Chapter Forty-Six: The Enemy of the Enemy

Simon was also a little depressed, "I ran so fast, I went out of the city overnight, so it's troublesome, now I can only catch up and see, but I don't know if I can catch up," he said and poked the roof with his staff.

Wednesday rolled his eyes and made a look of regret, "Then what should I do?" Or, hurry up and inform those people around Margaret, their strength is strong, and they will definitely be able to catch up." ”

Simon shook his head, "It's definitely not right now, if the city lord's people find out about the two of us, they will definitely be besieged and killed, you see that the soldiers around the house are actually masters, the most advanced are intermediate swordsmen, and there are more than ten high-level swordsmen," Speaking of this, Simon Zhengse said to Wednesday: "Mr. Bruce, I want to entrust you with something, can you?"

Wednesday was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "You said, as long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse." ”

"Okay," Simon clapped his palms and said, "I hope you can go out of the city to catch up with those people, keep an eye on their whereabouts, and then mark them on the road, so that I can lead people to catch up with them," and said this, and softly praised Wednesday twice, "I know that the Bruce brothers are fast, and the tracking technique also has unique skills, so ......"

"Ding: Trigger the new quest 'Simon's Mandate', do you accept it?"

Even without this task, Wednesday would not have been able to make Margaret disappear from his eyes again.

Simon's commission: Keep an eye on the traces of the group in the City Lord's Mansion, and mark them until the round with Simon, and they can't be detected, (Quest reward: +20 for good and evil, +20 for contribution, "Wave Wrap GongΓ—1"). Nice reward, Wednesday was secretly happy, although I don't know what kind of kung fu that "Lang Wrap Gong" is, but it's worth it. 20 points of contribution value, it can be completed in the middle of the night, and it is a surprise, Wednesday is very satisfying.

He waved his hand at the door, and then jumped off the roof with ease, grabbing a handful of his hands on the horizontal edge of the wall during the fall, and when he landed, there was almost no inertia, just a slight bend of the knee to dissolve.

The walls are not high, and the defenses are not very strong, this is not the front line, and three or two soldiers on duty at night are hiding in the sentry tower and sleeping. Wednesday easily climbed from the city wall to the outside of the city, and then pulled out Margaret's clothes again and let the little Dandan sniff it.

Little Dandan really didn't disappoint Wednesday, sniffed at the intersection, and then quickly found his way. On Wednesday, he swished forward as he lifted the "Lifting Technique", as if he had a spring under his feet.

"Lifting Longitudinal Technique" is actually to exercise the ability to run and jump, at this time, with the blessing of internal force, although Wednesday's speed may not be able to catch up with the galloping horses, but it is also quite amazing. However, Wednesday was still a little slower, and after more than two hours of chasing, they still did not catch up with those people, but the traces they left behind became more and more obvious, such as horseshoe prints.

These people are getting more and more remote, when it was originally a big road, I couldn't see anything on Wednesday, but when I walked to the middle of nowhere, I almost knew the horseshoe prints left by those people. Wednesday secretly counted about ten horses, about the same number as when they left.

After another half an hour of pursuit, they were already deep into the belly of a mountain, and the road was almost only allowed for two people to pass. When he was hesitant to hide his body on Wednesday, he noticed a light in front of him, climbed a tree on the side of the road and looked around, and saw a mountain villa over there. It is said to be a mountain village, but it is actually more like a fortress, and the walls made of large stones make the whole fortress look almost impassable.

On the walls of the fortress, there are also lookout holes and shooting holes, and it is almost impossible to sneak in. However, it is possible to observe the situation in the fortress from a high position, because the fortress is in the middle of the mountain col, and although there are cliffs on both sides, it is not too difficult for Wednesday, and his mission has been completed, and now he just wants to see the situation inside.

Thinking of this, Wednesday crept slowly closer to the fort from the side of the mountain forest. The mountains and forests here are much steeper, and there is no road to walk at all, that is, Wednesday is agile and strong enough to run and jump, if you change someone, you really can't pass through here quietly.

Wednesday's agility is not what it seems, and combined with the running and jumping ability brought by "Lifting Longitudinal Technique", it is no different from an ape, almost without touching the ground, jumping from tree to tree, and in a short time jumping halfway up the mountain.

Looking down from the mountainside, the castle in its entirety was all in view of Wednesday. The castle covers a much larger area than Wednesday thought, with a towering and sturdy gate tower in front and a large courtyard like a courtyard behind the gate tower. From the outside, it looks like a typical Western castle-style building, but when you enter the door, it suddenly transforms into an ancient Chinese garden landscape.

