The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 1127
"Um... when I was chatting with him, he had never said anything like this."
"He didn't say it?" A blue-clothed iron guard said suspiciously. "If I did this, I would let the bard write it into a story and a play, so that everyone would know how brave I was to solve a knighthood that colluded with the enemy and tried to rebel, and saved more than thirty A villager who was arrested and sold as a slave. Many stories inferior to this incident have become popular dramas."
"Enough, focus on the task first..."
"I just walked out and heard you guys chatting here."
The sudden sound made Roche subconsciously pull out half of the waist knife, and after seeing the person who came, he pushed the weapon back into the sheath again.
"Zelin." Marianne turned her head and looked at the demon hunter standing around the corner. "How is it?"
"Some... unexpected." Zelin paused. "The secret letter provided by Maravill is fake."
"Gilbert is innocent?"
"Not at all." Zelin stretched out a finger and shook it. "Hawk, did you see a knight leaving while you were watching?"
He roughly described the appearance of the knight he saw in the camp of Baron Kimber.
"Yes, I saw it." Hawke nodded. "He took five soldiers and went south."
"You brought a helper, Roche? Very good. Marianne, you lead the way, we follow." Zelin said. "I feel like I'm almost finding the result."
One thousand eight hundred and ninety-two chapters of evidence
Under several broken stone pillars, two sturdy mercenaries were sitting on the gravel. Only a bunch of hair remained on the head of one mercenary, and the nose of the other mercenary still had traces of healing after being discounted. Under their shoulder armor hung a badge with two swords interlaced. Seeing his companion walking the dog from the other side of the street, he immediately got up with his broken nose to meet his companion.
"Endico, did that old man give you money?"
Endike waved his hand helplessly and sipped to the ground. "May his internal organs rot and pus. He didn't want to take out a penny, saying that it was our laziness that caused his plan to fail. Obviously the information he killed that day was completely inaccurate. It wasted our time for a week. Really Enough, we shouldn't work for the nobles at the beginning, find one or two merchants, at least they know what a contract is, what is a responsibility, and these **** nobles know to shirk."
"But we can't just sit still."
Short hair came up. "I expected to make a lot of money this time, so that the big guys in the winter can go home and rest. But let alone go home, we don't even make enough money for winter bread and firewood. We have to find a way, Kimbert Unwilling to give us, there must be someone who is willing to pay for our news."
"What are you talking about, Luther?"
"Think about it, how many spies are there in this city? Don't they all say that? Spies will be willing to spend money to buy news. Since we don't need the money, we sell the news and take a sum of money to leave. As long as we can make up for our expenses in Lomugne these days."
"You should never have such thoughts, gentlemen."
Suddenly, the friction sound of the iron armor walking around interrupted their conversation. From the direction where the mercenaries came, a knight with six heavily armed soldiers appeared on the street. The hobos in the ragged corners nearby, smelling the danger, got up and trot away, or hid behind the gravel, staring curiously at the knights and mercenaries, with a glimmer of expectation, trying to figure out the answer. What will happen next.
"It's Elibo." Endico recognized the knight's identity through the badge on the breastplate. "Gilbert's running dog."
Elibo walked up to Endico, pinched his waist with one hand, and put his hand on the hilt of the sword around his waist. "Baron Kimball sent me his thanks."
"He sent the money?"
"He wants you to get out of Lomugne immediately. If you entangle like **** on your boots, he will let a few people disappear from the world."
"Did Kimber send you this kind of bad stuff to threaten us?" Endico snorted and threw it to the ground. "When I was fighting the wolves in the ravine, you didn't know which nun you were planning to hook up with!"
"It seems that this place is indeed a ruin. There is too much trash inside. For the smelly villains, I will teach you how to behave."
Knight Elibo raised his hand, and the other six armed soldiers immediately stood in a row, blocking the three mercenaries in front of a wall. The mercenaries also drew out weapons, scimitars, chopping axes, and shields. The leader Endico stretched his neck forward and wiped his throat with his thumb.
"A sissy like you? You shit, pinch your nose and lick my ass!"
The scene of hand-to-hand combat did not appear.
