Nabal's steps grew smaller and smaller, and it seemed that the cowardice of his heart made him scruples, and it took him several minutes to pass through the small street, and came to a three-story restaurant around the corner, and Lemuel looked up at the sign hanging high, which was still swaying by the window on the second floor, as it had been when he had left a year ago, with a glass of fish engraved on one side and a black rose on the other.

The moment he pushed the door to enter the restaurant, Lemuel also felt a little uneasy, as if it was due to the lack of space, the first floor that had been used as a lobby a year ago had been converted into a storage room. I had no choice but to go to the second floor through the stairs next to the wall, which was much more prosperous, with more than a dozen sets of tables and chairs in the spacious space, and more than 20 customers. The old woman who opened the shop is over 60 years old, but she can still attract countless customers with her outstanding cooking skills and unique brewing techniques.

However, it is not easy to build a sizable restaurant in troubled times, and this old woman named Black Rose is not an ordinary person, as a rather clever underground intelligence dealer, her real name is no longer traceable, but her interpersonal relationships are very strong, Suke, who once provided a stronghold for the Wings of Freedom, is her son, the old man was also a resident of Zenda when he was young, and seems to have taken special care of the three members of the original Wings of Freedom.

"Gus Hak, thank goodness you're coming back safely. ”

As soon as Black Rose noticed Nabal's appearance on the second floor, she immediately poured the wine at the bar and asked Suke, who was in the store, to deliver it to the two.

Since the fall of Chanda, Suke has nowhere to go, and accidentally bumps into the old mother who has come out of the mountain again in Sagoth, and then convinces Black Rose to move the restaurant to "Liberty Town", and it is because of Suke's introduction that Shoey was able to use this place as the base camp of Wings of Freedom.

Now, his melancholy eyes were full of nostalgia, and he took advantage of the opportunity to send a drink to talk to Nabal about a few homely things, and then motioned for them to go to the guest room on the third floor, saying that the others had already discussed their future plans, and the sooner they went, the better.

"Hey, you two, come up!"

A familiar voice came from the top of the staircase, and a thin man with a shawl and a beard was standing upstairs waving to them, his chain mail was rusty, and his bracers and leggings were very loose, and the two recognized him at a glance, the soul member of the Wings of Freedom, the steppe warrior Tristan Polcha.

"Take it easy, stupid horse thief, what's the hurry, look at your embarrassed appearance, you're late anyway. ”

Nabal was right this time, Porcha was indeed the scruffiest of the group, and during the months they spent together, he almost never combed his hair, neglected his beard that could have been trimmed, and never had stains and blood stains on his clothes. However, the eagle eye under his sword eyebrows had never lost its sharpness, and the long knife in the sheath had already been filled with killing intent after more than two years of bloody trials. It's normal for a ruthless warrior like this to take killing as his art to life and not care about his appearance.

"What's the matter, old seal. The head of the regiment is very angry, and it is better not to play tricks again. ”

Hearing this, Nabal no longer had any intention of joking with his old rival, and rushed up the stairs in three steps and two steps, and Lemuel said hello to Porcha, and entered a room on the third floor together.

As soon as they stepped into the threshold, Polcha closed the door, and as they walked forward, they found a pair of large-caliber silver pistols sitting by the candlestick of the square table in the center of the room, reflecting a blinding flash in the light of the fire, and looking very heavy, like the silver falcon twin guns that Shoy had once used.

"Don't look around, who told you not to look at the road, I've always been by the door!"

You can't be wrong, this is Shaw's voice, although it is much more mature than the last time I heard it, but the confidence contained in it has never wavered. Nabal's heart was up and down, and he was so nervous that he could barely breathe, and when he turned around, he realized that it was a smiling blonde girl standing in front of him.

The girl in front of her is slender and shows perfect curves, standing side by side with Polcha except for being slightly thin, there is almost no height difference, the red and white jacket and tights on her body are completely custom-made according to the old mold, but a red scarf is wrapped around her shoulders, and the village rain long knife obtained from the trip to Gronia hangs behind her.

