【Chapter 31】The Devil's Minions
The remaining mercenaries of the Order, after thinking for a moment, decided to report the news to Izzy and Cedric first, so they put away their long swords and hurriedly ran towards the tavern, the night before dawn was the darkest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The darkness around him frightened and made him nervous. Without stopping for a moment, he came to the tavern and pushed open the wooden door.
Inside, Cedric was alone on the table, snoring faintly, and next to the already empty bottles and glasses. Seeing this, the Order mercenary quickly ran to Cedric's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Sir Cedric. ”
The Order mercenary cautiously called out to Cedric, he understood the importance of the matter and had to tell Cedric, so seeing that Cedric was still not awake, he shook him vigorously and raised his voice, "Master Cedric!".
“...... What?"
Soon, Cedric gradually woke up from his slumber, the corners of his blurry eyes were not fully opened, and he looked at the mercenary of the Order in front of him with a confused expression, "What's the matter? ”
"My lord, Tiara, she ......" the Order's mercenaries told Cedric the truth. After listening to the report of the mercenaries of the Order, he suddenly showed a shocked expression, and he hurriedly got up and ran to Izzy's room in a panic......
The next morning, the sun rose as usual, dispelling the endless darkness in the sky and illuminating the earth. People finished breakfast, walked out of the house, came to their posts, and began a busy day's work. Everything that happened yesterday did not give them any idea. In the lively market, several cold light guards came to the collapsed house, investigated, and after seeing that there was nothing suspicious, they called a few workers to clean up the ruins, as if nothing had happened.
In the tavern, the owner was busy wiping the bar with a rag. In the early morning, there are no guests here, so it seems to be more relaxed. In the empty room, only Izzy and Cedric sat in the corner, eating the food prepared by the boss and talking at the same time, their eyes slightly reddened, obviously not resting well at night.
"Boss, what about Tiara?"
Cedric's expression was a little anxious, obviously worried about Tiara's safety, but Izzy looked calm, holding the bread in his hand, chewing slowly, "I can't have any problems when I meet Nivandon." You must find Tiara before that. ”
"How? Do you want me to find the Cold Light Guards who specialize in investigating missing people?" Izzy's calmness obviously made Cedric even more anxious, and he said urgently, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and he continued, "Boss, I don't have a clue. ”
"Then I don't care, I'll leave this matter to you. "That's Tiara!" Cedric shouted as if to remind him of something. This sudden sound caught the attention of the boss behind the bar, and he looked at them suspiciously, "Do you two need anything?".
At this time, Izzy pushed the plate in front of him, got up, and walked to his room under Cedric's surprised gaze. In Izzy's heart, he knew Tiara's place in his heart and the importance of the matter, but he couldn't find Tiara now, because Yanna next to him needed his own protection, and there were more important things waiting for him to plan......
The boss came to the table lightly, put away the tableware on the table, and looked at Cedric with a smile, "Do you need anything?" At this time, Cedric, who was confused, turned his head to look at the boss, "Do you know the woman who was with us yesterday?" At this time, the boss smiled and nodded, "I know."
Hearing the boss's voice, Cedric grabbed the boss's collar, his sudden action obviously startled him, the cutlery in his hand fell to the ground, and the plate shattered "Tell me where she is?" "Didn't I stay with you yesterday, and then walked out with a few people." The boss replied with a shudder.
"Who are those people?"
"It's just four young men in the same costume as you," Cedric pushed the boss away, shook his head and sighed, "It's really useless." With that, Cedric threw down the still panicked boss and walked out quickly. After a while, the boss relieved himself, silently squatted down to pick up the broken cutlery that had fallen to the ground, and cursed in a low voice, "What a sick bastard......
Shortly after Cedric left, the boss repacked the debris and returned to the bar, when a group of Coldlight Guards walked in, led by a heavily armed woman. She was dressed in a shiny and gorgeous armor, and the chain skirt of her lower body was tightly wrapped around her waist like folded wings. The jet-black hair was scattered behind him, and the cold and serious cheeks and resolute gaze exuded an unstoppable divine momentum.
With the clanging of armor, the Coldlight Guards walked in and closed the door to the tavern. The boss recognized the woman walking in front at a glance, and he hurriedly bent over the bar and walked to the front, "Good morning, Master Kassandrad, what can I do?" The boss greeted her with a smile on his face, and at the same time stood in front of her cautiously.
"Has anyone been here these days?"
