Halfway through, the unconscious Bill came to his senses,

“…… Ahem, Yang Shou? I'm a human and a ghost now......"

"Can you talk, if you're a ghost, won't Danny and I hang up with you?" Hearing Bill's weak voice, Yang Shou smiled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

“…… What's going on? ”

Bill was a little distracted, and after a while, remembering the scene before he fell unconscious, he hurriedly asked, "How is Chang, his daughter ......?"

Yang Shou interrupted Bill's words: "Lord Caroline already knows about this, but in my opinion, the chances are slim. ”

Bill couldn't help but be silent and sighed heavily.

In fact, when Bill saw Adjutant Liu appear, he somewhat guessed that it would be this kind of ending.

"Danny, you go to the city and gather the people from the boot camp, as well as Bill's friends, and ask them to come to the Ivy Tavern, where we will meet." Yang Shou turned his head and instructed Danny word by word.

"Huh? Not going back to the barracks? "Danny was surprised, at this time, the people who went back to the barracks to find Lord Caroline were the safest.

"I can't go back to the barracks, the way we are now, it's easy to be honest." Yang Shou shook his head and said.

Danny nodded as if he didn't understand, and ran away quickly.

The veteran Bill heard the meaning of Yang Shou's words, and asked, "How many people did you kill?" ”

"Four, with a scarface." Yang Shouyan said succinctly.

Bill was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, then sighed and patted Yang Shou on the shoulder: "If they find you in the future, you will say that I killed the person, there are common things ahead, and they don't dare to force me too hard." ”

Yang Shou smiled, did not respond, and walked faster.

However, when he ran around a corner and saw the scene on the street, Yang Shou's footsteps couldn't help but stop.

There are many war horses in front, and the blades are like a forest.

Caroline sat on top of her steed, explaining something to the knight beside her. After being reminded by Jane beside him, he immediately turned his head and saw Yang Shou carrying Bill on his back, as if he was killing a god.

"Click~"

Caroline galloped on her horse, came to Yang Shou and jumped off the horse. Looking at Yang Shou, who was covered in blood, Caroline's expression was grim, and she had obviously guessed something.

"Is the injury serious?"

"I can't die, but I need to rest." Yang Shou bared his teeth, and his snow-white teeth reflected the blood stains on his face, which was particularly dazzling.

Caroline hesitated for a moment and beckoned to the knight behind her, "Let them send you back." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Yang Shou didn't say much, took a step, and passed by Caroline.

"Has anyone died?"

Caroline's voice came from behind, Yang Shou was stunned, and tilted his head slightly: "I think, I shouldn't be able to live." ”

Caroline's brows moved slightly, looking at Yang Shouyuan's back with a complicated expression. After a while, he ordered: "Jane, you take someone to follow the traces back and see if you can find the body." ”

"Yes!" A group of cavalry immediately took the order and galloped towards the other side of the alley.

……

Jane stood beside Caroline, her face not very good.

For any girl, it must not feel too good to see a corpse full of leeches and still twitching.

Caroline frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Are you sure that the father and daughter were killed by the people of the personal guards?" ”

"The father died on the spot, the daughter disappeared and has not been found, according to the recruit who came to report it, it was the scarface who led the team,"

Jane nodded, and while speaking, her hands subconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt, and there was anger burning in her eyes: "Moreover, after Bill was carried back to the tavern by Yang Shou, he refused to be visited by our people, whether he lived or died, I don't know." ”

"What about the four men in the crypt?"

"Dead...... Master Thomas seemed angry. ”

Speaking of this, Jane felt a little relieved in her heart, maybe Yang Shou did the right thing, compared to what happened to the two fathers and daughters, what was this kind of torture that Scarface suffered?

In fact, now, Caroline's mood is about the same as Jane's, if not worse.

Are these really the soldiers of the Empire, wantonly killing civilians, kidnapping young girls in the streets, and even destroying corpses?

What about the knights who regarded glory as their lives and regarded the defense of the country and the people as their noble mission? Could it really be the same as Yang Shou said, this empire has already begun to decay?

