Chapter 30: The Peak of the Canyon
In the dense forest not far away, Cyril found Karl who was waiting for her.
When she was still some way away from Karl, Cyril said hello first:
"Karl, it looks like things are going well for you?"
After Ceryl spoke, Karl, who was still deep in thought, looked up and found Ceryl walking towards him.
"It went smoothly, to be precise, it went smoothly."
Walking in front of Ceryl in two steps, Karl was still wondering if there was something wrong with his body.
Recalling the previous experience in London, no matter which battle it was, it was not as easy and simple as today. After all, he wanted to assassinate a general, so Karl originally made very bad plans for tonight's mission, but now it's useless.
superior.
He was almost dealing with a group of babies who had not yet learned to walk. The other party did not pose a threat to him at all, and he did not even lose a hair. However, he took the lives of everyone very easily.
This feeling of disparity was so strong that he didn't even come back to his senses now.
Seeing Karl's weird look on his face, Cyril walked up to him and said:
"Actually, I had expected what happened tonight. This result is not surprising at all."
"You have to know that your physique allows you to use the talisman perfectly, not to mention that it is a top-quality product made by me. It is completely understandable that you have such strong combat power."
Indeed, with Karl's universal plug-like physique, whether it is the use of artifacts or learning the knowledge in the magic book, it is basically a cheating level performance. Now he can use a second-level talisman and a first-level talisman in his body.
With perfect use, it is understandable that he is stronger than these enemies.
"And," watching Karl start to think, Cyril continued to add: "You have to know that London is the capital, and it is the capital of the most powerful country in the world!"
"The people responsible for these things there are basically the most powerful extraordinary beings in the entire country, and even the world. There is no comparison with this wild way."
"Besides, you were dealing with the Eidolon Lord who was also unreasonably strong, so you should have some confidence, Karl."
"You are already strong."
Cyril finished her opinion in one breath, and then she wanted to pat Karl on the shoulder. But when she stretched out her hand, she realized that it was difficult to pat Karl on the shoulder with her height, so she changed her goal midway.
back.
Karl, who was thinking about it, didn't pay attention to such small details. He was still thinking about what Seryl just said.
If you think about it carefully, the extraordinary beings you met in London, whether they were enemies or companions, were basically not simple characters. Except for the judges in the system, even the sacrifices of the Eidolon Lord were guided by magic books.
So these are basically guys who have a clear path on this mysterious path.
On the other hand, the three extraordinary beings he met tonight, let alone the guy who controlled the servants, the two guys who went to explore the camp were dealt with by him almost unprepared, and they were replaced by those well-trained judges in London.
You won't make this mistake.
After figuring out this link, Karl no longer wanted to dwell on this issue. He casually rubbed Ceryl's head and said:
"I have already dealt with the man named Joubert, and confirmed the body with my own hands. Send the signal."
"OK."
Hearing Karl's words, Cyril nodded and immediately took out a large firework from her body!
That's right, it's a firework.
This is the communication method they had discussed with Lieutenant General George in Ladysmith. If they succeed tonight, they will light this firework nearby as a reminder.
Karl originally thought there would be a signal flare or something as a reminder, but he didn't expect that the lieutenant general actually asked someone to bring two fireworks, which were used as signals of success and failure respectively.
In this era without mobile phones, I have to say that this is quite down-to-earth.
So the two people found an open space that was not blocked by trees, set off the fireworks and lit them immediately. With a "swish" sound, an orange-red firework exploded from high in the sky.
At the same time, Lieutenant General George, who was stationed in Ladysmith, saw the signal from his window.
He had been anxiously waiting for news from Karl and the others all night. When the fireworks that now meant the assassination was successful rose in the distance, the lieutenant general who had just suffered a defeat finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come here, send a letter to the Commander-in-Chief." He called his subordinates casually, and Lieutenant General George ordered: "The actions of those three tonight were very successful. It seems that we are safe here now..."
After giving instructions on the communication content, Lieutenant General George took one last look at the faintly red night sky in the distance, and then hurried downstairs to find his staff to prepare a new battle plan. After all, the enemy was now a headless fly without a brain.
, this requires careful planning.
On the other side, Carl and the others immediately left the place after setting off the fireworks and began to head to the previously agreed-upon Nicholson Canyon, where they had to meet Herbert before the appointed time.
Now the darkness of the night could not stop their progress at all, and the two people quickly left the area where the Boers were stationed.
After the two people traveled all night, at noon the next day, when the sun was directly north above their heads, they finally arrived at the top of Nicholson Canyon.
There was no one around at this moment. Karl and Ceryl were standing on top of the canyon, with a deep cliff at their feet.
Looking at Cyril who was standing with him, Karl asked: "When do you think Mr. Herbert will arrive?"
"Hmm..." After hearing Karl's question, Cyril lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then said: "Look, that guy's talisman is not a speed-enhancing type. It should be slower than ours. There are probably 3 to 5 more.
Hours."
"In this case we still have a lot of time."
Karl was relatively reassured by Cyril's estimate, so after confirming the time, he sat on the edge of the cliff and began to look at the scenery in the distance.
Looking around, there is a magnificent natural landscape. The vastness of the African land is vividly presented in front of Karl's eyes. The canyon under his feet has experienced a war not long ago, and the traces left by the battle that day can still be seen. This
This sharp contrast also gives people a different visual experience.