The raised hand of the Ellipo knight could not be swung down. Accompanied by the sound of arrows breaking through the air, armed soldiers and knights fell one after another, with crossbow arrows stuck behind them. The mercenary stared at the enemy whose arrow fell to the ground in disbelief. Then, the blue-clothed iron guards ambushing around came out of the hiding place, aimed at the mercenary with a crossbow and approached step by step. Endico wisely threw the machete to the ground and raised his hands. The other two mercenaries followed the boss to throw away their weapons and raise their hands.
"Wait, wait, you are mistaken, I'm not in the same group with them."
"Of course you are not in the same group." Zelin stepped forward and stood in front of Endico. "Otherwise you will fall with them. Believe me, the crossbowmen here can shoot you to death five times."
Of course, the number of blue iron guards is not that many, only five. But people in fear are more likely to tell the secrets in their hearts.
"Recognize this badge?"
He raised the badge of the blue iron guard in front of Endico and shook it.
Endico shook his head, his beard trembling.
"If you don't know it, it's right." Zelin threw the badge back, and Wei Si reached out in midair to catch it. "These people are the guardians of the royal family of Tamoria. You are involved in an attack suspected of murdering the king's heir. I believe you should understand that sometimes being an honest person can bring immediate benefits, and a lying bad boy immediately Will be punished."
Endike kept nodding.
Zelin didn't expect that the mercenaries he had been investigating would be found in this way. He thought that Tysaya's spy would have to monitor around Tamoria's camp for a few days to get the result. It now appears that the day of the summit is getting closer and closer, so that many people can no longer hide behind.
But Tishaya's spy made another discovery.
"What did Jinbat hire you to do?"
Zelin asked a question, and the mercenary said what he knew.
"He hired us to go to the forest outside Lida Fort and asked us to destroy a certain motorcade passing through Ben Green. He asked us to monitor the noble motorcade on the road, two painted blue carriages and a small group of guards. We are responsible for the people in the two carriages, and the people in them are going to die. We don’t know what their identities are. We only know that they are two well-known young men and their nanny. But the problem is that the convoy did not come at all. We I waited for four days in the forest for nothing, and was attacked by another group of bandits. When we came back, Kimbert said that his plan failed because we were lazy."
Roche behind was holding back the anger of pulling the trigger.
But he can tell what is most important.
"The bandit who attacked you?"
"Yes, we waited until the fourth day. As a result, on the fourth night, a group of bandits attacked our camp and killed several people. We fought and retreated, and finally escaped in the dark. Otherwise, we will not wait for the result. Left."
"Do they use this kind of arrow?" Zelin took out the Nilfgaard arrow found on the scene.
Endico took the arrow, looked at it for a few seconds, and nodded. "Yes, I will never forget this god-killing arrow. Burgess was shot under the shoulder blade, and when we dragged him back, the doctor said his entire lung was rotten."
"Very good." Zelin nodded. "Keep in mind what you just said, next, you need to testify in front of Marshal Natalis."
"Testify? We will be divided by five horses!"
"Listen, you took the job but didn't do it. The disappearance of Prince Balsey and Princess Aneth has nothing to do with you. If you provide evidence, as a witness, Natalis will consider it at his discretion. He will not give you any rewards, and will not sentence you to punishment. But if you don’t do this, Kimbat can send people to chase you down. Anyway, we have got enough evidence and we will soon be kidnapped. Princes and princesses, your testimony will be worthless at that time, and it will be difficult for you to get out of Lomugne alive in the next two days."
The mercenaries hardly hesitated.
"Well, let's go to Marshal Natali's camp. We can testify at any time, as long as we can guarantee that we are alive. We are also making money. If we know who Kimball wants to attack, we will never take this. A single task."
"Very good. Roche." Zelin turned his head. "You send a few people to **** them to Marshal Natalis."
Five blue iron guards escorted the mercenaries away. Zelin watched them until they disappeared behind the corner.
"Kimbert is finished." Roche said angrily. "Temoria will use the most severe means to punish the traitor! The Knights are ready to capture Kimbert, and Siegfried is standing by outside the city with fifty knights."
"It's not over yet, Roche."
