【Chapter 27】 Ambush on all sides
In an inconspicuous tavern in Silver Spirit City, although the time has reached evening, it is still lively here, in the intoxicating singing of the bard, everyone is talking with friends, telling what they have experienced, even if some of the things they talk about are not true, or exaggerated, but everyone is still happy, they have a slightly drunk look on their faces, drink one by one, as if all the unpleasant things in life will disappear here.

Izzy and Yanna went to their rented room, and when they entered the room, they saw the neat and clean beds, the beautiful paintings on the walls, and the exquisite set of tables and chairs, and they did not know how much better it was than the taverns in those villages.
"It's still a big city, it's much more comfortable than where we used to stay. ”
Yanna said, lying on the bed, although she lived here yesterday, but after being sorted out by the boss, Yanna still couldn't bear to praise.
"yes, and the money is more expensive than where I used to stay. ”
As he spoke, Izzy closed the door tightly with his hand, so as not to let the noise outside come in unscrupulously.
"Why are you so worried about money?"
Yeona pouted and scolded with a cute little mouth, and Izzy just smiled helplessly and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"No, I just don't think a place to live needs to cost so much, you see, the cost of accommodation and meals add up to enough to live in the village for a week, and by the way, add the damn cost of tidying up the room. ”
Looking at Izzy's complaining appearance, Yanna couldn't help frowning, "You're just stingy" After Yanna finished speaking, she picked up the pillow and lay on the bed, her body turned inside, and she didn't pay attention to Izzy anymore. Izzy smiled bitterly, he got up and went to the table and chair, and slowly sat down in the chair, his arm lightly resting on the smooth table, his hand on his forehead, closing his eyes and pondering.
Yanna on the side saw that there was no movement for a long time, she turned her head and stared at him with a pair of clear and moist eyes, and looked at him suspiciously, "Izzy, what's wrong?
Hearing her slightly mischievous voice, Izzy slowly raised his head and smiled gently, "No, you go to sleep first, I promised Cedric to see him tonight." ”
"Oh, you'd have to come back early, or we'd go together. Yeona said, with a look of concern on her face, but she didn't expect Izzy's expression to become serious.
"That's not good, our meeting this time is very important, it is easy to attract attention when there are more people, I promise you that I will come back soon. ”
"That's up to you. ”
Hearing Izzy's words, Yeona nodded her head and buried her head. Soon, with the sound of slight breathing, Yeona gradually fell asleep. Izzy on the side looked at Yanna with a smile, and saw that the time was almost up, so he took a light step, picked up the long knife, and walked out quietly. He cautiously closed the door, for fear of waking Yanna. After passing through the still lively hall, his figure silently disappeared into the doorway, not attracting anyone's attention in the room.
Cedric actually entered the Silver Spirit City in the afternoon, because if he entered the city at night, he would definitely attract the attention of the Coldlight Guards. He took two mercenaries of the Order, carrying heavy boxes, to the home of a client of the people whom he had once completed, and waited there until late at night with the hospitality of the people.
Late at night, Cedric walked easily towards the agreed chapel with his hands behind his back, while two Order mercenaries followed behind him with heavy large boxes, one tall and one short, and there were faint bruises on their faces.
"My lord, who are we going to with the money?"
The tall man asked cautiously, but before Cedric could answer, the short companion beside him rebuked, "You idiot, didn't you tell you, go find Lord Izzy." ”
"But why did you bring our money to Silver Spirit City?"
At this time, Cedric turned around with a smile behind his back, faced the two of them, and walked backwards, "The boss didn't say anything, but guess what?" Looking at Cedric's cynical look, the short man tilted his head in thought as he walked.
"Are we going to buy a house in Silver Spirit City?"
As soon as the short man finished speaking, the tall man suddenly glared at him, "You idiot, don't we have enough place to live in Tyre." ”
"Then you say, what are you doing with all this money?"
At this time, the tall man raised his head with a little vigor, and blinked his eyes that had not yet disappeared, "Lord Izzy must buy a piece of land in Silver Spirit City, and then we will move here to live, so that we can avoid the pursuit of the Order, am I right, Lord Cedric?"
Listening to the tall man's words, Cedric frowned as he stepped back, "Do you think this money is enough to buy a piece of land in Silver Spirit City?"
Hearing Cedric's rhetorical question, the short man took over at this time, "Ah, I see, we are going to bribe Nevendon with ...... money."
Before the short man could finish speaking, the tall man interrupted him, "No, maybe Izzy-sama is going to squander the money so that we can report to the Order that the goods have been looted by the bandits." ”
"Master Cedric, allow me to give this bullshit fool a slap in the face. ”
"Allow"
Cedric turned his back when he finished speaking, and the short man stopped, put down the box, and raised his hand to give the tall man a slap. The tall man covered his face with his hands aggrievedly. At this time, Cedric turned around again, and when he saw this, he showed a puzzled expression, "Why don't you leave?"
