Chapter 358: Dare XX Now, Pay It Back Later!? (1/3)
Ever since he left Port Harrison yesterday, Ian had noticed that something was wrong with the birds on the side of the road.
It's like when he noticed that his younger brother had the psionic imprint left by Viggers on his head.
Today, too, he saw many psionic fragments scattered over the heads and eyes of some of the birds, flowing with a pale blue light.
The little brittle finches that tilted their heads to stare at the caravan were the carriers, because they were not afraid of people, so they were also very suitable for this kind of surveillance work - who would have thought that the usual snacks were to monitor their own eyes?
Who, or rather, at this time, could send psykers to spy on them?
Because there are so many of them, Ian doesn't know.
It must be a big force that can make a psyker monitor him point-to-point.
But there may be too many forces to watch themselves.
The Flamelands, the House of Ellen, the Marquis of Barton, and the Whalesong Cliffs and Canaan Moore...... Because of the maze event, they are all likely to be very interested in themselves.
It's hard to pinpoint who exactly.
But he also learned a hand from Viscount Grant.
- Anyway, whoever he is, he will push it to the Flying Flame Land by default.
The Imperials love to hear this and will not doubt it.
"I'll repeat it again."
The armor was complete, and the cyan eyes behind the helmet flickered with the tone, releasing a dangerous aura.
Ian looked around at the caravan who were dazed, and then quickly became vigilant, and said in a calm and polite tone: "If the traitor does not stand up himself, but I find him, then I will turn him into alchemical material." ”
He whispered to himself, "It just so happens that I'm still worried, and after leaving Port Harrison, it's very difficult to cultivate some biological substrates...... It's much easier to have a living vessel. ”
The crowd apparently heard this to themselves, and there was a burst of horror at the moment, and the originally small but continuous cacophony suddenly stopped.
In the caravan, the hunters who were accompanying them to participate in the expedition were immediately separated, and the surrounding area was empty for several meters.
In Terra, in addition to the stereotype that 'explosions and toxic substances often leak in the studio', bio-alchemists are often struck by the stereotype that they will kidnap outsiders and homeless people to use as raw materials for biological experiments.
Ian wasn't about to refute. On the contrary, he wished that everyone would feel dangerous and terrible.
Since he left his hometown and his younger brother, he didn't mind being a real terrifying alchemist in the eyes of outsiders.
Moreover, such words can also force out the inner ghost.
Turning on the spiritual energy, Ian's gaze swept over the caravan one by one, most of the caravan members were white people, and their perception of him was 'green' - after all, they were all his own people, and they had received more or less favors from him, and their favorability had been good for several years.
Most of the hunters and herb pickers are gray and white, proving that they don't have a good or bad feeling about themselves that can 'influence their choices'.
But just as Ian made a threat, a hunter with a slightly cramped expression turned light red with a 'poof'.
"There really is."
The young man nodded clearly, and said in his heart: "It seems that I guessed correctly, to be able to attract a group of demonic beasts over, it does require internal response." ”
With his spiritual ability, he can't directly see who is the inner ghost...... After all, as long as the inner ghost has no ill will towards him.
The inner ghost only needs to complete the other party's task, such as smearing some special tracking powder on the caravan caravan, this method can't even say who is targeted, ordinary to leave a mark, Ian can't see the other party's attitude towards him.
However, as soon as such a threat is passed, out of self-danger and fear, the change of mood and the targeting become obvious and intense.
However, before Ian could speak, the hunter who had accidentally met Ian's eyes turned red, put down his sword and the bow on his back, and stood up tremblingly.
This surprised Ian: "You really admit it? ”
"Master, I, I usually transfer the price of goods in the market...... I didn't expect the other party to be from the Flame Land! ”
Hearing Ian's somewhat regretful tone, the hunter who even dared to draw his knife and go to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the reef-devouring sea otter was excited.
Ian is not only a sublimator, but also a knight who has been honored, and he is the real steward of this caravan, and even the monsters dare not oppose him.
With strength, power and prestige, how dare he speak loudly.
Most importantly, the hunter is not stupid, and he knows he has been exposed when he sees Ian's psionic gaze locked on him...... A well-known appraiser must have good eyesight.
Or is it a psyker, maybe he can read minds?
In that case, why don't you confess that the people of Flying Flame Land gave him a few dollars? It's not worth the hard mouth.
I have to say that the stereotype of psykers is also quite useful - although 'psykers can read minds' is a fake news, it does make many people dare not lie to psykers.
"Tie him up."
Without further ado, Ian instructed the guards on the side, and then waved to the crowd: "Let's disperse, just him." Warcraft probably won't come back tonight, you guys have worked hard. ”
He turned his head and instructed the cook, "Silas, add another meal to the big guy tonight." ”
"Yes!"
Both the guards and the cook responded in turn, and the dejected inner ghost was tied up and taken aside to await Ian's interrogation.
The result of the interrogation was actually quite simple - he didn't lie, he really didn't know that the other party was from the Flying Flame Land.
His usual assistance is to help some guys who look like businessmen gather market information about Port Harrison and the surrounding towns, and certain chambers of commerce.
Including the receipt price of grain, iron products, crafts, herbs and monster hunting.
With his identity as an old hunter who can participate in the hunt, it is indeed not difficult to figure out the data of a few familiar chambers of commerce, he thinks that this is also the fact that other chambers of commerce want to obtain the details of their competitors, anyway, it is not an important thing, and they can take a lot of wine money, not for nothing.
As for the 'lure reef otter' to attack the caravan, he cried out.
"I really don't know about this monster attack, I was going to fight, if I had brought it in...... No, how could I have attracted it, I'm not stupid, they didn't give me so much money! ”
"Tell you the truth." Ian ignored the aggrieved hunter, and said to the chamber of commerce manager on the other side: "The people of the Flame Land are targeting me, and it is estimated that they have located this guy by some means, and then manipulated the small animals to induce the demonic beasts to attack the convoy. ”
"I'm so sorry, sir, this time it was our dereliction of duty......"
"It's all said, it's coming at me."
Ian shook his head, since he became a knight, everyone who used to call him 'Ian' has changed to call him Master...... Brin relied on his familiarity with him to call him by his first name.
After all, there are so many names, and it is also the norm to choose the one that is least likely to make mistakes.
Coupled with the fact that Ian is now wearing a helmet and can't see that overly young face, it is more pleasant for others to scream.
He thought for a moment, and then said, "Wait until tomorrow daylight, find a guard to bring him back." The viscount definitely wants to live, and the material data of the Flying Flame Land to search for the town of Nanling must have a different map. ”
"I understand." The steward nodded solemnly in response, but then he was stunned: "Wait, sir, what are you going to do here?" ”
"What else can be done." Ian, who had already put on his sword, turned his back to the steward and said, "Of course, we will get rid of that group of people from the Flying Flame Land." ”
- Dare to snoop and tempt now, and then pay it back?
If he doesn't pull these guys out, how can he leave with peace of mind.
