Section 46 Song of Return III

An hour later, the thief reappeared on the roof, still like a swift monkey, looking left and right, and then leaping down from the roof and into the vegetable garden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He never dreamed that at the moment of landing, two black shadows stood in front of him. The thieves were startled, hurriedly took two steps back, and looked at them in horror. Obviously, in his usual career of stealing, he never expected such an accident. Now, when the accident happened suddenly, he couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart and his legs and feet weakened.

He wasn't cowardly, though. With the remaining courage, he dared to threaten, "Who are you, don't look for trouble, get out of here!"

Rex said coldly, "If you're smart enough, just give it back." ”

The thief sneered, "What qualifications do you have to order me! He slapped his bulging backpack.

"I feel sorry for Tarot Lena," said Barbas, "and it's a shame to have a thief father." ”

"Lenna?" the thief asked rhetorically, "how do you know her?"

"We are her friends. Rex said, "I ask you, where is your partner?"

The thief was secretly surprised, and quibbled, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"We've heard your secret conversations. "I know you want to steal the chest, so I'm here to stop you." ”

The thief took another half step back, stared at the two of them vigilantly, pressed the burden with one hand, and said triumphantly, "Don't imagine." He bent his knees slightly, lowered his body, and his eyes forwarded, and suddenly burst out, like a snake, over the fence wall, and rushed towards the road.

"Let me do it. Barbas shouted. In an instant, he turned into a giant wolf, and stepped out of his limbs like an arrow from a string. The thief howled and didn't get far before he was thrown to the ground. Barbas threw his big fist and beat him violently. Bursts of painful wails rang out in the night sky.

A few minutes later, the thieves were dragged back by Babas and dumped on the ground. And took the treasure chest back from his baggage. At this time, the guards, Kalia's mother, and the villagers all rushed to find out.

Rex hands the chest to Tuyana and tells her that the thieves have just stolen Kalia's chest, and they help her recover it. The old woman clutched the treasure chest and begged the guards to arrest him and punish him.

Rex stepped forward to stop them. The captain of the guard immediately drew his sword and shouted angrily, "Citizen, I warn you, you are interfering in state affairs, get out of my way." ”

Seeing this, Babas immediately stepped forward to coordinate. Said amicably, "Sir, don't be angry. We'll have a few words with him, and we'll be fine soon, so please allow me. ”

The captain was still staring at them, not believing in the slightest. At this time, Tuyana came up to the captain and said, "Sir, they are good people. I pledge with my life, please help them. ”

The old woman's words worked very well, and the captain said without a smile, "Give you three minutes, and solve it quickly!"

Barbas thanked the captain and stepped forward to question the thieves. He sternly asked, "Who is your companion?"

The thief dodged Barbas's gaze and said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand!"

"Don't be stupid, tell me, who is your companion?" asked Babas.

"I... I don't understand. The thief stammered.

"Where is the murderer of Kalia?"

Barbas's torture burned him like fire, and he cowered, slowly rising and hesitating.

"You say he's an accomplice in killing Kalia?" asked the old woman, Tuana, in a loud voice.

"Yes. Rex replied.

Tuyana suddenly went crazy and screamed and rushed towards the thieves. She was like an old lynx, scratching at the thief's hair and cheek with her nails. While crying and tearing, "Murderer, murderer, murderer, you return my daughter!"

The captain of the guard hurried over to stop the old woman from arresting the thieves, and the two guards pulled them away. The captain asked Babas with a serious face, "You just said that Kalia was killed by his accomplices?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"What evidence do you have?"

"We heard him talking to his accomplices. He confessed to killing Kalia in order to steal her chest, and then blamed Lord. ”

"That's true, sir. Tuyana pulls out the chest to prove that Barbas is not lying. "This is the treasure chest that the two warriors have just taken back from him. ”

The captain turned to look at the treasure chest and shouted to the thief, "Who is the murderer?

Under the continuous questioning of the captain of the guard, the thief finally confessed to the crime. For two years, all the murders in Bones Town were orchestrated by him and a swordsman named Taksim. The homeless Schiller is in charge of assassinating his target, who then steals the property and then divides the spoils with Taksim.

Hearing the name Taksim, Rex was secretly surprised. He felt that the matter had become serious. However, he did not say what was in his heart, because he wanted to witness the man with his own eyes.

The mercenary Lord was a gambler, so they blamed him for believing that Lord had killed Kalia for money. This way, everyone's attention will be focused on Lord and not on the chest. At the same time, the thieves also named Taksim and Schiller's old lair, the Ghost Manor.

Wraith Manor, an abandoned manor, is located in a birch forest two miles west of Bonestown. After learning this important information, the two rushed to the manor before they had time to inform Caterina.

At this time, the sky is faint. They arrived at the manor, accompanied by the captain of the guard, who had been escorted by the guards to the city of flowers.

The three of them looked at each other, the courtyard wall was broken, the gate had collapsed on one side, and the other side stood alone. The house was in tatters, the steps up the stairs were incomplete, and the doorposts were rotten. All indications are that the manor is in ruins.

Cautiously, they entered the dilapidated house, and the captain lit the torches he carried with him to dispel the darkness. Suddenly, the tramp Schiller jumped out of the darkness and pounced on the captain like a tiger, and the captain of the guard drew his sword, but Rex was faster. The Nightingale's blade had already pierced out, pointing straight at the homeless man's left neck. Schiller sensed the sword aura, hurriedly retreated with his left leg, advanced his right shoulder to the left, turned around, and flashed the blade of the sword.

