Chapter 64: Shocking Change
Tarrant glanced at Rex, signaling warning, no one who appeared at this time was a good stubble, Rex knew that his right hand was on the handle of the mace, and the two followed Wolf into the big house.
The interior of the big house has a strict damp smell, the floor on the ground is gray-black, both sides have been rolled up, it seems to have been soaked in water, the layout is similar to a conference room, simple sofas and tables, the walls are separated by wooden boards, at this moment, there are four corpses lying on the floor, one of them has a small wound on the back, should be stabbed in the heart to death, backstab, the other three cut their throats, the blood spurting from the throat stained the sofa red, the scene is very bloody.
Belonging to the brutal battlefield of falcons, the stalker will not waste time on the prey, and the first target of the attack is to kill.
Wolf looked at the couch and sat down in a place where there was no blood spatter, and motioned for Tarrant and the two to sit down.
There was a smell of blood on the couch, and Tarrant said, "Excuse me, when will Astin come?"
"Soon, the protagonists are going to appear, knights, don't worry, we will have a wonderful night", the corners of his mouth moved, as if he was smiling, but he didn't seem to be smiling, he pointed to the corpse, "Move them all, wipe the floor clean, and use it here in the future!"
A few sturdy black shadows appeared at the door, and the thieves around them respectfully retreated to make a way, and the thieves who stood at the door bowed their heads and saluted, and when the candlelight touched the black shadows, the red ribbon was fluttering slightly, and the leather armor he wore was not the same as last time, but black, as if he had seen it on the body of the Night Warrior.
Wolf stood up and stepped back to the couch, "It's all ready." ”
"Actions on your own turf should be efficient and low-moving," Justin said, staring at the dark red floor, a little dissatisfied.
"Yes!" Wolf bowed his head in acknowledgement.
Behind Yastin was followed by three other people, one in gray leather armor and a dagger, one in dark red leather armor and a dagger, and another in black leather armor and a short sword, these four people should be the characters that the prophet had just detected, his own people.
Justin looked at Tarrant, "Knights, thank you for your cooperation, I will keep my promise." ”
"It's better to be so. ”
"Let's go meet Patrick", Justin walked to the side of the couch.
A thief held a thick rope and pulled hard, and a passage of about a square meter appeared next to the sofa, leading down the stairs.
Wolf went down first, the stairs rustling and dampier than the upstairs floor.
Astin and his retinue walked down the stairs together, and the thieves blew out the candles, and the hall on the first floor immediately fell into darkness, with only a glimmer of light shining through the staircase below, and Tarrant and Rex followed down the stairs.
The staircase is very long, about six meters or so, the basement below has begun to take shape the scale of the wharf, about two hundred square meters, half of the room is paved with wooden planks, there are various shelves, the other half of the river is a pool, it should be the canal embankment was dug out of this piece to build this room, when the mechanism is opened, this pool and the canal are connected, hidden dock, the military will not think that the lower body of this house has crossed the canal.
The candle flame reflected the damp realm, and the surrounding scene was shaky, the light was too dim, and Yastin commanded, "Light the candles." ”
Wolf took out two candles from his bosom and inserted them in the candlesticks on either side, and when they were lit, the light was much stronger.
Justin stood expressionless, his hands folded over his chest, silent, staring at the pool.
Others also remained silent, waiting for the arrival of the supreme leader.
Tarrant stood aside and observed the members of the Falcon, all dressed as thieves, expressionless, and obedient to Astin, these three were probably the most loyal and elite falcons under Astin Justin, and Patrick could not have had a chance to win without bringing the same number of followers.
The room was filled with the smell of the canal, which was fishy, a smell that only sailors who had been at sea all year round could bear, and Tarrant tried to breathe as hard as he could, and he could breathe less of the disgusting air.
After about a few tens of minutes, the silence was broken by the sound of paddling from outside the pool, sounding like a boat made of wooden pulp.
Worf stepped forward and said, "It's about the same time, it should be him." ”
Astin turned his head and nodded to a thief standing by the wall, the thief pulled the trap box, and the partition on the opposite side of the pool slowly rose, and the pool and the canal outside were indeed connected, and a small boat three meters high and ten meters long above the water was parked outside.
When the partition was fully raised, and the boatman in front of the boat rowed with great difficulty, the wooden boat slowly entered the pool, and the boatman shouted into the cabin, "My lord, we have arrived at Siant." ”
Wolf sneered and stepped forward to catch the rope thrown by the boatman, and tied it firmly to the stake by the pool.
As soon as the boat stopped, the thief who activated the partition of the pool immediately closed the trap box, and the partition closed downward under the force of gravity.
There was a sound of "stampeding" footsteps in the cabin, and there were not many people, but they all weighed more than 70 kilograms.
Justin stared at the cabin, his posture still as the falcons behind him nervously rested their hands on their weapons at their waists.
A sturdy man of about 1.8 meters appeared at the door of the cabin, his muscles were very strong, the leather armor on his body glowed slightly black under the candlelight, there were daggers on the left and right, and he was good at dual weapons, he looked at the people who greeted him by the pool, and said to the cabin: "My lord, Astin is waiting here." ”
At the door of the cabin, another person appeared, slightly fatter, about one meter seven, wearing cloth armor, unable to see his face clearly, he said: "Yastin, why are you here?"
