The Riddler Get Out of Terra

The amount was so large that even the notorious race of blood demons was dropped from suspicion!

The regent, Teresis, was rich and sent a team of pardoners. These masked, silent and fierce men in black robes, with full caution and exquisite martial arts, were warmly entertained by the regent's subordinate troops at midnight. Leave and go to the place where the roaring is the loudest to show the majesty of the regent - he can grant huge benefits when necessary.

result……

According to the oral account of the female pardoner who narrowly escaped death, some invisible shadow attacked them at an extremely fast speed. One second, everyone was cautiously approaching the target in formation, and the next moment there were powerful explosions and beatings. It comes to the trained pardoners.

Any protection was ineffective. The skilled and exquisite group spell stance of the Sinner could not catch the opponent at all. When they woke up from the brief dizziness and the consternation that the stance spell had no effect, the second round of unclear attacks has arrived.

This time it was a brief beating.

Without mercy or inquiry, the Sinner's tough body was as fragile as cardboard to the attacking enemies. The hidden opponent tore the team apart with ease - judging from the burst wounds, it might just be the use of extremely fast physics. Go through the blocking wall.

The consequences were extremely tragic. Any obstruction was shattered into pieces, and the flying flesh and blood changed from an exaggerated description to a physical phenomenon. These ruthless men who used to have powerful swordsmanship and powerful spells were torn apart by invisible straight lines, with arms, thighs, and pieces broken. The internal organs were of unrecognizable shape, mixed with various stenches that quickly confused the nostrils of the Pardoners.

When they used their remaining sanity and calmness to regroup into a team, most of the 60-man team was killed several times. In just five seconds, less than [-] Sinners survived.

Even so, there were many disabled people who had their arms and thighs torn apart by rapid penetration, and could only use medical magic for a short period of time.

The Origin Stone spells and tough body that Sarkaz was proud of did nothing. The invisible enemy casually destroyed all living forces like toys.

The Pardoners knew that they could not complete their mission, but they were in a dilemma because of this invisible enemy - if they moved forward, they would die, and if they retreated, they might not live!

However, the familiar attack continued to come in the next second.

It was still a massacre without resistance. Only the Pardoner, who had now changed his code name to Shining, used his excellent swordsmanship talent to hold the sword across his chest and barely blocked a puncture - or in other words, was let go by the opponent.

Because when the lost Shining returned to the Regent's army, Captain Sakaz, who had experienced hundreds of battles, couldn't help but admit that the other party let her go:

This D32 steel is matched with secret metal, and the sword body made with a special secret recipe has been roughly bent!

This alone may not arouse the fear of the Sakaz mercenary captains - although for them being able to break D32 steel is already a mythical level, what makes them speechless is that a weapon is clearly printed on it. Fist seal.

What's even more frightening is that the attacker actually discovered this during a battle. Out of caution, he slowly wiped away the handprints on the fist mark, leaving vague finger marks in the depressions.

It didn't feel like a fight, it felt more like I felt guilty when I stepped on ants and found that my shoe prints were left on the ground, so I rubbed the soles of my shoes a few times to clean up the special marks.

The Shining, who also discovered this afterwards, could no longer wield the sword, and the curved sword also appeared in the Black Iron Palace as a government item. The Shining, who fell into a nightmare and was constantly alert, did not change even if he picked up the sword. Strong courage.

She even submitted her resignation, intending to leave the Pardoner and go into self-imposed exile.

The leader of the Pardoner took pity on her, so much so that the Shining's application went smoothly as never before, and he easily left the Pardoner team, and even received a generous pension - making Sakaz, a very skilled swordsman, lose his future. , even the leader thought it was too cruel!

The report submitted by Shining repeatedly mentioned that when Shining was the only one left, the other party leaned gently on her back and blew cold breath into her neck, no matter how fast Shining used it. She turned around quickly or stabbed the sword in the back at an extremely fast speed, but there was no response. The cold breath kept blowing from her head to her sweaty back.

After a long time, when Shining couldn't hold the sword, but still tried to attack tremblingly, the invisible ghost made a vague sound, which seemed to be criticizing her swordsmanship:

"It's really average. At most, it's mixed with a little bit of spiritual origin stone skills that can't be learned in martial arts. Can you call me a swordsman with this little skill?"

"Difference!"

In a blink of an eye, everything disappeared, leaving only the exhausted Shining facing the broken limbs and arms on the ground, desperately burying the dead Pardoners.

