Chapter 166 Encountering a Magician

Both Roger and Bonnie didn't want to stay long in this place full of murloc corpses, so after resting for a while, they set off for the journey back to Port of Suter. 【】Thinking of going so long in the swamp, Roger couldn't help feeling a little headache.However, he had to return to the Adventurer's Union in Suter Harbor to obtain a certificate for completing the mission, so he could only endure the hardship.

In fact, after being separated from the others, Roger tried to summon the nightmare beast, and rode on the road with Bonnie.However, it is not a good idea to use a mount in such a swamp, and several times almost both humans and animals got stuck in the quagmire.In addition, the female knight is still very resistant to the nightmare beast, so Roger can only give up in the end.

The difficulty of trekking in the swamp gave Roger the idea of ​​domesticating a large flying familiar.In the world of Turonzo, there are many monsters that are big enough to take people to the sky, such as chimeras and griffins, which are very ideal species.If these monsters can be domesticated, they will be able to fly through the air when encountering difficult terrain in the future, which can reduce a lot of hardships of trekking.

However, large flying monsters are at least high-level bronze monsters, and they must be upgraded to a level before they can be domesticated.To upgrade the taming farm, you must first upgrade the castle, so Roger's dream of taming these flying monsters that can carry people is definitely not achievable in the short term.

Fortunately, this trial trip has been fruitful, even if the road is hard, Roger will not have too many complaints.Bonnie was also happy that Roger was able to pass the test. Even if Roger's jokes were sometimes too much, she laughed it off and didn't mean to be unhappy.Roger was pleasantly surprised to find that through this trial, the relationship between himself and Bonnie has become closer, which is also an unexpected benefit for him.

With such a beautiful woman as Bonnie, Roger felt that the swamp seemed not so difficult to walk.The two traveled during the day and camped at night to talk and rest. After a few days, they finally came to the edge of the mud swamp, and the Port of Suter was within sight.With a little quickening of the pace, Roger and Bonnie could be resting in the comfort of their hotel room tonight.

As the two gradually moved away from the swamp, more and more solid and dry land became available, and the trees became lush.Roger and Bonnie walked quickly along the path leading to Suter Harbor, but they stopped at the same time after turning a corner.

On the road not far ahead, a row of men wearing chain armor and holding various weapons stood staring at Roger and Bonnie.These guys all had a murderous look on their faces, and it was immediately clear that they had bad intentions.However, it wasn't these guys that really worried Roger, but the two standing behind them.

The figures of these two people are not burly, and they can even be said to be a little thin.Their faces were pale, and they didn't hold any weapons in their hands. They didn't seem to be threatening at all.But they were wearing robes with hoods and two gold borders embroidered on the cuffs.Roger only took one look at them, and immediately guessed their identities. They were magicians!

Perhaps there are not many people who have actually seen a magician on the continent of Erm, but whoever sees someone in such an attire will immediately think of this mysterious, noble, and destructive profession.Roger could even guess from the very standard magician attire of these two people that they must be "academic" magicians from the Mage Tower.Only academic magicians would follow the tradition so strictly, even when they ventured into the wild, they would wear slightly cumbersome hooded robes.

The two magicians looked at Roger and Bonnie with expressions on their faces. Although they didn't speak, their eyes were full of contempt and disdain.Although they were just junior magicians who had just been promoted, they didn't pay attention to "ordinary people" like Roger at all.

If it weren't for the request of the so-called genius Jenson of the Barton family, these two magicians would never have come out at the same time, bringing their followers to deal with a student of a knight school.To them it would be like shooting a flying beetle with a ballista, which is too good to be true.And this student of the knight school named Roger was able to trouble two noble magicians to deal with him, even if he was killed, it would be a great honor for him.

"Roger Lee?" One of the magicians named Beta said to Roger coldly, "Jenson from the Barton family asks me to send you my greetings!"

The magician said Jenson's name without hesitation, which showed that he was absolutely sure of killing Roger, and he was not worried that he would tell the matter at all.It's no wonder that the magician has such confidence in himself. The two junior magicians and their followers are already a very powerful force. Now they only need to deal with two people, and the final result is completely without any suspense.

When Roger heard the magician say the name Jenson, he immediately understood the purpose of these two guys coming here, and knew that today's matter was Fashan.

Bonnie also found out that these people had bad intentions, the female knight didn't say a word at all, she drew out her long sword and planned to charge towards the enemy.Anyone with a little combat experience knows that distance is the most important factor when fighting a mage.Just like facing crossbowmen, you must close the distance with them as soon as possible in order to survive such an encounter.

Bonnie's decision is undoubtedly the most correct. When facing the magician, distance and time determine life and death.But she forgot that there was a "summoner" beside her, even if she met a magician, she didn't need to rush to go out in person.Roger grabbed the female knight who was about to charge, and whispered to her: "Don't be impulsive!"

Bonnie frowned, before she could speak, Roger had already started to act.As soon as his thoughts moved, a group of long-sword warriors had appeared in front of the magician's followers, quickly fighting the enemy.Farther away, a group of crossbowmen also appeared. They aimed at the two mages with their bows and arrows, and then shot a round of sharp arrows at the same time.

The magician's followers were entangled by the sword warrior who suddenly appeared in front of them. Although they all fought hard, how could they get rid of the enemy and go back to rescue the magician in time?So they could only watch the arrow draw an arc in the air and fly towards their master, but they couldn't do anything except shout loudly.

Roger stood there watching all this, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: "Everyone wants my life, I really think I'm so easy to bully? What kind of shit magician, I still call you hedgehogs!"

However, just as this idea flashed through Roger's mind, things changed unexpectedly.
