Chapter 274 - Going with the flow (2/2)

”I've never heard of such a thing.” An adventurer said.

”Of course not, as I said, it's my own invention,” Lenny replied.

Knowing what they would be going up against, Lenny had made preparations beforehand, even if the Harpies weren't on high alert it was an effective method to use when dealing with a large group of beasts like this one.

A lot of the adventures in the group were sceptical of Lenny's words but there was one thing that made him trusted more than others. It was the fact that he was a mage. In their eyes, Mage's done all sorts of crazy things that just seemed impossible for humans to do.

”Let's say those little balls of yours work.” Rick said, ”How would we get close enough to use them, if the assassins were to throw them, I fear they too would get hurt by the same weapon.”

The group mumbled and talked about it once again then a grin appeared on Rick's face.

”Why don't we let the person who caused the trouble for us in the first place. Roy was it, why don't you go and throw these at their base for us.” Rick suggested.

The flow of the group was starting to change and it seemed like they were going with what Rick was suggesting. Rick was a mastermind when it came to understanding the thoughts of people, Roy had already caused them trouble and as long as it wasn't them, people were fine with the chance of one of them getting hurt.

Then an unexpected voice joined the discussion.

”I'll do it,” Martha said.

The group turned at looked at the young girl who looked around seventeen years of age.

”Why should you risk your own life, don't try to be a hero girl.” Said Rick, ”If Roy hadn't attacked the scout, then we would have been able to go in their fighting by now.”

Martha looked at the man and remained calm, she wanted to say something back but decided not to. She knew he was a representative of a large guild and if she was to cause problems for her guild, she would hate it.

”I am not trying to be a hero, we can deal with this without anyone needing to go in close, I can just use my arrow to shoot away from a distance.”

The adventures in the group started to laugh. Of course, Martha wasn't the only one in the group who knew how to wield a bow and arrow, even Roy could use them. The problem was the distance between the base and here was a great one.

An insane amount of strength would be needed and also there were many obstacles in the way, such as branches and trees.

Martha didn't say anything else, but just took out her bow, drew her arrow and allowed Lenny to tie one of the balls onto it.

”Ready?” She asked.
