Chapter 223 The fog
After listening to Heather's short narrative, Lu Chen realized that he was not Sherlock Holmes and could not find any suspicious places at all. If he hadn't known that Terence or Dereen, he wouldn't have even guessed that he was intentionally injured and uploaded the book friend.
Not long after that, the other five exchange students came with Carson. They each gave an introduction and started dinner without saying a word.
When Lu Chen was not very willing to eat dinner, he asked about the students' experiences during this period with the excuse of listening to adventure stories. Only then did he realize that Terence was their team leader and everything was arranged by him alone.
Then, listening to the five people talking about how capable the team leader is. From their admiration, Lu Chen was finally sure that these fools were innocent even if they were sold. If it weren't for the accident, Terence would have come here with a seriously injured "companion", rather than his heroic substitute for the team member, injured and coma after attacking the Fire Mastiff Beast.
After understanding the situation clearly, Lu Chen found an excuse to leave. After all, the darkness alone is not enough for everyone to evacuate secretly. Something else must be done.
Back on the sentry tower, looking at the assassin hiding in the woods waiting for the signal, Lu Chen faced the side of the camp, a thick fog technique and a whirlwind technique were released due to the particularity of his own power, and he was not worried that this natural phenomenon would be discovered by magic. Moreover, the forest is still a season where fog is prone to fog.
"What are you doing? Does the Marquis need to stand guard in person?" Heather ran over when he was unleashing the magic of the first one.
"Well, it's okay to stay down there, come up and have a good time." Lu Chen could only stop quickly
"Blowing wind? Hey, it's foggy... It seems that the wind is not small, why can't you feel it here?"
"...Heather, there will be a military operation tonight, you will leave with everyone." Unable to find the reason or the argument, Lu Chen simply used this to break the topic.
"Oh? That's why you doubt me and ask those children repeatedly? Why do you trust me again now?"
"Sorry, I know who has a problem, but I can't confirm whether he has accomplices before."
"Haha, that's great. I'll confirm if I can help you with just a few words? You also know that my mission failed and I'll go back like this. This year won't be a good time." Relying on the sidebar of the mail tower, Heather looked at the woods in the dark and said sadly.
"this……"
"Yes" Just when Lu Chen was a little embarrassed, Carson suddenly came: "Since Lord Marquis believes in you, we happen to have a very dangerous task. I don't know if you are willing to take it."
"Carson..."
"Marquis, you're wrong. Do you think I'm down on the street? Tell me what mission to see Commander Carson, I'm a six-star high-level swordsman. As long as I don't fight against a seventh-level strongman, there should be no problem." If there is an excuse to leave, Heather naturally doesn't want to let go
"According to the Marquis' plan, we need to hide in the camp to send a signal, and we may face many sieges." Bypassing the specific plan, Carson quickly explained what needs to be done and what we may face.
"Carson, have you got other orders from Clarence?" Lu Chen frowned without time to stop him.
"...I'm sorry, the Marquis Commander, did give the order that must ensure your safety."
"Okay, don't fight anymore. I'll take this task. Isn't it just a signal and run away?" Hether quickly agreed, afraid that something would happen.
"Okay, I really need a bodyguard, Carson. Let's gather everyone to go outside the camp to ambush when it's foggy outside. I took the five exchange students with me to watch them tightly. If I don't work, I'll knock them out. The remaining one depends on his luck. This is the order. Go quickly." Knowing that Carson would not agree easily, Lu Chen immediately rushed to give the order.
"No, sir, you can't stay..." Carson was about to continue to persuade Lu Chen stubbornly, but Hesse picked up and jumped down, and then he was carried back to the whistle after a while.
"Commander Carson, do you have any objections now?" Heather asked to the terrified Carson.
"Puff" suppressed the smile, and Lu Chen also said, "Okay, you should rest assured now. I will find a place close to the wooden wall to hide, go quickly."
He could do it even if he jumped from this whistle tower, but he could carry a strong man in heavy armor like Heather, so easily. Carson smacked his lips speechlessly, and could only salute Heather's slightly threatening eyes and Lu Chen's unconcealed smile, and left.
"Okay, don't thank me. Remember to put it together when you settle the accounts so that you won't bother you. I'll go and rest for a while. When you're ready, come and call me." Then Heather also left as a goddess. Of course, she discovered Lu Chen's strange power, otherwise she wouldn't have come up to check it out. However, relatively speaking, the depravity of Serra made her interested, so she didn't pursue it anymore.
