The casino in Hegu Town is in the northwest, it is a big two-story wooden house, it can be said that it is the most prosperous place in Hegu Town, it is said that the owner of the casino is the nephew of the mayor of Hegu Town, because although the casino is making a lot of money every day, But the militia never came for trouble.
After entering the casino, Yake and Gridan stood on both sides of Link, protecting him in the middle.
There are a lot of people in the casino, most of them are red-eyed gamblers. There is a female croupier with scantily clad clothes and a hot figure in front of each card table, and there are strong guards at various key positions in the casino.
Here, there are prostitutes, pickpockets, swindlers, scammers, and all kinds of guys.
After entering the casino, Yake looked around and walked towards a card table in the corner.
As he walked, he introduced to Link: "My lord, I saw that little man with yellow hair. His name is Jimmy. It is said that he can send news to people in Syndicate."
This is the ability of Yake and others. They have been at the bottom of society in the past, and they have a good understanding of the twists and turns of the bottom, and this is what Link lacks.
Link looked over, and this little Jimmy didn't go to the poker table, but was watching from the side of the poker table. His hands and feet were a little dirty. During the time Link walked over, this guy's hand stretched into two poker tables. gangster's pocket.
This guy didn't steal a lot, he only stole a few copper coins by himself, and his hand speed was also very fast, like a superficial touch, he completed the crime in one go, and the few people around him didn't feel it at all.
"This is a thief." Link said softly.
"They are thieves, but Syndicate is a group of thieves." Gridan continued.
While talking, the three of them walked up to Jimmy. Jimmy felt something was wrong and wanted to walk away, but Yake and Gridan stood on the left and right, silently blocking his retreat route.
"What do you want to do? Tell you, I'm not easy to mess with." Jimmy swallowed, forced his chest out, and reached for his trouser pocket with the other hand, where a dagger was hidden.
But as soon as he moved his hand, Gridan raised his hand and slashed Jimmy's wrist like lightning.
This blow was very heavy, Jimmy's wrist shook, and he let out a muffled grunt. His other hand hurriedly grabbed his wrist, and he couldn't move his hand temporarily.
Only then did Link come forward, and the crescent wand, which he made into a wooden stick, tapped on Jimmy's chest. There was a faint magical glow at the tip of the wooden stick: "I heard that you can send a message to the Syndicate?"
Link's voice was very soft, and did not cause any disturbance in the noisy casino. The movements of the three were also very secretive. Several guards around looked over, but seeing that there was no major conflict, they looked away.
In the casino, such small conflicts abound, and they can't take care of everything, as long as they don't make things big.
Jimmy felt differently. He could feel an indescribable breath in his chest, which was a little cold and painful. Coupled with the faint magic light, he immediately knew that he had met a magician, and he was frightened. His body was trembling, and his voice tremblingly replied: "Yes, yes, I can send messages."
"Then you take the word to me right now, just say that the thing is with me. If the woman dies or has even a scar on her body, then they will never get it. Remember, my name is Link, and I am a magician. Live in the hotel in River Valley Town!" Link's voice was very low, his eyes were as cold as ice, when he was speaking, he slightly let go of the control of the magic energy in his body, the air around his body was affected, and a The air ripples visible to the naked eye are like rolling heat waves.
He now has nearly 100 points of mana, and he has fully regenerated. This is already at the level of an ordinary second-level magician. It is quite frightening to appear at this time. It is enough to scare ordinary people.
The yellow-haired Jimmy had never experienced such a battle, and immediately nodded wildly: "I will bring the words, no, I will go now!"
Link restrained his breath, then lightly tapped Jimmy's chest with the wand in his hand, secretly using a mage's hand, the magical power passed through the muscles and ribs on Jimmy's chest, gently pinching the beating heart in his chest .
Jimmy felt a slight stagnation in his heart. The feeling of his heart being pinched by his hands was too terrifying. He was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to move his body.
"Don't lie, be fast, otherwise, the magic I planted in your heart will blow your heart to pieces!" As he said, Link withdrew the mage's hand.
Used to scare ordinary people who don't understand magic, the trick of the mage's hand is really easy to use. Of course, if it is a powerful warrior, this trick is useless, because the magic power contained in the trick is too weak, and it is extending into them. The process of the body will be blocked by their strength.
Jimmy was going crazy. As soon as Link let him go, he ran away, saying as he ran, "I'm going to deliver your message now."
Well, all we can do after that is wait.
Link said to Yake and Gridan: "Let's go, let's go to the hotel in River Valley Town and wait for the syndicate to contact us."
He knew that the forces behind the scenes valued the magic rune very much, and this rune was placed in the crystal pendant by Link, so that it would not leak the slightest breath, so the other party could not find him.
Since they couldn't find it, and Link put down such a threatening sentence, they would most likely not dare to act rashly. The sensible way must be to send someone to contact them.
Doing so can save Lucy's life to the greatest extent possible.
The next step depends on the information brought by the syndicate messenger.
The three of them left the casino, and when they were walking on the road, Link said to Yake and Gridan, "I know you have doubts, right?"
Yake was startled, and then asked: "My lord, we want to know what the Syndicate really wants?"
From the conversation between Link and Jimmy just now, he could feel that Link knew what the other party really wanted, and it was probably not gold coins.
