26 Battle around the Brilliant Battle Bow (1)
Catherine and the three of them came to the edge of the square, and to their surprise, the people in the square gathered in front of the Paradise of the Brave for some reason. They surrounded a field in front of the big tent, three circles inside and three circles outside. No one noticed, and the Kurid mercenary group quietly returned.
The three of them looked at the crowd in the distance and strolled into the square. The festivities should be at their climax, with some tables just halfway through the table and some places already in disarray, and the occasional person with a barrel lying under the table.
Catherine could have imagined what people were just celebrating. But they seem to be suddenly attracted to something, so they leave in a hurry, leaving behind the sight in front of them.
"Could it be that the green wind is there?" Ferry picked up a bottle of wine that was placed on the table, but it was empty and had already been drunk.
"I think it's probably the committee that made trouble. Ace was a little uneasy, "Let's hurry over and take a look, Green Wind definitely needs our help." ”
The three of them walked quickly to the crowd and tried to squeeze in. It's just that there are so many people that everyone is tiptoeing and stretching their necks to look in. Catherine couldn't squeeze through at all.
"Try this. Ace dragged over a table, and the three of them simply climbed onto the table to let their eyes look over the crowd.
The first thing Catherine saw were three trees, three trees that looked a little different. They are almost identical in form, bare and do not have a single leaf. Each tree has only two large branches, which branch out and point to the sky. The trees appear to be about five meters tall, with trunks as thick as two hands together. They grow in a staggered manner on the ground, about two or three meters apart, forming an equilateral triangle.
In Catherine's opinion, it is difficult for these trees to really be called "trees". Because their trunks are too straight and a little smooth, they are completely devoid of the roughness of ordinary tree branches, and the mottled color and unevenness of bark that naturally form.
The three trees weren't originally growing there, Catherine could be sure. She only passed in front of the Paradise of the Brave in the evening, how could she not have any impression of such a distinctive three trees?
"I'll admit that these three trees are a little weird, but is it worth looking at them like babies?" Ferry couldn't understand what everyone was looking at.
This is a question that Catherine also wants to ask. No matter how special a tree is, it is just a tree, and there is no reason why so many people would look around them all the time.
"Huh?" said Ace, apparently out of the doorway, "you keep an eye on a branch. ”
Catherine focused her gaze on a tree branch. In a moment she noticed that the branch seemed to flicker, as if something was speeding by. However, this phenomenon is irregular, sometimes it happens every few seconds, and sometimes it doesn't move at all for half a minute.
Could it be some kind of illusion? The Council's Lady Frost was a master of illusion. But Catherine immediately dismissed her idea. She really couldn't figure out why Fei Shuang had to turn into three trees and let the residents of the whole city watch together.
Fortunately, the puzzle was quickly answered. "Oh-" because all the audience exclaimed at the same time.
I saw two figures, in no particular order, appearing together on two trees. The difference is that one of the two men sits almost entirely against the branches, while the other stands in a dashing manner between the two branches. Immediately afterwards, the figure of the man who was leaning on the branch of the tree began to tilt slowly, and he fell to the ground with a "clatter".
"It's not good, it's the green wind. Ace was the first to shout. He jumped off the table, brutally pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. Catherine and Ferry jumped off the table after him.
The crowd of onlookers immediately recognized the three Catherines, and they automatically retreated to both sides, making way for a passage. Ace rushed under the tree to help the green wind, and the elve's mouth was bleeding, his face was pale, and his eyes were tightly closed. Fortunately, there was still a slight rise and fall in his chest, and it seemed that he had just passed out from his injuries.
Before the Feelets arrived, a healing spell had been thrown at Green Wind. He then walked quickly to Green Wind and crouched down, his hand touching the elf's chest, emitting a soft light that enveloped Green Wind's body.
Catherine stood aside, looking nervously at the green wind in the treatment. But Ace glanced at her, and the mage quickly raised her head and looked up at the tree.
"Mr. Grey Cloud, can you explain?" Catherine asked stiffly.
