readx; "Mr. Erwin, someone downstairs is looking for you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Erwin was about to go to bed when he heard the tavern hostess say this, he frowned, and went downstairs with the hostess.

And the person who appeared in front of him was a strange middle-aged man who looked like a drunkard.

"You're looking for me?" Erwin asked suspiciously, looking up and down at the middle-aged man, "Do we know each other?" ”

"No, I don't know." The middle-aged man seemed very nervous, he rubbed his hands, and said, "You're going to give me money, aren't you?" ”

"What?"

"No, listen to me, there's a gentleman named Ian, and he asked me to take you to Triangle Street, and he said you'd give me money." The middle-aged man was a little afraid that he would be driven away by the young man in front of him after he finished speaking.

"Ian?" Erwin frowned, Ian hadn't been back all day, and his salute had been taken away from the hotel, Erwin thought that it would be difficult to see the militia again in the future, but he didn't expect that people would come to him now, is there any trouble?

"I have the money, but you have to make things clear."

The middle-aged man hurriedly told him everything he had just encountered carefully.

"So, you waited for half a quarter and didn't wait for him to show up, and you came to me?"

Erwin asked the middle-aged man in a deep voice, his gradually serious expression made his shoulders shrink in fright, and he quickly replied, "Yes, that's it." ”

"Take me there."

Erwin's eyes flickered, and he had a hunch that Ian would definitely not be in trouble this time, otherwise he wouldn't have had to let the middle-aged man come back in advance.

This proves that he knows that there is a high risk that he will be in danger.

Led by the middle-aged man, the two hurriedly left the hotel and headed to the Triangle Street in the middle man's mouth in the snowflakes.

The distance was not far, and it took ten minutes to arrive at the place where Ian stopped the middle-aged man.

"You go back, it's none of your business, it's better not to talk about tonight." Erwin casually admonished, and casually threw a Jin Xide to the middle-aged man, who happily took it, and then ran away as if flying.

Erwin let out a sigh and turned to enter the alleyway.

The snow had fallen from nightfall to the present, and a thick layer of snowflakes had already accumulated on the ground, and it creaked when stepped on.

Ian's trail had already been covered by heavy snow, and Erwin couldn't start looking for it from this aspect, so he had to walk all the way down the alleyway, and then turned on the night vision ability of the detection skill to observe the surrounding situation.

And when Erwin reached the depths of the alley, his movements suddenly stopped, and there was a clear mark in front of his eyes, as if someone had crawled over on the snow, and most importantly, this trace was stained with a lot of red blood, which had penetrated into the snow, and could not even hide the heavy snow.

When he saw this trace, Erwin's heart suddenly jumped heavily, and he hurriedly followed the trace, and just a distance of more than ten meters, he saw Yi

Ian was half-sitting under the eaves of a house with his back against the wall, his eyes blank and pale, his clothes completely stained red with blood, and his usual treasured Paz sword was piercing through his belly and then out from behind, nailing him to the wall.

"Ian ......"

Seeing this scene, Erwin's face suddenly changed, and he slowly walked over and squatted down beside Ian.

"I'll just ...... Know...... You will come. Ian twisted his neck slowly and smiled miserably at Elwin, bright red blood pouring out of his mouth and nose.

With broken bones and broken internal organs, Erwin could see at a glance that Ian was seriously injured and dying, and he had no medical treatment at all, if Illya, the priestess of the First Ring, might have been able to save Ian here.

Erwin was silent, then took a deep breath and said, "If you have anything to say, if you still have any wishes, I will try my best to help you complete it."

"Gergil...... Out of town...... Want to give the North ...... The army opens its doors...... His goal...... It's Ecilia ......."

Ian said intermittently, he had stood up until now, just to tell Erwin all these things.

Erwin's heart was hot, and he hurriedly said: "The person who killed you is Gegil, he went out of the city to contact the army in North Sunderland, and planned to open the door for them, right?" ”

Ian nodded slightly, as if returning to the light, he suddenly took a deep breath, the last flame of his life burned in his dark eyes, and even the intermittent words became much smoother: "I...... I think I'll kill him, but ...... If you can't do it, can you help me? ”

"Don't worry, I'll let him go down with you right away, no one will be able to stop me this time." Erwin's nose was a little sour, and he smiled and assured Ian

"Thank you...... I still can't...... I'm going to cause you trouble until I die...... I'm sorry. ”

Ian's breath became weaker and weaker, the color in his eyes quickly dimmed, and finally completely fell silent, and his heaving chest slowly stopped, this militia that had no characteristics and could not be found in the crowd, left this world like this.

