Broad World

Early the next morning, Cynthia received an order from Borken to go to the mage tower in the city to get a very important thing - "The Core of the Secret Law", which can provide the entire floating city with a continuous energy artifact.

"It's really strange, why did the master choose me?" She couldn't figure out the situation at all, and racked her brains all the way but couldn't find a convincing reason.

Of course, no matter what, this job made all the other mages look envious, jealous, and hateful. Everyone knows what the core of the arcane means, and even some scheming guys spread rumors everywhere, saying that she relied on Climbed onto the bed of Borken, the chief engineer, in exchange for his current status.

But Cynthia knew very well that although Borken admired her beauty very much, she had never thought about it. Otherwise, with her current strength, she would have no room for resistance except obedient obedience.

"Ahhhhh! Don't care!" Cynthia suddenly stopped, standing on the street and scratching her long light blue hair. "Anyway, this is the end of the matter, it's good to have a closer look at this treasure."

Her nervous movements immediately attracted the attention of passers-by. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and unique charm, many people's hearts beat faster in an instant, and admiration appeared in her eyes.

"Oh...damn it! I couldn't control my strength." She quickly noticed the changes around her, covered her mouth subconsciously, and ran away without saying a word. When he realized it, Blink disappeared at the end of the street.

"It's really interesting, a silly girl who is naturally stupid can also become a mage? I really doubt if she was kissed by the goddess of magic. Such a person can also become a spy? I still think that Miss Serena who was silenced is the real yellow bird."

In a house on the corner of the street, the dark elf girl Vilva saw everything in her eyes, curled her lips in disdain, and her face was full of contempt. She even thought that Cynthia's personality would be born in the Underdark. He will be played to death by his compatriots in minutes, let alone become a spy.

Robert, who was hiding in a dark corner, frowned: "It's very strange, the breath she exudes is like devils and demons that lure mortals to fall, but she is so naive in thinking, is there really such a person in this world? "

As a divine dragon and a legendary thief, he could tell at a glance that Cynthia's performance just now had no element of acting at all, and it was all the truest thoughts in his heart.

"Hey! It doesn't matter, anyway, the boss has spoken, and today I will take her back and torture her no matter what. When the torture equipment is put on, I will naturally get the answer." Huelva moved his fingers eagerly. I intend to do it myself.

As one of the few people trained by the guild, she has almost learned all the skills and means of thieves, and it is natural that she will be tortured.

"No, don't worry, just observe for a while and see if she will contact other people after she gets the secret magic core." After speaking, Robert ignored the reaction of the dark elf girl, and went straight into the shadows to chase away. Cynthia.

"Whatever, anyway, even if this woman gets the core of the secret law, she won't pose any threat." Velva shrugged indifferently. Also follow into the stealth state and follow closely behind.

Professionally trained thieves moved much faster than normal people, and without much effort, the two of them locked on the target one from the left and the other from the right. As long as the situation is found to be wrong, a deadly assassination can be launched immediately, especially Robert and Velva have the ability to use magic items and scrolls, coupled with the various "gadgets" they carry, even Henry will feel a burst of pain Headache.

You must know that in Faerun Continent, unless you transform yourself into a special form, even a legendary professional is still a mortal body, and you will die if your heart is pierced or your head is cut off. That's why powerful assassins are feared.

Cynthia didn't realize that she was being targeted, and happily hummed country tunes all the way to the door of the mage's tower.

"Excuse me, is anyone there? I am here to get the core of the secret method under the order of Master Borken." She knocked on the door hard and shouted.

Not long after, a row of numbers on the door suddenly began to spin and jump crazily, until the original messy numbers all turned into zeros before there was a click, followed by a creak and it slowly opened.

Undoubtedly, the insane ten-digit password is still kept here, but it is for the convenience of entry and exit. Temporarily changed to ten zeros.

"Come in, the core of the secret method is placed in the hall on the third floor, and you can leave after you get it." A slightly old voice echoed at the entrance.

Cynthia stepped over the threshold carefully and looked around, only to find that the lobby on the first floor was empty, let alone people. Not even a guard golem. After she yelled a few words in a low voice and found that no one was paying attention to her anymore, she gradually became more courageous. Walk a little in the direction of the stairs.

Although the girl was a little dumbfounded, she still knew how dangerous it would be to run wild in the mage tower, so she climbed to the third floor in one breath according to the instructions of the voice just now.

