Chapter 353: Two Races That Love and Kill Each Other
The two female mercenaries turned back in unison and noticed that there was another person behind them at some point.
Although he was indoors, this man was still wearing a black cloak, covering his whole body tightly, and he could only see that his body was a head taller than ordinary people, but he was a little emaciated, and the only face that was not wrapped was covered by a sharp-beaked crow mask, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't even tell what race he was.
"Are you...... Night Raven Catcher of the Dead? ”
Fitandila was suddenly startled, this mask is so familiar, haven't you seen it on the wall of the "border town", how could the special legion that shot poisoned arrows appear here? Do you know Miss Brienne?
The female knight was a little overwhelmed at once, and on the contrary, the blonde mercenary was not in a hurry, she had already heard that this was the person she was waiting for.
She turned her head to look the other up and down, not forgetting to pick up her glass.
"Old bones, why are you dressed like this?"
That's right, this guy wearing the mask of "Night Raven Catcher" and wearing the "stealth cloak" is none other than one of her heroes, "King of the Tomb" Amanam Horton.
Rendezvous with him is also one of the reasons why Brienne came to the "Ruins of the Three Towers" in a limited time.
I thought about it when I made the plan before, and after the old bones successfully entered the empire, I would definitely have to find a place to meet everyone, but there were only two small cities on the way, "Heideck" and "Edheim", and the guards must be very tight, and it was inconvenient for the undead to move in such a place.
After thinking about it, she finally thought of a place like "The Ruins of the Three Towers", this underground black market itself is not far from "Iveheim", you can ask Rep to take people to prepare the ship to "Aldolph" first, she ran alone, to meet the old bones, and by the way, she can also investigate the most famous black market in the future empire.
That's right, it's an investigation.
Since she wants to build a big city where all races live together in her territory in the future, the black markets scattered around the world are undoubtedly objects of reference, in a sense, they have achieved the goal of allowing creatures of different races to put aside their grievances and live in peace in the same space for the time being, but what drives them is interests, living space, and common enemies, rather than a real sense of belonging.
Those who come to the black market are bound to be aliens and heretics who have been abandoned by the mainstream society, whether it is a neutral camp creature such as greenskins, rat people, and vampires, or humans or elves who believe in chaos, worship demons, and study evil arts, they can only seek what they want here.
As long as you can afford the entrance fee, you will not be refused.
Of course, it is not easy to really maintain a black market, like the "Ruins of the Three Towers", under the noses of those witch hunters in the empire, it has developed such a huge scale, and according to Brienne's understanding, it will grow even more in the future, until it becomes the number one existence in the entire old world.
This is by no means a simple task, nor is it something that can be achieved overnight.
In addition to the good foundation provided by the elven ruins themselves, the management of the manipulators behind the scenes of this black market also contributed to the fact that the latter was exactly what she wanted to come to observe and learn.
As far as she knew, the "Ruins of the Three Towers" was run by an organization called the "Ruin Council", with a total of nine seats, and she only knew the true identities of three of them, but she could probably tell that these nine people belonged to nine different forces and races, and they were not static.
One of them is in ......
"Let's talk about it in another place, I don't want to stay here for a moment."
Amanan Horton's answer suddenly interrupted the Norscan woman's thoughts, which were too far away, and she returned her attention to the present.
I didn't expect this old guy to dress up like this, but it perfectly hid his identity as an undead creature.
But the old bone's tone was clearly unpleasant, and Brienne realized that his mask was not facing her, but behind the bar.
Who to see? Of course, it was the beautiful and touching Lady Aurora, but it was obviously not because she was pretty, and she was squinting at the old bones with the crow's mask on her face playfully.
Brienne realized that she had forgotten something important.
Worried that the other taverns in the "Ruins of the Three Towers" in her memory would not have appeared, she could only ask Old Bone to meet at "Black Cat's Tail", but now that she thinks about it, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
She had forgotten that there was too much of a messy relationship between the Tomb King and the vampires.
These two undead races, they used to have the blood of "Nehekhara" in their bodies, but due to the direct or indirect influence of the "undead scourge" Nagash, they have now become undead creatures who can control the army formed by the dead, and it stands to reason that there should be a lot of common topics, but in fact, the two sides are a pair of mortal enemies who never die.
Unlike vampires who use necromantic magic to control the dead, zombies and skeletons are "toys" that can be discarded casually, while the Tomb Kings retain the tradition of ancestor worship of the dead, and the actions of vampires seem to them to be blasphemy.
Brienne has found a vampire territory to meet with Amanam Horton, so it's no wonder he's upset.
He was also an undead creature, and he was so familiar with the sour smell of these guys that he wouldn't have stepped in if he hadn't made an appointment with the lord to meet here.
The blonde mercenary drank the rest of the "cat blood" in one gulp, and then turned around and blocked the gap between the Tomb King and the Vampire Lady, using her body to block the sight of the two.
the hair! Fortunately, the old bone wore a "stealth cloak" to hide the undead aura on his body, so although Aurora was already a little suspicious, he had not yet discovered his true identity, otherwise the two sides might have fought directly.
Brienne didn't dare to slack off, and quickly used the excuse that she wanted to go upstairs to rest, so she distracted Mrs. Vampire, and then quickly led the two upstairs to finally avoid the disaster.
As soon as the three of them entered the room and sat down, Brienne introduced them to each other.
"Old bones, the cloak in my carriage before was my personal ...... Advisor, I asked him to come here in advance to explore the way. ”
"Fitandila, lord of Fetamburg, sort of, our companions."
After a few casual remarks, she got to the point.
"I know you hate it here. Bear with me, let's talk about what's going on first. ”
Companion? When Amanam Horton heard the lord say this, he was a little interested in the Arabi, and he had already recognized the bronze scimitar on the other's waist.
But now is not the time to care about these, he seized the time, first briefly told his experience after leaving the "border town", since the lord said that there were no outsiders, he did not hide it.
Breaking through the city gate, Amannan Horton went all the way north according to the plan, and went straight to the [Ruins of the Three Towers], but there was a small episode on the way, a force of twenty people came out of the "border town" and followed him closely, and he couldn't get rid of it, so Amannan Horton simply laid a trap outside the forest, killed them cleanly, and finally took the most complete set of clothes and masks to change into himself, and it became what it is now.
"So you're the one who suddenly rushed through the city gates."
Fitandila also reacted, it turned out that it was his own people who caused the chaos at that time, he actually single-handedly killed a team of [Night Raven Catchers], the performance of these hunters was what she saw with her own eyes at the time, the archery was accurate and well-trained, and it would never be possible to solve it if you replaced it.
"And then?"
Brienne doesn't care about this kind of trivial matter at all, she kills it, and people don't know who did it anyway, she cares about what interesting things the old bones found a few days before her.
"Then, according to the method you confessed, I entered this place three days before you, and every day I was in the street except to go to this broken tavern to see if you had arrived, and I saw the person with that "symbol" on his body! ”
