Chapter 420 Bait and Predator
He had to leave secretly at dawn. There were too many people here. Who knew if there were cultists or soldiers bewitched by cults hiding among them?
The guards are no longer trustworthy. They collude with beastmen and wizards. Karis's gang realizes the truth with a life.
I won't make the same mistake again. Karis told himself.
Along with the empty confusion and panic, Karis's throbbing heartbeat gradually stabilized, and for some reason, his sleepiness was as high as ever.
Maybe it was because I was too busy during the trip, but it finally broke out at this time.
He just squinted for a while. Karis couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep as soon as his eyelids closed.
He seemed to be sitting by the fire. He had not rested by the fire for a long time. The warmest place on the road was an abandoned cellar in a deserted village. It was warm and suffocating.
Heat waves licked his cheeks again and again, and even the fatigue from the road melted away in the warmth.
Faintly, he saw a bright light. There seemed to be a tall figure standing in the bright light. It was as majestic as the sky and broader than the world.
It was hanging in the sky. Karis was shocked, he seemed to be next to the sun.
At first he thought that the pursuers had arrived and had cast magic, but he soon became relieved. Those cultists could not summon the sun.
The shadow in the sun looked down at Karis. Karis felt the light and heat to his heart's content. He couldn't help but recall the hunger and cold along the way, and couldn't help sniffing.
Maybe he will be overtaken tomorrow, maybe someone will kill him in this short nap, he is really at the end of his rope, maybe he should continue on his way, die under the evil moon, and wake up to meet his end.
Perhaps he is dead now, and the shadow in the sun is the spirit that greets him.
Thinking of this, Karis couldn't help crying silently. He hadn't sent the last letter to Selina yet. He still remembered the morning when he left the village with great ambition. He vowed to work hard outside to make a career. , and returned to the village to propose marriage to the Baron in a dignified manner.
Now that I think about it, this was a delusion from the beginning. Even if there was no sudden change, he would still be living in poverty outside.
What happens next? The culprits who are hunting them will sooner or later make their group of "fugitives" known to the entire empire, and they will eventually have nowhere to escape.
Karis didn't even dare to escape to Talabheim to see his relatives for the last time.
Along with the crying, Karis recounted his life in detail, confessing to unknown gods from time to time. However, the figure in the light and heat became clearer and clearer. When Karis noticed that it was getting closer and closer to him, , mankind has finished telling this story.
At this time, he also completely saw the monster in the sun, which was an upright crocodile with glowing colorful scales!
This was more ridiculous than a nightmare, a nightmare within a nightmare.
.
Lin Qi listened to the human talking to himself without any psychological burden. He didn't know why this hot-blooded species was crazy. As soon as he got closer, the young bastard started crying and talking about his own experience.
But the good times didn't last long. Like a nightmare, the guy who was talking in his sleep suddenly woke up.
Lin Qi left wisely because he got the information he wanted.
So Eugen had another task. He had to keep an eye on this hot-blooded species, which was Lynch's designated bait.
No matter what method is used, Eugen must ensure that he remains in the team.
At that time, those demonic cults wandering in the Midden Territory will take the initiative to arrive in front of Lynch one after another. This will save Lynch a lot of time. It is not easy to take the initiative to find them. When they emerge on their own, , everything is simple.
.
It was not a good experience for Eugen to be suddenly given a big responsibility. Obviously, he could not expect the lizard people to pay for it. He doubted that once the lizard people understood the concept of currency, Eugen would be immediately levied a protection fee. .
This is more convenient than grabbing money, because Eugen really needs comprehensive protection.
In order to continue this invisible protection, he had to pay more money to the dwarves to buy energetic dwarves to keep vigil.
He had no doubt that as soon as he let the damn young man escape, Lynch would kick him out of the team until he could find a new bait.
Eugen did not expect cold-blooded people to understand the ways of the world, so he was very restrained by not directly "blood-sacrifice Sotek".
Safe days are rare in this world. If you can rely on one more second, Eugen will naturally have to rely on one more second.
.
Ever since he woke up from the dream, Karis noticed a direct gaze staring at him.
With just a slight turn of his head, he could see the dwarf staring at him like a maniac.
Perhaps this was because the dwarf Karis, who was disguised as a demon, felt a little nervous inside.
Through cryptic conversations, he confirmed that there was indeed a dwarf here, and that this was not just his hallucination.
But why is he looking at himself like this?
.
"You must increase my reward. Listen, my friend, even if our friendship is more sacred than an anvil, you have to calculate the reward carefully." Thorian stared at the human designated by Eugen while pressing He spoke in a low voice, like a low growl.
"Of course, of course, but you have to lower your voice and be quiet!" Due to his eagerness, Eugen couldn't help but use a commanding tone, and by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
The dwarf suddenly turned his head and glared at him. Eugen even thought that Sorian would swing the hammer at him. Sweat instantly covered his forehead. He knew that if it were a stranger, the dwarf would have already taken action.
"Are you ordering me? Do you think you are the ruler of the Mountain Kingdom?"
You can say this to another more ancient being. Eugen secretly cursed, while externally he solemnly apologized to the dwarf.
"Of course not. Please forgive me for going too far. As compensation, I will triple your salary."
Eugen was not worried about money. Dwarves would always spend money on drinks. When the time came, he would only need to use his mouth to defraud the principal back from the vendors.
Oh, no, this is a legal and formal transaction. The cost of seeking divination should be expensive.
The evil moon illuminated the figures of two conspirators, one tall and one short. With an evil laugh, their deal was officially finalized.
.
They were probably not a pair of fools. Even though he knew that the prophet was the leader and protector of the entire caravan, Karis couldn't help but think so.
The doctor was worried about the future, so he approached an unattended campfire and warmed his hands with the help of the flame alone.
He didn't know where his companions who had shared life and death were now, or whether they were still alive. He just hoped that his companions would die happily. The people who chased them were not good people, and they would be brutally tortured. was inflicted on the victim.