"Commander!? It's already so 'big'......"

"Fly head, where are you looking!

Just because Nabal stared at her chest for a while, the joyful expression on Shaw's face immediately disappeared, and with a twist of his waist, he used a high-level decapitation kick to greet his old friend, but fortunately, Nabal was not slow to react, raised his hand to block the kick, and was still shocked back a step or two before standing firm.

Polcha and I immediately jumped out to play the round, but Xiao Yi didn't think so, in order to let Nabal accept the change of the regiment leader, Polcha didn't care about face, directly leaned into Nabal's ear, and whispered: "Hey...... Old seal, it's not just you drooling at the captain, it's almost impossible to find another cute girl like her, not to mention that she's only eighteen years old......"

Remuel could hear this, and Xiao Yi was no exception, she pouted and scratched her hair, obviously trying to restrain her temper, but she still couldn't hold back after all, yelled at the two, and walked to the table and picked up the large-caliber pistol.

"Hey...... Brother Cha, what are you talking to the Fly Boss!Sister Sia has strengthened the parts of the Silver Falcon for me, and now even if it is an Isaac-level target, it can be taken down with one shot, do you two want to be the target first!?"

Two years ago, she had shot Isaac in the chest with a pistol, but Isaac survived and captured Zenda, much to her guilt. Lemuel only later learned that Syruvia had taken her gun back, reassembled it, and designed a reinforced frame to give it the lethality of a hand cannon, firing steel bullets that could pierce through even the strongest armor and even shatter rock.

"Commander...... I know I don't have much to say, but why don't I see the deputy head of the regiment, shouldn't he have arrived a long time ago?" Sieg didn't appear for a long time, and Lemuel couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked Shaw.

Xiao Yi waved away the anger on his face, put away his two guns and put on a dissatisfied expression, and said to the others, "Sig has something to delay, it seems that not only we are busy, but also the Holy Cult and the Druas are not idle. ”

Porcha immediately explained: "The regimental commander got the news from Joshim that you have sent back from the North Sea. But we're still investigating the murder in the city, and the Holy Church seems to be in trouble, and as the executor, Sig must help the group deal with the emergency. ”

"Nabal...... Didn't you say you could help the head of the regiment with this...... Why don't you speak?"

Lemuel asked sarcastically, Nabal immediately glared at him, Xiao Yi didn't care about this, just explained the time of the crime and the investigation that had been done in the past time, and had already made a summary himself, saying: "There is no way to solve this case for the time being, because Grandi has almost no friends, and he also wears a mask when presiding over the festival, and no one knows the body in the morgue, in order to solve the case, he can only wait for Brother Josim to find more evidence." ”

Later, Shoey inquired about Porcha's gains as a mercenary in Kugit, and he took out the codex from under the chain mail, which stated that he had been commissioned to go to the Kugit steppe on April 15, 1259, and on April 24, he rescued Nayan Akadan from the Dark Army and followed his troops, and only arrived in Turga on May 11 to meet his employer, Saiga Khan, and for more than a year, Porcha served as the Khan's guard, and followed the Khan around to exterminate the Dark Knights, until a month ago, he applied for retirement and ended the contract, and the four thousand dinars he brought back were temporarily deposited in the team's savings。

When Shoey asked about the movements of the Drua navy, Nabal became nervous again and replied with a stammering mouth...... It looks like they're trying to invade Gronia, me and ...... Consulted with our colleagues in the Pirate Guild, who were responsible for slowing down the Druas so that they could be informed that they could prepare in advance, and that we could send our rescue troops to Gronia to help. ”

"Hey...... You really know the head of this regiment!I just like to be nosy with this kind of thing, and when Sig comes back, we will recruit troops and go to Gronia~"

Shaw made an immediate decision, and just as everyone was losing topic, the door was pushed open, and a wounded figure stumbled into the room and threw himself on the table.

