Chapter 23 Coaxing and scaring

From Cynthia and others, we learned about the approximate strength of the human world. Generally speaking, with second-level strength plus some military merit, you can be named a knight. Although it only has a salary and no fiefdom, after all, it is still a nominal military noble and can enjoy

some privileges.

For small military nobles with fiefdoms, their family heads are usually of the third level, and the elites among adventurers are also at this level.

It is usually difficult to see those above level four. In the current human world, there are not many people at this level.

It is indeed possible to be a fourth-level person under the age of twenty, but I am afraid that there are not two or three in the whole Oran. To say that the person in front of him is one of them, Tang Zhao feels doubtful.

The werewolves and the remaining wild wolves were nowhere to be found, and the group all suspected that it was the orcs who had probably destroyed their bodies.

Some medicine bottles were found from the orcs, and after Guinivea's identification, they found that there were a full range of medicines, ranging from wound medicine to highly corrosive liquids, and a lot of those corrosive liquids had been used.

Werewolves are indeed powerful against hunters and traveling traders, but they are no match for a dozen well-trained elite orc soldiers.

"What are we going to do now? Chase those orcs?" Cynthia asked. She was a little worried about her own people now, and she might encounter those orcs on the same road.

Guinevere denied: "This is not what we should do. We don't know how many enemies there are. The vulture knights and infantry regiments will naturally come later. We are going back to the town now to help the people in the town organize defenses, and by the way, we will

You take care of the carriage."

As a half-elf, her senses are super sharp than ordinary people, but she didn't notice the presence of the orcs around her just now. Tang Zhao's sense of smell also failed and he couldn't smell the smell. Either there was a stronger spell caster behind him to assist, or these orcs had received

Strict and specialized training enables him to hide himself well in the forest.

It's not good news either way, and Guinevere can't afford to risk it.

She helped Tang Zhao remove the arrowhead embedded in his body, then treated the wound with a simple healing technique, and the group set off immediately.

Tina didn't say much during the whole process, but Tang Zhao still acquiesced that she had learned about the conversation between herself and Cynthia.

——

As the name suggests, Cangguan Town is a small town located on the edge of Cangguan Forest. It was formed by the gathering of hunters and lumberjacks. They are all rough people. It is conceivable that they will not give the town a poetic name.

The town is not big, with hundreds or even thousands of people, and the situation in the town is a bit chaotic now.

Before leaving, the three Francois informed the Sheriff who entrusted them with the situation, and then hurriedly reported the matter to the royal capital and left in a hurry, leaving the Sheriff uneasy.

They couldn't even deal with the werewolves, let alone an entire team of elite orc soldiers.

After sounding the alarm in the town, the sheriff was afraid of complicating the matter and did not dare to say what happened. He only asked everyone to gather in the square. Even so, the residents of the town were inevitably a little suspicious.

However, everything is fine so far and is still within control. After all, no orc soldiers have yet to rush out of the dense forest.

The Sheriff also knew Tina and Guinevere, and knew that their identities were unusual. In addition, Guinevere was a very mysterious half-elf in the human world, so he reluctantly agreed to let Tang Zhao follow them into the town.

As for Cynthia, she directly chose to make herself invisible and sit on Tang Zhao's back, so that ordinary humans could not detect her.

The Sheriff followed the two of them every step of the way. Tang Zhao also acted cooperatively. There was no explosion of scales or neighing. It was quiet. Most of the residents in the town lived in the woods and understood the body language of some beasts, so the reaction was not special.

Big, it's just a lot of discussion.

This was Tang Zhao's first contact with a settlement in the human world, so he was curious about everything around him.

It was similar to the medieval town in his impression. It was mainly low-rise buildings made of wood and stone. It was a little dirty but acceptable. Most of the residents wore clothes made of linen and seemed to have average economic conditions.

The Sheriff led a group of people to the square in the center of the town. This is usually a market for trading leather and wood, but at this time, most of the people in the town gathered here. They all stared at the Sheriff, hoping to hear something from him.

Reasonable explanation.

Tina spoke up at the right time: "Leave it to me to handle this, otherwise it may be more difficult for you."

The Sheriff was obviously relieved: "Thank you very much."

After saying this, he stepped aside and asked Tina to step onto the high platform in front of him.

This place is not an important military fortress or commercial hub, and very few things happen on a daily basis, which makes him, who is used to living an ordinary life, at a loss.

Tina climbed onto the temporary high platform, blue light rose from her hands, and a silent sense of oppression appeared in everyone's heart.

The pressure is not particularly great, but it can make everyone calm down and look at Tina herself with bated breath.

Cynthia's low-pitched voice reached Tang Zhao's ears: "No, the range of effects of mind control and concentration can't be that wide. It's completely unclear what kind of spell she used. Could it be a self-created spell passed down by the family?

?”

In this regard, Tang Zhao, who had been surviving in the forest for a while, had some thoughts.

[This feeling is a bit like the pressure of facing a high-ranking predator. Upon closer inspection, those people are not so much comforted as they are frightened]

Tina's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. In addition, the square was almost completely quiet now, so everyone present could hear her voice clearly.

"Everyone, listen to me. Don't panic. We're just calling everyone to prevent people from entering the forest. Just in case."

In as understated a tone as possible, he began to explain the current situation to everyone.

——

His words were quite decent and he just explained everything clearly, but perhaps because the effect of the blue light was so good, no panic broke out in the crowd and they accepted the facts calmly.

"Everyone, please rest assured that I will stay by your side until the vulture knights arrive. Even if they do break out of the forest and attack, I am confident that I can suppress them and your safety will not be threatened."

Through coaxing and threatening, Tina managed to appease the townspeople and let them stay in the center of the square to wait for news.
