Chapter 2: The Demon Hunter

The night is dark, and the sound of killing in the distance has stopped, and today's siege battle should have reached a stage.

Throwing Lancelot into the water tank, soaking wet, Eling had already changed her clothes again, but the night breeze was blowing, feeling cold, Lancelot draped his coat over her, pulled a chair, and listened to her all the time.

And now, having heard what should have been said, Lancelot raised his eyebrows and muttered, "I see, that's what happened......"

Yawning, Lancelot paced to the door, pulled it open, and said, "I'm so hungry, didn't you knock over your lunch for dinner?

It's a very good story, but because both of them are shy in their pockets, the so-called "eating good ingredients" can only buy two bowls of clear soup noodles in a small shop, and because the seats in the store are full, the two have to squat on the side of the road to eat noodles.

"It's not a good idea, but the soup is very good, and it's not bad!" Ranslow smiled, swallowing the noodles in his mouth, "After listening to the story, it's best to drink a little wine and eat some side dishes." ”

"It's so rude, I'm not telling a story!"

Ailing pouted, slowly eating the hot noodle soup, without anger in her heart, but secretly peeping at the man next to her from time to time.

When she recounted her experience, there were many conjectures about his reaction after listening to it, would she be angry, would she just walk away, or would she ...... Will you sympathize with your own plight and feel sad together?

Although he was a little confused by his inertia, he should not be a bad person! I heard him say earlier that he was a guard in the ivory white tower, and now that he knows that he is the one who provided the weapons designed for the daytime, he should not be arrested as a spy? In that case, he will be imprisoned for the second time.

Guessing how he might react, the girl was uneasy in her heart, and she couldn't eat much noodles, so she looked straight to the side.

Sensing Ailing's uneasy gaze, Lancelot drank the noodle soup in one gulp and began to speak.

"Although there are still some things that I don't understand very well, but I have already understood, in a word, you are the one who is wrong in the whole thing!"

β€œ...... Is it me? Sure enough, ......."

This sentence was expected, Ailing lowered her head gloomily, Mr. Da Lang, like everyone else, thought that she should not hide her appearance and enter the research institute, but she really didn't mean to deceive anyone!

"I'm not saying you're not doing the right thing, I'm saying you're naΓ―ve. ”

Lancelot snorted, "What are you expecting? Hopefully those researchers will one day apologize to you, saying that they shouldn't be racist against you, that they should value your talents and make you a part of them?

"But...... "I believe that racism is a bad thing, and many books say that racism is wrong, and I don't ask for privileges, just give me a fair chance to compete, is that too much?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that you're naΓ―ve. Lancelot laughed, "Lions are meant to eat meat, and tigers have never been herbivores." Racism has long been part of the blood of the Reins people, and you want them not to discriminate against you, it's like asking a hungry tiger not to eat you and gnaw on the grass next to you, there is nothing wrong with it, but your innocent stupid woman will be eaten by the tiger in one bite. ”

"But that's obviously not right......"

"Right and what? What if it's not right? Right or wrong never matters, even if you argue, can you change something?" Lancelot said: "The key to changing things is not in eloquence, but in your strength, if you really have the ability, show it well, and make those who look down on you look good." Since you can't be a part of them, you can just become their head and trample all these bastards on the soles of your feet, so that's what a pleasure!"

The fierce words, as if in the long-closed train of thought, played a new side, Ailing was fascinated, for a long time, bowed his head and sighed: "Mr. Da Lang, you are really strong, but I ......"

It's not that she hasn't worked hard, it's just that it's been two years, and all the efforts have not worked, and now she really feels disheartened, if she doesn't look at the world at the moment and has nowhere to go, she really wants to give up the useless persistence here and go elsewhere to rest and travel.

In the past, I helped Bai Xing design weapons, and some of them also wanted to try their skills and satisfy the sense of accomplishment that had been neglected for a long time, but when I saw those weapons actually used in battle formations, I felt uncomfortable, and as a result, my heart became more and more tired, and now I don't know why I want to stick to it...... "Have you given up the dream you had when you first arrived at Jixia?" Lancelot said, "Even if you never touch the Ancient Demon Dao again in this life, is it okay?"

β€œ...... I still want to go down, but ......" glanced at the people around him, Ailing lowered his head and said: "Mr. Dalang, not everyone can be as strong as you......"

