Rhodes wasn't the only one in the chaos, there were people who wanted to kill him, and Nick slammed the table: "That's scotoxin, a handful can bring down ten cows, there's no antidote at all! Now you tell me - the person you should have killed drank the whole glass of wine, vomited it and left the banquet unharmed?"

"But I'm not lying, am I still trying to save someone I don't know, not only deceiving you, but also finding someone to assassinate my own king!" the young squire was full of panic: "The army of the whole city is hunting for the assassins, I can't stay here any longer, you should also leave quickly, this time ...... It's better never to come to me...... I'm going back, I'm afraid the palace will be closed for investigation soon!"

The leader of the spies waited outside the inn for news of his target's death, but watched him return to his lodgings unharmed, and later received news of King Elite's assassination. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoNo one survived that poison, Donnie must have lied, either he didn't poison until the assassination happened, or he was poisoned but the target never drank it.

In either case, you can't change what has happened, you can only think about making up for it and trying to get the job done.

The use value of this guy in front of him has been reduced to zero, he knows too much, and keeping it will only bring trouble. Nick glanced at his subordinate next to him, and the man immediately understood, following the palace attendant as he stood up and left.

......

There was a slight muffled sound of a human body falling to the ground outside the door, and the leader of the spy shook his head and began to figure out his next move. Actually, it's not all bad news: the target somehow became an assassination suspect, and a team of soldiers searched the hotel where he was staying, but was avoided half a step ahead......

Nick didn't believe that Rhodes had anything to do with the king's assassination, and the empire was overwhelmingly superior, and it was unreasonable to sacrifice the only son of the army commander just to assassinate King Antelli. In this case, the target's escape seems to be a thief's heart, but it's understandable why they're panicking - if the head of security at the Antelli Palace is frantically trying to find a scapegoat, the attendees from Midland are of course the first suspect.

After calming down and thinking about it for a while, the anger subsided, and Nick realized that he had a chance.

The success rate of provoking a war with poisoning is not high, but now a better opportunity is in front of him: if Rhodes is arrested and imprisoned, it will be difficult to kill him without a man in the prison, but now that he has escaped, if he can take advantage of the chaos and dump the pot to the pursuers of the Antelli government, then the situation will be "the assassination of the ruler of one side and the execution of a high nobleman of the other side without trial". Two extremely bad political events collided together, and even if you tried to stop them, you would not be able to prevent the outbreak of war!

The spy leader was excited in his heart, this time he was afraid that he had picked up a bargain by mistake, and immediately called back to his subordinates without hesitation: "Let all our people move, and immediately try to eliminate the target!"

"Bang-" Grom smashed the earthen wall that blocked everyone, and fresh air poured in, and everyone took a deep breath, it felt good to escape.

"Extinguish the bright things. ”

Although he didn't know why he did this, Rhodes obediently stopped the magic infusion of the ring, and the light flickered a few times and disappeared, and everyone reappeared in the protection of the darkness.

"Alright, go out, watch your step, don't make a sound. ”

The crowd held their breath and came out of the hole and onto the surface.

The sky is low, the moon is shining, the sparse starlight is scattered on the sky, and behind it, the walls of Sardenburg stand quietly in the night, the thick and tall silhouette is full of oppression, and when you look from the bottom up, you can't help but suspect that it will tilt towards you.

It was silent, only the light of the torches on the top of the city walls reminded everyone that they were not safe.

"Let's go farther first, this person from the city wall can still see us. Dieter lowered his voice and walked away from the city walls.

There was no road, and the weeds around him were half a man tall, and it was difficult to hide if he squatted in them, Rhodes straightened up and looked around his surroundings, far beyond ordinary people's night vision, which made him quickly adapt to the darkness, and then, he felt a chill behind him.

In the darkness of night, he was greeted by a vast wasteland, dotted with small mounds and irregular rocks, with some stone monuments erected in between. Judging from the shape of the square or round, it is clear that it is not a miracle of nature.

They entered the tunnel through a dilapidated house on the inside of the city wall and arrived at a cemetery outside the wall...... Looking back, the earthen wall that Grom had just broken was clearly a small mound!

The group crawled out of the grave.

Not only did Rhodes find out, but no one made a fuss, and if they didn't make it out, they might have crawled out of the grave and would have been lying back down soon, maybe not even a tombstone. Spies, no matter what country they are caught in, will not end well, let alone spies related to the assassination of the king!

"Hey, what a great place, are we going to spend the night here?"

"When are you still poor!" Sylna glared at Morfan in the dark, not knowing if the other party had seen it.

"Don't talk!"

