Chapter 44 Missing a daughter
Bang bang bang——
Gunshots were fired one after another, and every time the fire flashed, there was always a mob member who fell to the ground and hugged his knees at a loss.
Only when they fell did they notice that their knees had exploded.
The wounds were bruised with blood and bones, and even contrary to common sense, there was no pain at all, just numbness.
This feeling is more terrifying than being stabbed!
The most important thing is that with the protection of the nobles' guards, they were unable to break out and kill the guy. In just a few minutes, thirty or forty people on their side fell.
But there were almost no results. Every time a gunshot was fired, one person fell, and the interval between gunshots was not even more than three seconds.
If this continues, even if we fight all the people, we still won't be able to take down this group of people.
"retreat!"
The sound of a bell came from somewhere in the woods.
As soon as all the mob heard the sound, they hurriedly retreated and fled in all directions like crazy.
Colin did not give up the attack just because the opponent retreated. He emptied another round of magazines and left a few "Big Eater" followers before he stopped shooting.
After confirming their retreat, in the carriage convoy, the old butler turned his eyes to Colin, and his hand holding the cross sword tensed.
The straight line between the two sides is less than ten meters.
At this distance, if you use the Six Knight Skills, you can take down the person in just one second.
In his opinion, this attack was too coincidental. First, he encountered a group of suspected ambush from other nobles, and then there happened to be a friendly person with an unknown weapon to repel the enemy.
A little too fake.
But he couldn't guarantee that he could definitely win the opponent.
That metal weapon is too mysterious, although it seems to have obvious flaws. It seems that the person behind it cannot attack the object, and needs to fill in something after every six rings.
But he couldn't guarantee that this was a "loophole" that the other party could leave.
At this time, he saw the young lady waving her hand to signal not to take any action. The old housekeeper sighed and retracted his hostility.
"Has the hostility been suppressed for the time being? I thought there was going to be a show of cunning rabbits and dead lackeys."
Colin is now very sensitive to hostile sights, and he was sure that the old butler's eyes seemed to be locked on him long before the cooperation.
I even felt like taking action just now
Although I don’t know why I finally suppressed it.
But if there was a conflict, he wouldn't mind teaching the opponent how his kneecaps disappeared.
"Your Excellency, what are you going to do with these people?" Helena, who was wearing a hood, stood behind the protection of the guards and did not approach Colin rashly.
The reason for asking this is that what the other party asked for from the beginning was to capture him alive.
After thinking about it, Colin was not polite and asked them to tie up all these people.
There were more than twenty people in total.
"Now that we've caught him, what's next?"
Colin came to the group of prisoners with some confusion. The mission mentioned arresting people, but there seemed to be no further explanation.
But just as he looked puzzled, a transparent vortex appeared.
This time, it didn't suck everyone away. Instead, it felt like an invisible hand stretched out from the vortex and reached out to the group of captives.
Then, Colin saw that their expressions were dazed, as if they had been hammered.
But soon, the invisible hand retracted and the vortex disappeared.
"They didn't take people away. What did they do? Search their memories?"
Colin looked at these people curiously and noticed that except for their mental state, which seemed to have declined, they had no other symptoms.
As for the other people present, it seemed that they didn't notice Bonfire Company's actions at all.
Without thinking much, Colin turned around, faced everyone and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a signal source appear in his head——
Second employee!
But after a little awareness, Colin frowned and realized that something seemed wrong.
The employee's location is still a long way away.
There was no time to think deeply, and the other party who had never been in contact suddenly sent a message:
"Captain, I am Tang Ken who was resurrected in a place like an ancient town. I was just sent to a dungeon, and now I am pulled out and put into a prison van. They seem to be escorting me somewhere."
A town?
Colin was shocked in his heart. The signal was that he would be resurrected nearby, and the numerology book also mentioned that he would be resurrected nearby, but the result was that the person was not here.
Thinking like this, he glanced at the nobles suspiciously. Could it be that his intervention here caused another deviation in fate?
For example, the container that was originally resurrected by the opponent is not dead.
well.
The more Colin uses the "Book of Numerology", the more he feels the shortcomings of this thing. The future will change every time he knows the future.
No wonder both the forum and Miss Rabbit are saying try not to rely on the "book of fortune telling".
‘Forget it, no matter what, one more trip is for sure. ’
Colin sighed silently in his heart.
Without waiting for more thought, a female voice came: "Your Excellency, thank you for your help. I would like to ask if you can be our escort to Blackstone City."
After a pause, she added: "Of course, when I get there, I will pay you ten spoonfuls of first-grade refined gold as a corresponding reward.
"If you continue to be attacked, then I will pay more."
As she spoke, she confidently waited for the other party's consent.
As one of the most advanced and versatile ritual consumables in the mysterious world, gold is an absolute hard currency, and the amount of five spoons is enough to invite a second-tier expert to take action.
But what she didn't know was that Colin looked confused when he heard her words.
ten spoons? What unit is this? And what is first-level purified gold? A thousand pure gold?
Questions popped up in Colin's mind, but at this moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and he realized that "a spoonful" and "a tael" were about the same amount.
But for primary purification, I don’t quite understand what the specific standards mean.
In other words, are you willing to spend a pound of gold to ask me to take action? If I put it in the past, I would definitely work hard, but unfortunately, I am no longer the person I used to be.
Colin shook his head and rejected the other party's request:
"I have other things to do. I'm afraid if I don't go along with you, we won't be together."
After saying that, he didn't plan to delay too much and rushed towards the place where the signal was sent.
But after more than ten seconds, the figure disappeared from everyone's sight. However, looking at the direction he left, Helena and the old housekeeper had some inexplicably weird expressions.
"Will, if I remember correctly, that direction is Black Rock City, right?"
Not on the same road? Helena's tone was a little unconfident when she thought about Colin's words.
The old butler Will did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a map and looked at it, then turned around and looked around, and then nodded and replied: "Indeed, there is nothing wrong."
Helena was silent for a moment, and a voice came from under the hood: "Did our distress signal successfully pass through this time?"
"Successful." The old housekeeper added: "It is certain that those thugs had special means to seal this place just now.
"And that person just now"
"He should be fine. In that case, just follow him and have a look. I always feel that he and those people are not the same group."
Helena beckoned, and the others didn't say much, and the wagon convoy with only two or three disabled horses started to move again.
