Volume 4 The Clash of Light and Darkness One hundred and twelve, the first level
Minter followed Jada into an alley, and with the help of the dim light from the windows of the people in the alley, he looked at the low buildings on both sides of the road, the smelly debris in the corners, and the men gathered in twos and threes, and he had a bad feeling.
As soon as I turned the corner, I passed a dilapidated hut where two men whispered at the door. Minter's ears were sharp, and he vaguely heard what they were saying about the entertainment oasis fire, the disappearance of the rich man, whether he would do anything next, and who he would take money from, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
It seems that today's so-called "accident" is indeed not pure, and there are not many people who took money to make trouble like this in Mongolia. Even if Brahma knew the truth, what could he do?
Thinking of this, his heart was a little heavy.
"What's wrong?" Jada noticed that his pace had slowed and turned back to ask. Mint hurriedly said, "It's nothing, I just think it's weird... Do you really live in this kind of place these days? "He's a real duke, a royal nobleman!
Jada smiled, didn't answer, just continued to lead the way. After a while, at the end of the alley, they went around the fence and suddenly opened up in front of them. It was a large clearing, and when you walked through it and into another secluded street, the environment was very different from before. There are only thirteen or fourteen houses here, which are not luxurious, but they are not shabby, and they are very clean and tidy overall, all with small yards, and some of them are two-story buildings. Minter noticed that the place he had just passed was the residential area of Wisha, but it was located on the edge of the residential area of Nogar, and there was a large circle of sea buckthorn forest on the periphery, which was quite quiet and secluded.
Jada walked to the outside of the two-story building at the end of the street, casually pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, knocked lightly on the door a few times, and soon a woman's timid voice came from behind the door: "Who is it?" β
"Me! Open the door. Jada glanced around and replied in a low voice.
The door quickly opened, revealing the face of a beautiful girl full of joy: "Jie! You're finally back! She threw herself into Jada's arms and hugged him and trembled: "How can you leave me behind?" You don't know how scared I am..."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Jada's face, and he pulled her away and asked, "What about Shed?" How are his injuries? β
"It's okay, the fever has subsided. But still unconscious. Jay, what should I do if bad guys come while you're away? The girl went up again.
Minter looked at Jada with some amusement on his face helpless but unable to refuse. He recognized it. This girl is the one they rescued from the traffickers. I remember it was called Junia. It seems to be Jadadi's fiancΓ©e. Cunning as a fox, Jada. I didn't expect there to be such a time of confusion. for they were blocked at the door. Minter couldn't get in. Just fold your arms next to the door. Watch Jada's rare depressed expression.
Junia complained bitterly. Only to find that there was a stranger standing by the door. I couldn't help but scream. Take two steps away. Duck behind Jada. His hands were still clutching his arm: "Who are you?!" How did you come here?! β
Jada hurriedly said, "This is Minter. I specifically asked to come back and help. He's going to go back to Normonka with us. Don't make a fuss. I'm going to see Shedd first. Come on too. β
Junia stole a few glances at Minter. Minter smiled at her. She hurriedly restrained her face in alarm. Put on a haughty and reserved look. Look at him lightly again. Then he carried Jada up to the second floor.
Minter entered the house and closed the door. Take a closer look at the situation in the house. The furnishings here are simple. But it's still comfortable. Everything has a slight Nogar touch. Looks like it's been a few years. I don't know how Jada got this place to live. He walked downstairs around the rooms. It was found that there were two rooms on the first floor, each with three single wooden beds. Some squeezed. But the bedding is basically the same. I looked at the kitchen again. He also found that the grain stored here was dry food. Along the wall hang a dozen half-used water bags. It's all the same size. I couldn't help frowning.
Could it be that this is the secret place where Noga is set up? Or. Is Jeda buying the land privately? It doesn't seem like it's been a year or two. Why did he arrange such a place a few years ago? The Security Service's personnel at the Monridi Intelligence Station never appeared to have discovered the area. Seemingly. It is necessary to inform them. Let them keep an eye out for the people who come in and out of the place from time to time.
