Chapter 72: Black Rain Strategy (13)
Meludina is now in a dilemma, on the one hand, the suspicion of Nabe's people makes her a little anxious, and she wants to bring the news to Jace, and the closest distance back to the castle is the way she came, if she returns the same way, she will inevitably go the same way as Nabei and her party, and she can only fall behind, but this is likely to be discovered by the woman with facial paralysis, and the prestige of the chief student is not covered.
On the other hand, she was also worried that she was too careful, and Nabe's party might not have come to trouble Jace. The news from the mentor mentioned that there was a breakthrough in biophysical spells, and the direction of the breakthrough was related to the evolution of the human body, and she was worried that if she didn't get this information as soon as possible, Jace would be in danger of absorbing the unknown energy again.
She was still very confident about Jace's ability, and she didn't necessarily need to go in person to deliver the news, but she only had a short-range communication crystal in her hand, and the higher-level ruby crystal came to the Black Rain Swamp this time but didn't carry it.
Meludina turned to look at the remaining two beside her, and said, "You should immediately find a way to go back to the Marquis of Jace, tell him that Lehman has sent someone to the swamp, let him be careful, he can't walk the way he came, think of another way to go back, try to rush back to the castle before dark, and, if possible, find the nearby tribe as soon as possible, find a way to get a letter eagle, and pass the news to Marquis Jace, act now!"
The two immediately bowed down and took the order, and Meludina watched the two leave, gritted her teeth and continued to accelerate towards the outside of the swamp...
Nabei activated the ruby crystal and soon contacted Yuri, Yuri showed a look of doubt after listening to Nabei's narration, he looked at Rasdell who was frowning on the side, Rasdell shook his head and said in confusion: "Master Nabe, are you sure that the female mage is Meludina Sain?"
Nabei's voice came from the voice emitted by the crystal ripples, "It's just that she claims to be self-proclaimed, but what can be confirmed is that her levitation technique is indeed from the Holy Tower, and her neckline also has the unique mark of the Holy Tower, it should be true that she is a student of the Holy Tower, and it seems unlikely that there will be two people with the same name and surname in the academy." β
Rustel said, "Then what is she doing here?" The last time we met was in the imperial capital, and she said that she wanted to go back to the Cloud Country for a while, but she didn't say that she wanted to come here. β
Yuri listened to Rustel's self-talk, shook his head, and said, "Do you believe what she says?" You can hear her temptation in her words, and your best friend seems to be hiding a big secret, and she uses my name to test you, she may not be unrelated to this series of events, but she is not very good at it, and she has so easily exposed the information we want to know. β
Yuri pondered slightly, "Master Nabe, can you catch up with her now?" No, forget it, it should be too late, let's continue to follow the plan, Hasdel, whether your best friend is involved or not, we will soon find out." β
Yuri estimated the time and said, "Speed up, I should be able to reach the bazaar of the White Frost tribe at noon, and you should come as soon as possible." β
Yuri closed the communication, looked at Rustel, who had a somewhat unsightly expression, and said with a smile: "Don't get entangled, anyone has the right to choose their own path, and things can't be as good as they should be, let's go." β
Yuri waved his hand and let the dozen people move on, and after hearing Yuri's words, Rasdel bit her lip and followed Yuri without saying anything.
At close to noon, everyone has come to the lower white frost tribal market in the mouth of Xiao Hei, this is a village built on the water, the village covers a large area, there are nearly 100 shacks of different sizes as far as the eye can see, the shacks are high and low, most of them are built with swamp materials, there are a few buildings in the middle that are not swamp style at a glance are particularly dazzling, at a glance it is built by outsiders, except for those few foreign buildings, the whole bazaar is almost overhead on the water, and the dense log piles below support this water villageγ
On the wooden pontoon bridge and plank road that is not spacious, there are a lot of swamp natives who are busy back and forth, and some slightly spacious platforms are full of stalls, and occasionally you can see some people wearing foreign clothes wandering around the stalls.
Yuri called out to Xiao Hei, "Is there a hotel in this water village?"
Xiao Hei said: "Yes, but they are all opened by those outsiders, many outsiders who come to the swamp will choose to live there, that long row of white-roofed attics should be, I heard that there is a lot of chaos there, often accidents, every time we come here to sell things, we don't dare to approach there, it is said that the people who live in, there are many people who have not come out again, of course, this is just heard, people near our tribe have not disappeared here." β
Yuri nodded and said, "I'll go and have a look first, you guys will find a place to settle down by yourself first, and wait for my news." β
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "Okay, my lord, we will rest in the stockade downstream of the stockade." β
Yuri nodded, and led Rustel along the old plank boardwalk, Rustel whispered, "Could this be the waterhouse in the image?"
