Chapter 10 The Garden
On the west side of the Pole Palace in Hansar City, there is a separate annex dedicated to entertaining foreign guests, but the guests who live in the annex are not official state guests, but personal friends of the royal family
After the incident a month earlier, the king's oatmeal field rescued several young men and women who had half their lives left, and when they heard about it, they were placed in the annex to recuperate from their wounds
Two soldiers were guarding the entrance to the garden, and they chatted in boredom
Hey, do you know who lives in the garden?
I don't know if you don't allow others to enter casually, and if you are so curious, why don't you ask
That being said, don't you think it's strange that those men were brought back from the oatmeal fields in the northern suburbs on the day of the upheaval, and you think they could be the culprits of this disaster
Don't talk nonsense, they had attended a state banquet in the palace before that day, and if they were really the culprits of the disaster, His Majesty would have been so courteous, they would have been killed or thrown into prison
In fact, who knows what's going on, anyway, these people are weird, let's take precautions, I won't treat them as friends
If we were enemies, would you two still be alive now?
A cold voice that suddenly appeared in the air made the two soldiers lose their spirits, and they looked in the direction from which the voice turned, but they were even more shocked: the speaker had unknowingly put his head less than 10 centimeters away from them
The two Assassin soldiers reflexively stepped back as their hands pressed to their weapons
However, the speed of this unrestrained guest was beyond ordinary people's expectations, and he had already expected the two soldiers to react, and suddenly took a step forward, opened his bow left and right, and pinched the two long swords in his hands, and the two soldiers could not pull out half of their long swords
You...... You...... Only then did the two soldiers notice that the intruder was actually a thin black young man who looked younger than them
Okay, get busy, Joyka let go of the two soldiers' sword handles, and then grinned into the garden amid their stunned eyes
I haven't been back for almost ten days, and the air here hasn't changed at all, Joika is standing in the middle of the garden in the annex, breathing in the air
Suddenly, a figure shot out from behind a large stone pillar behind Joika, and Joika felt a bone-scraping wind blow in his ears, and at the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a long crimson shadow rushing towards his vital point
Joika quickly rolled over, jumped in the air and spun in a circle, perfectly dodging the sneak attack - only then did the whistling sound of the sneak attacker jumping from behind the stone pillar came
Well done, Ray was still a little close, and Joika smiled at the sneak attacker, and at the same time lowered her body and rushed forward, and at some point there was already a long sword in her hand
Ray also smiled, and waved his spear to separate Joika's long sword with a bang, and the powerful impact force made Joika involuntarily take several steps back
Isn't that a little close, Ray smirked his head at Joyka
Sรจ just now that made you look good Joyka raised her long sword diagonally and rushed towards the thunder again
The loud clash of metal resounded throughout the palace, and the two soldiers guarding the door outside were also overwhelmed by the fierce fighting
You said there would be something going on inside
I don't know if that person just now wasn't one of the guests staying in the annex
Did they start a commotion?
No, if something happens, none of us can afford it, you are here to guard me and report to my superiors
Good
Just as the two soldiers had just finished dividing their labor, the fighting in the garden suddenly stopped, and the two soldiers looked at each other, and now they didn't know whether to report it or not
In fact, the battle was terminated entirely because of the intervention of a third party, and at this time, whether it was Joyka's sword or Ray's spear, it was covered with a thick layer of ice
Early in the morning, the 'jingling' didn't let people sleep, and more than ten meters away from the two of them, I don't know when there was a fat man in pajamas and sleepy eyes
Yo hey, it's not your brother who is so bored that he is itching and pulling me to play with him for a while, Joeyka hey smiled and walked towards Cassius, that hand was good just now, fat man, it seems that you are recovering very well, and you are completely healed so quickly
There is still a long way to go before he is completely healed, Cassius said: You warriors are injured at most, but we magicians are injured at the same time as mental power, and it is much more difficult to recover from injuries than injuries, so the recovery speed of mages after injuries is much slower than that of warriors, and now my mana may only recover less than sixty percent of the normal state
You're fast enough to freeze my and Ray's weapons so quickly
That's not all, Sophia's healing magic is too magical, if I could recover so quickly in normal times
By the way, Sophia, why didn't I see her?
