Book 40 Falling

Arni was torn up his contract in front of Il's face yesterday and was resentful. Therefore, he ordered a good man to come to the headquarters of the Kou Chi Trading Company today to find trouble with Il. As a result, people still used their rhetoric yesterday, and there was no room for maneuver at all. He Arni is not stupid enough to turn his face with the Kou Chi Chamber of Commerce and use force, he can't move others, he just wants to show his tough attitude when he brings people. Seeing that the other party still didn't give him face, he could only leave with a scolding.

Zhou Shu was angry when he heard his voice, and kicked open the double solid wood door, just as he saw Arni walking past them and preparing to go down the stairs.

Arni turned his head when he heard a voice behind him, and saw Zhou Shu standing there, smiling at his rival Lu Zai. He came with four retired veterans this time. Now that the war is tense, people with a little magic power are attracted to the battlefield with a lot of money, and then die there, so the four people around Arni are just ordinary people with considerable force. Before coming here, they were strengthened by Arni in the strengthening circle, so they also have a certain combat power.

Master Zhou regretted it when he rushed out. Now he couldn't summon his army of animals, Smith wasn't around, and he didn't eat the candy with the power ring. If you fight with others in this state, the winning rate is not high.

Fortunately, Midali then ran out as well. She now knows that Zhou Shu and Arni have a grudge, and decisively shows up to stand up for Zhou Shu.

Damn, how did this woman get involved with these aliens?

Arni is depressed. If you want to offend Kou Chi Trading Company, he doesn't care. A super businessman like Kou Chi always puts interests ahead of hatred, and they will not trouble the garrison of the Defeated City because of some trivial things. But the Eagle Killer is different, in a few days, people will have to go on a mission with their own Wings of Light, as long as these soldiers are willing, they will pit their teammates with a spirit.

There was no fight again.

Zhou Shu said 'Hi' to the other side in embarrassment, and Arni smiled and nodded. This greeting is like going out and meeting a neighbor's aunt coming home after buying groceries.

Ula slapped himself in the face helplessly, and couldn't bear to look directly at the behavior of the second owner. He could feel that Zhou Shu seemed to have signs of blind arrogance, but fortunately, his sanity was still there.

The housekeeper also guessed that the two sides who came for the sake of the birds should not be able to deal with each other, and at the right time appeared to ease the smell of a large amount of gunpowder, and each gave a step to separate the two sides.

At Midali's request, Zhou Shu and the three were taken to the president's office. Arni whispered a few words to the guards around him, ordering them to follow Zhou Shu and the others to find their whereabouts.

President Il was working at the desk at this time, and when he saw a few people coming, he immediately pushed aside the quill pen and file in his hand, and politely exchanged politeness with Midali.

Zhou Shu thought that Midali was a character like a wayward lady, but he didn't expect that she would be able to skillfully communicate with people as the commander of an army.

Ilr just had something to ask Midali to do. His subordinates recently wanted to transport a batch of spices to White Moon City, but there were not enough escorts, so he wanted to borrow a few soldiers under the Eagle Man. The real purpose is to use the name of the Eagle Slayer to protect his caravan.

Midali thought about it, and saw that there were not many people on the other side, so she agreed. Now is the time to employ people, it was originally planned that there will be a big military move on the side of the defeated city in three days, and the specific situation is kept secret so far, but it can probably be guessed that the city lord Torch Duke wants to recapture several strongholds occupied by the army of the forest country. The Duke of Torch had a particularly obvious habit of using his troops, and the most common tactic was to send an elite force deep into the enemy's belly like scissors, and then send a large force to beat the torn enemy lines.

This tactic has a low tolerance for the army, and it is easy for emergencies to occur. However, it can also increase the combat intensity of the soldiers of the Forest Country. Their side did not have an advantage in numbers, and the higher the intensity of the battle, it was easy for them to suffer a large number of casualties among the non-commissioned officer class, who were also not wealthy.

By the way, Midali sold the approximate start time of this campaign to Il. He, a businessman, knew this information and could cleverly arrange some personnel changes. For example, in wartime, human resources are more valuable, and Ilr can hire some idle people to go to caravans before then. Another example is that the price of grain will rise in a short period of time during wartime, and Il can buy and speculate for a short time.

Ilr thanked Midali for the news, but did not show the philistine and profit-seeking expression of any businessman. He came across as more of a clergyman than a businessman.

Declining the invitation to dinner with the Illius, Zhou Shu and the three returned to the hotel at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Arni's guards followed the three of them well, and after seeing the three of them enter the hotel, one of them left the team to report to Arni.

Midali sent the two to their lodgings, and she went back to the Falcon stronghold first. They had discussed it on the road before, and decided to go to the slave market tomorrow to see the auction of the princess of the dead country. As long as Il has a beautiful woman in his hand, they will supervise her return to the birds and set them free.

Next, if there is time, the three of them will go to the black market for a spin. Midali hadn't been there for a long time, and while helping Zhou Shu find a high-level cultivation magic array, she also wanted to add something to herself. For example, magic potions that are also controlled commodities or something.

After Midali went home, Zhou Shu remembered that he was penniless now, and tonight's dinner was probably going to be in the soup again. Fortunately, he and Ula were used to starvation, and the two of them consciously returned to their rooms. In order to kill time, they played a game of chess that was unique to this world.

