Chapter 2: Night Talk
On the night that Lane couldn't sleep, a major incident occurred in the Erebonian Empire, far west of the continent. Several branches of the guerrilla association were attacked, the night sky was lit up by firelight, and countless eyes were watching the incident, calculating the gains and losses, and preparing the next plan.
Arut Street, west of Heimdall, the crimson imperial capital, where the Imperial Capital Guerrilla Association is located, was of course attacked in an extremely bad form, and an extremely dangerous and fierce battle took place in an alley very close to the branch. Yes, it was a fight, the two people who were fighting did not leave their hands, bound and strangled, steel wires scattered, lightning and stone fire, roaring of the gods, serpentine black blades, sharp fangs, purple long swords, and the edge was pressing.
"Hehehehe, it's worthy of being called 'Purple Electricity' Lord Sarah, the youngest A-level guerrilla, it's really amazing." A young woman with short purple hair and a tightsuit with a tightrope in her hands undiminished smile, not caring about the bullet wounds in her abdomen.
"The high-level spy of the association 'Devouring Snake', the executor NO. IX's 'dead line' Kruger is really an opponent who is not easy to deal with. There was a flash of electric light on the fuchsia gun, and there were already several blood marks on the body of the young woman with a hot body, still holding the gun in one hand and the sword in the other, and the bullet was fired, "Now get out of the way from there, I don't have time to entangle with you." ”
"That's not going to work, if you let Sarah come over, it's going to be a lot of trouble over there." The steel wire flies out, blocking the way like a grid, the dead line is dead, and the steel wire that brings death.
"Oh, if there is a fight, if there are no reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before the guerrilla guild is destroyed, but it is just a house that is damaged." Red-haired, lazy youth, standing on the roof in the distance, complaining nonchalantly while observing with a telescope.
"Your Excellency needs this to happen, please be serious, Rektor." The blue-haired cold girl on the side stared at the red-haired young man, calculating all the variables that might occur.
"Yes, yes, it's a real problem, is it enough for you alone, Clea." Rector was insincere, but Claire beside him was also accustomed to it and didn't say anything.
In the distance, there was no fire or conflict, but there were two people smiling in different places, one with long hair and a shawl, exuding an amazing sense of oppression, and the smile was far-reaching. The other had neatly combed his short hair, and his smile was printed on the shiny lenses of his glasses, like a poisonous snake.
After rescuing the two bear children from the Emerald Tower, the two of them finished their day's work, submitted their reports, and returned home with the joy of completing the assessment and the first mission. Xiao Ai excitedly showed off Lao Ka, not surprisingly, Lao Ka already knew, after all, it was his child's first mission, and he had been silently following behind him, while Joshua and Lixia were still unaware. For this plot, Li En can't remember it very clearly, this was originally a scene where Xiao Ai was attacked by a monster, and Lao Ka was handsome to save the scene, but there were more Li and Lixia, and the monster was completely swept away before the attack was launched.
Here's an additional explanation, at present, everyone's conductor has only opened one hole, not that Li En has no chip, but that the conductor and the owner need a period of running-in, and the more handy they are, the more holes can be opened, otherwise the difficulty of driving will increase, which is also the suggestion given by the workshop manager, and a few people who have not used the conductor have no objection to obey.
After enjoying the chicken omelet rice that Estile played seriously, Lao Ka announced the news that he was going to the empire tomorrow. And Li En is absent-minded and worried, it seems that Wiseman has already started to act in the empire, whether to tell Lao Ka about the information he knows, if he doesn't go, will it be true there, and if he goes, will there be any changes, alas, it's really a headache.
Late at night, the "big brother" couldn't sleep at all, not only Joshua and Cassius, but also Rien, a person who was obviously in the wrong condition after the meal, and even the heartless Estiel found out and asked him if he was too tired today.
"Is it you after Joshua? From hearing me say that you were going to the Empire, you were absent-minded all night, and finally ready to say something to me? Cassius poured himself a drink, seemingly a little drunk, but in fact very sober.
"I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that I still had to tell you what I knew, how to judge, and I would leave it to you, an S-class guerrilla." Lane let out a breath, as if he had let go of some baggage.
