Chapter 143: It seems that I have gotten some terrible love
In the next two days, Eco's doppelganger was on standby, going out from time to time to accompany the classmates around him to find information.
Four of them, one in each of the four corners of the southeast, north, and west, covered the cottage with spiritual power, and took in all the actions of the bandits.
The goal of the group of bandits who left the gate was not what Eco imagined, to rob the house, but ...... Came to a place where Eco only stayed for a day, or even half a day, but it was a place that would never be forgotten.
That place meant a lot to Eco, and it could even be said that it was her "place of rebirth", which was Eco's first stop in this world, the eastern mountains, and it was there that she met her first friend, Nora Harrison, who was suspected to be a time-traveler from elsewhere.
And at this time, this is the place where the bandits entered, and when they came here, they began to ...... Hunt.
That's right, it's hunting, all the way, whether it's a first-order Warcraft or an ordinary wild animal (basically the food of Warcraft), they all beat it unceremoniously, and then when the hunting is almost over, the bandits carry their prey back.
In this case, that would explain why even when the looted materials could not meet the food requirements of an entire cottage, the bandits were still able to live so nourishingly, Eco thought.
However, Eco, who had been patiently squatting for a few days, got most of the information she wanted, but failed to get the reason why the bandit group settled here. Then I contacted the Falling Sound Academy, and in order not to waste too much time here, Mr. Varvari and half of the teachers resolutely decided to attack this place with all their might without causing any damage if they didn't get enough information within three days, and they had found the location of this place.
Eco didn't fail to understand that Mr. Valvari was anxious, after all, the destination of their trip was the Elven Forest, but on the other hand, the bandit group in this place was naturally not easy to leave alone; So, even if they couldn't get specific information, they had no choice but to make such a decision.
After all, she felt it personally, although this bandit group is called a bandit group, but the murderous aura on the bandits is not much, if it is the general kind of bandit group full of evil, after being a bandit for three years, they have naturally burned and plundered everything, so the murderous aura on their bodies is naturally impossible to wash away lightly, and it is not easy to hide it.
In other words, for the raiding operations of this bandit group, if you think about the situation to the extreme...... It is possible that he has not seen human blood in action at all.However, according to Eco's observation, it seems that this is because the leader of this bandit group is suppressing the killing intent of the bandits and restraining their behavior to this point.So, in this case, if the Luoyin Academy rashly attacked and caused damage, even if the teachers had the attitude of "if they can not kill, they will not kill", but the sword has no eyes, and the overall strength of the bandits is not as good as that of Luoyin, But it is not weak, and the combat experience of the students is naturally not enough to match that of the teachers and the bandits.
So the question is, for these guys who came to the door, a group of bandits who were originally big and rough, and originally implied a lot of ferocity, how could they still take care of it when they got into a fight? Therefore, it is very likely that many students will fall into disadvantage at the moment of the battle, and there will be danger. If the students are in a dangerous situation, the teachers will probably have to kill even if they are unwilling, right? In that case, the bandits and Luoyin will inevitably fight each other.
Moreover, who can guarantee that after being attacked, this group of bandits, who were originally coarse and uneducated, would have no resentment in their hearts? Will there be no idea that "Lao Tzu has never harmed anyone, but they have been killed like this"? Under such thoughts, I am afraid that there will always be many evil and courageous characters among this group of bandits, right? After the people of the Falling Sound Academy leave, this place may shed a lot of innocent blood.
Of course, the above is all Eco's hypothesis...... But if something is not done, such a scenario may not become a reality.
As a last resort, Eco decided to make a move.
As for how to do it...... Let's play the big demon king once in a while, how about oss?
Dividing line
As the leader of this bandit group, Benjamin Esin Atiró has never felt that he is lucky. In order to avoid possible persecution, at the age of thirty-two, he escaped from the royal capital with only two of his most loyal guards, and came to this place.
