【Chapter 21】 Burnout
In the afternoon, the sun shines strongly, but the sunlight through the clouds is blocked by layers of fog. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis makes the whole Misty Island still look as cold as the early morning, but the people coming and going make the streets of the market lively. They know that this is the busiest time of the day after lunch.
The instructor of the Black Prince's agents, Gizo, quickly summoned everyone after receiving the letter from Aidi. Dressed in linen costumes that were no different from ordinary people, they came from all directions to the not far corner of the cell, and all of them were silent, did not talk, but kept vigilant eyes and looked around, looking from a distance like more than a dozen civilians looking for work.
The tall Gizo, dressed in linen cloth and with a tattered cloak buttoned over his head, made him look very shabby. He was bent deeply, as if he were an old man in his twilight years, resting against the corner. A pair of fierce eyes stared closely at the cell, when a companion next to him came over and asked softly in his ear.
"Action?".
Gizo didn't answer, but waved his hand casually, motioning for them to wait. His movements made those companions feel anxious, and in this nervous mood, no one wanted to remain in this uncertainty forever, and they endured, trying not to let their hands touch the weapon at their waist.
"What's wrong?
Hearing his companion's voice, Yoshizo still stared intently at the cell in the distance.
"No, there aren't any guards here. Gizo said silently, which annoyed his companion.
"Then it's not a way for us to stay here......"
At this time, Ji Zuo had an idea, and hurriedly turned around to interrupt him, "Otherwise, ...... like this" Hearing his words, the secret agent nodded silently.
Moments later, the agent waved his hand to four other companions, five of whom carefully walked to the cell with weapons at their waists. When they came to the cell, they looked around vigilantly, only to see that there was only silence around them, and the silence made people feel eerie.
Seeing that there was no movement around him, the spy came to the small door of the cell, kicked it open, quickly drew the short sword at his waist, and rushed in. However, the inside of the cell was even quieter than outside. The five men entered the cell, looking for Izzy, but all they saw were empty cells, the cold bars exuding a touch of desolation in the faint light of the fire.
A short time later, they walked out of the cell and reached out twice to Gizobi in the distance, who immediately responded with two gestures, and the five men re-entered the cell and gently closed the door. Gizo leaned into the corner, thinking, when a companion who didn't know what was going on walked over.
"What's the situation?".
Hearing his companion's inquiry, he shook his head slightly, "Izzy isn't here. ”
"What then?"
The agent anxiously continued to ask, but Gizo replied calmly, "The letter says that he will come here to meet us soon after we succeed, and we will find out if we ask him." ”
"What if the old man doesn't know......"
As soon as the secret agent's voice fell, he saw Ji Zuo with a deep face, slightly opened his eyes full of fierce light, and his cold and serious voice slowly came out from the corner of his mouth that exuded a grim smile.
"Then we'll do the ...... as planned."
After Soros had a simple bite of lunch in his room, he sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, seeing that Aidi had not come back for a long time, he sighed softly, got up and shook the robe on his body, and the folds on his clothes just now suddenly became smooth. He shook his head and walked out, sighing.
He walked out of the castle on Misty Island, looked back, and saw the two white rangers guarding the gate of the castle, standing solemnly at their posts. After Soros saw that there was nothing abnormal, he went directly to the direction of the cell.
The cells were located between the bazaar and the castle, but they were relatively remote. After passing through several dilapidated houses, you can see the appearance of the cells in the distance. Behind the cell is a lush field of trees against the blurred sea in the distance.
Since there have never been many people here, Soros did not meet anyone along the way. As he silently passed by the dilapidated houses, he felt that someone was secretly looking at him. However, Soros didn't care, he coughed lightly and walked straight to the cell.
He stood in the doorway and took a deep breath, then pushed open the small door, and the creaking sound echoed in the silence of the cell with the dim light of the fire. Just as Soros walked in, suddenly there was a piercing sound of the blade unsheathed, and with the cold light, I saw a bright short sword on his shoulder from behind.
"Did you get it?"
Soros's face did not change, and he said calmly, but the short sword on his shoulder was not withdrawn. At this time, one of the agents turned around and came to him with a short sword, and several other agents also held the short sword tightly and cautiously surrounded him, looking at him vigilantly.
"Master Soros, Izzy is not here. ”
The agent said with a slight hint of hostility, and the expression on his face did not seem to be nervous, because the short sword on Soros's shoulder would obliterate him at any moment as long as he moved.
"No surprises......
Soros's calmness made the agents a little puzzled.
"And where is Izzy now?"
"You are not yet worthy to speak to me, and call your princes. ”
Soros said, stretched out his fingers, and gently flicked the cold short sword on his shoulder, and in an instant, a powerful force made the short sword in the agent's hand come out of his hand, and hit the iron bar of the cell on the side, making a crisp sound.
