Chapter 112: Undercurrent
The next day, Jia Yi left very resolutely, although Kelvander expected Jia Yi to stay a little longer, and the old mage from the first line of customs also came, but Jia Yi did not mean to stay at all.
However, it is difficult to say that this old mage is here to keep Jiayi, and it is more important to ensure that Jiayi really leaves the first-line level. Since they can't recruit Jiayi, they can accept it by excluding this unexpected factor.
Jia Yi rode Xiaoqing - Xiaoqing has been idle for so many days and can already ride - some time ago he rode in a carriage every day, and his butt hurt a little. Only Xiaoqing's back is wide and steady, which is much more comfortable than the carriage.
Seeing Jia Yi go away, Kelvander and they turned around to leave, before leaving, Kelvander glanced at the old mage not far away, and the old mage also saw them, and the two sides did not speak, and left separately.
Kelvander returned to the hotel, and not long after, a fellow entered his room, raised his voice a little, and said: "Captain, now that martial law is everywhere in the gate, and it is not easy for our goods to get rid of our goods, do we have to wait a few more days to see? ”
Kelvander also said loudly: "Wait two more days, and we'll see in two days, if the first-line pass continues to be under martial law, then we will go to the middle, otherwise it will be too much of a loss to sell here." I thought that now that we are under martial law, we can sell it at a better price, but if we can't sell it, we will lose a lot of money. ”
The two exchanged the situation of the goods loudly, and the guy suddenly came over and whispered: "I have inquired, as you said the captain, many people have heard that there is a roar of demonic beasts in the mountains, and these newly transferred troops are all transferred after discovering the traces of demonic beasts, and the news I have inquired about is pointed to the demonic beasts in the mountains." ”
"Are you sure?"
"It's not entirely certain, but it's very probable. Originally, we didn't think of this, so the summarized news always felt that it was not quite right, and now that we turn these messages to large Warcraft, then it is completely correct. The mobilization of siege crossbows in the pass is very frequent, and in addition to attacking the city, this thing is also very powerful against demonic beasts. Moreover, the catapults and oil in the pass have not moved much, and if they are to target Sakhalin, even if the catapults are not easy to pass, the oil should always be prepared. ”
Saying this, the man lowered his voice, almost put his head to Kelvand's ear, and said, "In addition to this, the Tiger Guard seems to have escorted the only son of the Marshal of the Western Route Army. ”
"The only son of Marshal Auguste of the Western Road?" Kelvander asked, looking incredulous, "what is he doing here?
"I don't know, I can't confirm this, but someone has seen August's only son's personal attendant here, and with so many Tiger Guards, this news is very likely to be true. ”
Kelvander involuntarily knocked on his thigh, thinking about whether there was anything worth using this news, and after thinking about it, he still didn't act rashly, there is nothing to do with Sakhalin here and there, and on the other hand, there is nothing to do with Sakhalin from here.
He instructed: "You continue to watch, it is best to confirm whether Auguste's only son really came here secretly, if it is really for a magical beast, see if you can find out what kind of magical beast it is, it can actually attract the only son of the marshal of the Western Route Army, it doesn't look like an ordinary magical beast." ”
"Yes, it would be nice to provoke this monster to make a big fuss here at the first line. It's better to be able to destroy the first line. ”
The guy laughed to himself, and he knew that it was almost wishful thinking.
......
......
On the other side, the old mage watched Jia Yi walk away before returning to the gate.
The Guannei City Lord's Mansion is in the southeast direction, surrounded by guards, it seems that there are no dead corners at all, it is very tight, the old mage entered the City Lord's Mansion, and soon came to a young man.
The young man did not look very old, his face was white and delicate, and he seemed to be just an ordinary aristocratic son, but he was already in his 30s, and he knew from the calluses on his hands that he had also undergone hard exercise.
He was none other than Fred, the only son of Marshal August of the Western Route Army.
Seeing the old mage come in, Fred turned around and asked Wen Yan, "Mage, how is this time?"
The old mage was expressionless, and said, "Master Fred, the mage has already left, he may not want to make trouble, so he left in a hurry, but the caravan that came with him is still in the city." ”
Fred said, "It seems that they are just passing by, do you know the details of that mage?"
The old mage said: "The other party said that he was traveling outside after graduating from the academy, but he didn't say which academy, but his strength is very strong, although he has not tried, but he is better than me, it seems that he has not graduated for two years, I am afraid that he has not yet graduated and has become a white-robed mage." ”
He didn't shy away from Jia Yi's strength being higher than him, but he still couldn't help but feel a little envious in his words.
Fred was a little moved at this time: "Even the mage doesn't think it's comparable, then it's a good thing for him to leave, in the eyes of the other party, I'm afraid that it's not dead or alive The Earth Walking Dragon is the same for him." ”
It turned out that what they were going to deal with was an earth-walking dragon, and for a white-robed mage, a living earth-walking dragon could not be divided, and it was convenient to disassemble the materials when he died, otherwise it would be difficult to give the other party any reward.
After a pause, Fred said, "As long as we can catch this earth-walking dragon, we should be able to get a batch of mounts containing dragon veins in a few years, and then the Western Route Army will have another elite army." I'm afraid that there are some problems with the caravan that came with me, and if you have to find someone to keep an eye on them, there must be no mistakes at this time. ”
So saying, Fred called someone in and told him about it. For Jia alone, there is not much difference between a living and a dead Earth Walking Dragon, but for Fred, for an army, the difference between a living Earth Walking Dragon and a dead Dragon is very big.
"Determine the location of the dragon as soon as possible, and at the same time set up the trap, if it can't be successful this time, the other party will flee into the Hengduan Mountains, and it will be difficult to find the other party again. ”
If it weren't for the fact that they were capturing Dixinglong alive, they would not have made such a big battle and mobilized elite troops to come over. Even if it is impossible to breed bloodlines, an earth-walking dragon mount is impossible for a knight to refuse.
For a while, with the departure of Jia Yi, the atmosphere of the entire first-line pass became more depressing, and there was a feeling of undercurrent, Kelvander and Fred were on their own guard, and began to investigate each other.
Kelvand's identity is well hidden, and he can afford to investigate, Fred can't get any results for a while, except for Kelvand, there are other spies in the pass, Fred can't focus all his energy on the search for the spies, with the proximity of the Earth Dragon capture, he can only be more strict in the control of the pass, almost to the point of interrogation on the street.
And Kelvander and they also inquired about some news, and confirmed that Fred came to the first line, but they did not find the existence of the Earth Walking Dragon, if they found Fred and they were going to capture the Earth Walking Dragon, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns.
The whole line is like the calm before the storm, the more depressing the atmosphere, the calmer the surface.
......
......
Jia Yi didn't know anything about these and didn't care about it, he was riding Xiaoqing on the path between the mountains and wilderness, and leaving the first line of the pass made him feel good.
On the way, he continued to flip through the books of the Yaandli people found in the ruins, he has not relaxed the combing of the spiritual power of the evil eye, with the deepening of his analysis of the spiritual power of the evil eye, he is now more proficient in the Yaandli language, and the speed of flipping through the books is also faster.
Soon, he turned to a thin book, the handwriting of which looked a little sloppy, not as solemn as the rest of the books, as if it had been written casually.
"What's written on this... Sky... Question, what does that mean? Ask the sky?"
Before he opened it, Jiayi was confused by the inscription on the tree cover, is this a book title?
