As the young witch uttered the words Heatheren, she was quenching her thirst with the only not-so-suspicious-looking sweet wine on the table — he wasn't worried about toxins or anything like that anyway—and then he reacted to the name very appropriately: spraying the wizard across the table in the face.Well, there is no face, after all, most of the other party's face is covered by a hood, but Hao Ren still feels quite uneasy......
"Ahem, I'm sorry." ”He waved his hand to the wizard opposite him in apology, and the other party was surprisingly generous, just silently wiping his face without any words.Then Hao Rencai turned his head to look at the young witch who looked like a girl: "You said that the arrested witch is named Heatherian?"
”Before the young witch could speak, Lady Mary had already roared angrily: "Helen!
How can you say this at will?!
”"Mary, watch your attitude," the young witch did not seem to have any fear of Lady Mary, and her tone sounded as if she were on an equal footing with the other, "you have no more say here than I do.Besides, I didn't say anything about it, the wizard had already investigated the clue himself, I just told him the truth, I don't make lying a habit like you. ”"And we're short of manpower right now," another pale-faced, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and her voice sounded hoarse and cold as if it were coming from an ice cave, "a wizard who is good at fighting, and there is also a pure-blooded (what do you mean here?)
）Werewolf Lady, at least not enemies – especially when we're dealing with a common enemy. ”Lady Mary stared at the two witches, the veins in her neck snaking like poisonous snakes, but in the end she calmed down, and the young witch named Helen looked at Hao Ren curiously: "Wizard, do you know Hethiana?"
”Hao Ren was also seriously looking at the woman named Helen, who looked like a young woman with long brown hair, with a lovely face, bright blue eyes and thin lips, and although she was wearing a witch's robe, she could still see that her figure was full of charm, and it was difficult to associate her with those gloomy and eccentric witches who nestled in a dirty wooden house and boiled potions.This appearance was most likely disguised, but Hao Ren couldn't help but take a closer look, and tried to remember if Hethanna had a subordinate with a similar temperament to Helen: vampires were quite easy to disguise as wizards, and with their superb magic skills, they were even several times easier to disguise as wizards than Hao Ren.Hearing Helen's inquiry, Hao Ren quickly weighed it and made an uncertain expression: "I do know a ...... named Hether Anna Friend, but the guy I'm talking to about is just a name, and the guy I know isn't a blood mage. ”Of course, the words "blood mage" in the mouths of these witches may not be the truth."
Yes, it should just be the same name, after all, we didn't know that Hethanna knew a wizard like you," Helen nodded, "Wizard, now that you know part of us, in exchange, should you tell us about you?"
”Hao Renxin said that he was a temporary traveler who traveled through time and space to make soy sauce, where did he still need to talk about professional ethics with you ancients who may have been dead for centuries, so he took out the holy silver short sword on his waist on the spot and said nonsense: "A few demon hunters may be approaching here." ”Sure enough, as soon as his "important information" was spoken, the witches at the scene suddenly fell silent, and even the hooded wizard who had been sitting across the table like a wooden man thinking about life moved imperceptibly, as if he felt uncomfortable just hearing the word witcher.No one made a sound, as if the witchers had arrived nearby, and any movement would alarm the hunters and lead to death."
Then what is your short sword......"
Lady Mary looked at Hao Ren's holy silver short sword in disbelief, her expression as if she had seen a ghost in the day."
Demon hunters are not invincible," Hao Ren continued, "I counter-killed one of them while I was being pursued by one of them, and this short sword can prove what I said. ”"Witchers never drop their weapons," the witch Helen whispered, "and unless they voluntarily relinquish control of their weapons, any lifeform that comes into contact with their enchanted weapons will be consumed by the power of the Holy Flame sealed within......
So the sword can't be stolen, the only explanation is that you actually killed a witcher. ”"Again, it's not that the demon hunters can't be killed, it's just that they are difficult to kill," Hao Ren shrugged, "Didn't they also die on the battlefield in pieces in the age of mythology?"
”The hellish expression on Lady Mary's face finally faded, but her tone was still thick with disbelief: "But this is not the age of mythology, and wizards are not the 'gods' of the past......
