Chapter 483: I Want to See Myself
The people in the carriage didn't just think about how to protect Shentu Miaoling from the beginning - even if they were still abandoned hunters, the valley training camp at that time was no longer ignorant teenagers who had no right to speak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Mo said that these children were already supported by legendary hunters, and in the period before and after the challenge festival alone, they had obtained the assurance of the City Lord's Mansion and the friendship from the royal family of Ryan Yelu. To put it more seriously, there are also high-level supporters in the hunter union, the scribe group, and the high-ranking hunters. As long as one or two parties in so many forces come to the rescue, plus the small hunting group itself has a clear conscience, it can easily withdraw from the center of the whirlpool with a little mediation. In short, a few months ago, Shentu Miaoling had a way to return to her companions safely.
But as the girl has repeatedly repeated, she is more concerned about the demise of the dealer than her own safety.
No matter where Shentu Miaoling's hatred for the Zhuang family arises, it is an excellent time to destroy this northern family. Zhuang Dusk's crimes before and after the challenge sacrifice, any one of them is enough to make the dealer fall into a catastrophe. What the hunters lacked was only evidence that would link Zhuangdu's actions to the entire family.
Such ironclad evidence certainly does not exist, and in the face of a small trainee hunter, the dealer showed an unpleasantly rigorous and meticulous manner. None of the airships, battle supplies, and even boatmen and hunters used to loot the treasure have any connection with the dealer. On the contrary, if you follow these clues, you will definitely end up pointing to Zhuang Dusk, who "acted privately" and "turned his back on the family". The arrangement of the strong man's broken wrist was arranged long before the start of the festival, and even if the matter was revealed, only the second son of the dealer who was the shield would be damaged, and the dealer would be safe and sound.
However, whether it is a person or a family, panicking can also make mistakes. In the sudden meeting held a few months ago, Shentu Miaoling was among the attendees, which made the entire dealer fall into a panic. Of course, a mere northern family had no way of knowing, and the main topic of the meeting was not the judgment of the banker, but the dispute over territory between the two kingdoms. The thief-minded dealer only thinks that the hunters' union has found some clues, or that the Scarlet royal family suddenly turns back and wants to kill themselves, so they can't wait to start the action of self-preservation.
The only flaw in the family is Zhuang Dusk, although the young man is loyal to the Zhuang family, but the fate of the whole family obviously cannot be based on the loyalty of one person. But he can't die, at the critical time when he heard that the council was about to convene, the first suspect of the incident died inexplicably in the prison of the Knights.
"Alive" and "able to testify" are not exactly the same. A speechless Zhuang Dusk, of course, it doesn't matter whether he is loyal or not.
Zhuang Duan, who had already been poisoned by the ancient dragon, suddenly fell ill in prison and was unconscious for a long time, which is reasonable and reasonable. In fact, the bookmaker's decision-makers even rejoiced in this brilliant idea for a while. Hearing that there was no confrontation in the council, the dealer had an excuse to investigate the matter, and in the name of "protection", imprisoned Shentu Miaoling, who had stabbed out the basket, completely cutting off the possibility of the girl bringing down the dealer.
It's a pity that the protagonist of this battlefield is not Shentu Miaoling.
In this six-month-long war, the Black Star Twins have put in far more effort than the Little Hunters imagined.
Listening to the opening of the council can be said to be single-handedly facilitated, the information in the girl's hand is not big, not small, if it is not for the nod of Representative Ryan Yelu, she will most likely not appear at the scene of listening to the council, and of course it will not cause panic among the dealers. In all aspects of poisoning, all kinds of unfavorable evidence about the dealer were also investigated by the two of them by themselves. And the most important thing is that the poison that fell on Zhuang Duan's body, the union's standard antidote was not caught, and the antidote needed a rare plant in the depths of the forest to be prepared.
Even if the Shui Mu Forest is not like the Great Swamp and the Thundering Sand Sea, there are mysterious ancient dragons in the town, but the monsters in it are fierce and weird, and the dangers are endless, and even ordinary four-star hunters dare not set foot in the depths. The two legendary-level masters had been exploring in the deep forest for several months, and what kind of danger they had experienced even Shentu Miaoling did not dare to imagine at this moment. In the swaying carriage, the girl glanced quietly at old Elul, only to feel that Amphines had several more wrinkles on her forehead than she had been a few months ago, and her spirit had weakened a lot.
