Chapter 9: The Dark Tide Surges

In the southeast corner of the Rhine Empire, there is a prosperous city, which stands on an endless silver plateau.

Although the walls are not high, they are forged from magic steel, and Mithril is smeared on its surface, shining in the sunlight, as if it is integrated with the entire Silver Sky Plateau. On the city wall, every few dozen steps, there is a magic guide infantry guarding, wearing the most advanced magic armor, with a demonic sword pinned to his waist, and a magic spear nearly a meter long, which adds a powerful aura to their already terrifying foundation. Beneath the inner wall near the city gate, hundreds of magical golems glowed blue at regular intervals in the decks on their bodies, indicating that they were on standby. A five-meter-long shaped cannon mount stands on top of the city wall. These are just superficial arrangements, and who knows how many secret weapons are on standby?

This seems to be a city that is impossible to be captured, although no one should come to attack it, because this is the highest city in the Rhine Empire.

Today's Silver Sky City also ushered in a peaceful day, and the knight of Philun, who was stationed at the gate of the city, had a face on the floor as always, staring at every passing truck and passenger car with eyes as if no one owed him two million gold coins.

As an upright knight, he has a meticulous attitude, a rigorous heart, but in the private words of the soldiers, "almost perverted obsessive-compulsive disorder." ”

"That truck over there, your wheels are two centimeters off the entire main road, that's right, it's you, don't look around, I tell you, if you don't set it right for me, you want to enter the main gate today." ”

After watching the truck in front of him hurriedly straighten the body, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Continue to let go." ”

But at this moment, an ordinary-looking ordinary carriage drove directly in front of him. The upright knight of Philen showed anger on his face, and when he was about to train people, he saw two people clearly.

"You've come back from your mission, young master, have you arrived safely?" it seemed that he obviously knew the two of them.

The coachman just nodded, and then the knight said to the soldier next to him, "Open the side door." ”

When the soldiers on the side heard the sound, they immediately walked to the wall, pressed a button, and a small entrance slowly opened on the originally smooth steel city wall, which was next to the main entrance.

The carriage didn't make much of a move, and drove straight into the lane.

This carriage obviously brought some confusion to the queued convoy, "Why can they skip the queue and go straight to the city?" A bodyguard-like figure said to a fat man with a big belly next to him, "Xiaohao, haven't you followed me into Silver Sky City a few times and seen the coat of arms on that carriage just now?"

On the back of the carriage, there was a coat of arms dyed with black pigment, which resembled a scale, but the two flat plates were supported by a sword.

"That's an official car, they take the official road, it's different from our business roads, go a few more times, you should still see it." The merchant was unimpressed.

Xiao Hao could only mutter, "But that car looks so ordinary, and it doesn't look like an official car." ”

After the carriage drove into the city, it went directly along the main road to the outskirts of the city, looking at the carriages on both sides, people came and went, bustling, all kinds of vendors shouted and traded, a good scene of prosperity.

A burly man in the car frowned, "When will the urban environmental protection law be implemented, our urban infrastructure in Yinkong City is obviously about to catch up with the origin, but we are still using carriages, and almost all of them are horses of low-grade brute breeds, which makes this beautiful city full of commotion." ”

The coachman just tilted his eyes and glanced at both sides, all the carriages that stood in front of him, after those horses saw the two horses they were driving, they all took the initiative to back down, "You can't expect all ordinary citizens to have the ability to raise high-level magical beasts or buy magic guide transportation equipment, Silver Sky City has only been established for less than fifty years, and it is already very powerful to have the current achievements." ”

The big man scratched his head, "Alas, I only hope that the economic development will be faster, and strive to turn the Silver Sky City into the appearance of the origin as soon as possible." ”

"Everything must be done gradually, otherwise the steps will be too fast and too big, and it will be easy to pull. The coachman was still calm.

After a long time, the carriage drove through the bustling main town, past the sparsely populated but luxuriously decorated, well-guarded villas, and finally into the suburbs.

They are now walking in a mountainous area, which is said to be a mountain range, but in fact it is just a higher hill, but they also have a beautiful scenery, with a verdant greenery that is different from the Silver Sky Plateau, with green grass everywhere, tall silver fir trees, just like loyal guards who serve as guards, standing on both sides of the road with their chests straight. This mountainous area is inhabited by many small beasts, and flocks of birds are flying, making it full of vitality.

This area is known as Silver Peak.

