Vol 2 Chapter 70: Someone behind

Chapter 070: Someone Behind
Julian waved his hand and said, "This is just a private conversation between you and me. There is no need to let anyone know. You know very well that Amon is from a foreign country, and how precious is the scroll left by Nero, and he may also know that Some things that shouldn't have been said. If there is a conflict with a neighboring country one day, don't you want to see those scrolls on the battlefield? ... In addition, instead of reminding me, the Dick Lord would care about the nephews of the Linton family, you It should be clearer what some of them are thinking. "
Rod Dick nodded: "Thank you for reminding me that I said these words today for your sake."
Julian smiled again: "Thank you Lord Lord for being so careful. Fortunately, I understand your noble qualities, everything is for my benefit. If I change to someone else, I may be confused."
Rod Dick stood up and said, "Excuse me to rest, I leave first, and wish us a happy cooperation in the cape city!"
Rod Dick has understood that Julian may be fighting Amon, which was not what he wanted to see. But Rod Dick can't stop what Julian hasn't done, and even if he did, he won't admit it. Julian only has a promise that no matter what happens, it will be carried out in secret and will not damage Rod Dick and the city-state. Honor.
What if Roderick was actually attacked by Julian in secret? As Julian asked, if there was anything between this great wizard and Amun, who would Rod Dick defend? This question need not be answered at all.
Rod Dick has tried to dissuade Julian, and if unsuccessful, he can only choose to compromise, pretending to be ignorant. I hope Amon has gone far and wished the child all good luck. Since he can survive the flood, he also wishes him a smooth escape this time.
When Rod Dick returned to the house, he saw the small coconut shell box sent by Aristotle on the table in the bedroom. He felt ashamed again, silently praying to the god, and then added A generous gift, and the box was sent to Aristotle back.
On the official road leading to the border east of the cape city-state, there was a carriage running all the way. The driver was a strong samurai. The curtains were laid, and it was not clear who was sitting inside. There were also three warriors riding on fast horses, looking like a rich businessman carrying something valuable with his bodyguard.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the car is very light and strong, and it is also a good horse to pick one hundred miles, and it runs very fast. The warriors were obviously rigorously trained, and they rode very well. They also took their horses to replace them, and they were in a hurry.
No one knew that Julian's confidant Vitro was sitting on the car, and the warrior who ran on the front was Julian's guard captain Haven. They were the team Julian sent to hunt down Amon in secret.
After leaving the city for more than half a day, Haiwen suddenly stopped at a fork. The carriage stopped, and Vitruux asked, "Havin, what's the matter, why not go ahead?"
Haiwen jumped off the horse and whispered: "The target's car has come here and may turn to the beach. I need to confirm it."
The racing samurai asked curiously, "Captain, how do you know that the target has turned?"
Haiwen: "It hasn't rained recently. The target car has just passed by for less than a day. Rutting marks can still be seen in many places. You can find it by searching carefully in front and beside."
The warrior asked again, "But there are many ruts."
The samurai in a hurry is Julian's nephew, and there are so many problems. Haiwen didn't want to explain. He pulled out his sword and cut a horse's wheel, leaving a shallow gap, and then said, "You drive the car forward a little distance, then get out of the car and see your ruts. Seal. "
The samurai named Shute really drove the car out of the road for a while, then got out of the car and looked back. Every time a rut mark left on the soil had a trace, some were vague and some were clear. Can be found. Every car's wheels will have more or less bump marks, so the rut marks are uniquely marked. Haiwen's eyesight is very good. He can quickly find Amon's car on and off when he rides on the fast-moving Mercedes-Benz. Leaving the mark.
Amon did not walk towards the border as expected, but turned from the fork to the north, which was the road to the port town. Vitruu and others chased after them. They set off for a long time after Amon. It was not long or short. The rut marks on the road were still visible, and there was no fork in the road. Just speed up the horse to catch up.
After another long day of running, the time was noon, and the intrepid samurai could still support it, but the horse was tired, and the horse changed and proceeded. Vitruu sat in the middle of the car and said, "The sun is about to set, and that person should stop and rest. We are fast and we should be able to catch up when he camps at night."
Haiwen shook his head and said, "His speed is not slow, and the cars and horses are very good. You can see that this person is flying all the way by looking at the turns. We chased this day and did not get much closer. The man who controlled the car The technology is superb! "This is an interesting misunderstanding. Amon did run very fast, but the driving skills are not superb. But he used the whip from Enril. He could easily control the horses just by flicking it in the air, which was much easier than the skilled driving.
Vitruu frowned. "Doesn't he need to rest?"
