Chapter 369: Appointment
Seeing the greetings of these cavalrymen who came over, Zhao Xu only snorted slightly in a nasal voice in response, and didn't say anything more, and drove directly into the burning mansion.
Although the whole town broke out at this time, the streets were quietly and eerily quiet, and often one or two windows were quietly opened, and after a sneaky glance, they were immediately closed.
Directly and clearly divided into two worlds.
Or rather, the inhabitants of the town have become accustomed to this "special" treatment.
After a few steps, Zhao Xu immediately approached the auction house that was already surrounded by flames, but to his surprise, dozens of large wooden boxes were neatly stacked in the open space on the side, which were being packed in batches, ready to be loaded on the carriage on the side.
In the field, there were no more people fleeing from the fire with disgraced faces, only the hurried cavalry, who waved their sharp swords in their hands and drove the people to labor.
Zhao Xu didn't expect the whole process to be so fast.
Before the auction could even organize the slightest effective counterattack, the entire nest was directly emptied and packed.
"I can't imagine that these residents are so afraid of that ghost thing, and it just so happens that it saves us the effort to block the surrounding situation." At this time, an older man walked up to Zhao Xu and said.
His appearance was similar to Zhao Xu's "changed" appearance at the moment, but he was older, and he was accompanied by two or three mages.
Everything goes without saying that the other party is the brother of the young man in Washington, and the like, I am afraid that he is also the mastermind behind the seizure.
"That's right." Zhao Xu couldn't guess how the two got along with each other, but from the fact that this middle-aged man was able to speak first from afar, he barely judged that it would not be too bad, and there should be no such bullshit as fighting for inheritance.
"Hmph, that lucky man, just picking up the 'treasure' left by that immortal, made the entire floating city throw a mouse trap and dare not move. In my opinion, it's really pedantic. The man in his prime said contemptuously.
At this time, the butler who followed them hurriedly spoke, "Young Master, you still need to be cautious. ”
As he spoke, the butler looked around for a while, and then approached a few people and whispered: "In the hands left by the former emperor, even the gods have been secretly calculated. Therefore, before it was no longer possible to judge whether this was a 'coincidence' or an 'arrangement of fate', the attitude of the Floating City towards that person was respectful. ”
At this time, the other two mages who followed behind couldn't help but listen with their ears pricked up when they heard this inside story, and it was only on this occasion that they could get in touch with the treacherous situation of the entire Mystra and experience how those big people fell.
At this time, Zhao Xu also heard about it between these three or two sentences.
"Hmph, I think if we can get that treasure, nothing big will happen, as for being like that, just turning some women who have no hope of revenge and die with hatred into old ghost women for revenge, it really reveals a small family spirit from the inside out."
Hearing this step, Zhao Xu combined with the legend of the former "old ghost woman" in Shangshuanglu Town, and he had already heard it clearly.
There is more than one "old ghost woman" who has appeared in Frostdew Town, which is obviously artificially created.
And Zhao Xu also reacted at this moment, the meaning of the nursery rhyme of the bride in red that he heard.
The old mercenary in the tavern just now said that the traditional marriage here does not pass red clothes, unlike the red wedding clothes on earth.
This means that the red clothes are actually stained red with blood, and as for the mountains and lakes, I am afraid that they imply that they were stoned to death and sunk at the bottom of the lake.
And the second sentence follows the footsteps in white clothes, which is the story of a young girl who transforms into an old ghost woman after death and comes back to take revenge, which is why the third nursery rhyme is dragged away, and the fourth sentence of the dream and so on.
So before he came to Mystra, the bound lamb he saw was actually an act of "begging for mercy" from an old ghost woman.
And these old ghost women who can swagger in Frostdew Town, and even the entire Frostdew Town knows about their existence, are all created by an existence who has obtained a "mysterious treasure".
However, Floating Sky City still felt tricky about the origin of the "treasure", and did not dare to rashly intervene in the entire Frostdew Town.
Zhao Xu immediately decided, and when he turned around, he was afraid that he could only persuade the middle-aged woman to stay in Mystrala honestly.
The "old ghost woman" in Frostdew Town itself is deep enough, and it is not something that a mage like him who is only level 6 can intervene.
Just like in a certain scripture story, most of the monsters with a background were slightly "punished", and then they were recruited back to Heaven, and those who had no way were already beaten to death with a stick.
There is no doubt that these "old ghost women" have this kind of way.