Minter suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his head, and found a man in his forties and fifties standing by the door with an extremely thin face and eyes, looking at him quietly with strange eyes. I couldn't help but grab an ice dagger in my hand. After a while. When he saw that the man had not spoken, he was about to ask the other man what he meant. The man suddenly said, "What do you want to do when you're going around all the time?!" β
Minter squinted, and before he could answer, Jada's voice came from upstairs: "Minter, Minter, are you there?" He shouted as he walked down the stairs, saw the scene at the kitchen door, frowned and asked, "What happened?" β
"He's sneaking around! Surely uneasy and kind! The thin man preemptively said.
Minter replied unhurriedly: "Whenever I go to a new place, I always use to find out what is going on around me first, so as not to make a mistake because I am not familiar with the terrain when I need to escape. But this one... It seems that I have misunderstood and mistaken me for a person with bad intentions. To be honest, I haven't dealt with you once or twice, and you invited me to go north first, so it stands to reason that you should know that I am a talented person. If you really have doubts about me, might as well have made it clear sooner? I'll just leave, and I won't dwell on it. β
Jada hurriedly said, "No, since I invited you to come, I will never doubt you for no reason." Even if you have doubts before, once you join us, you become one of your own. You can rest assured. After a pause, he smiled again: "You are very serious and careful, it seems that I invited you to come, and I really did the right thing." He whispered a few words to the thin man, who looked at Minter in disbelief and turned away. Minter noticed that he was sitting behind a tall cabinet by the door, and he was still holding back his breath, and no one would have found out about his existence if they hadn't known about it beforehand.
"Come up and see Shead. He's one of our companions, he's been slightly injured, and he's used your magic pot, and it seems to be much better, so you can help me see if I need to take anything. Jada beckoned to Minter, who followed him upstairs.
The man, named "Sheed", was lying in bed and had just woken up from a coma. The reaction was still a little sluggish, but the eyes were already quite sharp. He first glanced at Minter in surprise, and then looked at Jada with a disapproving gaze, who smiled nonchalantly: "Minter is very good at magic leaves, and half of the water you took before was prepared by him." Shedd seemed to understand something. I didn't say anything against it.
Minter had some epiphany, it seems that there is an important reason why Jada is so eager to invite herself, is there anyone who needs a magic fray? The intelligence station doesn't seem to hear anything like that. He felt as if he had grasped an important clue.
Taking advantage of the time to inspect the ground for Shed, Minter carefully looked at the other party's height, body shape, and the thick cocoon on his hands and between the tiger's mouth, and judged that this was the black-clothed shadow swordsman who had been following Jada all along, and it seemed that he was tracking him alone last night. I had a pretty troublesome counterattack.
After checking again, Minter said to Jada, "His trauma is not serious, and he drank water." Tomorrow will be fine, but the poison in the poison is a little troublesome. The treatment was too late, he exercised violently, the toxin has penetrated deep into the body, if it is completely removed, it will take at least two or three months, and it is difficult to return to the previous healthy body, take a few years of good recuperation, and maybe retain eighty percent of the original strength. β
Shedding fell silent for a moment. Jada was also a little sad when he heard this, and comforted Shedd in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, I will definitely cure you." You can recuperate in peace. β
"It doesn't matter if you're a subordinate." Xie De hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, let's go back to China as soon as possible, last night's incident, the other side already knows that we did it, if they rush back to Nomonka first, and complain to His Majesty and the ministers, it will be very disadvantageous to us." β
Jada's eyes flashed, "Hmph." It's not that easy! He slowed down his tone and persuaded Xie De: "You can rest in peace, at least until the trauma is healed, not to mention, without you, the way back to China may not be safe, although I am good, but there is Junia." β
When Shedd heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, but Junia, who had been standing quietly next to him, was not happy: "How can you say that about me? I've suffered, and I'm no longer a petite woman. Even without you. I can take care of myself too! β
Jada smiled, "Yes, you're right. But he did not go any further. Junia wasn't too satisfied. Just as he was about to say something, Minter interjected, "You don't really have to fight. I said it would take two or three months to completely remove the toxin, but I didn't say he couldn't move. I know a recipe for a mushroom, and if you give it to him, it will last at least seven days of rapid marching, and as long as you are no longer injured, it will not affect his body, but you must recuperate after that. β
Jada was surprised when he heard this, "Why didn't you say it earlier?!" Hurry up and match! β
Minter raised his eyebrows, looked at him deeply, and then Shi Shiran walked downstairs, found a vacant room, took out the magic pill workbench and other things from the storage ring, and prepared them. Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, he quietly wrote a few lines on a piece of paper with a special piece of water, stuffed it into his arms, and then pretended to splash water out of the window, quickly looked out a few times, and found the young man dangling outside the courtyard.
