Chapter 54 54. Annan became a substitute
Church of the Goddess of Wealth
Soloman Bronzebeard and Andrew Luna rushed to the church
“Dwarf, stay outside ." The church guards stopped them in front of the steps.
Soruman Bronzebeard stopped without any surprise and allowed Andrew Luna to enter.
Andrew Luna walked into the church and followed the nun's guidance to the lounge.
Michael, who was closer, had already rushed over and stood next to Annan.
Seeing that Annan was still awake, Andrew Luna breathed a sigh of relief: "How are you?"
"It's very bad..." Annan's eyes drooped slightly, "The treatment fee actually costs Five gold nuggets..."
It seems that since becoming a warlock, my expenses have suddenly expanded unreasonably.
Annan misses the unfettered life of being able to travel around Pinglin Town with just a few copper coins.
"Bronzebeard said you were attacked?"
But it seems that Annan is fine. The treatment fee is five gold coins... which is about the amount of non-fatal sharp weapon injuries.
"A group of gangsters attacked me on the street and cut off the tendons in my arm." Annan raised his arm, which had fully recovered after the magical treatment and no longer had pain. "I thought Breeze City was safe. I didn’t expect that they would even dare to attack the warlock.”
It’s better to just be robbed by them... Anyway, I only have a few silver coins.
"It has nothing to do with security, they are here for you." Michael, who had always been silent, suddenly said.
Annan and Andrew Luna looked at it at the same time, and Annan asked: "Why do you say that."
"You really don't know?" Michael looked at Annan strangely.
"Know what?"
"Are you feeling better?" The approach of the nun in the lounge stopped their discussion.
The luxurious nun's uniform with gold threads draped around her body reminded Annan of the money lost in treatment: "It's still a little sad."
"It doesn't matter, young warlock, magic can make you happy. "The gentle nun said thoughtfully.
"I'm not sad at all now!"
Michael has paid for the magic, which is the only thing that makes Annan happy.
Leaving this place called the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, which was actually the Gold Selling Cave, they walked out along the corridor and said:
"About two months ago, the convoy of Levis Reeves, the new city lord of Breeze City, the only male and heir to the Reeves family, was attacked in the quiet forest near Pinglin Town."
Annan. Waiting for Michael to continue, but he stopped here, and Andrew Luna looked at himself thoughtfully.
"What does this have to do with me being attacked?"
"Levis Reeves is about the same age as you, he inherited the black hair of his ancestors, and he was not found at the attack site. "
"So you think I am that boy?" Annan suddenly realized why Fast and the others were always looking at him and muttering, "But it was just a group of gangsters who attacked me..."
"Maybe it was just an accident?"
......
Beach Street
Annan was attacked here.
Send Annan back to the attic and let Soruman Bronzebeard guard him while Andrew Luna and Michael come to investigate the scene.
After a brief investigation, it was concluded that several people died, but they were all local gangsters. It was a spellcaster who killed them, and his natural privileges prevented the guards from summoning Annan to cooperate in the investigation. But the answer is clear, whether the gangster provokes the caster, or the caster provokes the gangster - they deserve to die.
According to residents on this street, they heard terrifying roars and pressure - and said it must be a dragon. Of course Andrew Luna and Michael didn't believe it, they just thought it was some kind of low-level spell like "giant beast intimidation".
"Look here, the spider web of incoherent blood, the body was torn into several pieces by some huge force, and one of them fell here." As he spoke, Michael wrinkled He raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance.
This is not the scene... the real scene is a few hundred yards away. He knows that many spells can annihilate the body, but he can't think of any spell that can keep the body parts intact and throw them so far away. Not even the scavenger can turn up.
"The wound is scorched." Andrew Luna squatted beside the broken body, recalling the news he heard in the tavern, "Look at these twig-like lines... not flames, but lightning."
They moved toward the scene As I got closer, I saw a piece of butt hanging on the treetop in the yard of a house.
They came to the real scene again, and it was much more serious here. Debris was strewn all over the ground, and scavengers and soldiers were trying to dig out the fleshy bits stuck to the walls and broken floor tiles.
Andrew Luna reminded the scavenger that there were still body parts ahead and a butt on the tree. Although the rat infestation in Breeze is mild, never give the rat people a chance.
"Is this a trace caused by Annan's spell? This scratch... looks like a dragon's paw print?" As he investigated further, Michael looked like he had seen a dragon, "There is also lightning. Trace, is it a blue dragon? ”
Michael and Andrew Luna are both well-informed people, and their judgments are almost impossible to make mistakes. In other words, there were four possibilities at the time:
One, Annan summoned a blue dragon. These gangsters were dealt with.
Two, Annan was actually a druid who transformed into a blue dragon after being attacked and beat the gangster away.
Third, the blue dragon was summoned by those gangsters, but they fought among themselves and killed each other.
Fourth, a passing blue dragon fell down to help Annan defeat the gangsters.
Michael and Andrew Luna looked at each other.
In other words, Annan did summon a blue dragon.
......
"I think it's not an accident."
Michael returned to the attic first, and not long after, he was investigating along the clues like a detective. Andrew Luna came back and told the information he had investigated: "This is just a test."
"Testing?"
"Testing whether you are Levi's Reeves."
"Those gangsters who attacked you are from the Bale Gang. Their lair is two blocks away, and The 'main' casino and protection fees have nothing to do with kidnapping or robbery."
"We found no traces of bewitchment or soul-eating techniques at the scene, so what kind of situation would cause a group of gangsters to suddenly attack a person. Warlock? "
"But they probably didn't expect you to be able to summon a blue dragon... Is that true? "
Michael was still in disbelief.
"I can't say..." Annan shook his head, "It's not that I can't tell, but it must be kept secret."
Even the contract itself cannot be disclosed.
Michael guessed something and stopped asking.
In any case, if the gangsters were ordered by the murderer of Levi Reeves, the appearance of the blue dragon should temporarily scare them away from doing anything. But the bad news is that the murderer may be convinced that Annan is the Levi's.
They started to believe it too.
How else to explain that a boy who became a warlock two months ago can suddenly summon a blue dragon?
“But we can charge some interest from the Bale Gang first.” Michael said.
Annan is not a grudge-bearing person, but he almost died at the hands of gangsters and always wanted revenge: "But I am just a new sorcerer..."
"Plus a mage from the mage tower. ?”
