The Magic Thief Chapter 13:

The gurgling stream is like a relaxed and unrestrained waltz. The footsteps of the flowing water arouse the rushing sound of the stream water, like the embellishment of the waltz, everything looks so natural and peaceful.

From these harmonious and beautiful sounds, Ruibo didn't feel any dangerous breath.

In fact, it is not the first time to be awakened like this, but the real danger has never appeared after waking up.

Sure enough, from a distance came the girl's playful laughter and the sound of jumping and trampling on the stream.

What kind of girl will come to play alone in this dark and terrifying forest in the middle of the night?

This is really weird, but Ribo didn't think much about this little girl who disturbed her dreams. He turned over and was about to go to sleep.

Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a dark figure flashed in silently, and Ribo knew that it was Kellle that came without a second glance.

In fact, apart from this killer teacher, Ribo has never seen a second person to avoid him.

There is naturally a silent way of dialogue among the killers that only they understand.

Ribo fully understood the message that Kelller had passed on to him in the dark, and he asked himself to gather in Mr. Hyde's tent.

Take the crossbow out from under the pillow and fasten it firmly to the left arm. Of course, the wand in the pocket and the two bottles of psychedelic powder solvent must also be carried on the body.

I got out of my tent, and it was pitch black outside, with only a bright moon hanging high on the branches.

The bright moonlight can't bring much light to the dense jungle, but it is enough for Ribo to tell where Mr. Hyde's tent is down.

The largest tent in the middle, which can hold five or six people, is obviously where Mr. Hyde lives.

Ribo flew across the moonlit ground and quickly got into Mr. Hyde's tent. This is the way that Kelller taught himself as a killer.

Since Kyle calls everyone to gather in this way, something important will definitely happen. Of course Ribo dare not neglect.

Entering the tent, Ribo could see Mr. Hyde in the dark, and saw Mr. Hyde sitting upright, holding a curved bow in his hand, like the one used by the Thor people. A bow similar to a short bow.

This is the first time Ribo has seen Mr. Hyde use a weapon. It seems that things are a bit bad this time.

I was thinking, there was already footsteps outside, and together with the door curtain, a thin figure flashed into the tent, and then sat down on the other side against the door.

That was Eckert. He carried a thin thorn sword in his hand. The kind used by nobles in duels. Eckert’s swordsmanship is quite exquisite, and his sword skills can even match those seen when he was in Nangang. Those who came were professional swordsmen from Xibai.

After a while, Ted and his buddy got in too.

Ted was holding a long gun in his hand. The tip of the gun was thin and long. It shone coldly under the moonlight. It was a good gun.

The guy is holding a machete, a wide-mouthed machete with a large arc. Thor likes this weapon. Ribo has heard of this machete forged by Thor, which can be easily cut. Broken the long sword meticulously crafted by the best craftsmen in France, I don't know if the guy in that guy's hand was forged by the Thor himself.

Just as Ribo was thinking about these insignificant things, Kyle got into the tent.

"What did you find?" Mr. Hyde asked in a low voice.

"We are surrounded. There are at least sixty guys hiding in the dark within one mile." Kelller whispered in his hoarse voice.

"Have we been found?" Eckert asked in a puzzled manner. He was really unimaginable. How did the news leak out? Could it be that the master teacher betrayed them?

"What happened to that little girl?" Mr. Hyde asked.

"The woman is from the opposite caravan. However, I think they are suspicious. At this time, the woman ran to us. I always feel that there is something weird in it." Kyle replied.

"There are so many of them, can you handle it?" Mr. Hyde asked.

"If I were just alone, I would choose to run away." Kelller said bluntly.

"What about us?" Mr. Hyde asked again.

"It's difficult, the goal is too big." Kyle replied without even thinking about it.

"Kill them all." Mr. Hyde's tone suddenly became icy.

Tengteng murderous aura permeated the entire tent. In the dark, Mr. Hyde's figure looked like a magic character Shen crawling out of the Jiuyou Hell.

Ribo was stunned for a while. This was the real Mr. Hyde's head of thieves who secretly controlled this vast land south of France. The kind and gentle old man was just an illusion.

It seems to have been infected by Mr. Hyde, everyone has abandoned the usual appearance of ordinary people.

In fact, both Ted and his buddy looked like ordinary car drivers.

But now, Ted has a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, with the barrel of the gun in his hand, with the neckline open, like a cruel butcher.

The guy grinned, his white teeth looked so dazzling and shuddering, and the steel knife in his hand kept turning around, as if waiting to hack someone's flesh.

Even a person like Eckert, who was originally gentle and elegant, now his eyes are full of coldness. He sat there motionless, just like Kyle’s usual appearance...Ribbo didn’t know, in someone else’s Isn't he different in his eyes? Is he the same fierce and cruel look.

