The mage arrives

() Under the intimidation of various cruel instruments of torture, the little accountant named Ding Te couldn't hold on, and revealed all the things Gordon wanted to know.

The sewer has been occupied by the Ritter family for half a year.They have managed this place into an intricate underground castle.Since August, various goods have been transported here every day and stocked up.Then they waited for the day of the Harvest Festival, and took advantage of the slack inspection on the festival day to ship all the goods on board and smuggle them out.

Gordon picked up Dingt's ledger, flipped through two pages, and asked, "Iron cans, sewing needles, clothes drying poles... the Ritter family spent so much effort, is it because they want to steal these daily groceries?" Shipped out? Please don't insult my IQ. Honestly, what do these words really mean?"

"I...I really don't know..." Ding Te's teeth chattered, obviously caught in a dilemma.

"Look at my eyes," Gordon pointed to his own eyes, his black pupils were now covered by a layer of lavender magic spirit, "If you don't understand magic, let me tell you, this is The spell 'detect thinking', it can let me know what you are thinking, even if you peeked at the female neighbor's bath when you were a child, I know it clearly, so don't lie to me, otherwise I don't mind trying with those torture tools Test your flesh to see if it is as tough as a troll."

"How do you know that I peeked at my neighbor, Aunt Rowling, taking a shower..." Ding Te was frightened. <Have you ever been peeping on the female neighbor next door?Detective thinking is of course not as powerful as Gordon said, he was just scaring Dint.This spell can only detect the superficial thinking of intelligent creatures, but cannot dig out the secrets hidden deep in the heart.

Still, Gordon's words had an effect.Dint had no idea about the power of magic, only knew that the mage was a mysterious and terrifying guy. He was afraid that Gordon would reveal all his secrets, so he said honestly: "Master, the iron can refers to the heavy-duty full-body Armor, sewing needles are crossbow bolts, silk threads are military crossbows, clotheslines are spears, kitchen knives are two-handed swords in the field..."

"It's all armaments?!" Gordon gasped.

He looked at the number of various weapons and equipment recorded in the ledger, and found that it was enough to arm an army!

This is a big deal!The Ritter family secretly built so many ordnance and wanted to smuggle it out. What on earth did they want to do?

A terrible conjecture rose up in his heart, like a black shadow, lingering.

"Where will these ordnance be transported after they are loaded on the ship?" Gordon asked after taking a deep breath to stabilize his mood.

"I really don't know about this," Dint said with a sad face, "The ships that transport the goods come from the south. I only heard from those Nanke sailors that after they leave the city, they will go east along the Bishui River until they reach the Endless Ocean. .”

Gordon retrieved the geographic data in his mind and drew a map of the North Continent.

Heading east after sailing?Impossible, there is nothing there, except the vast and endless ocean.

south?Wouldn't that be superfluous?Just turn directly at the intersection of the Bishui River and the Kenwa Canal. Why do you need to make such a big circle?

Then you can only go north.

At this time, Shelley, who was completely relieved, walked out of the bedroom and came to Gordon. She glanced at Ding Te lying on the ground with contempt, and asked: "Mr. Gordon, have you finished asking? I also I want to ask him a question."

"Please." Gordon nodded.

Shelley walked up to Dingte, and in her silver-moon pupils, anger was burning: "Bastard, where are my weapons and armor? Where are you hiding?"

"Brother Mane took them all to the duty room of the warehouse." Ding Te shrank his neck, but his eyes couldn't help looking at Wang Xuelaiya's wet chest.

"Does it look good?" Shelley suddenly showed a charming smile.

"Nice..." Ding Te nodded in a trance.

"Unfortunately," Shelley grabbed Ding Te's head and twisted it violently, "You will never see it again."

Ding Te's neck was broken and he lost his breath.No matter how attractive her body is and how beautiful her face is, Shelley has been working in the adventure group for several years. An experienced adventurer will never blink when she kills someone.

"You really..." Gordon didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Gordon, haven't you finished asking? In that case, he is worthless. If you keep his life with kindness in your heart, I'm afraid it will leave hidden dangers."

In fact, I had already planned to kill people and wipe out my mouth. I was going to use a Ma Youfu acid arrow to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces. But Miss Ranger, you preempted me and snatched some of my experience points.

Gordon thought for a while, but decided not to speak out what was in his heart.

"Forget it, let's leave. I'm going to continue investigating in the sewer. Are you going to leave by yourself, or follow me?"

"You are my savior, Mr. Gordon." Shelley locked Gordon's cheeks with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the fiery eyes made even mages who are not young feel a little uncomfortable, "I think my ranger skills can be used for You offer some help. But first, I need to get my gear back."