Erwin reached out and slowly smoothed his eyes, then pulled out Path's longsword pinned to the wall, and lifted Ian from the ground.

A scorching flame called anger is slowly burning in Erwin's heart, and it is not too short to travel to the world of Elend, Erwin admits that he is actually a very lazy person, with a dispensable attitude towards many things, and it is not a pity to be able to do his best, and it is not a pity to not be able to do it.

But at this moment, he had never felt so angry, never so desperate to kill someone.

This guy is not Erwin's friend, he can only be regarded as an acquaintance, and he is useless and likes to make trouble.

But Erwin didn't hate him, and even envied him a little bit of his blind optimism about life.

"Although we didn't become friends in the end, at least we were partners for a while, rest in peace."

Erwin said silently in his heart, then turned around and left the alleyway with Ian on his back.

Rex never imagined that Erwin would one day come to his door.

Of course, he didn't expect this guy to suddenly want to open it, and then promise his commission, he would come to him on purpose, probably because something happened.

Rex looked at Erwin, whose face was calm, but what seemed to have happened, waved his hand to break away from Poruf, who had become his subordinate, and there were only two people left in the room where Ian was imprisoned last time.

"It's surprising that you would come to me, tell me, in the middle of the night, you wouldn't have asked me to drink, it wouldn't have been Miss Susan who wouldn't let you go to bed, would you?" Rex said jokingly.

"Tsk, I don't see you kidding? Could it be that the situation is clear enough to ⊥ you so leisurely? Erwin snorted, he knew very well that Rex's current troubles and troubles were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

"Okay, I know I can't hide it from you, I have a headache now, the scout sent out has not replied for a long time, and the person in the mirror seems to have been cut off from this side, I don't know who did it." Rex sighed, "I don't know what's going on on the front lines right now, and I don't know if the scouts have passed the news to the Crusadblades, so I'm helpless right now." ”

Hearing Rex's complaints, Erwin knew that the course of history might not be so simple to be changed, North Sunderland's move was equivalent to a conspiracy, no matter whether the Crossblade Legion got the news sooner or later, they had to defend back, the only difference was probably a disorderly retreat or an orderly contraction defense.

However, these are too far away for Sand Shield City, let alone Erwin, even the Demon Hunter Knight Rex of the Titan Holy See can't do anything about it.

They have to keep their eyes and energy on the things that need more attention at hand.

"Since you can't do anything, let's put things aside for now, I have more urgent matters to discuss with you here." Erwin said seriously.

"Oh? Could there be anything worse than that? Rex smiled wryly, "It can't be the murderous Gergir thing, right?" ”

"Yes." Erwin shook his head and said, "He just killed Ian." ”

Rex thought for a moment before remembering who Ian was, as for the unlucky militia being killed by his cousin, Rex didn't have any feelings in his heart, it was better to say that he had expected it, but was this matter more urgent than what he was worried about now?

Although Rex knew very well that since Erwin was so serious, it should not be a trivial matter, he really couldn't think of anything special about Ian's killing that needed to come to him.

But Erwin didn't say clearly, just stared at him in silence.

Rex immediately had a headache, he usually gave Erwin difficult riddles, Erwin always found the right answer the first time, and now that Rex was the one who was asked, he immediately found that his head was not enough.

"Well, I've only thought of two things, Ian's killing has something to do with the Sect of the End? Or is it related to the predicament that Sandshield City is facing now? Rex quickly threw in the towel.

"You've guessed one, Ian found out that Ggil had come out of the city to contact the army of North Sunderland, and his intention was to open the gates for the army to capture Sand Shield City.

Rex's face immediately became serious, he didn't doubt the authenticity of Erwin's news.

This is indeed an extremely urgent matter, and if Sand Shield City is indeed breached, then the Crusaderblade Legion's garrison in the valley valley is really in jeopardy.

"Isn't Gergil from Lorenzo? How will you go to help North Sunderland? Could it be that he was a spy for the Night Stalker, or was it the Cultists of the Last Church who was behind him?

"Who knows, there may or may not be, you better think about what to do about this first." Erwin hurriedly pulled Rex's divergent thinking back.

"The city defenders are guarding the city gates day and night, and with Gergil's ability not to open the gates before reinforcements arrive, what does he need to do?" Rex asked, frowning.

If it was in normal times, Erwin would definitely bring the news and ignore it, and he would probably only answer Rex's questions about what is the use of you asking me.

But now that he has decided to help Ian fulfill his wishes, he will not deliberately ignore these things, and he doesn't know whether Sand Shield City has been breached in history, but with the current situation, if Sand Shield City is really breached, then Erwin's trouble in killing Gegil will be multiplied

"He's a murderer, what else can he do but kill?" Before coming here, Erwin had thought about the problem and had come up with the most likely approach for Gegill.

