Volume 3: The Shadows Chapter 91 Intelligence
There was no unloading action, and Fox landed directly on the ground.
"Bang!"
Under the violent impact, both feet sank into the ground.
At this time, Xes finally breathed a sigh of relief, after leaving Arthur City, with the aura concealment ability of the Ring of Concealment, it was basically impossible for the other party to track him down again.
Just thinking of the 100,000 thalers and a fifth-level magic energy device, his heart twitched slightly.
If he submits a mission in Arthur City, will he still be paid elsewhere?
If he can't, he's losing a lot!
"Whoosh!"
A figure slashed through the air and landed in front of everyone.
It's Highpot.
He looked at Nexus and raised an eyebrow.
"It's okay to escape on your own, right?"
"Don't bother, but there are so many of you, how are you going to leave?"
Fox was genuinely curious.
Hyperton smiled and didn't answer directly.
Then, suddenly, a black light lit up on him, and the light spread outward, enveloping everyone except X.
Under the black light, the space was faintly distorted.
Keston was dumbfounded.
The Duke of Highbolton's deep voice came from within.
"Goodbye, then, Mr. Joker. “
The black light shrank sharply inward, eventually turning into a small dot and vanishing.
Along with them were Duke Highpot and dozens of others.
Teleportation Equipment.
Nexus grinned.
"Damn, I thought they would attract a wave of pursuers to me and make it easier for me to escape!"
With a movement of his ears, he seemed to hear a sound from above the city walls.
Without hesitation, Kerx activated the Ring of Concealment, completely erasing the aura on his body, and then his body turned into an afterimage and headed southeast.
It didn't take long for an obsidian knight to land directly on the ground from the gap in the formation, spreading out in all directions, trying to chase the escapees.
After a while, with a rumbling sound, the secondary gate was directly opened, and groups of soldiers swarmed out.
In fact, in such a short period of time, they had not been given the order to open the city gates at all.
But the protective shield was broken, the wanted criminals escaped, and even the guards suffered heavy casualties. In this case, if you wait slowly for the order from above, I am afraid that you will only wait for the order to put them in a cell for their dereliction of duty.
So it's better to take a gamble, and now open the city gates to search and arrest, maybe there is still a chance to catch them and make up for it.
"Quick, search for anyone nearby!"
In a dense forest with a small area, chaotic spiritual power fluctuations suddenly enveloped the surroundings.
Many of the spiritual powers had swept through a bush and quickly left after finding that there was no breath of life.
In the dirt beneath the bushes, Kerry did not dare to move at all, and lay quietly.
In a hurry just now, he directly blasted a large pit under the bushes and buried himself.
Under the elimination of the aura of the Hidden Ring, it was impossible for the other party's spiritual power to detect him.
Hypotter and they've already left via teleportation, so if Fox is found now, he'll be alone with all his pursuers!
So, Kerr decided to hide in the only forest around for a while to ensure absolute safety.
On the city wall, the Praetorian Guard officer who had previously given the order to transfer the soldiers of the deputy city gate had an ugly face, and kept roaring at the deputy gate guard officer.
"Damn, what the hell is going on, why would they get away so easily!"
"Yes, you sent someone to transfer all the elites who guarded the land. ”
The other party also looked very aggrieved.
What is this called?
"You still dare to talk back! Even if the soldiers defending the city are gone, what about the formation? Why was the protective shield broken all at once? It must be that you have secretly put all the magic energy stones and materials to maintain the protective shield in your pocket!" the Praetorian Guard officer seemed to feel more and more reasonable, and his voice became louder and louder.
"If the above is held accountable, this is all your responsibility!"
Ignoring the other party's pig-liver-like face, the Praetorian Guard officer waved his hand indignantly and turned to leave.
Turning around, the Praetorian Guard's officer's expression instantly calmed down, and he sighed lightly in his heart.
"Lord Duke, this is the only thing I can do, I hope you take care of yourself. ”
·······
Sirius Empire, Imperial Palace.
"I'm underestimating you, Hyperthermon. “
Zachary stood on the high platform of the main hall with a grim expression.
"Besides, there seems to be an imperceptible force interfering with me just now. Zachary's brow furrowed slightly: "Is it the illusion caused by the fact that the power is not fully controlled··········?
·········
The chill that enveloped the land gradually dissipated, and the surging vitality of early spring began to emerge.
City of Getalia, Association of Adventurers.
A thin young man with a short beard and a brown coat and black floppy hat walked in.
He also had a black cane in his hand, well, it should be a cane, although the cane had a strange shape, and it looked like a root.
