"Bang bang~" The wooden window of the hotel was knocked from the outside. [No pop-up novel website]
Jaheira in the room made a "shh" gesture and stood up at the same time as Chanem.
This is a slightly larger guest room, divided into two rooms on the left and right by wooden boards. Jahira, Khalid, Chanem and Aimun all live here. They then drew their weapons and stood behind the two of them. The four members of the sword group formed a semicircle around the window, on alert.
To be honest, something happened to them now, which made them feel guilty from the bottom of their hearts, and the slightest disturbance would make them tremble.
They also just finished their adventure in Cloakwood and arrived at Baldur's Gate yesterday.
In the Cloak Forest, the adventures of the sword group can be described as magnificent - in order to help a brother find his brother's body, they went deep into the spider lair; they had conflicts with the dark druids, but because they had a common enemy, the Iron Throne, Cooperation was finally reached; they broke into the pterosaur lair for the reward from the Temple of Dawn, but unfortunately did not hunt the pterosaur. After only one dispute with the bustling pterosaur hunters, they had to give up; in the end, they rushed into the mine opened by the Iron Throne in Cloak Forest, killed Davaan, an important cadre of the Iron Throne, and obtained the Iron Throne Plan Some evidence of the iron ore crisis freed the slaves captured and enslaved in the mines, and finally dug up an underground river, completely flooding the Cloak Forest mines - now there is no two years to pump water there, so don't even think about mining again!
Yesterday, everyone in the sword group arrived at Baldur's Gate in the afternoon.
The group then separated. Jaheira and Chanem arrive at Flamefist's headquarters. The evidence about the Iron Throne found in the mine was handed over to Skar, the deputy commander of Flame Fist, in exchange for the reward of this mission. Khalid and Aamoun booked a suite at the "Three Old Cask" Hotel and prepared to rest for the next period of time. After Danai entered the city, she received a letter at a small church that seemed to come from her hometown. Then she pulled Minsk to say goodbye to everyone in the team. Leaving the city in a hurry.
certainly. There was also a troublemaker who caught up along the way, a bard named Athos Crone. He used his sweet words to impress Jasira and Imoen's sympathy, and they agreed to take him into Baldur's Gate. And help him to rescue his lover - Anta Silver Shield's daughter, Shi Ji, who is said to have been separated by the Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield and is currently imprisoned at home.
So they agreed, and they did. The news that Lovely Meng overheard made everyone frown - to put it simply, this was actually a kidnapping. Everything about having a lover is all nonsense. The actual situation is that they assisted the romantic villain Atos Kron to kidnap Anta Silver Shield's daughter Shi Ji from the Duke's mansion. Now Atos takes Shi Ji out to ask for ransom, and the four of them are sitting here to discuss it. Countermeasures... I really want to call the police!
"Bang bang~" The knocking sound sounded again.
"Who?" Several people looked at each other, and then Chanem asked.
"I'm Annie, open the window!" A woman outside said in a low voice. Chanem instantly pictured the heroic figure of the female knight in his mind. He directly took off the window latch and pushed it open. Before he could see Annie's figure, the figure flashed and Annie had already jumped in.
Although he had just seen Annie at Flame Fist yesterday, Chanem still failed to recognize her at first sight. Annie was now wearing the standard armor of Flame Fist, which was still men's style. The cloak on her back was bulging upwards, and she could tell that something was hidden at a glance. If Annie hadn't already taken off her equally ugly helmet, Chanem wouldn't have dared to confirm that it was her.
As allies who had fought side by side in the Sharptooth Forest, they had an indescribable sense of trust between them. When Jaheira and Khalid saw it was Annie, they both put away their weapons.
"That bastard Lu Yuan didn't come with you, did he?!" Jahira seemed to have remembered something and asked with an unkind expression. The awkward Chanem made her suffer a lot along the way. She never knew that this friend's adopted son could be such a stubborn person. So far, she and Khalid have not been able to dispel Chanem's desire to talk to Savrok, but he will not buy a bouquet of flowers and visit the Iron Throne openly.
"There are... wounded people, Ja... Jahira, yes... yes...", Khalid saw that the cloak Anne was wearing was bulging high, as if she was carrying a person on her back, and there was blood on it.
"Thank you, Khalid, not Ayuan." Annie knew what Khalid wanted to say, and despite the harsh words, everyone still regarded Lu Yuan as a companion.
