Chapter 32: The Glorious Execution Bench

The guards rushed in, and Hayes couldn't help but sigh softly.

I've heard that the Patronus of Ashendale always likes to pluck the strings of fate... He thought: Tonight, something unforeseeable has happened.

Immediately afterward, he felt the Cloud Hunter seem to be quite bold and gently tapped him on the back.

"I'll be in charge of continuing to investigate the magical side of things, but Eric is dying, and he desperately needs your care and rescue. The Cloud Hunter said calmly.

"Take me at once to where the butler is, in any wing of the castle. Hayes said to the guards, and he looked back, as if grateful, at the Cloud Hunter.

My father had said that the selfless allegiance of the Cloud Hunters was the most reliable guardian force in the Valley of the Eagles, aside from the walls and guards. But what was the reason for this vaguely ominous premonition? Hayes pondered calmly, and then, surrounded by the guards, he took a step, and in an instant he was far away from the brook.

"But then again, who the hell are you?" the Cloud Hunter said with a serious face as he approached the trembling short figure, "Listen, your magic is just a clumsy skill to me. ”

However, at this time, he was very careful, but he suddenly found that the other party's eyes, I don't know when they began to glow with tears, and the most important thing is that his pupils are gray-brown, as if they are gray eagle feathers, and faintly reveal some white brilliance to the outside.

"I... Actually, I don't know who I am. But the master said that if this mission fails, I will have to pay with my life. With a slight cry, he said intermittently: "He gave me the title 'Pol' beforehand, and now that the mission is complete, I'm leaving." ”

He turned away, as if trying to get out of the Cloud Hunter's tracking.

"This 'master' is not the 'black hand' in the letter, maybe the answer can be found from this guy. The Cloud Hunter muttered to himself, "But he looks so weak, like a woman, how could an opponent be stupid enough to send him?"

But just as he was stunned, with the sound of "brushing", there was a sudden sharp pain in his right arm, as if the flesh had been cut by some sharp object, he hurriedly took a step back, only to see that in Pol's hand, I don't know when a silver short-handled dagger had appeared, the cold light above the edge was mixed with red blood, and his facial expression also swept away the tame appearance of the past.

"Although he is small, he is not slow, is he?" the Cloud Hunter did not panic, he just reacted quickly and struck a golden magic mark forward with his left hand, and hit the opponent's shoulder blade impartially, Bol's body was stunned, as if some kind of indescribable pressure was suddenly on his body, but his speed was still extremely fast, and the moment the Cloud Hunter raised the bow and arrow that had just fallen, his figure was suddenly far away from the opponent's position.

Then, under his slightly surprised gaze, Pol naturally took out a mysterious glass bottle filled with red liquid from his waist, and then lifted the cap and drank the liquid inside.

The Cloud Hunter frowned: it was the legendary "Invisibility Potion".

"But my 'Demon Breaker Arrow' is no longer able to be used continuously, so if he does drink the 'Invisibility Potion', it will be infinitely difficult to continue the pursuit. He carefully and rigorously calculated: "But as a cloud hunter, I have an excellent skill that is enough to crack the 'invisibility potion'. ”

What's more, the golden mark on his body is so abrupt, just like the lighthouse and navigation beacon on the sea, which makes people see it all. He smiled faintly and began to bend his bow and arrows, and the arrows in his hands once again gathered the aura of magic, but this time, it showed a faint blue luster.

Pol's form had vanished due to the potion of the potion, but the Cloud Hunter's expression had not changed in any way.

"I've heard that drinking such a large amount of magic potions will overdraw the user's vitality. He thought to himself as the blue light slowly moved from the end of the arrow to the arrow.

It didn't burst, it just focused calmly, like a beautiful light elf clinging to an object, but, surprisingly, the Cloud Hunter turned his back calmly, and then pulled the bowstring towards a corner that seemed to be invisible.

If all the famous archery masters on the continent were gathered here at this moment, they would surely be overwhelmed by the cloud hunter's crazy move.

But the Cloud Hunter only kept that faint smile, and didn't seem to realize that he had completely violated the basic physical principles of archery.

The arrow carried an elegant and brilliant blue light, and in an instant, it glided through the air for an extremely long distance, and at the same time, not even a trace of Bol was visible from everyone's sight, including the Cloud Hunter.

