After hearing the hint from the companion who was on guard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Several people in the info cell immediately shut their mouths nervously. Fortunately, several of them are veteran birds who have been in battle for a long time. So while the heart is nervous. But their breathing didn't mean to be short.
And this time. Under the watchful eye of the mercenary who was looking out through the window. Both of them hide their bodies in tight black clothing. A stalker with two cold eyes. It was already in the shadows below the prison. In an instant, a poisonous mist was released. After knocking out the four guards at the door of the cell. Directly put two vials of purple-black elixir. Throw it inside through the iron door outside the cell.
In a flash. With a pungent smell of smoke rushing out of the cell. After that dazzling purple-black glow was over. The two stalkers at the door were gone.
And this time. Those hapless death row inmates in the armor of the Ice Blue Mercenary Regiment. It has completely evaporated from the world. In the midst of the pungent smoke and black-purple flashes. Not to mention the slightest bit of flesh and blood. Even their bones and the like. It's all gone.
This scene of no bones really made several survivors of the Ice Blue Mercenary Group in the dungeon tremble. If only they were skeptical of Ophelia's words. Now the rest of my mind. There is only anger and resentment against the Presbyterian Church.
"This ...... Could it be that Ophelia deliberately deceived us? ”
"You're trying to disturb our minds first. And then put on a special show for us to see. ”
"Isn't that possible?"
"I don't think it's likely. After all, she didn't know what Lord Dermok meant to us in the first place. And secondly. Even after acting. There's no way she's going to gain our loyalty. And most importantly. With the strength of the strong man behind her. The role that a few of us can play in living is not much. ”
"But we can't do it anymore. After all, he is also a fourth-order silver-level powerhouse. If she can take it. Isn't that beneficial? ”
“…… Ay. You may have forgotten. Ophelia's identity. She was only short of available people for the time being. Once she gets back to Moximu......"
"Yes. She's the captain of the Silver Pegasus Legion. And he is also the one who passed the legendary trial of the ancient silver Pegasus. The mighty silver Pegasus in the tavern yesterday was probably the king of Pegasus. If the legend is true. Then as soon as she returns to Moximu. At that time, she will receive the allegiance of the only Knights of the Air in the French Empire. You must know that in the Silver Pegasus Knights, who have been fighting the Orcs of Campas on the front lines of the bloody war. The ordinary members are all professionals above the fourth-order silver level. ”
"Oops. Let's put it this way. She didn't even look at us. ”
"Although it feels a bit lost. But that's how it should be......"
"Nope. You're not right. I admit that Ophelia will be a big man in the future. But only if she can return to the Silver Pegasus Legion garrison in Moximu. Now under the strong obstruction of the Presbyterian Church of the Carmod Family. She needs our combat power in her hands. So I think it's probably a play she deliberately played for us. ”
At this point, after it was roughly certain that the two stalkers had left. The members of the Ice Blue Mercenary Group immediately began to argue. However, when several people were arguing about their own opinions. One of them, the oldest mercenary, suddenly spoke:
"Don't even make any noise."
“……”
Baggins was heard. The rest of the Ice Blue Mercenary Group members in the cell immediately stopped. In fact, in the Ice Blue Mercenary Regiment. Except for the regimental commander Dmok. This old mercenary in his fifties with the strength of the fourth-order silver intermediate is the most authoritative person. And this Baggins. At the same time, he was also one of the first members of the group to follow Dermok.
In addition to him, the shield warrior, there were originally three others. A powerful marksman, a talented stalker, and a sword dancer who was close enough to match Dermok. However, the years are merciless. The original five-man squad turned out to be only Baggins and Dermok. Now. Although the Ice Blue Mercenary Regiment still has six fourth-order silver-level members. But the friends who were together at the beginning. Now Baggins is the only one left......
Do mercenary business. Even if the strength has reached the fourth-order silver level, or the fifth-order gold level. There are not many people who can live longer. Whether it's going out hunting Warcraft or a mercenary mission like this. Which one is not extremely dangerous. Therefore, it is possible to live into the fifties under such circumstances. The strength of this old mercenary is not to be said for the time being. Vision and insight are absolutely first-class.
"Don't guess. The hands-on man is not Ophelia. ”
"Uncle Baggins. How can you be sure. ”
"yes. I think she's the most suspicious. After all, so many of our brothers are ......"
Speaking of which. The expressions of everyone in the cell were dark. And the man realized that he had mentioned something he shouldn't have mentioned. The second half of the sentence is not spoken.
