Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mischief
The top of the bell tower was littered with the remains of spiders that were broken but still trembling slightly, and the disgusting bodily fluids of spiders that were splashing everywhere. Although these poisonous spiders, known as the "Ringed Iron Tarantula", are dangerous and ferocious, in front of their battle-hardened companions, a swarm of spiders with an empty numerical advantage is simply not enough to see.
"Anyone who has been to the barracks will be targeted by these spiders? How is that possible?" Alice was skeptical of Joika's judgment.
"You can go and ask him. Joika nudged a half-bald, middle-aged veteran forward, "Tell them how you're different from everyone else." ”
Among the four tower guards, this veteran was the oldest and the highest. During the battle against the spider swarm just now, among the seven people on the tower, only this veteran was not attacked by the spiders.
The veteran who was forcibly pushed forward by Joyka was at a loss for what he meant, completely unaware of what Joyka meant by "different".
"Tell them, didn't you stay in the barracks at night?" Joika sneered.
"I, I, I ......" the veteran squeaked, but he didn't dare to explain.
"Let me help you answer. Every night, you leave your duty, sneak out of the barracks, run into the brothel, hold a body of warm nephrite, and spend the spring night together. Joyka said with a wicked grin.
"No, you, you're talking nonsense!" the old soldier was frightened by Joika's words, and quickly denied it.
"Don't get away with it, the smell of bad perfume on your body betrays you. Joyka put her arm on the veteran's shoulder, pretending to be close.
As soon as these words came out, the old soldier's eyes were dizzy, and he took two steps back, almost falling.
The other three soldiers were also surprised when they heard the conversation between the two of them: "Sergeant Major, you said that you have back pain, so you let us take the post every night." It turned out to be because ......"
"It's over, it's over. Joyka pressed forward and added, "I heard that King Duris's army was very disciplined, but this happened. If you can do it, you can either rely on your qualifications to hide it from your superiors, or you can get the tacit approval of your superiors. However, judging by the reaction of you and your colleagues, it should be the former. Do you want me to tell your lord about this nonsense?"
Joyka's words were like a blade, slashing at the veteran's heart. But after all, at his age, he had finally seen a lot of the world, and the veteran knew that what Joyka had just said was shifting the focus, so he also behaved "righteously and solemnly" and said: "Who are you? You were the ones who made a big fuss at the city gate and broke into the barracks yesterday! What qualifications do you gangsters have to talk nonsense in front of us, let alone think that you can help me!"
When the other three soldiers heard the sergeant major say this, they immediately became alert and glared angrily at the three of Joyka. They had completely forgotten who had rescued them from the poisonous spider's jaws, only who had knocked them down and tied them up while they were guarding the tower.
"What if we do it?" said Joyka noncommittally, "what can you do?"
The four soldiers, including the veteran sergeant major, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they heard Joyka say this. This is the difference in strength, even if you know that the "villain" is right in front of you, but with the strength of these four soldiers, you can't do anything at all, otherwise you won't be easily subdued.
Sophia finally couldn't stand the awkward situation of the soldiers being forced by Joyka, and she stepped forward and comforted the four soldiers: "It is true that we spent the night in your barracks without your permission, but we are not villains, let alone your enemies......"
"Only now is it!" added before Sophia could finish speaking, and Alice behind her preemptively added. As a revert, she was always clear about where she stands.
"Trust me. Unaffected by Alice's "troublemaking", Sophie continued, "We are here because we have received information that someone is going to assassinate your king. ”
"What?" the four soldiers shuddered at the words.
"Therefore, if you want to save your king, do as we say. Joyka picked up.
......
Watching the distant figures of the four soldiers gradually disappear into the winding streets, Joyka shook her head lightly and said, "I didn't expect Sophia to let them go so easily." ”
"Didn't you want to do that a long time ago?" said Sophia, smiling a little subtly, "You deliberately revealed the details of that sergeant major just to deter him so that he wouldn't resist too much. ”
"And what are we going to do next?" Alice waited for Sophia's order.
"You and Joyka stand by for now. ”
Sophia's gaze never took her eyes off the slum in the fire. Without waiting for the two companions to agree, Sophia had already turned the spatial teleportation ring in her hand.
......
When the dazzling pink magical light faded, there were only two people left at the top of the clock tower. Sophia's arrogance made Joika and Alice a little laughable.
"She wasn't like that before, who is responsible for her 'mischievous' style?" Joyka said to Alice knowingly.
"Yo, who else do you say?" replied Alice.
Both of them knew who they were talking about, and they looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Suddenly! The smile on Joyka's face froze, and his face became very ugly.
"What's going on?" Alice quickly asked, sensing Joika's abnormality.
"Alice. You're here on standby, and I have something to go out for a while. ”
Without waiting for Alice to agree or disagree, Joika grabbed a rope tied to the clock tower in advance, quickly slid the rope down, and soon disappeared into the deep alley.
"Alas......" Looking at the empty clock tower, Alice felt "abandoned", and couldn't help but shake her head and complain, "It's like this one by one, who is more reckless? ”
......
Joeyka weaves his way through the alley. Although he was not familiar with the streets of Hansar City, with the feeling of "being called" in his heart, he quickly found his destination - or rather, the person who called him.
It was a closed tavern, with no clerks or customers, and the tables, chairs, and cutlery were neatly tied, but across from Joyka, in the bar, there stood a beautiful girl dressed in costume, smiling at Joyka.
"I thought it was you. Joyka lowered her bow that had been taut, confident that there was no need to be fully armed in front of the girl.
"You're really a man who has a bit of a lot of experience, and you've only been separated from others for a few days, and you can't wait to get a new love. The girl smiled and deliberately made Joyka feel her jealousy.
"So what? You're not my cup of tea, it's better than you to find any girl outside. Joyka sneered at each other without any regard for the other party's feelings, and did not have the same words as she used to treat girls.
"It's heartless. The girl said angrily.
"Because I know there's no need to waste any time on you. With that, Joyka looked around the tavern, "Then again, this is the stronghold of your Truth Society in Hansar City." Christina, you didn't just bring me here to make love, did you?"
"Hey......
Christina smiled knowingly.
......
Alice, who was "abandoned" by a person on the clock tower, was bored looking at the city street scene outside. Suddenly, she heard a "whoosh" sound, and a short sharp arrow shot at her......
