Chapter 25 The Sudden Obstructor
How easy is it to fall into a person?
Mina proved with practical actions that it didn't even take fifteen seconds - the last moment, she was still a serious and upright priest, rigorous, kind and observant of etiquette. But the next moment, she had become a flame of rage, and the so-called fairness and justice had long been thrown to which plane she had long been thrown to. Because she was completely unable to resist Anjiela's tyrannical behavior and had no choice to Li Lin, Mina finally vented these anger on the originally innocent mercenaries. Releasing anger is naturally a behavior worthy of criticism, but being worthy of criticism does not mean that she could not do so at all.
Of course, those mercenaries who were inexplicably smashed into a cup would never be able to keep their hands kindly, but most of them still wanted to teach this woman a lesson, so they did not do their best. Although Mina's actual experience in combat is far worse than these mercenaries, the reaction ability and speed of the blood-sucking species can also make her maintain an unbeaten situation. Gradually, the situation began to rebound. Although the number of mercenaries was superior, their strength was far less than that of the blood-sucking species. Soon, several people were transferred to Mina's long sword and then kicked to the ground. This sudden change also made the remaining mercenaries become more cautious. They no longer rush to attack, but set a distance with Mina and tempted to waste her strength. After all, in the eyes of these mercenaries, Mina is a young woman after all, and she will definitely not have the physical strength to support for too long.
But as a blood-sucking species, Mina naturally has the strength to surpass ordinary people. However, after all, she lacks experience and has no choice but to face the delaying tactics of "fighting and leading away" by the mercenaries.
"Silly little girl."
Angela stood beside her, looking at the smashed tables, chairs, benches and scattered wine in the tavern, and was bored and sighed.
"It's really a shame for blood-sucking people to deal with this group of humans."
"Then, I'll help you."
Li Lin smiled slightly, then he looked at the mercenaries, his fingers moved lightly, and the magic runes once again wandered on the back of Li Lin's hand, forming a new spell talisman.
The mercenaries' bodies became solemn in an instant, as if someone had tied them with hundreds of pounds of sacks to their hands and feet. The huge force pulled them and suppressed their actions. The originally flexible figure of this group of people quickly became slower than a turtle. The mercenaries who noticed the change opened their mouths and wanted to shout, but then the energy of the magic snatched their voices. So, there was no suspense about what happened next.
After Mina punched and kicked and threw these unlucky guys out of the tavern, the fight that shouldn't have been fought was over. Because of the mercenary, Mina's anger and her originally unwilling thoughts seemed to have fallen to the ground. She no longer complained about how exposed the leather armor was, but stood quietly beside her, acting like a real warrior. Of course, this can also be seen as a manifestation of self-deprecation, just like a child who encounters something unpleasant and always rolls on the ground to dirty himself to express his dissatisfaction.
Li Lin naturally would not care about what Mina would think. This is Angela's job, and he is not responsible for training the sisters. So he walked out of the tavern that was already full of bad luck with the gorgeous magic book in one hand. Although the boss was going to complain, Angela's obviously murderous eyes and two good gems made him return to his stomach before he could say it.
Li Lin and others who left the tavern soon came to the carriage and horse carriage. They did not intend to stay in such a city for a long time. Although the beacon city in front of them can be regarded as the largest city in the border area, because of this, all kinds of troubles may occur at any time. Therefore, leaving early and staying away from troubles is Li Lin's idea. And Anjiela has an indifferent attitude towards this. After all, it is her creed to kill one and kill two or two.
"Since stupid humans want to die, I will never mind fulfilling their wishes in the way they dislike the least."
This is Angela's favorite thing to say, whether it is here or on earth.
Perhaps because of the favor of the goddess of luck, although several unopposed thieves along the way tried to "take" something that did not belong to them from Angela's foreign clothes or Li Lin's pocket. However, they had to give up their original plans because of various accidents. Although they cursed their bad luck today, they never thought that this was much better than painting a beautiful avant-garde art work on the ground paved with blood and white or other colors of sticky objects on the blue bricks and stones.
