Chapter 496: Enemies Emerge
August 10, 2 p.m
TolistaγThis is a town that seems to be a little out of place with the overall atmosphere of the empire.,A strong sense of history but no sense of obsolescence.,At the same time, because of the existence of the pilot broadcast, the people's lives are more cheerful and active.,This makes many people puzzled.,After all, radio is a thing that Semlia generally doesn't care much about.,Even Crossbell is because he "doesn't want to use" and doesn't use things to appear in the empire It's a rare thing, and it's even more rare that the residents of Tolista still like it, This has to be attributed to Vita, who is not doing her job every day, because others broadcast everything except the current affairs of the empire and official notices, and I heard that it seems that some youth novels are broadcast and I don't know if it's true, what is worth talking about here is the relocation of the Tolz Military Academy, the original symbol of Tolista is the academy full of talents, but the empire moved it to the imperial capital and I don't know why, in short, the consequence of this is that the entire student street has entered the renovation stage, And only a piece of flat land remained on the site of the former military academy
"You said you received a communication from Angelica here, but the first contact was interrupted by gunshots and gasps after being shot," Chong repeated the question at the station after more than twenty minutes of train travel, "which means you suspect that she was killed?" β
"Please add the word senior sister after Xiao An's name, it's not too important," Tova, whose eyes were still a little red, nodded, "Because this commission was originally Xiao An, she suddenly proposed to go with Li En, and I heard that her family sent a letter to dissuade her after she found out, but she said it didn't matter."
"I know, I'll go to the vicinity of the station to ask when Rien and the others will enter the station," Chong said helplessly as he looked at Tova, who was about to cry again
"I'm sorry I wasn't too crying," Tova bowed, in fact, although she looked fragile, she was not a sentimental little girl, but this matter was related to her best friend, and it was inevitable to worry
(The sound of gunfire and gasps after being shot but no shouts came from the communication, could it be that the first sight of the first sight was decisively shot first?) If this is the case, then the possibility that the enemy that Lane and the two may encounter may be a well-trained army or a criminal or an army can be directly ruled out, Tolista has neither the federal army of the nobles nor the gendarmerie of the imperial capital, it is a rare town of peace, so it can only be criminals, and the commission that Lane received is likely to be to capture those who are on the run, if so, then at least the number of people known in the intelligence is not too large, assuming that it is assessed as two people equal to Lane and Angelica, So now we have to at least double the number, probably five people first, of course, this number should only be more, not less
"No way" Chong had to let Tova wait in the waiting hall first, while he went to the platform to inquire about the train passenger table
Twenty minutes later
This is not Japan, and Chong himself does not have the power to call the passenger table at will, but if you don't know when they arrive at the station, you can't do it, so try to push it back
Lane and the others were attacked - the attackers were stronger than them - the location of the attackers was investigated - the attackers were where they could be asked
"It means that it's not too difficult to guess" Although they don't despise Riene's IQ, it's only been three and a half days since Rie set off, and since the head of the academy can safely hand over the task to Rie alone, it can prove that this matter is not too difficult in his expectations, if it is a group criminal, then he should choose a port, tunnel, hotel, dilapidated house, forest and other places to live, there is no forest and port near Tolista, if it is really the "decisive shot" he expected, Then the well-trained group of criminals should choose to disperse and live in hotels, which is undoubtedly the most likely
(I don't know how long it will take to ask) Chong can only feel helpless about why he accepted this commission, no way, ask it early and solve it yourself
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ dividing line of reasoning
"That," Tova sat a little shy on the bed with her legs together, and the scenery under her skirt was obscured by pantyhose, which made people want to peep "in a room or something"
"It's just you who live, I'm just staying here for the time being, why waste money to open two rooms" Although it sounds like a joke, Chong is a person who has a plan with money, but he can't make a spending plan for anyone other than him
"But it's almost evening now, Mr. Chongtong Chong, do you have a clue?" Tova temporarily changed her words, perhaps because she felt that it was a little rude to call her classmates
"There are a total of 31 rooms in the hotel of Tolista, of which 22 have changed tenants in three days, and the other 9 rooms are all long-term stays, all of them stay in five days, now the midsummer festival of the imperial capital has begun, the train of Tolitista to the imperial capital is only twenty minutes, I asked the innkeeper, the number of guests in these days is inexplicably more than half compared with previous years, after all, no matter which direction you go to the imperial capital, you don't need to stop at this Tolista" After saying a lot of words indifferently, Chong suddenly remembered that maybe Tova didn't understand, so he paused for a while before continuing, "Tolista doesn't have any scenery to watch, and the people who will stay for three days are usually merchants, but the guests in the 9 rooms have been in the room for a long time, and there is no sign of going out at all, President Tova, when did you receive the contact?" β
"Yesterday, last night around eight o'clock," Tova replied hurriedly
"That's right, the guests of these nine rooms left their rooms in batches at about 7 o'clock last night, and then returned to the hotel at about 10 o'clock in the morning" "There is no need to think about anything anymore, this is undoubtedly a major suspicion" but there is one thing worth considering"
"What's the matter?" Tova couldn't help but ask