"I swear to fight the enemies of the Valley of the Eagles to the death, and to defend the justice of the world to the death. "Twenty-five years ago, the old lord Riddle, who had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, solemnly made this lifelong vow that could never be broken under the light of the altar of the sun god, but time flies, and now, how will you fulfill your old promise?

There was a cool breeze with a slight chill in the distance, and the magic arrows flying in the air suddenly appeared in a blue light, and then instantly lingered around the whole body of the arrows, and then the arrows seemed to be guided by some mysterious power, suddenly turned the arrows, and then shot towards a seemingly ordinary place by the stream.

The sound of breaking the sky screamed, like the roar of a banshee.

"The mountain range is broken into two parts, and it is powerless to restore its original flawless appearance", the Valley of the Eagle was considered imperfect at the beginning of its birth, but the brilliant light appeared here more than once, like a curse of fate.

Then the arrow sank into an unseen target in an unstoppable motion, and the light exploded like a concentrated burst of energy. Immediately afterwards, a thin figure actually appeared again, and knelt on one knee, the shoulder blade had been pierced by the arrow, but the golden mark was still spreading throughout the body.

"The golden mark I just made to you is the 'Legendary Hunter Mark' unique to the Cloud Hunter family, no matter what, it will attach to your body for a period of time, and it is connected to the blue 'Tracking Arrow', which can make the Tracking Arrow ignore any magic effect and accurately hit the target through the guidance of the marker. With the power of magic, the bow will become more and more perfect. That's the only rule of magic bowing. He said.

Affected by the explosion of magical aura, the mountain spring water bag in Pol's hand finally broke and slipped to the ground. Then the Cloud Hunter could clearly see that a transparent, fresh-scented potion was flowing out of the pouch and soaking the icy ground.

At this moment, Bol was already tied down. "I will take you to prison and hope that you will be freed soon. The Cloud Hunter said as he stared at the water bag, "Is this potion, which I have never seen before, the holy medicine for Lady Rita tonight?" Then he twisted Pol's arm and began to walk towards the place where the guards had gathered.

Meanwhile, within the Lord's Castle, a few blocks away, Lord Hayes was scanning his surroundings with an angry look, not even noticing Eric's exhaustion.

"How do you take care of the herb room! If you don't get the potion tonight, Lady Rita will lose her life, don't you know? Why? You bastards!" all the guards bowed their heads and serious expressions, and Hayes was in the center, the one who was most anguish in his heart.

"Tell your lord, Lord Cloud Hunter claims to have captured the thief and is now imprisoned in the dungeon. Do you want to leave at once?" said one of the later guards, trembling.

"I'm going to have to skin him!" Hayes said menacingly as he left the room and rushed to the heavily guarded castle dungeon.

"This guy calls himself Pol, and I think there's a good chance he's sent by the Black Hand. In front of the prison gate, the Cloud Hunter said to Hayes who had roared to this place. However, the lord only pushed his body away without mercy, and then ordered the guards to open the dungeon door directly in front of him.

"Report to the lord, according to the laws and regulations of the Holy Wing Empire and the Valley of the Eagles, those who commit such crimes must be sentenced to death, so as to serve as a warning to future generations. A prison judge said as he faced Hayes.

The Cloud Hunter was silent: This matter is very bad, and if you don't do it, it will completely destroy the mood and will of the lord..."

"Did the Grey Eagle send a message informing Lord Riddle to return to the Valley of the Eagles?" asked one of the guards, in a trembling voice.

"Attention, tomorrow at dawn, this person must be immediately brought to the Glorious Execution Bench in the center of the Territory, and executed in front of everyone. Hayes was furious and said, "As for my father, tell him that I want him to return soon." ”

Then he regained his composure, shook his head, and left the dungeon sadly. The Cloud Hunter followed, his brow furrowed.

The atmosphere between the two who were silent was dull and subtle, and in the blink of an eye, the dawn of the sky had flashed, and at the same time, the figures of the two also came to the "Glory Execution Table" in the center of the entire Eagle Valley.

Legend has it that only the most unforgivable criminals were executed here, and after many years, it has been the most brutal place in the Valley of the Eagles.
