Chapter 32 Adventure Group
Paul Grayman took Morrison to the room and asked, "Are there no treasures or anything like that here?"
"I don't think so. It’s clear, the Shark Gang’s money is strictly controlled, and only a few core people know about it. But about two hours ago, a group of people came and took away some large and small boxes.”
"It looks like they really took the money and ran away. Help me pray to the Lord of Light to save them. But at this juncture, there is internal strife. It's really desperate."
Morrison listened. Then he was very surprised: "Infighting? I have never seen pirates fighting among themselves."
Paul asked: "What happened to the corpses of these pirates?"
Morrison looked confused: "Didn't your people do it, sir? I hid after I heard the noise. "
When Paul heard this, he panicked and immediately ordered to the surrounding soldiers: "Be alert, there may be other people ambushing here." After speaking, he took out the gunpowder bottle and loaded his pistol.
The soldiers cheered up and escorted the count to the lobby on the first floor.
At this time, a soldier ran out from the adjacent corridor and came to Paul to make a report: "Report! Director Cecil discovered a basement with some suspicious persons inside. They have all been surrendered. But the other party claims that he is not a pirate, and he asks you how to deal with it.”
"Oh? It turns out there are really other people in this church. Let's go and take me over to have a look."
...
"I have told you so many times that we are not pirates. Have you seen it before? Am I such a beautiful pirate girl with natural beauty?”
Meru Heimer, the leader of the Leachman Adventure Group, frowned and protested loudly. Now that her hands are tied, she can only vent in this way. My own dissatisfaction.
However, no matter how she protested, the gloomy-looking man turned a deaf ear and just stood opposite with his arms folded.
"Let it go or not, kill it or not, what do you want to do?" Meru asked loudly again, but the same result was lost.
The green-haired girl wearing a scholar's hat advised: "Meru, stop shouting. I guess this person is waiting for his superiors to deal with us."
Oh, this time What a capsize in the gutter! Dean next to him sighed inwardly.
The plan went smoothly at first. After two strange loud noises were heard outside the city, most of the pirates who were left guarding the church were transferred. They lurked near the church and waited quietly for a while. Fortunately, there were not many pirates left in the church and a group of people carried out several large boxes and loaded them on the carriage to the dock. They judged that the pirates couldn't stand it anymore and planned to run away. They couldn't wait any longer and had to seize the opportunity. It would be terrible if the pirates moved the hostages away later.
The members of the adventure group showed their special abilities and raided the church. There were still a few pirates left in the church, probably because they were checking for any missing important things in the church. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, they were all noobs and were no match for them. They were eliminated in three strikes, five divisions and two. After the battle, they searched the church carefully and found an entrance to a basement at the end of a corridor. After going down, they found that only Susan's mayor grandfather was inside. The old man had been tortured to the point of unconsciousness. Their initial target - the corner Young Master Bourne of the Bay Alliance is not here.
The leader of the group, Meru Heimer, made a prompt decision and asked the green-haired girl Ladi to help Susan's grandfather go back first while the others went after the pirates. However, just when everyone was about to return to the ground, there were dense footsteps above, and they had to hide back in the basement.
After Cecil, the intelligence chief, led the soldiers into the basement, he noticed that there was someone inside, and immediately ordered the "pirates" to surrender their weapons, and stated that the army led by Lord Alda had arrived, and that resistance to the end would lead to death. .
The members of the adventure group then realized that it was the local lord's army that was attacking Port Fulan, and they hurriedly defended themselves as not pirates, but adventurers who came to rescue the kidnapped hostages.
How could the suspicious intelligence chief believe so easily and insist that the adventure group put down their weapons? The leader of the group, Meru Heimer, was also impatient. Dean and Ladi, who were always calm in the adventure group, persuaded their leader, so everyone handed over their weapons. Cecil ordered someone to tie their hands, and then sent someone to ask Paul for instructions.
Time passed by second by second. After what everyone in the adventure group felt was an extremely long wait, someone finally walked into the basement along the stairs. "A boy?" Everyone was very confused after seeing the appearance of the visitor.
Paul asked: "Are these the suspicious people you caught?" A pink-haired flat-chested girl, a blue-haired pretty boy, a yellow-haired killer, and a green-haired girl wearing a scholar's hat , because the hat blocked it and the light was too dark, I couldn’t see clearly what I looked like.
Cecil replied respectfully: "Yes, my lord. They claim that they are adventurers from the south and came here to rescue the hostages kidnapped by pirates, but my subordinates think it is better to be cautious."< br>
Paul nodded: "Well, you did the right thing."
He turned to everyone in the adventure group: "Tell me, how do you prove your identity?"
The people in the Leachman Adventure Group were surprised. Listening to the boy's voice, it was obvious that he was still in the voice-changing stage. In other words, he was about fifteen years old, which was too young for a lord.
Team battle Meru said eagerly: "Are you the lord here? We are really here to save people, please let us go."
Dean wanted to cry after hearing this With tears in his eyes, he hurriedly whispered into Meru's ear: "Master Captain, we are just meat on someone's chopping board now, why don't you use an honorific title? The other party is a feudal noble like Giles the Greedy Wolf, and he is his own territory. The master here is not as easy to talk to as the cassock nobles here. I heard that these northern lords are arrogant and domineering. If they make him unhappy, he will find an excuse to kill us and find someone to reason with."
Look. As they whispered, Paul became alert: "What are you doing? I warn you not to collude in confession!"
Just as Dean was about to defend himself, his companion who had been silent next to him suddenly said: "This distinguished man Lord, I think you should consider the safety of your people first. The old man next to you who was tortured unconscious by the pirates is the local mayor. Please lend a helping hand. His family can prove our identity."
Paul looked at the green-haired girl who was speaking, and the girl stared directly at him, revealing her face.
She was dressed in the clothes of a traveling scholar, with her whole body covered tightly. The face above the stand-up collar showed a charm that was far beyond that of ordinary women, and her eyes had red pupils that were extremely rare in this world.
Just when Paul looked at her, he suddenly felt the girl's pupils light up subtly. Was it an illusion?
A slight feeling of dizziness came over him. He shook his head to dispel the feeling, thinking to himself: "Oh, I was so excited about the siege battle the next day last night that I stayed up all night. Now I am mentally exhausted. I'm feeling sluggish and I need to find some time to catch up on my sleep. "
He suppressed the urge to yawn and said, "Okay, what you said makes some sense, Cecil, you know Fulan. The mayor of Hong Kong? ”
Cecil looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, sir, I know the mayor is an old man, but I really don't know what he looks like."
"You go find a doctor to treat this old man. By the way, Find some townspeople to confirm his identity." Director Ford, who is in charge of territorial affairs, may know the local mayor, but he did not come with the army.
"Yes!" Cecil responded, calling two soldiers to carry the old man out.
Paul turned to the members of the adventure group: "As for you, you can leave only after the old man wakes up and proves your innocence." He would not just believe one side of the story just because there was a beautiful woman inside.
Dean said: "Lord, the mayor was already unconscious when we came here. He doesn't know us. But you can ask his granddaughter Susan to testify for us." Then he reported to Su Shan's address.
Paul promised: "I will find her right away. I hope you are really innocent."
No one noticed, and the green-haired girl beside him breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