At this time, the beams of the house had been burned by the raging flames, and the sound of collapse began to be made inside, and even under the effect of flash explosions, flames burst into the sky, constantly illuminating the calm night sky of this frost dew town.
And the brother of the young man in Chinese costumes, after watching the situation in front of him at this time, suddenly said to Zhao Xu with satisfaction: "Didn't you just say that you were going to the bar for fun?" Let me tell you, Mr. Kyle is our uncle, and he is also a five-ring mage, so you can't drive him like a human being. + Reading.com
Suddenly, a carriage carrying goods was not fastened because the wheels were not fastened, and when it was just starting, one of the wheels directly loosened, but rolled all the way to the front of the crowd.
At the same time, without the support of the wheels, the carriage, which had been under a lot of force, was suddenly crushed, and the goods, which were originally only roughly packed, fell out of it at once.
At this time, the person in charge of arranging the team looked nervously at the middle-aged man, and directly scolded: "How can I explain to you that you need to do a maintenance inspection before departure?" ”
Seeing that the driver in the car was unmoved, he was even more angry, "Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and clean up, can you afford to delay the adult's business." ”
And the big people in his mouth are not at all focused on those scattered goods at the moment, and they don't even pay attention to his hard performance.
However, Zhao Xu looked at the living creatures scattered but smiled silently.
Mage families, no wonder they can silence the many adventurer forces around them, it's really dark.
Seeing this kind of scene, he already knew that he had no chance to fish in troubled waters.
It's just that at this time, with some kind of stunned thought, he looked at the fireworks that represented the reshuffling of the forces in Frostdew Town tonight, and suddenly said, "Is there really nothing wrong with disguising the mage who was auctioned off the tomb collection tonight as the former ancestor of the family?" ”
For a while, the faces of several people who heard his words stiffened slightly.
After a long time, the middle-aged man looked at Zhao Xu seriously and said, "As the saying goes, if you want to deceive others, you must first hide yourself. So all along, except for a few people, we didn't know that we had nothing to do with the mage who was auctioned off the tomb collection. Until now, even before you went to the tavern, you were very indignant, so I thought the concealment was a success. ”
"Wait until tomorrow when this place is reduced to a scorched earth, and those who know the 'insider' of our construction will not be able to refute it, and those who are not qualified to know it will not be able to participate, after all, there is still some distance between Frostdew Town and Mystra, and this matter will be over. It's just that I didn't expect that you would actually be able to see through it at the last step. ”
"Uncle Kyle might guess a few points, but I don't think he will tell you, your expression is too obvious. And you don't pay attention to the glory of the family, or any heraldic history. The only possibility, I'm afraid, is what the carriage had just dropped, but I glanced at it, but I didn't see anything unusual. ”
"So, dear brother, can you tell me how you see it?"
The middle-aged man smiled, but his expression did begin to become a little serious.
Seeing through the effect of the camouflage of the "Transformation Technique", the "Spell" is naturally the first priority.
And the more earthy skills of "observing words and colors" are even better at this, and Zhao Xu himself has not invested much in "camouflage" skills.
Especially when middle-aged men participate in family affairs, they will never hone their diplomatic skills such as "observing words and feelings", "bluffing" and "negotiating", and even deliberately purchase magic items to strengthen their skills in this area.
At this time, the man in the prime of life couldn't help but look back at the distant tavern that had resumed some noise.
At this time, Zhao Xu was a little stunned to look at the monstrous fire that was burning.
Those adventurers who robbed the mage's grave did not expect that they would survive the trap in the tomb, but planted them in the outside world.
And the big chamber of commerce that manipulated the auction didn't even think that this would actually become their annihilation.
But strictly speaking, it is not an unwarranted disaster.
The mage family will not be so simple to recognize an ancestor for the sake of a tomb collection, that is, "+6 intelligence turban", not the "+12 intelligence turban" that can make the legend tear off his kind face to fight for.
The savings of the Chamber of Commerce itself for many years are the existence that is valued by the mage family.
It's like a fruit tree that has been idle for many years, once it is harvested with a sickle.
"Friends? Don't you answer? At this time, the middle-aged man's face changed and he said.
Because Zhao Xu has lifted his changed appearance.
However, Zhao Xu did not answer again.
Because in the corner of his eye, a familiar figure had appeared, as if it were yesterday.
"I'm sorry, this gentleman is now being recruited by us in accordance with Order No. 233, Second Order, Paragraph 11, 1043, 1043 of the Winter Era Calendar of the Association."
Antinoya's cold female voice came, and her voice was still a little childish, but it also directly silenced the entire venue.
