"Cough, cough!"
Hemina crawled to the riverbank, dripping wet. She was much faster in the sea than on land.
But this was not the sea, but the Wright River, a freshwater river …
Hemina hated this kind of water that was not blessed by magic. It would only worsen her body's weakness.
She reached the riverbank and saw the merchant ship sailing on the Wright River clearly in the dark.
The merchant ship was surrounded by the raging fire. Even though she was by the river, she could smell something burning.
"I have to find a way to save him …"
Hemina lay on the riverbank and stared blankly at the merchant ship being engulfed by the flames. She did not expect Wand to give her a way to escape.
The river had depleted Hemina's last bit of magic. She did not even have the strength to climb up the riverbank with her hands.
Even a fisherman with a knife could kill her, let alone go back and save the wand from the assassins.
The riverbank was surrounded by an uninhabited forest. There was not even a man-made road to be seen, let alone asking for help from anyone.
Despair crept into Hemina's heart. Just then, Hemina heard a notification from the Weave.
The Weave?!
Hemina thought of the 'magic' that Wand had given her a week ago. It was a window that allowed her to communicate with people from all over the world.
She immediately opened the interface of the Weave. Hemina had been studying how to use the Weave, but she had only learned how to play the World Scar.
The notification just now came from the World Scar. Someone in the guild channel had specifically mentioned her and Wand.
"I just sent a private message to Wand. He did not reply. Maybe there's something. You can ask Tide."
"Tide, hurry and come to the Longblade Moor with Wand!"
Hemina looked at the messages that popped up in the guild channel. She used her hands to support her body by the riverbank, which was piled with gravel. She clicked on the virtual keyboard of the Weave with her blood-stained fingertips and spent almost a minute editing a paragraph.
"Save us."
"Save? Did you and Wand encounter a monster attack in the wilderness? "
"It might be a player attack. Send us the coordinates. We'll head over immediately."
Hemina looked at the replies from her guild members, and her cold heart gradually regained some warmth.
Although it was only in the game world, she might have really been treated as a companion by the members of this guild.
However … it was only limited to the game. Hemina immediately sent out a new message.
'Not in the game. The demons and I were attacked by a group of killers in the real world. I escaped … Wand was caught by them!'
After Hemina sent this message, the Scarlet Viper guild channel went silent for a while.
"Are any of you near Port Wright? Please inform the City Guard and Lord Groner! '
Hemina's mind was already in a state of chaos. She saw that the Scarlet Serpent still did not reply to her.
"Please believe me! I'm Lord Grona's granddaughter, there's no way to prove it on the Weave … '
'Tell me in detail, what is an assassin all about?'
Finally, the leader of the Scarlet Serpent, Snake's Eye, sent a message to the guild channel.
"The ones who attacked us are probably the Heresy Inquisitor, an assassin organization in the dark of the Kingdom of Saints."
Hemina knew that the group of people who attacked the merchant ship came from the Inquisitor. This group of cruel killers couldn't be dealt with by ordinary people. That was why she wanted the members of the Scarlet Serpent to inform the City Guard instead of asking for their help.
When Hemina sent this message, she found that the names of the members who were originally online in the guild channel had all turned gray.
These members logged out of the World Scar when they saw Hemina's message.
This was also a matter of course. There were very few organizations in the world that wanted to tangle with the Heresy Inquisitor … Not to mention that ordinary people would definitely avoid this name immediately.
It was just a friend she met in the game, there was no need to take such a big risk.
Realizing this, Hemina clenched her hands unwillingly … But suddenly, a new message popped up in the guild channel.
"Where are you now? Send the coordinates. "
This message also came from the Snake's Eye.
"I am in the middle of the Wright River, very far from the Port of Wright, next to the Deep Green Swamp."
Hemina saw the message from the Snake's Eye as if grasping the last straw. Perhaps he was the only member who was willing to help her.
"Hold on for a while, we are coming right away."
The next message from the Snake's Eye stunned Hemina.
Coming right away?
"The Heresy Inquisitor is a group of terrible killers! You can't deal with them … Please go find the City Guard. "Hemina realized that the other party was probably going to rescue them personally.
"Don't worry, killing … We are also professionals."
After leaving this message, the name of the only two members of the Scarlet Serpent who were still online turned from green to gray.
Also professionals? The huge amount of information sent Hemina into a state of confusion, but Hemina suddenly saw the guild emblem hanging next to her name. It was a scarlet serpent biting her tail.
Hemina did not have much of an impression when she was playing, but Hemina suddenly remembered a group of thugs who were wanted by the Nation of Waterfront a few years ago. Rumor had it that after they slaughtered all the residents of a city, they burned the city down and left.
This rumor was later proven to be false, but this terrifying name had long been imprinted in the hearts of every Nation of Waterfront … Yafferk's Snake.
… …
The capital of the Nation of Waterfront.
"The teleportation fee to the Port of Wright costs two hundred nautical gold! Keya … You're going there just because of a message from your friend online? "
The archer's sister grabbed the archer's collar and questioned him loudly.
"What if it's true? Sister is the only two priests in our guild, and there's also the Nephilic Judge! Don't you want to take revenge on the Nephilic Judge? "
The archer's feet had already left the ground, and he weakly defended himself in front of his sister like a rabbit. He looked at Rona and Reyek who were beside him for help.
"Trustworthy?"
Reyek and Rona's discussion was much more rational. The Port of Wright was too far from their goal.
"The manager of the Port of Wright is indeed Sir Grona, and even if we rush to the Port of Wright, it will take more than half a day to reach the middle reaches of the Wright River," Rona said.
"There are Sea Hawks for rent at the port," Morris who had been silent suddenly said.
The Sea Hawk was a giant eagle with a wingspan of five meters. Although humans could not sit on it, they could hold hands under the sharp claws of the giant eagle, allowing humans to travel for a short distance.
"We can reach there in a short time with the Sea Hawk, but that's not what we should do." Reyek's words caused the archer to instantly stop struggling. However, Reyek then signaled Rona with his eyes, and Rona quickly understood what his leader meant.
Reyek stood up and walked out of the temporary base of the Yafferk's Snake, while Rona turned around and shouted to all the party members present.
