries.

With an absolute advantage in speed, Tang Zhao was not afraid that the opponent would run away. He lay on the ground beside the adventurers and watched them work quietly.

After a few minutes of rest and adjustment, Tang Zhao called the caster and began to question him.

[Tell me, what do you know about scrolls? 】

The skinny caster took a cautious look at Tang Zhao: "I told you everything, will you let me go?"

Tang Zhao simply shook his head, expressing his refusal.

【I can't let you go, but I can guarantee your safety. When I hold you, your life will not be in danger. 】

The skinny caster was silent for a few seconds, took a final breath, and nodded emphatically.

"It's the way it is."
-
The caster's scroll wasn't given to him by the hobgoblin, but the harvest of an adventure, from a gnoll leader.

As an academy-educated spellcaster, his knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of the old and crude fighters. He can tell at a glance that this is something from the devil's side.

However, this spellcaster committed a common problem that many spellcasters would commit—arrogance, thinking that he could take advantage of the communication with the devil without affecting himself.

For some spellcasters who are powerful enough to make the demon lords fearful, communicating with the demons of the abyss may be a common thing, and they themselves will not suffer much negative impact.

But for the vast majority of spellcasters, even if they contract a weak quasimo, the influence from the bottomless abyss will make them more and more inclined to the evil camp, which is unavoidable.

But to be honest, he has a better understanding of scrolls than the muddle-headed trolls.

He discovered that killing around the scroll can increase the energy intensity contained in the scroll, which can then feed back the scroll holder and enhance their strength.

The desire for great power is common and well understood, and the human spellcaster decided, of course, to collect more scrolls for his own use.

After a period of investigation, there are occasional sellers of this kind of thing on the black market, but it is very popular, and it will be bought as soon as it is circulated. In terms of financial resources, this spell caster is not very strong, and he cannot compete with others at all.

In desperation, he could only issue a commission at the Adventurer's Guild, and hire someone to go hunting with him in the forest to snatch the scroll from the powerful creature.Unexpectedly, he ran into Tang Zhao just a few days after entering the forest.

At first, the caster thought about grabbing the scroll, but before he could make up his mind, he was discovered and captured alive.

Some details and nonsense are omitted, and things are generally like this.

[Humans are buying these scrolls. I don’t know if they are in collusion with other races, but it is clear that the hobgoblins and demons are planning something. 】

There are some ideas in his mind, but Tang Zhao still needs to take this person to meet Lorraine and the elves, so that they understand magic.

[Personal suggestion, during the time you are on your way, you can think about all kinds of things that have happened recently, we are very concerned about the scroll in your mouth. 】

After leaving such a sentence, Tang Zhao left the caster in place and went to find the trolls.

The appointed time had come, and the trolls simply came to Tang Zhao with unsteady steps and stood by.

They also held a leg of lamb in their hands, and Tang Zhao was quite speechless after seeing their reluctance.

Let one of the trolls carry the wounded humans whose life or death is unknown, and the other two serve as front and rear guards, responsible for watching these humans tied by the reins.

After everything was ready, the team set off, and the group retreated to the settlement in northern Insula.

It seems unreliable, those human adventurers are only bound by crude reins, if they want to run, it is not very difficult.However, Tang Zhao was not too worried, because he adopted the continuous sitting system here, if one person ran away, the rest of the people who failed to run would be worse than death.
-
The team moved forward smoothly. He had already cleaned it up when he came before, and there were no enemies on the road.

That night, Tang Zhao and the others arrived at the settlement.

Although there were many things that were still unclear, the elves didn't need Tang Zhao to say anything after they heard about the demon scroll, and they volunteered to take over the rest.

After finishing the work at hand, Tang Zhao, who was covered in bruises, planned to rest for a day or two before dealing with other matters.

The most important thing was the matter of the human wounded man. He miraculously made it to the destination, and his body was immediately sent to the goblins to receive the best possible medical treatment.

So far, the lives of the wounded human beings have been saved. As for more things, Tang Zhao can't guarantee them for the time being.

All these things were done in the goblin settlement in the forest. No human being entered the fortress in the mountain. That place is still a secret, and it will remain so until it is built. He will not show the place to outsiders.

The remaining human adventurers are actually a bit difficult for him to deal with—it’s too exaggerated to kill them directly, and it’s useless to keep them.

After thinking about it, Tang Zhao didn't lock up these people, but just asked them to herd sheep, and they had to wait until the truth came to light before they could leave.

Every time, half of the people had to stay in the settlement. If the sheep herders left the flock and ran away while working, the remaining humans would be punished.

Right is the punishment after losing. Human beings can still accept this result. They are just worried about repentance, but now they really have no right to worry. They can only do what they want, otherwise they may live. Not later.