"Put it over here." Imon opened the innermost bed. She smartly guessed that since Annie came in through the window, there was probably something wrong with the wounded, so she pointed directly to her bed, which was the most hidden place.
"Let me take a look...Ska!!" Jaheira lifted Annie's cloak and couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw a middle-aged man with a pale face and unconscious body tied with Annie with gauze.
Because she immediately recognized that this man was the one they had just met at Flame Fist yesterday, Flame Fist deputy commander Shika. At that time, Ska expressed his gratitude for their efforts and arranged new tasks for them. Unexpectedly, only ten hours had passed before Ska looked like a dead person.
She and Khalid took Sika off Anne's back and put him on the bed to examine carefully. At this time, Sika had taken off all his armor and was only wearing underwear and a shirt. People unfamiliar with him could not identify him. The wound on his back was covered with a thick bandage, but he was still unconscious due to excessive blood loss.
"I've run out of magic. Please help treat him. It's been half an hour since he was injured, and I don't know how long he can survive." Annie requested.
Jaheira nodded, and Khalid began to remove the bandages on Shika.
"Leave it to Jaheira, it will be fine." Imoen hugged Annie's arm and comforted her.
"Imoen, you look like you have grown up!" Anne relaxed a little at this time and said hello to Imoen, whom she had not seen yesterday. Now Imoen does seem to be more mature. She is no longer the chirping little girl. She has begun to learn to observe and judge, and she can also comfort others. And Chanem didn't circle around Anne like he did in the past. He was wiping the blood dripping from Ska. Dealing with the traces of Annie walking over.
Hear Anne's praise. Aimeng ducked back in embarrassment, hugged her arm tightly, and became the shy little girl again. Although there was not much contact before, the whole sword group was resting at Friendly Arm for half a month. Anne once again showed off her royal sister aura. All the little girls fell under the unicorn's hooves.
immediately. Annie said to Chanem with some embarrassment, "I might get you into trouble this time."
Seeing Chanem's puzzled expression, Anne pointed out the window. At this time. The shouts and whistles of the Flame Fist mercenaries were heard outside, and they gradually came closer.
Anne could only explain the situation as quickly as possible, then packed her equipment and stood up, "Everyone, although we have only known each other for a short time, I trust you just like you trust me. I will lead away the pursuers, Deputy Commander Ska It’s up to you! He will be the key to us thwarting the Iron Throne’s conspiracy! If Commander Skar wakes up later, please ask for his advice and trust his arrangements. If the Commander...doesn’t wake up, then you must try to find a way Meet Grand Duke Iltan, the commander-in-chief of the Flame Fist. Although he is now seriously ill and may be controlled by another deputy commander, Angelo Duson, he is the only one trustworthy in Baldur's Gate now. And someone who knows how to save the situation!”
After saying "Everyone, take care", Anne took a deep look at everyone present, turned around and jumped out of the window. She put on the Flame Fist helmet again and turned her back to the search direction of the Flame Fist soldiers, and quickly left the "three old wooden barrels" hotel, running towards the direction leaving the city. So far, the Flame Fist uniform she is wearing can effectively cover up for a while.
Baldur's Gate is a big city with all kinds of strange people and traces left on the streets. It is an impossible task to accurately track a person in the city. The Flame Fist soldiers couldn't do the same. They just searched the various hotels in the city in accordance with the rules.
Not long after, a group of Flame Fist soldiers blocked the streets in front and behind the "Three Old Cask" hotel. A dozen soldiers, led by an officer, searched each room. Wooden buildings have basically no sound insulation effect. The disturbed guests downstairs and their various curses were clearly visible to Chanem.
"Hide Sika, we need to get rid of the blood stains and gauze." As soon as Jaheira finished speaking, a young man with oily hair and a pink face hurried into the room, dragging a beautiful woman with him. This is the team's biggest cancer, the kidnapping bard Atos Kron, and his kidnapping target, the grand duke's daughter Shi Ji, this "good-for-nothing duo". It's okay if Athos Crone used lies to deceive his teammates into helping him kidnap. After all, not many bards are clean. But this bitch initially thought she was eloping with her lover. After being told the truth by Imoen, he actually happily cooperated with Atos Kron to blackmail the Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield!
The two of them were originally hiding in the next room, planning how to divide the first ransom that had just arrived, but then they saw Flame Fist surrounding the hotel, and the two idiots were so frightened that they ran to ask for help.