"I'm not that strong! People are very fragile for a while, but if a lot of people are together and cheer each other on, then they will become very strong. ”

Landing on the shoulder, Lancelot smiled, "How about it? Do you want to do it together? Even if it's just the two of us, we might be able to surprise those bastards in the institute!"

Confused, Ailing couldn't answer for a while, but patted Lancelot on the shoulder, looked up, and looked at the smiling face, and an indescribable sense of familiarity rose in his heart.

He doesn't look like him at all, but I don't know why, this man feels a little like Huang Taiji's grandfather, who has always encouraged himself, given himself courage, and given him the motivation to continue to move forward.

Is it really like he said, people who have peer support are the strongest in their hearts, then maybe they are the ones who need peer support and know how to go on!

"I ...... I don't know what to do anymore, I feel so tired, even if I can enter the graduate school, I don't know why I should continue. ”

Secretly glanced at the people around him, hurriedly lowered his head, and Ailing said timidly: "But if Mr. Da Lang wants me to continue, then I ...... I'll try again!I'll stop communicating with Bai Xing, and I won't help him design weapons in the future, as for the ones that were given to him before, the lethality is only medium, and I can also design a mechanism for restraint, it should be ......"

"You don't have to help him design weapons, then this play won't be able to sing. ”

Pressing one hand on Ailing's shoulder, Lancelot said, "I want you to continue to help Bai Xing, and give him your most powerful and lethal weapons." ”

"Huh?"

"Trust me, little girl. ”

With an unfathomable smile, Lancelot said in a low voice: "From now on, the two of us should join forces to usurp the Bai family's Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute, and within three months, I want you to become the director of the research institute, and trample on the soles of your feet one by one to eat yellow mud!"

It was an eventful night, the fighting outside the city had finally stopped, and people were ready to go to bed, but there were still some special people who came out at night, and they chose to be busy at this moment.

The New Year is still a few days away, and for the people in Jixia City, this New Year's taste is really very special, and spending the New Year in the situation of a large army besieging the city and the rumbling war is something they could not have imagined at this time last year.

The recent Jixia City is really very unstable, internal and external troubles are frequent, and the external troubles refer to the army outside the city; and the internal worries are an unconfirmed gossip, it is said that Liu Yidao, the "first lewd thief" who was forced to leave the other side a while ago because the wind was too tight, has sneaked back to Jixia and intends to show his skills.

When the news came out, some people secretly rejoiced, and some people became angry, but it is always men who are (missing) who are crazy, and women who secretly rejoice, which is difficult to explain.

In short, in order to strictly prevent prostitution and thieves, the nobles and famous families in the city have strengthened their vigilance, hoping that the long-term insult will snow this so-called prostitute who has no flowers and no flowers, and will never worry about the cuckold.

Famous nobles may not all be strong in martial arts, and naturally there are many bodyguards and the like to guard the courtyard, and they are responsible for guarding the house, however, in the eyes of those who have a heart, their so-called impregnable defense is actually full of loopholes.

Just like at this moment, there are two black shadows on the roof of the mansion of Bai Dezhao, the elder of the Reyns court, and they are moving towards the inner courtyard quickly and secretly, and their movements are so dexterous that the guards who are guarding below can't detect it at all, and let these two uninvited guests drive in.

The inner courtyard is the residence of the female dependents, and the guards are naturally more tight, and before the two of them arrive at the inner courtyard, they first lie down in the hidden place of the roof tiles to confirm the current situation.

"Cat, are you really sure there's no problem?"

"Don't worry! Ah dog, I know all the patrol routes and guard assignments in this house, and even how many females there are in the dogs, I have found out all about them, and they are absolutely foolproof. ”

Masked in a black cloth and speaking in a low voice, it was a man who was known as "Ah Mao" who was wandering in the hotel street on a flat surface, and he and his new friend "Ah Dog", after working together for many days, chose the most challenging place tonight, and prepared to commit the crime.

There are a lot of beautiful women in Bai Dezhao's family, especially the great-granddaughter Bai Peony, who is a very famous Peugeot girl, and there are many suitors. "But we can't be too careless, because these guards are just a faΓ§ade, and the real power is the surrounding organs. Don't look at this courtyard is ordinary, empty, in fact, there is an ancient magic path mechanism hidden, you look at that corner, it seems to be very safe, but half a year ago I was lying there peeping at the white peony bathing, and before I saw anything, I triggered an electric shock, which electrocuted me, and chased and killed more than a dozen streets, it was really dangerous!"

