Volume 4 Dragon X War Chapter 6 Ghetto Spies
In Jia Ren's warehouse, the guards who came upstairs with Jia Zhi had already rushed over. Each of them was armed with weapons, and under the cover of the black bear, they kept shrinking the encirclement of Yugari. Jia Zhi was even more anxious to bend his bow and arrows behind him, and shot a series of arrows at Youjiali at the slightest gap, not giving her the slightest respite.
Just then, a long whistle was heard outside.
"Looks like Miria and the others have left the docks." Yugari secretly rejoiced, "Then I won't have to stay here anymore."
"Rubbish! So many people can't even catch a little girl! With Jia Zhi's roar, huge energy gushed out from him. A brave multi-horned rhinoceros, a black python thicker than an adult man's waist, a lightning-shining saber-toothed white tiger, and a tall white-haired giant ape,...... More than a dozen battle pets of all kinds were summoned by Jia Zhi in an instant, and they roared, screamed, and pounced on Youjiali desperately.
"Sacred, Sacred Barrier!" As Eugari cast her spell, a solid barrier appeared in front of her, blocking out the attacks of Jia Zhi and the guards, along with the collision of all pets.
"Damn!" Looking at Youjiali's leisurely appearance in the barrier, Jia Zhi became more and more angry, "Surround her for me!" Rush up to me when the protection is gone! Chop her up! ”
"Yes! Sir! "One by one, the guards, along with the summoned battle pets, have flooded Yugari's ramparts.
"Look where you're going!"
"I don't have time to keep playing with you." Youjiali waved her hand easily and smiled at Jia Zhi in front of her.
After a while, as the sacred barrier disappeared, a circle of golden light flashed under Yugari's feet, and she disappeared into the murky air in full view of everyone. Startled, the guards rioted.
Although Jia Zhi was also taken aback, he immediately launched his detection, and then rushed to the window and looked down. I saw that Yujali was riding on the unicorn at this time, waving at him. Jia Zhi immediately turned over and jumped out of the villa, trying to catch Yujiali. However, the moment Jia Zhi jumped down, Yujiali immediately urged her mount and rushed into the sky.
Jia Zhi desperately bent his bow and arrows, and with all his strength, he shot countless arrows towards Youjiali. However, the end of the crossbow is not able to do any damage to Yugari at all. Yujiali rode on the unicorn, turned around and fired a few arrows, looked at Jia Zhi who was thunderous with anger below, no longer looked back, and flew straight towards the merchant ship in the sky.
When the fiery sun leaps out of the sea, the sea breeze blows again, and the long night ends. Miria was standing on the golden deck, waving to Eugari flying in the distance.
"How? Are you all set? Yugari turned over and dismounted, her joy palpable.
"No problem." Seeing that Eugari had returned safely, Miria said very happily, "We have arranged for someone to be ready in the back, and they will notify us as soon as a ship comes after us." Bow and arrow fuel is readily available, enough to support Jumbo Bay. As long as you get there, it's safe. How are you? Didn't get hurt, did you? ”
"It's fine. In fact, it is just a matter of delaying time. I didn't fight much. I think they'll send a boat after them in a moment. Eugari replied, "What about Brala?" What do you think? No problem, right? ”
"Everything is fine. The rebellious guards were all arrested. Ordinary crew members let them help because of the lack of manpower. There are fake soldiers here, it shouldn't matter. The captain is in the cockpit, the same teacher we met at the Academy of Magic. ”
"Huh?" "It feels a little embarrassing...... Yugari said, surprised. All right. In that case, let's head full speed toward Treasure Bay! ”
In this way, although they were nervous all the way, they drove calmly for a long time, until the figure of Jumbo Bay gradually appeared in their field of vision, and their hanging hearts were relaxed.
"Strange, how could it not be chased?" Yugari muttered to herself.
"What's wrong? Any questions? ”
"Uh, no. No problem. Yujiali frowned slightly and said, "Although I think it's a little strange, it's better not to chase after it." ”
"yes, I'll go back and investigate something. For us now, safety is the most important thing. ”
"Hmm!"