After seeing this scene, the spy standing in front of him pondered for a moment, nodded silently behind Soros, and the agent behind him walked out quickly with his shoulders in his arms, due to the impact of the magic just now, his arm holding the sword was still slightly painful.
Soon after, Gizzo entered the cell with all the spies, and the last one who came in closed the door. For a moment, the cell was dark again, and only a faint light remained.
"Master Soros, Izzy is not here. ”
As he spoke, Gizo took out his short sword, played with it with his hand, and came to him. Soros didn't mean to be afraid, he put his hands behind his back, and if he didn't listen to their conversation, it was as if Soros was the leader of the group.
"Izzy failed your mission, and now that he's escaped, you should move on to the next mission as soon as possible. ”
"Before the next mission, I need to make sure that nothing happens, after all, we are going to get an artifact, may I ask Master Soros, where is Izzy now?".
Gizo's voice, heavy and powerful, was more like an interrogative tone, with a hint of blame in it.
"Maybe they've fled. ”
"Then ask Master Soros to arrange the next move for us. ”
Ji Zuo said, quickly put the short sword back, and spread his hands in front of him, the contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, showing a very impolite look.
"What Her Highness wants on this island, only Bai Ling knows, why don't you go and ask her. Also, I warn you not to go too far on this island, or you will not escape the punishment of Your Highness. ”
Soros said sharply, and then Gizo pretended not to know anything, "What is the master referring to?"
"You know what it is, all I suggest is to blame the dead man for him, I didn't expect you to create such a dirty crime, think about it with your heads, who would believe that it was Izzy who did it. ”
As soon as Soros finished speaking, the surrounding spies suddenly looked at Gizo in surprise, but Gizo coughed in embarrassment.
"Hey, Master, Izzy is only a secondary goal, and we're ultimately focused on getting the artifact. Now that Izzy has escaped, there is no one left to stop our plans. ”
Soros snorted disapprovingly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Gizo. At this moment, Gizo lowered his head and stretched out his hand to him apologetically.
"Master Soros, I am sorry for my rudeness to you, and I will definitely repent at your funeral in the future......"
As Gizo spoke, his other hand quickly reached behind his back.
However, before he could finish speaking, Soros quickly slapped him in the chest, and suddenly a wave of air instantly sent Gizzo flying. Several agents behind him immediately came to their senses and swung their swords at him.
Soros didn't dodge or dodge, turned around and waved his hand lightly, a cold light gathered in his hand, and with the rapid movement of his hand, a faint glowing trace remained in the air.
I saw several spies behind Soros who were instantly frozen by his magic, and they were frozen there motionless, like ice sculptures with swords raised, only eyes in the ice, shaking from side to side in horror.
Seeing that his companion was frozen, several other spies quickly took out a dagger glowing green from their waists and stabbed him fiercely. Soros quickly squatted down, slapped his hands to the ground, and suddenly a wave of cold air exploded with the sound of cold ice shattering, and surged around him as the center.
As soon as the air wave passed them, they saw that the feet of several spies were frozen in ice, making them unable to move. These agents are also seasoned elites, and they quickly reacted and threw their daggers at Soros, who was close at hand. Just as the dagger flew towards him with a stream of green light, Soros shook his head slightly and flashed to the side out of thin air.
Soros dodged the attack, but the daggers with green light did not miss, and since they were in the middle of Soros, these daggers hit each other impartially. A companion who dodged the dagger watched as his companion on the other side was brutally injured by himself. And when he came back to his senses, he looked at Soros.
I saw that his eyes full of vicissitudes suddenly became sharp, and he slapped the secret agent, and in an instant, a huge impact bounced him away. Although he was knocked to the side, his feet were still frozen in place......
After Soros easily eliminated a dozen spies, he saw that there was no one else beside him. Only then did he shake the robe on his body.
"I tell you, young man, that the necessary etiquette will affect your fate. ”
As Soros spoke, he strolled to the spies behind him who were frozen into pieces.
These spies were frozen in the ice with their daggers aloft and remained motionless, their eyes just staring at Soros in fear.
"Gizo, it seems that your mission has failed, tell me the arrangements of the Black Prince, and I will let you go back alive, or ......," Soros said, slowly placing his hand on the ice.
Suddenly, he slapped the cold ice hard, and in an instant, with the sound of the ice shattering, these ice sculptures that were frozen into one piece suddenly shattered to the ground. The ice scattered on the ground gradually disappeared, leaving only the fragments of the corpses of the spies, but there was not a trace of blood.
"This is the arrangement of the Black Prince!"
In the corner, Gizo shouted, threw the dagger with all his strength, and a green light roared towards Thoros. Unexpectedly, Soros dodged flexibly, and just when he dodged the dagger, he saw Gizo waving a short sword and shouting and rushing out of the corner, like a crazy rhinoceros, heading straight for Soros.
