Chapter 9 Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

In a dimly lit room, dozens of figures stood in a circle around the table in the middle, but the scene was silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Dagger, is the news reliable?" After a long time, the man in black at the head spoke and asked.

"The subordinates went to the scene to confirm it in person," there was silence for a while, and a voice replied, "The black hand and the scimitar followed me with me, and it is indeed the traces of the activities of the blood-toothed silver wolf. ”

"No, it's impossible!" Before the man in black could react, the girl beside him said in a panic, "Brother, there are so many elites around him, how can they all be wiped out under the clutches of the blood-toothed silver wolf?" You must be lying to me, aren't you? ”

"The subordinate captured a prisoner during the investigation," said the man who was called the black hand by the dagger, "according to his account, the coalition forces used a soft poison called Dark Night ** on a large scale on the day of the siege, and it is very likely that General Moya will be caught off guard." ”

The man in black at the head is Modi, the leader of the Wing Clan assassins, and the girl next to him is naturally Shela. The day's operation went unusually well, and after nightfall, the Sea Clan soldiers stationed outside the city were killed to pieces, and Modi led the Wing Clan assassins to integrate the remnants of the Wing Clan near Sky City, escorting Xuela to a safe stronghold on the continent of Eswell below. Just as Modi was about to contact Kester's party as planned, he learned from a captured nature elf that the remnants of the Wing Clan, similar to Kester, had been devoured by the Bloodtooth Silver Wolf.

Modi, who knew about this, was so surprised that he immediately sent his most powerful assistant, Dagger, to carefully search the scene, and the above scene was born.

"No, my brother won't die like this, you tell me, it must be fake, right?" As she said this, Shera clutched her chest, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, please pay your respects," as a Wing Clan assassin, the dagger's emotions that have not moved for many years also seem a little sad, "The subordinates found General Moya's sword and Prince Kester's sword at the scene... Wing. ”

"Brother, you must still be alive, aren't you?" said Sheila, sitting on the ground in a slump and muttering, "You wouldn't leave me like this..."

Modi was also very sad, Moya was his only brother in this world, and the only one who knew that he was a Wing Clan assassin and was willing to get close to him, but as a commander, he had to remain calm at this time: "Then it seems that the news is not wrong, Scimitar, the established liaison post can be canceled, you take someone over there to set it up, and give the Six Clans Alliance an illusion that we are cheating." After explaining this, he turned his head and whispered to the grief-stricken Xuela: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you must adjust your body with the Wing Clan's royal secret medicine from today, so that you can officially become the queen of the Wing Clan in seven days, otherwise I am afraid that the army's heart will be unstable." ”

Sheila wiped her tears: "General Modi, can you please let me be alone for a while?" I'm going to calm down. ”

"As you wish, Your Highness Princess." With a wave of his hand, Modi exited the room with a group of Wing Assassins, but when he left, he left the dagger at the door to prevent anything from happening to Shera. It's not that he is reluctant to keep more manpower, but he knows that there will be a lot of things to do next.

"Six clans, six clans! You have caused me to leave my homeland, and you have given me a revenge for killing my father, even my younger brother. Now that we have finally escaped from Heaven, and my brother who you want to kill is a foreign land, I, Sherra, swear in the name of God and Father that I will avenge this with all my life! In the dark, Shera swore a poisonous oath.

Kester had no idea that the news of his death had misled Modi and his party, and he was following the ivory mercenaries in a letter car to the vicinity of their target city.

It was a small mercenary city, and outside the city, the mercenaries escorted the letter car to a stop.

"Commander, the target city has arrived," reported the pathfinder mercenary at the team's outpost, "and there is a toll checkpoint outside the city. ”

"Another checkpoint? Those vampires. Yi Yu'er pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Is it easy for us to run a mission?" ”

"Okay Yu'er, don't talk about it, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth, help me out of the car," Yi Tianlong sighed, "Old rules, Beirut, this time you will escort the letter car into the city to deliver the mission, let's find a hotel outside the city to tidy up first, and you will go to us after you finish the mission." ”

"Yes, Captain." A middle-aged mercenary answered, and drove the letter car alone towards the city gate.

"Will there be an inn outside the city?" Kester asked curiously.

"Generally, there will be no outskirts of the city, after all, there will be some common demonic beasts to harass," Yi Tianlong has been accustomed to Kester's ignorance of the common sense of mercenary life in the past few days, and he patiently explained, "But if there is a paid sentry at the entrance of the city, there will always be some mercenaries or travelers who are financially strapped will choose not to enter the city, after all, the entry fee is not low in cities with paid sentry points." Therefore, there are generally satellite towns in the vicinity of the cities that collect city fees. ”

"What about the safety of the satellite city?" Kester asked again.

