Chapter 640: Boarding the ship
Blackwater Pier isn't big and built old, but it's pretty much the only way to the Tower of Silence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is also guarded by the Mystics of the Tower of Silence.
One of the accompanying knights pulled out the parchment that Tris had given him, which described the way to enter the Blackwater Docks.
"My lord, please come with me!"
"Yes!"
The knight whistled loudly and heavily, and several men rode into the somewhat old and deserted dock.
There was no danger, but no one was seen.
The pier looks like it hasn't been used for many years, except for some traces of use along the river, the rest of the place is overgrown with weeds, and many buildings are empty and uninhabited.
"Da, da, da......"
The sound of horses' hooves in the group was particularly lonely.
Everyone looked around.
"Why isn't there anyone here?" Another first-class talent suddenly felt a little chilly.
"Don't stop whistling!"
"Yes, sir."
The knight whistled as he rode his horse.
In winter, the river is a little cold and foggy, the temperature is low enough, and the grass is covered with a thick layer of frost, which makes it feel even more cold and lonely.
After a while--
An Yang felt the black antler mark on his wrist begin to heat up faintly, and bursts of faint energy radiation came out.
He turned back suddenly, only to see a man riding from behind.
The knight's whistle also stopped abruptly.
This is a figure wrapped in a black Labolodo bearskin cloak, with a hood, and is dressed very thickly to protect from the cold, so it shows that the figure is a little bloated, and the horse's hooves fall to the ground strangely silently.
A knight forced his inner apprehension and stepped forward: "My lord, we are a mercenary group escorting the students of the Tower. ā
The visitor nodded, first glanced at An Yang, and then took off his hood, revealing the appearance of a pale-skinned young man, and asked, "Why is it only you and the rest?" ā
"We were attacked by the Mystics of Smedo Manor, and Master Flynn asked us to escort these six first-class gifted adults first, while he dragged the two Mystics himself."
The young man's face suddenly changed: "What?!" ā
After a pause, he asked again, "Which two mysteries?" ā
The knight said respectfully, "A man named Gelie, a woman with two full moon scimitars. ā
An Yang added lightly beside him: "That woman's name is Ou Soya." ā
The young man's face suddenly sank: "Are they trying to provoke a war?" And Glee from Smedo Manor is also here, that crazy genius, it seems that Lord Flynn is less fierce! ā
After a pause, he immediately turned his horse's head: "You come with me quickly, this matter must be reported to the two adults guarding the town, and they will decide, and I will arrange your whereabouts." ā
āā¦ā¦ Aren't you a mystic? ā
"I'm Master Li's apprentice!"
"Yes, I see."
The group immediately followed the young man forward.
After about three minutes, they arrived at a residence consisting of more than a dozen spires about ten meters high.
"All of you come with me!"
The young man ran inside in a hurry, and although the group was tired, they hurriedly followed.
The group walked into a house with a lit stove.
"You're here, I'll go find the two adults."
After the young man finished speaking, he walked out quickly.
An Yang's eyes swept around, this strangely shaped house is not small, a bit similar to a tower structure, there are two powerful energy sources in the two houses not far away, in addition, along the way, I found that there are no more than ten people living here, most of them are apprentices like young people, but their level is also close to the official mystery, so they are guarding here.
There were a few books, some fruit, candles and braziers in the room, but no one touched them.
Soon, the youth walked in again.
He was followed by two people, one who was a little fat and had a rotten smell on his body, and the other who was tall and thin and exuded a cold temperament, both wearing hoods to cover their faces.
"This is Lord Lee and Lord Alan."
Youth was not specifically introduced.
An Yang just deduced from his eyes that the fat person was Li, and the tall and thin person was called Yalan.
The three of them came briskly and found a place to sit down.
Lee's loose black robe showed a pair of fleshy hands with unknown red spots on them, which looked like horror movies, and he took a sip of the water on the table.
"Tell me more about it!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Two days ago, we were attacked by two mysteries from Smeadow Manor about a hundred kilometers away, and Lord Flynn wanted to save the lives of the students......"
The knight recounted what had happened two days ago.
An Yang felt that the temperament on Yalan's body was getting colder and colder, it was really cold, and the temperature in the house began to drop.
Sure enough, he was silent for a while, and then spoke, his voice very hoarse: "What did you say the name of that scimitar woman?" ā
The knight stammered: "Ou ...... Orfina ......"
āā¦ā¦ā
An Yang corrected: "It's Osawa!" ā
Aran sneered twice: "Okay, Smedo actually sent Osoya and Purple Red Tassel, an ugly monster with nervous problems, and a genius madman who doesn't care!" It seems that they have made up their minds to make up their minds to make our Silent Tower's new blood dry up this time, but luckily Master Flynn has stopped them, and I think it's time for us to prepare a counterattack! ā
Li Ze was more calm: "Now is not the time to think about this, when I meet that person Gelie, Lord Flynn's life and death are unknown, and there are still many of our students in the forest, it has become more and more difficult to find talents who are suitable for cultivating strength over the years, even if six first-class talents emerge at once this year, others are also very precious!" We're going to get them out! ā
"You're right, I'll let someone do it right away!"
