Summoning the Holy Sword

After hearing Victor's answer, everyone's complexion changed, and Victor just glanced at them, and then continued: "The news I just heard from the merchants at the gate of the city is that since Since the day before yesterday, the entire city has been completely closed. It has been announced that due to the recent chaos in the Solagang Mountain Territory, the entire city has been completely closed, even in the city, for the upcoming Mountain Council and the order in the city. Also, people are not allowed to move around easily, that is, even if everyone has the ability to mix into the city, there is no way to get in with the crowd. Once they are found and questioned by the guards, their whereabouts will be completely exposed, and they will be over. Already.

Although there should be supporters of the parliamentarians in the guards, this is betting on luck, not to mention that they are not even qualified to bet on luck-at least they must first enter the city.

But now, the entire city has been completely closed, the gates are closed, and the walls are full of vigilant soldiers. The whole city feels like a besieged city with a tense atmosphere. In this case, everyone thought that it would take a little effort The idea of ​​being able to mix into the city is completely impossible. Not to mention that even if they faced the city, they also faced the patrolmen on the streets. Even if they were close to the Mithril Hall, the tight guard would cause more headaches. Now, there is not much time before the council meeting begins. It's up! !!

"We have half a day left."

Victor's voice also inevitably revealed a touch of anxiety. Even if he was calm as he is now, there is finally no way to keep calm. He finally had the opportunity to turn around, but in the end, he lost everything, then everything is done. Already. He stared at the towering wall, but didn't know what to do. If the city gate is opened, he can also create a gap to make Rhodes and the old parliamentarians mix in by creating methods such as chaos, but now the city gate is closed, and it will not open at all, and the current staff It is too few to create an opportunity for the other party to open the city gate ... What can I do?

"Is there a secret passage leading to the city, Lord Parliament?"

"This one………………"

The Captain frowned, pondered for a moment, and then his eyes lighted up.

"There is indeed a secret passage leading to the city, maybe we can try it!"

"Does your enemy know the existence of this secret passage?"

"Only members of the council know the existence of this secret passage, but ..." Speaking here, the old parliamentary paused, and of course he understood why Victor asked himself about this, if his enemies knew This secret way, then they are likely to be ready for this. But now they have no other way, and Victor is very aware of this, so even if the answer given by the old president does not meet Victor's expectations, there is no way now, only a try.

The location of the closed path is not complicated. According to the old parliament's parliament, the exit of this closed path is located in a dense forest on the back of the Solagang Mountain Territory, and the position of this closed path is also very meaningful. It is not close to the border between the Dragon Kingdom of the Night and the Dragon Kingdom of the Light, but instead it is across the river from the Principality of Munn. This also reflects the attitude of the Solagang Mountains to the surrounding countries. Due to the special environment of the Solagang Mountains, there is only a huge mountain city in addition to those mines. Because of this, once there is If any state of affairs requires them to escape into the secret passage, then the Solagang Mountains themselves are completely finished, and they will not even have a chance of fighting guerrillas and stand-ups, they will be completely annexed, and there is no possibility of resistance. .

The location of the secret road is far from the Dragon Country of the Light and the Dragon Country of the Night, which also shows that the Soragang Mountain Territory is not so assured of the two, and their attitude towards the Principality of Munn is obviously closer. .

"This……………"

But in the end, Victor's bad hunch came true.

When they were led by the old parliament leader, they came to a hole that was hidden in the woods and looked ordinary. Everyone was stunned when they looked at the hole in front of them, but couldn't say a word . The cave, which was supposed to be dark and deep, was completely blocked by heavy stones at the moment, and it turned out that those people were not idiots, and they had already thought about this, so they completely sealed the entire opening. Blocked up.

"It's troublesome ..."

Victor stood in front of the hole that had been completely blocked, and couldn't help but breathe out. He clenched his fists and stared at the cave in front of him. Although it is not impossible to clean up these stones, but it takes time, and now what they lack most is time. They have no time to hang out here. When they clear up the rubble and then enter the city through the closed road, I'm afraid the daylily is cold.

But what can we do now?

It's almost time.

Looking at Victor in front of him, Rhodes twitched his lips, then he gestured to everyone around him, and then Rhodes went to Victor's side and whispered to him.

