Chapter 5: The Grand Karcist Black Moon
"Did you just see that?" The man in black, who was still running on the roof, asked. The latter sister responded, "That doesn't look like alchemy just now." It's kind of like the hex of the green goblins in the east. The man suddenly stopped and grabbed the sister who came with him, "Wait a minute, look down." In the dark shadow of the roof, the two cats saw a new team of guards appear on the street below, hurrying into the distance, as if they had something very important to do, and did not care about the chaos in the direction of the warehouse. The brother and sister naturally noticed the abnormality, "Follow them." ”
After all, the two of them are professionally trained organizations, so they may naturally be found in a different place, and soon the two were taken by the patrol to another corner of the city to a secret place, which is also a square guarded by soldiers, and there is a simple house in the middle of the military formation, at this time it is the second half of the night, but the room is still brightly lit, and there are many figures walking around. "It's strange, this is supposed to be a slum, how can there be so many guards." Just when the two of them were confused, five or six patrols appeared on the streets one after another, and together there must be nearly a hundred people in the square now, to say the least.
"Hey. This way. Just when the two sisters were struggling, a voice sounded from behind them, and the two turned around in shock, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the figure clearly, the person behind them was the fifth child. Seeing this, the two quickly retreated to Lao Wu's side, "Mr. Qiubai asked them to look for you, saying that they were under your command." The younger sister said, "What are we going to do next?" Lao Wu looked at the team below, and then looked at the street in the distance where martial law was constantly being imposed. "Generally speaking, there must be something good hidden here, and you see." Following the direction of the old five's finger, the two saw that the lord of Finland Dos had just walked out of the door. Lao Wu smiled, "At this time, when a man runs to such a deserted place, he is either a private lover, or he has some ulterior secret." I'll have to find a way to go in and have a look. Lao Wu thought for a while, and said again, "If you two don't get their armor, I'll have another trouble with you." After the three of them finished their assignment on the roof, the brother and sister jumped off the roof and disappeared into the dark alley, and not long after, the two returned to the roof with three armors, and the three of them changed into the two brothers and sisters mixed into the patrol team that came to them, while the fifth continued to be in the dark.
"Report to the city lord. The warehouse has been suppressed, and nothing has been lost. The specific situation is still being investigated by the fourth team. A herald knelt before the lord of the city and returned. The city lord frowned, "I didn't expect to find the warehouse, a mysterious brigade captain who can use creation refining and can mobilize elements, a princess who is like a fox, and a pair of brothers and sisters who betrayed the nightingale, it seems that this place is not safe." At this moment, a patrol team that had just arrived was suddenly stopped, "Why are there two more people in your team, who are you?" As soon as these words came out, a circle of knights around them looked at this side. Remove. The man gave an order, and the two of them kicked down the knight next to them in one direction and jumped up. Come on, catch them. One of the captains of the team blew the whistle, and the patrolmen who arrived divided into two groups and chased after them.
"Take the people in the house, transfer." Seeing this, the city lord was also convinced that it was not safe here, and hurriedly gave an order. The troops in the square began to line up, and several people entered the house. Seeing this, Lao Wu, who was hiding in the shadows, hurriedly followed, and followed the other three into the house. I saw that the whole room was full of all kinds of bottles and cans, some of which were still heating and bubbling, and there were strange liquids of various colors inside. The messy operating table was covered with all kinds of data records, and there were three people standing in front of the table, led by an old man with a gray beard, with a tired face, and his dark purple robe was covered with dust, and the two people around him were younger, who seemed to be the disciples of the old man, and they were also tired. Lao Wu hurriedly grabbed the old man before a few people and said, "Bring the data and samples." These are all very important, if the city lord's plan is delayed, we will have to walk around without food. With that, he ignored the other three and walked out with the old man in tow. The three people behind him looked confused, because normally the three of them were in charge of guarding, how could there be one more person now, but seeing the affirmation on this person's face, and looking at the mess outside, they could only hurriedly clean up the data and samples on the table. At this interval, the fifth child escorted the old man out of the door directly, went around to the prisoner car, picked up the old man and ran directly over the wall.
Seeing this, the old man didn't dare to say much, and silently attached himself to the back of the fifth child. Until the two returned to the residence of the brother and sister, the brother and sister and Qiubai were already waiting here in the room.
