Chapter 144: The Fuse
Sauron looked at Lin with a shocked face, but what he saw was only a beast-shaped mask, but he couldn't see the expression of the person under the mask, and because of this, he was even more frightened, Sauron's fierce reaction attracted the attention of everyone around him, Leke was in the center, but he didn't notice Sauron, this child is a genius Yes, the composition of this perfume is mysterious, and it is already difficult to unravel one or two, and it is absolutely impossible for a child to complete all the reverse decomposition.
But what is the reason for the horror on this child's face, seeing Lin Zhileke came to the two of them with self-understanding, and comforted Sauron after helping him up, in the bald head it seems that Sauron should be frightened by Lin's mask, or frightened by Lin's true face, no matter which one it is, it can't be Lin's fault, so just appease Sauron's habits.
After looking at Leke with a pleading eye and finding it useless, Sauron could only nod, and then cautiously returned to his position, staring at the alchemy table in a daze, but occasionally looked up at Lin, Lin knew that what he said was too amazing, and Sauron's reaction did reflect his words, Alf once said that there was a friendship between Ryan and Goron, and Lin only listened to the rumors about this necromancer who could be named a natural disaster, and the reason why he suddenly asked such a sentence, he didn't know why, so he asked so involuntarily, thinking about it carefully, in fact, this should be his own sudden interest after the seal。
This feeling is really unpleasant!
"Don't I have another copy here? You can continue the experiment, I'll just look at it, and if you have any doubts, you can come to me after class." After saying that, Lin pushed the perfume in front of Sauron, and sat down with his eyes closed.
Leke looked at Lin's state and snorted coldly, when everyone thought that he was going to reprimand, the bald mentor actually turned around and returned to his alchemy platform, and didn't care about him, since the mentor didn't speak, then no one said anything, and the attention was on the trial platform. Naturally, no one noticed that after getting the bottle of perfume, Sauron showed a strange smile that was completely inconsistent with his age.
In the territory of the Kotler Empire, in front of a mountain pass.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, an old voice came from the ornate carriage, and the whole team immediately stopped, the golden knight spear flag of the Binis Empire hunted in the wind, and a knight in pale golden armor turned his horse's head from the front of the team and came to the carriage and asked, "What does the messenger command?"
"Let us camp here and rest, if we are tired. ”
The knight couldn't help but be stunned, it's only noon now, the cold day is at the head, the walking distance is not more than a hundred miles, the frame has also been specially transformed, the comfort is abnormal, and there is a wind magic array that keeps the air flowing, how can it be said that the camp is not moving forward?
"Messenger, this is nothing more than ......"
"Let's set up camp here. Another old voice came out in the carriage, the knight paused and waved his hand to prepare for the camp, as an envoy, a hundred miles a day can not be said to be less, but definitely not much, why suddenly stopped, this is the knight is most puzzled, since the itinerary is different, there must be a change, they need to be careful, pay attention to avoid accidents.
The knight led his team to inspect the surrounding situation, in front of a small mountain pass, the mountains on both sides were a little steep, and sent people up to check and found nothing abnormal, so the people above did not come down again, leaving to act as a sentry, watching the surrounding situation, after coming out of the empire, he was a little uneasy in his heart, after entering the Kotler Empire, this feeling was even stronger, the envoy team suddenly stopped now, is it that the envoy in the team also found an abnormality, so it ......
Looking back at the four fields, the wild grass is all over the end of the sight, under the sun, there are still shadows, if there is an accident, then this is the hidden danger.
Ordered to expand the scope of the inspection, the knight returned to the carriage, a white-haired old man in an off-white robe was slowly walking down from the carriage, different from the ordinary old man, although this old man also walked with something, but this thing was a knight's gun, the body of the gun was mottled all over, it seemed to have been used for a long time, but the tip of the gun was as bright as new, and the cold light was overflowing.
Binisdi is a knight empire, all-round martial arts, among which there are the most knights, this old man is also one of the many seven-star knights in the empire, the level of the seven stars is probably equivalent to the first-class martial god, such an old man is carrying an imperial knight gun, this old man is also old and strong, admirable.
And this old man is the patriarch of the Rylocke family in the Binis Empire, and he is also one of the twelve knights in the empire who is less than ten stars but has the position of a great knight, as the leader of this mission, his position is also important enough, this kind of glory is not even asked for by others, but Barron's face is extremely ugly, from the moment he received the order from the envoy, Barron's face has been gloomy.
Influenced by him, the entourage was cautious, although I don't know why this big knight is like this, but be careful, if something happens, just obey the arrangement, after all, this old man has a super high command talent, which is one of the reasons why he can rank among the twelve knights.
