Chapter 15: Sniping
"Gentlemen, I don't know what you're trying to say, it's a private party, and you're not invited, I want you to leave immediately with some grace, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen here."
Looking at the group of laughing young people in front of her, the city lord's wife couldn't help frowning, they may indeed look much more handsome than the shabby young man before, but they are inexplicably disgusting, the lady doesn't want to lose her demeanor because of this kind of person, she still maintains her charming smile, hoping to use this peaceful way to get these people out of here.
"Dear Madam, we have no ill intentions, it's just that after a long day on the road, we need a warm bed...... Or a warm embrace? Of course, the former is not bad, but we will be very happy if you are willing to provide us with more, ma'am. β
When the leading young man said such a thing, even his companions couldn't help laughing, they might really be just passers-by here, at least in the city of Isern, there is no one who does not give her face, such a blatant teasing of the city lord's wife, in addition to having a solid enough backer behind them, can only be explained that they are just too ignorant.
"My dear, please don't reject us so ruthlessly, can you bear to watch such a group of handsome young people sleeping on the streets? Hurry up and let's get in. Madame said it clearly enough, but these young people didn't pay any attention to what she said, and still frolicked =δΈ=ζ¬=read=novelxstxt smiled and simply bypassed her and walked directly into the room.
Boom.
The lights in the corridor were a little dim, and the person walking in the front hit his head carelessly, how was this place designed, and why was there a wall in such a place? The young man cursed and prepared to go around the place and continue walking.
Boom.
He really thought well, but the wall also moved in front of him again with his footsteps, and the young man finally realized that what was in front of him did not seem to be as simple as he imagined, he raised his head and looked, a man standing in front of him who was as strong as a wall was looking down at him, obviously, this guy also did not know who was standing in front of him, he frowned rather displeased, pointed to Darius's nose and asked loudly, "What are you standing here for?" Do you think you can be a wall if you're better than me? Do you want me to hang a picture on you? β
"I'm sorry, madam, I should have come down earlier, I'll have a good chat with these people, please go upstairs to greet the other guests first."
"Huh? Who are you? We are looking for this beautiful lady, not you......"
What they said was not very convincing, and while Darius apologized to her, he threw these uninvited guests out one by one like a chicken, and no matter how much they resisted, they were useless in front of the opponent's steely arms, and with a few swings of their arms, these guys had been thrown out of here in the fastest way.
"Thank you so much for your help my dear Darius, just ...... Please be gentle with them, you know, I and the other sisters don't like that sound. Madame shook her head as she looked at the group of people who had been thrown out of the door, and she knew what was going to happen next, and she said with a smile before Darius could do it.
"I understand ma'am, then leave the rest to me." Darius was still accustomed to standard military etiquette rather than social etiquette, and while signaling his wife not to worry, he closed the door and walked up to the group of young men with his tomahawk on his shoulder.
"Hey big man, you probably don't know what respect is, it looks like you're an officer...... You people probably don't understand what respect is, so let me teach you first......"
After being thrown out of the room, the strongest of these people stood up first, he pressed the joints in his hands, as if he was ready to teach the guy in front of him a lesson, facing the man who was walking towards him, Darius did not move half a step at all, he looked at the ridiculous fool in front of him with a smile, perhaps it was such an expression that angered the young man, he strode up to Darius, and without hesitation punched him in the stomach-
"I ...... My hand, my hand seems to be broken, hurry up and get me a doctor or a medical magician......! β
In fact, Darius was not wearing any armor at this time, but for these people, they would not know how strong a brigadier general's body would be, for Darius, there is basically no essential difference between an ordinary person's punch and a tickle, just being punched by such a guy, he would never just let it go, without waiting for this poor guy to slow down, which hand that had just thrown him out grabbed his collar again, this time, he didn't feel too much pain, Darius knew that if he were punched like this, he would be bloodied, so he decided to treat him gently as his wife had requested, and easily threw him onto the roof of the three-story building opposite.
When he was thrown onto the roof, Darius noticed a small detail, his companions did not look in his direction, but looked in unison at the corner not far away, was there anything ......? Darius didn't feel the breath of someone there, and for the sake of safety, he didn't stand where he was, but pointed to the young man who had just taken the lead and said, "You, come with me, and the others will stand where I am, and if any of you dare to move, I will cut it off immediately...... Throw you up. β
Perhaps frightened by the scene just now, the few people who were still arrogant and domineering suddenly became a lot shorter, but they still did not completely lose the arrogance just now, the young man named by Darius continued the prologue with his head held high, while looking at the corner with puzzled eyes, although he didn't know what he was waiting for, but until he and Darius walked into the alley on the side, nothing happened, the young man deliberately cleared his throat, as if this could summon some courage for him, He looked up at Darius with some trembling heads, and still said with some pride, "Do you have anything to do with me?" Or are you scared of so many of us, so you want to fight me alone......
"Listen boy, if it weren't for the fact that this place wasn't suitable for killing, I can guarantee that you wouldn't be talking to me in that tone right now, but forget it, tell me who told you to do this......"
"Are you threatening me? If that's the case, excuse me......"
Syllable!
A slap slammed into the young man's face, this force made him turn in a circle in place, a mouthful of blood spurted directly from his mouth, and the young man, who was almost stunned, did not regain his sense of direction, and was once again carried into the air: "I guess you are mistaken about something, this is an 'order' and not a 'threat', all you need to do is answer my question, you don't need a word of nonsense, you idiot understand?" β
"Yes...... Black...... Rose. β
He's okay now...... aren't he? The few people standing on the street were already in a mess at this time, they were just wandering around the street just now, if it wasn't for the person who claimed to be sent by the Black Rose to entrust them to do this, they would never dare to talk to the city lord's wife like this, but when they were asked to do so, this person also said that if there was any problem, he would come out to help them as soon as possible, but why someone had been thrown to the third floor, but he refused to show up, damn it...... If he hadn't given him a lot of commission, they wouldn't have accepted this kind of commission, and just as they regretted it, a roar suddenly came from the alley, and they ...... What happened? Is he okay? Just as they were worried about their companions, a dark shadow suddenly flew out of the alley and knocked them straight to the ground.
After being yelled at, it was impossible for the young man to bear such a sense of oppression and faint to the ground, and before he fainted, he still clearly said the words "black rose", but ...... Black roses? Why are they here to provoke? Darius didn't think the kid could lie in such circumstances, but ...... Black roses? Do they still want revenge for what happened before? Or is someone trying to use this opportunity to sow discord between the two parties, which is already tense enough? Darius had no interest in caring about such an insignificant person, and he needed to return to the army immediately to report the situation, and then ......
And then......
In a hidden corner high in the dark night, a sinister gaze was looking at someone in the distance through the scope of the magic sniper rifle in his hand, his hand was steady, in the center of the crosshairs, aimed at a burly man with a tomahawk in his hand, he, like all the top predators, did not immediately take the life of the prey, but patiently and happily tasted the pleasure of playing with the other party in the palm of his hand, finally, the man in the scope seemed to be about to leave, and the hunter realized that it was time to strike, Unhurriedly, he adjusted the rifle to the position that was most comfortable for him, aimed it at the man's shoulder, and gently pulled the trigger.
There was no sound at all, Darius only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, he looked down and saw that the high-pressure magic projectile that had been shot from nowhere had pierced his shoulder, the stare in the shadows licked his lips, he was happy to see such a picture, and then, he would use his favorite way to kill the man who became his target.