"There's not much time, long story short." Qiu Bai poured a glass of water for the old man, "Grand Karcist of the Imperial Alchemy Workshop, Mr. Black Moon." When the brother and sister heard this, they were stunned in place. Are you the Empire's only second-tier strategic-level alchemist? "My sister was the first to speak. Black Moon nodded, "Thank you for your rescue, please pass on the situation here as soon as possible, Enlil, the city lord of Finland's Dos, intends to purify the secret element." The fifth brother and sister looked confused, "Secret? What's that? Hearing this, Qiu Bai affirmed the thoughts in his heart, and immediately felt bad, "It is rumored that the empire is researching new weapons of war, and the secret element is the most important part of it, and this is also the only alchemical substance that can react with the Philosopher's Stone found so far, and can instantly release all its energy in an extreme time. Black Moon was also shocked, "How do you know this, I'm sure you're not from the Alchemy Workshop." Then there was a look of vigilance, "These should not be known to an outsider." ”
Qiubai didn't pay attention to the old man's question. "At what point is it now, the requirements for secret element purification are very high, especially for the equipment, and professional purification equipment is not likely to appear here." Qiubai continued, "It won't be long before the whole city will be searched again, and it's basically impossible to get out now, and the city gate will definitely not be unsealed if this happens." The brother and sister asked,
"So what to do."
"What should I do?" Qiu Bai let out a long sigh, "Wait." “
"Wait?" The brother and sister looked surprised, "Are you waiting to die here?" ”
The fifth child was very calm, "Don't worry, the little boss must have a way." As he spoke, he walked to the table and took off his armor, "This thing is really not used to wearing it, it's too restrictive." By the way, little girl, if you don't want to give me some vegetable soup, it's delicious. ”
……
"Rubbish, three people can lose it!" Enlil, the city lord galloping through the streets on a war horse, shouted, "Find me, turn the whole city over and find out these guys for me, whether they live or die." "Yes." The soldiers behind him scattered in several groups and began a carpet search again. And the lord of the city ran at full speed to his castle.
……
"Lost?" A faint voice rang out.
"Yes. Be. "Enlil, who was still full of majesty just now, was kneeling in his study, and there was a man sitting behind the desk in front of him, holding the wine in his cupboard in his hand, and his back to him." I'm going to take the things on the table. The man slowly turned his chair, his face hidden in the darkness, and all he could see was a pair of bright red eyes. And your taste is really not good. As he spoke, he poured the wine into his glass.
……
The sky outside slowly turned white, and from time to time there were a few rooster crows, and the whole city was slowly waking up. The man in black pushed the door in, his face anxious, "They've almost searched this neighborhood, and there will be only a few hours left at most." Look at Qiubai and Lao Wu again, one is not in a hurry and talks to Heiyue, and Lao Wu is holding his hands on his chest, sleeping against the wall, and there are still clean soup bowls on the table.
……
"You were kidnapped half a year ago?" Qiu Bai's face was puzzled. "Yes, I was kidnapped with my two apprentices on the way to the imperial capital." Black Moon replied. Qiu Bai was even more puzzled, "Generally speaking, people of your status will usually be escorted by knights when they travel, and ordinary robbers will take a detour. No one would be stupid enough to intercept the Elite Knights. Black Moon nodded with you, "It's definitely not robbers, how can they have that kind of combat effectiveness, although I say it's not a battle warlock, but I can't beat a few robbers, not to mention the escort of the Knights." Qiu Bai smiled, "Then you mean that it was Enlil's people who impersonated?" How else would you be here? Heiyue looked at Qiu Bai with a cunning face, "Little brother, although I am an old man, my eyes are still good, and I can naturally see the strength of this group of guys in the past half a year, not them." Qiubai scratched his head, "It's strange, who robbed you and sent you here." Who would do that? ”
……
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the city gate, followed by a cloud of smoke rising into the sky. My sister, who had been observing the situation on the second floor, shouted, "The city gate has been breached. As soon as I heard that someone was attacking the city, the fifth suddenly became interested, and rushed to the second floor. Black Moon narrowed her eyes, "This should be the reinforcement you are waiting for." Qiubai smiled, "It's really picking and searching, fishing with bait, and when you catch it, you have to take back the bait." Do you say that the Snow Princess of your alchemy workshop is also such a person? ”
