Chapter 105 102. Open the door and deliver dinner

The moment Dylan pushed open the oak door, the smell of salty and fishy mixed with watery beer filled the air.

This was a tavern for dock workers and sailors, dirty and noisy, and Dylan liked this kind of environment.

"Stew and a glass of wine, delivered to the room." He flicked a few copper coins to the boss and walked straight through the crowd to the second floor.

This is already Dylan's third day in Clark. Tomorrow a ship will depart for the islands at the dock and is willing to take passengers along the way. Dylan has been waiting for it to set sail for three days.

These days, the guards have been patrolling and checking very strictly. I don’t know if it was caused by Chloro killing that pretty boy rich second generation.

Anyway, Dylan tries to stay at home as little as possible.

Apart from the tavern owner and the second captain of the ship, he had little interaction with anyone else.

After returning to the room, Dylan took out a bottle of magic potion from his luggage bag and drank half of it in one gulp.

It is impossible to photosynthesize naked in the city, so we can only rely on potions.

The remaining half bottle was poured on the scout.

The magic potion flowed down between the scales, and the scout's backpack became fuller.

Then Dylan pulled out his sword and wiped it carefully with a cloth.

"Your stew and wine, sir."

Dinner is finally here!

Dylan stood up and took two steps before stopping.

gentlemen?

you?

This is not a high-end place. The waiters in the bar are polite if they don't use swear words. Why would they use words like this?

As Dylan thought about it, he immediately found more problems.

Downstairs... I don't know when it became quiet...

"Sir, are you asleep?" Seeing that Dylan didn't respond for a long time, the person at the door asked again.

Dylan was even more certain that there was definitely something wrong with the person outside. How could he be so polite!

He quietly put the scout on his back and held the sword in his hand.

Dylan quietly walked to the window and looked down through the gap in the coarse cloth curtains.

Damn it, guards!

Just the visible ones, there are three guards downstairs, and there is no telling how many more there are that are not visible!

Dylan couldn't understand why he was targeted!

Could it be that Krollo was caught and gave himself up?

Click——

While Dylan was daydreaming, the person outside the door seemed to have lost his patience and tried to force the door open.

Faced with difficulties, Dylan made a decisive choice -

"Boss! Boss! We need support!"

"ah?"

Lin Jun, who was originally experimenting with the effects of [Plant Affinity LV1], received Dylan's distress signal and shifted his attention.

【Magic Perception LV6】

【Airflow Sensing LV7】

【Sound wave detection LV6】

After going through several reconnaissance skills, Lin Jun quickly understood the situation.

"You were surrounded by thirteen people. What did you do?"

"I don't know..." Dylan hasn't figured it out yet.

"Kill them all?"

Backpack straps ready to go.

There was one gold and twelve bronze ones, and it was not difficult to kill them all thanks to the terrain on the second floor of the tavern.

"Stop it, Boss, this is in the city!"

It is impossible for a city to be without diamond-level strongmen, let alone an important port city like Clark that connects the archipelago.

After making such a big fuss here, Dylan didn't think he could get away.

"I can't kill him... Then..." Lin Jun thought for a moment, and pointed in a direction with his backpack strap, "Across the street, the house with a red roof, rush in."

Hearing this, Dylan looked out the window and saw, sure enough, a warehouse with a red roof diagonally opposite.

Click--bang--

As soon as Dylan confirmed the location, the door was violently opened.

"It's you!?"

Standing outside the door were several guards and a knight in silver-gray armor. Although she was wearing a helmet this time, Dylan recognized her at once.

So it was exposed at that time?

But why?

Without thinking too much, Dylan decisively broke the window and jumped out.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

The knight actually charged straight forward, and although he didn't kill Dylan, he knocked down the wall directly!

Dylan jumped from the second floor to the ground, and faced with two guards with guns, he did not dare to fight at all.

Relying on [Dodge LV4] and [Acceleration LV6], he managed to dodge away without getting hurt.

The knight behind her had already jumped down, and she just stomped her foot on the spot.

[Speed ​​LV5]

Even though the female knight Liadrin was wearing heavy armor, she did not seem slow at all. With the help of her skills, she quickly chased after Dylan.

And further behind were the guards who were hurrying up.

Red roof warehouse! Red roof warehouse!

With the advantage of running a few steps first, Dylan rushed to the outside of the red-roof warehouse.

But there is no time to leisurely knock on the door. Although I don’t know why the boss pointed here, I think it’s right to just run in.

【Spin Slash LV5】

Dylan used his three-pronged attack again!

