Chapter 60 Kidnapping
When he heard Sithorn say "please help me", Envi decided to help.
Without any hesitation, he said the honorable name of the "Mist King" and the details of the ceremony, including the special essential oil. After explaining everything he knew, he also made his request and said:
"Mr. Sithorn, if you can complete the test and hope to convey my thoughts, just say that I am ready and tell any Lord Bai Ge."
Without asking why he didn't pray, Sithorn nodded sincerely, left his promise and disappeared into illusory light and shadow.
"I owe you a promise that will always be valid."
Watching Sithorne's clone disappear, Envi showed a reassuring smile.
Sharon told him that if he could contribute to the exploration of new areas in Misty City in the future, he would have the opportunity to choose an extraordinary path again. To this end, he learned a lot of targeted techniques and knowledge, and borrowed the skills of bounty hunters.
Identity practice.
Now, he can say with great confidence that he is ready.
It is normal for gods not to answer prayers.
Not praying to the "Bound God" does not mean you have changed your faith. This is something you were told clearly when you escaped from the Rose School.
"The gods are facing their own test. As the pillar of faith of the temperance sect, they must ensure the continuation of the fire of their own ideas. If necessary, they can ask for help from the "King of Mist", who is the ally of God."
When the carriage arrived at the Black Rose Mansion, Enwei landed silently, rolled away from the bottom of the carriage and hid in the garden on the side.
After making sure that there was no misunderstanding among the mansion guards, he poked his head out from behind the hedge trimmed into a low wall.
According to the information provided by the employer, today's gathering was escorted by official Beyonders.
This does not mean safety, it just means the danger is unavoidable.
He didn't know what the so-called reporting of security guards in advance was. Looking at the petite figure who was the first to step out of the carriage, Envi turned around and looked for a suitable observation location.
He was not the only one who accepted the commission this time, but also another friend whom he had just met.
Hugh Dilcha!
Even if they don't know the real purpose, they know that the trouble will not be small because their employer, a grain merchant, knows that there is danger and still comes to attend the ball held by the nobles.
Remuneration exceeding a thousand pounds is not that easy to get.
Only by cooperating internally and externally with Xio pretending to be the employer's daughter can they minimize the danger.
After all, the task is only to protect the safety of the employer, not to solve the problem.
But he squatted on a tree and watched his employer through the window. From noon until the sun set, until he almost fell asleep, nothing happened.
Obviously everything about this dance is strange:
For example, choose the time to start from lunch time;
Lasting for an extremely long time until dinner;
A strange mix of merchants and nobles participating at the same time;
Guests are still allowed to hire escorts if they have official Beyonder escorts...
Almost all the strange points were gathered together, except that the trouble that should have occurred did not appear.
Confronting Xiu with a code based on time changes, Enwei once again used his extraordinary sense of smell to confirm the surrounding situation. Although too much interfering information made him a little uncomfortable, he still accurately found those colleagues and the so-called official guards.
If there is a problem, it can only appear in these official escorts.
Because Enwei couldn't confirm that they were really official escorts.
As night fell, Enwei's strange feeling became even stronger after meeting Xio with the code again.
Driven by some uneasiness, he made a decision that went against industry rules.
Glancing at his employer who was still chatting animatedly in the room, Enwei climbed down from the tree with ease, using his extraordinary sense of smell to carefully identify the direction. Like a seasoned assassin, he felt a man wearing a dark red turban in the bushes in front of him.
Behind his colleagues, he directly launched a sneak attack.
Facing ordinary people who were just stronger, Enwei easily subdued them like catching chickens.
Covering his mouth with one hand, he took off the unfamiliar senior's coat with the other hand, and completed the task of binding his hands and feet with one hand.
After doing this, he approached the strange senior with a sarcastic look on his face, carefully calmed the other person's fear and said:
"Sorry, senior, I know it's wrong to interfere with your mission at will, but I have a question and want to confirm with you. Don't you think this mission is strange? No matter the party time, participants, or duration, nothing is right. I
I always feel that danger has appeared, do you feel this way?"
