Chapter 17: Shadow Kill
Witt poked Arthur in the back of the head again, and stabbed him in the back of Arthur's hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I just said that I must not spend money indiscriminately, and now I say that I want to buy beep, are you deliberately trying to make me angry?"
Arthur didn't speak, just looked at Werther and smirked.
Witt pointed to the bounty order: "Look carefully at what it says, make no mistake, and see if you need to take someone's head." ”
Arthur hummed, picked up the bounty order and looked at the requirements carefully, and said after reading it: "Only write about life and death, not whether you need to take a head." Vitergo, what to do? ”
Witt looked at the corpses all over the ground, sighed lightly, and said: "Anyway, this place is not far from Wommir, you can reach it in half a day, and others know that there are bandits here, and they won't take this road, and the corpses will probably be even more untouched, so let's leave it like this, let's go to Wommel first." ”
After collecting the reward order, the three of them hit the road again.
Arthur said casually: "Speaking of which, this gang of bandits is not strong at all, and the attack methods designed before are not used." ”
Nain's hands subconsciously clasped together: "Ah, that...... It's best to be able to use my abilities without ......."
Witt said: "But thanks to your timely response, I didn't expect them to have explosives, and I was really worried at the time." ”
Arthur approached Nain, patted the girl's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it is worthy of my spirit shadow, I react quickly enough, and I make a decision immediately, hahahahahahahaha!" Terrific! Terrific! ”
Nain's face hung down slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly shyly.
Before the sun set, the trio reached Wormere. Although it was a remote town, it was a big place that the three of them had arrived in for the first time, and the three children looked up at the tall city walls and gates, and their hearts were churning.
"I don't know why, but I feel a sense of pride." Arthur took a deep breath, held his head high, a smile on his face, and looked at the flags fluttering in the wind on the city wall with pure black eyes, and his eyes seemed to be shining.
"I can understand your feelings, probably, and so am I." Witte also held his head high, there was no smile on his face, and like Arthur, he stared at the fluttering flags on the city walls, his blue eyes as clear as the clear sky, "Father is the only one in the village who has been to Wommel, and now, I am here too." ”
Naine stood between Arthur and Werther, she looked to the left and then to the right, and although she didn't fully understand the feelings of the two, she was happy for them.
Arthur trotted all the way to the guard guarding the door, and he held up the crumpled bounty and shouted, "Excuse me! Where can I get my bounty? We've killed all the bandits! ”
The guards were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and finally at Arthur, and laughed at the same time, and when they saw Werther and Nayin coming after them, their laughter resumed after a short pause, and they laughed even harder.
When the laughter was enough, the guard in front of Arthur poked the spear in his hand to the ground, and suddenly roared with a straight face: "Where did the stinky little ghost come from, if you want to cheat money, you don't look at the place!" ”
Arthur was angry, but he still decided that it was not worth carrying people on the road just to convince them, especially when there were no beasts.
He tilted his head, looked at the guards who were much taller than him and had hideous faces, and said loudly: "Just because I don't dare to cheat money in Wommel, it is impossible to talk nonsense." You know the bandits' home base, right? Wouldn't it be nice to send someone to take a look, ride a beep, and it will only take ten minutes to go back and forth. We'll wait here, and if it's sure we're messing around, then we'll be arrested. ”
Several of the guards didn't look like Arthur was lying, and when they thought about it, both teenagers were armed with weapons, if they were adventurers or mercenaries. There is little chance of deliberately causing trouble in Wormere, and since the bandits, the road has been almost impassable to civilians.
After they whispered their discussions, the oldest guard gave instructions for Arthur to wait while he went to inform his superiors. Not long after, with a heavy rumbling sound, the gates slowly opened, and a small group of horsemen came out of the city with a neat beep of beeping, all of them wearing armor and spears, and quickly disappeared into the yellow sand.
Although the speed of the beep was fast, and the cavalry team was soon gone, Arthur could still see it clearly, he recalled the thick thighs of the beep, the wide and wide open toes, the plump colored feathers and short tail, the equally thick head and neck, not counting the crown feathers more than two meters in height, the dark orange eyes were sharp, the huge hard beak was slightly open, and the upper and lower rows of fine teeth could be seen, and the three bright blue crown feathers that symbolized the male were standing vertically above the head, shining in the setting sun, and he imagined himself riding on the body.
"It's the fastest chocobo! When I have the money, I must buy it! ”
Werther wanted to remind Arthur of the price of the beep, but he remembered the excitement and fascination of Arthur when he first showed Arthur a book with a beep when he was a child, and Witt swallowed back what he wanted to say. He wants to spend more energy on hunting commissions in the future and try to earn more bounties.
When the remnant sun was about to end, the cavalry returned, Arthur thought that the bounty was about to arrive, but he didn't expect that the cavalry after returning would soon go out of the city again, the tall beep and the heavily armed cavalry raised their weapons and surrounded the three of them, with spears pointed straight in front of them, not to mention the possibility of resisting and escaping, even if they moved slightly, the tip of the spear would pierce into the body.
The castle, located at the highest point of Wommeer, was heavily guarded at the moment, and the soldiers seemed to feel an inexplicable atmosphere and looked nervous, and one by one they clenched their weapons in their hands and guarded them closely.
In the castle lord's study, located at the top of the castle, the lord of the castle, Versayn Gun, holds his head in his hands, his slightly curly brown hair hangs between his arms, his thick dark brown beard of the same color as his eyebrows is pressed against the table, and his rough fingers are buried in his hair, and his fingertips touch the diamond-shaped crown that symbolizes the castle lord.
Not yet fifty years old, he looked tired and old, his rich robe seemed to lose color because of the way he sits, and his deeply sunken eyes stared straight ahead at the human head placed on the table. The bulging bags of his eyes deepened the dark shadow between his eyes, and because of the pain and hatred in those eyes, the city lord seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and had no intention of stepping out.
Commander Chida Ubises stood aside. This middle-aged man was the most trusted person of the city lord and the second most powerful person in Wommel. He was short and slightly fat, with a surprisingly round face, eyes like two shiny beans, protruding front teeth, his hands habitually placed in front of him, and a slightly bowed posture, if you only look at the figure, he looks like a fat mouse. Even the expensive official uniform and the round leather hat inlaid with gems did not add the slightest dignity to him.
