In a back alley in the city, the frost-haired old hunter Ajax stepped over the sewage flowing across the ground and suspicious objects floating in the sewage. Behind him, he lay scattered on the ground, holding a long dagger, a short thorn and an ax, but the ragged human body was unconscious.
At the end of the alley, the sound of fierce running had stopped abruptly; then, as the wind lantern was put down in the old hunter's hand, a human figure with pale skin, a bare forehead, and protruding eyes was suddenly illuminated, with his limbs climbing up the wall and his eyes full. He turned his head viciously and glared at Ajax.
However, several flying knives have been nailed to this human figure, and hollow blood grooves and pipe handles are embedded between the bones and muscles; large areas of blood are constantly flowing from his body; and it slowly becomes more and more Weak; and the button-down coat of a fine servant was still vaguely visible on his body.
"I just want to say one more thing," Ajax did not go up, but shot the opponent's shoulder again with his crossbow, nailing him to the wall with a splash of blood. Then he took out a small piece of silver-plated bloody blade tip and asked, "Where is the original owner of this weapon?"
"Go to hell! Damn hunters, all hunters shouldn't exist in this world." The human figure screamed, opened its mouth and revealed its unusual fangs and said: "Tear you into pieces, piece by piece. Eat them with their flesh and blood...ha...hahaha..."
The old hunter Ajax was suddenly startled and suddenly stepped back a few steps; he saw several missiles falling silently, and they had suddenly landed on the muddy ground where he was standing. However, he was also forced to leave the shelter by the alleyway wall.
Suddenly, several fishing nets fell from the sky, covering the lane where he was. Ajax only had time to chop one with his sword, use his long sword to pick away the other; jump up and shake off the third; then he dropped his sword in the air, grabbed the edge of the building, and jumped up.
Unexpectedly, he was unaware of the faint whistling of the wind in the blind corner of his field of vision; he quickly pushed his feet against the wall and made a large turn, barely grazing his animal skin waistcoat, and dodged several missed sneak attacks; then, Ajax saw in the corner of his eye, quietly The last snare that was pulled silently.
The next moment, with nowhere to dodge, he only had time to twist his body as hard as he could before half of his hands and feet were entangled. Immediately, his muscled arm was hit by an arrow and lost its support. He fell again in mid-air and was struck dully. In the sewage and mud all over the ground.
At this time, a few figures appeared in the dark alley, each holding a single-ring finger blade that was good for narrow melee combat, a recurve dagger, a pickaxe, and a one-handed sickle; they looked better than the gangsters who blocked the road before. , more well-trained and well-coordinated.
"You old dog, you are so poor that you can't even get the inherited formula for the secret hunting medicine, right?" The person standing on the high place laughed softly: "You are getting more and more popular. Young Master, you are about to be forgotten, so what can you do to fight against me?"
"This star really wants to retire"
"Before, the person you were looking for turned to our patron for help because of a nightingale, so we designed a quite interesting game for him. But we didn't expect that those specially left imprints , can you bring out another one?"
The next moment, there was suddenly a fierce sound of beans being fried, and the black figures entrenched on the roof suddenly screamed and stumbled and fell down. The thugs who were cautiously surrounding the old hunter Ajax couldn't help but turn around in alarm.
"That's why my help is indispensable!" Jiang Tian, carrying a wind lantern, also appeared on the roof of the low building opposite. "According to my experience, for such shady things, of course, you must use any means necessary." , try your best to avoid future troubles forever!"
"Sir! You..." The old hunter Ajax looked at the sudden appearance of Jiang Tian and others with a complicated face. In my heart, I felt both thankful and scared, but also felt an indescribable feeling of shame and regret.
"Old El, you are wrong." Jiang Tian said calmly: "We are all partners who have fought side by side. Why can't we trust you and have to act alone? Could it be that if something happens to you, we can So you stay out of it, or are you indifferent to it?"
Before he finished speaking, a large area of armor and sword reflections appeared in the alleyway; it was almost immediately followed by the aftershock of the fire blunderbuss; a series of crossbows were fired, shooting the armed thugs down. , but barely missed Ajax lying on the ground.
"Damn it, what are you..." The leader who was talking from a high place screamed, but he suddenly jumped up; with a jumping power that far exceeded that of an ordinary person, he suddenly flew through the air and pounced on Jiang Tian on the other side. ; Then Jiang Tian suddenly waved his hand towards him, and heard a loud bang in the air.
The thug leader who flew towards him with a sword was suddenly struck by a huge force on his body, and he hit the opposite lower wall like a fly. At the next moment, As the wall cracked due to the impact, it suddenly collapsed and rolled in.
