Chapter 341: Bloody Baron
Without saying a word, a rain of arrows flew from behind the wooden walls, as if to shoot the man who dared to enter the crow's nest alone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Edward's expression was still calm, and he opened his left hand, and a silver barrier of holy light protected him in all directions, and the arrows that shot at the barrier bounced off the barrier and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the archers were stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to continue shooting or stop and wait for the mediation of the leader.
"What are you doing!Keep shooting!" the leader stretched out his head wrapped in visor from behind the wooden wall, inspected the situation, and exclaimed, "He's a wizard! His magic barrier won't last long!"
Before the leader could finish speaking, his head was suddenly grabbed by a huge force, and he flew out from behind the wooden wall with his body.
Edward's divine grip gripped the leader's head with pinpoint precision, grabbing him towards Edward, slamming him into the barrier of light before slumping to the ground.
Seeing that the leader was caught, the archers stopped shooting and looked at the man in horror.
From the clothes worn by the soldiers, Edward could tell that these men were in the same group as the gang at the Crossroads Hotel. Such a subordinate must have been the connivance of the chief, so Edward had no mercy, grabbed the limp-down leader with one hand, and threw him towards the gate of the crow's nest with a wave of his hand.
There was a loud "boom", and the leader was slammed on the gate, and the wooden gate could not withstand the huge force and shattered, and the leader also vomited blood and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Edward walked in slowly, and the soldiers guarding the gate seemed to be intimidated by Edward's great strength, and only dared to tremble and hold the weapon in his hand, facing him from a distance.
Edward looked at the town outside the crow's nest and saw that although it was not inhabited, it was not as well-served as the people who lived outside the city. Moreover, Edward could see that there were many elderly people and children here, and they all seemed to be some interned war refugees. When Edward, the "intruder", entered, most of them hid in the house, and a few approached the soldiers, who apparently seemed more reliable than Edward.
Seeing this, Edward had a bottom in his heart. Although this baron is known as the Bloody Baron, at least his attitude towards refugees is worthy of recognition.
"I am Edward Lee, the head of the Demon Hunter Knights, and I have your baron come out and speak to me. Edward looked at the nervous soldiers and said, "I don't want to force you violently. ”
"Young man, what do you want to do when you call me. A fat, tall man in a red coat and a fur hat with a big beard appeared behind the soldiers, and when they saw him coming, the group of soldiers seemed to have a backbone and gathered towards him.
"Do you think you're alone in trying to fight against my bloody baron?"
"You're the Bloody Baron?" said Edward, putting away the Light Barrier and looking at the Baron calmly, "I'm not here for fights or wars, I'm here to announce the founding of my Demon Hunter Knights, and I also want to ask Your Excellency about the whereabouts of the two men." ”
"Demon Hunter Knights?" the baron thought for a moment and shook his head, "I've never heard of this organization......"
As soon as the baron finished speaking, his men whispered in his ear a few times before it dawned on him.
"I see, an organization with only four women and a rock giant. The Bloody Baron said disdainfully, "Can this be called a Knights?"
"I am the lord of Willen, and you have set up a knight order on my territory without permission, have you asked my opinion?" the baron seemed to be upset with Edward's attitude, and said angrily, "Besides, you still want to inquire about the whereabouts of the two men from me?
"I don't see your name on the list of officials in Nilfgaard. Or is your Excellency an official of Redania?" Edward's words made the expression of the Bloody Baron very unnatural, as we all know, the soldiers who appeared in this land, most of the soldiers who belonged to Redania were deserters, and most of the ones who belonged to Nilfgaard belonged to secret agents.
Edward laughed, "I appreciate your efforts to host refugees on this land, but I can't allow your men to oppress the people. ”
"Our enemies of the Demon Hunter Knights are demons everywhere, and we don't care who rules here. ”
The Bloody Baron frowned, glancing at the man he didn't know if he was alive or dead, he already guessed what was going on.
"It seems that there is some misunderstanding between us. With a wave of his hand, the baron ordered his soldiers to put away their weapons, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Your Excellency wants to find someone, we can go inside and talk in detail." ”
The Bloody Baron's deferential attitude made Edward froze for a moment, but fearlessly, he followed the Baron into the inner city of the Crow's Nest.
The baron was so enthusiastic about Edward that he hosted a sumptuous luncheon in his castle and ordered his men not to enter.
"Now, Mr. Edward can tell me who you are looking for. The baron poured a few sips of wine as if to get himself drunk, and then he slurred his words.
Edward took out the portraits of Hermione and Ciri, and they immediately laughed, "Very well, the person you are looking for did come to me the other day, and these two little girls have been a lifesaver for me, and I am more than happy to tell you their whereabouts." ”
"But......" said the baron, pausing.
"Let's get straight to the point, I'll try to help you without violating morality. Edward said, "After all, the two of us will coexist in the land of Willen, and the two of us had better have a good relationship." I don't want to get involved in politics, but you'd better keep your men in check. ”
"Of course, though I am called the Bloody Baron, I still have compassion for the refugees. "It's just that my wife and daughter have suddenly disappeared lately, and I'm in no mood to deal with anything." ”
"Disappear?"
"Yes, it's gone. I woke up one day and they were gone. The baron lowered his head in a low mood, trying to hide some other emotion.
"You're lying, Baron. Edward's eyes were like torches, staring at the baron, "If you want me to help you, you'd better tell the truth." Otherwise, it's not good for you or me. ”
"When you say disappear, they must have been taken captive, or they ran away on their own. Edward said, "When I came in, I noticed the fluctuation of the space mana in your house, and I am sure that in the past month, no space magic has been used here, so I rule out the possibility of being teleported away with some space magic." ”
"I find it hard to believe that they will be taken captive under heavy guards, and that they will be left to flee on their own. Edward stood up and said, "Tell me, Baron, what caused them to leave?" (to be continued.) )
