On the Seven Towers

If we were to choose what Zhang Hong hates most in the world, the three words "Hong Lifeng" would definitely be one of the strongest contenders. This name has been haunting Zhang Hong's life like a curse since two years ago. Like a poisonous insect hiding in his mind, it would come out and bite him from time to time, causing him to fall into extreme depression and fear. Not to mention, from time to time he would appear in nightmares and strangle Zhang Hong to death in the same way Zhang Hong strangled him.

However, Zhang Hong has been going well this year. With the title of hero, his strength has been promoted to a high level, and he is about to enter the political arena. Everything seems very beautiful, and this name is gradually thrown into the corner of his mind. . At this moment, when he heard the name, this feeling of suffocation suddenly returned to him. Zhang Hong's breathing was rapid, his hands and feet were cold, and he felt that all the strength in his body was like ice and snow meeting the sun, melting away in an instant.

His legs softened and he sat back on the chair, clinging to the back of the chair. He tried hard to tell himself not to panic or be nervous, but his face turned from white to red, and then from red to white. After a moment, he suppressed the panic in his heart, pretended to look at Cole calmly and asked: "This is my comrade who died two years ago. Why do you mention his name?"

"It's the companion you killed two years ago, right?" Cole said.

"I..., that's nonsense! You're such a mouthful!" Zhang Hong hurriedly retorted.

"Don't argue. You don't want to be here and let others hear the following words, do you? Let's go!" Cole also stood up and stood next to Zhang Hong. "

This time Zhang Hong obeyed a lot. The two of them walked to the door of the banquet hall, and the officer on duty came up to ask. Zhang Hong said: "This guest wants to pick up a document, so let me accompany him."

As a high-level mage, Zhang Hong was considered one of the senior figures in the team. It was normal to accompany the guests to pick up a document and discuss it. The officer on duty did not raise any suspicion and just asked Zhang Hong if he needed soldiers to accompany him.

"No need. Thank you." Zhang Hong reluctantly smiled at the officer on duty. In the dimness, the officer could not see his unnatural expression clearly.

The banquet was held in the original Olgas' house. After going out, Zhang Hong silently led Cole forward, but he was secretly planning in his heart. He is a high-level mage. As far as he knows, Cole's previous ability is that of a low-level peak magic archer. Even if he hides his strength, he is at most an intermediate level. Zhang Hong felt that if he were caught off guard, he could still subdue him.

These days, he is also familiar with the situation in Heimuguan. There are many vacant houses in Heimuguan now. Some places are rarely visited by people. They are in corners and courtyards and are in the blind spot of the sentry post. It is a good place for a secret raid. . As long as you catch him, there is always a way to slowly find out what evidence and trump cards he has. So, Zhang Hong deliberately took Cole to some dark paths.

The magic fluctuation caused by the battle is a trouble. After all, in order to prevent infiltration, the entire Blackwood Pass is shrouded in a magic circle that detects magic fluctuations. There are mages monitoring it at all times. Zhang Hong began to think about how to end the battle quickly. While monitoring the mages and Before the guards arrived, they took the guy to a hidden place and tortured him.

As long as the speed is fast enough, even if the officers on duty in the banquet hall have seen them going out together, as long as there is no proof of death, Xiao Chen and the others will not hand themselves over to the imperial people.

"Haha, Zhang Hong, you brought me to a place like this, didn't you want to kill me to silence me?" Cole said in a nonchalant tone.

"You wanted to come out with me, are you suspicious now?" Zhang Hong said.

Cole said: "I just don't want you to do stupid things. You have to know that if I dare to come out with you, I am naturally not afraid of you doing something to me. Do you think I came to you alone? Do you think the Earl doesn't know about this?" ?”

"Who are you?" Zhang Hong asked.

"That's not important, is it?" Cole said.

"No, I don't know who you are, how dare I cooperate with you?" Zhang Hong stopped.

In the darkness, Cole seemed to shrug his shoulders: "Of course I am an Imperial, from the beginning. And I am a Black Guard, engaged in collecting intelligence near Suero. Of course, you need to have an identity as a cover to collect intelligence. So I joined the Blue Flame Mercenary Group of Kalanda..."

"Wait a minute! Karanda is also from the Empire. Could it be that she is also a Black Guard like you!" Zhang Hong lost his voice.

"This is not something you should be concerned about." Cole sneered, "Mind your own business first. Originally, my job was just to prepare for the empire's actions today, but when you guys showed up, I found out I have a lot of valuable clues in my hand, alien humans, strange science, and unimaginable development speed. I realize that you are the most important information near Suero, so I will lurk inside you. Come down. If those greedy old guys among you hadn't exposed that secret, I should still be staying in one of your cities or one of your teams safely.

But I'm pretty lucky. The God of Nature gave me your information as compensation. I have a hunch that this information will give me a very generous reward. Zhang Hong, do you regret doing that now? "

Zhang Hongdao: "You don't have to trick me, I won't tell you anything."

"The horse thief Orville told me everything I need to say." Cole followed Zhang Hong into a room. After closing the door, Cole took out an image crystal and input a little magic power. The crystal began to project images on the wall of the room. A video record.

The screen shows a seriously injured man. Blood is flowing from his mouth and nose, and his face is as pale as a dead man.

A voice-over asked: "Say it again, say it again in front of this stone. What did Zhang Hong do?

The man panted and said with difficulty: "When we caught Zhang Hong and Hong Lifeng, we tortured them separately. Zhang Hong confessed all the secrets of their hometown, but Hong Lifeng did not. Ahem, the two fought in the cell because of betrayal. Zhang Hong confessed that Hong Lifeng mocked him for surrendering to the great king of horse thieves, so he wanted to kill him. This is all nonsense. Anyway, in the end, Zhang Hong killed Hong Lifeng and strangled him to death with his hands. Many horse thieves knew about this incident, and it was widely circulated in our village at that time.

Ahem, I have to say that Hong Lifeng is a real man, but Zhang Hong? A coward and a coward. He killed someone and scared himself to tears. Haha, a man cried more aggrieved than a woman. Waste!"