She should still be in Owen's room, next to Ray replied
Oh, Joika raised his eyebrows, and Owen hasn't recovered yet, but this guy has been soaking in the dark elf's blood pool for more than a month, and his ability to recover himself is stronger than that of ordinary people
Cassius shook his head: Joyka really didn't understand how severe Owen's wounds were, whether it was an injury or a mental injury, it could be healed, but Owen's injury was much more than that, his soul was injured much more than that, and it was much worse than ours
Soul wounding sounds scary
The three of them sat down together under a tree
Yes, Cassius said that in the battle at the top of the tower, Owen used a forbidden technique that he could not control, so that his soul was severely damaged, and you are not here these days, so you don't know that Owen's heart has been in sudden arrest 12 times as of last night, and if it weren't for Sophia's day and night restoration of the function of his heart, he might not have been able to hold it a long time ago
Oh, Joika's poisonous tongue kung fu regardless of the occasion has started again, isn't it just a little more serious, so that you can get the meticulous care of our beauty Sophia day and night, which is really jealous and envious
Don't just talk about other people's Cassius asks Joyka, where have you been all these days
Got into a fight, Joika said with a wicked grin
That's not all, Cassius said, I heard that you smashed a casino last night and injured more than 20 people, you guy, healed the scars, forgot the pain, and the body has just recovered, how can you do some troublesome things
Hehe, our most upright Cassius Master, is really angry...... Indeed, not only these, Joyka suddenly changed into a stern expression, I tell you, ten days ago, I felt that my injuries were almost recovered, so I went to the city to do some activities, when I walked into the Bounty Hunters Guild to see if there was any eye-catching new information in the world during the days when we were recuperating from our injuries, but there was not much valuable new information, and I found myself being secretly watched
Surveillance Cassius and Ray asked in unison
That's right, and it's against me, I don't know who these people are, but I'm sure they don't know that I've been living in the palace annex, and in order to find my whereabouts, they've been waiting for me to come while the Bounty Hunters' Guild waits for me, and Joyka Kiyokiko continued, Since these people don't know that I used to live in the palace annex, then I can't bring them back here, so I booked a room in a hotel outside. During this time, I observed the strength and rules of action of these monitors, and I found that they were mediocre, and through the observation of their lips, I learned some of their conversations, and it turned out that this group of people was not only spying on me, but also wanted to kidnap me, as if they wanted to get something out of my mouth, so I have been pretending to be depressed and mentally depressed all these days, just to create an opportunity for them to think that they can successfully kidnap me, only then can I go deep into the lair of this group and see what their purpose is
Then what do you have to gain, Ray asked
The young bounty hunter took a ball of paper rolled up from his pocket and turned it open: Look at what I have learned
It was a map of the city of Hansaw, and the location of the signs of each building was very precise, but the two brothers, Cassius and Ray, were always laymen, and they looked at each other at the same time, and then looked at Joyka inquiringly
Was it like last night...... Then Joyka went on and on about what had happened between last night and this morning
After listening to Joyka's oblique statement, Cassius also thought about this matter: Hiring a mercenary group is not a small amount, this is not the same level as the cost of hiring a bounty hunter, who would be so wealthy to hire a mercenary group to kidnap a person
Joika: You said that the leader of the gang is called 'Khunbu Ambuston', right, but Ray inadvertently dug up some clues from a detail, brother, do you think this name is familiar
Khunbu Ambston is indeed familiar...... It can't be him, Cassius also thought about this familiar name for a while, Joyka, you can tell me about that person's appearance, age, body shape, and other characteristics
And what kind of weapon does this person use, and what are the characteristics of his combat skills, Ray added
What do you know about this person, Joeyka was a little surprised by Cassius and Ray's reaction, and he hurriedly told the Cassius brothers in detail what he could recall about Rumbu Ambston in detail
The brothers listened very attentively, and even asked Joyka to use the sword as a saber, imitating Humbu Ambuston's moves, and fiddling with them for a while
Brother, I'm sure that Queenbu Ambston that Joika met is the same Ray we know
If it was him, it would not be surprising that he had said that he would go to the Kingdom of Vimumen as a mercenary that day, and Cassius nodded in agreement
I said, you two, don't give me a dumb riddle, okay, Joyka interrupted the conversation between the two brothers, and tell me what you know about who this Humbu Ambuston is
This Rumbu Ambston had fought Ray before, and he had met Ray a few months ago on his way back to the Snowy Federation, and that's a long story...... Cassius then briefly told Joicka about the fact that he had been on the ship that day, pursued by the ruffians of the Baug Guild in Port Vila, captured Khumbu Ambston in battle, and gave him money to help him become a mercenary in the kingdom of Vimumen
After roughly figuring out the ins and outs of what happened, Joyka showed a look of surprise: Oh - so that's the case, it seems that this guy is not very lucky, he met you and me one after another, but since you know this guy, it seems that the information he knows can also be more easily obtained
Didn't you let him go, Cassius asked a question, Hansand City is so big, how do you find him
Joika smiled and took out a glass bottle from her bosom and opened the cap, and a bee flew out with a buzz
Tulip Bee Thunder blinked
Yes, Cassius said, I almost forgot, you're a bounty hunter, but finding people is your forte
Of course, Joyka laughed and said that I could find him at any time if I wanted to
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of messy, hurried footsteps in the garden of the palace annex.......
