At this moment, Mo Bei felt that he could hardly hold his big sword anymore. You came to pick up the master and you just acted honestly. What's there to ask about such a trivial matter? It seems that you are thoughtful?
It could be heard from the accusing tone that this person's status was definitely far above that of his followers. Based on his appearance, it was inferred that he was most likely the housekeeper Gioia whom Black had mentioned.
But Blake didn't have the slightest understanding of Conrad's personal entourage, and even if he looked carefully at the corpse, none of them could be recognized. Moreover, after these retinues put on the standard equipment, it is impossible to recognize which one is which. They don't even have the captain's logo. This kind of NPC also has a name?
Morse's age, body shape, and voice have all become a mystery, and no one can answer rashly now.
The main reason is that now is not the time to destroy the character. These dozen people are not a threat, but the trouble is the dozens of inner city guards not far behind. These people have many emergency means to quickly recruit manpower.
"Um??"
He took a few more steps forward, but without waiting for a reply, the person who asked the question stopped and turned around with a slight anger. His eyes scanned the faces of Mo Bei and others sharply. It seemed that the lack of answer to the question made him feel... His majesty was challenged, and he didn't pay much attention to the three additional Akalis who appeared in the queue.
Seeing this man's eyes glancing back and forth, Mo Bei wanted to kill him even more. You couldn't recognize him clearly. Why did you insist on naming him? You almost couldn't stop me. .
But at this time, he had already made a gesture to Perona from behind the shield.
Take the second option.
"Noisy..."
Almost at the same time as he made the gesture, Conrad in the soft couch uttered two words in a cold voice. The voice was not loud, but he could still hear the discomfort after the teleportation, and he was in an extremely bad mood.
This rebuke caused a flash of astonishment to appear on the man's face, but with his knowledge and imagination, he could not doubt the identity of the master for a while, so he turned around without hesitation, bowed, and quickly followed He bowed his head, took out a water bottle inlaid with silver wire, poured half a glass and handed it to Conrad.
Conrad waved his hand slightly irritably but did not answer it. He rubbed his brow and asked in a deep voice:
"What's happening with other companies in the past two days?"
"No, everything is normal in the mining city. Your Highness... Is your trip going well?"
"Not going well?" Conrad sneered, the result of the trip to Kurast Harbor was self-evident.
"Is the information wrong?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back. By the way, Morse's gang of losers are no longer here. They are the mercenaries I just recruited. You should take them to get familiar with the situation here as soon as possible."
"yes."
After some questions and answers, coupled with previous speculations, it has been determined that this person is Conrad's number one henchman, the housekeeper Gioia.
Gioia's answer also confirmed from the side that what Conrad cared about most during his lifetime was the industry in the mining city of Alkanas, which will also be the focus of their operation.
After Qiao Ya responded, he turned around and looked at Mo Bei and his party again, with a hint of surprise on his face, and he investigated Conrad's words without the slightest doubt.
He seemed to feel that this group of mercenaries were more imposing than the previous ones just standing, and he nodded inconspicuously.
Seeing that there wasn't even a doubtful look on his face, Mo Bei thought to himself that this was in line with their previous inferences. Those followers were all cannon fodder. As long as Conrad looked intact, there was no clue how they were wiped out. care.
I would say that this puppet is their greatest confidence for this trip!
He turned around and winked at his teammates, hoping to see their recognition and appreciation for his decision, but found that the focus of their eyes was on Perona. . .
Well, the specific operation is more important. .
The group of people continued to move forward, saying nothing along the way, and met no other pedestrians. There were only slightly chaotic footsteps, which seemed particularly abrupt.
Just now, pedestrians were seen walking around in the outer city from time to time, but the inner city, shrouded in lights, seemed extremely dense and quiet.
Ten minutes later, they arrived outside a magnificent house.
Along the way, Mo Bei and others had already gained a certain understanding of the architectural style in the inner city. It was indeed an ancient city that had existed for thousands of years, and the various exquisite details were completely different from the buildings they had seen before. Comparable.
After seeing Conrad's mansion, the luxury of the building really opened their eyes.
The wall is not very high, but it is very beautifully built.
The finely cut and polished limestone forms a uniform and regular pattern on the wall, which is repetitive but not monotonous. The carvings and even the inclinations of each wall stack look both stable and beautiful, which can be said to be ingenuity. transport.
Not only that, there are also semi-circular pools built under the walls, which are filled with aquatic plants such as sedge and calamus, and various plants and trees planted in handicraft-like flower pots, embellishing the surroundings. Full of life.
The same is true in the courtyard, which looks like a hanging garden against the scattered buildings on the high ground.
This greening is too luxurious, and what’s even more exaggerated is that there is a fountain in the courtyard!
You must know that this city is built on a high ground, and it is extremely difficult to obtain water. At this time, in the inner city at the highest point, you can vaguely hear the sound of water flowing down, and occasionally there is a slight mist of water. The night breeze caressed my face, bringing a slight chill.
The water intake project of Kartim City can be said to be one of the world's architectural wonders. It is an aerial river spanning hundreds of kilometers.
The Akentek River originates from the northern plateau and flows down the high mountains. Near the east side of Kartim City, because the mountains are cut off from the middle, a huge gap appears, creating an eastward tributary that feeds the Uri, a holy place of civilization that shone brightly in history.
The other tributary goes all the way south, deep into the Tolaran rainforest.
The ancestors who built the city of Kartim used bridge piers with a height of more than ten feet to prop up an aerial river, and continuously introduced the water of the Akentek River into the city of Kartim from the mountains.
This is a miracle created by an unimaginably huge amount of work. However, the river water entering the city must be sent to the inner city and flow down from the high towers, which cannot be separated from the assistance of magic.
The purpose of this is just to protect the dignitaries living in the inner city from the scorching heat.
Look at what people have done with the property in this community. . . .
Mo Bei looked around at the courtyard partitions as the team passed through the porches. He saw the buildings showing luxury that was far out of proportion to the background of the times. He sighed in his heart. This was much richer than Jehain's family.
Regarding his looking around, housekeeper Gioia did not show any dissatisfaction, and her words were much more polite than at first, because Perona had already explained it through the puppet.
Mo Bei was quite satisfied with Qiao Ya's attitude of answering questions, and thought to himself, I hope you know the truth, otherwise you will just wait to be stabbed in the back by justice in a corner.
Thinking of this, he felt that if he were cut open, he would probably be black, and he would want to kill someone if he encountered any obstacles. However, a bitch like this is definitely not a good thing. Let’s see how much use value it has.
Speaking of Hei, he thought of Hei Pi in "Crazy Stone", and his own behavior style was somewhat similar to his. .
But it's okay, our teammates are in charge and can't stand the trap. . .