The person immediately raised his head, looked at Xiao Yi's eyes, and gasped, "Hey...... I'm back!"

"Isn't this head called 'Hi', okay!? Call me Captain Augst! By the way, what's wrong with you, Xige, I saw you last month, and I ...... good."

Xiao Yi responded to his greeting, and they found that this handsome young man with red messy hair, a sharp knife around his waist, and a long cloth coat was the deputy head of the regiment who had not been seen for a long time, Xige, at this time he had a part of the abrasions on his face, his left arm with a fire tattoo was wrapped in bandages, and his shoulder was also pierced by a sharp weapon, looking like he had just been defeated.

Sieg barely straightened up, but after a while he crouched down with his chest clutched, and the expression on his face was very uncomfortable, and Shoy quickly helped him to the wall and examined his injuries.

"Your ribs are broken, no wonder you're late, what the hell happened to the Holy Sect?"

Xiao Yi didn't talk nonsense, and asked bluntly, and Sieg's eyes showed strong unwillingness and anger, and he was also going to tell about what happened to him recently.

"The Cult was attacked, and Delacro's new minions took advantage of Rolf and Trevor's outings to infiltrate the Cult and attack the library where the ancient texts were kept. Melva and I led the remaining Templars to resist desperately until they retreated. ”

"What's the situation...... The fateful plan is long over, why would Delacro still attack the Holy Cult? By the way, when did this happen, and who were Delacro's men?

The questions slammed on Sieg's head one after another, and he thought about it for a long time before he cleared up his thoughts and replied: "The purpose of the Destiny Plan is to stigmata Delacro did get what he wanted, and now he has his eyes on some ancient documents of the Holy Sect. About two weeks ago, a group of warriors who manipulated the dark forces appeared in the Holy Mountain through a teleportation array under his leadership, ransacked the library, and took three ancient books......"

"Two weeks ago...... It happened to be the day Grandi was killed, so what books were lost, does it matter?"

After comparing the time, Xiao Yi had doubts in his heart, and Sieg also noticed this, and asked rhetorically: "Commander, do you suspect that the incident of Sagos was also committed by Delacro? In addition, the three ancient books he stole were 'Heaven and Hades beyond the earth', 'Belief disputes between ancient gods and heretics', and 'The origin of the names of the continents', but even the Pope did not know the contents of these books, they were all prehistoric relics written in ancient characters. ”

"It's just a feeling in my heart, because the timing of these two events is so coincidental......

"Although there is no evidence, it may be that Victor's Black Seal Knights are doing evil again......" Polcha also interjected, and it sounded like Shoy had already shared the information in advance.

Since the previous time was spent on a discussion that had nothing to do with the overall situation, Sieg ignored the eyes of others and directly shook Xiao Yi's hand, which made her feel very embarrassed, and her previously very serious face immediately turned red.

"Commander, hurry up! I desperately need your help to keep up with Delacro!"

"This ...... Our plan has been decided, we must go to Gronia first, and then we can intervene in the affairs of the Holy Religion after we return, would you like to come along?"

Sieg put down his face and prayed solemnly, but unfortunately Xiao Yi still did not plan to change his plan, and in the face of the invitation of the head of the regiment, Sieg was not easy to refuse, so he had to agree to go to Grogna together, temporarily giving up the plan to hunt down Delacro.

Today, the tedious work is carried out during the day, and the evening is naturally a pastime, and everyone in the tavern is no exception, and with the joy of reuniting old friends, Black Rose provides them with sumptuous dishes to set up the banquet, and Nabal pulls Porcha to drink, and the two captains forget the burden on their shoulders for a while and join the revelry, and their performance also impresses Lemuel and Old White, and they involuntarily drink with their glasses.

