Chapter 10: Clues (2)
Early the next morning, in front of the courtyard of the Istoni family.
The place that was destroyed by the demons last time has already been cleaned up, and a row of high walls has been rebuilt around it, which seems to be a little safer.
Two figures, one stout and one thin, were entangled and fighting. However, the two men were measured and did not destroy everything in the vicinity.
After a few moments, the two stopped fighting and stood to their side.
These two people are Sutum, the heir of the Disterny family, and the household servant Ba next to him.
"Master, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful, if it weren't for my lack of combat experience, I'm afraid I would have been defeated a long time ago. ”
Ba looked at Sutum, who was wiping his sweat, and praised respectfully, with surprise and admiration in his eyes. However, although he seemed to be honest, he was not stupid, and did not ask his master where his power came from.
Sutum tidied up his clothes, shook his head, and said, "You think highly of me, if I fight to the death, I will die faster." ”
Of course, he was just saying that with the terrifying recovery power of the demons, if he encountered an enemy of the same level, he could also consume the opponent to death. Not to mention that demons also have many untapped strange abilities. These abilities are about to be developed, and Sutum will be able to deal with at least a higher-level opponent.
After resting for a while, the traces of the battle on the two of them disappeared without a trace, and Sutum said, "Ba, let's go to the tavern in the city." ”
Before Ba could show a surprised expression, Sutum said again: "Don't think too much, let's go find someone, find someone nicknamed 'Wasteland Wolf' and named Deck." ”
"Okay, master. ”
Although Red Light City is a medium-sized city in the Barthez Heath, with a population of several thousand, there are only two taverns. One of the two taverns is located in the most prosperous area of the city center, and it is designed to serve the powerful people in the city, and the guests who come and go have a certain status in the Red Light City and even the surrounding cities, and ordinary people can enter. There is another one, on the other hand, which is located on the edge of the city, and as long as you have money, you can go and have a few drinks. The quality of service between the two pubs is naturally worlds apart.
As a "wilderness wolf", I can, but I can only go to the second home.
Sutum learned a lot of information from Danny, and the origin of this "wasteland wolf" is one of them.
"Wasteland Wolf" Derk was originally just a ruffian in Red Light City, but because of his fierce personality and viciousness, he recruited more than a dozen people and became a small leader. Soon after becoming a petty boss, Deck clashed with another gangster and was even kicked out of Redlight City and left to live outside the city.
Outside the city, it's fine during the day, but it's extremely terrifying at night, and the three monsters of the wilderness can easily destroy everything in people. Everyone who knew Deck thought that this guy would die outside the city, with no bones left. After a few days, Deck suddenly became extremely powerful and returned to the city. This time, he took out the original gangster leader, got everything from the other side, and earned the title of "Wolf of the Wasteland", as well as mastering some strange abilities. If it weren't for the fact that these abilities were not visible to him, and they didn't come from him, I'm afraid he would have gone to the city to find a way to get a prophet.
Deck himself is very powerful, coupled with strange abilities, and many subordinates, he uses these conditions to secretly collude with many big people in the city, and from time to time he will help those big people deal with some dark things, and live a good life, which is one of them.
After all, Anglo and Danny are of low status, and they don't know who those big names are. As for some of Derk's weird abilities, they only know part of it, and they don't know the details. These two men, along with the other minions, had accompanied Deck out of the city and seen the power of evil spirits, and their weapons were the harvest of that time. It was precisely because they knew the power of the evil spirit, so they secretly got one out without Deck's attention, hid it in the secret room, and went to study it at night, but unfortunately they were unlucky, ran into Sutum, and was beaten.
As for the mission, because the time has not come, they have not been told the content, and the two of them are not clear, let alone Sutum. What Sutum fed to Danny was not a poison, just an ordinary pill to replenish his bodily functions, but Sutum played a prank.
"I don't have any memories of this wilderness wolf, but why is there such a strong killing intent in my heart?"
Sutum thought that when he heard Danny say those messages, as long as he read the words "Deck", the killing and destruction in his heart could hardly be contained, which made him extremely uneasy, which made him can't wait to find this wild wolf.
The tavern on the edge of the Red Light City is called the "Savage Tavern". According to legend, there is a group of people who wander the wasteland all year round, mastering the skills of avoiding the three monsters of the wasteland and surviving in the wild. Of course, no one knows if the wild people exist, and the residents of Red Light City have basically never seen them anyway. Later, some people called people who haunted the wasteland during the day and made a living by collecting wild beasts, medicinal herbs, and crops in the wasteland. The tavern was originally opened for these people.
The "Savage Tavern" is a long way from the center of the city, but there are already horse-drawn carriages in the Red Light City, which can save a lot of time.
The horses of this era were tall and short-tempered, but their speed and strength were equally impressive, not even in intelligence and size, and they were not inferior to them.
Naturally, the speed is also extremely fast.
The road was bumpy, and when it was quiet, the two of them had reached the door of the "Savage Tavern".
The tavern was very lively, and there were a bunch of people coming in and out of the door almost all the time, all kinds of people. In the barbaric era, the entertainment that people could have was drinking, making people, and fighting. Among the people who enter and leave the tavern, the most are naturally drunk people who have drunk too much alcohol and make all kinds of strange behaviors.
Some of these drunks are quite powerful, although some of them are messing around, but no one dares to make trouble here, which makes Sutum amazed.