Still, the Nightingale's Blade grazed his shoulder, and blood oozed from the tear in his garment, dripping down his arm and onto the ground.

"We meet again, young elf!" said the tramp Schiller in a mocking tone.

"That's right, murderer!" replied Rex.

"Damn it, the thieves must have told you. Schiller said hatefully, "I said earlier, that guy is not reliable. ”

"Take it easy, Schiller. Thieves don't matter anymore. A deep voice came from the darkness. Then, a man slowly walked out, stopped beside the homeless man, and said slowly, "Today is a lucky day, there are so many distinguished guests here, you should treat them well." ”

"Taksim!" Rex shouted.

"Oh, it's Rex!" Taksim laughed, "It's been a long time. ”

"Say no to me for a long time. Do you know what you've done?" Rex asked him like an inquisitor.

"What do you want to say?" Taksim replied lightly, unconcerned about Rex's burning anger, "the assassination in Bonestown?"

"Yes, you're breaking the rules of the Brotherhood, you're destroying the League of Assassins!"

Taksim chuckled in a strange voice, "Destroy? As you say, I'm destroying it. The Night Mother is dead, and the Brotherhood is broken. The old order has been broken and cannot be restored. What I'm doing is to build a new order, a whole new organization. All sacrifices are worth and necessary in order to achieve this great ideal, including myself. ”

"The Brotherhood will not collapse, Sarn has already begun to rebuild the Church. Your ridiculous ideals will not come true, and I am here to stop you. ”

"Hahaha. Taksim let out a terrifying sneer, "Don't you think, I'm going to use the blood of everyone in Bones Town to accomplish this great ideal." ”

"Crazy, crazy, you're a madman. The captain of the guard shouted hysterically.

"Yes, I'm crazy," Taksim sneered again, "Whoever tries to stop me will have to die." ”

Almost instantly, Taksim lunged at the trio like a bull with the Shadow Sword in hand. This famous swordsman has extraordinary martial arts, and when paired with the artifact in the sword, it is even more powerful.

The trio quickly jumped off the side. The Shadow Sword slashed, and with a loud thud, a large hole was cut through the solid stone wall. With a flick of his hand, half of the wall was slashed by the sword, and the broken wall collapsed with a bang.

They were startled, but quickly calmed down. At this time, Schiller on the side was also eager to try, holding a short sword and waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack them.

The captain stepped forward with his sword in hand, "The Nords are handed over to you. With that, he turned around and confronted the homeless man.

"You've picked the wrong opponent!" Taksim scoffed, "Did the old guy only teach you to run?

He provoked violently, raising the Shadow Sword again and slashing at it. Rex didn't dodge, wielding the Nightingale's Blade to fight him. The Shadow Sword is a heavy sword that is powerful enough to shatter enemy bones with ease. The Nightingale's Blade is a light sword, easy to wield, and can continuously stab the opponent, and when the two soldiers intersect, it is naturally the Shadow Sword that has the advantage.

But Rex, with his oddly dexterous defensive moves, defused Taksim's attacks one by one. However, when he wanted to defeat the other party, he found that he had no chance of winning. The two attacked each other back and forth, and Rex gradually gained the upper hand. Babas turned into a giant wolf, twisted his lips, roared like lightning, jumped up, threw Taksim on his back, and bit the back of his neck.

However, Barbas's teeth did not restrict the opponent's movements. With a howl of rage, Taksim shifted the Shadow Sword to his left hand, his right hand grabbing over his head, and grabbing Babas's throat with his steel-clawed fingers, squeezing it hard.

Barbas screamed and let go of his teeth, his muscles losing strength, and his body lay limp. Taksim pinched his neck and took him off his back and held it up in front of his eyes. Rex seized the opportunity and stabbed Taksim in the left side of the waist.

The swordsman didn't have time to resist, and the Nightingale's Blade stabbed in. The pain hit, and the muscles in Taksim's face twitched a few times, and he threw Babbas at Rex. Babas lay on the ground and gasped violently for a few moments before recovering.

At this moment, Taksim pulled out the Nightingale's Blade and tossed it aside. Cover the wound and stop the blood from flowing out.

"He's wounded, attack. Barbas shouted.

The two erupted with amazing strength, fists and wolf teeth like countless poisonous snakes, frantically biting each other's heads, faces, necks, shoulders, etc., violently hitting each other's flesh, heavy gasps, chaotic struggles, and roars mixed together.

Blood splashed between the three muscular bodies, life and life competed, strength and power fiercely clashed, and both sides were boiling with blood, both wanting to kill each other.

They fought savagely, and Taksim's sword had long since been knocked down. Rex desperately suppressed his body, and Barbas quickly tore at the softest part of his throat, bite through one bite at a time, bite open, and the Adam's apple was ripped open a large hole, and columns of blood gushed out and scattered all over the ground.

Taksim's hands and feet trembled, and his howls grew stronger and weaker, and finally subsided. His hands and feet were not moving, his body was lying upright, and he died.

After Schiller lost his helper, he voluntarily surrendered to the captain, and was tied up by the captain after handing over the short sword.