However, he knew at least one thing that he was extremely nervous.

I don't know why, at this time, he is not afraid anymore. There is no feeling of fear, only nervousness, as if the heart is about to jump out of his throat.

Time passed bit by bit, passing in silence.

Listen carefully, the sound of shrubs being touched by branches and leaves and the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves are heard in the distance.

I can hear that the sneak attackers are very good, their steps are very light, and their movements are extremely calm, presumably they are used to night combat.

Ribo gently tightened the bowstring of the hand crossbow and buckled a crossbow arrow easily.

The sound is getting closer and closer, and it is already in front of you, and suddenly a horse neighs through the silent night sky.

The tranquility was completely broken, and dozens of figures sprang out of the forest, and they all rushed to their goals quickly in unison.

Every two or three people rushed to a tent, and a few people dealt with carriages and carts of horses, and they must not allow the prey to escape.

Just as these people organized their separate operations effectively, a sudden blow appeared behind them.

A few figures burst out of the big tent in the center, and the fatal blow came only in an instant.

Ted and the guy are in charge of dealing with the sneakers who vandalized the carriage.

The sharp spear is like the baton of death, playing the music of death, and the tip of the spear draws sharp electric lights under the moonlight.

With countless electric lights flickering, screams one after another.

The guy was also a murderous demon. He swept the scimitar in his hand and immediately chopped down his opponent with weapons and people. It seems that there is no doubt that what he holds in his hand is indeed a A treasure made by Thor.

As for those who attacked the tent, the same fate awaits them.

A strong and powerful bow and arrow pierced their hearts with a sharp piercing sound, taking their lives away.

This makes those who were killed are full of doubts when they die. In such a dark night, what kind of power is guiding the arrows to hit their hearts without deviation.

Could it be that the messenger of the legendary **** of the underworld stood by them, holding a bow and arrow in his hand to secretly deal with these failed sneak attackers.

In addition to the need to deal with the hundreds of bows and arrows in the sky, the daggers suddenly drawn from the darkness are also the nightmare of these people.

In their view, an invisible monster is swiftly and quickly assassinating those of them who are more powerful and able to escape the fatal damage brought to them by the terrible bow and arrow.

The magical dagger is almost irresistible.

What is left to them is death or death.

A dozen sneak attackers were quickly wiped out, but the crisis did not pass.

Suddenly, countless arrows were shot from the dense forest. The densely packed arrows penetrated the tents and carriages. In the dark, only the miserable neighs of horses could be heard. What's more terrifying was that these bows and arrows were mixed with several arrows. Rockets, rockets nailed to tents and carriages immediately burned.

The burning fire does not pose a threat to them, but the flame illuminates everything around them transparently, and the fire light completely exposes their figures under the aim of the bow and arrow.

The next wave of attacks will be more violent and precise.

Because of Ted's swift action, although three horses were shot to death, the others were lucky enough to survive.

The beloved thoroughbred horse that Ruibo cares most about is more alert than any other horse, and it has long been hiding where the arrow can't be shot.

However, just relying on the cover of the two carriages can only evade for a while, and the opponent has already rounded around to the two sides, and there is no place for concealment in those two directions.

In the current situation, Mr. Hyde's magical bow and arrow skills have also lost its effect.

The only thing that can be counted on is Kyle’s unpredictable skill.

In fact, Kyle has long been hidden in the dense forest, and the screams one after another have also proved his achievements.

However, the person who directed the attack obviously didn't want their prey to escape alive, and the bow and arrow did not stop at all.

"Head, I rushed out and fought them." Ted said, holding the spear tightly.

"It's not in a hurry, trust Kelller, he is an expert." No matter what time it came, Mr. Hyde was always confident.

At this moment, the surrounding footsteps are getting closer, nailing to the tree, and the arrows on the tent are getting stronger and stronger, and they even penetrated the carriage of the carriage several times.

It seems that those sneak attackers have launched a charge.

"Ted, pay attention to the left. Except for Kyle, you have the highest martial arts. You and Ruibo deal with all the guys from the right. You protect Ruibo, Ruibo, whether you use crossbow arrows or magic, Anyway, the left side is handed over to you, Eckert and Hess, you two will protect me, and the one from the right side will be sent by my bow and arrow." Mr. Hyde arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Ribo was already ready to stop. He drew out his wand and stretched it out to cover his carriage.

The mysterious wind spell sang softly on his lips.

Ribo didn't know if he could succeed, because he hadn't mastered this kind of magic originally, but through the resonance of that magical wind, Ribo felt that he had grasped the trick.

What made him feel extremely excited is that the magic actually succeeded.