"Since they're going to be staying here in Tolitista for so long, it proves that they're prepared, not to mention that I don't know the terrain here, and the weapons they might be carrying are a bit of a hassle, and the important thing is how to catch them all" If one person is caught, the others may be brought out in a row, and there are only nine of them may be the best situation, in case some people are hiding in other corners, it will be troublesome
"By the way, I have a way" Tova suddenly thought of something, "Mr. Chong, do you say they will search Xiao An's body?" β
"From a professional point of view, yes," Chong, who has done this kind of business, nodded, generally speaking, it is possible to have nothing to do when the time comes, but from a serious point of view, this is a necessary process to be able to know the identity of the meat ticket in order to make the right choice, and it must be done
"So, if I go to the hotel now and ask about Xiao An's whereabouts, will they think of targeting me?" Tova gritted her teeth and continued
"It's very likely, but I can't guarantee your safety," Chong really doesn't have that confidence, and how do you know I can handle them all? β
"Because I believe in you" Mr. "Since you are willing to agree to help me solve this kind of stupid thing, it proves that you are very gentle, and I will definitely believe you"
"So when the time comes, please come and save me, I will definitely hold back the fear and wait for you!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ the dividing line of the attack
"Then please be sure to keep an eye on me," Tova bowed to the shopkeeper and exited the shop, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it was the perfect time for the residents of Tolista to stay home and listen to the radio, so Tolista's streets were the only petite and lovely girl walking alone in the direction of the hotel
"Sure enough, you still have to call the railway gendarmerie and they come," Tova muttered as she walked forward, "It's really not okay to inform Xiao An's family, after all, it's also one of the four famous families"
"Little girl, I'm sorry, but can you stop" Suddenly a stout giant man sprang out from the side of the road, and to be honest, Tova didn't immediately fall unconscious
"Rumble, rumble!" Tova panicked and casually came up with a nickname
"Rumble Rock? Honestly, I don't quite look like that, do I? The strong man looked at himself carefully and looked at him a little depressed, but he quickly relieved his mood, "You're the one who has been looking for the eldest lady of the Marquis of Rogner, so I can't let you investigate any more, come with me."
"IβI'm not going to give in!" Tova immediately turned around and wanted to leave, but the back road was stopped by two men in black who suddenly appeared
"Don't waste your efforts, if you don't resist, you won't suffer," the strong man grinned, "I still understand the rules, but if my subordinates complain a little, I may turn a blind eye"
"YouβYou're so bold!" Tova clutched her chest and took two steps back
"Hmph, my soul has already been betrayed to the devil, be honest and obedient" The strong man snorted coldly and planned to go up and grab Tova directly
"Stand back!" Suddenly there was a loud shout in the sky
"Yes!" Tova immediately ran to the left hand side of the strong man, a distance that could have been easily grasped by just reaching out, but
Countless golden arrows flashed in the dark night, each one looking dangerously abnormal
"Humph!" The strong man raised his stout right hand in front of him, and it was difficult for the light arrow to penetrate his skin at all, but Chong's expected goal had been achieved, and the two who wanted to capture Tova hurriedly retreated due to the strength of the light arrow, and Tova had already fled to a relatively safe distance
(What else do you say "you can intimidate the enemy with quantity", sure enough, the classical mage is unreliable) Chong took off the "Magic Flash Bow Ring of the Left Index Finger" on the left index finger and threw it to the ground, and the ring that took half a month to make was scrapped like this, so it was said that the profession of magician was too expensive and time-consuming
"The kid above! Get down! The strong man raised his head and looked at Chong hovering in the air, "Lead the snake out of the hole, it's really bold."
Use the shadow projection to project the wand out of nothingness, come on, I'll see if you can eat the fireballs and thunderbolts
"Not coming down?" The strong man snorted coldly, and then waved his hand
"Ka" from the corner immediately someone threw a huge cannon that was obviously modified, and the strong man just turned around and caught the weight of at least a few dozen catties
"See if it's the bullets that are fast or your cast speed is fast! Enchanter! The brawny man aimed his cannon at Tova
(This guy) seems to be a knowledgeable person, is it really a well-trained army?
"Projection magic. Initiate! Chong aimed his wand directly at the strong man
"When I don't dare shoot?" The strong man immediately turned the cannon around, "Then regret it!" β
Tova closed her eyes as if to welcome death, but the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the glass plate sounded in her ears
"Huh?" When Tova opened her eyes, she saw that a rock wall had been erected in front of her
"Preset Spell: Activated!" The defensive magic met the preset spell activation conditions, so Chong directly threw down a fireball with one hand, and at the same time immediately undid Canaina's flying spell, after all, there was more than one person underneath
"Good time!" The strong man met the fireball directly with his left hand, which was not holding the cannon, and the fireball was easily pierced after a shot
(If it weren't for the lack of magic power) the convenient casting of the wand requires a lot of magic to support, if it is a fireball technique full of magic power, it will not burn your arm to charcoal, but even so, the strength of this man's flesh is a little too high, and it is a fireball with a base temperature of more than 800 degrees
"It turned out to be a trap, but it seems that you are the only one" The strong man smiled coldly, "Even with your small body, you dare to fight me?" β
"I'll leave you speechless when I break your hands," Chong posed
"What about the name," the strong man also mentioned the giant cannon when he saw this
"No need to know"
Then you call me Comrade V: "Comrade, do you know King Billy?"
