Chapter 402: Girlfriend and Ex-Girlfriend
"You...... Aren't you a civilian in the imperial capital?"
In the alley, several people dressed in black asked sharply, and the hands holding the bowstring trembled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIn order to ensure that the attack was foolproof, Captain Ziegler sent an assassination team of more than a dozen people, all of whom were veterans of the Hundred Years' War, and their understanding with each other had reached the point of perfection.
However, almost in a single moment, most of these elites were wiped out. What made them even more frightening was that they had no idea what was going on at that moment.
Helena pretended to be curious and asked, "Aren't you also the Kingdom Army?"
She tapped her index finger, and the alley suddenly changed drastically, and the protruding stone wall blocked all the retreats of several people, and the small space suddenly turned into a prison, trapping them to death.
Columns...... Array!" Several people immediately realized that the woman in front of them might not let them go easily. The remaining four men fired a salvo of their bows, and a volley of poisoned arrows sped towards Helena in an instant—Captain Ziegler told them that the poison on the arrows would be bad luck even if they were stained with them, and that it was their only remaining hope.
"I thought he was such an amazing assassin. "This level of combat almost makes Helena yawn, and these arrows are not even an appetizer compared to the battles that once made the mountains crumble. The contempt in Helena's eyes made several people even more resentful, they had never been so underestimated when they were on the battlefield.
The four of them only took a few steps to different places, and the stacked stone thorns stabbed them to the core, and the kingdom army led by him lowered his head in disbelief and stared at the several stone thorns that pierced him, and he happened to see Helena walking slowly towards him, and her hand was lightly thrown aside, throwing a few sharp arrows aside like garbage.
"Let's skip the interrogation. Helena's voice sounded to him like a demon's call, and she raised her hand and pressed it to the man's forehead.
The next moment, the man howled miserably. He had suffered countless wounds on the battlefield, but none of the pain could compare to what he had experienced at the moment, and it was as if someone was trying to pull his consciousness out of his body alive. He wanted to pass out, but the intense pain made his spirits more and more excited, and his unconsciously wide eyes stared at Helena, and the slightly serious expression of the other party gave him a strange illusion.
This woman is reading his memories!
And the other party seemed to realize her gaze, she tilted her head, and said in an innocent tone: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
At the end of her memory, she saw Ziegler conspiring with several of them. But before that, most of this man's memories were spent on the battlefield, he participated in the Gulf War and other famous meat grinder battles, and miraculously survived.
He was a pure soldier who had always resolutely carried out the captain's orders, whether the reputation itself was righteous or not.
Helena removed her palm, and the man collapsed in front of her like an empty shell, his eyes staring blankly ahead, his breathing getting weaker and weaker.
"The church has invented so many handy tricks. Helena suddenly raised her voice and sighed to herself.
"This technique is not used against the Kingdom Army. ”
The cross-shaped silver greatsword swung out of thin air, and the closed alley was instantly slashed and a gap was torn open. The man dressed as a traveler leaned in, and the golden sword and shield pendant on his chest indicated his identity. After seeing the corpses on the ground, he frowned unconsciously: "I thought you didn't like to slaughter their soldiers in other kingdoms." ”
"I didn't think you would tear your face with the church because of a woman. Helena smiled brightly, but her words were full of-for-tat. Her averted gaze did a good job of hiding the fleeting fire of jealousy. Her words made the man scratch his head in embarrassment: "It's rare to meet an old friend, so don't go through old accounts." ”
Helena laughed even more happily, but Maran Florine knew that this meant that the beautiful woman in front of her was angry: "I'm just reminding some 'old friend'." He ran away on his own, and left all the mess to me—do you know how much effort I had to make the church and the Senate not treat your actions as treason?"
The first knight of the church, Maranfuin, shielded the sinners who destroyed the Second Kingdom and was suspected of treason, which is probably the biggest scandal since the establishment of the Herutian Alliance.
"Thank you so much, Helena. ”
Maran Feryn's heartfelt thanks made Helena even more annoyed. However, she has long learned how to control her emotions, and no matter how much unhappiness and unwillingness she has in her heart, it is hidden in her smile: "I heard that you have been here for a while, shouldn't you have been doing nothing all the time?"
"Not really—though I admit that the seafood in the Kingdom of Tarun is a no-brainer. Maranferin sneered, "But I've already figured out what the Sith wants to do." ”
"Oh?"
"Man-made magic tides. Well, that sounds like a pretty novel technique, but I don't know the exact steps of the ritual yet, but it's certain that he'll need to get the Phoenix ...... to get there."
......
Maran Funne suddenly felt a little awkward as she spoke, and Helena stared at him with an idiot look.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Phoenix. Maran Fern could never remember the names of matters he was not interested in, a shortcoming that Helena had known hundreds of years ago. At that time, the relationship between the church and the senate was not yet at the point where it was incompatible, and everyone knew that when Maran Frien called you by the wrong name, it meant that he had no interest in you.
"Oh, I see. Maran Funne suddenly realized: "No wonder I was kicked out by them when I went to the Divine Bird Sect to inquire about Phoenixerada!"
"And have you found out where Phoenix is now?"
"I don't know. Maran Funne shook his head, "But what is certain is that it is at least not anywhere outside the inner city. So either it had fled the kingdom of Talen, or it was hiding somewhere in the inner city - only to be turned away by the guards every time it tried to get to the inner city. ”
......
For some reason, Helena felt that she hadn't seen her for a hundred years, and Maranfer was getting more and more upright. The guards wouldn't let him in, and he really didn't go in. Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that Maran Florin himself has little interest in finding Phoenix. He came here for one purpose - to stop the Sith.
"Having said that, it's been really strange lately, and I've been meeting old friends one after another...... Helena, I've met Savella in the Imperial Capital, and she's completely out of the state of the demons!"
"Maran Fern. ”
Helena's voice suddenly became flat as water: "What an idiot you are. ”
Without waiting for the other party to react, he left in the other direction.
