Demon Royal Family
Chapter 21 Come and finish this bowl of thick dog blood
The mercenaries were making a mess and making noise. Ivo tightened his hood and covered his face, with doubts in his eyes. Nafi's family identified him as the kidnapper, but where did the information come from?
"How strong is the kidnapper?" A mercenary asked loudly. This is what most people think. To rescue the eldest lady of the Linches family, you must at least know the strength of the kidnapper. The unknown makes people hesitate. If the kidnapper is too strong, No one wants to die.
"At least let us know his height, build, and whether he is alone or with a team."
People were talking and noisy, and the sky was raining heavily. The rough mercenaries who were talking exhaled hot breath, which turned into white heat mist in the rain curtain. The rain wet their clothes and blurred their vision. In this case, No one found out that Ivo in the crowd was the target of the reward.
The captain of the Shilin Town Guards stood up and said loudly: "Don't make any noise, everyone, we have sufficient information."
Hearing this, dozens of mercenaries fell silent. The captain of the guard took out a translucent white crystal, the size of a fist, a bit like a large piece of rock candy. In the center of the crystal, there was a floating thick ink-colored fog, "A person passing by by chance A mage recorded what happened using water shadow, and made it into a water shadow stone and sent it to the Lynches family."
Water Shadow Technique is a water spell that records scenes, similar to video. The scenes recorded by the Water Shadow Technique are stored in an alchemical stone called the Water Shadow Stone. The Water Shadow Stone is like a CD in the past life, which can display the recorded scenes multiple times, and is also called the "Video Stone".
The water shadow stone in the guard captain's hand turned into a pool of liquid. The liquid floated in the air and turned into a water mirror the size of two people. The thick ink in the mirror entangled and spread, gradually forming a black and white scene, which began to play.
The recorder was relatively far away and could only see roughly, and the water shadow technique did not preserve the sound, so it was like watching a mime.
Ivo's figure and the carriage appeared in the mirror. At this time, Ivo was struggling to kill the enemy. The enemy was the rebellious guard. However, in the eyes of others, these guards were all guards of Gregor City...
Ivo was horrified. The water shadow technique was taken out of context and without sound, but it became the strongest evidence to slander him as a kidnapper.
Sure enough, the scene in the mirror was processed, without Nafi's help. When the last guard was killed by Ivo, the scene ended abruptly.
Those rebellious guards turned out to be pawns used to frame the case.
"This is the video of the kidnapper's murder."
The mercenaries were relieved and laughed loudly: "The strength is very average."
"Don't worry, if the kidnapper only has this ability, he will be dead."
"Hey, don't grab it, the bounty is mine!"
Ivo ignored the teasing of these mercenaries, walked back to the room quickly with his head lowered, and told Nafi the matter. The wizard looked anxious: "How could this happen? We need to return to the Linches family as soon as possible to explain to our father."
Ivo calmed down and said calmly: "There is something fishy about this matter. The person recorded by the water shadow technique cannot be a mage who 'passed by by chance'. It must be the follow-up method of the person behind the scenes. The traitorous guard failed to attack and kill, but obtained Evidence that framed me as a kidnapper, issued a reward in the name of the Lynches family, and asked mercenaries to hunt me down. Does the enemy know that if I die, you will die too? Could it be that old man Cohen revealed the contract..."
Xiaodai appeared and said angrily: "It can't be Master Cohen!"
Ivo thought about it too. If Cohen wanted to deal with him, he could do it in the Wizard Tower.
Ivo had a bad impression of Cohen. Although Ivo did not express his thoughts about being under house arrest in the Wizard Tower on the surface, he was actually very angry inside. He was imprisoned and freed when his strength was low. Ivo knew how to deal with the absolute gap in strength. Forbearance, I have already made a note to Cohen in my heart.
"If you don't know the contract, then why did you make me a kidnapper? What's the point?" Ivo felt his mind was in a mess and moved anxiously. Logically speaking, no one would deal with him.
Ivo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Confirming that I have become a kidnapper means that you have been kidnapped, a man and a woman, and married... They have at least one purpose, which is to ruin your reputation and destroy the marriage."
Nafei's body trembled, and she thought along this line of thought, with an angry and embarrassed expression on her face, "So that's it, the eldest lady of the Lynches family has been kidnapped, and there is a possibility of being tainted. It is impossible for the Gold family to be with a... ...Marriage!" At this point, Nafei was so angry that she was trembling. Although she didn't care about marrying for the benefit of the family, a woman couldn't bear to have her reputation slandered.