"Go get that little girl!" The strong man gave Chong's expected answer
"Ridiculous, will I let her out as bait without being prepared" Chong pulled out the loot he had picked up from Joasim
"Ancient relics?" Comrade V immediately sensed what this thing was, "Good thing, give it to Comrade S when the time comes!" β
"Hmph" Chong slammed the ground with the bottom of his staff, and then a bronze alchemy puppet slowly emerged from the magic array
"Kill those two guys!" Chong ordered
After slowly moving its body, the "Ka" bronze puppet quickly rushed towards the two people behind Chong, and its speed did not look like an alchemy puppet at all
(The first trial work was really successful) This is the debut that only took two days to rush out.,I didn't expect it to be active.
To let the alchemy masters of the past generations know about this matter, it is estimated that they have to be shocked by this forced qi until the seven orifices bleed, they refer to the ancient books for decades before they dare to make alchemy dolls, and none of them can't make one in a year and a half, Chong can only make one according to the mold after reading the book for less than half a month, and it only took two days, and it is estimated that there is no one in the world who can compare with this
"Boy! Let's take it! "Comrade V didn't choose to shoot the cannon from a distance, but crashed straight into Chong like a chariot, in his mind, he already saw the person in front of him as a classical mage, and the distance would only give Chong time to cast spells, but if he approached, he just had to be careful of the confinement behind him, and once he could catch him, he could easily tear Chong to pieces
There are three kinds of favorite opponents, the first is large and unarmed, the second is fond of hand-to-hand combat, and the third is well-limbed, and the person in front of him has miraculously captured all three, which is simply immortal
βοΌβ Comrade V punched out, but Chong took the opportunity to grab his left arm with both hands
"Flipping" the next moment, Comrade V felt that the world had changed in his eyes
"Boom!" There was a loud bang that Tova, who was hiding behind the rock wall and probing her brain, couldn't help but cover her ears
"How" Comrade V, who was thrown directly to the ground by Chong, is not clear what exactly happened
"You kid has a bit of ability!" Therefore, Comrade V simply didn't want to think about it, and when he lay on the ground, he punched out, and the dark purple fighting spirit vaguely broke through the air
"--" The left palm slapped to avoid the most fierce moment of the fist, and then the right hand wrapped into a fist and hit Comrade V's wrist again, causing his strength to stop
"Rise", so the next moment the world of Comrade V becomes normal again
"So it's so Oriental Tai Chi, it's a pity that I'm not good at learning" Comrade V didn't understand what was going on until now, first unloading his strength to the point where he could counter, and then pushing his strength back to the elbow with his fist, and then using this force as the base point to overturn it while the elbow power was not dissipated, a perfect set of movements, but unfortunately it could only be to the point of throwing him around like a rag
Chong is not particularly proficient in the aspect.,Anything can be ordered.,But it's just that you can order everything.,In other words, there are a lot of bowls for eating.,But it's not very stable.
"If you know this, it's easy to do" Comrade V turned over and got up! I'm going to see if you can throw me to the ground!" β
"It's hard to fall, but it's more than enough to cook you" Chong turned around and left
"What"
"Boom!" The pillar of flame rose from the soles of his feet to the sky, and Comrade V was already roasted before he could even scream
"Preset: Fall at the designated location, Preset Spell: Andades Burial Activated Successfully"
"Chong, isn't this too much?" When Tova saw Chong walking towards her, she hurriedly ran out, "Could it be dead?" β
"It's just that it looks powerful, since it can break the fireball with one punch, it won't be burned," Chong's next sentence was unspoken
"Cough" was a sword qi that came from the front, and after estimating Tova's height, it swept over her head, and the just right distance made Chong have an extra blood mark from his shoulder to his heart
"Tsk, I know that this group of people is not doing well" The man with a messy hairstyle walked slowly with a strange-shaped sword, "Don't blame me for being troublesome, I don't want to be thrown to the ground"
"Stand back," Chongyi stretched out his hand to push Tova, who had not yet understood the situation, behind him
There was the sound of metal falling behind the "knock", well, reinforcements are coming, and there are no more puppets in their hands
"I'm in trouble, and that orangutan shouldn't be left alive," the man yawned as he lifted his sword, while Comrade V, who had already exploded in his veins, grabbed the cannon again and walked slowly and viciously
"Let's kill you right here, so that your whereabouts are not revealed"
