Wizard of science

That night.

In the Third Street sewer, a group of people wearing robes appeared here holding torches and walked towards the deepest part.

They carried a lot of things with them, with large and small bags hanging on their backs. On the back of one of the robed men was a girl who was tied tightly with a rope and her mouth was gagged with a rag.

The girl is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair skin and a pretty face. A pair of big eyes were crying like peaches at this time, and the expression on his face was full of fear. He struggled hard on the back of the man in the robe, trying to get away, but he couldn't do it at all. Following the impatient scolding from the man in the robe, the girl named Hina trembled and no longer dared to move randomly.

Finally, a group of more than a dozen people in robes stopped on the high platform at the corner of the sewer. They threw the cloth bags they were carrying on the high platform, and also threw the girl Hina who was carrying them on the high platform.

The group of people took off their robes one after another, revealing their hidden faces and cold weapons at their waists.

From the looks of it, the group of people all looked different. They either had scars on their faces, or they had beards, or they had evil eyes. They all looked vicious.

"Mas, when will the person who will take us out of the city arrive?" the bearded man asked gruffly.

A man with a scarred face responded quickly: "We have to wait until dawn."

"So slow?!" The bearded man was a little unhappy after hearing this, "Why do we have to wait until dawn! Don't you know how much risk we take?

Not to mention anything else, just the jewelry snatched this time will definitely alarm the officials. The city guards wearing leather armor and iron armor will start searching soon. Although this sewer is hidden, it may not be as good as the previous ones. Just hide away. After all, the business we are doing this time is relatively large, and the intensity of the search by those city guards will definitely be different.

What's more, we also captured the daughter of some great scholar. The other party may also have some power, and the power to search for us will be greater. I don't want to be arrested and hanged! "

"No way, boss, it's not that serious..." The scar-faced man shrank his neck and said.

This made the bearded man even more dissatisfied. He kicked out the scar-faced man and knocked him to the ground. He cursed rudely: "What do you mean it's not so serious? You have to be hanged, even if it's very serious." One possibility is serious enough! Let me tell you, don’t take it seriously. If I am caught and hanged, you, the rest of the group, and the entire regiment will suffer the same fate! None of them will be able to run away!"

"Then...then...I'll find a way to contact the other party and ask them to respond in advance?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go quickly!"

"Yes, yes." The scar-faced man responded and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped again.

"Wait!"

"Why boss?"

"There's a situation!" The bearded man grabbed the long knife at his waist and said in a deep voice, and looked at the direction where his group came from with awareness. His men followed suit and grabbed their weapons one after another, looking at the way they were coming vigilantly, ready to go into battle at any time.

Footsteps sounded.

Two people, one wearing a robe similar to theirs and the other wearing a noble tuxedo, walked out of the darkness of the sewer one after another and appeared in sight.

"Who are you?" the bearded man shouted, "Are you the people sent by Mike to pick us up? Or are you the others?"

Faced with the question from the bearded man, Li He did not answer, but simply glanced twice and made a judgment. He tilted his head slightly and sighed at the devil Alex: "It seems that this place can be crossed out. There are no wizards, and there should be just a group of thieves."

"Then Master, what should we do?"

"Let's go. Staying here is a waste of time. Let's go to the next location quickly."

"What about these people? What should we do with them?" Alex asked, pointing.

"Do you think they will just watch us and let us leave?" Li He asked.

"The probability is a bit small..."

"Then you should know what to do."

"yes."

Li He turned around and walked towards the way he came.

Devil Alex stopped and looked at the group of thieves with squinted eyes.

The boss of the thieves group, a bearded man, realized at this time that Li He and Alex were definitely not the ones coming to meet them, and he quickly made a plan in his mind: Since Li He and Alex were not friends, then We couldn't risk letting the two of them leave. It would be dangerous if the news leaked out.

The bearded man was very decisive. After thinking clearly, he quickly pulled out the long knife from his waist, waved it vigorously in the air, and shouted to the others: "Follow me, kill these two guys, and don't let the news leak out!"

"Yes!" A group of people rushed up quickly following the bearded man.

Alex looked at it, narrowed his eyes, and greeted him with a sneer.

After a while.

More than a dozen members of the thieves group all fell to the ground, their weapons pierced their bodies, a large amount of blood flowed out, and the entire sewer was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Alex shook his head slightly, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw something again.

"Um, Master." Alex asked Li He, who had not gone far, "These guys seem to have a lot of things, and there seems to be another... um, person, how to deal with it better?"

"The things... are probably snatched or stolen, and the people may be kidnapped and held captive for ransom. They probably don't have much value. You can handle it yourself. You don't need to ask me about such a trivial matter."

"yes."

…

In the cold, damp sewer, Hina watched in a daze as the two figures disappeared into the darkness. She looked at the large and small bags scattered around and the many corpses further away, feeling a little dazed.

She really didn't expect that she would be kidnapped, nor did she expect that after being kidnapped, two people suddenly appeared and killed the bad guy who kidnapped her.

What surprised him the most was that the guy who killed the bad guy walked up to her, pulled out the cloth bag from her mouth, and asked a question quietly: "The dead man on the ground said before, are you the daughter of a great scholar? You should be able to count." Some questions. Then let me ask you, if there are seven shells arranged in two rows horizontally and vertically, how can each row count as four shells? "

"Stack one of the shells?" Hina answered carefully.

The other party showed an expression of realization, quickly untied the rope that bound her, and then followed the mysterious man away.

Hina couldn't help but feel that all this was like a dream, an extremely weird dream.

She really wanted to close her eyes and fall asleep. Maybe when she opened her eyes, she would be back on the soft velvet bed at home.

But she pinched her thigh hard and forced herself to wake up, instead of letting herself continue to be in a trance. Because she still remembered that her kidnapper said that the escort would be there at dawn.

This is obviously not a safe place.

She struggled to stand up and ran towards the sewer with some staggering steps, trying to find an exit and leave quickly.

Not long after, her figure also disappeared into the darkness.

…

Please help me weakly...
