The fifth day of the Night Moon is the fifteenth day since the "Jackdaw City Incident" broke out. The weather has already turned cooler, the original moist air has been replaced by cold rain, and the clouds in the sky seem to compress the entire world smaller and smaller. Vulture Castle is one of the four main cities of the Pawa Federation. Due to its natural geographical advantages, its prosperity is second only to the royal city, Jackdaw City.
As a transit point between Eagle Claw Harbor and Jackdaw City, Vulture Castle is not only the most liberal town, but precisely because of its noisy and chaotic characteristics, it has also become a paradise for criminals.
This is a team of four. On the surface, they all wear black robes, and they seem to be just a small mercenary group. But if you look closely, you will definitely regard them as a funeral team of a small family.
I saw ten little boys with gray curly hair walking in the front, their left eyes were wrapped in cloth strips, and they seemed to be blind. The ten beautiful women in the middle, about thirty-four or five-year-old, had a proud temperament, kind and
Repelling people's gaze from thousands of miles away. The last man is probably no more than a servant. This one-armed man is using his only remaining right arm to carry a half-finished coffin, which seems to contain a corpse.
"We should be arriving at Vulture Castle in a few hours. Hastur puts away his weapons. From now on, you are just my brother, a child from an ordinary merchant family, from Cisse Highgarden."
"Perseus, take Rikka out of the coffin. It will be hard not to attract the attention of interested people. You are my servant, and Rikka is a little noble girl suffering from drowsiness."
"Let's go, we are in urgent need of a place to stay. On the one hand, it is to give Liuhua a stable rest environment. On the other hand, we need to find out the news in Jackdaw City. I don't know where Boom and Gloria are now.
..."
Although Boom is the leader of the group, it is undeniable that Christine is the one who makes all major decisions. This is because she is far more rational than her companions. She has the ability to make decisions no matter what the situation.
Choose the most beneficial wisdom.
Therefore, after learning that Boom Gloria was captured alive, Christine decided to escape from the Jackdaw City Control Area overnight, and finally chose the troubled town of Vulture Castle.
She knew the causes and consequences of the fusion of Boom and Rikka's souls, so although Rikka was still alive, she was still unconscious. This also cast a haze on Christine's mind. In other words, she guessed that Boom was still alive.
The situation was far more severe than she imagined, and she was even on the verge of death, otherwise Rikka would never have been in a coma for nearly half a month without waking up.
But her reason reminds her all the time that she still has companions who need to be protected, whether it is the lost Perseus, the taciturn Hastur who blames himself, or even Gloria, whose life or death is uncertain.
This reminded her of her former servant, who took her away from the Shimmering Forest and died without letting a drop of dirty blood stain her baby clothes.
There was no response. Hastur just nodded, then put the Chaos Poison Ivy (bow and arrow) into the storage bag, and spread out the Marauder's Map again. Perseus carefully held the unconscious Rikka in his arms, although
There is only one arm, but it looks extremely firm.
Kristine didn't say anything after seeing this. As long as she stopped clamoring to go to Jackdaw City for revenge, and as long as everything went according to plan, she didn't have too many demands.
Perhaps because of its proximity to Eagle Claw Port, the permanent population in Vulture Castle is much larger than that in Jackdaw City, and the vast majority of them are naturally caravans from all over the world, or free mercenaries on the run. If the ancient continent is regarded by many scholars as the purest white, then all the corresponding foreign races should be classified as black. This theory has no basis and is simply the disguised spiritual rule of the Principality of Moronil (the Principality of Scholars)
, to criticize the old gods and spread the most selfless love of the "gods".
But what is recognized by the entire world is the mystery and high-pressure jurisdiction of the Pava Federation. In the eyes of the world, the Pava Federation is a vast expanse of gray, so gray that it is so gray that it is difficult to breathe.
Vulture Castle became a bright spot in this gray, but hidden under the prosperity was the exchange of gold coins and goods. The drifting mast ships in Eagle Claw Port brought wealth, but they also
At the same time, countless illusions were shattered, and it turned out that the outside world was more cruel and far less beautiful than imagined.
The world kissed me with pain, but I responded with songs. Perhaps this sentence is the truest portrayal of many people in the Pawa Federation. They are like eagles nesting in their nests all day long, thinking wildly, but they have no courage.
Really board a mast ship leaving Eagle Claw Port and go to the outside world.
"Sister, how should we deal with this thief?" A few hours later, a group of four people finally stepped into the Vulture Castle. However, what greeted them was not the novelty of a strange place, nor was it the pursuer who had already secretly set up an ambush in Jackdaw City.
But a little thief who reached out to Christine.
And the reason why Hastur asked was not to kill him directly. It was just because although Christine was a peak powerhouse, she would not take away anyone's life casually, even if it was a little thief. p>
"Kill him. You need to make your own judgment on these matters from now on." However, Christine was too lazy to take a look at the little thief and directly ordered Hastur to kill him.
Today is different from the past. Among the six people in our party, two are currently imprisoned in Jackdaw City. One is still unconscious, and the condition of the other two is not much better.
Therefore, although Christine is still as calm and calm as before, she can no longer waste her energy on these trivial matters.
The noise in Vulture Castle is still as usual, and the delicious and tempting aroma of food is diffused in the air. The remote courtyard door slowly opens, but this time there is no laughter and laughter from the companions, only the cold dew hanging on the tiles, the green
Moss covers the wall.
The candlelight was lit, although it was less than one ten thousandth of that of Vulture Castle, but it still maintained the residual warmth of hope. The familiar coffee entered her throat, and Christine walked to Rikka's side and began to wipe her body. p>
Perseus is still accustomed to sitting by the fireplace, but this sculpture now seems difficult to hold his breath and concentrate, and the remaining right arm is slightly shaking under the black robe.
Hastur guarded the courtyard gate alone, and the Chaos Poison Ivy (bow and arrow) glowed in the moonlight. But there were no more soul butterflies flying in the sky, because the mother insect was still in a depressed state and needed time to recover.
"Rikka, can you hear my sister's voice? If possible, you should wake up as soon as possible. Without those delicious vegetable porridge, my sister has lost a lot of weight now."
"But if you feel tired, then Rikka should continue to rest. Don't worry, as long as I am still alive, there is no chance of Rikka getting hurt."
"Although I don't know if you can hear me, my sister will still take the time to tell you about the current situation of my companions every day. Wake up quickly, otherwise my sister may disappear one day."
After saying this, Christine stuffed a herbal pill into Liuhua's mouth. This was the rarest herbal pill in her pregnancy jar, but it was also the most powerful, at least ensuring that the user's body would be filled with magic power.
After finishing everything, Christine did not look through her ancient books, or this habit had been put aside for half a month. The quill was full of ink, but there was nothing on the map of the Pava Federation. It seemed that