"It seems that you are serious, although I have always felt that you are hiding some big secret, well, let's say, let me, the senior brother of life and martial arts, show you the way, are you going to make a move on Lixia?" The old card is obviously gag, and there is an active and somewhat depressing atmosphere.
"Let's get down to business, senior brother, the letter should be written about the fact that the branches of associations across the empire were attacked by chasseurs." Ignoring Lao Ka's surprise, Li En continued, "As far as I know, this is a conspiracy aimed at you and Liber, I don't know the detailed information, but your presence obviously makes a certain force that wants to steal something from Liber very vigilant and wants to lure you away. I'm worried about two things, if you go to the Empire and not say what the enemy hiding in the shadows will do against you, and even whether the Imperial military will attack you because of the Hundred Days War; If you don't go, I'm afraid that the enemy will make any more tricks, and no one will know what will happen to the entire empire and Liber at that time. ”
"I didn't expect you to think so deeply, it seems that you are not as simple as the son of a remote nobleman you said in the empire." Lao Ka was completely drunk, and his eyes were like electricity, "Then you thought about it for half the night, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
"There are only 4 S-class guerrillas, and they are very transcendent in terms of strength and influence, how about letting one of the other three S-class go?" The only thing Li En can think of is this trick, everyone is S-level, there is no reason why anyone is much worse than whom, isn't it.
"That's a good way, but Lane, as far as I can get the information, three people other than me, except for the one at the headquarters, the other two are involved in a more troublesome matter, and the other person's whereabouts are unknown, so there can't be no one in the headquarters." Lao Ka said a lot of inside information, and it seems that Wiseman, the poisonous snake, was really well chosen.
"Damn, that's why you're making trouble at this time!" Li En smashed his fist on his leg, and suddenly thought of something, "If you don't let the second senior brother go, the second senior brother will understand the reason after the New Year, and if you really fight, you may not be able to take advantage of much." ”
"In terms of strength, he is not much worse than me, but the level is B, which is not enough, but your suggestion is also very good, I will contact him and the Crossbell branch, the two sword saints, enough for the enemy to drink a pot." Cassius's eyes lit up and he raised his wine glass, "Come, let's go one." ”
"Don't lure minors into drinking, forget it, there is a drunkard master, and I've long been used to it." When Li En heard that the two senior brothers had joined forces to go to the empire, he made up his mind, and he also poured a glass, toasted, and drank it all.
"Since I left here according to the enemy's wishes, then my daughter has to trouble you more, and I am not worried about her, Joshua or you, everything is reassuring, only that fool." Cassius is a father after all, how to reassure the daughter of a single cell.
"Senior brother, don't worry, Estelle is not as fragile as you think, she will surprise you when you come back." Li En smiled confidently, "And, although I am a year younger than her, I am still her little uncle, and I will not sit idly by." ”
"Then I'll be able to relax a bit." Cassius regained his slightly drunken appearance and waved his hand. Li En turned around and went out, a slightly hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the scales of the devouring snake, let me see it!
"You've been hiding there for a long time, and now you're not worried?" Cassius shook his glass and smiled at the shadow outside the window.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just, it's just" A weak girl jumped in from the window, bowing and apologizing, not who else could Lixia have.
"The young and hazy love affair of the boy and the girl, I miss it so much, I just don't know my stupid children, hehe." Cassius's eyes gradually drifted away, "The fate of people is really wonderful, whether it is Joshua or you, should you say that you are worthy of being my junior brother, the same as me." Cherish the people around you, don't be like me, you can only miss it alone. ”
"Well, it's great to be able to meet the sunshine of life, and Estelle will definitely be aware of her feelings." Lixia looked in the direction of Rien's departure, her smile soft and sweet.
"Yes, then I'll rest assured, Lena, I'm also a greedy person, I used to want to see my daughter get married, now I want to see my grandson born, maybe I want to see my grandson get married later, at least let me witness it for you with these eyes." Cassius's eyes were blurred, and he was completely immersed in his own world, for a long, long time, until Lixia left.