"This is the best." Gordon naturally agreed to Shelley's request.

Although a ranger is not as specialized in stealth as a rogue, he is still better than a mage in searching, listening and sneaking in these subjects.Because most spells have obvious sound and light effects when they are cast.Usually this is cool, but it's inconvenient when you need to sneak in secretly.

The two teamed up to hide Dint's body and left the tent.

After turning through several alleys, Gordon and Shelley came to the main trunk of the sewer.The various tributaries converged into an underground river about five meters wide, rushing and rushing forward.

The water gave off an indescribably foul stench, like the smell of a stinky salted fish after you put it in your boot and leave it in the sun for three days.All kinds of garbage and dirt are floating on the muddy and black river surface.There are even human and animal corpses that have been swollen from soaking, constantly rising and falling in the water.

Shelley refrained from watching, she was afraid that if she glanced at the disgusting scene, she would not be able to help but spit out her breakfast.The half-elf also inherited the elves' habit of loving nature, beauty, and cleanliness, and especially couldn't bear such a dirty environment.

It took courage for this half-elf girl to propose to go with Gordon.

As a ranger, Shelley's perception attribute must be much stronger than that of Gordon, a mage. She walked in the front and was responsible for exploring the way, and Gordon also thoughtfully gave her spells to increase her vision and hearing.

Following the direction of Ding Te's confession, the two quickly found the location of the warehouse.The exit of the dark river was not far away, and the decayed barbed wire blocked the garbage in the water so that they would not flow into the Clear Water River.Through this exit, Gordon saw five three-masted cargo ships with a displacement of about [-] tons docked on the pier outside.

The Ritter family has been operating in this sewer for a long time, and actually opened up a large open space, and then temporarily isolated and planned four warehouse areas with wooden boards to store various goods.Many stout men dressed in short coats came in and out in groups of three or four, moving heavy boxes out one by one.

"The coolies who carry the boxes come in batches every 5 minutes. The patrols with knives in groups of three pass by once every 10 minutes." Shelley watched the personnel entering and leaving with a focused expression.

Seizing the gap, she led Gordon to avoid many eyes and ears, and sneaked into the duty room.

In the empty room, Shelley saw things piled up in the corner that belonged to her.She couldn't help but whispered, and then ran over with a smile.Wristguards, leggings, skirt armor, and breastplate are all put on neatly, and then the quiver and longbow are put on the back, and the beautiful and capable ranger is back.

Although he was a little regretful that he could no longer see Shelley's beautiful figure covered by the light clothes, Gordon still quickly turned his attention to serious matters.

Leaving the room, the two quietly entered the warehouse with the signboard of "Four" in the common language.Gordon stopped in front of a fir box about two meters long and one meter wide.He did not find a crowbar, or, if he did, it would have taken a great deal of effort for him to pry the box open.

So Gordon still chose the most labor-saving method.

"Tap technique!"

Gently touch the wooden box, and the rivets that were nailed tightly on the box suddenly fell off, and Gordon easily lifted the lid: "It's as simple as peeling the shell of an egg."

Putting aside the straw stuffing, Gordon finally saw what was in the box: a set of full body armor.He lightly stroked the surface of the armor—rough, dull in color, obviously not polished or polished.Of course, this just lowered the armor's aesthetics a notch, but it didn't hinder its protective performance.

However, Gordon discovered a problem. The size of this set of full-body armor does not seem to be suitable for humans to wear.

Ordinary human soldiers, between 1.7 meters and 1.8 meters five in height.By adjusting the connecting belt and elastic buckle on the armor, the armor supplied to the army in bulk in the general blacksmith workshop can be suitable for soldiers in this height range.

But the full body armor in front of Gordon should be made for tall and strong humanoid creatures over two meters tall.Moreover, the thickness of the whole set of armor is 30.00% thicker than that of ordinary human armor.Such a size and such a weight are obviously not something a human soldier can wear.

"It seems that my guess is correct. These armors, including all the weapons, are for the orcs!" Gordon's face gradually became serious. Ship it out of the city, head east all the way, go out to sea, then turn north, and land in the barren tundra... It's so dangerous, if I didn't happen to find it, I am afraid that this winter, the entire Farfrost Province will face a monster that has been attacked by humans. An army of orcs armed with sophisticated weapons."

"The others must be notified as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Shelley whispered: "Someone is coming, hide!"

Gordon quickly closed the lid of the box, and then pulled by Shelley, both of them squeezed into a dark corner of the warehouse.
