Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Mysterious Conversation

It was completely dark outside, and in the tunnel, the chubby eyes reflected the firelight, and the hatred inside was almost overflowing, as if it might rush out at any moment.

Leo chuckled in his heart, hurriedly pressed Chubby, and signaled Montoya to shut up, then dispersed the Ming Flame Technique, and asked in the lowest voice, "Chubby, what's wrong?"

Although Chubby's intelligence was not high, he also understood that he could not speak loudly at this time, so he replied in a voice that only Leo could hear: "Taste, the smell of killing Black Horn!"

Leo was surprised: "Those two people outside are the murderers who killed Black Horn?"

Chubby bared his sharp teeth, "Chubby doesn't know, but the taste ...... The taste is the same. ”

Leo touched his chubby head soothingly, and then quietly moved a few steps up. He didn't dare to poke his head out of the tunnel, but the sound outside became clearer, apparently not far away.

Montoya, who was at the end, didn't know what was going on, so she stepped forward, touched Leo lightly, and asked, "What's the situation?"

Leo replied in a low voice, "There are two people out there, most likely the murderers of Pointe-Noire." ”

Montoya heard Leo tell the story about Chubby, and her face suddenly changed, "Then what should we do?"

"Wait for them to go. Leo knew that the two sneaky guys out there were probably no way he and Montoya could deal with killing a fat minotaur druid who could teach the fat.

Montoya looked at the half-exposed night sky and asked, "What if they don't leave?"

"Then you have to stay here forever. Seeing that Montoya was about to ask a question, Leo hurriedly stopped: "Shhhhh ”

There were obviously two men outside, and one of the young men said in a voice, "Why did you choose such a place to meet, let me find it for a while." ”

Another voice, much older and hoarse, replied, "It's relatively safe here, and if it's too close to the castle, it's easy for patrols to spot." Say, how much information have you obtained?"

"Not much, the guards are too tight for me to blend into. The young man paused, and then asked, "Where are you?"

The old man replied, "I have successfully entered, but I have found nothing." You need to speed up, we don't have much time left, Lord Bishop will give the next batch of inventory by next month at the latest, if you can't complete the task, you know the consequences. ”

Hearing the bishop, the young man seemed a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will do my best to sneak in, and by the end of this month at the latest, I will definitely complete the task, and you should know my means." Then he complained: "Well, why don't you say that the lady does not send down the omen, why should we be searched all over the world, this very cold day." ”

The old man immediately scolded, "Shut up! ”

The young man also found himself speechless and changed the subject: "Okay, okay. So what if I do find it?"

The old man didn't seem to expect the young man to ask such a question, and said dissatisfiedly: "Of course it's to send me a message, I'll contact the bishop again, you've been out for so long, why don't you even know this?"

"Of course I remember the contact details. The young man smiled and continued: "If you want me to say, don't contact the bishop at all, such a great credit, how good it is for the two of us." If you really find it, you can bring it back to the head sect directly, and maybe Your Majesty will be happy and will give us both an extra reward. ”

After a short silence, the old man also seemed to be a little moved, "Let's wait until you confirm it, remember, if you find it, don't startle the snake, the strength of the shadow blade is beyond your imagination." ”

"I understand. If there is any situation, we will contact you immediately. ”

"Well, don't get me wrong, that's the most important thing. "The old people don't seem to feel at ease with the young people.

The young man finally got a little impatient and said, "How can you be mistaken, don't nag your old man." ”

The old man fell silent again, and only after a moment did he speak: "Then let's go, hurry up, I will also go to the next destination." ”

The two didn't talk again, and footsteps rang out, and they quickly disappeared into the night.

Leo didn't dare to come out immediately, and waited for a while before poking his head out of the tunnel, and couldn't help but secretly say a word of luck.

Judging from the direction of the sound, the two were right behind the big rock, and no tunnels were found.

