The bloody smell of rust accompanied by the indifferent wind gently lifted the tips of Lehman's hair, playfully stroking his frown, and accelerated his increasingly chaotic heartbeat. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, but
It was buried in my heart and disappeared quickly without any deliberate suppression.
Lehman didn't pay too much attention to this spiritual episode. After all, it would be abnormal for a child's body and mind to face death and killing for the first time and not react at all calmly. What concerned him was this attack and Pask.
attitude.
Although when facing Thiessen in the orphanage, he understood the pressure of the common second-level chosen ones in the academy, when they actually stood on opposite sides and became enemies, Pask made a decision without any hesitation and still gave Leman enough
Huge impact.
Pask, who wears a golden name tag and obviously has a high status in the organization, would also make such a choice.
But it is precisely because of this that the current attack seems strange.
Even if the other party obtains the exact time of Thyssen's departure through some means, the benefits and risks of this approach are still unequal. It is very unreasonable for the orphanage to call a second-level solution.
In addition to exposing the hidden cards in your hand, such a crude method may even lead to counterattack within the organization, leading to the death of the second level. After all, there will be members like Clay on guard in orphanages outside the city, let alone inside the city. This is why Lehman is certain that a rescue team will arrive soon.
As if to confirm his conjecture at the moment, it didn't take long for a gust of wind to pass through his body and sweep through the surrounding woods along with some water dew. He could feel the deliberate elemental structure in it.
This is the wind domain mixed with the [water] element.
Fragmented footsteps crushed the monotonous chirping of birds, and soon two figures broke the brief tranquility and came to their side.
"Sure enough, here... Luo, go see if Pask and the others are still alive?"
As the words fell, the muddy footsteps gradually approached Lehman, and the shadow blocked the light of the morning sun. His cold fingertips gently touched Lehman's breath, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"They're all alive, Redrosa."
"Well...."
Redrosa did not look in the direction of Luo, but looked at the traces left by the surrounding battles. There were almost no traces of fighting, and the surrounding trees were almost intact. I am afraid that all battles would have been won almost instantly.
Negative, but if so...
Why did they faint here? Redrosa felt a subtle sense of disobedience but couldn't find the reason. He just looked at the person who fell by the tree without fatal injuries and asked as he approached
"Where's the injury?"
"Just... just comatose."
Luo frowned and said in confusion, and Redrosa was slightly stunned after hearing the conclusion. He let go of the body in his hands and supported the ground with one hand.
The [Earth] element also began to flow continuously, climbing up the bodies of the corpses, grabbing the corners of their clothes, tying their necks, interlocking with their fingers, and gently sinking into the soil with traces of life, buried in the earth.
.
"There is something wrong with what happened here. Have their identities been confirmed?"
Luo carried Lehman on his back and used the [Wind] element to lift Pascal and looked at the sinking corpse in front of him and asked, while Redrosa slowly stood up and pointed at the corpse lying in the middle.
"Except for that, the remaining three should be killers from the Long Sword Club. They are used to three people fighting together, and their weapons are all very different, tasteless long swords with white handles."
After saying that, he picked up Pask from the wind and put him on his shoulders. He turned around and was about to run towards the city, but Luo grabbed his shoulder.
Luo: "Why don't you inform the orphanage first??"
Redrosa: "No, my information is wrong. I'm afraid higher-level personnel are involved in the battle here. Now that the situation is unclear, it is very dangerous to go to the orphanage. We must first find out the identity of the fourth person before making any plans.
."
Luo: "But..."
Redrosa frowned slightly, pulled away Lord's hand and said calmly
"That's not our home. It's enough for us to save Pask and the others, or do you still want me to order you to leave?"
After saying that, he rushed towards the city without looking back, and after a brief pause, Luo loosened his clenched fists and followed Redrosa.
.............
In the early morning, the city gate of Jiulun District did not appear pure and white under the rising sun, but was covered with a thin layer of black, the suffering of being wrapped in exhaust gas all year round.
In the rising light, there were not many people on the street. The only ones that stood out were two lazily guarded guards who had been guarding the door all night, waiting for the changing of the guard.
He used the city wall to quench the cigarette in his hand and threw it away. He glanced at his companions who were also doing nothing next to him. He pulled out the cold saber from his waist with a greedy smile and looked at the direction Redrosa and Luo were walking in. He said fiercely.
said
"Hey, what's going on with those two people over there!"
After saying that, they gathered around and blocked the way of the two of them.
Redrosa and the others did not hide the person they were carrying, they just said with a wry smile
"They are adventurers. They got lost in the forest last night. We just picked them up now. These two road warriors are really stupid."
The guard sighed impatiently, leaned forward and was about to say something, but at this moment Redrosa took his hand.
"I'm really sorry to bother you."
The guard pulled away his palm, looked at the one hundred luka in his hand, stepped out of the way and ignored them, lazily returned to his post and talked about where to go tomorrow night.
Without stopping, Redrosa and Luo walked straight through the city gate, crossed the long street, turned the corner, ignored the hungover people on the corner, walked into an unknown tavern, walked through the hall and walked directly down the stairs to the underground.
.
A tall, strong man looked at the two returning men, lowered his head slightly and opened the door behind him.
The sporadic sounds of swaying sieves and poker cards were being dealt, as the turbid air rushed toward Redrosa, but he didn't care at all and just led Luo quickly through the casino and into the deep bedroom.
Put Pascal and Lehman smoothly on the bed, and the warmth after lighting the fire nearby makes you want to sleep forever.
Luo's silence was finally melted by the warmth. He looked at Redrosa's figure, took out a piece of dry bread from his pocket and handed him a piece of hard bread and said
"I'm sorry just now, Uncle Redrosa."
Redrosa's hand wearing the top hat froze for a moment, then he lowered the brim of his hat slightly, took a deep breath, took the bread handed to him from behind, and tapped it twice on his hand.
"Can't you pick one that's not so tough? This is enough to take over, or is this another kind of rebellion?"
The understatement left Luo, who looked serious, at a loss as to what to do. He was a little flustered and wanted to get the bread back.
But Redrosa had already put the bread into his pocket, and without giving her a chance to react, he turned around, walked to the room, opened the door again, paused and said
"I'm not angry with you, Luo, have a good rest, you may be very busy next time."
After saying that, he closed the door and walked towards the back door at the other end of the casino, laughing at himself helplessly
"My uncle softened his heart with just one sentence, and it was easy for me to deal with it..."
