Chapter 44: "The Attack"
At the moment when Xue Hua lowered the curtain of the car window, a white object suddenly flew in from the window, smashed on the small table in the carriage, and then fell to the floor.
Farah and his daughter reacted almost as soon as the thing flew through the window, and Farah disappeared directly from his seat, while Sosiya was instantly dressed in a gorgeous outfit of green and dark gold.
She was enveloped by the aura of contempt spread out under her feet, holding a strangely shaped green protective shield in her left hand and a reinforced mace with the same green level in her right hand, standing by the window with a serious face, her muscles tensed, and she was obviously ready for battle.
The carriage did not stop, but continued to accelerate, and it was evident that the coachman had been trained in this way, and what was the wisest thing to do in the event of an attack.
In the carriage, the mercenary sisters were already nervous, their faces suddenly became very calm and solemn, and both of them had already taken out their bows and put arrows on them, and even the bowstrings had been slightly opened.
One of the sisters stared at the car window, and the other crossed Xue Hua, half-squatted on the seat, and pointed the bow in his hand in the direction of the car door.
The entire carriage was instantly put into a state of combat readiness, and anyone who tried to burst into the carriage through windows and doors would be hit head-on.
However, Xue Hua, who was sitting in the middle of everyone, was far less nervous, he even leisurely cleaned up the small table that the white object swept into a mess a little, and then bent down and took out the white thing from under the seat.
This thing looks like a white cloth wrapped in heavy objects, and if Xue Hua has a good hunch, this white cloth should be wrapped in a stone.
Xue Hua looked up at Soxia, who was still waiting, and Funia, who had been staring out the window, shook his head helplessly, and then untied the hemp rope tied to the white cloth and took out the things wrapped in the white cloth.
It was a rock, a pebble that can be found everywhere on the beach.
Xue Hua shook his head again, put the pebbles on the table, and spread out the white cloth in front of his eyes, only to find that there were a lot of names and times written on it with charcoal.
He couldn't understand these things, so he wanted to go to Socia to identify them.
As a result, at this moment, on the seat opposite him, with a flash of lightning, Farah's figure appeared there.
"Don't ask me, I didn't find anything, if the YPF did it, then they might have recruited a legendary pro too... That's not good news for us......" As soon as Farah appeared, he spoke straight and tapped the plate behind him, asking the driver to slow down the carriage.
"I don't think they came specifically to attack the carriage, they just acted to send us this ......" Xue Hua handed the white cloth in his hand to Farah: "Can you understand what is on it?" ”
Farah frowned, took the white cloth and looked at it carefully.
While Farah was recognizing the contents of the white cloth, Xue Hua spoke again and told the others what he had just seen.
"I think, the one who threw this thing into the carriage is not a legendary professional at all, and a legendary professional is not a cabbage, where is it so easy to recruit?"
"Impossible! Although this old man is sometimes confused, he will never let a legendary guy run away from under his nose! Sothia immediately retorted.
"Hah! That's where the blind spot lies, and when this thing is thrown into the car, we all subconsciously think it's an attack! However, what if this wasn't an attack? ”
Xue Hua said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The ultimate goal of all the other party's actions is just to get this thing into the car, and to throw a ball of cloth wrapped in stones into a carriage that has just come down from a high slope and is slowing down... Does this really have to be done by a professional? ”
The smile on Xue Hua's face began to expand slowly, and he continued.
"Now that I think about it, all these coincidences, including the accident at the gate of the upper city, are probably part of a series of plans designed by the other party, and the ultimate purpose of the plan is to have an inconspicuous person send this thing into the carriage in a way that will cause misunderstanding... Then, the two legendary pros in the car would think it was a well-planned attack......"
"Actually, to be honest, if I hadn't happened to see the 'implementer of this plan' when I pulled down the curtains, I wouldn't have been able to debunk this whole plan so quickly......"
"What?! Xue! You really saw the attack... No, the implementer of the plan? Who is he? If you were asked to identify him again, would you still be able to recognize him? ”
Sothia was originally immersed in the shock generated by Xue Hua's meticulous "reasoning", but when she suddenly heard this, she immediately asked in surprise.
"Yes, as I closed the curtains, I could clearly see the implementer of the plan, and the white 'attack object' he was holding in his hand.
But even if I could recognize him, it wouldn't make any sense......"
Xue Hua first nodded, admitting that he had indeed seen the whole process of that guy's "crime", but then shook his head regretfully.
"Why?! If we can catch that guy, we might be able to give the headquarters of the People's Protection Front ......."
"Sothia, alright, Xue is right, even if it doesn't make any sense to find that guy... Because our 'attackers' are a group of children whose average age is probably less than 10 years old......"
With the white cloth in her hand, Farah looked up at her daughter with a look of understanding on her face.
"Kids?!" Sothia was stunned by this answer, and even the two little girls looked at each other for a while.
"Yes, do you remember the slum kids who have been running after the wagon ever since it began to slow downhill? It was in the hands of one of the little ones that I saw this white cloth wrap......"
Xue Hua nodded, picked up the pebble from the table, and showed an interesting expression on his face.
Doing this kind of thing with children, let alone when Farah teleports out to find someone, he won't find these little guys at all.
Even if they are really found, or they are caught.
What can you do with a bunch of children?
Want to get a clue from them?
That's even more impossible!
The real main messenger behind the scenes may have just used a packet of rice candy to buy this group of imps who are not afraid of heaven and earth.
What can you ask, that's really a ghost!
No matter who planned this matter, that planner is definitely not a good character!
"But why did they give it to us in this way? Also, what exactly is written on that white cloth? ”
Sosia put away her equipment, sat back in her seat, and looked curiously at the white cloth in Farah's hand, and asked suspiciously.
"Judging from the style of acting, the mastermind of this incident should undoubtedly be the so-called 'fox fox'... And what is written on this white cloth ... It should be a schedule, a desert mercenary's monitoring schedule for our Mage Guild headquarters......."
Farah said expressionlessly, handed the white cloth to Kane beside him, and then tapped the car board behind him with his cane, and said to the coachman: "Fexi, let's not go to the headquarters, change places, go to the tavern in Atma." ”
"Understood, sir."
"Foxhead Fox! It's him? Also, the desert mercenaries are spying on the Mage Guild headquarters?! ”
Sothia exclaimed.
"Foxhead... Fox? Who is this? Xue Hua asked with a frown.
Where did this great god come from?
Why are there so many ghosts in this Lugoin City?
"Foxhead Fox... It's a nickname, and this guy's name is thunderous in the slums and out-of-town......"
