The Dean Has Arrived

Text Chapter 757: Decoy Tactics

After looking at each other, both Joyce and Aesop showed serious expressions.

"Now is not a time of peace, and no one should make such a joke." Aesop threw the heavy magic book aside, and the coat rack that appeared out of nowhere picked up the magic book and stuffed it into the corresponding bookshelf.

Joens put his helmet back on his head again, and ordered the guards outside in a low voice: "Bring the person who reported the message here, and we will personally confirm whether the information is true."

"To order."

Immediately, the sound outside fell silent as the footsteps walked away.

"Although it is unlikely to be a joke, maybe the other party's intention is not a joke." Compared with Aesop who stayed in the room all year round to study magic and alchemy knowledge, Joyce who galloped on the battlefield is obviously more mature Sophisticated, when encountering such a situation, he is more thoughtful: "For example, transfer the two of us who are now heroes on duty away from the city wall."

"You mean, the other party may be a spy of the abyssal demon?"

A cold light flashed in Aesop's eyes.

His hometown was affected by the flames of war when the demons invaded, and almost all of them were destroyed.

And Aesop's family, which was originally considered a small nobleman, was also torn apart in that war.

It was too late when Aesop, who was studying with a legendary great mage, returned to his hometown. He only dug up two highly decomposed corpses covered in maggots in the ruins of his own house...

It is precisely because of this that he will join the Salvation Army after he returns to his teacher and succeeds in his cultivation. And through a well-designed serial magic trap, he blows up a raid team composed of twelve big demons and becomes a newly promoted hero.

"It's just a possibility. I'm just making an analogy." Jones scratched his helmet, making a screeching sound like scratching a blackboard with his fingernails. Aesop frowned.

"All in all, we have to wait for that person to come before we can judge."

"Hmph." Aesop leaned against the velvet recliner with an unhappy face, snorted softly, and did not answer.

After a while, the guard's announcement came from outside the door.

However, to their surprise, the informer turned out to be a girl.

"My name is Laven de Paisley, and I am a magic swordsman from outside Stein."

The informant first pulled up the skirt to reveal the leather pants under the skirt. He bowed to the two heroes.

Her neither humble nor overbearing expression made Qiunes quite fond of her.

And Aesop directly released a detection of evil, but Laven is naturally not a spy from the abyss, so this detection magic has no effect at all.

But Aesop was not relieved by this, and instead used an unfinished detection lie.

This magic is only effective for humans, and depending on the anti-magic power of the subject, there will be a certain degree of resistance to magic.

Before Laven entered the state of agent of the law, she didn't have too much anti-magic power, so the magic still took effect.

But what she said earlier didn't lie, so the magic didn't do anything.

"Magic is not resisted. It is not very powerful against magic. It should not be a demon or a subordinate who is confused by a demon."

Aesop narrowed his eyes and muttered softly in a voice only he could hear.

Of course, Jones is because of the increase in armor. He could also hear his words vaguely, knowing that the identity of the girl in front of him was not too suspicious.

But the necessary vigilance is still indispensable.

"Where did you originally live?"

He had a serious tone and asked in a low voice.

This kind of voice matched his height of nearly two meters. The pressure on people is so great that ordinary people can't help but feel fear in their hearts. Tell the truth.

But Laven still looked quite calm.

"I'm from the east of the mainland, but now that side has been occupied. I had nowhere to go, so I went to the Taliesid Plain, and then found that the two people on the wanted warrant were in the camp of the centaur."

The place where Laven was before crossing was indeed the eastern plain, and the eastern plain had indeed fallen in this era. In order to respond to Xi Wei's plan and participate in the final war, there is really no other way but to go to Taliesin. It was found that the two people on the wanted notice were in the centaur camp. This sentence neither said when he met St. George and the others, nor did he say that he did not know St. George and the others, although it gave people a feeling of "coincidentally in the centaur camp." Nearby found them' misleading sense, but literally nothing lies.

So detect lies or nothing.

"Very well, your honesty has won my respect."

After receiving Aesop's "trustworthy" expression, and seeing that he withdrew the detection of evil and detection of lies, Joyce said in a dull voice.