The enemy's intention was very clear, which was to destroy the marriage. Ivo cursed secretly: "The damn conspiracy between nobles, another such bloody story."
In fact, almost every marriage between big nobles will involve a series of sabotage and calculations. The dangers Nafi encounters are all game tactics between big nobles. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Nafei was a little panicked, thinking about a solution. Ivo's mind was spinning quickly and he said: "But old man Cohen brought me back to the Wizard Tower. No one knows about it, so in the eyes of the people behind the scenes, I just happened to be a guard." Your scapegoat. We have a life force sharing contract. As long as we can return to the Lynches family alive, plus old man Cohen, the three of us can explain, and the kidnapping theory can be overturned. "
The goal of the people behind the scenes is to destroy the marriage. Ivo has doubts. He believes that as a large aristocratic family, the Gold family cannot be the kind of family that follows what others say and follow the crowd. As long as the theory of kidnapping is overturned and the truth is known, Rumors become rumors, and the Gold family will still choose a marriage that puts interests first, so it is not safe to destroy the marriage through this. The safest thing is only the dead.
Ivo reasoned: "The enemy's main goal is to kill us. The water shadow stone is also a means for the person behind the scenes to use a knife to kill people. The mercenary is his 'knife', in order to kill us and shirk responsibility."
Nafei murmured: "Killing someone with a borrowed knife? This is a good metaphor."
"The person behind the scenes sent a killer to kill you and me, and then blamed it on the mercenaries afterwards. It was a sideways method to ruin your reputation. This way, even if we are not killed, it can still affect the marriage."
The traitorous guards framed her, spread rumors, confirmed the fact of kidnapping and ruined Nafi's reputation, and finally used a bounty to kill people without exposing themselves. In this way, the enemy's conspiracy behind the scenes became clear.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife, killing without bloodshed, the people behind the scenes are really planning, Ivo is secretly angry, put the blame on me, do you think I am easy to bully?
For the current plan, it is best to return to the royal capital as soon as possible to explain and use the power of the Nafei family to find the enemy.
Putting on their hoods, the two hurriedly left the hotel despite the heavy rain, exited the town from the east entrance, and entered the banyan forest.
At the east entrance of Shilin Town, a mercenary leaning against the wall raised his eyelids. There was a vertical scar on his left eye. His eyes followed the backs of Ivo and Ivo as they hurriedly left, and a cold light flashed through them.
Behind him, seven mercenaries in leather armor stood silently, wearing standard equipment, carrying short bows and arrows, with broad-bladed swords tied to their left waist, and hand axes tied to their right waist. Their faces were carved out of the same mold, without any trace of emotion. His expression, with a cold murderous look flashing in his eyes, looked more like a regular soldier with strict orders than a mercenary.
The Scar mercenary said indifferently: "Chase, no one alive."
…
Ivo and Nafi staggered in the muddy forest land. The humus was very sticky under the water of the rain, like puddles of mud, covering their boots.
"The heavy rain is causing trouble." Ivo sighed, and he was about to walk out of the banyan forest. The trees around him were much sparser.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A dangerous premonition suddenly appeared in Ivo's heart. He immediately turned around and put one hand around Nafei's slim waist, dragging the sorcerer behind him. He held the war spear in his other hand and shook his wrist, making a shadow of the spear. After a few sounds, several sneak attack arrows were shot down. The force on the arrows made Ivo's wrist numb. An arrow grazed his cheek, and blood stains slowly appeared.
Ivo took Nafei and hid behind a banyan tree, turning his head to look at the place where the arrow was shot.
Eight mercenaries came out. Seven leather-armored mercenaries holding short bows were the attackers.
The leading mercenary wore a suit of heavy armor. Cold iron light circulated on the armor. Horizontal stripes were all over the heavy armor, which looked very hard. The heavy-armored mercenary had a scar on his left eye and was wearing iron The gloved hand held a huge steel sword and looked towards this side coldly.
There is murderous intent.
Ivo's heart sank. This group of mercenaries didn't seem to be here to save people. The scarred man exuded an aura that made Ivo feel dangerous.
Ivo clenched the war spear in his hand and whispered: "It looks like we are going to fight to the death."
(Believe me, the noble conspiracy is just a small branch line that leads to subsequent developments and will not occupy too much space. I can’t stand too much nonsense... Ivo’s development and adventure are the main theme.)