"Mr. Victor, is there any other way?"

"No more."

Hearing Rhode's inquiries, Victor was also suffering a face. He is now in a desperate situation, and the face that had always been smiling has now revealed a little depression. He spread out at Rhodes helplessly Hands and shrugs. Although strictly speaking, Victor also has a few more risky plans, but unless they are a last resort, Victor does not intend to use them, because almost all of them are betting on luck. This kind of adventure is true. The only choice is to wait until the dying, a plan of near death.

It seems almost the same.

Hearing Victor's answer, Rhode watched the other side carefully, then he turned his head and glanced at the old parliament president and the people around him, only to see that at this moment they had completely disappeared. And joy, replaced by deep exhaustion and despair. Even the old man was breathing helplessly now, and his gaunt body looked like a flame in the cold wind, and he could fall anytime, anywhere. It is no wonder that, under the age of the old parliament, even if he has been treated by a spiritual master, it is very difficult to carry out a wild march in such weather. It is hard for him to insist on coming here.

"Just leave it to me."

"Hey?"

After hearing Rhode's answer, Victor screamed in surprise, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe looking at Rhodes.

"Don't ... sir, do you have a way?"

"The meeting will be held in the Mithril Hall. In this case, I know that there is a way to go there. Please tell them and I hope they are ready. I will also give some instructions to my subordinates."

"Ah ......... OK."

Hearing Rhode's words, Victor didn't look back for a moment, he stared blankly at the dark mask in front of him, and then gave a hurried answer. Although he also doubted how Rhodes learned about the Solagang Mountain Territory, this is not what he was concerned about. If Rhodes said that he knew a path to the Mithril Hall, Road, then this is enough for Victor.

With this in mind, Victor nodded, and he quickly turned to leave. Only then did Rhodes turn around and walk to his subordinates.

"Head, when will I be able to take off this nasty mask, Annie is so uncomfortable."

Just as Rhodes had just returned, she saw Annie jump out of the restlessly, hug her arm, and complained dissatisfied. I have to say that this black mask with Annie's crisp and lively voice is really out of touch-but it is no wonder that Anne will ask this question. Since coming to the Solagang Mountains, in order to keep her identity, Rhodes forbids them from contacting the parliamentarians and others and Victor's men, and many times they are alone and separated from the crowd. This was tolerable for Marlene and Li Jie, but for Annie, not saying a word was almost equivalent to killing her, not to mention that because of Annie's unique speaking habits, Rhodes even forbids her from having The outsider spoke. After all, Annie's speaking habits are too unique, as long as you have heard it, you will hardly forget. And Annie was also very obedient. When outsiders were present, she didn't say a lot of words-it is really hard for her to be patient.

"Be patient, Annie, we'll finish the task right away, and then leave here. After the task is over, I'll invite you to eat something delicious, how about it?"

Rhodes touched Annie's hair, and then replied. And hearing Rhode's response, Annie was immediately excited.

"Really, as long as Annie's patience is over, will the leader invite Annie to eat good food after the mission is over? Anything?"

"Uh…………………"

I don't know why, when he heard that "anything works", Rhodes felt that there was a chill flying behind his spine, but he nodded his head hard. Seeing Rhode's answer, Annie cheered in a low voice, then bouncing away from Rhodes' body, and until then, Rhodes shrugged, and then he calmed down again and did to everyone around him. Gestures. Seeing Rhode's gesture, the others came forward.

"Landor, I have a very important task for you. From now on, I ask you and your team to retreat to the road where we came to ambush and observe. I am very worried whether those guys will send someone again Head to that mountain to investigate the whereabouts of the old parliamentarians. If they get any information, they will definitely return it. If someone is found to be going to this city from the same direction as us ... "

Speaking of which, Rhodes' right hand slashed down fiercely.

"Kill in place, let's just let the wrong go, let's be clean. Do you understand? If you find information from the other party, notify me immediately. After you get my instructions, you can return to the fortress. ,do you understand?"

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing Rhode's order, Lando nodded his head seriously, then he sorted out the long bow behind him, and then stepped back, and then saw the ranger turn around and make a few gestures to his men, Soon, more than a dozen heavily armed mercenaries disappeared quietly into the depths of the dense forest, and soon disappeared. After seeing Lando and others leave, Rhode turned to the other side.

