Volume 1: Through the Demon Race Chapter 3: Cup Bow Snake Shadow
At this time, suddenly a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and in an instant the sky over the whole of Britain was as bright as day, Sherlock turned around and looked up at the endless sky, a trace of emotion crossed his eyes, but it was so fast that people couldn't see it clearly, and the next moment it became extremely calm, like a waveless lake, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, and said: "It's going to change." ”
Edwina frowned suspiciously, for a while she couldn't understand why the other party suddenly mentioned this, a pair of beautiful and clear eyes without a trace of dust revealed a trace of incomprehension, just when she was wondering, the pouring rain poured down in an instant, and a lightning bolt like an arrow crossed the sky and tore the entire sky in an instant, shining the endless darkness at the moment as dazzling as day.
In the woods, a group of black-clothed men wearing masks with strange patterns on their faces galloped on the trail on black horses, as if they were chasing someone, and the leading black-clothed man had already opened his bow and arrows, and raised his mouth and said: "The Duke of Frank has ordered that the Assassin Quevedo Adrian who dares to assassinate Her Majesty must be captured, and there will be a great reward!" "The bone-chilling rain fell down like silver needles.
The sharp arrow with a powerful force, as if piercing the sky, shot straight into the darkness, and this time there were dozens of people from the Adrian family, who had been chased and killed by these cold-hearted men in black and fled in all directions.
Someone ran slowly and was slashed off by the black-clothed man who was assassinated behind him with a sword, blood splashed up, and the corpse fell forward and fell to the ground, and the head fell to the ground and rolled in muddy water, as well as more than a dozen servants who swore allegiance to the Adrian family, some were shot through the heart and fell to the ground on the spot, and some were cut in two by the long sword, and in an instant, the bloody rain, screams, and wails rang out.
Quevedo watched the tragic scene of the people of his family dying one by one, and his hatred for Frank seemed to be about to erupt from the Heavenly Spirit Cover with blood, and the anger in his body seemed to be full of burning walls and about to be wiped out, and he thought that he couldn't die like this, he must live, even if he died with Frank, he would avenge his people.
Thinking of this, he turned around and ran to the left, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the darkness and disappeared, plus it was already night, and the moonlight was blocked by the overlapping trees, and only a faint light shone through the cracks in the trees, so the men in black didn't see that Quevedo had fled in the other direction.
The bloodstained long sword was waved with bursts of cold light, and the next moment it fell mercilessly, a human head splashed with blood and flew up, these black-clothed people seemed to be red-eyed, slashing and killing along the way, and they couldn't care if the person they killed was Quevedo, and the bloodied forest looked like a hell on earth, even the dogs didn't let go.
At this moment, the group of black-clothed people saw a person wearing Quevedo's clothes desperately fleeing for their lives in front, and they didn't care if it was the real Quevedo himself, and they all opened their bows and arrows.
"Boom!"
In the darkness of the night, several long arrows were shot straight ahead, and the man in front was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows in an instant, and fell forward to the ground and died on the spot, none of the masters and servants of the Adrian family and the two dogs were spared, and all thirty members of the family died in the assassination tonight.
The news that the assassin of Her Majesty, Quevedo Adrian, had been killed by an arrow and died on the spot was spread the next day, and it was known all over the city, and Sherlock was shocked when he heard this, and looked up to observe Alfred's expression carefully, almost thinking that the other party was joking, but such a thing could not be a joke.
Then, looking at the chess pieces fighting together on the chessboard, the corners of his mouth raised a touch of coldness: "Framed, although this plan looks clumsy, but it is very deadly, a person who can't get it right, I'm afraid that even the person who comes up with this plan will end up with a tragic death, I have to say that the other party is also stupid, but he used this rotten plan to completely collapse the Adrian family, however, this will inevitably startle the snake, the more anxious he is, the faster he will die." ”
Edvina was stunned for a moment before reacting, and looked at Sherlock with some surprise in her expression: "You mean, the Adrian family was framed?" "I just think that medieval England is too complicated and dark, but there are many problems in the hearts of the people, in every country and in every era.