Grey Cloud stood on a tree branch and looked down at the Kuhl mercenary group, his smile still the same, and he bowed calmly and politely. But the clothes on his body obviously left traces of a fight, which made Gray Cloud's calmness look a little reluctant.
The atmosphere was a little strange at the moment, and the residents of the corner city had become unusually quiet because of the appearance of the three Catherins. They didn't have the enthusiasm they had for the Kuhl mercenary group before the celebration began, and they didn't even have the kind of emotions they had just watched.
It was an uncomfortable feeling, and Catherine felt a lot of sweat in her palms under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes. But Grey Cloud didn't seem to be about to answer her question, and after saluting, he turned his head in the direction of Paradise for the Brave.
Catherine followed the gray cloud's gaze and noticed the other members of the Corner City Executive Committee in the crowd. They sat behind a long row of tables like judges.
Apparently Grey Cloud's glance back was some kind of inquiry, and Lady Vicie, who was sitting in the center, nodded slowly, very slightly. Although she had a gentle smile on her face, it was a very resolute gesture in Catherine's eyes. Even with her statement, the faces of the other five committee members became a little heavy.
Gray Cloud turned to look at Catherine, and her body suddenly disappeared out of thin air, disappearing without a trace. Catherine's mouth opened wide, her heart full of surprise.
"Who?" said As's scolding from beside her, and Catherine hurriedly looked sideways, only to see a vague figure flashing past Green Wind.
"What's going on?" Catherine immediately crouched down to check on Midorikaze, who seemed to be fine.
But Ace threw a punch on the ground in anger, and he said with a cold face, "Look over there." ”
Catherine looked up and saw that Grey Cloud had actually appeared at the commissioners' long table, holding a small silver bow that glowed incessantly.
"Isn't that the Brilliant Battle Bow, and how is it in his hand?" asked Catherine.
"It wasn't in his hands just now, it was in the hands of Green Wind. "I didn't notice that Green Wind kept holding that bow in his hand. ”
"Well, that figure just now is a gray cloud. Catherine had already reacted, "He's so fast. ”
In fact, it's not just the gray cloud, if the gray cloud and the green wind were fighting on the three trees just now, then their speed is simply incredibly fast. This speed was beyond Catherine's perception of ordinary speed.
Gray Cloud, who stood in front of the six commissioners, laid the glorious battle bow flat on the table in front of Lady Visse. The six members of the committee, including the residents of the surrounding corner towns, focused everyone's attention on the short warbow.
Although she was several meters away, Catherine could still feel the burning gaze from the eyes of the people around her. There was a longing in their gaze, which filled the air like substance.
"Outcasts, do you think that a glorious war bow will bring you back to the arms of the Elven King?" At this time, it was naturally the goblin scholar who would speak like this, Professor Twelve Toes.
The old professor miraculously appeared on the long table in front of the committee members, and he pointed to the war bow with one hand behind his back and the other and said, "You hypocritical fellows, do you want to snatch it by force?"
"Old professor, you don't come to make trouble. Fei Shuang couldn't help but scold the first, "This matter has nothing to do with you, what are you here to make a fuss? You are already an undead, go back to your cemetery." ”
Who knew that the old professor ignored Fei Shuang, and let Fei Shuang grit his teeth in anger. The goblin scholar just looked at Lady Vicie and said, "That young man is not defeated. According to the tradition of the elven royal family, if he has not been knocked down from the 'Tree of the Royal Court', then the victory is not decided. I'm not wrong, am I?"
"Mr. Professor, you know a lot. Mrs. Vicie seemed a little surprised that the old professor had intervened at this time, but only a little.
"Mr. Professor, Fei Shuang is not wrong, this matter has nothing to do with you. Lady Visy pointed to the Chur mercenary group and said, "If it weren't for you, Captain Catherine, they wouldn't have been able to get out of the Paradise of the Brave so easily." You're too wide, you're not an elf, you're a goblin. ”
