Brand closed his eyes, held the crystal ball, and spun his body in place.
But he only spun half a circle, then stopped, opened his eyes, and said faintly, "Evaded again." Then he began to cast the spell again.
The others in the room were not surprised.
Brand kept repeating the spell, "Biolocation," and soon used up his spell slots. Next, he took out the scroll to cast again. It was not until the eighth casting that he finally determined the position of the target.
He closed his eyes, held the crystal ball, and faced the northeast somewhere in the Veron Mountains. He stopped and said in a dreamy voice, "He's in this direction, about 35 kilometers away from us."
Elton turned and looked down at a map on the desk behind him.
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the town of Amborite in the center of the map. Then he pointed his finger in the direction Brand was facing and finally stopped in the middle of a canyon in the Veron Mountains.
He looked carefully at the valley and said, "According to Mage Brand's positioning, the target is in the middle of the Veron Mountains Gnoll Valley, a place called the Gnoll Grassland."
Hearing Elton's words, the people in the room were a little surprised and couldn't help but look at each other.
Elton frowned and thought for a while. His finger gently pointed at the map and said, "Since the spell positioning is here, let's go and take a look first. Ruthven, you and Morey go there and take a look. Remember to bring the short message scroll. If you find anything, report it immediately."
With his arms crossed, a thin middle-aged rogue leaning against the corner of the wall nodded. He tilted his head to another rogue leaning against the opposite corner and gestured for him to follow him. Then, he turned and left the room.
After the two Rogues left, the middle-aged leader said, "Everyone go and rest first. Wait for Ruthven's news and then make the next plan."
Everyone heard this and left the room.
Feng Chou, who was lurking in the bushes, waited until he was successfully located and quickly changed positions with the magic pet.
A Green Owl rose from the bushes and quickly disappeared into the valley in the north of the plains.
The Green Owl followed the Gnoll Valley, crossed the Veron Mountains, and came to the northern plains.
He followed a simple path and quickly found the Ogre Encampment on the southern shore of Fishmen Lake.
Compared to the camp by Avon Lake, this camp was very simple and crude.
The Green Owl landed on a tree not far from the campsite. Qiankun Pagoda used the Green Owl's visual image to create a few magic photos.
A moment later, the Green Owl soared into the sky and returned to the Jackalan Plains.
…
The sky gradually darkened, but the Green Owl had keen night vision.
In the eyes of the Green Owl, the dim world was still extremely clear.
The two Rogues canceled their Stealth on a deserted field road outside the town, revealed themselves, and ran toward the Gnoll Valley …
Although there was a magic civilization in this world, magic civilization could not benefit ordinary people like technology civilization. Therefore, ordinary people in this world were like the ancient world of Earth, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Not long after the two Rogues of the Brady Chamber of Commerce left the town, the sky was completely dark. Not long after dark, the town was completely quiet.
Two hours later, except for a few taverns, the whole town was completely quiet. Baron Amborite's granary in the northeast corner of the town suddenly opened its door. A group of more than ten carriages, escorted by a group of soldiers, followed the defensive passage under the city wall and went straight to the north gate of the town. There was a magic lamp hanging on the top of each carriage, illuminating the nearby road.
The sentinel on duty at the north gate of the town had obviously been ordered to open the gate when he saw the convoy from afar.
The convoy passed through the gate almost without slowing down. When the last carriage left, the sentinel on duty deftly closed the gate.
Just as the convoy left the town, the two Rogues of the El Chamber of Commerce had arrived at the Jackalan Plains.
One of the two Rogues was called Ruthven, and the other was called Morey. Ruthven was a level 9 Rogue and a level 4 Warrior, while Morey was a level 8 Rogue and a level 4 Warrior.
Ruthven was the captain of the Rogue Squad in the elite guards of the El Chamber of Commerce, while Morey was the vice-captain.
Because the El Chamber of Commerce and the Underground Gray Dwarves had close trade relations, caravans often entered the Underdark. Therefore, the elite guards of the El Chamber of Commerce had a permanent Darkvision spell for themselves.
In the dark vision of the two Rogues, the castle in the middle of the grassland was very conspicuous. They talked for a while and sneaked towards the castle.
As soon as the two Rogues approached the castle, they found a group of humans waiting for something in the castle.
This group of humans was led by a few people wearing dark red robes and holding scepters. On the chest and back of these people's robes, there was the symbol of a black fist holding a white light.
The two Rogues didn't recognize this symbol, but with their experience, these people should be priests of some god.
Behind these priests, there were warriors and Rogues wearing medium armor and inlaid leather armor. These warriors and Rogues also had the same black fist symbol on their cloaks or robes.
They obviously belonged to the same church.
This discovery made the two Rogues extremely cautious.
In this world where there were gods, the churches of the gods were even more terrifying than a country.
Especially some of the evil gods' churches, which were the most terrible criminal organizations in the world.
These suspected church members in front of them obviously didn't look like good people.
After a little observation, the two Rogues immediately retreated. After confirming that it was safe, they stopped and used a short message scroll to report the situation here to Elton.
Elton listened to the report of the two Rogues and was thinking about something when someone knocked on his door.
After getting Elton's permission, the door was pushed open, and a level 7 Rogue came in. He reported to Elton, "Your Excellency, the sound in the north of the town was made by a group of carriages. There were a total of 13 carriages, all of them heavily loaded. They drove from the northeast corner of the town to the north gate of the town and left the town from the north gate."
Amborite was only a town of 3,000 people. The area was very small. In the dead of night, the sound of a group of carriages almost spread throughout the town. After Elton heard it, he immediately sent his Rogue to investigate. This level 7 Rogue came to report the results of his investigation.
After waving his hand to send the Rogue away, Elton walked to the desk and looked at the map. He used his finger to gently draw from the north gate of the town to the northeast corner of the town.
The north of the town was where the families of the residents and miners lived. There were no large-scale buildings. The only large building in this area was Baron Amborite's granary.
Finally, Elton's finger stopped at the location of the granary on the map.
He frowned and stared at the map for a moment before turning around and pacing back and forth in the room.
If someone was beside him, they would be able to hear him muttering to himself. "Black fist symbol, what church's symbol is this? Why do I feel that it's a bit familiar?
… "
"Black fist … Black fist …"
Elton suddenly stopped with a surprised expression on his face, but the next moment, his eyes suddenly emitted a light of excitement. "Could it be …!"
