It was a night that was not destined to be peaceful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the northern city of the royal capital, a group of heavily armed warriors hurried into a long street. They belonged to the royal garrison and were responsible for protecting the heart of the kingdom, and when they were patrolling another street just now, they heard a noise and cries for help from this side and immediately rushed over.
They were still a step late, though, and the streets were littered with fragments of carriages and corpses, and several knights lay to the ground in a blur of flesh, and at a glance it was clear that there was no hope of salvation at all.
The leader of the patrol, Samurai Clauster, had such a heavy casualty in his jurisdiction, even if the perpetrator was caught, he could not escape punishment, not to mention that he did not even see the shadow of the murderer now.
But even more amazing things were yet to come, when Clauster saw the rest of the luxurious carriage, his whole body was like falling into an ice cave - he recognized this carriage at a glance as the car of a famous nobleman who had been patrolling the royal capital all year round, and there were few specially customized longer and wider carriages in the whole of Sein!
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Crouster rushed forward and rushed straight into the wide open carriage, praying desperately to the gods in his heart, praying that the worst would not come.
There was a strong smell of blood and feces and urine in the carriage, choking the leader samurai who almost threw up, and the cruel reality in front of him shattered the last bit of fantasy in his heart.
The fat Earl of Edmond was sitting on the carpet dumbfounded, a pair of small fish bubble eyes wide open, and there was still a look of horror and dismayation in his pupils, and gurgling blood was pouring out of his fat neck, and his gorgeous robes were full of shocking blood.
When the worst was in front of him, the shocked Clauster completely calmed down, and he turned back to his subordinates who had just arrived and shouted, "Quick! Raise the highest alarm!"
The patrols of the garrison have the authority to issue alarms at all levels, and their highest level is second only to the war alarm that the royal capital has been attacked by the enemy, and it will not be easily issued under normal circumstances, so as not to cause the royal capital to be scratched, but once confirmed, the whole city will inevitably be on high alert.
And now, Clauster couldn't care about anything, and looking at Count Edmund's pair of dead fish eyes, his heart kept sinking, sinking into the bottomless abyss.
At the same time as Clauster sounded the alarm, Han Fei, who caused all this, flew over the roofs of buildings with a large gray cloth bag like a ghost.
With the support of the Five Elements Fighting Qi, he exerted the speed of the Floating Light Shadow Light Skill to the extreme, and the dozens of pounds of burdens on his body almost did not cause any impact.
Han Fei carefully avoided the location of those family martial arts halls and various trade unions, and with the cover of night, it didn't take long for him to leave the city and enter the dark forest.
After going deep into the jungle for some distance and making it impossible to be spotted, he put down the cloth bag he was carrying on his shoulder.
This cloth bag is actually a gray robe, and the object wrapped in it is the fish-man girl, but at this time, her fishtail has completely turned into a pair of human legs, and her skin is almost dazzling.
The mermaid still looked frightened, she clenched the collar of the gray robe tightly with both hands, looked left and right, probably feeling that she was out of danger, and then she cried in a low voice, crying and gratefully saying, "Thank you..."
The girl didn't notice a fierce glint in Han Fei's eyes.
Just now, Han Fei had killed an earl, and it was very likely that he was still a kingdom earl!
The noble titles of the Nine Heavens Continent are divided into six levels according to duke, marquis, earl, son, male and lord, and the jazz is not among the reserve nobles, but there is no duke in the kingdom, except for the highest royal family, the marquis is the pinnacle of the noble title, followed by the earl.
Even in Sein, where aristocrats gathered, there were only seven or eight marquises, and there were only about ten or twenty counts, all of whom could be said to be the top bigwigs in the royal capital.
Han Fei didn't know who this Edmond was, but the earl title was enough to say it all, and how serious the consequences of killing such a great nobleman would be with his toes.
It's just that everyone on the other side was killed by Han Fei's hot hand, and the only one who knew about it was the fish-man girl in front of her, as long as she didn't say it, no one would ever know what was going on on that long street.
Han Fei is definitely not a soft-hearted person, his sympathy for the girl cannot overpower his murderous intent, if he wants to be foolproof, it is undoubtedly the safest choice to kill his mouth.
With his murderous intent, the invisible murderous aura was naturally revealed, and the fish-man girl actually sensed it immediately, and involuntarily took a step back, and her face became extremely pale.
