Wizard From Afar

Silverhelm Mountain Fortress, a forest outside Byrne Barracks, late at night.

Silver hook is slanted westward, and through the shade of the trees, you can faintly see the white barriers under the night and the siege positions behind you. The increasingly cold weather also makes people sober.

Leaning against the tree trunk behind him, Loren at this moment is completely dressed as a standard "night watchman" night watchman; Lu Sien behind him is proficiently lurking in the grass, alert to the surrounding movement.

Despite the sudden incident, the dwarves of Silverhelm Mountain still reacted very quickly-naked eye can be seen, there are silhouette hurried light spots everywhere on the city wall and the guard tower, under the six giant lighthouses, The entire fortress is like day.

On the hillside not far away, you can also see several large and small bright and dark whistles, not just the fortress itself, the sight range is almost blocked off the mountain, and you will be spotted as soon as you get close.

Loren is certain that as long as the three of them are close to the surveillance area of ​​the sentry tower, these "drenched" dwarves will be flooded with sky stone cannons and heavy crossbow arrows as they did during the day. Die yourself.

In short, it is impossible to get close to Silverhelm Mountain or even sneak in frontally without causing confusion or distracting the other party’s attention.

Of course, there is another kind of infiltration in this world, called "Everyone is killed by me, no one knows that I have infiltrated"...

Although it’s a bit of a ghost, it’s also One way-it is really like that, it is not as convenient to order the siege directly, why bother to sneak in?

Under the dim shade of the tree, after cautiously determined that there were no patrolling soldiers around, Paulis Mihailo turned around and walked in front of Loren and Lusien.

"It seems that the defenders of Silverhelm Mountain are already on alert, and there will be no more patrols coming out." While talking, the dwarf did not forget to look back and look more carefully. Shen said solemnly: "Duke Byrne, your plan during the day has worked, and they seem to really think you are planning to attack the city."

"But that's only for the moment, two days at most, they can break through this Under the guise." Loren looked at him faintly: "We have to find a way to enter the fortress before then."

"So, Paulis Mihai Mister Luo-you better make sure we It takes no more than two days from finding the tunnel and then crossing the entire tunnel into the fortress."

"I can guarantee this." The dwarf solemnly nodded: "I walked countless times in that tunnel. Second, even the map was memorized; every turn, every trap, every collapse, I remember clearly."

"If everything goes well, you will be able to stand at noon tomorrow On the floor of the Silverhelm Mountain Fortress."

Loren tugged at the corner of his mouth and answered indifferent expression to this.

"Of course, it may not go so smoothly-there are also many guys in the tunnel, just like the shack outside your imperial castle and the slums in big cities."

The dwarf's eyes flickered and his expression was very solemn: "These are called'exiles', mostly slave laborers or criminals who have taken on debts. In order to avoid punishment, they escaped into the mine and relied on rummaging through rubbish and past miners. The remaining supplies live."

"You don’t provoke these guys, and he won’t provoke you. Just ignore them when you see them. Don’t worry about telling the truth-no one will believe them. What they said, because they are all indebted and committed criminals, they are not as good as slaves."

"Wait." Lu Sien suddenly opened the mouth and said: "Bolis Sir, did you just say that you memorized the map?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

Loren couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the gray beside him. Hitomi boy.

"In that case, you just need to draw the map for us?" Lu Sien scratched his head and asked very confused: "Why must go in with us?"

p>

The dwarf turned his head silently, his indifferent expression made Lu Sien vigilantly pressed the hilt of his waist.

"First of all, the complexity of the underground tunnels of Silverhelm Mountain is beyond your imagination. You can't go out with a map alone." Paulis Mikhailo coldly snorted and said:

"Secondly, if I don’t come with me, how can your Excellency the Duke of Byrne believe the map I drew and not put him in any trap?"

"Your Duke doesn't trust me, so all of my nineteen men are hostages in your barracks-can you understand this explanation, Lord Captain, Duke Guard?"

Lusen complexion stiffened, the expression is very embarrassing.

"I never said I don't believe you, Lord Paulis Mikhailo." Loren raised his eyebrows, calmly opened the mouth and said: "Your brothers are not me either. The prisoners of the city, but the guests."

"I assure you with my personality that even if I have any accidents, they will not be harmed-this is not the Duke of Byrne, but the promise of Loren Torino. , I’m serious!"

The dwarf snorted coldly, turned his head sternly, and obviously dismissed this kind of rhetoric:

"Follow me."

Short and powerful words fell, and gestured towards the two behind him, and crouched forward slowly in the grass.

The corners of the mouth are a little helpless, black hair wizard follow closely from behind; Lu Sien, with a nervous face, has not forgotten to glance around and then cautiously followed along.

With the "internal response" of Paulis, the process of crossing the dwarven sentry blockade has become extremely easy, even simpler than Loren had imagined. You don’t even need to lie down, just like It's like going for a walk at night.

Paulis, who was walking in front, stopped for a while, turned around, slowed down, and trot faster...without any hesitation, his attention was not even on those sentry posts , Staring at up ahead attentively throughout the whole process.

The gray-eyed teenagers who followed spent the whole process in a panic, passing through the surveillance area in front of the guards several times in a row, rubbing shoulders with the sentries who turned around. And pass", not a single mistake.

Bolis Mihailo... Your Excellency the banner officer of the Silverhelm Mountain dwarves, seems to have a lot of secrets in him.

Loren walking behind stared silently at the back of the dwarf. His dark pupils were also observing the surrounding terrain, using the fortress and siege camp behind him as axes, guessing that he was standing now. s position.

After stopping and walking all the way and turning around, Loren and Lucien, who followed the dwarves, finally came to the foot of a very remote mountain near Silverhelm Mountain, one and a half sunken The dark cave in the ground appeared in front of them.

Lu Sien took the initiative to take a look, then took out the fluorite lamp he carried and probed inside, looking back with great uncertainty:

"Is it here?"

The dwarf shook his head, his expression is still military-like indifference: "This is just a naturally formed cave. It should have been formed when the support of a mine pit collapsed."

p>

"It was formed by the collapse?" The gray pupil's expression changed slightly: "Doesn't it mean that it may collapse at any time?"

"Yes, but this is also the entrance to only one ." The dwarf turned his head and turned his gaze coldly behind him: "Maybe as soon as we enter, it will collapse; by then, even if we are not buried alive, we will not be able to return the same way."

"So What do you say, Lord Duke?"

In the silent jungle at midnight, Loren slowly lifted the head and looked at the vigilant gray-eyed boy: "Lu Sien, are you afraid?"

"Of course not, it's nothing more than another giant dragon king city." took a deep breath, Lu Sien strong spirits, deliberately showing an indifferent expression:

"If I can carry Isaac Leaving Niederhogg with you, Silverhelm Mountain...it should be no different."

Thinking of Isaac, the black hair wizard couldn't help but licked his mouth.

That arrogant... Now Ba is like a real winner in life, still talking to Lena Desalion, right?

"Very well, it looks like we have reached a consensus." Smiling and getting up, Loren lightly patted the dust on his body: "Then let us pray to our respective beliefs and let them bless us not to die. Inside!"

Just as the three people were preparing to go down silently, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them, cold like a sharp sword in a dusty sheath, with every word in it. murderous aura.

"Faith, Loren·Torino...I didn’t even know that you also have faith?"