However, it is obvious that these Chinese-style buildings are just learned, and they can be regarded as having mountains, rivers, pavilions and corridors, but from a high altitude, the arrangement and layout are very chaotic, not to mention the feng shui layout.

But even so, the visual impact on a person is still very large, and Wednesday was startled, secretly wondering who the owner of the manor is? But no matter who it is, it can't be separated from the Lord of Hill City.

Looking at the yard again, there were indeed some horses on a leash, and I don't know which ones had just come in, and I don't know where Margaret was being held. The markers and stuff have been done, and now it's almost dawn, and it's a bit uneconomical to go back, and it's not a problem to stay where you are, Wednesday thought about it and moved on.

I wanted to get closer, see more clearly, and if possible, see if it was possible to get Margaret out. After all, after dawn, Simon should bring people to find here, and there will definitely be a big battle at that time, and it is not impossible to fish in troubled waters.

When it was dawn, Wednesday suddenly heard a commotion, and quickly stood up and looked at the road, and the little Dandan also jumped on Wednesday's head to make a distant look.

The distance was a little farther, and it was clear who was coming on Wednesday, but it was clear that the two sides had been killed together. Looking at the courtyard again, a lot of people ran out of the room, each with a weapon and rushing to the door.

Wednesday is secretly proud, you guys fight, it's best to lose both. While thinking about it like this, Wednesday quietly approached the manor, and it was not difficult to enter the manor from the side, although there were walls on all sides, but they were all built on the mountain, and it was an insurmountable wall for others, but for Wednesday, who had already touched the mountainside, it was not too difficult, as long as it was not discovered, Wednesday had the confidence to quietly take Margaret away.

But the problem was that now he didn't know if there were anyone else in the courtyard, especially if there was anyone guarding Margaret's side. There was also the problem that Wednesday didn't know where Margaret was, and if he looked for it from room to room, he might not know when he would find it.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a figure hurriedly walking out of a house in the middle, looking around for a while, and then running directly to the backyard, and then moved a ladder to set up on the wall of the backyard, and ran over the courtyard wall to the mountain.

Looking at the familiar back, Wednesday frowned and thought about it, and suddenly remembered, wasn't that the old man who was following the young city lord? Why did he seem to be running for his life? Is there anything hidden that can't be done?

Looking at the old man, he didn't look like a lethal person, because he fell outside the wall when he climbed over the wall, and he fell quite awkwardly. Thinking of this, Wednesday hurriedly set off to chase after the old man.

Wednesday's position at this time was on the east side of the manor, and the direction of the old man's escape was due north, and Wednesday had to make a big detour to catch him. But the old man ran quite hard, and could almost be said to be struggling, and from time to time he had to fall on his heels. Look like that, that is, no one notices him now, otherwise an ordinary person can catch him.

But when Wednesday was about to catch up to the north, suddenly a man also ran out of the house and shouted twice, "Old ghost, where are you dead?" After turning around, he found the ladder on the courtyard wall and immediately chased him out. He was much faster than the old man, and he was about to catch up with him.

Wednesday saw that it was not good, and hurriedly accelerated forward. Although I don't know what the identity of the old man is, but in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the old man cannot be arrested. Wednesday was still trying to learn more from the old man's mouth.

It's just that Wednesday's speed is so fast, and the biggest reliance is only the D-level basic light skill "Lifting Longitudinal Technique", and by the time Wednesday chased after him, the guard-like person had already carried the old man back.

Seeing this, Wednesday rushed over and intercepted him outside the courtyard wall, and then, without saying a word, raised his sword and slashed at the guard.

"Who are you?" the guard wanted to ask about Wednesday's identity, but saw that Wednesday's knife was sharp, and hurriedly dodged.

Wednesday naturally won't answer, and he doesn't talk so much nonsense, and the knife is tighter than the other. This place is too cramped for the long stick to be wielded, but it is not as flexible as the sword, although his knife skills are terrible.

And the guard has been empty-handed, probably carelessly did not bring weapons out, empty but can only dodge, and also take care of the old man behind him, so he was quickly slashed several times on his body by Wednesday, although he has armor on his body, but still began to bleed. Seeing that the situation was unclear, the armored guard shouted, "Come on, come on, there is a killer." ”

Seeing this, Wednesday was in a hurry, and the knife became a little heavier, slashing at the opponent's body with a clanging clang, and quickly chopping his armor to pieces.

The guard was also in a hurry, ignoring the sharpness of Wednesday's blade, he suddenly grabbed Wednesday's blade, and then pounced on Wednesday with all his might, trying to wrap Wednesday to death. The idea of the armored guard can't be said to be bad, if you can hold back Wednesday, even if you can't defeat Wednesday, you can wait until your accomplices arrive.
