Blood Dawn of the Gods Book II, Chapter 45

The conspiracy is evident

Chapter Forty-Five: Lance is rescued

Huggins looked up and soon spotted the rabbi by the wooden house window. Rabbi tickled his finger at Huggins expressionlessly, and Huggins hesitated, but went over and pushed the door in.

"He's dead." Huggins replied simply, "Same as Rose." ”

"Now there are only two of us left." Rabbi looked at Huggins and said, "What are you going to do?" Huggins certainly understood that the blind man was fully protective of the tree elf and his fellow human beings. Thinking of the rabbi's hidden identity as a great swordsman, he knew that he had no possibility of coveting this tree elf, but he also said very dryly, "She is yours, and I will act as if this thing has never happened." ”

The rabbi took a small bottle from his body and carefully took some some somewhat blackened blood from the wound on Lance's body. Then he said to Huggins, "I'm sure you should also understand the cause of the death of Rose and Venables." It seems like I'm going to be busy for a while for this kid, so I need extra help from you. ”

Without waiting for Huggins to answer, the rabbi stared into Huggins' eyes and continued, "It is very important that I ask you to take good care of this child and his companions. ”

"Why?" Huggins looked at Rabbi in amazement, then slowly crossed his gaze across Violet Cindy and Lance's faces before looking at Rabbi again. For he believed that the blind man must have known that it was a tree elf, but it was clear from the rabbi's words that the boy's identity was more important than that of the tree elf.

"Knowing too much is never a good thing." The rabbi cleverly rejected Huggins' question.

Huggins rolled his eyes and asked, "So what good am I?" And when I need to take care of them. ”

"If nothing else, I don't think it will take more than ten days, and of course this period of time is not a difficult time for you. As for the benefits you mentioned, the actual rewards may not be there. Rabbi whispered in Huggins' ear, "As long as you can safely put this child in the hands of his companions, you will gain the trust of some powerful family, and Kansas City will not be a threat to you again." ”

As soon as Harkins heard this, his body suddenly stiffened, and the words of Kansas City hit his chest like a thunderbolt, making him stunned, and only reacted with a half-sound, stuttering with a frightened expression: "What are you, and what do you really know?" ”

"My identity may not be exposed after this time, but now is not the time to tell you, although it seems that taking care of them is very simple, but it is very dangerous, which you need to pay attention to." Rabbi was already sure that Huggins would accede to his request.

Huggins knew that the man in front of him clearly grasped the secret he had hidden in his heart, and if he didn't agree, he would definitely go to the path of the lost dog's escape career again, so he had no other choice. But when he heard the rabbi talk about danger, he immediately thought of the escaped sword master and couldn't help asking, "Then how can I keep them safe?" ”

"Someone will contact you, you just have to take care of them." Rabbi patted Huggins on the shoulder and said, "Remember, making sure the news is never revealed is the key to safety." After saying that, Huggins, who was still thinking, turned and pushed the door and left.

Huggins looked at Rabi's distant back in a daze, until the rabbi's figure disappeared before turning to look at the unconscious Lance and Veil Cindy, slightly distracted and blinking, and then grabbed the two of them and quickly left the hut through the back door.

The heavy and chaotic sound of iron hooves broke the tranquility of Xilin Town. Bright red flame flags fluttered in the wind, and red standard armor and red warhorses appeared like a blazing fire on the streets of the town. Thousands of angry Imperial cavalry rushed into the town of Xilin with a fierce killing intent. For a moment the whole town fell into a loud noise of people and horses.

Under the command of a hundred army leaders, the warriors of the Legion of Flames quickly deployed, occupying various throats of the entire town and unfolding a defensive formation. The two men who were gathered at the same time slowly rode their war horses to the gate of the town minister. One of them had a fiery inlaid armor inlaid with gold ornaments that belonged only to the viscount, and the other had a long gray beard of mottled color that hung down to his chest, and his long gray hair was hidden in a pointed hat with a wide brim, and a linen robe that was the same gray as the hat and a shoulder-high magic wand in his hand revealed that he was a magician.

At the door of the minister sat an adult man missing a left leg, the man who always had a lazy smile on his face, the same disabled man who Lance and Violet Cindy had met before who claimed to be selling news.