"Are you worried?" the voice from the carriage waited for Barron to stand still, and the voice was full of desolation, which made Barron listen a little sadly.
"That's all you can do, the Empire has given up on you and me. The wrinkles on Barron's face trembled, and his face without a trace of stubble was full of helplessness and sadness, "Pity these children, they should still have a chance to grow up, but they all have to accompany you and me back to the arms of God." ”
After speaking, Barron looked around, looked at the busy figure in front of him, sighed but did not speak, but the hand holding the knight's spear turned white because of the force, and a pair of tiger eyes were full of silent anger, but the mortal empire sent envoys to other countries, all of them were headed by the royal family, and the envoys must also be carefully selected, they must be both civil and military, and they must be knowledgeable and powerful in order to not lose the face of the country, but this time the Binis Empire only sent a prince of the side branch of the royal family, and this prince is also old, has no real power, and his actual status is even inferior to Barron。
"Then when do you think it will be done?" The voice coming from the carriage trembled slightly, but Barron knew that it was not that the prince was afraid, in the Binis Empire, loyalty to the empire until death was the basic of all the royal family, and the reason why he trembled was because although the prince had already known the result, he didn't want to be tormented by the process, nothing more.
"Old friend, what do you think we should do?" Barron replied with a sneer after thinking for a moment, but the people in the car were not talking, since Barron didn't know, then there was only one word to do: wait.
In the evening, the campfire was lit, and the light of the fire stood out in the wilderness, and as night fell, the fire burned brighter and brighter, and the knights divided themselves into the fire to keep warm, and from time to time there were bursts of laughter.
Under the double moon, in the cold wind, ghostly figures crouched and shuttled across the wasteland, the withered grass rustled, and between the shadows and shadows, the figures gathered more and more, and there was a tendency to surround the camp, but the camp did not respond, only the sound of the wind and the crackling of burning wood reverberated everywhere in the silent wilderness.
Feeling the abnormality, a black figure made a gesture to the person behind him, and the four figures rushed out, heading straight for the two sentry knights on the mountain pass, the mountain pass is not high, and the speed of the figure is extremely fast, in less than ten breaths, the four black shadows rushed up in the moonlight, and the black shadow suddenly changed direction and rushed to the sentry between twists, and the blade in his hand pierced the throat of the other party directly, but the feeling from the hand was completely different from usual.
At a fixed glance, it was actually a straw man wearing cavalry armor, and the previous shaking was only because of the strong wind in the mountain pass, and the poor vision added to the illusion.
Fooled!
Seeing that the people on the hill signaled to him, the leader immediately waved his hand and the whole team rushed up to the camp, but when he rushed to the camp, he only saw empty tents and wagons, and campfires that were about to burn out, and there was no one in the camp except for some unnecessary supplies.
I don't know when, everyone in this camp has been evacuated, even the sentries on the mountain, such a strange result makes everyone can't, don't want to, and can't believe it, it was more than a hundred people, before rushing up, but I heard the camp talking and laughing, where did this person go?
"Scatter and search, you shouldn't have gone far!" The words fell, and a hundred and ten figures scattered in all directions, and there was no one in the camp, and the leader who gave the order came to the tent in the middle of the camp, and in the tent there was only a small delicate table, no taller than knees, and a piece of paper on it, as if waiting for the leader to come in and check it.
Picking up the piece of paper, I saw a few words written on it, "Warm invitation, it's hard to enjoy, the old man will take a step first, and there will be a period later." ”
"Damn!" the leader smashed the letter in his hand to death, and shouted angrily: "They must have already crossed the mountain pass, all assemble and chase me!" But when the moon set and the sun rose, the pursuers went out of the mountain pass and followed the trail for fifty miles, not only did they not catch up, but even the last trace disappeared, and the whole mission disappeared as if by magic.
"What should I do? The rear is still waiting for our news. A man who looked like a deputy stood next to the leader and whispered, and the leader snorted coldly and said: "Continue to look for it first, and then report back to the headquarters if you can't find it, no matter what, as long as the mission has an accident in the Kotler Empire, whether it is ambushed or missing, then the Kotler Empire owes the empire an explanation, their mission has not been completed, we can wait on the way home." ”
But no one expected that after ten days, the mission that had been recorded in the documents of the two countries never appeared again, not even a trace of it.
Fifteen days later, the royal family of the Kotler Empire received a letter of condemnation from the Binis Empire, demanding that the mission that had been missing for nearly half a month be found within ten days, otherwise it would send troops to attack.
The Terran war that swept through the two empires officially kicked off with the disappearance of an embassy as the fuse.
