When the first ray of light in the morning breaks up the dark night, it is reflected on the vast snowfield.
Rows of passengers walked forward on foot, and scattered carriages were dotted among them. Some passengers occasionally looked at the carriages with envy. Immediately, they looked at the director of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Chris Sharp, who was directing everyone with resentful eyes. There is no doubt that when the caravan arrived in Gangdian City, the complaint papers like snowflakes A piece of film will overwhelm this director member of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce.
In the luxuriously decorated carriage, Suleman leaned against the wall of the carriage, seemingly falling asleep, but actually maintained a doze.
Before arriving at Gangdian City, Suleman didn't dare to relax in the slightest. You must know that in his previous life, he was still a player, and he used to 'run darts' with some caravans. As a result, it was often the night before they arrived in a civilized city-state, they encountered a powerful desolate group, or simply a rebellion within the chamber of commerce, and everything was destroyed overnight. This experience made Suleman maintain an excellent vigilance.
Different from his experience, Ibis, as a young lady who was born in a wealthy family, experienced a night of "stimulation and tension". She was mentally exhausted and curled up at the foot of the wall, hugging her slender legs, gently fell into a deep sleep.
“This girl has good qualifications”
Suddenly, a voice came from Suleman's arms, and he looked down. The Black Abyss Secret Code named 'Sin Flame' quietly opened his eyes, looking at the beautiful girl in the corner, and said a word of judgment leisurely.
"Do you think she is very suitable as a 'contract object'?" Suleman raised his brows, thinking it was a bit amusing. Probably, Sin Yan must not have thought that the girl was its real host. This kind of feeling is not humane. also.
"No, you are more suitable than her."
Sin Yan said something faintly, and stopped answering his words. According to Sin Yan, even if he does not grant power, it is just that consciousness passes through the seal to communicate with the contract object, and some power will be consumed.
Of course, this kind of consumption is much smaller than holding a god-given ceremony. The difference between the two is probably a bottle of drinking water and a river running through the city. But from the looks of it, Duke Sinyan's ceremony is costly, so you have to plan carefully
Suleman was about to tease the other party a few words.
Suddenly, a voice came from his ear—
[Reminder: You have triggered the plot event - Chasing the Wanted (Lv15)]
Seeing the name of the event on the panel, Suleman's pupils shrank, especially the difficulty behind it, which made him immediately vigilant.
Lv15!
This definitely belongs to the difficulty of the 'transcendent level', not only that, but also a senior-level transcendent, or even a small team of transcendents, can reach this level of difficulty. After all, no matter how many sub-professions ordinary people have, the difficulty of the plot events involved in them will only be capped at Lv10.
You know, the plot event of destroying the entire White Wolf Group, with two superhumans, is judged to be Lv10 difficulty
"Could it be the follow-up revenge of the White Wolf Group?" Suleman vaguely guessed a bit of the truth based on the name of the incident.
As a pioneer with rich experience, inferring the plot is his strong point. First of all, the name of the plot event contains a certain amount of information. From this, it is not difficult to guess that the other party should be the follow-up plot of the "White Wolf Group".
The problem is, the entire White Wolf Group has been wiped out by him, who will seek revenge on Suleman
Unless, there is another force behind the White Wolf Group!
The White Wolf Group is just a pawn pushed to the front of the stage, the real master, the black hand hidden behind the scenes.
who will it be
Suleman's eyes froze, and he almost blurted out—
"Pilgrims!"
In fact, there are many directions that can be guessed, and there are many forces that meet the conditions. Within the scope of Gangdian City alone, there are large and small. Regardless of the official forces on the surface or the secret organizations hidden in the dark, the number is like stars.
Under normal circumstances, even Suleman would not be able to guess the identity of the other party, but the problem is that there is a condition that greatly shortens the range.
Suleman slightly raised his head and looked at the gap outside the carriage. Wisps of morning light penetrated into the carriage in an extremely weak state. Obviously, it was still early in the morning, and it was still early before the real daylight.
"Only a few hours."
Suleman confirmed in his heart that the moment he destroyed the White Wolf Group also happened in the middle of the night.
Now, only a few hours later, the faction that could meet the White Wolf Group (corpse) on the snowy field alone can eliminate most of the forces in Gangdian City, leaving only two possibilities.
First, the opponent itself is a desolate group on the snow field, but you must know that most of the famous desolate groups have their own scope of activities, and they will not rush into other people's territory, otherwise, the two sides will fight to the death.
The desolate group is all seeking money, and the primary targets are all passing caravans and travelers, so it is unlikely that the other party is the desolate group.
Only the second option Pilgrim is left!
As a pilgrim of the hunting desolate group on the snowfield, he is qualified to roam the snowfield and has the motivation to find corpses. The most important thing is that the other party can use the name of 'pilgrim' to do some private things.
