Chapter 321: Riding the Dust
Astoride is dead, paying the price for her greed, for her lust for power. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She should have died in the fire, but at the last moment, she thought through a lot of things, she knew that she could die, but the Brotherhood couldn't be in her hands. Some things have to be passed on, and some things still need to be explained. So, she chooses a way to deceive Akel and uses a ritual that protects her, the person who prays the ritual, until the ritual begins and the mission is accepted......
The salty sea breeze constantly beat Dacula's face. The only good thing about the White Land Sanctuary is that it is by the sea, and he can see the sea at any time that he has not seen before. But this is also a drawback, the chill of the white ground and the sea breeze make it difficult for this cat man with thick animal hair on his skin to endure this extreme weather.
"Shh Dacula suddenly gave a whistle.
"Click-and-......" suddenly remembered a string of horses' hooves from under the undulating sea.
The sound ......of the horse's hooves drew closer and closer, and finally, with a long neigh, a horse shrouded in shadows with red eyes rushed out of the sea. The beast snorted twice before stopping in front of Dacula. This is the Dark Brotherhood veteran who has served the Brotherhood for generations, the Dire. It can only be summoned at the Black Spring, the Sanctuary of the Half Moon Collar, but can be summoned for the first time in all places where there is water. In this world, since there is no plot to hunt down Cicero, it is only at this time that the horse is handed over by Asthord to the plot Dragonborn Dacula.
Without superfluous words, Dacula turned over and got on his horse.
"Where are you going? Listeners? Cicero looked at Dacula, who was about to leave, and suddenly asked.
The cat-man's eyes looked at him, and the clown only then noticed that the cat-man's slender pupils, which were supposed to be in the sun, were already rounded at this time.
Mother said...... The ritual has begun, and the mission will continue......" adjusting his mood in a trance just now, Dacula replied. "And...... We want revenge! ”
"What about us?" The big black Nazr also came up and asked at this time.
Dacula suddenly realized at this time that he seemed to have unconsciously become the backbone of this group, although there are only three members of the Brotherhood besides him, but these three people are the only ones who look forward to themselves.
"Babette went to Morningstar to inquire about the current news, Nazr, please go find Wei Xu of the Half Moon Collar and negotiate with him, we can do something for him, but please allow us to go back to our sanctuary in the Half Moon Collar...... The White Land Sanctuary has been abandoned...... "Dacula felt like he had broken free from some shackles at this moment, and the hatred he had caused for Wei Xu because of jealousy had disappeared. "As for Cicero...... You will continue to protect your mother, and when the news from Nazr comes, you will protect your mother and return to the half-moon to receive ......"
In the eyes of others, the cat-man's originally round pupils regained a thin slit. In the middle of the tone, the previous wooden tone disappeared, and the greed and desire for money belonging to the cat people also dissipated.
"As for me...... I went to find Amund with the mare to hang the flag, and the ceremony ...... Go on! Dacula looked far to the south, in the direction of Snowy City. The Night Mother said that Armond was there, the same one who had prayed and issued the mission......
The dark night is the most panicked time for wild travelers. Wolves, saber-toothed tigers, and many ferocious beasts are most fond of ambushing passers-by in such nightfalls.
However, as the center of the city, the Mare Flag Lodge is the place where all travelers get drunk and die.
"Dada...... The "Ta Da ......" came on a horse, waking up countless residents who had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Hey! Horse racing is forbidden in the city! I order you to stop! Several guards saw the menacing people under the darkness of the night in advance, and they shouted loudly, directly closing the main city. In non-war times, the gates of Snow City will not be closed.
"Humph!" The rider snorted coldly, and the unusually fast black horse under his crotch had no intention of slowing down.
......As he approached the gate, the horse stood up and ran up against gravity, and in two or three steps, he jumped into the city.
"Dangdangdang...... the bell of the guard rang, and all the guards who changed guards, as well as the guards who had fallen into a deep sleep, all got up and gathered towards the square.
