Volume 2 Winter in Iron Mountain Section 28 The Heart of the Piano
Under the forced gaze of Muyu Lily of the Valley, Xiaoqing finally told the truth. A few days ago, she went to an auction house, originally to compete for an old book, but overheard about something.
Someone consigned a golden sandworm egg in Silver City 13!
The consignee was Lena Eucles, the sheriff of Iron Mountain, and the golden sandworm egg was said to have been found by a hunter named Iron Slag. Xiaoqing heard others talking about this name at the auction, and when she came back, she remembered that the little friend of the Lily of the Valley priest was called Iron Slag.
"I heard that a golden sandworm egg can sell for four or five thousand gold coins, and he will soon become rich."
Xiaoqing said excitedly, but Mu Yuli's face became more and more solemn. She remembered a saying, "Keep your valuable things hidden and not let others see them, or they will rob you of your things." β
This is what Iron Slag had said to her years ago, and she had always remembered it, but he had forgotten it.
"Xiaoqing, I want to go to the ground." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley said seriously.
"Ah...... Why? If you leave the temple without permission, the priest will scold us. β
"I have to go, let him leave quickly, there is a saying in the ancient East......" Mu Yu Lily Ran's voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually turned into a self-muttering voice, "Jun Ben is not guilty, but he is guilty." β
"Sister, you haven't come back from the pilgrimage to Turin City (Central Silver City, No. 1 Silver City), you are now the supreme person in charge of the Rain Prayer Temple, you can't leave ......"
"He's in danger, I must go."
Looking at the determined gaze of the Lily of the Valley priest, Xiaoqing sighed and said, "Why don't you ...... Let me go. β
"You're going?" "Well, sister, don't worry, Xiaoqing won't grab a man with her sister." "You ......"
"No!" Xiaoqing patted her chest and assured.
"Okay, take two red-robed warriors with you, and be careful on the road." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley gently patted the snow off Xiaoqing's shoulders and instructed, "Don't be greedy, go and come back quickly." β
Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, and stretched her voice "Hmm~".
Then the two drove back to the temple, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley returned to the study, and Xiaoqing went to the side hall of the temple to arrange for the guards.
The structure of Notre-Dame is peculiar in relation to other religious organizations. There are mainly female psionics, but there are not many women who are good at combat, so they also absorb a large number of male cultists as regular troops. The guards of Notre Dame are generally divided into "samurai" or "monks", those who are good at fighting with psionic power armor are called samurai, and those who are good at psionic storms are called monks.
Samurai and monks are divided into three levels based on combat experience, psionic strength, and intrinsic potential, ranging from the lowest "gray robe" to the "white robe" to the highest level "red robe".
Normally, the red-robed samurai is the symbol of the highest force of the regular forces of Notre-Dame.
Xiao Qing in the side hall casually looked through the personnel roster, and then made two phone calls. After a while, two red-robed warriors walked into the side hall. They wore uniform red soft armor, with a golden cross on their chests and red cloaks floating on their backs.
After arriving, the two of them neatly bowed to Xiao Qing, and one of them asked, "Quasi-priest, may I ask if there is anything I can do for you?" β
"Please call me the Shadow Priest." Xiaoqing said lightly.
The warrior was startled for a moment, then whispered, "Priest Kotoshin, this is the first time you've recruited us as a shadow priest, can you speak from a different place?" β
"No, there's no one else here." She then explained, "This parlor is the liaison room of the new Shadow Division, and it has been set up with secrecy measures. β
"I'm sorry, Lord Shadow Priest, this is the first time you've recruited us, we thought ...... Thought it was ......"
"Think I'm a little girl who doesn't understand anything?" Xiaoqing said coldly.
"No...... That's not what we meant......"
"You don't need to explain, just focus on the task."
The red-robed warrior nodded and asked, "What is our mission this time......
"Kill someone." Xiaoqing said calmly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, "The target is male, based on a low hill south of Iron Mountain Town, about seventeen or eighteen years old, medium height, accustomed to a one-meter-two long machete, an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun, and possibly a large-caliber Merlin revolver. β
"We also need names and photos." The red-robed warrior said.
"No, this time you followed me, nominally to protect me to go down to do errands, but in fact followed me to kill people, understand?"
"Yes!" The two red-robed warriors responded in unison.
"You've got an hour to prepare, go ahead." After speaking, Xiao Qing waved her hand with a cold face and motioned for them to retreat.
Looking at the backs of the two red-robed warriors leaving, Xiaoqing took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "Sister, I'm sorry......"
Just now, she lied one lie after another to Mu Yu Lily of the Valley.
In fact, Lena didn't put the Golden Sandworm eggs in Silver City 13 for consignment, and she didn't leak the news.