It was someone from Frido's shop, who had been sent to inquire about Jada's whereabouts. Frydor had promised the two cronies that he would take them over as soon as he established himself in East, so that Frydorf's clerks were relieved to accept the dispatch of the intelligence station.
Knowing that his own people knew where she was, Minter hurriedly concentrated on preparing the water. After it was ready, it was almost midnight. Junia couldn't hold back for a long time and went to sleep, but Jada was still by Shed's side, and as soon as she saw Mint enter the door, she hurried to meet her.
After Shedd drank it, his whole body felt different, and even the pain was reduced a lot, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. Minter whispered to Jada, "Just wake up, if you're really in a hurry, you can leave tomorrow." β
Jada breathed a sigh of relief and said to Minter very sincerely: "Thank you very much, I think that being able to pull you over is the most correct thing I have done in my life." β
Minter smiled, "Don't be too busy saying this, I have a small request, I don't know if you will agree." β
Jada was a little surprised: "What request?" If it's a monetary reward, as long as it's not too much, you don't hesitate to mention it. β
"I'm willing to join you, but not for that money, don't forget that you promised to give me a chance to get ahead." Minter said, "I'm just running out of magic weapons in my hands, and I'm afraid that there will be some accidents on the road, so I want to make more and bring them with me." But I don't have much material left, so I need to go out and buy it. Are you relieved to let me go? β
Jada paused, stared at Minter carefully, and smiled: "Are you testing me?" Well, you go, but remember to come back quickly, butβ" he put away his smile, "I trust you, and I hope you don't live up to my trust." β
"Of course not." Minter smiled and thought: how much trust you have in me, how much loyalty I have to you, neither of us owes anyone.
He turned around and was about to go out, but he heard Jada stop him behind him, thought about it for a while, and said, "It's midnight now, or you can buy it tomorrow." The janitor downstairs is very strong, you can bring him up and carry the package for you. After a pause, Jada smiled again and asked, "You don't mind if someone follows, do you?" β
How could Minter not know what he meant? The corners of his mouth curled: "It's nothing, although I would prefer to gain your trust, but this kind of thing obviously comes about after a long time of getting along." I'm still half a stranger to you, and if you don't even have the slightest alertness, I'll think you're not worth it. β
Leaving Jada with a changed face, Minter went out easily, and the thin man followed him from a distance, watching him go to other streets, knocking on the doors of several families, buying more than a dozen large bags of materials in the midst of scolding or warm reception, and throwing them all to himself along with the bills, and then returning to the small building, and digging into the empty room where the workbench was placed. When it was daybreak, he handed Jada, Shedd, and Junia a few bottles of water with red eyes, then saddled up and followed them on their journey north.
Jada looked at Minter, who was yawning, thoughtfully, and remembered the report of his janitor, who was not suspicious at all, and was very active in doing things, thinking and thinking about his own interests, and it seemed that he should be competent. It's just that the other party doesn't seem to be very ambitious. But it soon occurred to him that who said that anyone would show their ambitions? If Minter didn't have ambition, why did he try so hard to help himself? Thinking of this, he felt that he was thinking too much, and his attitude towards Minte became more cordial.

Leaving Monli and heading north, because they were afraid that there was still Sheed, an injured girl, and Junia, a weak girl in the team, they didn't go fast, and it took a full five days to reach the serial checkpoint, which was already the hinterland of Noga. They stopped a hundred meters before the southernmost checkpoint.
At the checkpoint ahead, a gorgeous carriage was blocked at the entrance, and more than a dozen attendants were reasoning with the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint, sounding like they didn't have a pass, so the people in the checkpoint refused to let them go.
At the window on the side of the carriage, a pair of jade arms lifted the gauze curtain, revealing the head of a beautiful woman draped in red light veil, looking left and right. Minter immediately recognized Namu as Namu who had been taken away from the entertainment oasis by the Nogars. So, this is the team of the original Noga guests? Why did they stop at this place?
But... Pass? Minter immediately turned to look at Jada and noticed a sly smile on his face.
