Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 757: Doubtful

The relevant people quickly gathered at the location where the scouts claimed to have found the target wood.

Uzov arrived a step late because of the need to arrange the actions of a large group of people. When he arrived at the destination, he saw the craftsmen belonging to the Grand Duke of Kavi leading their apprentices to appraise the wood.

The found wood is suspected to be the target of the silver-grained camphor. It is characterized by a strong smell that permeates the air. But this time, it is used to make wardrobes used by nobles, just like the magic materials used by magicians. Even if they are of the same type, there are still differences in whether they can be used or not.

For example, hollow and crooked necks, they can only be made from materials to make small objects, not large ones. In addition to poor appearance, there are also some magic materials with extremely uneven power distribution, which are defective. If you want to use it, you can only take part of it, and you can't make a big object, and even some picky magicians will directly discard this defective product.

Sometimes the treatment after felling is not good enough, which makes the wood unusable. It's as if the monster's skinning and tanning work is not done well, the skin is equivalent to useless.

That's why experienced craftsmen are needed for identification, and professional lumberjacks are needed to handle it. It's not just any adventurer who hacks randomly and can use it by bringing back the same type of wood.

But luck is very good, after the Duke's master craftsman appraised it, it was confirmed that the scattered silver-patterned camphor trees in front of him could be used, and a group of people prepared to start logging.

But whether or not trees can be cut in this forest is not determined by these craftsmen and loggers, but depends on whether the guards agree or not. In the lost and dangerous areas, guards who are hired to protect other people's lives, when the employer does not cooperate with what they think is safe, the guard has the right to resolutely abandon the employer who is looking for death on the grounds of protecting his own safety. leave on their own.

Don't look at such a rule as cruel, and what the uncle who pays the money wants to do, how can the person who takes the money to do things not agree. No contract spirit at all!

In fact, in that dangerous place, in order to survive, the guards broke the feet of their employers who had no combat effectiveness, and thereby attracted the chasing monsters, which was nothing new.

Anyway, if they can leave the forest alive, the rest are accomplices, and no one can tell the ugly deeds they did when they were in danger in that forest. And those who died in the forest have no way to come forward and complain about everything that was betrayed.

Therefore, instead of testing the character of the guards, it is better to put the ugly words in the front, and it can also curb all kinds of fancy death behaviors of some old men. Because it has been made clear that in the dangerous wilderness, if you don't follow my instructions, please die, it is more likely to make some people restrain themselves.

In Midi, the most valuable thing is loyalty, and the least valuable thing is also loyalty.

So even if the craftsmen belonged to the Grand Duke's team, they only asked the loggers to make preparations first, and did not really start work. Aside from those obstinate ways of looking for death, they also hope to have a safe working environment in dangerous areas. It is also impossible to really ignore the suggestions of those guards and just stick to their own ideas.

Uzov, who was one step behind everyone, did not go forward after getting the wood of the target tree species available, and took a look at the silver-patterned camphor, which is also a high-grade wood magic material. He took two or three alliance friends to inspect the surrounding environment.

"What do you think of camping here?" Uzov asked his friend.

The leader of the guards, who had a considerable status in the Turtledove Alliance, followed Uzov around, and of course understood what this friend wanted to see. So to the question, he quickly replied: "Although it is not the most ideal environment. But there is still some time before dark, so it should be no problem to arrange it properly."

After getting the same opinion, Uzov ordered: "Okay, then let people camp here overnight. We will start the felling operation tomorrow morning."

You can prepare to rest early, and no one expresses dissatisfaction. Besides, even if the logging work is started immediately, it will be night time when everything is processed, so it is better to start it in the daytime tomorrow. So everyone moved neatly to clean up the environment and set up a temporary camp.

At this time, the young scout came up to Uzov again, rubbed his hands, and asked with a smile, "Boss, how about I go back and look for that bear? I heard that bear paws are delicious, but I haven't eaten them yet."

Uzov patted the young man on the back of the head angrily, and said: "If you go back alone, I really can't be sure who ate who. Don't think so much, and look around with those veterans. That's fine. No one is going to leave the team and go back to find something that is not sure if it is still in place."

"The bear is gone?" asked the young man innocently.

"It has four legs, and it will stay where it is, waiting for you to go back and kill it. Don't think so much, learn from those veterans, they are people with real skills, even I am in their Learned a lot from him.”

"Okay."

At night, the campground in the forest is quite lively. Although there is no wine, as members of the Turtle Dove Alliance, there are very few people who can't play the piano and sing a few words casually. And this time it wasn't some serious military operation, so everyone was chatting and chattering in a rather relaxed mood.

