In the lavish reception hall of the Cantran Chamber, Auden sat in a beautiful and comfortable chair with a seemingly ordinary expression, while the corners of his eyes sometimes observed the things and situations around him without leaving a trace.
The soft glow of the magic chandelier hanging overhead illuminated every corner, the blue-and-white walls were adorned with beautiful paintings of the four seasons, and the roaring flames burning at the fireplace warmed the empty and deserted hall, and there was no one except for the two guards standing still at the door and the maid who served beside them.
Although he heard a lot about Derak from Winnie's mouth. Xia Lan's matter, but Auden knew that Winnie actually did not reveal the other party's true identity and secret, and he could understand Winnie's caution, because it is indeed not easy to truly trust someone.
Perhaps he didn't expect that the character who Winnie said could help her would have so much power, and inviting a person to wait in the meeting room of the Cantlan power center alone was not something that an ordinary magnate could do, who was he? Why does he have so much power?
His mind was in a state of confusion, and he suddenly remembered what Winnie had said to him, that perhaps one day they would accept a commission that they could not refuse temptation, and it seemed that Winnie was really not lying.
Mercenaries are nothing more than money and profit.
But Auden thinks more, he not only needs to ensure the financial resources and safety of the lives of these brothers in the mercenary group, but even he has to think about the future of these brothers! Because no one likes to walk on the tip of a knife and lick blood for adventure, one day they will have accidental casualties, and one day they will grow old. At that time. Who will take care of and feed them?
Unconsciously. The creaking of the door to the parlor dispelled the confusion in Oden's mind for a moment, and he stood up and turned towards the door.
He saw a man, a young and handsome young man, a man who made Oden feel creepy and terrified in an instant!
He didn't know how many years he hadn't experienced this kind of fear, and it was actually the seemingly harmless young man who was slowly walking towards him in front of him!
Auden has experienced many wars, and wars are inevitably indispensable! Often people who have killed people will have a special smell on them, the smell of blood!
But the body of the young man in front of him is no longer enough to describe it as bloody!
He seemed to see the endless sea of corpses and bones behind the young man. The crimson of blood soaked his world, as terrifying as a demon descending.
What a powerful aura!
Sobering up and coming back to his senses, Auden instantly realized that he was affected by the deliberately scattered momentum on the other party's body, and his body and mind immediately became extremely vigilant, and there was even a faint hostility in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
The young man ignored Auden, and spoke softly as he sat down in a chair not far in front of him.
His voice was cold, suffocatingly cold.
"In Nizhny Tosle. Oden! Holding his breath and soothing the depression in his heart, Auden said respectfully with a standard knightly courtesy.
"I don't know you." The young man thought for a moment and said.
"Your Excellency, you haven't heard my name, rightly so. For I have never heard of your name! Auden said.
"Tell me, who is my friend Adria who sent you?" The young man asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Your friend confessed. Her name is only known to you. ”
As he spoke, Auden's eyes glanced at the guards and maids not far away.
The young man nodded, stretched out his hand and waved at the guards and maids in the parlor to leave, and said, "Now you can talk about it." ”
"Yes!" Auden nodded, "That friend of yours is called Brancia. Winnie! It was she who asked me to come and visit you secretly! ”
"Is that her? Where is she now? The young man frowned.
"Now she's waiting for your help outside the gates of Cantrantland." Auden Road.
"Isn't she in Eblaunro? Why is she outside the gates of Cantrant now? The young man asked in a deep voice.
"Not long ago Miss Winnie hired us at Ebranro, and asked us to be rushed to Cantrant overnight, and she asked me to tell you that she had something important to explain to you!" Auden Road.
"What's important?" The young man asked.
"I don't know, because Miss Winnie didn't say it, she just asked me to go to the gates of Cantran to pick her up and take her into the city after I met you successfully." Auden Road.
"I see, come with me!"
As the words fell, the young man stood up and walked towards the door of the living room, while Auden was slightly stunned and followed!
After the young man took Auden out of the council hall, a fierce cavalry brigade immediately appeared beside them, and just when Auden was on guard, the young man naturally led this cavalry brigade towards the gate of Cantland!
After the unbridled rampage along the way, the young man led the cavalry brigade soon appeared at the Cantran gate, and it was just a negotiation with the city guards, and the gate that strictly forbade anyone to enter and leave was easily opened, which made Auden behind him astonished!
After stretching out their hands to signal the stunned Auden to lead the way, soon after the group left the city gate, they found Winnie and the others in a caravan camp that was stuck outside the city!