There is no dazzling light, nor any earth-shattering voices.

The magic wand released a faint mist of water silently, and the spirit of the wind gently pushed the mist forward.

The flying mist slowly spread forward, spreading farther and farther.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out and appeared in front of Ruibo. Without even thinking about it, Ruibo shot a crossbow arrow out.

The crossbow arrow was unbiased and nailed to the man's throat.

Ribo felt a twitch in his heart, and he killed someone.

He finally killed someone.

His mind suddenly became blank.

Suddenly, a big, powerful hand pulled him to the ground. Before he could recover, an arrow flew past his ear and stuck **** the ground behind him.

A man with a bow and arrow in his hand was standing at a distance five or six steps away, with a spear passing straight across his chest.

"This is not the time to froze," Ted said in Ribo's ear.

Ribbo originally thought that Ted should be very angry, but he didn't expect him to be so calm.

However, now is not the time for him to think about problems.

The spear in his hand flew out, and Ted undoubtedly became incapable of self-defense at all, so he had to grab the spear anyway.

"Cover me," Ted yelled, and jumped into the clearing, only to see him somersault avoiding six or seven powerful bows and arrows that could have nailed him to the ground, turning to the corpse. .

The arrows are like locusts, and Ted didn't dare to rush back with a spear.

The corpse was a good shield, but an arrow still shot through Ted's thigh.

Dragging the corpse and fleeing behind the hidden carriage, Ted grabbed his teeth and drew the arrow off his trousers with blood staining his trousers.

Ribo poked his head out and shot a few crossbows one after another, sending the guys ahead into the ghost gate.

Fortunately, at this time, the magic just came into play.

Flying mist is scattered in a spot of ten meters in front of you. The attackers rushing out from there turned over and fell one by one.

"Ribo, did you do that?" Mr. Hyde said in a low voice from a distance.

Ribo nodded.

"A few more times, the farther the better." Mr. Hyde continued.

Hearing this command from the head, Ted struggled from the ground. He took the bow and arrow from the corpse and said, "Ribbo does what the head says. I will cover you, hurry up."

Ribo certainly knows that now is the time to race against time, and any delay will cost them their lives.

He drew his wand again, chanting a spell, this time he was going to use the last kind of magic.

Although this kind of magic has a very long spell, once it is successfully cast, the effect is obviously much more obvious than the previous one.

The kind just now is really too slow, but there is no way. After all, they are downwind. Those sneak attackers chose to attack in this direction, obviously taking this into consideration.

A drop of water flew into the forest, falling to the ground silently, and spreading silently.

It's another drop.

The attackers continued one after another--the film fell mysteriously, which couldn't help but arouse the commander's attention.

In fact, he felt a little baffled. How could there be a group of such powerful opponents all at once?

The information provided by that person does not mean that the guys to be killed are a few guys who pretend to be businessmen, but those guys are quite powerful, and there is a magician among them, but that’s a prophet, nothing Attack power.

Why are there two such powerful magicians suddenly appearing now?

The magicians here were so inexplicably let their men fall one by one, even rescue is impossible.

And there is a magician there who turned out to be an illusionist, and no one of his own can approach the carriage.

What's more surprising is that they each have an incomparable master.

The swordsman who uses the long sword is superb and staggering. Only two or three people in the entire Francis can contend with such a brilliant swordsmanship.

The other guy is even more terrifying. It is simply an invisible monster. His fighting method is frightening. It is simply a one-sided killing.

Where are these two people sacred?

However, it seems that the two groups did not go together.

The leader secretly regretted that he shouldn't have provoke another group of people just now. Obviously, only the guy who made up as a trader was his target.

It's fine now. I have provoked two extremely powerful teams at once, and my own loss is not uncommon.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to retreat now, so many subordinates are unclear about their lives and deaths. If you leave them to retreat, in the future, your reputation in this business will be ruined.

However, if you don't retreat and continue to fight, it will only be more unfavorable to yourself.

If it weren't for the two most powerful opponents who had fought each other somehow, I'm afraid that my army would have been wiped out long ago.

Just as the leader was thinking about how to help, suddenly the point of a long sword came out of his chest.

It wasn't until this time that he felt a tingling pain coming from behind, but it was only a very brief moment, and immediately after that, he couldn't feel anything.

"The old man is really accurate. There is a guy hiding here. I don't know if the next thing is correct." It was the girl who was shot by the sword.

She searched the body for a long time, and finally found an inch-long iron pipe.

This guy actually put the iron pipe in the pocket behind his ass, what a disgusting guy.

As long as the girl thinks that she has to blow this dirty thing with her mouth, she can't help feeling like vomiting.

"Next time you must remember that before you come out, let the old man predict everything. This kind of thing must never happen again." The girl muttered to herself.

