Dragon Gate Swordsman

What's more, I am now an infected person.

Margaret left the hotel with a dazed look on her face, planning to take a stroll along the nearby streets to clear her mind, which felt like she was trapped in a maze.

By the way, he also fulfilled his duties as a bodyguard and eliminated any suspicious people nearby.

Although she always felt that Chongxiao was overthinking... You are a senior inspector of Longmen and have never been to Chernobyl before. Who would target you for no reason?

"Smug."

After coming to this conclusion muttering to herself, Margaret walked along the street towards the outskirts of the city.

She didn't like Ursus, not only because of the ten wars that had broken out between Ursus and Casimir in history, but also because of the empire's attitude towards the infected... A true knight would never bully the weak, nor would he force those who were already suffering into a desperate situation.

Dressing so "cautiously" in early summer is actually to hide the identity of the infected person.

Although Margaret's body has not yet shown any specific symptoms of oripathy.

After walking for about ten minutes, the scene on both sides of the street became a little desolate. Not only was the density of building facilities significantly reduced, but the green environment was also perfunctory.

The area of ​​Chernobyl is not large, and its population size cannot be compared with Longmen. In order not to attract unnecessary attention, Chongxiao chose a hotel that is far away from the city center.

Uh…did I go too far?

Margaret then realized that she had been thinking about the knight and had not noticed that she had come to such a place.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the hotel, a figure suddenly appeared on the right side of the street.

A figure that made Margaret narrow her eyes slightly.

Logically speaking, unless you are a spy or an informant, you should never be suspicious of people you see on the street.

Unfortunately, the man was wearing a dark robe, his head was covered by a hood, and he was walking in a hurry, ignoring everything on the street. In every sense, he fits the word "suspicious"...

It must be a coincidence, right?

Margaret made her judgement, but alas, she was a very responsible person.

So, even though she had no good feelings towards her employer Chongxiao and understood that he most likely had nothing to do with this investigation, the dedicated female knight still followed him from a distance.

What if he really came for that guy?

I have to admit that Margaret's tracking skills are very poor, but the suspicious man in black robe seems to be on par with her and didn't even notice this.

A few minutes later, the man in black robe walked into a tavern... The facade was decorated extremely poorly, the sign was tattered, and the scale was very limited. It was obvious that it was the kind of tavern that would only appear in villages or on the edge of the city, and it might not even have a formal business license.

Margaret was a little hesitant as to whether she should go in. Firstly, the man in black robe was just suspicious, and secondly, a true knight should not enter such a place.

However, just as she was hesitating and planning to leave, there was a sound of something being smashed suddenly in the tavern.

The female knight's eyes narrowed, and she turned and rushed over in an instant.

The night in Chernobyl comes earlier than in Longmen. It is only a little after five o'clock, but the sky is already very dim, and the afterglow of the sunset is also blocked by clouds.

At this time, there would be no customers in the pub, so when Margaret broke open the door and rushed in, the first thing that caught her eye was the empty hall.

Is it behind?

Without much hesitation, she quickly locked her eyes on the corridor leading to the back hall and ran over.

But before he could run a few steps, the door in front of him was suddenly slammed open!

It wasn't an active action, but the man flew out directly and knocked the door open...

Margaret instantly reached out and caught the man and put him on the ground. A quick look showed that he was dressed like an ordinary Ursus civilian, with a trace of fresh blood on his head.

"Hey! Are you okay!?"

"Ёб твою мать! Я тебя въебу на хуй!" (Note)

Unfortunately, Margaret only speaks Casimir and Victorian, and knows almost nothing about Ursus... After all, she has no good feelings towards this country.

However, judging from the tone, this Ursus civilian was obviously cursing, and the curse was very ugly.

He didn't even turn around to look at Margaret, he just stood up and rushed into the room he had just flown out of.

This...are all Ursus people like this?

The female knight frowned and walked in quickly.

This room should be the lounge for the tavern staff. It was quite spacious, and the broken bed boards on the floor explained the breaking sound Margaret had just heard. As for the angry Ursus civilian, he flew out again.

This time he was not so lucky. He hit his head against the wall and then collapsed to the ground without making a sound...

The one who did all this was the man in black robe that Margaret had just seen.

At this time, the man in black robe had taken off his hood and was looking over here with a cold expression. On the bed beside him lay a little blonde girl with a painful look on her face.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is...

Both of them are Sarkaz.

"……who are you?"

Margaret took a defensive posture. She really didn't like Ursus, but she couldn't just sit back and watch the violence against civilians. "Why do you want to hurt people?"

The white-haired woman in a black robe said something that Margaret couldn't understand, probably Sarkaz language.

After seeing that the female knight had no reaction, the other party switched to Victorian language.

"This has nothing to do with you, go...or die."

……

(Note: This is a vulgar Russian swear word. I am not sure if cats can recognize Russian words. If not, this sentence is equivalent to {Ursus swear words})

Chapter 68: Things are difficult to settle, and many parties gather together

As a knight, you should be fair and not look at others with prejudice.

Therefore, Margaret had no prejudice against the Sarkaz.

But the premise is... they don't do anything dangerous.

And now, this Sarkaz in black robe and white hair had obviously injured the Ursus civilians in the tavern, so it was natural that Margaret could no longer treat her with a peaceful attitude.

"Since you speak Victorian, that's easy."

