Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1887: The Iron Maiden (5)
Chapter 1887 Iron Maiden (5)
The next day. ?≠
As soon as Arthur woke up, he heard a commotion outside the window.
He rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, just in time to see a group of figures running through the woods. From the faint sound of the metal crashing of the armor when the group of figures ran, Arthur knew that this group of people were combatants in heavy equipment.
"Humph." He snorted, didn't look any further, and walked out of the room with his weapon.
"Oh, Lord Aslan, I've been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as Arthur came out of the room, he saw little Zuster (Johnny Zuster) fully equipped guarding the door. Little Zust's long leather coat with metal breastplate and shoulder armor, and the long silver whip with divine enchantment, is the standard attire of a vampire hunter.
"Something happened?" Arthur asked.
"No. It's just some routine combat drills, you don't have to worry about it." Little Zust replied, "Joey reported yesterday that you were going to go to Superintendent Tigen, right? Then we will Go find him."
"Very good." Arthur also didn't intend to meddle in the business of the Melson Brotherhood. Now he found Tigen, got the key to the treasure house, and got his Seraph Sword back. service.
"Speaking of which, is this enough equipment for you?" Little Zust looked at Arthur's weapon again and asked suspiciously. Arthur only has an ordinary short sword in his hand, plus a small round shield. He didn't even wear a breastplate. Now Arthur is almost a paper defense, and his attack power is extremely low. I am afraid that the small broken sword can't even cut through a slightly thicker leather armor.
"You don't need to worry about me." Arthur said angrily: "And go to Superintendent Tigen, do you need so much equipment? We are not on the battlefield."
"Lord Aslan, you may not be aware of the current situation. Although the base of the Brotherhood is in France, it is within the occupied area of the English army. There are many soldiers in the British army who disregard the law, and there are usually patrolling soldiers. Burning, killing and looting everywhere. Our principle is not to have a head-on conflict with these soldiers. But what the other party does is completely beyond our control."
"Just say [there are bandits in the vicinity]." Arthur gave little Zust a white look: "Okay, it's just a group of bandits, nothing to worry about. Just take care of yourself, You don't need to worry about my business."
"Since Lord Aslan, you said so..." Little Zust looked at the weapon in Arthur's hand again in disbelief, but didn't dare to complain any more: "Then at least hold This is it."
He hands Arthur a bundle of small things. Those are small flying knives, very slender, but very tactile and heavy. It might be more accurate to think of them as heavy steel needles. There are probably hundreds of small flying knives in bundles, each of which is only as thick as half a finger.
"Hidden weapon?" Arthur recalled that the old vampire hunter Old Zust often used various auxiliary attack props, from elixir to throwing knives. But it was the first time Arthur had seen such a slender and lightweight flying knife. It seems that the equipment of vampire hunters is also advancing with the times, constantly pursuing practicality in battle and constantly evolving.
"It is coated with nerve-paralyzing toxin. Although it won't kill anyone, it can paralyze the person hit by it for about half an hour. Please be careful not to hurt yourself." Johnny Zuster Say.
"Understood." Arthur put away the small throwing knives. A whole bundle of small flying knives is fixed on a holster, and the holster unfolds into a long belt, just enough for Arthur to wear it like a shoulder strap. In this way, when Arthur wants to use this paralyzing flying knife, he can easily take out the flying knife from his waist and throw it out. It's a nice design.
"Then let's go out. Two horses have just been vacated in the base. I hope Lord Aslan knows how to ride."
"What I don't understand?" Arthur asked. If Arthur drives the cavalry, he can drive very well. But it was a living horse, and Arthur was still manipulating this unfree body, so it was questionable whether he could steer a horse.
"If you don't understand...you can also let the dog do it for you." Little Zust said.
"That's fine, call Joey," Arthur said.
"Okay, I'll let Joey wait for us in the stable." Little Zust whistled, and it turned out to be a lark. He tied some simple little notes to Lark's feet and let it go.
"It's not an owl or a carrier pigeon?" Arthur groaned.
"The lark is very useful as a short-range messenger in this base. This dexterous bird can get into almost any corner." Little Zust explained.
The scale of the base itself is not particularly large. The two of them chatted and reached the stable downstairs, where little Zust's well-behaved and capable son was already waiting there.
"Do you want me to handle the horses, Lord Aslan?" Joey asked as he came up.
"That's for the best of course." Arthur didn't want to take the risk on a horse at all, and it was better to let someone else do it for him. What if he didn't ride well and fell off his horse and broke his arm? It's not worth the risk at all.
