Chapter 138: Ice City 1
About a quarter of an hour after the lucky gatekeeper troll entered the Frost Guard City, the gate finally opened slowly, and a group of people in white robes came from a distance. In the center of the www.biquge.info of all of them stood a chariot carried by a four-headed snowman, on which sat a richly decorated broad-backed chair draped in thick fur, on which sat a noble lady who shone like a pearl in the night.
After the group came to the city gate, all the people in white robes immediately stood in two rows on the left and right, and the snowman with four heads carrying the chariot also knelt down, and then the back of the team ran to a troll in armor and nearly three meters high, it threw itself to the ground like a devout believer, and lay on the side of the chariot, and the noble lady on the chariot stood up, with a smile of satisfaction on her face, and then she stepped lightly on the back of the prostrate troll, and walked down slowly.
When the noble lady in black gauze came to Tyrone and Castine, Tyrone felt a powerful oppressive force from this woman's body, and his right hand in his sleeve robe tightly grasped the fist blade in his hand, "Gitai's Deadly Razor", as long as there was a slight change, Tyrone could burst out with powerful lethality in an instant, Tyrone was confident that within this distance, no one could retreat under his knife.
"You two are the envoys of the War College, right? I am the Lord of Ice City, Lisandro. I'm sorry that my subordinates have neglected the two envoys, I have already learned the specific details, and now the wrongdoers have been dealt with, but please forgive the two envoys for any offense. From the two red lips of the black-robed lady, this ethereal and clear voice was gently exhaled.
When Justin heard that it was Lisandro, the leader of the Frost Guard, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted with the etiquette of the War College, and said, "Lady Lisandro, it's an honor to meet you, and we're sorry for the conflict that happened outside the city gate just now. ”
After taking a look at the headless corpse in the snow next to him, Lisandro glanced at Tyrone's right hand in his sleeve, Tyrone was chilled by Lisandro's eyes, and he had a feeling that his thoughts were instantly seen through, this woman has such a powerful insight......
However, Lisandro only glanced at Tyrone without any words of reproach, and at the same time, she raised her left hand and beckoned behind her. The armored troll who was crawling on the ground ran to the end of the line in mind, and then came to Tyrone and Justin with two large wooden boxes in his hand.
Lisandro bowed slightly to a white-robed man on the left side beside him, and the white-robed man quickly stood up in front of several people, and after Lisandro tapped the two wooden boxes in the troll's hand with her chin, the white-robed man immediately opened one of the boxes.
Seeing that the box contained a troll head, Lisandro looked at the troll head in the box and said lightly, "This is one of the remaining guards who offended the two noble envoys, so bold, it should be killed." ”
Castin and Tyrone looked at each other and didn't say much, they both waited quietly for Lisandro's next step.
Then, at Lisandro's signal, the white-robed man opened another box, and when this box was opened, Castine was obviously startled, and her eyes instantly widened, revealing an incredible expression.
I saw that this wooden box was full of about a dozen oval gems as moist as white jade, and the moment the box was opened, the sizzling cool air began to float outside the box, so that people knew at a glance that it was not ordinary.
"This is the underground ore of the "Wailing Canyon Abyss" on the west side of our Frost Guard City, called Ice Crystal Jade, which can be worn with you to refresh your mind and dispel distracting thoughts, which is of great benefit to those who practice martial arts. My subordinates have offended the two of you today, and I hope the two nobles will laugh at this little caution. ”
Kastin waved her hand again and again, not daring to accept it. Seeing that Castine refused to accept the gift. Lisandro said again, "When Master Yi of your academy traveled to the mainland, he had a relationship with me, and after I accompanied Master Yi to visit the Wailing Canyon, Master Yi once said, the wind under the abyss is terrible and cold, but no one has gone down to the bottom of the abyss for thousands of years to ask, maybe there will be something unusual at the bottom of the abyss, the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, I have heard Master Yi's opinion, after more than ten years of exploration, I finally found this gem at the bottom of the abyss of the Wailing Canyon, since the two messengers are from the War College, Please also accept this gift and pass it on to Master Yi when you return to the War College. This can be regarded as my explanation to Master Yi. ”
As soon as Lisandro said this, it was difficult for Kastin to refuse, she could not accept this thing, but when it came to the respected vice dean Master Yi, she was not in charge, she looked at Tyrone on the side for help, and Tyrone nodded slightly. As a result, Kastin could only take the box of ice crystal jade, and thanked Lisandro again and again on behalf of Master Yi.
