This was the campsite of Inferno. To be more precise, it was the square outside the campsite.
The real campsite was located inside a collapsed tunnel.
In the plaza, the members of the Inferno Adventurer Group were transporting supplies. These daily necessities were placed in several large boxes bound with chains. Beside the boxes stood six strangely dressed masked men.
These six masked men were all wearing the same red robes. The masks on their faces only had holes for their eyes. The rest of the masks were completely sealed. The expressions on the masks were all different, but they were all drawn in an exaggerated, absurd, and even twisted way. On the top of each mask, there were characters that represented "traveling merchants" in the common language of the continent.
"Six traveling merchants?" Dorcas stood on top of a tree and looked at the square in front of him.
Ma Qiusha shook her head. "Those who wear masks are the lowest members of the group. They're mainly responsible for moving supplies. They don't have any authority. Only traveling merchants who don't wear masks can be considered as the core of the group. "
"Are there any traveling merchants among the people here who don't wear masks?"
Ma Qiusha remained silent for two seconds. "No. Traveling merchants all wear the same clothes. The only difference is the embroidery."
"I see." Dorcas narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and looked like he was watching a show. "I found the clothes you were talking about, but they've already been taken off and mixed together with a red dress."
Dorcas looked at Ma Qiusha. "Guess what I saw?"
Ma Qiusha sighed. "I know. I once snuck into the Inferno Adventurer Group by pretending to be a lost hunter. Miss Red does indeed maintain … intimate relationships with some of the male merchants. But she didn't want to. She just wanted to protect her members. Trust me, she's — "
"She's a good person? Okay, I know what you're going to say. " Dorcas continued, "Every time you snuck into an adventurer group, you would say that their leader is a good person. So is Miss Red. Since you're so sympathetic, why would your husband allow you to sneak into a group like this? He's quite generous."
Neither Angor nor Dark Earl said anything. They already used their spirit feelers to see what was going on in the camp before Dorcas arrived.
However, one of them was young and reserved, while the other believed himself to be mature and prudent. Neither of them had the right to speak, so they let Dorcas speak first.
The conversation between Dorcas and Ma Qiusha also entered the ears of the two acolytes.
Although they weren't people who hadn't seen the world, hearing such a scene in front of them still made their hearts itch.
Wail and Kael also used their spirit feelers to check the area.
Her probing alarmed the man who was having sex inside.
Wa Yi's mental power was still fine. With decades of cultivation and the protection of the Black Earl, as long as he didn't act rashly, he wouldn't be discovered. But Karel was different. He rashly looked at the bed.
Although his spiritual power had not yet passed through the bed curtains, the man inside suddenly moved. He pushed the blushing Miss Red away and stood out with a cup wrapped around his body. "Who is it? Who is spying on us? "
As he spoke, a blood-red aura spread out from the man's body. In an instant, Wail and Kael's spirit tentacles, which were hidden inside the room, were revealed.
"Two people? How dare you!" The man was about to use his blood aura to attack the spirit tentacles.
However, Wail and Kael were faster. As soon as the man revealed himself as a supernatural, they began to withdraw their spirit power.
They might not lose if they really fought the man. However, spirit power was usually very weak. Without any defensive spells, even someone one level lower than them could easily destroy them.
Apart from Karel's pale face, who was slightly affected by the blood aura, the other acolytes were fine. They managed to escape unscathed.
When their spirit power returned, Karel and Wail both looked at Dorcas with resentful gazes.
The man inside had such a strong blood aura. He was definitely a Bloodline apprentice. Of course, Dorcas was a Bloodline Master as well. He did not even warn them when they went to check on him!
Of course, Dorcas knew what happened. He was just watching the show. When he saw the two men looking at him, he quickly waved his hands. "I didn't know you were so curious. It's just some exercise. What's so interesting about it? And don't blame me for not telling you. Angor and Wail didn't say anything either, did they? "
Count Black humphed.
Angor spoke calmly, "Since you've already asked, why should I bother?"