Time flew by, Lemuel's hands began to go numb, and the scene in front of him kept shaking, as if he was drunk. He quickly let go of the wine glass in his hand and leaned against the window to breathe in the fresh air, the black fog in the night sky receded a little under the influence of the monsoon, and the light of the full moon shone into the room through the window. At the table, Nabar and Porcha had almost drunk a large barrel of ale and had already collapsed on the table unconscious, but they were still muttering a few words of greeting each other. Old White was not greedy for a cup, only drank a certain amount of red wine, and sat in place to watch over the two drunks with concern. In addition, in order to allow Xige to get enough rest, Xiao Yi arranged for the deputy to rest in the next room, and he also quit the party early because of the poor amount of alcohol.

At this time, the bell tower in the city struck twelve o'clock, and the members of the Wings of Freedom were reunited after a long separation.

It's time to go and meet the commander!"

After a night of revelry in the stronghold, and seeing that it was already dawn, Lemuel shouted at the burly figure on the beach in the distance, asking him to return to the Goshawk as soon as possible.

Nabal turned his head unhappily, waved the bottle in his hand from afar, and gestured to the brethren around him, and the forty sailors rose from the sand one after another, ready to return to work on the sailboat.

As the Goshawk set sail, the pirates who stayed behind followed it in small boats, and when it sailed into the depths of the Death Channel, they sealed off the mouth of the waterway with a sturdy chain to prevent any outsiders from attacking the unsuspecting stronghold.

The congestion of the waterway was filled with a lingering fog that affected a large ship like the Goshawk until noon, returning to Wakami, the birthplace of the Goshawks, where Shawy and her crew had been waiting for a long time on the shallows off the west coast.

Tired of hearing the crisp sound of the hull crushing the wreckage, the sound of the waves rolling broke into the ears of the crew at this time, and the seabirds kept flying in the sky, and the black fog in the sky could not hide the midday sun, rendering the scene in front of the crew like a dark-toned painting, which could not help but be intoxicating.

"Something is not right......"

Nabal suddenly said this, and he dropped the rudder and ran to the mainmast, and quickly climbed the lookout with the help of a rope ladder to look into the distance, and Lemuel, who was still confused, quickly followed his movements, and also climbed up the lookout, and he threw the telescope in his hand to Lemuel, and quickly went down the rope to the deck, and gathered several sailors.

"Commander's camp!

When he spoke again, Lemuel noticed from the telescope that something was wrong in the shallows in the distance, the whole camp was a mess that had been destroyed by man, a coconut tree near the tent had been interrupted, and a few footprints that had sunk into the beach extended out of the camp and suddenly disappeared into the sand dozens of paces away.

The two lifeboats had been lowered to the surface along the sail lines, and Nabal had rowed a sampan toward the shore with a group of men, while the rest of the crew on deck were waiting for the first mate's order. Lemuel thought about it for a moment and immediately returned to the deck, preparing to sail the Goshawk to the shore to meet them.

"Brother Lemuel, there are reefs around here, and it's too dangerous to force a landing!"

This is from the mouth of the black-haired, green-eyed boatswain, since Samuel died in the Ingres Islands encounter, the Goshawks' old friend Dean Theros has joined the Goshawks as the ship's boatswain, he is an experienced pirate, who has been with Captain Huck in the North Sea for five years to rob ships and goods, and when Lemuel decides to dock in a reef-ridden area, he will not sit idly by.

But Lemuel ignored his old friend's dissuasion, turned the bow of the ship and raised the mainsail, allowing the Goshawk to drift to shore in the sea breeze. Their luck was indeed good, and after a slight brush against a few reefs, the ship came to rest near the shallows, and the sailors immediately dropped anchor into the water, and Lemuel came to the deck to look out at the beach.

In the telescope's view, Nabal's two dinghys were parked on the beach, but the sailors were also gone, leaving only a series of footprints pointing to land, and he felt that something was wrong, and called a few brothers to jump into the water and swim to the shore.

