Chapter 1082: Hostage
It's close to noon, and it's the most prosperous time in Anlitel City, but at this moment, everyone is around the scene of the crime and pointing, obviously wanting to see the follow-up. Some even staggered into the shop to see what was going on inside.
"I'm sorry, there was an accident today, and our store closed early. "The boss and the guy drove people out with black faces, anyway, they can't do business today.
"Captain, what should I do?"
At the window of a private room in a restaurant next to the street, two men were looking down through the window. One of them had long blond hair and a face as resolute as a rock, but at the moment his face was full of gloom, and the hand next to him knew that his boss was in a bad mood at this time, but he had to ask for instructions.
"I didn't expect that this guy Jules would find such a bodyguard. The blonde man snorted coldly, "What kind of organization is this wizard, is he also a bloodline warlock?"
"Captain, in our intelligence, there is no such person at all, she seems to appear out of thin air. And from her clothes, you can't see the power to which she belongs...... Seems to be a wandering wizard. Said his subordinate Ai Aidi.
"Jules is an Extreme Firebird Bloodline Warlock, how can a wandering wizard gain his trust so easily?"
At this time, the blonde man's heart was also a little irritable. After receiving the order of the young master, he came to kill Jules, first he wanted to use the means of borrowing a knife to kill people, so that Jules would die quietly in the forest, but he didn't expect that this guy would have a big life and come out alive. Originally, when he saw that Merlin was young, he sent a high-ranking swordsman to act as a killer, wanting to kill Jules with a poison needle, but he didn't expect that the sorceress reacted quickly, not only saved Jules' life, but also caught the killer, which was a little embarrassing, and at this time it was absolutely impossible for him to attack again, because the city guards were already coming, and he didn't have enough time to act.
"Captain?" the subordinate next to him shouted in a low voice.
The blonde man turned around and looked at him, and said coldly: "Hmph, that witch is very strong, this mission." It is not advisable to fight hard, in this way, if you arrange for someone to spy on me, I will not eat or sleep if I don't trust the sorceress, and she will not follow her all the time, will she? ”
"Yes, Captain. The subordinate answered, and immediately exited the private room.
The blonde man turned his head and continued to look down through the window...... The lively crowd on the street had not yet dispersed, and at this moment the cavalry of the city guard on horseback had just arrived.
……
Merlin had just sat down to catch her breath, and before she could even take a sip of water, a shopkeeper hurried in and told them that the city guards had arrived.
"These guys always show up after everything is settled. Merlin muttered quietly as she got up and walked outside.
Jules followed, motioning for a few shopkeepers to help carry the petrified guy out.
"Well, sir, what are you talking about?" the shopkeeper who walked behind her did not hear what she was saying, for Merlin's muttering was in Hebrew.
Merlin switched back to lingua franca and said, "No, it's nothing. ”
It's just a grumbling that doesn't have nutrition, and there's no need to repeat it.
Walking out of the shop, I saw that these soldiers of the city defense army in leather armor and armed with two-handed swords had taken over the responsibility of maintaining order from the frightened shop guys, and began to evacuate the crowd of onlookers.
An officer wearing metal chain mail, a blue cloak, and a sword slung from his waist approached them. It seems that this person should be the commander of this group of city defense troops.
"May I ask who you are?"
The officer of the city defense army asked humbly, and although he had seen two wizards among them, he had no intention of currying favor with them, nor was he too afraid.
However, he has already sent someone to inform the wizards sitting in the city, because wizards are a very special group of people, once something involves wizards, it has become a common practice for the city defense army to notify the wizards stationed in the city as soon as possible.
In the face of his question, Jules took over the heavy responsibility of negotiation as a matter of course, and of course, he also knew the importance and would not talk nonsense at such a time.
"We were just passing through here, not with any ill intentions, just hoping to take a break in the city before heading to the port city of Lohardi. However, when I came to this store, someone tried to murder me with a pin. The murderer is here, and here is the murder weapon he used. ”
He beckoned to several shopkeepers behind him, who immediately cooperated in carrying the killer in front of the officer.
Glancing at the 'stone statue', the officer then asked, "Do you know this killer?"
"I've never met this guy. Jules replied in the affirmative.
"Excuse me, excuse me. Merlin interrupted their conversation softly, and although her voice was not loud, no one dared to despise her because of her status as a wizard.
"Please, miss. The officer said very politely.
"My petrochemical is failing. She pointed to the 'stone statue' on the ground, which was already very pale and was about to disappear.
Hearing Merlin's words, the officer called over a soldier and brought ropes to prepare to re-tie the 'stone statue'. But looking at the gray and white color of the 'stone statue', the soldier didn't dare to do anything at all - who knows what kind of witchcraft it was, and what if there was danger?
Seeing the reaction of the city defense soldier, the corners of Merlin's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. With a flick of her fingers, the remnants of the petrified potion vanished without a trace.
At that moment, the 'stone statue' bounced up from the ground and slammed into the city guard soldier who was trying to tie him up.
The unsuspecting soldiers of the city defense army were knocked to the ground by him at once!
The killer did not rush to flee, but somehow took out a sharp short sword and put it on the neck of the city defense soldier.
"Stand back, or I'll kill him!"
This change made everyone froak for a moment, but they still took a few steps back as he said.
"You two ......"
He pointed at Merlin and Jules, "Honestly, if you dare to perform witchcraft, I will kill him." ‘
As he spoke, he dragged the city guard soldier back.
Considering the safety of the hostages, the people of the city defense army really didn't dare to do anything to him. As for Merlin, although they wanted to help, they had nowhere to start. The man's dagger was pressed against the hostage's artery, and if it wasn't handled properly, the hostage would be in danger.
Tomorrow weekend is off, I wish you all a happy weekend!*********************
