"..." When Virgil heard this, he paused in his eating of bread. Then he swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked, "What did you just say?"
"I said, my daughter..." At this time, Jenny also thought of something and hurriedly covered her mouth. "Look at me, I miss her so much that I even forget her gender."
"That's it..." Virgil nodded when he heard this, silently remembering this matter in his heart.
No wonder Master Leeteuk is so dependent on Master Orson...
"So, has anyone been shopping at your place frequently recently?"
"Ah, yes." Jenny nodded after hearing this. "More and more people have moved here recently. Our store opened earlier, so there are more regular customers and regular customers around."
"Okay." Virgil nodded after hearing this. "I will come back this afternoon to get two loaves of bread. I want freshly baked bread then. Please make a reservation with the boss for me."
"Okay." Jenny agreed after hearing this.
Then, Virgil walked out of the bakery.
Then, he walked to the hotel next to him, opened a room there, and stayed there.
After that, he didn't go out until the afternoon, when he came again to get bread.
At night, Andre and his wife closed the door of the bakery and rested upstairs.
"Andre." Jenny returned upstairs and placed a bowl of mushroom soup on the dining table.
"What's wrong?"
Andre looked at Jenny with some confusion.
"The young man with blue hair today is the one who came to get the bread in the afternoon."
"Ah, I've seen him before. He's quite nice. What's wrong?"
"I feel something is wrong." Jenny said this, expressing her worries.
"He came to me this morning and asked about what was going on in our family. I accidentally told the story about Li Te."
"Tell me, he couldn't be someone sent by the Duke, right?"
"What did you say to him?"
"I told you that Lite comes from a girl's family and went to a wealthy family for fear of being bullied."
"Oh, you idiot!" Andre said, getting angry. "Didn't you say you wanted her to disguise herself as a boy? Why did you give her up now instead?"
"The main thing is that they didn't come to ask about Li Te at first, they just asked if we had any children..." With that said, Jenny recounted the scene at that time.
"It's okay, Andre, it's okay." Jenny said. "What if I'm not from the Duke's side?"
"Besides, I heard that Li Te is doing well in the Duke's family. Her family members are very kind to her. Even if the Duke finds out, it shouldn't be a problem."
"I know this, but you still shouldn't tell it!" Andre sighed helplessly.
"Oh, I know you may think this is nothing, but if the Duke suddenly gets angry and asks why we lied to them in the first place, how should we reply?"
“Oops…” Jenny became a little anxious when she heard this. "Isn't it because the old housekeeper brought it up first? If he hadn't said that Lit was a boy, we wouldn't have thought about it..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
"It's strange, who comes here in the middle of the night." Andre said this and walked downstairs.
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent.
"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush it." With that said, he opened the door.
After opening the door, there was no one at the door.
"Damn it." Andre stuck his head out and looked around, finding no one.
At this time, Jenny’s voice also came from the stairs.
"Andre, what's wrong?"
"There was a knock on the door just now, but I opened the door and saw no one outside." With that said, Andre turned back.
And at that moment, he felt a huge force coming from the back of his head, and then he fainted.
Jenny heard the movement at the door and walked faster, and then she saw Andre fainting at the door and a man in black behind Andre.
"Then...that, who are you...why are you..." Jenny panicked for a moment, and then she saw the man in black getting closer and closer. Just as she was about to call for help, she was knocked unconscious.
"Take them away." Behind Jenny, a masked man suddenly appeared. The masked man said this and motioned to the man in black at the door to take them away.
Then, several more people appeared at the door. After taking Jenny and Andre away, the masked man went upstairs, turned off the lights, and created the illusion that the two of them had fallen asleep. Then he walked out of the bakery and sat on the Got the carriage.
Just as a few people walked several miles outside the city, suddenly, dozens of people appeared in front of them, blocking the way of the carriage.
The person at the head is surprisingly the same person today
Go ahead and check out Virgil.