Aram walked out gloomily.
Li then lifted his hood, revealing a fat, big-eared, pus-ridden face, picked up a few more fruits and stuffed them into his mouth, and looked at them while chewing.
"You're safe."
His voice was surprisingly gentle.
A knight thought for a moment, and suddenly half-knelt on the ground: "My lord, I forgot to tell you something, please forgive me." ā
"What?"
"On our way to escape, we were pursued by Osoia,......, so we took the opportunity to kill her and retrieve her head."
Li was shocked: "What?? I mean, I smell corpses on you, show them to me! ā
The knight pulled a head out of his bag.
Li didn't care, he grabbed it and looked at it.
"It's Osoya, it's incredible!"
"It's all the work of the Mystic and Lord Ain, who passed out in a coma."
Lydia later gave the version that one of them fought with Osoya and the other ran away, so they killed Osoya and beheaded her while she was exhausted.
Although Li felt that there was a problem, Ou Soya's head was here, and he couldn't find the problem.
It didn't take long --
"I'm going to leave first to help the Arrans with the search for the forest, and Bol will take care of you!"
"Your Excellency, please walk slowly."
Lee put his hood back on and strode out.
Pol was the young man who received them first, and after hearing that everyone had killed Osoya, he also put away a little arrogance and contempt, and said: "Here are a few books, if you are interested, you can read them, most of them are interesting stories, the two adults will take care of everything, but there is a dispute between you, you probably can't go to the tower right away." ā
An Yang also nodded in understanding.
Smedo Manor had already begun attacking them, and if that was confirmed to be a failure, perhaps a second attack, and the Tower of Silence would certainly not be able to pick them up until they were safe enough.
Pol began to talk to them without a word, as if to soothe their 'frightened' feelings.
"My name is Pol and I joined the Tower ten years ago."
"My name is Ain."
"Sheryl."
"My name is Lydia."
āā¦ā¦ā
"Originally, I should have received you as soon as you came, but usually we receive a signal from the leader in advance, but today there is none, only a whistle, so I reacted a little slower. This is also thanks to Lord Ain's Book of Conoper's mark. ā
"It's okay."
As he was talking, there was a sudden sound outside.
An Yang suddenly looked out of the window.
I saw a group of giant eagles with a wingspan of seven or eight meters flying overwhelmingly towards the place where they came, and there were a lot of them, whistling through the air, and the light was covered by the huge body.
"This is an eclipse, one of our Silent Tower's external defensive weapons."
"Yes."
"Because this happened, the two adults will definitely not dare to leave the dock easily, not alone, and we must first ensure the safety of the people in the forest, so we will send the eclipse sculptures, and the monsters in the forest will hide once they see the eclipse in the sky, and they will not dare to come out to move. And the etching sculpture can also search for people in the forest and bring them back. ā
"I see."
The two forcibly chatted for a while, but they couldn't find a common topic, so Anyang picked up a book and looked at it.
ā¦ā¦
Two hours later, Flynn's body was brought back.
Gregory showed no mercy, and most of Flynn's body was blown out of small craters, almost unrecognizable.
The two Mystics of the town were furious!
By evening, knights, apprentices, and gifted people began to be brought back one after another, and the Tower of Silence did not discriminate or give priority to this.
They all had wounds on their bodies, but they didn't know if they had encountered a beast in the forest or had been scratched by the claws of the carved eagles. Most people first arrived at the docks with a grudge against the Nearly Intact Talent, but when they heard that they had been overtaken by Osoya and brought back Osoya's head after a fierce battle, they didn't dare to complain anymore!
It took three days for all the carvings to return.
During this time, Pol went to the place where he had encountered Othoya, and according to him, it was a mess, and the corpses of knights and talents were littered, and Tris, who had a good relationship with An Yang and others along the way, was not spared. Presumably, Gregory killed Flynn and slaughtered everyone before leaving, and Osawa did not show mercy when she met others while chasing them.
ConocoPhillips also died, but Winnie did.
So far, there are about 20 talents and apprentices who have arrived at the Blackwater Pier alive, and the death rate has reached 70%.
Most of the surviving apprentices were strong, but the gifted ones were uneven, because they didn't have the strength to protect themselves, and many of the best died in the forest.
At this time, the Tower of Silence also arrived, and the four true mysteries were enough to see how seriously the Tower of Silence took it.
The four Mystics first inspected the two battlefields and collected a lot of information by some means before protecting all the survivors to board the ship and go directly to the Tower of Silence.
