After the girl's exclamation, there was a series of mumbling sounds!
"Gnolls!"
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat.
He activated Stealth and crept into the backyard.
In the courtyard next to the farmhouse, a girl dressed in gorgeous clothes fell to the ground.
Six Gnolls were surrounding her, angrily scolding her.
At this time, the rain gradually reduced to a drizzle.
The girl showed a horrified look, and it seemed that her life was in danger.
"It's her!?"
However, Ma Wen did not attack immediately.
Because he knew this woman.
Before the Gnolls invaded, this woman came to his territory, dressed luxuriously, and said that she wanted to establish a long-term trade relationship with the White River Valley.
She said that she came from Gem Bay and was the daughter of the president of the White Flag Chamber of Commerce, with two strong bodyguards.
At that time, Ma Wen almost believed it. The White River Valley was not suitable for farming, and every year, there would be a shortage of food in the territory, so they needed to go out to buy.
However, the food market in River Beach City had always been very expensive. Ever since Ma Wen took over the territory, he had been troubled by this problem.
At this time, this girl took the opportunity to propose to solve this problem for Ma Wen.
She said that she could ship a batch of food from Gem Bay. The premise was that Ma Wen had to pay a deposit first.
Although the deposit was not much, it was still a huge expense for the White River Valley, which had always been very tight.
To be cautious, the previous owner of this body secretly sent Anna to Gem Bay to verify the girl's identity.
He pretended to be hesitant while waiting for Anna's news.
Five days later, when the tired half-elf girl rushed back, she brought back no news of the White Flag Chamber of Commerce at Gem Bay.
There was no doubt that this girl was a liar.
She and her two so-called bodyguards were arrested on the spot. They were thrown into the castle's dungeon.
Although Ma Wen did not abuse her, it would be difficult to establish his prestige in the territory if he did not lock her up for trying to deceive the lord.
So she was locked up in the dungeon.
Until the Gnolls invaded.
…
"How did she escape? Where are her two bodyguards? "
Ma Wen watched the conversation between the girl and the gnoll with interest.
This female liar named Lola was quite capable. She could even speak the Jackal language.
The Gnoll language was relatively simple, but because of the Gnoll's special vocal cords, it was very difficult for other races to imitate it.
However, the fact that this girl could speak the Gnoll language so fluently showed that she was a talent.
Although this kind of person was a liar, if used well, it would be very important.
At this moment, a Gnoll suddenly grabbed the girl's clothes and held a dagger to her neck.
He spoke at a much faster pace.
The Gnolls at the side jeered, some of them even drooling.
"I don't know how she tricked these gnolls into letting her out."
"But she doesn't seem to be in a good situation now."
"It's time for the hero to save the damsel in distress."
…
Laura was terrified.
Her mind, which was usually very agile, was now completely blank!
That damned nobleman had left her in the dungeon and escaped alone.
When she was first discovered, she was almost eaten by the group of Gnolls. If not for her proficiency in the Gnoll language, she would have died long ago.
But now, she had finally tricked this group of Gnolls into letting her out.
Unfortunately, when she tried to escape just now, she failed.
Now, this group of angry Gnolls would not listen to her comforting words.
They were going to eat her!
Thinking of this, Laura's limbs went soft. She almost cried out loud.
"Laura! Be strong, be strong! "
"I must not cry, there must be a way. After so many years, no matter how difficult the environment, I have survived!"
The girl bit her lip, trying to calm herself down.
But when she saw the dagger on her neck, she immediately panicked again.
Tears welled up in her eyes. The stench of the Gnolls was close at hand. She opened her mouth and said in a calm tone:
"Listen to me, I really know a treasure …"
Puff!
A spray of blood splashed out, many of which flew into Laura's mouth!
She opened her mouth wide, staring blankly at the head of the Gnoll leader in front of her being cut off!
A figure wearing a mask slowly appeared from the void.
"Ow ow ow!"
The rest of the Gnolls looked at the sudden appearance of this human in surprise, and immediately swarmed over.