"Yes, every day, and in constant streams. ”
Kassalon heard the boss's answer, and sighed helplessly, "I said it was suspicious!" She asked seriously again, and the boss scratched his head and thought for a moment, "It's quite suspicious." ”
As soon as the boss's voice fell, before Kassanrad could ask again, the cold light guard on the side immediately glared at the boss angrily, and stepped forward to push him hard, if there was no bar behind him, he was afraid that he would sit on the ground with his ass, "Hey! Something useful, this is Lord Kassalon." ”
Hearing the cold light guard's sharp reprimand, the boss nodded in a panic. Seeing this, Kassalon asked again, "Is there a suspicious mercenary of the Order living here?" Hearing Kassalond's question, the boss suddenly realized, "Oh, if you had said that earlier, I would have understood." The boss smiled as he pointed to Izzy's room.
"Something useful. ”
After Kassalon finished speaking, he walked to the room that the boss was referring to, and the rest of the Coldlight Guards followed, leaving only the bewildered boss standing in place.
Without waiting for Kassalon's command, the Coldlight Guards immediately came to the sides of the room, leaned against the wall with their well-trained training, and softly drew the long sword at their waist, waiting for Kassalon's order. After a moment, Kassanrad nodded silently and reached out to clench his fist.
Seeing this, the Coldlight Guard, who was leaning on the left side of the door, clenched his long sword, turned around and kicked the door open with a force, and before he could see the situation inside, he rushed in shouting, but the shouting stopped in the blink of an eye. The rest of the Cold Light Guards, not knowing what was happening in the house, hurriedly rushed in, but the scene in front of them made them stop as well.
I saw Izzy holding the long knife in one hand, pointing at the cold light guard who rushed into the house first, and the sharp blade was against his neck, as if as long as his body moved slightly, the cold blade would instantly cut through his throat. Yeonna, on the other hand, hid behind Izzy, revealing half of her pink face, nervously watching everything in front of her.
"Lay down your arms ......"
As soon as a cold light guard shouted half a sentence, Kassalon, who walked into the house, patted his shoulder gently, and the cold light guards on both sides immediately got out of the way, only the cold light guard standing in front of the long knife did not dare to move easily, and nervous sweat gradually flowed down from his forehead.
"Relax, Izzy. ”
Kassalon said softly, expressionless. However, Izzy remained unmoved, his scarred face looked at Kassalon solemnly, like a bloodthirsty maniac who refused to surrender. "You're going to arrest me and let me relax? Kassalon, we've known each other for a long time, let's talk about it. Izzy said calmly and slowly.
At this time, Kassalon grabbed the coldlight guards who were coerced in front of him, pulled them back, and waved their hands, and the coldlight guards hurriedly walked out and closed the door. For a moment, there were only three of them left in the room, but the tension did not subside, and Izzy still maintained the direction of the long knife, pointing directly at Kassalon in front of him.
Kassalon naturally walked over to the chair in the room and sat down, "Izzy, I just want to talk to you. "Talk, Master Kassandrad, you don't look like you're here to gossip. Izzy smiled sarcastically and slowly withdrew the long knife, while Yeona remained tightly behind Izzy, silently staring at the woman in front of her.
Hearing Izzy's words, Kassalonad sighed helplessly, "No way, in order to find you, I met a lot of mercenaries and bandits by mistake." I think these pests may have something to do with you. With that, Kassalon moved his gaze to the large box in the corner of the room.
At this time, Izzy turned around and patted Yanna gently, signaling that she would be okay, and then sat down on the bed gently. "Who doesn't like to take advantage of them, it's just a pity that they're looking for the wrong target. ”
"What are you doing here with this huge amount of money?" Kassalond said bluntly.
"To Lord Nevandon. ”
Izzy said with a smile on his face, but Kassanrad looked at him with the same eyes, hesitated for a moment, and Kassalon's expression became serious, "Don't lie to me, you stingy boy." ”
"Kassalond, why are you always so sophisticated, it seems that you are not a few years older than me, it is possible that I am still older than you. "Once when Izzy was still in Tyre, he was often able to meet Kassalon because of the tasks he had commissioned. But the relationship between the two is not very familiar, and Kassalon is always on top, which makes him not want to get acquainted with her.
Kassalon didn't speak, staring at Izzy intently with stern eyes, which made him feel a chill to the bone, and after a moment of silence, Izzy sighed softly.
"Well, this money is indeed going to be given to Lord Nivandon, and I have something to ask for. ”
"Continue"
Kassanrad gestured with his hand raised. "I want to borrow some men from Lord Nivedon to solve the crisis in the north. ”
"What crisis?"
"Kurad the Brutal ......"
"Childish!"
As soon as Izzy said Kurad's name, he was sharply interrupted by Kassanrad.
"Kurad is so powerful that all the lords dare not offend him, do you think Lord Nevedon will make a bad deal with him because of this money? ”
"That's just for the other lords, but now for Lord Nevandon, it's an opportunity to clear the north, and if you miss it, it may lead to the destruction of Silver Spirit City. ”
As soon as Izzy's words fell, Kassalon immediately glared, and his resolute face seemed to be covered with frost and murderous aura, "Izzy, be careful with your own words, why do you think that Kurad will attack Silver Spirit City without any evidence." ”
"Once Agni thought so, and the result can be imagined. Could it be that the indecisive and self-proclaimed clever guy can avoid the merciless devouring of this demon?"
