Chapter 427: The Mysterious Old Woman
There is a vertical passage from the chamber upwards, and at the end of the passage is under a huge stone, through which the boulder deliberately reserves a hole to observe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Basically, every move around you can't escape the eyes of the observer. At this time, a young man dressed as a guy squatted weakly in the hole, covering his nose with one hand and holding a night vision goggle in the other, observing Xicheng.
Night vision goggles, a magical device that can be seen clearly in the dark, are a must-have for lurkers. The air was filled with blood, and by this time the massacre in the West City had ended, Romero and Hoogers rushed to the base camp with their men to join Marx.
The young man retreated into the secret room below, took a long breath, and sighed: "It's really his grandmother's tragedy, even the snow is dyed red. The Odin Empire has suffered heavy losses this time, hey, no matter, hurry up and report to the adults. ”
As he spoke, the young man said the secret passage underground, heading towards the southeast of the Heavenly Absolute City.
The southeast of the Heavenly Absolute City is a gathering place for merchants, and during the peaceful years, the Heavenly Absolute City is the largest passage connecting the Odin Empire and the Bright God Kingdom, where merchants come and go to exchange each other's needs. With more and more merchants, the scattered shops can no longer be satisfied, so the general of the Heavenly Absolute Army has specially set aside a piece of land in the southeast of the Heavenly Absolute City to be a commercial area.
This can be said to be a pure commercial area, and the southeast of Heavenly Absolute City is facing the rear of the empire, and there is generally no threat. So apart from the sergeants on duty on the city walls, there were only sergeants who maintained law and order. Now, due to the period of the magic war, although most of them have left the Heavenly Peerless City to go home, only a very few merchants with an extremely adventurous spirit are still stubbornly staying here, waiting for business opportunities.
With the arrival of Russell Dafa Sheng, the way home was completely closed, and the business district was completely deserted. There was no business contact, no comings and goings, and the very few businessmen left behind could only close their doors and hide at home trembling and dying. For fear that if you are not careful, you will suffer a catastrophe.
A shop in the commercial area that does a medicinal herb business, the door is closed at this time, and the inside and outside of the shop, including the backyard, are pitch black. Silence engulfed the night, not the slightest movement of people, not even the whispers of sleep. There was only one cat, tossing and turning in the shop foraging for food, occasionally making a lonely meow.
The backyard is equally dark, with a hidden passage to the ground hidden in the closet of the boss's bedroom. I twisted and turned along the dark passage, and when I was about twenty meters above the ground, I came to a spacious secret room.
The secret room was built at the bottom of the pond in the courtyard, and the rockery in the pond was the vent of the secret room. In all directions, there are several dark passages that twist and turn, and I don't know where they lead. The secret room is fully furnished, and there is a bedroom, a storehouse, and a special kitchen. The kitchen has been specially adapted to ensure that no smoke is generated, exposing its place.
The owner of the herb shop was a middle-aged man, with curly black hair, a square face, and very upright facial features, but the two beards were also curled upwards as unruly as the hair. The boss's name is Bai Ruide, and his ancestors have been running a herb shop in Tianjue City for generations, and it seems that he has been running it for a hundred years.
The inconspicuous woman next to her, who was plain and ordinary from head to toe, was the proprietress Huahua. Although the proprietress is called Huahua, the proprietress can't associate with the beautiful and bright flowers in any way. The guests who come and go from the north to the south often laugh and talk behind their backs, and the proprietress should change her name to Dog Tail Grass to match.
The boss and the proprietress should be the most powerful people in the herb shop, but the boss and the proprietress in the secret room at the moment are very restrained. And the old woman on the other side, because she is too old, eats in the firewood room in the backyard and waits for death on weekdays. Although the shop is not very big, there are only about a dozen men in total, but it is not bad for the old woman to eat. It is said that the old woman's wife died early, and her only son was buried in the belly of the monster while collecting medicinal herbs in the Tianfu Mountains.
Now the old woman sat upright in the chair, and the folds of her face were unexpectedly stretched, except for the gray hair, there was no look of old age at all.
The boss Bai Ruide said respectfully: "My lord, it has been ascertained that tonight is the night attack of the Holy See on the Heavenly Absolute City, because the night attack is too sudden, it is estimated that the Odin Empire will suffer a big loss, do we have to prepare?" ”
The old woman smiled faintly, her mouth was no longer suffocated, and a flush of ruddy appeared: "Why are you preparing, preparing to retreat?" Rhett, is it that you have too many leisurely days and become less daring? Don't forget, this is a purely commercial area, and there is basically no danger in both ordinary and magical wars. The noble magician's intention is to destroy the other party's magician, and will he take a second look at us civilians? Ordinary sergeants are nothing more than here to seek wealth and lust. Ask for money, and give them gold coins. Asking for color, hey, hey, just spend that respectful face, do you think people are interested? ”
Is this a naked slap in the face, or a direct slap in the face in front of people. What do you mean that even a sergeant who hasn't seen a woman for years is not interested, it's too hurtful to say. Flowey's shriveled breasts rose and fell rapidly, and her face was red at first, then cyan, and then pale. It seems that this old woman is not a person to be messed with, Huahua didn't dare to sneer at each other, so she could only swallow the humiliation into her stomach.
The changes on Huahua's face can't hide from the old woman's eyes. The old woman smiled and narrowed her eyes: "So, am I wrong?" Well, for the sake of your dedication to assisting Rhett over the years, I would like to give you good news, and when this war is over, you two will be able to go home. You have no merit and hard work, and when the time comes, you will ask Lord Kaudos for some magic potions, and maybe you will be able to regain your body and maybe conceive a child. How many years do you think I'm eating your vinegar and jokes, and my mother can still eat the grass? ”
The relationship between the three seems to be complicated, and the old woman has unfortunately become an outcast.
When they heard that they would be able to go home after the war, the boss and the proprietress were so excited that they didn't take the old woman's bad words to heart. What's more, the old woman also provided information that the proprietress estimated what medicine she had taken in order to be lurking, so she became so dignified. It seems that Lord Kaudos has a magic potion for recovery, which gives the proprietress a hope, how can a woman not love beauty.
Human life is very simple, often all they want is hope, and only when there is hope can there be hope.
