Partridges are quite common in the southern part of Feinan Continent, especially residents in the Helga Mountain-Big Pudding City area. They can always hear partridges in the bushes on summer nights, so the guards heard Dulan's call.
The sound of partridges is not surprising either.
When Duran was working at Bergen Manor, he once learned the Partridge language from Chloe. This young girl herself is a psychic - this strange profession is not common on the Feinan continent, and
It usually appears among ancient druids, and it is difficult for ordinary humans to have such a talent.
Psychics are born with the ability to communicate with various animals. Unlike druids, rangers, and hunters who rely on acquired training to live in harmony with animals, all abilities of psychics are born with them.
As far as Duran knows, Chloe can communicate with three kinds of animals, namely pythons, partridges and wetland blue-tailed scorpions, and using partridge sounds to convey some simple meanings is a covert and
effective way.
There is a tall cypress tree on the west wall of Bergen Manor. The cypress tree is planted outside the wall, but in summer there are always many branches deep into the wall. From the surface, Duran can definitely climb the cypress tree and enter
In Bergen Manor.
But Duran clearly remembered that behind this cypress tree were some of Andrew's most loyal hounds. If he entered rashly, he would be discovered by the hounds and quickly torn into pieces. There was no one in the entire Bergen Manor who could order these hounds to quiet down.
, apart from Andrew, there is only Chloe.
As a psychic, all animals have an innate affinity for her, and even if they cannot fully communicate, they can at least be somewhat comforted.
Dulan climbed up the tall cypress tree. His weight was so light that even the smallest branches could bear his weight.
Standing on the branches of the cypress tree, Duran could have a panoramic view of the west side of the manor. The hounds barked uneasily in the darkness, seeming to be aware of Duran's presence. This made Duran secretly glad that he had not taken the risk.
Rushing in recklessly.
Time passed minute by minute, and about half an hour later, a dog barked suddenly.
Dulan's spirit was shaken. He could vaguely see a figure running toward him holding a skirt.
"It's Chloe."
"Shh, Little Toe, and Taj, it's me, please be gentle..." Chloe whispered to soothe the two hounds named Little Toe and Taj, and then tiptoed to the wall.
.
"Dulan, is that you?"
Chloe whispered to the shadow of the cypress tree on the wall and shouted: "I heard that you stole my uncle's primary bottle of eternity. What gave you such courage?"
Du Lan opened the branches and leaves in front of him, revealing his young and immature face: "Hello, Miss Chloe, I don't think you will lose your temper with me because of this?"
Seeing that Duran was indeed hiding in the cypress tree, Chloe couldn't help but smile softly: "You have learned partridge language well, and your courage has become much stronger. Isn't your performance in the manor all fake?
Bar?"
Dulan smiled bitterly and said: "I almost died several times. If all of this was acting, then my acting skills and luck should be rated 99 points."
Chloe put away her smiling expression, then looked around warily, and said quickly: "Then why did you come to me? I have already learned from my dear uncle that you should be in black.
A member of the crowd, right?"
"Not yet," Dulan corrected her, "Wait a minute, you learned from your uncle... Could it be that he is still safe and sound tonight?"
"When I saw him at least twenty minutes ago, he just looked a little worse." Chloe said calmly: "I just found out some news, which is a bit unfavorable to you... Earlier tonight,
Some people indeed attempted to assassinate my uncle, but unfortunately they failed."
"Failed!?" Dulan felt cold. He stole the bottle of eternity. How could the plan that the teacher and others had planned for a long time fail!?
"Don't you people in black think that a dragon mage with golden power and a knight of the Burning Blood Oath Legion would die in a lame assassination? I heard that there were three people in the sneak attack. The golden power
Assassin, there is also a warlock and another assassin, all of whom only have silver power. On other nights, such a lineup may indeed ruin Andrew's life... But unfortunately, tonight there is a member of the Burning Blood Oath Legion.
The knight came to visit secretly, so your failure becomes logical." Chloe sighed with a hint of regret: "It would be great if you succeeded...Since my aunt passed away, my situation has become more and more dangerous. Maybe after
I'll have to think of a way to escape from here in a few days."
"Teacher's assassination failed? How come there are knights of the Burning Blood Oath Legion in Bergen Manor!?" Duran held the branch tightly, and his violent mood swings only lasted for a second, and then became extremely calm.
: "What happened to those assassins?"
As a gold-level mage, Andrew and Teacher Dulan, as a gold assassin, should be sure to assassinate him. But with the addition of a Knight of the Burning Blood Oath Legion, the situation will be very different. The Burning Blood Oath Legion is
The powerful troops stationed in the north of the empire, and the knights within the legion have all been baptized by the purest dragon blood contract, and are far more powerful than masters of the same level.
