Chapter 43 Aren't You Afraid of Retaliation?
The spring sky is clear and cloudless.
On the carriage transporting grain, Pei Renli found a place to lie down. Although the sack filled with grain was definitely not as good as a bed, lying on the grain with moderate hardness and softness would make him feel like there were hands behind his back if he moved slightly.
The gentle massage made him couldn't help but squint his eyes in comfort.
The incident of chasing into the sewer has become something yesterday, or to be more precise, it was a matter of a few hours ago.
At that time, they were lucky enough not to get lost again. They left the underground smoothly and passed through Xiacheng District, intending to enter Muxing City.
——Then he was stopped by the guards.
Kaya's shoulder was not in good condition. Even she couldn't tell whether the bone was broken or cracked. Eve's left hand was indeed broken and she couldn't lift it at all. She could only tear off a piece of cloth and hang it as a sling.
, and because Korra was hit in the leg by a war hammer, she said with certainty that the bone must be cracked, and the three of them had to support each other to walk, which was miserable.
Looking at it this way, Pei Renli was the least injured, but he also felt dizzy and uncomfortable. He probably had a slight concussion.
Such a group of injured people is very eye-catching, not to mention that Pei Renli is also carrying the meat ticket of the suspected eldest lady.
When she was in the sewer, she could still help Pei Renli to move in front of her. After coming out, she may have felt a lot more at ease. The sudden relaxation made her collapse to the ground, and she could only let Pei Renli, who was the least injured, carry him on her back.
.
And don't forget, she hasn't taken a shower for who knows how long, and her clothes are all covered in thick greasy smell and traces of vomit that exude a strong sour smell.
When everyone was fighting, they were squirming around, and were covered in kerosene with a strong pungent smell. The place they went to was still a sewer, and the smell there was also very prominent...
Such a group of fragrant and miserable guys, no wonder the guards stopped them.
This was not a big problem. The man who seemed to be the eldest lady took out a badge that was almost pulpy from his pocket. When the guard saw the expression, it was like the appearance of his ancestors. He took them into the guardhouse as if they were welcoming their own fathers, and hurriedly took them into the guardhouse.
Go to the doctor.
This description is a bit exaggerated, but indeed, anyone who is respectful can be said to be filial.
Soon after, the Sheriff of Zhongcheng District rushed over wearing pajamas and inquired about the situation. His tone was extremely tactful, even his voice was whispering, for fear of being disrespectful because of his louder voice.
After saying a few words, the Sheriff from Shangcheng District also arrived...
After understanding what was going on, the doctor came over to treat their injuries. Pei Renli and the four of them immediately returned to the hotel. After resting for a few hours, they took advantage of the dawn and ran to the city gate to inquire one by one. Finally, they found a meeting place.
A caravan passing through Naspar and willing to take them along.
To briefly describe it, this is what happened. Of course, there are still many details left.
However, Pei Renli was too lazy to continue thinking about it. He had to face high-intensity training and grueling studies every day. As a result, he didn't have a good sleep last night. He stared at the clear blue sky that seemed to make people fall into it. Pei Renli's
The eyelids are obviously fighting.
Anyway, there is still some time before arriving in Naspar, so it would be good to take the opportunity to catch up on some sleep.
He thought so, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt the light dim.
Reluctantly, she opened her eyes and saw Eve squatting next to him, still staring at him expressionlessly, as if she planned to stare like this all the way if Perrenli hadn't opened his eyes just now.
In other words, if he hadn't seen some changes in Eve's expression, Pei Renli would have thought that she was a real facial paralysis.
The pain from the fracture was enough to make any rough man grimace, but Eve still didn't show it on her face. At most, she was sweating from the pain.
The time when her expression changed a lot recently was when she saw Pei Renli in women's clothing. Perhaps for her, the impact of Pei Renli's women's clothing was stronger than the fracture...
"When did you learn stance boxing?"
"Have you been holding this question in your mind all night?"
Eve nodded. If she hadn't been really free at night, she would have wanted to ask.
"You seem to have never discussed the details of stance boxing with me."
"Because I plan to practice at all."
A very vivid metaphor for the way of casting rune magic is similar to pinyin typing. The more runes you know, the more spells you can spell.
Therefore, when Pei Renli is learning spells, he usually sees a new spell. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, he first memorizes the runes, and then looks at its effects, principles and other spell information.
If the spell feels very practical, he will copy the key points into the spell book. If it is practical and the one he is in short supply, he will go to the spell testing ground to practice and share the problems encountered during the practice with Eve.
Communicate and gradually master the magic completely.
Standing boxing is the kind of boxing that you have just memorized the runes but have no intention of learning or practicing.
The spell level of Stance Fist is E-level, which is the same level as the Power of the Cat's Light Spirit Barbarian Bull, but it is a melee spell, that is, a spell that must touch the target with a weapon or hand to take effect.
