The cough that came out of nowhere made Hilton's mind calm down.
In the end, his fear of a certain someone overwhelmed his physiological reactions. Crestfallen, the blond man ran to the side with his tail between his legs and obediently removed the poison from the Tier 2 Swordsman's wounds. After a while, Amy, Edward's young attendant, woke up as well. Following her was Green, Hansen, and the other attendants. One after another, Edward's other attendants woke up.
Because Luo Luo had also been hit by the Great Magician's brick, she had been unconscious for longer than the others. When she woke up, she cried out in pain. The poor girl's forehead had only been swollen for a short while, but now her forehead was swollen again.
The second bump was very close to the first one, and it was about the same size. So, the first person she suspected was someone with a criminal record.
However, when Lolo looked around angrily, she realized that the others had woken up. Only the young scholar and the old Rogue were still lying on the ground like corpses.
The latter's injuries were too severe. After all, his heart was injured, and he had lost a lot of blood. Although the effect of Hypnosis had expired, Edward was still unconscious. Fortunately, Hilton had cast Heal on him in time, so the old Rogue's life was not in danger. After treating Hansen's wound, Blond cast Heal and Blood Regeneration on Edward.
As for the young scholar, no one knew what had happened to him. From the outside, he seemed to be fine, but no one knew why he had been unconscious for so long.
Lolo originally wanted to question him, but when she saw him in this state, she was a little uncertain. According to Hilton, who was the first to wake up, the young scholar had been in the same position for so long, not moving at all.
After a while, Archmage finally opened his eyes and yawned. When he saw the rookie Brave staring at him, Rob asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hmph, don't you know what you've done?" Lolo snorted coldly and looked at the little follower suspiciously.
However, this time, the Archmage was prepared. Before he attacked, he had confirmed that the girl was still in a coma and would not be caught red-handed like last time. In other words, as long as he refused to confess, the girl would never know who attacked her for the rest of her life.
"What do I know?" Rob frowned, as if he couldn't understand.
Strange, could it be that she had misunderstood him?
The rookie Brave was shaken by his behavior. The girl scratched her head and accidentally touched the big bump on her head, causing her to grimace in pain.
Unfortunately, there were too many things that couldn't be explained. Compared to the mysterious bump on the rookie Brave's head, everyone was more concerned about how they survived the female assassin.
This question was only answered when the secret door was reopened, and the scene in the room shocked everyone.
The female assassin and the Elven Archer's corpses were hugging each other like a couple in love. However, there were traces of each other's weapons on their bodies, and Maria's hands were still strangling Beck's neck. This scene was obviously caused by internal strife, probably because they couldn't split the loot evenly. The two of them quarreled, and the conflict escalated into a big fight, and finally, they killed each other.
During that time, the Elven Archer shot the female assassin with an arrow, and the female assassin returned a few slashes.
At least, that was how it looked like … No way!!!
Everyone was going crazy. Even if they wanted to get rid of the disguise, they had to be more careful. Who would break another person's head in a fight!
Moreover, there was an obvious wound on Maria's neck, and the cut was as smooth as the one on the Elven Archer's neck. Both of them had obviously died at the hands of a third person.
Well, many people might have the illusion that beheading was easy, but in fact, when you chopped a pig's leg, you would know, especially when chopping bones, it was easy to get stuck. Even if it wasn't stuck, it was difficult to exert force so evenly. For example, Hansen could also chop off a person's head with all his strength, but the cut would definitely not be so smooth. Unless it was a high-grade swordsman, it would be impossible to do so.
Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that the person who did it was a magician. If it was magic, it would not be strange to cause such a wound. Just like the wind blade that Edward released with his magic device, not to mention cutting the spine, he could even cut through armor as easily as cutting through butter. The double kill that the old Thief had previously completed had let everyone witness the power of the magic device. In fact, the wounds on Maria and Beck were very likely caused by the wind blade, but the location of the wound was a little too accurate.
At this time, Edward finally woke up. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look for his ring. This magic device was bought by the old Thief for more than 150 gold coins. He had saved the money for more than 20 years, and when he bought it, he could use it three times. The first time he used this ring was eight years ago, when Edward was in a desperate situation during an expedition. In the end, he relied on this trump card to turn the situation around.
And this time, he almost turned the tide again. If it wasn't for Maria's quick reaction, Archmage might not have had to do anything.
However, the old Thief also paid a huge price. Casting magic once was equivalent to spending 50 gold coins, and after that, his finger was cut off by the female assassin.
Fortunately, the ring was not lost, but after picking it up and looking at it, Edward's heart turned cold. Judging from the luster on it, this magic device could be considered to be completely useless.
After knowing the result, everyone came over to comfort Maria. Even until now, they did not know which kind-hearted passerby killed Maria and Beck and saved them. In any case, if it wasn't for the old Thief's burst of power, they would not have lasted until the mysterious expert appeared. Even a selfish person like Hilton expressed his gratitude to Edward.
Lolo even generously expressed that she was willing to transfer her share of the rewards from the expedition to the old Thief as compensation. Previously, she had raided the old Thief's lair with her little follower and earned a lot of money. The problem of tuition fees was basically solved, and there was no urgent need for the rewards from this expedition.
Speaking of which, Archmage seemed to have discovered another advantage of the rookie The Brave. The girl usually looked like a little money grubber, but in fact, she did not have a strong desire for money. Once her minimum needs were met, she would start to think for others.
Even when she was at her lowest, she did not really make things difficult for others for money. She only let the future Supreme Magus Your Honor be her temporary follower, and promised the youth that no matter the outcome of this expedition, their debts would be written off.
