Chapter 7: Heavenly Evil
A crescent moon broke through the clouds and cast a silver glow over the Raven Castle, illuminating a pair of round, alert blue eyes on the battlements, behind which a quiet shadow crept. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a dry sewer beneath the wall, a gray squirrel poked its black nose and whiskers out, searching for possible danger. After two minutes, the gray squirrel, who had not noticed anything unusual, quickly jumped out of the sewer and ran down the street with a low body.
At this moment, the shadow of the sculpture on the wall battlement flew down, and the blue eyes accurately judged the path of the gray squirrel, its soft soles and sharp claws firmly pressed the back of the gray squirrel, and its teeth bit impatiently into the back of the neck of the prey.
"Ahh Seeing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh, he had hoped that the gray squirrel would escape from the old cat's mouth, but the truth was that this experienced hunter was even more skilled.
But then again, if Bai Ye had just screamed, the fearful gray squirrel would definitely not dare to climb out of the sewer again, and he would have been spared this catastrophe, which was actually an easy thing, but why didn't he have the desire to shout out? Bai Ye couldn't say it, maybe he was too lazy to change the fate of this gray squirrel, perhaps, he just wanted to find a little fun while waiting for the heavenly evil, and hoped that this cat-and-mouse drama would last a little longer.
In the cattle pen behind Bai Ye, there was a pungent smell of blood blown by the cold wind, which was a little disgusting.
Bai Ye couldn't help but think that half an hour ago, on the way back to the stronghold with Tianxie, he passed by this cattle pen, and there were three sleeping oxen in it, and Bai Ye, who cared about everything, was still complaining to Tianxiao about what happened in the tavern just now.
"I just asked you to show off what you're capable of, but I didn't ask you to pile Scharor's men in front of the tavern like firewood. If you're not careful, this provocation will make the Thieves Guild think we're at war with them. ”
Heavenly Evil shrugged: "In my dictionary, the only way to show ability is to speak with your fists. ”
"Your dictionary? You don't know any words, do you?"
"It's just an Oriental saying. ”
"Damn, I know it's an oriental saying, don't you see that my hair is also black!" Bai Ye let out a long sigh and exhaled a trace of white mist: "Forget it, it seems that Shamoro didn't care about this offense, it seems that he is also afraid of the ability of your eyes to glow green, so judging from the results, it is not bad." Shamora was an unexpected fellow, and his words and actions were far beyond my expectations. ”
Heavenly Evil showed a sinister smile, which looked a little strange in the moonlight: "I think his words are very reasonable, only those who are strong enough can win allies." Even though you have me behind to help, as long as you are still so weak and powerless, our business will not be able to move an inch. ”
"Of course I know, but I don't have that terrible bloodline like your brothers, and a few weeks ago I was just a little beggar on the street, what can I do......
"I'm not here to advise you, that's a question that only you can answer. But if you can't find a way to get stronger, you're just a drag on us, and I've never had a lot of patience with waste. ”
"I don't doubt that. Bai Ye replied coldly.
"Now that the escort is over, I can also have a relationship with Bliss. Before I go back, I'm going to fill my stomach. ”
Bai Ye only then remembered that the Heavenly Evil hadn't eaten for almost a day or two, and if it was him, he would probably be too hungry to get up, but the Heavenly Evil had always had that poker face, and he couldn't see anything unusual, which made Bai Ye admire very much.
"It's so late, let's go find a restaurant to get something to eat. ”
"I don't like the food here, I need a little fresh...... Ingredients, if you are not in a hurry to go back, you can help me put a sentry, and it is best not to let others see me eating. Remember, don't come near me. ”
"What?" Bai Ye didn't know why, but the heavenly evil had disappeared into the shadows in a blink of an eye, and when the moonlight was shining, he saw the heavenly evil lying on the corpse of a cow near the bullpen in large pieces, and the two surviving cattle around him were kneeling beside each other tremblingly, bowing their heads and necks to kill.
The stray child couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that the so-called fresh ingredients of the heavenly evil were to bite the animal to death like a wild beast and eat its flesh and blood.
Just as White Night was standing guard at the intersection of the bullpen, waiting for the Heavenly Evil to finish eating, two guards of the Raven Castle with torches came from the far side of the road, wearing the traditional crow-patterned cotton coats here, with half-chain mail inside, and swords hanging crookedly from their waists.
"Ha, look at this figure is a girl. ”
One of the guards, wearing a helmet, saw the lonely figure of the white night, and immediately shouted in an obscene tone.
Another bald guard looked at him and said weakly, "It's a skinny boy." ”
"A boy," the helmeted guard muttered discontentedly, as he approached, "what are you hiding here so late, are you going to do something bad?"
Bai Ye responded calmly: "My lord, I'm just a stinky begging for food, and I don't have a penny on me, and I just overslept while begging for food on the street, so I was delayed." ”
The two guards looked at each other.
"It's suspicious. The bald guard judged.
"But looking at his rags, even if there are two children in his pockets, they will have already leaked, so what does he do. The helmeted guard said in a tired tone, waving his hand to leave.
The bald guard nodded, and was about to leave with his companion, when suddenly he froze.
"Wait a minute, what's going on with this smell of blood?"
The helmet-wearing guard immediately raised the torch vigilantly and swept it behind Bai Ye, while the bald guard drew his sword and stood in front of Bai Ye.
"I don't know," Bai Ye raised his hands with an innocent face: "You see, my body is clean." ”
"We've seen a lot of things like finding a little beggar to keep watch when we commit murder," the bald guard said in a deep voice. His companion walked behind the white night as if he were facing a great enemy, and he hesitated to crouch down in front of the bullpen and shine a light on it with a torch.
"What did you find?" shouted the bald guard, impatiently.
The helmeted guard turned his head and stood up: "Damn, a cow has been stripped open and its intestines are bleeding all over the ground, it seems that the mountain wolf did evil." ”
The bald guard breathed a sigh of relief, and he lowered his sword: "Maybe it's the giant centipede, I've heard that in winter they like to burrow into the warm and humid sewers to build their nests, and sneak out in the middle of the night to attack livestock. ”
"Seeing that you have such a nose and eyes, tonight's report will be written by you. The helmet-wearing guard laughed, straightened his helmet and was about to leave, when suddenly he stiffened and his torch fell to the ground. The dancing flames instantly ignited the thatch on the ground.
"What the hell," scolded the bald guard, "I told you not to drink before the patrol, you can't even hold a torch." ”
However, the helmeted guard did not respond, and his body staggered as if drunk, and then he fell into the fire.
At the screams of the bald guards, a pair of dark green pupils full of murderous intent lit up in the cowshed, light and dark as the flames danced.
Bai Ye's back was cold, and he remembered the cat he had just preyed on.
