Chapter 129: Gold and Blood (I)
In the carriage of the train, Delano tells the crowd what he and Jeanne had seen at the auction after dropping down the clothes he had bought.
"This situation is indeed somewhat unexpected, and we must find a way to save Yelena from those demons." Vicchirico gently bit her index finger and paced nervously back and forth in the carriage.
"I thought you two would be able to leave after you two bought your things...... Are you sure you don't see any acquaintances other than the little girl? Cooper said with his arms folded around his chest, and it was obvious that he was inevitably a little anxious.
"Not yet, but it's obviously impossible to rush in and snatch Miss Yelena, it's heavily guarded and avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible." Jeanne calmly recalled the environment of the auction and said to the crowd.
"We don't need to fight those guys, as long as we can get into the auction, we can get a chance to get Yelena out at any time."
Draenor took pen and paper from the box and spread them out on the floor, sketching out the surroundings of the auction. When he restored the bell tower, it seemed that something suddenly came to mind.
"Jeanne, have you ever seen an object like a clock appear in any of the places where the Licus live?"
Jeanne pondered for a moment before replying to Draenor: "It seems that there has been, our time sensing ability is very sensitive, and we generally don't need any time signaling tools. ”
"That's right, it means that the people who lived in that town weren't the Lycos at all, they had a keen sense of hearing and couldn't stand the screeching of the bell, which is why the bell was tied up." Draenor found a breakthrough in this rescue operation, and he stood up and commanded the crowd,
"Vicky, Jeanne, and I will hide their weapons and go to the auction site, and we need Vicky to rescue Yelena when I get the attention of those people. Jeanne climbed up the bell tower to observe the situation, and if it got out of hand, let the bell ring.
"The auction will be held at night, which is very bad for Cooper, you need to stay on the train and as soon as you hear the bell and drive towards the platform without the slightest pause, we will find a way to meet up there before the train arrives."
Draenor gave detailed instructions to everyone, and everyone's eyes shone with determination, and this operation was inevitable!
Jeanne and Vicchirico followed in Draenor's footsteps towards town. Vicchirico wrapped gauze around her conspicuous curls and wrapped the spear tightly with black cloth like a straight cane.
Jeanne and Draenor kept their previous attire, and although they were only acquaintances, the guards were already familiar with the existence of the young master, and let the three of them enter the city without too much elaborate questioning.
The three of them reached the entrance of the church, and Draenor opened his pocket watch, where the hour hand was pointed exactly at seven o'clock.
"We followed these men in, ignoring the guards around us, one of them had brought me in before, and I could sneak in without a pass. Remember, hold your breath and proceed cautiously. ”
Draenor's words were inexplicably familiar to Viklico, and this time it seemed that it was finally his turn to admonish herself.
Just as the sunlight began to dim, the doors of the church slowly opened, and the crowd finally began to pour into the church under the announcement of the host.
The stained glass of the church cracked a few cracks, and the sculptures that had been placed around the church were moved somewhere, leaving only broken ankles and dust on the marble stone platform.
A chandelier made of human bones hangs in the center of the church, and it is clear that it was made not long ago. Coupled with the human bone furniture he had seen in the bazaar earlier, Draenor couldn't help but think of what a certain writer in the Britton Kingdom had said - "Hell is empty, and demons are on earth." ”
"These guys have really unique tastes, isn't it a bit too bad to choose such a church as an auction venue?"
Before Vicky could finish speaking, Draenor covered her mouth.
"Shhhh Are you afraid that you won't be able to find trouble? Listen, Yelena will be the last to appear as the finale, and we need you to stay there and delay a little time, and then run with her to the station when I open fire, where Jeanne and I will meet you. ”
Vickyli was so cognizable by Draenor that she could barely breathe, and quickly nodded before taking a few breaths.
"Gentlemen! You've been waiting a long time, but next up is the first auction item of the night, the lost jewel crown of a Canaanite king! ”
The first light on the booth came on, and a crown encrusted with gems appeared in front of everyone, and under the orange light, the egg-sized gem emitted a charming emerald green glow, and it was not difficult to see that such a richly decorated crown could only come from the island nation of Britton in western Canaan.
Vicheric hurriedly pinched Draenor's thigh before he suddenly woke up from his intoxication, "Look, I'll give you my one when I get back to Nikanlos!" Hurry up and get down to business! ”
Draenor blinked a few times, turned and walked out of the church door on the left side of Jeanne.
The courtyard was deserted, surrounded only by withered and unformed plants, and it seemed that only the area around the main gate was firmly guarded. Jeanne looked around for a week, then turned and jumped onto the ledge, climbing nimbly up the reliefs on the church wall.
Draenor moved the cart full of sand to the side of the church wall, and then climbed up with Jeanne.
"Mr. Delaenor, please hold on to my hand."
Jeanne crouched down on the lookout and stretched out her arm to Draenor, who was not as fast as Jeanne, but at least able to climb twenty meters above the ground with his bare hands.
With Jeanne's help, Delaenau was able to gain a foothold on the lookout, a height high enough to see the desert stretching into the distance, the sun's rays shining on the earth, turning the shadows of all things into black satin.
He looked back and saw through the broken windows an unobstructed view of the auction room.
"This will cover Vicky's rescue work, you continue to go up and wait for my orders on the bell tower."
Jeanne nodded, holding the dagger to her lips and climbing towards the bell tower.
Just as he watched Jeanne leave, he suddenly stepped on a peeling stone brick under his feet, and he quickly leaned forward to maintain his balance, and fell from this height with his back to the ground, even the fire of white refining could not protect him.
"Whew, now it's time to wait for the right time."
Draenor let out a long breath and slowly crouched down, pulling the modified sniper gun from behind his back for the final checks.
With three rounds of ammunition in the barrel and plenty of crystal powder in the reaction box, he slowly turned the valve to the "first gear" position, and everything was ready.
He knew that leaving the glass case where Yelena was being held would only make things worse if he handed it over to Vekily Coco, and he needed to seize the opportunity to make sure that he could shatter the glass without hurting Yelena.
Draenor slowly rested his muzzle on the metal window frame while balancing, and carefully observed the auction through Cooper's scope. One or two, as the auction items continue to be exhibited, this evil transaction is gradually coming to an end.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the goods that have been photographed before will bring you great pleasure. So finally, allow me to present to you the finale of this auction – Princess Elena! ”
The glass case finally appeared on the stand, and the church resounded with the cheers of the crowd, and these greedy wolves could not wait to turn the once high princess into their humble slave.
The host turned the glass case to show Yelena to the crowd, and Draenor could see the metal keyhole at the bottom of the cabinet, a single bullet was enough to shatter it, but because the cabinet kept turning, he didn't have a chance to aim at the keyhole.
Cold sweat slid down Draenor's forehead, he couldn't keep his composure, if Elena was sold as a commodity like that, he would spend the rest of his life in endless guilt.
Suddenly he thought of something, and put his thumb against the Mind Stone and said, "Vicky! Find a way to stop that thing! ”
Draenor's thoughts crossed Viklico's mind, and she glanced at the inconspicuous figure in the side window.
"I do my best."
