miss mist go with the flow

Just at this time, Rosa also disposed of the shop owner's body and came back to report. Hearing Della's words, she nodded slightly and said to Amy in a low voice: "Linquan Winery is the most important partner of the Chamber of Commerce in the southern part of the empire." , I went there with the boss. Della is right, in addition to growing wine-related crops, the winery is also a well-known scenic spot, which is worth visiting."

Della's praise of Linquan Winery aroused Amy's curiosity, and Rosa's recommendation made Amy's interest soar.

Before leaving this time, Mi Luoke also told her that it is best to go to Linghua City to have a look, there are also her old friends there.

Judging from the unreliable memories that the moon elf often flashed back, he must be a powerful person to be her friend.

The most powerful one in Linghua City should be Linquan Winery, the owner of that winery is probably the "old friend" that Mi Luo asked Amy to meet.

Amy silently made an arrangement in her heart. When the affairs of Baita City were finished, she would immediately go to Linghua City, and then take an airship to visit the southern harbor...

"Are the things in your cargo box delivered for Linquan Winery?" Amy asked curiously, thinking of the large box mounted on the back of Loren's carriage.

"Those are hops purchased from other places, as well as seeds of some crops."

Della spoke bluntly, and immediately exposed the goods of this trade. Loren had no time to stop, so he could only sigh with his forehead, and let Della continue talking.

"In fact, the hops grown in Linquan Winery are of higher quality than the ones we bought." Della continued, "But those high-quality hops are used to make high-end drinks, and the winery's low-end business cannot be let go. , so we hired flexible merchants like us to go to other cities to purchase hops."

"The person in charge of managing this business is the secretary of the winery, Miss Nonis. She is also a wonderful person!" Della said the name again, and raised her thumb to express her praise. Miss Nonis's bartending skills and cooking skills are also superb, and she treats people peacefully, modestly and politely, without the airs of a big man at all. The last time I went to deliver goods, I also received a dessert gift made by her !"

The silly girl scratched her head, her expression became a little embarrassed, "But I didn't want to eat those desserts, and they were all destroyed later, it's a pity."

Nonis...

Amy chanted the name softly, feeling familiar, but couldn't recall a clearer memory.

Maybe you have to wait until you have seen it before you can trigger past memories.

"Sounds like a very interesting person." Amy said, "I will find time to visit Linquan Winery. By the way, Della, are you going directly to Linghua City this time?"

Della shook her head and was about to speak, but was stopped by Loren's hand.

The middle-aged merchant moistened his throat and said, "We still have to go to Baita City to collect a batch of goods, and then go to Linghua City. Two ladies, do you want to drop in? Do you want to go together?"

Amy chuckled, the so-called traveling together was more about her and Xilin's strength, and wanted to take her and Xilin's protection.

It's not surprising that a small and weak individual businessman has such a tricky idea, and Amy can understand it.

And after some conversation, she actually had a good impression of Della, a silly girl. She was a little stupid, but her apology was serious enough that she could try to make friends.

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 33 Shadows in the Dark

Sirin didn't keep Amy waiting for a long time. In less than an hour, she came down from the mountain and returned to the rest house.

Amy walked to the door, hugged Sirin gently, and welcomed the triumphant return of Miss Swordsman with practical actions.

Then she keenly noticed that the swordsman's jacket on Sirin was not the same as the one she wore before going up the mountain.

Swordsmen uniforms are the standard clothing, and the styles are generally the same. Sirin's several sets of clothes are also similar, but there are still subtle differences, such as the way the cuffs are drawn up, the depth of dyeing of the fabric, etc. Observe Those who are not as sensitive as the brain cannot detect such subtle differences, but Amy can.

She patted Sirin on the back, and said with a slight joke: "You're pretty fast, you walked back and forth in an hour, and you still have time to change clothes."

Sirin put her head on Amy's shoulder, closed her eyes and slowed down her breathing, felt the faint body fragrance of the Moon Elf, and said softly: "That coat accidentally smelled of blood, if you don't like that smell, I will Change it first."

Ami turned her face away, rubbed Sirin's cheek, frowned and said: "With your skill and Li sword skills, you will still be stained with blood when you deal with those bandits? Are you in any trouble? "

The corner of Sirin's lips curled up into a smile. Amy cared enough about her to notice the subtle difference in her clothes.

This kind of concern made her feel warm and satisfied.

She leaned close to the tip of the moon elf's long ears, deliberately breathed first, and felt the body of the person in her arms tremble slightly, and then she smiled and said: "Actually, I left that blood-stained coat on the mountain .”

"Ok?"

Amy was a little surprised. Sirin was used to hard times, and she always spent money tightly. She also used all her belongings carefully, and was thrifty. It was hard to imagine that such a thing as throwing away soiled clothes would happen to her. .

"I tampered with that coat." Sirin said softly, "I acted too quickly, and the bandits were too weak, so I didn't leave any news of the interrogation alive."