She bit her scalp and pushed the iron pipe to her lips.

A sharp whistle sounded, and the black figure piercing through the dense forest in the distance gradually receded, and everything returned to its original calm and tranquil appearance.

Only in a corner of the dense forest, fierce fighting continues.

The trees fell one after another, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

Two human figures, like two bolts of lightning, are flying and colliding among the fallen trees and dense branches.

The two men are equally skilled, but their shots are simply worlds apart.

One of them is like a **** from the nine heavens, and the long sword in his hand draws an arc brighter than lightning. Every slash brought a violent whirlwind, and every swipe could easily cause a tree that could not be hugged by both arms to fall to the ground.

As for the other person, it is like a ghost going in and out of **** and the world. Every dark corner may be where he will appear next time. Behind every fallen tree may be his hidden body. shape. The dim and lustrous sword would not emit any light even under the sun, let alone under the gloomy moonlight.

The two men waved the swords in their hands. Their only purpose was to pierce each other's body with the sword.

Moonlight and night are undoubtedly more advantageous for Kyle, because he has lived in this darkness for many years.

Although his opponent has been on the battlefield and is no stranger to darkness, how can he compare to the king of killers who takes darkness as his home?

Being able to have such a strong strength, of course, will also have a vision that matches it.

What Kelller knew was unreasonable and that person didn't know at all.

In fact, the opponent cried secretly in his heart. At the beginning, he just thought that the opponent was an accomplice of the sneak attacker, but this was obviously a clear mistake that caused the two of them to fight hard for so long.

He began to worry deeply about the fate of his master and his companions. At this time when he needed his power most, he was actually locked in here because of a misunderstanding.

I don’t know whether the young master is safe, let alone whether the respectable elder can resolve this crisis with his incomparable wisdom.

He doesn’t know all of this in his heart, and another question occupies his mind. Why does this most powerful and terrifying opponent ever entangled with him? Look at him, as if he is also protecting him. Some important people, and in his favor, his side definitely has very unfavorable attempts against them.

Maybe this thought was caused by the young lady's actions.

He knew very well that since the old man said that the young man might become a powerful magician in the future, the young lady made up her mind to kill the young man.

Miss's adventurous move undoubtedly succeeded in distracting the sneak attacker's attention to the group of people.

Although, it really relieves my pressure in this area.

However, I never thought that that young man would have such a powerful companion.

Being entangled with this terrible opponent, he tied his hands and feet, so it's a bit outweigh the gains.

However, since this matter was caused by the young lady, then there is no reason to complain. At most, he will do his duty and die on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, the man fought hard for his life, because he was quite aware that the actions of his own party obviously caused the other party's killing intent. Once he failed his reputation, the young masters might not even want to escape their lives. Now the only one. The way is to fight for your life and get this terrible opponent injured.

Just as these two people were inextricably killed, suddenly a group of people walked out of the open dense forest on both sides.

Mr. Hyde, Eckert and Ribo have never seen Kyle fight with all his strength, so they don’t know who has the upper hand on the battlefield. However, they have the advantage of Kyle. I know quite well that the dark night is his best hiding place, and no one in the darkness can defeat him, the king of killers.

But the other side is completely different. The bodyguard leader lives with them day and night. His strength is obvious to all. Therefore, no one knows what this desperate play means better than them.

Because of this, the four bodyguards who were onlookers suddenly rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing this situation, Ted couldn't stand on the sidelines and stand by. He dragged his injured leg and rushed to the battlefield.

As for Eckert and that guy, they knew in their hearts that their skills were incomparable to these people.

The only one who can get through is Ribo.

For the convenience of casting magic, the magic wand is always in his hand.

Ribo said nothing, raising his wand and chanting the spell immediately.

Ribo's identity as a magician, none of the bodyguards in the opponent's camp is unclear. Therefore, those figures who jumped towards the center of the battlefield changed their direction and flew towards Ribo.

At this moment, no, suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the air.

The light is a hundred times brighter than the sun.

Moreover, its appearance is so sudden that everyone present will inevitably be blurred in front of them, and will be in a state of total blindness for a long time.

In addition to Kyle and Ribo, the bodyguard leader was the first to recover.

"I have to apologize to you. We did try to lead the enemy to you. I apologize again for such an attempt. Thank you very much for your help. Fortunately, everyone was not harmed at all. My heart is used as compensation to express my sincere apologies.” The young man said as he took out a cloth bag from his arms and placed it gently on the stump of a collapsed tree on the side of the road.

The host has spoken, and of course the bodyguards retreated obediently.

Kellle stood there silently, waiting for Mr. Hyde's orders.

Mr. Hyde stood there with no expression from beginning to end. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, he pointed to the cloth bag and said, "Ted, go and see what it is?"

