244 Fishing in troubled waters
"Let's go—"
The loud boss of the car flicked his whip, and the motorvoy marked with the golden flywheel emblem slowly moved off.
It was a transport route that originated in the Herseus Valley and extended southeast through the Green Valley. Due to the impact of the war and other reasons, many of the spare carriages were not full of people, and Illo was able to stretch his legs comfortably, his head in the window and watch the familiar river valley slowly retreat.
"Hey, Illo," Dios led a group of mercenaries passing by, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but smile, "There's a new mission?"
"yes, a solo bounty mission," Illo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "It's still far away, I'll take a ride over, what are you doing?"
"I'll send them to another line on escort duty," Dios explained, gesturing to the mercenary behind him, waving goodbye to him, "and a nice ride." ”
Seeing Dios beat his horse and leave, Illo breathed a sigh of relief and pulled down the curtain.
"Dios gone?" asked Allegri, dressed in a long robe, in the corner of the carriage, with his hood off and his face revealed.
"Let's go," Illo snorted, leaning back on the cushion, "what are you doing so sneakily as a head of the regiment?"
"It's a surprise," Allegri explained with a smile, "and everyone knows about it, except Dios." ”
As he spoke, the carriage had slowly left the valley, passed through the bustling town, and headed south along the post road. The sound of the wheels rolling faintly came, but under the effect of the magic array attached to the bottom, the carriage did not seem bumpy at all.
"I'm afraid, it's not a surprise, it's a horror," Illo said casually, playing with the arrow in his hand. "And I don't think it's very likely that we'll succeed. ”
"As long as the information you bring back is correct, we have a good chance of succeeding," Allegri said with a smile as he straightened his hair a little disheveled, "and this kind of opportunity is hard to come by." Once you miss it, the next time you won't be able to see what the Year of the Monkey will be. ”
"The information is absolutely correct, I have checked it in many ways," Illo nodded in confirmation, "The Silves coalition will launch a general offensive in the near future, with the aim of capturing Rankine City before it rejuvenates. ”
"This is also in line with our predictions, if we can't capture Rankine quickly, the entire Holy Alliance's army will surround us, and Silves will be in trouble...... I really didn't expect it. That handsome little hunter has now become like this," Allegriello sighed, "but because of this chaotic situation, if we are vigilant, there will be no danger." ”
"Little Hunter?" Illo squinted at him, "How do I remember some people being chased around by Little Hunters?"
"Die!" Allegri snorted, "and the situation at that time can only be considered a good one. I had a back and forth with him. ”
"Yes, yes. Illo smiled evilly and nodded, "He alone and dozens of us can really be regarded as coming and going, not only coming and going, but also coming and going whenever he wants." ”
Allegri has always despised this kind of guy who is so ambitious that he will destroy his prestige. But when the other party said it, he couldn't refute it. He could only look at the depressed town outside the window, shaking his head and changing the topic, "The situation in the Anlan Principality is not good, this town has fallen to this point." ”
"Don't cry and fake mercy, it's not your fault. Illo snorted, "The situation in Anlan is turbulent, the garrison here has just been removed, and a large number of inns, taverns and warehouses have been opened in our small town, and now the caravans that have passed through the 'Path of the Light' have changed their transit places there, and this town is of course deserted." ”
Allegri smiled, of course he knew this, but it was impossible to admit it, "Then you can blame Andrey, it's all his idea." ”
"By the way, you don't have to worry at all if you leave all the affairs to him before you leave?" Illo asked suddenly, and Allegri dared to let André rule, almost to everyone's surprise. After all, a few months ago, André hated Allegri and them to the core, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not have any dissenting intentions.
"Dios glared at him, he could pee out of his mind," Allegri shook his head and laughed, "and besides, he can't go back to his home now, so he can only stay in our valley." ”
"What, what's going on?" Illo couldn't help but be stunned.
"It is rumored in the Green River Valley that Andrei is dead, and besides, he has been missing for so long, and the family has re-elected a new head of the family," Allegri explained in a low voice, "How attractive do you think it will be to the rich family wealth accumulated by one of the three marquis families of Anlan?
"Tsk, there must be another human tragedy of cannibalism," Illo sighed, suddenly glancing at Allegri with a suspicious gaze, "Hey, that news can't be spread by you, right?"
