Chapter 258 - Ambush (1/2)
Evan was fully equipped and ready for battle. He had first class weapons and incredible quality armor. Potions and spells would help him fight a long battle and deal with unexpected situations. But, given the special skill of the armor, Evan decided he would need something else.
”Virion, I need something that can restore my blood quickly. Do you have anything in mind?” Asked Evan.
Virion nodded, ”Sure, there are plenty of potions here that drinking them will restore your blood supply. But, I need to know what type of blood you have, otherwise, it won't work.”
”And how will you know that?” Evan asked.
Virion smiled as he walked over to Evan and made a cut on his arm with a slight movement of his hand. Virion caught the falling drop of blood with his finger and tasted it, ”Good, your blood isn't particularly rare.. We have plenty of suitable potions.”
They headed into the room, where many different potions were designed to restore blood supplies in emergencies. Virion walked over to the counter and threw three small potions in Evan's direction.
”That's enough for you for a long time. That's it, that's the end of the preparation. I can't give you anything else. I'm sure this will be more than enough.” Said Virion.
Evan nodded.
...
The Azure Bridge reconnaissance team should arrive at the village in about fifteen hours. Evan decided not to delay and headed straight to the village. Evan didn't want the Azure Bridge group to arrive before the appointed time suddenly, and he would be at a disadvantage.
The village was called - Arker. It was located a few kilometers from Darkfil. The most ordinary people inhabited it. Those mages who appeared among the people of that village had long ago left it for the big cities to conquer new heights.
Arker was a stagnant but peaceful and serene place. No one touched this village as it was mostly useless.
...
When Evan reached Arker, he headed for the nearest inn. Several thousand people were living in this village, so there were even several restaurants and one inn.
Evan didn't want to draw attention to himself poetically. He dressed in simple, slightly shabby clothes. If he was seen in Scarlet Sacrifice, most of the villagers would know he was a mage.
Evan wanted to bide his time and attack the Azure Bridge group unexpectedly. He was going to kill three out of ten people using spell scrolls instantly.
Evan only paid a few copper coins for a mug of ale.
<How long has it been since I used copper coins. There really is an incredible gulf between wizards and ordinary people.> Evan thought, taking a sip of the bitter but generally pleasant-tasting ale.