Walking into the depths of Silver Peak, you can faintly look at a mansion not far away. It has no splendid appearance, but it has white concrete walls and vermilion roofs, it has no heavily armed guards, but it has happy servants, dutiful deacons, it has no vast area, but it is as reassuring as a leisurely manor.

As the carriage drove through the manor, the maids and maids who were working by greeted each other, "Yo, you're back." "It's been a hard trip. "Did you encounter anything interesting on the way?" ......

Both men in the car responded with a smile, and as they approached the main house, a housekeeper-like grandfather walked up to them. Dressed in a black suit, wearing a monocle, and combing smooth white hair.

"I'm back, the master has been waiting for a long time, come with me. The old man said with a kind smile.

"Yes!, Steward Wu!" replied the two of them very seriously.

While walking through the long corridor and listening to the sound of boots colliding with the floor, the old man walking in front suddenly spoke, "Young Master, has it been delivered safely?" "Yes, Steward Wu, the young master has not encountered any danger. The coachman replied.

At this time, the burly man, as if he had something to say, looked like he wanted to say something, but Steward Wu did not look back, but said, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”

"Yes, Steward Wu, I'm just a little curious, with the strength of the young master, I shouldn't encounter any danger when I go to that kind of place, why, do it like this," he showed a puzzled gaze, "It's so exciting." ”

Hearing his question, Steward Wu had to sigh, "Alas, you don't know, the master was frightened by the young master when he was a child." That time was really thrilling, alas, I won't say much more, it's better that you don't know much about it. ”

Walking to the door of the study, Steward Wu gently pushed the door open, "You guys go in and return to life." ”

The two of them saluted Steward Wu, walked into the study, and closed the door with their hands.

The layout of the study is not large, a chair, a desk, a sofa, a coffee table, and a few huge bookcases full of books against the wall, except for the carpet on the floor and the magic crystal lamp on the ceiling, this is all the configuration of this study.

At this time, a man is sitting at his desk, dealing with the mountains of papers on both sides. He looked to be in his thirties, with dark middle hair, a rather Sven-looking face, and a calm complexion, but he couldn't hide the depth in his eyes.

He sat at his desk in a white lounge dress instead of a traditional aristocratic attire.

The two walked up to him, "Master, the young master has been delivered safely, the mission has been completed, and we are here to restore our lives." ”

The man in front of him did not raise his head, nor did he stop the pen in his hand, but nodded his head slightly.

"All arrangements have been made, everyone has taken up their positions, all the people in the know have been arranged, but," the driver paused to look at the face of the man in front of him.

"It's okay, go on. The man's face was pale.

"We found that there is an uncontrollable armed force near the young master, and I am worried that this will affect the young master, but you did not allow us to make any big moves before, so we didn't make a move. With that, the coachman looked at the man with some nervousness.

Who knew that the man didn't care, "I didn't let you do it, it was my own considerations, and I believe that my arrangement by Jiang Heng's side is enough to protect him." No matter how bad it is, isn't there still Mesha?" he stretched out another document, his eyes revealing a fierce gleam, "Besides, who dares to target my son? The last group of people who dared to hurt my son have long since been smashed to slag and in the company of maggots in the ground." ”

The two remembered Lottie, who angrily scolded the young master when they met for the first time, and suddenly felt that it was better for the master not to know about it.

He seemed to have finally finished processing the documents in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at the bright scenery outside the window, "My child, he wants to be calm, then I will give him a period of peace." ”......

At this moment, the entrance to Biyan City Prison.

Two soldiers were listlessly guarding the door, when one soldier suddenly said, "If you want me to say, we're too unlucky, aren't we? ”

At this time, another soldier said, "Come on, who told us to be on duty today, but it's strange to say, the prison warden never seemed to be so generous when he celebrated his birthday before, and he usually likes to catch us for being lazy, and then deducting our wages, and his little life is so low-key that I now know that today is his birthday"

"Hey, who's to say it's not, iron roosters also have times when they pluck their feathers. However, it is also possible that he wants to receive gift money. ”

Just as the two soldiers were chattering, a thin man in a military uniform suddenly appeared at the entrance, "Is this how you guys are on duty?"

The two soldiers were startled by the man who suddenly appeared, and at first glance at his face, he didn't know who, and the second time he looked at his clothes, my mother, blue feathers, this was at least a person at the rank of squadron leader or above.

