Chapter 16: The Dark Guardian ~Ask for a Monthly Pass~)
There, dust was flying and war horses galloped.
A team of more than ten people is approaching quickly.
They wore uniforms similar to those of Taoer soldiers, but their weapons were not standard, but varied, including cold weapons and gunpowder weapons, and one or two of them even carried several different weapons.
But this does not mean that these people are a motley crew.
On the contrary, the aura of each of them was extremely powerful, giving Jason a slight sense of pressure, especially the one in the lead. When the other person glanced at him, the hair on Jason's back stood up.
"Hush!"
The leader reined in his horse.
The other party was a long-haired man in his thirties, with a very strong build. Viewed from the front, his shoulders were half wider than those of an ordinary person. His arms, in particular, looked tight even when he was wearing customized clothes.
The palm holding the reins was even thicker, and when placed on the neck of the war horse, it seemed that with just a slight squeeze, the horse would be crushed to death.
The other party looked at Jason and Peters with a scrutinizing look.
At this time, Jason had taken off his hockey mask, revealing a face that should have been childish but looked extremely mature.
After the other party glanced at Jason's face, he stared at Peters.
In particular, he paused for a moment on the dagger at Peters' waist.
"who are you?"
the other party asked.
"Traveler to the harbor of 'Hans', Your Excellency."
"I am a coachman and a bodyguard."
Peters answered, then showed his identity certificate and the certificate of "Delin Automobile Dealers", and then introduced Jason.
"This is the gentleman who hired me, Jason."
"He is an outstanding graduate of the Jaydanlon Gryphon Camp."
"Griffin camp?"
"Jason?"
The other party did not look at the identification certificate in Peters' hand, but looked at Jason in surprise, as if he was thinking about something. After about two or three seconds, the other party finally thought of a name.
"Dal!"
"You are a student of Daler!"
"He mentioned you to me and highly recommended you to me. I also saw your photos and transcripts."
After thinking of the name 'Dale', the unusually strong man in front of him smiled.
"Captain of Tower's 'Dark Watcher', Cronin."
The other party introduced himself, and then the captain, who called himself the 'Dark Watcher', asked directly: "Jason, can you tell me what happened to Tao'er?"
"Attack!"
"It should be the 'Revivalist' who attacked Tower!"
"They used unknown methods to put everyone in the city to sleep."
"Then, a wonderful melody appeared!"
At this time, Jason showed a flash of fear on his face just right.
He was like a young man who was just starting out and encountered unpredictable dangers, and then held on there.
"What next?"
Cronin continued to ask.
"Then, a curtain of light appeared, and a man playing the flute disappeared with everyone."
"But then, a giant appeared on the light screen. This giant waved his fist at someone unknown. I searched for it but couldn't find the target. I just heard bursts of murmuring in my ears."
"I want to hear clearly what it means, but the more I try to hear it, the more uncomfortable I feel. I still have a splitting headache. Even the person you mentioned, Daler, should be my teacher.
I don’t even remember.”
"Excuse me, what's wrong?"
After Jason finished speaking, he looked at Cronin anxiously.
"fine."
Cronin, who had been smiling just now, instantly became indifferent and said calmly. Then, without looking at Jason again, he shook the reins and the entire 'Dark Guardian' team set off again, rushing towards Tao'er.
.
Jason watched with astonishment as the 'Dark Keepers' disappeared.
After watching this group of 'Dark Guardians' enter Tower City, they returned to their usual expressionless appearance.
A simple test.
He would not believe that a so-called "Secret Keeper" captain who was 'easily led away' could be a kind elder.
That’s right!
Just lead away!
When they first entered Tower, the assassin of the "Revival Society" who suddenly appeared was not going to die!
If there were no subsequent events, Jason would consider it a 'performative' suicide.
But there is a follow-up?
That became the beginning of the event.
The assassin of the 'Revival Society' must have some secrets that could lure away the 'Defenders' guarding Tower City.
You don’t need them all!
Just a part is enough for the next plan of the revival meeting.
However, the people of the "Revival Society" did not expect that Cronin took away the entire "Dark Watcher" team.
Jason is very sure about this.
If some people were left behind, it would be impossible for the 'Revival Society' to quietly 'control' the entire Tao'er. With his senses, he would definitely be able to detect something strange.
But nothing appeared!
This is enough to show that the 'secret' is tempting and dangerous enough.
It was so tempting that Cronin risked everything.
It was so dangerous that Cronin had to wear all his hands just in case.
certainly!
It is also possible that Cronin brought everyone with him in order to keep the secret.
But no matter what it is, Cronin is trying to get nothing out of a bamboo basket.
Not only will I get nothing, I'm afraid I'll also face pressure from Goersei.
However, this has nothing to do with him.
He is just a traveler going to 'visit relatives'.
Will not take the initiative to do anything excessive.
If Cronin really wanted to do something to him...
He doesn't mind 'sugaring' again.
call!
Peters, who was standing aside, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Jason's face returned to normal.
He was really worried that Jason would admit that he was a student of the so-called 'Dale'.
Once you really admit it, a fight to the death is inevitable.
‘Bonebreaker’ Cronin is not a kind-hearted person.
In fact, even if the other party becomes a member of the 'Dark Guardians', they will be the most infamous.
"Mr. Jason."
"I think we need to talk."
Peters took the initiative to speak.
Some things can no longer be concealed now.
As a concealer, he would not wait until Jason took the initiative to ask.
That would cost him the last bit of his dignity.
However, Jason shook his head slightly.
"Let's get out of here first."
Jason said.
The appearance of the 'Dark Watchers' led by Cronin made Jason increasingly wary.
It's not just about being wary of Cronin.
besides……
‘Revival Meeting’!
What if he was the organizer of the "Revival Society" and after achieving success in the first phase of the plan, would he easily let go of the returning "Secret Keepers"?
The answer is yes.
With the style shown by the "Revival Association", the "secret defenders" will definitely be killed.
That,
What will you do?
Jason sat in the carriage, and the carriage started again, thinking seriously.
For him, explosives are the most direct method.
But the "Revival Society" was extremely repulsive to gunpowder.