He didn't take Yang Shou and the others back to the barracks before, but let them return to the tavern, perhaps because he had already determined something in his heart.

"Whew...... Let's go, go to the Ivy Tavern. ”

Looking out the window at the gradually gloomy sky, Caroline sighed softly, but her tone was full of determination.

However, they didn't go far downstairs when they met someone who surprised them.

"Miss Caroline, what a coincidence,"

Viscount Thomas was dressed in a decent silk robe, and greeted Caroline very gracefully, "I'm about to go to the city to check the defense, why don't we go together~"

Behind the personable Thomas, there stood two rows of heavily armored soldiers, with neat armor and sharp swords.

Caroline frowned slightly, suddenly a little worried in her heart, not knowing what was going on at the Ivy Tavern.

……

Tonight's Qingteng Tavern is more lively than ever, because it has been chartered by soldiers, to be precise, dozens of recruits from the new barracks, and nearly a hundred fierce veterans.

The rum and fruit on the counter were all gone, and two oak barrels were placed on each table, and the sweet liquor pulp was gurgling out, and everyone drank glass after glass, and it was like drinking all night.

At the same time, there was a line of heavily armed guards standing at the gate!

These people had grim faces, especially the two military discipline officers standing at the front, and their cold eyes scanned the people in the tavern, especially when they saw the figure sitting at the bar, their eyes were even more gloomy.

Yang Shou sat at the bar, ordered a cream cookie, and tasted it leisurely.

In his field of vision, in the lower right corner of the skill panel, the words "Remaining Skill Points: 1" are flashing with a charming shimmer.

The treasure of the Secret Knight gave Yang Shou 25 points of experience at one time, which directly increased the total experience value to 70% of level 3, plus the level of the four people killed before was all higher than Yang Shou, so the experience gained was not expensive.

Yang Shou came to the Qingteng Tavern and arranged everything before he found out that he had risen to level 4.

Unfolding the skill panel, Yang Shou raised the cross swordsmanship to the level of 5+1, and then if he wants to upgrade the swordsmanship, it will cost 2 skill points, and the pressure of upgrading will increase sharply.

Level 6 Cross Sword has an additional special effect.

"Refinement Skill (Level 1): Increases the character's movement speed +5%, strength +0.5, agility +0.5, and sword qi thickness by 5 cm."

Starting from level 6, each time the sword skill level increases, the effect of the "Pure Technique" will be enhanced. The bonuses of different swordsmanship can be stacked, which is one of the benefits of the swordsman class.

The waiter brought Yang Shou a large glass of beer, and Yang Shou said thank you, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that the waiter's body was a little too tall.

"Boy, you're not doing that, are you?" Barkley held the bar with both hands, like a wall poking in front of Yang Shou, and said angrily.

Yang Shou took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's not good to take care of your business?" Our brothers have a good amount of wine, and you don't have to close the door to your cellar. ”

"I'm welcome to consume you, but what's going on with those people?"

Barkley pouted at the door and said angrily, "We've only known each other for the first day, so there's no need for you to give me such a big gift." ”

"That's not what I'm giving you,"

Yang Shou smiled mysteriously, leaned closer and said, "Did you take the thing, that elephant clan elder should be very interested~"

Barkley saw Yang Shou's smug face, and immediately snorted angrily, but his eyes were full of joy.

Yang Shou guessed correctly, as soon as Yang Shou left the Qingteng Tavern this afternoon, Barkley rushed to the City Lord's Mansion at the northern outpost with the piece of paper.

In this small city, Barkley has a lot of connections, and many people in the City Lord's Mansion are frequent visitors to the Ivy Tavern, so it is not difficult for him to enter the City Lord's Mansion.

Originally, Barkley was just thinking about trying it out, and by the way, he was close to this high-status elephant elder. But what Buckley never expected was that the other party was shocked when he saw this piece of paper, and his attitude was very solemn, and he immediately proposed to meet with Yang Shou!

What the hell is this kid drawing?