As soon as she stepped out of the stairs, she instantly saw a dazzling sphere floating in the air, as if all the magic nets in the entire space had been strengthened.

"Wow! So this is the core of the secret method! It's so beautiful!"

Like all women, Cynthia's first reaction was not to lament its great strength, but to praise the beautiful aura it emitted.

Perhaps as a scholar said, women and dragons are similar in personality, and they hate shining jewels and gold coins the most, so you must stay away from them when they are crazy, otherwise...

It's a pity that this scholar's words disappeared completely before he finished writing. Some people said that he offended a certain dignitary and was killed in his room, while others said that a certain dragon thought he was too talkative and was directly eaten alive .

Holding the "Secret Magic Core" happily for a long time, Cynthia took out a dark red box from her pocket, gently put the sphere in it, covered it and put it close to her body, then she was slightly relieved, and stepped on the road back to the construction site with great strides. road.

Standing on the top floor of the mage tower, Tyrantier pointed to the back of the female mage and asked: "This is the oriole you mentioned? Her soul looks purer than a newborn baby. How could she be a spy?" "

Facing the old mage's question, Henry couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "I also think it's a little strange, but I trust my intuition more than the evidence. Don't you think it's very strange for a mixed-blood water goblin to show such a powerful charm ability?" Is it strange?"

"But you shouldn't arrest her and put her to death just because of suspicion! Remember, the stronger the power, the more you must strictly abide by the bottom line, otherwise you will soon completely fall into evil." Tyrantier said very seriously. warned.

As a member of the good camp, he obviously didn't want to see his most outstanding disciple become an unscrupulous villain, so he persuaded him with words, otherwise he wouldn't care.

"Master, I understand this truth better than anyone else, and I have always adhered to the principle of absolute neutrality. But this time is different, my enemy is too powerful, so I must use some extraordinary means. Don't worry, I will talk to her first. Let's have a good talk, and never use torture unless necessary."

Henry understood that the old mage was doing it for his own good, so after thinking about it for a while, he decided to get in touch first. After all, after Cynthia got the secret core just now, she didn't show any greed or desire to destroy it. Now he also has some doubts, whether his intuition is wrong.

Tyrantier nodded with satisfaction: "This is the best way. Violence and intimidation are not the best way to communicate between people. Maybe sometimes a little gentleness will have unexpected gains."

"It's very philosophical, but I think the most direct and violent method is more effective to deal with those evil lunatics. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Otherwise, with Robert's efficiency, the girl will be arrested immediately. They will be subject to professional torture and interrogation."

After Henry finished speaking, he bowed slightly, activated the teleportation magic, and disappeared in place in an instant. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter, as if someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

At the same time, Cynthia, who had just left the Mage Tower, was attacked by surprise. Under the simultaneous attack of Robert and Velva, she didn't even understand what was going on. Her eyes went dark for an instant, and then she didn't know anything. .

Without saying a word, the dark elf girl quickly took out the "Secret Magic Core" from her pocket, and after confirming that the treasure had not been dropped, she said with a disdainful smile: "Look, I said that she absolutely cannot be Spy. With such poor spellcasting ability and reaction speed, it is not even as good as an experienced adventurer."

"Okay, it may be that the master has misjudged her this time. But to be on the safe side, I'd better take her back to the secret base first, and see if I can dig out some information." As he spoke, Robert picked up the prisoner and went straight to the nearest stronghold. run away. With his dragon-like physique, even if he was carrying someone on his back, he didn't feel any burden at all, and he left Huelva behind in the blink of an eye.

"Damn! Is there such a big gap in strength between us?!" Velva cursed in a low voice, staring at the back of the thief leader who was slowly disappearing.

Ever since she came back from the Underdark, she felt that her strength had improved a lot. Even if she still couldn't beat Robert, she would definitely be able to hold on for at least ten minutes. But now it seems that it is estimated that the opponent can make him lose his fighting power with just one blow.

As the two attackers left, a person suddenly appeared from the shadow of the corner, it was the assassin who killed Serena not long ago.

I saw him looking at the direction Cynthia left, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and muttered to himself: "Hehe, have you finally started to act? It seems that I have to prepare a bit, and after they torture me, I can wake up the real oriole .”

After speaking, he jumped into the shadows again without hesitation, without leaving any smell or trace, as if he had never appeared before.

If Henry was here at this moment, he would find that this assassin has been closely connected with the shadow plane, and he can travel freely at any time as long as he wants to. He is simply the most terrifying assassination expert. (to be continued ~^~)
