Chapter 123: A Stranger Who Passed By

Tom pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation at the next table, she was probably the daughter of the lord's family.

The man dressed as a guard said, "Miss Lily, the site of the battlefield back then will have to walk north for another day to arrive. We were able to rest in town for a day or two before heading out. ”

- They're going to the site of the Battle of Huerdo.

- Lily, what a nice name.

The man next to Lily said, "Then Lily, let's rest for two days before leaving." This is Fabian's mother's hometown, and she told me that the Feathered Serpent has a lot of special techniques for using source energy, and I must learn it if I have the chance. ”

- Caranga: Where are they? They're not from the New World?

- Who is this kid?

The beautiful maid said: "The Quetzalcoatl people are all natural hunters, but although this place is called the City of Hunters, in fact, most of the Quetzalcoatl people do not live in the city, and the city is just their trading market. If you want to learn source energy skills from them, you can only go to their village. ”

- Oh, this maid is so beautiful, with a different charm.

The guard said: "Mr. Jacques, Miss Lily, I suggest that we get out of here as soon as possible, the source energy skills are not something that can be mastered overnight, and those Wharton private soldiers still make me very uneasy before, and I am afraid that things will not be so easy to end." It is better to cross the mountain pass as soon as possible, and get to the colony of Stuart, and it will be safe. ”

- Wharton? Are they involved with the Whartons?

- That kid's name is Jacques, and what does it have to do with my goddess?

Lily said: "Then let's rest for a day before we set off, nameless, you arrange for someone to purchase supplies on the road, and we will leave tomorrow." ”

- The goddess is leaving!

After Lily and her party finished eating, they went out to find the hotel.

Tom's potato beef was still unfinished, and as he bit the spoon, he muttered, "Daddy Owen, do you know where Carango is?"

Owen, the owner of the restaurant, replied as he cleaned up the table: "Of course you kid from the North don't know, you just ask me, a southerner, it's a small town next to Port Mousse." ”

Sure enough, from the Empire, pretty southern girl.

......

Three days later, at noon, Tom had dinner at Daddy Owen's restaurant.

The door to the restaurant was pushed open, and in came a masked woman, followed by a full-armored warrior.

Although the woman was masked, her body was hot, and Tom was immediately attracted to it.

The warrior walks over to Daddy Owen's bar, pulls out a piece of paper with a portrait on it, and asks Daddy Owen if he's ever seen the man.

Tom is also a transcendent person after all, and he can see the portrait on the paper from a distance, which is the woman he met yesterday.

The masked woman suddenly turned her head and faced Tom with her masked face, so frightened that the glass of sugar water in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Immediately, the woman walked up to Tom, and the warrior followed.

The masked woman sat down across from him and said in a hoarse voice, "Have you seen this woman?"

Tom looked down at his gray tax officer's uniform, and his courage suddenly increased, and he said loudly, "This officer has seen it...... I still haven't seen it, do I need to report back to you?"

The all-armored warrior, taking off his helmet and about forty years old, said, "We are hunting down this woman and her accomplices on the orders of Lord Wharton, if you see it, let me know." ”

"I have seen them, and I know where they are. But why should the official tell you, the Wharton family and the official are not familiar with each other. Tom wanted to take the opportunity to make some benefits, and after a few years as an official, Tom thought that he had already practiced a certain level of art in the art of speaking and doing things.

A coercion fell, and Tom felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, everything around him became huge, the table in front of him was like a mountain, and the warrior and the woman in black were invincible giants taller than the mountains, as if he was about to become a grain of rice or dust.

A thunderous hoarse voice sounded: "Think about it carefully and tell me everything you know, otherwise you are a little tax collector, and I will be crushed to death with one finger." ”

With that, the woman stretched out her giant palm and turned it into a finger, so huge that it could almost pierce the sky, and pressed down in front of Tom, and he felt like he was going to be crushed to death!

At this time, how could he not know that the masked woman with a hot figure in front of him was a grandmaster, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, spare my life, the official will say everything, I will say everything!"

Everything returned to normal, Tom was sweating profusely, leaning back in his chair, seeing the warrior's gaze, he hurriedly said, "I saw them here at noon the day before yesterday, a group of two women and more than ten guards. They set out yesterday for the ruins of the battlefield at the Huerdo Pass, and then they were going to cross the pass, and that's all I know. ”

The warrior said to the masked woman: "My lord, there is a difference of more than a day, we will catch up with them now overnight, and we can intercept them in the valley tomorrow, there is only one road there, and we will never miss it, and when they cross the valley, we, as private soldiers, the Stuarts, will not let us pass through the other side of the pass." ”

The woman stood up and said, "Let them assemble and go!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the two left, Tom still had palpitations, but there was a sense of hatred after being humiliated.

That night, Tom tosses and turns in bed, sometimes with Lily's angelic face, and sometimes with the terrifying oppression left by the masked woman.

Sweating profusely under the covers, Tom sat up and walked to the desk to take a pen and write:

On August 12, 982, the subordinates met in the city of Betio, which may have involved a noble relationship, and dared to tell it.

At noon on August 10th, his subordinates met Miss Lily, a nobleman of the Duchy of Castile, and her retinue Jacques, and let them enter the city after collecting taxes on the city. On the second day they went out of the city to the north, and it is said that they went to the Huerdo Pass.

On August 12th, about 20 of the retainers of the New World Lord Wharton, led by a dark grandmaster, came to Betio City, behaved perversely, refused to pay taxes, and claimed to be chasing and killing Miss Lily and her party. And on the same day, he left the city and chased to the Huerdo Pass.

The subordinates believed that this matter involved the contradictions between the lords of the New World and the nobles of the empire, and it was even possible that the contradictions had intensified, so they told him and hoped that the superiors would continue to investigate.

Tax Officer Tom

......

A month and a half later, in the imperial capital, in the small courtyard outside the east gate of the palace.

"Master Odoka, what's the matter?"

"Your Highness, there is a report from the New World, I think it's quite confusing, because it involves that person, you said that as long as the news related to him is sent as soon as possible, so ......"

"Oh, show me ......."

"Hmm...... Lily, do you think this Lily from Port Mousse will be his fiancée who died half a year ago?"

"The subordinates sent someone to check, if only the name Lily appeared, it may be a duplicate name or something, but the name 'Jacques', said to be Lily's apprentice, also disappeared after the explosion that day.

Port Moussey also had a lawsuit in which Viscount Ginoa accused him of killing his own son and his team during the Misty Forest Challenge. The son of Viscount Bernande, who was on his team, and the granddaughter of Lord Astori, denied it, and he could not find it himself, and the case was deadlocked. ”

"'Beast Summoning'? he's a Chaos Transcendent, isn't he......?

"Wait, Odoka, if, I mean, if there is any skill that can save that person's fiancée in the event of that big explosion at that time, I think it can only be the chaos system that everyone doesn't understand!

This news is blocked, but I want the intelligence points in the New World to pay attention to the information of these two people, especially Yamaguchi's, to find out whether they were caught up by Wharton's people, dead or alive. Give them a pseudonym, I don't want that person to know what we're doing.

I think this clue can be followed, and if she can escape from that explosion, maybe the grandmaster of the Wharton family can't help her. If she lives, maybe there will be a surprise!

I want to see that man's face, and he is said to be heartbroken by the death of his fiancée!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"