Haiwen replied: "He is driving a light cart. Both horses are good horses. They were sent by Tashun. Lington. He wants to rest, but don't forget that we also need to rest. After dark, there is a mountain ahead. It ’s impossible to run at night. We were already behind for more than half a day, and even if he camped at night, he would not be able to catch up when he set off again tomorrow. "
Vitruu: "It must be done as soon as possible. We will not be able to chase after he arrives at the port by boat! ... This man really has a problem, otherwise he won't escape so much, Lord Julian is too wise!"
They didn't stop until the sky was dark and they couldn't catch up with the horses. They changed their horses and set off just after dawn. Julian's guard usually protects the Master of the Wizard. It is purely a pomp. Besides Yaowu Yangwei, he has not suffered too much. Of course, this fast horse and journey is of course a chore. The magician Vitruro took the car. Fortunately, the other few were intermediate warriors, and they could hold it up.
Their worries did not happen, and after chasing for another day, they found that Amon's carriage turned again near the port, and went back westward. This is a road along the coastline that happens to bypass Cape Town to the neighboring city of Tanis.
Upon discovering this situation, Vitruu said to Havin very puzzled: "What's going on with Amon? Don't he want to go out, but go to Tanis?"
Haven groaned: "It really looks like he's going in the same direction, but the destination is not necessarily Tanis, he may want to pass Tanis to somewhere else."
Vitruu: "He flew all the way, clearly avoiding tracking, why not leave the territory of Eju?"
Haiwen shook his head: "He has a huge amount of money, and even the bodyguards feel unsafe. Of course, he has to leave quickly and not be detected by anyone. This person may not know that we are chasing him, but only out of caution. It should be as judged by Lord Julian that he has an undiscloseable secret. "
Amon really didn't know that someone was following him, but he also considered this possibility, so after leaving Cape Town, he went east, and quickly turned around, turned around in a nowhere, and took a big circle. Generally It's time to get rid of the followers, but unexpectedly they met the group led by Haiwen, who kept chasing them from behind.
Running for a few days in a row on horseback is definitely not an easy job. The samurai who followed are also tired. On the third day, they take turns to sit in the car to rest, and the speed gradually slows down. Amon's speed was also slow, because his horse was tired, and he just kept it about half a day ahead.
The road they took led to the city of Tanis, and Haiwen was not afraid of Amon running away. He had to rest after entering the city and just caught up for a day to catch up. There are more market towns along the way, and there are also a lot of traffic and pedestrians, and the rut marks in many places are no longer clear. Haiwen inquired whether a luxurious carriage passed by. A young man was driving.
Many people really have the impression that Amon's carriage was originally from Tashun Lington, but only removed the noble ornaments and family marks, and it was really conspicuous to walk on the road. According to the inquired information and looking at the intermittent rut marks, Amon's distance is getting closer.
Julian's nephew, the warrior Shute asked Haiwen again: "Captain, since you can find the rut marks, there is no fork in this road, why do you ask again and again?"
Haiwen had to explain patiently: "People can change cars and horses, and carriages can also change hands. We are chasing people not cars. So far, Amon has not changed cars, and his cars and horses are very good. It doesn't seem to know that we are following. "
Continued to track, Haven found something. Amon turned the carriage into the jungle camping halfway, but the next day he could not hear about the carriage, but the rut was still there!
The reason is simple. Amon knew that the carriage he was riding was very conspicuous. When he crossed the cape city from the north, he was also worried about being recognized by accident, so he made a small change. He has been taught by the old lunatic, and although he has not yet processed divine artifacts, it is easy to transform the carriage with artifacts.
The surface of the luxurious wood has traces of smoked black hair, which looks a bit old. It looks like an ordinary carriage. The carport has also been treated to remove extra decoration. The color is also different from the original. Amon was cautious enough to try not to make people aware of his whereabouts, but Haiwen and others still followed, getting closer and closer.
Haiwen chased the rut marks and inquired along the way, and finally knew that Amon's carriage had changed. Some people still have the impression of the driver who had inquired about Haiwen. It was a young man who hurried with a whip, and a tree branch was placed on the cymbal.
At noon on this day, counting the distance, you can enter Tanis City at dusk, and a clear rut mark was found on a road in the wild. Vitruux asked the curtain, "Havin, how far are we from the target?"
Haiwen replied: "It is getting closer and closer, only a few tens of miles away."
Vitruu waved his hand: "Shutt, stop the car and I'll follow him with divine magic.
Vitruu got out of the car and came to the rut mark to take out something. It was a stone inlaid with a base, just like a lamp, and the pattern of the divine magic was carved on the base. Vitruux held the thing in one hand, and the other whirled softly with a whimper. The stone emits a conspicuous light, like a lamp being ignited, emitting a circular aperture outward.
The image of that rut mark is reflected in the aperture, and it is constantly changing: the rut mark is intermittently extended to the front, like a carriage chasing after Amon. Soon after, a carriage appeared in the aperture, and the image turned at an angle to show the front of the carriage. Several trackers finally saw Amon. The foreigner was also wearing his old clothes when he first arrived at the cape city-state, carrying a long whip in his hand, and a branch of a tree on the cart.
