Facts have proved that the golden boy is still somewhat useful. After all, he was once a subordinate of Herodotus, and he has a better understanding of Herodotus's habits. Having him by his side can indeed play a role in checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps.
But when Tom had a sudden idea and asked Golden Boy if he could persuade the Guards to join him in Shuangxiu, or at least bring his subordinates to join him, Golden Boy shook his head and refused.
Later he explained, "The curse placed on us by the Silver Moon Church is very powerful. No one has been able to escape this curse for thousands of years, so very few soldiers of the Guards will betray the church, even if they are my team members."
.
"If I hadn't fallen into your hands, I wouldn't have chosen this path."
Tom felt that it was almost time to draw a conclusion. Golden Boy was useful, but not much.
But now is not the time to settle old scores with this guy, let’s rescue Clara first.
After deciding on the plan, everyone began to check their weapons and equipment, and at the same time recharged their batteries and waited for dark.
Based on Tom's experience living in the City of Scales these days, the City of Scales is usually very deserted during the day, and even more deserted at night.
The new soldiers have been running amok in the city, but Herodotus did not stop them. This caused panic in the city. Most people did not dare to go out for fear of being dragged to trial as heretics.
But tonight was quieter than before, and even the Mai people who had been very active before were much less common. Tom smelled an unusual smell in the air.
And he was not the only one who felt this way, the golden boy's expression was also very serious.
"Martina's army will arrive tomorrow. It is estimated that many people will not be able to sleep tonight."
"This is none of our business," said Tom, "let's go and rescue Mary first."
The golden boy nodded.
The time soon came to midnight, everyone put on their weapons and equipment and quietly left the brothel and walked towards the courtyard where the maid was kept.

Until they walked two streets away, they didn't meet a single person.
In the past, there were still some drunkards and vagrants in the city, but now the former can't find a place to drink, and the latter have probably joined the New Army.
Tom saw a few mice running past in the dark. One of them seemed to have half an ear in its mouth. Judging from the shape, it should be human.
Everyone walked for a while again, and this time they finally heard the sound of horse hooves.
Tom wanted to hide, but unfortunately he was a step too late. The nearest hiding place was ten steps away. The rider on the horse saw them at about the same time and asked, "Who is that?! Stop and don't move."
Tom stopped when he heard this. He had already seen that there were only four riders on the opposite side. He lowered his voice and said to the others behind him, "Listen to my command. When they get close, we will take action and kill them directly."
As a result, when the four of them approached, Tom saw clearly the appearance of the leading rider, and was slightly startled.
The other party was also surprised, "It's you, what are you going to do so late?!"
"Nothing, just going for a walk." Tom said, "What about you, Mr. Constantino?"
"I'm on patrol." Constantino glanced at the sword on Tom's waist and the weapons in other people's hands and sneered, "You guys are fully armed when you are walking?"
"There is no way, you know the current situation in the city," Tom spread his hands, "No matter what we do, we have to save our lives first, but you, do you have so many manpower for patrol?"
After hearing what Tom said, Constantino fell silent.
After a moment, he said, "People in the city are generally not optimistic about the upcoming battle, and Sir Ed has not shown up. Many guards are unwilling to go out to patrol again, or simply find a place to hide and drink while patrolling."
"Really, then I also recommend you to do this."
"How is this possible? My father is a peace officer. I can't let him be embarrassed." Constantino said proudly.
"If I were your father, I would prefer to see my son safe and sound."
"This is why we are nobles and you are a commoner. We will regard honor as life." After Constantino finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and then warned Tom.
"You are lucky to have met me, but your good luck will run out sooner or later if you keep wandering around outside. Go back early."
After speaking, Constantino grabbed the horse's reins and said to the three guards behind him, "Let's keep going forward and take a look at the hive! There are many shops there, and you might be targeted."
Tom wanted to say something more, but soon the four riders disappeared from their sight.
The golden boy looked at the direction Constantino left and said calmly, "It's courageous, but he still shouldn't go to the hive, especially tonight."
"He's the Sheriff's son."
"Even the owner of Scaled City is huddled in his castle." The golden boy said, "All carnivals have their price. That linen clothes may be useful against the common people in the city, but they are not suitable for the major families in the Upper West.
The only way out is death."
"Facing a powerful enemy, they should calm down and prepare for the upcoming war."
"Or, you can also choose to take advantage of the last chance to go crazy again." Golden Boy's voice was not warm at all, "Don't overestimate the courage of those scum. I have eliminated many such guys before, and they cannot be counted at all.
man."
This time it was Tom's turn to be silent.
Although they didn't interact with him many times, he had a good impression of Constantino. Although the son of the sheriff had some youthful pride, he was quite upright and had a moral standard that was rare among nobles.
Tom still didn't want anything to happen to him, so he vaguely advised the other party to stop patrolling around. Unfortunately, Constantino didn't take his words to heart, and Tom also had more important things to do at hand.
In the end, he could only sigh and continue to lead people towards the courtyard where the little maid was imprisoned.
They soon arrived at the courtyard wall, and Tom left one person to control the drone and watched the three-eyed iron bird finally hover over the courtyard.
Soon the scene in the courtyard came into view.
Even though he had watched the video once before, Golden Boy still couldn't help but express his heartfelt emotion, this sacred weapon is really too powerful!
Just like when fighting, you can see the opponent's movements first.
How can you lose if you already know in advance which direction his sword will strike and where it will land before your opponent makes a move?
According to the plan, Tom and others sneaked into the yard smoothly after the patrolmen left.
Then he easily killed the patrol through an ambush, and came all the way to the small building.
The guards in front of the building saw Tom walking towards them, and were about to call out to their companions, but the next moment the little red dot on their foreheads exploded! They were severely penetrated by a crossbow arrow!
Before the two of them could say anything, their bodies softened and they fell down.
