The sound of horses' hooves came from the long street in the distance like a drumbeat.The cavalry of the Knights of the Guard Battalion of Qiyan City finally rushed out of the guard, as slow as ever.The knights, riding glossy coats of glossy Guborian horses and wearing standard light armor, quickly came to the Champs-Élysées and surrounded the estate of the Angus Juttas brothers, lining up five hundred knights, with five-meter-long knightly spears in their hands, pointed at the walls of the manor, and the other holding a knight's shield, standing in the street in order.The manor was shrouded in a thick layer of white mist, and the hoarfrost on the bluestone slabs in the thick fog had spread to the streets, and the cold breath made it feel like a cold winter.The knights did not rush into the thick fog, several knight chiefs in silver armor stood at the front, they looked at the gate of the manor that appeared and disappeared in the rolling fog, and discussed countermeasures, but it seemed that they did not want to risk rushing into the manor shrouded in fog.The two knights, shields in their hands, rode their horses slowly towards the main entrance of the manor, and when the horses stepped on the frosty ground, they did not want to go any further, they stopped where they were, and the hooves of the horses kept kicking the stone floor with a crisp sound of stamping.At this time, a series of explosions came out of the manor, and then there was a roar when the huge building overturned, and the cold wave in the manor came in waves like ocean waves, and the two Gubolai horses looked a little uneasy, and they tried to keep back, even if the knight in the saddle pulled the reins and calmed down the two war horses, these two war horses did not want to approach the cold fog anyway.The knight chiefs regrouped and discussed again, and simply asked the two knights who were close to the dense fog to shout to the inside of the manor: "Listen inside, you have set up the knights of the guard camp of Qiyan City to surround you, I ask you to lay down your weapons and not to make fearless resistance" The ice wall in the manor has completely collapsed.The courtyard was littered with the corpses of the guards and lizard-man war slaves, and the blood congealed into dark red marks on the ground.Most of the slave traders who dared to resist were killed by us, and some of the manor guards chose to surrender.They were forced to drop their weapons, take off their leather armor, and gather in a clearing next to the pool.According to Justes's idea, these slave traders should all be killed to prevent future troubles.However, Ying Li believes that as a nobleman of the Green Empire, he should not kill the unarmed, and these manor guards should be convicted by the verdict sent to Strange Rock City, and only accept the verdict if they are found guilty.There were also some lizard slaves in the slave enclosure in the outer courtyard who had neither resisted nor escaped, perhaps huddled together in the cold, watching the situation outside with trepidation.All the forces that dared to resist in the inner courtyard were cleared, and only a few women, children, and maids were left in the manor, who hid in the house and shivered, and some of the children had hatred in their eyes, and wanted to rush out of the house to be a warrior, only to be desperately held in the arms of the women, hiding in the most inconspicuous rooms.Now that Angus and Juttas have been captured by us, I have decided that this revenge will end here, and that the Archon of Strange Rock City, the Marquis of Norman, and the Council Chamber of Strange Rock City will deal with this matter, while the knights of the guard battalion gather outside the manor, and the voice full of justice can be heard far away in the night.The frost runes that had been laid out outside the manor were all recovered.The barbarian slaves carried some of the loot looted from the manor and returned to Xinliu Valley through the portal, in addition to looting all the stored food in the manor's cellar, some barbarian slaves actually carried the tropical plants in the garden and brought all the plantain trees more than five meters high back to Xinliu Valley.Anne looked at these barbarian slaves with a puzzled expression, Nakma black iron armor, heavy crossbows on their backs, and delicate moonblade axes hanging from their waists, some couldn't understand what these barbarian slaves had in their heads, grass seeds and dung or something, the most unlikely thing was the brain.They regarded the precious oil paintings, gold and silver utensils, and the sophisticated weapons and equipment, and the young and beautiful women as if they had nothing, but they robbed the food in the cellar, and those who could not grab the food did not let go of the banana trees, "Why do you think they want to move these banana trees?"
