Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 30: Liar
After the girl's exclamation, there was a burst of gurgling sounds!
"Gnoll!"
Ma Wen's heart trembled.
He turned on stealth and tiptoed into the backyard.
In the yard next to the farmhouse, a gorgeously dressed girl fell to the ground.
And six gnolls were surrounding her, shouting something.
At this time, the rain gradually subsided and turned into drizzle.
The girl had a look of horror on her face and it looked like her life was in danger.
"It's actually her!?"
However, Marvin did not take action immediately.
Because he knew this woman.
Before the invasion of the gnolls, this woman came to her territory, dressed luxuriously and generously, saying that she wanted to establish long-term trade relations with the White River Valley.
She claimed to be from Gem Bay and was the daughter of the president of the White Flag Chamber of Commerce. She came with two strong bodyguards.
Marvin almost believed it at the time. The White River Valley was not suitable for farming, and every year there was a shortage of food in the territory, so they had to go out to buy it.
However, the food prices in River Beach City have always been very high. Ever since Marvin took over the territory, he has been troubled by this problem.
At this time, the girl took the opportunity to offer to solve this problem for Marvin.
She said she could ship a batch of grain , but only if Marvin paid a deposit first.
Although the deposit was not much, it was still a huge expense for the finances of the White River Valley, which had always been tight.
To be cautious, the previous owner of this body secretly asked Anna to go to Gem Bay to verify the girl's identity.
He steadied the girl and pretended to be hesitant while waiting for news from Anna.
But five days later, when the tired half-elf girl rushed back, she brought news that there was no White Flag Chamber of Commerce in Gem Bay.
There is no doubt that this girl is a liar.
She and her two so-called bodyguards were arrested on the spot and thrown into the castle dungeon.
Although Marvin did not abuse her, it would be difficult for him to establish his prestige in the territory if he did not lock her up when facing someone who tried to deceive the lord.
So she was kept in the dungeon.
Until the invasion of the Jackals.
…
"How did she escape? Where are her two bodyguards?"
Marvin watched the communication between the girl and the werewolf with some amusement.
This female liar named Lola is quite capable. She can even speak Werewolf.
The language of the Gnolls is relatively simple, but because of the special vocal cord structure of the Gnolls, it is very difficult for creatures of other races to imitate it.
But this girl can speak the Werewolf language quite well, which shows that she is quite talented.
Although this kind of person is a liar, it is also crucial if he is used well.
At this moment, a werewolf suddenly grabbed the girl's clothes and put the dagger in his hand against her neck.
The speaking speed has increased a lot.
The gnolls nearby started to make a noise, some even drooling.
"I don't know how she fooled these gnolls into letting her out."
"But her current situation doesn't look very good."
"It's time to play a hero saving the beauty."
…
Laura was terrified.
Her usually extremely flexible mind went blank at this moment!
That damn nobleman threw himself in the dungeon and actually escaped alone.
When she was first discovered, she was almost eaten by the group of werewolves. If she had not been fluent in the werewolf language, she would have died.
But now, she had finally tricked these jackals into letting her out.
Unfortunately, when , she failed.
Now, this group of angry gnolls would not listen to her comfort.
They're going to eat her!
When Laura thought of this, her hands and feet became weak and she almost cried out.
"Laura! Be strong, be strong! "
"You must not cry. There must be a way. Over the years, no matter how difficult the environment was, I have survived it!"
The girl bit her lip, trying to calm herself down.
But when she saw the dagger on her neck, she suddenly panicked again.
Tears welled up in her eyes. The stench of the gnolls was so close that she opened her mouth and spoke in a calm tone:
"Listen to me, I really know a treasure..."
puff!
A burst of blood splashed out, and many drops flew into Laura's mouth!
She opened her mouth wide, staring in amazement at the werewolf leader in front of her whose head had been cut off!
A masked figure slowly emerged from the void.
“Ahhhh!”
The rest of the gnolls looked in amazement at the sudden appearance of this human being, and immediately rushed forward.
Like other less intelligent creatures such as kobolds and goblins, gnolls simply judge the strength of both sides based on numbers.
There were five of them, but only one and a half humans. The girl could only be counted as half.
No matter how you calculate it, we win.
pity……
Marvin is no ordinary human being!
Level 5 Ranger, 20 points of extra agility!
It's a bit dangerous for him to challenge a second-level professional, but it's more than enough to face a group of werewolf warriors with an average level of 2!
Whizzing!
The two scimitars spun in Marvin's hands with a cold glow. His movements were natural and graceful, and he moved nimbly among the jackals.
Each knife may not necessarily kill, but it will definitely cause disability!
The fighting style of a melee ranger is to aim at the opponent's vital points and beat him to death!
These gnolls had no armor, and their rough fur could not stop Marvin's scimitar.
In less than half a minute, a total of five gnolls lay quietly on the ground.
Marvin quietly took out a black rag, wiped the blood off the two knives, and put them away.
Laura, who was standing by, only reacted at this moment.
She bent to the side and began to vomit violently!
…
Three minutes later, inside the farmhouse.
"Gnoll blood is very fishy."
Ma Wen said quietly: "But after vomiting a few times, you will get used to it."
Wow!
Laura, who had just vomited, couldn't help but dry heave again when she heard this.
Her face turned very blue. She hadn't eaten much in the dungeon, and all she vomited was bile.
She just felt dizzy and dazed now, but her eyesight was still basically there.
This is a master. You can tell from the way he kills the jackal.
The other party was wearing a mask. All masters have some quirks. But, could it be that he was just ugly?
Laura was very active, and in a flash, she thought about many things. Finally, she said pitifully:
"Thank you for saving me."
"I am the daughter of the president of the White Flag Chamber of Commerce in Gem Bay. I came to the White River Valley to discuss business on behalf of the White Flag Chamber of Commerce."
"Who knew we would encounter so many gnolls. Thank you so much for your help."
"If you can give me something to eat and take me back to Gem Cove, I will repay you well."
After saying that, she looked at Marvin with that particularly pure look.
To be fair, Laura is very pretty, with a pair of big, watery eyes that are particularly deceptive.
Unfortunately, Marvin just threw a piece of hard bread to her.
"This is food." In order to keep his voice down, Marvin didn't want to say more, so as to avoid being discovered by this smart girl.
"I saved you because you seemed to know Gnoll."
"I have some use for you."
"Have a good sleep after eating, and follow me tomorrow morning."
Laura's eyes widened.
Unfortunately, Marvin completely ignored her and instead took out his scimitar and wiped it gently.
She was about to collapse!
Did he just escape from the sea of suffering of the jackals, only to fall into the hands of a murderous demon again?
Look at the way he wipes the knife, what is he trying to do?
Could it be that he wants to challenge the werewolf in that castle alone?
I admit that you are very skilled in martial arts, but we are outnumbered!
Laura ate her bread sensibly while complaining madly.
After she finished eating the bread, it was night. She wanted to find a chance to escape, but unfortunately the masked master didn't give her any chance at all.
"If you want to escape, I advise you to run as fast as you can."
"If you are caught by me, your fate will be much more horrible than that of a gnoll."
After saying that, Marvin half leaned against the door and began to take a nap and rest.
…
Laura's heart went cold. After seeing Marvin's skills, how could she dare to act rashly?
She couldn't sleep well that night.
The girl was afraid that this taciturn murderer would suddenly become ferocious and chop her up as if she were a jackal; or that he would become lustful and defile her.
Wait, which of these two situations is better?
Laura was extremely conflicted and was making comparisons in her mind.
Until dawn, she still couldn't come up with a conclusion.
At this time, Marvin suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly:
"Are you awake? It's time to get to work."