The senior colleague who was kidnapped by him was named Tyre.
Tyr Dempsey!
His status is slightly higher than that of Envi. He is a bounty hunter with regular clients. He can barely be regarded as a black glove for nobles.
He is not an extraordinary person, just an ordinary person whose skills are close to the limits of human beings.
Listening to Envy's idiotic speech, Tyr already knew that the person in front of him was the kind of guy with special powers. He tried his best not to show a sarcastic expression and simply shook his head to express his meaning.
Yes, bounty hunters like them just do things for money, and should stay away from things that are not related to the mission.
If everything is normal for the employer, the church and the police should be contacted.
Only when there are problems that cannot be brought to light will they choose bounty hunters who wander in the gray area to solve the problems. They will attack their colleagues because they are obsessed with such problems. Envi has been labeled as "idiot" by Tyr.
.
As long as he tells what happened today, this guy will never be a bounty hunter again.
Of course, this kind of revenge can only be hidden in the heart.
As an ordinary person who can survive in this circle for a long time, I still have this survival wisdom.
Extraordinaries, even the most incompetent "generalists" in Sequence 9, have overwhelming advantages against ordinary people. If you are not sure enough, try not to offend them.
After receiving the meaning in Tai's eyes, Enwei awkwardly let go of his hand covering the other person's mouth, and continued to ask with some reluctance:
"I'm serious. If you think about it more carefully, do you really not feel anything is wrong?"
After trying to untie his hands and feet to no avail, Tyer sighed helplessly, looked at Envi with a sincere face and said:
"This... friend, let me tell you straight, even a person with special abilities like you didn't find the problem, how could I, an ordinary person, find it? And, you really don't know what you are going to do at this party today.
?β
Envi, who was questioned, could only stay there and wait for Taier to explain further.
As his repeated hints to untie the restraints were ignored, Taier felt extremely unlucky and cursed silently. Holding back his temper, he deliberately lowered his voice and gave a reminder:
"The Corn Bill!"
Noticing that Envi still had a blank look on his face, Tyre was also stunned.
He never expected that a bounty hunter who had to do dirty work most of the time would accept this commission without understanding anything.
The issue of repealing the "Corn Act" has been quarreling among the upper echelons of Loen Kingdom for several years, and it was only this year that the voices gradually subsided. By this time, even people with no political sense should have noticed that something is wrong.
Passing this law can protect the interests of the people of Loen, but it will also harm the interests of the landed nobles.
The period between the change of trend from the top to the official announcement of the bill is left to these people to recover their losses. This is also a kind of exchange of interests. Just look at the members who participate in such gatherings, they are all old-school aristocrats who are proud to own land.
, and the big businessmen with interests in the Corn Bills, could determine where the trouble would come from.
Some people have heard the slightest bit of news, but are not qualified to sit at the table and share the cake.
Just like Thiel's employer, who holds a seat in the House of Commons, he is not trying to exchange benefits at all.
Considering the financial difficulties after the repeal of the Corn Laws, he simply wanted to find a wealthy widow to maintain a decent life for his nobles.
Seems like a waste of opportunity.
Obviously there are still so many people who will lose their lives because of lack of this opportunity.
But this is reality.
Tyr could not explain this to Envi, who had no sense of politics at all. He would suffer disaster if he spoke too much. He was still waiting to complete this commission and also become a person with special abilities.
Even if you have to work for the not-so-smart and stingy Viscount for a few years, it's still worth it.
For him, completing the task safely is more practical than anything else.
Indeed, those people would do anything to survive.
As long as it's not now, that's fine, right?
What happens next today, and what does it have to do with them?
With these complex thoughts alternating in his mind, Tyre couldn't restrain his sarcastic expression, shook his bound hands and feet, and shouted to Envi in ββan annoyed voice:
Chapter completed!
