Chapter 36 Crossing the River

Greenfield, who was at the back, noticed the strangeness of the two, and hurriedly drove forward and asked in a low voice, "Lord Su Wen, but what's wrong?"

"There's a black rope club nearby. Su Wen replied truthfully.

Greenfield was shocked when he heard this, and when he saw that Su Wen was not joking, his expression suddenly became serious, and then he exchanged a few words with the other two soldiers, and stopped on the side of the road with a few people.

There was still half an hour before the ship left, and the small square outside the dock was crowded with people waiting to board the boat, and the behavior of several people seemed normal to others, and did not attract anyone's attention.

Marlena reined in her horse and looked down at the reins, as if she remembered the shadow in her heart again, and was a little worried.

"The guy sitting on the railing at the dock intersection in front of him, wearing a hat. Su Wenping looked ahead and pointed out the Black Rope Killer.

"Kid?!" Marina glanced up, then quickly looked away.

Sitting on the railing was a thin and weak child, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and his cold gaze under the brim of his hat scanning the passers-by.

Greenfell and the two soldiers didn't turn their heads, knowing that it was impossible for the Black Rope Killer not to feel the gaze looking at him at the same time. If exposed, it's dangerous.

However, Ellie obviously didn't know this small detail, even if she could tell the killer of the Black Rope Society by smell, she still stuck her head out and watched non-stop.

The little boy apparently noticed Ellie's gaze as well, and raised his head, but replaced it with an innocent look and met Ellie's eyes. Ellie gave a friendly smile that reassured the little boy.

"The man didn't notice us, it seemed like a routine surveillance. Ellie retracted her gaze and said to the group.

"The Black Rope knew that the mission had failed, and set up surveillance points at various docks. "They knew that if they wanted to get back to Snow Castle, they would have to cross the river, and that was the safest way to do so," Greenfell analyzed......

"And ...... we?" asked Marina.

"Don't worry. Su Wen smiled at Marina, as if to soothe her emotions, and then said, "Just get on the boat directly." ”

"In the next suggestion, it is better to transfer to a private passenger boat to cross the river......

Su Wen shook his head: "Private passenger ships are easier to expose, if the black rope will be a big organization like you said, it will definitely not let you have time to drill, besides, there is still me." ”

"Just listen to Mr. Su Wen......" Marlena seemed to finish thinking and expressed her opinion.

"Just call me Su Wen. ”

Ma Lina added an honorific title at the back, which made Su Wen feel a little unaccustomed.

When the time came to board the boat, the scattered people in the small square gathered into a stream of people, and under the command of the city guards, a column of walkers and a column of mounts, moved to the boat in an orderly manner.

The little boy in the hat leaned to the side, still maintaining a cold gaze, scanning the passing crowd, but his gaze was much more detailed than just now.

He focused on young women, and kept in mind the characteristics of the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Snow Castle. In the flow of people, there are few women, and he is confident that under such conditions, any disguise will not hide his trained professional eyes.

A beautiful woman with flaxen hair rode past the little boy and looked at him curiously.

Hair color, eye color, skin color, all wrong, the difference in appearance is too big, from the physiognomy of the world, there are two silent men behind him, probably a young lady who ran out of a big family.

The boy quickly drew conclusions to the woman he had looked at before, and then turned to look at the others.

When his gaze shifted to the person behind him, the little boy looked puzzled, blinked in disbelief, and looked again.

Long blond hair, a face similar to that of the portrait, and a gaze that hangs down, as if deliberately avoiding the gaze of others.

The illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Snow Castle!

Target Discovery!

The little boy showed a hideous smile, felt out a transparent spar, and quietly crushed it. The dust scattered in all directions, and a wave of magical power spread out like nothing.

Naive!

The little boy pulled out his ticket and blended into the crowd.

Naive.

Su Wen shook his head, from the time he got on the boat, he had already locked on the little boy.

As long as the ship opens, a relatively confined space will be formed, and if the people of the Black Rope Society want to assassinate Marina, they will not make a big fuss, they will only look for opportunities and secretly attack.

If Black Rope doesn't care about the lives of this boatload of people and wants the whole boatload to bury Marina, then that's another story. Of course, with the Black Rope Society's way of doing things, it should not involve unrelated people to come in.

They got on the boats, tied their horses to the stables, and sat down on the seats.

According to the speed of the river crossing boat, it takes nearly 1 hour to cross the Longjiang River. In other words, within this hour, the Black Rope Club is likely to start.

Marina, who was the target, was looking at the river outside the cabin, and seemed to have left all her worries behind. Three elite soldiers of the Snow Eagle Knights sat around Marlena in a stealthy defensive formation, seemingly playing a protective role. But it also exposed Marina's important identity to people who know how to do it.

Ellie's head was resting on the side of the boat, and she was also looking at the river, the Longjiang River, known as the mother river of the Makeno Empire, which she had seen for the first time. I thought I would be very happy, but I couldn't get excited because of the influence of the aura of the Black Rope Society lurking around me.

"This is Longjiang. ”

Su Wen sat next to Ellie, looked at the same place, and sighed.

"yes. ”

"Not scared?"

"It's a little better. ”

The experience of these days is something Ellie has never expected before, and now it seems that Ellie is still in a state of adapting to this kind of life. Judging by her mental state, it seems to be interesting to go through this kind of thing.

Su Wen saw that Ellie was in good shape, so she tilted her head back and looked at the traveler on the boat.

Most of those who are willing to spend more silver for their mounts are adventurers. Most of the merchants who traveled between the two sides of the strait placed a horse in each of the northern and southern cities, exempting them from the high freight costs.

There were five people who focused their attention on Marina, but only four of them were from the Black Rope Society, and one of them was the kid from the docks. The other three Black Rope Society assassins were located in different places, faintly surrounded.

The other person who noticed Marlena was a bearded adventurer in her prime. He seemed to recognize the Assassins of the Black Rope Society, and following the gaze of the assassins, he noticed Marina sitting in her seat.

The strength of the middle-aged adventurer is about the same as that of Shelton III's bodyguard, and maybe even stronger, and on this ship, he should be one of the best masters.

The boat moved unhurriedly in the river, and a little sadness gradually appeared on Marina's face.

Fears of the Black Rope Assassins were building, and the later they struck, the more pressure Marlena would bear.

Ellie noticed this earlier than Su Wen, but she didn't know how to calm Marina's fear, so she had to sit next to her, in a hurry.

After a while, Su Wen finally noticed this, so he stepped forward and asked Marina.

"Otherwise, I'll get rid of them first, how about it?"
