Chapter 13: Acquaintances
"Oops!" O'Revan's pupils shrank, and he reached out to grab the chain, but his fingertips were about to touch, but he was swept away by an inexplicable force, and he shouted anxiously: "Renault, get out of the way!" ”
But how could it be possible to dodge this knife full of murderous intent in the state of Renault, in an instant, the murderous aura had torn his cloak apart, and the next thing was to pierce his head.
"Bang!" Renault closed his eyes for a long time before he opened a slight gap, revealing that O'Rewin was looking at him with a complicated expression.
He opened his eyes, looked back, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, only to see two chains sinking straight into the wall, rubbing his temples, only a few millimeters from his ears, and another one, Renault had to say goodbye to this world.
He swallowed his saliva and looked in the direction where the blade was flying, he knew in his heart that this situation could not be his luck, it must be the other party who stopped at the last moment.
He looked closely, only to realize that the figure in front of him was a little familiar, tall and muscular, black military uniform, long hair combed into a ponytail behind him, not counting the dark mask covering his face, the person gradually coincided with a shadow in his mind.
"Are you...... Joe...... Is it? He asked without confidence.
The man's arms flicked, and the two chain knives snapped back into his sleeves. He slowly took off his mask, his eyes locked on Renault's face, and his expression was inexplicable.
O'Rewin flashed back to Renault, saw him with a different face, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Renault also looked complicated, and said with a little embarrassment: "It seems to ...... It's acquaintances. ”
Suddenly, Renault remembered the name Joe had shouted during the battle earlier, and turned his head to look in the other direction, where the man in white was rolling on the ground with his legs crossed, cursing the street as he rolled.
His mask also fell to the side, and the moonlight shone down, isn't it the pervert who seems to be loyal.
Renault's face changed, and his instinctive fear made him move back.
"Tut-tut, I always feel that the current situation is a bit delicate, so it's better for you to talk slowly." Olevin pinched his beard, glanced left and right, and then decisively disappeared into thin air.
"Hey, don't leave me alone, uncle." Renault let out a wail, but immediately the howl came to his throat as he saw Joe slowly walking towards him.
"Huh...... Good...... Long time no see. Renaud smiled dryly, pretending not to feel the murderous aura rising above Joe.
However, Joe ignored him and walked straight to Ciel, who was rolling aside.
"Stop howling." The cold voice sounded, and Renault on the side shrank his neck.
"Is there any sympathy, is there no partner love, my leg seems to be dislocated, I am a wounded person, do you know!" Hill clutched his legs, his eyes sobbing in his eyes.
"If it's dislocated, it's connected." Joe didn't bother to look at it, turned around and left, and didn't forget to throw off the next sentence: "Waste." ”
"Hey, what do you mean, I'm hurt, or you go and kick that guy and try it, I don't know what that pervert is made of, it's so hard, I grew up eating stones." Hill spat out with a glossing face, and then, under Renault's shocked gaze, clicked his legs on, and then staggered twice to catch up with Joe's pace, and his expression didn't even change from beginning to end.
The two stood in front of Renault, against the shadow of the moonlight spread on Renault's face, the pressure on his face made people breathe, just stared at each other for a while, and Qiao's indifferent voice came faintly:
"Tell me what's going on."
"That...... Can I get up first? ”
"Sit and talk."
……
From Renault's mouth, the mercenary duo learned about his experience in the past six months, and Joe sighed that the boy finally took the path of the Star Spirit Wizard. In fact, he never gave up the idea of pulling Renault into his guild, but seeing that the young man had no intention of doing this, he had no choice but to suppress his words in his heart.
And they also explain why they are here.
It turned out that a few days ago, there was a gang of gangsters near this village, these guys acted extremely arrogantly, and they had ransacked several villages, and what was even more terrifying was that these guys not only made money, but also killed people, and the chickens and dogs of the attacked village were not left. Fearing that they would be the next victims, the head of the village asked them to guard the village and eliminate the rogues.
"That's ......" Renault pondered for a moment after hearing this, and asked with a little suspicion, "Is it just the two of you who have such a serious incident?" ”
Hill on the side smiled and asked, "Renault boy~, you can't believe our strength." ”
Renault was stunned by his eyes, but fortunately, Joe spoke up in time: "Of course, it's not just the two of us who came, the others are lying in ambush in the forest west of the village. The two of us are just responsible for protecting the 'bait'. ”
"Bait?"
"That's right, didn't you notice that the village is a little too quiet, and a few of us live in the village chief's house so grandly, and the village chief doesn't say a word."
Hill explained with a little excitement: "The village chief and most of the villagers have moved to a safe place, and those who remain are young people who have volunteered to contribute. After all, we want to give those miscellaneous people the illusion that everything is normal in the village, and when they arrive, we will attack them inside and out, and kill them all, hehehe, kill them all~"
Reynolds has grown accustomed to Ciel's occasional runaway of control, and at the mention of fighting and killing, this well-mannered guy immediately exposes his perverted killer nature.
"Speaking of which, are those guys strong?" Renault asked.
"It's hard to say," Joe was unexpectedly cautious, "At present, it seems that these guys are only attacking civilians, and the strongest combat power among the victims is none other than a retired martial artist, who once joined the battle guild, but his strength is average." ”
"That's right," Renault mused.
"It sounds like just a bunch of vicious gangsters, why do you have such serious expressions?"
Joe glanced at him with a cold gaze: "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, haven't you heard this sentence?" Being careless will only make you die faster. ”
"Besides," a hint of complexity flashed across his face, "according to the intelligence, these guys are a little wrong. ”
"Something is wrong?"
Joe was silent, as if hesitating. But Hill didn't care: "Tell him, anyway, he can join the guild sooner or later, whether it's the Wizards Guild or the Mercenary Guild, the information of this kind of crusade mission is shared." ”
Joe sighed, "Forget it, you're already involved anyway." ”
He said with a straight face: "What kind of place is this, you should know clearly, bordering the 'Wasteland Coast', which is almost the most inhospitable area, what kind of bandits, would rob such a place?" ”
"When you think about their no-nonsense style, we suspect ...... It has to do with the Dark Guild. ”
"Dark Guild?" Renault exclaimed.
