For Mary, this is undoubtedly good news.
When she first entered the Twilight Castle, even the girl had no bottom of her heart, but when leaving the girl, she felt very comfortable, relaxed, and happy. This is no wonder. Although Youlian did not fully agree with her request, it seemed normal to the girl. After all, he was not a close person to him, and it was beyond expectation to be able to agree to such a request. Some conditions are also normal, and although the conditions are a bit harsh this time, in Mary's view, if the freedom of the townspeople can be exchanged, then it is enough to be a very cost-effective transaction.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Mary, and that was what Yulian had said before. According to his statement, the Blue Feather Mercenary Corps has taken over this task, but in Mary’s memory, it seems that the mercenary regiment has not taken any major moves since this time. Although she said she was only an outsider, she couldn't get this important task to her. But the transfer of personnel is always noticeable. But after so many days, there was no personnel transfer on his own side, and even the important figures in those regiments were sitting on the Diaoyutai, which made Mary a little confused.
In her view, his mercenary group is now rooted in the Twilight Forest, and Lord Yulian is the lord of the Twilight Forest. The two layers are related. Since he has commissioned, the mercenary group should also take action. It is. But what puzzled Mary was that the mercenary regiment's actions were completely normal in the past few days, without any slight exception, as if there had never been a mission from Yulian.
This made the girl doubtful, but she was not thinking too much. Because for her, this is also her task.
Generally speaking, mercenaries will take some tasks to do by themselves, and when there is no task, they will follow the team's arrangement. This is the case with peripherals like Mary and Crawke, who usually stay quietly in the mercenary group on weekdays, and then take some ordinary tasks to complete by themselves. When there are more tasks completed, they will receive the above attention, and then You can go to participate in those important missions in the group. At this time, they don't accept the general small tasks, but the task of this person and the team task, whichever is less important, is mainly at the mercy of the mercenary. Although the team is very important, the mercenary is also honest. Unless it is an important task that must be done by yourself, otherwise the individual is the priority.
At the beginning, Mary was still a bit worried about what to do if she and the team robbed the task, but after a few days of observation, it seemed that the mercenary group did not have any intention to investigate this matter, so Mary let go of her heart. The burden, began to investigate calmly.
However, on the way to the investigation, there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart.
It is not difficult to investigate who is instigating the task of refugees, because those refugees were only rushed back to the original camp outside, were closely monitored, and did not get into the prison (the prison can’t shut so much people). And Mary is a mercenary. Although she can't talk about the important task of saving the world, but there is no problem in changing into a dress and sneaking into it. However, during the investigation, Mary found something strange.
According to the information provided by these refugees, there were indeed some people who appeared in their ranks before the trouble. At that time, everyone did not think much, thinking that the other party was also an ordinary refugee like himself, but after the incident, these people Disappeared. Even so, these refugees did not feel that the other party was wrong. Instead, they believed that the nobles used vile means to secretly arrest these people. The reason is very simple, because they were the most fierce and the most talked about before. people. But when the refugees returned to the camp and were surrounded by the noble army, they disappeared. Therefore, some refugees believe that these people have actually been secretly captured and killed by those nobles, and they even began to wonder if there is a traitor from the Neitong nobles around them. Otherwise, if there are more than a dozen people, no one is spared. Is not normal.
Regarding the analysis of the conspiracy theories by the refugees, Mary didn't care, but when she asked the refugees about the portraits of those people, she finally started to shake up.
Because according to the descriptions of these refugees, there are several people whose characteristics are very similar to the members of the Blue Feather Mercenary Corps.
Of course, this may be just a coincidence, but considering that these people have not appeared in the mercenary group for a long time, such a coincidence is too disturbing.
Could it be said that the Blue Feather Mercenary Corps incited these refugees?
At this moment, Mary finally couldn't sit still.
"call………"
Back in the room, the girl was lying on the bed, staring helplessly at the snow scene outside the window. She had just tapped on the side from other companions. The few people had not returned until now. As for the tasks they performed, the other people did not know what to do. This is obviously very strange, because if it is an ordinary task, it will at least say hello to the other people in the team before going out. After all, the mercenary is taking money Selling his life, in case of any accident, when the day comes when the person does not come back, at least there will be companions to help check the corpse. But such a silent disappearance is naturally because of receiving a very important task and not being able to walk through the wind.
Inciting refugees to siege the Twilight Forest is indeed a very important task.
