Chapter 19: The City of Aesop

Aesop is not very far from Felton, only about seven days away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Karl was buying some dry food and necessities at the market and was about to hit the road, when he suddenly saw several large horse-drawn carriages next to the market.

It seemed to be the so-called passenger carriage, which Carl knew, but only the rich could afford to sit on.

But now that he is rich, Karl rummaged through the thirty silver coins in his pocket, and ten gold coins in the ring, which Master Rodney gave him in advance on the grounds that he would not receive a subsidy in the guild for at least two months.

"How much is Aesop?" asked Karl as he walked over to a carriage and to a coachman.

"Aesop 10 silver coins, 5 people set off, five days to arrive, food and drink their own. The coachman pointed to the four young men and women standing beside him, "It just so happens that they are also going to Aesop, and they are gathering people, aren't they together?"

10 silver coins, Carl pondered for a moment, and felt that it was acceptable.

So he agreed.

on the carriage.

Three young men, two men and one woman, sat together, discussing in a low voice, and from time to time took out some manuscript paper from their backpacks and gestured, while another young man in a power suit and a short bow closed his eyes and rested.

Carl felt bored, and took a copy of Pache copied the wind bullet notes to read, but it was a little bumpy, and he couldn't meditate.

Some of the books Carl took out of the fragments in advance and put them in the spatial ring, so that he could flip through them at any time.

The young man with the short bow noticed Karl's movements, opened his eyes and glanced at him, as if surprised.

The carriage stops at noon to rest, and the five people in the carriage will come out to blow the wind, and there is a post station on the road, and the carriage stops in the post station at night, and you can go in to rest.

Only beds and plank beds are provided, and the cost is included in the carriage fare.

Karl sat on the bed preparing to meditate, and the young man with the short bow accosted him, "Where are you from, from the academy? I don't think I've seen you." ”

"Nope. Carl shook his head, "What about you?"

"I'm from La Verne. The young man put down the short bow and luggage he was carrying, "My name is Parker, a second-year student at La Verne College, a bronze archer, and I have just finished my year-end mission. ”

"My name is Carl, a wild magician. Carl also introduced himself.

"You're kidding, magicians are wild. Parker chatted as he took out pine oil to maintain the bowstring.

Carl touched his nose, he must be considered semi-wild.

The other three young men had just walked out of the room with some things, and Carl was a little curious, "Do you know what those three do?"

Parker listened for a moment, as if he was paying attention to something: "Hmm...... Three musicians, no, musicians. ”

"Oh?" Karl was surprised, "did you hear anything?"

"They're rehearsing outside the inn, let's go, let's go and listen together. Parker had just finished his weapon maintenance and picked it up again.

Music, Carl remembered the flute and pamphlet that Carol had given him, but unfortunately they were left in the caravan in his luggage, and he didn't know if he could find them.

"Let's go. Carl jumped out of bed.

Outside the station, three young people were playing intently, one of them was playing the violin with her eyes closed, the tall blonde youth was playing the cheerful lute, and the other was a somewhat powerful brown-haired young man sitting on a stool and playing the big tire.

There were also quite a few people in the inn who were attracted to it.

Cheerful music beats to a cheerful beat, conveying joyful emotions to the people around them, like rushing water flowing across a dry riverbed.

Carl couldn't help but subconsciously hum along with the rhythm.

After a few minutes, the music stopped.

The blond-haired youth at the head saluted the crowd: "Down there is Olivier, the head of the Ode to the Wind Orchestra, you may call me a hunter in search of love and beauty. ”

The white-haired girl who was traveling with her kicked the blonde youth in the leg, kicked him away, and apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's rest, please don't pay attention to Olivier's nonsense." ”

"It's great. "It's fine. "Don't bother. Only then did the onlookers react and said.

Parker asks Olivier, "Are you planning to attend the New Year's Eve festival?"

"That's right, a hundred and fifty-year-old Willant spirit, a beautiful and melancholy aristocratic lady, and a million-dollar painting of Princess Obsidian's 'The Day of the Break', are all my longing targets. Olivier looked intoxicated and talked about the nonsense, but was dragged aside by the short-haired brown young man covering his mouth.

"Don't stop me Mula, I'm ......," the blonde youth struggled.

"I'm sorry. The white-haired girl said to Parker, "Please ignore that blonde fool." ”

"Thank you for your hard work. Parker said sincerely.

"You guys played so well. Karl added.

"Ah, yes, thanks for the compliment. The white-haired girl panicked for a moment and then calmed down, "My name is Shelazard, and I'm a violinist in the orchestra. ”

"My name is Parker, a sophomore at La Verne College. ”

"Carl, a first-class magician. ”

Five days later, after arriving in Aesop, Parker and the Wind's Carol were on a carriage bound for Cárdenas, and Cal decided to look in Aesop to see if there was any news of the Ice Crystal Buckleaf Flower.

If this matter is not solved quickly, I always feel panicked.

Finding a random hotel to stay in, Carl leaned in front of the window and looked up at the starry sky.

If every star in the sky represents a person, how far is your own star from your sister's star?

In this world, you are my only relative, and I will definitely protect you.

Well, I believe you, brother.

The surging crowd separated the two people, her weak hands couldn't hold it, her dim eyes couldn't see, her weak legs couldn't catch up, she could only watch the crowd swallow her up.

But since he didn't die.

That's where you can find it.

Karl spread out his hand, and in the palm of his hand lay a half-missing stone.

The other half of this thing, in Irene's hand.