Dorcas turned to look at Khael and Vay, shrugging. "See, I wasn't wrong. They already knew."
Karel and Wail did not know what to say. They had been wizards for a long time. Of course, they knew what was going on.
Dorcas, Angor, and Count Black all knew that they would be discovered if they went to check on the man. But they did not do so. The reason was simple. They just wanted them to disturb the traveling merchant and lure him out.
The traveling merchant did not disappoint. Under Karel and Wail's disturbance, he quickly put on his clothes and ran out of the room without caring about Miss Red.
He was still yelling angrily as if he was not going to give up so easily.
"Nice acting," Angor commented. Angor commented. As a Master of Emotions, Angor did not sense any anger from the traveling merchant at all. Instead, the traveling merchant seemed to be a little scared.
After all, he was just an apprentice who had just broken through to level 3. The two waves of spiritual force that he had released earlier were also from an apprentice. To be able to release spiritual force and have relatively solid tentacles, he was at least at the peak of a level 2 apprentice. He had no problem dealing with spirit attacks, but he was not confident enough to face the enemy head-on.
Therefore, even though he was arrogant, he was just putting on an act. If they did not take the initiative to show up, this traveling merchant would definitely not come looking for them.
As expected, Angor's assumption was correct.
The traveling merchant cursed and walked to the side of the masked man. "What bad luck, I actually met two peeping thieves today. I don't know where these people who don't know the rules came from." They ran away, but I'm sure they came from Biron Tree Garden. When I get back, I'll find them! "
The traveling merchant urged, "Are you done yet? Hurry up. It's just some daily necessities. "
Clearly, the traveling merchant did not have enough confidence and was about to leave.
Of course, Angor would not let him go so easily.
As the traveling merchant urged them, they flew down from the top of a tree in the distance.
Along with the swift wind, You Shang also heard the whistling behind him. He immediately turned around.
When he saw who it was, his pupils shrank.
He did not know the others, but "Red Sword" Dorcas was a familiar face. Even though he was a wandering Sorcerer, as a Bloodline Sorcerer, he was quite powerful. Within the same grade, even official Sorcerers from Sorcerer organisations might not be able to defeat him.
"Red … Red … Mister Red Sword." You Shang gulped and spoke with difficulty.
"You were so arrogant just now. Now that we're here, you won't give up, will you? Come on," Dorcas showed a mocking smile and waved his hand at You Shang.
You Shang's legs were already trembling, and he stammered, "I-I was just joking. If you and your friends want to see, I'll take you to the Paradise House in Biron Tree Garden. I'll pay for everything. "
When You Shang said "I'll pay for everything", his eyes showed a hint of regret. It was obvious that he was not a rich man.
It made sense. If he had a few coins in his pocket, why not go to the Paradise House? Miss Red was an ordinary person after all. She could not enjoy herself.
"Lord Wandering Shang, they are …" At this moment, Miss Hong also tidied up her clothes and walked out from inside.
She was still dressed up, and the blush on her face made her look more like a flamingo. This was from Dorcas' perspective.
"It's none of your business. Get out of my way." You Shang waved his hand impatiently, telling her not to come closer.
Angor gave him a second look. You Shang might look like he was driving Miss Red away, but he was also protecting her.
To put it bluntly, the two of them were in a consensual relationship. There was not much emotion involved. You Shang had already done his best to go this far.
Seeing this, Angor did not let Dorcas continue teasing You Shang. He stepped forward and said, "I heard you talking to yourself. You said you were going back to Biron Tree Garden to cause trouble for those two little guys. So, you're from Biron Tree Garden? The Bilos Family? "
When Angor spoke, Dorcas naturally took a step back and let Angor take the lead. You Shang noticed this detail, which made his scalp tingle even more.
This meant that the person speaking was at least an official Magus!
Two wizards showed up in front of him. Was this the end of the road for him?
You Shang was pessimistic, but he still did not want to give up. "Mister, it's not that I don't want to answer your question. It's just that we all signed oaths after joining the organization, which forbade us from revealing anything about the organization to outsiders."