"I wonder which duke these people are employed by?" Virgil said, looking at the masked man on the horse with a smile. "He doesn't even dare to show his true face. It seems he's afraid that we will recognize him."
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." The masked man said this, looking at Virgil with a stern expression.
"Would you like to think about whose territory you are in now?" Virgil said, waving, and then, the soldiers behind him surrounded the carriage.
"..." The masked man looked at the surrounding situation in silence.
Although this group of soldiers looked well-trained, he was able to break through with his sixth-level strength.
But in this case, the mission to capture Andre and his wife would be considered a failure.
With this thought in mind, the masked man locked his gaze on Vergil. Then, his body bounced out like an arrow from the string, and he quickly rushed towards Vergil.
Unexpectedly, when Virgil saw this, he just took out the sword from his waist, and then swung it gently to deflect the planned blow. Although he did not completely block it, it also deflected the blow from its direction. .
The moment the masked man took action, all the men in black in the carriage came out and took out their weapons to confront the surrounding soldiers.
Although they are not as powerful as the sixth level, they still have the strength of the third and fourth levels, and they still have some advantages when facing large numbers of soldiers.
With this in mind, they took action decisively.
Seeing that there was already fighting on the side, the leaders of the two parties certainly would not sit still and wait for death. Seeing that a single blow could not be achieved, the masked man lowered his body and carefully searched for Virgil's flaw.
But Virgil didn't care that much.
Although he looks personable and courteous on the outside, everyone who knows him knows what he really looks like in combat.
He stepped directly towards the masked man.
Seeing that he was extremely fast and seemed to be no weaker than himself, the other party quickly dodged back.
However, Virgil pursued him fiercely, not wanting to let the masked man escape at all.
In desperation, the masked man could only hold the dagger in his hand, trying to resist Virgil's stormy attack.
The moves are sharp and the sword steals souls.
But similarly, under the crazy offensive, Vergil's own flaws were exposed. If the masked man could be stronger, he might be able to seize the flaws and quickly end the battle.
It's a pity that Vergil's fighting method is almost invincible among his peers.
"Tsk, do you want your life?" Seeing that Virgil was working harder than him, the masked man became anxious for a moment.
He could see that although the men he had brought with him were of good strength, they fell into decline in an instant when they were trapped in the army. If he did not get out as soon as possible, he would probably die inside when others surrounded them.
Then, he heard a scream.
A subordinate he brought with him was surrounded by soldiers, and then he was unable to fight with four hands and was chopped to the ground.
Something was wrong, and neither was the soldier Virgil had brought.
In general, among the levies of the empire, the strength of the soldiers is mostly around the first level to the first level. After all, they are farmers recruited temporarily. The difference lies in their usual physique. The more powerful regular army is mostly a The second level is the most powerful one in the regular army, and most of his subordinates are third and fourth level people. They are relatively good adventurers in the Adventurers Association. Facing the enemy The siege should be able to be delayed for a while, but the current situation...
Not long after the fight, a large number of people had already fallen here. The opponent obviously did not look like an ordinary regular army.
"You guessed it right." Virgil could see the masked man's thoughts at a glance. "What I have brought is the black army that Duke Lucius has been fighting for many years. The lowest soldiers have the strength of the third level. I'm sorry, you are going to be defeated here today."
As Virgil finished speaking, more and more screams came, and soon he was the only one left on the battlefield.
The masked man wanted to escape, but Virgil kept stalking him, and he couldn't escape at all.
Other soldiers gradually began to join the battle. If you delay for a while, you will definitely die.
Thinking this, the masked man became cruel and stabbed Virgil in the shoulder at the risk of his life.
Virgil did not flinch and slashed at the masked man's arm with his sword.
Subsequently, one of the masked man's hands was chopped off, and a deep bone-visible wound was made on Virgil's shoulder.
After that, the masked man no longer struggled with Virgil, but took a few steps out on the carriage, avoiding the surrounding black army, and escaped into the nearby bushes alone.
