It was getting lighter. Tony's eyes darkened, staring at the old pocket watch in his hand. When the hour hand finally moved to the position he had been waiting for, he immediately knocked on the window of the night room.

Chi Gu let out a long breath and closed the "Lingua Franca" in front of him. Standing up, he moved his body that was not stiff.

"It's been a long time since I've been so calm to read a book, but I didn't expect to read it all night. ”

Chi Gu smiled slightly, feeling as if he had really calmed down. But he was a little strange that he stayed up all night and was still in good spirits. Even if he was as energetic as before, he couldn't do this without feeling a trace of exhaustion.

"You're here!"

Chi Gu really wanted to go to breakfast, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting to him.

Grassbone looked back and saw that it was Clayte, and behind him was Tony from the Legation.

"This is the library, whisper Kleette. ”

It's a little strange how Clay brought Tony here.

"General Vic has an urgent matter for you, you didn't go back to the courtyard last night, but I waited outside the academy until now to come in. ”

Before Clay could speak, Tony was already out of breath.

Due to Joseph's relationship with Kassel, Tony has been to Joseph's alchemy several times. It's just that after the night guard went to find the bones a few times, he said that he wouldn't help Tony find someone again.

The Imperial College is so big, it takes an hour to go back and forth, to say the least. Whoever runs twice in vain doesn't want to move.

As soon as 6 a.m. arrived, outsiders were allowed to enter. Tony then went straight to Joseph's alchemy room.

"I've found someone, you can talk, I have to go back to take care of Gail. Here's for you, I think you'll use it. ”

Clayte's eyes were still a little unnatural when he looked at the bones, so he hurriedly said hello, and after putting "Bone One" in front of the bones, he turned around and hurried back.

Grassbone looked at the back of Clayter leaving, he could see that the other party was not in the right state, but he only thought that he was worried about Gail.

"What the hell is going on? Chi Bone couldn't help but ask Tony, who was obviously a little impatient.

"I don't know, but it's a serious matter. It seems that a young man named Pine is here, and it seems that something must have happened in his house. ”

Tony scratched his head and replied with some uncertainty.

Chi Gu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go to the legation." ”

Chi Gu only knows one Pine, this young man always has some inferiority complex because of his identity, he can take the initiative to find himself, something must have happened.

......

In the legation, Azevir's brow furrowed, and his face grim listened to Pyne's cries and Kylar's speculation.

"Mr. Crulet, please help me, please. ”

Pyne's eyes were full of longing and helplessness, and he could feel that his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

"Don't worry, I'll bring your wife back safely. ”

Grassbone knew that his commitment was the only thing that could sustain him now.

"I'll go with you!"

Kaylar and Vic said at the same time. The two glanced at each other, and both saw a look of approval in each other's eyes.

"You two can't go. Chi Gu shook his head and said.

"We can't be entirely sure that these people must have left the city. There will be a lot of missed places in the city's search last night, so let's send someone to look for it in the city.

Brother Vic stayed in the city and inquired about the news from the city defense army.

As for Kailar, there are more than twice as many guards at the gates of the city now, and it is even more dangerous for you to appear now. Chi Bone continued.

"General Vic should be in the city, but you don't have to worry about me.

Last night, the whole city was searched, and I even heard that several teams of people went out of the city. To be able to open the city gates after seven o'clock can only be done by hand of the royal family. If it was just for a few civilians, the city guards would not have made such a big move.

If it was really the Brotherhood, I am afraid that the Abrasal brothers are now trembling in some secret lair, and they will never dare to come out at this time. Even if they found me, they would never dare to send people out of the city to arrest me openly. Kaylar gave his reasons.

"I've been learning how to stealth and probe since I came to Orion, and I'm a bit better at that. Besides, Pyne saved my life, and I must help him get his wife back. Kaylal continued, with a firm and confident attitude.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement, and then said no more. After adjutant Vic had said a few more words to the two, the two went to the backyard and rode on the black-scaled horses, and walked towards the city gate.

Sure enough, it went surprisingly smoothly out of town. There were city guards everywhere inside and outside the city gates, and a two-person team like them had no one to take care of. But as soon as they encountered a carriage, regardless of whether it was a carriage or a convoy, a group of guards immediately surrounded them.

"What are you worried about?" asked Cheekbones when he saw that Kellar seemed to have something on his mind.

"I'm worried I'm wrong. That place last night though had clues left by the Brotherhood and the desert people.

But in my many years of experience, it's not that other people are fighting with them, it's that the two of them are fighting.

I never understood why they were fighting?" replied Kellal. v5

"Maybe it's the uneven distribution of the spoils, the desert people are madmen and beasts. What can't they do?" Skeleton said with a shrug, reminding him of the group of desert bandits he had encountered.