Ah, by the way, you have a helper. ”Only then did she set her eyes on Lily who was not far away: the husky girl was bored from the moment she came here, and she didn't have anything to do with her when she saw Hao Ren negotiating with the witches, so she kept sitting at the table and eating a lot, Hao Ren always felt that the food prepared by the witches was suspicious so she couldn't put her mouth shut, but a hungry husky didn't care about this, if it weren't for someone watching Lily at this time, I'm afraid she would have climbed on the table......
"Ah?
Call me?
”Noticing that there was a sight beside her, Lily raised her head and glanced at Lady Mary in a daze, "I'll talk about it when I'm done eating, eh, Mom, I've been running around all day during the day, and eating those two mouthfuls of dry food is not enough for me to stuff my teeth......
Hao Ren: "......
Werewolves are like this, straightforward......"
Lady Mary grimaced: "I know." ”"Ahem, let's talk about the witchers," Hao Ren continued, "the exact number of people is unknown, as I have only met one of them, but it is certain that he must have companions nearby, and I suspect that these witchers are coming for this city, as there is no other place to stay in the vicinity, and it seems that ......
A witch had just been caught in the city, so it was more likely that their target would be here. ”The witches didn't seem to have any surprise on their faces, except for the shock they had heard of the exact news of the witcher at first, as if they had expected such a day.The sickly look on the witch shook her head, "I didn't expect them to come so quickly, it seems that we have to speed up." ”"May I ask why you're gathered in this city?"
Hao Ren looked at the witches, "Just to save another witch?"
Or is it something else?
”"We've just said that we're seeking refuge from a large organization," Helen said, "that blood mage named Hethanna comes from a place called the City of Shadows, one of the few free city-states that can provide refuge to people like us.There, we are still free to study magic and communicate with other wizards without fear of the hunters and church knights who may appear at any time. ”Lady Mary has also regarded Hao Ren as a rare help at this moment, plus she may want to lure her through sufficient benefits.
Confused to pull the "wizard" in front of her into the gang, so she no longer hid anything: "It's just that the Shadow City is not open to strangers at will—like any shelter organization, they are also worried about getting involved, after all, there are too many weak guys who are scared by witchers and willing to become lackeys." ”Hao Ren's eyelids raised: "So you heard that a 'messenger' from the City of Shadows was arrested, and you think this is a good opportunity to introduce the letter?"
”Several witches said in unison: "What is a letter of introduction?"
”"Ahem......
Just to give you a recommendation," Hao Ren coughed dryly, "All in all, I am very interested in the 'Shadow City' you mentioned, if I can, I hope to act with you, and I think my partner will also be willing to help......"
He turned his head to look, and Lily looked up from the dining table: "What?"
”Hao Ren stubbornly continued: "Ahem, my partner must be willing to help too-you don't care about anything, just nod." ”Lily sighed and nodded.This time, consensus was easy.Hao Ren didn't expect that he was going to disguise himself as a witcher at the beginning, but in the end he would have to act as a wizard, and he could only sigh that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.After chatting with a few witches about magic and the current situation, he walked to the side and looked at the misty cemetery like a lonely wizard tired of gossiping—mainly because he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of these magic professionals, and he was worried that if he continued to talk nonsense, he might find that he didn't know any black magic at all: the knowledge about magic that he had managed to hold back was all that he heard when he was chatting with Vivien, and it was okay to talk a few words, but it was completely useless to really discuss it with others.And the hooded wizard who had always been silent stood up at this time and came to Hao Ren's side silently like a geist.Hao Ren turned his head to look at the hooded man: "I thought you were asleep sitting there." ”"I just don't like to talk, especially when a group of women are noisy."
The hooded man said in a low voice, this was the first time Hao Ren had heard each other's voices since they met."
Looking for me?"
Hao Ren frowned."
You're not interested in the City of Shadows," the hooded wizard was silent for a moment, then said bluntly, "You don't really want to help, you're looking for something else." ”This time, it was Hao Ren's turn to show a hellish expression.
