Guild Boss's Ambition

I cut off her head, ended her life, and put an end to her words.

But Miss Lan Nong's face was already pale.

At this point, her expression told all the truth.

It was not Xiaoban who killed the intruder, but Miss Lannong herself, who lied to us.

I patted her head and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, you did the right thing. If you don't kill them, they will come and kill you, so you have to protect yourself and stop killing with killing."

Unfortunately, Miss Lannong was abnormally silent. She just calmly took off the cloak of the knife thrower and took off the rest of her clothes until only her upper body was left with a piece of underwear.

"Yelina...Mary Susan..."

The little girl read out the two names softly, then covered the knife thrower's body with her cloak, then looked into the distance on the road, where there was a running horse, and on the saddle was a minotaur swordsman. When the knife thrower was fighting desperately, he had already ridden his companion's horse and escaped alone in the chaos. He could be considered a qualified villain who was unkind and unjust.

After a while, just as the horse was about to disappear, a dark beam of light hit the minotaur on the horse.

The source of the beam of light was on the third floor of the old woman's house.

I think it should be Bai Ye's finger of death.

If she wakes up, then the battle will truly be over.

……

40. Unlucky Ghost (Little Blue)

Ulu-Lan Nong

In the darkness, a shadowy figure fell from his horse and landed on the ground.

I turned around and looked, only to see a black-haired girl standing on the balcony of the top floor facing the wind. She was dressed in black, and only the bone pendants emitted an eerie green glow in the moonlight. She smiled at us and gently jumped off the balcony, letting the wind, shadow and earth stretch out their invisible hands to catch her steadily, so that she would not lose herself due to fall.

She walked up to me and gave me an appreciative smile: "You did a good job this time too."

I originally hid her in the closet on the first floor, and since she jumped from the third floor, she must have seen the disgusting scene on the second floor and knew what a terrible thing I had done.

It was such a terrible thing, but I was praised.

Life is ridiculously fragile.

But the gods chose to pour such rich and poetic love and hatred into such a tortured body.

If stones can sing and trees know how to taste delicious food, then humans are the worst failures.

I hate death, I hate losing, I hate the fact that a star falls into the night sky before I have discovered its beauty.

“Is the world incomplete?”

I asked in a low voice and they responded at the same time.

“We are all incomplete.”

“The world is still unknown.”

I glanced at the knight and the wizard, and for a moment I couldn't tell their voices and responses. It was as if they were expressing the same opinion with the same thoughts and different words. Just like my initial intuition, at this moment, I deeply felt that there was indeed a close similarity between the two of them - although similar, they were also very different.

Not a word.

At this time, Xiaoban had brought back the dead minotaur and put it on the ground.

Even without Bai Ye's command, it knew this time to bring the carcass of the prey back to its owner, just like the talking minotaur and the three geese were the same, just like all lives are truly equal and the same.

Cats and dogs are both terrifyingly honest and terrifyingly simple.

Bai Ye examined the body that Xiao Ban brought back, and finally found a silver name tag from the neck of the minotaur. The words Locke and IV were written on the name tag. A name tag like this could also be found on another dead person.

"Oh, the God of Light!"

Suddenly, Raftan, who went to the front of the house to check on the old woman, cried out. We turned around and looked at her, and saw a sad expression on her face. Seeing this, Bai Ye and I looked at each other, and we both understood the bad premonition in each other's eyes. So, we temporarily left the body of the Minotaur aside and went to provide the final service for the righteous man who had risked his life to help us.

Raftan lowered his eyes solemnly and said calmly, "Her body has been weak for many years, and coupled with the excessive grief just now, she suffered a stroke just now. When I came to her side, she was no longer breathing and her heart was no longer beating."

I cast expectant eyes towards the white night.

Bai Ye shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know how to revive the dead. The dead can only move in a dead posture. If she had the desire to become a ghoul before she died, then I can operate on her. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules you gave me. Besides, her soul has already returned to the reincarnation of the goddess of life and death, so I have no way to turn her into a ghoul now."

Hearing that there was no room for maneuver, Raftan put down the old woman's body and collected her son's remains. Then he took out a purse and walked towards several townspeople who were watching the fight in the next house. He talked to them for a long time, and finally handed the purse to one of them before turning back to Bai Ye and me.

Raftan had a serious expression, and his tone was cold and burning: "They said they would help us deal with the funeral of the old woman and her son. The dead are gone, but the matter of the Marching Wolves has not been resolved, and the people who caused this bloody disaster have not received the judgment they deserve. We can't just stay here and grieve, and we can't allow more accidents to happen, resulting in other innocent casualties!"

At the end of her words, she turned her gaze to Bai Ye, and at this time Bai Ye really wanted to explain the whole story.

The reason why she suddenly fell into a coma earlier.

