Chapter 60 What should come will always come

The thick and tough membranous wings brushed against the treetops with sparse leaves, the wind blew, and another batch of late autumn yellow leaves fell one after another.The long tail shining in the sun whipped the treetops, and the huge claws stepped on the bushes under the feet. Without the interference of wind and snow, four huge winged lizards with a length of 30 feet landed safely in this jungle. middle.

A dozen men jumped off the Lizard, eight Lizard riders went to check the status of the flying beast, and the rest of them checked the cages suspended under the Lizard's belly with leather ropes to confirm the condition of the flying beast. After most people were still alive, they reported it to the 3 people standing aside.

"These 'ransoms' are not so easy to die." said a man wrapped in thick fur, only showing a beautiful face like a girl.Although his appearance is a bit feminine, his voice is quite normal—or, this is probably the only normal part of him, "The weather here is really good, and Hermes is almost freezing to death."

"Keep your tongue in Germany, Ulitan. Greer is still in their hands." The man beside him said flatly.This person is about 30 years old, with blond hair that is so light that it is close to white. There is a scar from the side of the cheek to the neck below the face that cannot be concealed by the years of weather. His eyes are light gray, and he wears a long sword on his waist.

"Poor Greer, caught by a group of savages, I don't know how he will be abused." The tall and strong man standing on the far left stretched his waist, "Dead monster, how far is he from us now?" Far?"

"Don't worry, Ackwhite, Greer is a man who can't be beaten to death, and he will be fine." The man who was called a dead ladyboy seemed not to care about the title at all, and he took out a disc from his waist pocket , put it flat on your hand, there are sixteen engraved lines scattered in a star shape on the gold plate, representing sixteen directions, and what can be used to indicate the directions are the black stone beads that slide in the hollowed-out silver tube inlaid on the plate .The rolling stone beads stopped in one direction and slowly began to rotate.Uritan stared at the spinning stone bead for a while and calculated before saying, "He's still four miles away."

"Sili." The gray-eyed man repeated in a low voice.

"...I really want to kill it directly," Akewhite said, "It's so close."

"They captured not only Greer, but also a high-level mage." The gray-eyed man said coldly, "Even if they were captured under exhaustion, the opponent can control both the paladin and the archmage, Strength should never be underestimated.”

"Because they are the 'survivors' who defected." Yulitan put away the compass, and retracted his face into the fur collar, "They are the blood of the demons, even if they only have the advantage of strength, they are the regular army, we must destroy them There is also a price to pay.”

"Forget about Greer, what happened to that mage?" The tall and strong man asked.

"Jacques Amos, who put on a white robe in the Karamidi Mages Association 10 years ago, mistakenly regarded the Storm Lord who came from afar as a bereaved family, which almost caused the empire's diplomatic misconduct, so he was expelled from the Imperial Capital. Although he is a rumored lost dog, he has been promoted to Archmage three years ago, and he has always behaved very well when he was a guest at Iron-Blooded Hermes' home," the gray-eyed man said slowly, "I It's hard to imagine him being held in captivity in a conscious state."

"Maybe he has already been bribed?" Yulitan turned his head and guessed.

"What could bribe an archmage to break his promise?" the gray-eyed man asked.

"If there is something that can buy the archmage, they still need to escape to the territory of the orcs?" Akwhite snorted, "Either he has become a useless person."

"But the tracking stone on him can still be used." Ulitan said, "If the mage loses mana, the tracking stone will not be able to respond to the compass."

"Then we're going to wait here?"

"Send an envoy to contact them first," the gray-eyed man said calmly, "and then exchange hostages at the middle point."

"They should already know Greer's identity, what if they suddenly change their minds?" Yulitan asked, "They only asked for the return of the slaves taken away by Hermes, without mentioning money or amnesty at all. What about the conditions. Do they really don’t want it or can’t think of it, or is there a trap?”

"Wouldn't it be better if they didn't mention it?"

Yuritan answered the companion who asked this stupid question with contemptuous eyes, Akewhite twitched his mouth, "What kind of eyes are you—!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around when he realized something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to copy in the air, An arrow that came from nowhere and was dyed black was firmly held in his hand.

"...Arrow?" Ulitan said in surprise, "Why didn't I feel anyone nearby?"

"Because the other party is far away from you." The gray-eyed man said, taking the arrow tied with animal skin strips from Ackwhite, "and this strong archer is very good at hiding his breath." He removed the animal skin , identifying the handwriting that was infiltrated with black ink into the scratches, "It's really a beautiful font. The people who wrote these messages are probably well-educated. Only the arrows are ordinary, without any craftsman marks."

"Baron Bosch, how far is that archer from us?"

"At least a mile," replied the gray-eyed man.

"...That's strong enough." Yulitan frowned slightly, "However, why do I feel that the aura above is a bit familiar...?"

