Chapter 36 (1/2)
Pushing the cart pulled out from the warehouse, ello leisurely closed the guild door and walked towards the east exit of the town.
When passing the market, she just saw cocoa and her dead soldiers looking at the stall over there. After saying hello, ello still asked the little girl to continue looking at the stall, while she continued to walk forward.
Napa lay on ello's head as usual. After the two of them completely walked out of Pelican Town, the cat looked back at the town behind him, and then looked at the shining forest approaching in front, looking a little confused.
”Aren't you going to buy salt? What can you do with that little bottle of cooking salt on you? Or did you finally decide to let me clean up these shrems? ”
The cart made a gurgling sound on the dirt ground. The shining forest not far away was really shining in the sun as literally.
He still smiled, as if he would make no other expression except a smile: ”no, and I don't want to clean up these shrems today. Today, we are going to set traps. You are responsible for helping me guard against the following surroundings when I set traps, see if there are any dangers around, and just remind me. ”
As he spoke, arrow had reached the edge of the shining forest. She tried to pick up the sack with eight hunting traps on the trolley and stepped in with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
”I don't quite understand what you mean.”
As soon as she entered the forest, Napa's neck was raised a little to help ello watch out for the surrounding environment——
”Don't deal with king shrem. What are you doing here with these traps?”
Arrow held a tree and gasped a little. To say, he was too careless. During this period, Brad took all the heavy things. He only needed to be a dictator. As a result, he seriously underestimated the weight of these traps and couldn't do without taking two steps.
He looked up and saw that the sun was now shining through the leaves, shining the whole forest. It's noon now, so it's better to speed up and finish these things, so as not to have fun when the sun goes West.
”Do you remember the man named cream?”
Napa didn't expect to mention the thief's name at this moment, and then said, ”yes, you said he followed Merlin back.”
Arrow nodded, gritted his teeth and continued to walk, saying, ”I didn't tell Brad, Buffy and coco about these things, but I always think he should come to our guild again. And next time, it's not a good thing for this guy to come to us. ”
Napa didn't understand what arrow meant for a moment: ”can you speak more clearly?”
”Hoo... Let me tell you so.”
Finally, he entered a place a little deeper. Ello estimated the distance, took out a animal trap from the sack, found a place with lush grass to install it, and then covered it with those weeds. Then he took out the salt bottle in his pocket and sprinkled a circle of salt around the trap to ensure that shrem would not come over and touch the mechanism by mistake. Soon, a trap of fully integrating into the surrounding environment was completed.
After looking around and confirming that he would not be found because of the reflection of the sun, arrow pulled out his sharp tooth dagger, carefully made a mark on the nearby tree trunk, and then continued to go deep.
”The guy of cream was obviously forced to come to our guild. Different from the first time, the first time he seemed arrogant, so the first task should really be an ordinary entrustment. ”
”But the second time, he was very nervous, and the two city people entrusted for the first time were killed by Merlin according to him. Judging from what Merlin said before she left, it should be that there is any dispute between cream and Merlin. Cream reluctantly has a very important deal with Merlin. After Merlin confirmed that gold would indeed be produced in the mine, the transaction between cream and him was completed. ”
”After that, this guy followed Merlin and should just want to receive Merlin's promise.”
Napa shook her ears, looked at a tree three meters away and said, ”there's a slim there. It's small. Pay attention.”
After Ailuo carefully avoided it, Napa continued to ask, ”so what does this have to do with setting a trap here now?”
Arrow smiled, found a narrow place and installed the next trap again: ”to be honest, I don't believe Merlin very much. Even if he is a mage, I don't believe what he said. ”
Napa snorted, ”you humans are really strange. Don't you even believe the magician's promise? Are you wonderful or do I think too much? ”
Ailuo didn't mind: ”coco is also a magician. The little girl has many ghost ideas. Do you believe everything she says?”
Napa: ”hum. You go on. ”
Arrow looked around and confirmed that the place in front was king slim's nest. No doubt, he installed the third trap again.
”Cream knows too much. In fact, I think our guild knows too much. According to the information I have, the news that the abandoned mine can produce gold again will not spread widely. Therefore, the more people know that it is a gold mine, the less likely it is that those noble and senior officials in Hanhai city can swallow the gold mine alone. If the people of the whole blue bay Empire know that there is a gold mine here, the development right of the gold mine will fall into the hands of the royal family. As long as our emperor orders monopoly, those nobles and collateral families will not want to taste the sweetness of the gold mine. ”
The cat's ears stood up again, and the color in its eyes changed from laziness to vigilance: ”do you mean... Merlin is likely to kill the little thief? Is it possible to kill you No, if he wanted to kill you, he could have done it when you finished your task. ”
Arrow put down the fourth trap and smiled bitterly: ”hehe, he really wanted to do so at that time. If I hadn't reported the name of my alma mater. Well, I have to say that the name of laotengshu college is more or less useful. It seems that even if there is a senior official behind him, it should not be possible for that senior official to kill the students of laotengshu college casually. After all, it offends too much. ”
Napa nodded, but after a short pause, she suddenly said, ”wait a minute, since you start setting traps now, it means that you have expected that Merlin might bring people again in the future. At that time, it means that the mage will directly conflict with our guild! That's why you came to set up traps in advance, because this is the decisive place you expected! ”
”But why did Merlin come to us at that time without fear of the name of old tengshu college? Because you know that by that time, Merlin must have thoroughly checked the student list of old tengshu college. And you, Ariel Garcia, are not on the college's graduation list at all! ”
Arrow, who was about to place the fifth trap, suddenly trembled.
This sudden pause made him seem to be integrated with the whole forest at this moment, becoming an ”object” that could not think, move or respond.
Because of his stalemate, a shrem moved slowly in his direction, but Napa didn't respond. It just looks at the girl under its feet and wants to know how the human wants to answer its own questions.
”..... Oh, did you make a mistake? Our vice president. ”
