151. The Killing of the Night

Leaving the slave owner Abraham's manor next to the gladiatorial arena in Strange Rock City, he chased him into the street, only at this time there was still the shadow of Angus on the street.

Caterina and I looked at each other, unsure of which way Angus's magic caravan was heading.

Caterina wanted to chase her down the street for a while, but I grabbed her and said, "Forget it, I can't catch up." ”

In the afternoon, under the exposure of the sun, the water vapor steamed rapidly, and there were few pedestrians on the street, looking at it from a distance, the scenery on the flat street was slightly distorted, and the air inhaled into the lungs was hot, and the whole person was like being stuffed in a huge steamer, even if the wind blew, it didn't feel cool at all, and the whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of slimy grease, and it was wet wherever it was touched.

I pulled her into the shade of a tree on the side of the road, and quickly condensed an ice shield around her, and the air around her suddenly became much cooler.

A little later, a magic caravan passed by, and I reached out to stop it.

The coachman took off his hat and asked me, "Your Excellency, where do you want to go?"

I threw the coachman a silver hammer, and the coachman graciously jumped out of the carriage, opened the carriage door with a smile on his face, and graciously invited me and Caterina to board.

"Hollien Lodge. I said to the coachman.

The coachman quickly climbed into the driver's seat, and the carriage turned around the street and ran straight down the central avenue.

"Let's go to the hotel and meet everyone first, there are Knights of the Guard Battalion and the Law Enforcement Corps of the Magic Guild in the city, those slave traders should not openly do anything in the city, they will find a way to lure us out of the city. "I sat in the magic caravan and said to Caterina.

The winter climate of Qiyan City is hot and humid, and wearing tight wurm leather armor will make people even more impenetrable, Caterina can only unbutton the two buttons at the neckline of the leather armor, sitting in the carriage, her face is like a red apple, with beads of sweat on her forehead, constantly fanning herself with a cool breeze, and under the background of the tight leather armor, the neckline reveals a hemispherical outline like mutton fat.

Seeing that my eyes fell on her chest, Caterina glared at me helplessly, and then said:

"Those people don't seem to have caught Moraya and Heidi yet. ”

I tapped my forehead vigorously and said, "I hope they can find them soon." ”

The ruby-like eyes radiated a soft glow, the amber pupils shrank slightly, and Caterina sighed and said, "We can find out the identities of Angus and Jutath first. ”

I nodded, took out a Frost Rune Board from my magic fanny pack, and placed a gem fragment on the gem pedestal of the Rune Board, and the frost mist spread out of the rune board, instantly cooling the compartment.

I tossed and turned all night last night, didn't sleep much, and in the morning I went to the Magic Guild to investigate the specific time when Morayar and Mentor Heidi came to Strange Rock City, and then went to find Nathaniel's guide, and then visited the slave owner Abraham, this day walked down non-stop, this person was a little in a trance.

As the magic caravan slowly swayed, I felt a little tired, so I rested my head on Katarina's round and delicate thighs, which were still very elastic and soft despite being separated by a layer of leather armor.

Caterina put her hands over my eyes to help shield me from the afternoon sun.

I put one hand on her thin waist and closed my eyes to enjoy the rare moment of relaxation, and I said, "Next, plan to catch that Yutasi, if he shows us the way, I believe the rest of the matter should be much smoother." ”

Caterina didn't speak, she sat quietly on the soft leather sofa.

I said, "Yutath must have a way to get in touch with those men in the swamp rainforest, and as long as we catch them in the jungle, it won't be hard to find Moraya and Heidi." ”

"These slave traders in Strange Rock City, who can't hunt lizard slaves in the wild swamps, are so bold that they start to think about attacking the adventure groups in Strange Rock City, aren't they afraid that the Captain of the Ax Legion will liquidate them when he returns to Strange Rock City?" Caterina said angrily.

"Maybe we won't need Captain Aix to come back this time. I said casually.

......

......

I thought that Ying Li would come back later, but I didn't expect that when Katerina and I returned to the Hollien Hotel, the Winning Li Daughters and Sister Anne had already returned to the hotel.

In this hot weather, the pool in the backyard of the Hollien Hotel is a great place to cool off, and from the north-facing balcony on the third floor of the hotel, you can condescendingly see many people gathering around the pool.

With wet hair, fresh from the shower and wearing a loose linen robe, Helena stood behind her, drying her hair with a towel.

