"Please come in, Lord Labour, Mr. Lauder is waiting for you inside." The boatman gestured with his hand.
Lin En nodded, pushed the door and walked in. Only then did he realize that the dilapidated scene outside was just a disguise, and there was a whole different world inside the house.
The surrounding walls are all made of thick stones. Many valuable oil paintings and sculptures are hung on the mirror-smooth walls, and the air is filled with a light scent of perfume.
In sharp contrast to this elegant environment, there were sturdy men holding axes standing on both sides of the room. They stared at Lin En who came in with a fierce look, as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Lame Lord was standing in front of the long table at this moment. He looked to be about fifty years old, with white hair, a thin and hunched body. The most eye-catching thing was naturally his wooden artificial leg.
The moment he saw Lynn, Lord's anger suddenly rose up and he scolded her angrily.
"Rabel, are you crazy? I should have told you not to cause me any trouble recently..."
"But you actually had a big fight with Bob at the port today just for a shipload of cargo. Do you know that the Vatican may have noticed us? Two batches of ships have been detained in the past three days..."
Lord cursed bitterly, but soon found that there was something wrong with Labul in front of him. Under his accusations, he did not show any fear or horror, but was getting closer to him step by step.
"Wait... you are not Labul!" Lord's mind was full of thoughts and he realized it immediately. He took a few steps back with a look of horror, looked at the guards around him, and shouted orders.
"Stop him!"
Those who could enter this room were all Lord's confidants carefully selected by him, so when the strong men guarding around heard the order, they raised the axes in their hands and chopped them down without any hesitation.
[Start overload mode, the time is three seconds! ]
Just before the axe blade was about to hit him, Lin En silently said in his mind.
In an instant, all the positions and movements in the room were transformed into data and presented in my mind.
Lynn casually dodged a sudden attack from a sturdy man by moving sideways, snatched the axe from the other's hand, kicked him away, then turned around and swung the axe handle, hitting the unlucky guy's stomach hard with the back of the axe, then rushed forward with the axe, quickly knocking all the remaining guards to the ground.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lord had already turned over and jumped over the long table that was blocking his way. The wooden prosthetic leg on his right was even more agile than his real leg. With a whistling sound, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in just three or two steps.
Lame Lord... ran so fast!
Such a strange sight made Lin En stunned for a moment, but fortunately he reacted immediately, raised his hand, and several crystal ice blades appeared in the air.
At the same time, Lord also felt the intimidation coming from behind him, but he ignored it because the secret passage was right in front of him and he could touch it by just reaching out.
However, the speed of the ice blade was much faster. It hit his right leg prosthesis first. Lord lost his balance and fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner. Then another [Ice Blade] flew over and pierced his robe.
"Keep running!" Lin En approached step by step and said in a cold voice. In order to meet Lord, he had put in a lot of effort in the past few days, so naturally he would not let the other party escape.
However, Lin En soon realized that what he said sounded a bit like a villain's remarks, and then he changed the subject and explained.
"In fact, I'm here to save you, Mr. Loud!"
Okay, he believed it for now!
…
After a friendly exchange between the two sides, the previous small misunderstanding was resolved. Lord called a few of his men to clean up the messy hut, and then invited Lin En to sit down.
"Mr. Wizard, you came to see me specially. Do you have any instructions?" Lord asked cautiously.
"Of course I'm here to save you!" Lin En said without hesitation. "As far as I know, the Vatican has secretly sent 3,000 guards into the harbor town. They should be targeting the [Ship Gang]!"
"That may not be the case..." Lord shook his head. Of course, he also received the news, but he did not agree with Lin En's judgment.
"Just three days ago, Archbishop Anruk of Nordland led his men to raid the town of Ur, but they encountered a powerful wizard. They paid a heavy price before they were able to repel the enemy. These 3,000 guards should be used to guard against that wizard."
Having said that, Loud suddenly looked at Lynn, with a vague guess in his mind.
"Yes, I was the one who fought with the archbishop before!" Lin En nodded, without any intention of hiding anything.
Seeing that Lin En admitted it, Loud couldn't help but be secretly shocked. From the information he had received before, although Bishop Anluik succeeded in repelling the wizard in the end, he himself also suffered an incurable serious injury.
Rumor has it that the place where the two sides fought was burned to ashes, and the terrifying fire has not been extinguished to this day...
This shows how powerful and strange this magic is...
Could it be that the person sitting in front of him is a great wizard?
No, not likely.
Lord quickly rejected this conjecture. He had witnessed the power of the great wizard. When he cast a spell with all his strength, he could even temporarily freeze the whirlpool known as the natural disaster [Eye of Death]. If he possessed such power, then the one who escaped should be Bishop Anruk.
In view of this, Lord immediately concluded that the other party should be a powerful three-ring wizard!
Lin En didn't know what Loud was thinking, so he continued to explain. "If you think the Vatican is making such a big fuss just to target me, then you are too stupid. Anluk's real goal is to find a route to the land of wizards, otherwise the archbishop would not have to come to the harbor town on purpose."
"In addition, I also received a piece of news that Anruk captured several wizard apprentices on his way to the harbor town."
"They are all disciples of Kelu, and they all know that this route is related to the [Ship Gang]. The Church has not taken any action yet, probably because they have not been able to get enough information from them yet."
"There's not much time left for you and me!" Lin En said solemnly.