"Anta Silver Shield has sent troops to arrest people! There must be a traitor among us! Help, hide us!" The slick man, Athos Kron, shouted eagerly without noticing at all. The faces of everyone in the sword group turned dark. The beautiful woman he was pulling, Anta Silver Shield's daughter Shi Ji, nodded excitedly. Neither of them noticed that there was a wounded person lying on the bed. They hurriedly opened several cabinets that could not hide the person, and finally looked under the bed together...
"Ahhh! Let go!" Yadoshi Kelong and Shi Ji screamed, covering their ears. Jaheira grabbed an ear each and pulled the two irresponsible men and women out from under the bed - one was dedicated to cheating his teammates. A person who specializes in cheating is indeed a couple.
"Xiao Cha?" Jaheira looked at Chanem.
"Leave it to me!" Chanem pulled out a dagger expressionlessly and said to Shi Ji, "You must listen clearly to every word I say next!" He struck lightly with the dagger. The nails looked like those of a real kidnapper. Shi Ji curled up and nodded in fear, "You, take off your coat and lie on the bed! Block this person firmly and don't let anyone find you! If you are exposed..."
"It won't be exposed! I promise!" Shi Ji looked at the dagger in Chanem's hand with a pale face. Then he looked at Ska, who was silent and seriously injured. Quietly tugging on the sleeve of Atos Kron, "Is this your new kidnapper? Why is he injured so badly?"
"Because you are disobedient!" Chanem interrupted fiercely, "Why don't you take off your clothes quickly!"
Shi Ji looked at Atos Kron, and he could only nod helplessly. Shi Ji reluctantly took off his coat. Lie down on the bed. Covered both her and Sika with quilts. After seeing Chanem go to do other things. She quietly grabbed the sleeve of Yados Kron again and looked at herself, who was unharmed, compared to the seriously injured and comatose Ska. She said sincerely, "My dear, you are so kind to me!"
"Hehe, hehehe" Atos Kron laughed dryly.
"What are you laughing at?! And you! Come here!" Chanem turned his head, smiled coldly, raised his dagger and pointed it at Atos Kron "I have a good task for you!"
…
The door opened, and a Flame Fist team sergeant came in with a soldier. The soldier looked around the rooms listlessly, obviously not thinking that he would be able to find Knight Anne this way. His eyes focused more on Jaheira's breasts and Imoen's ass. This was a rare benefit in recent times, especially when one was very imposing and the other was young and beautiful. They have completely different temperaments.
On the other hand, the sergeant with a gloomy face looked around sharply. His nose moved slightly and he smelled a hint of blood.
He looked around suspiciously, and finally his eyes rested on the messy gauze wrapped in Atos Kron's right hand, which was indeed stained with blood.
"What's going on?!" He stared at the hand with fierce eyes. Atos Kron timidly tried to hide his arm behind his back, but was caught by the sergeant! "Are you causing trouble in the city?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Atos Kron immediately denied it, but his face turned pale, making his words unconvincing.
"What are you afraid of!?" the sergeant said disdainfully, but did not continue to ask. "Show me your hands! For a waste like you, even if you make trouble, it's just petty theft. You can't hide this from my eyes like Dragon Dog! Huh, but I have too many things to do today and I don't have the time to pay attention to you! Your wound is not bandaged properly. , Are you pretending? Untie it and show it to me! Tell you, don’t try to hide anything from my dragon dog’s eyes!”
Imoen remembered that it was Chanem who had wrapped the gauze that Ska had replaced on Ados Kron's right hand just now! Unable to help but become nervous, he quietly held the short bow under the table, ready to take action at any time.
Chanem just turned on the spectator mode with a calm expression, showing no signs of taking action. Imoen could only watch helplessly as Athos Crone took off the blood-stained gauze - revealing a long new wound... Huh? ! Huh? ! Huh? ! Why are there really wounds? Aimeng turned to look at Chanem and saw her brother shaking his head slightly, signaling her peace of mind.
"Well," the commander named Long Dog grabbed his arm and put it in front of his eyes, looking at it carefully, "Tell me where this wound came from?"
"That was truly an epic battle! In the Cloak Forest, we met the legendary Sword Spider! Have you seen the Sword Spider? It is eight feet tall and has eight feet of legs. It has eight long legs, each of which They are both sharp swords! At that time, I thought, it’s broken! This time our team is going to take charge here! What should we do? What should we do? At this time, I was the only one who stood up! I said to them , you go first! I'll break it off..."
