Chapter 43: Kevin takes over
The temperature has been very high recently, and it is indeed a difficult thing to queue up on the streets in the afternoon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but even so, as a regular army brought by the city lord, it is still a big joke to faint from heat stroke.
In normal times, the guards were not well trained and their level was uneven, but now that there was a sudden event, the city lord pulled everyone out to put on a scene, and the scene turned out to be really good, and even the ambassador had a smile in his eyes. Kevin and the others on the side couldn't help but look at it with disdain in their eyes, no matter how bad Kevin was, he was trained by the recruits, and now he was standing upright.
"Carry people away!" The city lord's face was not good, but it was inconvenient to directly reprimand his own people in front of outsiders.
The priest came out directly from behind: "I can treat the heat stroke, come and carry it to me!"
"No need," the lord waved his hand, "we can do it ourselves." As he spoke, the fainted soldier had been dragged down. This kind of person who directly disgraces the city lord is also a scum character, and in this kind of troubled times, I am afraid that the ending will be ......
The priest shook his head and habitually made a cross on his chest: "Oh, may the God of Creation bless him." ”
The ambassador spoke: "It's hot today, and neither of us can reach a consensus, so let's put it on hold for now." It also allows our wounded to recover a little. ”
"Okay," the city lord could only agree, if he stood a little longer, and someone on his side fainted, the joke would be even greater, "I'll be here today first, but this matter is very important." I will wait tomorrow in the City Lord's Mansion, hoping that the ambassador will give me an answer as soon as possible. ”
The ambassador smiled and nodded: "I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the city lord jumped, a fat man jumped into the carriage and waved his hand: "Let's go! Goodbye, ambassador!"
"Goodbye, city lord!" the ambassador was also polite.
Immediately, the ambassador watched the city lord's brigade leave like a tide. In the eyes of Kevin and the others, it seemed to be a farce, and they didn't understand why this city lord had called a large number of people to come over.
However, the ambassador still warned everyone not to take each other too lightly. After all, this is the opponent's territory, and if one person faints, it doesn't mean that there are no masters in the army. The city lord of this city doesn't look like a big fat man, but he is actually a 7th-order warrior with a green fighting spirit. From the perspective of class, it is the same level as the ambassador, which should not be underestimated.
Being the lord of the city in a chaotic place, no matter how stupid he is, he will not be too incompetent, otherwise he will be killed a long time ago. The commander of the security department doesn't seem to have much ability, but in fact, he has survived here until now, which is a kind of ability in itself. At this stage, Lou Baole has no intention of engaging in a head-on conflict with the border, and is not satisfied with the current national policy, so it only sends assassins, rather than an upright army to press in.
The country of Leibozier may also have seen the reluctance of the country of Lou Pauler to go to war, and began to act a little presumptuous. As an ambassador, this requires reconciliation and is quite cumbersome. This assassin incident, if handled properly, then the other party should be shocked, and the behavior will be restrained. But if it is not handled properly, the other party will think that Lou Baole's retaliation methods are nothing more than that, and they will be more presumptuous in the future.
Little Spoon pondered for a moment: "It's really not good, let's go and assassinate the city lord!" Ambassador, who do you think is stronger, you or the city lord?"
Before the ambassador could speak, Kevin hurriedly stopped: "Don't! You are declaring war between the two countries." ”
Little Spoon whispered, "What's wrong with declaring war?"
There was silence for a while, and the ambassador just smiled, which seemed to him to be nothing more than a child's speech. Kevin wanted to say something, but he felt that it was too complicated, and there was an ambassador on the side, so it was inconvenient to elaborate, so he could only be silent. Others are even less likely to express their opinions.
"Let's wait for him to wake up. Again, the ambassador replied.
So he waited until the evening, and halfway through, Xiao Spoon was still asking the ambassador and the city lord who was the best? The ambassador could only answer, he didn't know! But in the city lord's territory, he basically had no chance of winning. Even if the city lord is killed, other masters will soon come. No matter how small the country is, it is also a country.
