Chapter 14: Special Teams
"There is no power of the abyss or hell in him, nor the breath of the dead...... So he's not the Dark One, and the Arcane Fluctuations are undetectable, and it seems that he's just a righteous professional who is hunting down dark creatures. ”
Just as the leader of the group of 'Burning Men' was about to make a move, the deputy next to him observed Gustav and came to a conclusion.
Gustav's dagger was in his hand, looking at Aaron's corpse, not knowing what to say.
"I'm a witcher. Gustav quickly added: "A commission is underway, and the target is the werewolf in front of him." ”
When you speak, you have to be half-truthful so that it can be convincing.
The huge werewolf corpse was in front of him, and Aaron's face still had a look of joy that he was about to escape from Gustav's pursuit, but now his life was ended by a long sword falling from the sky.
"Get out of here, it's going to be a sea of fire tonight. The leader nodded, agreeing with the deputy's opinion, and said to Gustav. "May the light of Arlette shine upon you, righteous adventurer. ”
Arlett's Radiance...... The other party is a member of the clergy of the Arlett Sect?
"You're killing the people of the Council of the Nightchildren," Gustav suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to 'dump the pot', and took the opportunity to throw out the topic: "I'm afraid the Council of the Nightchildren won't let you go easily." ”
The group of 'Burning Men' had dispersed, screaming everywhere they passed, and they showed no mercy to the people in Squirrel Alley.
"Light and fire purify everything, and under the power of the true God, all things will be peaceful and beautiful, even the Night Mother is no exception. If you say this in fear of the Nightmother's power, you can claim that Arlett's Blazing Templar did it all. "The leader didn't seem to care about Gustav's words, and in his hands, an incandescent flame was condensing.
Gustav looked at the other and sensibly chose to remain silent.
After a moment, Gustav couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
The leader took his sword back, he was so used to killing that even the blood on the sword was just rubbed casually on Aaron's body.
"The Nation of Arlett, the Blazing Templars, generally refer to us as 'Blazing Blood Assassins' in your Arcane Second Republic. ”
Speaking of the Arcane Second Republic, the leader of the Blazing Templars spoke in a stiff tone, faintly audible hostility.
Gustav nodded in understanding. Because of the existence of the inferior forbidden demon trait, the residual fluctuations after using the arcane will disappear very quickly. When Gustav chased Aaron, he didn't show any arcane-related abilities. It was only at the moment of making up his mind that the sudden appearance of these Blazing Templars made Gustav a little uneasy.
It seems that the other party just thinks of himself as an ordinary adventurer!
There are complex historical legacies between the Arlett Cult and the Arcane Second Republic, and the contradictions between the two can be traced back to the four major planes of the Arcane Empire at the time of its founding. At that time, there was a violent conflict between the arcanists and the clerics of Arlett in order to incorporate the Plane into the administrative region. After a fierce battle, the Arcane Empire successfully took most of the land, and the plane became one of the administrative districts. Later, with the fall of the Arcane Empire, the rise of the First Republic, and the inheritance of the Second Republic, the contradictions between the Arcane system and the Arlett Sect became deeper and more intense.
If they let them know their identity as an arcane, I'm afraid their attitude is not much worse than that of the Council of the Children of the Night......
No longer suspicious, Gustav nodded and ran towards the outside of Squirrel Alley. Around him, the Burning Men were hunting the people of Squirrel Alley, and it seemed that the purpose of their trip was to remove Squirrel Alley from Redfarr's map.
"Wait a minute. The voice came from behind, causing Gustav's body to froze.
Are they suspicious of my true identity?
Without looking back, Gustav just pretended to be suspicious and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The other party's voice was silent for a moment, and the fighting around him made Gustav a little nervous: "Now you have two minutes and thirty seconds to get out of this street, if you want to go, go quickly, young adventurer." ”
Running forward quickly, Gustav thought of the incandescent flame in the hands of the leader of the other party, and had some kind of guess in his heart.
The chase with Aaron consumed a lot of physical strength for Gustav, but even so, running out of the remaining 700 meters in two minutes and thirty seconds was enough for a sword of a sage like Gustav.
Bang...... A huge explosion sounded, and the heat wave was huge, and Gustav, who had just run out of Squirrel Alley, felt the heat behind him. The wails continued, and the characters from the underworld who had been watching him and Aaron were captured one by one and executed on the spot.
The real man never looked back at the explosion, and despite the blazing light behind him, Gustav had no interest in taking a look.
These Blazing Templars were quick with swords, and apparently trained in execution, and knew the structure of their necks very well. Even with a hasty shot just now, the leader's sword was still precisely inserted into the vital point behind Aaron's neck, ensuring minimal bleeding while killing his opponent with pleasure. And looking at it now, although they hate the darkness, they will never torture their opponents, and often with a single sword cut, the heads of those people have already fallen to the ground.
............
Without stopping too long, Gustav trotted back to the road.
The explosion was too loud to attract Redfarr's guards. Being a normal person and showing up in Squirrel Alley for no reason would make Gustav suspicious.
Looking back slightly, a pair of people who incited the firewing headed towards the sky, they didn't stop too long, and after killing the people in Squirrel Alley, they left on their own initiative.
The residents of the neighborhood were completely noisy, and they opened their windows, walked down the stairs, looked at the location of Squirrel Alley, and sighed.
Redfar's dragon guards arrived as scheduled, and some of them were preventing the residents from going to check on them, and some of them rushed directly to the scene.
Gustav removed the black cloth from his head, folded it carefully, and put it in his pocket. Staggering past the guards, Gustav deliberately showed some curiosity, looking back from time to time.
"Hey, boy, hurry up and get to safety!" the guard passing by was indeed confused by Gustav's 'illusion' and told him to hurry away. "It could have been a long-planned explosion, and there could be a chain of events to follow. ”
People of the Arlett Sect...... The Blazing Templars appear to be a special team dedicated to 'sabotage behind enemy lines'...... Gustav was suspicious and hurried back to the 'Flame Pinecone' apartment.
Miss Sally, the Administrator, appeared to be asleep, and by the time Gustav returned to the Flame Pinecone, it was pitch black.
The sound of the explosion did not reach this side, and the residents of the neighborhood were still swimming in the world of dreams.
Returning to his bedroom with a soft hand, Gustav quickly lit the candle and began to check his status in the mirror.
Since Gustav borrowed the power of electricity when killing the three of them, his body was clean and not stained with blood. And Aaron's death has nothing to do with Gustav, well, if I have to say, his death may have been caused by Gustav's indirectness, and if Gustav didn't chase Aaron, Aaron might have run slower.
A great fatigue struck, which made Gustav's mind very painful and heavy.
The backlash of the spirit has come.
