Chapter 822: Infiltrating the Thieves' Den
(Twelfth Update~!)
The next day, it seemed to be agreed, Long Yu didn't go out, and Filina didn't go out, the two finally sat face to face and ate breakfast together, still eggs, sausages, bread, milk, two people sat in the empty restaurant for the first time, Filina took small bites, licking her lips from time to time to prevent breadcrumbs from hanging on it.
Long Yu is different, two mouthfuls of an egg, meat sausage is also swallowed in a few bites, and the bread is also devoured, which is not like being hungry, but more like having a grudge against food.
"What did you mean by that last night?" asked Filina, holding the milk cup in both hands, and asked softly. "What words?" Long Yu asked vaguely as he stopped chewing for a moment. "You said you were going to kill the poisoner?" Filina asked cautiously, blinking her eyes.
"Hmm" Long Yu nodded, "So, do you know who put the poison? Why don't you..." Why don't you stop him? I don't have the power to stop him. Long Yu pulled the cloth that wiped his mouth, wiped it casually and was about to get up and leave.
Filina looked at him like a wounded hedgehog, and immediately said urgently: "I didn't mean that, I was asking why you didn't tell the palace guards, they are still searching for murderers all over the city." "I don't know where that person came from, I didn't even see his true face, but I remember his voice, this person, I must kill him with my own hands~!"
A trace of gloom flashed on Filina's face, and she said softly: "The poison released by that person can't even be dissolved by the sect master, isn't it very dangerous for you to kill him." "I can't stop his poisonous mist, but I can kill him~!" The voice sounded a little angry, and then, Filina heard a heavy sound of the door closing, and with a "bang", Filina's heart also beat.
Looking at the food on the table helplessly, Filina crossed her hands and said in a daze, "Why can't you understand what I mean?" Coming out of the room, Long Yu ran straight towards yesterday's venue, those people are not one or two, but like an organization, they must be plotting something, in this case, there will definitely be something left in the venue.
He couldn't save those who died, but the people who released the poison, Long Yu insisted on killing him, but, it backfired, when he arrived, this place had been blocked, although the priests of the temple purified it overnight, but no one dared to guarantee whether there was any residual poison, the poisonous fog was so powerful that it became a nightmare for many people, and even the palace guards guarding the periphery had a solemn face, as if they were going to die happily.
Hearing that Amst was still sitting here, Long Yu dispelled the idea of sneaking into the venue, Amster's feeling to Long Yu was still unfathomable, and there was no need to make trouble for himself at this time.
Since you can't get inside, Long Yu is wandering around the periphery of the venue, this is outside the city, and the population is extremely sparse on weekdays, although the venue is set up here, but except for the main road, there are few people on the wilderness on both sides.
I don't know if there were too many souls yesterday, or the sky was also cold, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, and after a while, the earth was covered in silver, and suddenly changed its appearance, aimlessly spending its steps in the wilderness, and those who dared to take a walk here may be the only one who dares to take a walk here.
"Huh?" Long Yu's heart moved, thinking that he had misperceived it, his divine sense swept again, Long Yu's heart moved, and there were human energy fluctuations on this empty wilderness, Long Yu immediately threw an invisibility spell on himself, and disappeared into the vast silver world.
After a long time, a black figure suddenly jumped out of the white ground, the figure looked around cautiously, and quickly ran away into the distance, Long Yu saw it right, the person was wearing the same style of cloak as the man in the cloak in the venue.
The speed of the person was very fast, and he disappeared in Long Yu's sight in the blink of an eye, if he changed the person, the wilderness under the vast white cover, it must be not easy to find out the accurate place where the person came out, but Long Yu's weird eyes were quite easy, the terrain looked flat, but in fact the texture was different, there was a small hill where the person came out, the snow fell, from a distance, the ground was flat, but Long Yu's eyes could see the landform covered with snow.
Quietly approaching the hill, Long Yu hid all his breath, there was a mark left by a magic enchantment on the ground, no one could have imagined that someone would set up a den under this desolate wilderness, this place is basically inaccessible, even if the palace guards want to search, they will definitely not search here.
Breaking the magic enchantment is really a trivial thing for Long Yu, but he can't do it, breaking the enchantment will definitely alarm the people inside, what is the situation under the ground Long Yu doesn't know, and the man in the cloak doesn't know if he is not inside, in case he startles the snake and lets him run, it is something that Long Yu can't tolerate.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Long Yu was like a stone statue squatting behind a hill not far away, quietly waiting for the man's return, and waited all night until the next day, when the fish belly was white in the east, Long Yu finally guarded the man in black who had left the day before.
The man was carrying a package behind him, and he was still running fast, raising snowflakes all the way on the snow, like a speeding small train, the train stopped at the place where Long Yu found the enchantment, Long Yu immediately leaned over, he drew all his breath, and even when he leaned over, he was the magic yuan of the imperial envoy, and his feet didn't even touch the ground. ”
The person who came was probably waiting for the person inside to open the enchantment, a pair of small eyes looked around, looking extremely uneasy, and his hands were rubbing together from time to time, just when Long Yu was thinking about whether to knock over himself and replace him, a circle of earthy yellow light suddenly lit up on the ground, and the light quickly disappeared, and then with a sound of gears, a very wide hole came out.
