Raise Your Sword Chapter 18: Assassin’s Creed (1)

　　 "Isley, what's the matter?" Ogg walked over and asked.

　　 "There seems to be magical feedback." Isli suddenly looked out the window and said.

　　 At this moment, it is pitch black outside and it is freezing cold. It is snowing heavily, and snow forms a thick layer on the windows. Unlike the low forest landscape, the small town in the deep mountains is affected by the snow-capped mountains, and it looks like this all year round.

　　 Isli opened the door and walked out of Merlin's hut, turning his gold-rimmed monocles, the fine grinding of gears sounded. He frowned and faced the distance. After a while, he turned his head and said: "I don't know what happened, the magic power of that woman broke out in the northeast.

　　 Then Ogg, who came out, took a few steps forward and asked: "Can you determine the specific location?"

　　 "I'm afraid it won't work, I can only determine the approximate location." Isli retracted his glasses and thrust his sword into the ground.

　　Everyone has been in town for a while now. Because of Kate's lead, the action became very smooth and fast. The Ogg team quickly found the buried cave, and after recording the magical information, they could not wait to explore before heading straight to the town.

　　 "How long will it take for us to determine the smell?" Ogg looked at the team members beside him. Smell is an extremely secret tracking method from the northern country. Usually used as an aid to magic tracking. However, this special tracking method is not so easy to implement.

　　 "About half a day," said a player next to him.

　　 "Half a day..." Ogg thought for a while and made a decision: "I won't chase for now, everyone will rest here tonight, and we will leave tomorrow morning!"

　　 "Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

　　 "Kate, is there any shortcut to the northeast here?" Ogg looked at a slightly thin figure standing on the snow not far away.

　　Kate was shaking slightly in the cold wind. He looked at Ogle with a little fear and said, "Walking along the ridge will save a lot of time."

　　"Then you will continue to lead the way tomorrow. As for Isli, you go and ask all the townspeople! Investigate what happened! The cave is very strange, that woman won't risk a huge risk to explode magic for no reason. "

　　 "Understand." Isli nodded and walked toward the square. At this moment, a bonfire is burning in the square of the small town, and the heavy snow is turning red. The townspeople have been driven out of their homes by force by the team members. They are standing in a circle on the square anxiously. They don’t know where these people are from. Come, unable to resist, everyone can only stand nervously in the snow to face the next fate.

　　........

　　 ten days later.

　　Quest City is the country of hills-Ambo, a medium-sized city in the west. Because of its border with mountains, the fur trade here is very developed.

　　 Not far from the part bordering the green hills is the fur trade fair. The stalls where the goods are placed are side by side, and the long streets from east to west are crowded with people, and merchants are patrolling here to select fresh furs.

At the end of the 　　 near the low city area, there is an empty field for raising animals. The beasts gather together to graze beside the stakes. They are merchants’ favorite livestock in the city. They can bear heavy loads and have hard fur. Although they run slower, they are enough in the city.

　　The short city is a newly built city in Quest. In recent years, the steam engine technology from the north has revolutionized the textile and leather industry. Some businessmen choose to open some factories here for processing, although the scale is far behind. The level of development of the Duolun Empire, but has become the most prosperous part of Quest City, a large number of workers gathered here, and next to the low city is the largest slum.

　　A few beasts dragged a trolley through the stone street of the market, passed the empty field, and moved quickly towards the low city. There were a few children from the slums playing in front of him. Seeing Tuo beast pulling the car and running over, he immediately flashed to the side. A child accidentally hit the number plate erected by the businessman nearby, and several number plates fell. Go down.

　　 "Go!" An obese businessman wearing a woolen coat and a red hood raised his whip and rushed over to hit the child in a rage, but the child seemed to have experienced this kind of thing for the first time. Then he ducked to the side slippery, and finally he watched the fat businessman rush over clumsily, made a grimace and jumped aside. It didn't take long to disappear into the distance.

　　 "You wait!" The fat businessman was furious, and cursed a few words, and the guards around him rushed towards the escaped child. The businessman hurriedly turned his head again, and talked with the previous customer with a smile.

　　In the distance, the small car pulled by Tuoju stopped at the door of a gorgeous building made of heavy stones. Various flags were painted on the stones. There is a huge statue of a man at the door of the building. The guard stood at the door and stared at the passing pedestrians.

　　 "It's beautiful!" Merlin, who got out of the car, stared at the pure and white building in front of him, and the atmosphere formed by the pile of rocks made him amazed again.

　　After ten days of journey and exercise along the way, Merlin finally arrived at the city he had been waiting for. The first time I saw a place with so many people, Mei Lin was a little uncomfortable besides being shocked. Fortunately, Ishina was there to guide him to save him the process of groping slowly.

　　 The two walked around the market, and then took a small car to the Chamber of Commerce. I have to say that this way opened up Merlin's eyes. Whether it is people of all kinds, all kinds of buildings, or all kinds of bizarre things that have never been seen before, Merlin is a little dizzy. And the building in front of him is the most beautiful of all the buildings he has seen.

　　 "Let's go." Ishina was wrapped in a black robe, her voice faintly passed from the steps. Merlin followed in a few steps, watching an old man in black suit walking out of the building with a pipe and a cane.

　　 "This is the Chamber of Commerce, that is, the organization formed by the merchants who come and go. The Celtic Chamber of Commerce is one of the most powerful chambers of commerce." Isina explained to Merlin in a low voice as she walked.

　　Merlin has learned a lot of new things through Isina today, and can understand what Isina means. He looked around in surprise and asked: "What are we doing here?"

　　"Find an identity stamp for you before getting on the train. This can save a lot of things. Remember, try not to explode magical power if you don't use it in the city."

　　 "Understood." Merlin knew that a city where a church exists usually does not allow wizards to appear. Once detected ~IndoMTL.com~ it means countless troubles. The church will depend on different circumstances. To adopt different responses, the most dangerous one is to dispatch the adjudication agency.

　　 At this moment, the two of them have arrived in the hall carved with intricate patterns. The surrounding tall rock pillars support the entire hall. In front of them is a window sill sheltered by a fence. Several people in high-hat attendants stand behind the window sill. , Some people are lining up in front of the windowsill doing something.

　　 "Did you see the flags outside? That is the emblem of the Celtic Chamber of Commerce." Ishina changed her tone and continued: "As a neutral organization, the Celtics are very special. It communicates north and south. Trade, so in order to facilitate the exchange between countries----" Isina's words suddenly stopped.

　　 I saw a tall man coming from the left side of the hall, passing by them. The wide hood covers his head, and the short and tight clothes made of linen shape his body shape with great tension. It can be seen that this is a very strong man, but he is hidden in the clothes. People have a clever and unpredictable feeling.

　　 After the man moved away from the two of them, Isina thought for a while before looking at Merlin and continuing: "So in order to facilitate the exchange of countries, designated special occupations are allowed in the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, this agreement is limited to the meeting. , And got the acquiescence of the Holy See. Have you heard of a knight?"

　　 "I heard about it." Merlin nodded. Like wizards, knights are not uncommon in many rumors, and they appear more as heroes.

　　"The Holy See allows knights outside the jurisdiction to appear in the Chamber of Commerce. Unlike wizards, these guys temper their will and fight for strength with the flesh, and many of them are very powerful!"

　　 "Is that the person?" Merlin guessed and looked at the man who went away until the man disappeared in the side door. Ishina had been staring at him just now.