The disabled man looked at the leader of the Legion of Fire with a playful expression on his face, with a tired but dignified look, the two old and one young man got off their horses and walked to him, which symbolically bent his waist slightly: "Welcome to Xilin Town, Your Excellency the Magician and your Lord Viscount." ”

"I have long heard that the minister of Xilin Town is a resourceful man, but unfortunately he is a cripple." Alban looked at the man and said, "You are Brendan. Minister Id? ”

"If it weren't for one leg, who would have done those boring and nerve-wracking things?" Brendan nodded politely while laughing at himself, and Alban simply introduced himself, and then introduced Galgudo to Brendan and then asked, "Your men told me that Lance is here." ”

"I know you're anxious to see that kid." Id retracted the lazy expression on his face and said seriously, "But I also hope that you can be mentally prepared enough, to be honest, the state of that child is definitely not something you can imagine." ”

The dark-skinned, wrinkled bald man who slept on the bed exuded an extremely uncomfortable aura.

It took Galgudo and Alban a long time to recover from that horror, but only to stop maintaining that extremely gaffe expression. Lance's state was indeed as Brendan had said it was far beyond what they could have imagined.

"What the hell is going on?" Galgudo's face was gloomy, and his cold eyes looked around everyone in the hut.

Brendan shook his head, "No one knows what happened to Lance, this poor child has been in a coma for five days. ”

Alban interjected and asked, "What happened to the injury on Reims's body, this wound will never last more than seven days." Alban was clearly an expert in this area, and he saw Lance's sword wound at a glance and accurately judged the time of the injury.

"I hurt." Huggins said without hesitation, "I didn't know he was Lance. Reddy. I only knew he was going to kill my employer, so we got into a fight. ”

The two men's answers made Galgudo and Alban feel even more confused. Fortunately, Brendan began to state his conjecture and some of the actual situations he encountered afterwards, and the facts were indeed almost exactly the same as Brendan's speculations.

"You're saying that Lance took revenge on Venabours for the sake of that tree elf, and I don't believe it." Galgudo apparently did not approve of everything Brendan had said, and in fact Lance had always been a shy and simple teenager in his heart, and well educated, and would never do the kind of fighting and fierce behavior described by Id for the sake of a foreign race.

Alban heard some of the doubts in Brendan's description, and asked with a furrowed brow, "Since you have already guessed the identity of Lance, why do you want them to take risks?" ”

Alban and Calgudo thought exactly the same thing, Lance must have been seduced by Brendan, or Ed had verbally deceived Lance, which led to the battle that took place at the Blackthorn Inn. Of course Brendan had already heard this dissatisfaction in the faces and tones of the two men.

"No, two adults, the situation is not actually what you think." Brendan said unashamedly: "I found a suspicious point while collecting clues, someone tried to kill Lance, and it just so happened that they used Venables, in order to expose these people from the shadows, so I had to think of something." Fortunately, Lance was not too badly hurt. ”

If what Brendan said was true, then a potentially terrible message immediately surfaced, Lance's true identity was revealed, and there were attempts to murder Lance to worsen relations between Valencia and Baruch. Baruch would not have gone to war for Lance's life, but the Cansburg Entente would certainly have survived in name only.

Alban stared intently at Brendan with a strong murderous spirit, and the face of Brendan in the light became somewhat mysterious. "How can you prove that all this is true?" Alban's tone was tinged with a strong chill.

"Three days after the Giant's Bar was burned, there were two more suspicious people in the town, and then I began to focus on these two people, and sure enough, Vernaburs, for the sake of the tree elves, refused to give up, and reached a secret agreement with the two mysterious people to plan the murder against Lance." Brendan, unaffected by Alban's compulsive intent, explained steadily: "If I had stopped the murder plan before Lance appeared in the town, they would have found out that I had noticed them, and for Lance's safety, I had to do so." ”

This explanation was reasonable, but Galgudo asked, "You say they planned a murder plan against Lance, so how do you know?" ”

Brendan smiled softly. "There was a confidant in Wenaburs named Hubbert, and he provided me with this information."

"Listening to you say that, these things don't seem simple." Alban said meaningfully.

"That's right, Lord Quill." Brendan sighed and said, "We also paid a big price, two houses were destroyed, and five people died." ”