The two of them immediately stood up straight and saluted, "Report to the sir, everything is calm inside the prison, and the prisoners have not rioted or escaped from prison. ”

The man snorted, "It's barely like a word." ”

At this time, the soldier who spoke first asked cautiously, "Excuse me, sir, what is the matter with you coming here?"

At this time, the man took out a arraignment warrant from his arms, "The city lord ordered me to interrogate the three prisoners who were just imprisoned yesterday. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the Lord of the City Lord's Mansion, how can such a trivial matter bother you to come in person, as long as you say a word, I will immediately escort them to the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, another soldier hurriedly patted his ass.

"What's that!" the man looked at him with disdain, "Is the City Lord's Mansion a place to interrogate prisoners?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my stupid mouth. Seeing that he had slapped the horse's leg, the soldier quickly apologized, "Then I'll take you there, my lord." "Well, okay. ”

The man followed a soldier through the prison, and the soldier also found an opportunity to talk to the man, "My lord, those three prisoners have been specially cared for from above, so they are being held in the deepest part, it is dark and damp inside, please be careful." ”

The man just mumbled and said nothing more, and the soldier closed the conversation with interest.

Why do you want to say that the style of painting is completely different when you go to the entrance of a room with a completely different style of painting? For example, the other cells are just ordinary steel, and the steel here is connected to high-voltage electricity......

In fact, the steel is engraved with thunder runes and connected to the prison's magic energy system.

"Of course, because there is a transcendent among the three prisoners, although it is only the gray feather level, we also have to be cautious, so all three of them are arranged in the suite where the transcendent is kept. ”

"I see, open the door. The man's face was cold, and it was getting colder.

The soldier didn't dare to slack off, and quickly opened the cell, and then turned around, "Then sir, I'll ...... first."

Before he could finish his words, he felt his neck cold, and reached out to touch it, and in his eyes of disbelief, he saw the red on his hand.

"You!you!!" the soldier fell, his shocked eyes met the man's cold gaze and a curved blade in his hand. "Thank you for showing me the way and opening the cell. ”

Without paying much attention to the soldier who was about to become a corpse, the man walked straight into the cell.

The three people who were squatting on the ground in the cell heard the movement outside the door, and when they looked to the door, they saw the thin man walking in front of them.

"Great, my lord, are you here to save us?" "I knew the organization wouldn't give up on us!" The three of them clearly knew the man in front of them, and Judas Judas and Judas hurriedly greeted them.

Only the bald man met the man's cold eyes, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, "My lord, don't worry, we haven't said anything yet." ”

"Oh~" the man reached his cutlass to his mouth and licked it with his tongue, "You mean you'll say it later." There was madness in his eyes.

"No!no!no!no! As long as the organization needs it, I am willing to jump into the manure pit. ”

"That's good," the man put away his scimitar, and his crazy eyes slowly turned back to coldness, "you are still valuable, I will take you out." ”

"Thank you, thank you, your lord!" the three of them quickly knelt on the ground, pressing their bodies to the lowest level as much as possible.

"Well," the man crouched down, staring at the three in front of him, "it's almost impossible to get out of the city with the three of you, and do you think your worth is necessary for me to risk being surrounded by Biyan City to save you?"

"That's you!" the bald man looked up suddenly, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a flash of white light.

He clutched his neck in disbelief as blood gushed out, looked at the two people who had fallen at his feet, and stared at the man in front of him with vicious eyes, "You!

The man laughed, "Give them hope first, then put them in despair." I just like to see people stare at me in despair. ”

"You're really, really crazy. The bald man's tone grew weaker and weaker, and he eventually fell to the ground.

Looking at the few people who were gradually dying, the man lifted the scimitar in his hand without the slightest trace of blood, stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the exit.

The soldier who stayed at the door saw the man walk out, "Sir, you finished the arraignment so soon?"

The man smiled evilly at the soldier, "It's called efficiency, you should learn it." ”

"Yes, yes," the soldier said, smiling, "then, why didn't that brother of mine come out with you, sir?"

"Oh, your brother is locking the door, be slow. I'll go first. ”

"Yes, sir, you go slowly. ”

Looking at the man who kept walking away, the soldier glanced back at the entrance of the prison, "This kid, why is it so slow today?"

As soon as he turned around, he was startled, only to see the man standing in front of him with a smile, "Chief, sir, do you have anything else to do?"

The man stretched out his hand and patted the soldier's shoulder, "I just feel like I'm in a good mood today, and I want to teach you what efficiency is." ”......