After the young man met Winnie, he didn't talk too much, and he didn't even exchange a word or two, and the elite cavalry brigade took the place of the escort of the mercenary group, and left the camp directly and returned to Cantland, as for Oden, they followed cautiously, without Xialan's order, and the knight team did not drive them away, allowing the other party to follow the team into Cantland.
However, when they entered the Cantalan and arrived at the council hall, the cavalry brigade surrounded them, and the apparent order was to ask them to stay in the barracks for the time being and wait for news, but in the eyes of the mercenaries of Auden and his party, it was more like detention and detention! They did not resist, but obediently chose to obey under the vigilant gaze of the cavalry.
Wrapped in a coat and obediently following behind Xia Lan, Winnie's head was lowered, like a docile cat, but when she and Xia Lan came to a room, as soon as the door closed, Winnie instantly grabbed Xia Lan's clothes and cried excitedly: "Lord Xia Lan! Something happened to Pandelia! ”
Xia Lan broke away from Winnie's tight little hand, sat on the sand with an indifferent expression, looked at Winnie who was wet with tears, he pointed to the sand in front of him and motioned to sit down and said, "Calm down!" Explain the matter of Ebrando and Pandelia in detail slowly! ”
Winnie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sat down on the sand as Charan had instructed, and when the sobbing ceased to be frequent and her excitement gradually subsided, she began to slowly recount the changes in Ebrun Rosheng a few days ago.
Xia Lan was silent for a long time after hearing this, his eyes closed, as if in deep thought, and there was no change in his calm face.
As Winnie waited for Xia Lan's response, her eyes began to carefully observe the movements around her, and suddenly, her eyes widened, and her expression seemed to be incredulously reaching out and pointing in a certain direction of the room!
"She... She... Salala! How did she end up here? ”
Xia Lan frowned and turned her head to look at the shadow of Serala at the door curtain, he beckoned, only to see Serrala move timidly to walk beside him and sit down.
"Hostages of war."
Xia Lanyi explained in a nutshell.
Winnie looked at Serrala who lowered her head in a daze, and then glanced at Xia Lan, who was still pondering, she shook her head lightly, shook off the confused and suspicious thoughts in her mind, and focused on Xia Lan again, and said, "Lord Xia Lan! What exactly do we do now? Do you still have to serve the Earl of Heather in the current situation? Maybe it's not just Pandelia who will be in danger, but even us! ”
"Shut up!"
After coldly scolding Winnie, Xia Lan's face was gloomy and terrifying for a while!
In this regard, Winnie had no choice but to stop speaking and could only wait quietly for his choice!
"Earl Heather can't possibly collude with Overred!"
After a long time, Xia Lan closed her eyes and opened her eyes to come to this conclusion!
"Are you, then, going to continue fighting for Earl Heather and ignore Pandelia, now in prison?" Winnie said with a slight irritation.
"The war will soon be over." Xia Lan said softly.
"When the war is over, I'm afraid that Pandilia will also be miserable!" Winnie said resentfully.
"No, Ofhret doesn't dare! As long as I am not dead, he will not do anything that angers me. Xia Lan snorted coldly.
"The human heart is the most difficult to fathom, how do you know that Ophret will not dare? Maybe he's still looking forward to your wrath! Winnie said angrily.
"There are still three days to go."
At this time, Xia Lan suddenly said inexplicably.
"Three days? What do you mean? Winnie asked.
"Time for the end of the war! When the time comes, we will return to Abramro secretly at once! Xia Lan said calmly.
"Your deal with Count Heather was already over under the sword of Bai Xize, why do you continue to fulfill your deal with him?!" Winnie was puzzled and hateful.
Reaching out and pressing the ugly sword mark on his chest that had healed, Xia Lan suddenly grabbed the clothes on his chest, and his indifferent eyes exuded a cold killing intent!
"I have my principles!"
Winnie, who was affected by the killing intent on Xia Lan's body, shrank down her body full of cold and said, "You want to kill Bai Xize?!" ”
"I just want to give him a sword back."
Releasing the hand that was gripping his shirt, Xia Lan's expression regained and he said calmly.
"You're going to die! Haven't you been clear about the gap between you? Winnie said excitedly.
"I know! But I can't escape the wounds that this sword has given me! Xia Lan said in a low voice.
"It's not like you!" Winnie said.
"A tooth for a tooth! Blood for blood! You just have to be convinced! I'm not going to die! (To be continued......)