Ted approached the tree stump cautiously, holding the cloth bag lightly. He knew in his heart that this was an extremely dangerous thing, and perhaps there was a deadly murder in it.

Opening the cloth bag, Ted was stunned by everything inside. It was a whole bag of gems, a large gem with dazzling brilliance and crystal clearness. Such a piece is definitely worthless.

Ted was speechless in surprise-"Is it a gem?" Hyde asked casually.

"How did you know?" Ted asked in confusion.

"The young man should be the prince of a certain country. This is their usual style. They prepare a bag of gems in advance so that they can redeem their lives in times of crisis." Eckert said lightly.

"Are you going to kill them?" Kyle asked.

"No need. It seems that their own troubles are enough, and someone else is waiting to take care of them." Mr. Hyde shook his head and said, "And we also have a lot of troubles. For us, there is no benefit. Things are less good."

"Will they?" Eckert asked.

"I don't think so, they should already know our strength, and there are still terrifying enemies waiting in the dark to ambush them at any time. At this time, it would not be a wise move to build a strong enemy."

Speaking of this, Mr. Hyde paused for a while. He thought about it and continued, "But it is necessary to be more cautious, Kyle, you are responsible for the night watch. Ted take a good rest, and your injury should heal faster. ."

"Head, what should I do?" Ted limped over and raised the cloth bag in Yang's hand.

"You choose two and leave the rest to Eckert." Mr. Hyde ordered.

After that, Mr. Hyde took the lead and walked back.

Back to the parking place, the tent and the carriage were all burned down. Looking at the ruins, Mr. Hyde shook his head and said with a long sigh: "It seems that I can only drive overnight tonight, Ted, there are still Are there enough horses?"

"There are six more alive, and they happen to be riding one by one." Ted said and led the six horses.

"Everyone pack up as soon as possible and see what important baggage you have to carry. After half an hour, we will have to hurry up overnight. Ted, when will we be able to reach Searthburg soonest?" Mr. Hyde asked .

"If you hurry up, I will be there tomorrow afternoon." Ted said surely.

"Understood, Kellle, you can search around to see who are still alive. You don't have to be polite to kill them all, but watch out for the mist under Ribob." Mr. Hyde seemed to think of something suddenly. I added another sentence: "Look again to find out if there are any more valuable people in it who can organize such a bunch of desperate guys. The leader is definitely not the general population. Unfortunately, I have no clue about this. , Maybe those corpses will bring us the answer, cut off two heads and come back, I am useful."

Hearing this command, Kyle immediately started to act.

"You mean, take the opportunity to make a fuss about this matter, and count this matter that was originally directed at those people on our heads?" Eckert leaned forward and asked.

"Whenever you have an opportunity, you must always make good use of it. These dozens of corpses undoubtedly increase the authenticity of Ruibo's identity." Mr. Hyde said.

"Will it lead to ghosts?" Eckert still has lingering fears about the life-and-death fight just now.

"If this storm really wants to find us, it will be impossible to hide. Since we can't hide, it is better to bring the ghosts and snakes to our site. Hess, you immediately set off to Lai and let send I rushed to Sarthburg as soon as possible, and I have something to find him." Mr. Hyde commanded decisively.

Everyone has arranged everything in order, so everyone can go back and pack their luggage.

But after being burned by this fire, there is nothing left.

For Eckert and Ribo, they hardly suffered any loss.

But Mr. Hyde felt quite regretful. Those two suitcases that had followed him for forty years and traveled to countless countries have turned into a pile of ashes.

One or two unburnt objects were pulled out from the ashes as souvenir crystals, and Mr. Hyde had finished packing his luggage.

Everyone took the horses in their hands, and they waited for Kyle to return.

After a quarter of an hour, Kierle's figure appeared in front of people, carrying a baggage in Kierle's hands.

"It’s Lidok, Xibai’s'residual wind, Lidok. He is very famous in the mercenary world. It is rumored that he has already washed his hands and quit, but it seems that someone has paid a huge price to hire him for secret training. These guys."

Keller said.

Mr. Hyde has also heard about "Residual Wind" Lidok. After all, there are not many people who are famous for using bows and arrows, and Lidok is one of the dumplings.

Mr. Hyde himself is good at bows and arrows, but his bows and arrows are known for their precision, and the reason why Liduoke is called "residual wind" is because the man’s archery speed is so fast, his continuous arrows The legend of law can even shoot off the wind.

Because of this unique skill, Lidok is very respected in Xibai.

"How did he die?" Mr. Hyde was somewhat sad. Although he was once an enemy, Liduo was a character who was famous for his bow and arrow skills. Of course he felt a little sad to die so unclearly.

