Chapter 14: The Wanderer 2
The road was bumpy, and the carriage quickly stopped.
Sevi, Yuke, and Renson escorted the rangers and disappeared into the dense forest beside the road, following Jue, Galo, and Jin, while the carriages and horses were not easy to enter the forest, so they were left on the side of the road, and Elke was in charge.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Han Qingluo took off the oil lamp from the carriage and followed.
After a short hike, an abandoned wooden house came into view.
Lighting a candle and standing on the windowsill next to the corner of the house, the whole dark wooden house instantly became alive.
Han Qingluo didn't like the dark, so he lit a few more candles, until the dim light took care of all the corners, and nothing was missed.
The Wanderer was specially invited to sit on the only stool in the room, flanked by the seemingly unsmiling Yuke and Renson, and behind him stood a silver-haired man who scared him, Sevi.
I was really worried that the guy would stab him at any time, so he didn't dare to move, and sat down in a proper manner, like an honest man who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
And in front of him, Jue and Jialuo, who were also standing with a very oppressive momentum, and Jin, who looked at him poorly, the only woman who was not threatening, Han Qingluo was busy lighting the light, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.
It seemed that he was waiting for Han Qingluo to finish lighting the candles, and all the blood clans in the wooden house were waiting quietly, and during this quiet time, the psychological pressure on the wanderer was the greatest.
He didn't know what this strange group of bloods and humans was trying to do with him, saying that it was the bloods who had persecuted them in the past, and they didn't kill him immediately.
Guess it's a group of perverted bloods who are looking for fun, and they are so patiently waiting for a human to light the lamp, and they have not done anything unimaginably cruel to him, nor have they been expected to be terrifying.
"I guess you must have a lot of questions, don't worry, you'll know the truth soon!"
The micro-expression on the thief's face was captured by Jue, and when Han Qingluo stood up with the last candle, he spoke out first to appease the captive of the unknown situation.
The wanderer raised his eyes and looked at Jue in surprise: Is this thousand-year-old blood clan with purple and gold eyes lowering his vigilance? Then he pretended to obey and said, "Yes, my lord! β
He has been in the troubled times for so many years, and there are too many things like giving sugar first and then sticks, so he won't believe that these weird guys have any good intentions.
"If I say we're here to help you, will you believe it?"
At this moment, Galo, with his hands clasped around his chest, spoke to the wanderer with what he thought was sincere.
The thief's gaze fell on Galo, a male bloodline with ill intentions written all over his face, just like those villains who clichΓ©d, and said without thinking, "Believe! β
But the frowning brows in an instant had betrayed his true thoughts: I believe you are a ghost, you are a bad old man, very bad!
"Where is your Revorno's holy weapon, where is the ghost lamp?"
Jue knows that this kind of guy likes to be clever and talk in circles, rather than wasting his tongue here, it is better to go straight to the point.
At the mention of the holy artifact ghost lamp, the wandering thief's pupils shook, and the relief that had just appeared on his face fell instantly: "I don't know!" β
"Demons, I'm sure you've heard of this title, right?"
Jue took a step forward, his cold eyes staring at the thief from top to bottom, and the thief had to look up at him, and began to tense up because of this extremely oppressive posture.
The ink-haired bloodline in front of him was very accurate, he had heard the title of the demon clan, and he had also received the news that they had recently killed his own clansmen.
Don't?
They are the legendary demons!
The wanderer felt that his soul had been greatly impacted, and he didn't want to be beheaded and end his wandering life tragically!
He twisted his face and hurriedly prayed: "Demon lords, don't kill me, I'll say anything!" If it weren't for Renson and Yuke to control him, I'm afraid he would have been on his knees by now, kowtowing miserably and begging for mercy.
Sevi, who couldn't see it, slapped the back of his head with a palm, looked at the wanderer with an idiot's contempt, and scolded in a disdainful tone: "Where did you see that we are demons?" Is there such an extraordinary and good-looking demon clan? β
The thief shrunk his neck and looked at them with a wry smile, as if he remembered that the legendary demons were unified in black robes, and the group of blood clans in front of him were dressed quite normally, not like demons!
But, it's not a demon, why are you arresting him?
"It's not a demon, who are you! If you don't kill me, and torture me here, I'm just a simple little thief......"
"We are the guardian team established by the alliance of the Demon Party and the Secret Party, in order to stop the conspiracy of the Demon Clan, so I found you, I'm sorry to invite you here in this way, I hope you don't mind!"
At this time, Han Qingluo took a step forward and approached the thief with a peaceful attitude.
ββ¦β¦β
The wanderer tugged at the corners of his mouth, and quickly repeated her words in his mind, this human being in the blood clan heap surprised him very much, and he could still speak, it seemed that his status was not low.
"Your Levorno's trace is already erratic, and there are often persecuted blood clans that persecute you, so we are very vigilant, so we have taken abnormal measures to invite you to come, this is related to the future of the entire blood clan society, please cooperate with us!"
Han Qingluo didn't care about his non-response, and continued to talk about his own, and if he didn't get in the oil and salt, others wouldn't be as good at talking as her.
