Chapter 24: Pursuit!
"They're gone, and it looks like there's no way to get my bounty." Kane clasped his hands on his chest and looked at Neroth, who was crouching on the ground studying the traces of magic. "You just misjudged! You almost killed me, are you mages so unreliable? ”
Nelus smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect this guy to be a melee mage after all, but his strength is not very strong, you see, he can't beat you, right?" Neros looked a little embarrassed, he really didn't expect his misjudgment.
"That guy came to you just now."
"Well, that's right."
"Can't you Magic Guild people stop him?" Kane wondered about this guy who was a bit of a pit.
"Hey, look." Neroth pointed in the direction of Yorick, "Our men are all on Hank Street, and there are no more people in the guild." That guy just now wasn't easy. ”
Kane looked in his direction, and in the midst of the fire, Master Yorick was picking up the magic marks left by the explosion, and the corpses on the ground were lying on the ground, originally night, but now they were as bright as day.
The battle was so miserable that it affected half of Harrens' country.
Luther quietly approached Kane, his blindfold already removed.
"Come with me." Luther said to Kane plainly, and did not give Kane a chance to think for a moment. Kane glanced at Nelus and then followed Luther away.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go, at least get me to Mr. Yorick's! Neroth yelled at the two who ran away, but they didn't get the slightest response, and they didn't bother to pay attention to this unreliable guy from the Magic Association.
"Hey, I won't send the Buddha to the west." Nehris complained.
"Where are we going?" Kane asked Luther, who was running ahead.
"Hunt down the remaining dark wizards, and you can make a big bounty this time." Luther replied.
"What the hell are those guys all about? It seems that there are different camps among the wizards who attacked us this time, and their relationship does not seem to be friendly. Kane ran hard, trying not to put himself too far away.
"Maybe, these guys aren't easy. Be careful later, don't be foolish and rush forward. Leave the charge to the savage orc, and he'll make a way for us. Luther reminded Kane.
"You mean Cyrus?"
"Of course, who else is as nervous as he likes to rush forward, and likes to shout the stupid slogans of their orcs when he has nothing to do. Relying on his strong muscles, he is very fierce in a violent state, but his IQ has dropped a lot, or - there is no IQ at all. ”
The berserk Cyrus has always been the target of Luther's complaints, because this guy always likes to rush to the front line with his strong body, plus his natural magic resistance, and even his teammates are difficult to distinguish when fighting.
Cyrus was chasing down the coalition of rebellious nobles of the dynasty, and in his rage, he attacked the entire cavalry squad of 100 men. His massive body rushed into the crowd, grabbing everything he could use as a weapon and throwing it at the enemies around him.
At that time, Cyrus was about to attack the leader of the enemy army, but he did not expect that the cheat teammates did not pay attention to the situation on his side, grabbed a boulder on the ground and threw it at their side, and Luther was forced to give up this good opportunity.
The rebels spotted him and pursued him, and Luther ran for most of the day to get rid of the persistent cavalry, and from then on, Luther retreated from Cyrus.
Kane kept Luther's secret in his heart, in fact, even if he didn't say that Kane would do it, after all, life is the most important thing, the so-called loyalty, swearing allegiance to Hammer This oath is only temporary, and trying to make yourself strong is the king.
They made their way through a shattered street and jumped onto a low building, and Luther surveyed his surroundings with his dark green pupils, spotting the imprint of fire magic left by Anne.
"Head north." He leaped down, his steps light. Kane continued to follow.
The two walked all the way to the Champ de Mars Square, where the soldiers of the various armies were busy following orders and rushing in all directions. The Silver Armored Lancers were waiting for the two of them in the square. They were brought two horses in armor.
The two of them got on their horses and followed them all the way, and on the way Kane asked Luther where they were going, but Luther didn't say anything, but told Kane the word "black market".
It seems that all the sources are directed at the black market area, and the black market, which has always been under the jurisdiction of the dynasty, has attracted so many spearmen today, and Kane has an ominous premonition in his heart.
The commander of the Lancer Regiment on the road was silent, they did not enter from the elevator that they normally entered, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for so many people to walk from that place. They chose another slum entrance in the middle of nowhere.
They encountered a little trouble on the way forward, a few shirtless men with shoddy cigarettes in their mouths, their greasy faces, not at all afraid in the face of the neat regiment of spearmen, squinting at the army in front of them.
These guys are always so arrogant because they are backed by the black market.
They put their blunt knives on their shoulders, took a puff of cigarettes, exhaled slowly, and asked, "The black market area is forbidden for all troops to enter." ”
"On the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, the Hammer Silver Lance Rider has come to arrest the wizards who endanger the dynasty!" The regimental commander said coldly to the man who was blocking the road.