Although everyone was lucky along the way, when they arrived at the carriage, good luck seemed to be far away from them - it seemed that the goddess of luck also followed the 46:00-hour commuting system. The carriage they originally hired left the city a day ago, but now the coachman in the carriage heard that the destination was the Thousand Towers City, were unwilling. No matter how high the price Li Lin paid, he would never do it.
Since that's the case, I have to change my approach.
"I hope you understand our situation, sir."
Li Lin smiled quietly and gently, facing the old coachman in front of him. Angela grabbed the corner of Li Lin's clothes, perfectly playing the role of the little luoli with "light sound and soft body and easy to push down".
"My sister and I went to the Thousand Towers City to find a person who is very important to us. Only he can help us get out of our current predicament..." As he said that, he signaled, while the old man bit the tobacco in his hand and looked at Anjiela beside Li Lin along his gaze, then never looked away.
"Would you like to help us with this? I promise, I will pay a lot."
"Oh...this..."
The old man stared at Anjiela with a tight look, and a faint red light had appeared in his eyes.
"This...but......"
"Or, are there any difficulties?"
Li Lin unconsciously moved his fingers.
"If you have difficulties, you can just say it's okay. Maybe we can help you solve the problem."
"Actually......... it's not a problem..."
The light in the old man's eyes gradually disappeared, and the red light had replaced it. As if it had been hypnotized, the old man slowly spoke and answered Li Lin's question.
"But, recently, there are rumors that there are many terrible devils appearing on the road to Thousand Towers. Several coachmen who have been promised to pay a lot of money have gone out, but they have never come back. So, we decided not to go to that dangerous place for the time being, at least... not at the moment."
"Did no one care about this kind of thing?"
Hearing this, Li Lin's face was slightly dark.
"Oh... the mayor does not admit that this happened, and the officials also disagree with it... Although we have complained several times, they were all driven out in the name of "unreasonable trouble."
Of course, the officials would not take the words of these coachmen too seriously, after all, only a few coachmen did not come back. God knows if they had bought women outside or met bandits - no matter which situation, it is not worth the border city to draw people to explore the rumored road with devils. So the coachmen seemed to have no other good way except to refuse to take them.
"I understand your concerns."
Li Lin reached out and pressed it on the old coachman's shoulder.
"But our affairs are indeed urgent and cannot be delayed. I will pay you twice the reward, and we also hire skilled mercenaries around us, who will help us eliminate those dangers. You are so old, why not consider giving up this kind of life in slept in the open, buy a piece of land, and live a quiet life?"
A gem appeared in front of the old man against the brilliance of the sun.
"As long as you agree, then you won't need to do such hard work in the future."
Li Lin's gentle tone sounds like a good person who is worried about the world before.
"Why don't you want to try it? After all, that's just a rumor. You haven't seen any devil with your own eyes, aren't you? Are you willing to give up this deal for this ridiculous rumor? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Oh...what you said......"
The old man looked dazed, and to a greater extent, he didn't think about what Li Lin was saying. He trembled with his hands, reached in front of Li Lin, took away the gems, and held them tightly in his hand. Anjiela laughed lightly and then slapped her chin.
The crisp sound made the old man suddenly stunned, and then he quickly woke up.
"Oh, OK, dear guest, I'll prepare the carriage and everything you need for you right away. Do you have any more needs?"
"It's better to be more comfortable."
Soon, the old man turned around and walked into the carriage and began to make preparations before departure. After completing the "persuasion", Li Lin held Anjie's little hand and considered whether to go to a nearby bookstore to buy a few books on the road as a pastime. Unfortunately, they had just walked to the door of the carriage and were blocked by two young men in mage robes.
"In the name of the Mingdeng City Mage Association, I ask you to hand over the book you are in your hands immediately, a foreigner."
Pointing to the gorgeously decorated "Happy Book Library" beside Li Lin, one of the men spoke proudly.
"If you refuse, we will arrest you in the name of disobeying orders of the Mages."
It seems that the goddess of luck is indeed getting off work.