"Hmph, those vampires don't care about the safety of the poor," Yi Yu'er said indignantly, "They wish that the satellite city would encounter the Black Tide of the Demon Beast Mountain Range every day, so that more people can hide in the city and pay them protection money." ”

"Yu'er, keep a low profile," a group of soldiers patrolling around the city walked by, Yi Tianlong glanced at them vigilantly, and whispered to Yi Yu'er, who was holding him, "Don't say these things in public." ”

"Got it, father, no, head of the regiment," Yi Yu'er agreed helplessly, but then she whispered, "Nagging like an old man." ”

To the southeast of the city, a satellite city nearly half the size of the main city stood out, and if it weren't for its chaotic architectural arrangement, Kester would have almost thought it was a new town.

Seeing Kester's surprise, Yi Tianlong smiled: "I was also shocked when I first encountered this situation, and later found out that this phenomenon is very common, Yu'er, help me go in that direction, generally the price of the outer area will be cheaper." ”

The group came to an inn, the boss and Yi Tianlong and his party were all people who knew the rules, and it took almost no effort to say anything, Yi Tianlong arranged five rooms for the entire mercenary group at the price of three silver coins a day.

"Ah~ I'm tired," After helping Yi Tianlong into the room and sitting down, Yi Yu'er lay down on the bed in a big character very unvividly, "I want to have a good rest!" It's been a long time since I've taken a shower. ”

Kester also sat down next to Yi Tianlong, and took a cushion and handed it to Yi Tianlong (the three of them had spent the previous few days in the car, so Yi Tianlong arranged Kester and his father and daughter in the same room). Kester, who had done everything, suddenly remembered that this seemed to be something he had only done often when he was with the Winged King Raphael before, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Sit down, you're tired, too." Yi Tianlong looked at Kester's gloomy face, and thought that the fatigue of the road had made the young man tired, "After squeezing the car for so long, my old bones are about to fall apart." As he spoke, Yi Tianlong took out another bottle of red elixir and carefully smeared a piece of demonic beast skin on the bandage on his leg. Kester knew that it was a gold sore medicine made of red sand and alitone, which was highly toxic when wet, and could not maintain its medicinal power for a long time after drying, so it could only be applied to the outside of the bandage when needed, and the powder slowly acted on the affected skin after the bandage absorbed water.

Just as Kester was about to say something, a sudden sharp knock on the door came: "Military business, hurry up and open the door!" ”

Kester has a cleverness in his heart, if the military really wants to do anything at the moment, there is nothing more important than arresting himself and Sheila. Thinking of this, he quickly hid under the cushion behind Yi Tianlong: "Uncle Long, help me cover up, please." ”

Yi Tianlong looked back at Kester, stunned for a moment, and finally took off his coat and covered the cushion behind him along with Kester, and thanks to the windbreaker he wore before, he was able to cover his back tightly. After doing all this, Yi Tianlong motioned for his daughter to open the door.

The military personnel outside the door had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and as soon as the door opened, two big men walked in with no one in their eyes: "We are looking for a fourteen or fifteen-year-old black-haired wing clan boy, your mercenary group should have come from the mercenary city below the sky city, have you seen similar people on the road?" ”

"Wing Boy? Haven't seen it. Yi Tianlong suppressed the doubts in his heart and replied calmly, "Haven't all the Wing Clan been wiped out by the coalition forces, how could they be here?" "In the past few days, the Ivory Mercenary Group has met a bard and learned about what happened in the kingdom of heaven, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him, and Yi Tianlong didn't care.

"Well, if you have any news, remember to tell us, we are in the garrison near the City Lord's Mansion, and if we don't report it, the punishment of the coalition forces can't afford to be punished by a small mercenary group like you!" The big man who walked in front said domineeringly.

Yi Tianlong secretly frowned: "Well, I know, the military's orders are above all else. ”

"What's behind you?" Another big man searched the room, and when he found nothing, he stared at the cushion behind Yi Tianlong.

Hearing this, Kester's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and from the first words of the two military personnel after entering the door, he knew that they were coming to search for him. "What to do? Am I going to be exposed? He didn't believe he wouldn't recognize him.

"Oh, I've got a broken leg, so find a cushion to lean on and get the medicine." Yi Tianlong said naturally.

Fortunately, the two big men didn't seem to plan to find clues in this kind of place, and the big man at the head nodded and went directly to the next hotel, after all, there are so many hotels in the satellite city to check one by one, and the military can't ask all the people, so they can only ask the heads of each mercenary group.

"I was almost desperate at that time, I didn't expect to be able to hide from the world," Kester couldn't help but sigh when he recalled today's thrilling scene many years later, "Father God is above, fate is so impermanent, but this is what makes it fascinating." ”