Of course, the guards on the periphery are quite serious. Because they don't want to let something that shouldn't happen happen because of a mistake made by the guards when they are relaxing. What kind of return one wants to get, one must pay the same price. This is the basic spirit of the alliance.

And beside the campfire, several female warriors, including Maier, were naturally the objects of courtship. But no matter if it is the women who are also veteran adventurers, or the dark elf-born Maier, they can handle these things with ease. Of course, there are also people who are interested in going into the depths of the forest hand in hand, only to return after a while. Some people may envy the dewy marriage, but that's all.

People from the technical guild, no matter whether they are allies or not, they are used to making friends, and they naturally blend into the relaxed atmosphere of the guards.

On the contrary, the team of craftsmen from the Grand Duke was somewhat self-reliant and couldn't let go of their emotions. Several young people looked at the positions of several women enviously, but they were stared at by the old man in the lead, and they retracted their heads as if they were wilted.

When the hustle and bustle of the camp gradually subsided, except for the bonfire, everyone else found a place to sleep, and Uzov sat next to Maier, who was still asleep.

The dark elf jokingly said, "Is this loneliness, or is it cold and you need me to warm you up?"

Uzov said with a wry smile: "I want to ask about the things you mentioned during the day. They are people under the Grand Duke."

"Oh, it looks like you're not blind yet." Maier showed an appreciative look.

"That kid is following the master. But his actions are not like a young apprentice at all. Many things are too deliberate, and they become very obvious. If you still can't see it, I'm in vain." Wu Zuo The husband lowered his voice and said, "I just want to ask you to confirm whether what you found is what I said."

Maier didn't have Uzov's mysterious attitude, but he also said softly, "If there is no one with better acting skills, then you and I should find the same one."

After receiving the dark elf's reply, Uzov nodded slightly to a member of the Turtledove Alliance not far away, and turned his head away calmly. If you don't pay attention, others will never find that the two are connected.

Maier looked at the man in front of him with great interest, as if meeting him for the first time. Uzov stared at such a beautiful beauty for a long time, no matter how thick-skinned he couldn't help coughing a few times, trying to hide his embarrassment. But he still asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

"I always feel that your people seem to be very used to doing this kind of thing." Maier pointed to the secret contact method that he saw just now.

Please help me, [Mimi Reading App] can steal book tickets like stealing vegetables, come and steal books voted for by friends’ book tickets.

Facing such doubts, Uzov smiled shyly, and said, "I've done this kind of thing a lot before. I always enter the territory of other noble lords, trying to save this person and that person. It's a serious adventure. Journeys, but not many times."

It was only then that Maier remembered that the main policy of the Turtledove Alliance was to help each other, and what it actually did was a group of people who offended the powerful were helping each other. Then because of such behavior, he offends the new dignitaries, or offends the original enemy even more, a perfect vicious circle. This is also the reason why the Turtledove Alliance's reputation is not so good in the eyes of most people.

As if to ease the embarrassment, Uzov said: "But although I know there is an insider, I still can't guess what he might do. After all, it is too easy to frame people in such a dangerous place."

Supporting the sharp and beautiful chin with her slender arms, Maier winked and said, "Do you need me to ask him for you?"

Uzov would not naively think that the dark elf was just going to talk~www.NovelMTL.com~ so he asked, "Can you not be discovered?"

"If there is one person missing, it is impossible not to be discovered. But as long as the arrangement is good, there is still a way to explain it."

Of course, Maier had thought about it, and used the biggest capital of women to make clichés. If it is in the comfort of the rear, do so, the chances of success are great.

But this is a place where life and death are at stake, and those who will be sent here will not be the kind of people who let go of their guards with warm words. And there is no such kind of idle time to talk, so it is natural to use all kinds of vigorous means to obtain information in the shortest possible time. But in doing so, there is no way to leave a whole person.

After considering the dark elf's suggestion, Uzov shook his head and rejected it. He said: "I don't know why the other party is eyeing us? Is it because of the boss's involvement, or the technical guild is attracting attention. Is the Grand Duke Kavi behind, or someone else? Compared with what trap he intends to set, I am more I want to know these answers. But if you are too hasty, there is a high possibility that you will get the wrong answer.”

Facing Uzov's concerns, Maier nodded in agreement. If the person who came was a dead man, it is not impossible to say some false information to confuse the public when he knows he has been exposed.

And Uzov had another consideration, saying: "Besides, we don't have any conclusive evidence that the man intends to set a trap and betray us. What if all this is just a misunderstanding. Even if it is not a misunderstanding, how can we tell other people Explain, or even explain to the Grand Duke himself? Or should we treat them equally and deal with them as traitors. If it turns out that all of this is just our carelessness, how much work will it take to get things back on track. So I My idea is to wait for him to expose himself. Until then, we just need to be on guard."