……

In addition to this most authentic description, other legends, whether true or false, have also been widely circulated, making Xiao Yanrong, who was smuggling back to Kazdaele with his family from Londinium, Victoria, so scared that he only dared to go with his sister Fleur every night. sleep.

No.16 The Strange Person from Victoria ([-])

Xiao Yanrong actually doesn't want to return to this land with which she is not familiar at all with her father - she and her sister are not native Sakaz people, and Kazdale, a land full of joys and sorrows, is still their father to them. Mouth

A hometown full of pain.

Therefore, even though Victoria's Londinium was not so friendly to Sarkarz, the two sisters adapted and got used to the bitterness and hardships life brought.

The two little flowers bloom in an ordinary family that is not poor, doing what they like. Xiao Yanrong always likes to deal with the poor and homeless orphans. On the one hand, he listens to them talk about things that have nothing to do with them. , gossiping nonsense, on the one hand, doing good things - such as getting some food to share with these people who have eaten one meal but not another.

Little Fleur is docile and cute, and has a good reputation among the neighbors. Even if she is a Sakaz, there are many Victorians who think she is a great candidate for their daughter-in-law, and encourage their own incompetent bad boy to communicate with Fleur. .

If this had continued like this, everything should have slowly gotten better.

Both Xiao Furong and Xiao Yanrong can live an ordinary life, get married, and have children. Of course, Xiao Yanrong may awaken his little heart of justice because of hanging out with street children, and secretly run away from home to uphold justice. .

But when Sakaz mercenaries left Kazdale in large numbers and ran around, constantly taking in shady business, and firmly taking the blame, Xiao Furong and Xiao Yanrong's life became a bit sad.

——It may not be anything originally. There will always be Sarkaz mercenaries who will get tired of the days of constantly killing their own people. They will grit their teeth and leave with a relatively rich reward, and then they will spend all their money due to the habits they developed during their mercenary days. In desperation, He returned to his old business and recruited a group of old brothers to take over the work.

This is normal. Since the Civil War, this situation is not so common that everyone knows it, but it can be regarded as an unspoken rule among the upper class. People know very little about these things under information control, especially Victoria is still a quite Tolerant and open metropolises are also more receptive to Sakaz people.

But one thing changed this slow bloodletting situation:

Ghost of Kazdaele.

When this sudden and terrifying thing first appeared, the mercenaries only thought it was a strange mercenary group building momentum and planning to make a name for themselves and join the civil war to get a good job. They even had the leisure to laugh at those who were killed at night. The poor missing team.

In the minds of the veterans, there were so many people asking for a price, and they even dared to bet on how long Kazdaele's ghost could be active as a bargaining chip.

As a result, the situation got out of hand.

When the experienced mercenaries reacted, half of their number was gone. The mercenary camps in the hinterland of Kazdaele were wiped out one after another, silently and without traces. Only Kai was left quietly The Kazdel camp on the border can still provide shelter for mercenaries, but the rest of the area becomes a hunting ground for ghosts at night.

For a time, all the Sakaz mercenaries were in panic. They used strong force to determine their own destiny, and also deprived the weak of their lives. But now, they have become the most insignificant bargaining chip in the balance.

But the mercenaries had some hope at least - Trasis discovered this strange situation and sent nearly 3000 people, boasting an army of 1 people, to show the Kazdaile ghost to the world. Theresa was not It is clear, but as a sharp knife, Askaron will never sit still and wait for death. Even the order of the lady may not change the cruelty and coldness of the female general.

Many old mercenaries who had settled down still laughed at the Ghost of Kazdare for not knowing how to advance or retreat. Now it's good, both sides of the civil war have become his enemies!

What happened next slapped the mercenaries in the face.

The ghost doesn't care who is whose army. Whether it is the unknown Askaron expedition or the prestigious Regent's Legion, they were all completely defeated by the terrifying force. The past honors and achievements have become the ghost's terror. A trivial addition to the legend.

Until a certain point in time, the ghost suddenly disappeared, as if something behind him had eaten and drank enough, and was gradually digesting the hard-earned blood food, and in order to circulate the ecology and allow more bait to develop better, the food at night Kazdaele gradually returned to normal.

There will no longer be the tragedy of the disappearance of all members of the mercenary group marching at night, nor will there be brutal meat grinder-style fighting - when night is no longer an option for combat, the mercenaries can only bleed during the day in order to make ends meet, which makes While the intensity of the war further escalated, it became slightly absurd.

And now it's finally over.

