Chapter 7: The Little Tiger Shines
Gongsun Murong, who had broken away from the team, brought the stars and moon chasing light to the end, and his figure flickered towards the direction of the town.
He was also very angry when he gave six hundred gold coins, but he was unwilling to reveal his strength, and he was not prepared to make a big deal out of it, so that more people would not spread the word about him.
Selling water in the desert is a beautiful story, and the killing of Harvey's three leaders and his men in front of many people is a piece of information that other powerful forces are willing to pay attention to.
Gongsun Murong always remembered the words of the intelligent housekeeper. 'The person who completely shows his strength to others will never be the victor after the most Lu, no one knows how much strength the Gongsun family and the Murong family of the Ludao family have hidden, just as you don't know how far the road to return home is. Therefore, there are two families in the Eight Great Families. Young master, but seek merit, not publicity!'
So Gongsun Murong endured it at that time, but the money couldn't be given in vain, and now he should get back what belongs to him, and fulfill Narasha's wish to get more extra income.
An hour later, in the quiet and peaceful town of Susa, the leaders of the three powerful forces, Tom Harvey, Anradin Hogan, and Jacob Jack, died within their respective powers.
The three men died in different places, Tom Harvey died at a feast with his leaders, all of whom were poisoned.
Ann Ladin Hogan died in her bed, her throat blocked by a sword in her sleep.
Jacob Jack died in the practice room, his eyes wide open and blank on his knife-cut head.
Half an hour later, the peace of the town was first shattered by Tom Harvey's death, and some of his men found the corpses in the banquet place, each pale and bleeding from the mouth and nose, but the eyes were red, as if the adventurers who had gone to the ruins had been poisoned by some kind of poison.
Then Alladin Hogan and Jacob Jack were also spotted by his men who had come to report the situation.
So the town was in chaos, the sleepers were woken up, and the adventurers in the tavern went to check it out.
As the captain of the town's guards, Sandy also took his men to the place where Tom Harvey held a banquet, and looked at the corpses all over the ground, and he ordered his men to start looking for clues.
When there was no one else around, he sighed and muttered in a voice he could hear: "If it weren't for the sackcloth I gavey, wouldn't the three of them have died?" ”
Sandy thought about what happened in Zhenkou before, and shook his head lightly: "I hurt Harvey and them? Who knows! Greedy enough to rob the children's money, maybe they will rob the little tiger without the cover of the sackcloth." With the god of war on top, could it be that the stable life has made Harvey and them lose the vigilance that adventurers should have?"
Speaking of vigilance, Sandy nervously surveyed his surroundings and was relieved to see that no one was paying attention to him, and he smiled as he looked at the body being carried in the distance.
He sneered: "Wearing a white and gorgeous dress without a trace of tear or dirt, Nalasha is as cute and happy as a little princess, I don't believe that it is the result of the constant attention of Lady Luck, and every adventurer who buys water has become kind......?"
"Chief Sandy Guard, Harvey is dead, his men and servants have died a total of forty-nine, do you think it will be revenge? For example, yesterday at the gate of the Mercenary Association, ...... "A member of the escort came to report the situation, guessing by the way.
"Sakhi, yesterday we were drinking in the tavern, it was Moses and they invited us, the kind and lovely Narasha lost six hundred gold coins, and we didn't dare to stand up at that time, so the frightened Narasha hired someone to protect her and left, and she has been gone for a long time, and Kelisel and twenty-nine other adventurers who are afraid of retribution are protecting her, aren't they?"
Sandy asked his subordinates with a serious expression.
"Yes, yes, that...... Then there should always be a reason, who is the murderer, and our responsibility ......."
"Our responsibility is to maintain the safety of the civilians of Suo Sao Town, it is they who pay us, not Harvey and them, I will not ask how much money you took from them privately, but I know that if you dwell on this matter again, maybe what happened to Harvey and them will fall on you, and I believe that smart people will no longer have anything to do with the dead people. ”
"No, no, no, don't shout so loudly, Captain of the Guard, I have nothing to do with anyone, no, I will dispose of the corpse, Chief Guard, please don't mention who took who's money again, I'll invite you to Old Moti's tavern for a drink. "Sachy was scared away.
Sandy snickered and shook his head: "Young man, you still have a lot to learn, how can the lovely Nalasha be suspicious? Although I have been able to determine that Harvey their death was ......"
A 'snap' sound sounded from Sandy's feet, and Sandy looked through the light of the fire and the hazy moonlight, his eyes suddenly rounded, and then he crouched down as fast as he could, picking up the thing.
It is a small cloth bag embroidered with a beautiful pattern, and when it is picked up, there is a slight sound of metal colliding.
Sandy covered it with his arm, looked into the bag, paddled the weight again, found a corner, and said softly: "Exactly fifty gold coins, I will never misestimate its weight, it is as accurate as my judgment that Harvey is the one who died four months ago who offended, they robbed that person's saloon, and killed that person in the wild, so that person's family came to take revenge, as for which person's family is? Please listen to the voice of the god of war." ”
After saying these words, Sandy listened carefully to the nearby movements, and saw that there was no danger, so he smiled again and stuffed the heavy cloth bag into his arms: "Lady Luck is standing by my side again, the lovely Nalasha will become more and more beautiful, and the handsome Young Master Murong." ”
It was Gongsun Murong who gave Shandi the money, and he came back to confirm it, wanting to know what the guards of Ludao Suosa Town thought of this incident.