Yuri shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, but it may not be without gains, don't worry, since you're here, it's a trip, go to the front and see if there's anything good." β
Yuri looked at the buildings in the center of the stockade, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Let's go and see who these so-called outsiders are. β
Yuri and the two walked all the way to the center of the water village, and the natives along the way saw the two of them, all of them showed a look of vigilance, and some even retreated directly, Yuri frowned slightly when he saw this, but he did not stop, and at this time, on the top of a three-story wooden attic, the tallest building in the water village, there was a person watching the two people who were coming, and when this person saw the person, he showed a puzzled look in his eyes, and asked a gorgeous indigenous woman who was waiting next to him: "Ulena, have there been any new faces coming to the lower hoarfrost recently?"
The bewitching native woman shook her head and said, "My lord, there are no new faces coming, if there is, I should know." β
"Then come and see, do you recognize these two people?"
The man pointed to Yuri and the two who had just entered the market, and the woman named Ulena immediately got up and walked to the window, looking in the direction the man was pointing, and when her eyes saw Yuri in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, what a handsome man, she seemed to sense that something was wrong with herself, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I haven't seen them, I think these two are real faces, look at their dress, there should be some origins, do you want me to test them?"
The man sneered and said, "Why haven't I seen you test anyone before?"
The gorgeous woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Oh, my lord, what are you talking about? I only have you in my eyes, don't you know me now? This is a great wronged me, none of the outsiders who can come here are simple, I am not worried that someone will come to destroy our business! That is, the adults see me in their eyes, my little appearance is too common in the world outside the swamp, the adults can pick me, I am too late to be grateful, how can I think of other men?"
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he said, "Okay, what are you thinking, I can probably think of it, don't worry!" You won't be less than a penny, you don't have to give me a jar of ecstasy soup here, there are some things you can do, don't let me grab the handle, you did things too explicit before, the bad reputation has been spread, many tribes don't dare to come here anymore, how to make up for the gap is the problem you should think about now, and then there is, now the goods are very picky, if you don't gain any more, I can only give up here. β
A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the gorgeous woman, and she hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not that we don't want to, it's really unimaginable, there are a few powerful warriors in the entire swamp now, my lord, you have to help us think of a way!"
The man's eyes showed a look of mockery and said: "Haha, joke, I'll figure out a way for you!? Then what do you want you to do!? I think you have just passed two good days, and you have forgotten who you are! I don't care! If you can't hand over the goods again, not only will I have to leave, but your tribe will probably also become a source of goods! You can do it yourself!"
The woman's eyes flashed with anxiety and said: "Then please give me some more time, I will think of a way, if it really doesn't, then I can only blame those warriors for their misery!"
The man waved his hand impatiently to let the woman out, and the woman lowered her eyebrows and exited the room, went down to the attic, and when she went down to the first floor, her eyes flashed with resentment! Suddenly her eyes were aimed at the door, and she could already see the two outsiders in the distance, she looked at the figure in the distance, and said hatefully: "Outsiders, you should all die! It was you who broke the silence of the swamp! Now let me get some interest from you!"
The gorgeous woman hid the resentment in her eyes, tidied up her appearance, walked out of the attic with a smile, and walked in the direction of Yuri and the others...
In the underground palace of the huge castle built against the mountains in the Nameless Valley, Jace Hesso was staring coldly at the werewolf warlock in front of him in a sealed test robe.
The werewolf warlock didn't seem to notice the unhappiness on Jace's face, and opened his mouth and smiled, "Oh, Lord Marquis, when are you coming back, are you here to inspect my work?
The werewolf's words were interrupted by Jace, who squinted at the werewolf warlock and said, "Ewing, who allowed you to implant the demonization of Bata?"
A strange look flashed in the werewolf warlock's eyes and said: "Oh, my lord, you already know? You can't blame us for this, it was he who asked for it, I also used a rare demon that I accidentally summoned for him, his biological reaction is perfect, the enhanced characteristics of the Eratan demon have made his overall quality rise by nearly thirty percent, this is really a gratifying result, I still have the image of the experiment at that time, do you want to take a look? Have you already seen Clement? Are you stunned by his strength?" But it's a pity that there is only one hatchling of this demon, and it has already been used on your uncle, and if the marquis wants to use it, I'm afraid he will have to wait. Of course, I've got something new to discover, my lord..."
Jace kept looking at the werewolf warlock Ewing until he stopped, and then said coldly, "Are you finished?"
Ewing realized that Jace's face was not quite right, and he was about to speak, but he heard Jace say: "It's a pity that your product failed, and Bataclement has been killed...!"