But there are also many mercenaries who are really afraid, or in other words, have far-sighted vision.

They thought carefully and discovered the following fact: a malnourished man had enough to eat and drink, and let a large number of prey go without killing and storing it. What did he want to do?

It can only be said that this monster is gradually replenishing its depleted body and gradually regaining its strength. It plans to feast and eat as much as it wants after it is repaired.

Under this kind of concern whether it was caution or cowardice, many mercenary groups left Kazdaele neatly, so that this land that had been bleeding since the civil war could finally rest a little.

But there are still many ambitious people looking for opportunities in the mercenary camp, trying to become a new trend-setter.

However, a month ago, fears of leaving the team came true.

The Ghost of Kazdaele appears again!

This terrible freak became even more hungry.

In the past, they could only look for blood food in the hinterland, but now the hunting range has increased dramatically, and it is no longer even limited to night. During the day, many rebuilt mercenary camps have disappeared directly.

This evil ghost is no longer even satisfied with the vigorous Sakaz mercenaries.

He attacked ordinary civilians who were about to leave his hunting circle:

He seemed to have reawakened another kind of monster: these things with the appearance of Sakaz people would repeatedly talk about favorable conditions among the refugees, and use their beautiful voices to lure these poor people to follow them and leave.

As a result, except for a few survivors in the vast wasteland, there was no trace of these civilians anymore.

Survivors often wake up to find that their surroundings are completely empty. Judging from their memories, these monsters are different from ghosts. They seem to abide by certain rules. As long as they are not violated, nothing will happen - but they have completely lost their sense of control at that time. In terms of detailed memory, I can only vaguely remember that something similar to the Sakaz people communicated with them, and completed the cycle of life and death quietly.

The harsher environment has no impact on the Sakaz civilians who cannot leave and can only rot in Kazdael - they have no intention of leaving, they just live on this land and don't starve to death.

But it was a bit scary for the mercenaries - so more strong men had to leave here in fear and sneak into different countries to do shady jobs.

——Is there any other way to get money?

The remuneration for such a trivial job cannot even cover the cost of repairing their equipment!

It can only be done to complete the shady and vicious strategies of those big shots.

And these mercenaries' brutal methods and ruthless style often don't care about the casualties of those around them - what else can they do?Even the enlightened Victorians can't stand such non-stop terrorist attacks for three days!

Therefore, both reasonably and unreasonably, Xiao Furong and Xiao Yanrong's parents lost their jobs, and they didn't even have the opportunity to do part-time jobs. Overnight, this small family with a little savings seemed to be falling apart.

——When a huge dilemma comes, even adults don’t know what to do.

Victoria's xenophobia towards Sakaz became more and more serious. Fu Rong and Yan Rong's father clearly realized this: they just couldn't find a job now, but these mercenaries would continue to work for a living, and Victoria's emotions would also change. I am getting more and more excited, when the time comes...

The fortune history of these films is not as innocent as they boast...

Until a detective wearing low-key luxury found this precarious little family.

No.17 The Strange Person from Victoria ([-])

This is a very strange young man.

The black hair hangs down to the shoulders, and the fluffy black cat ears show no sign of shaking. They stand plain and elegant on the top of the head. Even the fluff above seems to reveal arrogance and nobility.

The detective wore a black trench coat, a white shirt underneath, a pair of black wear-resistant thick material pants, tied with a belt, and leather shoes underneath.

Wearing pure black all over, this kind of outfit is actually quite common in Londinium and looks very low-key. Judging from the fabric, special logos and hand-sewn accessories, this is another expensive luxury outfit. It becomes more refined and luxurious under the background of this man's mysterious and strange temperament.

The man is very strange. He wears a dance mask with strange patterns that only covers the upper half of his face. He also wears a monocle outside the mask. His eyes are like a demon with a divine light. The only interesting thing is What's more, he is wearing a deerstalker hat unique to Victorian detective novels, as if he wants to prove his identity.

Pure black, only the mask was completely different, and a monocle was superfluously put on the mask. The strange man with eyes that had strange colors that he had never seen before calmly came to the home of Xiao Furong and Xiao Yanrong. Under the nervous reception of their mother, Next, we wait for the father of the two sisters to return.

——The poor father went out to find a job again!

He is a man with good habits and a gentle temper. He does not drink alcohol and smokes occasionally, but he always goes out from home to chat with neighbors and smoke. There is no smell of cigarettes in the room. Even if he is unemployed, this man has not contracted bad habits and is still smoking. Trying every possible means to maintain a decent life in Londinium.