The two of them walked out of the tunnel without any delay, and immediately walked quickly in the direction of the castle, no one knew what kind of danger would be hidden in the dark night.

As she walked, Montoya asked, "Leo, what do you think they want to do?"

Leo pondered for a moment, then replied, "I listen, they seem to be from some church, trying to enter some castle to find something. ”

Montoya asked with some concern, "Could that be our castle?"

"Are there any other castles around here?" Leo hadn't been out of the castle much after all, and he didn't know much about the surrounding situation.

Montoya was quite clear, and said, "In addition to Joseph's Castle, there are three other ones, all of whom are vassal nobles of our family. ”

After analyzing the conversation between the two, Leo asked, "Then their defenses are as tight as Joseph's Castle?"

Montoya contacted his father about his situation and said, "It should be very tight, and the recent shape is a little nervous. ”

Leo muttered, "In this case, we can't be sure of their target, but we can't rule out the possibility that it is Joseph's Castle. ”

Montoya was a little panicked, "What if it's really our castle!"

"What else can I do, inform the guards to keep watch over them. Leo replied that he had some affection for the Joseph family, but not at all to the point of making himself desperate. Otherwise, he could have sneaked out and seen what those two looked like.

Montoya couldn't think of any good way, nodded and sighed: "That's the only way." ”

Neither of them spoke again, and hurried as fast as they could, towards Joseph's Castle.

After walking for a while, Leo found that Chubby, who had turned into a reindeer form next to him, seemed to be very depressed, so he comforted: "Chubby, I hope you can understand that our current strength is not able to avenge Black Horn." When you get stronger in the future, you can find a way, okay?"

This is so fat that he can understand this, and immediately responded: "Okay, Chubby will become stronger, and then avenge the black horn!"

At this moment, Montoya also recovered from her panicked state, and happily continued: "Count me in." ”

............

When they returned to the castle, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Montoya had to take a lot of trouble to get the guards to open the door and let them in.

Entering the wall, the two of them had not walked a few steps with Chubby before they had reached the largest barracks nearby.

Montoya said to the guards at the gate, "Go and report, I want to see Uncle Blake." ”

The guard knew Montoya and knew that his identity was very noble, but he was still embarrassed: "Young master, at this time, Lord Blake is probably in ......"

"In what?"

"This ......"

"Oh, what are you talking about. I'm going to knock on the door myself. Montoya didn't wait for the guards to stop her, and she was already banging on the door.

There was a knock on the door, and a burst of women's screams came out.

Montoya wondered, "Hey, why are there women in Uncle Brecke's house? What are they doing?"

The ...... guards really didn't know how to answer.

Leo couldn't help but have a headache, it is said that Montoya is not too young, and as a nobleman, how can he not even know such a thing......

At this time, the door opened, and a sturdy man with his upper body roared angrily: "His grandmother's, which little rabbit cub dares to disturb Lao Tzu!

"Uncle Brink, it's me. "Breck and Philip have a very good relationship, so Montoya and Blake are quite familiar with each other, so they are not intimidated by each other's roars.

Blake saw the person in front of him clearly, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, but his tone softened, and said, "It turned out to be Montoya." Why did you come here on this big night?"

"Uncle, that's the ......" Montoya told the other party what had just happened.

Blake frowned and listened, and said suspiciously, "There are indeed a lot of spies from other families who have been around recently, but they are only investigating our reality. If those two are really like you say, what are they going to look for in the castle?"

"I don't know. But it's definitely something important. Montoya guessed.

After thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't expect anything to come up, Breck gave up and said to Montoya: "You did a good job. I know about it. Don't worry, with my uncle here, no one wants to get in, there will be a curfew in a while, you can go back quickly. ”

"Okay, goodbye, uncle. ”

On the way back to the castle, Montoya asked Leo, "Hey, do you know what your uncle was doing?"

"I ......," Leo smiled wryly, "I don't know. ”

"Why do you say 'really' don't know, it's so strange......"