A broken hand can be deadly in this medically backward world, and even if it doesn't die from an infected wound, it's likely to be handicapped for life. Since Arthur didn't know how long he needed to use this boy's body to stop, of course he cherished this body, and the more cautious he was, the better.
"Then let's go." The Zusters jumped onto their horses.
Johnny Zuster rode a group of large gray-brown horses. The manes were not trimmed very much. They were almost the same as wild horses, and they seemed to be strong enough. It is exceptionally submissive under the control of the vampire hunter.
And Joey Zuster rides a white gold pony, which looks quite young, and if you compare it to a man, it is a young and vigorous young man . The little steed and Joey are unexpectedly in tune.
Because it was agreed that the horse would be handled by Joey, Arthur just jumped on the horse and sat behind Joey. At first, he was a little worried that the little horse would not be able to bear the weight of Joey and Arthur, which would slow him down, but Arthur actually sat on it and found that the little horse was very stable. heavy person or thing. What's more, Arthur and Joey are actually the weight of teenagers, and they don't have any heavy equipment. The combined weight of the two is not as good as that of an adult wearing light armor.
"It is estimated that we have to ride a horse for half a day to get there. Inspector Tigen is still in the Royal Library of Burgundy, and has encountered some small troubles and can't come back." Little Zuster said while reassuring the horse's head: "We Hurry over here and meet up with the superintendent first."
"Is there any trouble?" Arthur asked.
"It's just... a small political dispute, no big problem." Little Zust rode his horse and swung his whip, and had already let the horse out of the stable: "I believe that with the connections of the Brotherhood, It must be settled smoothly between Burgundy and British influence."
"I only hope so," Arthur responded. The white steed he and Joey rode on followed, and was not far behind the big brown horse.
If it's only a half-day ride on horseback, Superintendent Tigen should be back by last night. However, it has been delayed for so long and it has not come back, which proves that something must have happened there. Arthur's current equipment is far from being in a perfect state, it can only be considered improvised. Hope you don't get into any troublesome battles.
The two horses ran very fast, and probably ran back and forth countless times, already familiar with the complex terrain of the mountains and forests. It is rare for them to travel through the forest as if walking on the ground.
Through the jungle and along the banks of the river, there is hardly any trouble along the way, and Arthur just takes a look at the scenery along the way and enjoys the natural beauty of the surrounding green charm. In this way, they reached Burgundy at about noon. During the Anglo-French War, Burgundy actually stood in the camp of the British army, and they were also the first group of people who betrayed France, colluded with the British, and conspired to swallow the whole of France.
But none of this has anything to do with Arthur, not even the Myerson Brotherhood. The members of the Brotherhood are all over the world, and their connections are very wide. Even the British army, which is brutal and close to bandits, will not move the Brotherhood at will.
What's more, little Zuster's outfit has a background, and those who understand will naturally understand that this Zuster is a vampire hunter. Arthur could be slightly aware of the awe in the eyes of the British officers who patrolled along the way.
Perhaps it was because of this "convenience of position" that little Zuster and his two cavalrymen passed through the towns of Burgundy unimpeded, and soon arrived in front of the Royal Library.
The library appears claustrophobic, with its steel doors closed.
"What?" Arthur asked, jumping off his horse.
"In order to avoid [trouble], the superintendents locked the front door. Let's go through the back door." Little Zust quickly jumped off the horse and patted the big brown horse's butt.
"Very well----" Arthur was about to follow little Zust, but Joey came after him after he had tied the horse.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Arthur warned: "Don't follow the kid, it may be dangerous."
"I've been formally trained in vampire hunter combat since I was six years old ~IndoMTL.com~ and can handle dangerous situations." Joey patted the small dagger hanging from his waist belt. There were even several tubes of unidentified liquid on his belt, which Arthur guessed was a small portable version of the holy water bottle that vampire hunters used to use.
"Don't worry about Joey, he can take care of himself." Little Zust also said that he seems to be quite assured of his son's fighting ability: "What's more, this may also be a good exercise for him. In recent years, it has been too peaceful, and we have not had the opportunity to be dispatched------"
"Since you say so." Arthur shrugged.
While they were talking like this, the three had already turned to the back of the library and walked along a path that had been dug out and extended downwards. After making a zigzag twist, Arthur could soon see the back door at the end of the path into the library.
Of course, he also saw those faint dark reds on the door.
It was blood, and it should have been left a few hours ago, blood that has not been completely oxidized and blackened.