Suleman is not an ordinary person who will unconditionally believe in the pilgrims. In his previous life, he has dug deep into the plot, and he knows more about the composition of the "pilgrims" than the lower-level members of the pilgrims.
[Reminder: Due to the change of the plot, your event·The Pursuit of the Wanted (Lv15) is over.]
"The plot event has been cancelled? They gave up the pursuit." Suleman nodded secretly. Sure enough, the system prompt matched his guess, which proved that the other party was the pilgrim!
It seems that the White Wolf Group has been incorporated, and their backstage is the pilgrims, but what is the motive behind the latter wandering on the snowy field, not hesitate to incorporate the White Wolf Group? What are they looking for
"Pilgrim, what is the purpose of searching on the snow field?"
"Could it be that my identity has been exposed?"
Suleman frowned, and for a moment, he shook his head and denied this idea.
impossible!
The original owner's identity was well hidden, and he was also a concubine who was not taken seriously, so he would not be on the wanted warrant at all. Otherwise, Suleman would have killed people to silence him—annihilated the entire caravan to cover up his whereabouts.
After all, the original owner used his real name, except for not having a surname, there was no change in other places, and his appearance was never concealed.
Ibis, Chris and others saw his appearance, all of them were real appearances. If there is a problem, with Suleman's character as a player, he has long been unparalleled in the crowd. City to expose his identity
unless
With a thought in his heart, Suleman took out a simple map and an exquisitely crafted silver dagger from the side.
These are the two relics that the original owner had taken away by the White Wolf Group. After he destroyed the opponent, he searched for them from Hawthorne, and now they are returned to the original owner.
Putting the silver dagger aside, Suleman spread out a simple map on the small table.
This is a map that is suspected to be made of sheepskin. It depicts snowfields, mountains, forests and other landmarks, as well as 'Steel Code City', 'Sith Relic City', 'Rage Shark Harbor', 'Bitter Cold Ice Wall', etc. The words actually cover half of the northern cold land, mainly in the north of Nusha Port, not counting the southern regions, such as the famous Fushi Palace, which is not marked on it.
In the barren northern cold soil and the wind and snow environment where it is easy to get lost, the value of an accurate map is self-evident.
No wonder, Hawthorn not only confiscated the silver dagger, but also kept this map close to him, which really deserves his attention.
But Suleman took out the map, not for this.
I saw that Suleman glanced at his arms and confirmed that 'Sin Flame' had already closed his eyes and fell asleep as he said.
The next moment, Suleman stretched out his fingernail, which was faintly entwined with black smoke, and swiped hard on the other finger—
puff!
A drop of blood fell on the map, and in the next instant, the entire map swallowed up the drop of blood. Like breathing, layers of ripples surged out and spread to the entire map. After a few seconds, the map was covered with dots The blue flame, very sparse.
Each blue flame represents the descendants of the Stuart family.
Suleman took a look, and at the location of Gangdian City, there was a blue flame burning quietly.
"really."
Suleman whispered to himself, he had already confirmed that the pilgrims did not come for him at all.
Their real target, in fact, is that deep blue flame in Gangdian City.
That dark blue flame representing the direct descendants!
With a light swipe, the abnormality on the map disappeared. Suleman touched his chin, thinking about countermeasures. After all, even if the opponent didn't come for him, it would still hinder his situation to some extent.
It's like a group of thieves are in a car, and suddenly, someone shouts: "The police are here!"
As a result, when a targeted thief escaped by jumping out of the window and found that a group of people next to him were also pulling on the window, and even competing with him for a seat, it was very embarrassing, and so was Suleman.
As a warm-hearted 'passer-by', at this moment, his best choice
Shouldn't it be an official report
Just as Suleman was thinking about a bold idea, suddenly, Chris's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Mr. Suleman, we have finally arrived at our destination!"
"arrive?"
With a thought in his heart, Suleman got up and pushed Ibis, who was sleeping, to wake up. The next moment, the two of them went out from the carriage door.
Huh, a gust of wind and snow is coming, the two of them looked up and saw in the wind and snow not far away,
A majestic and huge city, it is surrounded by metal walls on all sides, double-layered inside and outside, a large number of steam pipes are erected on the wall, and the end is a fort powered by this. In the distance, there is a towering clock tower in the city. The most dazzling thing is the Code Tower in the center. It is a bell tower, but a book of Code is erected on the top, as if monitoring the entire city.
The pointer, which symbolizes time, rotates slightly on the code, as if following its instructions, moving step by step.
Occasionally, there are figures riding giant eagle creatures falling from the sky into this steel-built city.
This is the symbol of the cold land in the north, and it is one of the civilized city-states that have survived since the beginning of the third era.
Steel Code City.
The second update, asking for tickets, because the front was blocked by the blue screen, there is really no manuscript, this chapter is all coded now. Huh, 5K words were updated today.