Seeing the mature and dignified Heather leave, Lu Chen's smile disappeared, and instead of a tangled frown, the other party took over the task without even negotiating the price. Obviously, Heather was not as she said, but she couldn't feel any malice. She revealed that she knew who had a problem and did not inquire about the specific action plan in detail. Lu Chen really couldn't figure it out.
"Who sent me to protect me? It's not the members of the shadow guards that Delake found... Forget it, I can only adapt to the situation. It's best if she is hostile, so she can solve her together." Thinking of this in my heart, but Lu Chen himself felt it was unrealistic. After shaking his head, he began to continue to arrange the thick fog.
————————————
"It's fogging, it seems a bit abnormal, but this environment is more powerful to us." A man in black in the forest reached out and waved his hand, but did not notice anything unusual in the fog. He immediately issued an instruction to the people around him: "Send someone to check it forward, and if there is no problem, please order the whole person to move forward five hundred meters."
The order was issued, and a shadow that merged with the darkness immediately ran out
"If I had known that it would fog, I wouldn't have to let the guest take the risk to prevent the other party from destroying supplies." The man in black felt a little complaining that the supply was scarce, and they were worried that the other party would burn together, so they did not dare to attack rashly. The thick fog now created the best opportunity, but they were worried that a wave of arrows would also solve the guests, which would be very unfavorable to the future assassination mission.
————————————
A little tired, drinking a bottle of fifth-level life water, Lu Chen, who had completed the arrangement of fog, rubbed his head and got off the whistle
"Marquis, everyone has left as ordered, and we are the only one left." Carson waited under the mailbox, and when he saw Lu Chen coming down, he looked at him with a pleading look, hoping that he could change his mind
However, when Lu Chen saw the five communicating voices being carried by them on his shoulders, he twitched his eyes and asked him: Did you really knock these guys out?
As a result, I got the answer "I was afraid that they would go back to complain after waking up, so I simply used the drug to faint them." Carson also thought about it later: the enemy used the smoke and couldn't wake everyone up, so he had to carry them away in the end. As for the unconscious exchange student, unfortunately fell into the enemy's hands and then he secretly asked Lu Chen if he had a grudge against the remaining man.
So Lu Chen gave him a bottle of sixth-level fruit wine. After giving him a "reassuring" look, he drove Carson away with a tough look.
Come to the campfire in the center of the camp and sit facing the room where Dereen is sleeping. Lu Chen took out a large piece of golden-scale python meat and roasted it for Alice, regardless of whether he was watching him.
"You are really leisurely. At this time, you still have the heart to eat. Are you not afraid of the enemy coming in now?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't you?" After peeling off a piece of roasted meat, Lu Chen answered casually to give Alice, but this action made Heather's eyes suck.
"The nobles are really luxurious. They actually feed their birds with high-end monster meat."
Don't care about this sarcasm, Lu Chen fed Alice as usual, and said slowly: "The enemies are all assassins above the third level. If you are at the seventh level, please don't take action. Stay quietly aside. I don't want to give an excuse to the same powerful enemy; if you really only have six stars, you can take these and leave immediately while it's not too late." As he said, Lu Chen took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to her
"Haha, there are quite a lot. One hundred gold coins are enough for two difficult tasks." Heather picked up the bag and weighed it, gave the specific number, and continued: "But I am interested in your little secret. Judging from your rich look, I will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to block my mouth, right?"
"Whatever, as long as you have this fate, I will solve the private problem first." Seeing Dereen appearing out of the house in a daze, Lu Chen ended the conversation indifferently and did not believe that Heather was for money, but he tried to find out that she did have some purpose, so he felt relieved. As long as he could trade, he believed that there would be no big problem.
Dereen was shocked when he walked out of the wooden house. There was a fog clearly visible in the night outside the gate. No soldier was seen in the wooden wall. If he hadn't seen two people beside the bonfire, he would have thought he had killed himself. But when he saw Lucien, who was not attacked by him last time, he paused again. Fortunately, his psychological quality was strong enough, and he immediately controlled himself to return to his usual mentality.
"Where is this? Hey, it's you. Thank you for saving me. Can you tell them where they are now?" Dereen, who walked to the campfire, did wake up from a coma, didn't need to pretend to be surprised when he saw Heather, but the answer was Lu Chen, who was pretending to be unaware of him.
"There is no one here, let's continue the last interrupted battle, Dreyan Price, or you Terence?" He gave Alice all the roasted meat, Lu Chen clapped his hands, and said as if he was an old friend. To be continued)
