The flag of the Bloody Mercenary Group was placed diagonally on the wall of the building and was blowing in the wind. The ground was soaked by drizzle and snow seeds. On Nightingale Street, steel boots, cloth boots, and leather boots were walking on the uneven streets.
The carriages and horses splashed up the dirty water in the pit, drenching the white stray cat in the corner.
It was noon, and the people in the mercenary group who were not on a mission were eating in the backyard canteen. A thin middle-aged man came to the door of their canteen and knocked on the iron-clad wooden door.
Everyone looked sideways, and Miao Ba, who was sitting near the door, chirped and asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
The thin man glanced around the dining hall, and his eyes fell on Bimoye's table.
"He's looking at you." Susan, who was sitting opposite, was feeding her child while peeking at the man.
Bimoye took a look and felt that the man looked familiar, so he didn't take it to heart. After finishing the meal, he left the table with Lukwen and Delma, and found that the man was still standing there, waiting for him.
"You are..." Bimoye walked up to this man and suddenly recognized who he was: "Adams!"
Although Dark Night Blue Soul has always been stationed in Ten Star City, and has been for many years, Night Night Soul Adams rarely comes here. If he is not on a mission, most of the time he is in Shuling Principality, Bimoye, including the Bloody Servants
This was the first time I saw Adams in person since the regiment moved here and was stationed here.
"Long time no see, Christine, you are more mature than you were a few years ago."
"You are even more haggard than before. I almost didn't recognize you." Bimoye said, "If you have anything to do, go upstairs and talk."
When he arrived at Bimoye's room upstairs, he used magic to boil a pot of hot water and make some tea for Adams.
Adams said: "I want to drink more now. Is there any wine?"
"This is not a tavern." Bimoye refused directly, even though there were opened bottles of whiskey on the shelf next to him, and asked straight to the point: "You shouldn't come to the Bloody Mercenary Group at this time. You came here because of the encounter."
Is it difficult?"
"You still don't show mercy to others." Adams held his face, his hair was disheveled and had not been washed for probably a day or two. He wanted to speak several times, but couldn't. Moye knew that as an A-level mercenary,
As the leader of the group, some words are difficult to say.
Bimoye said: "I am also interested in those kidnappers. Those who can do such a thing are not ordinary kidnappers."
"I don't know who the kidnapper is."
"You don't know either?"
"No one has seen the kidnappers yet. They sent letters and tokens, and the person is indeed in their hands." Adams said: "The Republic said that the ransom can redeem the people of Dark Night Blue Soul together. The ransom is comfortable.
Both Ling Duchy and our Dark Night Blue Soul can come out."
"Then why are you here? With Disman's strength, you don't need to worry at all. If they can't even bring people back safely, there's no point in worrying."
"But the kidnappers asked for separate ransoms. Same time, different place."
"Is it to spread the risk by releasing people separately? Or does the kidnapper have ulterior motives?" Bimoye thought.
Adams said: "There will definitely be no trouble when Desman redeems people, and they will definitely send powerful experts. It's okay for the kidnappers to avoid risks. I'm worried that the purpose will be the latter, although the kidnappers are looking for money, so it's unlikely that they will do this.
, but in today’s world there are all kinds of people, who killed Lingdian Master Huofen, and even those who have such strength become bandits, I’m worried that there are really ulterior motives.”
"It's not wrong to think so."
Adams said: "I, the Dark Night Blue Soul, think I have some strength, and Desman is willing to send a few people with me to redeem people, but I still feel a little unsure. To put it bluntly, if the opponent dares to attack the mission, no one can escape.
This kind of ability... to tell you the truth, my wife Princess Victoria’s brother is in their hands and they must not let anything go wrong.”
"So you want to ask the Bloody Mercenary Group for help?"
Adams said: "It will be very bad for the reputation and morale of Dark Night Blue Soul if this is revealed. We have cooperated in the battle of Yanyang City. I trust your ability and your character. You don't need to send too many people."
, it’s useless to have more, if you agree, just pick a few of the most capable people.”
"Okay, I promise you." Bimoye agreed readily.
Adams was slightly surprised: "I asked, if your leader is not here, can you make the decision?"
"when are we leaving?"
"At two o'clock this afternoon, Desman will send a few people to accompany us."
Bimoye checked the time and said, "Okay, I'll gather the people. At two o'clock, I'll be waiting for you on the west avenue outside Shixing City."
Many days later, when the Desman officials, Dark Night Blue Soul, and others had just resisted San Rafael County, and they were still chatting with the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and local prosecutor in front of the county government, they saw a crudely made puppet.
As he staggered over, the guards on both sides immediately stepped forward to control the puppet to prevent someone from assassinating him. However, he saw that the puppet was holding two mailboxes. When he opened it, he saw that it was a letter from the kidnapper.
Everyone in front of the government gate looked around. The chief priest from Ten Star City said: "Our actions have been monitored by the kidnappers before and after we entered the city."
"Can you find out who it is?"
The roads outside the government building are open in all directions, and people flow heavily. The chief priest shook his head: "Such a simple puppet can be operated several kilometers away with a single control. Let alone a few kilometers, there are so many houses nearby, one kilometer away, it is impossible to find it."
."
The demon servant Zana who was hiding in a corner of the room saw Desman's men getting the letter and activated a small magic circle in his hand. The simple puppet in the distance immediately spontaneously ignited and burned very quickly. Even the guards
They responded quickly and extinguished the fire immediately, but the fire was too intense, and they probably hid flammable materials inside the puppet. By the time they were rescued, it had turned into pieces of black carbon, and even the iron sheets covering it were burned.
Melted.
The county lieutenant looked at the remnants on the ground and said: "The other party is very cautious and does not leave us a chance to investigate the puppet maker and his operating methods. However, this simple puppet must be homemade or picked up waste, and the origin cannot be traced.
."
The puppet master's control array usually has strong personal characteristics. In the eyes of professionals, suspects can be identified based on these characteristics.
"What does the letter say?" They did not enter the government building and looked at the letter directly outside the door.
Two letters, one to Disman and one to Dark Night Blue Soul, both asked them to go to the designated place to trade the ransom within the designated time. Since the trading location was one in the north and the other in the south, and the time was limited, the two letters were sent to each other.
Considering the safety of the countess and Ophard, they had no choice but to rush to the transaction location without stopping.
Let’s talk about Disman first. The chief priest took the people and the ransom and went straight to a place in the northern part of the San Rafael Plain that the locals called a small grass pit.
