Chapter 896: Ufrik's Vigilance
Outside the city, seeing that the main city was already alarmed, the Lord Hakang sighed softly, what he wanted was to attack the palace of kings by surprise, instead of being discovered at the door! If he is found out at this time, the price is too great for him!
Thinking of this, his gaze slowly moved to Dacula on the side. With a slight movement of his mind, a bloody light had lit up in Haakon's fingertips.
Dacula on the side had a loud alarm bell in his heart, but before he could react, he felt a sense of collapse coming from his body. Immediately, his eyes went dark, and he slowly fell to the side......
Wind Helmet City, the undercurrent that had been surrounding the north gate of the inner city slowly receded, and they had just received an order, and one by one they slowly moved towards the side gate of the inner city of Wind Helmet.
The side gate is located to the west of the inner wall of the Wind Helmet City, and because of its remote location, it is usually rare for people to approach the city from this place at night. Even if there were, most of them were commissioned by some people in the inner city to do things that could not see the light. It was already the middle of the night, and the two guards were leaning against the edge of the city and pausing. No one will come at this time. As guards of the side gates, they are very clear about their duties. That's to come and stand here for a day every day, and when it's almost dark, you can make soy sauce, play cards and sleep or something, as long as you're not unlucky enough to be discovered by Lord Ufrik. That's right, Lord Ufrik. Other people who can control these guards rarely pay attention to this side door, and the guards who are transferred to this place are generally retired and pensioners.
The firelight danced slowly in the night wind, stretching the figure slender. One of the two guards at the door quickly fell asleep, leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest. The guy could fall asleep standing like this, and his companions could even hear a slight snore from his mouth and nose as he slept.
It's been another boring evening...... The sober guard looked at his companion who had fallen asleep, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and sighed often. He felt that he should be grateful for this life, guarding the door in this place, the war was already behind him, he just had to show his face every day and do whatever he wanted. Even now, he would have no problem running to Honey and the Poet for a few drinks and coming back.
......There was a sudden sound of flapping wings in the corner, and the guard turned his head to look over, just in time to see a flock of birds flapping their wings and flying out into the night sky. This...... What breed of bird is it? Actually active at night? The guard looked suspiciously in the direction in which the birds had disappeared. But soon, he came to his senses. After a few years of living like this, he had already lost interest in the things around him, and he had seen them a thousand times, and he had long been tired of them.
The guard's attention was drawn to a flock of birds that had taken off late at night, and when he turned back, he found a figure standing in front of him for some time.
"You ......" the guard was about to speak, to call out to his companion, but as he spoke. His gaze also matched that of the person in front of him who suddenly appeared in front of him. At this moment, he only felt that the world was spinning. My consciousness seems to be sucked into the red eyes of the person in front of me! The guard's voice weakened after just one word, and he just looked into the eyes of the person in front of him in a daze, and only came back to his senses after a few breaths. It's just that at this time, his eyes are already pitch black, and any high-level mage can feel that this guy is being controlled.
The guard's companion sat straight against the wall as if he were asleep, snoring from time to time, and had no feedback on what was happening. And here, after the guards were controlled, he slowly turned around as if sleepwalking and walked to the gate in front of him. The opening of the side door is not as cumbersome as the main door, as long as the key is used. As it happens, this guard happens to be the keeper of the side door key.
The door opened, and several figures poured out of the darkness around them. The light of the torches sprinkled on these figures is difficult to illuminate. It's as if their bodies can absorb the light. And what's even more bizarre is that from beginning to end, the guard who fell asleep against the wall didn't feel the slightest feeling, still in a dream, and smacked his lips from time to time, obviously dreaming of something beautiful.
in the palace.
Ufrik looked at Gamma who turned to go out, and somehow his settled mood became restless again.
What the hell is going on? He took the towel wet with cold water from the attendant next to him and applied it to his face. Is it really that you are thinking too much? But no matter how much you think about it, you shouldn't feel so restless......
Remember the last ...... When was the last time you felt this way? It seems like when I went to the Blackwater fork a year ago? At that time, I was so restless in my heart, but I don't know why I was able to force that anxiety to reach the destination. The initial restlessness was due to the unknown danger waiting for him in front of him, and that time to the back was indeed the case, although in the end it was still a good thing, but he was arrested by the Imperial Legion and almost sent to the guillotine!
So...... And this time?
The cold feeling suppressed Ufrik's agitated feelings a lot, and finally brought his train of thought back to normal. He slowly rubbed the towel and thought carefully.
So this time there is danger too? But now he is sitting in this palace with a good look, and there are hundreds of elite guards outside who can be used by him at any time. What are the dangers of yourself? Could it be that someone came to attack and wanted to assassinate him? Thinking of this, Ufrik first thought of Efcis, if it was to be assassinated, it is estimated that only the woman Efcisis would make such a decision, right? After all, the current Eastern Realm is a very critical party for both the Snow Man Collar and the Half-Moon Collar, after all, he Ufrik also belongs to the human race, and Ufrik will definitely not stand idly by when they are really facing annihilation. But...... Was Epsis really being pushed to a hurry? According to the information that has come so far, Evosis's side has been entangled by the snow elves and the oathbreakers, and even if she assassinated herself, she would not have the energy to control the eastern realm.
The cold feeling slowly disappeared, and Ufrik felt the restlessness in his chest rush to his brain as he left. He rudely threw the towel aside in his hand, then grabbed the container of water in the attendant's hand with both hands and plunged into it fiercely.
Wait, I'm really stupid, now that I'm sure that someone is going to be unfavorable to me, it's good to defend myself with all my might, shouldn't I be thinking about that guy after guarding against this wave first?
Thinking of this, he raised his head directly, and the cold water at the tips of his hair poured the attendant holding the basin to the heart. Ufrik didn't care about it, and turned his head directly to the two guards at the door and said, "Blow the alarm!" Right away! ”
