Volume 3 The Dragon and the Song of the Wind Chapter 84 The Stalker (2)
Baron Vidor hadn't caught his breath yet. Not long ago, he had to jump around in the thorny rotting vines because he had been attacked by pods.
However, the wind in the Mochizuki Plains was still refreshing and mild, and the wind blew Victor and made him feel much better. It took a long time for Glori to calm down, and they were in a stalemate until now, waiting for each other to speak.
"This guy is still alive?"
Dylan angrily drew his sword, went up and kicked it, and swung it. Victor was bound by magically woven vines, which had taken root in the ground, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to.
"Stop, Dylan, listen to him, it's never too late to do it. There should be some reason why he's here. Glori quickly stopped Dylan with his sword. His sword was so fast that Dylan didn't slow down for a while.
Christopher, who was on the side, smiled slightly, stepped forward and pointed his sword at Victor's neck. "Glori, Victor has to be handed over to us, because he is a traitor to our gods. He said.
"I'm not here for you, I'm here for Glory Carlos. Victor laughed. He tried to stand up, but was held down by Dylan.
"Glori, we still have to do what Christopher says, and they should take care of it. Dylan looked at the skeleton on the shelf, and he didn't look like he had eaten it.
"Why are you following us?" Christopher asked. Judy gestures with a dagger in front of Victor's eyes.
Will looked at Christopher, then at Joy. "To our human friends, make way of the place. Victor seemed to want to explain something. He sat next to Dylan, then looked at Glory again. "Glori, you can ask what you want to know before we dispose of him. He said.
"Baron Victor, we meet again. You should say something, right?" Glori put his sword away. He kept his mood under control very well.
Zoe grabbed the flame in her hand and tried to step forward, but was stopped by Irris. Glori glanced at Dylan, then at Zoe. Dylan understood what he meant, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Zoe can't hurt this damn guy." ”
"I'm not going to ask you to let me go, but you do have to listen to what I'm going to say. The Church of the Veil has a message to you that they need your help, and that's what the Revival Legion has agreed to. ”
Baron Victor said pertinently. He was embarrassed, he didn't have the aristocratic momentum of the past, and it seemed that he had experienced something very bad in the past few days.
"You've got to get to the point, and I'll listen carefully. No one here is hurting you, at least for now. Glori told Victor to say something.
"I don't believe he can say anything good. Dylan spat out the bones. And Aina put another piece of meat on the branch.
"But I believe he deserves this opportunity. Glori said.
"Oh, you're really a kind young man, maybe that's your strength, but it's also your weakness. Well, what I'm going to say next, please listen up. Baron Victor got up, and the vine disappeared deep into the ground.
"If you're not honest, my vine will take your breath away, and I think you know how powerful it is. They show up at any time, make you lie on the ground, and then make you eat dirt. ”
As he spoke, Pod demonstrated it to Victor. She gently touched the barbecuing dead branches, which began to sprout and then covered with thorns.
"Hey, my barbecue, you can't do that. ”
Dylan exclaimed, looking at Pod in a serious manner. Pod smiled and saw Victor blink before he removed his finger and let the thorns disappear.
Victor sat down leaning against the stone wall. "I know how strong you are, just like just now, you caught me easily. I wouldn't be that stupid," he said, "you have to know that the Church of the Dark Veil can't save Miss Eileen. She's now locked up in the Hunter family's secret stronghold, and I'm sure you know which Hunter I'm talking about, because there's only one Hunter family in the whole of Mochizuki City. And this base is at the White Eagle Distillery on the eastern outskirts of Mochizuki Castle, not far from the Coral Harbor Underground Tunnel. He kept looking into Glori's eyes and talking, never taking his eyes off.
Then, Victor's words were interrupted by Glori.
"Is this news reliable?"
Glori asked. He stared at Victor. He knew it was hard to see through a Shennuo's intentions, and he didn't know him, only that he was a sinister fellow, and that it would take enough time for a Shennuo to become sophisticated because they had a long life.
"Of course it's reliable, I'm a messenger, entrusted by Leo, but you may not know him! If I lie, you won't let me go, how can I joke with my head? You have to believe me, I'm a member of the Church of the Dark Scenes. We have limited manpower, and they're still hiding because of the attack on the Moonshine stronghold. ”
"A member of the Church of the Dark, you're a traitor to the kingdom of Gudian!" said Jooy, throwing his sword. Her dagger slashed Victor's face, stuck in the rock wall.