The warriors praised in unison: "Master Vitro, clever, we finally found him! ... Look, there is a town in front of him, and he may stop and rest. We will hurry up and catch up soon!"
Vitruu is an excellent 6th-level magician, who can already perform high-level magic, but at the same time, such a clever detection of eye squinting and information tracking is also a bit powerless. He did it with the help of a magical artifact. To. The senior priests from the Temple of Isis had a rich family.
Hearing the praise of everyone, Vitruro put away the weapon with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't do anything in the town, let's get over it and wait for him to get out of the town and suddenly take him down in the wilderness . This man is really difficult to hang on. Fortunately, he met me and Captain Haiwen. He couldn't fly without wings! "
A town appeared in front of him. Amon slowly slowed down the carriage. He sat on the cart and picked up Schrodinger and touched it very gently. Then he took a bottle of wine from the leather pocket and handed it to the cat's mouth. Carefully ran so far along the way, no one should be able to detect his whereabouts, right? Schrödinger has been lazy and lethargic during these days. He occasionally wakes up, yawns, stretches himself, eats something, drinks and then sleeps. It seems that it is recovering, and Amon is relieved a lot.
Schrödinger did not habitually stick out his tongue to lick the wine. He suddenly opened his eyes, his fluff suddenly turned, and he arched with his back in Amun's arms, screamed, and extended a paw diagonally backward One finger. Since meeting again in the desert, Amon had heard Schröding howling for the first time, and the first time he had seen it make such a big move.
At this moment, the cat, which could not even detect the divine magic, seemed to be developing a certain breath. Amon's unique ability gained from Hades turned on her senses, and she could detect the emotions in Schrödinger's howl, listening to the sound like a warning—telling Amon that there was danger behind him.
Amon hurried to stop, jumped on the road and looked backwards, but found nothing, then looked up to the sky, not even a bird! Schrodinger still writhing in his arms, seemingly struggling to think down. Amon gently laid the cat on the ground. The fragile cat stumbled and ran all the way, and stroked the ground with its claws at intervals.
Amon carefully observed the past and found that Schrodinger drew a line every fixed distance on the rut. In the car he drove, the edge of the wheel on the right did not know when it had damaged a triangular notch, and the footprint left on the ground was very obvious. Amon suddenly realized something, picked up Schrodinger, jumped into the car, and left.
The so-called wise man has a lot to worry about. Amon has no experience in fleeing and does not realize that he is fleeing. He just doesn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he doesn't consider it thoroughly. With Schrodinger's prompt, he realized that the rut may also be a clue to be tracked.
Vitruu and others hurried to the town in front of the town, walked around the town and set up an ambush on both sides of the road ahead, and then Haiwen went into the town alone to check the news of Amon. When Haiwen walked into the town from another direction, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. On some sections where traces should be left, no trace of Amon's car was found, indicating that the person was still in the town.
But when Haiwen entered the town for a turn, he suddenly changed his face, because he saw Amon's carriage at a glance in the market. I walked around and asked about it, and I heard that a foreigner recently sold this car at a very cheap price. Together with the two horses that were tired, only one of the best horses in the market was replaced. Speeding out of town.
Vitruu's ambush swept empty, Amon was gone! With such a delay, Amon should have entered Tanis.
After hearing the news, Vitruu was furious and said: "This bastard, did you know that we are following and deliberately playing with the Lord? After he has been questioned clearly, he must be broken!"
Haiwen's face was also a bit ugly. After thinking about it, he said, "He doesn't necessarily know that we are tracking, but just wipe out all the traces of the journey before reaching the city. This person is really quite cautious. But it doesn't matter if he enters City-state, we can also search him out. "
Shute could not help but interjected: "Master Vitruus can still use the magic to track?"
Vitruus tried to stare at him and held back, explaining: "So far, there is no detection information to search, how do I track?"
Shute also said: "Since Captain Haven can chase ruts, he can also chase horseshoes or footprints?"
Haiwen said angrily: "It is a stone road into the city. There are so many people, how can you find his footprint?"
Vitruu sneered again: "It's dark, and he can't be tired for so many days in a row. He must live in the city tonight. I have a good personal relationship with the host of the city of Tanis. During a citywide search, I don't believe he can hide! "
Havin reminded: "You can't do anything in the city, this time it's a secret operation, stare at him first."
Vitruu nodded: "After a long round, I actually arrived in Tanis. If you come directly from the official way, it is very close! It is time to send someone to send a letter to Obama. I heard that the Patriarch of the Linton family was very kind to Amon Interested, you will not miss the opportunity if you have news of his whereabouts. "