”Anne couldn't control her curiosity and asked Sister Su beside her."
How do I know" Su was still angry with Anne at this time, reluctant to talk to her sister, and there was a hint of anger in her tone.The Barbarian Slaves originally wanted to bring the corpses of the Lizard War Slaves and the Manor Guards back to the underground caverns in the Willow Valley to eat, but this was strictly forbidden by Justus and the Minotaur Ruka, so they diverted their targets and looted everything that could be eaten in the Angus Yutath Brothers' Manor, fortunately there was a row of stables behind the manor, and the food in the cellar was very rich.The manor shrouded in a thick fog became quiet as the barbarian slaves quickly evacuated.Ying Li and I stood on the arrow tower, and the majestic knights of the guard battalion on the street were stopped out of the fog, and they never dared to break into the thick fog.Several demonic flares appeared in the night sky in a row, which meant that the law enforcement team of the Magic Guild of Strange Rock City was rapidly approaching.The mages are a little more mobile in the city, and they can fly at will on their magic handles.However, at night, if you don't want to hit the spire or the roof of a building, or hang on a tree or light pole, the team leader will basically light these cheap magic flares to clear the way when flying, and these flares can serve as lighting in complex environments.Ying Li exhaled softly and whispered to me, "It seems that the law enforcement team of the Magic Guild has been dispatched this time, let's go!"
”As the frost runes were all retracted, the dense fog around the manor quickly dissipated.Justus, along with Caterina and Ruka the Minotaur walked up to the Arrow Tower, and Justus nodded to me and said, "It's all taken care of below." ”"Alright, let's get out of town!"
I stood on the arrow tower and tore open a directional teleportation scroll.The portal slowly opened, and countless arcs made the spatial crack into the shape of a door, and when the arc stabilized a little, and the portal had just stabilized a little, Caterina was the first to enter the portal.Erica stood at the portal with a somewhat complicated expression.She hesitated for a moment and asked me, "Are you a member of the Astrologers' Union?"
”"Well, no, I joined the Mingshi Guild.The method of making the Directional Teleportation Scroll was taught to me by Senior Dylan. ”I smiled faintly and said to Erica.Seeing Sula walk Anne into the portal and disappear, Erica-senpai hesitated for a moment and took a step into the portal.The ice fog outside had gradually lifted, and the outline of the manor had gradually revealed its rough outline.I walked into the portal, and the moment I stepped into the portal, a feeling of being watched surged from the bottom of my heart, but the vision in front of me suddenly dimmed, and my vision recovered in an instant, I was already standing in the dense forest outside the city, I waited outside the portal for a few seconds, and the power of the thunder and lightning transmitted to the portal was reduced, and the portal became a little unstable and would collapse at any time.Just when everyone thought I was going to put the portal away, I turned around and went back into the portal again.At the moment when I drilled out of the portal, I clearly saw a gray figure hiding in the shadow of the arrow tower, there was no need to hesitate, I held the cold crystal dagger tightly, and with the other hand carried the hammer of the Temporal Breaker, chasing after the gray figure.Three layers of ice shields surrounded my body, and as soon as I took two steps, Caterina chased after me.I turned my head to look at her, and without explaining what I meant, I pounced in the direction of my gaze, and in the shadows of the arrow tower, Caterina carried a struggling, skinny assassin in her hand."
Let's go!"
