Chapter 214
The sound of messy footsteps broke the tranquility of the deep alley. Soon several mercenaries holding torch stepped on the sewage under their feet, and broke in one by one.
This is a standard small mercenary group-the leader is a middle-aged wandering Knight, four light mercenaries with small round shields and broadswords follow closely from behind, and finally A crossbowman with a shield on his back.
Six silhouettes holding the torch broke into the deep alley. The first person who walked in was the wandering Knight headed in. Almost at a glance, he found the footprints by the dry well. Four mercenaries held them. Shields surrounded him all around, and crossbowmen crouched in the alley to watch. Obviously this is not the first time that the degree of tacit cooperation has been achieved.
“There are footprints here, and it’s very messy, indicating that assassin has stayed here for a while.” The experienced wandering Knight immediately made a judgment:
“And from the pace In terms of the span, they are already very tired, and maybe they are dragged down by casualties. It is not a problem to catch up with them!"
The faces of several mercenaries who heard this immediately showed up. They were all attracted by the huge bounty offered by the Bellini family. Now that the prey is in front of them, how can they not be excited? !
Each head has a total of four hundred gold coins of perfect color, regardless of life or death! If you can catch alive, the bounty is doubled!
For the Bellini family, four hundred gold coins may not be enough to cover the cost of a banquet. A precious book requires five gold coins; For the mercenaries, this is a sum of money for life.
That's worth the death!
"Wait!"
The moment the mercenaries turned and left, the wandering Knight suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered something: "These footprints are messy, but But none of them left."
"That is to say...the assassins are still here, their footprints are just deliberately left behind!"
They are still surprised At that moment, a scream suddenly came from behind. When they suddenly turned their heads, they saw not the crossbowman who was supposed to be standing there, but a guy in a red and black dress with a black head.
"Kill him!"
The mercenaries did not hesitate, and the four javelins flew towards Loren through the air. The same black hair wizard without the slightest hesitation immediately grabbed the corpse on the ground and threw it forward to block the two deadliest ones, and then flashed away with a sliding step. The right hand had already pulled out the "bright silver" on the waist.
"May the void be with you."
Before the surprised mercenaries could see what was going on, the silver-plated dagger in the hands of the black hair wizard turned into flashing The "long sword" of the gray blue rays of light, the standard is too standard to raise the long sword above the head, and then slash it head-on!
The subconsciously mercenary immediately raised the shield, but the "bright silver" strengthened by the "sorcerer" could even cut off steel...With the crash of the shield shattering, the sight was caught by the rays of The mercenary invaded by light silently turned into a corpse on the ground.
"The second one."
Maybe because of the death of the brothers, maybe because of the casually irritated attitude of the black hair wizard, the remaining three mercenaries Before waiting for the wandering Knight behind him to give an order, he roared and lunged at him.
Up ahead one, one left and right, standard double-teaming tactics-if you dare to step back, you will be greeted with a javelin without dead ends!
So the correct approach is to strike forward. After confirming their positions, Loren rushed directly to the up ahead mercenary, and a "Hovering Spell" bounced off the opponent's shield!
The gray blue sword body penetrated the first "unlucky ghost". At the moment before the second mercenary pounced on, Loren squatted down and escaped one after the other two broadswords. Stab, let them perish together by the way.
"Then the fifth one."
The mercenary holding the shield seemed to be frightened and stupefied, standing still and watching the black hair wizard like a hungry wolf pounce at him , I didn't seem to realize that this was a gesture of death at all, but instinctively raised the broad sword in his hand and swung it down fiercely.
Loren also lifted "Bright Silver" subconsciously, but at this moment, the gray blue sword glow gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared.
Good opportunity!
"Go to die... eh?!" At this moment, he could see that there was a javelin on his chest-he just threw it out to get one, not being avoided, but being black hair The wizard caught it.
"The sixth." This was the last sentence he heard before he died.
Now, in the entire mercenary squad, only the elderly wandering Knight is left. Loren, who slowly lifts the head, plays with the "bright silver" in his hand, with dark pupils without any emotion, looking at him as if he is looking at a prey.
"Who, what are you?!"
The wandering Knight with a cold sweat from behind tightly grasped the Knight long sword in his hand, his legs were trembling and contracted violently The pupils didn't even dare to look at those dark eyes.
I didn't even have one minute from start to finish, and my five brothers were slaughtered like beasts!
"Why do so many people like to ask me this question tonight?" The black hair wizard showed a very incomprehensible expression, and walked aside recklessly, and even took the initiative to face the wandering Knight. Kneel down to pick up the light crossbow dropped by the crossbowman:
"Does this question really make sense?"
The wandering Knight did not answer his question. He is now There was a battle between heaven and man in my mind-now this guy is squatting on the ground with his back facing him, if he attacks now, he will definitely not have time to fight back.
Yes, it's now! I can get rid of this damn guy, I don't know where it came from!
But, could this be a trap... The hesitant wandering Knight swallowed saliva and said fiercely, summoned the courage to speak: "You, if you kill me, the patrol guards outside will You will find that we did not go back. When the time comes, you will never escape!
You should be a Knight too, right? So why don’t we make a deal; let me go, I will take the honor of Knight. I promise that I will never confess you. I will not say more about it. What do you think?!" After finishing speaking, Knight wandered in cold sweat and held the long sword in his hand tightly, step by step Cautiously approached the black hair wizard with his back facing him from behind.
Patience, patience, wait a while, wait a while...Wait a while later, you can poke this bastard to your heart!
"Well, what you said is correct, such a big movement, impossible will not be discovered." Loren seemed to be thinking about his proposal very seriously, still silently nodded, not at all He noticed that the guy behind him was getting closer and closer.
Very good, very good, keep thinking about it, think about it... the smile on the wandering Knight's face grew thicker.
"On the other hand, if there is a big enough movement to attract their attention for me, then I don't need you?"
What do you mean?
Wandering Knight has not had time to understand, the flames of Golden Red suddenly rose from the opposite street!
"Boom——!!!"
The bursting sound made the wandering Knight subconsciously take a half step back, waiting for him to come back to his senses, originally squatting with his back to him The black hair wizard underneath was looking at him jokingly, with the light crossbow in his hand pressed against his forehead.
"Look, I don't need you anymore."
The wandering Knight opened his mouth in surprise, but was speechless for a while.
"Since you really want to know so much, I can also tell you: under Loren Torino, the wizard advisor of Lotel Duchy heir to Deep Limburg count, the sorcerer of Wimpal Academy...Finally, it is still one The night watchman, yes, they are the same assassin in Bellini’s mansion. I believe you should be satisfied?"
Loren’s this remark is not with the wandering Knight, but with hiding What Peter and the remaining night watchmen near the deep alley said-since they are ready to get along well in the future, the first thing to do is of course to convince the other party to believe in themselves, even if the trust is only on the surface.
"I, I..."
"Now that you are satisfied, please go to hell as soon as possible." Loren's mouth showed a faint smile arc, and he snapped it down The trigger of the light crossbow: "I wish you a pleasant journey and a smooth journey!"
"pu!"
The crossbow arrow pierced the head of the wandering Knight, and his body was like a puppet with a stripped thread. She collapsed to the ground like she did.
"Very well, now it's safe for the time being." Loren shrugged, and threw away the light crossbow: "What are you doing there, we have to run away quickly-otherwise they will sooner or later We will still find us!"
The four night watchmen who were numb and nodded by his "performance" just now, only Peter noticed that just when Loren turned his head, his black feather eagle He also flew over very tacitly and landed firmly on Loren's shoulder.
The location of the explosion just now is the direction from which it flew.
Is this a coincidence? !
