Chapter 137: Secrets
It's night.
The waning moon hung in the sky, and the town of Oak at night seemed silent and deserted.
The goose-feathered snow fell and fell in a scattered manner.
Nalan Xingtian stood outside Oak Town, feeling the wind and snow in the sky.
Returning to Oak after Dylan's auction, he gave Vic the gold he had won from his previous bet and planned to return to the cabin.
Whether it was the favor he gave to Vic, or the fact that he bought the twin brother with a lot of money, it was just an idea that he had a simple outline.
He just wanted to build his own channel in Oaktown, and all of that needed more people.
Nalan Xingtian followed the familiar path and traveled all the way.
The path in the forest is not wide, and the ground is covered with snow, which has only been accumulated for a day or two, and the accumulation is not deep, and it rustles when you step on it.
After walking for a while, there was a faint sound of talking not far away, but it was too far away to hear it very clearly.
It's so late, why are there still people?
Nalan Xingtian had doubts in his heart, you must know that in this world without a lighting system at night, the sky is completely dark, except for the moonlight that can provide a little bit of brilliance, it is difficult to see the road in the distance, so there is almost no one wandering in this wild in the night.
He couldn't hold back his curiosity and followed the direction of the sound.
He walked very lightly, afraid of making unnecessary noises.
The voice slowly got closer, and it sounded a little familiar.
Nalan Xingtian walked over slowly.
Ahead was an open space, the only way back, and there were three figures at the moment, and from where the conversation was heard.
Nalan Xingtian slowly approached, and he hid his figure behind the trees.
The voices of the people in the open space also came over, and they could be heard clearly.
"What's the important thing that Uncle has been following me all the time so late?" said a clear and pleasant young female voice.
"It's not why, it's just that I met my niece in this foreign place, saw a familiar relative, and wanted to chat and get close. A deep male voice said.
Hearing these two voices, Nalan Xingtian reacted instantly.
The two voices were familiar, one was the girl he traded with, and the other was the uncle of the girl who left the auction in anger after losing the competition, but the two of them were so at odds with each other that they met here again after leaving the auction house.
"But it's late at night, and it's a cold winter night, and if there's nothing too important, I'd like to go back to Oak with Brian to rest. The girl said.
"Don't worry, dear niece, I just have a few questions for you. The man continued.
"What a question, uncle, just ask. The girl said.
"Why are you here?" the man asked.
"I just traveled around, and then I heard about the auction in Oak Town before, and I came to see it at random, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. The girl said.
The unexpected gain that the girl said was the fourth-level crystal nucleus of the fire system, but this incident did make the man's heart headache, which made him look stunned.
"It's a strange thing, a noble lady who has enjoyed a privileged life since she was a child, but now appears in a barren border town, which really makes people feel that there is not such a simple reason. The man looked at the girl, "Can you really rest assured of your father?"
"With Brian with me, my father is naturally relieved. The girl affirmed.
"By the way, I've forgotten about him, Brian, I haven't seen him in years, but he's fine. The man said.
Brian looked at the man with a hint of vigilance and defensiveness in his expression, "Mr. Jonas, Brian salutes you. ”
"Brian, don't be nervous, I just haven't seen you in a long time and want to talk to you. Jonas chuckled.
He said to the girl again, "I heard that your father has been in trouble lately, so you have come here to ask for help, and I don't think he has anything else to solve." ”
"Uncle Jonas, what exactly do you want to say. The maiden also heard the unkindness in Jonas's words.
"I just want to say, this is retribution, your father deserves it, hahahaha......" Jonas suddenly laughed.
"Uncle Jonas, I respect you as an elder, and I will not allow you to speak of my father like that. The girl said.
"Respect me, didn't I fear your father and my brother the same way?" said Jonas.
"But I respected him so much, and supported him so much, that in the end he drove me out mercilessly, depriving me of my rights, stripping me of my wealth, stripping me of my title, and depriving me of my fiefdom. Jonnas's expression became more and more agitated, "He stripped me of everything and drove me out, do you know how I felt?"
"That's what you did wrong, how much pressure the master has put on you to protect you, if it weren't for the master, you would have been torn to pieces by the angry disciples, Mr. Jones, you know best what you have done yourself. Brian responded.
"What have I done? Haven't I done everything for my venerable brother? I am willing to be his subordinate, willing to do what he wants to do but does not dare to do, I bear the reproach for him, I do all the filthy things for him, but in the end they deprive me of everything. Jonas said, looking at Brian and the girl, "He enjoys the favor and the glory, and I am like a rat in the street, and everyone shouts and beats, why?"
"Father is not what you say. The girl argued.
"Jonnas, those things back then really weren't clear in a few words, and I Brian can't make up my mind who was right and who was wrong, but you've been following us tonight, what the hell are you trying to do?" Brian snapped.
"This is a world of the strong, right and wrong don't matter anymore, all the complaints end here. Jonas laughed, "But the slump and decline of the Cat Pie is the work of my stupid brother, and the glory of the former demon hunters is also lost in their hands." ”
Demon Hunter Cat Pie?
Nalan Xingtian, who was hiding behind the big tree, couldn't help but jump his eyelids when he heard these two keywords, he remembered that Timos had said that demon hunters were divided into four major factions, the wolf faction, the snake faction, the bear faction, and the cat faction.
And the three people in front of them estimated that according to their conversations, they should belong to the cat faction.
Nalan Xingtian calmed down and listened.
"The split and decline of the demon hunters is not entirely due to the master, the cat faction still exists, at least because of the persistence of the master, but it is much better than the wolf faction that has long since collapsed. Brian said.
"It's not interesting to say this, you are all people who don't know the truth. Jonas waved his hand, "I know you're here to find Timos, the leader of the wolf faction, and I heard it's in Oak Town, but no one knows where he is?"
"You're following me, investigating me?" the girl's voice was a little angry.
"My dear niece, I also know that my brother has entrusted you with such an important item. Jonas said.
The girl was panicked in her heart, she was even a little speechless, she didn't know who revealed the news, this was the secret of her heart.