I lowered my voice and urged Katarina.Caterina easily subdued the thin figure, pinched her directly under her side, and followed me through the portal again.When I got out of the city, I didn't hesitate to put the portal away.Although we were not too familiar with the rainforest outside Strange Rock City, that didn't mean that we lacked experience in night marching in the jungle, and we quickly moved away from Strange Rock City after determining our direction.The raid was coming to an end in less than an hour, and after the brothers Angus and Utas were captured by us, we let the barbarian slaves retreat to the Willow Valley, and after hastily cleaning up the battlefield, we opened a portal directly to the outside of the city under the heavy siege of the knights of the Strange Rock City Guard Battalion.This is probably something that the knights of the guard battalion never thought of in any case, and we would actually leave through the portal.Taking advantage of the night, we drove some way through the woods.However, before dawn, Justus carved out a glade in the dense rainforest, and Ruka the Minotaur threw the Angus Yutas brothers with rice dumplings tied around their shoulders under a large tree, and then skillfully set up a simple marching tent, Helena and Becky hurriedly chased after Ruka to help.To be honest, I'm not very good at pitching tents, because in the Black Forest on the Hiero plane, every time I camp and rest, there are special Hiero natives who build a treehouse for me.Next to her, Anne and Sue and Erica were also setting up a tent.Caterina and I crouched under a tree, staring at the emaciated maiden, dressed in a gray linen coat, with a layer of charcoal on her little face, and a pair of big eyes, looking at us pitifully, and I could see the trepidation and unease in her eyes."
Hey, what's your name?"
I sat down on a thick tree root that was sticking out of the ground and asked the thin girl.Caterina crouched in front of the maiden, cut the ropes that bound her hands and feet with a dagger, she gently rubbed her somewhat reddened wrists, and said weakly, "Amy." ”I continued, "Say it!
Why are you still following us?
”Judging from Amy's attire and dress, she did not look like a relative of Angus Jutas, or even a maid in the manor, she wore a very old gray linen coat and trousers, although shabby, but it was still clean, and it fit well, and at first glance she looked like a child of a poor family.It seems to feel that we don't have much hostility, and Amy's big eyes become a little more agile."
I didn't think to follow you, Master Magician, I just sneaked to the manor of the slave owner, Young Master Angus, to inquire about my brother's whereabouts."
As Amy rubbed her ankles, her eyes stole at Katerina's dagger tied to her thigh, a look of envy in her eyes."
You're not from the manor?"
I asked her.Amy shook her head vigorously and raised a hand to begin swearing to the gods.However, since the temples have been forced to close, I don't think the gods are binding enough on this oath at this time, and it is far less convincing than the magic contract."
Your brother is on the Angus manor?"
I asked again."
No, he has nothing to do with the slave owner Angus."
The girl hugged her knees tightly, and she continued, "He went out of the city with the two magicians a few days ago, and he never returned, and I want to find him. ”Her voice was a little hoarse, and Caterina handed her a kettle, which she took without hesitation, and poured a stomach full of water, and her stomach gurgled instead.She looked at Caterina with some embarrassment, licked her lips, and handed the kettle back embarrassedly.Caterina smiled softly, reached out to help the girl comb the loose hair on her head, as if by magic, took out half a piece of white bread in her hand, and handed it to the girl Amy.Amy's eyes widened, staring at the white bread in front of her, hesitating for a second, reaching out to grab the bread and stuffing it into her mouth.It wasn't until she had added all the half of the loaf of bread to her stomach and drank up a whole jug of water from Caterina that she breathed a sigh of relief and a new glow in her eyes.She was like a child who had been hungry for a long time, and occasionally ate a full meal, her stomach was so swollen that she didn't dare to move, so she could only lean against the big tree carefully, but there was an unprecedented satisfaction in her eyes.Amy said to us, "I've heard from my brother that the slave owner, Master Angus, has recently set a trap for foreign adventurers. ”"They often trick the new adventurers out of the city, and then have a group of lizard slaves pretend to be lizard tribe warriors, kill these adventurers, and plunder their property.""
These guys are hateful, but sometimes they don't kill the guide, at most they just take them up and lock them up for a while, so I thought I'd go to the manor and ask if they had caught my brother."
Master Magician, I know you must be demons, and you found the slave owners Angus and Yutath specifically to find those missing adventurers, right?"
My heart moved slightly, and I blurted out, "What's your brother's name?"
”The girl Amy blurted out without thinking, "Nathaniel!