He was entangled in his heart, wanting to kill Sandy, but he was afraid of leaving more clues, because yesterday he invited the hired guards and Sandy to drink, in case Sandy told his family about what happened when he entered the town yesterday, Sandy died, would his family reveal the news?
When he heard Shandy's words, he chose to close his mouth instead of extinguishing it, believing that the smart and kind Sandy would make the right choice.
After finishing the work, Gongsun Murong went to chase the team, and he got some things and uncounted gold, silver, and copper coins.
He only carried out a simple scrape, and did not ask the slain where to put more money, for fear of accidents, and no one had seen him when he did it.
What Gongsun Murong didn't expect was that when he caught up with the team, the team was not in a situation of continuing to march, but stopped there, and the sound of battle sounded.
Taking advantage of the confusion, he returned to Sha Luo, turned his head and asked with his eyes.
Nalasha knew that her brother Murong was back, and when Gongsun Murong was a few miles away, she knew about it.
"Brother Murong, you see, the team encountered a lot of bone-eating rats, bitten six Sha Luo, and some people were injured. "Nalasha seemed to be talking about someone else's business, and I didn't see her in a hurry.
"Oh. Gongsun Murong is not in a hurry.
"Brother Murong, how much money will you snatch back?" Nalasha was more concerned about the matter.
"No, I'll talk about it later. Gongsun Murong looked at the situation in the battle.
Ten sand locs gathered around the sand loat that Nalasha was riding, and there were no more bone eaters to bite them, and the seven Moses were next to Sand Lok, armed with weapons.
Thirty other adventurers scuffle with the Bone Eaters on the periphery.
Gongsun Murong had just passed through the ranks of the Bone Eater Rats, and now he looked closely and found that the Bone Eaters were not one by one, but one by one.
In the moonlight and firelight, bone-eaters emerged in the distance, throwing themselves into battle one after another.
Kelisel supported everywhere, he was very powerful, one knife and one Bone Eater Rat, or one knife and two, the second-order and second-order Bone Eater Rat was not a one-in-one enemy at all compared to his fifth-order and fifth-level strength.
It's just that it can't stand the large number of bone-eating rats, and it's still that kind of desperate energy.
Gongsun Murong frowned and went to see the little tiger in Nalasha's arms.
Narasha blinked and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take the sealing cloth off?"
Gongsun Murong did not reply immediately, but calculated that the thirty adventurers hired for the little tiger did not know what to do, and in order to prevent all the sand beasts from avoiding in advance and making the adventurers suspicious, Moses found a piece of cloth from the past trophies of Gongsun Murong and Nalasha, a magic pattern cloth that could hide the breath of the sand beasts.
The real use is that the small sandbeasts that have stolen good ones can be taken away smoothly and not found by adult sandbeasts.
Is it the hired people who are fighting, the little tiger scaring away the bone-eating rats to let the adventurer know, or watching the adventurer in a dangerous situation and not doing anything?
"Moses, kill the eight sand locks, you take Nalasha and Young Master Murong to run first, damn the bone-eaters, they must have gathered so much because they couldn't find food, Moses, run, I, Kelisel, swear in the name of the god of war, fight to the end of life to complete the sacred mercenary task, ah, brothers fight. ”
Kelly Serre's roar rang out, and the broadsword in his hand swung more intensively.
Moses paused, turned his head to look at the young master and young lady of his family.
"Brother Murong, Nalasha has already understood. Hearing Kelisel's cry, Nalasha made a choice, quickly took the artisan pattern, and said to the Scorching Golden Tiger, "Little Jin, roar." ”
'Whew~~~!' A long roar appeared under the light of the double moon, and the golden light on the scorching golden tiger shone brightly, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be shaken to a halt.
The adventurers in battle were stunned at the same time as the Bone Eaters, and then the Bone Eaters retreated like a tide, screaming in fear, the class suppression was too great for them to muster the courage to fight to the end.
Kelisel and the other adventurers looked at the glowing tiger in Nalasha's arms in amazement, and their expressions were complicated.
"That...... Actually......" Narasha looked embarrassed, sitting on the sand and snorting.
"Kelisel didn't swear by the god of war before. Gongsun Murong took the words, his gaze swept over the adventurers, and he did not shy away from looking at them.
"Yes, the young master is right, what is the value of a cub of the Scorching Golden Tiger, I believe everyone has understood it very well in the long years of adventure. To put it mildly, I, Moses, have always believed that the young master and the young lady are not qualified leaders, and their hearts are softer than the moonlight. ”
Moses spread his hands and said to the adventurers around him.
"Moses, you're right, I totally agree that the Golden Tiger can be sold for an unimaginably large price, especially Miss Nalasha to sell, who makes them all so cute. Guys, do you think that if Miss Nalasha shouts around the ruins, 'Sell the Scorching Wind Golden Tiger, let's take a look at the Scorching Wind Golden Tiger, do you have anything to buy?'
Kellysell shook the blood from the knife and said.
The laughter of the adventurers rang out all around, and they laughed easily, because they understood what their employer was doing, and it was already dangerous for the two children to take out the water and sell it, so what about the Golden Tiger?
If you have a little tiger, it doesn't seem to be easily exposed, and only when the difference in strength is not very big, will someone be willing to be reasonable.
After the battle, the adventurers only took a few sips of water, and the thought of not wanting to delay more nights led them to raise their torches and set out on their journey again.
The moonlight is as warm as water!
