Chapter 121: Encounters
Two hours ago.
Karando, a remote harbor.
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up!
A man dressed as the leader of the Dragonhunters stood under a brig and watched as dozens of Dragonhunter thugs were busy carrying half-man-high wooden boxes into a wagon not far away.
When the loaded wagons are ready, they will drive into the Black Street and unload their goods at the warehouse belonging to the Dragon Hunters.
However, the leader was very dissatisfied with the speed of the group of thugs, and his expression was a little impatient.
Urging from time to time.
After all, the time is relatively tight, and he can rest assured that he will arrive early.
But I don't know if the contents of the wooden box are too heavy, or if there is a thug who is physically exhausted.
All of a sudden, his center of gravity was unstable, he fell to the ground, and the wooden box on his shoulder also rolled off.
No matter how hard the wooden box is, it can't withstand this kind of fall.
It cracked, a dagger-wide slit open.
Frightened, the man hurriedly went up and scolded the fallen dragon hunter gangster.
"Waste! I can't even do this little work!"
The leader scolded angrily, but he suddenly found that the fallen Dragon Hunter Gang's thug in front of him, that is, the boy, was a little embarrassed.
"Who are you?" the leader asked.
The young man who stood up, with a delicate face and a thin body, first patted the dust on his body, and then looked at the silhouette of the figure in the crack in the wooden box, revealing a satisfied expression, and said indifferently.
"I'm working under Wardgill!"
"Oh!
The leader nodded, and just wanted to nod, but then he reacted again, the Dragon Hunter Gang didn't have such a person as Wardgill!
"Good boy, how dare you fool me! Wardgill doesn't have any, who the hell are you?"
His expression changed instantly, and he was about to ask the young man in front of him how he had blended into their crowd.
However, before he could say the words, he met the young man's eyes, which suddenly turned from light chestnut to sea blue vertical pupils, and he was immediately stunned.
Sluggish presence.
Then, as the boy uttered the words of inducement, even though the voice was as thin as a mosquito's groan, even the delivery gangs passing by him could not hear it, and they only thought that the leader was criticizing the young man in front of him.
But the leader could still hear clearly, and his consciousness changed in the boy's words.
If there is a scholar who is proficient in magic, he can see at a glance that he is the [Human Enchanting Technique] that can manipulate people's minds.
And this also made him enter the sage mode in an instant, no longer urging others, and forgetting the questioning just now.
He just nodded at the boy.
"Be careful next time, or you won't have any rum to drink when you go back!"
The leader's voice is dull and lacks spirituality.
But he's only an overseer, it's not a big problem, and the movement here doesn't attract much attention, most of them are trying to carry heavy wooden boxes and carry heavy loads.
"Got it!"
The boy easily picked up the box on the ground, lifted it slightly, held the wooden box on his shoulder, and waved his hand at the leader controlled by his spell.
The boy walked slowly, not at all as before, and he walked near the carriage.
He put the box on the wagon, and then sat down behind the carriage and prepared to hitchhike into the city.
At this time, the young man's sapphire vertical pupils had converged back to their original light chestnut color, just like an ordinary poor young man in Karando, with hope and longing in his eyes.
He is the one who uses Transfiguration to disguise himself as a human boy, and is a bronze dragon who loves justice from heaven.
Now, what he intends is to get rid of the aftermath forever, and he is not in a hurry.
Although it takes a lot of time and energy to completely destroy the slave den, it just so happens that he has the time.
Although it was not the first time he had carried out justice, the feeling of pretending to be a human and then lurking in to prepare for justice made him really unable to breathe.
However, his appearance remained unchanged.
Silently stood up and stood near the carriage with another dragon hunter thug, watching around vigilantly.
This means that he has entered the groove, a temporary Dragon Hunter Gang.
Soon, the port's horse-drawn carriages were activated.
Gelin followed the carriage all the way from the remote port to the scattered low buildings, and not long before he came to a nondescript warehouse in the Black Street.
There were also members of the Dragon Hunters guarding it, and among them, a man with a scar who looked like a small leader saw the two escorting the carriage back.
didn't ask too much, just waved his hand and asked people to start unloading.
