Chapter 044 Missing a Thousand Gold
Bang, bang, bang——
The gunshots came one after another, and every time there was a flash of fire, there would always be a rioter falling to the ground, holding his knees, at a loss.
Only at the moment of falling did they notice that their knee had exploded.
The wounds were bloody and bone-breaking, and even contrary to common sense, there was no pain at all, just numbness.
This feeling is more terrifying than being stabbed by someone!
The most crucial thing was that with the protection of that group of nobles' guards, they simply couldn't break through and kill that guy. In just a few minutes, thirty or forty people on their side fell.
But there was almost no result. Every time a gunshot rang out, a person fell down, and the interval between gunshots was no more than three seconds.
If this continues, even if we kill all our men, we won’t be able to take down this group of people.
"retreat!"
The sound of bells came from somewhere in the woods.
When all the mob heard the sound, they hurriedly retreated and fled in all directions like crazy.
Colin did not give up the attack just because the enemy retreated. He emptied another magazine and left a few "Big Eater" followers before stopping shooting.
After confirming their retreat, the old butler in the carriage team turned his gaze to Colin, and his hand holding the cross sword tensed...
The distance between the two sides was less than ten meters.
At this distance, if the Knight's Six Skills were used, the person could be taken down in just one second.
In his opinion, this attack was too coincidental. First, he encountered an ambush by a group of people who were suspected to be other nobles, and then there happened to be a friendly person who held an unknown weapon and repelled the enemy.
It's a bit too fake...
But he couldn't guarantee that he could definitely defeat the other party.
That metal weapon was too mysterious. It seemed to have obvious flaws. It seemed that it could not attack the person behind the object, and it needed to be filled with something after every six rings.
But he couldn't guarantee that this was a "loophole" that the other party could leave.
At this moment, he saw the young lady waved her hand, signaling not to take any action. The old butler sighed and withdrew his hostility.
…
"Have you suppressed your hostility for the time being? I thought that the cunning rabbit would die and the running dog would be killed..."
Colin was now very sensitive to hostile gazes, and he had determined before the cooperation that the old butler seemed to have been keeping his eyes on him.
I even felt like taking action just now...
I don't know why I suppressed it in the end.
But if a conflict really happens, he wouldn't mind teaching the other person how to make his kneecap disappear.
"Sir, what are you going to do with these people?" Helena, wearing a hood, stood behind the protection of the guards and did not approach Colin rashly.
The reason for asking this is that the other party has demanded to capture him alive from the very beginning.
After thinking about it, Colin didn't hesitate and asked them to tie up all these people.
There are about twenty people in total.
"Now that we have captured the person, what should we do next?"
Colin came to the group of prisoners somewhat confused. The mission just mentioned capturing people, and there seemed to be no further explanation.
But just when he was puzzled, a transparent vortex appeared.
This time, it didn't suck everyone away. Instead, it felt like an invisible hand reached out from the vortex and reached out to the captives.
Then, Colin saw that they looked dazed, as if they had been hit by a hammer.
But soon, the invisible hand withdrew and the vortex disappeared.
"They didn't take the people away. What did they do? Did they search their memories?"
Colin looked at these people curiously, and only noticed that apart from their seemingly declining mental state, they did not show any other symptoms.
As for the other people present, they seemed to have not noticed Bonfire Company's actions at all.
Without thinking too much, Colin turned around and was about to speak to everyone, but suddenly he felt a signal source appear in his mind -
Second employee!
But after a little perception, Colin frowned and found that something seemed to be wrong.
The employee's position is still a long way from here.
Before I could think deeply, the person I hadn't been able to contact suddenly sent me a message:
"Captain, I am Don Ken, who was resurrected in a place that looks like an ancient town. I was just sent to a dungeon, and now I have been pulled out and put into a prison van. They seem to be escorting me somewhere..."
A town?
Colin was stunned. The signal was that he would be resurrected nearby, and the book of numerology also mentioned that he would be resurrected nearby, but the result was that the person was not here.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the nobles suspiciously. Could it be that their fate would deviate again because of their meddling here?
For example, the container that the opponent was resurrected with is not dead.
well……
The more Colin used the "Book of Numerology", the more he felt the shortcomings of this thing. Every time he knew the future, he would change the future.
No wonder both the forum and Miss Rabbit are saying that you should try not to rely on the "book of fortune-telling".
"Forget it. No matter what, I'm going to have to make one more trip for sure."
Colin sighed silently in his heart.
Before I could think about it, a female voice came: "Sir, thank you for your help. I would like to ask if you can be our guard to Black Stone City."
After a pause, she added, “Of course, when we get there, I will pay you ten spoons of first-grade purified gold as a corresponding reward.
"If you continue to be attacked, I will increase your reward."
As she spoke , she confidently waited for the other party to agree.
Gold is one of the most advanced and common ritual consumables in the mysterious world and is an absolute hard currency. Five spoons of it are enough to mobilize a second-level strongman.
But what she didn't know was that Ke Lin was confused when he heard her.
Ten spoons? What is this unit? And what is the first-grade purified gold? Is it 999 gold?
A lot of question marks popped up in Colin's mind, but at this moment, a light bulb went off in his head and he realized that the amount of "one spoonful" and "one ounce" was almost the same.
But I don’t quite understand what the specific standards for primary purification mean.
In other words, are you willing to spend a pound of gold to ask me to help? If it were in the past, I would definitely fight to the death, but unfortunately, I am no longer the person I used to be...
Colin shook his head and rejected the other party's request:
"I have other things to do, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for you guys, so I won't be able to go with you."
After saying that, he didn't plan to delay any longer and rushed towards where the signal came from.
However, after more than ten seconds, the figure disappeared from everyone's sight. However, looking at the direction he left, Helena and the old butler had an indescribable strange expression on their faces.
"Will, if I remember correctly, that direction is Black Rock City, right?"
Not on the same road? Helena thought of Colin's words, and her tone was a little unconfident.
The old butler Will did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a map and looked at it. Then he turned his head and looked around. Then he nodded and replied, "Indeed, it is correct."
Helena was silent for a moment, and then a voice came from under the hood: "Did our distress signal successfully reach you this time?"
"Successful." The old butler added: "It is certain that the thugs have special means to seal this place off just now.
"And that person just now..."
"He should be fine. In that case, let's follow him and see. I have a feeling that he is not in the same group as those people."
Helena waved her hand, and no one else said much, and the carriage convoy with only two or three broken horses left started to move again.
