"Take us to the witches - and the wizards."
Hao Ren ignored the panic and begging expression that Squirrel was trying to display, and said in an unquestioning tone."
I ......
No......
No, no, my lord, you can do whatever you want me to do, but please don't let me do that," the frightened look on Squirrel's face this time was genuine, "Lady Mary will kill me!"
She'll surely find out that I betrayed them......"
"Lady Mary?
It looks like that's 'hiring' your witch," Hao Ren raised an eyebrow, "Listen, if you take us to her, you'll die when you see her, and if you don't take us, you'll die now—life is precious, and you should count every second." ”It wasn't that he suddenly had a penchant for intimidating others, but he knew that there was no other way to deal with this cunning minions who wandered between the human world and supernatural forces, and the only language they could understand was money and violence, and the most effective language was the latter when things were more dangerous.The proper intimidation was quite effective, and the gray squirrel's face turned pale in an instant, and he realized that the man in front of him, who seemed to be smiling, was not as harmless as he appeared, he was also a predator of the dark world, and he was of a rather ruthless type: begging for mercy and procrastination were ineffective against such guys."
Good work, sir," Squirrel's face collapsed completely, "I'm just a mouse in the gutter, and the witches just let me watch here for witch hunters and other inhabitants of the Dark World passing by, and they gave me owl potions and some ointment......
But I don't know the slightest secret!
I didn't even know where they were holding witch meetings, all I was in contact with was some sorcery puppet, I reported what I saw to the puppets, and then got new ointments, and they didn't even appear in front of me except for the first meeting......
I really can't help you. ”Hao Ren frowned, and said in his heart that this was indeed the Dark Age after the end of the Age of Mythology, and even the witches and wizards who used to be alien servants had been cautious to this point, knowing that during the Mythical Wars, vassal characters like them would not even be included in the hunting list of the Demon Hunters.But this caution is understandable, and the gray squirrel in front of you speaks for itself: the loyalty of this "rat" is simply negligible, you don't even know if the last employer of these guys was a witch or a vampire, and even they may be loyal to two masters at the same time!
However, the caution of the witches was also expected, and Hao Ren gave Lily a faint look, and the latter immediately increased the strength of his hand again, and the gray squirrel even heard a crisp sound from his own neck: he almost felt that the other party was about to break his neck in the next second."
Then take us to contact the 'Lady Mary' you said," Hao Ren looked into the eyes of the gray squirrel, "take us to the contact point, and I'll take care of the rest." ”"I ......
I know, "Squirrel has never been a brave man, so his psychological defenses can only be held up to this point," I'll take you there......
I'll take you there......
Ahem, please let ...... go" Hao Ren said to Lilianunu: "Let him go." ”"Hey, I thought this guy could be hard-mouthed for a while," Lily casually threw the thin man on the ground, "Anyway, it's also in this 'business' to make a living, I didn't expect it to be so big, that Pierre was much more principled than this one." ”"Nonsense, Pierre, that's a spirit detective, this is a spirit rat, can it be the same," Hao Ren glanced at the unclear husky, "the two of them are closer to each other at work......
Lily thought about it.The night grew deeper and deeper as time passed, and the original bright moonlight gradually disappeared behind the clouds, and there was a sound of clasps colliding in the streets and alleys in the distance, and Lily's ears twitched slightly."
