Chapter Ninety-Eight: Eyes Opened
After taking down the two guards outside the small building, Tom pulled out the dwarven sword at his waist and rushed in first!
At this time, most of the people in the building had fallen asleep, and the hall was empty.
Tom did not rush up to the second floor, but searched the rooms on the first floor and found a cook, two maids, and a gardener.
The four of them were gagged while they were still asleep, and then their hands and feet were tied and they were taken to the kitchen together.
Tom left two men to guard them and continued upward, but this time he was in a bit of trouble.
As soon as he climbed to the second floor, he ran into a man who was dressed like the guards guarding the door below.
He was about to draw his sword as soon as he saw him, but the next moment at least three crossbow arrows hit him.
But at the last moment before he died, he struggled to throw himself to his right hand and fell into a room.
Tom didn't think much of it, protected his chest and head with the dragon shield, and rushed in with him.
As a result, there were eleven people in the room, all of them guards.
And what Tom didn't expect was that these people didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and most of them were still fully dressed, and their weapons were at hand.
Tom's color changed slightly, he didn't expect his luck to be so bad, just in time for the two waves of guards to change shifts.
But there was no point in complaining now, and instead of exiting the room, Tom took two more steps forward and slashed at a tall, lanky man in front of him with his sword.
The man was shocked when he saw the corpse of his companion, and then saw a cold light rushing towards his chest, and subconsciously took a step back.
Instead of chasing, Tom turned his head and stabbed the other man beside him.
He just stood by the door, allowing the other Black Dog Guard warriors to enter the house smoothly, and then the two sides fought together.
The strength of these guards is generally good, half of them are orcs, and they have a lot of combat experience, but not as outrageous as the black-armored cavalry in the Guardian Sect.
Under fair conditions, Tom can still fight one-on-one, and the lizardmen warriors can also compete with the opposing side with weapons and equipment.
But the most fierce is still the golden pupil, he didn't spare his hand in order to prove his value, he singled out three enemies alone, and cut off the head of one of them as soon as he came up, and the remaining two took a few more breaths, and they were also killed.
This unexpected encounter ended quickly.
After a few moments, there were no more guards still standing in the room, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
On the side of the Shuangxiu Sect, only two lizardman warriors were slightly injured, and one of them received a sword on his waist, and after bandaging, he had temporarily stopped the bleeding and could continue to walk with the support of his companions.
The only thing that is more troublesome is that the movement of the fight here is relatively large, and it is estimated that everyone else on this level will wake up.
Tom simply no longer hid his tracks, and divided the way to explore the inside and outside of the small building in the fastest way.
However, an accident arises, and he is not able to find Clara.
Later, a lizardman warrior retrieved some clothes and sheets embroidered with Chinese characters from the room at the end of the hallway.
Tom took one of the cotton clothes and came to Grandma Naima.
After some observation, Tom had noticed that the other people in the castle were faintly afraid of the old woman who had always had a stern face, and many of them were looking at her eyes.
So there's a high probability she's the one in charge here.
Tom didn't talk nonsense either, and went straight to the point, "Where is the owner of this dress now?" ”
"You can kill us, abominable heretics, but don't even think of getting a word out of our mouths." Mama Naima said coldly.
Tom frowned, he could see that the old woman was not pretending to be tough, but really thinking so, she seemed to be ready to sacrifice her life for the faith, such a person was the most difficult to deal with.
And the other party is also very old, and she is a woman, so it is not easy to use torture.
Tom then looked away from her and looked at the others, "Can someone answer my question?" I can let him go. ”
“…………”
There was still no one in the room to speak.
Seeing this, Mama Naima also showed a satisfied smile on her face.
But the next moment her smile froze, and Tom continued, "Separate them, one room each, and I'll interrogate them one by one." Take her away first. ”
Tom pointed to Mama Naima.
Until everyone else was taken out of the hall, leaving only Tom and a maid.
Tom spoke again, "Alright, if you have anything to say, you can say it now." ”
"You're from the Shuangxiu Sect?"
"That's right."
"How do you prove it?" The maid was wary.
Tom took out the walkie-talkie on his waist and said from inside, "Fly in." ”
After a while, the maid heard a buzzing sound, and then a DJI drone flew in from the window of the small building.
"It's ...... Three-eyed eyes?! The maid recognized what was in front of her at a glance.
Tom was surprised, "Do you still know the three-eyed bird?" ”
"Mary told me." "She also told me that the Shuangxiu Church has a holy vessel that can record sounds and images. ”
"Do you know Mary?"
"My name is Ruby, and I'm a friend of Mary's, and you're a little late, she was picked up by Herodotus not long ago."
"Where to go?"
"I don't know, I'm just a maid." Ruby said, "Did you find this place by seeing the handkerchief I stole on the wall, Mary said that the three-eyed bird of the eyes could look down from the sky." ”
"That's right, thank you." Tom paused, and then said, "Do you know what Herodotus was looking for Mary for?" ”
"He comes to Mary when he can't make up his mind."
"Huh?" Tom suspected something was wrong with his ears, and this was the second time he had heard such a bizarre statement.
"Oh, through Mary and Pithia to be exact."
"Really, Mary still has this ability to contact the Goddess of the Silver Moon?" Tom's eyes were opened, too.
"Of course not, in fact Miss Mary is only dealing with Herodotus with all sorts of little experiments she learned from the prophet Merlin, disguised as a pretense that she can communicate with Picia." Ruby said.
"But in the past, Herodotus came here to find Mary, except today, when he sent someone to pick her up." At this point, a look of worry appeared on Ruby's face.
Tom frowned, he was a little hesitant to stay here and wait for Clara to come back, or go out and continue looking for someone.
