The Behemoth of Axavier Chapter 177: Darkness in the Night
"It's been a long time since Gail's business. Grandpa Monroe's side may have news of Lawrence at any time. I have to get home as soon as possible so I don't get down to business. ”
Ryan had promised Monroe that he would have to return home to his father before he could get revenge. The O'Lane Empire is a long way from Axavier, and it may take a lot of time to make this round trip. So Ryan decided to leave today.
"Originally, I was going to go back this time, but unfortunately this time you have to go home alone. Gael's the way he is, I've got to stay here. Scarking the black-scaled horse's stout, swarthy neck, he said to Ryan.
"Well, Gail's situation is unknown right now, and if something happens, you can help. There is a black-scaled horse, and it is estimated that I will be home in six or seven days, and I will rush back as soon as possible. ”
Neither of them was worried about Joseph and Clay, the half-witted magicians, so they had to stay. Ryan wasn't going to go with the caravan, it would be too slow.
"Oh well. When were you going to go? I had intended to tell His Majesty about it myself. Since I can't go back for the time being, it's up to you to relay it.
I have a letter here, and you give it to Mr. Ace with his address on the envelope, and he will arrange for you to meet His Majesty. ”
Bone took out a letter from the spatial ring and handed it to Ryan.
"Leave early tomorrow morning. Rest assured, this is up to me. By the way, I asked Slade and Natasha to come with us, right? ”
Ryan has gone through a series of very twists and turns in this period of time, and his mentality has also changed a lot.
"I'm not going, you can have a good talk. Tomorrow we have to hurry and drink less. ”
It was the first time since the dramatic duel that the skull had seen him, and Ryan looked so relaxed at the mention of the two.
"Don't train anymore after I'm gone, rest for a few days, relax and relax, your nerves have been too tight lately. You seem like you haven't been to the library in a long time, do you? Go and be quiet, don't wear yourself down before you get revenge. Ryan said with some concern.
Everyone was worried about Gail, but with the exception of Joseph, who was in a bad mood because of the lack of progress, everyone only became more and more silent. However, Chi Bone became extremely impatient, and even almost injured Ryan during a scramble.
"Sorry to worry you. You're right, it's time for me to relax. ”
Chi Gu said apologetically.
In the five days since Gale was in a coma, Chi Gu has been doing crazy strength training every day, except for three hours of sparring with Ryan. Even the time to sleep is reduced by half.
At first, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, although he slept twice as little, he didn't feel tired at all, but the more he practiced, the more energetic he became, and even a little excited. Until yesterday, when he was training with Ryan, Chi Gu unconsciously threw a punch with all his strength.
Fortunately, Ryan reacted faster and dodged the punch in time. Only then did Chi Gu realize that he was out of control, looking at the big hole that was smashed out of the wall, and the back of Chi Gu was completely soaked in cold sweat.
"It's okay, you've just been too nervous lately. Even a real monster can't fight without sleep. ”
Ryan patted Snapbone on the shoulder and comforted.
......
After separating from Ryan, Skeleton arrives alone at the Royal Library. took out the "Dictionary of Common Languages" and "The Language of All Races" from the familiar corner, found a corner where no one was, and looked at it quietly.
It was getting dark, but the streets around the market in the north of the city were still full of people, and they didn't decrease in the slightest. However, behind the prosperity of the northern city, seven or eight carriages took advantage of the night to pour into this slum that seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.
"Chief, what's the guy on the street?" said one of the fraternity thugs.
At this time, all the energetic people in the family are working, and the people who stay are the elderly, children, and women.
Did you see these torches? Light a torch and throw it into the courtyard, and I can see it clearly on the courtyard wall, and if you meet the conditions, you can go in and arrest people. It won't take long to get the job done. The little leader smiled confidently and said.
"Boss, this is too risky, isn't it? If this makes a fuss and recruits the city defense army, we won't be able to eat and walk around!"
When the thug heard this, he was immediately frightened.
"Alas, we can't help it, those crazy people are waiting there, if we can't complete the task, the big leader will definitely not spare us.
Don't worry, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can't make trouble. Besides, there are our brothers at the corner of the street, and it will be fine.
Hurry up, and before the city gates close after 7 o'clock, be sure to send the 'goods' out. ”
The little leader said with a sigh.
......
Somewhere in the North City Market, Princess Xia Duoer, dressed in a white samurai suit, was browsing the endless stream of stalls with great interest.
Compared to the urban area that has not changed for several years, Xia Duoer prefers these new gadgets full of dirt and blood. She was followed by two guards in civilian clothes and two maids, who carried Xia Duoer's "harvest" of the day.
"Your Highness, it's not too early, we should go back. ”
An older guard looked at the sky and said respectfully to Xia Duoer, with a pleading tone in his tone.
"How many times have I told you, call me young master outside! It's really a disappointment, I finally came to the Beicheng Market, let me play for a while!"
Xia Duoer's face, which was still shining just now, suddenly bulged, and she pouted and muttered with a cute little mouth.