"Your Excellency, you just gave me a slap in the face......"
"What?
Seeing Cedric's innocent appearance, the short man hurriedly defended, "No, my lord, I asked you just now......"
"Oh, I thought you were referring to what he said again. After Cedric finished speaking, the tall man looked at the short man with a hint of hatred.
The three of them walked all the way to the church. Cedric walked ahead and pushed open the door, only to see Izzy already standing on the podium in the hall, waiting for him. So he took the two mercenaries of the Order behind him and walked forward quickly.
Cedric was about to speak, when suddenly there was a bang behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that as soon as the two Order mercenaries let go, the box fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. "Hey, tap!" the sound of the otherwise unusually quiet hall clearly startled Cedric.
Izzy crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at the two mercenaries of the Order with blue noses and swollen faces behind Cedric, and immediately frowned, "Cedric, I said, only the two of us will meet this time." ”
Cedric smiled and nodded to Izzy, "I can't lift this big box myself, don't worry, boss, they won't tell me." Cedric said, glancing sideways at the two Order mercenaries behind him.
Seeing Cedric's eyes, the two Order mercenaries hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes... Yes, we won't say. Hearing their echo, Izzy showed a slight helplessness.
"I'm not worried that they'll say it, I'm worried about you leaking the news. ”
At this time, Cedric showed a particularly innocent expression, and spread his hands, "I didn't tell anyone. Oh, I just briefed Tiara. ”
Hearing this, Izzy's face sank, "What!? You big mouth!"
Seeing Izzy's angry appearance, Cedric swallowed deeply and looked at him carefully, "No way, I was bumped into by her, if I don't understand, she can kill me." Don't worry, I only told her one person. Cedric patted Izzy on the arm, smiling sheepishly comforting him.
"What's the difference between telling Tiara and telling all the Mercenaries of the Order. It's good that nothing has been done, and everyone knows that we have money. ”
"It's okay, boss, tell me now, how are we going to spend this money," Cedric smiled and tried to divert the conversation.
"I'm going to buy an army from Nivandon so that we can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Prado" Hearing Izzy's words, Cedric looked at him in surprise and nodded secretly.
"Oh, well, why don't we just hire some mercenaries, it's cheaper. ”
Izzy snorted softly and replied, "Do you think those motley mercenaries can attack the city? they are no different from bandits in my eyes" Izzy finished speaking, Cedric held his chin, and his eyes rotated from side to side, as if he was thinking quickly, "Well, this is indeed an opportunity, I heard that Kurad's army did not return to Prado, but sailed to the Straits of the Stars, it seems that he is going to take the fire in one fell swoop and dominate the north." ”
As soon as Cedric's words fell, there was a burst of footsteps, and Izzy hurriedly looked towards the door, only to see eight men in black with long swords running in, all dressed up, and the leader took a step forward, raised his long sword and pointed at everyone, "Hey, boys, your plan has failed, if you want to live, keep the money." ”
The man said sarcastically, as Izzy looked up at Cedric in confusion, "Who are these?"
Cedric only shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know. Just as Izzy was about to touch his hand to the long knife, suddenly the tall mercenary of the Order behind Cedric pulled out his long sword and pointed it at Izzy.
"These are the people I found, and I've told Kurad about your plans. ”
As soon as the tall man's voice fell, the short man looked at him suspiciously, "What? You didn't even consult with me, didn't you say that it was dedicated to Nivendon before?"
"Hey, you two—" Cedric said and was about to turn when the short man drew his sword and put it on Cedric's shoulder.
"It's just a good thing you did. ”
Izzy looked at Cedric in an angry manner, and Cedric just looked at him helplessly. At this moment, suddenly there was another sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of armor shaking. Everyone raised their vigilance and looked towards the door.
A moment later, more than a dozen Coldlight Guards in silver armor ran in and raised their crossbows with arrows ready to aim at everyone in the room, and a Coldlight Guardian who looked like a captain scanned everyone vigilantly.
"Don't move, your plan has been revealed!" Seeing the cold light guards suddenly come in, several black-clothed people immediately turned around, clenching their long swords with both hands, and for a while, a huge murderous aura overflowed in this dilapidated small church.
"This?"
Izzy looked at Cedric suspiciously, Cedric took a deep breath, still shaking his head helplessly, "I didn't report to them when I came. ”
As soon as Cedric's voice fell, the short man hurriedly took over, "Is it the same citizen we saw during the day, he reported it." The short man whispered.
"What? Cedric, you idiot"
Izzy looked at Cedric in annoyance, but saw that Cedric was still spreading his hands, indicating innocence, "Hey, it's not my fault, I'm just afraid of attracting attention at night, and I only hide in that person's house during the day." Cedric argued.
At this moment, seven or eight men in shabby shirts and simple leather armor were tied to some of the joints of their bodies, armed with short swords, and ran in, looking like a group of unruly mercenaries.