Bai Ye rarely showed a bitter smile, and took out a flask of blue liquid from the space ring: "You should have some impression of this drink, right? I drank a glass of it in front of you this morning. It is not a poison, and there is no precedent of it making people faint. But if we observe it with the eyes of truth, we will find one of its side effects."

I looked at the blue flask with my true eye.

Colorful Blue Tranquilizing Potion (Special Effect): This is a secret recipe carefully developed by the Necromancer. It tastes sweet and delicious, and can instantly restore 25% of the user's mental strength. Therefore, it is very suitable for workers who like to work all night long. The only dangerous negative side effect of this drug is that there is a 1/1617824623428764114142 chance of causing coma for half a day to a day.

With a frozen expression, I read out the results of the appraisal spell to Raftan word for word.

After hearing about the effects of the potion, Miss Paladin looked around at the corpses on the ground, sighed and said, "How come such an impossible probability happened to us? Am I really a disaster that brings disaster to others everywhere? From childhood to adulthood, the environment where I stayed would get worse and worse, with either death or bankruptcy, and now..."

Seeing Raftan suddenly complaining about himself, Bai Ye interrupted him in a cold tone and said, "Are you stupid? So-called luck and miracles do not exist. The reason why something impossible happens is because it is possible. The fact is that I drank the potion and happened to hit that extremely small probability, and this is the price of taking risks."

Bai Ye stuffed the silver plate into Raftan's hand again.

"That's right. Human destiny is a series of adventures and gambles, but the truly strong will always slowly accumulate and become winners along the way. The true probability cannot be judged by the results of one or two times, but must be considered after thousands or tens of thousands of practices. Although I don't know what your past was like, I am sure that the reason you feel that you are a disaster is because you are not strong enough."

"Well, can you stop acting so weak now? It will teach my child bad habits."

At the end of her words, Bai Ye lazily held me in her arms and let my head rest on her chest.

I can give it a score of 95 for its softness.

But I still struggled out and hid behind Raftan to defend my meaningless dignity.

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Raftan smiled apologetically and quickly returned to normal. She looked seriously at the silver plate in her palm, focusing on the imminent matter: "Locke? IV? Miss Bai Ye, what is this? What is its special meaning?"

I used the identification technique to check the properties of the badge and answered first, "This necklace is the necklace of a killer from the Three Swords Society. The characters written on it are the killer's name and rank. As for the rest, I have no idea."

Raftan frowned and murmured, "Three Swords Society? I've never heard of this name..."

Bai Ye seemed to know everything. "The Three Blades Society is a professional assassin group. I have employed them once before. The assassins under their group are capable and have integrity. They are a neutral organization that helps whoever has money. Under normal circumstances, I do not recommend taking the initiative to confront this mysterious group head-on. The real mastermind behind the scenes is their employer."

Raftan and I stood side by side, waiting like students for Bai Ye to continue.

Bai Ye blinked and said, "Then, actually I don't know who hired them."

"..." "..."

"After all, their confidentiality mechanism is professional."

"..." "..."

"Why are you looking at me with such disappointment?"

"..." "..."

In the past, I didn't want Bai Ye to be too omniscient, but now I really want her to know the secrets of all the conspirators in this world. Even though I don't know what kind of interests are hidden in that forest, now that a righteous man has died, this blood debt must be settled with those bad guys who hired murderers to kill, and make them pay the price for their lives.

I frowned and began to analyze the situation. "Both sides have lost their lives this time. This matter cannot be resolved peacefully. Even if we stop and leave, the other party will not let us go. Moreover, even if we can return to the stone house safely, there is no guarantee that they will not suddenly come to our door one day in the future and kill us secretly to silence us."

Raftan nodded in agreement. "Miss Lannon is right. Now that this matter has begun, we must investigate it to the end. There is no other way to ensure our safety except to find out the truth and bring the criminal to justice. Moreover, judging by the financial resources of the other party who was able to hire three platinum-level assassins at once, they must be from a prominent background."

"My dear little girls, let's not discuss this kind of basic common sense, okay?"

At this time, Bai Ye stretched her slender body and yawned as she said, "The rules of our adventurer world have always been that if anyone touches my hair, I will kill their entire family. But compared to those intrigues, let's arrange for tonight's food and lodging first, okay? If I don't get enough sleep, I will drink the blue potion again tomorrow and pass out."

"So, you can't just not drink the blue potion?" I complained.

"No, I'm used to taking drugs. Without them, I can't wake up during the day." Bai Ye replied.

"One of the most effective ways to stay mentally healthy is to maintain a regular schedule," Laftan advises.

Bai Ye lay directly on the back of the healed Xiao Ban and closed his eyes nonchalantly: "Let's just camp in the small forest outside the town tonight. There was a circus staying there when I left this morning. They should not have left yet. Even if there are one or two more campfires next to their team, it won't attract attention and it will be difficult for the pursuers to find them."