"If they acted on the orders of the lord, then after losing contact, the lord will definitely send someone to investigate. The means I left behind allow me to quickly locate the investigators. If they are really the lord's cronies, it proves that our guess is correct. "

Ami frowned, "After confirming your guess, what are you going to do?"

Sirin said: "The empire has an intelligence organization called the Dark Guard, and a department in it is responsible for reviewing the achievements of the lords from all over the country, and giving feedback to the emperor who is far away in Camelot City. This kind of raising bandits threatens the people, taking the opportunity No monarch can accept the practice of raising security taxes."

"We spread the news through the Chamber of Commerce. Even if Lord Adams cannot be abdicated, we must disgust him and kill his prestige."

After talking about the plan, Sirin secretly sighed in her heart, if it was the Spiritual Wind Dance at her peak, she wouldn't be bothered to play this kind of trick.

She would carry the bandit's body and confront the lord directly. If Adams could not give a reasonable explanation, she would directly contact the hidden guard, report to the emperor, and demand severe punishment.

But now is not the era of Spiritual Wind Dance, and the Jiyi Sword Sect is also in decline, so she can only choose a slightly roundabout way.

"It's a pity to waste a piece of your clothes for such a trivial matter." Amy sighed in a low voice.

Sirin's lips trembled slightly, she inexplicably wanted to say something to Amy, the two sets of clothes that you tore during the treatment of the wound were actually a pity.

But this kind of words is not suitable for the current atmosphere, so she didn't say it.

The two hugged and whispered for a long time. Amy couldn't bear Miss Swordsman blowing in her ear all the time. It was so itchy, so she let go of her hand, took two steps back, and raised her voice a little bit: "What's the matter?" After processing, let's go on the road, it's getting late."

Sirin nodded, then looked at Della not far away, and said calmly: "There are 76 bandits on the mountain, all of them have been killed, and no ordinary people have been imprisoned. The methods of these bandits are very cruel. The meat tickets they tied up were all killed directly. When I entered the cottage, several people were still disposing of the corpses.

An embarrassed expression appeared on Della's face, she lowered her head and didn't know how to reply.

Amy quickly smoothed things over and said, "During the time you went to the mountain, we chatted for a while, and Della has already realized her mistake, and she will go to the White Tower City with us."

What this means is that Della, a silly girl, can be regarded as a temporary partner, so let Xilin stop teasing her.

Sirin turned her eyes slightly and nodded.

Now that Amy has made a decision, she will naturally not say anything more.

Rosa checked the horse and the carriage routinely, and after confirming that there was no problem, she drove the carriage slowly out of the rest area and onto the official road.

Loren's carriage followed behind them, with a distance of seven or eight meters, neither close nor far.

As the two carriages went away, the rest area became completely silent.

------

That night, two men in black leather armor and masks came outside the bandit's stronghold.

These two people are tall and short, the tall one is slightly fat, and the short one is thin, both male.

The two walked towards the cottage while chatting in low voices.

The short man complained in his voice: "These bandits only do small things like murder, robbery, kidnapping and slaughtering sheep. It doesn't make sense. Why did the high priest send the two of us here to do things for them?"

The tall man's voice was rather dull, "The Black Spiders are indeed not very popular, but with the help of them, we can contact the local Lord Adams."

"Black Spider has been a vicious dog for six years and wants to change his identity to live. We can just take over this position and become a more vicious vicious dog."

The short man shouted: "This is too out of place! When will the final destruction promised by the high priest come? I can't wait to see those high-ranking people panicked, decadent and waiting to die. It must be very fun! "

The tall man reassured him: "It's not long since you joined the organization. Don't worry too much. The high priest's promise is not a blank promise. We have already glimpsed the most real future through certain channels. If we want to reach that future, we must follow the big Follow the orders of the priest and complete your tasks honestly."

"Tsk tsk." The short man smacked his lips and said nothing.

The two pushed open the gate of the cottage and walked straight in.

The cottage was very quiet, there were no sounds of insects, ants, snakes, mice, people, or lights.

"Something's not quite right."

The tall man reached out to stop the short man, and looked around warily.

The short masked man sniffled and said, "There is a smell of blood, in that direction!"

The location he pointed to was the hall of the cottage. The tall man had been here before, and rushed in with his companions.

In the wide hall, half of it was already stained red with blood, and there were scattered corpses lying on the floor. Roughly, there were more than 50 corpses.

Judging from the food on the table, the cottage was having a dinner at that time, and most of the members were here, including the leader of the bandits, Black Spider.

Black Spider was also dead. He was sitting at the head of the largest table. His dark beard was particularly eye-catching, his pupils had already dilated, but his face still had a shocked expression.

His body was sliced ​​diagonally in half, and blood and viscera rendered the dinner table a scene of hell.

Seeing this situation, the tall masked man frowned, and the short man's breathing also became rapid - he was not afraid, but excited.

"Perfect killing scene like a work of art!"

The short masked man walked towards the head of the table, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he pointed to the main hall door, "The murderer came in through the main entrance, and the minions over there pointed at the murderer and asked about his origin. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, but they all failed, the murderer was stronger than they imagined, with only one sword—"

The short man straightened his arm, and raised it from the lower left to the upper right, a white arc flashed in the darkness under the night, and the sword energy bloomed with it.

