Chapter Twenty-Three: Instant Counterattack and Ice Hockey
The mercenary guild was on the other side of the city, and it took a little time to walk from here, and although Carlil was wearing a cloak and hood, she still had a little more chance of turning back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It works well, but it's not good for it to be so noticeable right now.
Kahlil couldn't help but feel that it would be wise to settle the matter of the Assassin Guild as soon as she came, otherwise it would be foolish to expose herself to the eyes of the Assassin Guild at this time.
Next to a plaza in the east of the city, the Mercenary Guild is a large house more than twice the size of Icefield City, and many people who negotiate and issue tasks come and go at the door, and it is bustling.
And the cloaked girl and the long-haired Oriental are as dazzling as a hundred-watt light bulb......
"I suddenly felt like it was an unwise choice for us to come in the middle of the day"
The moment they entered the union hall, Karil and Kiyori whispered softly.
The room was noisy, and Qing Xi almost didn't hear what she said.
"It's coming, it's coming"
Seeing the Qing Ritual in two sentences, he swept all the people in the hall.
Because it was noon, the small bar in the hall in front of the union was full of people, and all kinds of food and drinks filled the tables in front of everyone, attracting Karil, who was going to take the task and leave, couldn't help but want to change her plans and sit down for a bite to eat.
"I think I can eat something and then go in, what do you think?" Carlil stopped.
"You can if you want, but it's better to move a little faster, some people here don't have good eyes," Qing Ci whispered.
The huge hall was filled with all kinds of mercenaries, wearing armor and carrying swords, or wearing robes and carrying huge bows and arrows, etc., and some of them could not see their characteristics, all kinds of people were in groups of three or five, and the whole room was full of people and miasma.
"Alright then," Carlil quickly made her way through the crowd to find an empty table and sit down, and quickly ordered something with the waiter who had come over quickly. Then he handed over the menu to Kiyori.
"What did you find?" The two of them ordered something separately, and the waiter put away the menu and left, and Karil leaned forward slightly to ask Qing Ci.
Qing Ci shook his head slightly, "There is no problem, but some people have a bad face and may have bad intentions"
"What a hassle......
Karil pouted disapprovingly.
The food came up quickly, and it was basically a combination of steak, milk, cereal, and bread, and the food in this place was coarse but generous.
The two of them ate while paying attention to their surroundings, and for safety reasons, Caryl didn't take off his hood, and lowered his head to silently cut off the steak meat and put it in his mouth.
The mercenaries were still eating and talking with their companions, some yelling, some silent, and from time to time someone left and came in, as if everything was calm and nothing would happen.
"Hurry up and finish eating, let's go after eating," Qing Xi urged in a low voice.
"Okay"
The two quickly settled their lunch, paid the bill directly with the waiter who came to clean up the table, and collected the change. Stand up and get ready to leave the place.
As soon as Kahlil stood up, she heard footsteps behind her, and then felt a cool breeze blow across her cheeks and neck. Quickly looking back, a stout warrior with a fleshy face almost two heads taller than Kahlil was withdrawing his hand, his hood ripped off, exposing himself to everyone's sight.
"Hah! Wright! I'll just say she's a pretty woman! You lost me three silver coins! The warrior turned back to his companions who were a table away and shouted triumphantly, his thick voice attracting the attention of the mercenaries in the entire hall.
Seeing the three people standing and the hood off Kaliel's head, basically everyone understood what was going on, and everyone began to pay attention to it, as if it was such a good show.
"What do you want to do," Karil frowned.
The warrior was two meters tall, as strong as a bull, with a thick and sturdy armor to protect his body, and two wheel axes hanging from his waist as easily as if he had two ears of rice hanging from his waist.
"Alright, you shouldn't have done this, apologize to the young lady" The warrior turned back to sit at a table of people, two young male magicians in robes, a white-haired girl in a priest's robes, and the handsome ranger sitting in the middle was speaking.
"Hahaha, don't try to excuse your three silver coins! When has Lao Tzu ever looked at a woman! The strong warrior turned to Karil and said, "Oh, beautiful young lady, ditch that useless man behind you and join our squad!" I'm going to protect you from the slightest injury. ”
"Fuck off!" Kahlil glanced at him with disdain.
Qing Xi slowly leaned over, inserted between the two to block each other's line of sight, and said, "This invitation will definitely not be accepted, Your Excellency, do you have any dissatisfaction with me?" ”
The warrior stood up straight, his height was a cut above Qing Ci and he looked very oppressive, and he deliberately raised his head and looked at Qing Ci with a downward squint and contemptuous look.
"I'm going to invite this beautiful young lady! What is your opinion? ”
"I'm sorry, she won't agree, and I won't allow you to do that." Qing Xi replied blandly.
"Fuck off! Stop me from being careful of your own life! Dahan touched the handle of the wheel axe with one hand, and threatened viciously.