The young man as a whole looks very ordinary, but he has a gentle temperament and does not look like an adventurer.
It was supposed to be to commission a certain task, and after taking a look, everyone made such a conclusion in their hearts, and then withdrew their eyes.
The young man is naturally Ax, but his appearance has been carefully dressed, not only has his hairstyle changed, but he has even grown a short beard, and his appearance has matured a lot, and the dragon's sigh has promoted the development of his body, he has grown a lot taller, and now he looks like a young man in his early twenties.
There are several staff at the front desk, both men and women, all of whom are very handsome or beautiful, which is pleasing to the eye, after all, it is human nature to love beauty, so the position of the front desk service staff is naturally to choose people with good looks to do.
"Good morning, sir. “
One of them, a beautiful young lady on the left, had a sweet smile on her face when she saw Kers walking towards her.
"Good morning. “
Nexus nodded politely.
"Do you need anything?"
The young lady asked with a smile.
"I need an up-to-date copy of the Empire's intelligence. “
"Wait a minute. The young lady quickly took out three pieces of information from the workbench and looked at Kerks: "According to the level of detail and secrecy, the price of these three pieces of information is two silver thalers, five silver thalers and one gold thalers, which one do you want?"
The currency of the Sirius Empire is converted to one hundred copper thalers equal to one silver thaler, and ten silver thalers are equal to one gold thaler. Generally speaking, if you say Taler directly, you are generally referring to Jintaler.
"Give me the most detailed one. “
Nexus pointed to one Quintaler's piece of information, which was thicker than the other two.
After all, for him, it is not bad for this money, and naturally the more detailed information, the better.
After taking the information, Fox looked directly at it on the spot.
"Baron Polna was caught cheating with Viscount Medson after her marriage······ The town of Saken in the northwest was attacked by a mid-level demonic beast and suffered heavy casualties······· Starfall Adventurer Squad Discovers Ancient Ruins········"
A lot of news like this, Fox glanced at it and then skimmed it, after all, it didn't have much to do with him.
"Dozens of fugitives involved in the assassination of the Iron Blood Emperor and Grand Prince Sean escaped from the blockade of Arthur City, and the Minister of Administration signed a nationwide arrest warrant, demanding the full cooperation of all the Magician Guilds, as well as the local lords and nobles··········"
Nexus froze.
Wanted by the whole empire, hehe, that's funny.
However, as a person who planned to leave the Sky Wolf Empire soon, he didn't have much turmoil in his heart when he saw this news.
The headache is that the people in Hyperton are.
However, for some time, I didn't hear any news of anyone who escaped from Arthur City that day, and there was no other news, and it was as if the group had evaporated.
"His Majesty Zakary invited the nobles to come to discuss important matters, and there is news that the new emperor intends to take back the right to develop the magic energy stone deposits in the hands of the nobles......"
When Nexus saw this news, he sneered in his heart: "Zachary's ambition is really bigger than everyone thinks, has this begun to prepare for the recovery of power." ”
In fact, during the period of the Iron Emperor, Upton Garfiri had already begun to suppress the nobility and concentrate the power of the emperor, but even Upton Garfiri took very soft and careful measures and the results were not good.
After all, the founding emperor, the legendary king Hervin Gafiri, in order to gain the loyalty of his subordinates and maintain the stability of the empire, gave them noble titles and great power, and the deep-rooted situation of more than 2,000 years is not so easy to touch.
And as soon as Zachary ascended the throne, he was about to violate one of the core rights and interests of the great nobles.
“········”
He kept looking at me, and it took a long time to close the information in his hand, and then said with a smile: "I also plan to hire adventurers to escort me to the city of Lun Lingde on the southern border of the empire, I wonder if there is any recommended adventurer team?"
Although he was confident in his own strength, hiring a team of adventurers could help him solve problems such as low-level demonic beasts and thieves, so that he would not have to be delayed by some troublesome trivial matters, and instead spend his time on cultivation.
The young lady groaned.
"Well, there have been a lot of escort assignments lately, and your destination, sir, is far away··········
"There is a squad of adventurers that meets your requirements, and the strength, character, and completion of the mission are guaranteed, but ..... They always ask for a much higher reward than other adventurer squads. ”
"The price doesn't matter, as long as they can show the strength that matches the price. ”
Fox said with a smile, "I wonder where they are now?"
The young lady's eyes flickered, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Look, in the corner behind you to the right, you can talk to them, and when you're sure, you can come to me to take notes and sign an agreement. ”
"Thank you. ”
Nexus nodded, then picked up his black "cane" and walked into the corner behind his right.