"Perhaps. By the way, we will definitely offend the desert people in this operation, so it's better not to reveal your identity. Cover your face, and remove your braids at this end. ”

Kaylar looked at the braids of the chruel and suggested.

"I do have a mask to work with, but my hair ......"

Chi Gu touched the braids on his head, and he also knew that the braids were very recognizable, and they were not suitable for his current identity.

It's just that this is the traditional hairstyle of his tribe, and whenever he looks in the mirror, he can recall some of the past events experienced in the tribe.

"Okay, help me untie it. Eventually, he nodded in agreement.

This hairstyle is still too conspicuous, and not only for this purpose, but there may be many actions that require hiding your identity in the future. This maverick look will cause trouble for yourself and your friends.

The Bone wrapped the copper ornament removed from the braid in soft animal skin, put it in the spatial ring, and took out the bone mask and put it on his face.

"You won't look recognizable that way, and although you have strange black eyes, no one should notice if you don't look closely. ”

Kiral nodded as he looked at the long hair that hung halfway down his shoulders.

In fact, it is completely possible to conjure a helmet and mask with "bone one". But the bone mask reminded him of the wolf-headed mask his father had given him. This made him involuntarily choose to use it to hide his identity.

"Your mask is a little scary. Hahaha! Makes you look more like a barbarian in the Wild North Plains. Are you sure your hometown isn't in the Wild North Plains?"

Kylar laughed.

Not only is he tall and strong, with pale wheat-colored skin and long black hair, he bears a slight resemblance to the barbarians of some nomadic tribes in the north.

The barbarians used the beast as a tribal totem and tattooed the beast they worshipped, and they also liked to decorate themselves with bone artifacts, including bone masks.

"Definitely not, but I'll check it out there. ”

Chi Gu is sure that his hometown is not in the Wild North Plains. Whether it's in AXavier or the Orion Empire, the Skeleton has seen barbarian mercenaries from the Wild North Plains.

They do look a little like what they are wearing. Maybe he had darker skin than himself, but he was just as tall, he had the same black hair, but his eyes were brown.

But the appearance of the skull was unique in his tribe except for his deceased father. It looks more delicate, and the irrelevance is a little softer. The appearance of the other tribesmen is no different from that of most of the countries of the Eastern Continent.

"How are you going to chase it?" asked Grassbone.

"General Vic has heard from the city guards that three desert caravans have left the out-of-city garrison last night. If they want to go back to the desert, they will pass through the city of Tamuya.

We've got the Black-scaled Horses, and we're sure we'll be able to catch up with them soon. There are quite a few castles and checkpoints on the main road, and I think they will definitely go around it. Rather than guessing that they would go that way, it would be safer to go directly to Tamuya City and wait for them to arrive. Kaylar replied.

"Isn't there any other way to the desert?" asked the Skeleton.

"Yes, but it's dangerous, and it's not suitable for horse-drawn carriages. Kaylar affirmed.

"Okay, then let's go straight to Tamuya City. Bone nodded in agreement.

The two walked quickly for two days and two nights, and all the cities they passed by were under martial law. Not only caravans, but also those on horseback will be strictly interrogated.

Kelar was even more convinced that the desert people would not take the official path, so he decided to try his luck on the side road as well.

"Stop, there was a sound in front of me, and there seemed to be a lot of people. ”

The skull suddenly grabbed the reins.

"Why didn't I hear anything?"

Khalar was stunned for a moment, and listened carefully, but heard nothing but the sound of insects chirping in the sky and the wind blowing through the leaves.

"My hearing is so strong, like that night, I could hear your heartbeat. The sound must have come from that direction, so let's go over and take a look. ”

Chi Bone pointed in one direction.

The two of them rode their horses and ran in the direction of the Bone Finger, and after about a kilometer or so, the Bone made Kellar stop again.

The two tied their horses to a tree and walked over on foot. After walking another few hundred meters, even Kailar could faintly hear the neighing of many horses.

Khalal gave a thumbs up to the skull, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Your ears are too powerful.

The two hid on a half-slope, picked up the weeds more than half a person high, and saw that about 500 meters down the slope, two groups of people in different clothes were facing each other.

"It looks like a caravan of desert people. ”

It's too far away, if it weren't for the fact that Kailar has half elven blood and excellent eyesight, I'm afraid he really can't see clearly.

The side with a large number of people at the foot of the mountain was a small caravan of about 100 people or more. Judging by the dress, it is the style of the desert people.

"Who are those? They seem to be in the way of the caravan. Kaylar wondered.

"There are two people who seem to be city defenders, and the others can't be seen. ”

Kailar narrowed his eyes, and he always felt that the armor style of two people seemed to have the shadow of the city defense army, but the distance was too far away to be sure.
