Chapter 23 Robbers

"Is it that obvious?"

Dorothy looked down at herself, lifted her foot, and touched her face.

"I look like a novice adventurer? How did you tell?"

"Charm?" Elor asked uncertainly.

"That's not important. In short, the people following us won't make a move in town. They'll probably continue to follow us after we leave tomorrow and find a less crowded place outside to strike."

Elor took out the map and glanced at it.

"Look here, the road passes through a dense forest when it gets here, they might be lying in ambush here."

Dorothy glanced at it.

It is indeed a very good ambush location.

"It's so obvious here, don't the sheriff of Silver Creek Town know? We've only just arrived and we've already been targeted. They must have done this kind of thing a lot."

Dorothy suspects the sheriff is connected to the robbers.

Elor didn't care about this at all.

"Get a good rest tonight, and just be careful around here tomorrow."

After Elor finished speaking, she removed the silencing spell, yawned, and walked towards the bed, preparing to rest.

Dorothy frowned slightly. "Now that you know what they're going to do tomorrow, aren't you worried?"

Elor patted the bed frame and the blanket with her hand.

"Worried? What is there for me to worry about? Worried that a magician like me will be defeated by bandits?"

Seeing Elor's nonchalant expression, Dorothy's eyelids twitched.

According to certain events I witnessed in my past life.

If "Gusha" happens tomorrow, it would be the best outcome for Elor.

Besides, this guy was cornered by goblins in the Giant Spider Forest before, how could he be so careless?

"Dorothy, you should get some rest too. They're just a bunch of commoners; they can't cause any trouble."

"Better safe than sorry. If you're this careless, you might just end up crashing in a ditch."

Dorothy still offered a reminder.

Elor simply waved his hand.

"Be careful? Hmph, if they dare to stop us tomorrow, I'll show them what happens when you anger a mage!"

After saying that, Elor kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

Having said that, Dorothy understood.

As a mage, Elor looked down on those bandits.

What is this? The arrogance of a magician?

Dorothy couldn't understand Elor's mindset.

Knowing full well that there was danger ahead, they still insisted on walking in themselves.

Isn't that stupid?!

In any case, Dorothy has no way of understanding Elor's thought process.

She closed her eyes and sensed it again.

Discovering that the two people who had been following her had left, she frowned slightly and turned to look at Elor, who had already closed her eyes and was asleep.

"Tomorrow, you drive the carriage forward yourself, and I will follow behind."

Dorothy decides to split up.

"Although I'd like to tell you that your worries are unnecessary, since you're concerned, just follow behind. I'll make the camel walk slowly..."

Elor didn't object to Dorothy. Her voice gradually weakened, her small mouth slightly open, and she slowly exhaled even, long breaths. She had fallen asleep.

Looking at Elor sleeping peacefully, Dorothy couldn't fall asleep at this moment.

She walked to the bedside, just about to lie down.

Her hand touched Elor's arm again.

Dorothy recoiled as if she'd been electrocuted.

"Ugh!"

He sighed, withdrew his hand, stood up, and sat down on the chair next to him.

Dorothy was not used to sleeping close to Elor.

My mind is conflicted, and my body is stiff.

Feeling her chaotic thoughts, Dorothy sat on the stool, closed her eyes, and began to use meditation to help her get rid of these distracting thoughts.

In any case, meditation can replace some sleep.

I comforted myself with this thought, and the night passed just like that.

……

Early the next morning.

Dorothy continued to allocate the newly acquired attribute points to Strength.

Strength attribute reaches 29.

After Elor and Dorothy checked out of the room, they went to the backyard, got out the carriage, and drove it out of town.

When leaving the town, the carriage will also be inspected by guards.

There are too many dangerous items in this town, and everyone entering or leaving is subject to very strict checks.

After the inspection was completed, Elor and Dorothy boarded the carriage, which suddenly sped up and quickly drove away from Silver Creek Town.

The carriage sped across the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Dorothy, completely covered by her cloak, used the sandstorm as cover and jumped directly off the carriage.

After a few rolls to dissipate the force, Dorothy, taking advantage of her short stature, hid in the bushes on either side of the road.

Wait patiently.

After a short wait, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

Five men rode past Dorothy at high speed on horseback.

At this point, Dorothy finally crawled out of the bushes.

Take a deep breath, and the magic power is slowly channeled to your legs.

They began to chase after the group of people who had just run past.

Dorothy pursed her lips, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

She maintained her magical perception to the greatest extent possible.

In Dorothy's perception, two figures in the group that had just passed by were very familiar.

It's the guy who was following them yesterday!

"They really are robbers!"

Dorothy controlled her speed, staying three hundred meters behind the group.

The dust kicked up by the horses' hooves wouldn't make Dorothy lose sight of her target.

The ever-increasing strength attribute points allow Dorothy to maintain both speed and stamina.

It is sufficient to maintain the speed of a fast horse for a long time without rest.

The advantages of improved basic attributes are gradually becoming apparent.

Soon, Elor drove the camel to the dense forest he had mentioned yesterday.

"Whoa! Stop!"

Looking at the giant tree blocking his way, Elor tightened the reins, bringing the camel to a stop.

Her expression showed no sign of panic.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, the bandits who had been hiding all around came out.

"Hehehe, she really is a young and pretty girl."

The person speaking had a horizontal scar on his face, which writhed as he spoke, making his face appear somewhat ferocious.

Elor looked at all the bandits who had come out.

"Only seven people? Looks like you've only been in this line of work for a short time?"

Upon seeing the number of bandits before him, a look of understanding crossed Elor's face.

The bandits on the other side didn't understand why Elor said that.

The man with the scar on his face frowned slightly; he had a bad feeling.

But looking at the young and beautiful Elor, he couldn't understand where this ominous feeling came from, and he simply assumed it was an illusion.

"Hmph, how many men I have is none of your business! Enough nonsense, hand over the gold coins now, and we might give you some comfort, otherwise..."

The bandit leader had just finished making his threats when he noticed that Elor was looking at him like he was an idiot.

"What's with that look? What are you looking at? Damn it..."

Before the bandit leader could finish speaking, Elor's magic staff was already pointed at him.

"Fireball!"

call!

A fireball the size of a human head appeared in front of the magic wand and shot towards the bandit leader instantly.

boom!

A loud bang.

The remaining bandits all stood frozen in place, their bodies stiff.

Where the bandit leader had stood, only a thick plume of black smoke remained, rising continuously.

"Only a bunch of thieves like you who've just started out robbing would be bold enough to target a mage."

At that moment, Elor's light, airy words rang out in the dense forest.