Not long after, the merchant ship was safely anchored at the dock of Jumbo Bay. As soon as she got to the dock, Miria immediately mounted her war horse and galloped towards the Guild Alliance's building. When she returned to the docks with a large number of members of the Guild Alliance, Yujali immediately explained the situation to the officials who had arrived, and then followed them, riding in a carriage, carrying the captives, and taking the children, towards the Guild Alliance's building.
In the Guild Alliance, Yugari and the others explained in detail to the person in charge the results of the investigation of the high-level commission for the missing children, focusing on the current situation on Quuhari Island, believing that the situation on the island is closely related to the Apocalypse Revolutionary Army, and it also involves some places where the gray guild is secretly colluding. As for the guild alliance, first of all, they expressed their gratitude to Yujiali and them for rescuing the children, and at the same time said that they would settle these children well, and they would also send people to conduct a comprehensive search and investigation of Quuhari Island as soon as possible, so please rest assured.
After doing these things, Yugari didn't forget to stop by to visit Nana. Yugari was relieved to learn that she was now a trainee and had started a new life at the temple. After that, they had no time to linger in Treasure Bay, and that day they crossed the forest path back to Starlis.
"Brother Zhou Xin, how did things get like this?" Xiang Bing came to the guild's study and complained to the man with golden curly hair, "Just now there was news from the Guild Alliance that our delivery team, including my captain, Yang Cai, has been detained. Not only did the trap you set before fail, but I heard that the Guild Alliance has already sent people to Quehari Island. ”
"Don't worry, Brother Xian." Zhou Xin smiled and continued, "Things are not so bad that they are unacceptable, everything is still under control." ”
"How?"
"Although the trap failed to get rid of the people in the way, I think eighty percent of them didn't find the secret passage, which is an overestimation of them. The people who are arrested don't have to worry at all, Ji Huo and they will come back tomorrow, no matter how many people are arrested, we have a way to get them back. As for the revolutionary army, their interests are at the forefront, and their life or death has nothing to do with us. I'm more concerned about what's going on in the ghetto, and that's what matters most to us. ”
"Everything is going well in the slums. There's a lot of information from these little cubs who just came in. In a few days, the stumbling block should be removed, and even if all the forces are not absorbed, the strength of the slums will be greatly weakened. ”
"That's good. The stronghold of the revolutionary army is gone, and then we will have contacts in another place, and it will have no real impact on us at all. The Guild Federation couldn't find any evidence of our contact with them. As for that emerging guild...... Zhou thought for a moment and continued, "It is said that it has been promoted to a three-star guild because of the completion of this high-level commission. I'd like to send some more people to investigate and see what their strength really is. Although there is no threat to us right now, it is better to find an opportunity to get rid of it just in case. ”
"Then next, I will focus on dealing with the affairs of the slums, and the rest of the things will be Brother Lao Zhou."
"No problem, just leave it to me. Also, what the president wrote to explain before, wait for Ji Huo to come back tomorrow, let him go to the country of tranquility. ”
"Yes. That's it for now. With that, Xiang Bing got up and left the study. At this time, outside Xiang Bing's office, a seven or eight-year-old boy was standing at the door waiting for him.
"Come in." Xiang Bing walked into the room quickly, sat on his chair, and said expressionlessly, "Your sister has been rescued, and she should be on her way back now, it is estimated that it will be there in the next two days." ”
"Too, too, thank you......" The little boy said with tears wiped from his eyes and choked up.
"It's nothing, it's easy for a three-star guild like ours. Of course, it's not all our work, other guilds, and even the Guild Alliance, have also contributed to it. ”
"It's all up to you, my lord." The little boy said without knowing how to thank him.
"What happened to the matter about Mai Long and Old Man Bai that I asked you to investigate before? Any news? ”
"This ......," said the little boy in a hesitant manner, "has investigated a bit." Although Malon always acts alone, he still has a few joint helpers, big, about two or three, I don't know. Exactly where it is has not been found. However, it is said that the place where they met was Intelligence Street, west of the ghetto. As for the old man white...... There hasn't been any news......" After speaking, the little boy lowered his head in shame.