Gridan also had the same doubts.
Link didn't hide it either: "Remember the dark crystal that Werther carried? It has an official name called the Enchanted Rune. I guess they should come here for this thing."
"My lord, can this thing be handed over to them?" Yake asked thoughtfully.
Link shook his head very positively, and said righteously: "Absolutely not. This is a very evil magic device, and I have sealed it. If I give this thing to them, it will give the entire Gwent Forest, and even Norton Kingdom Bring bad luck. At that time, something terrible will happen, and it may even destroy the entire Gwent Forest. At that time, none of us can escape."
This is all the truth, not a lie. An accident happened at the Magic Academy, and most of the magic elite lost, which made them unable to fight against the army of dark elves.
Upon hearing that such a terrible disaster might be triggered, Yake and Gridan fell silent immediately. They didn't know why this happened, but they believed that Link would never lie to them.
There was a slight smile on Link's face: "How about it, Yake, Gridan, do you feel the disadvantage of being powerful?"
When your strength becomes stronger, you can do things that ordinary people cannot do. The things you do will attract the attention of people who are as powerful as you, so you will face stronger and more terrifying opponents, and naturally more dangerous.
For example, in the matter of destroying the Dark Brotherhood, if the flamingo mercenary team were to rely solely on them, not to mention destroying the Dark Brotherhood, even Werther would not be able to kill them, and they might be killed if they were not careful. Once the magic rune is reached, there will be no follow-up danger.
But now, the situation is different.
Yake understood what Link meant, and he smiled: "My lord, everyone is going to die, it depends on how to die. I can fight to death with the strong who looked down on me before, and my life is not in vain."
Gridan clenched the bow in his hand: "My lord, this is the fate of mercenaries."
Link smiled, and he saw the right person: "It's not that bad, it's just a branch of the Syndicate. We can destroy the Dark Brotherhood, and we can kill the Demonized Werther. The Syndicate group is hiding Your thief is nothing!"
To be honest, the Syndicate is indeed a bit tricky. The first tricky thing is to worry about Lucy's life. The second tricky thing is the power of the Syndicate all over the human world. Even if Gwent's branch in the forest is wiped out, there will be troubles endless.
It doesn't matter to him himself, and he will be fine if he enters the Magic Academy and hides in the future, but Yake and others will be in trouble. Link is very sorry for this, and he feels that he needs to think of some measures to reduce the pressure that his followers will face in the future. risk.
But how to do it, Link has no idea for the time being.
'Forget it, don't think too much, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and you can see how to take the next step after taking one step, first rescue Lucy. 'Link restrained all worries about the future and only focused on the present.
On the other side, seeing Link say that, Yake and Gridan also breathed a sigh of relief. Link is their backbone and the most powerful force. Since he has confidence, they just need to follow him and go all the way.
At this moment, Link heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a beautiful carriage coming from a distance.
The carriage is pulled by four precious pure-blooded Koroma horses. The carriage compartment is made of solid iron ebony, and many places are inlaid with mithril runes. It can be seen that it is blessed with defensive magic.
This carriage is several times better than the one Ailette is riding in!
"I don't know which big man is here." Link and the others moved aside early. As a nobleman, he knows a lot about carriages, which show the dignity of a nobleman.
Such a carriage is worth at least 2,000 gold coins. His cheap father, Hamilton Molenny, also has a carriage, but that carriage is only worth 300 gold coins, which is several grades worse than the one in front of him.
Hegu Town is very close to Wangdu, and the scenery is beautiful. There are often dignitaries from the capital come to have a rest. It is normal for such a carriage to appear.
However, his mind is now full of saving people, and he has no intention of paying attention to these big figures who have no contact with him.
However, he didn't realize that when the carriage passed by them, a figure flashed behind the carriage, and after a while, the carriage stopped.
A knight following the carriage walked to the window, as if listening to something, then the knight turned his horse's head and walked towards the three of Link.
Yake and Grindan were a little surprised, and instinctively clenched their weapons. Link was also a little surprised, but he didn't panic. He pressed his hand lightly to calm the emotions of the two mercenaries. He whispered, "It's okay."
After speaking, he greeted him.
The knight quickly arrived in front of Link and shouted condescendingly, "Young man, report your name."
Link didn't answer right away. He carefully observed the knight in front of him. He was wearing carved silver plate armor and a sky blue battle robe. On the chest of the battle robe was a roaring lion printed and dyed, which was the family crest.
In the kingdom of Norton, the roaring lion represents Norton's royal family, the Abel family.
In other words, the knight in front of him is a noble knight of the kingdom, and the big man in the carriage should be a member of the royal family.
Link didn't know why the other party asked his name, but he still replied: "My name is Link Moleney, and Viscount Hamilton is my father."
He said his aristocratic surname. In the communication with the nobles, showing his aristocratic status can put himself in a relatively equal position with the other party, and can communicate better.
Sure enough, when he said this, the knight looked at him with less contempt, and almost at the same time, there was a soft exclamation sound from the carriage not far away.
The voice was very soft, but it was very familiar. Link's memory was abnormal, and he immediately knew the identity of the person in the carriage. It was Anne Abel, the only daughter of the Iron Duke, and the niece of King Lane.
But, shouldn't she be in Greenstone? How did it appear in River Valley Town
