291 Waiting for an opportunity
When Allegri and Illo left the Herseus Valley, it was still the middle of winter, thousands of miles of ice, the cold was deep, and the places they passed along were all areas that had just experienced war, depressed and lonely.
By the time they returned to the territory of the Anlan Principality, it was already early spring in February, and everything had sprouted, and the open fields on both sides of the Green River were full of life.
This is time, they are always unhurried, seemingly unchanged, but after a short trance, you are stunned to find that everything in front of you is completely different.
"It's just a back and forth, but winter has gone to spring," Allegri lifted the curtain and looked out the window, sighing casually, "Now in the valley, Dios and they must be very anxious." ”
"Well, as the head of the mercenary group, you actually snuck out of your duties," Illo turned and sneezed, "They must be scolding us behind our backs again." ”
"If you want to scold, you will be scolded," Allegri shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Generally speaking, I was fooled by you in this situation, and the most they said was that I didn't distinguish between right and wrong. ”
"Forget it," Illo said in an accentuated tone, "this time, you're the mastermind. ”
"But they don't know what to say," said Allegri, smiling, "and when the time comes, I will deny it, do you think they believe you, or mine?"
"Rub," Illo rolled his eyes helplessly, and snorted angrily, "You guy looks sanctimonious, but you're actually a hooligan at heart......"
On the other side of the carriage, Dargnan was sitting quietly, looking down at the white paper in his hand. The soft black handwriting was densely packed, and it was part of the meditation mantra Allegri had transcribed for him. Over the course of a few days, Allegri would take time to instruct him on that new method of meditation. And the speed he mastered also amazed Allegri.
During this journey, Dargnan relied on his superb acting skills and still did not show any horses. Allegri and Illo also seemed to have completely dispelled their suspicions about him, and they did not shy away from him when they usually talked and laughed. So. Through their conversation, Dargnan learns more about Allegri and the "Sad Mercenaries". And some of the information occasionally revealed in it made him even more vigilant.
Like, now.
Although he looked like he was studying quietly, Dargnan's ears had quietly pricked up, listening carefully to the conversation between the two. The deeper you know about the goal, the more initiative you can take in future actions. This truth, as a top killer, the "Ice Blue Blade" is naturally not unfamiliar.
To his surprise, the relationship between Allegri and Illo seemed very strange. Allegri was the head of the regiment and a powerful magician, but he didn't put on any show. And according to his observations in the past few days, Illo's attitude towards him is also very casual, between the two. laughing, scolding, and ridiculing each other are naturally to the extreme. Meanwhile. The half-elf ranger was very obedient to Allegri's words, and once Allegri agreed with him, he immediately treated Dalgnan as his own, without the slightest hesitation.
And based on the conversation between the two, it seems that their relationship with the rest of the Sad Mercenary Group is the same, at least that Dios. Among the information gathered in advance. Dios, the "Infernal Fortress", was also a very important figure in the Herseus Valley. He is in charge of all the military power under Allegri, and he is also the most powerful warrior in the valley, and he has already reached the state of superiority. In his original plan, this Dios was a very vigilant object, if there were guards by his side. It can be tricky to get close or escape on your own. However, people are not as good as heaven, and who would have thought that they would meet Allegri on the way and manage to get so close to each other?
But...... Dargnan's heart itched again, the distance was so close, but he couldn't make a move right away, it was really a bit of a violent thing. However, the meditation method that Allegri taught him was immediate, and his reserve mana, which had been stagnant for a long time, actually showed signs of loosening, so he was absolutely reluctant to kill him until he had obtained this meditation method in its entirety.
Thinking of this, Dalgnan restrained some of his mood and continued to study the mantra in his hand. At this time, he heard the bored Illo stir up another topic,
"By the way, Allegri, what would be the reaction of Dios if he saw the gift we brought him back?" As he spoke, the half-elf pointed to the back of the carriage, where the dishevelled clothes and flannel concealed a mess of what he didn't know what it was.
"Well," Allegri shook his head with a deep groan, "maybe when you saw his old face and had such violent mood swings?"
"I really haven't seen it," Illo thought for a while, and finally admitted, "Now that I think about it, this guy Dios is still a facial paralysis." ”
"What do you know," Allegri glanced at the half-elf with disdain, "Dios used to be a big man, and he couldn't be angry, how can you understand a babbling little minion." ”
"I'm ......," Illo exclaimed angrily, "you call me a high-ranking ranger a dispensable little minion?"
"Look, you're babbling again......"
The laughter and scolding of the two continued, but Dargnan didn't care, he took a soft breath, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
What did that Illo say just now? He's actually a high-ranking ranger? But in the latest information he has gathered, it is clearly recorded that the half-elf ranger is only a high-level.
This time, he couldn't calm down anymore. The difference between a high-level professional and a high-level professional can be described as a world of mud, which is another sublimation of the combat profession in the realm. If it was only a high-level, he could easily solve a dozen by himself, then a high-level ranger could even pose a huge threat to him.
It seems that it is necessary for me to evaluate the strength of the other two again, and then decide the next action strategy.
After thinking to himself for a while, making sure that he would not arouse the suspicion of the other party, Dargnon raised his head in surprise and said in amazement, "Master, Mr. Illo, is he actually a powerful high-ranking ranger?" (to be continued......)