"There was a fatal blow in the back." Kyle said lightly.

"Hey, the things that archers fear most come from behind. Who killed him? Could it be done by the same superb assassin as you?" Hyde asked.

"No, he must be a novice. There are a lot of marks left on the ground. As a killer, that person is not qualified, but he obviously knows where Lido can hide. He is going straight for where Lido can go. "

Kelller told Mr. Hyde all his findings.

Mr. Hyde pondered for a long while, he didn't know what it meant, but now is not the time to worry about this kind of thing, he ordered all of them to mount.

Everyone except Hess is heading for Surthburg.

When they passed the settlement of the mysterious prince who went out in the micro-service, it also turned into a pile of ruins.

All the horses pulling the cart are also gone. It seems that their choice is exactly the same as on their own.

The tranquility of the night was completely crushed by the noise of noisy horse hooves.

Running all the way, when dawn comes, most people are a little tired.

After all, time is not forgiving. The fierce fighting and the pommel horse running all night made the old man feel a little powerless.

As for Eckert, as a liar, his skill is undoubtedly quite good, but when it comes to real life and death, he is not even as useful as Ribo.

The same horse riding is his specialty, but that doesn't include riding a horse to drive the night in the dark. His untrained eyes were the only one of these people who could not find the right path in the dark night. Without Ted's support, Eckert would have fallen off his horse.

Ted is the most tiring of all people. With so much blood, Ted is already exhausted and has to pull Eckert along the way, all of which is enough for him to bother.

In fact, everyone except Ribo and Kyle was too tired. When the sky began to turn white and could see the trees in the distance dimly, Mr. Hyde ordered to stop and rest for a while.

Pour some clean water from the water sac to wash away the dust on the face. Riber, Eckert, and Mr. Hyde are restored to the image of noble and noble nobles, but their dusty clothes look a little desolate. A little bit.

Ted is preparing breakfast on the sidelines. It's his job.

Furthermore, apart from him and Mr. Hyde, everyone else’s cooking skills are really hard to compliment. You can’t let Mr. Hyde do it yourself. After breakfast, take a short rest, everyone set off again, and the next journey is still It's long.

"Head, change the horse. You ride that thoroughbred horse, and the horse walks smoothly," Ted said.

Mr. Hyde thought about it for a while and finally shook his head and said: "No, anyway, I will be able to reach Surthburg in the afternoon. Once there, Ribo will be the protagonist. Don't forget, this time you can only succeed and not fail."

"Mr. Hyde, this won't make any difference. I think it's better to do what Ted said? It's better to change the horse."

Ribbo said.

"No, Ruibo, obedient, although you are very smart, but your experience is far less rich than me and Eckert. You can't imagine that it will be a complete failure because of a small place. Any mistakes can be fatal, Ruibo, I want you to keep one thing in mind. You have to do everything the same as the real Ruibo, Byndit, and there can be no slightest. Deviation, all right, let's get on the horse." Mr. Hyde ordered.

The sound of horseshoes on Tong County Avenue in the Butter Forest once again started to start a swarm of birds on both sides of the road.

The speed of riding on horseback during the day is obviously much faster than that at night. Kyle was the first to clear the way, and Ruibo was in charge of the queen. Now the two of them are the most combative in this group.

Mr. Hyde lowered his body as much as possible, almost crawling on the saddle. For an old man like him, the oncoming wind made him a little breathless, and his heart was beating fast as if he was about to break free. The restraint of the chest jumped out, the legs tightly clamped on the saddle seemed completely numb, and the muscles on the waist seemed to gradually stiffen.

All this made the old man feel helpless.

I am indeed old.

When I was young, when I was young, I was riding a horse all day long. I never felt so powerless.

Countless long journeys, countless difficult journeys, countless escapes from the dead are already memories of the distant past for me.

Time is not forgiving. I am already a dead old man, an old man who can no longer bear the bumpy road.

It's time to retire.

Along the way, the old man endured the pain of his old body caused by the bumps in the road.

Maybe this will be his last long trip, maybe this will be his last adventure.

The road to Surthburg is not long, but in the eyes of a group of exhausted people, the road is too long, as if it is endlessly long.

Although people feel this way, the road will not become longer because of the feeling.

As the sun gradually set to the west, the gate of Searthburg finally appeared in front of everyone.

Ribo has never been to Surthburg.

Sarthburg is the capital of southern France and one of the several large cities in the entire Kingdom of France.

For this capital city, Ruibo was full of curiosity and yearning long ago.

From a distance, Searth Castle is like a fortress, a strong fortress.

Every few steps on the towering city wall, there is a two-meter-wide arrow pile, which is different from the fortress described in the book. There are no shooting holes on the outer wall of Searth Castle, and the entire city wall is It is made of huge blue stones.

