Because the attack was so sudden, the arrows that could curve hit two people.
The third arrow was knocked away.
The charging warrior simply smashed his shield into the face of a Mage who was slow to react.
With a smack, the Mage was sent flying, his head smashed into a red tofu flower.
White and red things burst out.
Then, a Barbarian roared and jumped out of the darkness, and a Rogue suddenly appeared behind a Mage and launched a Kidney Strike.
As soon as these four people appeared, they killed four men in gray robes.
The enemy's formation and attacks were immediately disrupted.
Roland extended his hand and pointed, and several Arcane Bullets spurted out, killing five enemies in three seconds.
"We've been tricked, retreat!"
The leading man in gray roared and turned to leave.
However, it was no longer up to them.
The dozen of them had even brought Demon Slaying Arrows and Spatial Anchoring Scrolls just to deal with Roland.
In reality, they weren't very strong, but they had a lot of people and targeted equipment, which was a little troublesome for Roland.
However, as soon as their formation was broken and Roland had reinforcements, the situation was completely reversed.
Roland snapped his fingers, and a dozen Hands of Magic flew out, working with his four friends to capture people.
Very soon, they returned, a few Hands of Magic dragging two people, and the other four friends were empty-handed.
They shook their heads helplessly at Roland.
Barbarian Li Lin explained, "They're all corpses. They immediately stopped moving when we caught up to them. They all have livor mortis and have been dead for a long time."
And Roland looked at the two people his Hands of Magic brought back. One of them also stopped moving, but in fact, the other was still struggling.
Without hesitation, he tore off the man's wolf-shaped scarf, only to find that the man had blond hair and blue eyes and a very different temperament.
Stunned, he narrowed his eyes and said, "You're a player."
The man stopped struggling and chuckled. "You actually saw through me."
"I have no grudge against you, right?" Roland asked in confusion, "Why are you targeting me?"
"Who knows, I just received a quest to deal with you, so I'm very interested." The player laughed unconcernedly. "Think about it, isn't it interesting and exciting to hunt the strongest Mage player in the whole server?"
"Interesting?" Roland stomped on the man's stomach, causing him to cry out in pain, but that was all. After all, players only felt one-tenth of pain. "Is it fun to sell human organs and kill ordinary people?"
The man lay on the ground and coldly snorted, "Don't randomly accuse me. Although I'm not a good person, I won't do anything bad either. Is PvP between players a heinous crime? "
Stunned, Roland cast an alignment detection spell, only to discover, to his surprise, that the man's head was green.
In other words, he really didn't do anything bad.
"Hahahaha!" The player laughed arrogantly. "Roland, although you're smart enough to guess that we were going to trick you and then counterattack, you'll never know who's dealing with you. You'll never know."
Roland sneered. "Isn't it just a lich?"
"It's fine if you think so."
The player burst into laughter, then stood up and lunged at Roland, but his head flew off midway.
Barbarian Li Lin withdrew his longsword, looking rather mad.
Looking at the body on the ground, Roland heaved a helpless sigh. "It seems that we've run out of leads again."
It was a trap designed to deal with Roland.
Roland even suspected that his meeting with the female swordsman, Watson, was within the enemy's expectation.
However, the enemy's scheme couldn't be specific to an individual. It was probably the Sea King's way of casting a net and catching more fish, and one of the fish that slipped through the net would report the situation to Roland.
He speculated that many players had received quests to investigate the organ trade.
All they had to do was rely on a "variable" to deliver the intelligence to Roland, and then let Roland run into the encirclement himself.
However, Roland wasn't stupid.
When he killed Johnson and subdued Jakang, he felt that something was wrong. Things were going too smoothly.
Also, his instincts as a Mage told him that it was dangerous.
Therefore, he spent some time contacting his four friends and brought them to Aiello with teleportation. He asked them to follow him and help him if he was in danger.
It turned out to be exactly as Roland had expected.
The enemy was setting up a trap.
To be able to set up such a huge net just to capture him … it seemed like the enemy's influence was not simple.
Were they players?
No, they couldn't be that strong.
After all, the Phoenix Guild was the biggest guild at this moment, and the main forces of the major guilds were all on the Realm of Devils Expedition to catch succubi.
Those who stayed in the main plane were either idlers like Roland, low-level combat players, or casual players.
Roland thought for a moment and asked Li Lin and the others, "Do you want me to send you back?"
Li Lin waved his hand. "That's unnecessary. We're traveling everywhere. This place isn't bad. I'm told that the girls here are very skilled."