The mother also told the two sisters that it didn't matter. They would get through this difficult time and the days to come would get better and better.

Both Xiao Furong and Xiao Yanrong, who were new to the world, believed it, but they did not see that as time went by, their parents' night talks became more frequent and their mother's eyes became more and more worried.

A few days ago, my father brought back a lot of food and a lot of good things to my mother and children. The mother of the children had her first shirt since she lost her job. It was white cotton velvet, which felt comfortable and warm.

Xiao Yanrong got the staff model he liked, while Xiao Furong got a small sewing box and happily mended the little stuffed animal that was accidentally torn by her sister.

His father said that a big shot took a fancy to his skills and planned to hire him, so he gave him a deposit in advance.

The mother smiled for the first time since she had no part-time job. She complained in a low voice that her father spent unnecessary money to buy things for them. At the same time, she asked him what happened to the people who hired him and whether there was any danger.

Her father told her with a hearty smile that it didn't matter and he was just waiting for the good news in a few days.

But my father didn't put his hopes in a basket. In the past few days, he was trying every means to introduce jobs to the old guys he knew before, and he used every opportunity to find a way out for their future.

And today this employer who paid a big price came here.

"Thank you for the tea, madam." After the man took off his hat to show courtesy, he was invited to the home by Xiao Furong and Xiao Yanrong's mother, where he sat with a family of four

At the square table where we often ate, my mother handed me twice as much ordinary black tea.

"Although life is a bit rough now, it can be seen that everyone is living happily under the care of Madam such a virtuous person."

The man complimented.

He took another sip of black tea, put his deerstalker hat on the table, and looked at the furnishings in the room through the mask, his eyes actually glowed with blue light!

"I like to be clean and take care of my family. I don't have high or low requirements for the two sisters, but I love them very much. The two girls also like you, madam, and the man of the house is obviously a good gentleman who is willing to take responsibility at home. Well respected.”

After reading it with his head shaking, the man smiled and chatted with his mother who was standing beside him and didn't know what to do.

"? Sir, you are right. Are you...?"

The mother, who has purple hair, curved horns, a delicate appearance, and a good figure, is very wary of the man's words, but she doesn't want to get angry, so she can only dryly hint that the other party pays attention to their privacy.

"Well……"

The great detective subconsciously observed his mother's reaction, and the beautiful little woman couldn't help but take a step back. She covered her chest with the dinner plate and protected the two sisters by her side.

"Ah, indeed."

The corners of the detective's mouth curled up in an apologetic arc: "Madam, my name is Klein Conan Moriarty, a Victorian Philanderer, and I am a detective."

"I received several recruitment advertisements not long ago to help my employer recruit some skilled and experienced Sakaz engineers in Victoria. The price offered is very good. Your husband's performance in the factory is just a tool in the eyes of the foreman. But his colleagues speak highly of him. I found him a few days ago and talked a lot with him. He is a good person with a solid foundation and rich experience."

The detective named Klein smiled and introduced his background to his mother. He recalled the scene when he met his father as evidence to show that he was harmless. By the way, he invited his mother to sit across from him and continue the conversation:

"Please sit down, madam. I'm not some pervert. Although your beauty makes me happy, a Victorian gentleman should not act out of the blue towards a lady who cares about her family and loves her husband and children."

"I'm just... in the habit of a detective to observe what kind of family the person I hired has. Do I need to leave my family in Victoria, forward part of his salary to you for use as a family fund, or should I take you and your family with me? Your daughters go together wherever their employer demands.”

Although the pretty little woman was still wary, she sat on the chair opposite to the detective's eloquent voice and listened to the man who would give the family's breadwinner a new job. He spoke with great enthusiasm:

"Your palms are slightly rougher than those of Sakaz women of the same origin, and the calluses are not thick, but judging from the color and position, they are not traces of childhood. This shows that you have been doing some hard work in recent years. .”

"The clothes of the two little ladies are very neat. Although they are not the latest styles, they are not the popular styles four or five years ago. Judging from the style of children's clothing, they are imitations of the styles often worn by Princess Aslan a year ago."

"But there are some small marks in Xiao Yanrong's nails. Although she washes her hands very carefully, I am a detective after all and can see some small details. Judging from the color, it is this alley located quite far away. Inside, if you hadn't taken her out recently, I think Xiao Yanrong should have been beaten."

!

Xiao Yanrong's whole body was cold, and his small eyes were full of confusion under his mother's death gaze.