"I understand. Three hundred years ago, I also lay down there, but at that time, they used the enchantment of the Demon Guild, and I also didn't have time to see anything, so I triggered the enchantment, and chased people for more than a dozen streets, what a shame!"

"What! You peeked at the white peony here three hundred years ago?"

"Oh, that's not it, I was looking at the white peony mother, alas...... It's like an arrow, and the past is unbearable!"

The two talked for a while, and what they said was not only unbearable to look back on, but it was simply obscene to listen to the morality-minded people, but if the black cloth on their faces was removed and the identities of these two people were exposed in such a situation, it would definitely be a political scandal that surpassed the declaration of Yaming.

"Cat, since there are so many mechanisms, what should we do?"

"Of course it won't be going home to sleep! ”

As he spoke, he took out a strange-looking mechanism from his bosom and put it on his head.

"This thing was originally called night vision goggles, I ordered the research institute to secretly improve and strengthen the function, now not only can see the night like a white painting, but also has a magnifying function, even the veins of a leaf within fifteen zhang can be seen clearly, and it can be used to peep...... Hey, hey, even those black ......."

"It's amazing!? Good things shouldn't be enjoyed alone, so it's cool to borrow them. ”

"Don't be embarrassed! Your Dongfang family has been sending spies to the research institute to spy on secrets a while ago, if you have such ability, you can make a group of them yourself!"

"Good boy, turn over the old accounts, don't think that only machinery is the only way out, the old man has been practicing hard for many years, and he has already had a solution, let you see it now, use the power of heaven to cooperate with the power of my Dongfang family!"

At the same time as he spoke, the power of the heavenly position had already been gathered, and the cat on the side also stopped moving, looking at this comrade-in-arms in surprise, wondering what amazing skills he would show?

"Comrade-in-arms, you are not bad luck to see the old man perform this magic skill for the first time. With the power of the heavens, not to mention only fifteen zhang, within a hundred zhang, not even a single hair wants to escape from the old man's sight. ”

"Is it so strong? Is it your family's Six Yang Venerable Technique?"

"Wrong, it's the seventh trick of the six yangs created by the old man, the fiery eyes are golden and clear!"

As soon as the words fell, this powerful trick had already played an effect at the same time, whether it was really as the creator said, he looked at all directions, and it was unknown for a while, only that his eyes suddenly burst into a strong light, like the brightness of thousands of lights ignited at the same time, which suddenly made them lie down brightly, revealing where they were hiding.

"you, you don't have to turn yourself in, do you! Your eyes are artificial suns?

"Why is it so bright? Shouldn't I focus all my true qi on my eyes? Miscalculated, hey, comrade-in-arms, it's not good to be out of the division, hurry up and flash people, let's take a peek tomorrow." ”

"It doesn't matter how you peep, please take me to run with me, I just took a picture from you, and I can't open my eyes at all......"

"No problem, the old man has the power of heaven, and the two of us will definitely be able to ......"

"Don't be a celestial power, this time I was killed by your damn celestial eye!"

"Is this time to open the slip again?"

"Whatever! ”

The two of them were still arguing with each other, trying to escape before the guards came from all directions, but suddenly heard the noise of people, the sound of a large number of people moving, and the sound of masonry crushing and exploding, and they were approaching this side, and the two were stunned, how could they be surrounded so quickly?

The answer soon appeared, and with a loud bang, the archway that entered the inner courtyard was blown to pieces, and many of the nursing homes stumbled and fell to the ground, apparently all suffering internal injuries.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, the culprits of these devastation slowly appeared.

A black suit, with a black pullover and a mask, completely conceals his identity, but his entire arm is densely wrapped in bandages, which makes people think of it.

"Listen, Uncle Ben...... This demon hunter is here just to seek money, don't talk any nonsense, the man and the woman lie on the wall, take out all the gold coins, don't force me to discharge, let you look good!"

It could not be clearer that this man had come to rob, and because of the terrifying miraculous skills he had shown, the intimidated party naturally had no choice but to do so.

However, before accepting the ransom, the robber glanced slightly surprised at the roof of the east head, and exchanged stunned glances with the two who were busy hiding.

"It's ridiculous, to let the enemy come and go freely, and rob the city!

The news of the robbery at the home of Bai Dezhao, the chief elder of the palace faction, spread all over Jixia in an instant, and even made the headlines of the next morning...... The clue points directly to the gold medal guard next to Bai Xing, the "Demon Hunter".