"We mercenaries fight and kill. It's just for wealth, fame and fortune. Since he put on a scene, he wanted to kill someone. There's nothing to say about being killed by others. In fact, I said it wasn't Ophelia. There is conclusive evidence. That's what those two stalkers used. ”
"Hey. . . Could it be that Uncle Baggins knows the strange potion. ”
"yes. When I used to go on adventures with Boss Dmork. I've seen this kind of 'Dark Elixir' priced at 2,000 gold coins a bottle in the Thieves' Guild. A devastating potion that completely annihilates living beings without harming any metal. Besides. I'm afraid there is no other semicolon. ”
"What... The two bottles of purple-black elixir just now were worth 4,000 gold coins. These people have nothing to eat and are fed. You can't spend it like this if you have money. ”
"Yes. Let's go from birth to death. It's only a few hundred gold coins per person. They just threw it around. We've lost a year's worth of gains. ”
"yes. That's because of that. I'm sure it wasn't Ophelia's doing. According to the initial mission intelligence. Ophelia was suppressed by the Council of Elders of the Carmod Family. Not only did he not have any strength under him. Even money is not abundant. The Presbyterian guys, on the other hand, were different. The Karmod family has accumulated over the years. Not to mention that the rich rival the country. But in the case of gold coins. It's true that there is no shortage at all. You can think about it. In this case. Ophelia has too many ways to act out the play. And there is no need to compete with the already scarce gold coins. ”
"I see. It's still Uncle Baggins who is old. So what do we do now. ”
"Wait. According to the situation of the party. The second wave of the presbyterian offensive has begun. And this time. They can no longer blatantly use the power of their families. I'm afraid that it will be us mercenary adventurers and the like. At most, there is a thief's guild......"
……
The facts are largely consistent with Baggins' speculation. Just as the two stalkers burst into the city guard prison. When using the 'Dark Oblivion Elixir' to try to kill Baggins and the others. Batches of professionals with different identities. Wearing an almost identical black hooded cape on the outside. In the darkness of the night, they attacked the tavern called 'Oak Cup' in the city of Moratis.
For a moment, I saw a black shadow flickering in the courtyard of the Oak Cup Tavern. Occasionally, there was a flash of white light from the weapon. Then it was all thrown into the front and back doors of the oak glass tavern.
In fact, it wasn't that the attackers were so polite that they had to go through the front and back doors. Instead, Assam and a group of guards were busy for most of the day. All the windows of the Oak Cup Tavern were closed with solid iron bars. At the same time. On the wall outside the tavern. A dark red vine plant with highly venomous spikes. I don't know when I have climbed the entire exterior wall of the first and second floors.
At first, some of the attackers didn't pay much attention to the dark red plants. However, just as they were climbing upwards with their strength. Those half-finger-long spikes. It can pierce high-quality leather armor. And all the attackers who are wounded to the skin by these spikes. You will feel that the wound is very itchy. I can't help but want to tickle it.
However, this scratch is good. The wound, which was not very big, got bigger and bigger. After a few strokes, it will festering and bleeding. And that itchy sensation. After a few moments of slight relief. Immediately it will multiply as the wound festers. to the end. These wall climbers are not only in great disarray. And it will itch to scratch the wound alive.
And even if some Han Yong people cut off the wound with a knife. To no avail. Until there's an itchy adventurer. After pressing it with a red-hot weapon. Only to discover that the only way to deal with the toxicity of this thing is to use fire. Some people have also thought of burning all these weird vines with fire. But no matter how he lit the fire. This vine just doesn't have it.
Even if the knife chops and the axe chop. The vines that had become knots were still firmly attached to the walls and windows outside the tavern. After multiple failed attempts. In desperation, the attackers chose to rush through the front and back doors into this apparently well-prepared trap......
In fact, there were many powerful mid- and high-level professionals among the attackers. But when those with a third-order black iron are advanced. Or a fourth-order silver junior or intermediate strength guy. When he wanted to rely on his strengthened body to jump directly into the two unsealed windows on the third floor of the top floor. They are often greeted by an incomparably powerful armor-piercing arrow. Or a Dou Qi blade that emitted a cold green light.
Several attempters demonstrated for those who came after them at the cost of serious injuries or death. The rest of the professions, though occasionally, were killed instantly by an armor-piercing arrow as black as ink. But under the lure of high bounties. Attackers continued to emerge from the darkness. Rush towards the first-floor portal of the brightly lit 'Oak Cup' tavern......
At this moment, the oak cup tavern in the dark night is like an evil dragon with its mouth wide open waiting for its prey to come to the door by itself. The tavern, which was not very big, had already devoured the figures of nearly fifty attackers in a row at this moment. Through the swaying shadows cast from the doorway. Those who come later will always think that there is a fierce battle going on inside. And the facts. Is that really the case?