Gerin joined the pack, continued loading and unloading, and was able to enter the warehouse, where it wanted to know how many of these slaves were hidden.
However, when he entered, he was shocked to find that in addition to the wooden crates containing sleeping slaves, there were many other things inside.
This is...... A ritual material?
Geyin looked at the beautifully carved stone snake statue and was amazed, this pattern he still recognized.
Sacrificial runes can make rituals more spiritual.
Gelin had a vague feeling as if he had caught a big fish, but he was in no hurry to tell anyone.
The bronze dragon believes in justice, and although it will fight in a righteous group, it is also in an invincible situation.
In most cases, a dragon goes to destroy the den and judge the sin, of course, it may also be because of the arrogance of being a real dragon.
And the bronze dragon is not allowed to make a fuss about this matter before the matter is concluded.
He would not let this righteous judgment slip out of his hands and give it to others within his power.
Soon, after several loads of goods, Gelin was convinced that the large stone sculptures placed were the material used in some kind of cult ritual.
Then he began to put more energy into these small and big leaders of the Dragon Hunting Gang.
Because he needed to dig into the source, he wanted to know who was presiding over the ceremony.
The Dragonhunter's Finch was not like that, he had already learned from listening to the conversations of others.
The Finch Boss is a warrior, which means that there is definitely someone else behind it.
However, after several hours, Gelin still failed to find any trace of the Dragon Hunters' Gang casting spellcasters of the same status other than Finch, nor did he see anyone else who had anything to do with it.
Just as he was about to continue lurking, he suddenly found that Finch, who had not been gone long ago, came in with a man in a black robe.
He quickly pretended to be serious, disguised as an ordinary Dragon Hunter Gang, and then began to listen.
This person, there is definitely a problem!
Gerin's light chestnut eyes looked at the rickety, short man named Foreman, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a thin and invisible arc.
Things have finally changed.
It didn't take long for Foreman to leave the warehouse, and he hurried away, as if he wanted to see someone.
Gelin also quickly turned into a blue cat to follow, but on the way to follow, he also had a general understanding of which gang the sheltered and impermeable wanderer in front of him belonged to.
Ouroboros! The leader of the gang is a beautiful woman!
But judging from this behind-the-scenes, the relationship between the two is certainly not as-for-tat as it appears on the surface, and maybe they have secretly formed an alliance.
And the Ouroboros also corresponds to the black snake statue in the previous warehouse!
Gelin felt that the answer to the mystery was in front of him,
He chose to keep chasing his footsteps, wanting to see where Foreman went.
Turning around, Gerin followed, watching Foreman knock on the door of a mansion, and say something to a young girl in a robe, as if it was who and who's missing, Gerin couldn't hear it clearly.
But from the outside, it does look like a spellcaster! Could it be that she is the presiding officer of the ceremony?
She's the leader of the Ouroboros?
However, from the faint "Miss Irene" and "Miss Wind Burst", it doesn't seem right! And from the girl's gratitude to Foreman, it doesn't look like the leader's behavior.
Gelin, who had transformed into a blue cat, was puzzled.
I can't help but secretly suspect in my heart, but you can take a look first, anyway, there are no good people who can mix with him!
However, Gelin did not startle the snake, but followed Foreman to the Ouroboros headquarters before returning to find the girl's troubles.
Soon, it found the perfect location for a sneak attack, on the outer wall of one of the mansion's eaves, less than ten meters away from the road, its breath and spells could be easily covered, and its strong body could be reached in an instant.
However, when the door opened.
Gelin, who was about to attack with the dragon's breath, was stunned, because it was not a young girl who walked out of the door, but two.
One of them, whom he still knew, was Nina, a dragonborn girl who had fed him several rolls of bread in the past two months.
At the sight of her, Gerin could even recall the disgustingly creamy flavor of the rolls, which were not salty at all!
This......
Gerin's brain was down, and the spells he had prepared couldn't be released.
In this way, a blue cat froze on the wall, like a puppet, and stared blankly at the two girls, walking in the direction of the civilian area.
Motionless.