"Shit!" Dragon Dog interrupted disdainfully, spitting directly on the face of the boastful Atos Kron, "Shit! Your sword spider has eight legs! And eight more... your eight sword spiders live in Together?! You don’t even look at the hunting master and you have the nerve to come out and brag?! Let me tell you, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of my dragon dog!" He raised the arm of Atos Kron to show the wound, and glanced sharply at it Everyone, Imon was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
"It was obviously scratched by the goblin's blade!" Dragon Dog threw his arm away with disdain, "You brag, you have to choose the occasion when you brag! In front of my Dragon Dog's eyes, all liars can't hide! "
At this time, it seemed that the sergeant's yelling had alarmed Ska, or perhaps because Jaheira's magic was taking effect, Ska, who was about to wake up, let out a groan. Just when Dragon Dog finished speaking, the whole room could clearly hear it...
Several people resisted the urge to take action immediately.
Longgou's face became serious again, and he strode to Shi Ji's bedside. "Who was shouting just now?!"
"It's me! It's me!" Shi Ji covered Shika's mouth under the quilt, "I screamed, ah~ah~ah~" After saying that, she pinched her throat and screamed a few more times.
But obviously, Dragon Dog had no intention of letting go of Shi Ji lying on the bed. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the quilt, "You scream so unpleasantly, doesn't it sound like a prostitute? Tell me your name!"
"I'm not the Grand Duke's daughter!" Shi Ji shouted with his eyes closed.
Cold scene...
Long Dog's serious eyes scanned the room to make sure no one laughed out loud, especially the soldier he brought. After confirming again and again, Longgou breathed out quietly, "Why are you lying on the bed?" He thought it was time to change the topic, and left immediately after getting the answer! He found this woman lying on the bed that he couldn't see through - couldn't she be so fat and so stupid? This must be a big trouble!
"I was not kidnapped!" Shi Ji closed his eyes and continued to shout.
A drop of cold sweat seeped out from everyone's forehead...
Dragon Dog glanced at the room seriously again. He felt that his life must be ruined like this, and I will become the laughing stock of Flame Fist in this century... But when he looked at Chanem, he saw him pointing his finger at his temple. Turned twice.
"Sure enough! It's just as I thought!" Long Gou cleared his throat and declared seriously, "Nothing can be hidden from my eyes, Long Gou - this young prostitute who has just entered the industry, there must be something wrong with your mind!"
"I'm sick! There is indeed something wrong with my brain!" Shi Ji Rumeng confirmed repeatedly.
"Hahaha, close the team!" Longgou laughed happily and led the soldiers out of the room. You could still hear him shouting showily from a distance, "I'll tell you! Nothing can be hidden from me, Longgou." Eye!"
...Several people in the room wiped away their sweat. Atos Krone opened his mouth and sprinkled hemostatic medicine on the newly opened wound. Even like this, he did not dare to make any sound...
"Uh-huh~! Where is this?!" Shi Ji was about to get out of bed happily, but his mouth was released. Shi Ka, who was confused about the situation, let out a loud cry again!
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, there is absolutely nothing we can do. Now there is no need for dragon and dog to infer, everyone knows there is a problem. Following the shouting, there was silence all around. The sound insulation effect of the entire store was not good, and now it was so quiet that the sound of a cup falling in the lobby could be clearly heard.
Shi Ji covered Shika's mouth again with tears in her eyes, and looked at Chanem shaking his head, "This is not my fault, this really is not my fault!"
In the corridor, a dozen footsteps walked towards this side in neat steps. Chanem picked up the staff, and Khalid drew his sword...
"Captain! Captain!" Suddenly a Flame Fist soldier shouted all the way on the street, ran into the hall, and stopped the non-commissioned officer Long Dog who was about to go upstairs again. "Captain! We found Knight Anne! She is on the Wanlong Bridge! Commander, let everyone gather there immediately!"
Dragon Dog looked at the direction going upstairs, then patted his scabbard. He paused for a moment without knowing what he was thinking, and then ordered, "Gather! Target Wanlong Bridge!"
A group of people left quickly.
"Xiao Cha, what did you think of just now? Your appearance... has changed so much."
"It's nothing, just think about what Lu Yuan would do...it will be clear at a glance." (To be continued...)
