The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and a thin figure wearing a cloak was walking in the dense forest. The black cloak on her body was constantly flickering with eerie light. A black raven hovered above her head, and it kept making noisy and harsh screams. "Yes, this is the direction."
Li Wen remained silent, they had been marching like this for some time. Martha said she didn't want to scare anyone, so she turned into a crow.
But no matter what Li Wen thinks, the talking crow and the old witch are not much different in terms of scariness, not to mention how could Ghost Fairy care about human feelings.
Out of an idea unknown to Li Wen, Ghost Fairy Marsha claimed to help her find the group of Mercenaries.
All fairies are born to control fairy magic, not to mention that Ghost Fairy is almost the most powerful type of fairy. With the help of Granny Marsha, Li Wen will indeed be much easier.
"You don't look like a warm-hearted guy."
Ghost Fairy said this to Li Wen, and she immediately asked:
"Neither do you."
The crow let out a creepy laugh, acquiescing to this statement.
"It's right in front, that group of people."
Needless to say, Li Wen could already see the fire from a distance.
This group of mercenaries built a camp in the forest that could be used for a long time and also used to hide from the eyes and ears of the town guards or the lord's private army.
Li Wen doesn't have much magic power left, and she hasn't meditated since her battle with the devil. So after getting Ghost Fairy's consent, she took out a bottle of light green and transparent clear potion from Goblin's Treasure Bag. This is Clarity Potion, which can make people's minds clearer and is often used to restore magic power urgently when magic power is in short supply. Drinking it multiple times will cause headaches and thirst, and in severe cases can cause people to fall into coma.
Clarity Potion is not rare, and its effect is barely adequate. But the magic potions in this treasure bag are basically refined by Ghost Fairy Marsha, and the quality is well-deserved top-notch.
Li Wen drank the magic potion, then immediately sat down and started meditating.
An hour later, more than half of the magic power was restored, and Li Wen opened his eyes.
She looked at the brightly lit mercenary camp, her figure gradually blending into the night.
*
A bearded man stood on guard on a simple watchtower built with a few logs. Their mercenary group did a big job today, and it's hard to say how much they earned. Anyway, the leader ordered the guys to drink and eat meat today. The bearded man was more unlucky, and he was rushed to stand guard after he was halfway through drinking.
The night wind blew, and he shivered, thinking about whether to bring some wine to warm himself up. Anyway, everyone had almost drunk at this time, and they would have passed out long ago.
Before he could make a decision, the bearded man felt a chill in his throat and suddenly lost consciousness.
Seeing the sentry's body falling from the sentry tower, Li Wen put away his bow.
This bow and arrows were bought at Black Sand Town, just to cope with the situation without magic power. She learned to hunt after traveling through time in her previous life, and she was pretty good with a bow and arrow. It was a little difficult to shoot moving objects in the dark, but she was pretty good at dealing with fixed targets.
There are estimated to be dozens or hundreds of mercenaries in the entire camp. If you use spells to kill them one by one, unless it is a large-scale spell like Poem of Paradise, the magic power will not be enough Li Wen. She originally planned to use the power of Retrograde in Shadow to sneak in and assassinate them one by one, but now it seems that there is no need for that.
Even the sound of the dead sentinel falling did not cause anyone to react. It seemed that the quality of this mercenary group was quite poor.
Li Wen just walked into their camp.
The camp was in a mess, with drunken men, armor, wine barrels and meat mixed together, exuding an indescribable smell. In short, it smelled very bad.
"You... who are you?"
Someone who was not completely drunk noticed Li Wen and asked inarticulately.
"I am your death."
Li Wen slashed indifferently Bone Knife understood his life.
She walked all the way deep into the camp, killing every mercenary she passed. Like the God of Death in black, the pale Bone Knife was dyed red, and scarlet blood flowed throughout the camp.
This kind of movement soon woke up the mercenaries. They looked at the executioner-like Li Wen in horror. They couldn't tell whether it was reality or a nightmare, and they could only shout for help and fled.
Li Wen would not allow them to escape and directly launched Poem of Paradise.
The witch's song reached the ears of every mercenary within range. As soon as the affected mercenaries took a step, their whole bodies seemed to be cut into pieces and turned into a pile of minced meat.
This is when Fool's Praise acts on ordinary people, they can't even take a step.
Those who were not within their capabilities were immediately frightened when they saw this scene. They collapsed to the ground, or knelt down to pray to the gods, or cried to Li Wen for mercy.
At this time, about fifty people had woken up, and the remaining people died in their sleep or due to Fool's Praise. And not all of the more than fifty people saw Li Wen's spellcasting. They just followed the same actions as those who woke up earlier. In fact, they had no idea what happened.
"Who is your leader?"
Li Wen asked coldly.
However, what answered her was a crossbow arrow. It was shot from an extremely sinister angle and passed through the gaps between several people before hitting Li Wen.
But Li Wen only took a step back slightly because of the kinetic energy of the crossbow arrow. The crossbow arrow fell to the ground, not even penetrating Li Wen's Emerald Star Cloak.
Li Wen casually throws a Dark Word Curse, killing the person who used Hand Crossbow to sneak attack.
Seeing this scene, someone shouted, "Devil!"
Devil?
Being called such a person, Li Wen couldn't help but feel a little ironic. Obviously, this group of scumbags who wantonly slaughtered innocent people in front of them is more suitable for this title.
"I repeat, who is your leader?"
No one answered.
Li Wen frowned, this group of bastards was quite tough, and there was not even one person who stabbed the leader in the back.
So she didn't bother to say anything, raised her hand and prepared to release Poem of Paradise.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
A bald man came out cautiously.
"Are you the leader of these people?"
"No, it's not..." The bald man's face was full of panic, "The leader... is already dead..."
Li Wen looked at where he was pointing. It was the person who used Hand Crossbow to sneak attack her before. No wonder he dared to do this.
It doesn't matter, anyway, you don't have to ask the leader to ask someone about it.
"Let me ask you an answer... did you massacre an entire village today?"
The bald man's face suddenly turned pale, and he hesitated and said, "No, no, it's all under the command of the group leader..."
Li Wen doesn't listen to such nonsense.
"You took all the corpses away, why?"
"I don't know, it's a deal between the group leader and someone else..."
"Deal? With whom."
The bald man hesitated, not daring to speak.
Li Wen remained silent, but the magic power poured into "The Final Codex" in his hand. In an instant, the brilliance of the magic power almost solidified.
The bald man didn't know what would happen. He could only hold his head and crawl on his knees, crying and shouting, "It's Wilson! It's Sir Wilson!"