"Hmph." The man snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "The black market is not under the control of your Emperor Majesty!" This is a place outside the law! ”
The regimental commander silently raised the silver spear in his hand, and the knight behind him also moved, and the clanging sound of metal colliding was extremely clear at this moment. The smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.
Even in the face of so many knights, several big men still did not have the slightest fear, and they looked at the knights with playful expressions. The regiment commander spat out a cold word "kill" from his mouth.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of metal, the knight's spear fired, the regimental commander pierced the big man in front with a shot, Kane cut off the head of one of them with a sword, Luther had the fastest hand, his flying knife was a sharp weapon for life, the blade cut through the throat of the enemy, and blood beads flew up.
"Onward! Blocker, kill! "The iron horsemen of the Knights of the Silver Spear broke through the dark alleys, the neighing of their horses and the chiseling of iron hooves mingled. The Black Market City Guards who came out of the road came out to intercept them with axes and blades, and Kane slashed down his horse one by one.
Wails rang out in many places, and the already chaotic black market became even more chaotic.
The Wormtail Tavern was temporarily closed for the day, and a blond man had a look of despair on his face, his clothes shabby, and his linen-colored robes looked like they hadn't been washed in a long time.
The man who stood in front of the door and paused for a long time seemed to think for a moment, yawned listlessly and walked in another direction, and said in his mouth, "I can't drink today's wine." ”
The man walked into an alley, and a thin man ran inside, and he smiled with joy on his face when he saw the blonde man, "Lord Ivan! I've found you, and today the Messenger Bird Guild has a lot of Harrance knights, and they're asking for news about the wizards last time. ”
Ivan pushed the man away, walked all the way forward, and said, "Oh, just ask, just ask, just give me money." What's the point of telling them, these things are trivial, the Wormtail Tavern isn't open today, and I won't even have a chance to watch Jimmy's showdown, but I'm betting on it! ”
He kept complaining as he went, not paying the slightest attention to what the man said, for him, Harrens' army was coming, what did it matter to him, it wouldn't affect him in the slightest, but the tavern was not open for business today.
The two of them returned to the Messenger Bird Guild, an underground black market organization specializing in collecting information and trading, and Ivan joined this organization after wandering here half a year ago, and then became a party to it because of his knowledge, knowledge, and knowledge of many ciphers.
He was so famous in this area that even the president treated him with great courtesy.
There were many knights waiting in front of the union, with silver armor and silver swords at their waists, and silver spears in their hands. Named the Silver Lancer because of its silver armor, this equipment was a key force in Harrens.
Ivan walked into the union regardless of everyone's eyes, and passed the union corridor, where the people who hurried along the road bowed to him and greeted him. Ivan returned to his studio, where Munit had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as he entered, he saw Munet, but his face did not change, and he did not even say a greeting to the great man of the dynasty.
Ivan poured himself a glass of Longway and took a big sip of it.
"What do you want, several? Different information has different prices, if you need to send additional services, you can do it, but the price has to be negotiated, and you need to add money. Ivan lay on the couch and added some more wine to his glass.
Munett pulled out a portrait of a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, whose triangular eyes were striar. "I think you should have information about this gentleman."
Ivan took his painting, looked at it for a moment, and after a little thought, replied affirmatively: "Of course I have seen it, this guy is not simple." Do you need his information, the price is not low? ”
"You make an offer, I need his details, and besides, I want to know where he is now."
"Two hundred gold coins, I can sort out a detailed information for you, but if you want his location now...," Ivan thought for a moment and said, "The current location is a bit difficult to find, but it will take some time, and I will give it to you in two days." ”
Munnette looked surprised to hear his answer, because the person in the painting was Abides, who attacked Hank tonight.
It took him a great deal of effort to roughly deduce Abides' appearance with the Prophecy Crystal, and he was not too suspicious that Ivan could find Abides' information, after all, the messenger bird had many eyes and ears.
A dark wizard like Abrides must have been in the black market, and it's not unusual for someone here to record some information, but he should have been hiding his tracks since tonight's attack.
In this case, it should be impossible for Ivan to find them, because even Munet's own prophecy crystal could not find any trace of him.
Munet, who was born with a special ability to prophecy and deduction, was troubled by the dark wizard, so he just came to the black market to try his luck and find some useful information.
Ivan only smiled at Munet's surprised attitude: "Don't be too surprised, we have a way to find out such rats in the dark."
But how did Haralands' army get to the black market and do it, which is not a good thing, and the whole black market has been muddied by you. ”
"This is His Majesty the Emperor's order, and the black market is really too helpful to those dark wizards this time."
"Oh! It turned out that the emperor was venting his anger, but this seems to have gone a little too far, and it won't end well later. Ivan said leisurely.
Munet didn't say anything more, and after saying goodbye to Ivan, he left the Messenger Bird Guild.