To use force!?
The circle of people around them was alert, and Carlil realized that the circle of people sitting at the tables around them had almost the same badge as the warrior and the handsome ranger.
"Enough, don't mess around with me!" The handsome ranger yelled in annoyance, a little ashamed of his men.
"Young master, this is just a skinny waste" The big man sneered disdainfully, "Get out of the way!" Otherwise, I'll kill you here! ”
"Forgive me...... Qing Xi still stood tepidly, blocking in front of him.
"I'll say it one last time! Really, when I dare not do it? Tell you! Even if you kill you here, you won't have any trouble, we are the king in this city! The warrior said in a loud and smug voice.
"Enough!"
"You can try ......"
A shout from the handsome ranger and a faint provocation from Qing Xi sounded at the same time, and the expressions of the warrior and the handsome ranger both changed!
"Since you have to look for death," the warrior was furious! With one hand, he picked up the huge wheel axe and raised it high!
It's too late......
The ranger couldn't bear to turn his head, and the moment he heard the provocation, he knew that his men must have made a move, and he couldn't stop it, afraid that the young man's blow would be broken into pieces of meat.
"Then Lao Tzu will give you a ride!!" The warrior's huge wheel axe smashed his head and face towards the Qing Shrine landslide.
Bump -
A touch of silver, volleyed through the huge wheel axe, extended from Qing Xi's hand, and pierced the wheel axe to the side of the warrior's neck......
The movements of the two froze there instantly, and no one even saw how Qing Xi came out with the sword, and the strange long sword had already pierced the huge axe.
The God of Light is above......
"Drop your sword!!"
After a moment of hesitation, there was a chaotic noise all around, and the people sitting at the tables around them hurriedly stood up, reflexively pulled out their weapons and pointed at Qing Ci and Kaliel, and then the surrounding people looked at each other's long swords against their necks, and suddenly didn't know whether to rush forward or not
Grunt......
As if being poured cool from head to toe by a basin of cold water, the cold sweat of the tall swordsman who was as strong as a bull seeped out, and the opponent's long sword pierced his giant axe, and the tip of this long sword was wide and the sword body was narrow, and the hole pierced could also allow the sword body to have some room to move, so that the other party could nudge it again, and the tip of the sword would cut his neck.
"Do you understand what I said before?" Qing Ci still said tepidly, but this time no one dared to underestimate this thin Oriental.
There was an eerie silence in the scene, as if someone could make everyone fight with a single moment's action.
"Put down your sword, or none of you will want to leave today"
The ranger finally stood up, and things were much more than he expected, although he didn't kill again, but this counterattack made all of them lose face.
At swords' points.
At least twenty or so swords were pointed at Qing Ci and Kahlil in a circle, just waiting for the next move.
"Really......"
Everyone paid attention to Qing Xi, and they were apprehensive about the thunderous blow he had made before, and forgot that there was a beautiful girl behind him.
It just so happens that she is not an ordinary girl at all.
The cold spread from Kaliel's hands, and in a matter of seconds, a layer of frost condensed on the surrounding ground and on the tables and chairs.
"Dare to do it, no one here can leave today, you can do it" Karil squinted at the handsome ranger with a cold face. A huge ice ball on his right hand swirled, making the sound of ice cracking from time to time, and even a few strands of solid frost swirled around it.
"There are more than thirty people gathered around here, and none of them can escape the attack range of the ice ball."
Just like yesterday under the Assassins' Guild, it was another magic that coerced everyone, tying everyone's fate to a thread. It's just that in the narrow underground Karil chose the flames that spread quickly, and in the wide hall this time she chose the swift and large-range ice.
Qing Xi lost no time in gently moving the long sword, and the slight friction made the big man's face blue and white for a while.
No one dared to do it. Everyone was at a stalemate again.
The God of Light is above, how can I meet two such difficult characters at the same time. The handsome ranger thought bitterly, could he just let them go like this, they all made a fuss, and there were so many mercenaries watching, how could he lose face if he let go like this.
"Have you figured it out......"
Kahlil asked, the spinning puck in her hand getting bigger.
"I ......," Ranger struggled to say something.
- "Put it all down!" ”
With a shout, a group of people wearing uniformly cloaked outside the door rushed in, quickly inserting into the crowd, daggers, hidden blades, and short knives were put on everyone's necks in a matter of seconds, and only Kahlil and Qing Ci, the tall warrior, and the handsome ranger were spared.
"I am the local League of Assassins in charge of the Scarlet Red Lotus, and the man and woman are protected by our League of Assassins! Wright, let your people stop, and we'll make sure everyone will be okay. ”
A pleasant female voice came from outside the door, whispering that it was the woman who had walked in with Carlil and Kiyoshi who had bought the book from her in the Assassin Guild yesterday.