In the evening, Lo Lou finally woke up, and his first reaction was, he didn't die?
Everyone went up to shake hands with him one after another, and they were also excited. Kevin and the others are also experiencing the life and death test of their companions for the first time, and they are all happy that he can survive.
The priest came over and repeated some of the doctor's instructions to rest every day and not to use force for three months, and Lauri nodded in agreement.
Kevin also briefly recounted what happened after Lauri fainted, and Lauri couldn't help but look at him differently: "No wonder I'm still alive, I'm really worthy of being the author, ha, cough!" I wanted to laugh, but I didn't expect to affect my internal organs, and I couldn't help coughing.
"Although you are not feeling well now, after all, you are the person in charge of this operation," replied the ambassador, "and there are some things that you must decide!"
Laulu was silent for a moment, and began to narrate in a somewhat weak voice: "The information we received from the Kingdom Army at the beginning, the identity of the person who attacked Kevin and the others in the Poison Forest that day is not clear. Although they wear the Purple Gold Mercenary Group badge, the Purple Gold Mercenary Group refuses to recognize them as their own. This situation is not without precedent, and it is likely that people from abroad have mixed in with the Purple Gold Mercenary Group badge. ”
"Due to the self-contained system of the mercenary group, the anti-counterfeiting ability of the mercenary badge is also seriously insufficient, and the mercenaries often fight to the death, and the personnel are relatively chaotic and difficult to control. This aspect has always been a loophole in the checkpoint," Lauru sighed, "Foreigners want to blend into Moseye City, as long as they are of the same race, it is not difficult to tell the truth. And it coincided with the melee between Zijin and Menghui, not to mention outsiders, sometimes even their own head of the regiment couldn't tell which one was their own. ”
"At that time, the Dragon Eagle troops carefully analyzed the scene of the battle area, and retrieved the fragments, footprints, smells and other traces scattered during the battle. Judging by the fact that there may have been nine people present. And not the 8 people Kevin said. Lauri continued.
Kevin didn't express surprise either, his face was calm, as if he had expected something.
"The ninth man never showed up, but he must have watched the battle from the sidelines. "I then investigated his scent and lost a trace of him by the waterhole in the Poison Forest." But after coming to the country of Lybzier, he found something in the security office. ”
The ambassador frowned: "This one is a little strange, as far as I know. After the incident, the whole city was under martial law and went out rigorously. Even if he gets rid of your scent tracking, how does he get out of the country?"
"I don't know. "I just got the smell information here, and I investigated the household registration office here that night." Tried to find information about several other deceased, but unfortunately, the account here is too messy for me to understand. ”
"Later, I asked Xiao Jiu to use the charm technique to charm a lieutenant. It has always been planned in the barracks, trying to send people to infiltrate the territory of Lou Baole and provoke some incidents. The specific lieutenant is not very clear, it may be that the rank is not enough. "The next day we tried to go to the Chief of Security to find out more about the situation, but it didn't ......"
"I was careless," Laulu reflected to himself, "and as soon as I got up the walls, I felt that something was not right with the magical aura. Hurriedly retreated, but it was too late. I hurriedly used the Shield of the Wall and the Petrified Skin to double block, but ...... Alas, I didn't know anything after that. ”
The ambassador interjected on the side: "The opponent's city wall circle is the introduction of the formation technology of the Lane Empire, called the Flame Killing Blade Array. The array is carved into a huge carpet and only requires three suitable magic crystals to activate, without even the presence of a mage, and it is extremely fast. When the formation is activated, it will rush out of the pillar of flames hundreds of meters above, and the flames are mixed with a blast of wind that is sharper than the blade. ”
"This kind of formation can also be hung vertically on the city wall, and launching the formation is equivalent to a cannon blasting out. Although it is already a semi-obsolete military technology for the Ryan Empire, its power is still not to be underestimated. However, this array is only a one-time one-time and costs millions of gold coins. The ambassador also smiled, "It's a blessing that the other party used this kind of thing and didn't kill you yet." ”
"Laulu uses magic to protect us," said the little spoon helping, "otherwise it stands to reason that it is best to wrap himself in vindictiveness, and to get away quickly." ”
Laulu just smiled: "Where did you think so much at that time. When the formation is activated, it is almost a brain, and the magic defense is launched. Ha ha...... Ahem. ”
As he spoke, a soldier came in from outside the door and saluted the ambassador: "Hello ambassador, I am the herald of the city lord. ”
"Yes. The ambassador nodded.