"Izzy!"
Kassalond's quick thinking saw what Izzy was implicit, and she shouted angrily. At this time, Izzy was no longer calm, a pair of narrow eyes like willow leaves, looked at Kassalonad without evasion, and the moment the four eyes met, the murderous aura overflowed in the room, and couldn't help but make Yanna scared, she sat behind Izzy and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes with her small hand.
Izzy felt Yeonna's worry behind him, and his heart calmed down again, and he took a deep breath, his fiery gaze gradually eased. "Kassalon, I can confess everything to you, but you have to trust me. ”
"It depends on how credible what you say. Kassalon said coldly, still expressionless.
"If you don't trust me, at least after you arrest me, keep this girl behind me safe. ”
Hearing Izzy's serious words, Kassanrad looked at Yanna, who was a little frightened behind Izzy, no different from a frightened little girl, and Kassanrad nodded, "I've never been interested in innocent people, you know that, go on, Izzy." ”
After seeing Kassandrad's agreement, Izzy truthfully told Kassandrad about his plan and explained the stakes between Nevedon and Kurad. Although some things are exaggerated, the effect makes his words more real, and the expected things will come as if they were real.
Hearing this, although Kassalon was somewhat skeptical, he told it reasonably, and finally Kassalon relaxed her vigilance, she shook her head slightly, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and there was unconcealable helplessness on her white face.
"It's a pity you're late. ”
"What do you mean?"
After Kassalon finished speaking, Izzy looked at her suspiciously, and hurriedly asked. "Meneuz has come to Silver Spirit City, so Nevedon won't be meeting you for the time being. ”
"Meneuz, explain, what's going on?" said Izzy, confused, apparently unsure of who Meneuz was.
Meneuz is a middle-aged man who is said to be a distant relative of the white-haired Citis, but he has always been cunning and greedy, so he is not reused. But he didn't make any big mistakes. Therefore, when he was young, he was sent to Prado by King White-haired Six, hoping that he could be further trained under the hands of Curad.
After the Third Continental Council, Meneuz, who was an ordinary officer, was reactivated by Kurad, and was once promoted to the commander of the army and the general manager of Prado, in other words, in addition to Kurad in Prado, he had the final say. And this time, he took a small number of people to the Silver Spirit City, and under the hospitality of Nivandon, he lived here every day without any scruples.
“...... That's it, Meneuz has been here for a long time. ”
Hearing Kassalon's introduction, Izzy nodded silently, "This can explain why there are so many bandits in the city." ”
After Izzy finished speaking calmly, Kassalond looked at him puzzled, "This filthy bastard knows how to spend a lot of money every day, eat, drink and be merry, do nothing, and don't know what he's going to do. ”
"He's spying on Nevandon, at least until Kurad breaches the Straits of the Stars, so that our Lord Nevendon won't act rashly, and I'm sure the bandits in the city will have something to do with him. ”
Izzy remembered the conversation he had heard in the chapel earlier, which is why he answered in such a positive assertion.
"So what do we do?"
Kassalon changed his attitude and asked Izzy. At this time, Izzy laughed softly, and there was a somewhat smug expression on his face. "What's the matter, doesn't Lord Kassalon distrust me, why do you still ask me. Looking at his smug look, Kassalon snorted in disgust, "At least you're more trustworthy than that bastard Meneuz." ”
"Kassalond, today you are going to send someone to keep me safe, and tomorrow you will come here to pick me up, and I will meet with Lord Nevedon in person. Izzy said without questioning, but Kassalon fell silent, and after a moment of thought, she looked up at Izzy, "You have to promise me that you will not hurt Lord Nevandon." As soon as Kassalonade finished speaking, he saw the corners of Izzy's mouth curl up slightly.
"Do you think I'm going to be your opponent?" asked Izzy with a smile, proving that he wouldn't be foolish, and Kassalon nodded silently. She got up and walked to the door, but was about to go out when she was stopped by Izzy's voice.
"Kassalond......".
"What?"
"Help me get Cedric back. ”
"Why don't you go yourself. ”
"I'm too lazy to move around, sorry for your trouble, thank you. ”
Izzy said as he sat down on the bed, yawning heavily and stretching.
"Humph......"
Looking at Izzy's scoundrel appearance, Kassalonad snorted again in disgust and walked out without looking back. She knew in her heart that although she hated these self-righteous mercenaries of the Order, she could only deal with them now to ensure the future of Silver Spirit City......
