Volume 12 The Rise of the Darkwalkers! Chapter 15: The Big Shot (Part II)
Because Manuel likes to start from the big picture, he knows that that person has escaped from the hands of the thieves' guild several times, that is, because he pays too much attention to details and clues, so he is one step short each time, and this time he deliberately enlarged the scope, and also used the negotiation opportunity of the two thieves' guilds extremely covertly, he thought that this was foolproof. [Latest chapter reading.]
He looked coldly at the place where the lights flickered in front of him and the figures swayed on the shore of the icy lake, although the venue for this open-air banquet was very large, but there was a river that surrounded it on all sides, and there were only two bridges that could go out, as long as he looked here, he couldn't get away from anyone, he looked back, there, he arranged a large number of members of the Thieves' Guild, not only to prevent this person from escaping with some cunning means, but more importantly, he was also guarding against any unusual movements of the Thieves' Guild in the Deep.
Each deacon of the Thieves' Guild is in charge of at least five guild branches, and he, who has been in this position for a full ten years, can become a strong contender for the Archdeacon by one more step, and he needs merit, as well as the current Archdeacon Brahms to put himself first before entering the center of power in Sin City.
Therefore, he was particularly attentive to this order given by Brahms himself, and arranged this round-up plan with great care, and at this moment, all the lines had been laid, and only this last step was left to close the net.
"My lord, there are three hundred and twenty-six dignitaries present, fifty more than the banquet invitations we put out before, can we narrow down the scope......" A man in black said cautiously with a parchment roll.
Immanuel didn't speak, just stared coldly at the reflection of the lake in front of him.
The man in black stood for a while, but he didn't get any response, and after a while, he said in a cold sweat: "My subordinates know." ”
In the middle of the room, the priest who called himself "Sam" was praying for blessings, and some noble attendants and servants reached out to touch his robes. And kissed the instep of his foot, and he responded with a wide and courteous response, and a soft white light bloomed on his fingertips, which was even more sacred and solemn. It shows the benevolence and generosity of a high-ranking clergyman.
At this moment, a man hurried to his side and whispered a few words. The eyes of the "Priest Lord" changed for a moment, his eyebrows moved closer to the middle, and finally, he sighed helplessly, and looked at the crowd with pity and forgiveness, and gently stretched out his hand and made a cross on his chest.
Standing in the distance, Luo Lan sensitively noticed the change in the atmosphere, and he glanced at the corner of his eye. I found that many people dressed in black and agile skills poured out all around, and gradually gathered in the middle, all of them looked indifferent, and the fierce momentum contained in the cold light in their eyes could be seen without words.
Gradually, the crowd seemed to feel that something was wrong, and the original quiet and solemn momentum became a little uneasy and riotous.
A man in black stepped out of the crowd. And came to the high platform to stand firm, he first glanced coldly, and then "Qiang" pulled out the sword, and slammed it into the platform, the shaking hilt of the sword and the cold reflection under the light made everyone's attention unconsciously focus here, and some people also showed a frightened look.
The man in black took two steps forward to the edge of the platform, and he put his hand on the hilt of his sword and patted it lightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I just got the news that we have a guild among us that is wanted by the whole continent......"
The audience coaxed and let out one exclamation after another.
"Don't panic, everyone," the man in black's calm voice actually overwhelmed everyone's voices, and he said, "As long as you stand in place and don't have to run around, you will naturally be fine." ”
A very generous old man said unhappily: "What's the matter, is this how the deacon disturbs everyone's interest?" He snorted coldly and said, "In that case." There's no need for us to stay here. He waved his hand. "Let's go." ”
Who knew that he had only walked out a few steps, and the man in black waved his hand. Someone immediately stepped forward to stop him, and the viscount's face changed, and he said, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Viscount," said the man who stopped him, with a look on his face, "I have to ask you to stay here for the time being until we find this person." ”
The viscount looked left and right, suddenly lowered his voice, and said, "I said, who are you looking for, why don't you say hello in advance." ”
The person who blocked him also lowered his voice and said: "President Niels, this is an arrest operation personally arranged by Lord Deacon, as for who I can't disclose, you just need to know that it was a direct order from the headquarters." ”
"Is it the Archdeacon's order?" the viscount nodded, then changed his tone and said, "In this case, no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to cooperate." ”
The man smiled, "It's best if the branch president knows." ”
The viscount did not hesitate, he immediately raised his head and said, "Don't worry, with my guards here, everyone will not be harmed." ”
At this time, the priest suddenly stood up and said loudly: "It seems that this gentleman wants to get the land and escape to the Eastern Continent, what I want to say is that his sins can only be atonemented by himself," he looked around and said very solemnly: "However, the Lord said that anyone can get the land of salvation, as long as you stand up yourself, even if your thoughts are evil, your soul is still pure." ”
It seems that his charisma has not reached his home, and the wanted man they call has not come forward and received the so-called inspiration.
