Chapter 53: Antecedents and Consequences
The next morning, our group was about to return to the mercenary camp to report the trip to Commander Carlo, but Jack and Jill said goodbye to us and did not travel with us again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, Jack said to me: "My black blade and Roy are a little damaged after the first battle, and I am going to repair it at Hank's, and then I have to go to see the woman I love the most, I haven't seen her in a long time, that's it, boy, let's separate here!" But Jill "stabbed" him in the back again: "Actually, you know that you have no clues and can't catch Roy, so you give up, right?" "You're so talkative!" Jack began to scold again in annoyance... In short, after saying goodbye to the "JJ group", we rode the dragon bird on the way home.
On the way back I had been thinking about how to report Bard's death to Captain Carlo, and it was too heavy a topic for me!
After a long day of galloping on the dragon bird, we finally arrived at the mercenary camp in the evening. I entered Captain Caro's tent with Deputy Head Dolly, and I began to report the trip to them in detail.
"Yes, is Bard dead in battle? It seems that there will be one less person who can drink with me in the future~" Deputy Head Dolly said lonely, "He sometimes doesn't speak very well, but he is actually quite good." ”
"I'm sorry, but I didn't have enough strength to protect everyone as the captain, and as a result, Bard sacrificed his own life..."I said guiltily.
Commander Carlo patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't blame yourself too much, Chris, Bard is a real warrior who fought until the last moment. Although the law of the desert says that you must rely on yourself in everything, sometimes in order to take into account the overall situation and the interests of the whole, it is necessary for people with a spirit of self-sacrifice to stand up. ”
I nodded, lowered my head, and held back the tears that I wanted to shed, and the scenes from Bud's past training with me came to my mind one by one, and it made me feel very uncomfortable.
"We're going to have a big funeral for Bard tomorrow in honor of our A-class marksmanship instructor. Captain Carlo said slowly.
"As for the Seven Dead Apostles you mentioned, we don't have any information about them, if they can easily defeat the necromancers and Bard in the City of the Dead, then their strength should not be underestimated, this should be an elite squad, just like our first mercenary squad. Deputy Head Dolly diverted the topic, as if he didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy and depressing everyone.
"Well, I'll have our intelligence agents focus on searching for information about them. These people are cruel and a great threat to this desert region, and I will join forces with other mercenary groups to fight against them, causing us to lose a good mercenary!" said Captain Carlo angrily.
"Captain Carlo, do you know who the eldest brother has a deep grudge with? Finn, the leader of the Seven Deads, seems to have a deep relationship with him. Neil, who had not spoken a word beside him, suddenly asked Captain Carlo.
"Well, Roy used to have an enemy named Finn, and your eldest brother had a purpose in addition to earning commissions during his time as a mercenary with us, which was to look for him, and it seems that this person once killed Roy's best comrades, so Roy gritted his teeth every time he mentioned it, and seemed to hate him quite a lot. "But two years ago, Roy told me that he had finally killed this man and had a great revenge, and since then he has saved a lot of commissions, so he finally left my mercenary group and lived a normal life with you." ”
"That's right, the eldest brother usually hides it so deeply, he never mentioned it to us, but it seems that the man named Finn is not dead, because now he has sent the Seven Dead Apostles to hunt down the eldest brother. "I'm starting to understand a little bit of what happened.
"Yes, do you remember that Principal Akers invited the eldest brother to be a guest? After that, the eldest brother behaved strangely, and then he left home for a while before coming back, and he was covered in bruises, it should be that Principal Ax had the news that Finn was still alive, and he specially told the eldest brother, as for why he knew that the eldest brother hated Finn to the core, this is difficult to figure out. In short, the eldest brother should have left home those days to confirm whether the news was true, and finally after confirming that Finn was still alive, he tried to sneak attack and kill him, but only injured this person, and caused the Seven Dead Apostles to chase him down, leaving him bruised and bruised. Neil's series of reasoning can't help but convince us of his analysis, which should be the truth of the facts.
"So, your eldest brother joined the mysterious organization to steal the Ultimate Wind Dragonstone for them, and then risked being petrified to find the Ultimate Earth Dragonstone, and it is likely that he will need to use the power of this mysterious organization to fight against the Seven Dead Apostles and Finn, or that their common enemies are these people. Judging from the tone and demeanor of your eldest brother who doesn't want you to be involved, he wants to protect you, and that person named Finn is not very powerful, and there are many dangerous subordinates like the Seven Dead Apostles. Link stood next to him with his hands on his chest and began to analyze seriously, and what he said made sense.
"No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to take him down! Not just for Big Brother, but also for Bard, who died in vain, and I get angry at the thought of the Seven Dead Apostles, and I must catch one of them and ask Finn about his whereabouts. I said, and at the same time I thought of the "Witch of the Sky" Irene, it would be nice to catch her, so that even her origin can be asked clearly, and the question in my heart will be solved, but the other party will teleport, I guess it won't be so easy to catch her... By the way, there is also the "Wind Shooter" Tina, I guess Link also has a lot to ask her, right?
"Be careful, after all, the Seven Dead Apostles are the ones who can beat the eldest brother all over the body, the last time we attacked us in the City of the Dead, it was only a part of the members, although one was eliminated by Jack, but I still don't know their confidence, maybe there are more powerful people!" Anne also said next to her.
"Anne is right, let's be fully prepared before we act!" Alan and Emma agreed with Anne.
"If we want to see the eldest brother again, there are two ways to go, one is to find Finn through the group of Seven Dead Apostles, I believe that the eldest brother also wants to find him, but this road is very dangerous, none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, there will definitely be a fierce battle. The other way is to continue to look for the Ultimate Dragonstone, because the eldest brother and their organization must also be looking for a new Ultimate Dragonstone, according to Nikolai, the Extreme Fire Dragonstone is in the volcanic area, it should be in a volcano in the province of Ketc..."
"Hey, you'd better save it, you will never be able to go the second way, if you value your life, don't go there!" Captain Caro interrupted Neil unceremoniously.
"Why?" we all asked in unison, what was it that scared the well-informed Captain Carlo, who had never been so nervous when he told us about the City of the Dead?
"You're looking for the Ultimate Fire Dragonstone, right? That legend is the most widespread, everyone knows that it is hidden in the volcanoes of Klut Province, but no one has managed to pass through it for hundreds of years, and countless S-class warriors have been burned by the flames, because the dragon guards there are so powerful that they are not of the same magnitude as any enemy you have ever come into contact with! In short, I don't approve of you going there, unless all of you are above the level of S, you will be looking for death if you go there!"
"Woo, it's terrifying, it seems that it's better to give up this method, even the S-class warriors have lost their lives in the past, let's not mix it up!" Emma muttered to Anne in a low voice.
I scratched my head, I really couldn't have anything like Bud again, I didn't want to lose any of my buddies again.
"Let's concentrate on searching for the Seven Dead Apostles, although Nikolai only gave us three clues about the Ultimate Dragonstone, we can try our luck elsewhere, and maybe make new discoveries. I said to everyone.
"Well, that's fine, it takes a little more time, but it's the safest way to do it. Neil nodded in agreement, "We can keep an eye out for anything unusual near the border station in Pazm Province, there is a strict magical barrier set up, teleportation is not needed, only walk over, big brother and Principal Ax have any troubles we should be able to know their movements, so it's better to rest now and wait quietly!"
"Yes, improving your strength is the most important thing, you go back and have a good rest first, and then we will discuss anything later!" said Captain Caro, and then he and Deputy Commander Dolly sent us out of his tent and watched us walk into the camp in the night...
