Chapter Seventy-Two: Well, There's Nothing Going On......
(The sun is so nice tonight [drinking tea])
Gut is the leader of a bandit of thieves who collects money to do errands for people.
Unlike ordinary mercenary groups, most of the mercenary groups are officially registered liliang, and the tasks they accept are also limited. But their thieves theoretically will do anything for you as long as you can afford it.
- Even if it is murder and arson, as long as you can afford to pay for it, and it is within their ability, they will definitely take it.
And today's task they took over was to attack the Sage Tower at night to test how much hidden strength the Sage Tower had.
He didn't know who the person who hired him was, and he didn't need to know who the other party was, he only knew that the task was indeed within his acceptable range, and the price offered by the other party was enough to make him feel - 100,000 gold coins.
100,000 gold coins, which is basically equivalent to the money that their thieves have been burning, looting and doing all kinds of evil for more than ten years, Gute is undoubtedly tempted.
So, he led the masters of the thieves to the nest, infiltrated the imperial capital in the night, and sneaked in the direction of the Sage Tower.
What surprised him even more was that the strict guards on weekdays seemed to have no one who saw them at all, and all of them were directly allowed to go, which made him even more confident - this hired person actually had such a powerful Liliang that even the city guards could influence!
As for the Sage Tower's service to the people? What the hell is going on?
Among all the people he brought, he himself was a Dou Qi Master at the peak of the fifth level, and there were three Dou Qi Masters who were also at the fifth level, eleven at the fourth level, and even more at the third level...... There are eighty people in total, but they are all the elites of his entire thief group!
Originally, there were mages in the thief group, but due to the dark night, the magic liliang was weakened to the extreme, so they didn't bring it out together.
This liliang, I'm afraid that it is not something that an ordinary eighth-level powerhouse can do in a moment and a half if he wants to take it - and the sage tower that is already in the waning mountains can?
With full confidence, Gut was the first to infiltrate the Sage's Tower.
However, in the next moment, he suddenly heard a "poof" sound, which made him suddenly shocked! Someone has fallen!
"Hmph, it looks like he's still a little capable...... he snorted lightly in his heart, knowing that the person who fell was only a first-level cultivator, he was just secretly vigilant and didn't take it too seriously.
It's just that reality is often not as rosy as imagined.
I could only hear the sounds of "poof-" "poof-" and "poof-" one after another, and people kept falling, which finally made Gut's heart beat faster.
In the moment just now, more than twenty people fell, which was already a quarter of all the people he brought!
A quarter of them were killed inexplicably, but they didn't even see the appearance of their opponents or their methods, which made Gut's heart burn with rage.
"What the hell is going on?" He used a special method to pass the news to one of the deputies, and the deputies on the other side of Xiangshang soon came with three words-
"I don't know!"
No one knew what had happened, and those who had fallen had fallen without warning, and they had fallen all at once, and although they were still breathing, they were unconscious.
In a short period of time, more than ten more people fell, and now there are no more than fifty people standing!
Gut's heart moved: Could it be poison? If it is a poison, it can indeed achieve this silent effect.
And the best way to face the poison at this time is not to retreat, but to ...... Charge!
"Don't care about the people who fall, let me rush in!" Gut didn't care about it either, and shouted, "Kill it!" ”
If you retreat, the rear is likely to not know when someone has also arranged the poison, and judging from the fact that the other party poisoned himself without the slightest awareness, this is very likely!
But charging forward is different, unless the people of the Sage Tower don't want the tower at all, how can they still poison the place where they stay?
You must know that even if there is an antidote, there is still a process from poisoning to detoxification, and ordinary people have been seriously injured in this process.
- The Sage's Tower is obviously an acute poison that takes effect very quickly.
With Gut's order, the remaining forty or so people quickly charged inside.
And in the process, there were still people who kept falling, and when Gut rushed into the main entrance of the tower, he was shocked and angry to find that there were less than twenty people left with him!
"Get out!" Gut roared angrily, and the broadsword in his hand burst out with a slash of fighting energy, and the cyan fighting energy made a violent explosion in the air, directly collapsing half of the wall.
And then......
A large amount of green gas erupted from behind the broken walls.
Looking at the miserable green color, even if you think about it with the back molars, everyone knows that this is definitely not a good thing......
Gute hurriedly closed his breath with his fighting spirit in a hurry, but the dozen or so people around him fell another ten in this short moment, and now there are only seven people left!
"Damn! Is this the Sage Tower's use of such despicable means! "I haven't even seen a single person until now, Gut is irritable, and the group of people around him have closed their breath with a vindictive spirit, but they definitely can't hold on for much time.
You know, only a fifth-level Dou Qi master can reach the point of fine operation to make Dou Qi close his breathing, and some of the fourth-level peak can also do it, but no matter which one of them, it won't last long-you always have to breathe, right?!
However...... No one answered him at all.
Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, and the fresh air in his lungs became less and less, Gut finally had no patience to continue waiting for the appearance of the mastermind behind the scenes, and slashed towards the outer wall of the tower, wanting to break through the tower.
The moment the wall was broken, another stream of colored gas erupted from outside......
This time, though, instead of green, it's purple...... At the moment when the two colors of gas merged, the oxygen in the surrounding air was consumed in an instant.
And then ......
In the distance, a brick flew in and hit Gut in the back of the head, smashing him unconscious on the spot.
I only heard an old voice coming.
"Clean up the mess and beat people!"
Then, everyone lost consciousness.
When Gut woke up, he only felt that all the fighting spirit in his body was imprisoned, and standing in front of him was a beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
The girl's long silver hair flowed down like a waterfall, shimmering in the light of a magic lamp.
Those silver eyes seem to have the magic to see through people's hearts.
"Are you...... What people ......," Gut struggled to squeeze a sentence out of his throat.
The silver-haired girl looked at him with an idiot expression: "Sure enough, it's two goods, but if you don't have two people, you won't be used as a gun...... You are going to attack the Sage's Tower at night, and I am the master of the Sage's Tower...... Who do you say I am?! ”
Gut's eyes widened instantly.
