Chapter 0087: Wanghai Tower
The sun rose, and the Black Gem City revealed its true face, and the streets near and far stretched out in the still prosperous small city, and there were no pedestrians on the streets except for Alvin and the others.
It was on the edge of a small city, and the rebels and the lord's army were facing off at the lord's mansion, and the rebels were temporarily unable to pay attention to the corners, and the area near the gate was not affected by the war disaster for the time being.
Standing on top of the dam, the two Knight Zhenhai Towers watch over each other through the sluices, choking the throat connecting the inland sea with the outer sea, guarding patrols, and the armor and swords are shining, and passers-by on the nearby streets can't help but glance at the towers.
Usually this place is idlers are not allowed to enter, and the guards are strict, but at this time, it is even more murderous that no one can approach.
Hundreds of steps away from the Wanghai Tower is a wooden building, much shorter than the tower but abrupt in the inland sea, surrounded by water on three sides, is the best place to watch the sunrise in the city, enjoy the sea view, and is also the most willing to settle in the small shop of the black gem merchants from the inland.
Alwin walked at the gate of Wanghai Tower and looked at the tower opposite, turned to walk inside, and when he was about to enter the door, the little boy who was caught off guard and was about to pass by bumped into him.
"Be careful!"
"Hey!"
"Is that you?" "Is that you?" the cold light flashed, and Alwin slapped the child's wrist with his backhand, and the boning knife fell to the ground, but the child was also clever, and he turned around and fled without a knife, and the two guards saw that he was going to the town guard tower, and it was not good to openly chase after the garrison for fear of alarming the garrison.
The cloak was lifted and Elwin saw the child's face as he ran.
"Coming here?"
He reacted in time and was not injured, but he felt that something was wrong there, the second time they collided, this time it was not stealing but stabbing over, this knife was not aimed at the little nobleman but directly to his waist, very strange, recognized the wrong person or the hatred was transferred.
He glanced at Onslow next to him and saw that the other party was also confused. He shook his head, a child, he couldn't get rid of it and it was not easy to kill, his face was a little distressed.
The business was already light, and some guests were frightened, and the people from Wanghailou came to check, and then the boss also came out to greet them.
"Master Onslow is frightened......"
"It must be a wild child who followed into the city, lawless......"
There are acquaintances who are easy to do, there are no dangers, everyone has no losses, they are polite to each other, and the boss leads Winslow through the hall to the second floor.
Wanghai Tower has only three floors, two floors are used for banquet halls, and the third floor is used for accommodation.
The hall was empty and deserted, there were still diners, hiding in the corners, after all, they all had to eat and let everyone get together to whisper, exchange the latest developments of the war in the city, and comfort each other or huddle together to keep warm, all nervous, sad, cautious, the atmosphere in the hall was depressing and gloomy.
At this time, there were many merchants who had not had time to retreat during the civil uprising, and after besieging the city for more than a month, these people were not very worried, because the popular rebellion and slave rebellion that oppressed the cruel Faroran were commonplace, and there were only a handful of events that could break through the city, so they were still relatively patient and calmly waiting for the news of Lord Chris's victory in counterinsurgency.
Last night, the situation was complicated by the loss of the city gates, and the sudden change in the situation made everyone feel troubled, and the people were terrified, and once the chaos broke out, the war spread to the city, and no matter which side of the rebels caught the merchants, it always fell into two categories: robbery and all kinds of abuse and killing.
As soon as Alwin entered the door, they became alert, and the sharp-eyed people saw their swords on them, and they also moved their hands outside, some turned sideways, some put up their collars and cloaks, and several guard-looking people looked serious, stopped their backs, put their hands under their clothes, and kept looking at the four of them with the eyes of a thief.
The boss arranged a private room by the window, closed the door, and Alvin looked out in front of the window, the sea breeze was blowing, the hot air flowed, and it was slightly cool and a little hot.
“...... The two knight towers were built on top of the dam, and there was an iron gate in the middle of the dam to prevent the kraken from entering the inland sea...... The control noose is in two towers, and it needs to be activated at the same time. ”
If the boss was still there at this time, he would have found that Young Master Onslow, who had made him grovel, was talking to Alwyn in a low voice at this time, and his attitude was respectful.