A moment later, the mob leader, whose half-body was almost broken and whose head was almost turned sixty degrees, was still alive after being carried out by the searching soldiers. Even though he was spitting out blood one after another, he still kept screaming and yelling something.
"Speaking of which, I like you the best. You are very strong-willed and will not die easily no matter how hard you torture them." Then, Jiang Tian stepped on his head, showing his pale teeth and smiled: "Next , please don’t disappoint me!”
As the menacing procession passed through the dimly lit streets, another pair of "nightingales" who came out to do business at night were startled; they finally arrived at the wealthy residential area in the north of the city; here the muddy ground , and the tiling becomes tidy and hard.
There are even boulevard trees, flowerbeds and drainage ditches dotting the period; so the air is less tainted by the crowds of people. Most of the small buildings and houses standing next to each other on the street were shrouded in darkness, and only a few of them had lights on.
Occasionally, you can meet a few night watchmen with lanterns, sticks and rapiers; when you see so many soldiers passing by, you can't help but hide in the side alley. Therefore, the team led by Jiang Tian arrived in front of a brightly lit courtyard with almost no obstacles.
The black iron-clad gate with studs in the courtyard looks quite old, and the entire porch, filled with figures and flowers, is also shrouded in dense creeping flower vines; it looks quite stylish and elegant. Standing outside the door, you can vaguely hear melodious music and laughter of men and women.
Obviously, when most of the soldiers and civilians in the cities outside were still in the midst of famine, these wealthy and prominent families still had the energy to lock them up and hold private banquets for their entertainment. Just standing outside the foyer, you can hear people complaining about the lack of supplies and the inconvenience of travel.
However, when the door was opened from the inside out by the scouts who climbed over the wall; and as a swarm of soldiers came in, they violently smashed it open. Behind the flower door of the banquet hall of the main building; Jiang Tian, who was surrounded in front of the door, We also saw many long tables piled with delicacies reflected in the mirrored lamps and candles.
There are roasted piglets with fruits in their mouths, large roasted chickens marinated in honey; large basins of panna cotta/pudding with lots of nuts and sugar syrup; large steamed fish covered with spices; and pies topped with cream. Immediately, the soldiers who had already eaten dinner couldn't help but swallow their saliva on the spot.
Most of the men at the banquet wore long, fat coats and embroidered sleeved jackets; underneath they were tights or lantern shorts and stockings. The women wore tights and long lace skirts that reached their waists and chest; there was also an old man wearing a black gown with white ribbons dotted around his neck;
But at this time, most of them had left their seats and were scattered in the empty banquet hall, chatting and laughing in small groups; even in some corners and in the shadow of candles, Jiang Tian saw two pairs with his sharp eyes, Men and women and... men and women who are caressing each other's hands?
The moment they were disturbed by the intruding soldiers, the women couldn't help but scream softly. They pulled their skirts to their chests and hid behind the men. Finally, a short and fat man with a thick gold chain spoke out forcefully. He said: "Who are you? Don't you know that this is Viscount Horton's special career? There is also the circuit judge Lord Lafont here. Who is your chief? How dare you offend the nobles of the kingdom..."
Following his words, the men and women plucked up their courage again and started asking questions one after another; even slaves wearing gray button-down shirts appeared from nowhere and rushed forward to block these non-rich people. Jigui's man and woman stood in front of them, clenching their fists in their chests to make a protective gesture.
"Yes, it is them. In the name of the newly appointed special military judge, they have brought everyone back. No one is allowed to be left out." However, Jiang Tian carefully looked at the other party's clothes and couldn't help but nodded and confirmed: "If anyone Anyone who dares to obstruct them will be subdued on the spot or even shot to death."
Following the order, the soldiers in the hall who were fully clothed couldn't help but shouted angrily in unison and moved forward a few steps. Some even smelled the smoke of gunpowder and the sound of winding. But it was the musketeers and crossbowmen from the rear team. , matchlock guns and military crossbows have been set up in the foyer and outside the flower windows.
When the servants in button-down clothes saw this, they suddenly fell apart, and some even rolled on the smooth floor tiles, dragging out a trail of water. And those men and women also ducked inward, bursting into screams and curses one after another;
However, the old hunter had sneaked in quietly from the window, and under the cover of the oriental patterned pillars, he went around to the side and rear of these reveling men and women; suddenly he waved a slender silver chain and volleyed it towards one of them, standing Beside the old man in black clothes and white belt, there were male guests who kept scolding him.
The next moment, he suddenly screamed in public, but was trapped by the ring end of the silver chain. And from the palms of his fingers and the skin of his neck that were trying to hold the silver chain, visible green smoke and an indescribable burnt smell sizzled out, and his face suddenly became ferocious, with protruding canine teeth.