Gnolls, like Kobolds, Goblins, and other low-level intelligent creatures, when judging the strength of the enemy, they still simply stopped at the level of numbers.
They had five, while the humans only had one and a half. Naturally, the girl could only be counted as half.
No matter how one looked at it, their side won.
Unfortunately …
Ma Wen was not an ordinary human!
Level 5 Ranger, 20 super long agility!
It was a bit dangerous for him to challenge a grade 2 profession, but against a group of Gnoll warriors with an average level of 2, it was more than enough!
Whoosh whoosh!
Cold light flashed, and two curved blades flew in Ma Wen's hands. His movements were natural and elegant, his footsteps nimbly shuttling through the Gnolls.
Every slash might not be fatal, but it could definitely cripple them!
The way a melee Ranger fought was to aim at the opponent's vital points and hit them to death!
These Gnolls didn't have armor, and their rough fur couldn't stop Ma Wen's curved blades.
In less than half a minute, a total of five Gnolls lay quietly on the ground.
Ma Wen quietly took out a black rag, wiped the blood on the two blades, and put it away.
On the other hand, Lola, who was at the side, suddenly reacted at this moment.
She bent over to the side and began to vomit!
…
Three minutes later, in the farmhouse.
"The blood of the Gnolls is very fishy."
Ma Wen said quietly, "However, after vomiting a few more times, you will get used to it."
Wah!
Lola, who had just finished vomiting, couldn't help but retch again when she heard this.
Her face was extremely green. She didn't eat much in the dungeon, and all she vomited was bile.
She only felt dizzy now. However, her basic eyesight was still there.
This was an expert. It could be seen from the way he killed the Gnolls.
The other party was also wearing a mask. Experts were all somewhat eccentric. However, could it be because he was ugly?
Lola's mind was active, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. In the end, she said pitifully,
"Thank you for saving me."
"I am the daughter of the chairman of the White Flag Chamber of Commerce in Gem Bay. I represent the White Flag Chamber of Commerce to discuss business in the White River Valley."
"Who knew that I would encounter so many Gnolls. Thank you very much for your help. "
"If you can give me some food and send me back to Gem Bay, I will repay you well."
After saying that, she looked at Ma Wen with a particularly pure gaze.
In all fairness, Lola's looks were quite good. Her pair of big, watery eyes were especially deceiving.
Unfortunately, Ma Wen just casually threw a piece of hard bread to her.
"This is food." Because he had to lower his voice, Ma Wen didn't want to say too much, lest this lively girl discover his identity.
"I saved you because you seem to understand the Gnoll language."
"I have a use for you."
"After eating, have a good sleep. Come with me tomorrow morning."
Lola's eyes widened.
Unfortunately, Ma Wen completely ignored her. Instead, he took out his scimitar and gently wiped it.
Her heart was about to collapse!
She had just escaped the suffering of the Gnolls, and now she had fallen into the hands of a homicidal maniac?
Looking at the way he wiped the scimitar, what was he trying to do?
Could it be that he wanted to fight the Gnolls in that castle alone?
I admit that your martial arts are very high, but you are outnumbered!
Lola knew what was good for her as she ate her bread while complaining crazily.
After eating the bread, it was night time. She wanted to find a chance to escape, but unfortunately, this masked expert did not give her any chance at all.
"If you want to escape, let me give you a piece of advice. Run as fast as you can."
"If you are caught by me, your fate will be much more terrible than the Gnolls."
After saying that, Ma Wen leaned against the door and began to take a nap.
...
Lola's heart was cold. After seeing Ma Wen's skills, how could she dare to act rashly?
That night, she could not sleep well.
The girl was afraid that this silent homicidal maniac would suddenly become ferocious and kill her like a Gnoll, or that she would be defiled by him.
Wait, which of these two situations is better?
Lola was very conflicted, making a comparison in her heart.
Until dawn, she still could not come up with a conclusion.
At this time, Ma Wen suddenly opened his eyes and calmly said:
"Are you awake? It's time to work. "