It's just that the aristocracy of the Middle Ages competed for power and status, and for the sake of status, they would ruthlessly eradicate dissidents and cut off the heads of their enemies without hesitation, but what is the competition for in the twenty-first century? Edvina didn't know, she only knew that now she was protected by Sherlock, there had never been a wound on her body, and her hands were not stained with blood, and she was many times happier than those so-called daughters.
At least she doesn't have to worry about inheriting the inheritance and other messy things, everything she has now far exceeds her in the twenty-first century, so she doesn't want to go back, she would rather stay here forever, remembering Sherlock's indifferent attitude when they first met, almost made her think that the other party was a difficult person to get along with, but in just a few days, his attitude towards her has changed drastically.
"Do you think that Quevedo Adrian would be foolish enough to challenge Her Majesty's authority? And he was caught so quickly, and it is very likely that the person who died was not the Duke of Quevedo, which is just my guess. Then he picked up a black king and kicked the white chess pieces down in the war, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise an extremely cold arc, "The game is really getting more and more fun." ”
Game? What kind of game is this, Edwina finds it more and more strange.
When the scorching sun was in the sky, the three of them took a carriage all the way to the northwest, and the streets were still overcrowded, but there were gradually fewer and fewer people, and in the end there was no one left, and it was simply more and more remote.
The sunlight was shining through the cracks in the trees, and Edvina really didn't understand that Sherlock and Alfred would choose such a remote path, and was about to speak, when the other side made a silent gesture to her: "The big fish is about to take the bait." ”
At this moment, a group of black-clothed people wearing masks with strange patterns on their faces rushed over at an incredible speed, and this group of people was obviously the same people in black who killed hundreds of members of Adrian's family last night.
Edwina saw through the back window that countless sharp arrows were shooting straight here, like a swarm of locusts, black and oppressive, people couldn't help but be frightened, and before she could react, Sherlock around her had already wrapped around her slender waist and hugged her whole person into her arms, and in a blink of an eye, the three of them had appeared on the branch sitting on the side, Sherlock looked coldly at the man in black who was still desperately chasing and killing below, a touch of killing intent crossed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth slowly raised a cruel arc
At this time, the group of archers opened their bows and arrows again, and in an instant, the sharp arrows shot straight forward, instantly piercing the whole carriage like a hedgehog, but the carriage showed no sign of stopping, and continued to move forward at a uniform speed.
"Shoot the arrows."
At this time, I don't know from somewhere, the young man's extremely cold voice came, and then, from a place not far in front of him, countless sharp arrows were shot, like a locust black and oppressed, into a dark night that covered the sky, the arrow shone a strange red light under the sun, obviously the arrow was coated with poison, only to see the sharp arrow shoot like raindrops towards the group of black-clothed people,
Those people were immediately shocked when they saw this, one of the three black-clothed people who ran in front was pierced through the heart by a long arrow, and the remaining two were pierced through the throat and died, and the other black-clothed people who ran behind saw this, their faces changed color together, and the long swords in their hands danced vigorously, and those sharp arrows were all cut in two, but several sharp arrows were shot into it, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of black-clothed people were all killed, and the blood stained all red.
"It's time to come down."
Sherlock looked at Edwina, who was still hanging on top of him like an octopus, and reminded.
Edwina had already rolled her eyes, foaming at the mouth and obviously fainted with fright, she couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and when she brought the people back, she found that there were hundreds of dogs, running for their lives in the depths of the woods, and there were countless hunters with shotguns in their hands, obviously trying to drive the dogs into the depths of the woods and then hunt them one by one.
Just when one of the hunters was about to shoot, a stone flew over, and hit his hand at once, and the shotgun suddenly took off his hand and flew out and smashed on the big stone behind him.
Several other hunters couldn't help but be very surprised, but there was no other person here everywhere, only to hear a terrible scream, the remaining seven hunters heard the sound, but found that a hunter for some reason, there was a fire on his body, the flames surrounded his whole person at once, a burning smell suddenly spread, the scream like killing a pig, people can't help but feel numb.
Several screams rang out one after another, and in an instant, there were seven hunters left, and there were only three left, which was really weird, and when the three turned around and wanted to go back, they found that several vicious wolves had appeared around at some point.
Sherlock watched all this happen with a cold expression, as if he was in a wonderful scene, and then, picking up Edwina, who was still unconscious, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Alfred raised his lips, "I'm just a deacon. ”
