Chapter 122: Raid on the Bell Tower
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling continued to walk forward with the crowd, and the people around them were still immersed in a cheerful atmosphere, but the singing, dancing and the leather lanterns flying in the night no longer had that romantic feeling, but with a strange feeling that made people chill behind their backs. The two of them walked among the slightly crazy people, and their hearts were very worried.
"They look okay though. But...... I always have the feeling of being in a zombie movie, afraid that at some point they will suddenly pounce on me. Xiao Chen was hit from behind by a bouncing teenager, the young man turned around, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, because he was panting, he stretched out a small half of his tongue outside, that appearance was really not much better than a zombie, and he smiled at Xiao Chen apologetically, making this image of himself even more terrifying.
Xiao Chen's heart was beating violently with this honor, "I take back what I just said, this is about to become a zombie, right?"
"Don't scare yourself. Luo Ling complained, but when she spoke, her hand grabbed Xiao Chen's arm.
Xiao Chen took out two scrolls from the space bag and stuffed them into Luo Ling's hands, "Two random teleportation scrolls for one person, use this to escape if it's wrong." ”
Soon, the flow of people dispersed in front of them, and the market area appeared in front of them.
The market is an open space in the middle of the civilian area, and most of the stalls have been temporarily dismantled to welcome the New Year, replaced by a bonfire of more than ten meters each, around which people have already begun to dance, and people from all sides have joined in one after another.
Dancing around the fire was obviously more exciting than dancing while walking, and in Xiao Chen's field of vision, those light clusters that represented spiritual power trembled even more.
"The taste of red thread here is so strong. Luo Ling had already learned the information provided by Tacya from Xiao Chen, "Although this excitement can be suppressed with mental power, it will interfere with our spell casting to some extent. ”
Xiao Chen rummaged through the space bag, found two scarves, and wrapped them around Luo Ling's face twice, covering his mouth and nose, "This will be better." ”
He looked around and saw a bell tower not far away, "Let's go up there." It should be the highest point in this little square, and from above we can see if we can find the. ”
The two went to the bottom of the bell tower and found the door locked from the inside.
"I'll fly up and take a look. He said.
"Wait a minute, if someone is doing something here, will they not occupy the highest point?"
"Makes sense. Xiao Chen held a pistol in one hand and prepared a Heart of Fear magic in the other, and then flew up silently. He flew up from the side of the clock tower with his back to the square, and the people clinging to the dead corners of the wall, and it was difficult for the people inside to find him as long as they did not deliberately poke their heads out and look down.
As he was about to reach the top of the bell tower, he slowed down further and slowly poked his head out.
Sure enough, two heavily armed warriors with crossbow arrows in their hands stood under the bell. Xiao Chen was just about to retreat quietly, when one of the warriors suddenly turned around and stared at him with a big eye.
The warrior exclaimed, raised his crossbow and fired.
However, Xiao Chen was prepared, and as soon as the warrior raised his sword, he shot him in the arm, bursting out a ball of blood, and the crossbow arrow was immediately out of his hand. Immediately after that, the fear displayed by Xiao Chen's left hand exploded in the small space of the tower.
The warrior with his back to him was unsuspected, and the image of fear invaded his mind, and an upside-down onion fell from the tower, without even using his fighting spirit, and directly hit his head on the roof of the second floor, and his brain burst.
The warrior who had been shot was also dizzy from the fear magic and sat down on the ground. Xiao Chen immediately cast a charm technique, and the warrior who had a gap in his heart had no resistance before the charm, and immediately hit the trick.
Wait for Luo Ling to fly up. The warrior had already knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Chen and answered the question respectfully.
"Say your name. Xiao Chen asked.
"My dear lord, Usetta is at your service, and if you don't like the name, you can call me anything. Although the soldier was injured in the arm, he didn't care at all, but looked at Xiao Chen with firm and enthusiastic eyes.
Xiao Chen coughed, didn't look into his eyes, and asked, "Whose warrior did you belong to?"
"I'm the vice-captain of the White Eagle Squad of the City Guard, a mid-level soldier. But now I'm your warrior. ”
"Hee-hee, this person is very charmed. Luo Ling whispered.
"That's why I don't like to use charms," Xiao Chen sighed, "Sometimes it's disgusting to be looked at by a big man with such eyes." ”
Luo Ling nodded in agreement.
"However, not everyone will become so flattering, maybe it's just a matter of character. ”
"My lord, I assure you that there is no problem with my character, especially in the presence of you. ”
"Okay, who's that guy jumping out?"
"That's my subordinate, Larenso, a member of the White Eagle Squad, he is a low-ranking warrior, but a marksman, and it's a pity that he didn't pass the test of adults. Speaking of Larenzo, Urseta looked quite sad, but he didn't seem to have any thoughts of resentment towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling's expressions were a little grim, if these two people were mercenaries, spies, or even people from the Temple of Wisdom, they would not be surprised, but they were actually members of the kingdom's army, which meant that the problem was very serious. Xiao Chen asked again, "What is the White Eagle Squad, who sent you here, and what is the mission?"
Useta raised her head and said proudly, "The White Eagle Squad is the most elite squad in the City Guards, with a total of fifty people. Everyone has mastered the fighting spirit, the captain is a high-level warrior, me and the other eight senior team members are all middle-level warriors, and the rest are also low-level. Our usual task is to deal with the powerful people who appear in the royal capital, and capture or suppress these people who have a fighting spirit or magic that ordinary city guards can't deal with. ”
"Today's mission was given directly by Baron Juvina, the lieutenant of the Marquis of Landines, the commander of the city guard. He sent the entire White Eagle squad out to guard the square. Larenzo and we were tasked with guarding the bell tower and sounding the bell if we found anything out of the ordinary. ”
"What do you mean by an anomaly?"
"That's it...... In the case of the case you just had, a suspicious warrior or mage has entered this square, and we must destroy them and warn them. But I'm not going to warn you now, and you have something important to do here, my lord. Please tell me and I will try to do it for you. ”
"Killing, ruthless enough. Do you know who gave Baron Huvina the order?"
"I don't know, sir. However, it is usually the Marquis of Landinas himself, and no one can jump out of the Marquis to give orders to the Baron. ”
"Do you know what is in the square that is worth guarding for you?"
"I'm sorry sir, I really don't know. ”
"I don't think I can ask much. Xiao Chen said.
"How?" I asked. Luo Ling said.