"Bang ......" With a loud bang, the gate of the mare's flag was kicked open. The lively atmosphere inside is condensed.
The cat-man in the black cloak strode in and walked to the innermost room, where the mare hung the flag in the most luxurious room.
"Your Excellency...... There is a ...... in this room, and the attendant wanted to remind this uninvited guest that there was a distinguished guest here, but in the middle of his words, he was glared back by a fierce look from the cat man.
"Who?" Amund, who was planning to escape from the bedroom because the assassination of the emperor was revealed, shouted angrily and looked towards the door.
At this glance, his body trembled instantly. Isn't this guy in front of him the cat man who went to assassinate the fake emperor? He...... Shouldn't you be killed by that guy from Hawkeye? Could it be a resentful spirit that came out of the soul mound?!
Before he could get his legs weak, the guy was lifted up by Dakula's throat.
"I ...... I...... You, don't kill me! I didn't know that before! I was wronged! Don't kill me...... I beg you! I have money! I have a lot of money! The frightened Armond stammered, kicking his feet around. Inadvertently, he shook out all the coins and treasures in his arms and scattered them all over the ground. At this time, the previous cat people would definitely pick up all the ones with their eyes shining, but the current one didn't lower his eyelids.
"The contract continues, saying, Emperor, where is the officer named Marlowe?!" Maybe it's the guy's hallucination, and the cat-man's voice feels much more eerie to him.
"Ah...... Indenture...... Right...... Our Covenant ...... If you kill me, you won't get the contract money! I say...... Marlowe is now sent to guard the Eastern Empire Corporation's port in Dugu City! And the old emperor ...... The old emperor is on a ship in the center of the lake where the harbor is located! Amund's eagerness was already incoherent.
The cat man took a deep look at the employer in front of him, and after confirming that there was no deception in his eyes, he let go of his hand and walked out without looking back.
"You!" As soon as he went out, he slashed down with a sword, which was the sword of Armond's guard, who had just gone out to go to the toilet.
The cat man didn't hide, just a short body, and the vision of everyone around him became dark for a moment. By the time the cat man reappeared, the figure had already appeared behind the guard...... The dagger in his hand curved gracefully glowed with blood-red.
"Poof...... blood splattered on Armond's face, who had just poked his head out of the door.
"Eh, aren't you the big cat who claimed to be a dragonborn who escaped last time?" Before the body of the guard hit the ground, a palm rested on the cat-man's shoulder, and at the same time, a woman's voice rang out. "Let's have a fight."
The cat man didn't speak, just a short body, and in an instant everyone around him fell into an instant darkness again. The black mist vanished, and as Udegael the Indomitable searched for a trace of the cat man, a dagger rested lightly on her neck.
"I am, Dacula Dragonborn! Don't call me a big cat! Woman! A voice rang in her ears at the same time. The meaning of the big cat is actually the same as saying that the elf has long ears, and there is a certain derogatory meaning in it. However, the cat people don't feel much about these dejorative terms compared to the elves.
When the dagger around Udegar's neck disappeared, she turned around and saw only the back of a man departing in a cloak......
Step by step, Dacula stepped on everyone's heartbeat, stepped out of the mare hoisting the flag, turned over his horse, and ran in the direction of the city gate. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill that annoying woman, but the two use of the Shadow Fighter's abilities had exhausted Dakura's physical strength, and finally he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers......
"The whole city is blocked, and the guy who broke into the city at night must be found out!" At the head of the city, the garrison shouted loudly.
"Sir!" An adjutant suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" The garrison officer looked at the subordinate who had disrupted his conversation.
The subordinate lightly pointed in the direction of the city. The garrison officer looked out of the city very unpleasantly, and when he turned his head, he only saw a horse riding away......
"That's the one who just broke in......" In my ears, the adjutant's voice also came at this time......
