The mage arrives

As soon as Chip's words fell, the other guards around him faintly surrounded the four of Ronald, each with their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to attack at any time.

The ranger standing on the branch in the distance also pointed the bow and crossbow in their hands at them.

"Captain Ronald, take a look at my elite guards, take a look at the people who are loyal to me. There is no way out against me. If you do what I say, then, after the adventure is over, I will give you an extra How about a large amount of compensation, five hundred gold coins? In addition, if you are willing to serve the Gribreth family, I can give you the position of captain of the town security. I believe it is more comfortable than your life as an adventurer Much more."

Chip is both intimidating and inducing.Gordon had to admit that he hit his soft spot.

Although getting along well with Lucky Coin along the way, after all, Gordon only joined temporarily, after all, he was just an outsider.Among the adventurers, even brothers, fathers, sons and lovers may betray each other, not to mention the unreliable friendship with lucky coins.

Even if Ronald is not greedy for money, but just to save his life and the lives of the lucky coin team members, he chooses to join Chip, Gordon will not be surprised.

Looking at the smug expressions of the two brothers Ke Yan and Chip, as if they were in control of the overall situation, Gordon had already prepared for the worst.

"Hey, you one-armed boy, don't smile at me! I swear to Moradin, Dumathoin, Cranjardin, Radug, Abbathor! Unless my armor is cracked and my battle-axe is broken, The beard has been shaved, and the blood on my body has been drained, otherwise I will never go with you!" The dwarf suddenly roared, his voice was like thunder, and it sounded in the night, "Captain, why are you hesitating? Help the bastard!"

Sera also held the bow and arrow in his hands at this time, ready to fight: "Listen, you wretched fat man, Brother Gordon is the real mage, and you will not be able to catch up with him in 1 years!"

After finishing speaking, the little girl turned her pretty face and took a deep look at the mage beside her: "Brother Gordon, even if I die today, I will be with you."

"Hey, although I was very moved when I heard this kind of words. But it's really unlucky. I still want to leave alive!" Gordon looked at Sera helplessly, but he didn't say anything.

He didn't expect the dwarf and the little girl to be so reckless, and they didn't think much about it, so they stood beside him, who he had known for less than a month.

Some people, even if they have been together for ten years.Also like a stranger.Some people, even if it's just the first time.But life has been intersected.

Miss Jier said nothing.Just pulled out the Longsteel long sword.Her blond hair danced with the wind in the night sky, and in the beautiful wine-red eyes, Gordon saw for the first time a look that could be described as "firm".

At this moment of crisis that is completely at a disadvantage, this eldest lady seems to have finally grown up.

"Hmph, good!" Chip sneered. "Captain Ronald, your two companions, have made a choice. What about you? Do you recognize the situation and draw a clear line with them. Or recklessly choose to side with Gordon and fight against me? I hope The stupidity on the other side is not contagious to you, and you can make wise choices."

Ronald took a deep breath.He looked at Grago and Serra not far away, and they were staring at him expectantly.He looked at Sour Pear, Cynthia, and Gregor beside him, they were also waiting to make a decision.

"Tymora, show me a way!" Ronald shouted in his heart.

He is now caught in an unprecedented dilemma in his life.If he chooses to completely rely on Chip, then not only Gordon, but also the dwarf and the ranger girl will completely break up.They will surely die today.Lucky coins will also fall apart from now on.

But at least, he saved his life, and the other three companions also saved their lives.And after that, you can get a lot of money and a good position, which will guarantee your life in the future.

Everything is perfect except that the conscience will be tormented because of the betrayal of the companion.

And how much is a conscience worth to an adventurer?

If he chooses to fight Chip, Ronald knows that the hope of winning is extremely slim.He may well never see that white horizon rising in the sky at dawn again.

Ronald held his spear "Katan's Breath" tightly, and his thoughts gradually calmed down when he felt the cold metal touch.

Ronald suddenly thought of Carla.

The woman who had a close relationship with him, and even made an appointment that if she didn't become an adventurer in the future, she would find a small village to marry and have children together.

She betrayed herself in order to survive.She saved herself again for the sake of her former friendship.

"It is precisely because betrayal and deceit are commonplace that loyalty and trust are more valuable."

Gordon's words echoed in his mind, and Ronald's eyes suddenly became firm. He held the arm of the spear, and his muscles twitched, as if he was accumulating endless power.

