Chapter 294: The Cave and the Visitor
Arthur looked at the teenager in front of him.
The boy has short platinum blonde hair and a slightly round face, which looks seven points similar to the head of the Skye family, Sefir Skye. It's just that it looks a little younger.
He knew the identity of the teenager, who was none other than Seffir Skye's younger brother. It stands to reason that he should inherit the position of head of the Skye family. But...... Competing with Seffel Skye is a little too difficult for a small child.
Seffir Skye is well aware of his contribution to the prosperity of his family. At the same time, she can't contribute to the family in vain, let her hand over the fruits of her hard work to her younger brother. She couldn't have been so generous.
If it's hers, no one else can take it.
So the Scottie Skye in front of him can only be subservient to Shalfir. However, the relationship between the sister and brother has always been very good. At least for now, no one sees Scottie Skye taking a lot of interest in the position of head of the family.
】
On the contrary, he prefers to go out in the field, and has a pretty good relationship with the gloves raised by the Skye family outside.
It doesn't look like an honest look at all. It seems that he is trying to overthrow his sister's rule.
But Arthur felt strange again. After all, Safir Skye is certainly not a fool. Can't you see such an obvious dissent? even handed over such an important matter as the first joint operation between the two sides to his younger brother.
Is Safiel Skye's heart too big?
Arthur thought a lot about the answer to this question along the way, but none of them were one that convinced him. Because it's ridiculous.
His concern about this matter is also inevitable, not to mention that the two of them are now in a cooperative relationship, and think about whether they will be stabbed because of the internal discord within the other party. And the Skye family obviously has a deep cooperation with the Gaunt family. And this collaboration is basically because Luke Gaunt and Seiffel Skye have a good relationship.
As for how deep it goes, I don't know.
Anyway, if the ruler of the Skye family is replaced, it is really difficult to say whether there will be such harmony. It's not impossible to turn against each other.
Moreover, the Skye family is also in a competitive relationship with them. They say they think of Luke Gaunt as the Lord. But not everyone agrees. But now that he has become a subordinate of the other party under the leadership of Miss Alice, that is, the leader, it is necessary to think carefully about how to improve his position in Luke Gaunt's camp.
There is no doubt that co-governance between the two sides is naturally the best. Miss Alice is much older than Lord Luke. But for now, it's not necessarily impossible to put two people together.
And in this case, the famous Safir Skye is naturally a very strong competitor.
It is necessary to find out what weaknesses the other person has. In this way, you can have an advantage when turning your face.
"Mr. Arthur? Did you hear that? ”
Scotty asked again with a smile on his face.
In his opinion, the tall wizard in front of him was obviously not so simple. Not to mention anything else, the strength of the other party is definitely quite strong. It should be regarded as a first-class existence among wizards. Such a person is the top combat power in any family. There is only one such wizard in the Skye family, and the identity of this wizard is not known to others. Only his sister knows, or rather, only the head of the family can know.
Scottie's own quality is not bad, but he is still some way from being first-class. He's also very young now, and it will take a few years to grow up after all.
Thirty to forty years old is the normal golden period of a wizard's strength. And now, he has not yet reached the peak of his strength, even if he grows up normally, he has a chance to reach the level of the person in front of him. So he wasn't too nervous either.
Arthur pulled himself out of his own world. looked at the young man in front of him and said, "It's good to find it, let's go over and take a look, but don't let your guard down." The other party can kill so many of us silently. I don't think I can do that. ”
When he said this, Arthur's expression also became serious. Then, he took the lead in front of everyone.
Scotty watched Arthur stride forward, with no desire to follow, and even sighed faintly.
Actually, according to his ideas. Although such a batch of goods is precious, in fact, it is not a nerve-wracking for both parties.
With the mediation of the British one, it is enough for everyone to continue to trust each other. Even if it's a superficial trust. This action can also be completely pretended, and there is no need to be really serious.
Scotty surveyed the scene and saw the deaths of his own family's men.
There was nothing on the surface, as if you were asleep. But in reality, all the internal organs were damaged, and the injuries in each of them were not very serious. But entanglement, enough to be fatal.
When the stomach is opened, the stomach is full of blood......
Such an opponent is really not a big road. It's too late to see hiding on weekdays, and now I have to send it to the door. In Scotty's view, this is almost self-defeating.
"Did my sister start to lose her mind as soon as she ran into something related to that Luke Gaunt? There's really no need to catch another team. ”
Scottie gritted his teeth, scratched the back of his head, and said helplessly.
At the same time, he also muttered secretly in his heart.
He really didn't know that his sister's XP was so perverted before...... How do you have a taste with those Muggle priests?
Arthur walked at the front of the group, his majestic frame giving a strong sense of security to those behind him.
They followed Arthur, serious and vigilant, but not the slightest panic.
At least when they didn't actually meet their opponents, they did look really good.
"Lord Arthur, do we really have to be so serious?"
Behind him, a young man from his organization asked with some confusion.
Arthur's expression didn't change, he just nodded.
The expressions of the people behind him were somewhat tangled. But he wasn't too worried.
At least compared to the people of the Skye family, they have a better mentality. After all, the last time something went wrong, nothing big happened to their people, and none of them died. And the people of the Skye family are indeed dead.