This person should be Patrick, he jumped out of the boat and walked towards Yastin, with a round face, short hair, and a very majestic look, "It's okay for Moqi to come later, you don't have to come to pick me up." "He has a neutral voice and a leader's demeanor.
Another sturdy man came out of the cabin, and there seemed to be no one behind him, so Patrick took two followers with him. Although the two retinues were strong, it was not enough to deal with these people in the room, and Tarrant was confident that the battle would end in an instant, the pool partition had been closed, and the ship could not get out.
Justin turned his back and walked over to Patrick's side, "My lord, I'm here to greet you. ”
"Oh, is there anything wrong with you?" Patrick immediately noticed that there were two knights standing here, and there were no knights in the falcon, and he asked in a loud voice, "Why are there outsiders here?"
"They," Justin turned his head to look at Tarrant and Rex, "and they're here for the same purpose as you. ”
"What do you mean?" Patrick walked over to the two knights, puzzled, "You found it?"
Tarrant was equally puzzled by the fact that Justin meant something different.
Ignoring their doubts, Justin followed Patrick and continued to ask, "My lord, I heard that you are here for the mysterious creature?"
Patrick stared at Tarrant closely, "It's the Knights of the Light of Shelter and the Storm, what are you doing here", he asked Astin.
"These two knights are investigating the events related to that mysterious creature, and they have heard that you are coming, so they have come with me to meet you. ”
"Has the Sant's falcon become a social meeting now!" Patrick retorted.
Tarrant stepped forward, "We've found some connection between the Falcon and the recent Psionic incident, so we've asked to meet you. The mystical creature was so tactful, he didn't feel the need to be so cautious.
"The Falcon never has to be interfered with in its housekeeping," said Patrick sternly, glaring at Justin in disappointment as he walked up the stairs, where two attendants followed closely at the top of the stairs.
Wolf immediately looked at Astin inquiringly, and Astin nodded in acquiescence, he was in no hurry to do it now, the building and the entire area were under his control.
Everyone began to return to the first floor, and Rex whispered, "Tarrant, something is wrong. ”
Tarrant had noticed a change in Astin and Wolf's attitudes, and he had to deal with it randomly, and he whispered, "It depends. ”
The prophet's psychic link sounded again, "I have detected a great grandmaster-level stalker, whose physical attributes are very powerful, and he is at the same energy level as the believer, and there are many grandmaster-level and master-level figures in your area, if it weren't for your people, the battle should start immediately!"
He only casts the identification technique once every twenty minutes, so he has just detected the arrival of the three Patricks, and it should be that one of these three people has extraordinary physical strength, but even with such a strong ability, in the face of so many people in the room, Tarrant is not worried, and the chances of victory here are still relatively large.
There was no sign of the thieves in the first floor room, they were all hidden, and only Wolf knew how many people were ambushed around. Patrick noticed the anomaly, and there was blood all over the couch, "What's going on here!"
"There was a battle this morning, and a force in the docklands tried to seize our docks. ”
"Wipe that force out of the docklands once and for all", Patrick ordered lightly, and he walked to the door, "Yastin, I'm going to see you tomorrow morning. "He's going to leave.
"My lord, please wait a moment", Justin glanced at one of his attendants, who rushed to the door, holding the door with his left hand, and asked Patrick to come back.
This was a great offense, Patrick turned, his eyebrows squeezed slightly towards the middle, no one dared to do that with his current position, and the hands of the two attendants rested on the handle of the weapon.
"There's something important that needs to be reported to you right now," Astin said as he sat on the couch, blood clotted under his feet.
"Tomorrow," Patrick glared at the thief holding the door.
The thief didn't get Yastin's indication and resolutely refused to let him, and the meaning was clear.
Patrick's retinue quickly drew their daggers and slashed them into the thief's throat, who leaned back sharply, his right hand also blocking the attack.
Patrick was completely enraged, but remained calm, and raised his voice and said, "I thought the Siant Falcon was still under my control!"
Astin leaned back on the couch, unconcerned about the blood stains beside him, "Your Excellency, you are indeed in control. ”
"What do you want to talk about?"
"The purpose of your visit. Have you heard about our new alliance?" Astin lowered his eyes and fired sharply at Patlik.
"What new ally, you haven't asked me for advice," Patrick walked over to the couch and sat down across from Astin.
"Now is the right opportunity, there is no one else here, I formally ask you, agree to my proposal. ”
I don't know how to understand this phrase without anyone else, it means that there are no outsiders, or ...... What else do you mean, Tarrant and Rex glanced at each other, and what Justin said had nothing to do with the agreed cooperation.
Patrick looked around at the environment in the room, it was all Astin people, he stretched out his arms and leaned back on the sofa in a comfortable position, "What do you say, say it and let me listen." ”
Yastin leaned forward slightly, and said coldly, "Ally with the Spirit Sucker and rule over the redstone." ”