You must know that in the Orc Kingdom, the status of the Temple Elder is almost equivalent to that of the Earl of the Human Empire. Why did Yang Shou make Elder Bobby pay so much attention to this?

Buckley was puzzled, and the elephant clan elders were also silent, refusing to reveal the slightest bit of information, which made Buckley's heart itch terribly.

"Poppy-sama offered to meet you tonight,"

Barkley whispered, turning his head to look at the guard at the door, "I just don't know if you have time." ”

Yang Shou smiled and nodded, without saying more.

The picture painted by Yang Shou is the essence of the Wild Heart, which others don't know, and it is impossible for Bobby, who is a priest of the Orc Temple, not to know.

Back then, the three dragon knights deceived and robbed and brought the wild heart out of the temple, which was a great shame for the orc kingdom, and those in the know all received gag orders, and only a few people knew the details of the incident.

Yang Shou, a human being, actually knows the appearance of the wild heart, and can also point out the dragon knight, so naturally Bobby can't pay attention to it.

Barkley hated Yang Shou's mysterious appearance, and snorted disdainfully, but he still couldn't help but point to the soldiers in the tavern: "Although it's none of my business, are you planning to mutiny?" ”

"Mutiny? No, no, no, I'm a young soldier who has just joined the army, how can I have this ability. ”

Yang Shou smiled, looked back at the people behind him, and said lightly: "It's just that there are some things that must be figured out and clarified." ”

The door of the tavern was pushed open with a "squeak", and the young medic Danny passed through the ranks of the pro-guards, quickly ran to Yang Shou's side, gasped and whispered: "They found the body half an hour ago, and now Adjutant Liu is bringing people over." ”

"Got it, you can go rest for a while." Yang Shou patted the other party's shoulder and smiled.

Within a few minutes, there was a loud "clang" at the door, and two guards in heavy armor rushed straight into the tavern, drawing their swords in their hands, and the momentum was menacing.

Adjutant Liu followed him in, his face grim.

Looking at the young man with his back to him, Adjutant Liu had a feeling in his heart that he had never felt before.

Half an hour earlier, he had seen with his own eyes the corpses of the four soldiers, or three corpses, one skeleton.

Scarface's corpse had been gnawed so clean that there was no brain left, and when everyone arrived, all that was left was a skeleton crawling with leeches, and the wriggling worms terrified everyone who saw it.

Before he died, Scarface apparently struggled desperately to break free from the stone on his body and crawl onto the shore, but unfortunately it was too late, and in the end he could not escape the fate of becoming the food of the leech herd.

Seeing the blood stains and water stains left at the scene, it is not difficult to think about the torture that Scarface suffered at that time, and it makes people palpitate when they think about it.

Adjutant Liu shook off the pictures in his mind, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Recruit Yang Shou, I am on the orders of Lord Thomas, and I will take you to the City Lord's Mansion for questioning!" ”

Even Adjutant Liu himself didn't realize that he spoke to Yang Shou in a much more solemn tone, and he no longer regarded Yang Shou as an ordinary recruit.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the tavern immediately became a little eerie, the noise disappeared, and people put down their glasses and turned their heads to look at the door.

was stared at at by more than 100 fierce men at the same time, many of them were fierce veterans who had experienced the battlefield, even if Adjutant Liu was already mentally prepared, he still felt a little tight.

"Adjutant Liu, don't be so formal, Lord Thomas said a word, I don't have to run over right away?"

Yang Shou smiled, turned around, and said sincerely: "But today's situation is a bit special, I am injured, the doctor said that it is not suitable to move around, if you have anything to say, just say it here." ”

As he spoke, Yang Shou patted his thigh, which was tied with a blood-soaked red bandage, which looked a little miserable.

Danny is not as thick-skinned as Yang Shou, and when he heard Yang Shou's words, his expression was a little unnatural, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he quickly lowered his head, afraid that others would see something wrong.

In fact, this bandage was used by Captain Bill before, and when Danny changed Bill's dressing just now, Yang Shou took it himself and tied it to his thigh.