The gate was just an ordinary wooden door, and the wooden latch at the back broke under the blow.

Without delay, Dylan plunged in.

Dylan realized something was wrong when he came in.

Why are there so many people in an empty warehouse?

Why are all these people wearing black robes?

Why not light a lamp instead of a candle on the ground?

What are these circles on the ground?

There was a man in a black robe with dark magical energy gathered in his hands...

All the people in black robes looked at Dylan in astonishment, as if they had not expected someone to suddenly rush in.

Behind Dylan, the female knight had caught up and was blocking the door.

"Ah! I see. This is a gathering of Abyss Magic users. I was wondering why there are so many targets with high magic power here." The boss looked as if he had just figured it out.

Dylan's face turned pale.

What's worse than being hunted by a group of people?

Of course, he was being chased by two groups of people!

"Troublemaker!" The black robed men's hands lit up with black light representing abyss magic.

"So you are a user of black magic, no wonder..." The knight crushed some props and formed a translucent protective film around his body.

"Boss, do I have to die today?" Dylan was caught in the middle, his face looking as ugly as it could be.

"Damn it!"

Purple mist gushed out from the backpack, and the sweet and fishy smell instantly spread all around.

【Hallucinogenic Spores LV6】

The familiar smell made Dylan, who was at the center, a little dazed.

"What are you daydreaming about? Run away now!"

The boss's voice woke Dylan up all of a sudden. Relying on the resistance he had built up day after day, Dylan ran to the corner in the direction indicated by the backpack.

Behind Dylan, the knight and the man in black robe soon started fighting in the chaos.

"Quick! Activate the magic circle!" A distorted roar came from somewhere.

Immediately, Dylan felt a chill as if seeping from deep in his bones. Something was very wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly where the problem was.

Although the surface of his skin was intact, the feeling of exhaustion from the elapse of life spread throughout his body - as if a pair of invisible hands were grasping his heart and slowly tightening.

However, Lin Jun clearly "saw" that Dylan was cursed again.

[Withering Curse: The upper limit of health gradually decreases]

Not only was Dylan cursed, but so was the scout, and there was no time limit.

If there is no time limit, then there is a scope limit!

Lin Jun directly commanded: "Sneak out now and try to run as far away as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Dylan's body color changed and became similar to the wall.

The light in the warehouse was dim, and the hallucinogenic spores had not yet completely dispersed, so Dylan's whereabouts were concealed very well.

The two groups of people in the warehouse were almost fighting each other.

The man in black robe wanted to use the formation and abyss magic to kill the knight. Many guards had been killed and fell to the ground, their life or death unknown.

The knight wanted to destroy the formation, and although he was forced back after several charges, he managed to chopped down several men in black robes.

At a time like this, no one had time to notice that something the same color as the wall had sneaked out.

When they were a little further away, Dylan just started running.

The farther I ran, the lighter the palpitations seemed to become.

Just when Dylan relaxed a little, the boss suddenly reminded him: "Be careful."

careful?

What to be careful about?

Dylan looked around and finally saw a figure walking in the darkness ahead.

He was wearing a loose silk dress, with two swords, one long and one short, stuck on his waist, which were obviously not ordinary swords.

"Boss, who is this?"

No response...

Dylan didn't dare to move rashly. The boss said to be careful, not to run!

As he got closer, Dylan could see the man's appearance clearly - an ordinary middle-aged man.

You can find a lot of people like this in the tavern. Apart from the two swords, Dylan couldn't see anything special about this man.

But the boss shouldn’t be wrong!

"What happened over there?" the middle-aged man asked casually.

"No... I don't know. A knight and his guards suddenly started fighting with someone..."

Dylan naturally wouldn't say it had anything to do with him. The middle-aged man nodded and continued to walk forward at a moderate pace.

Just after passing Dylan, he suddenly stopped, stared at the backpack on Dylan's back for a long time, and even touched the hilt of the dagger, seeming a little hesitant.

However, he had already entered the range of the formation of the group of black-robed men. After feeling a palpitation, the middle-aged man obviously realized what this was.

He withdrew his gaze without further delay and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Dylan shuddered as if he had finally escaped from the lion's sight.

In fact, not only Dylan, but Lin Jun also felt the final strong sense of oppression, and at one point thought that the guy was really going to chop him down.

"Boss, who is that?"

This time Lin Jun didn't continue pretending to be dead.

"Well...is there anyone among you humans who is called a sword master?"

[Name: Alvin Slaine]