The group walked under the moonlight for a while, found a dwelling, broke into it, tied the head of the owner who slept in it, and threw it in the house, and began to make the next step.

"This is the hinterland of Antelli, and a dozen of us can neither run away quietly nor force our way back to the territory of the empire. Dieter said bitterly: "I am afraid that before dawn, there will be all the pursuing soldiers and bounty hunters around, so I decided to divide the people into three groups and evacuate separately." The two groups of people who do not act with Rhodes should be used as bait to expose their whereabouts first and then conceal them, trying to create opportunities for him to escape. ”

No one spoke, and although they escaped from the city quickly and competently, everyone was still a little confused: how could it have suddenly turned into a dangerous death when they were guarding a trip, what an easy and beautiful errand they had not even prepared an escape plan?

"I'm sorry, I don't know exactly where the enemy is coming from, and as a commander, 'not knowing' is in itself a serious dereliction of duty, and I can't escape the blame. But the matter has come to this, and Rod's safety is entrusted to everyone. Dieter's tone was unprecedentedly heavy, and he looked at the boy: "You, go with Grom and Pauli, hand over the sword, you carry that big guy around the market all day long, it's too conspicuous." ”

"Why, there are more people and more power, we have Grom here. ”

"Great strength, greater purpose. Grom is very strong, and it will not be a problem to deal with ten, twenty, or even a hundred ordinary soldiers. Pauli snorted, "But what about a thousand and ten thousand? Not to mention that the Antelli army can't all be ordinary people." This is the hinterland of Antaili, and if you want to break out, more than a dozen of us have the strength of a sword master. ”

"Okay......" Rhodes was a little reluctant, but when he understood that he was not willful, he obediently untied the "dragon slayer" on his back that he had never even seen a dragon, "but I want to bring Yin'er, she has not been seen by many people...... And Ciri. ”

"No, I'm not going with you. Ciri shook his head gloomily, looking extremely depressed: "I have always been like this, bringing misfortune and calamity to others, there are always bad things that happen to those who have helped me and who I care about, I thought ...... In this world, there can be no accidents, but it turns out that something happened...... I'm just a broom star, and I'm going to get you in trouble. ”

No wonder they didn't say a word all the way, it turned out to be entangled in this. Seeing Ciri's depressed appearance, Rhodes hurriedly comforted him: "You didn't kill the king, and it was someone else who poisoned me, so it has nothing to do with you, okay!"

"If I hadn't encouraged you to participate in the tournament together, none of these things would have happened......"

"I wanted to participate myself, and I would have signed up if you hadn't shown up. ”

"That's enough, whose responsibility is it, let's discuss it later. Dieter interrupted the girl's self-blame, and then remembered something: "Ciri, did you enter this world with the help of others or your own ability?"

"Own ability. ”

"In other words, when you leave, you can only rely on yourself, can you take someone with you?"

"Yes, theoretically, it is possible to bring people. The girl replied, "I understand what you want me to do...... But no. I don't have the ability to teleport at a fixed point, so I've been using a tricky method - sensing the 'magic activities' that project energy into the void, picking one of them as the end coordinates, and then using the ability to travel through time and space. But 'magic activity' is not necessarily produced by a mage's casting, and natural phenomena may have the same effect - the day I came to this world, it was because I sensed the 'magic resurgence' in your mouth, and a flash of inspiration in my mind chose it as the end for no reason...... Do you see what I mean?"

"Understood, the teleportation is not necessarily safe. Ditch nodded: "However, if Rhodes' life is in danger, no matter how unsafe the teleportation is, it is worth a try." ”

"But as soon as I use the energy in my blood, Wild Hunt will immediately sense and track me ......"

"You've escaped the Wild Hunters so many times, you should be able to handle them, and I'm sure Rode's skills won't hold you back too much. When he's in danger worse than being chased by a wild hunt, take him away, okay? ”

"Understood. Ciri furrowed her eyebrows and agreed.

"Don't put your sword on your back later, it's too conspicuous. Ditch nodded, and after instructing, he turned to the young man on the other side: "Rod, I allow you to take the fox with you, provided that you have to accept Sylna's makeup and disguise again, and it is better to learn it yourself, besides, never let your pet be seen by anyone, understand?"

"Good. ”

"Silna, prepare for disguise, Pauli, let the people out of the house and get something to eat. ”

Sylna began to re-camouflage Rhodes and Ciri, and Dieter divided the rest of the group into two more teams. As the leader of the caravan, he was likely to be pursued as one of the important suspects, so he decided not to go with Rhodes The owner of the house prepared some food under surveillance, and after everyone filled their stomachs and locked the owner back in the back room, they left the house in three groups, each ran in the agreed direction, and soon disappeared into the night.
