Morning in the Tower of Swords

In a few years, enough sunlight and salty wind from Kiesta have corroded the decoration of the cafe, even if it is repainted, the change can still be seen, not to mention that the owner has changed during this period.

Hei then looked at the flower pots placed at the door. She might not know the ordinary decorative flowers, but one of the pots was the favorite special variety of the old shop owner's wife before she passed away. Every time Ceylon stopped to look at it before leaving For a while, Hei was extremely impressed by it.

Sure enough, the exotic flower is in full bloom just like a few years ago, and even the shape of the branches and leaves are still the same. No matter how perfect the other decorative details are restored, a bunch of living flowers cannot grow or fall for several years Bar?

Hei was startled, and immediately stretched out her hand towards the weapon in her side shoulder bag. The piano music in the background suddenly entered a passionate climax, but the moment her fingers touched the zipper of the shoulder bag, the music suddenly stopped. And stop.

It was only because the pianist stopped playing, turned around and stood up.

"Welcome to my opening ceremony, two beautiful ladies, my lord... have been waiting for a long time."

A slightly upturned mouth corner, a pale mask engraved with exquisite patterns, and a lean body under the white shawl and cloak, every movement seems to coincide with the silent rhythm and rhythm. Of course, the most important thing is the one who doesn't care about others' eyes A weird pistol exposed on the side of the waist.

At the first glance between the two sides, Hei had already confirmed the identity of this man. He was a colleague of his own, named - Killer.

"Stop talking nonsense! Who are you? What is your purpose!?"

Although they are colleagues, the two clearly show a completely different style of acting. Hei is a killing machine that has no emotion when performing tasks, and simplifies everything to the extreme. On the other hand, Jogo...

He's crazy, Kelsey has proof.

When Hei asked Qiao Ge, his hands had already assembled his sniper crossbow in an instant as if he had already set the program, loaded it, opened it, and aimed at it in one go, just waiting for the target in the sight to be killed.

"Oh! Although I have heard about Miss Hei's past deeds, I didn't expect you to be so boring and incomprehensible. I almost wasted a character script that should have been full of poetry. Maybe I should communicate with you in another way. ,for example……

Ride a children's tricycle and come to you slowly, say "I Want Play A Game"? "

It wasn’t Hei’s words that answered Jhogo, but a high-speed crossbow bolt passing by the side of his face. The sharp blade of the arrow left a scratch on the side of the mask. Warning, Hei doesn't take this at all.

But he didn't seem to care, his figure was still as stable as a green pine, he didn't even shake it, and even chuckled at Hei for a while.

"Hehehehehe~, don't worry, Miss Hei, my talent makes me unable to ignore your wasted talent, you will immediately understand what kind of art is beyond common sense, and you will know the true beauty !"

Jogo suddenly raised his pistol named Whisper and pointed it forward, but the muzzle of the gun did not meet Hei's gaze. The oppressive atmosphere and powerful momentum created by Jogo forced Hei, who had to fully awaken his killer instinct. It was only then that she suddenly realized that she was no longer a killer.

She is the bodyguard of the Dalkos family, and also shoulders the duties of the head of the Xista City Public Security Bureau. What's more, she is not carrying out the task alone, and there is the person she most wants to protect by her side.

"stop!!"

It's too late, although the equipment on Jogo's body can't increase the actual attack speed of his four bursts of whispers, but if we only talk about the drawing speed of the first shot, the reality is not limited by the animation of the model raising the hand in the game. How can a killer who can use his feet to catch up with the gangster's special escape vehicle be slow with his hands?

boom!

The bullets and the crossbow bolts were fired almost at the same time, and crossed in mid-air. Jogo's arm holding the gun was shot directly by the arrow, but when the flesh and blood exploded, it scattered into lavender smoke, and then the whole person disappeared in the same way. black eyes.

But Ceylon beside Hei was also pierced through the chest by a bullet, and no blood flowed from the piercing wound, which was as big as a bowl. Suffocating and painful beauty.

"Do not!!"