Becky and Sue got together, leaning on the balcony, looking at the cool pool below the hotel with some envy, it seemed that they were struggling with whether to run down and swim around, but at this time the pool was crowded with men and women, and it seemed very lively, and the two of them probably felt that there were too many people, so they didn't run down.

Anne also wore a cool long dress, lying on a wicker chair on the balcony with her eyes closed.

I squeezed between Ying Li and Helena, took the towel in Helena's hand, and took the initiative to wipe Ying Li's wet hair, Ying Li tilted his head and smiled sweetly at me.

I asked her, "You came back so early, and you thought that the Marquis de Norman would invite you to dinner, by the way, what did you get out of this trip?"

"The Marquis de Norman was going to invite us to dinner, and I didn't want to attend...... So refused. Ying Li smiled at me and said in a flat tone.

She propped her chair in her hands, raised her head, and said, "The Marquis of Norman promised me that he would let the Knights of the Guard Battalion do their best to help us find Mentor Heidi and Teacher Moraya. ”

Ying Li moved a little to the side so that I could sit more comfortably.

"Well, the Norman Marquis is very welcoming, and he invited us to stay in one of his unused courtyards in Strange Rock City. Ying Li said.

This is a good suggestion, after all, the hotel is mixed and it is not so convenient to do anything, and the Marquis de Norman would be a good choice if he could provide us with a temporary residence.

Ying Li then asked me, "By the way, what did you gain today, how is the Magic Guild there?"

I recounted the events of the day, and the ladies not only looked at each other when they heard this.

Anne listened to our conversation about the slave owners in Strange Rock City, and probably felt that she should get involved, so she also got up from the wicker chair and sat down on her knees, wrapped her long skirt around her long legs, and said to me: "Yutath and Angus are not the biggest slave traders in Strange Rock City, but they are definitely the most ruthless, in order to catch the lizard war slaves, they once slaughtered seventeen lizard tribes in the swamp jungle in a row, and finally provoked the dragon warriors of the lizard royal family, and chased them until outside the strange rock city, and those lizard warriors returned to the jungle. ”

"Do you know where they live?" asked Helena, a little impatiently.

I put my arm around Helena's slender waist and said to her, "It's easy to solve, just find a guide at the door of the inn, and I'm going to visit the slave owner Yutasi tonight." ”

Becky turned back to me and asked, "Shall we bring back Karantso and her orc warriors from the jungle?"

"Don't wait for her, I'll handle this matter myself. I sat on a wicker chair and looked at the setting sun in the west and said slowly.

......

......

Ruka and Justus, the Minotaurs, learned that Katerina and I were back, and came up from the first floor.

The appearance of the minotaur attracted a lot of tourists to watch, probably in the strange rock city here orcs are rare, the minotaur clan will rarely come to the southernmost part of the Grimm Empire, the people here always do not understand the difference between the minotaur and the barbarian, just like we northern people are difficult to distinguish between the lizard people and the snake people.

We were the target of onlookers for a while, and there was no way to discuss these matters on the north balcony of the lobby on the third floor of the hotel.

I could only hide in my room, but the Minotaur Ruka, Justes, Katarina, the three daughters of Winli, Sister Anne and Senior Sister Erica, the room immediately seemed very crowded, and Caterina stood by the window to prevent anyone from eavesdropping outside the window.

Although this room was on the third floor of the Hollien Hotel, who knows if there had been an Assassin hanging upside down like a bat under the outside cornice.

Justus stood guard at the door, his slender body leaning against the doorframe, just in time to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on the door.

Ruka, the Minotaur, looked like a huge mountain of meat even when he sat on the floor of the room, and the rest of the people were huddled on the edge of the bed.

I sat down in the only chair in the room and said to everyone:

"This time our main purpose is to catch the brothers Angus and Yutasi, and then take them out of the city overnight to join Karantso, and then go to the swamp jungle to find Mentor Heidi and Moraya, if everything goes well, maybe we will stay in the swamp rainforest for a week or two, so everyone should be prepared before the trip, the living materials are supplied by my side, the environment in the swamp rainforest is difficult, bring a few more pairs of leather boots, long clothes and trousers and other clothes, many newcomers to the adventurers are probably unable to endure the muddy swamp, in just three or two days, their feet will be soaked in the swamp and fester。 ”