When the two of them entered the tavern, a strong and turbid smell mixed with the smell of wine, beasts, bad breath and other smells came to their nostrils, and at the same time, there was a messy and endless noisy sound, which made Sutum almost unable to hold on, and had an urge to flee from here. The heirs of the Istney family are all mansions, but they have never been to such a place, and it is enough to toss Sutum.
"Master, take care to control your five senses. ”
Ba was unaffected and whispered in Sutum's ear.
"I see, it's not a good thing to feel too spiritual. ”
Sutum thought to himself, feeling a lot better. He already had experience in controlling his five senses, so this time he naturally had his hands on it.
Once he was back to normal, he began to observe the environment inside the tavern. This place is not big, but there are quite a few people in it, roughly counting, about seventy or eighty people. Each of them is in pairs, boasting and scolding each other, and they are not talking.
There was no one in the tavern to entertain them, and if necessary, they went to the owner of the inn to pay for it. After Sutum and the two came in, it was inconspicuous, but one of them stood behind the counter, and the handsome young man who seemed to be in charge of the tavern nodded and smiled, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Look for it, that Delk is probably here at this time. ”
Sutum thought about Danny's description of the wolf, and carefully searched the hall, pretending to be a tavern customer, afraid of startling the snake.
After a few laps, nothing was gained, but he was patient and not discouraged. Half an hour later, there was still nothing, but two men looked at Sutum with obvious surprised expressions, which immediately attracted his attention.
He doesn't go out most of the time, and he only goes to a few places when he goes out, so few people should know Sutum. Looking at the outfits of these two people, it is impossible to know him - these two people are very problematic.
The two of them noticed Sutum's gaze, their faces changed drastically, they stopped drinking the wine, and left in a hurry. Sutum hurried after him.
However, the tavern was crowded and extremely crowded, and when Sutum chased him out, he could only see the backs of the two gradually disappearing. But he was not in a hurry, at this moment, he suddenly saw the figure of the "Wasteland Wolf" Deck, and the other party seemed to be informed by the two before and left in a hurry. He didn't know that in a short time, Sutum had memorized his taste.
"The hosts. ”
Ba also came out.
"Let's go, let's chase after it. ”
Sutum said, and was about to leave, when he heard a boy's cry, which was extremely harsh, but it felt very familiar to him......
The original owner's body memory and emotion, which had not changed for a long time, were stimulated by this cry, and they began to loosen.
Sutum's expression changed and he finally gave up chasing after Deck and rushed over to the boy's cry.
The place wasn't actually far away, just behind the tavern, unnoticed, but there was a crowd in a circle at this time.
Pushing aside the crowd, Sutum's eyes were red when he saw the situation inside, and the terrifying killing intent that erupted made the people next to him palpitate and avoid in a panic.
At this time, three tall and strong men were wantonly beating a boy, and the magnitude of their actions and the cruelty of their methods were simply outrageous.
The boy was only ** years old, skinny, with a dirty face, and his clothes were even more tattered. At this time, he was kicked and beaten by several strong men, and almost lost half his life. The boy coughed incessantly, and streams of scarlet blood were spurted out and sprinkled all over the ground, looking horrible and miserable.
"Hey, you demon cub, there is a demon in the house, maybe one day you will become a monster and kill us. It's better to be dead. ”
A strong man's eyes showed a cruel and violent light, and he said proudly, and then glanced around, and those who originally couldn't bear it in their hearts and wanted to dissuade them were suddenly awe-inspiring and didn't dare to make any more moves. The other two brawny men laughed in agreement, and then trampled the boy down whenever they saw him struggling to get up. He even wanted to torture him to death.
"Stop!"
Sutum clenched his fists, resisting the urge to kill these beasts, and roared in a low voice.
"Hey, boy, there's no place for you to talk here. ”
When the strong man saw someone challenging him, his expression was pale, and he saw that Sutum had an extraordinary temperament and was beautifully dressed, so he didn't dare to do it. With a roll of his eyes, he kicked the boy violently, and if he did, the boy would not be spared.
"Boom!"
Ba shot. The strong man's legs stretched out, and he was kicked away by Ba in the same way, covering his thighs and howling miserably.
The other two strong men wanted to make a move, but they were easily trampled under their feet, struggling desperately and unable to move.
Sutum shuddered and picked the boy up, and a strong sadness rose in his heart. The memories and emotions in his body are like a tide, hitting his brain again and again, but unfortunately it seems that there are some key points missing, and he can't burst out.
The boy was still a little sane, and he felt Sutum and struggled to open his eyes. Looking at his movements, the boy's pale blue eyes, which were originally a little dim, suddenly shone brightly, and he said in surprise: "...... My lord, is that you, coming to see us......"
Before he finished speaking, there was no sound. Sutum was inexplicably sad and hurriedly checked:
"It's okay, just fainted. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Stimulated by this, Sutum's demonic power increased a little more, and in a vague way, he sensed a brilliant and vast light in the tavern that flashed away, as brilliant as the sun. In addition to perceiving the light, Sutum also felt that someone was watching in the dark, which made him unspeakably uncomfortable.
A few strong men over there were trampled on the ground and shouted frantically: "...... Boy, our boss is a wolf, and if you dare to do this to us, you will definitely regret it. ”
"Ba. ”
Sutum called out expressionlessly.
Papapa
"Ba, take them with you, let's get out of here. ”
"If these brutes spit out dirty words and knock out their teeth, if they dare to run, they will break their dogs' legs. ”