Alvin looked at the inland sea, a blue plane dotted with a few gray hills, probably a hidden cave like Whale Island, the clipper was trapped in it, it was impossible to find it, he planned to send a signal directly to Hezel Ponny, inviting her to come out and sing a whale song.
"If there is a Hercules, it can't be opened from underwater?"
"The gate was covered with iron nails and barbs, and it hurt when it was encountered, and there were many Kraken attacks, but the gate was stopped, and once the blood stained the sea red, and the ferocious demon shark still failed to crash in. Moreover, there are knights guarding the tower, and there are also giant spears and crossbows, which are extremely lethal, and they have repeatedly shot and repelled the red copper monsters. ”
The so-called giant spear crossbow is a heavy weapon, and it is a spear that is fired, and the lethality is amazing, and it can also frighten the red copper monster, except for the trebuchet in this era, it is the most powerful.
With this spear in place, Hezel Ponny would also be in danger if she got close.
This tower is called Zhenhai Tower, and there is really some truth to it, and there is a set of ways to suppress the kraken.
"Oh...... It's a bit tricky. Alvin was slightly worried.
Subsidence should be able to collapse the dam and bring down the gates, but it will be difficult to stand up again. In the middle of this, if the Kraken attacks, I am afraid that I will have to take the lives of a group of people as heavy as a whale.
This method is unreasonable and must not be used, he shook his head gently.
"Ask a soldier to take down the two towers and open the floodgates. Buckley interjected, and Hadley nodded.
"It's also a way, to the point where there is nothing to be done, for the time being, let's not make such a big fuss. We should only stay behind the scenes, try to avoid contact with the lord's people, and not reveal our identities...... It's best to take all the people who have been photographed with them, so as not to leave a false excuse. ”
Buckley and Hadley would not take the slave knight and the demon slave seriously, but Onslow and Alvin had only been in it for a few days, thinking that he was really a mercenary businessman, and asked for a while, "Master...... Just now...... That's what you think?"
"Otherwise?" Alwin's face sank, he really thought of the master as a human trafficker - in fact, he was a human trafficker, but the method of selling was different.
Bucklay, Hadley, and Onslow, who were sitting together, really understood the reason why Alvin had transported Jokor, Sham, and Megabe back to the ship, and that they could not be killed, but could only be taken captive, otherwise someone would secretly report that the Lord of Silversand had participated in the rebel army.
The three of them couldn't help but giggle and nod their heads in approval.
The world is cruel, for the sake of secrecy, many things are done as a last resort, and killing people is not a big deal, even if Alvin did it, they would not think how cruel and unkind he was.
As long as the people are brought back to the silver sand collar and brought over, everyone is in the same boat, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets.
Leaving a way to live and thinking carefully to protect oneself is more clever and noble, and it will naturally be more impressive, after all, everyone is willing to be close to good people.
Especially Wenslow, who had experienced the incident at the docks, he had only been reduced to slavery as if he was dead, a walking corpse for the slave owner to drive, and now thinking about it, things may not be so bad, and his good life may still be there, thinking about it, his zombie-like cool heart gradually warmed up.
"The control noose is in the two towers, and you need to exert force at the same time to open the ......," Alwyn repeated Onslow's words to the two guards, "I'll rest here for a while, you two go to the other side and take the tower when you have the chance, here I want to figure out a way." ”
The two guards were ordered to go downstairs, and after a while Alvin saw two figures dangling across the dam, like tourists, and at this moment, the sound of commotion faintly came from the east.
"Could it be that if Jogo and Maeve have won the battle and come to occupy the tower, then God will help me, and the mission will be almost completed. ”
Alvin looked at the subtitles in his head:
【Mission】Save the Clipper: The whale clipper is imprisoned, and the parents and brothers of the clan are cruising in the open sea in anticipation of its return, breaking the cage and letting it return.
【Reward】Perfect multi-water archery.
Is this mission just a hitchhiker?
Someone is doing the work, and he only needs to settle the reward?