Just when Hei was distraught, and even gave up the calmness of the killer instinct in his heart for many years because he could not find the trace of Jogo, holding a bow and crossbow at random in the dark place in the cafe, when the screen turned, it was Another scene.

"Hei, Hei! Wake up, Hei!"

Ceylon hugged Hei who was unconscious on the cafe seat and shouted loudly, but he still couldn't regain his sanity. What about the nightmare skills of the ghost system?

In fact, Hei's spirit and will are very firm. Logically speaking, Mengxi, who was born less than half a year ago, can't trap Hei. After a small drama performance, Hei fell into a false dream and couldn't extricate himself.

However, it can't be regarded as completely false, at least Qiao Ge's own image is still played by himself, and Mengxi can't do such a delicate job.

"What did you do to Black!?"

In the plot without Dr. Qiao, she is a young lady who dared to go to Mount Kiesta alone to conduct geological surveys in a long dress and dress, and even fought wits and bravery with a group of origin stone insects, and was almost blacked out.

So the frank and idealistic Ceylon didn't seem to realize that she was the real target of the other party. Instead, she pointed the pointed end of the parasol in her hand at Jogo, who looked like a perverted killer in front of her, and shouted loudly.

"Miss Hei is just asleep. When she wakes up from this bizarre and absurd dream, some old things that bound her will be broken. Only in this way can she release her true self, not as a family member. vassal.

After all, the rivalry is the most exciting part of the whole performance, and I will strive for perfection in every detail until it is excellent! "

Jogo looked at the lady in front of him who was in danger and didn't know it, and even guarded Hei who was hypnotized by nightmares like an old hen, and carefully considered how to stab him to death with a high-end parasol It is also dumbfounding.

By the way, he is still not clear about the specific species of Ceylon’s distinctive birds, because there are indeed many birds that match the blue and white coat color in the vertical painting, and the most similar ones are probably the gray-blue tit, copper-blue flycatcher, blue There are three kinds of song robins.

Regardless of which one the textual research parties think is the most suitable for the setting, Jogo himself agrees more with the blue song robin, because it also has an alias... the black wife.

White Cuckoo:

Although the true master-servant relationship between Ceylon and Hei is very admirable and enviable, but at least you have to recognize your own level of strength, right?It seems that this inexperienced young lady has to go to the Rhodes Island Medical Department to practice.

"Don't worry, Miss Ceylon, I won't do anything to Miss Hei, but the premise is that you have to listen to the role I have arranged for you. Even if the core is a clichéd story of a brave man saving a princess, I can make it come true with my talent." Bloom a unique beauty, and, I have a reason you can't refuse."

Reasons that cannot be refused...have the ability to put down the gun in your hand before speaking.

Of course, Ceylon was not stupid enough to single out a killer who could knock Hei down without a sound. She made this gesture just to cover up her inner panic, and for now, she could only follow the opponent's wishes.

"It's impossible for me to sell anything about Zista, and I don't have any right to do so, but if you can let Hei go, I'm willing to be your hostage, and my father can pay a large amount of ransom."

As soon as Ceylon finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence like falling into an ice cave. Even the young lady who was not touching the sun suddenly became sensitive to the atmosphere, and realized that she might have stepped into a minefield.

Generally, in such a dangerous situation, it is indeed the right choice to temporarily express a willingness to cooperate with the kidnapper who is unable to resist. After fully demonstrating their own value and importance, normal people know how to choose.

That's right, "normal people" know it.

Today, I will let you, a young man, see what abnormal human beings are. Have you heard the story of Boqixing?In the second year of Yuanhe, adventurer Joe William, 48 years old...

"Do you know? You are not the first person to try to use a dead thing like money to measure my talent. A respectable old gentleman once said something similar. Do you want to know what happened to him afterwards?"

"...Is he dead?"

The pink bird feathers on the top of Ceylon's head were shaking like chaff. The handle of the umbrella slipped from her hand and she hurriedly squatted down to pick it up. Although she does know a little water-based combat origin stone spells, it needs to be used in conjunction with watery terrain. Unleash the power, otherwise, at most, it can only drench the other party through.