In order to make up for the lack of defensive firepower, five huge three-story towers were built on each wall, and the towers were full of arrow holes.

Ribo followed Mr. Hyde and them, and rode slowly towards the city gate. The huge gate is more than three meters high, and the two door panels seem to be made of iron. However, according to the book, it is nothing more than a thick layer of iron and wood inside.

The real defensive function is the fence gate made of cast iron on the top of the city gate. It looks like it weighs at least two tons. No wonder there is such a big winch on the city gate. , Standing a team of guards, the iron helmets on their heads are the only armor on them that can really keep them alive, and the thick cotton robe is probably more decorative than defense.

These guards are embroidered with the Thorthburg emblem on their chests, and Ribo is very familiar with this pattern. Because that is also the emblem of the Medin family.

The wolf and the elk are painted on one shield, two animals that never stay together in nature.

The pattern of the shield is a black and blue diamond pattern, so the cloth robe worn by the soldier is also of this color.

Ribo felt that those soldiers were wearing such clothes, they looked a bit like clowns in a circus, but the clown clothes were usually white and red.

Sarthburg’s gate is already quite lively, and rows of houses are neatly built along the way from the gate to the edge of the forest. The houses do look a little rudimentary. Most of them are built of wood, and houses with bricks and tiles are rarely seen.

These houses face the side of the street, and they are all opened up and become pavements. This is not much different from Nangang. The downstairs must be a warehouse or a place where hired workers live.

However, unlike Nangang, the shops here sell daily necessities.

Chai, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans are the biggest business here.

Across the street, there came the roar of chickens, ducks, and pigs. Everyone who came out of the street was carrying vegetables, fruits, or chickens, ducks, and fish. It looked like there. It's a vegetable farm.

Perhaps because it was already afternoon, so the market didn't seem to be so crowded. The guys in the shop leaned on the counter and dozed off, and the shopkeeper was also gone. Maybe he went to the back to rest.

Ribo and his group of five people looked a little shabby. The night's fight made everyone except Kierle stained with blood. The blood and dirt were mixed together, and the mottled pieces were really mottled. Eye-catching. Although it was late autumn, Ted, Eckert and Mr. Hyde were sweating all the way.

The three of them looked tired, and Ted was even more pale. When he was on the road just now, the wound on his thigh was cracked again. The blood not only dyed the breeches completely red, but even The saddle was also covered with blood.

For such a group of people who want to enter the city, the guards must of course be vigilant.

Fortunately, although Mr. Hyde and Eckert looked embarrassed, their demeanor and outstanding demeanor made the guards know that they were definitely not easy even if they had no knowledge.

When Surthburg is not at war, there is no need to cross-check the entrance and exit of the city gate.

However, because the last heir of the Lord Lord was killed in Nangang, and the methods of those people were extremely cruel, the **** methods caused panic among everyone, plus, in order to participate in the memorial ceremony of the little heir, almost All the nobles of the south of France gathered in Surthbourg.

At this moment, there was a little accident that no one could afford. Therefore, for those who behave suspiciously, the guards at the gate of the city must conduct detailed investigations.

Mr. Hyde and the others, if they are not suspicious, then no one can have this title.

However, the guards are not stupid. There are old people and children in this group. Although they are covered with dust and blood, they are definitely not desperadoes, but more like rich businessmen who have been ransacked. If you don't do it well, you are still a nobleman, and these people can't be offended by themselves.

"Dear sirs, welcome to Surthburg. What happened to you along the way, can you tell me?" A slightly blessed officer ran over from the city gate, and he ran. Asked.

Ribo glanced at the officer. Although a wide round face is not fat, but he can no longer find his chin, his forehead is slightly flat, and his swollen eye sacs make him look like a The elderly.

As an officer, he wears a one-piece breastplate, a large copper basin helmet on his head, and fluffy ostrich feathers on the top.

"This is Keveele, Egrett. Lord Hyde, a bandit was encountered on the road and we were attacked." Mr. Hyde said.

"Bandits, oh, do you say there are bandits? It seems that the South is really not peaceful. They just killed an heir to a lord, and they started looting again along the way. Don’t worry, I will report to the military commander. Those The gangster will definitely be hanged on the gallows." The officer said with a smile on his face: "My lord, where are you going to go first? Should you report the case to the county guard house, or find a hotel to rest first? "

"I have to go to church first. One of my loyal servants was injured in this attack. Holy blessing is what we need most now." Mr. Hyde said.

The officer knew that the injured person must be Ted without any guidance, because the bloodless face and the blood dripping from the saddle could prove all this.

