Chapter 27: Paper Puppet Scarecrow (Part 1)

[Toothache, on this happy day of thousands of families. Try to post another chapter without waiting, it will be the same for reading tomorrow, and it will not affect the update tomorrow]

Salin didn't know what others were thinking about him, so he cast a level one magic, injected the water of repair into the water cup, and took it to drink it himself.

spendthrift!

Not only Walnut thought so, but casting magic is to consume magic strings. It casts a first-level magic for no reason just to quench its thirst. Even Franmingo listed Salin as a first-class dandy mage, and felt regretful.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, and everyone's attention was focused on Neris. Only then did Walnut realize that she had lost her composure. She smiled awkwardly, raised her wine glass to hide her uneasiness, and drank it all in one go.

After dinner, Salin and others went back to their rooms, but the people from the Nut Mercenary Group gathered in Franmingo's room and listened to Franmingo's arrangement of this mission.

"In this mission, everyone earns not gold coins, but two gold micas. Walnuts. You are a magician. This doesn't mean much to you. What compensation do you need?"

Walnut knew the leader’s temper and replied happily: “Just discount as usual, I still want one-eighth.”

"Okay, I guess the value of those two pieces of gold mica is 2,000 gold coins. If you have no objection, you can get 160 gold coins." Seeing that Walnut did not object, Franmine nodded with satisfaction and said to the others: "This mission is not difficult. Our escort targets themselves have combat power, except Aini. However, Aini is a member of the Clyde family after all, and she will have certain means of saving her life. What we need to focus on protecting is the magician named Salin."

"Why?" Walnut couldn't help asking.

"Because our mission rewards are likely to be on him. The first-level magician has no close combat power. Brothers Wachowski, you are responsible for protecting him closely, pay attention to the Caucasian female warrior named Shika, and assist her in defense when necessary. The Caucasians have good combat power. I saw that there was a boomerang hanging on her waist, and she had a certain ranged attack ability. If there was a fight, we still had to reduce some of our pressure."

"Yes, the leader."

The Wachowski brothers are heavy swordsmen in the regiment, with the thickest armor, and usually assists walnuts in battle.

"Jaberlin, you are a scout."

"What about me?" Walnut was a little confused when he saw Franmine assigning the scout's mission to the only gun warrior in the regiment. In the past, he relied on his own puppet to act as a scout, so why did the regiment commander change his habit this time?

"You are with me and are responsible for the support."

Walnut thought about it and understood what the leader meant. He was responsible for assisting the battle and would avoid consuming a large amount of magic cores or scrolls. The income of this mission was not very generous. If it was consumed too much, it would be less than worth the loss. If it was manipulated to detect the puppet, he would have to continue to consume the second level magic core for three months. This is not a small amount of money.

"Raul, you four, just protect Aini. We don't have a car this time, we all ride horses, be careful of the bows and arrows of the thieves, and there is no other problem."

"Yes, the leader."

"If the employer's physical permission, we will walk an extra hour a day. Let's go back and check our equipment. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Walnut, stay, the others, let's disperse." Franmingo waved his hand and sent his subordinates away, leaving only the magician.

That night, Neris' moans came from Salin's room again, which made everyone confirm their guesses. Salin was definitely from a big family, and relied on the power of gold coins to become a magician. How could a real magician be indulging in his voice, let alone his maid?

Such a magician cannot have any future.

The Skochenya people are nouveau riche, which really embarrasses the profession of magicians.

Salin didn't think about these problems. Once he set out on the road, he could not exercise with his badge. He had to hurry up and use every second. After using the badge, his mental power can be slightly enhanced, and the effect is much stronger than Medieval. As a magician, who would think that his mental power is too much?

The breathing sound in the room gradually calmed down. Salin was lying on the bed and suddenly felt alert. Outside the window, a palm-sized shadow drilled in through the gap in the window, but it was a paper man.

The paper man's facial features were drawn with red pens on his face, which were brightly colored and looked a little ferocious. After entering the window, he wanted to slip along the wall to the ground. Salin sat up suddenly, and the white light in his hand was emitted almost instantly.

Salin's ice cone technique is the magic he is most familiar with, and it is also the first level of magic he learned. The disadvantage of this magic is that the range is too close. Salin had to rely on the water-stitched shield to protect him in the mangrove forest, desperately narrowing the distance between him and the archer to exert the power of this magic.

The hotel room is not big, and there is no problem with magic range. The ice cone accurately penetrates the paper man's body and nails the paper man to the wall. The paper man struggles, making a low squeak, trying to tear open the wound with his hands and escape.

