Under the leadership of the boatman, Linn left the noisy dock, walked through several streets, and stopped in front of a long-abandoned shabby house in the north of the city.
"Please come in, Lord Labour, Mr. Lauder is waiting for you inside." The boatman extended his hand to signal.
Linn nodded, opened the door and walked in. Only then did he realize that the dilapidated scene outside was just a disguise, and there was a hidden world inside the house.
The surrounding walls are all made of heavy stones. Many precious oil paintings and sculptures are hung on the smooth, mirror-like walls, and the air is filled with an elegant scent of perfume.
In stark contrast to this elegant environment, there were strong men holding large axes standing on both sides of the room. They stared at Lin En who entered the door, like looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Lame Laud was standing in front of the long table at this moment. He looked about fifty years old, with white hair and a thin and stooped figure. The most eye-catching thing was naturally his wooden prosthetic leg.
The moment he saw Lin En, the anger in Lauder's heart suddenly surged, and he scolded him angrily.
"Labour, are you crazy? I should have told you that you must not cause any trouble for me recently..."
"But you actually fought with Bob at the port today over a ship of goods. Do you know that the Holy See may have noticed us now. Two batches of ships have been detained in the past three days..."
Lauder cursed bitterly, but soon discovered that something was wrong with Labour in front of him. Under his own accusation, he did not show any fear or panic at all, but was still approaching him step by step.
"Wait... you're not Labour!" Lauder's mind was racing with thoughts, and he immediately realized this. He took a few steps back in horror, looked at the guards around him, and ordered loudly.
"Stop him!"
Those who could enter this room were all Lauder's chosen confidants, so after hearing the order, the strong men guarding the surroundings didn't hesitate at all, raised the ax in their hands, and chopped down.
[Start overload mode, the time is three seconds! 】
Just before the ax blade approached, Lin En silently thought in his mind.
In an instant, all the positions and movements in the room were turned into data and presented in his mind.
Lin En casually sidestepped the attack of a strong man, snatched the ax from the other man's hand, kicked it away, then turned around, swung the ax handle, and hit a man with the back of the ax hard. On the stomach of the unlucky guy, he then rushed forward with the ax and quickly knocked all the remaining guards to the ground.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lauder had already turned over and crossed the long table blocking the road. The wooden prosthetic leg on the right was simply more agile than the real leg. With the sound of wind blowing, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in a few steps.
Lame Laud... ran so fast!
Such a strange sight made Lin En stunned for a moment, but fortunately he reacted immediately, raised his hand, and several crystal ice blades appeared in the air.
At the same time, Lauder also felt the intimidation coming from behind him, but he ignored it because the secret passage was right in front of him and he only needed to reach out to touch it.
However, the speed of the ice blade was faster, and it hit his right leg prosthesis first. Lauder lost his balance and fell to the ground in a panic, and then another [Ice Blade] flew away. came and nailed it to his robe.
"Keep running!" Linn approached step by step and said coldly. In order to see Lauder, he had worked hard in the past few days, so naturally he could not let him escape.
However, Lin En soon realized that his words were somewhat like the speech of a villain, and then he changed his tone and explained.
"Actually, I'm here to save you, Mr. Loud!"
Lame Laud felt the cold air coming from his whole body, glanced at the "kind-faced" Lin En, and swallowed hard.
Okay, he believed it for now!
…
After a friendly exchange between the two parties, the previous small misunderstanding was resolved. Lauder called a few men to tidy up the messy cabin, and then invited Lin En to sit down.
"Master Wizard, you came to me specifically. Do you have any orders?" Lauder asked cautiously.
"Of course I'm here to save you!" Linn said without hesitation. "As far as I know, the Holy See has sent 3,000 guards to secretly enter the harbor town. They should be targeting the [Boat Gang]!"
"That's not necessarily true..." Lauder shook his head. Of course he had received the news, but he did not agree with Linn's judgment.
"Just three days ago, Archbishop Anthik of Nordland led a raid on the town of Ur. As a result, they encountered a powerful wizard. After paying a heavy price, they were able to repel the opponent. These three thousand people The guards should be used to guard against that wizard."
Speaking of this, Lauder suddenly looked at Lin En, and a vague guess emerged in his heart.
"Yes, I was the one who fought against the Archbishop before!" Linn nodded, not hiding anything.
Seeing Lin En admitting it, Lauder couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded. Judging from the intelligence he had received before, although Bishop Ansiuk succeeded in repelling the wizard in the end, he himself also suffered serious injuries that could not be healed.
Rumor has it that the place where the two sides fought was burned to ashes, and the terrifying fire has not been extinguished to this day...
This shows how powerful and weird this magic is...
Could it be that the person sitting in front of him was a great wizard?
No, not likely.
Lauder quickly rejected this conjecture. He had seen the power of the great wizard. He could even temporarily freeze the maelstrom known as the natural disaster [Eye of Death] by casting spells with all his strength. If he had such power, then An was the one who escaped in the first place. Bishop Suik.
In view of this, Lauder immediately determined that the opponent should be a powerful three-ring wizard!
Linn didn't know what Lauder was thinking, so he continued to explain. "If you think that the Holy See's big fanfare is just to target me, that's too stupid. Ansiuk's real goal is to find a channel to the wizard's land, otherwise the archbishop would not have to go to the harbor Come to town."
"In addition, I also got news that Ansiuk captured several wizard apprentices on the way to Harbor Town."
"They are all disciples of Kelu, and they all know that this route is related to the [Ship Gang]. The Holy See hasn't taken action yet. It's probably just that they haven't been able to get enough information from them."
"I don't have much time left for you!" Lin En said solemnly.
(PS: New books are not easy, so I ask for everything!)