But this is not the shore of Lake Siesta, but a coffee shop. Perhaps the only way to do this is to blindfold yourself with hot coffee.

"No, an artist who pursues excellence will not use emotions to answer questions, so I smiled at him and made him and his relatives and friends my loyal fans with works full of screams. It didn't hurt anyone, it was just a show, it was suffocating."

Every cadence of Jogo’s crazy-looking but legendary fantasy seems to strike a dramatic melody out of thin air on the piano, making Ceylon feel as if he is on the stage of the resplendent Royal Victoria Opera House. Accepting the illusion of all the attention, he completely forgot the fear of shaking off the bird's feathers just now.

If it was the Great Chief Gavial with ordinary taste, she would not be confused by such rhetoric at all. Compared with some hairy performances, perhaps touching the fighting skills with Gavial with a hammer would make her happier.

But for Ceylon, an upper-class lady who has never seen the coldness of the world and is full of romantic and idealistic fantasies, she has an extremely fatal attraction.

From this time on, Jogo's image in Ceylon's eyes has gradually changed from a vicious, greedy and bloodthirsty killer to the type of Rogue Zorro.

May I ask which chick in the boudoir has not imagined such a plot?Break away from all the rules and common sense that you observe in daily life, exercise your inner justice where laws and axioms cannot touch, and use swords and roses to cast a romantic epic that spreads on Terra.

"I will use the same method to prove to you that no price tag can measure my talent! No poem can match my work!

Miss Ceylon, I sincerely invite you to help me make it beyond the peak, this is my carefully prepared repertoire for you, Kiesta deserves some purer artistic taste, and you, will be beautiful. "

Ceylon, who was immersed in it, was full of longing for fantasy, and she didn't even notice that Jogo had slowly walked in front of her at this time, gently took the only parasol in her hand that could be used as a weapon, and put the other hand on the on her cheek.

Without a single shot, her defenses were completely removed.

If Hei Xing saw this scene awake, he must have dropped the sniper crossbow and stretched out his claws to scratch Jogo's face in a hurry.

Fortunately, Qiao Ge is not fond of the tauren. He is just using the most appropriate way to select the actors he likes, and at the same time, he is also maximizing their potential...or acting skills.

------------------------------------------------

"Damn it, how can troubles happen one after another at this time!"

Bai Gugu... Ah, that's not right, it's Mayor Siesta's personal assistant, Cronin, cursing secretly in the office at the moment, and he has a good reason to say this because he is planning to get the mayor from the mayor. Li seeks to seize the entire Kiesta.

To be precise, it is an obsidian mine built on the ruins of Siesta.

Obsidian is a gemstone formed by the unique geological environment of the Kiesta volcano. In the early days of the establishment of the Kiesta tourism industry, the city’s fiscal revenue was once dominated by the trading profits of obsidian and its products. The Obsidian Music Festival is a legacy of that period. repertoire.

However, it was later discovered that over-exploitation would destroy the volcanic ecology here, so Herman completely banned obsidian mining. Anyway, the booming tourism industry has been able to stir up the financial burden, and there is no need to kill chickens to get eggs.

But Cronin was not reconciled, because when Herman was obsessed with planning and building the paradise in his deceased wife's mind, he was the head of the obsidian mining industry, and the oil and water in it were enough to risk being hung on a street lamp.

Now Cronin only has the title of assistant to the mayor left, and a natural disaster messenger function similar to a weather forecaster. The sum of the two salaries is not as good as the previous croissant. How can he accept this?

So he had a bad heart, and secretly colluded with V3 Industrial Company, which was in charge of mining obsidian, not only secretly digging obsidian behind Herman's back, but also deliberately destroyed the key nodes of the volcano, in order to make Mount Kiesta out of control.

According to Cronin's professional calculations, the Obsidian Festival one and a half months later is when the volcano erupts. When Mayor Herman and tourists are submerged by the erupting lava, the bustling Kista is just like Chernoborg. Become a dead city in ruins, he can swallow the wealth of obsidian without restraint.

