Chapter 60: Fake Death
On the narrow mountain path, a thick tree trunk was horizontal, and behind the trunk, four men with weapons stood in hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You...... You ......"
The sailors climbed up the hillside to the left and right of the trail like monkeys, raised their handcuffs, and the four men turned and slipped away without even finishing a sentence.
Magellan kicked the trunk of the tree that was leaning on the hillside, and his face was gloomy.
"Change formation. ”
The team carried out the order in silence, the donkey cart and Medea were left last, and the sailor, who had been resting in the cart, walked to the front of the queue with his weapons.
As they took to the avenue, the sailors changed formation again, and the armed men formed a circle, with the donkey cart and Medea in the middle, and the Count of Monte Cristo was lucky enough to get a parking space.
"What the hell is going on?"
While resting on the way, the Count finally found an opportunity to ask this question to Magellan, who had been silent.
"Hyena ...... They want to turn me into carrion. ”
"Does it work?"
"Among the explorers, there are many scavengers, and hyenas are only the most powerful group. ”
"Will it be troublesome?"
"No, I'm not a lion, I'm a dragon. ”
"Dragon?
Magellan exhaled a long breath and did not answer.
......
Athens, Explorer's Bazaar.
Magellan and his crew stayed in the hotel, did not go to the docks to find Edward as agreed, and did not even ask any sailor to deliver the news. It's been a few days since they came back, but the team members have only stayed in the hotel, and rarely even go out.
"I don't think you need to be so cautious...... The explorer in your mouth is more terrible than the royal purchaser of the king of the world......"
The count was not as bored and crazy as the sailors, but he was unimpressed by Magellan's orders.
Magellan sat at the table, holding a knife and carving a fruit from Celeste: "Did you know that hyenas sometimes hunt live animals? ”
For the first time, the Count showed disdain on his gloomy face, and the strange incongruity brought about by the makeup was magnified, and it looked a little ridiculous: "I believe that explorers have a keen sense of smell, but I do not believe that they have the toughness of hyenas. ”
"This is where the real trouble is. Magellan placed a white translucent coiled dragon on the table, "This is, dragon." ”
"Supernatural power?"
"Nope. ”
When the Count's hand reached for the carved fruit, the door was opened.
"The third child!"
A stout middle-aged man poked his head into the room, and then looked surprised.
"I'm sorry I made the mistake. ”
With that, he closed the door and left.
The Count withdrew his outstretched hand.
"This is the third time today. Magellan, with a breezy face, picked up another fruit from his plate and began carving.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"Don't tell anyone, or these sailors who are as unafraid as Mother Hai will get me in trouble. ”
"Maybe you can try to trust them. ”
"I trust anyone, but I don't depend on anyone...... "Magellan stretched, "Anyway, it's a rare break, enjoy it." ”
In silence, the Count picked up the dragon carved from fruit and placed it in front of his eyes.
"They shouldn't just be ...... like this"
"No, they're explorers," Magellan smiled, "what do you think they'll do? like the Emperor's royal purchasers?"
"What if someone sets fire to this inn now?"
"When he lit the torch, there would be a lot of people quietly letting the fire go out. ”
The Count looked out the window, and downstairs, where he could not see, a man who had lit a torch fell to the ground, his blood dousing the flames.
......
It had been five days in the inn, and even the dullest sailors felt the pervasive hostility, but they could not understand it.
The explorers went from "struggling" to "stumbling at night" and then to breaking openly, almost scrambling to get into Magellan's room, but unfortunately, all of them returned in vain.
Eventually, they lost their patience.
When the Count heard gunshots coming from Magellan's room next door and rushed out of the room, he saw the backs of a group of armed explorers disappearing under the stairs.
He parted the crowd and walked into the room, where he saw a corpse.
"Really...... He actually shot him in the chest with a handcuff, and if he had anything in his arms, it would have been shattered......"
It was Magellan, as the strange explorer had said, his chest was riddled with holes, revealing shocking wounds on his body, muscles turned out, and flesh blurred.
"Professor Magellan......"
The Count spoke quietly, but all the explorers in the room heard it, and they paused slightly in embarrassment, but at last continued to rummage around.
The Count walked up to Magellan in silence and leaned down to look at his face.
Then the corpse blinked.
The Count straightened up silently, rushed to the cupboard, and then, with frantic motion, rummaged through all the places in the room where he could hide something.
"They took ......"
This desperate and feeble self-muttering drew a cheer, and the explorers were like waves at low tide, and soon the room was left with only the Count and the corpse.
"Sorry, that's the only way. Magellan said as he stood up and closed the door. "You leave now with everyone at once, go to the captain, and I'll go to the docks to find you. ”
"Remember, don't tell anyone I'm alive. ”
"I don't like it very much," said the Count, as if trying to maintain a calm expression on his face, but he failed, "why hide it, it's no different from deception......
"I believe you have self-control, but not necessarily a sailor. Magellan took off his shirt and wiped the flesh on his upper body carelessly, "Only in this way can they survive, it's up to you." ”
"How long are we going to wait?"
"It won't be long, rest assured. ”
The Count nodded and left.
......
Magellan stood by the bed and watched his men follow the Count away, then turned around.
This is the room of an explorer who calls himself the "King of Heroes", and his body is now under the bed.
Magellan got dressed and walked out of the hotel following the crowd of explorers.
"Those people are on the east side of the bazaar, go quickly. ”
"Watch out for that barracks, we can't deal with the army. ”
"Hyenas' noses are smarter than anything else, they must have gotten their treasure!"
"Hurry up!"
"...... when you get out"
The flow of people is getting more and more chaotic, and the explorers are getting more and more excited, and they are eager to try, if it is not for the military camp next to it, this place has become a Shura field.
Along the way, there were hawkers who were kicked over, and some stood up and followed the crowd.
When the explorers finally left the bazaar, they stopped.