Roland covered his forehead helplessly. "Here you go again. Didn't you say that you'd be disgusted for a long time?"
"We haven't talked to the girls for four months," said Li Lin pitifully.
The other three also put on a mysterious smile.
"Okay, you guys have fun. I'm leaving."
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's go together." Li Lin extended his hand to grab Roland. "We won't tell the queen."
Roland ran even faster.
After teleporting back to Delpon, Roland went to the Guild of Mercenaries, the Guild of Assassins, and the Bards.
He threw a lot of gold coins at them and asked them to investigate the wolf-masked man and the undead for him.
They would tell him if there were any clues.
So it's a competition of power … My power and connections aren't bad.
Then Roland went to the capital of Delpon.
He found Antis at the city gate.
This bro felt even prettier now, or rather more feminine.
Wearing high-end white leather armor, he crossed his arms and looked at Roland. "It's rare for a busy man like you to come to the capital."
"Long time no see."
"Yes, it's been more than a year." Antis sighed.
Roland asked curiously, "Why are you still guarding the city gate? Didn't His Majesty promote you?"
"My title is already at the top. Is he going to make me a king?" Antis clicked his tongue. "Besides, guarding the city gate is good. I can see a lot of interesting things."
"I'm here because I want to ask for your help," said Roland.
"I knew you wouldn't come to see me if you didn't have something important." Antis's expression was somewhat resentful.
Together with his slightly pouting pink lips and slender figure, he gave the feeling of a resentful girl seeing a man who had betrayed her heart.
Roland felt a little creeped out, but he still said with a smile, "Help me. I won't let you do it for free anyway."
"What do you want me to help you with?"
"Help me investigate a force."
While Antis was slightly surprised, Roland told him what happened.
In the end, he added, "In any case, an organization that sells human organs, the royal family doesn't want to see it grow, right?"
Antis was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, we've also received reports of this. Many lords said that a lot of corpses with their stomachs hollowed out suddenly appeared in their territory, presumably because of this. But then they almost simultaneously sent letters saying that they were mistaken, that the people whose stomachs were missing were all beggars and were eaten by beasts in the wild. After that, there was no further investigation of this matter. "
"Why don't you investigate it?"
"They don't want us to investigate it." Antis shrugged helplessly. "As long as they don't betray the country, they have autonomy in their own territory."
Roland clicked his tongue. "It seems that this force is very powerful to have forced so many lords to back off."
"We weren't too worried before." Antis thought for a moment and said, "But now, according to what you said, we have to take it seriously. Don't worry, we'll investigate it. You can investigate it yourself, too. We'll exchange intelligence later. "
"No problem."
Then, the two of them chatted for a while, and Roland left.
Antis, on the other hand, looked rather lonely as he watched Roland's back.
After returning to Delpon, Roland had been wondering which force could be of help.
In fact, it would be better to post a reward on the forum.
But considering that there seemed to be players in that organization, if he posted on the forum, it would probably alert the enemy.
In the end, after thinking for a while, he thought of an organization.
"The Phoenix Guild."
He flew to a place near Wetland City and found the Phoenix Guild's base in the woods. He also found Solisa.
Male players might hang out with the dead, but the girls who were crazy about Charm and beauty were barely willing to hang out with the dead and corpses.
"The famous Mage Roland has asked for our help." Solisa's eyes widened when she heard Roland's intention. Then, she burst into laughter. "How rare. No, I have to take a video as a souvenir."
"This is a secret quest. It can't be leaked," said Roland casually.
"Fine." Solisa helplessly turned off the recording system. "Why did you ask for us? You know that we girls aren't very good at PVP."
"I don't need you to fight. Just help me find them in the woods of Hollevin," Roland explained. Roland explained, "Most of their members fight by controlling the bodies of the dead. Their abilities are quite evil. You have unicorns here, which are naturally averse to undead creatures and evil businesses. They can sniff out the undead creatures from several kilometers away. So, I think you're very suitable for a carpet search."
Solisa was quite satisfied with Roland's explanation. "Not bad. The Elven Summoners are such a righteous and beautiful profession … So, how much are you willing to pay?"
Her eyes glittered with gold.
"Three hundred gold coins for the activity." Roland paused for a moment and continued, "If you can find their nest, I'll pay you five hundred gold coins in a year."
That was a lot of money!
Solisa stood up abruptly and patted her chest hard. "Let's do it!"
