Chapter five hundred and eighty eighth interception
"A glass of ale."
After sitting down on the high stool, Gao Jing took out a shell coin and placed it on the bar, and said to the bartender: "Add two pieces of dried meat."
This Warhammer Tavern is located next to the Third Wizard Tower, where Gao Jing can clearly sense the presence of the Spirit Thorn through the Nine Wings, and then locate the target.
Since he couldn't directly invade the wizard tower, this was his last resort.
The target may change into other clothes, the spiritual thorn attached to it may fall off, and the ancient scroll is more likely to be stored in the wizard tower.
Then it would be difficult for Gao Jing to get the Elder Scroll.
It just depends on luck.
But so far, his luck is not too bad, because the target he sensed is moving in a small area.
This shows that the other party has not changed his robes, but the spiritual thorn is still there.
The bartender quickly brought ale and dried meat.
Gao Jing slowly tasted the ale while listening to the conversations of the drinkers in the tavern.
In any city in the wilderness, taverns are a good place to gather information.
The drinkers here are a mixed bag, wizards and warriors abound, and there are countless mercenary adventurers, bandits, and criminals. When their ears are full of wine, they all talk non-stop.
Of course, what these guys say may not be credible, but if you are good at analyzing, you can still get some information.
The conversations of several of the drinkers caught Gao Jing's attention.
"Did you know? The Blood Moon Society has just issued a Blood Moon arrest warrant to hunt down the murderer of Viscount Duka!"
"Viscount Duka? Is he the president of the Moon Worshiping Chamber of Commerce? Why was he killed?"
"I heard that someone had his head cut off at home last night. He probably accepted the reward mission."
"Who is so capable and not afraid of Blood Moon's revenge?"
"I'm afraid I won't come to Xucheng."
Gao Jing did not expect that the middle-aged man he killed casually had an unusual identity.
This guy whose head was installed in the storage space by Gao Jing is not only an important member of the Blood Moon Society, but also an agent of the Blood Moon Society outside, running many industries.
It is said that Duka was originally the son of a small businessman in the Capital of Kings. His mother was favored by a big shot because of her beauty, so he was recommended to study at the God of War Martial Hall because of his high martial arts talent.
Duka was promoted to the Totem Warrior and graduated from the God of War Martial Arts Hall, and was arranged by this big shot to serve in the City Guards.
With good abilities and a strong background, Duka rose through the ranks and was awarded a knighthood.
However, as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances. This important figure was liquidated and killed by his political opponents. The Duka family, who were his close relatives, also suffered disaster, and their homes were confiscated and exterminated.
Duka escaped from the Capital of Kings alone and took refuge in the ancient Yinxu City.
He joined the Blood Moon Society and became the president of the Moon Worshiping Merchant Guild. He was also quite a famous figure in the market city.
Duka's death not only angered the Blood Moon Society, but also alarmed the three wizard towers.
Personnel were dispatched to investigate.
The Blood Moon Society has even issued a Blood Moon arrest warrant. Anyone who provides accurate clues to the murderer will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins and a high-level witchcraft. The reward for directly catching the murderer will be tripled!
It is rare to see such a high reward. There were many desperadoes in the ancient Yinxu City, and the people in the tavern were all very moved by this, and everyone was vomiting when talking about it.
And these guys never dreamed that the real murderer of Duka was sitting next to them!
Gao Jing sat and listened for a long time, but didn't hear any more useful information, so he got up and left the tavern.
Get ready to take a look around.
The moment he stepped out of the tavern, something suddenly moved in his heart.
He looked towards the third wizard tower not far ahead!
I saw a group of people filing out of the wizard's tower, boarding the carriage parked outside, and then, escorted by a group of fully armed knights, they galloped towards the city gate.
The opponent has three carriages in total, and the character who photographed the ancient scroll is on the second carriage!
Gao Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was prepared for a futile effort, but he didn't expect his target to leave the wizard tower so quickly.
The opportunity was too late to miss, so Gao Jing immediately followed.
The convoy passed through half of the market city, exited through the city gate, and headed towards the Capital of Kings.
Just a few minutes after the convoy left the city, Gao Jing's figure instantly appeared outside the south city wall.
He looked at the fleet of cars going away and suddenly jumped into the air, his whole body flying forward like an arrow from a string.
Following the convoy at a distance, Gao Jing did not immediately intervene, but followed for almost half an hour. After guessing that he was already far away from the ancient Yinxu City, he suddenly accelerated.
Landed at the front of the convoy!
Xilulu~
The guard knight who was running at the front was caught off guard and instinctively tightened the reins, causing the horse to stand upright.
There was a commotion in the convoy.
But the knights following the carriage immediately drew their weapons and at the same time protected themselves with armor.
They quickly rushed forward and formed a defensive formation with their companions.
Gao Jing turned around, held the dragon bone staff in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Hand over the ancient scroll and let you live."
"Arrogant!"
The leading knight guard was furious, his eyes instantly turned red. He suddenly jumped up from his horse and swung the sword in his hand towards Gao Jing in the air.
A streak of red flame sword light roared through the air, slashing hard at Gao Jing's head.
The level of strength has suddenly reached the level of an upper-level warrior!
At the same time, a dozen other knights shouted together and charged towards Gao Jing.
Although the number of knights in this team is small, they are well-trained and work well together, and they all have the strength of great warriors.
When they launched a charge, each other's momentum and fighting spirit merged with each other, and a force similar to the field was produced and blasted towards Gao Jing!
This is a battle force that can only be gathered by an elite army, with power that rivals the realm. If Gao Jing is just a great wizard, even if he reaches a high level, he may be defeated instantly.
interesting!
This was Gao Jing's first time facing the blow of a war situation, and he felt a faint sense of threat.
Although there were more than a dozen people on the other side, they were like an unsheathed sword, with the momentum pointing in the direction of the sword's edge.
Go forward without any forward sharpness!
However, this sharp sword cut in vain.
Before the battle was imminent, Gao Jing instantly disappeared without a trace on the spot, leaving the sword light slashed by the leader's guard knight to hit the ground in vain, plowing a deep ravine.
The powerful warrior fell to the ground and couldn't help but be stunned.
His fellow knights whizzed past from left and right, all of them looking dazed.
The feeling of punching everything with all your strength is really uncomfortable.
And weird!