But at this time, Rhode Island, who is said to have a very high-quality armed man and has won a large-scale battle, came to join in the fun. Not to mention, before he could come up with a countermeasure, Herman's daughter Ceylon was arrested again. people were kidnapped.

This forced Cronin to devote a lot of energy to arranging rescue matters for Herman. After all, he was still the mayor's personal assistant, so he couldn't be passive and sabotage at this time to arouse Herman's suspicion.

"Wait, maybe I can... kill two birds with one stone?"

Money touches people's hearts, even when they are busy, the inspiration for making money can flash. Cronin suddenly realized that if Ceylon has not been rescued successfully, Herman will definitely not want to negotiate a contract with Rhodes Island, and he will not There will be time to investigate what he and V3 are secretly doing to the volcano.

As long as it is delayed until the day when the volcano erupts, all worries will disappear with the volcanic ash.

"I don't know if this kidnapper is reliable or not. How about I find a way to buy him with money? No, it's too risky. We should first quietly rescue the young lady, and then... I will kidnap her myself!"

Since he thought of a good idea, he immediately acted on it. Cronin immediately called the president of V3 Industry and told him all about his ideas. However, this was not a discussion with the other party, but an order.

Cronin invested almost all the money he earned in the past into the V3 industry. He said that the two parties were in collusion. In fact, the V3 industry has been fully controlled by him. The status quo of the volcano has been formed. Liquidated by Herman, there was no turning back for him.

"Be sure to find them before the Public Security Bureau! It would be best if the kidnappers and the young lady can be controlled together. If it doesn't work, kill the kidnappers, but the young lady must be caught alive! What? Of course it was disguised as their gang's infighting The scene! Didn't you call yourself a professional before, and you still need me to teach you?"

The president of V3 Industry on the other end of the phone had a hard time. What he said was professional in company operations and decision-making. Which company’s president specialized in covering up the murder scene? !

However, Cronin understood the plan very clearly when he told him. Indeed, there are still many uncertain factors in the past one and a half months, but as long as the mayor Herman's attention is deliberately held back, he must first attack the mocking The entourage is basically guaranteed.

As for the price to be paid, it was probably only dozens of lives. Herman must have gone crazy at all costs in order to save his daughter, and many armed conflicts would definitely break out during this period.

The only difference is how much these human lives are worth. The lives of mercenaries are very cheap, but Cronin specifically explained that mercenaries cannot be used because he doesn't trust those who are blind to money. Maybe they will secretly use Ceylon to follow him Herman exchanged a high ransom.

Therefore, we can only use V3 Industry's own fighters. This team was cultivated with the money invested by Cronin. The armed forces came together from inside to outside to forcibly capture Kiesta.

And using these fighters at this time can be regarded as "making the best use of them".

"It's good to understand, my hands and feet here can't be too obvious, but I can tell the dynamics of the Public Security Bureau at any time..."

Just as Cronin was discussing the details with the president of V3, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the office, causing Cronin to hang up the phone. Door.

However, there was no one outside the door. Even if Cronin poked his head out to look around, he couldn't see anyone. Confused, he thought that he was too nervous just now and misheard, so he closed the door again, and turned around to pick up the personal phone Re-dial to V3 Industrial President.

But the second he stretched his hand towards the table, a sharp and icy object touched the back of his head, scaring Cronin into a hair... shrinking into an owl stick.

Cronin didn't dare to look back, but with the reflection on the window glass, he probably recognized the identity of the person behind him?

"Hei, Miss Hei? Why are you here, Mr. Mayor has been looking for you!"

"...I didn't protect the lady well, and I didn't have the face to meet the master, but I will definitely rescue the lady safely, even at the cost of my life!"

The person behind Cronin holding a crossbow arrow against his head is Hei himself. Although Hei is a sniper now, she was trained to assassinate at close quarters before, not to mention that she is also clear about the security arrangements of the city hall.

So relying on the naturally agile and light body of the Filin tribe, Hei easily sneaked in front of Cronin's office door, used the classic trick to get people to open the door, and then hung on the ceiling to use the blind spot to enter the interior.
