Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 71
Nearby passersby were scared away by the chase scene just now, but in order to avoid attracting too much attention, Xia Houyan decided to take Rocky and two girls and sit down in a remote tavern for a detailed discussion.

Along the way, the undercover spy who called himself "Deep Sea" had a gray face that was visible to the naked eye, as if he had accidentally drank a bucket of lime water.

He felt that his experience today was simply unlucky!

First, because he forgot to burn a secret letter, his forged identity for three months undercover was destroyed and he was pulled out of the mercenary organization;
Then he was chased and killed all the way by that mercenary strong man, and almost died under the hand axe;

After finally finding a hapless bunker as a bunker, this "unlucky bastard" turned out to be a guy who was even harder to deal with than a mercenary!
Rocky was puzzled: the black-haired young man with a crowbar in his hand looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old, but why could he guess his identity in just a few words, and his whole body was revealing. A frightening smell?

Others may not feel it, but years of undercover spy career have already cultivated Rocky's excellent ability to know people——

He realized that this black-haired boy not only had blood on his hands, but also climbed out of the dead!
Not to mention the hooded swordsman who used his sword to stop the mercenary just now - such a fast and precise way of using his sword, Rocky has only seen it in the elite guards of Grand Duke Rosario!

The speed of this swordsman's shot, even compared to the legendary swordsman "Thunder Dragon" Samuel, whose sensitivity has declined due to his aging, is not much inferior!
On this backcountry wasteland, where did such a group of ruthless characters come from?

What made Rocky panic even more was that he was tightly held in his hands by the three hoodies and could not move!

Ever since that stupid mercenary called out the word "inner ghost" and let the black-haired boy guess Rocky's identity, this senior spy has been completely at a disadvantage in the information gap!
The other party can choose to hand Rocky to the local mercenary organization at any time in exchange for a generous bounty!

run?It's not that Rocky hasn't considered this plan, but the black-haired boy has been staring at him with the eyes of a falcon!

What's more, the sharp sword in the swordsman's hand that shone with magical cold light was more like cutting butter with a scorching knife, cutting off all of Rocky's thoughts!
This senior spy can be seen from the expression of the black-haired boy: this young man who is young and has an extremely sinister and sophisticated manner is undoubtedly the kind of arrogant man who is greedy and greedy!

It is no less difficult to make such a person suffer a loss than to let a tiger eat green vegetables!
Rocky realized with some despair that after he cunningly used the opponent to block an axe, the young man would definitely find a way to extract enough value from him as compensation, and then he would just let it go——

Not to die, but also to peel off the skin!

Just in the midst of such nonsense and worrying about gains and losses, a group of three walked into a tavern called "Paradise".

Of course, this kind of fly shop with dim lights and loud voices has nothing to do with "heaven".

"Four cups of ale." After the four of them sat at the bar, Rocky, who had been in Huafang Town for a long time and was an old acquaintance of the owner, invited guests very self-consciously.

Rocky is observing Xiahou Yan, why isn't the Lord scrutinizing each other?

In this small scene in the tavern, the spy "Deep Sea" showed a calm mentality and refined human affection, and Xia Houyan couldn't help but stare at him twice.

A professionally trained, natural intelligence talent - he made a comment to Rocky in his heart.

Soon, the tavern owner brought four glasses of ale.

In the poor and savage land of souls, of course, you can't expect to have crystal clear glasses like in the Imperial Capital or Eagle's End Fort - these four cups of ale are served in filthy, pitted copper skins. in a cup
Xia Houyan stared at the handle of his wine glass, and vaguely found a trace of old blood, which was probably left in a bar fight and originated from a classic dialogue:
"What are you looking at?" "What are you doing?"

He shrugged, raised his glass, and poured himself a sip of cold ale.

Kareem Rocky, who has been turning around and complaining about himself, is actually the calmest one on the surface: he picked up his glass, sipped his ale leisurely, and hummed a little tune.

The psychological quality of the spies is undoubtedly revealed.

Alice and Wilf, after receiving the acquiescence of the Lord's nod, also picked up their wine glasses and took two sips.

Since they had to open their hoods a bit when they were drinking, Rocky was stunned to discover that the two hooded geeks were both beautiful girls!

Of course, he couldn't see Wilf's pointed ears, otherwise in such a remote place, suddenly seeing an elf that was close to extinction on the mainland would be enough to make him doubt his life.

"Mr. Deep Sea." Xia Houyan held the wine glass in both hands, staring at Rocky and said solemnly.

"Listen, this... sir." Rocky said in a low voice, "I was hunted and killed at the time, and it was a matter of life. You must understand my act of seeking cover from you - after all, you are the only one nearby. people!"

Xia Houyan heard that she was very cunning when she said "finding someone to block the sword" as "seeking cover".

"So what? I'm not interested in your undercover and undercover shit," the lord sneered, "but please know that because of your actions, I not only encountered danger myself, but may even offend the local mercenaries. !"

Rocky thought for a while, and remembered that Grand Duke Rosario had allocated him the mission funding, and there were still fifty gold coins left.

So he immediately pleaded:

"I'm really, really sorry! Come on, I'll give you twenty gold coins, let's just pretend that nothing happened today, how about that? This is all my net worth!"

Xia Houyan sneered:

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Okay, okay..." Rocky suddenly showed a heartache like deboning and cutting flesh, and said aggrieved, "I'll give you thirty gold coins, I really only have so many left..."

"Look, Mr. Deep Sea, money is often the least valuable thing." Xia Houyan smiled, carefully capturing every emotion that flashed in Rocky's brown eyes, "And you know, a spy What is the most valuable thing on your body?"

Rocky felt his heart suddenly tighten as if being captured by an invisible giant hand, but he could only follow the other side and ask:

"...what is it?"

"It's information." Xia Houyan leaned back on the chair, took a sip from his glass, "Mr. Deep Sea, what I want to get from you is information, and you can use it to exchange your freedom with me. Even life, only information."

"What kind of information do you want?" The other party has already tried to see it, and Rocky no longer fakes it, and asks through gritted teeth.

"I guess you, as a well-informed spy, must know..." Xia Houyan stared at Luo Qi's eyes and asked word by word, "... Recently, has there been a thousand-person team led by female nobles? , appearing near the land of split souls?"

"The team led by female and noblewoman?" Rocky was stunned and subconsciously said, "You are talking about Katarina of the Igor family..."

Then, he suddenly realized something.

All the information came together in my mind.

According to the information, the young nobleman Elliot Igor, who inherited the title, and the black-haired boy holding a crowbar in front of him...

The famous captain of the female bodyguard of the Igor family, the female swordsman who sits at the table and sips ale silently...

"You..." Rocky had never felt his voice tremble so much, "...you...you are Lord Elliot Eagle?"

Xia Houyan frowned and didn't speak, but he didn't deny it.

Then, a strange scene that the Lord Lord and his two female followers never expected appeared like this:

The spy "Deep Sea" in front of him first wriggled his lips twice, then collapsed completely, forcibly suppressed his voice and raised his head to cry:

"Three months...three months...I, I finally found the organization!!!"