Rex looked at Erwin in surprise and said, "You mean, he will deliberately kill people in the city to create riots, and the city defenders will definitely send troops to maintain law and order in order to avoid riots, and he can take the opportunity to open the city gates to let the army of North Sunderland in?" ”

"That's pretty much it, it's the best chance of him succeeding, and he won't be able to open the gates alone unless someone helps." Erwin nodded in reply.

"Do you know exactly when he acted?"

"How can I know, but probably in the next day or two, after all, the sooner the better."

"What we need to do now is to think about how to prevent or respond to this situation." Rex crossed his fingers, looked up at Erwin and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for anything better?" ”

"I'm not Baidu Encyclopedia, don't push all the problems to me." Erwin complained casually, and Rex couldn't ask what Baidu Encyclopedia was, so he continued directly, "I do have a suggestion, you lead a part of the city defenders to guard the gate, presumably Gegil will definitely not be able to open the city gate from under your hands, and then another part of the city defenders will maintain law and order in the city." I'll just work hard and see if I can catch Ggil at the chance. ”

"You haven't figured it out." Rex was stunned and couldn't help but say, "When did you become so enthusiastic." ”

"No way, promise someone else." Erwin said with a sigh.

After thinking about it for a while, Rex finally adopted Erwin's method, and the two discussed a lot of details, and finally Erwin asked Rex before leaving: "I have no intention of catching him alive, you won't disagree again, right?" ”

"Don't worry, I've already said it......" Rex smiled, "I'll dispose of Gergill if he exceeds a certain amount of harm, and he's already touching my bottom line by doing so now." ”

Erwin nodded, turned and left the room, and Poruf, who was standing in the doorway, stared at him for a long time before being called into the room by Rex.

When he returned to the hotel, Susan was already waiting for him in Erwin's room.

"Did you get into a fight?" Susan asked with a frown, she smelled blood on Erwin's body.

"No, it's Ian's."

Erwin sighed with a wry smile, and then told Susan everything that had happened tonight in detail.

Susan listened in silence, and although she didn't have a good impression of Ian, she still felt speechless sadness and anger at his killing by Gergil.

"Ian said that Gegil was targeting the young lady named Ecilia, why didn't you tell Rex about it?" Susan asked curiously, noticing that Erwin only told Rex Gergill about his actions, but not what Gergil's goal was.

"It's not safe around Rex."

Erwin said something that surprised Susan.

This is also one of the reasons why Erwin has always refused to help Rex, the agency specially used by the Sect of the End to collect intelligence, the Demon Long Ear, although the tentacles in the city defense army were cut off by Rex, but Erwin, who has dealt with the Ultimate Cultists many times, knows very well that there are definitely hidden hands under the ambush of the Demon Long Ear in the city defense army that have not been cleared.

Erwin didn't want to have frequent contact with Rex because he didn't want to be exposed to the eyes of the End-of-Life cultists, and as for why he didn't tell Rex, Erwin also hoped that this guy would suffer a little, so as not to be too confident. After all, with his current strength, although he is a qualified demon hunter knight, he is still much worse than the Sect of the End.

If Erwin wants to capture or even kill Gegill, he can't tell Rex everything, and if he makes any arrangements for this, then there is a good chance that it will be leaked to the Finalists hiding in the shadows.

Rex had said that the End-Keepers were observing and seeing Gergil, and Erwin had a feeling that Gergil was actually a test product created by the End-of-Life Cultists.

There will definitely be a connection between the two.

If the news is known to the Cultists, then it is very likely that Gegil will use this to escape or escape, and it will not be easy to find Gegir in the vast sea of people.

"And what are you going to do?" Susan suddenly narrowed her eyes, crossed her hands on her chest, looked Erwin up and down a few times, and asked in a strange tone, "Do you think Gegil will sneak up on that Miss Eicilia, do you plan to be by her side for twelve hours to protect her, and catch Gegill by the way?" ”

"Why do you feel like there is a vinegar smell in your words?"

"Do you want to die?"

Erwin shook his head: "Since Rex has adopted my method, then I will naturally fulfill my responsibility in it, but I don't have time to protect the eldest lady, so the person who protects her is not me, but you." ”

Susan was stunned for a moment: "What? Let me protect her? ”

"Yes, but it's more about ......fishing than protection," Erwin gestured to explain to Susan, "I still have two obvious holes in the way I gave Rex, so our next action is to put two insurances in the holes to make sure that the situation doesn't go too bad." ”

"So what does that have to do with me going to protect that young lady?"

"Of course, you come with me to meet them tomorrow."
