The power of one blow allowed Arouca to eliminate at least two dozen enemies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is still a drop in the bucket, if you want to kill hundreds of people by yourself, at least you have to wait until you reach the baronial rank. Fortunately, the terrifying power of this knife made the disciples frightened, and no one knew how many times he could swing such a knife...... Although, he can only use it once in twelve hours.

After all, people are afraid of death, and devout believers are no exception. One monk fetches water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat. Everyone wants others to go first, and pick up ready-made ones in a safe place. This mentality has given Arouca a rare breather.

But the good times did not last long, and the believers continued to press. In just a few minutes, Aluca's body was covered with many more wounds, and his strength gradually became exhausted. That is, the attributes of the god punisher are extraordinary, and if he were replaced by an ordinary mercenary, he would have died a long time ago.

"Damn...... If this continues, you can only gamble on the flash...... "Aluka knows that using the flash is tantamount to quenching your thirst by drinking a donkey, and the punishment of the Ring of the Gods is also death.

In desperation, he suddenly heard a dog barking in the distance of the sewers. The congregants apparently heard the unusual sound as well, and nervously stopped attacking......

"Impossible!" cried the priest standing on the periphery, "how could they find out here!"

As the barking of dogs got closer and closer, Wangcheng guards wearing black and red security uniforms poured into the passage. They were outnumbered, armed with iron shields and long swords, and were led by a handsome young man with flowing red hair.

"Brother Sinon......" Arouca squeezed out the name of the person who came from his throat.

Xinon pointed at the Bone Eaters and shouted, "Kill them all!

Hearing this, the Bone Eaters scattered and fled. It sounds good, but in the face of the power of the imperial court, they are still afraid. Even though there was not much difference in numbers and the priests had powerful magical skills, they still did not dare to fight.

The guards showed no mercy, slaughtering the Bone Eaters with the same tactics they used against the Foot Knights. Cutting off the knee joints first, and then cutting off the heads, they also pursued the disciples who fled to other passages.

Fatigue and pain welled up in Aruka's life, and he sat down with his back against the wall, oblivious to the mud and filth of the ground.

Xinon stepped forward and said with a smile, "This Bone Eater Cultist, why didn't you run away? Are you planning to surrender? Remind you, we don't accept prisoners. ”

Aruka cursed, took off his mask, and said, "How did you find here?"

"Hehe, that's really a question you'd ask. After being rescued by me, don't first sigh a few words and escape, first ask me why I found you...... "Xinong didn't hide it, but took out a small bottle from his arms, which contained some beige powder, "This thing is called 'drunken dog', and it is ground with a special plant. Humans can't smell it, but dogs are crazy about it. As a mercenary, you always have to carry some small props with you to complete the task, except for you, a lazy person. ”

"Oh...... It was smeared on me during a fight with me in the tavern, right?"

"You've always been so smart...... But don't think I'm too stupid. Sinon sat down beside Aluca, and said with a smile, "I don't know you yet, will you provoke me for no reason?"

He looked around at the corpses and severed arms, and said, "You expected this to happen...... So I don't want my hands to get some dirty blood. All I can say is that you're overthinking, I'm not Bellamy, and I don't know how dirty my hands are. Over the years of being a mercenary, have I killed fewer good people?"

Aluca buried her head between her knees and whispered, "I don't want this." ”

Sinon rubbed Aluca's head like a big brother and said, "No one wants to, but this world is like this...... Either you eat people, or people eat you. The strong are kings and the losers are cowards, and the weak without strength can only live according to other people's ideas. I know you yearn for freedom, but the premise of having freedom is...... Gain the power that no one can control you. ”

"I know what you say...... Aluka smiled wryly, "I'm just ...... Unwilling to accept it. I always thought that the world could be a different place...... If we don't exterminate these Bone Eaters, will they forge a new path?"

"You know that's impossible. Xinon said categorically.

It's really impossible...... Aluka thought to herself. Era, Productivity, Theoretical Basis...... Neither allows the emergence of new social forms. Equality does not come out of nowhere, the economic base determines the superstructure. As a last resort, the nobles will not give up the power and interests they have acquired.

It's not that he sympathizes with the bone-eaters' tragic past, nor does he identify with their political ideals, but he has a certain affection for such anti-order and anti-authority people...... However, in his opinion, the Bone Eater Cult was still too weak. A great man once said that it is too naïve to think that power comes out of the barrel of a gun and wants to subvert an era by means of reform and proselytizing.

"Can you still go?" said Sinong as he helped Aruka up.

"Hmph, I can walk with a broken leg, let alone now. ”

"I hear you bragging again. ”

"That's right...... Something suddenly came to mind. ”

"What?"

"Leave me a priest of the Eaters of the Bones...... He'll be useful......"

――

On the same day, in the lake of tomorrow.

"You're just coming to see me like this?" Catherine snorted coldly, "Even if you're a lowly mercenary, you should tidy up your appearance before meeting the royal family." ”

Aluka was still the same as after the bloody battle, his clothes were disheveled, his black hair was scattered, and there were dozens of deep and shallow blood cuts on his body, exuding a sinister aura and smell of blood. He snorted nonchalantly: "I thought you liked hard ** grid, did this wound make your heart sprout?"

"Presumptuous!" Catherine slapped the table, but there was no anger in sight.

Xinong came out to make a round and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, we have destroyed the Bone Devouring Sect, and all three hundred and sixty-one disciples were killed on the spot. ”

"Hmph......" Catherine said with her right hand on her cheek, unhappily, "did I let you kill them all?

Aluka whispered to Sinun: "Don't look at her constipated expression, my heart is actually happy." Someone took the blame for her, and she had to wake up laughing when she dreamed. ”

"Hey, whispering less than ten meters away from me, can't you hear me?"

