Chapter 128: Uncle Guard, It's That Skeleton
The night is always deep and lazy, and when the sun sets, everything begins to recuperate, except for those nocturnal creatures, such as cats, or a certain author. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of the day, most people are always tired, but it is undoubtedly a kind of happiness to go home and drink a glass of ale beer with bread or roast meat to drive away the heat. Augustus's developed magic technology has given it the title of "the city that never sleeps", with bright lights and rich material desires. The oppression during this period of time made Augustus more noisy at night than before, and the city administrators did not have any restrictions on this, but they actually needed a little space to indulge and vent their inner depression.
I don't know how many people tried to kill people this night, and how many people accidentally killed people. Well, let's not talk about these heretics that should be burned at the stake.
Returning to our protagonist's point of view, he is now in a state of taking a walk after dinner, although everyone knows that he is pitiful for not eating, but they did not expect him to be obsessed with the paranoia that he can still carry out the activity of "walking after dinner", which is probably self-hypnosis to escape reality.
In this regard, Christina explained to everyone very authoritatively that this is the escape psychology that the newborn undead are prone to, and this process varies from the undead to the undead, and will last from a few minutes to hundreds of years, and may deteriorate into incurable mental paranoia, leading to the constant repetition of some behaviors that are already meaningless to them, and even self-cognitive impairment will appear in serious cases.
Please take care of your newborns and don't let the widows feel like they're still individuals!
Christina's wonderful speech made everyone almost burst into tears, and their eyes looked at Bai Huang with more and more pity.
"What a mess, the malice of your slogan is about to come out of the black air, okay!"
It turns out that he just cares about the slogan? The focus of Bai Huang's complaint also made everyone feel that they were full of slots.
Christina, Bai Huang, Moses, and Rogge walk down the secluded trail, take an after-dinner walk, and track Vivien along the way.
Rog summoned an eyeless crow through a sacrificial ritual, and then condensed the shadow that now flew in front of Rog from the veil and crow ashes incinerated by the Shadow Flames. The black shadow like smoke vaguely had the outline of the black crow, and under Rogge's control, the speed was not fast, and it kept moving in one direction.
After a while, everyone had already walked out of the border of the West District and entered the noisy North District, where the major guilds of Augustus were located, and most of the people who came and went were merchants, mercenaries and adventurers, so the mixed flow of people was also an excellent hiding point, at least if you want to find a few outsiders here with the characteristics of "fresh faces", it is undoubtedly difficult to climb to the sky, because nearly half of the people here can be labeled as such.
A blonde girl dressed in a cool sleeveless cloth dress sits by the fountain pool in front of the Adventurers' Union, telling a story to a curious little girl with a few freckles on her face. The story told by the girl is very ordinary, not the fairy princess that ordinary girls love to hear, but just about the daily life of a small adventure group, but the little girl is more and more attracted by these ordinary and ordinary stories.
"Big sister, what happened to the back?'Little Noise' after meeting the Skeleton Demon King? Did you defeat the Demon King? Well, it must be like this. The story came to an abrupt halt at its most exciting point, which made the little girl a little eager to know the rest of the story.
Vivien touched the little girl's head apologetically, and said softly: "Nicole, that's all for today, a good story must save the best part for the end to tell together, and you have to help grandma, don't be lazy." ”
Although the little girl really wants to listen to the story, when it comes to serious things, she still behaves very sensible and well-behaved. Doing household chores, mending clothes, doing simple handicrafts or working as an apprentice were all she had in her childhood. The hard days that seemed to continue forever made her more and more restless as she grew older, feeling uneasy and inferior.
However, the story of the big sister seems to have given her young and confused mind a direction called "dream", and she began to hope that one day she will be able to have many close companions like the sister Anna who has a similar background to her in the story, help those in need everywhere, and become a very powerful adventurer. The little girl's little head didn't have a lot of words in it, so the powerful concept was just that she could live a life of delicious bread every day, lots and lots of bread, and maybe fragrant broth.
Seeing the little girl gradually disappear, Vivien's expression sank, and her petite figure began to shuttle through the tide of people, like a nimble swimming fish disappearing in the blink of an eye. However, the premonition of crisis in her heart became stronger and stronger, like a rabbit stared at by a falcon, no matter how much she escaped, she could not escape the eagle eye looking down from the sky.
The feeling of being locked in was like a thorn in her back, Vivien didn't get rid of this feeling after changing several anti-tracking methods, and she didn't find any trackers, so she realized that the other party should be using a tracking spell, so she began to move quickly and widely like when Ainosk got rid of the magic tracking, this kind of spell often has various limitations, and it can't last, as long as you hold on until the spell fails, you can get rid of the other party.
However, tracking spells do have various limitations, but once they are released, they are just as unreasonable and useful, and the help of the organization in Enosk Vivian is almost alive. At this time, under the calculation of Bai Huang and others, the rabbit who tried to get out of the falcon's sight fell headlong into the hunter's trap, although she instantly withdrew and retreated when she realized that something was wrong, but it was still a step too late.
Far from the hustle and bustle, in the dim and secluded alley, a slender figure blocked Vivien's path, carrying a lute behind him, with a charming smile on his face: "This beautiful young lady, can you stop your hurried footsteps and listen to me play a beautiful silent nocturne for you." ”
Vivien ignored the gibberish, her instincts telling him that the man in front of him was dangerous, and that she had more than one to face. The sound of clicking came from behind him, it was the metal grinding sound that only the whole body armor emitted, this kind of armament was rarely seen outside the battlefield, unless it was an alchemy puppet.
However, just as Vivien was quietly looking for an escape route, a slightly familiar voice came from behind her: "Long time no see!
Vivien turned to her side, and saw a figure wrapped in armor walking towards her, and she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Bai Huang saw that Vivian seemed to recognize him, so he didn't say anything more, but before he could get closer, several smoke bombs rolled in the air and exploded with a bang, Vivian's figure was so fast that she could barely see clearly, and she was about to disappear into the alleyway, but Moses and Bai Huang were still not in a hurry.
Of course, it was because Christina's bone spear condensed in mid-air like a rain curtain was forcing the cold-looking Vivien back little by little, and a fat figure slowly walked out of the darkness, Rogge waved his hand to disarm the tracking spell that had almost reached the limit, and the black mist slammed into a whirlpool, spinning and being sucked into another space.
"Sure enough, it's tiring to track down a clergyman, and next time I won't be free labor, but if Lilina-chan asks me, that's a different story. ”
Rog walked out of the darkness step by step, obviously not releasing any more power, but giving people the illusion that all the shadows were surging with him.
Vivian knew the identities of these people, so she gave up the idea of continuing to escape, and after recognizing Bai Huang, she probably guessed why her identity was exposed, but she was still a little puzzled: "I want to know how you tracked me down as a medium? Of course, you don't need to answer this question." ”
For an assassin, even if they are controlled by others, it does not prevent them from wanting to collect intelligence anytime and anywhere, to put it bluntly, it is an occupational disease, especially if this matter is related to their Achilles' heel or negligence, whether they get an answer or not, it is not a loss, this is a good habit, everyone should consider and learn it.
Vivien didn't expect much, but Christina, Moses, and Rogge did tell the secret in unison: "This pervert [this guy] [this gentleman] took your veil. ”
As a result, Bai Huang gained another look of contempt as if he was seeing garbage, as if he was looking down from a height of 100,000 meters.
Obviously, I am the greatest hero! Why should I be treated like this!!