You Shang's answer would surely annoy Angor, but he had to say it anyway.
Surprisingly, Angor did not feel anything. "I see. Then let me change my question. Do you know them?"
Angor waved a hand, and an illusion appeared in front of You Shang.
It was a pair of young lovers holding hands. They were the apprentices who came to visit Angor's teleportation array. They introduced themselves as members of the Bilos Family.
You Shang's eyes flickered when he saw the couple. He understood that the wizard was using a method that did not violate the oaths.
This meant the wizard did not intend to kill him immediately. Otherwise, there was no need to be so tactful.
You Shang was not a loyal person. Since Angor was using such a method, he was willing to play along.
"Yes. Not only that, but we've known each other for many years." You Shang did not wait for Angor to ask. He began to tell Angor about the couple, as well as some interesting things that happened between them.
He did not mention anything about the Traveler's Organization, but Angor and the others already had a general idea.
The Traveler's Organization must have something to do with the Bilos Family. Even if the Bilos Family was not the direct creator of the organization, they must be one of the key figures in the organization.
The reason why he thought this way was because behind the Bilos family, there was a dark shadow that represented the royal power. Things like dividing the loot were not uncommon at all.
When You Shang was almost done, he looked at Angor and Dorcas nervously, waiting for their verdict.
Whether they lived or died, it was really up to them.
"We're here to talk to the Traveler's Organization."
"What do you need, mister?" You Shang asked.
"We want to see a man who calls himself a Magician," Angor said directly.
In fact, he had another request, which was to buy information about the underground tunnel from the Traveler's Organization. They must know something about it. However, this might attract the attention of the Traveler's Organization. They were not afraid of being discovered since they had Black Earl and Angor's "Summon" spell. However, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble if possible.
After all, this was the territory of the Goman Kingdom. If they attracted the attention of the Goman King, things would get even more complicated.
"A Magician? I know him. He's a new apprentice alchemist. " You Shang snorted when he mentioned the name. Not because of the person, but because of the unsuitable title.
"Where is he now?"
You Shang quickly answered, "The Magician needs to make weapons for the adventurers here, so he's staying in the organization's branch here. Oh, right. He lives in the Mana Hut, which is also his blacksmith shop."
"Do you want to go to the branch, mister? Or should I send him a message and ask him to come out?"
You Shang's desire to live was stronger than Angor thought. He did not need to mention a plan at all, but he did, and it happened to fit Angor's idea.
This made Angor look at this slippery traveler in a new light.
"Send him a message. Tell him to come see me. And … bring his Mana Hut."
You Shang wrote a message in front of Angor, which was a way to show his desire to live and to show his goodwill.
Of course, You Shang could also use a secret method to leak the information, but he did not do so. He was not stupid. Even if he did leak the information that there were two wizards in Garden of Labyrinth, what could they do?
Would the Bilos Family send wizards to hunt them down?
Impossible. Garden of Labyrinth was not a rich ruin, and it was not the private property of the Bilos Family. They would never offend other wizards because of this.
Moreover, they still didn't know who this Adept that had made Red Sword Dorcas take a step back was.
The unknown meant that they did not have full confidence.
Hence, under such circumstances, You Shang would not resort to any tricks. What he needed to do was to listen to the instructions of the two Magi and wait for the matter to end. It would be best if he took the initiative to request for his memory to be erased, and then pretend that nothing had happened.
"Mister, do we wait here or go somewhere else?" You Shang wrote down the location and asked Angor.
"Let's do it here," Angor said.
You Shang quickly wrote down the location and showed the message again in front of Angor to show that he did not do anything. Afterward, the message was stored in a blood mist. This blood mist was a communication method used by Bloodline Wizards. It was also a modified version of Mana QQ. Compared to Mana QQ, Bloodline Wizards preferred to use blood mist to communicate.
The blood mist rose into the sky and hovered for a while as if it was trying to determine the location.
After ascertaining the location, the blood-red light flashed past and flew toward the south.
