A bright moon shone through the clouds as thin as a veil and then as a trickle, reflecting the path that winds through the forest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Such a peaceful picture is shattered by the sudden intrusion of the two horsemen.

Eko was seen following the lead closely on horseback, his cloak almost level with the ground. The guide who ran ahead of Eko had been hurrying except for the occasional glance back at him, and the man with a frowning brow and an anxious look on his face was Alex mentioned by Misha, the connector of the homonym in Dstaing.

Alex's appearance was "sudden" for Ekko, who had already gone to bed and was awakened by a sharp knock on the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the man standing next to Misha, who was dressed in a nightdress and holding a lantern, and the first thing the man said to him was "Are you the unveiler?"

Now, they've been riding fast for nearly an hour, and Alex hasn't revealed much more than the fact that the "intelligence source" he briefly mentions in the city that the killer is being tracked. Questioning, Echo could only steer the horses and speculate on where the news was coming from, how urgent might the situation be, and what did an unveiler need to do? In fact, Echo wanted to know where Alex wanted to take him?

As a fork in the road came into Ica's field of vision, Alex, who had been leading the way, finally slowed down, and when he reached the fork in the road, he simply turned over and dismounted, and then raised his lantern to look around.

"This time the news comes from the Quenching Dagger. Alex suddenly looked back and explained.

This sentence made Ekor frown, not that he was surprised that the Quenching Dagger was involved in the case, but that he faintly heard from Alex's words that the White Sparrow actually had something to do with the Quenching Dagger.

Admittedly, homophony is not a guild in the traditional sense, they are loosely organized and members come from all walks of life, but most of the white sparrows are practitioners who make a living by acting or writing storytelling. Ekor wished that Alex's source of information was not some white sparrow who was an assassin, as he could hardly believe that an outlaw could bring the pure truth to the public.

I only heard Alex continue: "I'll tell you directly, our people are involved in the internal affairs of the Quenching Dagger, and the murderer is one of the upper mages of the Quenching Dagger. ”

Ekor rubbed his forehead, and now it seemed that his two guesses were at least half verified by Alex's words, which reminded him of a word that Rose had mentioned—nosy. Ekor was tempted to immediately ask whether the White Sparrow was investigating the unsolved case of De Staing, as Alex had stated in his letter, or the internal affairs of the Assassin Guild, but it was clearly not the time to delve into these issues.

"That person is dangerous right now, isn't he?" Ekor asked.

"He was supposed to return a few hours ago, but until now I haven't seen him. But the good thing is that I know he'll leave this mark along the way. ”

With that, Alex held up his lantern and gestured to Ekor with a mark carved into the trunk of an ash tree.

The symbol was as simple as two intersecting diagonal lines, but Eko could tell at a glance that the two lines of different lengths coincided with the homophonic symbol of the flute and the sparrow.

"He's a white sparrow who makes an assassin out there?"

"His name is Kyle, and he's the best member of us and my brother. ”

Alex's eyes lit up with a look of pleading.

"I know you think this is very inappropriate, but please understand our difficulties, the power of the Quenching Dagger here is growing day by day, and it has even affected many government officials......

"Sorry, I asked an inappropriate question. ”

Ekor sighed and said, "Let's talk about this later." Do you need me to use my power to find out Kyle's whereabouts?"

"Yes. ”

Alex breathed a sigh of relief, and he went on to explain, "Kyle is among the Assassins, and his chances of leaving a mark are limited, and I'm afraid that if we don't find him soon, it'll be too late. ”

Icco looked at Alex deeply, and then suddenly closed his eyes, he subconsciously clenched his left fist against his heart, trying to cut off the interference of the outside world on his consciousness, only to feel the marks he saw before, when he opened his eyes again, he saw that the whole world seemed to be immersed in a quiet blue sea, and the scenery as far as the eye could see seemed to be as transparent as nothing, only the marks he saw before were shining brightly.

Soon, Eko found the same mark, followed by a second, then a third...... They gradually connected a path like a road sign, but just as Ekor was about to stretch the tentacles of consciousness to the last sign, everything in front of him suddenly returned to normal, which made him sigh in his heart.

The Nexus has put a lot of effort into cultivating a new unveiler, but its own abilities have always been that way. Perhaps in his lifetime, he will not be able to create a legend like the first unveiler of the Northern Aifen Clan. However, this information was enough for them to find Kyle's trace.

With her legs between her legs, Ekor leaped in front of Alex to complete the transition between a guide and a follower. He relied on the signs he had previously discovered through his abilities to lead Alex off the fork in the road and into an inconspicuous forest path, and after a quick walk through the woods, Eko finally left his horse and began to walk cautiously.

"The last mark is nearby. He said to Alex.

"It's unusually quiet here......" Alex said with hesitation.

In fact, not only was the place where they were quiet, but there was also a faint smell of blood in the wind, but Ekor just didn't see a living thing that could move, he paused slightly, and then walked slowly in the direction where the wind was blowing.

Not long after, Alex, who was following Ekko, also smelled blood. He nervously shook the lantern and shone around, and crashed into Eko's body without paying attention.

Before Alex could apologize, he saw Ekor suddenly bend down and vomit.

"Front...... It's all corpses......"

Ekor said with some difficulty. He didn't expect that in a hidden wood, there would be such a scene that he had never imagined. This scene is a feast of flesh and blood in hell!

I saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground not far away. Creepily, most of the corpses were badly deformed, their bodies twisted strangely, and hypertrophic bone spurs and flesh pierced through their clothes, a hundred times more hideous than the one Eko had seen in the morgue.

Echo watched Alex walk forward with his lantern in his hand until he reached the middle of several blood-splattered carriages before covering his mouth, which made him envious of the human eye, for even if he stood still, he could see a "long staff" standing there.

It wasn't a staff, of course, but a corpse with all the flesh and blood on its upper body. It seemed to be screaming in the sky, and the strip of cloth hanging from its body seemed to come from a robe.

Alex looked at the corpse in amazement, then went crazy and searched around. Eko couldn't imagine how hard Kyle would have been if he had become recognizable only by his clothes. Luckily, Kyle is still alive, but it's time to die. Kyle's abdomen is pierced by what can barely be called a hand, and Alex wants to hug his brother, but he doesn't dare touch him at all.

Upon seeing Alex, Kyle used up his last bit of strength to point in a direction.

"That elf is still alive......"

Kyle swallowed, and Alex fell to his knees as if he had collapsed, and he became very quiet for a moment, like a soul out of its shell. I only heard Alex mutter, "It's all over." ”

"No, how can this be called an end? without thoroughly finding out the cause, who can guarantee that the next White Sparrow will be in the same situation as Kai Er. Ekor frowned.

"You're right. But can you let me spend a little more time with Kai Er?"

Ekor sighed.

"Take care of yourself, I'll look elsewhere. ”

With that, Eko searched alone in the direction that Kael had finally pointed. He struggled to flip through several corpses, only to see something strange when he glanced up by chance. There was a place where the corpse was surrounded like a ring by an ash tree, and under this ash tree, Eko found a living elf.

The elf's body was covered in blood, and his head hung limply over his shoulder, while his left hand instinctively pressed against the wound on his waist that was still oozing blood, as if he was trying to live. A gut told Eko that the elf was the same person he had encountered near the Sheriff's Office.

Without saying a word, Echo urgently bandaged the elf's wound, and then he carried the elf on horseback, unfastened the long cloak behind him as a rope, and held the elf firmly behind his back. With all that done, Ekor glanced back at Alex again. He was silently piling dirt on Kai's body. Ekor shook her head, then turned her horse's head and ran in the direction of the town.
