Chapter 155: Gray-robed ghost face
It may seem sinister, but it's not complicated.
Old Miller and his friends go to the western woods to collect medicinal herbs, but they stumble upon a man with Reinhardt's family crest embroidered on his chest, discussing something with a Templar. A few people wanted to take a detour, but they overheard that they were plotting to secretly poison the old king with the help of others.
The three of them were taken aback and were about to sneak away, but they heard a sharp cry overhead, and a blue-feathered eagle with a red sarcoma on its head spread its wings and swooped down. The three of them ran desperately, but they were stopped by a strange man wearing tattered gray robes and a hideous ghost face more than ten meters away. Immediately, the giant eagle pounced, flapped its wings violently and blew two fishy winds, and the toxins in the storm instantly brought down the three of them. Before falling unconscious, Miller Sr. saw the Eccentric and the Templar standing side by side, with an extremely intimate attitude, apparently their accomplices.
“...... And then I passed out!No, my old Mike must not let those villains get their way!, I must tell the guards the news!" said the brown-haired man and was about to get out of bed, but before he could take two steps, he sat down on the edge of the bed with his legs limp.
Luo Ning held him down: "Uncle, you rest here." Inform the guards and leave it to my puppets to do!" With that, in the surprised eyes of the Millers, the two puppets were ordered to retire separately. The Warrior Monk went straight to the Condor Legion headquarters on the left, while the Tomb Master went to the Goddess's Palace to bring the news to Princess Lena.
Seeing that old Miller was still anxious, Fanya asked Ronin, "Master, should we keep an eye on that strange man?" ”
"Uncle only saw the man yesterday in the forest in the western suburbs. There's no clue but his recollections, and you have a way to find the man?"
The corners of Fanya's mouth turned up: "Of course! My Wind Snake Clan's tracking ability is very powerful! Except for the last time I was placed by my master, I have never missed! I have memorized the smell of poison on the blue-feathered poisonous eagle! As long as it is still in the royal capital, it will definitely be found by me!" Fanya said as she stretched out her index finger, a ball of blue water spun around her fingertips, and her expression was calm, as if everything was under her control.
Half a day later, the sun was already setting in the west, and Luo Ning and Karen finally found the trace of the blue-feathered poisonous eagle in the sky near the western wall of the royal capital.
Luo Ning raised his head and saw that the poisonous eagle had a black sarcoma in the middle of his forehead, his eyes were cold, and his sharp beak was curved like a hook, looking very vicious. But for some reason, the behemoth spread its huge wings and hovered freely on the outside of the city walls, neither invading nor moving away.
"Master, look there!" Fannya transformed into a seven-inch snake wrapped around Ronin's neck and stuck her head out into an alley.
"You're here, I'll take a look at the situation!" After saying that, Luo Ning escaped into a stealth state and quietly touched it from the entrance of the alley, only to find that there were many people standing inside. Most of them were familiar faces that Luo Ning had seen in the mercenary union. The mercenaries split into two strands with black faces, blocking a gray-robed man wearing a devil's mask in the middle.
"Friends, did you want to invite me to drink with me in this alley?" Pale teal wine trickled down his weedy beard to his chest, dripping through his gray robe and onto the ground. But the man didn't realize it, his eyebrows stretched up, and he praised the mellow taste of wine.
One of the leading mercenaries stepped forward and said with a smile: "Roger, the ghost-faced man, it is rumored in the mercenary world that sixty percent of your strength is on that blue-feathered poisonous eagle. Now that we've cast a spell to trap it outside the royal capital, I see how much skill you have left to be arrogant!"
The ghost-faced gray robe known as Roger pinched the wine bag in his right hand, pointed at the mercenaries around him one by one, and chuckled lightly again and again: "How much power do I have left, and what do I have to do with you? To deal with you group of waste, it is a waste to use a collar! Hahaha!" The mercenaries were furious when they heard this, and the encirclement was reduced by two meters.
Seeing this, Luo Ning thought to himself: "Although this ghost-faced man is hateful, he is a bold guy!
He was about to inhale the mellow smell twice, but he heard Fanya remind: "Master beware, that wine is poisonous, these people won't live long!"
Immediately, Luo Ning felt a pain in his shoulder, and Leng Buding was bitten by Fanya. Two streams of venom poured from its fangs into Ronin's body, causing him to feel a tingling in his shoulders.
Ronin guessed that it wanted to fight poison with poison, and his heart was warm: "Thank you, Fanya! I had taken the antidote from the Wizard Doctor of the Firmament, Lord Lan. Although this poison is powerful, it can't let me go!"
Only then did Fanya let go, and plunged into Ronin's collar and didn't come out. Although Luo Ning was safe and sound, the mercenaries who surrounded the Ghostface suffered a disaster. As he explained the situation to Fanya, one by one, the men felt breathless, their throats itched, and dark blue blood began to flow from their eyes and nostrils. In agony, they scratched their necks with their hands, scratching their skin and leaving bloody marks. But even so, the mercenaries died one after another and fell to the ground.
In fact, these dozen or twenty mercenaries are not weak, and the worst one is also the best among the intermediate warriors. If the formation is opened, even if Fanya makes a move, it will take a lot of effort to kill. However, Roger, the ghost-faced man, is good at using poison, and anyone who uses poison likes the situation where the opponent is unaware. From the moment he opened the sac in a dashing manner, these people were destined to die on the spot.
Seeing that all the mercenaries in the alley were killed, Roger's devil mask swept coldly over these corpses, and from under the mask came a disdainful snort, turning around and continuing to walk outside the city. However, at an angle that Ronin couldn't see, Roger's eyes glanced at where Ronin was, as if sensing something.
Seeing him walk away, Ronin hurriedly instructed Fania, "You go and meet Karen, and then follow me together." I'll go up and see what I'm going to do. Don't worry, I have two puppets to protect me, and I'm not afraid of the poison on his body, so nothing will happen!"
Fania led the order to jump off the ground and scurry to Karen across the street.
There, Karen couldn't see the situation in the alley clearly, but she kept an eye on the movements of the Bluefeather Poison Eagle. At this time, Fanya suddenly climbed on her shoulder, she knew that this was Luo Ning's magic pet, so she was not afraid, pointed to the blue figure in the air and said, "That poisonous eagle doesn't seem to be able to enter the royal capital." Now it's flying out of the city again!"
"It's right if you can't get in!" Fania hastily explained the situation just now, and chased after Ronin with Karen.