"How does this work?" Xiang Bing rebuked dissatisfiedly, "We have worked so hard to rescue your sister, you can't even do this thing?" ”
"I'm sorry! I'm going to look into it again, and I'm sure I'll find useful news! ”
"It's useless! Forget it, I'll help you again. Do as I say. ……”
After the little boy came out of the back door of the Black Wind Mercenary Guild, he did not rush home, but walked into the alley of Intelligence Street on a detour. He first bought some food that was about to expire at a street corner stall, and then wandered aimlessly around the block with a bag.
Suddenly, a man who looked like a coachman appeared in front of the little boy. He was dressed in dark blue overalls, slightly fat, and seemed to have just been sent to the streets in a horse-drawn carriage. Since the alley was narrow and the carriage could not enter, the man had to get out of the carriage, carry his luggage, and help the guests move to the door.
As the man was about to return to the carriage, the little boy suddenly rushed around the corner, crashed into the man's arms, and fell backwards. The paper bag in his hand was thrown on the ground, and the food inside immediately spilled out.
"How do you walk? Blind? The man scolded.
"Look at what you've done! My bread is all spilled. Compensate me! The little boy immediately got up and grabbed the man's coat and shouted relentlessly.
"Get out of here!" As he spoke, the man pushed away the entangled little boy and walked towards the carriage without looking back. However, he didn't go far when the man suddenly realized something, immediately touched his shirt, immediately turned around, and shouted, "Give me the wallet!" You thief! With that, he strode after the little boy.
The little boy immediately ran up and fled with the man around the neighborhood. The man chased and shouted, "Catch that bastard!" It's a thief! "People along the way, some put down their work and stop to watch, and some don't care about it and continue to do their work as if nothing happened.
Suddenly, two stout and well-dressed men sprang out from the side of the road, and one of them suddenly pushed the little boy to the ground. At this time, the man who had lost his wallet caught up and said breathlessly, "This ...... This bastard! It's, it's really ......."
"Brother Li, it's time for you to lose weight." The man in fancy clothes quipped.
"Whew...... Hah......" The man who lost his wallet gasped and said laboriously, "Thank you...... Thank you, I, I owe you a personal favor, this ...... Bastard, dare to steal my wallet. ”
"Hey, why don't you hand it over quickly, don't you want to live?" Another man stepped forward and picked up the little boy and scolded.
"Let go of me! Bastard! He was the one who spilled my bread first! ”
"Dare to be hard-mouthed!" With that, the man threw the little boy to the ground, and a black wallet fell out of the little boy's arms. The man then picked up the purse and returned it to its rightful owner.
"Brother Li, take it! Don't lose it! ”
"That's it. Thank you so much, two brothers, I'll treat you later. ”
At this moment, the man in the fancy clothes was about to step forward and pick up the little boy, wanting to teach him another lesson. Suddenly, a man dressed in pitch black and covering his face flashed next to him, grabbed his wrist, and said coldly, "Don't you feel ashamed of three adults bullying a child?" ”
"What?" The man in the fancy clothes looked the man in black who suddenly appeared up and down, shook off his wrist vigorously, and said angrily, "What do we teach the thief to do with you?" Who are you? How many punches do you have to take for him? With that, the two immediately surrounded them.
"Humph! I'm not interested in fighting with you wine bags and rice bags. With that, the man in black turned around and left. The little boy immediately took the opportunity to follow.
At this moment, the man in the fancy clothes grabbed the shoulder of the man in black and tried to stop him from leaving. The moment the man in black turned around, he flew up and kicked the man in fancy clothes out, and the man immediately covered his stomach, curled up, and fell to the ground moaning in pain. Before the other man could react, the man in black threw another punch into his cheek, knocking him to the ground. Frightened, the man known as Brother Li stood aside and watched in a daze, not daring to move.
Then, the man in black didn't say a word and turned to leave.
"You're amazing! I remember last time you saved me. The little boy exclaimed as he followed the man in black.
"Why are you stealing from people?"
"They were the ones who broke my bread first. Why don't you teach me martial arts? Save them from bullying me all the time. ”
"I don't have that time."