With the sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard, the two of them also gurgled violently. Zhou Shu is quite talented in this game, and he killed his girlfriend more than a dozen games in a row.

Ula Mystery is a strong man, unwilling to lose to his master in a brain game, so he fights with all his might. She will sacrifice a magic array and a non-commissioned officer to strengthen the three soldiers, and order them to bypass the castle to attack the king of Zhou Shu.

Master Zhou smiled and moved the queen to a step, leading the mystery of Ula deeper. His non-commissioned officer is almost ready to revert, and when the time comes, he will be able to take the enemy home with his team for a knight. As a result, just as he thought, Ula Mystery kept sending troops to storm the royal city, and was finally made dumplings by himself.

Ula Mystery, who has been defeated in consecutive battles, finally gives up this unlucky game and blows the lamp to sleep. Master Zhou had long wanted to sleep, so he climbed into bed first.

Ula was a little sad when he lost the puzzle chess, and said angrily: "Sleep honestly, you are cold and hungry, and you don't have that mind." ”

The nights in September are already cold. The wooden walls of the inn were still blowing cold air.

"Cold, then you can sleep with me covered. Zhou Shu put on a benevolent and righteous face, but unfortunately Wu Lami still didn't give him a chance, grabbed the quilt and shrunk on the bed without saying a word.

Zhou Shu was too lazy to be bored, and was ready to enter the candy house to play a few games of level 3 difficulty before going to bed to earn a few candies or something.

The world of the candy house is still half-dead, everything in this world can be eaten, but no matter how much you eat, you will not be full, and you can't take it to the outside world.

As soon as Master Zhou completed a task, he felt his body shake.

Ula mystery is shaking me?

Zhou Shu glanced at the two jelly beans in the trophy, which turned out to be two yogurt-flavored, and it was the first time it had appeared. After confirming the harvest of the Zhou Shu, he returned directly to the real world, and his shoulder was painfully grabbed by Ulla's mystery. "Okay, okay, I'm out, what's the matter?"

Ula put his index finger to his lips to signal silence. "There seemed to be some sound outside, human voices. ”

The city of the defeated army has a curfew system, and it is now twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the city without nightlife has long been silent. Those who will appear on the streets outside at this time are either officials or thieves.

"There is indeed a little movement, as if someone is splashing water...... Zhou Shu stood on tiptoe and walked to the window and lifted the wooden board slightly. Through the crack, he saw two people spilling something under the inn.

"It looks like it's a kerosene ......" Zhou Shu conjured a mouse and threw it down. After the little guy landed on the ground, he rolled on the liquid spilled by the other party, and then rushed back to Zhou Shu's side. "It's really fire oil!" The rat was covered with black and sticky things, and the smell was pungent and unpleasant. The technology of refining crude oil in this world is very poor, and the oil produced is nothing but fire.

Thinking about the fact that the Takeoff Bird's rented house was burned down, Zhou Shu and Ula Mystery can conclude that the two people downstairs were instructed by Arni to make trouble for themselves.

Fortunately, they arrived in time. If it's a little later, my magic will be all over the candy house.

This black light is blinding, and it is a good opportunity for him to show his supernatural powers. Zhou Shu grabbed the book and tore them open with a stack of pages, crunching and chewing jelly beans with pride.

Just as he was about to jump from the second floor and beat the other party violently, a figure on the third floor of the hotel jumped first.

Who's this!

Ula squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, "It's the sick princess." ”

How did she run out? "What the hell is going on?"

Wu Lami stopped Zhou Shu, who wanted to go up to help, and said to him, "Let's take a look at the situation first." The sick princess's behavior in the Defeated Soldier City is weird, so it's better not to join in. ”

"Weird?"

"Do you remember the song that the innkeeper sang at noon?" ”

Zhou Shu nodded.

"There are a lot of words in it that are very far-fetched, and even I, a foreigner who has only learned the lingua franca for a month, can find more beautiful and appropriate words, and there is no reason why the sick princess can't think of it. I suspect that the poem or something was actually a coded letter. There should be a special reading method to disassemble the letters inside and compose the poem into other content. The innkeeper had said that occasionally someone would come and ask for it, and I thought that person should be someone from the fake princess's side, in contact with the real sick princess. ”

The hiding identity of the sick princess and the fact that Princess Fuhu lied about her disappearance have always been a nail in Zhou Shu's heart, as if there is some conspiracy hidden in this defeated city, and when it surfaces, it will bring disaster to the city like Godzilla.

Thinking so, the sick princess jumped downstairs and wanted to scare the gang away, but not only did these two not leave, but two more came out from behind the inn.

The four of them looked at the sick princess, and suddenly all of them poured the remaining fire oil in their hands. The force of this splash was enormous, and it was evident that the strengthened soldiers were working with all their might. The sick princess tried to jump up and dodge, but her feet slipped and fell to the ground.

The place where she was standing had already been splashed with oil, and the ground was slippery and had no grip at all.

Isn't it? The onlookers Zhou Shu and Ula Mystery were stunned at the same time. Zhou Shu confirmed the summoning points of the sick princess again, it is indeed 140,000, yes, but this skill is too watery, right?