But what puzzled Mary was whether it would be good for the mercenary regiment to do this kind of thing? Indeed, the Lord Lord looks kind, and there is nothing particularly terrible. But the opponent is the ultimate knight, and although the lord looks very kind, in the previous communication, he also learned that he has his own bottom line. In the face of such characters and forces, how does the blue feather mercenary regiment Would do such a thing?
What is the leader thinking?
"Boom boom."
"Please come in."
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Mary sat up hurriedly, then answered, and with her response, the door opened, and then Crouch's figure appeared at the door.
"Mary, you are finally back."
"Hey? What happened?"
Seeing Crowk's anxiety, Mary was also a little surprised. Is there something wrong?
"No, no, there is no problem. It's just that you haven't been here these days. I'm a little worried."
"Thank you, Crocker."
Upon hearing the other party's answer, Mary showed a smile. She was too busy these days, and she rarely had time to relax. Seeing the girl's smiley face, Crouch looked reddish and then lowered his head.
"That... Mary?"
"Ok?"
"If you have time, would you like to go out and relax? Relax? I know there is a pub nearby, and the blue plum dessert there is still good...if you have time..."
"Of course no problem."
There are a lot of troubles at the moment. Upon hearing Crocker's invitation, Mary also shined, and bored troubles in the house are not always the solution to the problem. It is better to go out and relax. Thinking of this, she nodded, then stood up and smiled and reached out to Crocker.
"So, let's go."
"Ok!"
Seeing the girl's attitude, Crook nodded in excitement, then took Mary's hand and left the mercenary regiment.
Obviously, in this respect, Crocker has done a lot of work. Although the pub he recommended has been open in the City of Heroes for a long time, it is not known because of its remote location. But although the business here is not very good, the decoration is very warm. At the moment, the two of them were sitting by the window, looking at the beautiful snow scene outside, enjoying the hot desserts, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
"Huh... I really thank you, Crocker."
A cup of hot tea will not only warm up the body that is stiff because of the cold, but also make a lot of the restless heart settle down a lot. Putting down the teacup in her hand, Mary took a long breath. Looking at the teenager in front of her, she suddenly felt that the other party was actually quite cute.
"No, you're welcome."
However, compared with Mary who is enjoying relaxation, Crocker's face is a little nervous. He flushed his head and bowed his head, but just mechanically stuffed his mouth with dessert, looking at him, I am afraid that even dessert It tasted nothing. Hearing Mary's answer, the teenager raised his head, and smiled nervously.
"You, you have been tired these days, haven't you? So I thought... I want you to take a good rest, Mary, but you are a girl. The life of a mercenary is so hard. You have to learn to adjust. "
"This is what Brother Ska taught you."
"........."
Faced with Mary's inquiry, Crocker smiled helplessly as a default.
And at the moment, Mary smiled and sighed again. If Brother Scar was so good here at this time, he has been taking care of himself and Crawke since he was a child, even if there are some unspeakable words in front of him It can also be said. But it is a pity that after the previous mission with Crocker, Brother Ska returned to the headquarters of the Blue Feather Mercenary Corps, but now he is unable to find someone, but this time it is It's so urgent again...
I don’t want to think about it anymore, at least not now.
Mary shook her head again, apparently intending to temporarily put the matter behind her head, but at this moment, Crook spoke.
"Oh, Mary, I have good news for you."
"Oh? What good news?"
Hearing this, Mary Qiang rallied and asked. Facing her inquiry, the teenager finally lifted his chest a little confidently for the first time.
"The people from Kingfisher Town you mentioned earlier, I haven't been idle these days, I have helped to inquire, but in the end you guessed it? They have been released by the nobles, but it seems that those people Before they could leave the town, the nobles sent private soldiers to surround them. Well, let’s just say, they must know that they caught the wrong person, but they couldn’t let themselves down as nobles, so they deliberately did it. This one comes out."
".........This is it."
Hearing this news, Mary did not feel excited and excited. After all, she already knew the news, but it was obvious that Crook did not know this.
"So I said it, the nobles have nothing good, die to face, a bad stomach, Mary, you didn’t go to the guy, I said it long ago, there is a way without him. Now you see, even if you don’t need to Looking for that kind of person, have these nobles released them?"
