The enemy had been wiped out, and there was not a single soul left alive in the town, except for the astrologer and his party. Gu Tie took a deep breath and spit out a mouthful of white mist, "Let's leave before the five-faced corpse has regained its mobility." He folded the cane left behind by the Ryonists and put it in a deerskin bag.

"That's right. "That young man is still sleeping in the house, Brother Jonah." He spotted me when I sneaked out of the inn after you, and I wasn't sure who he was, so I knocked him unconscious and threw him on the bed...... Judging from his body, he is a member of the dragon family. ”

Gu Tie searched his memory, "Oh, he is my partner Long Shenlan, the seventeenth generation of the Long family, the foreign envoy of the Shadow Sect, it sounds like you are from a similar background......"

Dongfang was stunned for a moment: "So, you already know about me?"

"Yes, Long Chang. Gu Tie turned around and looked directly into his partner's eyes, "But for me, it doesn't matter what you did in the past, the past is just the past, and time can only keep flowing forward." The King of Assassins, Simion Dragon, is a meaningless name, right?"

“...... I also think the name Asai suits me better, Brother Jonah. After staring at him for a long time, Asai suddenly smiled.

"Let's go. ”

The astrologer turned and walked towards the abandoned inn on the frozen earth, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, goosebumps appeared on his back. At a certain moment just now, he almost thought that the King of Assassins would attack him, and the flash of killing in Ah Sai's eyes made Gu Tie's heart frightened, and he forced himself not to show a frightened expression, but then he found that the pupils of the Oriental people had regained their clarity, and Gu Tie, who was well aware of human affairs, understood that Ah Sai was using reason to restrain the primitive killing heart, and the spiritual leader of the assassination team organization should be a stalker who would always hide himself in the shadows, and revealing his identity must be a strong stimulus for him, but it seems that this young King of Assassins has emotions, rational and moral human beings, forcibly suppressed the killing intent sprouting in their bones.

Now that he has passed this hurdle, Gu Tie understands that there is no longer a barrier between himself and Ah Sai, and the King of Assassins has already agreed with the word "partner". The Chinese don't know what Jonah will do with this relationship—at this moment, Jonah's soul has fallen into a deep sleep, and no response to any calls—probably with that childish, naïve like a kitten and a puppy, and somehow trusting unconditionally to trust the partners around him, "The world is cruel, boy." Gu Tie secretly muttered to Jonah, "Blindly believe that others will be hurt one day! Survival is a struggle, all kinds of conflicts occur around us all the time, and only by winning every tiny battle can we be the master of our own destiny...... Let's learn to mature a little bit......"

"What?" said Assey.

"No, it's nothing, I mean, I hope the dragon scales aren't affected by magic. Gu Tie replied, "I just took a look at the frozen corpse, there are twelve people in total, all kinds of occupations, and the costumes are not uniform, it should be a member of the brotherhood." But where did the wilderness come from?"

"Ah, with that said, I found a common trait in them. Asai said.

The astrologer glanced back, "You said they wore hats, boots, and calluses on their hands, and despite the different shapes, there is no doubt that these hats were designed to protect against the wind, and the thin-soled, high-top cowhide boots didn't look very suitable for walking, and focused more on warmth, while everyone had thick calluses on the inside of their palms, which could only be sharpened by a certain profession." ”

The Oriental exclaimed, "Brother Jonah, and I think these people are the coachmen on the post road." If I'm not mistaken, the old coachman became suspicious of your identity, and gathered the members of the Brotherhood who passed by nearby, and after hearing what you and the magician were talking to, he activated the enchantment (the enchantment is very powerful, I don't know if it was helped by others, or if it was generated by the scroll) to trap you and wait for reinforcements to arrive. But seeing you so careless, I couldn't help but show up...... After we finished fighting the Magus, reinforcements from the Brotherhood arrived, but they were blocked from the barrier and couldn't get in for a while. ”

"So, this road is very unsafe......" Gu Tie's eyes crossed the dark and gloomy building and threw himself towards the long post road not far away, "By the way, Ah Sai, is it a coincidence or intentional that you met us in Naneryi?"

"This is more troublesome to say, I have a general understanding of your situation in the Southern Commercial Country, but the meeting is a coincidence. Asai fiddled with his braids and said, "I was startled when I saw you, but fortunately, the human skin mask couldn't see the expression." But your disguise is too bad, and you can deceive the careless layman. ”

“...... I agree. Gu Tie nodded, and said in his heart that things like big hats and masked scarves would not play much role even in martial arts novels, let alone this magical world. "What is the reason why you came to the Eastern Continent......? You haven't been back to this continent since that incident, have you?"