After they came in, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, and the Cold Light Guards who were sandwiched in the middle retreated to the side with short crossbows in their hands, forming a three-way confrontation situation for a while.
"Tell me, who the hell is this?" Izzy rubbed his face helplessly, and Cedric looked towards the door, only to see that one of those people was the same civilian he had seen during the day.
Seeing the familiar face, Cedric didn't care about the situation in front of him, he waved his hand and greeted him, "Hey, what are you doing here?" ”
At this time, the civilian also saw Cedric, he nervously held the short sword, and stood in front of the black-clothed man and the Coldlight Guard, "We are looking for you to borrow some money, and by the way, we will see what is cheap." The civilian said loudly, sweat on his forehead from the tense atmosphere.
"Cedric, is there a bigger surprise for me in a moment. ”
Izzy said angrily, but just as he was finishing, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door. In a moment, Tiara walked in angrily with four mercenaries of the Order.
"Don't move!"
The Man in Black and the Coldlight Guardian shouted at the same time, but Tiara ignored them and walked straight through the crowd to the podium, and for a moment everyone was stunned by her actions. There was a look of incredulity on Izzy's face.
"Tiara?".
Izzy called her name lightly, and was about to say hello to Tiara, but she didn't expect her to slap me in the face, hitting Izzy hard in the face, and several bright red palm prints were imprinted on Izzy's face.
"What are you doing? ”
Tiara looked at Izzy angrily. Cedric on the side moved his head back slightly, leaning towards the short man who was stunned, "Do you see, this one is heavy enough." ”
I saw the short man nodding his head, "Yes......"
"If you don't run quickly, I'll be hurting you for a while"
"yes......"
The short man said, slowly putting down the long sword in his hand, and then the tall man saw this and panicked.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"We can't beat them!" the short man shouted in response.
At this moment, Cedric quickly turned around and pushed the short man away, and when he saw this, the tall man raised his head and shouted.
"Grab the money!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to swing his sword to cut Izzy, when the short man rushed over, stopped him with his body, and ran to the side with his arms.
With this action, a cold light guard accidentally pulled the trigger, and the crossbow bolt quickly knocked over a man in black, and after a while, the people came to their senses, waved their weapons in their hands, and shouted in the small church.
Cedric raised his kick and kicked down a man in black who rushed up, then quickly drew his twin knives and watched the chaotic crowd warily, but no one rushed towards them again. These people brandished weapons against each other, catching and fighting, and for a moment the sound of swords clashing, accompanied by shouts, echoed in the hall. The four mercenaries of the Order brought by Tiara also drew their weapons and stood cautiously around the podium, watching the battle in front of them.
"Tiara......"
Izzy gently rubbed her slightly hot cheeks and looked at Tiara unnaturally. Tiara, on the other hand, looked at him expressionlessly, with eyes as bright as stars, revealing a deep hatred.
"Where did you go, and why did you come back?"
Izzy knew that Tiara was angry that he had suddenly said goodbye, and he was about to explain, when Cedric tilted his head to look at Tiara.
"The boss is about to enter the royal family, and the princess has come back with him. ”
Cedric's nonchalant tone made Izzy take a deep breath and look at him, "Thank you for helping me explain, wait a while and see how I clean you up." ”
Izzy said, turning back again, reaching out and gently grabbing Tiara's arm. Unexpectedly, Tiara took a step back and dodged Izzy's hand.
"Don't touch me!"
Seeing Tiara's angry appearance, Izzy had no choice but to smile helplessly, trying to alleviate the embarrassment, "Don't listen to that idiot, nonsense, this is not the place to talk, let's go out and talk about it." ”
Izzy said, waving his hand to the Order's mercenaries, who walked over to the Order, and at Izzy's instructions, they put away their swords and lifted the large chest full of silver coins.
At this time, the battle in the house had entered the white heat, and the sound of cursing, shouting, and the clashing of weapons came and went, touching everyone's tense nerves, looking at the chaos in front of him, Cedric carried his twin knives and turned his head to look at Izzy.
"Boss, how are we going to get out?"
Izzy pondered for a moment, and seeing that there was no other way out around him, his face sank.
"Get out there. ”
"Good idea......
Cedric said, carefully carrying his twin knives and walking in front of everyone.
The people in the church were fighting fiercely, completely oblivious to Izzy and the others. They cautiously walked through the chaotic crowd, when a mercenary was kicked by the Coldlight Guard, the mercenary covered his abdomen and retreated, inadvertently bumping into Cedric's arms, Cedric stared at it, it was the civilian he saw during the day, and he smiled when he saw this.
"How's it going?"
"This..."
The civilian panicked and was about to raise the short sword in his hand, when Cedric slammed into it, and the civilian immediately fainted to the ground.
In this way, without any hindrance, Izzy and the others silently walked out of the chaotic church with a whole box of silver coins......