"It's really not me this time," Allegri shook his head repeatedly, "this kind of big aristocratic family has a big business, where is it not the same deceit, maybe it is a trick made by the new family owner, so Andrei can only stay in the river valley for the time being and think of a way." ”
"But I didn't hear any complaints from him, but I enjoyed it. "In the entire mercenary group, Illo and André are the closest, and they have a very good relationship, and they have the most common language between them.
After all, they're all men with silver dragon pollen.
After a whole day had passed, the people in the valley slowly discovered that their regimental commander and deputy regimental commander had eloped to no apparent location.
However, in the Herseus Valley, everything was in order, André was in charge of the day-to-day administration, the army was in charge of training and dispatching, Brooke was stationed in the central town, and the caravan led by Mendel began to prepare for the first long-distance trade...... Therefore, it seems that there is no need for this head coach for the time being.
Meanwhile, Allegri and Illo had appeared hundreds of miles away. The carriage of the "Flywheel" merchant group traveled extremely fast and soon reached the destination of the route. The two of them need to change routes and sneak into the war-torn area on foot to get closer to their destination, the holy city of Ranken.
It was about to be the coldest time of the year, and the air on a sunny day was surprisingly clear, but the cold air was like a snake squeezing into the bones, as if there were countless formless and insubstantial frost spirits hovering around them.
"It's so cold," the half-elf said as he retracted from the window, his voice trembling, "and it slashes in the face like a knife." ”
"Really?" Allegri wondered, "how can I not feel it as exaggerated as you say?"
"Nonsense, you have an extra layer of skin on your face, of course you can't feel it. Illo snorted.
Allegri had already put on the "trick mask", his half-length hair was tightly tied behind his head, his arrow sleeves were short, and his equipment was shiny, and the majestic majesty of a high-ranking warrior was naturally revealed, and he couldn't suppress it.
Patting the delicate long sword lying horizontally beside him, Allegri posed and said proudly, "How is it, handsome or not?"
"Alright, handsome Mr. Warrior," Illo nodded helplessly, hunching his shoulders, "Can you warm up with a little flame?"
Allegri snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame popped in, floating in the carriage and burning silently, the heat constantly emitting heat.
"That's good," Illo said with his hands stretched out, roasting by the flames, and grinning, "It's good to have a great magician with you, I used to go on missions alone, and I had to endure the wind, snow, and cold." ”
"What a great magician," Allegri also laughed, "but don't slip out, please call me Mr. Ali Baba, a high-ranking warrior." ”
"You still look like a high-ranking warrior all over your body, just this face," Illo said disdainfully, "Look at your sword, the scabbard is brand new and shiny, I'm afraid I just bought it not long ago, right?"
"I used to have a good sword, and I found the dwarves to make it in Kutu City," Allegri picked up the sword and smiled mysteriously, "but don't underestimate it, it's a good design for me, and it's infinitely useful." ”
"Oh?" Illo curiously took it over and gently pulled out a section, unlike the scabbard that was high-grade at first glance, the green steel blade looked ordinary, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What is the mystery?"
"Look at me. Allegri held the hilt of his sword, raised his long sword flat, took a deep breath, and recited a few words in a low voice, and the crimson flame energy suddenly gushed out, rolling endlessly on the blade, looking majestic.
"Oh, you engraved an enchantment array on the blade?" Illo couldn't help but be stunned, so at first glance, it really looked like the strength of a high-level warrior, "However, it doesn't look like an enchantment." ”
Indeed, the enchanted weapons all have obvious magic patterns on them, which are clearly distinguishable when they are stimulated, which is very different from the strength of high-level warriors.
"It's only half an enchanted weapon," Allegri said with a smile, "When it was first cast, there was a part of the enchanted array inside the blade, and it wasn't infused with any magic power, so it wasn't an enchanted weapon." But when I infuse the magic into it and manipulate the magic power to construct the remaining circuits, I will be able to form a complete enchantment array, which will stimulate these fake and shoddy energy...... But from the outside, it still looks like a must-have, and it's a must-have for home travel......"
"Sounds pretty good," Illo said, scratching his head, a little puzzled, "but what do you think a great magician is bragging about claiming to be a high-ranking warrior?" (to be continued......)