A ladder was set up at the entrance of the cave, and the man sighed and said, "Why did you open it, do you want to freeze me to death?" The people inside didn't know what they were talking about, the man in black muttered dissatisfiedly, and walked down with the package, without further ado, Long Yu's whole person bounced into it like a cannonball, and the rapid movement brought a gust of wind, and the cold wind blew the strange screams inside.
After Long Yu came in, he pounced directly into the corner where the light was not very bright, and the whole person squatted down quietly. The man in black couldn't help but shudder, looked around uneasily, and walked down slowly, "I said can you hurry up, do you want to freeze me to death?" This is a dirt cave, there is a table and a few benches in the hole, the benches are placed at random, and in the middle of the earth cave is a brazier, and the brazier is not burning carbon, but a red flame magic crystal, just from this point of view, these guys are very rich.
"How's it going, you've gone to the city to investigate?" asked, the mechanism opened, the hole closed, and the man sitting behind the desk sighed. "Hey, don't mention it, it's a big deal. The man in the cloak waved his hand, his face unpleasant. "What do you say?" the man couldn't help but ask curiously, "The entire Holy City is under martial law, and the investigation is quite strict, I heard that the Holy King is furious, and he will not give up if he can't find the murderer." ”
"Uh~!" The man sitting behind the table was stunned for a moment, and then returned: "Then they have found it, and it is estimated that there is no hope in this life." The man in the cloak shook his head and said in a low voice: "Tell you something, I'm afraid it will frighten you." The man said with a disdainful face: "I am not afraid of the Great Commander. You can still scare me. ”
The man in the cloak sneered, noncommittal, and was silent for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, "Amst is in the venue a few miles away, are you afraid?" The man's face changed instantly, and his face was incredulous, "What you said is not true, right?" "It's fun for me to bluff you, I think it's time to move the nest, I'll go to the Grand Commander and talk about it." The man in the cloak said, standing in front of the earthen wall.
"Also, you hurry up and say, the farther away from that Amster, the better, the old immortal is a competent scavenger, if he knows our whereabouts, I am afraid that I will die with you and I will not know how we died. The man didn't know what mechanism he had opened, and suddenly a door appeared on the earthen wall. There was a handle on the door, but the man in the cloak knocked three times, and the door opened with a "snap", and the man in the cloak held the doorknob in one hand and said, "I knew you would be frightened, look, I, I'm right." ”
As he spoke, he pulled the room open with one hand, and another cold wind rushed over, shivering, and the man in the cloak couldn't help complaining: "It's getting colder and colder down here, and the cold wind is swishing." "The wind just now was naturally dragon rain, and behind the door was a very wide space. At least the size of two football fields.
Two houses that are not very beautiful stand here, the man in the cloak pulled the cloak on his body, and walked towards the house that was close, the man in the cloak knocked for two or three minutes, and the door opened lazily, and a disheveled woman in black walked out of it with long hair, and the man in the cloak looked at the woman greedily, scolded the slut in his heart, knocked on the door again, and then walked in.
Long Yu followed behind the man in the cloak like a ghost, the room was in a mess, and out of the back room came a man in a leather robe, the man had a bald head, a very tall nose, and a pair of eyes that were full of haze no matter how he looked.
"How's the spying going?" As soon as the hoarse voice came out, Long Yu wanted to plunge the short knife pinned to his waist into his throat.
"There is martial law in the city, but I am afraid that things will not be shipped in the short term, the Holy King announced in the morning, the Holy Light Festival has been postponed for seven days, and the holiday has also been extended for seven days, but the Holy City is very strict, and it is easy to get out of the city gate. The man in the cloak returned respectfully. "Seven days? It will take seven days for the new venue to be set up, no, just these days, things must be shipped out. "The bald middle-aged man took off his cloak and was still so domineering.
The cloaked man furrowed his eyebrows, and said with a tangled expression: "Great Commander, this is an extraordinary time, if something goes wrong and finds out those things, it will not be good." "Hmph, what's the matter, go to the east gate for me, haven't you been working on it all the time, and now it's just in handy." The bald middle-aged man seemed to be very confident, as if he felt that the East City Gate would definitely be able to get out.
"Okay, I'll go back and try it. The man in the cloak agreed, "By the way, there is one more thing to report to the Grand Commander." The cloaked man lowered his voice, "What's the matter?" the bald middle-aged man asked impatiently. "According to reliable sources, Amst is in the venue a few miles away, and I heard that he is presiding over the purification there, in the vat, you see, we should change places as soon as possible. The man in the cloak said worriedly.
Have you ever heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place~! No one would have thought that we would stay by Amst's eyelids, you go back and prepare, things must be shipped out within two or three days, it doesn't matter how much it costs. The bald middle-aged man tapped lightly on the table, and the man in the cloak nodded, said the Grand Commander again, pushed open the door and walked out.