You thief lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and only resignedly tentatively said, "You really didn't come to harm me?" β
"Of course!" Jue motioned for Yuke and Lenson to let go of the rogue, "We're asking you to help." β
"Uh......" The thief's eyes wandered, and he was a little wary, but with the current situation, it seemed that he really didn't have to die, and they didn't come for their money and crimes.
"My name is Jue, and I'm from the Demon Party!"
At this time, a slender and strong hand appeared in front of the thief, and he looked at it, and there was no emotion on Jue Gujing's face.
The thief hesitated, and finally stretched out his hand and held Jue's hand, with an unconcealed surprise on his face: "You, hello, my name is Edward." β
"If you cooperate, then you have the right to know everything."
Jue let go of his hand, it seems that this gentle policy has worked, this guy is easy to take care of by that cunning Zack.
Immediately after that, Edward was really like their accomplice, listening carefully to the ins and outs of everything, as if he had been brainwashed.
After hearing all the evil deeds of the demons, Edward clenched his fists angrily, and when he found that there was nothing around him, there was nothing for him to vent his anger.
Glancing at the "companion" next to him a few times in embarrassment, he resolutely stretched out his palm, and the force of the fist was reduced by a few points, and finally touched the palm and made a faint blow.
Then he was indignant and said: "This demon clan is simply too hateful, making a mess of this world!" Speaking of this, he thought of the gambling house that would be closed in the future due to the disturbance of the demon race, and he became even more angry, and continued, "You dare to touch us Revorno, dream!" β
Looking at Edward's exaggerated performance, a room of guards looked at each other, are all their Revornor bloodlines wonderful?
"Alright, alright, Mr. Edward, don't be angry, it's important to deal with the demons at the moment, don't let the holy weapon fall into their hands!"
At this time, Han Qingluo interrupted his self-performance.
"Yes!" Edward nodded approvingly, thinking that they were open and honest with him, and that he should also share the information he knew, so he continued, "Speaking of demons, do you know? Recently, they have been mutilating our people, and the patriarch contacted the representatives for a meeting yesterday, so I wonder how they are going. β
Edward, who was still sighing alone, didn't notice a room full of Blood, and his face changed dramatically because of his words.
ββ
The night is getting darker.
The guards chasing the thieves had long since been closed.
The whole city, where the noise retreated, returned to silence once again.
On both sides of the street, the walls of the buildings are hung with dim lights, adding a sense of security to the city at night.
The city shrouded in tranquility seems to be asleep with the night, but in fact, there is a creature moving in the dark corner.
It's not just the blood clan who live on the night, but also a group of thieves.
After the patrol leaves, a group of thieves disperses, infiltrates the target's home, and easily collects the finances.
In a remote housing gathering area, a thief "made a successful retirement", climbed down the street from the second floor, held up the heavy loot in his hand, and his face was irrepressibly excited.
He detoured the patrol line with ease, and made his way through the alleys and alleys to reach their base camp.
However, when he just stepped into the alley where the base camp was located, a strong and strange smell of rust rushed into his nose, and the deeper he walked into the alley, the more intense the strange cold aura that inexplicably hit his body.
The thief swallowed in fear, picked up the belongings in his hand, and quickened the pace of his feet.
But after walking to the door, the uneasiness in the thief's heart intensified, and the door that should have been closed was now half-hidden, and he shivered and tentatively pushed the door open.
The pungent smell of rust rushed into his nostrils, and he really understood - what kind of rust smell this was, it was the smell of blood!
He was startled, his grip on the door was not steady, and he took a step forward, the sticky-wet feeling was too obvious!
The thief glared, took a step back, and the uneasiness and sixth sense in his heart told him, run!
As soon as he turned around, he was confronted by a dark "wall".
The unknown appearance of the inexplicable made the thief scream unexpectedly and fell to the ground.
When he saw clearly, countless black figures were already surrounded by him, like ghosts, gathering towards him.
"Don't touch him!" Suddenly, a hoarse and thick voice sounded, and a tall black-robed man walked out from among the many figures and spoke, "He's the last, don't be greedy, stay and ask something useful!" β
"Yes!"
After a while, a demon guard came out of the base camp of the thieves.
He lifted his wide robe and put it to his lips, made a wiping motion, then walked over to the leader and whispered a few words in his ear.
The leader raised his head, and under the moonlight, the terrifying face showed a cold smile, it was the Demon Saint King Stark.
He stared at the moon hanging in the night sky, and sighed with empty eyes: I have finally found your whereabouts, Jue......
The thief caught by the demons happened to be the unlucky guy who was caught by Jue and them a few days ago.,He told all the details of the recent situation.,And also said that during the day,When I was squatting, I encountered a lone wanderer being chased down.γ
This is the thirteenth thief killed by the demons, and they are glad that they finally asked for a little useful information, and it was not in vain that they spread their nets to investigate the major cities.
"The old rule, if you burn it, don't leave any traces!"
Stark raised his hand and left with the large army, and then instructed the holy envoys beside him: "Inform the other holy envoys, converge!" β
"Yes!"
After speaking, the holy envoy dodged and disappeared into the night.
Not long after the demons left, thick black smoke drifted out of an inconspicuous alley.
