Chapter 101 Coincidence?

A few days later, at noon.

Li He rode a black horse and appeared on a road northeast of Lunsa City.

After driving for a while, a small inn appeared beside the road, and in the distance, shadowy hills appeared and began to enter the mountainous area.

Li He rode on the horse and thought for a moment, then jumped off the horse and walked towards the hotel.

A sharp-eyed hotel staff came out to greet him, exchanged a few simple words, welcomed Li He in, and then led the horse hitch to the stable to feed fine feed.

Li He stepped into the hotel, scanned his eyes, and found that the interior was fairly clean, ordered some food, and found a secluded seat to sit down.

After a while, the steaming food was served, Li He stopped the fat chef who was about to leave after serving the dishes, and said, "I have something, I want to ask."

"This..." The fat chef hesitated, "Sir, the back kitchen still has a lot of work to do... If I'm lazy and the boss finds out, I might be fined..."

"A silver coin, is it enough for him to punish?" Li He flipped his hand, and a silver coin appeared, held between his fingertips, and asked the fat man.

"Silver coins?! Enough, enough, what do you ask?" The fat man said quickly, his tone was a lot more respectful, with a flattering smile on his pie-like face, his eyes were almost squeezed out.

"Going north from here, there's a place called Hester Village, right?"

"Yes." The fat man nodded quickly, keeping his eyes on the silver coin in Li He's hand, and then realized something, his expression changed and he asked solemnly, "Sir, do you want to go there too?"

"Also?" Li He grasped the key words in the fat man's words, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, there are others?"

"Yes." The fat man said quickly, "Not long ago, a group of people left our hotel and went to Hester Village."

After a pause, the fat man kindly persuaded: "Sir, if there is nothing important, I advise you not to go to that Hester village."

"why?"

"That village is weird."

"Strange? What kind of weird method?"

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. Anyway, everyone said so. Everyone said that their village was extremely closed and sneaky, and they hardly had contact with outsiders. And outsiders, except for the tax collector who occasionally visited their village, None of them went there, I heard there was some kind of curse."

"Curse?" Li He's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to think.

After thinking for a moment, he threw the silver coin to the fat chef, who caught it with a smile on his face, and quickly slipped into the back kitchen, lest Li He would regret it.

Naturally, Li He would not go back on his word, thinking about what the fat chef said, he simply ate something, didn't stop much, went out, got on his horse, and ran towards his destination.

Walking along the mountain road and turning several turns, the trees on both sides of the road became thicker, and the thick branches and leaves stretched out from time to time on the road, which increased the difficulty of passing.

Li He walked forward cautiously, after a while, the trees on both sides of the road suddenly became thinner, and the road became wide open.

Stopping at a fork in the road, Li He glanced at the street signs, and found that the road on the left leads to the outside of the mountain, and the road on the right leads to Hester Village.

On the road leading to Hester Village, there are dense horseshoe prints, and it seems that a large group of people has just passed by.

Is it the group of people mentioned by the fat chef in the hotel?

Thoughts flashed in Li He's mind: If what the fat chef said was true, people would not like Hester Village, and no one would visit for no reason.In this way, the purpose of so many people going to Hester Village is definitely not pure. Maybe, like him, the purpose is the treasure left by the Blood Witch.

And those who are interested in the blood witch's treasure, except for those who desire wealth, are wizard apprentices.

Could it be the latter?But isn't the continent where the Fornalenza Kingdom is located, a land of oblivion? Where did so many people come from?

Thinking about it, Li He kicked the horse's belly to make the horse move forward quickly.

"Tap, tap..."

The speed of the horses increased, and they approached the so-called Hester Village in a short time.

When the outline of the village appeared in the field of vision, Li He also saw a group of eight or nine people appearing in front.

He observed carefully, and with the help of his improved eyesight, he saw clearly that there were nine people in total, five men and four women, all of whom were young and looked less than 20 years old, wearing black, red or blue robes, with It's a bit mysterious, with decorations that seem to be magical items on the wrists and necks.

Really the Sorcerer's Apprentice?
Li Hyuk kept approaching, and gradually heard the other party's faint conversation.

"This time we left the mission to come here to explore... what kind of treasure, will nothing happen?"

"What's the matter? This is not in the academy. We...do we have to do everything according to the requirements?"

"Okay, everyone, don't... worry too much, our affairs will not be discovered, we can explore with peace of mind and find a way to find the treasure. I can tell you... the treasure is real, and there are treasures hidden in it. Even if we don't use high-end things, we can sell them in exchange for other resources and help us to be promoted to wizards.

We... are not very qualified, this is a rare opportunity for us.But don't be too careless, there must be many dangers in the treasure, we must be careful, and because of this, we must unite.No matter... whether it belongs to a wizard force or not, since we have found this place according to the clues, how about we work together and distribute the contents fairly when the time comes? "

"We have no problem, as long as...you don't play any tricks, we certainly won't."

"So do we."

"That's good……"

Li He was getting closer and closer on his horse, and the people in front of him noticed that they all stopped their horses and took a closer look.

One of the round-faced boys, about eighteen or nineteen years old, carefully looked at Li He's whole body, rode close to him, and asked, "Could it be that you are also a sorcerer's apprentice who came to find the blood witch's treasure?"

"Yes." Li Hyuk nodded, and at the same time, based on the other party's questioning, he had confirmed the identity of the other party's group.

"That's a coincidence, we are all too, come with us, one more person and more strength." The round-faced boy smiled, with an overly polite face, and introduced himself, "My name is Frank, and I am the shadow How about you, a second-level wizard apprentice at the academy?"

School of Shadows, Frank?

When Li He heard this, his heart moved slightly.

Hale, who once killed, seems to have said that he is a member of the Academy of Shadows.

And the name Frank seems to have been mentioned in Hale's diary.It was the other party who provided Hale with information about the Blood Witch's treasure, and made Hale search frantically after arriving in Fornerenza, but found nothing. He expressed his anger in the diary and vowed to go back and make Frank look good.Unexpectedly, after dying in the forest, Frank appeared here instead.

According to Hale's diary and the analysis of Frank's appearance here, the other party probably knew the correct location of the treasure, but deliberately deceived Hale.

Hale is not a simple person, and the other party dared to deceive Hale, which shows that he has some means and scheming.

But the other party warmly invited him to explore together, and listening to the other party just now, the other party also invited two other people from the wizarding force to join him.

Speaking of which, people from four places gathered here at the moment.

Coincidentally or not, let alone.

Frank is so passionate about bringing everyone together to explore the treasure, it's hard to tell if he's trying to calculate something.

Instead of being afraid, he felt a little interesting, wanting to see how much Frank knew about the treasure, and what plan was hidden in his mind.

Interesting... Li He said in his heart.