"You... Is it to... Kill me?"
To Han Fei's surprise, after sensing his killing intent, the fish-man girl did not choose to run away, but slowly closed her eyes: "Then let's do it, it's better than... That's better..."
Two crystal tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and under the illumination of the moonlight, her tears turned milky white, and fell on the grass with a click, not only did not disperse, but rolled a few times to exude a faint brilliance!
Legend has it that the tears of the fish-people can be turned into pearls, but they must be the saddest tears, and the legend has once again become a living reality in front of Han Fei's eyes.
It was these two tears that touched the softest place in Han Fei's heart, and the killing intent he had just raised couldn't help but diminish a lot.
"What's your name?" Han Fei asked suddenly.
The girl opened her eyes in some surprise, hesitated and replied, "My name is Nana, Nana Haines..."
"Nana..."Han Fei read in a low voice, and finally made a decision: "I saved you unintentionally, now I definitely can't take you back to the city, but I'm afraid you won't be able to live if I leave you here, and more importantly, I can't let you fall into the hands of others anymore, what do you think I should do?"
The girl's eyes lit up: "I understand... I was caught and brought here by boat, and as long as I got back to the river and swam back to the sea on my own, they would never catch me again!"
The more she spoke, the more proficient she became, although there were still some words that did not reach the meaning, but Han Fei completely understood, the other party should be talking about the Lancang River, which flows into the sea to the east.
And the Lancang River is really not very far from where he is now, which may be another choice.
At this time, the fish-man girl suddenly knelt on the grass, crossed her hands in front of her chest, looked up at the moon and said, "The supreme goddess of the moon, I, the daughter of the Sea Clan, Nana Haines, hereby make a vow to you not to mention to anyone what has happened today, otherwise I am willing to receive the highest punishment!"
Like a legendary miracle, the watery moonlight gathered together, one after another a white halo of light appeared out of thin air above her head, and then slowly fell through her delicate body, and finally disappeared into the grass.
A moment later, a light blue spirit magic array suddenly flashed on her feet, and all the auras turned into dots of glow and disappeared without a trace.
"This is the highest moon oath of my clan..."The fish-man girl slowly got up and said, "Each clan can only make three times in their lifetime, so please rest assured, no matter what the circumstances are, I will not say what happened today!"
The last trace of murder receded from Han Fei's heart, although he had never heard of this oath, but just looking at the scene just now, he could determine that the fish-man girl was not lying to him.
"Let's go!" Han Fei no longer hesitated.
The Lancang River was only about ten kilometers away from the center of Beicheng, and Han Fei took the fish-man girl Nana to full speed forward, and it didn't take long to see the roaring and rushing Lancang River.
Originating from the majestic Menes Mountains, the Lancang River was the largest river in the Minglan Kingdom, and it circled the city of Seon to the east across half of the golden plain, and then crossed the Kingdom of Karpas into the ocean, and was also the most important transportation waterway of the kingdom.
Seeing the roaring and rushing Lancang River, the girl's face couldn't help but show joy.
After getting off Han Fei's back, she respectfully saluted Han Fei: "Benefactor, can Nana know your name, I will always remember your kindness, and I hope to have a chance to repay it in the future!"
"No need..."Han Fei shook his head and said, "We may not have a chance to meet again, you go quickly, I'm going back!"
Nana nodded, saluted Han again, took a few steps back, and suddenly took off the gray robe that wrapped her body.
Before Han Fei could see her flawless body, Nana turned around and jumped from the high rock into the raging Lancang River!
Han Fei couldn't help but step forward and look towards the river, only to see the waves crashing against the rocks, and there was still the figure of the other party in the turbulent river.
I don't know why, a strange feeling rose in Han Fei's heart, and this surprise encounter seemed to be as unreal as a dream.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he only heard a "bang", and a figure suddenly appeared on the relatively gentle river dozens of meters away, and it was Nana, a fish-man girl who had just entered the water!
Han Fei could see clearly that her slender legs had turned back into beautiful fish tails, reflecting a dreamlike brilliance in the moonlight.
He also saw that the legendary mermaid jumped into the air and waved at him, her beautiful little face was full of joy to regain her freedom, and her eyes showed great gratitude.
Han Fei believed that under this moonlit night, he would never forget the scene at this moment!