Assai's expression immediately turned grim, "Yes. I lost the long sword 'Jairus' in the battle with Brahma, and the armor body brought the broken sword back to the Atlas to find a chance to repair it. But one day the broken sword disappeared, which is incredible...... I quickly sensed that the sword spirit had been reborn in another dimension, and you know, there was a certain degree of induction between the weapon of the Lord and the master. I couldn't figure out what was going on, but then I noticed a very familiar fluctuation coming from Jairus, and at that moment, I knew the sword was back in Ryuhime's hand. ”

"It's Mrs. Duran. We met Madame Duran's Black Cat Cafe at the Lizhu Hostel and made her wish to bring Jairus back to life. Gu Tie explained.

"I see. The Oriental nodded, "During that time, I stayed in the eastern towns of the Vedic Kingdom in the Southern Continent, dealing with some trivial matters within the Alliance, and I tried to find an explanation, but I couldn't figure out how the sword could float across the Holy River and reach her in any case. ”

"Alliance?" the Chinese heard a key word.

"League of Assassins. The so-called 'King of Assassins' is the spiritual leader of the alliance of all assassin organizations in the world, and in fact plays the role of mediator. After hesitating for a moment, Asai calmly told the secret that would never be published in the history books, "This alliance is very old and very large, although the number of people is small, but it is secretly changing the direction of history again and again. ”

Gu Tiedao: "I understand. On June 28, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Empire conducted military exercises in the border area of Bosnia near Serbia, which had recently been annexed, and the Crown Prince Ferdinand personally reviewed the exercises. An assassination can start a war or stop a war, just as the story of Maximilian II, the former king of the Zawi Empire, who was assassinated by the Archduke Jelizavitan, led to a change of regime. ”

Asai turned his head to stare at him: "I haven't heard of the previous thing, and the next thing is ...... It was indeed the Alliance's doing. Anyway, at that time I reached the south bank of the Holy River Gunan, hesitated to wander around the ferry, and finally decided to stay on the southern continent, because I really couldn't go east to meet Long Ji...... But one night a few days ago, the induction suddenly cut off, and I knew something was going on. Ryuhime knew that the sword belonged to me, and she had no reason to discard the 'Jairs' unless she ......"

"You immediately crossed the river to the east, heard about us in Suiyang City, and then prepared to take a car north to the Liang Sui Kingdom, right?" Gu Tie continued his words, "Long Ji was taken away by the Long family, what are you going to do after you know this matter?"

"Yes, of course...... Catch up and find her. There was no joy or sorrow on Assai's face.

"They will use all their strength to kill you, you are the enemy of the Long family. Gu Tie said.

"That's a relief. The Oriental suddenly stretched his waist, and that lazy, slightly smiling expression appeared on his face again, "Don't talk about this, I guess you didn't think of 'what to do when the time comes' when you embark on the journey, there must be a road in front of the road, this is our Oriental proverb, Brother Jonah." All you have to do now is eat something to replenish your strength, and then hurry up and get out of this place that is so cold that it is deadly cold. ”

Gu Tie replied, "Of course, there is still a long road behind, Ah Sai." ”

The two stepped into the abandoned hostel, where the ground, beams, tables and chairs were all frozen, and when they stepped on the second floor, the walls were covered with a thin layer of ice shell. The unconscious Long Shenlu was thrown on the bed, Ah Sai kindly covered him with a broken quilt, Xiaolong's handsome face was red from the cold, but he was still holding the long sword tightly and talking in his sleep.

Gu Tie and Ah Sai looked at each other and smiled.

When Long Shenlu woke up, it was already sunny daylight, "Ahh

"You know what I'm doing!" Gu Tie replied angrily.

It was a small, unobtrusive rickshaw with an unobtrusive gray appearance, with a red-robed magician with a stiff black face in the driver's seat, and could only accommodate two passengers, or rather, a passenger and an engine.

The astrologer was panting and crunching and turning the winch, the winch drove the gears, and the gears drove the wheels to roll through the connecting rods, and the physical strength strengthened by the Moonlight Elf Contract could barely complete this physical work, but fortunately this carriage was much lighter than that of the coachman Lao Wang.

"Hurry up! we've been overtaken by an ox cart!" shouted Master Basta from above.

"Don't talk about it!!," Gu Tie replied sweatingly.
