Chapter 10: The Ice Forest
Even in the capital under the rain curtain, there are still soldiers on duty, even if they are washed away by the rain, the whole person is a little prostration.
I have to say that they are really dedicated, patrolling and standing guard rain or shine, and I sincerely admire these soldiers.
I walked up to the blue-clad soldier with a sturdy oil-paper umbrella.
When they saw my appearance, their wary eyes turned to compliments.
One of the soldiers, armed with a spear, appears to be the captain.
He stepped forward and said, "Young Master Xu, is there anything wrong with such a heavy rain?" Do you want us to help?"
I shook my head, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked, "I'm here to see my father, do you know where he is?"
If my father had already greeted his subordinates, then I would have asked in vain.
The spearman hesitated, but in order to please me, he still said, "General Xu...... It seems that I went to the Canghai Ice Forest outside the city, which is the place where a monastery was built. β
I raised my eyebrows, my heart frightened.
If your father is not good, is it really that she has a crush on other women?
And then run to the forest for a tryst?
How could it be, how could a father be such a person!
I asked angrily, "Then what is my father doing in the Canghai Ice Forest?"
The spear soldier shook his head: "I'm sorry Young Master Xu, we don't know much about these things. β
His shaking head, like a ghost in the rain, made me feel inexplicably flustered.
βββββββββββββββ
Canghai Ice Forest, a place suitable for the cultivation of star people in the capital.
The vegetation is lush and the trees are thin, but they are tall and lush, and on a sunny day birds chirp one after another.
In order to come here, I also went home and brought [Ice Sword], my first piece of gold equipment.
Although my father also thought about buying me gold and weapons, he was just in power, and he did not take bribes, so he was too poor to be poor.
The gold weapon I wanted has been living in his "Dan'er, next year, next year when you are born, my father will definitely buy it for you", year after year, over and over again.
Along the way, it was not easy, although the ice forest under the rainstorm was not as dangerous as usual, but it was also full of dangers.
"Whew-"
As the wolf howled, I threw away my umbrella and sword in both hands, and the rain drenched my body.
Two wolves, I raised the knife in my hand, and solved it easily.
I continued to walk inside with my red-dyed sword.
Soon after.
Four wolves, I raised the knife in my hand and struggled to solve it.
The further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes.
I hesitated for a moment, and then I stumbled upon a row of footprints of varying shades on the soft soil, flooding with muddy water.
I decided to keep going inside.
Eight wolves, I raised my knife and tried my best to solve it.
Exhausted, I finally reached a fork in the road, holding on to a tree that was a little stronger than the surrounding area to catch my breath.
To the right is the monastery.
But there stood a group of heavily armed soldiers, shielded in their left hand and swords in their right, and they were imposing.
Still standing guard on a rainy day, especially standing guard in the forest, there is definitely a problem!
Could it be that my father's cheating is still letting people go? This is too cautious.
I cautiously hid behind a tree and watched secretly to see what my father would look like when he came out.
The rain on the leaves of the trees gathered into droplets of water, hitting me with cold to the bone, and I couldn't help but shiver.
The clothes are already soaked, and the environment is damp, and if I stay for a long time, even my star strength is a little unbearable.
I don't know how long it has been, but I finally heard the distant and noisy sound of footsteps.
It's finally here.
Huh~ Listening to the voice, it seems that there is a group of people.
Curious, I leaned over and craned my neck to take a look.
In the midst of the rain and the dark forest, a group of blue-armored soldiers arrived from the depths on the left side of the fork.
The middle-aged man in silver armor who walked at the forefront was very conspicuous, and his aura was magnificent, and he was undoubtedly his father.
They seem to have arrested someone.
I vaguely saw two of the soldiers in the group looking at a man dressed in a thin black robe, and the captured man was somewhat familiar.
As they got closer, the two sides talked.
The captain of the soldiers guarding the entrance to the monastery shouted excitedly: "General, caught?"
"I caught it, I waited for more than 2 hours, and I almost let this bastard slip away!" the father replied, full of joy in his big scolding, "Is the strong person for the Holy Throne I applied for?"
"Back to the general, the Holy Throne arrived at the monastery one hour ago......" the commander replied.
The father nodded very satisfied: "Okay! This time I will lay a net in the monastery, and I want that group of people to come and go!"
It turns out that for so many days, my father has been brewing an action.
After a while, my father slowed down and walked in front of the soldiers guarding the road, and finally stopped.
All the soldiers behind him also stopped.
The father turned to look at the hostage, loosened his hands, and said with a playful smile: "Leighton, have you ever thought of today? Hahaha! You won't die, but it will make your life worse than death!"
I was shocked to know that my father had said the man's nameβLayton!
Leighton, the pinnacle of star power, is a well-known alchemist in the capital, proficient in weapon enchantment.
No wonder it feels familiar.
But father, what are you doing with him? Don't you think you've offended enough people?
Layton replied with a dying breath: "Xu Zhan...... The Sect Master will not let it go...... The Xu family's ......"
Master?
To dare to call someone else by the same level as the Pope is definitely a reactionary force!
It's amazing.
Father seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed hideously: "Hahahaha~ Sect Master, don't worry, sooner or later, he will be found out by me! Including the unknown Four Heavenly Kings, they will all die!"
"Yes......" Layton scoffed with all his strength.
The father was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Layton's chin, and said viciously, "I have a list, and if you let it go, you will definitely be uprooted!" But I don't want to do it, because the glory is ...... It's just me!!"
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem......"
In Leighton's dying cough, his father waved his hand and said, "Take it away!"
The group carried a half-dead Layton towards the entrance of the monastery, and gradually disappeared into the rain, leaving me with my mouth covered.
I don't believe it! I don't believe that my father is so crazy, and it terrifies me.
I couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, but my father's behavior was really scary.
He's hatching a crazy plan to imprison Leighton in the monastery and let the unknown organization rescue him!
This plan is too risky, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the games.
Once the opponent's rescue force exceeds the monastery's defensive ability, the consequences are unimaginable!
But I can't stop my father!
I never dared to fight against him, and I couldn't find the confidence to refute him.
What else can I do but pray?
But my father already planned to take all the credit, and if he did this many times, my father would also be ruined.
After all, my father had concealed information about the reactionaries and did not report it.
After all, I'm too weak, in this turmoil, the star is a cannon fodder-like existence, and I can't turn over a wave.
Is this the pathetic of the weak?
