291 A bag of astrolabes

"Lauren......

Celestial King City, the headquarters of the Hunting Circle, in Lauren's office.

Thunderstorms have been raining for days, and people are panicking. The fireplace was blazing, and Lauren was sunk in her chair, rubbing her brow irritably.

"Boom!"

The thunder rang out, and Lauren opened her eyes and looked at the figure standing in the doorway.

That's his adjutant.

Lauren asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The adjutant's face turned pale: "A few more brothers died." Died of heart palsy. ”

“……”

A nameless fire rushed straight to his head, Lauren's eyes straightened, and it took a lot of effort to restrain the anger!

He took a deep breath and asked, "How many brothers?" How many are many? ”

"Ugh. Twenty-seven. ”

Boom!

With just one blow, Lauren smashed the desk in front of him in half!

In the midst of a loud noise, he looked up, his bloodshot eyes flashing with a beastly brilliance: "How many?" Twenty-seven? ”

“…… Be. ”

The adjutant was a little nervous, and he loosened his collar.

It takes a lot of money to train an adventurer, and the death of twenty-seven warriors in wartime is not something that can be easily accepted, let alone now, when there is no war?

Lauren's family is not thick.

Twenty-seven people, one-tenth of the troops under his command, how could he calm down!

The adjutant continued, "Lord Lauren, there is one more thing that I must report to you...... We caught two deserters. ”

Lauren jerked her head up.

The adjutant waved his hand and shouted, "Bring in!" ”

Two big men tied up by flowers staggered into the room. There was no shame on their faces, but a lawless ruffian.

Lauren didn't know them.

He sat behind the broken desk and looked at them with disdain: "Cowardice before you fight, run away in embarrassment!" What about your glory as adventurers? Or is it ...... Have I done you a wrong? ”

One of them said loudly, "Lord Lauren, you have done us no wrong. It's really a dangerous situation, so I have to go. ”

Another person also said: "If you take your brothers as fools, then don't blame us for not being righteous!" ”

Lauren squinted, trying to contain her anger.

The latter continued: "Lord Lauren, you don't know how many brothers have died in the last two days, do you? One moment ago, the brothers who were still alive and talking, talking and laughing, suddenly clutched their chests and died on the spot the next moment! After the investigation, you said that it was a sudden illness...... Hehe, what kind of sudden illness can make an adventurer die suddenly? What kind of sudden illness can make more than ten or twenty brothers hit? ”

Lauren is one head and two big, and he really can't answer this question.

It's not that he can't say it, he doesn't dare to say it, the main thing is that even he doesn't know why. Their opponents are like the Grim Reaper, silently harvesting human lives.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the silence in the room was deafening!

He looked up and saw that his lieutenant was silent.

The two Glow Guards who escorted the two men in were also silent.

The men, like the two deserters, looked up at Lauren and were asking for answers.

No.

It doesn't make sense.

Since ancient times, how can deserters question their leaders? The kid aggressively interrogated Lauren, no matter what was right or wrong, the adjutant and the escort should give him a kick and reprimand him for being bold!

But now?

They are indifferent, they also want to know the answer -

How did the brothers who died violently in the past two days die?

Is there a way to deal with it?

Next......

Is it their turn?

Lauren wanted to be angry, he wanted to angrily denounce the disrespectful people in front of him, and even thought that it was not wrong for him to draw his sword and kill people now.

But he soon realized that he didn't have the strength to get angry.

"Heart palsy. Even the Heavenly Cutting Divine Sword of the Fourteenth Realm, Langbo Elma, died of heart palsy......"

If this "curse" appears on him Lauren, does he have the means to deal with it?

Like, no.

Lauren sighed tiredly and said, "It's not that I'm hiding it, it's that I don't know what's going on. ”

“……”

The adjutant was silent for a moment, and boldly asked, "Lord Lauren, does the Arc Priest know?" If she can come forward to appease, I think it can stabilize the morale of the army. ”

"Arc light doesn't show up. The senior cadres in the guidance group, they will not show their faces. ”

In the flash of thunder, Lauren looked at the adjutant.

The smile on his lips was sarcastic: "No one can determine the cause of 'heart palsy', only that it is a curse for the time being." The people in the guidance group were worried about being tricked and took the initiative to self-isolate, and I heard that those big people even cooked for themselves, so they were worried that the curse was related to food. ”

Ahh

The adjutant was at a loss: "Then we ......"

Lauren leaned over, the drawer of his desk could not be pulled out, and he used his strength to take out a letter that had already been written from it: "There is a pawn shop on Tianwang Avenue, the one with the blue curtain. That's the communication channel that the Blood Rose has specially left for us, and you take this letter and give it to the treasurer. ”

The adjutant took it and saw six words neatly written on the envelope: "General Tianwang respectfully."

He looked up: "This is?" ”

Lauren's face was grim, and he suddenly remembered the night he and Arclight went to meet the Dragon Counselor.

At that time, he thought that General Tianwang was just a toothless sick tiger.

But now......

He shook his head and said, "I can't understand the methods of General Tianwang. A legend is indeed a legend, someone who can bring a community to number 1 and face the gods more directly...... After all, it's not something I can guess. I admit defeat and surrender, I hope this letter can make him open the net and let me go! ”

“…… I'll do it right away. ”

The adjutant nodded immediately and turned to leave.

Lauren looked at the two deserters in the room, waved his hand, and said, "Kill, double the pension." ”

"Yes."

The escort pressed the two deserters and left the room.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and it was gradually pouring down.

……

……

Heavenly King City, Dragon Manor.

Zuo Chang was in front of the stove, he lowered his head and looked at the god in his arms: "Can't you go out yet?" ”

The god decisively refused: "No, this rain is the rain of reconnaissance, and it is a magic performed by the Hesse clan, the descendants of the god of water." As soon as the two of us are exposed to the rain, they will immediately perceive the specific location - at this stage, it is better to keep quiet. ”

Zuo Chang looked at the pitch-black sky and asked, "Is their mana unlimited?" How long will it rain? ”

"Don't rush. We can stay out of the house all the time, can they keep it raining? ”

“……”

It seems that this is the truth.

"Father."

"General."

The door was opened, and the True Bow, the Bird, the Dragon Warrior, and the War Demon returned at the same time, and Zuo Chang asked, "Have you got the astrolabe?" ”

Long Cruche opened a sack in front of him and said, "Do not fail in your mission." All the astrolabes have been retrieved. ”

Zuo Chang stretched his neck and looked-

A bag full of "astrolabes".