Xiaoqing's information came from several garrison members who followed the iron slag into the sand sea, and they inadvertently leaked the news during small talk. The so-called auction was completely fabricated by Xiaoqing, and its purpose was to let Mu Yulian send her down to find iron slag.
On the day of almsgiving, Muyu Lily of the Valley gave the blessing of the guardian knight to the iron slag, and the matter soon spread to the rain prayer sacrifice. For many years, the rain prayer festival has regarded Muyu lily of the valley as the next sacrifice of the temple. But this inheritor still seems to have a knot in his heart, and sometimes he falls into a sluggishness for some reason. It wasn't until this meeting that the rain sacrifice finally understood the knot in Mu Yuli's heart.
She sent someone to find out the details of the "guardian knight". Soon found out that the other party was just a little gangster, although there were some powerful things, but it was far worse than those white-robed warriors in the temple, let alone the red-robed warriors.
An insignificant ant should not be a stumbling block to the Colossus's advancement.
People always have a young time, and when they are young, they always like something ethereal.
When you look back many years later, you will realize how naΓ―ve you were back then......
This is the idea of praying for rain, so she decided to eliminate the demons in Mu Yu's lily of the valley, so that she can have no distractions in her development.
She put Xiaoqing in charge of this matter, so that the iron slag will leave Iron Mountain Town forever, or disappear forever......
Xiaoqing's true identity is the shadow priest of the Temple of Prayer for Rain. Shrines of prayer for rain throughout the ages have had two sacrifices, one standing in the sunlight and the other hiding in the darkness. Due to the death of the previous Shadow Priest, Xiaoqing inherited the power of the Shadow Line early.
The rain prayer sacrifice poured all its heart and soul into them. She kept her vows, never married, and had no children, only them......
One is called Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, and the other is called Mu Yu Qin Xin.
Therefore, she will never allow anyone to ruin their future......
And Mu Yu Qinxin (Xiaoqing) did not disappoint the Prayer Rain Sacrifice, after taking over the Shadow Series, she has fully proved her ability.
For this event, she made a seamless plan. In addition to going to find the iron slag herself, she also left a back hand.
Just now, the deputy commander of the thirteenth Silver City Military Base, the fourth young master of the Lei Ling family, Lei Ling Karl, received an anonymous email. The letter intentionally or unintentionally revealed that Iron Slag, the man who injured the mechanic, inadvertently picked up a golden sandworm egg......
After reading the email, Lei Ling Carr called a stout lieutenant to his office and asked, "On the day of the almsgiving, I gave the troublemaker a business card and invited him to join the Silver City garrison, but he never replied to me, what do you think?" β
The lieutenant snorted and scolded, "This kind of person has a crooked brain, and he doesn't know what to do at all, or I'll bring a few brothers over to teach him a lesson, the thin monkey is still lying on the bed and can't get out of bed, this matter can't be over like this, how will we mix in Tieshan Town in the future!" β
"I want to inquire about something, do you have any acquaintances in Iron Mountain Town?" Carl asked.
"Yes." The lieutenant boasted, "I have a little brother named Blackfang, and I heard that he is doing well in Iron Mountain. β
"I've heard that someone in Iron Mountain Town has picked up a golden sandworm egg, you can check it out."
"Golden sandworm eggs? Is there such a thing? The lieutenant said in surprise.
"Hurry up and ask, next month is my father's birthday, I'm thinking about what to give, if I can get golden sandworm eggs, my father will be very happy."
"The old lord wants to like this, Dalong is desperate to get it back." The lieutenant said with a smile on his face.
"Don't be verbose, hurry up!" Carl laughed.
"Yes!" The lieutenant put away his smile and saluted with a serious expression.
Ten minutes later......
Blackfang in Iron Mountain receives a phone call.
"Blackfang, do you know who I am?" A gruff voice came from the other side of the phone.
Heiya thought for a while with a gloomy face, and then said with a smile, "Brother Long, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
The two exchanged a few cold words and quickly got to the point. After confirming that Iron Slag had picked up a golden sandworm egg, the lieutenant hung up the phone and asked Karl for his life. Karl asked Lieutenant to invite Iron Slag to visit the military base, and by the way, invited him and his friends to join the Silver City garrison.
"To ...... What if he doesn't know each other? The lieutenant asked, rubbing his palms.
"A little lesson." Carl prompted.
"Understood!" The lieutenant saluted, turned around and went to make arrangements.
It didn't take long for the lieutenant to rush to the town of Iron Mountain with a dozen heavily armed soldiers in three armored personnel carriers.
At this time, the iron slag is habitually inspecting various weapons. Although Ye Xinling is now by his side to take care of him, avoiding a lot of trivial things, he still maintains a high degree of vigilance. Living in this cruel world, he clearly knows that only by being prepared to fight every day can he live a little longer.
The Iron Old Man once said that there are only two reliable things in the world - oneself and a gun.
