Chapter 3: The Witness of History
On the top of a hill on the northern outskirts of Wasam, Hassana looked boredly in the direction of the blazing Dangerous Rock Fort, waiting for a signal from Isenhard. Although he was not directly involved in www.biquge.info the operation, he was an indispensable part of the plan, and he had to be on standby at all times to make this operation completely flawless. Finally, a bright white light shot high into the air: it was a magic arrow fired by Esenhard's darkgold hunting bow, the Withered String, and a signal to him to do his duty.
There is no room for error! Hai Shan quickly cheered up, turned around and ran to the side of the winding mountain road, where a black horse was already waiting. He untied the reins, turned over and mounted, galloped down the mountain, ran all the way to the vicinity of the outpost of the city guard in the northern suburbs, and then turned over and dismounted, sneakily touched into the bushes behind the outpost, puffed out his cheeks and learned the owl call: "Woo, woo, purr......
After a while, the squad leader, Hasraba, came out of the outpost house with a pretentious yawn, unbuttoned his pants and peed in the wind, and then ran back quickly. Looking at the direction of the dangerous rock fort again, the fire suddenly became fierce, burning half of the sky.
The time is awesome! Hassan's heart was impressed, of course, it was inseparable from the absolute trust of the planners in the executors of the division of labor at all levels, and if something had gone wrong with him or with Hasrab, it would not have been so seamless. Looking at the outpost again, Hasrab led a whole group of men dressed up and rushed out of the warhorse, and galloped in the direction of the Dangerous Rock Fort. They will discover the tragedy in Baron Derik's fiefdom "in time" and report back to Grand Duke Vossam, and by the time the team goes to investigate, all traces of Sander's actions will be wiped out.
Everything is in Sander's plan.
A few days later, on the city square of Wasam, the press officer announced to the citizens in a heavy tone: Fort Danger Rock was bloodbathed by unknown evil forces, and no one from Baron Derrick to ordinary farmers survived. The royal family of Candras was so concerned about this that King Leorik personally issued an edict for the director of the Royal Archives, Scholar Liszt, to organize an investigation of the ruins of Fort Danger......
For Shande, the operation was a great success, and although the two demon hunters were killed and one was injured, the mission was successfully completed and the prize money was unusually generous. Esenhard also made a windfall as a result, but he knew very well that it was not so easy to get, and Sander's warnings were always ringing in his ears. Participating in this operation means that he, along with the entire Gladiator Alliance, has become a member of the royal family to some extent, and how to maneuver between the royal family and the local nobles of Wasam has become a difficult problem for him.
And Vossam Grand Duke Kimmel and his vassals were nothing less than a dumb loss. The wishful thinking that the royal family would be bewitched by the devil because of the dangerous rock castle not only failed, but also fell into a bad rescue for no reason, and it really had to knock out the front teeth and swallow it in the stomach. To make matters worse, after inspecting the old site of Dangerous Rock Fort, Liszt actually came from the royal capital Tristram with a large engineering team and built a palace for King Leorik there!
This is good, originally I just sealed a baron as an eyeliner, and this time the king of China came directly to the side of the grand duke's couch...... Although Kinmaier himself was angry, his sons became depressed every day, especially the most violent second son, Gunnag, Earl of Thermosciences, who was furious every day, and poured his anger on his men, which made them miserable.
Along with the palace, there was also a royal hunting ground. The ruins of the villages that had been cleaned by Shande in the area of the original Weiyan Fort were bulldozed one by one by the engineering team, planted with flowers and trees, and stocked a large number of rare birds and beasts for the royal relatives of the royal capital to hunt and play. As for the castle, just like Liszt's explanation to Sander: the superstructure was completely burned down and demolished, while the dungeon was preserved and taken over by the royal family, and after further repairs and expansions, it became the largest and most secret prison in the entire Candras Kingdom, which was later called the "Torture Prison"!
Zhang Long, who had just opened the third generation of Diablo games before traveling, was naturally no stranger to these place names, and they can be said to be the best symbol of King Leoric's brutal rule in the later period. But now, in the eyes of the people, the king is still a great sage, and it is only natural that he should build a large number of buildings. After knowing these things, Zhang Long only sighed that he knew the origin of some game elements, and was deeply proud that he was able to participate in the process of promoting history.
However, these are all later stories, his job is a gladiator after all, and he still has to go back to the training ground after completing the task. He and Hai Shan naturally had to keep their mouths shut about this kind of secret operation, and even Suina, but Erica seemed to have nothing to say to Rocky, and this beautiful Amazon puppet knew everything and was happy to discuss more details with Zhang Long.
"Liszt's behavior seems to be a little strange......" One night after training, Rocky stopped Zhang Long in the corridor, led him to his room, closed the door and whispered, "I can't figure out how a bachelor with little combat power can enter the dungeon through such a fierce battlefield without realizing it......
The analysis is correct, as an important profession of St. Hugh Yari, the "Bachelor" is a pure theoretician, who spends his life studying book knowledge, and does not know martial arts or magic. Liszt, if nothing special, is no exception. However, Zhang Long was already a little suspicious, the true identity of this scholar was probably much more terrifying than Carranso, but until he found obvious signs, he would never dare to mention half a word to anyone, not even Rocky!
"I think ...... too" Zhang Long scratched his head to hide his nervousness: "I didn't see him bring any retinue, could it be that he hid his true strength?"
"You don't know how much work it takes to become a maestro!" Rocky looked him in the eye and said seriously, "Just as mages need to be trained from an early age, so are maestro. They've been stuck in books for as long as they can remember, and they don't have time for anything else, so ...... Unless someone else assists, there must be something wrong with this scholar. Rocky paused, took a note from the desk by the window, handed it to Zhang Long, and said, "This is what Erika sent to me this morning, and specially told me to beware of Liszt under any circumstances! 」
Zhang Long took the note in shock, looked at the naughty and agile handwriting of the girl on it, and nodded with mixed feelings. After thanking him, he walked out of Rocky's room in a distraught, and as he went downstairs, he accidentally tripped over the steps, rolled down with a grunt, and knocked off the oil lamp on the wall with a "pop". The hot oil poured all over his arm, and the burning wick followed, and his arm was encased in flames.
"Ahh......h
Zhang Long was stunned for a long time, cold sweat was pouring down, he couldn't believe that everything in front of him was true. Nervously, he walked to the other oil lamp, stretched out his trembling hand, and tentatively rested on the flame......
It's so warm......
The flames burned straight into his palm, but there was no pain in the slightest. Zhang Long withdrew his hand and wiped off the oil charcoal from the lamp on his palm, and the skin and flesh were still only reddish and unharmed......
"Flame Enhancement ......" Zhang Long muttered to himself, "Could it be ...... Is it because of possession?"
"Smack!" he snapped his fingers tentatively again, and a small but brilliant spark burst out between his fingers, extinguishing in the blink of an eye.
"No......" Inexplicable fear arose, and he sat down on the ground until he was awakened by the footsteps of the patrolling guards, and then hurriedly got up and ran back to the dormitory. Looking at Fitsuma's deep sleeping appearance, she smiled helplessly with a heavy heart.
"Ugh...... It's a blessing to be able to concentrate on being a gladiator......