Thinking so, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although it is said that the other party did not take their lives for some reason last time, in fact, it is difficult to say whether there is a second time for such a thing.
Not far ahead, they finally found the cave.
From the outside, the cave is a gloomy scene. It was clear that it was still far away, but Arthur and the people around him couldn't help but stop their steps.
They all sensed that something was wrong.
"There's a problem."
At some point, Scotty leaned over, looked at his surroundings, and spoke without hesitation.
"There is no sign of any living presence in the vicinity. But the vitality is extraordinarily vigorous. Wrong. Something is very wrong. It gives me a very bad feeling. ”
Scotty's expression was unusually solemn. He looked at the cave in the distance. Then he looked at Arthur beside him and said with a serious face, "We have to leave." Mr. Arthur, you also know that this is definitely not the right person you can handle. ”
When he said this, he didn't save any face for Arthur. But he also knew that Arthur had no way to refute it.
And he had already made up his mind that even if Arthur really planned to go in and explore, he would definitely not get involved.
Joke...... Everyone knows what happened last time. Arthur and his men may not be killed if they have a problem, but if they get close, I am afraid there is nothing to talk about.
The last time the Skye family was dead. Scottie doesn't think he'll be able to save face by leading the team.
So, whether Arthur withdraws or not, he will have to withdraw later.
No matter what happens, it doesn't matter if it's your own life. The Skye family itself is a withered family, and he would rather be scolded by his sister than lose his life. I still have to be useful for the inheritance of the Skye family!
Arthur's expression changed three times at once, he was not a fool, he naturally knew that this matter was only afraid that he could not force it. When he didn't see the other party, he still had a little idea of going forward to investigate. But now that he really saw the place where the other party might be hiding, the huge and strange vitality really discouraged him.
For some reason, he always had a feeling that something bad was going to happen near that cave.
So, Arthur took a deep breath.
"We retreat, next ......"
"Why don't you go in and have a look?"
A clear voice came from behind them.
Both Arthur and Scotty's expressions changed dramatically.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the inquiring look in each other's eyes.
"Is this your people's voice?" x2
After seeing each other's eyes, the two of them shook their heads in unison.
No, it's not any of them.
So the two of them turned back together.
And the subordinates of the two of them are naturally not as calm as the two of them. The moment the voice sounded, they turned around in unison, with a look of horror on their faces.
Who? Why don't they feel anything?
And when they turned around, they were greeted by a thin man dressed in tatters and sloppy, holding a heart still beating in his hands.
The moment they saw each other, Arthur and Scotty raised their vigilance to the highest level.
O Merlin's beard! Why can't the people standing there perceive it?
The man's gaze swept over the crowd around him, and then he turned to Arthur and asked, "Why are you here again?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Arthur and Scotty knew the identity of this person.
Scotty hastened to give Arthur a look.
Nabs! Nabs! You'd better not really have the same decent personality as you look! If you tell the truth now, we're all going to be put down here.
"We just happened to pass by here, and we felt a little different atmosphere, so we came over to take a look, I didn't expect it to be you, let's just leave, don't bother."
Arthur's expression was quite gentle, with an amiable smile on his face, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.
Scotty was relieved to say this. This doesn't seem to be a stupid person, and it seems that everyone wants to leave, and there is still a chance.
"Oh, passing by, do you want to go in as a guest?"
"No, no, no...... No need," Arthur's smile froze for a moment, then continued, "We still have some business to attend to, and now we're leaving. ”
"Oh, is that so? It's okay, then you guys go first. Don't get too close here. ”
The man nodded, and walked in Arthur's direction.
Scotty subconsciously wanted to dodge. But he finally restrained this emotion, and continued to stand by Arthur's side, and the excitement of the province was that this god man who was not in a very right mental state and did not know from which crack in the stone jumped out.
Arthur's expression didn't change in the slightest. The main thing is to freeze.
His heart was beating like a drum kit now. The whole person was about to lose his nerves.
But he still forced himself to calm down, he couldn't panic now, absolutely not panic.
As the man approached, he looked up into the eyes of the tall Arthur.
"Did you do your job well?"
He coldly asked a question that he didn't know what the situation was.
Scottie's brows couldn't help frowning, although the person in front of him was very strong, he did seem to have a mental problem. No, you can't approach this person casually. Maybe something will just be killed. After all, a person with an abnormal brain does not have so many scruples.
This person is within the range of his attack, and he doesn't know when he will be killed.
But Arthur was a completely different story. When he was asked this question by the person in front of him, his expression suddenly became a little struggling. He wanted a perfunctory "good" answer.
But I don't know why, he just can't say this answer.
Moreover, there was another thought that gradually came to his mind. A word was squeezing out of his chest.
The men all saw Arthur's face flushed. It looks very uncomfortable.
They were all a little confused, what the hell was going on? But they still didn't do anything.
For fear of irritating the one in front of you.
"We, were, worked hard."
After saying this, Arthur's expression suddenly relaxed.
The man didn't seem to care that much, just nodded: "That's good." ”
With that, he walked in the direction of the cave.
Arthur looked at his back, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Sir! What's your name? ”
The man paused and turned his head, his face dazed and confused, and he could even see some struggle.
The Scotties were stupid, pulled out their wands out of sight, ready to teleport away at any moment.
"I remember...... Someone seems to call me, Salazar ......"