The herald replied: "Our lord of the city said that since the wounded have woken up. That's better to settle the matter as soon as possible, our city lord hopes that the ambassador can go to the city lord's mansion tomorrow. Of course, there are also a few dignitaries from Lou Pauler. ”
Kevin and the others glanced at each other, obviously the other party had eyeliner, and as soon as Lauri woke up, they knew it immediately. But this is the other party's territory, and it's normal to have eyeliner.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll visit the city lord. The ambassador replied.
The herald nodded, and then saluted and went back.
The ambassador looked at the herald and shook his head: "Father, we will stay in the church tonight." It's very troublesome to get this thing right, I've already asked for help from home, and there should be a master coming over soon. ”
"Master?" the little spoon was stunned, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't continue.
"Let's rest today. The ambassador said casually, and simply sat on the bench again, closed his eyes and meditated.
Laulu also lay down again, and Kevin quietly leaned over: "Laulu, you are a little unkind." ”
"This ......" Laulu was slightly embarrassed.
"Since you're in this direction, don't tell me. Why did you find a few corpses from somewhere and pinch my ass?" Kevin shook his head, "One of them is still a rotten ass." ”
"This ...... I can only say I'm sorry," Laulu expressed frustration, "you're still a rookie after all, and there are some things that I don't really want you to be involved in." Including Jack too. This is what we Assassins do, and we ask for your understanding. ”
Kevin didn't dwell on it too much, and changed the subject: "There is a mastermind behind this matter, and when Xiao Jiu charmed that officer, he obviously fell into the trap of the other party." The next day you burst in in the middle of the night, and it became predictable, so you set a trap. And I'm afraid they also deliberately injured and didn't kill them, the purpose was to let the two of them escape, and then make peace with us, and finally catch them all. ”
Laulu also had to nod in agreement at this time: "You said that the mastermind behind the scenes is General Heitland of the Empire?"
"I'm talking nonsense," Kevin could only say again, "but no matter what, we'd better find out who is behind this trip." He was hiding behind the portrait, but if we went again, it would have been gone, or there was a trap waiting for us. ”
Laulu was silent, as if he was also thinking.
"Actually, is the purpose of your trip really to find out the truth?" Kevin asked quietly, "To be honest, several of the people who attacked us at that time were all armed with smuggling weapons, and the mercenaries here were all with them, and theoretically, the mercenaries also need to be strictly investigated." You don't seem to mention it, though. ”
"Don't talk nonsense. Laulu glanced left and right.
"Think about it another way," Kevin whispered, "if the truth is found out, this ninth person is just an ordinary creep, or a garbage mercenary." With so many of us coming, isn't it a lot of work?"
Laulu: "......"
"Well, you have your way," Kevin didn't dare to say too much, just looked back to confirm a little, "Is the ninth person you are talking about, really exist?"
"Absolutely. Lauri replied.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" replied Laulou firmly. At this time, the voices of the two were very small, although they might not be able to hide from the ambassador, or high-end assassins such as Little Spoon, but Jack, the priest, the nun and the like should not be able to hear it.
Kevin nodded and stood up: "Then I ask for the permission to mobilize Xiao Spoon and Xiao Jiu, I want to try to do some of my investigation." Just tonight. ”
"What do you want to look for?" asked Laulou.
"Find out the truth. Kevin replied.
"Are you sure?" asked Laulou.
"Nope. Kevin spread his hands, "It's impossible for anyone to be sure before they check." Unless he's done looking it out and getting the results. will be sure. ”
The ambassador also opened his eyes, glanced at Laurus, and finally came to an agreement: "Okay." Protect Kevin on the road, be careful!"