"This time, I also brought a large number of magic herbs such as swift grass, Ditan, and sage, and in case of various emergencies, I need Senior Sister Erica to prepare antidote potions, so Senior Sister Erica's tools for preparing magic potions must be prepared. ”

"I was looking for a local guide, but now it seems that the slave traders are not trustworthy, so it is cheaper to go into the swamp rainforest. ”

Anne, hearing that I was only talking about settling the Angus and Juttas brothers, and making some necessary preparations for a short trip to the swampy rainforest, twisted her eyebrows slightly, and could not help but say to me:

"The two brothers, Angus and Yutasi, have been working hard in Strange Rock City for several years, they are usually ruthless and cruel, and they have far more enemies than friends in Strange Rock City, and they are still alive and well, which is enough to show that they have a force to be reckoned with, and this force can at least slaughter the lizard tribe on the edge of the swamp rainforest, and we should think about it alone. ”

Hearing Anne say this, Ying Li also felt that since we were in Strange Rock City, it seemed that we didn't need such a risk, and that we could completely solve this matter through the official forces of Strange Rock City, so he proposed to me:

"Gigga, should we explain this matter to the Norman Marquis, and ask him to send the Knights of the Guard Battalion in Strange Rock City to capture Angus and Yutath. ”

God knows how many of those slave traders' eyeliner are in the Knights of the Guard Camp in Strange Rock City.

So I waved my hand and said, "I can't wait, and I'm afraid that as soon as I tell the Marquis de Norman about this, the brothers Angus and Utas will get the word as soon as they do, and they just need to hide in the swampy rainforest, and with their familiarity with this rainforest, we may find it difficult to catch them again, so we will do this ourselves." ”

Anne looked around at the ladies in the room, and then at Sue with an excited face, but still mustered up the courage to ask me, "With us people, will we not have enough strength?"

In her opinion, the strongest strength in the room is naturally Katarina, Ruka and Justus, and we have to break into the manor of Angus and Yutath at night, even if these three can kill the guards in the manor, but it is a little unrealistic to catch the cunning Utas and the timid Angus.

Sula pulled her sister and whispered to her, "Of course it's not just us, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Seeing that everyone was also full of confidence, although Anne looked suspicious, she didn't say anything more.

......

......

The night in Strange Rock City is full of stars.

People here like to walk around the streets after nightfall, and along the way, they see that there are many night markets on the streets of Qiyan City, and there are many people gathered in the night markets, and the noisy scene and the depression during the day have become the most stark contrast in this city.

However, there is no such night market on the eastern side of Xiangshe Street, and the manor of the brothers Angus and Yutasi in Qiyan City is located at No. 5 Xiangshe Street, which belongs to the southern area of Qiyan City, close to the small city gate in the southwest corner of Qiyan City.

In my opinion, the Angus Yutasi brothers chose to live here, probably because of the geographical advantage of this place, in the event of an accident, as long as they pass through the city gate, they can hide in the rainforest outside the strange rock city.

Across from me and Justes sat a young guide from Strange Rock City, who looked a little young, and Caterina sat beside him, making him look a little reserved, his hands on his knees, his body straight, not even daring to move, but his eyes were staring earnestly at the night view outside the window.

After passing through a dark stretch of road, the street lamps in front of him seemed to glow softly, and he struggled to adapt to his surroundings, and his eyes fell on a gilded gate, and he said to me with great certainty: "Your Excellency, the manor of the Angus slave master has arrived. ”

The magic caravan slowly stopped on the side of the street, and in the distance was the tall walls of Strange Rock City, hidden in the shadows, now only gray in the darkness of night.

The closer you get to the edge of the city, the fewer pedestrians become, and when you reach the solemn side of the Angus Juttas brothers, there are hardly any people on the streets.

The house is made of bluestone stone and is built into a wall more than five meters high, with arrow towers built at all four corners of the wall and on both sides of the gate, and a magic lamp is lit every twenty meters on the top of the wall......

The others were in the magic caravan behind, and the ladies were to be under the command of Ying Li to cover the perimeter of the Angus Yutath brothers' estate with frost rune plates.

I paid the coachman and the young guide two silver coins each, and after sending them away, I took Katarina, Ruka the Minotaur and Justus to a very remote alley, where Justus and Ruca the Minotaur set up a simple tent, I went into the tent and opened the portal door, and then a barbarian slave warrior in black armor with a heavy crossbow on his back lined up and quietly walked out of the portal.