"………Yes………"
Hearing this, Mary’s brows could not help but wrinkle. In any case, for now, Yulian is also his benefactor, and now, Crook not only does not realize this, but also in turn resented resentment and scolding here. If it wasn’t for the sake of secrecy that she took over the task of Lord Lord, Mary really wanted to talk about it.
But she is also very clear that even if she speaks out, Crocker will not listen.
Why is he so stubborn?
Thinking of this, Mary suddenly felt that her previous good mood was gone, especially when she looked at the Crook who was still belittle those nobles, she didn't even know what to say. But when Mary noticed it, she found that she had stood up.
"Mary?"
Seeing the girl's movements, Crook was also shocked.
"what happened to you?"
"Sorry, Crocker, I'm a little uncomfortable and want to go back to rest."
After saying this, Mary turned around and left the tavern, leaving Crook alone, staring blankly at her back.
For Crawke, he did not expect that things would go in this direction at all. When he saw that Mary was a little tired before, he had already made plans, hoping to give her a good rest, and then found the shop in front of him with great pains, and also heard about Mary's preferences early, and let the store do this dessert. At the beginning, the progress was very smooth, but he did not expect that the girl didn't know what happened on the way, and the girl suddenly left.
Is it really too tired? Still unwell?
Crawke didn't think he was wrong at all, because he felt that what he said was correct, and that he always said that these words, Mary has never been angry for this, and it must be the same this time, so think of it, I'm afraid the girl is really sick.
However, this is fine.
Thinking of this, Crook also breathed out. He always liked Mary and hoped to confess to her, but he never dared to speak out, and now this is a good opportunity. If Mary is sick, then let herself Let's take care of her, so that Mary must know her heart.
Thinking of this, the uneasy mood in the day was relaxed at the moment, and after asking Mary that she had not used the dinner, Crocker immediately went to prepare a dinner for her, and then came to Mary with nervousness In front of the door, he took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.
"Mary, are you there?"
"........."
No one answered.
"Mary?"
Crocker was a little puzzled. According to the truth, Mary is not in good health and should just rest in the room. Isn't she not in the room at the moment? Or, what happened?
Thinking of this, Crook no longer hesitated, he immediately opened the door and approached the room.
"Mary?"
Empty.
There was no sign of the girl in the room, and even her weapons were not seen, which shows that the girl did go out.
"How is this going?"
Crocker stared blankly, not knowing what happened. If it is on weekdays, I am afraid he can still think that Mary is going to complete the task, but now it is absolutely impossible, Mary is sick, how can it be possible to complete the task? So, where did she go?
"What's wrong? Crook?"
At this moment, another mercenary walked by, looking at the teenager's dumb face, and asked with a funny smile.
"what."
When he heard the other party's inquiry, Crawk reacted.
"Oh, I'm looking for Mary. Do you know where she went?"
"Mary?"
Hearing the inquiry, the mercenary was a little puzzled and then laughed.
"Yes, I just saw her out just now. I'm afraid it's just a blink of an eye. Go to the door and you might see her."
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, Crawke was secretly happy. After a thank you, he quickly rushed out. While rushing at him, he secretly complained. This Mary is obviously uncomfortable. Why do you want to go out?
Found!
Sure enough, just after stepping out of the mercenary's gate, Crook saw Mary's figure turning around the corner and disappearing into the dark street, which made him relax and then hurried forward again.
Crocker was originally planning to find Mary and bring her back, but he soon discovered that things didn't seem right.
At this moment, Mary doesn't look like she is on weekdays, nor does she seem to go out to buy things. On the contrary, she always chooses some paths and looks around from time to time, seeming to be afraid of being noticed. This caused a little doubt in the deep heart of the teenager. What is she going to do?
With this question in mind, Crook did not stop Mary. Instead, he hung far behind the other party and followed the girl. Although Mary's skill in this respect is also brilliant, after all, the two people have been together for a long time, and they are also familiar with each other, so it is not difficult for Crook to avoid Mary's observation. Soon, he followed Mary up the hillside, and then, looking at the black building in the distance, Crook couldn't help but stop.
He knew exactly where it was because he never liked it.
There is the location of Twilight Castle, and there is nothing but the castle above this mountain road.
So, what did Mary do there?
Could it be that?
Thinking of this, Crook couldn't help but stunned, he immediately remembered Mary's words before.
Is she really looking for the evil, mean and shameless aristocrat?
Thinking of this, Crook finally couldn't help it anymore and followed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
