"The guy in the back, take off your hood!"

The soldier shouted, and he was obviously referring to Sylvie hiding behind Hodge, after all, she was the only one wearing a cloak among the four, so she was naturally more conspicuous.

"I don't think that's necessary. Hodge stepped forward and stood in the way of the soldiers.

The soldier directly rested the long knife on his neck and said in a cold voice, "You are indeed the accomplices of the Slave King. ”

"Slave King, I don't know that guy well. ”

Hodge shook his head and took out an intricately carved wooden plaque from his pocket, "But I'm familiar with another person, let's take a look at this plaque." ”

The soldiers took the wooden plaque from his hand full of doubts, looked at the rattlesnake totem entrenched on the front, and then turned it over and saw the small characters engraved on the back, their expressions immediately changed, and they put the knives in their hands into the sheath, their bodies straightened, and they said in unison: "Lord Sir!"

Hodge didn't mean that the result.

The wooden plaque was one of Dunbar's gifts to him when he left, and according to her, the wooden plaque from the Claire family was enough to prove his identity.

In the territory under the jurisdiction of the Raymond family, the coat of arms of the Claire family has the same effect as the coat of arms of the Raymond family, and even if they leave their jurisdiction and travel to other cities in the north, the Marquis of Raymond will at least maintain a basic respect for the owner of the wooden plaque.

Their identity is too sensitive, and having this sign will be less troublesome.

"I'm not a knight. ”

Hodge carried his hands behind his back, rubbing his fingers slightly, feeling the subtle oiliness on the surface of his skin, and immediately corrected the soldier's words: "Now we can leave, right?"

"Of course. ”

"Do you still need our cooperation with the inspection?"

The soldier wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and bowed down to flattery, "Naturally you don't need to, sir, see if you need us to inform the mayor of your arrival." ”

"No need. Hodge declined the offer, "We'll be out of town soon." ”

He turned, ready to leave the place.

But I don't want the sound of bells shaking in the air.

Silvie's face suddenly became ugly as she had just taken a step.

Hodge coughed lowly, ready to turn his head and explain to the soldier, with the Claire family's distinguished status, he could have said that Sylvie belonged to his slave, after all, the two minions did not have the courage to search or ask him to show the slave ownership certificate.

But the moment he turned his head, he saw the soldier leaping high and raising his bright blade.

Cha!

The soldier leapt from the sky and swung his blade downwards with the force of the fall, cutting directly into the ground and creating a deep scarf.

Hodge narrowly dodged the blow, his eyes turned cold, and he quickly rushed forward and attacked the soldier's abdomen.

He didn't understand why the two soldiers would react like this when they heard Sylvie's bell, even if they knew that Sylvie was not his slave, they wouldn't draw their swords without saying a word, right?

The moment he misturned, he saw the soldier's face clearly.

No longer as I had just seen, the soldier's eyes were completely black at this time, as if the pupil was dilated to the entire eyeball, not making room for the whites of the eyes at all.

Hodge felt a shock in his heart, but there was too little time left for him to think, and the moment the fist hit the soldier in the abdomen, instinct caused him to react, and the surging microwave penetrated directly into his body.

But nothing happened, he didn't hear the liquid boiling, he didn't see the soldier's blood vessels bursting, and he didn't scratch his ears and cheeks in pain.

As if there was nothing, the soldier lifted his scimitar, his lips cracked, and without hesitation, slashed at his back.

How is this possible!

Hodge roared inwardly, for the first time in a battle with a living being, his microwave abilities had failed.

Isn't there even a shred of water in this man's body?

The blade came quickly, and he must not have had time to get out of the range of the blade because of his distraction.

Gritting his teeth, he used a new ability that he hadn't mastered yet.

A strong light appeared in front of the soldier's eyes out of thin air, and even though his eyeballs were covered by black pupils, it seemed that he still had vision, and he subconsciously closed his eyes under the illumination of the strong light.

Hodge took advantage of the situation to get out.

As soon as he left the soldier's side, the blazing flames descended on the soldier, and the figure in the firelight did not seem to feel the pain, but still walked towards Hodge step by step with the blade, and when he reached the third step, there was a sudden crackling sound in the flames, and the soldier fell.

Hodge looked to the other side, and Daphne had Hera and Sylvie behind her, the soldier who had attacked them had long since been reduced to charcoal.

He knew that there was no way to save his hand in this kind of emergency, and he could only hope that this scene would not be bumped into by others.

"Let's go!"

They must get out of here immediately, or the trouble will be endless.

Sylvie kept her mouth wide open all the way, looking puzzled as to why Devany, who had the impression of being a gentle big sister, would leap into flames with a wave of her hand.

Da-da-da-da.

Hodge's face was gloomy, and the sound of footsteps behind him indicated that the bodies of the two soldiers had been exposed, and that the soldiers of the city were already chasing them in the direction they had fled.

They walked around the street corner, but unexpectedly came to a dead end, and the alleyway was completely sealed off by a stone wall high by two people.

The footsteps behind him grew closer.

Click.

The manhole cover under his feet was suddenly jacked up, and a boy with a dirty face beckoned to Hodge, "Come down." ”

Hodge and Devany looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

It's not like I haven't gotten into the sewers anyway.

........................

"Who are you?"

The sewers were much cleaner than he had imagined, at least not just black stains, and it seemed that Stormport was much better than Stone Fort in terms of sewage treatment.

The boy didn't have any torches, but by the faint light of the grate, they could follow him.

The passage was empty and quiet, with no sound other than their footsteps and echoes.

After walking for a while, Hodge couldn't help but ask the boy his doubts.

"Me?"

The boy turned around and pointed to his big nose, "My name is Godrian, and I'm here to pick you up to meet Lord Sagisan." ”

"Sagisan?"

Hodge quickly reacted, "You mean the Slave King?"

Mistress Sagisan didn't like it, and he said it was a disdainful name given to him by the people at the town hall. ”

"How do you know we're going to be stuck in that corner. ”

Hodge's brow furrowed: "Have you been following us, have you...... You saw that scene before, too?"

"What do you see?" said Godrian, puzzled, "I have been waiting around there, and it was Lord Sagisan who told me to pick up four men there, and said that there were three women and one man, and I knew nothing else." ”

"How did Sagisan know we were going to pass there? ”

"Then you'll have to ask Lord Sagisan to do it. ”

Godrian shook his head happily, "But it's not surprising for me to say this, after all, it's Lord Sagisan. ”

"He is a man who is favored by the gods. ”
