Volume 11 The Underworld! Chapter 11: The Mind
The clouds buried in the depths of the darkness gradually shrouded the moon like a strange tentacle, but the usual lively night sky of the city looked a little depressed because of the battle last night, and under the *** lit up everywhere, there were deliberately suppressed voices and uneasy looks. A carriage stopped quietly at the corner of the street, and the old magistrate lifted the curtain and stared at the elegant spire of the aristocratic inn, and could not help but think of the madness and absurdity of his youth, the years had worn out his enthusiasm for ordinary things, but it did not hinder his desire for power, and even as he grew older and more senior, this feeling became more and more intense.
What is the power to sustain it? strength and resourcefulness!
He had survived countless bloody storms, and he had made these two things his creed, without exception, and this time he would use them to solve the problem in the same way.
He patted his somewhat sore knees, and a hint of a sly smile overflowed from the corners of his wrinkled eyes, the geographical location of the port of Kilos is not very good in the free city-state, and the types of goods traded daily are not very complete, but it is the most convenient large-scale port with the mainland for sea navigation, and most of the food and daily necessities are traded here, and then diverted to other ports to trade in the East, if you insert a hand here, it is equivalent to being stuck in the throat of the Olevia Peninsula. The benefits are incalculable.
And this mission to find the fragments of Morusu undoubtedly gave him a good opportunity, for which he had been waiting for many years.
At this time, a calm whisper came from outside the carriage: "My lord, everything is ready." ”
The old man tilted his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "How did you arrange it?" In the past few years, he usually only made a rough plan, and let the specific matters be done by the knight of Logurom, whom he trusted the most. Generally, no questions are asked. So far, the latter has done every task well and has never let him down.
But this time it was different, and the opponent was not only smart. And powerful, so he asked more uneasily.
Knight Logulom's face changed slightly, but he quickly disguised it, and replied respectfully: "This time I will arrange the knights on the periphery, and the main force to eradicate the other party will be a mercenary group. ”
"One?" the old man frowned, since the strength of that nobleman was so strong, he didn't think that any mercenary group in the city would be able to carry out this mission. Five or more is about the same.
"Your Excellency......" Knight Logulom glanced left and right. He leaned forward, leaned into the old man's ear and whispered a few words, "They are just used to hide people's eyes, but in fact, there are other people who do it......"
"Oh, it's them?" said the old man, with a solemn face, "how could they be here?"
"Your Excellency, don't worry, they have offended too many strong people on the mainland, and all countries are looking for them, and now only the free city-states are left to settle down, although they have a bad reputation, but their reputation in money transactions is still very good. So far, they have never divulged their employer's location. "The Logurom Knight is as confident as he has ever been on a mission before.
"Hmm. The old man nodded, he knew very well that the little mercenary group was just a shield to cover up what was going to happen, and the real thing was the team composed of wanted criminals from all over the mainland, so that even if the news leaked, he could push things away. Logurom did things to his heart's content. However, the latter was able to contact the notorious mercenary group. It still made him a little surprised, and he couldn't help but look at his face a few more times
Logurom bowed his head.
"Afterwards, whether they succeed or not, they cannot be allowed to stay in the free city-state. The old man said slowly.
"Yes. ”
The old man took off his glasses and wiped them slowly with a silk handkerchief, every time he made this action, it showed that he was falling into deep thought, his energy was not as vigorous as when he was young, but every time before the action, he would think about each step in detail, and only after making sure that there were no flaws, but this time, since the mercenary group had joined, the outcome of the matter was undoubtedly doomed, his hand paused, he didn't think much about it, slowly put on his glasses, and said, "Everything is left to you." ”
Knight Logulom's eyes flickered, and he said, "Don't worry, my lord. ”
At this moment, on the corner of another street, Queen Janice and the Undead Thief Blade were walking unhurriedly.
Before the upcoming storm, Luo Lan arranged for Blade to be responsible for protecting the safety of Janice Land, and found a place to hide in the house to avoid the spread of unexpected situations.