"Instructor...... Thank you for your hard work this time. She breathed a sigh of relief and said again.
"I'm afraid the dealer can't think of it even if he wants to break his head, there are two legendary hunters who have run a trip to the water submerged forest just for them." The man hidden in the carriage had already taken off his helmet, revealing a wide face. Half of the strange hunter's jaw seemed to be burned, and his beard grew twisted on one side.
"The dealer also didn't expect that during these months, there was a powerful hunter who could communicate with me at any time......" The girl laughed happily, "That guy Zhuang Chen, after knowing that the quarantine defense he was planning was just a joke, must have an even more wonderful expression than today." ”
"The girl has won the prize, but she is just wearing a hunting suit, and there is nothing to brag about." The Invisible Man played with his helmet in his hand. The equipment itself can fool any creature with vision, and coupled with the hunter's superb concealment skills, as long as he is not standing in front of the Zhuang family, the chance of being spotted is almost zero.
The first news of the dealer's poisoning reached Amphinis's ears through the mouth of the invisible man. Zhuang Chen had been guarding against letting the girl contact the outside world, and he would never have dreamed that someone would be able to break through the Zhuang family's tightly guarded private territory and see Shentu Miaoling in the deep courtyard under house arrest as if no one was around.
"Anyway, there's only one last step left in this round." The trainee hunter closed his eyes, "That guy Zhuang Dusk, I'm afraid I'm going crazy now." ”
"He's still very weak, since he woke up last night, most of the Knights have been trying to find a way to hang his life, and it's hard to do it for those guys who only kill people on weekdays." Luo Pingyang said with a reluctantly face, "When the teacher and I were present, that guy didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone go crazy. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until this morning when his condition is stable, and then I will ask someone to tell him little by little. ”
"Squeak!" As the sound of the horses' hooves slowed down, the wooden bearings made a shrill grinding sound, and the carriage came to a steady stop. The girl lifted the curtain and looked up, revealing the tall towers of the Golden Feather City Hunters' Union. She distinctly remembered that on one of the floors of the tower, there was a dark room where the council was held, and that hut must have been full at the moment.
"We're here." Old Ailu said unhurriedly.
"Instructor Anfei ......" Seeing that the two were about to get out of the car, Shentu Miaoling opened her mouth to stop the legendary hunter, "I have one more thing to ask." ”
Old Eru pricked up her ears.
"The dealer and my mother and daughter are for personal revenge, as long as there is an opportunity, I will do whatever it takes to bring it down." The chill on the girl's face was instantaneous. She hesitated, but asked, "But you, instructor, ...... Why help me to this extent? ”
"I am your instructor, and the students are in prison, so of course the instructors can't stand idly by." Amphienis said left and right.
"But you don't have to do it my way." Shentu Miaoling shook her head, "It should be a simpler plan than to move the royal representatives of a country to initiate a hearing to the council and use the power in your hands to directly drag me out of the prison of the Knights." ”
The Blackstar Twins glanced at each other, the invisible man put on his helmet playfully, the light in the carriage flickered, the curtain was gently pulled up, and there was a silent lack of one person in the carriage in the blink of an eye.
"It is very likely that the change in the challenge festival was not an accidental conflict." Old Ai Lu pondered her words, "Xiao Luo and I are tracking down a mysterious force. ”
"It's a low-key organization that has only recently emerged in the eyes of the world, collecting and reselling precious ores and monster materials in various countries and hunting grounds in the New World. In recent days, these guys have had a record of fighting with the union, the royal hunting group, and even the poachers for certain materials - just like the accidents in the challenge festival. Luo Pingyang further explained, "My teacher and I believe that this force has the potential to further endanger the world order of the union and the hunters, and the dealer has frequent exchanges of interests with them. ”
"Moving these small northern families may make the guys hiding in the shadows show the tip of their tails." Ai Lu said in a low voice, "That's the case, Xiao Luo and I won't destroy a family for no reason, but when they harm the interests of the entire continent, that's a different matter. At this point, Amphines laughed lightly, "Well, these things don't need your concern yet - go in quickly, get your victory back, and get to your companions as soon as possible." ”
"Huh? Others...... Isn't Golden Feather City anymore? ”
"I forgot to tell you," said old Ailu, patting her on the head, "the dust has returned, and now they have been placed in a safe place outside the city by me. After the fall of the bookmaker, the city will soon be in turmoil, and I don't want you to get involved in other things. If you're quick, you should still be able to see live colognes there. ”
…………
Zhuang Du sat on the chair with red eyes, the young man's body could only move his fingers and head and neck, his limbs were bound by iron chains thick with little fingers, the other end of the chain was tied to the thick stone pier, and his chest was tied to death by two thick iron chains that crossed him, and his back could not even leave the back of the chair.