"This young lady is doing too much, you have to watch her. Victor wiped the blood from his face and even smiled. Christopher drew his sword from the rock and handed it to Joy. "You have to take it easy, don't pierce him in the throat. He said.
"I know Leo, he's Xavier's apprentice. Glori said calmly. He couldn't see Victor's glimmering gaze, so he hesitated.
"Yes, you're right. ”
Victor said. He found that the pod in front of him was more powerful than he had imagined. The pod's eyes seemed to be able to see through him. He didn't know where Pod came from, but he could be sure she was dangerous.
It was at this moment that Pod noticed Glori's twinkling eyes. "This god is not lying, he is telling the truth. She reminded.
"How do you know he's not lying, pod? He's a god, and he's a sinister guy. And it looks like you're about my age, but your eyes are as innocent as Elris's. How can you possibly see through him?" Zoe asked.
"Zoe, Pod is our friend. "Glori's color.
"You have to trust me, just as Glori believes in me. Pod tilted his head. The smile on her face was so pure, and her blue eyes were as clean as a lake.
"I'm sorry. Zoe avoided the pod's gaze, ashamed of what had just happened. How could a girl like her have bad intentions?
"Victor, we're surprised to see you here. I don't know how you became a member of the Church of the Dark Veil, but I believe what you say. ”
Glori said. He didn't want to give up any clues about Miss Eileen. He knew that she had to be rescued, because even the church merger should be done by Miss Eileen, she wouldn't be as cruel as Corryse, she was a good woman. This is a good thing to do against the Demon Dragon Empire. Of course, this is also one of the tasks given to Glori by the Revival Legion.
"Look, I did scare you. Moreover, the young lady's dagger kept drawing before my eyes. Victor puffed up his chest and said.
"Glori, you should think about it seriously, we can't go there so easily. It's too risky. Zoe reminded.
"My friend Glori will not pass up this opportunity, though I don't know who you call Miss Eileen. Wei said. Both Juy and Christopher nodded in agreement.
"My word has been delivered, believe it or not. Or, you just cut off my head and get rid of it. Victor said disdainfully.
"I'll go, you can give your host an answer. ”
Glori thought cautiously, then said. He knew it might be a trap, and it was better than doing nothing. Perhaps, following these things will reveal the real clues.
"He can go, do as our human friends say, and let Victor Thomas go. Wei said. Judy stepped away from the blocked doorway and tucked his sword back into his waist.
"That's it? It's a shame we let him go. His Majesty was so crazy that he agreed to let him go. Judy said. She watched Baron Victor hurry away.
"So, when are we leaving?" said Wei excitedly, "my first journey out of the Kingdom of Gudian is about to begin, and hopefully it will be a good start." ”
"Your Majesty, we have made an appointment and will not leave an inch. Glori said with a smile. He couldn't say that King Kinesino didn't participate in this adventure, he knew it very well. He checked the tether of the scabbard at his waist, then jumped and mounted his horse, "What are you waiting for? We're leaving! ”
"It's good that Your Majesty has a few more friends. I think Brad Furzes' job as a guard is going to be lost. ”
Christopher amused the crowd. He was now the head of the Knight of Shennuo and the advisor to King Shennuo, and he agreed with Glori's direct approach.
Coral Harbor on the eastern outskirts of Mochizuki City, although the Moon Riders also pass through here, they don't have any rights, and everything in the harbor is only Thorne's decision. That's where the whole Mochizuki Plains are really dangerous.
The heads of the Terrans and the Kaino were hung on the high poles around the harbor, one every ten meters, and a kind of charm was attached to the poles. Some say these charms are intimidating, others say they are meant to test faith.
To enter the harbor, one must recite these charms before being allowed to enter. If you break in, you will be burned to ashes. What's even more terrifying is that the place where the high pole is located is guarded by the royal swordsmen of the Demon Dragon Empire, and Glori has learned their swordsmanship and magic, and he knows how strong they are.
So Glori couldn't imagine how the Hunter family could have produced and transported wine in the underground strongholds of the port, and his mind fluttered up and down like a bumpy horse, despite his determination. He was worried that the adventure would be safe for everyone.
At this moment, an apologetic Glori silently thought, "I hope Andrew lasts a little longer." Although he knew that Andrew was traveling to the church at night, he had not yet obtained the exact location. At this point, he must first deal with the sudden matter in front of him - Miss Erin is very important to the change in the situation in the entire Mochizuki Plains.
When night came, the sound of horses' hooves did not stop. Glori's cloak fluttered, and his companions followed. They kept galloping in a northeasterly direction.