Soros tried to cast another spell, but it was too late, Gizo quickly swung his short sword, and cold light struck. Soros had no choice but to retreat step by step, dodging the fierce attack. Gizo's quick and fierce attack quickly forced Soros to the door of the cell. I saw him slash at Soros with a sword, Soros quickly shook out his hands, and with a glimmer of light, his hands tightly grasped the sword body, but Gizo's huge strength did not make the short sword hang down.
Under this tremendous force, Soros held the short sword with both hands and sat on the ground, the tip of the sword with a piercing grinding sound, leaving a scar on the door of the cell. Just as the short sword was about to slash at Soros's shoulder, there was a sudden loud bang, and the tip of the sword that went deep into the cell door slashed heavily against a piece of cast iron on the door.
At this time, Soros smiled, and he let go of his hands. Gizza reacted immediately, holding the sword in his left hand and punching him in the face with his right fist, but with the sound of bones shattering, a sharp pain spread from his hand throughout his body. Gizo's heavy punch hit Soros's magical barrier.
Gizo clutched his deformed right hand and stepped back. Soros stood up at this point, gasping for air. He smiled at the painful Gizo in front of him, and gently shook his robe.
"Lord Gizo, it seems that you can't go back and report to Your Highness. ”
Gizo's right hand was bleeding, but his eyes were viciously looking at Soros.
"Master Soros, if Your Highness knows, he will not let you go!"
"Joke! Didn't it take Your Highness's order to kill me just now? ”
"Bai Ling won't let you go, you've already leaked......"
"You don't say who knows. ”
Seeing that Soros seemed to be in control of everything, Gizo gritted his teeth in pain.
"So what do you do next?"
"I will tell the White Spirit the truth about my encounter with your sneak attack, and at the same time inform the Black Prince of your failure, and in the end I will still be the secret counsel of the Misty Island......"
Soros said indifferently, he had already arranged all this, because he knew that only in this way could he escape from this chaos and live. Seeing that Soros had already planned everything, Gizo took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and raised his head.
"Master Soros, you won, now I just beg you to give me a good time!"
Gizo finished silently, quietly waiting for the end of his fate. At this time, Soros drew his short sword and slashed into the prison door, and slowly walked in front of Gizo.
"Don't worry, kid, I won't let you die so soon. ”
Hearing Soros's eerie voice, Gizo immediately opened his eyes, only to see that he had already swung the sharp short sword in his hand.
Soros slashed hard at Gizo's leg with a sword, and his body instantly couldn't support it, and he fell to the ground on his back. Soros immediately drew his short sword hard, and a stream of hot blood suddenly splattered onto his robes. He gave Gizza a smug smile and tossed his dagger aside.
"At least people will believe me covered in blood. ”
"Soros!"
Gizo shouted angrily, but at this time he couldn't stand up, he turned over hard, lay on the ground, and crawled towards Soros step by step. At this time, Soros picked up the torch on the pillar next to him and looked at Gizo meaningfully.
"I only hope that next time the Black Prince will send a smarter agent. ”
Soros said, dropping the torch in his hand on the ground.
The ground in the cell was full of straw, and the moment the torch touched, it suddenly burned into a piece, and Gizo, who was lying in a pool of blood, looked at Soros's back from a distance through the successive flames, and gradually disappeared at the door of the cell
"Soros!ah!"
He howled in pain as he watched as the flames slowly devoured him......
Soros slowly walked out of the cell, he sighed deeply, turned back to look at the cell again, only to see the smoke billowing from the small door of the cell, and his heart finally relaxed. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he was shocked by the scene in front of him......
I saw Bai Ling with everyone, as well as dozens of heavily armed white rangers. Bai Ling looked at Soros with an angry gaze, and at the same time held the bow and arrow, and hurried towards him, what puzzled him the most was that Izzy was also by her side at this time.
"Lord Bai Ling......"
Soros raised his hand and was about to speak, when he saw Bai Ling raise his bow and arrow as he walked, as if he didn't need to aim, and shot an arrow. In this brief moment, Soros couldn't dodge, and an arrow with the whistling of the wind, like lightning, hit him in the center of the eyebrows.
"Shut up, hypocritical old fellow. ”
Soros didn't even have time to say a word before he fell to the ground on his back, blood slowly flowing down his head. After a while, everyone came to his side, Bai Ling commanded the white ranger behind him to check the condition of the cell, while Izzy crouched on the ground, looking at Soros's corpse.
His eyes were wide open, as if he didn't understand what had happened until after he died.
"It's a ...... you didn't expect"
Izzy said silently, reaching out to his eyes full of surprise. Standing behind everyone, Aidi silently closed his eyes at this time, and his hands were gently clasped in front of his chest, revealing a look of mourning as if praying......