For Pei Renli, who still needs to rely on runes to cast spells, melee spells have little practical value.
Think about it, if he really uses this kind of spell to fight, he needs one hand to quickly weave the runes, and he also needs to touch the target while the runes are completed. The timing requirements are very strict, and it really doesn't matter in a close combat situation.
Grasp, the error tolerance rate is too low.
Therefore, although the power of melee spells is much higher than that of long-range spells of the same level, Pei Renli still only has one electric claw technique that can be activated instantly, and he has no intention of learning anything else in depth.
Even if you use rune magic to cast spells, you cannot simply memorize the runes and you will be able to use the magic perfectly. You still need to practice repeatedly to ensure the success rate. The more high-end the spells, the more so.
This is like the difference between learning and mastering. Mastering and mastering are completely different.
The situation at that time was a rush. If it weren't for Eve's steel restraint and the other two people's desperate efforts to buy some time, Pei Renli would have had no chance to use stance boxing.
Moreover, whether a spell that has not been practiced at all can be successfully released depends on luck. It is not surprising that it failed once out of three times. Now if he tries it on the spot, it may not be so smooth. It can only be said that his potential was explosive at that time.
However, the power of stance boxing is indeed high. After this experience, Pei Renli felt that melee spells can also be learned, but they certainly cannot be cast with rune magic. When the pressure is lower in the future, he can study it carefully using the model construction method.
.
The problem that had troubled Eve all night was finally solved. She left with satisfaction after getting the answer, and Perrenli could finally close her eyes again.
But maybe he was not allowed to sleep. As soon as Eve left, someone came and sat down next to Perenli. And unlike Eve who was staring at him honestly, Perenli felt someone tugging on his cloak.
"Hey, are you really not worried about retaliation at all?"
He looked up and saw that it was Korra.
Rubbing his temples:
"Aren't you worried too?"
"Who said that? I'm worried."
As soon as I heard this, I knew it was nonsense...
Speaking of which, there are a lot of unknowns about the whole thing, and the water here is indeed very deep.
Originally their mission was just to catch a bad guy on the street, and that would be it, but the result of going too deep was that they seemed to have accidentally discovered a big secret.
When Sheriff Chatin explained the mission to them, he probably didn't expect that everyone could catch someone so quickly. He was not prepared at all, so he made a stupid move after discovering that Ji Xiu had been arrested.
It is extremely unlikely that a fire will break out in the prison, not to mention that Ji Xiu can take advantage of the chaos and escape from the cell. This shows that there must be something wrong.
Those who can freely enter and exit prisons and have the ability to do so must at least be at the level of a peace officer. Ordinary soldiers do not have this energy.
So when Sheriff Chattin appeared in the secret room in the sewers, Perrenli immediately realized that he was working with the person behind the scenes.
In addition, details such as the locked door made no sound and Sheriff Chattin did not bring any guards with him when he came over are also supporting evidence.
If it was before time travel, Pei Renli would definitely not care about such details, but it is different now. Because of the successful experience in the Castle of Horror, Pei Renli now pays special attention to the observation of details, and has almost developed a habit.
But after all, he is still a bit too young, and it would be bad to directly tell him when he finds something is wrong.
If he hadn't pointed it out, Sheriff Chattin would have pretended not to know and took credit for "breaking up the human trafficking organization" and "rescuing the noble lady".
It would be easy not to let him get his wish, but wouldn't it be the same if he left the sewers and went to a safe place in full public view?
So he was a little careless about this matter, and he will have to be more cautious in his actions in the future.
"Although you sprinkled Orange Heaven as an orange elixir on the ground to disgust Sheriff Chattin, there may be more orange elixirs hidden in him. What's more, after we told the whole story at the guard station, the guards will definitely
Send people to the sewers, maybe they can rescue Sheriff Chattin."
Korra said in a tone that sounded like a question but also worried:
"If he is really not dead, he and the people behind him will probably not let us go, but you don't seem worried at all."
"Who says I'm not worried anymore?"
"If you were really worried, you wouldn't be lazy trying to catch up on your sleep."
Now that you've seen it, don't bother me!
I always felt that Korra did it on purpose, but Pei Renli didn't explain, just smiled awkwardly but politely.
If Sheriff Chattin is still alive, even if he doesn't take revenge openly, he will definitely look for opportunities secretly.
However, Perrenli said that he had no chance.
On the surface, everyone left Sheriff Chattin alone in the sewer and left, but don't forget that in addition to the person on the surface, there is also Ravna hiding in Perenli's shadow.
Afterwards, Ravna reported that she had perfectly carried out His Majesty the Demon King's order. He did not ask for the specific details, but Perrenli knew that the dead would certainly not take revenge.
The only problem is the people behind Chatin and the organization that in the name of human trafficking actually uses living people to test drugs. The latter cannot be guessed now, but the former should not be much of a concern.
