Chapter 153: Speculation
"We are risk-takers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 "How did you get attacked by these gnolls?" ”
Grian shook his head and said, "I don't know, these brutes have always been operating north of Sentinel Ridge, but today they are unusual. ”
After a pause, Grian continued: "Seriously, you really shouldn't have come here, except for the endless wilderness, the beasts and monsters that are wreaking havoc in the wilderness, and the Defia thieves have been making trouble recently, what are you doing here?" ”
Andy smiled and said, "We are adventurers, of course we are here to make money. ”
"Make money? There's no money to be made here! Grian frowned, he really didn't look down on these adventurers wandering in the wilderness, they had no force but couldn't serve the country, if it weren't for Andy and the two of them to relieve the siege, it would be polite not to blow them away, how could he say so much to them!
"There are no opportunities to make money here, not at all!" Grian glanced at Andy and said, "A word of advice, turn around as soon as possible, don't take your life on the line!" Monsters and thugs are not to be messed with! ”
Andy shook his head with a smile, looked into the distance and said, "That's not good, we're hired by people, how can we give up halfway?" ”
"Employed? That employer is not crazy, or he is deliberately sending you to death! Grian was starting to curse uncontrollably, "Doesn't he know what's going on here?" Hey, you're riding a war horse? ”
Grian's face was shocked, his eyes were aimed at Andy's and the two war horses, of course he didn't think that the military of Stormwind City hired them, it was impossible to come at all! He didn't know how much of a contradiction there was between the adventurer and the army, and when the conflict was fierce, a scuffle could break out.
The war horses of those two people must have been provided by some rich merchant or nobleman, and only they had the ability to get retired war horses.
Gerry Anxin thought that this employer was willing to spend a lot of money to hire these two people, which shows the strength of the two, but such people will only work hard for money, and they can't help but look down on Andy a little more.
Andy looked at Grian's changing face, knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't want to explain more, just smiled and said, "Thanks for reminding me." ”
Grian snorted, shook his head, and turned away, shouting at his men, and the recruits, that they must be rigorously trained, or one day they will all be killed!
"Why don't you explain?" Leila pouted and said angrily.
"Do you need it?" Andy smiled and said, "Since he misunderstood, let him be." Besides, we have more important things to do. ”
"What are you going to do? Swaggering to see Van Cleve? Leila asked, "I advise you not to be stupid, Van Cleef has changed, hatred has taken over his heart and controlled his brain, and it's good that he doesn't kill you!" ”
Andy glanced at Leila and smiled, "Kill me?" Why did he kill me? No one knew I was working for Stormwind, and besides, I wasn't going to meet him directly. ”
Andy paused for a moment and continued: "First, I don't know where he is hiding now, and second, as you said, what if he really goes crazy and kills me?" ”
Leila snorted out laughing and said, "I thought you really had the courage not to be afraid of death, it turns out ......"
Andy stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Lyra, interrupting her and saying, "Whether you have courage or not has nothing to do with whether you are afraid or not, I just believe what I see, from the very beginning I felt that there was something strange in dealing with Van Cleef!" ”
"Huh? Any questions? Leila had also heard about Van Cleef, and the masonry brotherhood was in full swing at the time, "His men killed the queen with stones thrown at the rally, and it was good that they didn't kill them all!" ”
"Most people think so, but the man who threw the rock didn't find it at the time, not even Van Cleef!" The smile on the corner of Andy's mouth was a little chilly, "In the end, Van Cleef just wants their wages back, and he doesn't think about anything, as for the final outburst, there must be a reason!" He has been in MI7 for so many years, it is impossible not to understand everything! ”
Leila frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean, someone pretended to be his subordinate in the crowd at that time, and the stone was thrown on purpose!" ”
"It should be not much different, those laborers are just ordinary workers, and there are no masters except Van Cleef, so why can a small stone kill someone?" Andy voiced his doubts.
"Then why didn't he explain the situation and not defend himself?" Leila said, "The order of exile was conveyed by Lord Bolval himself, and he could not have listened to Van Cleef's explanation!" ”
Andy shook his head and said, "At that time, I'm afraid no one will believe him anymore, and he must have been disheartened and broken at that time!" ”
Andy sighed and continued: "As for what the specific situation is, we have to let him say it himself, and our guesses are in vain." ”
"So where to find him?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find it, find a way to force him out!" Andy said, "But he's not the point right now, let's go see what those gnolls are like first!" Grian's self-defense army has not yet been built, and I am afraid it will not be able to cope with so many situations! ”
After Andy finished speaking, he pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed and followed the gnoll's escaping footprints, and quickly chased down. If the threat of the jackals is not removed, Sentinel Ridge will never be at peace!
Grian heard the neighing of his horses and looked out of his fortress at Sentinel Ridge, the two horses quickly disappearing from his view.
"Hmph, isn't this looking for death?" Grian muttered that if it weren't for Andy revealing that he was employed, he would have had the mind to recruit the two.
The gnolls moved very quickly, and after just a moment, they ran away without a human figure, leaving only a trail of running on the ground.
"A bunch of rubbish!" A loud roar made the bodies of these gnolls who ran back tremble violently, "There aren't many defenders there in the human race, so many of you haven't taken it, why are you coming back?" ”
"Boss, it's not that we don't work hard, there are two people on horseback, who directly washed us away from behind!" A gnolla cried and said, "And that male human is too strong, we are no match at all!" ”
"Hmph, waste is waste, send me all the manpower, and do my best to track down the whereabouts of those two people, I must give them some color!" A huge gnoll roared twice and ordered, "Sentinel Ridge can't relax there, I took that person's advantage!" ”
There was a roaring scream, and the surrounding gnolls suddenly dispersed, and only the huge gnolls were left in place.
Andy followed the footsteps of the jackal and chased it north for more than ten miles, but he didn't see a live gnoll, and he was extremely depressed, where did he go to find such a big wilderness?
He couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that this attack was really not deliberate?
"Leila, stop chasing, let's go back!" Andy greeted and said, "It's not getting early, we have to go back and rest." ”
Leila asked suspiciously, "Where to rest, do you want to go back to Sentinel Ridge?" But I think that sheriff is a little unfriendly to us! ”
Andy shook his head and smiled, "It's okay! "I'm just going to spend the night, can that sheriff still blow himself out? (To be continued.) )