The four people behind him were speechless for a while, and said in their hearts: Unless you put on a wide cloak, who can't see it!
"His Royal Highness the Prince won't let you come out today, and if you go back too late, I'm afraid I'll talk about you again. ”
A maid behind him couldn't help but remind.
"Okay, okay, that's a disappointment. Go get the carriage first, and wait for me at the exit over there. I'll go to you right away. ”
Xia Duoer's beautiful eyes rolled and said pretending to be displeased.
"That's not going to work......! Young Master, let's go together. ”
The older guards persuaded again. Wu Jiu Literature
"So be it. Let Baikal follow me, you go and call the carriage, this will be all right, right? No bargaining! That's it! Baikal, let's go!"
After saying this, Shadol immediately squeezed into the crowd again, and Baikal, the other younger guard, hurriedly followed. Only the older guards and two maids were left standing helplessly.
"Well, let's go. ”
The older guard sighed, a little worried for some reason.
......
"Temple...... Master, slow down! Where are you going? We have to go back. ”
Baikal followed closely behind Xia Duoer, and when he saw that Her Royal Highness the princess was going farther and farther, he couldn't help but get a little anxious.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. I've heard that there are some stalls there, and maybe there will be something great! ”
Xia Duoer ran towards the alley leading to another street with an excited face.
"No, no, no, young master, it's not safe in there. Most of the things in those stalls are not coming from the right way, and everyone can go there!"
Baikal's face became worse and worse, and he wanted to stop Shador, but was suddenly stopped by a passing carriage. Seeing that Shador's entry into the alley and vanished, Baikal quickly left the crowd, bypassed the carriage, and rushed in.
......
Pyne hadn't been at work for a few days, and he had looked around the shops. In order to take care of several lonely elderly people in the neighborhood, he had to find a shop closer to his home.
In the past few days, I have not worked in vain, and finally found a few cheap and well-located shops.
He had joy on his face all the way, and planned to go back and discuss with his wife at home which one to choose.
As I walked, I suddenly saw a few men in black throwing torches into a courtyard in front of me, and then sneakily leaned on the wall and looked in.
Despite the darkness and the lack of magic lamps on the street, Pyne recognized it at a glance as the home of an old co-worker who worked with him. At this time, the old worker should not have left work yet, and there should be only one daughter at home.
The Pine Center was a little scared, but he walked over with courage.
Suddenly, the woman's exclamation was heard in the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of a broom hitting the ground. At this time, the figure lying on the wall seemed to be waving to the other two figures below him, and then went directly over the wall into the courtyard.
The other two people under the wall also followed suit, and suddenly the woman in the courtyard shouted a few times and then calmed down again.
Pine didn't think much of it, and quickly ran over.
Bang bang bang!
"Someone!
Pine screams as he bangs against the dilapidated wooden door, hoping to scare away the intruders who have broken into the courtyard.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door is kicked open from the inside, and Pyne is knocked back and rolled out by the pop-open wooden door.
Pine lay on the ground, a little dazed, and touched his wet head. By the light of the moon, he saw blood on his hands.
Pine struggled to get up, but felt dizzy and fell back on his stomach again.
"Damn, I'm so unlucky to come across something that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead. ”
"Kill it, right? I guess it's this chick's man. ”
"No, he doesn't recognize us anyway, wouldn't it be more fun to let him live in pain, hehe. ”
Pyne heard a few voices in a daze, but he couldn't keep his eyes open.
......
Baikal rushed out of the alley and came to another side street behind the Bazaar of the Northern City, where there were few people, but Baikal could not find Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"This gentleman, do you see a young man dressed in white going?"
Baikal was anxious, and after squatting down in front of a stall and throwing down a handful of gold coins that he had casually taken out of his arms, he hurriedly asked.
"I think I'm in that alley. There weren't a handful of people wearing white samurai uniforms, and I would never be mistaken. ”
The middle-aged mercenary who set up the stall had a greedy look in his eyes, thought for a moment, and then pointed in one direction and said.
Baikal hurriedly ran in the direction pointed by the middle-aged mercenary. Running through a long, narrow alley, he came to a somewhat eerie dark back street.
The street had entered the confines of the ghetto, and the surrounding view could only be faintly seen by moonlight.
Baikal suddenly saw a flash of white on a street corner in the distance, and Baikal quickly ran over.
Baikal walked in and saw that it was indeed Princess Shador, and suddenly the heavy stone in his heart finally fell. He just wanted to make a sound, but he was suddenly covered by Xia Duoer, who turned around, with his hand.
Baikal's eyes widened, although he was a little confused, but when he saw that Her Royal Highness the princess shook his head lightly at him with a serious face, he immediately understood what the princess meant.
Baikal nodded, signaling that he understood, and the princess let go of her hand, then pointed in the direction of the corner.
Baikal hid in the corner of the wall in the same way as Shador did, and slowly poked his eyes out, and suddenly his eyes widened again.
I saw that there were three carriages parked not far away, and more than a dozen black-clothed people were scattered around the carriage, and a few people were carrying a few sacks to load into the carriage.