(PS: I originally wanted to get up during the day to code, but I don’t know whether it was the return of tide or some other reason. I went to bed at half past midnight and woke up at 12 o’clock today. I had lunch in the afternoon and prepared to code, but my head was very dizzy again, so I slept until I didn’t have the energy until five o’clock, and I barely managed to encode it in 4K. I hope you don’t dislike it. My original plan was to finish this part of the story, but now I can only stop here.)
(Then there is the matter of overdue updates and repayments. I have updated a total of about 107K words since the beginning of January. According to the daily standard of 3K updates, today on the 13th should be 39K, which means I have added about 68K words. Then the previously set reward is 10,000 reward or 100 monthly tickets plus 2K words, cut off So far, there are a total of 20,000 in rewards and 1,700 in monthly votes, which translates to 38K words. Even if last month’s Yandi is included in the 20K, I still added 10K more. Of course, I’m not asking for rewards or anything. I can’t do 4K in a day. Qualification request, just saying that I am really not lazy, I am working hard to complete the reward)
(In addition, the main text of this chapter is 4K words, and there is no extra charge for the extra PS)
Chapter 92: Side Effects (7K)
Seeing the masked man running into the woods with his hands covered, Virgil just waved his hand and ordered the soldiers not to pursue him.
"Send the people back first." Virgil said.
"Sir Virgil, the wound on your shoulder..." At this moment, a soldier came over and asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter." Virgil shook his head, then took the clothes of a man in black, tore them into strips of cloth, and then wrapped them around his shoulders.
"Just deal with it simply."
At this moment, Virgil suddenly discovered that the man in black whose clothes he had torn off had a wolf head tattooed on his left arm.
Then, he ordered all the men in black to take off their clothes. Without exception, all of them had wolf heads tattooed on their arms.
Even the masked man's arm that Virgil severed has a wolf head tattooed on it.
It seems that this should be a professional mercenary organization that was hired by others to capture Li Te's adoptive father and mother. As for what they were doing to capture them, there is no way of knowing.
It's not that they are unwilling to catch people alive, but once these people lose their ability to fight, they will bite off the poison sacs originally held in their mouths and drink the poison to commit suicide.
After checking several corpses and finding that there were no other problems with their bodies, Virgil nodded.
Then, he opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Andre and Jenny lying unconscious inside.
"Alas." Virgil sighed.
If it weren't for Li Te, they would still be living a life of farmers in the countryside. Although they are not rich and powerful, they can even be said to be very poor, but at least their lives are not in danger.
"Okay, send the people back, and I'll negotiate with them later."
With that said, Virgil got on his horse, turned the horse's head, and led the soldiers towards the new city of Antica.
…
On the other side, the masked man turned over and entered the woods. Although his left arm was cut off, he still endured the severe pain in his body and walked deeper into the forest.
"Tsk, why were our actions discovered... is there a spy in the middle?" He thought without looking back.
They are members of the mercenary organization Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. Although there are countless mercenary groups with the word "wolf" on the mainland, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, which can have sixth-level experts, is obviously the best among them.
Moreover, he is not the boss of the mercenary group, only the second in command.
The real leader of the mercenary group has seventh-level strength.
However, in this mission, the leader felt that leading the team himself was a bit of a fuss. After all, he was just kidnapping two helpless people.
But the other party kept asking the team leader to pay attention. In desperation, they had no choice but to send him to lead the team.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, and he didn't make preparations until the client asked him in every possible way, including checking out the surrounding areas a week in advance and planning the best escape route.
But I didn't expect that even though I had made so many preparations, I would still be discovered by the Duke's people.
It was obvious that the other party was just Li Te's adoptive parents, and it should be enough for the Duke to give them a sum of money to settle them down. Unexpectedly, the Duke would actually arrange for someone to protect their safety.
In this way, not only did he lose a lot of money to his brothers, but he also almost lost money in it.
Now the masked man only regrets that he did not listen to the client. If the plan had been more thorough and the actions more careful, this incident would not have happened.