Neris jumped up from the floor and pounced over like a leopard, pulling the paper man off the wall and pinching it in the palm of his hand. The paper man's eyebrows and eyes were fierce, staring at Neris's face, and his eyes were still rotating with the red pen. Neris put the paper man under his nose, sniffed it, and suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the paper man's stomach.

"Nelise!" Salin was shocked, afraid that Nelise would have been captured by some witchcraft.

Neris returned to the bedside, sat on the floor, and whispered: "It's a paper puppet, a very ancient spell."

"How could you understand?" Salin was puzzled. After Neris arrived in the Meers Continent, he was trapped in the temple of the Goddess of Nature. How could he understand human magic?

Neris pointed to her head and said, "I can't explain it clearly here."

"Then will you use it?"

“I just have an impression.”

Salin didn't feel that Neris was lying and believed her words. Many of the demons' abilities are inherited by blood and do not require the guidance of the teacher. This is where the demons are stronger than humans. However, it seems that humans also had this ability a long time ago. For some reason, with the demise of the Second Dynasty, this ability became increasingly weaker and completely disappeared thousands of years ago.

In a room not far away, Walnut groaned, blood oozed out of her mouth and nose, and she fell softly on the bed.

He didn't expect that Salin was so sensitive and could break the spiritual imprint in his puppet technique. Before he could see clearly the situation in Salin's room, his puppet had been destroyed.

Walnut's facial features were twisted, even more ferocious than the paper man's expression. Franmine left him alone just now, and specifically reminded him not to provoke Salin.

Walnut was timid on the surface, but was very angry in his heart.

You are just richer than me. If I were born into a rich family, I would have been a great magician. I hid my anger in front of Franmine. Walnut returned to the room and was stimulated by the sound from Salin's room and could not fall asleep. The evil thoughts in my heart could no longer be suppressed.

So he quietly released a paper puppet and wanted to take advantage of Salin's exhaustion. Even if he couldn't kill Salin, he might have a chance to steal something from Salin.

If you could steal that white crystal ring, it would be worth it even if you quit the Nut Mercenary Group. After taking the thing, you would immediately fly away. What if Franmingo was angry? I quit!

He was careful enough to detect Salin's room quietly without using a magic alarm, so that the paper puppet was allowed to penetrate the window. Who knew that the puppet would be discovered immediately.

Walnut wiped away the blood from his face, and did not care about the injuries on his body. He grabbed his carry-on skin, carried it behind his back, pushed open the door, and sneaked out.

Since Salin discovered his paper puppet, he could never stay in the Nut Mercenary Group again. Things were revealed and Franmine would kill him.

The most taboo thing about professional unions is that mercenaries betray their employers. Once such a thing happens, as the leader, your mercenary group will be removed from the list and will also be on the wanted list.

Franmingo would not have joined the entire mercenary group for himself. Walnut knew in his heart that if he had not had such special skills, how could a level 5 mercenary group fall in love with him as a level 2 magician? The current situation would not allow him to regret it. He could only leave here as soon as possible and never appear in the Qinyin Empire from then on.

Taking advantage of the night, Walnut left the hotel and hurriedly fled to the town. The further away from the hotel, the more aggrieved he felt. Why did he not have the good life of Salin? Moreover, for this damn playboy, he actually left the country where he had lived for many years and wandered in a foreign land.

He never thought that Salin didn't provoke him from beginning to end, and the ending was all caused by his jealousy.

"Who!"

Walnut came to the city gate and the soldiers responsible for night patrol discovered him. A small town of this size would not be so alert if it weren't on the border. It was too close to the chaotic swamp, and warcraft often appeared in the outskirts of the city.

"It's me." Walnut answered casually, but his hands began to chant the curse. The two night patrol soldiers were puzzled that Walnut's magic had been completed.

"Go to die!"

The spikes formed by two rocks raised from the ground, pierced into the crotch of the two soldiers and went straight into the abdomen. At this moment, Walnut regarded the two soldiers who stopped him as Salin, and could not resist the murderous intent.

The two soldiers were ordinary people, and under the attack of the second-level magic, they had no ability to resist and died instantly. After killing people, Walnut still felt that the resentment in his chest could not be eliminated. He threw two fireballs on the corpse, completely burning the two soldiers to ashes, and then used the huge force technique to push open the city gate and leave.

After killing the soldiers, Walnut was also a little scared and dared not walk on the main road and went east along the small road. He did not dare to go west. The forest to the west was not something that he, a second-level magician, could not enter or exit. If he wanted to leave the Principal of Phoenix, he could only detour, pass through the Principal of Rhine, and leave the country in the Principal of Galoran.
