Chapter 17 Renekton's Mission
Teleportation in the void, the stars move.
This time, when he went to the main city of Acasia, Xiao Ting was not alone, and there was also the bearded man, the veteran of the Ascension Team, his senior brother Izen and his maid Andrea.
Because the teleportation array is opened once, the energy consumed by teleporting one person is the same as the energy consumed by teleporting four people.
The bearded man and Izen were sent by Nathers. After all, Ekasia was a place where rebels were occupied by the empire and had never been peaceful.
Moreover, in recent years, rebellions have become increasingly fierce.
As for Andrea...
Xiao Ting took her back to her hometown to see her and pay tribute to her parents, which fulfilled her wish.
"The atmosphere is a little wrong."
After walking out of the teleportation hall in the middle of the city, Izen found that the streets were full of soldiers patrolling or rushing.
There were traces of battle and blood on the ground and surrounding buildings that had not been cleared.
The civil servant of the Imperial Army who was responsible for receiving them explained with a calm face: "Last night, a rebel army launched a riot in the city and attacked government departments everywhere. More than a dozen imperial officials were assassinated overnight, and more than 100 civilians were affected. General Rekton was furious and ordered the garrison to search the whole city. He found that the rebels would be killed on the spot as long as they dared to resist!"
After hearing this, Xiao Ting looked at Andrea beside him and was speechless for a moment.
The grudge between Shurima and Akasia has been accumulated for hundreds of years and it has been three days and three nights.
No one can tell who is justice and who is evil.
After they were called, the most hurt was always the ordinary people.
In the original plot, the deviled rebels even used magical tools to open the void crack that was originally sealed underground, causing the evil void power to explode, destroying the entire Akasia and becoming a forbidden place where no one can live.
...
As the supreme commander of the Imperial Ekasia Front, Recton was located in the lord's mansion not far from the Teleportation Hall.
After the group entered, the bearded man and Andrea were temporarily waiting in the hall, while Xiao Ting and Izen went to see Rekton.
At this time, Rekton had not yet experienced the ascension ceremony, so he was not a crocodile ascenator, but a burly man with bronze skin.
"I already know what you are here."
Rekton sat on a high chair symbolizing the throne of the city lord, gently lowered the letter from Nathus in his hand, and then looked at Xiao Ting with an expressionless face:
"Realistically speaking, you are the most optimistic student of your brother. If you want to learn to rush forward, I should teach you directly. But I am the general of the Empire, and you are also a soldier of the Ascension Legion. The rules of the army are to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments and not raise waste. I will give you a task. You need to complete it and prove your ability to get the secret of combat skills."
"Please tell us the specific content of the mission!"
Rekton, who is famous for his irritable temper and bloodthirsty, is indeed not that easy to talk to. Fortunately, Xiao Ting was prepared and never thought of having sex for free at the beginning.
A golden diamond crystal was taken out from the drawer of Rekton and placed it on the table: "There is a huge and complex underground sewage pipe network underground in the main city of Ekasia, which is the darkest side of the city. Not only are there gangsters and fugitives, but also rebels hidden inside!
I sent people to clean up three times, but every time the army left, these mice rekindled underground, and were very annoyed.
I need someone to sneak in and help me figure out the situation in the underground world, for example, there are a total of several forces entrenched, who are the leaders, and where are they hiding..."
"What level is the highest strength in the underground world?" Xiao Ting asked for a moment of pondering.
What he was afraid of was that there were extremely powerful people in the underground world, so he would directly use a dimensionality reduction attack.
Rekton smiled coldly: "Everyone hides in the dirty and smelly sewer like mice. How many of them have great skills?"
In the current rune world, the strong still have self-esteem and shame. If there is a little other way, they will not live in the sewage and dung pile.
"General, Xiao Gang came from the imperial capital and was completely unfamiliar with the city of Ekasia. He was not suitable for such a task, right?" Izen couldn't help but speak.
He saw the trouble and danger in this mission, and did not want Xiao Ting to fall into it.
Rekton said lightly: "It is because of strangeness that suits you. If you don't know Ekasia, no one knows you, so the probability of you being discovered is even smaller."
"Okay, I'll accept this task!"
In order to "rush around", Xiao Ting had no choice but to accept it.
Of course, the most important thing is that even if the task is not completed, there will be no punishment. At most, it will only waste some time.
"Catch it! If you are in danger of life, crush it, and the masters of the empire will immediately go in and find you."
Rekton bounced up the crystal on the table and flew forward, finally landing in Xiao Ting's hands.
"Thank you, General!"
Just as Xiao Ting and Izen were about to say goodbye, Rekton suddenly asked in a deep voice: "How is your teacher's health?"
He and Nathers are brothers, and they have not become enemies because of some things later. Now they are naturally very concerned about Nathers' health.
"The teacher's illness is a little bit worse than before, but he is not in danger of life yet." Izen replied with the initiative.
Rekton frowned when he heard this, but did not continue the topic. He just waved his hand to Xiao Ting: "Go, I'll wait for your good news."
...
As soon as I left Rekton's office, Izzan showed anxiety.
"The previous three encirclements of the army failed, which shows that the underground world is very complicated. What do you think?"
Xiao Ting pondered: "Let's take one step at a time and act according to the opportunity."
In fact, Xiao Ting had a vague plan in his mind, but whether it could be implemented was the key point of Andrea.
After returning to the hall and the bearded man and Andrea met, Xiao Ting and others moved into a separate two-story building not far from the city lord's mansion.
This is the residence arranged by the city lord's office officials for them in the city.
There are seven or eight bedrooms in the second floor of brick and stone. Opposite the double bed in the master bedroom on the second floor, there is an exquisite fitting mirror.
At this time, Xiao Ting was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, wearing only silk underwear.
Andrea was putting a set of heavy armor on him, and there was a helmet, armor group, leggings, and combat boots hanging on the clothes hanger next to him...
This set of armor is different from the shiny Ascension Legion armor in the past, but is an old set of armor with marks of swords on the surface, and the traces of battle are very obvious.
"Do you still speak the Ekasia dialect?"
Xiao Ting first wore a pair of silk gloves that were completely fitted with his fingers, and then began to wear metal gloves woven from alloy wire, and suddenly asked.
"meeting."
Andrea nodded and smiled, "My memory has always been very good, and I will never forget what I have learned."
"Then...what would you think if I asked you to help me fight the Akasia rebels?"
As long as Xiao Ting gave an order, Andrea, who was bound by the slave contract, could not refuse, but Xiao Ting still wanted to know her true thoughts.
"Of course it's helping you."
Andrea didn't hesitate for a second, with a smile on her face: "I left Acasia when I was less than seven years old, and there were no relatives here. The only thing I care about in this world is Master."
"But this place was your hometown after all..."
"Is that true? Then when I leave, I will give incense sticks to the dead people in my hometown."
Xiao Ting: “…”
"Owner."
Andrea squatted in front of Xiao Ting and helped him put on the combat boots made of metal: "Slaves are not worthy of owning their hometown. A good master is her greatest luck, and everything about her!"
Xiao Ting helped Andrea up and gave her a gentle hug.
By the time they finished dressing and went downstairs, the bearded man and Izen were already fully armed.
Chapter completed!