"So now can you take us to them?"

"Of course, but before that, don't you plan to give me the bounty?"

Raven held out her hands to the big man, waiting for him to pay.

This made Jones a little embarrassed—although he was a hero, he didn't have much money on him.

"After we find those wanted criminals in the centaur camp, we will naturally give you the money."

Aesop immediately spoke out to make a rescue.

Like Joynes, he didn't have much cash—but Joyce spent the money on helping the poor and various fine wines, while Aesop used it to buy precious magic books.

Although it should be feasible to go to the warehouse to collect the bounty now, the girl just saw St. George's group in the centaur camp. God knows when they will leave, so the right way is to move quickly.

"If that's the case, please ask the two heroes to complete the IOU first."

Laven said with a smile: "Because people don't know when those wanted criminals will leave the gathering place of centaurs. If you shirk and say that no one is found so you don't give the bounty, isn't it a big loss for me? Not only I got nothing, and attracted the hatred of those wanted criminals in vain. There just happened to be paper and pens there."

If it weren't for the fact that there were many centaur gathering places around the city of Stein, and it took longer to find each one, Aesop felt that he would definitely throw this greedy girl out.

When did the promises of both heroes become so worthless...

The other piece of paper is the best material for writing magic scrolls 'Tarianst Magic Scattered Paper', and the current price in Stein City is only one gold coin for ten centimeters!

Instructed the guard to inform the magician group, and let those magicians sneak into the surrounding centaur camp with the eyes of the magician, and observe the whereabouts of St. George's group. Si found a useless piece of parchment together, and wrote an IOU on it...

Satisfied, Laven stuffed the IOU into her chest, and then made a 'please' gesture to the two unfriendly heroes.

——CENTAUR CAMP——

"Does that mean we need to try our best to attract Stein's attention while ensuring our own safety?"

After listening to Xi Wei's explanation, St. George said thoughtfully.

"Although it's a little different, you can understand it this way."

Xi Wei looked at a pocket watch on his body and estimated the time: "It's almost here, let's prepare to leave. After all, we enjoyed the banquet of the centaur clan, so we can't fight on their territory."

Sandler rubbed his temples with a headache: "I think it's too bad for you to assume that there will be a fight. The heroes in Stein City are not much weaker than us. No matter which one comes this time , I am afraid that in a one-on-one situation, the only person who can win steadily is you."

"There is no need to win steadily, just delay the time and make the trouble bigger and better."

Xi Wei patted Sandler on the shoulder: "I like you!"

"Compared to this, I would rather not be favored by you..." Sandler complained bitterly: "Why did I agree to join your strange mercenary group in the first place?"

"Probably because of my charisma."

Xi Wei replied casually.

Sandler responded with snort.

When you are free, you must teach this guy what etiquette is.

Xi Wei thought in his heart.

On the other hand, Sandler, who was maintaining the bow and bird of paradise, felt a chill on his back, and goosebumps stood up for no reason...

"However, what Sandler said is indeed correct. If there are only one or two heroes, we can still handle it. After all, the strongest heroes are only at the level of a great magician... and in terms of combat power, they may not be as strong as you. The combat power of the magician is strong. But this is also our limit. Even with Heisen, we will have a lot of pressure when facing three heroes. And once the legends in the city make a move, we don’t even have the slightest chance gone."

St. George said to Xi Wei seriously.

Although he has always adhered to his chivalry, he still has a precise understanding of his own strength, and he can't help but say with some concern: "And this is still under the condition that the other party does not allow those magician troops to coordinate spellcasting..."

The strength of individual magicians in the magician army is not strong, but once the number increases, the power of coordinated spellcasting is also very impressive.

"It doesn't matter, you just go ahead and do it. If you can't stand it, retreat. You should know the few secret tunnels I left." Xi Wei waved his hand: "If there is a legend, I will definitely not sit idly by Never mind."

"Then what should this guy do?" Sandler kicked the still drunk Heisen. Heisen whimpered indistinctly, waved his hand impatiently, as if chasing flies, and headed west. Wei asked: "You can't leave it here, can you?"

"Find a bucket and throw it in." Xi Wei suggested solemnly. (To be continued..)