"Joy, it may be a little dangerous for a while. Let your people pay attention to the surroundings. Also, be optimistic about those guys around the president. I don't want to be overturned by any stupid person. Kedo discussed, you just have to observe in secret, you understand? "

"No problem, boss, leave it to me."

"Marin, Annie, Lijie."

In the end, Rhode turned to the three girls who were waiting for his orders.

"Your tasks are relatively heavy, Marin, you have to pay attention to protect yourself, Li Jie, I hope you put all your energy on the old parliamentary president, and once you encounter any danger, you must protect him first. Annie, Li Jie hasn't had enough distractions, so it's up to you to protect her and Marlene. Of course, the most important thing is not to talk, don't talk, and don't reveal your identity. You should understand that this is very important. important."

"………………"

The three did not speak, but nodded slightly to understand that Li Jie and Ma Lin were very clear about their special identities, so naturally they were psychologically prepared for this, and Annie ... probably Rhodes ... The guarantee given to her played a bigger role.

After whispering, Rhode turned his head and happened to see the old parliament leader approaching here under Victor's leadership. The latter's expression was a little weird, seemed very difficult, and helpless.

It seems that things are not going well.

Seeing this, Rhodes frowned, but he waved his hand to signal others to be ready, and then he came to Victor and the old parliament silently and saw Rhodes go Over, Victor shrugged at him helplessly.

"Mr. Parliament has something to ask you."

"..............."

Rhodes didn't speak, he just looked at the old man in front of him. He was already very old, and his slender figure made him look thin and weak. Come and look at yourself, with a special stubbornness and tenacity in his eyes that only a mountainous people can have.

"I heard ...... you have a way to get us into Mithril Hall?"

"………………"

Rod didn't speak, he just nodded. Seeing this movement, the old man frowned slightly, and Rhodes could touch his doubts and hesitations, but this was also expected. But Rhodes is not worried, because now he is hiding his identity, so even if he is doubted, he has nothing to worry about as long as he does not doubt it.

"Can you tell me, where is that?"

"........."

Rhode still did not speak, he just extended his finger and pointed forward, and then ignored the old man and walked forward. And when he saw him walking forward, the old man didn't say much. Although Vick opened his mouth and tried to explain to him, the old parliamentary officer just waved his hand and stared at the black figure for a moment. He then turned around, followed Rhodes and walked forward.

Rhodes didn't go too far. He crossed the blocked passage entrance and stopped in a mountain stream not far from it. This is a thin seam formed by natural weathering and erosion. From the outside, I can barely accommodate only one or two people standing in it, and the gap is also deep. With the help of sunlight, I can easily see the steep mountain wall. Everyone stood beside Rod curiously, wondering what he was going to do.

Rhode didn't pay attention to the eyes coming from behind him. He just looked up and looked at the gap in front of him, then carefully started the information about the task of "Solagang Heights History Research" that he saw in the forum. That was an archaeological mission. Players took the task of the Solagang Mountain Territory Council, searched underground, and confirmed the argument that the original Soragang Mountain territory was formed by the dwarves moving through the Silver Mountains ... … The player at the time found according to the literature, the passage connecting the underground ancient dwarf ruins and the Mithril Hall should be here, remembering that the distance is ...… Rhode walked into the gap, then flashed sideways.

"Oh!!"

Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help shouting in surprise. In their eyes, Rhodes only walked into the narrow gap, then his body turned to this side, and it disappeared under the eyes of everyone. It ’s in the stone! !! ?

How is this going?

Victor hurried forward, and when he got to Rhode's position, he could not help but widen his eyes in surprise-I saw that beside him, a wide cave entrance was quiet Lying there, when viewed from the front, it is just an ordinary hole, but when you look in from the entrance of the gap, you will only see the towering mountain walls on both sides without any shadow of the cave.

This is simply the manifestation of nature's awe-inspiring work--or, it's not that simple.

Victor looked at the dark hole in front of him with a little hesitation, but he quickly beckoned, and then stepped into the cave.

At this moment there are only five hours left before the Mountain Leadership Council begins.