Bergen Manor has never had much contact with the northern dragon nobles, and Duran never expected that such a change would occur.
"What can we do if we know their fate? Dulan, your actions tonight have impressed me, but I still want to advise you to leave this place as soon as possible. The men in black have been active in the south for too long, and the high-level officials of the empire have been secretly watching. Your
The situation will become more and more dangerous day by day..." Chloe tugged on her skirt and said sternly: "The people in black can't be the empire's opponents. Since the gods no longer favor Feinan Continent, the twelve evil dragons will
The world is invincible, and your efforts will eventually turn into broken empty dreams."
"Miss Chloe, thank you for your kindness." Duran looked at him intently. Chloe under the wall had no idea that the boy on the cypress tree contained a noble soul from another world. He said
: "How about we make a bet."
"Bet?" Chloe was a little surprised. She once thought she understood the young man in front of her very well, but tonight he seemed to be a little different.
The dream, passion and persistence of young people are still there, but there seems to be something more.
Chloe curiously looked at Duran who was hidden in the cypress branches. His dark eyes were like black pearls that could not erase the brilliance at night. At this moment, Chloe suddenly understood that there was something more about Duran.
What.
This kind of thing is called confidence.
Chloe smiled and said: "Okay Duran, you can try to explain it first."
Duran said quickly: "Within half a month, I will definitely cut off Andrew's head with my own hands. Do you believe it?"
Chloe was stunned for a moment and shook her head decisively: "I don't believe it."
Dulan smiled slightly: "Look, this is our bet. If I win, please come with me, I need your help; if I fail in the assassination and die in Andrew's hands, you will forgive the poor
Dulan must have broken his promise..."
Chloe listened quietly, becoming more and more curious about where the young man in front of her gained his confidence. After listening to Duran's statement, she thought for a while and said:
"This bet is unfair, but I still accepted it. The three people you are looking for have been taken away by the knight of the Burning Blood Oath Legion. It is said that he tied the three people and loaded them into a carriage.
Driven by an experienced driver, they will leave Baisha Town overnight and rush to Big Pudding City. If you guys in black want to rescue the three of them, the best time is on the road. Once you enter Big Pudding City, you will have no chance.
.”
"Is he a master of golden power?" Duran listened carefully and asked, "How long ago did he set out?"
Chloe shrugged: "About an hour before I came back, they took the official route."
"Thank you, Miss Chloe." Dulan gradually had a rough plan in his mind.
Chloe smiled sweetly: "If you can really cut off my damn uncle's head, I will consider joining the men in black. Believe me, my talent is very useful."
Duran nodded. After the two said goodbye, he no longer stayed near Bergen Manor and climbed up to the western foot of Mount Helga again following the night.
There should be no problem with Chloe's news. The teacher and others failed to assassinate Andrew and were escorted to Big Pudding City by the knights of the Burning Blood Oath. This result made Duran feel very troubled, but he was not completely helpless.
The most regrettable thing is that Dulan is not yet a member of the black people. He does not know the contact method of the black people, so he can only rush to complete the rescue before the knight escorts the teacher to the Big Pudding City. If it were the young man from before, I am afraid that
This is almost an impossible task. After all, he doesn't even have gray iron power now, and ten level 7 assassin apprentices can't defeat a gold power master.
But Duran is different. He knows countless important information in the Underworld and knows Mount Helga well.
When he closed his eyes, the topographic map of the west side of Mount Helga would appear in his mind——
Baisha Town is located at the foot of the western foothills of Mount Helga. From a topographic point of view, this area should be a small basin. The official road goes around the western foothills of Mount Helga. It first walks to the west for a long time, then turns to the north and bypasses the west mountain.
Pass, so that we can reach the Big Pudding City.
But Dulan knew that there was a shortcut that could cross the western foothills of Helga Mountain and reach the Western Pass before the Knight of the Burning Blood Oath and the carriage carrying the teacher. This mountain road was called "Withering" by the residents of Baisha Town.
"Trail", many people say that this mountain road is full of dangers, not only guarded by devils, but also countless monsters.
Only Duran knows that there are only two dangerous places on this withered path. One is Ogre Canyon, a level 20 copy in the game; the other is called Flame Lair, which is the refresh point of the monster Flame Lizard.
Flame lizards are good at hiding and are very aggressive, and ogres are not easy to mess with. For ordinary people to pass through this withering path safely, they need at least five silver power masters to form a team.
But in order to rescue the teacher and two other men in black, Dulan had no choice.