The Eye of the Stars.

Carl's habit is to open the eyes of the sky when he arrives in a new place.

With the gradual improvement of mental power, the vision of the eye of the stars also began to slowly increase, and today the field of vision is good, and you can see close to 500 meters without adjusting the visual distance.

Slowly expanding, 1000 meters, 2000 meters.

No anomalous ......

Carl suddenly noticed a dark figure scurrying back and forth on the street, it was already late at night, how could there still be people on the street, and they were so sneaky.

Intrigued, Karl focused his gaze on the shadows.

It was a man shrouded in black, with a very nimble body, moving through various shadows, and looking familiar, but in Karl's eyes, he could see it as long as the other party did not hide in the house.

"Chase, don't let that thief run away!" At this time, several angry voices came from behind the man in black.

Several men dressed as mercenaries chased after them.

The man in black did not continue to flee at this time, but hid in a corner.

The mercenaries chased them all the way, and when they passed the hiding place of the man in black, Scarface, who looked like one of the leaders, suddenly looked in the direction where the target was hiding with some alertness.

"He's ......"

The man in black burst out, his dull dagger stabbing at Scarface's neck with a sleek murderous intrigue.

"Look for death!"

Scarface immediately leaned back, and at the same time pulled out the long knife at his waist, and slashed out with a bright silver fighting qi with the extremely short charge of drawing the knife.

Silver-tier warrior.

The black-clothed man's gaze revealed the calmness of death, his body twisted slightly to avoid the vital point, and the dagger glowed with cyan fighting brilliance, and the thorn turned into a slash, cutting through the neck of the scarred face, bringing up a bright red blood line.

The long knife of Scarface also hit the man in black at the same time with a fighting spirit, and the body of the man in black shook violently, and he was hit hard and flew out, and a terrifying huge wound appeared on his body, and the blood gushing out dyed the black clothes dark red.

The man in black fell to the ground, endured the pain with his hands, and with the force of his feet, he rushed into the shadows.

"Quick, cough, chase!" he ......" Scarface yelled, but before he could finish yelling, the blood line on his neck instantly expanded, blocking the rest of his words. Scarface threw himself to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.

Bronze-level assassins assassinate silver-level fighters, killing them in one hit!

Karl watched silently with the eyes of the stars, with a look of admiration on his face, it is not a simple matter to challenge the next level, at the beginning, the five bronze high-ranking fog demon assassins besieged Xia Zuo, who was in the middle of the silver position, and was only killed in an instant. Although the difference in strength between this man in black and Scarface should not be as big as the gap between the Fog Demon Assassin and Xia Zuo, it is one-on-one to kill the opponent's leader in the opponent's crowd.

This kind of thing.

Difficult.

"Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander is dead!" the other mercenaries looked at each other in panic.

That thief was hit by the deputy commander, and now he is not far from death. A lean mercenary said fiercely.

But his plan was no longer possible.

"Stop!" a bunch of city guards arrived.

"Someone died. A sharp-eyed guard shouted.

"No one is allowed to go!" yelled the Captain of the Guards.

A few mercenaries could only stop helplessly.

The captain of the guard squad ran directly over with a few guards.

"The one who died was Scarface Hunter, the deputy head of the Blood Knife Mercenary Regiment. One of the guards reported.

"Blood Knife?" the Guard Squad Leader gave a hint of hatred, "I see, you guys, come with me." ”

"Why! Our deputy head was killed. The mercenary dissatisfied.

"I'll have someone go after the murderer, but you guys, come with me. ”

The captain of the guard turned to his men and said, "You five, go find the murderer, the others, and I will take these bastards with blood knives away." ”

"If you dare, our head will settle accounts with you!"

"Bloody Blade Les dares to come to our city guard headquarters, let him come!"

Did the Blood Knife Mercenary Group do anything angry and resentful?

Even the city guards are so extreme.

"Why are you targeting us so much, Captain?" one of the mercenaries asked loudly.

"Why? My brother is in the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Regiment. The squad leader gave the mercenary a slap in the face.

The mercenaries were suddenly silenced, with a panicked look in their eyes, and two of them tried to escape, but were knocked unconscious by the team leader.

After the man in black hid again, he trembled and took out a red test tube, pulled out the plug of the test tube, poured the liquid inside into his mouth, and then took out a plaster and wanted to stick it to the wound on his flank, but he trembled and couldn't hold the handle accurately, and he stumbled under his feet, fell to the ground, and fainted. The bleeding from the wound was reduced by the healing potions, but it continued to flow.

"Did you find it?"

"Nope. ”

"Neither did I. ”

"The assassin must have run away, let's go. ”

"Let's go. ”

The five city guards deliberately ignored the blood stains on the ground that spread deep into the alley, chatted with each other and left.

They didn't have the idea of catching the assassin at all, because if they did, they would definitely be blocked by their boss and scolded in the corner, so it was better to paddle.

Carl opened his eyes helplessly, this man in black is going to die if he doesn't save him, it seems that he is also a person with a story, he shouldn't be a bad person.

Carl pushed the door open, walked out of the inn, and followed the edge of the street and turned the other end into the alley where the man in black had passed out.

The dusty plaster on the ground must not be used, Carl took out a bundle of medical gauze from his ring in advance, helped the man in black up, lifted the hem of his shirt, tied the gauze twice, and successfully stopped the bleeding.

This man in black has a very light body, and his skin is very fair.

Karl touched his chin, then shuddered, and lifted the black veil of the man in black, revealing a pale girlish face.