Bai Dezhao originally received a secret order from the head of the house last night, asking him to wait in the Jixia School Palace, and there was something important to discuss, so he went out to wait, but he didn't expect that the night had passed, and the person who sent the invitation never showed up, and the old man who knew that he had been transferred to the tiger and left the mountain went home, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

This anger is not trivial, and he immediately joined several palace elders to enter the palace together, hoping that the person in charge would give an explanation.

The response of the palace was that Prince Lancelot had not returned overnight, and had just come back to sleep, so he should not be disturbed, and the reception and investigation work was represented by the chief of staff, Cang Yuecao.

This is in line with the expectations of several elders. After negotiating with Lancelot's side, they have fully understood that maybe Lancelot is the one who can really call the shots in this group, but the one who has the ability to help them must be the chief staff Cangyuecao, who claims to be just a maid.

Regarding the fact that the robber is Hate, several elders frequently said yes, but they were angry on the surface, but they were not completely convinced. As long as you have a little intelligence, everyone can see that last night's robbery is full of suspicions, but now that the two armies are facing each other, since Lancelot's side wants to settle this account on the enemy's head, it is naturally difficult for them to say anything.

Moreover, soon Lancelot revealed that the reason why Queen Leah died at the hands of Amakusa Shiro that day, and that Hant could not escape before the battle, and even lived up to the queen's kindness of saving him with holy power, and he didn't know what the actual situation was, but after these words were spread, the people under the command were all angry with Hante, and regarded him as an enemy of Reins, and wanted to cut him off immediately.

If the people's anger is like this, the clear-sighted people who can see that the situation is not simple have no choice but to remain silent and not say what they should not say.

In the whole robbery, there were no casualties, the robber was not heavy, and he treated the maid very politely, without the slightest insult, although some people reported that there were two other flower picking thieves at that time, but the speed of escape was so fast that everyone couldn't catch up.

There will be flower thieves appearing, Bai Dezhao is not surprised, knowing that he was deliberately transferred away from the air last night, what is the other party's intentions, he can think of it with his thighs, in addition to lamenting such an unworthy junior, (missing) is the head of his own family, the old man is a little puzzled, the head of the house who has been alone in the past, with whom is the sacred.

In order to assist in the investigation and confirm the loss, Xiaocao had to go to the ninth uncle's house to investigate in person. Although nominally, she was only a small staff member and was not qualified to make any decisions, all the court elders had a strange feeling towards her, and they always felt that they could not raise their heads in front of her, and were willing to respect all the judgments she made.

After investigating the devastated crime scene, Xiaocao roughly grasped the outline of the whole thing, and after asking a group of witnesses, he already had a bottom in his heart.

It is impossible for Han Te to come here to commit a crime, not to mention that the magic guide troops who assisted the city defense last night did not find any masters entering Jixia. Such a clumsy plan is not so much to blame as to simply vent anger and find a reason to excuse it.

Fortunately, it was on Hante's head, if my husband directly reported the name of "Liu Yidao" at that time, it would be difficult to deal with the matter!

My husband doesn't know what he's been busy with lately, so if he needs money so much, why don't he just say it? Using this method to make money will not be a crime of being a robber in the past, and not committing crimes for a while, and committing an occupational disease, right?

Shaking her head and sighing, Xiaocao glanced at the roof of the east head, where the two lewd thieves were found.

"Lord Gong Wu Shangshu, I have to say that you are really very honored......

After saying this to Uncle Jiu without a head, Xiaocao felt a slight feeling in his heart. It is indeed not an honor for everyone to have the two heads of the seven major sects who can join hands to steal incense and jade in the mansion with their masks!

Lancelot, who declared that he was extremely tired and was about to sleep in the ivory white tower, did not do what he said, but immediately ordered Ni'er, who was running errands in the school palace, after confirming that his wife had left the palace.

Last night, I was busy, pretending to be a thief and robbing, and I got about 1,000 gold coins, all of which were handed over to Xiao Ailing as the funds for purchasing materials, and I was ready to implement the plan, but before that, I had to transfer a few guys who were in the way first...... Niel almost rushed back into the palace as fast as she could, she was dissatisfied with her brother's recent mysterious movements, and wanted to talk to her brother (missing), but this time before she could speak, Lancelot dropped an order.