"Things will always change. Are there such powerful archers among those barbarians?" Akewhite asked suspiciously, "It should be those survivors, but when they were in Hermes, they were not even allowed to write Do you use it?"

"Who it is, Greer will know better than us." Baron Bosch said, "Let's rest where we are, we just need to wait for tomorrow."

As Baron Bosch said, they didn't have to wait too long, the next day came soon.Because winged lizards can't take off on flat ground, the riders can only lead these flying beasts that look cumbersome and dull on the ground, and head to the location specified in the message delivered by arrows at a very slow speed.

"I remember when I saw these big guys just now, the 'ransoms' were terribly scared." Ulitan, who was sitting on the back of the winged lizard, said lazily. Even though he was far away from the snowstorm of Hermes, he was still very afraid Handi wrapped his whole body in fur. "Obviously they are such cute creatures, why don't most people understand them?"

Except for the riders of the Winged Lizards, no one agrees with his taste. However, given the status of these Winged Lizards riders, they are not allowed to easily talk to people of Yulitan's status. The only one who responds to him is Ake White, who rides with him, "Seeing these scales all over the body, as long as the old guy of Hermes hasn't become demented, he can guess where we came from, right?"

"If it wasn't like this, how could we have traded with him so smoothly?" Yulitan said, "and the price is so much cheaper for us."

"Where is the real identity of the Viscount?"

"We are just buying slaves from Hermes as a businessman. What does it have to do with his missing son?" Yuritan said slowly, "Besides the Knights of Tita, there are also other countries on the mainland that have winged lizard flying teams." Well."

Ackwhite, who still couldn't adapt to a man speaking in this tone, frowned and shook his body.Winged lizard is the only flying beast that can be manipulated by humans so far. Because of its harsh breeding conditions and difficulty in breeding, there are only a few countries that own this kind of strange beast. Only one country can own the entire winged lizard army, and among them The dragoons belonging to the Tita Knights of the Central Empire are most famous.Even though these four winged lizards are still a bit far from regular dragoon riders in terms of physique, and the riders are also newcomers who are not skilled enough, as long as they pay attention to the fact that they are currently stationed in the Baranque Territory—at the same time as the Blackstone Kingdom and the Lazuli Kingdom It is impossible for the Tita Knights in the bordering imperial enclave not to know that a colorless dragon riding symbol will be engraved on the chest of their pterosaurs.

The old earl of Hermes did not become demented, so he readily agreed to the deal, acting with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, as if he wanted to expel them from his territory as soon as possible in a tactful way.

"Three identities... Greer is not afraid of fine points."

Yulitan laughed, "Otherwise, why does His Highness praise him so much?"

Baron Bosch, who was sitting by the side, had good hearing. He glanced at the two people who were chatting. After receiving the frozen gaze, the two guys who lacked some sense of tension restrained a little, because they didn't know what they were talking about. Sometimes they would talk about sensitive topics again, so they simply played a game of daggers, and finally passed this boring journey.

The location designated by the other party was a circular sunken valley. It might have been a small lake a long time ago, but for some reason it had dried up so that it could barely see the old scene.The winged lizard stopped, and the rider and accompanying attendants opened the cage and drove out the people stuffed inside one by one, allowing these frail black-haired survivors to stand in the center of the depression.

Only the wind blew across this land, and the survivors trembled in the wind, and the strong men around them stood in the knee-high weeds, looking around constantly.

Baron Bosch waited quietly, Akwhite beat his feet impatiently, Yuritan curled up into a ball and complained sullenly in the fur, "How long are they going to keep us waiting? "

He didn't wait long, Akewhite looked at the opposite side and said, "Here we come."

Yulitan stuck out half of his head from his collar, looking at the gradually increasing figures on the opposite high hill.The clothes of the white-robed mage are the most recognizable. As for a certain blond viscount—Arkwhite was very disappointed with his state, "It doesn't look like it has changed."

"How did he not even grow his beard?" Ulitan muttered enviously, and Akwhite twitched his lips.

The black-haired survivors gradually walked down the high hill, and Baron Bosch stepped forward after they almost entered the depression.The team escorting the prisoners stopped, and the leading middle-aged man looked at him sharply.

"I am Baron Bosch. This time, I came to redeem my three companions with one-third of the price stated in the contract."

"I am the leader of the bereaved clan, Li Hong. I am here to exchange prisoners with you this time." The middle-aged man with sharp eyes responded, "Before the exchange, I need to confirm whether my clan is intact."

"You can send someone to check."

Ulitan, who was standing at the back, glanced casually across the line of bereaved families on the opposite side. After going back and forth a few times, his eyes froze on a certain figure, and then he slowly opened his eyes wide, "...that, That person—couldn’t be him?!”
