After that, the convoy resumed its original seating and headed for its destination. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info And when the signpost of Kingfisher Manor appeared in front of them, everyone's hearts hung in their throats again-the group of men and horses that everyone had met before did not lie, the huge manor had become a military camp, and from a distance they saw that the fence was made of stones, and a sentry peeked out of the thick wooden door.
"What a hell of a life. ”
Eight Fingers beckoned the convoy to stop on the avenue, and then went to bang on the door. After a while, a guy dressed as an orderly opened the door and greeted him. The man and Eight Fingers tapped each other on the shoulder, then waved to the convoy.
Echo saw that the carriage in front of her was already galloping towards the manor, and was driving closely behind, when she suddenly heard Eliot murmuring indiscriminately, "Damn, it's cold, it's freezing me......
I saw that the veteran lowered his head, his body shook like a sieve, and he was wearing a cloak next to his seat.
Icko's bewildered look at this made him nudge Elliot, and as soon as he pointed at the cloak, he frowned. There was an indescribable smell from Kingfisher Manor, mixed with the smell of blood, medicine, and stew, which made him extremely uneasy. He remembered that he had felt so creepy when he was an assassin under the command of the Quenching Dagger, escorting the high-ranking mages of the guild to the city of Wood Law, who would have thought that the mage would manipulate the dead and turn them into corpse monsters.
In the blink of an eye, the motorcade had entered the manor, and the heavy wooden door, which had only been opened for a moment, closed behind it. Ecco watched around in a hurry, and saw that the manor had been set up one military tent after another, and the nurseries that had been used to nurture flowers and trees had been trampled to a disfigured shape, and a few saplings that had not been able to hold their hands were pulling clotheslines, and the trees that had grown were sadly cut down into stakes.
In the distance, the door of the three-storey manor mansion was closed at the moment, and even the curtains were drawn. One can imagine how much trouble the arrival of the army brought to the owner of the manor. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about this place. Or is it that all the anomalies are hidden?
At the front of the convoy, Eight Fingers was comparing the experience of the past few days with the orderly who led the way, and the two men had just paused and signaled the carriage to stop at a shed, when they saw someone suddenly jump out of the tent not far away. The man was wearing only military trousers, his bony upper body was covered with dirt, and he screamed "god remains" and was dragged away by the two soldiers who chased after him. Icko stared in a daze at the direction in which the three men had disappeared, only to hear Eight Fingers say to the orderly, "What's the matter? What did he say?"
"Crazy. Don't worry about that, are you okay?"
"Let Kunderhad put a hundred hearts, and what he has confessed, as long as my bones don't fall apart, will definitely be able to bring it. As he spoke, Eight Fingers gestured to the worker who had just gotten off the car, and then took the wooden box handed by one person and opened it in front of the orderly.
"The purest wine, you inspect the goods a priori, but beware of the fireworks, as soon as the lid is opened, it will be stained with sparks!"
"Do you still need to test your things?" the orderly took the box with a smile, and sighed again: "Just wait for your batch of things to be used as disinfectants, you don't know how crazy the people here are, everything with a little smell of alcohol, a piece of soap, gauze can be stolen and stuffed into the mouth." ”
"So exaggerated?"
"Several people have died. To put it bluntly, the battle is not good...... Otherwise, they wouldn't have retreated to camp here. ”
The orderly's words seemed to poke at the sore spot of the eight fingers, and the old man sighed and looked at the convoy, his eyes swept over the faces, and finally stopped at Eko.
"By the way, I want to trouble you to introduce individuals to the lieutenant colonel. Eightfinger tilted his head to the orderly, then patted Eko on the shoulder and led him between the two.
"Let me introduce you, this is Zult Card, Khand's lieutenant and his nephew. Eight Fingers whispered the second half of the sentence in Ekko's ear.
"This is the one sent by Ekor Peleris, Astut Richardman. ”
"The landlord?" the orderly looked Ekor up and down in surprise, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Elf?"
"This friend is from Elada. Actually, I also have a hitchhiker on this trip, but he is in very bad health these days, and I will introduce him later. ”
"Oh!" Dalter held the wooden box and reluctantly stretched out his hand at Ekko, "I'm glad I will, but what am I going to introduce you to the lieutenant colonel?"
Eko shook his hand, then rolled up his sleeves and flashed the white sparrow embroidered on the lining, "We heard a rumor about the Key of the Gods, and we ......"
"Shhhh......h
Seeing that Zult was so sensitive to the "God's Key", Ikor couldn't help but glance in the direction where Rirrich was, "I see. He smiled at Zhuoerte: "I just don't know what the lieutenant colonel's attitude is towards this matter, if no one on the army side is willing to disclose the news, according to the regulations of our industry, we can't pry open other people's mouths." ”
"That's right...... In fact, according to me, this matter cannot be covered in the barracks at all, but I can't speak, and my knowledge is really limited, anyway, I will take you to meet with the lieutenant colonel first. ”
With that, Drow patted Eight Fingers on the shoulder, told him to let the workers unload the goods in the shed, and then made a gesture to Eko to follow. The two quickly crossed a row of fences, and for the rest of the trip, Dult was suddenly silent. He didn't squint, just walked vigorously towards the main house of the manor.
Ekor couldn't help but feel a little numb when he saw that the soldiers he met along the way were all sickly, and many of them were holding cards and playing "Seven Mirrors" while shouting at them—the people here reminded him of the Assassins who had nothing to do in the underground fortress, bored and desperate. He was in a trance for a moment, and Dalter suddenly turned around, and stepped into the gloomy path next to the main house, only to see another courtyard on the right hand side of the road, surrounded by a high fence, and a thick smell of blood and heart-palpitating sorrow came out of it.