"The third child of our family kept sending messages, saying that the enemy army was strong, and he couldn't hold it alone, and asked us to send reinforcements, I just decided to send you as the commander of the reinforcements, rush to the north gate Tianguan to help, and set off within three days. ”

This command made Niel unable to understand for a while, and it was only after a long ring that she understood the meaning, and then she lost her temper very normally.

"You're crazy! Transfer me away at such a time, then who will defend the city?"

"Defending the city can be done without you, the group of miscellaneous people outside the city has no strength to threaten me, the battle line on the side of the North Gate Tianguan is more important, if you don't go (missing) I see that the third child will write an urgent letter every day until his hand is broken. ”

This is not outrageous, when Gengoro officially reported the news of the occupation of the North Gate Tianguan in a formal written report, he also submitted an application for urgent help, although it is said that the occupation of the North Gate Tianguan will face the enemy's recapture attack, this is inevitable common sense, but now the enemy has not even a shadow, the urgent letter has flown like snowflakes, and the sense of distress is strong, and it is really appalling.

It's just that everyone understands the true meaning of these urgent letters. How could reinforcements be sent out when the entire city was surrounded?

With the help of his wife, Lancelot asked Gengoro through the water mirror how many reinforcements he needed, and the other party's answer was very direct.

"It's okay as much as you want, the important thing is that Miss Nill will command the troops, and with a good commander, you can make up for the lack of numbers. ”

This passage has two meanings, one is that, as Gengoro said, the army under the command of an excellent general can indeed exert combat power beyond its own strength, and the other is that it doesn't matter if there are no reinforcements, just send Niel over quickly.

Before Lancelot could reply, a large rock that had been used as a rockery was thrown into the pool by Niel, forcibly interrupting communication.

Gengoro probably didn't expect Ni'er to really come, because in the Jixia City in front of him, Nier's existence is not absolutely necessary, but it is an important insurance factor, and it is indeed inconvenient to be without her, and the reason why these senseless emergencies are issued is mainly to make Yiren aware of his existence, and don't leave people behind because of the separation between the two places. But now Lancelot has decided to send reinforcements very righteously, so that this righteous brother who worries all day can get what he wants, and he will no longer worry.

"Those guys out there aren't enough to threaten me, and I can settle that coward Hant alone, so you don't have to. ”

Lancelot said: "The pressure is heavier in the third place, so it's right to transfer you over." ”

Maybe this is true, but when she heard her brother say, "You don't have to," the girl's heart was hurt for a while, and she said, "That woman...... Does my sister-in-law know about this?"

It's not that someone is suspected of conspiring to frame him, because compared to her brother's non-carding, Xiaocao's sister-in-law is more common-sense, Nier doesn't believe that she will agree with her brother's order, and at this time she transferred herself out of Jixia, and from Nier's will use Xiaocao as a shield for disobedience, it can be seen how much she doesn't want to leave.

"Why do you bother to ask this? I was the one who gave the order, when did you care about her meeting?"

Lancelot said: "There is only one question, do you want to do your duty and be ordered to come to the aid of the North Gate Tianguan, or do you continue to play tricks here just because you are my sister?"

Lancelot's words went straight to the heart of the matter, Nil did not currently have an official title, and she had no official title in Reins, but was only given the title of knight, and carried out various official duties as a royal bodyguard, and in terms of form, when Lancelot gave her orders in a commanding tone, she had no room for defense.

Of course, Niel could ignore these orders and just treat them as if she didn't hear them, but as her brother said, it was like a spoiled child who disobeyed in front of adults...... Nile doesn't like to be looked at like that.

The brother and sister looked at each other wordlessly for a while, and finally Nier softened her shoulders like a deflated ball, and whispered, "Got it, I'll go, if you really hope so, brother......"

Patting his sister on the shoulder, signaling approval, Lancelo Wenyan comforted a few words, in his heart, he actually hoped that there would be this opportunity for Niel to hone outside, otherwise, he would rely too much on Nier, and Nill would rely too much on herself, which would not be a good thing in the long run.

"But, about the reinforcements......"

"I can only call on the volunteers, isn't your interpersonal relationship in the Jixia School Palace good?

Lancelot said, "I'll talk to Xiaocao, she should have a way to get you out safely." ”

Not very willingly, Nill left almost dejectedly, and looking at his sister's back, Lancelot confirmed that there was one less obstacle to the implementation of the plan.

"The money has also been obtained, and the people who are in the way have left...... Now it's time to start the plan to usurp the Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute!"