Where the sword energy fell, a fresh incision was made on the many corpses on the ground, but nothing could flow out of the incision.

The short man also frowned, "It's not right, it should be only one sword, and there are no extra traces. Could it be that the murderer's sword will turn?"

He seemed to be in a state of bewilderment, and began to measure the area of ​​the hall with his feet, looked around for the scars on the corpse, and even inserted his fingers into the congealed pool of blood to test the thickness of the pool...

The tall man didn't care about his companion's bewildered state. He scanned the surroundings, walked up to the black spider, forced the eyes of the corpse to close, and put together half of the corpse.

After doing this, he walked to the back door of the hall and walked out along the half-open door.

After walking not too far, they came to the edge of the cliff, and there were also several corpses lying here, all of which were cut into two, looking extremely tragic.

The second master of the cottage was among them, and judging from the remaining signs at the scene, these people should have thrown their bodies down the mountain at that time, and they were caught by the murderer and killed with one blow.

Leaving the edge of the cliff, the tall masked man turned back, checked the kitchen and bedroom, and found the corpses of the remaining bandits.

More than 70 people on this mountain are basically lying here, and none of the five professionals escaped. The tall man tried to restore the killer's course of action. Judging from the killing speed, the man only took less than 10 minutes , and wiped out the bandit village, leaving no one alive.

Walking through another downhill intersection, the tall masked man narrowed his eyes and found a blood-stained black dress hanging on a branch.

He walked over and lifted up his clothes with his sword to check.

This is a coat of swordsmen's uniform. It is made of high-grade materials, exquisite workmanship, and expensive. Anyone who can afford this kind of clothes and can throw it away at will must be a rich person.

This is not surprising. From the previous traces, it can be inferred that this murderer is a strong professional, and such people are generally not so poor.

The tall masked man put the clothes in front of him and sniffed them lightly.

In addition to the smell of blood, there is also a very light feminine fragrance.

The killer was a woman?This is also in line with the characteristics of throwing away dirty clothes. Male professionals are usually not so repulsed by the smell of blood, but have the habit of leaving bloody clothes as spoils of war.

He didn't notice that when his body touched his clothes, an extremely concealed blue silk thread quietly climbed up his arm and stopped at his shoulder.

The masked man folded the blood-stained swordsman's uniform, put it away, and looked down the mountain along the intersection.

The night was dark, the moon and the stars had disappeared, and he could only see the shadows of lush trees, but nothing else.

The killer was very efficient. It only took about a quarter of an hour from going up the mountain to completing the extermination of the cottage, and then leaving. It should be a highly professional killer.

Although the habit of throwing clothes is very bad, but the jacket of that kind of standard clothing does not fit the figure, and there are other clothes inside, but there is no information about it.

Trouble.

The tall man rubbed the space between his brows through the mask. He came here to find the black spider, hoping to establish a connection with Adams through this person, lurking in the iris collar, waiting for the opportunity to complete other tasks of the organization.

Now there is no one left alive in the whole village, so he can only find another way.

And if Adams knew about the complete destruction of the cottage, and he happened to be here, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain.

The tall masked man patted his forehead lightly, and walked back to the hall of the cottage.

The short masked man noticed that he was back, and quickly turned to look at him, his eyes were extremely hot!

"Lukes, it's amazing! The person who killed these bandits must be a master of swordsmanship!"

The short man exclaimed excitedly: "I analyzed the traces left by the moves, and it is very likely that the man used Jizhi swordsmanship! But it is not the same as my school. His moves are older and have been modified!"

"Extreme swordsmanship?" The tall masked man got the unexpected information, and hurriedly asked, "Are there any powerful female killers in your extreme swords school?"

"Female?" The short man froze for a moment, and asked back, "It was a woman who killed these bandits? How did you know?"

"We have found some clues, and we can basically confirm that the murderer is a female swordsman." The tall masked man responded vaguely, "Also, don't call my name when performing tasks. This is an internal rule of the organization."

"Okay, I'll remember it, and I won't do it again next time." The short man waved his hand, not caring much about this so-called rule, "Is it a female swordsman in the Sword Sect? Allow me to think about it. "

The tall masked man did not urge him, and continued to check the situation in the hall. Not long after, he found a hidden entrance under a stone statue.

He went down to check, and it was a simple treasure room with several wooden boxes, some pitiful silver and copper coins, and a few gold coins.

This Adams is really a miser. The black spider does this kind of dirty work for him, and even scours all the oil and water. No wonder the black spider doesn't want to do it anymore.

The tall masked man secretly sneered, not interested in these tattered "treasures", and returned to the hall.

The short masked man already had an answer to his thinking, and said: "For some reason, the Jizhi Sword Sect has not established many female true disciples in recent years. As far as I know, only Uncle Aoji has Jurchen disciples. But I don’t know the more detailed situation, I only know that Auggie admires that apprentice very much.”