The man in black smiled coldly and said, "Sam sacrifice, you are talking in vain. ”
The priest sighed compassionately and stopped talking.
The man in black looked at everyone in the audience, smiled, and said: "To arrest this important criminal, you need everyone's cooperation, this person is good at camouflage, he is not very old, and his body is similar to me, oh, he often likes to play the role of some civilian subordinates, so if there are suddenly one or two strange servants in your entourage, then you should pay attention." ”
When talking about the sentence that this person is good at camouflage and likes to play civilians, Luo Lan felt that the girl's hands clinging to his arms suddenly stiffened, and then "brushed" and pulled back.
Luo Lan turned his head to look, the girl looked at him with a pale face, her body was trembling like a frightened fawn, and he smiled indifferently.
"It's you......" After seeing Luo Lan's expression, the girl covered her mouth and then took a few steps back. However, due to the panic due to the rapid movement, it hit several people in a row, causing a small commotion.
The man in black turned his head, and two cold rays suddenly shot here.
"It's him. It's him, he's here. Looking at the black-clothed people around her who were gradually leaning towards her, the girl suddenly became extremely frightened, she pointed in the direction of Luo Lan in front of her and shouted: "It's him, it's him, he's here!"
The man in black's eyes flashed cold, and said, "Catch him!"
A dozen men in black moved briskly through the crowd, rushing towards their targets in their eyes.
Luo Lan watched those people run towards him. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a vague smile appeared on his face, and he stood motionless.
However, as if they hadn't seen Luo Lan, these men in black passed by him one by one, and soon came to the girl's face.
The girl looked at Luo Lan in amazement, and then at the men in black. Only then did she realize that, due to the confusion, she was no longer pointing in the same direction, but was facing a thin man.
The man was quickly fenced up, but the crowd receded like a tide.
The man in black jumped off the stage, he walked up to the man, and laughed, "Master Ka, we have finally found you." ”
Luo Lan, who was looking at this on the other side, raised his chin, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
The man took the round hat off his head. Revealing a relaxed and casual young face, he still had a nonchalant smile on the corner of his mouth, and shrugged his shoulders, "I have to say, your method of arresting me is very cumbersome, very dull, very stupid, and the efficiency is really too poor. ”
The Man in Black didn't seem to care about the irony. He said expressionlessly, "Arresting you is just a by-the-road. Honestly, when I got the news that you were here for a banquet. I was still a little surprised, thinking that you should have been exiled to the Western Continent by this time, but I didn't know that you would actually come here. ”
Ka yawned, waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, I've been feeling a little tired after a few days of traveling, I wonder if you have prepared a vehicle for me?"
"All we have for Lord Ka are good carriages," said the man in black with a gloomy smile, "Please come with us, Mr. Ka V Sabrandomon, you are not welcome at the banquet here. ”
"Okay, but please wait a minute," Ka nodded, then turned his face to look at the girl, and said strangely, "Miss, we have never met, how did you recognize me?"
"Ah," the girl was a little overwhelmed at first, and then saw the suspicious gaze of the man in black looking over, she was even more panicked, pointing to the card, and then to herself, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, pointed to a figure in the distance, and said incoherently: "He, he, I ......"
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of her finger.
There was a man with his back to everyone, leisurely holding a wine bottle, pouring mellow smoked fruit wine into a clear glass.
Ka looked at it, and he suddenly sighed and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to take me away." ”
The man in black sneered and said, "Although Lord Ka is quite famous, your personal strength doesn't seem to be very good. ”
"That's right, I'm personally willing to go with you," Ka smiled, then bowed to the figure in front of him, "But with this man here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do so." ”
The man in black said coldly: "Yes, I want to see who dares not to agree!"
"I don't say yes. The man said lightly.
The black-clothed man's pupils shrank, he looked at the person's back, and an extremely solemn look gradually appeared on his face, and said, "Who are you?"
The man turned around slowly, he first glanced at the "Sam" priest, showed a sneering smile, and shook the glass in his hand, the wine in it was bright red in the light, and the clear voice shook people in the silence: "Bishop of the Holy See of Light, President of the Monks, Lord of the City of Beiseren, Lundit V Landiston." ”
