"Wow, he's just beautiful bubbling in the sun, isn't he, Icarus?"

Kassandra smiled quietly without looking back.

Her eagle glided quietly and landed in the corner of the cage where the wolf was kept, and let out a low chirp.

As if in approval.

But then, Kassandra turned her gaze off the hillside and landed on Icarus, her face turning disgusted.

"Of course, it's okay if you don't try to please me! No way! This time I was almost found out because you weren't serious! ”

"It's getting better these days, and you've learned to enjoy slacking off, right? From heaven only men and not beasts? ”

Icarus let out a heartless 'chirp' and turned his head away.

"Hey! Look at me! I'm talking! ”

Kassandra crossed her hands on her hips and looked angrily at the eagle that landed on the corner of the cage.

"Well, then don't think about eating roasted quail for the next ten days! Give me fish! Never baked! Unspiced live fish! ”

So the eagle began to stand there and jump to his feet.

"Uh, you're communicating here?"

Lann descended from the hillside and entered the harbor as well.

He was now watching Kassandra reprimand the eagle in bewilderment.

"This is still within range of the enemy's camp, right? Isn't it a bit unstable to be so public? ”

His voice was deliberately low as he spoke.

But Kassandra, after reprimanding Icarus, turned her head and gave him a warm smile.

"Don't be nervous, Lan. I've taken care of everyone in this area, as long as it's not particularly noisy and the sound reaches the docks. ”

"Are you sure?" Lann raised his eyebrows, and looked down at Kassandra with his hands on his chest, "I remember that I was the trouble I gave you to settle just now. ”

Kassandra's face froze, and she turned her head and glanced at Icarus, who was grooming her feathers.

Then he turned around again, barely smiling: "Icarus has been eating lately, and it's not in good shape." ”

In other words, when you are in good shape, you can find all the targets in the entire camp without missing anything?

Rann secretly estimated Kassandra's abilities.

This kind of detection is rare even among witchers.

And looking at Kassandra, she trusts the effectiveness of this ability, which means that the level of reliability is second to none.

Play through Icarus. The two of them have some kind of telepathy?

"Why are you here? I remember you promised Fauber to deal with the plague. ”

Kassandra leaned against the wall, looking at Ryan with her hands on her chest.

"If I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to have a problem with the One-Eyed Man. You've just arrived, but you've only killed two of his minions, and no one knows about it. ”

Lan En shook his head calmly at this question.

"The plague is no longer a problem, there are only seven people in the village who have survived, and they have all been cured. And I'm having a holiday with the one-eyed man, huh. Check this out. ”

As he spoke, Ryan pulled the papyrus out of his pocket and handed it to Kassandra.

"There's a pretty good mercenary who ambushed me on the way I passed, and that's the only clue I found from her."

"I'm a newcomer to the city, and like you said, I haven't even had a chance to mess with anyone. As a result, someone hired a mercenary who looked very expensive to kill me. I'm so curious. ”

"Who can control their curiosity? I had to come. ”

Kassandra listened to Rann tell the story of what had happened as she read the papyrus.

"Maraka! The One-Eyed Man wants to kill Marcos! The lender wants to kill the debtor, and it seems that I really annoyed him, and this guy doesn't even want the cost. ”

"Thank you, Lanne. You saved the life of that scoundrel Marcos. But have you ever thought that it was your former enemy who chased and killed you? ”

Kassandra thanked her very sincerely, and it seemed that she did care about the 'scoundrel' in her mouth.

Then, she looked up at Lan En again.

"Someone like you, I don't believe you haven't had a grudge against anyone before?"

For an ordinary little girl who has just met for a short time, she can do and kill the bandits who belong to the local head snake.

Oh, such a person is smooth sailing in such a world, and it is estimated that legends will not dare to write like this.

But Ranne's answer came as a surprise to Kassandra.

The young man was firm and confident, and without hesitation, he said, "No." ”

"I don't have any enemies in this world."

Didn't you kill all the enemies?

Kassandra almost blurted it out.

But reason still allowed her to successfully control her mouth.

"Then it looks like we have a common goal."

Kassandra smiled and stretched out her arms toward Lane.

"Let's go to the One-Eyed Together."

The witcher raised an eyebrow, stepped forward and grabbed Kassandra's forearm, shaking it up and down.

"Happy working together, Kassandra."

Icarus flew back into the sky, while Kassandra and Lane simply gave up on stealth.

Both of them feel that the other party is not simple, so since the other party has come to help, why should they be cautious?

It's just reckless!

So a man and a woman, side by side, swaggered towards the dock, which was still wailing and roaring.

——

Barnabas shouted in vain, bubbles surging to his ears as his mouth opened and closed, and the muffled sound of his begging for mercy from the water sounded strange, as if from another world.

His hands were tied behind his back, and the rope had been cut into his skin from his struggle, and the place where he had been tied was dripping with blood. Water poured through his mouth and nose, like a snake into his throat.

And to make matters worse, as the air flowed out of his lungs and his body screamed for him to take in oxygen, the notorious one-eyed man pinned him in place with his wide, thick palms.

The distance between his nose and mouth and the surface of the water was only four or five centimeters, but in this cauldron, the distance of four or five centimeters cut off all his oxygen.

Flashes and blurring begin to appear in front of the eyes, which is confusion caused by lack of oxygen and indicates that the physical state is on the verge of limit.

And suddenly, everything changed. The fleshy palm snapped away from his head, and the water in the jar fell silent. His tied gray hair and beard swayed like the tentacles of an octopus, throwing the water in all directions.

He blinked, retching, panting as he looked at the giant who was carrying him, and the other man looked at him with one eye.

"All the gods are my witnesses! I swear! ”

Before even his head was clear, Barnabas began to defend himself again under the instinct of survival.

Strive for that slim chance of survival.