"Yes, yes, you can see that, your brave bodyguard, what you need most now is the treatment and adequate rest of the pastors. However, the pastors in the church may not have time to spare. , You don’t know, today is the last day of the Wake Up Day. It is related to whether our respected heir to the lord can ascend to heaven in peace. Moreover, the nobles living in Piton have just arrived, and they arrived just an hour before you. Here, I must be paying homage to the remnant now."

"The nobles of Piton? There is a Baron Ronna, are they here?" Mr. Hyde asked.

"Baron Ranna? Oh, yes, and his beautiful daughter. They came together. There are more than thirty carriages in total. The family of Baron Ranna is the most eye-catching." The officer smiled and replied: "They went straight to the church."

"Well, thank you, can we enter the city?" Mr. Hyde asked.

"Your lord, please" the officer saluted respectfully.

Ribo followed Mr. Hyde and rode into Sarthburg.

Passing through the city gate, the eyes suddenly open up. After all, Surthburg is a big city, although it may not be more prosperous than Southport, but in terms of momentum, Surthburg is much more magnificent.

There are countless buildings built around, not the two-story and three-story buildings that can usually be seen, but the real high-rise buildings.

The square full of statues is also something that Nangang rarely sees. For Nangang, where the land is as golden as an inch of land, it is unimaginable to vacate such a large piece of land.

Surthburg has many magnificent buildings made of marble, which are not found in other places. The most luxurious manor in Nangang and Lai is only made of bricks and stones, and marble floors are used at most. It's like Mr. Hyde's manor.

In addition to the completely different materials, these buildings are surrounded by exquisite sculptures. Although they are not perfect works of art, the value of these sculptures is probably not under the building itself.

Compared with Southport and Leigh, another distinctive feature of Surthburg is its long history.

The architectural styles of Francis VII or IX era can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.

Although it is undeniable that the most powerful period in the history of Francis was the era of Francis V. At that time, Francis almost ruled the world, but the wise and martial Majesty V was not in the culture Some achievements have been made.

And that Francis VI, who is known for his decadence in the history books, is undoubtedly a genius in many other fields, except that he is not a good king.

This genius created a climax in French culture in the next 100 years.

In the past hundred years, countless talented artists have appeared, and few of their achievements can surpass them.

The architectural art of the Franco VII period has since become an absolute reputation. Although many styles have been systematically preserved, there have never been so many magnificent buildings that can be remembered forever. .

Walking among these architectural complexes of different eras, looking at the artistic crystals created by these masters, Ruibo seems to have suddenly entered a long historical corridor. The great achievements of various historical periods are gathered on this long corridor.

Looking at all this, Ribo was deeply intoxicated.

Just as Ribo was deeply attracted by all of this, their destination, Searthburg Cathedral, appeared in front of him.

If there is one of the most magnificent buildings in Surthburg, it is undoubtedly this cathedral.

More than 3,000 columns carved from white marble surround the church, and each marble column has an angel statue carved at the bottom. The twenty-odd marble steps in front of the church extend no differently from a square.

The front of the church is a tower over ten meters high, and a huge mosaic glass window sill is installed on the side of the tower facing the square.

Although the gate of the church is not as wide as the city gate, it is about the same height.

There are many statues on both sides of the gate, which are definitely real works of art.

The most conspicuous place of the cathedral is far from the ten-meter-high tower, the most breathtaking is the magnificent dome.

The huge dome presents a perfect arc. The simple shape no longer needs any sculptures to decorate it. The huge dome itself is a stunning masterpiece.

Ribo now knows why many architects and artists have a soft spot for the dome?

Because this ingenious design can really give people a perfect feeling that is hard to tell.

Ribo was completely fascinated by all this. He stood at the door of the cathedral and lingered. If Ektra hadn't been holding him, perhaps he would have separated from the crowd long ago.

Entering into the cathedral, everything inside gives people a completely different feeling from the magnificent exterior of the church.

The main characteristic of the exterior of the cathedral is its majestic, simple and lively.

Walking inside, the first impression it gives is the splendor of the golden wall.

The whole hall is covered with gold leaf, which has also been carefully carved into beautiful patterns.

Countless marble statues are used to decorate this sacred hall, and all placed here are fine art.

The sunlight penetrated through the colorful mosaic glass windows, dyeing everything in the hall with beautiful colors.

From the roof of the house, the next golden sunlight shines straight. This sacred and solemn sight reminds Ruibo of the scene when he first met Teacher Masek, and the green root in the teacher’s laboratory. Compared with the beam of light.

This golden sunlight lacks that mysterious color, but has a more solemn atmosphere.

While Ruibo was immersed in this sacred and magnificent scene, he suddenly heard an exclamation in the distance: "Oh, my dear old friend, what's wrong with you? My God Ah."