The situation went more smoothly than expected, and no one came to embarrass them, because in every respect, they were insignificant little people, especially for those who had lived in the free city-states for a long time, and the servant was equivalent to a slave, but a tool that could walk and talk, and did not need to spend much effort on them.
From the old Adjudicator to the Knight of Logulom, they didn't think that Luo Lan would be held back for the safety of a certain squire, so when the surveillance eye found out that Janice and the others had blatantly left, they lacked even the least interest.
Janice, who was originally a little nervous, was deeply lost when her fear subsided, especially when she saw a spy disguised as a trader look at her and turn her head listlessly, she felt like her proud heart had been slashed by a sword.
For a long time, when Luo Lan was away, Lemon was responsible for handling all the big and small affairs, and the latter was indeed smart and capable, this young man, who even looked a little shy, became more and more capable and decisive under Luo Lan's deliberate support, and has faintly shown the ability to stand alone.
In this situation, what comes to mind is the deep threat and pressure that Lemon brings to her.
Why is it that as a disciple of the mentor, Lemon can gain more trust, but he is ignored alone, just because he is his own senior brother?
She clenched her fists tightly, trying her best to please her mentor, hoping to get even a little attention, it would be an opportunity to show her ability, but whenever she wanted to speak, as soon as she touched Luo Lan's deep eyes, the powerful oppressive force that was invisibly generated made her courage disappear.
No, I must do something to prove myself!
Janice secretly gritted her teeth, she wanted to prove to her mentor that her wisdom and abilities were not below Lemon, and even surpassed.
Right now, there is a great opportunity waiting for you.
She bit her lower lip and suddenly stopped, Huo Ran turned around and said, "Blade." ”
The undead thief was expressionless, and if it weren't for a few pieces of bandages that covered his body and fluttered in the wind, he would almost have thought he was just a standing corpse.
"I, I want you to do something for me," Janice said, clasping her hands to her chest and cautiously.
Blade's head moved, and he looked at Janice, but he didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh my God," Janice slapped her smooth forehead, and with a hint of sly glint in her eyes, she sighed, "I must be crazy that I actually consulted with a thoughtless undead." ”
The green light in the blade's eyes jumped violently, and a hoarse and indifferent voice came out: "Miss, although I am an undead, I am not a puppet. ”
Janice smiled secretly, showing a look of surprise, she held her hands in front of her chest, took a few steps forward, and said, "I have a plan, but I need your cooperation." ”
"It wasn't the host's arrangement. Blade said coldly.
Janice took another step forward, the two of them got closer, and she said eagerly, "You don't understand, so we can help the mentor ......"
Blade shook his head and said, "The master can handle everything by himself. ”
"Oh, but, this was originally the master's order. Janice stretched out her hands, spread her palms, and said, "Look." ”
Blade was slightly stunned, and he looked there suspiciously......
"Bang!"
"Poof!"
She leaned against the wall with a pale face, she looked straight and fell to the ground with a hint of apology, the weakness of the undead thief is in the head, only need to hit the key part, can make them fall into a temporary vertigo, but where this part is, what the technique should be She didn't know, so she took advantage of the opportunity to talk to Lemon dozens of times, and after gradual testing, the bits and pieces of information obtained each time were combined and deduced by herself, and finally got this clue, but she didn't expect to succeed after only one experiment.
She walked to Blade's side and squatted down, sighed softly, and said, "You know, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the mentor will abandon me......" A few crystal tears flowed out of Meimu's eyes and fell down, she laughed a little, tried to wipe away the tears, and said: "What are you talking about, you undead will never understand......" She hurriedly pulled out the dagger from Blade's waist, and then tied it to her leg with the strip of cloth that she had prepared, and ran back along the same path.
Soon after she left, the blade slowly sat up from the ground, he looked up at the lonely moonlight, although there were only two green fires in his eyes, but the rhythm and rhythm of the leap seemed to reflect his inner activity no less than that of a human, and he stretched out his withered hand and touched his shriveled cheek.
What he touched was a drop of warmth. The woman's name is Janice, Khan, with a clerical error. Climb ^ book ^ net, this chapter is first published by "".