Sure enough, the wonders of the world can only be seen in person, and only when they encounter them in person, how ignorant they are to complain about the fragments of the old story, as soon as they step onto the dry sand under their feet, a cloud of mist rises all around them, and in the blink of an eye everything in their vision turns into a pale smoke screen, and even the close companions cannot detect it.

"What's going on!

Lemuel shouted this sentence at the top of his throat, but no sound reached his ears, and no one around him responded, and his mood was terrified to the extreme, and it dawned on him that it was not that no one had responded to his cry, but that there was something wrong with his senses, and that the people who had broken into the fog had suffered the same situation, and that some force had affected their sight and hearing.

After a long time, a familiar shadow finally appeared in front of them, and the sailors who were traveling with Lemuel were all looking at each other not far away, and the sizzling sound of the clash of swords was also heard in their ears at this time, proving that their hearing had also been restored.

The fog around him still existed, and as a first reaction, Lemuel thought that the anomaly could not be directly observed with the naked eye, so he pulled out his binoculars and scanned the surroundings through the telescope's field of view, discovering a secret battle going on.

As the sound of fierce battle in his ears explained, Shoey, Porcha, and Nabal stood side by side under a coconut tree with weapons in hand, and the crew members who were with Nabal fell unconscious behind them, while Sieg was engaged with his opponent not far away - a mysterious warrior wielding a great sword, in addition to being much taller than the average person, wearing terrifying armor with countless edges and corners, and carrying a lost weapon, the Devil Spirit, was the most puzzling point.

It is not difficult to see that Xiao Yi and Nabal have no possibility of fighting this opponent, only Sig can fight against the mysterious enemy with his strong personal strength, but in the face of the heavy sword attack, Sig is already at a disadvantage in the battle, and the blade of the Sirius Knife gradually bursts into purple sparks, and he has been forced to the point of using the Jedi counterattack.

The man didn't give Sig a chance to perform a killer move, and slashed down the knife in Sige's hand with a fluencing set of large swords, and then kicked him back in the chest. Worse happened at this time, when the mysterious warrior noticed the presence of Lemuel and the others, quickly turned and swung his great sword to swoop in, slashing across the beach like an arrow flying close to the ground, leaving a long trail of drag.

Although it was observed through the telescope, Lemuel reacted relatively quickly to this matter, drawing his waist knife at the last moment to put on a parry stance, but underestimating the lethality of the greatsword, it easily cut off Lemuel's sword, and in the blink of an eye, it was locked by a heavy palm around his neck, and thrown out like a burden.

Fortunately, the sand in this area was soft enough to counteract most of the impact, and Lemuel hit his head on the sand, rolled over some distance, and was grabbed by the shoulders and pulled up, it turned out to be Nabal, and before he knew it, Lemuel was also pulled into the "battlefield", and the enemy returned to their vicinity with a very unscientific speed.

"Lemuel, why are you here?"

"Damn! I want to ask, what are you messing with, so powerful!?"

Pressing his numb wrist, Lemuel asked Nabal about the mysterious warrior, but Nabal didn't know anything, and the two of them looked at Porcha together, and the expression on his face was embarrassed, and he flattened his palms and shook his head.

"I don't know, but it does give me a very familiar feeling...... What do you think, Captain?"

The sluggishness of the ever-astute Porcha at this point was really speechless, and Xiao Yi was long gone. A burst of gunfire was heard not far away, and the mysterious knight's armor immediately burst into bursts of sparks, and the silver falcon, which had strengthened its destructive power, was still unable to damage the opponent, and the steel bullets were bounced off by the mysterious force and scattered to the ground.

However, Sig took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent being beaten and retreated, and completed the accumulation of the trick, and stepped forward to perform a bite and slash, and the continuous impact of the bullets caused the mysterious warrior's attack on the Sirius Knife to be unavoidable, and the sharp blade entwined by the purple lightning instantly sank into his shoulder, cutting off a corner of the shoulder guard.