Someone is approaching," she looked at Hao Ren, "and there are probably a few hundred meters left." ”"It's a soldier on the night watch," Squirrel didn't wonder why the girl could hear people from such a distance, but looked nervous, "We must get out of here first, otherwise we will definitely attract people ......from the church" Hao Ren nodded, motioning for the snake to lead the way, while he and Lily followed closely behind.A group of three people weave through the intricate and dark streets of a town in the Middle Ages.In the silence of the night, the wind rose at some point, and the clouds in the sky moved rapidly, and a bright moon appeared and disappeared in the clouds, casting unpredictable ghostly shadows on the earth.In this era of lack of entertainment, the inhabitants of the town have long been asleep, there are not enough street lights, and there is no light from the houses, and the moonlight is often blocked by the clouds, the narrowest and most remote alleys are as prohibitive as the giant mouths of black holes, but the gray squirrel picks such alleys to move forward, he is really like a rat in the gutter, in these "gutters" that flow with sewage and are full of peculiar smells.It wasn't that he didn't think about risking his escape, in fact, he couldn't help but have this almost crazy thought when he got into the first dark alley, but the last reason made him sober up in time, he remembered the figure of the girl in the long skirt sweeping across the street like a gust of wind, which was far faster than human imagination, even if he took the owl potion, he couldn't keep up with the other party's figure with his eyes, let alone get out of control with the small advantage of being familiar with the terrain.All he wanted to know was what the two "Darkworld Dwellers" were trying to do, whether they were the witch's enemies or friends (though the former seemed more likely now), and if he could figure that out, he would at least know how to please each other.Unfortunately, these two mysterious people who suddenly appeared were not very different from any of the "employers" he had ever come into contact with, they seemed to have a clear goal, and they were not interested in any interests and power entanglements here, except for asking for information about those witches, these two people did not care about anything.This is not good news for the "minions" who rely on selling intelligence and acting as eyeliner for a living.But he still wanted to try to change the situation."
Honorable sir, and this honorable lady," Squirrel finally mustered up the courage to break the silence as he drew closer to the point of contact, "I suppose I need to know who I'm working for?"
”Hao Ren was observing the movement around him, their speed had slowed down now, and it was obviously close to the dirtier and more backward areas of the city - he had thought it was a town when he saw the dilapidated and dirty streets, but now that he had run so far, he understood from the scale that this was actually not a small city, but the medieval city was generally lacking in planning and cleaning, so it looked extremely backward - the surrounding streets and alleys were more dilapidated than before, and the houses were almost crumbling, From time to time, beggars huddled in the shadows can be seen on both sides of the sewage-ridden streets: the curfew system makes no sense to these poor homeless people, and the slums where they hide are places that the soldiers who watch the night do not even visit.These dilapidated streets are an even more barbaric and backward part of the barbaric and backward Middle Ages, and it is their existence that highlights the atmosphere of "civilization" in other places.The gray squirrel's voice made Hao Ren stop slightly, and he glanced back: "You think we are witchers?"
”The three words of the witcher seemed to have the power of a curse, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on the gray squirrel's face: obviously, if he really took the two witches to find the witch's contact point, then he would definitely not live to be tomorrow morning.Hao Ren smiled, his hand touched the holy silver short sword at his waist, but instead of revealing it, he gently touched Lily beside him.Lily immediately understood: "Landlord, are you hungry?"
I'm also a little hungry......
"Okay, communicate with this husky and you can understand it smoothly, that's the ghost!"
Sure enough, when this girl cooperated with scaring people before, she was completely over-performing, right?
Hao Ren gritted his teeth with hatred: "What about your ears and teeth!"
”Lily woke up and bared her teeth at the squirrel, and a pair of wolf ears peeked out from behind her hair, and at the same time, a pair of sharp canines with shimmering cold light gradually poked out of her mouth."
Wolf ......"
The gray squirrel gasped, and suddenly felt that he had really brushed shoulders with death just now, and the werewolf was the most notoriously moody among the various "masters", "Okay, okay......
I see, please put the fangs away, I'll lead the way......"
After Lily put the fangs away, the gray squirrel breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: at least not a witcher, if it was a werewolf......
You shouldn't have that much enmity with witches, right?
He doesn't know much about the "innate hostility" relationship between the various dark races, but as far as he knows, half-human, half-monster guys like witches and witches have the lowest hatred with other dark races, especially with werewolves.What he didn't know was that the reason why wizards and werewolves were more closely related was because in the ancient mythological era, werewolves were the most "raising" wizards, and they even preferred to raise wizards more than blood: werewolves have a long shadow magic heritage, and their spells are simpler, which is more suitable for humans with ordinary talents to learn, and as for the blood clans......
The Bloodline's intricate magic is almost incomprehensible to humans, and the Bloodline prefers to directly transform humans into Blood Servants rather than teach them stupid magic, which is simple and efficient, and has unmatched loyalty.These mythical secrets are not accessible to people like Squirrel.