Even if the Knights didn't give him such a high-standard treatment, this half-crippled hunter wouldn't be able to make any waves. He has not been active for more than five months, his weight has dropped more than a dozen pounds, his face is obviously thin, and he can't even stand for a long time. Zhuang Dui's spirit was forcibly lifted by the potion, and the effect of the medicine would subside in a few more hours, and at that time, the already dry physical strength would be overdrawn, and the side effects alone would be enough to make him coma again.
"I ...... Don't believe it! "The young man's vocal cords were too rough and hoarse because they hadn't been used for a long time.
"It's a very different situation than it was six months ago." In the dark, I don't know which councilor said slowly, "Speaking of which, thanks to your contributions, the union and the kingdom can know that there is such a tumor as the Zhuang family in the north of Golden Feather City." ”
"Daddy and brother...... It's impossible to do such a thing......" Zhuang retorted in vain, not knowing whether to say it to the parliamentarians or to comfort himself.
"You know what they can do." The side door of the hut opened slightly, and a female voice continued with Zhuang Dui, "You have the blood of the Zhuang family in your body, and you should be very clear about what this bloodline is doing." ”
"Shentu Miaoling......" Zhuang Du turned half of his face away, "I thought you were already ...... It's all your doing, right? ”
The girl slowly stepped into the hall under the gaze of a group of councilors, and continued: "I am just a female stream parasitic on the banker's house, how can I have so much energy? From the source of the poison to the people who poisoned it, the union should have found out everything, and all of them pointed to your good father...... And your good brother. ”
"Ahem!" As if to confirm the girl's words, a slightly gloomy voice in the corner added, "We have severely punished the corruption within the Knights. The Guild Knights are the executors of the glory of hunters, not the swords and guns in the hands of any force, and nothing like this will happen to the Knights in the future. ”
"Brother, ......" Shentu Miaoling stepped forward, but the second half of the sentence suddenly choked in her mouth. By the faint light, she finally saw the man's face clearly. Zhuang Dui's entire face no longer resembles a human form, and although the edges of his face can barely remain regular, the flesh on it is concave in pieces, as if a puff of mushrooms has grown and then been cut off one by one.
The toxins of the ancient dragon species finally eroded the entire face of the hunter, and the pharmacology of killing the dragon fruit was not to neutralize the toxins in the skin and flesh, but to melt the entire poisoned skin and flesh together, which was equivalent to stripping off a layer of Zhuang Dui's entire dough. The man's face was shriveled, only the area around the eye socket was fortunately unaffected, and from a distance, the eyes were raised high, like a demon crawling out of hell.
No matter how ugly the monster is, Shentu Miaoling can accept it if she asks herself, but when this face appears on the person's body, the girl only feels that a bucket of cold water is poured on her head, and the pleasure in her heart turns into a bad cold in a blink of an eye. She finally knew why the room was darker than usual - none of the councillors who were probably sitting on the four sides wanted to see the strange face clearly.
After a brief period of discomfort, the trainee hunter lowered his head and carefully looked at the titular elder brother: "I am relieved to see that your condition has been worse than mine these days. ”
"Cut...... Cough! I wanted to throw a mouthful of saliva on the itchy girl in front of me, but Zhuang Dui's breath didn't catch up, but he choked on himself, and involuntarily lowered his head and coughed a few times.
"The union wants to dig out more crimes of the dealer, and as a sister, I came here to persuade you." The girl whispered, "But I don't think it's necessary. Regardless of whether there is a challenge to the festival or not, the dealer will not be able to run away. Your cheap father and brother have abandoned you, and even an ordinary hunter can no longer be a good hunter. Shentu Miaoling's toes touched Zhuang Duan's left leg, and the crook of the leg that had lost its strength shook slightly, and the iron chain rattled, "You have nothing left, so you shouldn't have any scruples." The huntress brought her mouth to his deformed ear, "You have the dealer's blood in you, and you know what to do at such times." ”
"Give me a mirror...... After the audible silence of the pin, Zhuang Dui squeezed the voice out of his throat, "I want to see myself." ”