Later, Lisandro invited the two and the War College delegation into the Frost Guard City, and after settling in the residence of Castenne and the others, Lisandro took Castenne and Tyrone to begin a tour of the thousand-year-old Ice City. During this period, Cashine also asked about why she used trolls to guard the city gates, and Lisandro's answer was also very reasonable, she said that because she had subdued the leader of the trolls, Trandel, so under the inspiration of Lisandro, the troll leader Trandel led the entire troll clan to the Frost Guard City, and Trandle was the three-meter-tall and heavily armored troll that Castin and Tyrone saw at the door.
I have to admit that Lisandro is indeed a very attractive woman, in addition to her gestures with a graceful and elegant aristocratic atmosphere, she is also very easy-going, no matter what questions Castine asks along the way, she patiently answers them one by one, which makes Calline also feel very warm, and the more the two chat, the more speculative they become. Tyrone, who was only next to the two of them, had no change in his facial expression from beginning to end, and had always maintained the basic principles of being a top assassin, watching more, listening more, talking less, being emotionally restrained, and not leaking his appearance.
After the afternoon tour of the Ice City, Lisandro prepared a sumptuous dinner for the guests from the War College, and the variety of exquisite food on the dinner was mouth-watering, and the specifications of the dinner in such a desolate and remote place far exceeded the standards of some of the top nobles in the interior. Weathering and the rest of the War College were flattered, and Tyrone, who saw a table of delicious food, frowned slightly when no one noticed. After the banquet, when Tyrone and Kestine staggered by, Tyrone said softly to Kestine, "Midnight, three heavy and one light, important matters to discuss." ”
At night, Kastine was leaning on the edge of the bed and reading a book, when she suddenly heard a triple and light knock from the window, Kestine immediately put the book in her hand on the cabinet next to the bed, and then came to the window, she opened the curtains, opened the window halfway, Kestine pretended to take a deep breath outward, and then stretched lazily, and then, Kestine shook around the window a few times, until a low voice came from her ear, "It's okay, close the window!" ”
Although she didn't see any figures and heard this strange sound, Kastin's face did not change, and she raised her hand to close the half of the window and close the curtains again.
"Catine, go and sit down at the head of the bed, from this moment on, I speak, you listen, just like just now, without any change of expression or mood. Do you understand? Tyrone's voice still came faintly, but he was still nowhere to be seen.
With a faint "um" in her nostrils, Castine returned to bed, then picked up the book on the cabinet again and pretended to read it.
Tyrone's voice began to continue, "Believe it or not, Castine, for the sake of our mission to succeed in this trip, you must remember every word I say at this moment. Since entering the city, all of our every move is under the control of others, I don't know if you have noticed, when we visit the entire ice city during the day, the city is engraved with totemic-like eye patterns everywhere?? ”
Kastine was holding the book in her hand, but her head was slightly twitched, and if she only looked at her expression, it seemed that she had seen something very interesting in reading the book.
"As an Assassin, I could feel that the patterns were alive, and they could keep an eye on our every move, not only on the streets outside, but also in the hotel where we were staying. Also, one of the delicacies we ate at today's dinner was "Rayfish", as far as I know, Fish was once the designated tribute of the Noxian royal family, this special fish only lives in the Wulong River and Sals Lake in Noxus and has a very low yield, and is still under the control of the Noxian Federation, even if the War College wants to purchase the fish, I am afraid there is no such way, but the high-level of the Zuan Federation can always get the quota of the Noxus Fisheries Department every year. This is also the strangest part of today's dinner, how can you get Noxus's specialty eel in this city of frost guards that is known to be isolated from the outside? It's just puzzling. In short, this place is not good, and we must be more careful. I'm going to rush back to my room as soon as possible, and although I'm disguised as a human on the bed, I'm still going to be careful, and you have to be more careful!! Remember!! ”
After a few seconds, the curtains in Castine's room shook slightly, and then there was a slight "snap, click" sound from the window, and the room fell silent. Castine put the book on the bedside table again with her gold-rimmed glasses, rolled over and lay down on the bed, and turned off the lamp. It's just that her eyes are wide open, shining with thought.
Outside the ice city, Chen Yin and his party had already arrived at the west wall and were about to climb over the wall, if they followed the normal travel speed, everyone should have been able to arrive a long time ago, but what was puzzling was that Master Ruiz deliberately slowed down his speed, and kept knocking off inexplicable stones and tree trunks on the road he was traveling, and it was because of his behavior that everyone was delayed for at least four or five hours, and they arrived at the ice city late at night.
However, Ruiz is a respected old-timer, and for his abnormal behavior, except for Anne who has been trying to ask but was stopped by Chen Yin a few times, no one else asked why. (To be continued.) )