The female knight glanced at the Sarkaz girl lying on the bed... She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with her eyes closed and sweat on her forehead. "I am Margaret Linguang, a knight. Tell me what happened here and who are you?"

In the case of the patient, Margaret does not think that the white-haired Sarkaz are pure criminals or terrorists, so she wants to get things clear first.

However, the other party doesn't seem to think so...

"...leave here, or else."

His face was still expressionless, his tone was still extremely cold, and at the same time, he slightly pulled out the weapon in his hand that looked like both a staff and a sword.

This is a warning, no doubt.

Too bad, a true knight never backs down...

"If you insist on not saying anything, then I will have no choice but to call the police."

Margaret was not saying this casually. Although the Sarkaz usually suffer from oripathy, and their fate if they fall into the hands of the Ursus Patrol can be imagined, this is not a reason for them to hurt civilians here.

Bullying the weak is what a knight cannot tolerate the most.

After hearing what she said, the white-haired Sarkaz did not hesitate at all and launched an attack directly.

She did not draw her weapon. Her figure flashed slightly, and she appeared in front of Margaret at an astonishing speed, and swung a swift and fierce sweep towards the female knight's head.

This was not a fatal move. It was probably the same as what happened to the Ursus civilian just now. It was just to make Margaret lose consciousness.

Without a weapon and the terrain was too narrow, Margaret, who had received rigorous training, certainly would not act recklessly. She decisively jumped back to avoid the sweep, then quickly turned around and ran out of the tavern.

The sky has become extremely dark, and the night is spreading. There are no traces of passers-by around the tavern. Only the sparse street lights on the street can still maintain a trace of vitality.

Until Margaret ran out and pulled one of them out of the ground, using it as a long-handled weapon...

"What on earth do you want to do!?"

She harshly questioned the opponent who followed her out, but the Sarkaz turned a deaf ear to her and continued to attack with his unsheathed weapon that looked like a staff or a sword.

As a last resort, the two men engaged in a fierce confrontation outside the tavern.

Margaret's lamppost does not follow the traditional style of ordinary long-handled weapons, that is, it is fierce and sharp with big openings and closings, but it has an indescribable sophistication, and it is obvious that she has been immersed in this art for many years.

If the shape and material of the lamppost weren't so ordinary, she should be able to fight the white-haired Sarkaz on equal terms...

But now, facing the extremely agile weapon that appeared and disappeared, Margaret felt unprecedented difficulty.

This man’s swordsmanship...is probably no weaker than Uncle Maenna’s!

However, the white-haired Sarkaz man did not seem to have the intention to kill, which allowed Margaret to hold on despite the disadvantage, and for a while she did not show any signs of defeat.

"Your last chance."

Taking advantage of the break in the attack, she said: "Leave here and pretend you didn't see anything."

“I can’t do that!”

"Then... I'm sorry."

Before he finished speaking, the speed of the unsheathed sword suddenly doubled, forcing the severely deformed lamppost apart, and then stabbed towards Margaret's forehead.

If this hits him hard, it might cause a concussion.

Fortunately, at this moment, a sharp sword energy suddenly appeared and accurately hit the weapon of the white-haired Sarkaz.

After a loud "clang" sound, Margaret took the opportunity to distance herself from him, and the Sarkaz showed a solemn expression for the first time, and instantly turned around to look in the direction where the sword energy came from.

"What's going on? Yaoguang, how did you get along with... the Sarkaz?"

It was Chongxiao who was running towards him quickly.

After leaving the City Hall, he went to the Communications Management Office again, pretending to be a door-to-door service maintenance worker and asked for the addresses of the three noble targets before returning to the hotel.

When he found that Margaret was not there, he ran out to look for her, but he didn't expect that she had a conflict with someone.

Margaret was a little embarrassed...

"Inspector Chong... Inspector Chongxiao?"

"How can you be more troublesome than me?"

Chongxiao muttered as he quickly walked between the two men, protecting the female knight behind him, "Who is this Sarkaz?"

"...I don't know either. She just attacked local civilians."

"So arrogant?"

Chongxiao naturally knew that the Sarkaz were generally infected, so considering Ursus' attitude towards the infected, this was not a wise move.

He turned around and looked at the other person... He was wearing a simple and durable black travel robe without any unnecessary decorations. It was already a bit worn out, but the weapon in his hand was not an ordinary item.

In addition, the aura of this Sarkaz woman was also quite amazing. No wonder she was able to suppress Yaoguang just now.

"Are you from Kazdel?" (Sarkaz language)

"...You can speak our language?"

"I know a little bit. I have some friends who are Sarkaz."

friend?

This wording startled the Sarkaz woman, and her solemn expression relaxed a little.

At this moment, the sound of sirens was heard in the distance. It was probably because Margaret and her fight just now attracted the attention of nearby residents, so they called the police.

Among the three people present, one is a powerful Sarkaz carrying weapons, one is a Casimir knight infected with oripathy, and one is a senior inspector of Lungmen who came to Chernobog in disguise to investigate the nobles... None of them are willing to provoke the local police.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go to the hotel where we are staying."

"Okay, but wait a minute, I have to bring someone with me."

……

A few minutes later, in Chongxiao's room in the hotel.

Margaret was still somewhat hostile to the Sarkaz woman who called herself the Shining, until she revealed her reason for coming to Chernobog.

"Treatment of oripathy? Why come to Chernobog?"

"It is said that there is a very professional hospital here."