And he's knowing. When the Tao could not completely get the bandits to give up their old business of buying and selling, he turned to limit the upper limit of the food that the bandits could rob the peasants, and often personally let his guards take the bandits to hunt, and then obtain food in addition to the grain obtained from the robbery.
And this effect is also obvious, after three years of hard work, this group of bandits has been able to follow his ideas, without causing killing and excessive exploitation of others, to obtain enough survival resources, and he himself simply gave up his original prominent identity, and started to mingle like this, in this remote corner for a lifetime, and then see if there is any plan to make a breakthrough in cultivation.
However, even with such a wishful thinking in his heart, something unfortunate happened to him.
On an ordinary evening, a strong oppressive force suddenly came from the sky above their cottage, and from the mouths of the two old guards who had reached the sixth order, he knew a very sad fact, that is, the cultivation of this uninvited guest was really the seventh order.
Okay, since that's the case, let's put down the swords, bows and crossbows in our hands, and see what advice this senior has This can only be the case, the soul is weak! Seventh-order cultivators can't beat them at all, okay?!
However, fortunately, this senior does not seem to be the person sent by the current emperor to clean up his youngest brother, but the person who came to the door by himself and had nothing to do with Benjamin himself.
So, should you be glad? It should be, right? Judging from the other party's attitude, there is no intention of cutting yourself at all?
However, in the actual course of the conversation, the idea of such a blessing slowly turned into cautiousness, and into restlessness, is there any mistake, what is the situation with the inorganic expression on the face of this senior from beginning to end? What is your attitude towards us? Looking at the crane-haired and childish old man who has the temperament of a fairy wind and bones but an inorganic expression that Eco has used the transformation technique, Benjamin only feels like he is sitting on pins and needles, for fear that he will make the other party feel dissatisfied if he casually says the wrong wordAnd then give yourself a casual moment that is not a fun thing.
However, although it is not deliberately created, such a conversation atmosphere is naturally very beneficial to Eco. Only by giving Benjamin a little pressure, the other party can only fully explain his secrets.
Thereupon...... As for why Benjamin was able to say this secret without hesitation, except for the oppression brought by her inorganic face, he had to say it, I am afraid that Eco did not come to him because of his hidden identity, if so, he would not dare to say it even if he died.
The secret is that the original identity of the bandit leader in front of him turned out to be the prince of the Attiro Empire, Benjamin Essin Attiro, who was supposed to be regarded as the pride of the sky and was born with a golden key!
He was the youngest child of a previous emperor who had accidentally given birth to a child when he was "too old to have children" (Benjamin's words), and after the previous emperor died in his bed more than twenty years ago, the current emperor, Sánchez Denis Atiro, who had been the eldest prince, succeeded to the throne.
As for Benjamin, he grew up in the big cage of the Imperial City under semi-house arrest.
Originally, Benjamin's future should be like this, he has been living as a powerless prince in this imperial city until the death of Emperor Sanchez, and then he may be liberated. Benjamin, who is not stupid, and his two loyal servants left by the first emperor naturally knew what it meant to be "clumsy", but when he was thirty-two years old, his fourth-order cultivation was finally discovered by the emperor.
"As for the truth of my words...... I can't prove it myself, but if my predecessor went to the Imperial City to ask, someone should still remember it, right?" Benjamin shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, but he still thought in his heart, "Actually, if this senior really wants to determine my identity...... Actually, it is also possible, as long as I find the little princess in my heart, the youngest daughter of the current emperor, but! That is the only thing I really regard as my family! But how could I let you, a guy of unknown origin, come into contact with my little princess?"
However, to borrow a phrase from Nora, who thinks she has a deep understanding of fate, "What a trick this thing is fate...... At this time, Benjamin could not have imagined that Eco not only met the little princess without knowing it, but also became friends with her......
However, let's not talk about these aside, after chatting with Benjamin, I basically confirmed in my heart that Benjamin and his bandit group are not together. [,!] Echo, who would not make a very excessive mistake, had already decided in his heart to protect this cottage from the Academy of Falling Sound...... As for what the plan is, then please let the following reveal it for you~~
