Chapter 260
"What is the next plan?"
The attic, which is so quiet that only the "creaking" of the wooden planks can be heard, just broke through from the street and arrived at the "temporary stronghold" Each of the entire group is busy with the work at hand-squatting by the window, concentrated attention completely watching Edward and Liya, complexion pale and sweaty, but still desperately winding the bow and trimming the arrow, the little wizard...
While the boring night watchman Vera crouched in the corner, she had to look towards the dark-haired wizard who seemed to be fiddling with something, "Aren’t we going to find the Holy Grail of the nine-pointed star?"
"Yes, and now we have completed the 1st Step-find a temporary stronghold that is hidden enough to observe the surroundings." The perfunctory black hair wizard answered casually: "Here The location is very safe, and it can also monitor half of the civilian area in the south of the city. It can be said that everything is going well so far."
"Oh, what's next?"
"Nothing. "
Huh? !
"The emergence of the nine-pointed star holy grail is premised. Before it appeared, everything we did was useless." Loren closed his eyes slightly and put all his attention on his left hand. "Sorcerer" on "Because of this, there is no good way other than waiting."
"In this case, where is the same?" Vera, who was still not persuaded, retorted "Why do I have to break in?"
"That's because although we know it will appear, no one knows when and where it will be." This time the person who explained it changed Became Edward: "If you can't grab it and find it immediately, it's meaningless."
"Immediately?" The female night watchman's expression became even more confused: "Is there anyone else who wants to grab it except us? Is the nine-pointed star holy grail?"
"...That's it."
Edward, who answered slowly, turned his head, but stared at Loren Torino with a deep gaze, not lacking in deep meaning. opened the mouth and said: "There are many people who want to get the Holy Grail of the nine-pointed star."
Until before departure, Edward knew that Loren Torino did not intend to perform and the night watchman and Corona The family agreement, find the nine-pointed star holy grail for them, but prepare to snatch it from the Corona family!
This job has gone far beyond his duty as a night watchman, and it seems very unwise to help any party.
But he still chose to stand on Loren Torino's side—compared to the wild ambition of Corona, a very unstable ally, Edward is more inclined to help their black hair wizard. .
There is only one thing that makes Edward always feel a little skeptical: According to Peter Fasha told him, the reason why the Corona family wanted to snatch the Holy Grail of the nine-pointed star, and finally convinced the wizard Everything depends on the tower because they got the help of an Evil God!
The Holy Grail of the Nine-pointed Star is a creation that belongs to the last epoch and is similar to the ancient Evil God, so only Evil God can discover and find its specific location.
If Loren Torino is not ready to fulfill the agreement, how can he find it in front of the Corona family and get the Holy Grail of the nine-pointed star?
There is another question. For what reason did he make up his mind to break with the Corona family with the help of Evil God, but he is not ready to join Holy Cross Church?
Staring at the black hair wizard who closed his eyes and meditated, Edward left a drop of cold sweat on his forehead... He felt that he had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, but he couldn't be completely sure.
There was silence in the attic. The bored Vera squatted in the corner, and the little wizard, whose hands were still shaking, was still clenching his teeth. The overly calm atmosphere made Edward couldn’t help but want to speak:
"Luo..."
"Someone is coming!"
The nervous voice broke Silent, the war dancer Liya, who was lying by the window, had clenched Lance and stared at the street outside the attic.
Almost at the same time, Vera and Ayin got up from the ground, and Loren, who closed his eyes and meditated, slowly got up, waved to the female elf, and signaled her to calm down.
Edward, who originally wanted to ask questions, had to give up temporarily, drew out the stabbing sword from his waist, and lowered his body to prepare for a surprise attack.
"Quiet, don't move."
The Loren who was surrounded by the center slowly squatted down, his eyes flickering: "How many people are there?"
" About thirty to fifty, not more." The female elf's ears trembled slightly and looked at him with a serious expression: "It should not be a mutant monster, but a fully armed human."
"Also, very difficult to deal with!" It seemed that she was worried about the other party's wrong judgment, Liya added.
"How to determine this?" The question was the little wizard.
"The sound of their footsteps is heavy, indicating that they must be wearing armor and their weapons are not light-but such heavy footsteps are not messy at all, and even very orderly."
p>The person who explained is Loren: "Prove that they have received training and are well-trained."
"They are crossing the street, coming over here." The female elf frowned, the more her expression became Coming more and more nervous: "It seems, it seems to be along the direction when we came!"
Who is it?
And when more than forty silhouettes appeared at the end of the street, this question no longer made sense.
"Your Excellency Loren Torino, please come out by yourself, I know you are here."
A well-cut lace robe, dressed like a party With a smile on his face, Alto Bellini, walking on the streets full of bones, blood plasma and smelly water, is dignified and elegant, as if he was a poet not interested in mundane affairs:
"You shouldn't forget me?"
Standing behind him are more than forty fully armed, wandering Knights wearing sophisticated armor and holding heavy swords. The stiff expression is like more than forty fully armed dead people.
Apparently, the corpses on the ground and the traces of destruction along the way have exposed them.
The black hair wizard in the attic glanced at each other with a few people. After the tacit understanding, he walked out of the attic alone, drew out the long sword and confronted Alto Bellini.
"Very well, I thought I would invite you out." With a chuckle, Aalto continued opening the mouth and said: "I wonder if I can ask you a question?"
"Can I not answer?"
"No."
"What else is there to ask?" Loren shrugged, "You don't know where this is— —Continue to drag on, even if there are a hundred mercenaries behind you, those monsters will not blink."
Alto's smile was stiff, and his expression twitched suddenly. Gritting his teeth as if desperately restraining his anger, opened the mouth and said: "Very well, you are still so arrogant, then I'll just say it-I know your purpose here, and I know you and the Corona family Relationship."
"So..." Loren lightly snorted.
"So, I hope you can change the door to serve me, that is, to serve the Bellini family." Alto Bellini's voice became more and more cold: "As long as you can find Jiu Mang Star Holy Grail, and get it for me-no matter what the price, the Bellini family can afford it!"
"For example...you are a wizard, a wizard’s lifelong desire What is your dream to get a manor and a wizard tower of your own? It’s easy, in your hometown of Lothar, I can build your own wizard tower in any castle for you, and get you through the Holy Cross No one dare to trouble you with Church’s relationship!"
"Or do you think Lotaire is too remote and not as prosperous as Eboden? That's okay. Just one sentence, Bellini family is here There are six manors outside the city and two mansions inside the city at your choice! We will also fully support your research and make you a master of spell studies that can be handed down to the world! Even persuade the nine-pointed star wizard tower to help you and spell studies It's not impossible to set up a branch specifically!" After finishing talking, Aalto looked at him with a will to win, waiting for the black hair wizard's final reply.
"It's so generous, to be honest...So far, you are the most generous of all those who bid me a price."
Can't help but exclaim. Loren smiled slightly and blinked: "Then what if I say... I refuse?"
"I refuse..."
Alto's eyes were harsh , Slowly looked towards the wandering Knights behind him:
"I want to live!"
