Vol 2 Chapter 95: Doubt and temptation (Part 1)

When Loren left from the carriage, the entire camp was already messed up-the wailing caravan servants and livelihoods were trembling behind the carriage, he even saw many people quietly praying to the Holy Cross. There are a few more pants that have been peeing.
The remaining dozen caravan guards gathered to form a line, shielding the ghouls out of the camp, and the remaining few kept shooting at the monsters that were thrown with bows and crossbows. Keep them from rushing into the camp.
But these crossbow arrows could not cause much damage to the ghouls. The monster who fell to the ground pulled out the arrow with a grin, and rushed even more fiercely, dragging a guard directly from the queue and watching everyone. Among them, screaming was torn into pieces by countless pairs of claws and fangs!
The creepy guards stared at the deeper forest, and there were nearly a hundred ghouls wandering there, staring at them with hungry eyes, as if they were staring at a piece of scented meat.
Obviously, they had never encountered such monsters at all, and it was unclear how to deal with them. They were completely terrified by the sight before them. Until now, they have not escaped. It only shows that the salary paid by the employer is indeed high enough.
"Hold on, these monsters don't get out of the forest!" A caravan guard standing in the center shouted loudly, as if he was brave enough to beat and shield with his sword in his hand: "Continue to shoot arrows, hurry them Forest ... ah-! "
A hand that suddenly grabbed his shoulders startled him, but suddenly he turned around and saw a shorter figure. The guard who had just jumped up was immediately angry: "What are you doing ?! Exactly A bad luck just died, roll over to take his place! "
"Nothing, but is this the first time you have encountered such a monster?" Loren smiled lifelessly: "So how do you feel about being handed over to professionals to deal with them?"
"Professionals?" The guard froze for a moment, "What are you talking about ..."
Before he finished talking, Loren dragged him aside. The ghouls immediately noticed a gap in the queue and howled to pounce in this direction!
The soldiers exclaimed on both sides gathered towards the middle to close the gap, but it was too late. The dark-haired wizard under the hood lifted the corner of his mouth and threw the ignition agent in his hand forward.
"boom!"
The splashing sparks instantly swallowed several ghouls and screamed into coke. Seizing the opportunity, Loren rushed out of the guards' queue, pulled out his long sword, bitten a bottle of igniting agent and fell to his feet and sword.
Then the countdown ... Three, two, one, fire!
Howling ghouls pounced on him from all directions, and with the left hand of the "caster" lightly snapped their fingers, and the weak "Fire of Turin" instantly ignited the surrounding ignition agent!
Firelight and similar screams pushed the ghouls from the front. At the same time, one of the monsters crossed the explosion and jumped from the head of the black-haired wizard.
The long sword covered with pyrophoric agent turned around, and a smooth chopping from top to bottom, chopped it in half in the air, and the rubbing sword body was also ignited, and the flames like water flowed on the sword. .
Slowly raising the burning sword, the ghoul, who was just about to put it on, immediately retracted his claws back, twitching his teeth towards Loren, but always hiding back and forth where his sword could not touch .
At this point, the finally responded and grabbed the torch from a buddy: "Use this quickly, those monsters are afraid of fire, and they can drive them away with this thing!"
The surrounding caravan guards took over the guys and servants and handed over the butter torches. They waved the flames in their hands and protected themselves with shields. The bowmen who were hiding behind took out the rocket with some distress. To the ghouls who left the bill.
Under the threat of flame, the ghouls quickly fled into the forest, and the guards did not mean to continue to chase-these monsters were just terrified, but the number was still several times that of the caravan. Don't be afraid to hug up, no bones left for these guards to be eaten immediately!
The caravan guards who withdrew to the camp were finally relieved, and even began to cheer fortunately, and there was some change in the look of the dark-haired wizard.
These guards were also well-informed, knowing that Loren received commissions several times as many as they were, and there were naturally many people who were not convinced, only because the employer was indeed generous enough and had to rush back to Ebden, so no one had trouble.
Although some misunderstandings, they also understand why Loren can get so much commission. Several guards even wanted to step up and talk to the wizard of Lothal, and took the opportunity to get a few of these "fry when touched" bottles from him.
Loren had no time to take care of these guards, squatted on the ground and fiddled with the bones of the ghoul—just a long time ago in the ancient wood town, the wizard named Draco he had encountered knew how to manipulate this monster. , As long as you use an alchemy agent.
After several inspections, the dark-haired wizard did not find anything from these corpses, and he could not even feel any trace of the power of the void, which seemed completely uncontrolled.
But this is also normal-if it is really a wizard who wants to attack the caravan, these ghouls can't escape at all, because they simply don't have the intelligence to understand the tactic of "victory turn into".
So are these monsters attracted by caravans?
Squinting his eyes, Loren looked at the carriage behind him, what could attract the "goods" of the ghouls, what is it?
"I really trouble you, Your Excellency Loren Turin!"
The sweaty caravan leader wiped the sweat beads with a gentle smile on his face and trot: "If it were not for you, we didn't know how to deal with these monsters, there were no corpses on Eboden." What a ghost! "
"It's just a matter of raising my hand, let alone I've taken your commission, this kind of thing is taken for granted." Loren shook his head and stood up from the ground: "This is just a small suggestion. It is better to check the caravan's goods. . "
"Check the goods, why, why?"
"Because these ghouls should be attracted to some" goods "-and the things that can attract them are only carrion and something that emits stench."
"Carrion and something stinking ..." The mercenary leader of the sweating team froze for a moment, and then the chubby body suddenly jumped up in place: "Holy cross, horrible!"
Without waiting for Loren to ask, the chubby gentleman ran to a carriage at five times the speed of his usual time, shouting to let the fellows help open it.
"what the is it--?!"
The roar of the caravan leader and the stench emanating from the carriage spread throughout the camp at the same time. The whole car was lying with the body of the big horned deer, and it seemed to have been dead for several days.
This animal, like the ghouls, is a feature of the Principality of Lotel, and is even more famous than the latter-although it is just an ordinary animal, it is very popular with foreign merchants. Their horns and tendons are made. A good material for crossbows ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The meat quality is also very delicious.
"There should have been four adult big-horned deer, alive!" The angry Shangdu leader spit at the young man beside him: "You tell me what happened to them ?!"
"It, they ... died?"
"Nonsense, I asked how to die ?!"
"I, we don't know. It should have been okay a few days ago. I don't know why they suddenly stopped eating and drinking." The little boy narrowed his neck in panic: "I, I thought it was just ... not Comfortable. "
"Do you think? You're not only letting me lose four big horned deer, but also almost killed us all!" The chubby caravan leader pushed him hard: "Wait, come back I will drive you off at Ebden, and do n’t expect to be hired by any caravan!

Ignoring the wailing and wailing buddy, the hysterical caravan leader walked aside, not even noticing Loren walking behind him, and pointed his finger to the other car:
"What's in there?"
