Chapter 284: Interception
The journey through the forest is much easier with the company of the children of the World Tree, Vidlow can always find the direction and the most convenient distance through the guidance of small animals and trees, and as long as she disappears for a short while, the next moment when she appears in Lynch's field of vision, Vidlow's arms will always be full of colorful fruits, and these fruits are always sweet and delicious.
After another alternation of day and night, Lynch and Lori finally walked out of the forest.
During this period, Lynch never found any signs of the pursuers coming, and the day passed quite peacefully, but after communicating with Vidlow, Lynch still felt that the other party would not give up and continue to attack Vidlow.
There are too many people in the upper echelons of the Sunchasers who want to return to the level of the Councillor, and most of them are very eager for Vidlow's former power precisely because they have reached that level after a certain "new life". Parliamentarian-level strength can very well slow down the amnesia caused by the constant replacement of bodies, as well as personality and even soul changes, which is what everyone desires.
The Sunwalkers also knew in their hearts that every change in personality was death for them. And then the living person was just a new guy who had inherited a part of his memory.
For example, the current Vidlow, her changes are very obvious, from being able to communicate with Lynch at the beginning to the loss of children's temper and related memories later, until now she finally gave herself a new name.
Therefore, they longed for the power left by Perlicius during his lifetime, and for the Sunstriders, this exclusive way of inheriting power would not be afraid of other mages watching over. Now that they have torn their faces with Vidlow, then they will not have a reason to let Vidlo go.
If Vidlow finally regains her power, they will be the ones who will be unlucky.
Separated by a relatively slender wasteland between the forest and the swamp, separating the other two distinct terrains, there is also a small town that belongs to mages, and many poor mages will bring their prey from the forests and swamps to trade, although there are some ordinary people, but there are not many of them.
The houses in the town are simple, most of them look like they are made of wood, and few people choose to live here, so it's normal to be simple.
Lynch didn't want to be troubled, the children of the World Tree allowed them to survive in the wild almost infinitely, because they were not short of food, and clothing was not a problem, so he dragged Vidlowe and let little Lori cry on his shoulder, and did not agree to her suggestion to "go to the town for a change of taste and relax".
Then he was intercepted by several men on the edge of the wilderness, not far from the town.
"Don't be nervous," the man with the eyes in the lead looked at Lynch, who had a long sword in his hand, although there was no smile on his face, but it was not stiff: "I'm not a person of the Sunchaser, Lord Pericius, you should be able to tell that you have seen me before." ”
Vidlow didn't respond, she chose to turn a blind eye to the name Perlicus, and she had no memory of seeing the man.
The man in glasses understood it as anger and silent resistance after being intercepted by them, although he was very curious about how Perrisius could become the little loli in front of him, he still chose to believe his lord's orders: "Lord Locke, Lord of Starkland, wants the two of you to have a good time, and he is waiting for the two of them in this town right now." ”
Lynch raised his eyebrows, lords are usually directly appointed by councilors, which means that it is a councilor who is staring at the two of them now.
He turned his head to look at Lori on his back, but Vidlow didn't mean anything.
"What is he looking for us for?" Lynch asked directly, "We don't seem to have anything to do with that councilor." ”
The land under your feet now belongs to Locke. And not long ago, we were hostile to the Sunseekers in the adjacent territory because of factional struggles, and a lot of people died, so why didn't they cross paths. The eyed man thought in his heart, but the expression on his face still didn't change: "Please don't get me wrong, we don't have any malicious intentions, Lord Locke is still waiting for us." ”
It's a hard tone. Lynch looked at the five people around him, their aura was basically the same as Lynch's, so Lynch would not clash with these people when he was still carrying a drag on his back.
He looked at the little Lori on his back, the other party's face was cloudy, and the child's heart was not very reliable, but he still planned to symbolically ask for her opinion.
Vidlow didn't respond.
"Alright," Lynch said to the eyed man, "you lead the way." ”
The eyed man nodded, finally squeezed out a smile on his face, and then said to Lynch, "Please follow me." ”
The small town is not short of people, and the hustle and bustle is largely due to demand, and at certain times, even animals that are forbidden to be hunted by the council can be found here.
The man with the eyes took Lynch and the two all the way into the largest house in the center of the town, although it was also made of wood, but it looked a lot more neat.
This is a restaurant.
Now the hotel is empty, obviously chartered.
Eyes led Lynch up to the second floor, and then stopped at the staircase: "Go inside to the first room." ”
Lynch nodded, he felt a little like he was going to meet the boss of the underworld.
In order to maintain her majesty, Vidlow finally gave up and continued to stay on Lynch's back, but still followed Lynch all the way.
Lynch followed the road to the room and pushed the door open.
The room didn't want to be what Lynch thought, a guy dressed as a triad boss sat in the center of the house, and then had a cigarette in his mouth, and there was only one light in the whole room, and the atmosphere was gloomy and depressing.
In fact, the dining table was filled with all kinds of food, and the moment Lynch pushed the door, the aroma of the whole room came to his nose, and around the dining table sat three people, separated by a chair, and no one started to eat.
"You're here. The middle-aged man sitting in the center said, "Then everyone will be together." ”
Lynch's instincts told him that the middle-aged man was the most dangerous of the three, while the other two were older, their sitting postures were relatively formal, and their hair was the color that Lynch was more familiar with, green.
Vidlow stared at one of the old men who had stopped in the doorway, and the old man was staring directly at her.
"Hehe," the middle-aged man laughed lightly, breaking the silence: "It's better for everyone to sit on a chair and talk about things than to fight and kill, which is exactly what I want to see." ”
Lynch probably knew what was going on, and the two old guys sitting next to the middle-aged Locke were probably the two remaining elders of the Sunseeker family.
"Perrisius," said the old man, who was staring at Vidlow, "sit down and talk, if you are going to recognize me as a father." ”