"I just want you to hear it. Aluca spread his hands in a scoundrel.

"Forget it...... I can't make sense with a scoundrel like you...... Yue'er, go and get Sir Bruno here. Catherine ordered.

The maid Yue'er saluted and walked out lightly. Aluca and Sinong stepped aside and waited to see the play.

As a result, the two of them stood like this for half an hour...... It seems that Sir Bruno is still far away, and Aruka is bored enough to want to play "My Sun".

Sir Bruno was not in a good mood when he arrived, and he took his private soldiers to check him for two days without success. The mood was even worse when he saw Aluca's miserable appearance, which was obviously an injury caused by the battle...... Can you fight casually in the royal city? Can you still come to Her Royal Highness the princess after the fight? Obviously, the battle took place with the Bone Eaters.

However, he still took off his hat very gracefully and said, "Hello, Your Highness Princess. ”

Catherine changed her ladylike smile and said, "Sir Bruno, I have bad news for you...... These two mercenaries don't know what kind of luck they have taken, and they actually solved the trouble of the Bone Devouring Sect one step ahead of you. As a royal family, I always have to take into account the credibility of the Rhine royal family. So...... I'm afraid I have to say sorry to you. ”

Sir Bruno had expected it, and his face was angry, but he did not dare to attack Catherine, so he had to say: "I am willing to lose the bet, and if nothing happens, I will retreat." ”

Before leaving, he glared at Aluca and Sinon and said with his mouth, "You wait for me." ”

When he was gone, Aluka sneered and said, "See? ”

Catherine glared at him and said, "Come to me on the weekend and take you to the dinner hosted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer...... Remember, be respectful to the nobles, and I won't protect you. ”

"Uh...... What about knights?"

"I'm a princess of a country, will I lie to you? Catherine said impatiently, and drove the two out of Lake Tomorrow.

After the two left the palace, they were in a much lighter mood. Staying in the royal city is now a sure thing, and Catherine's promise is still trustworthy. The sun is exceptionally bright, the blue sky is exceptionally clear, and the mood is exceptionally pleasant.

"Now...... Isn't it time to settle Sir Bruno's problem?" asked Sinon.

"Of course, you should know someone who does 'business' in the royal city. ”

The business in Aluka's mouth will naturally not be the business in the white road. As soon as Sinon heard this, he nodded, and led Arouca towards the slums. After all these years in the mercenary world, Xinong knows a lot of people who come and go from the north to the south, and there are also in the royal city. In terms of intelligence, he is not as good as Aluca. But in terms of experience and connections, he is not sure how high he is compared to Aluca.

Aluca, a person who can mix well with nodding friends, can't be said to be bad. But in deep relationships, 90% of people have to be scared away by him.

The architectural pattern of the slums is different from that of other areas, where the buildings are low and dense. In order to save space, the upstairs is still upstairs, and most of the rooms are no more than ten square meters, at most one bed can be placed. The streets and alleys are full of criminals dressed in tattered clothes and dangerous eyes, and the garrison does not come to manage the security here at all.

Eighteen bends in the alley, and Aruka followed Sinong to the outside of a gloomy building in a daze. At the door stood two giant men in sailor vests, more than two meters tall and as fat as pigs. However, often this kind of talent is really able to fight, and going to the battlefield is a piece of meat on the chopping board, but brawling is a good hand. A kick can kick a person several meters away. A knife and an axe can only hurt the fat, unless you poke it with a spear...... However, this is a regulated weapon. The hooligans dared to take a spear out into the streets, and the next day they had to be invited to tea by the Knights of the Burning Sun.

Seeing Sinon, the two giants let the door out without saying a word, and stared at Aluka for a long time with wide eyes, full of threats. Arouca didn't want to cause trouble, otherwise he would have returned with a middle finger.

When I walked through the door, I saw a thin middle-aged man sitting behind a table in the room. He had a goatee, his hair was messy like a chicken's nest, and he was keeping accounts with his quill in his hands. Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, he raised his head and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yo, isn't this red hair, what kind of wind blew you here...... Hey, and a black-haired guy who is going to die, and I'm not responsible for disposing of the corpse. ”

Aluka leaned against the door and said, "Don't worry, I won't die if you die." ”

"Huh...... It's a good thing that young people are motivated. Goatee smiled disapprerovingly, "Say, Redhair, what's the trouble." ”

Sinong pointed at Aluca and said, "I listen to him." ”

"That's interesting...... The famous red hairs listen to other people's ...... Young man, I don't charge a lot here. The goatee's eyes were already shining with gold coins.

"Can you make a white strip?" asked Aluca.

"Huh?"

"Oh...... I mean, IOUs. ”

"Of course you can, with the reputation of the red hair, you must not deceive me, a bad old man. Let's talk about it, there is something that is inconvenient for you to do it yourself. ”

Aluka calculated for a moment and said, "I need a thief with quick skills, a prostitute and a little drug, who can get people out of the city without even knowing it."

"Five Kinsennar, give it to me in a month. Goatee immediately made an offer.

"Uh...... Isn't it a bit expensive. "Aluca didn't expect the price to be so high. Sennar is a silver coin, and the gold Sennar is equal to one hundred Sennar, which is generally only used by nobles.

Goatee resumed his bookkeeping, and said without raising his head: "Red Hair, tell him the rules." ”

Xinong spread his hands helplessly and said, "Aluca, the rules of this line are...... No bargaining. High risk, high reward, otherwise who would do it. ”

"Okay, okay, it's for Bellamy's anyway...... The daughter is gone, and she will come back."

Aluca's eyes narrowed, the expression was nine points similar to Catherine's, and he had already thought about how to make Sir Bruno worse than dead......