"I already knew you, the slums knew your ......" In this way, under the questioning of the little boy, the two quickly disappeared into the dim street.
"Hey! It's time to get up! Miria walked into Yujali's room, shook Yujari, who was sleeping in the morning, and said loudly.
"Let me sleep again, I can't finish such a troublesome commission, and the guild has been promoted, so I can sleep more." Yugari replied in a daze.
"Didn't you say today that you would go to the Guild Alliance to listen to the results of the follow-up investigation on Quehari Island?" Miria pouted and asked, "What, aren't you going?" ”
"That's right!" Hearing this, Yujali immediately sat up and said loudly, "I almost forgot. So, she quickly got up and washed up. After everything was cleaned up, he hurriedly pulled Miria in the direction of the Guild Alliance. However, when she arrived at the Guild Alliance, after listening to the report of the person in charge, Eugari almost stood up from her chair in surprise.
"What?! You just said that nothing was found on Quahari? ”
"Yes, according to the news from the other side of Treasure Bay, when their investigation team arrived the next day, nothing had been found on the island except a burned house and a few stone buildings. No human figure was found, no goods were found, not even sporadic information. ”
"How could it be. I remember leaving the island with a lot of guards, and a lot of goods in the warehouse. ”
"Maybe they expected the Guild Alliance to go, so they hurriedly packed their bags and fled." Miria complained, "After all, people won't stay there forever waiting for you to be caught." ”
"But......" Yugari said with some grievances, "you just said that there is no way to arrest the Black Wind mercenaries, right?" ”
"Yes. Because according to the evidence currently available, it is not enough to prove what they had with the revolutionary army. ”
"Didn't we catch their merchant ships?"
"The owner of that merchant ship is indeed a mercenary of the Black Wind, as are the crew and cargo on it. But there is no evidence that they were delivered to the Revolutionary Army. This was because there was no sign of a revolutionary army on Quuhari Island, and the cargo on board was a general merchandise, and there was no prohibited cargo. They said that they had been transiting with other merchants on Quuhari Island, and that they had no idea that the children were being held captive on the island, so they could not conclude that they had anything to do with the child's disappearance. ”
"However, Lin Jing should also report Ji Huo's affairs to the Guild Alliance before."
"About that...... the person in charge paused and continued, "because no one from the consignee was caught, and they themselves only said that it was a shipment to Jumbo Bay. And accuse you of robbing their goods. The investigators also found no traces of the revolutionary army in the vicinity, so it was still impossible to determine that they had anything to do with the revolutionary army for a while. ”
"What about the Poison Mist Forest?" Miria suddenly asked, "In the Poison Mist Forest, didn't the Black Knight followers report the attack on the Klock caravan?" ”
"That thing, we did get a lawsuit from them. However, everyone is more inclined to a conflict between the two major guilds, and although it will definitely be dealt with seriously, it is basically unlikely that it will have anything to do with the revolutionary army. For more details, you can find the investigators who are in charge of this matter, I think they should have collected a lot of materials, but I don't know exactly what stage of the process. ”
"How can this be......" Yugari said disappointedly. Although she wanted to argue something more afterwards, she was immediately stopped by Miria. After that, he had to leave the building of the Guild Alliance in despair.
"That's usually the case." Miria looked at the disappointed Yujali and comforted, "Although many things seem simple, each has its own forces behind it, and many times it is basically impossible to deal with these gray guilds through the guild alliance." Unless you have very good evidence, but even then, it may have to wait until the sea is dry. ”
"So what are we going to do?" Eugari asked.
"There's nothing to do. Now we just have to do our own thing. When you have a chance to have a lot of evidence, you can find a way to deal with them. Of course, you have to make sure that you don't get crushed by them before that. ”
"Alas...... That's it, and it seems that there is no other way. Yugari said with a sigh.
"Alright, don't think about that anymore. Let's find a place to wander around and relax. ”
"That's fine. Let's go to Aegean's first, I haven't thanked them since I came back. ”
"This ......," Miria said reluctantly, thinking of the environment.
"What? It's okay, let's go. ”
"Okay......"