The captain of Lucky Coin glanced aside.

Suan Li hunched over, with his hands on his waist, ready to draw out his dagger at any time and launch a fatal attack.

Priest Cynthia held the holy emblem of Avandra in her slender and tender palm. She gently rubbed the surface of the holy emblem, and her fingertips felt a faint flow of holy power.

The bard stood nonchalantly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.But Ronald knew that the more prepared this guy was to fight, the more relaxed he would appear.

Ronald smiled.He hadn't smiled so happily in a long time.He is very happy, because at this moment of life and death, this moment of testing loyalty and trust, all the owners of the lucky coin have made the same choice.

The spear warrior's eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly. The spear "Katan's Breath" in his hand pierced a red, blue, and white cold light against the background of the night, and aimed straight at Ship Gribrae. S back.

The chunky mage stood two meters away from Ronald. With the "burst sprint" skill, the distance was only a blink of an eye.

As long as Ronald succeeds in his surprise attack and kills the defenseless Chip, the disadvantage of this battle will be completely reversed.Gordon was likely to win the final victory over the Gribreth brothers and their minions.

Well, just kill the unsuspecting Sheep.

Ronald's plan was perfect, but he miscalculated one thing: Chip wasn't defenseless.

When this thoughtful mage put forward the conditions just now to lure Lucky Coin to fight among himself, he had already made other preparations.Originally Ronald was on the side of Chip, but the mage worried that if the lucky coin was too stubborn, even if he died, he would stand by Gordon's side, and he would be in big trouble.So he quietly moved away from Ronald, increasing the distance between the two to two meters.This can also reduce the possibility of some being raided.

Not only that, Chip also quietly squeezed a pure white triangular crystal in his hand, quietly watching Ronald's situation.

Therefore, when Ronald suddenly held a spear and launched a surprise attack on Chip, although the latter was taken aback, he did not panic.

Chip immediately smashed the white crystal in his hand to the ground.

The dazzling white light burst out instantly, like a small artificial sun rising in the dark night.

Ronald lost his target all of a sudden.

"Idiot who doesn't know the current affairs, die!" Shipu cursed viciously, pointing the white jade staff in his hand far ahead, shooting a thick crimson flame beam into the flash.

boom!

When the white light dissipated, only a piece of scorched black scorched by the flame energy remained where Ronald was just now.

"Idiot, you still want to sneak attack me? Even if you are not killed by the flame pillar, you will be knocked off the trunk by the impact, and you will be smashed to pieces!" Chip glanced at the unfathomable darkness below, and spat contemptuously.

"No!"

"Ronald!"

"team leader!"

What happened just now happened too fast, and before the Lucky Coins had time to catch up, their captain had disappeared without a trace.

"You bastard who will be cursed by rocks and mountains for thousands of years, you killed Ronald!" Grago was so angry that his beard was shaking, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush forward to avenge the captain of Lucky Coin.

Serra's eyes were red and filled with tears.However, she held back her tears and still held the longbow firmly, aiming the arrow at Chip.

What a strong little girl.

Chip sneered, and said in a victorious manner: "Don't worry, the sadness of losing a friend will pass soon. Because I will send you to see Ronald soon."

The well-trained guards around him reacted immediately after Ronald launched the attack, each drew their weapons and put them on the necks of Cynthia, the halfling, and the bard.

"Kill these three idiots first, and let our mage Gordon Freeman see what a miserable end will be for those who stand in the same camp as him!" Ship said cold and heartless words. , like the deadliest poison.

Just now Ronald launched a sneak attack, Chip counterattacked, and then killed him. It happened too fast and the distance was relatively far. Gordon was powerless to do anything.But now, he must not sit back and watch another companion die.

"Sip, you'd better not do that, or you will pay an absolutely unbearable price." Gordon said.

"Oh, the protagonist who has been silent all this time has spoken?" Chip said in a playful tone.But when he saw the items in Gordon's hands clearly, his smug smile froze immediately.

Gordon held the Miser energy core in his left hand, while his right hand shone with a violent orange light.

"Sip, guess what will happen if I fireball this Mithr energy core?" Gordon looked relaxed, as if he was not holding the great Netherdulan Empire. A magical creation, but a harmless plush bear.

Chip gasped. (To be continued..)