After saying this, Bai Ye really fell asleep on Xiao Ban’s back.

Having lost our horses, Raftan and I had no choice but to walk out of the city.

……

41. Counterattack (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

The next morning, I was woken up by the sounds of the circus rehearsal. There was a group of lovely people living in the huge tent. Their music could be heard almost until the early hours of the morning. There were also many strange and exotic animals following their team. Unfortunately, after experiencing those battles personally yesterday, I no longer had any interest in these sensual things.

After we woke up and recovered, she told us her plan. Then we bought two horses in the town and went to the outskirts of Wolville Forest, returning to the snowy area where we had stopped.

By this time, the snow had stopped falling and was slowly melting.

"Oh! Oh! It's still intact! Winter's antiseptic effect is really good!"

In the snow, Bai Ye faced the Wawville Forest and raised his hand to catch a wild goose.

Above her head, there were several wild geese circling in the sky. They were all the dead geese that we failed to take away in time last time. I remembered that after they fainted in the white night, their broad wings immediately lost strength and they all fell to the ground. But we didn't expect that after a day, they had not been taken away by other wild animals.

I curiously examined the wild goose and opened my eyes wide with joy: "There are no insect eggs or other strange things. I will light a fire and roast them later. They should be edible. Wait, let me see, I have salt, chili oil, honey and other seasonings. All I need is a chef who can grill──"

"Miss Lannong, we are not here for lunch today."

"Ulu, roasting wild goose is my specialty!"

"Oh yeah!" "Oh yeah!"

Snap──

After a happy high-five in tacit understanding, Bai Ye and I both put away our smiles and put on serious expressions.

This time, we will not just observe from the outskirts of the forest, but take the initiative to attack.

The first priority is to collect the missing intelligence:

1. The truth about marching wolves

2. The intentions and identities of the perpetrators

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won the tiger.

With the dead geese as sentinels, we sneaked into the snow-covered forest. Because the snow had stopped falling, the mounts' footprints would remain on the snow for a long time. If they were seen by the marching wolves or other people, our movements would be immediately exposed, and we might then have a skirmish in the forest.

When we reached a place with winding and uneven terrain, we dismounted together and walked in the snow-covered forest.

Bai Ye checked the memory of a wild goose that had just returned and said with a smile, "It's not that I can't beat them, but I don't want to fight them too soon. Judging from their behavior of hiring assassins, I believe their fighting ability will not be that high. The highest level is probably only platinum level, which can't pose any threat to us."

After a pause, Bai Ye narrowed his cold blue eyes and said, "What we should really be wary of are actually those silent marching wolves. If those hiding puppies suddenly appear when we are fighting them, even I am not sure what kind of surprise they will give us. At this stage, I hope to find out the truth before taking any action."

Suddenly, Bai Ye stopped and changed direction.

"There is a cave over here. Let's wait until night to act."

So, we followed Bai Ye to a cave. Next, Bai Ye sent out three dead geese to guard the area and eliminate the footprints we left along the way. What we found was a huge cave, which was big enough to accommodate almost a hundred people. There was an icy spring at the end of the cave, so we set up camp there and made a fire with magic.

After settling down, Bai Ye drew a topographic map of the surrounding area for us to see.

The shape of Wauville Forest is roughly a square.

Let's divide the area of ​​this square into four equal parts: upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right.

The direction from which Bai Ye and I entered the forest just now was the lower right corner. The location of the cave is in the middle of this area. In addition, according to the reconnaissance of Dead Goose, the group of humans of unknown origin are now gathered in the upper right corner of the forest and are moving vertically towards the lower right corner of the forest. It is expected that they will come near us tonight.

As for the protagonists of the event, the marching wolves can be found throughout the Vowell Forest.

Bai Ye spent some time in the cave observing and reported: "I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the marching wolves seem to be hiding from those suspicious people while keeping a certain distance from them, while the behavior of that group of people is just the opposite. They have been looking for trouble with the marching wolves, constantly sending out scouts to dig out their whereabouts, and then designing to capture them."

I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "That's great, someone is helping us do our original work──"

Raftan whispered in confusion, "Unnatural behavior."

Bai Ye held Xiao Ban in his arms and combed his pet's hair, making it shiver.

The Necromancer laughed sweetly, "Tell me, where in the world are there so many kind people willing to fight the evil dogs for free? Moreover, these kind people are more than 20 gold-level or above warriors. Haha, if the entire Bright Alliance can be as united and selfless as them, then even if there are more undead disasters, they will definitely not be able to destroy our lifeline."

"So, what should we do now?" I looked at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye yawned, casually threw Little Spot at Raftan like a doll, and replied lazily, "We are not close to exposing our whereabouts, so we might as well wait here. They will camp not far ahead of us tonight, and then we can return the surprise attack to them and pick on the unlucky guy who doesn't seem to be very tight-lipped at night."
