Chapter 274 Damn, This Is Such an Evil Posture...
The gates of cities in other worlds must be closed every night. This has little to do with whether they will be attacked or not. It is mainly due to tax issues. Poll tax, chamber of commerce fleet tax, etc. are important economic sources for the city.
In the evening, just as the gates of Beacon City were about to close, Thumper and Oliver arrived. Needless to say, being able to reach such a long distance in half a day was naturally a combination of space teleportation and horse snatching.
The gate of Beacon City is certainly not an obstacle to them, but now that the gate is open, no one will use space magic to enter. So after throwing out a dozen copper coins, the two followed the last group of people into the city.
"This city... the builder must be mentally ill." Oliver looked back at the tall and thick city walls and shook his head.
This evaluation is very accurate. If Tang En were here, he would definitely agree with his judgment with both hands.
Samp on the side had no interest in chatting, but after hearing the words, he still replied briefly: "I have read in some ancient book before that this city seems to have been attacked by the Northern Wilderness tribe."
"How could the barbarians attack here?" Oliver showed a surprised expression when he heard this, and then looked at Samp frowning and observing the surroundings, and he didn't ask questions in a sensible manner.
Both have confirmed Eunice's death. The shop hadn't had time to deal with the slightly corroded floor. After the two of them discovered it, they naturally knew that it was the work of the dark mist.
Bounty hunters are a profession that lives under the scythe of death, and death is really commonplace. Oliver basically recovered after a day of adjustments. In such a state, it doesn't mean that he doesn't value Eunice as a teammate, but the sad nerves have long been numb. In other words, he has seen it too much and is no longer surprised. Now he has no other thoughts except killing the opponent for revenge.
As for Samp, on the surface he seems calmer than Oliver. Apart from the sadness and resentment when we first knew him, he basically showed no other expressions. Perhaps only a familiar person like Oliver could be vaguely aware of the monstrous murderous intention beneath the calmness.
"You should be able to sense it, right?" Oliver licked his lips, turned around and asked.
"It can be done an hour ago, but there's no rush..." Samp frowned and looked into the distance of the city streets. "This city is too big. It's not too late to wait until the center of the city to sense it, so as not to let him sneak out of the city."
Oliver suddenly nodded. The location sensed was not precise, but only a rough area. If used in the center of the city, if the opponent is in the city, Samp can use short-distance teleportation to block the city entrance first. After all, it's late at night now. If the other party escapes outside the city and burrows into a mountain ravine, it will be impossible to find him.
Of course, there is a reason for this. Eunice died in a duel, so they had to be wary of each other's speed. It can be said that, except for Samp, the possibility of Oliver catching up is infinitely close to zero. If you can't block it immediately, you can only watch the other party escape.
After a while, the two came to the center of the city. There is no doubt that this is also a square and there is a statue of a majestic general. What he said before contacting Samp was probably the general who fought here against the Northern Wilderness barbarians.
Without hesitation, Samp found an open space, formed seals with his hands, and turned out the shadows of his fingers. Then a flash of white light appeared out of thin air, flowing around his palms like water... Oliver stood aside without any preparation. He made a movement, but the muscles all over his body were already tense under the animal skin, and he rushed out instantly after Thumper pointed out the direction. Regardless of whether you can catch up or not, you still have to give it a try. Besides, the opponent's strength is not low. Even after being entangled by Samp, he still needs his help to solve it quickly.
After a while, huff... Samp put down his palm, exhaled a long breath, then looked north and shook off the sweat on the tip of his nose.
"How is it?" Oliver asked eagerly.
Shaking his head, Samp said calmly: "One hundred kilometers away to the north."
"Your mother!" Snap! Oliver slapped his palms with an ugly expression on his face, "Do you think he knows the function of the Eye of Space?"
Magic is mysterious to outsiders, especially space magic, so some unpopular magic like the Eye of Space is not necessarily known to everyone.
Samp did not answer the question, but frowned: "Do you know the surrounding terrain of this city?"
"This is simple!" Oliver looked around, strode out, and came back with two businessmen in a moment.
It's not that he used force. Although Oliver was big enough, he wasn't someone who only knew how to use fists. At this time, it is obvious that gold coins will be more effective.
Traveling merchants travel here and there, so they are naturally familiar with the terrain. Samp's inquiry ended quickly, and it didn't even take a minute to add up. As for the price, it was two gold coins... "The four neighboring cities are all more than a hundred kilometers away... Haha, it's interesting!" Without any emotion** Cai laughed twice, and Samp turned to Oliver and said, "It seems that he not only knows the function of the Space Pupil, but is also very familiar with it."
After a pause, he continued, "And if you guessed it right, he should be familiar with us. Great Mage, the sensing interval of the Eye of Space is indeed half a day. Are you planning to play hide-and-seek with us? Haha, that's really interesting. …”
"Familiar with us?" Oliver frowned, "When have we ever encountered such a person?"
"When we were in Shanxi City before, we should have rushed into the prison and arrested the director of the security department and asked him clearly...forget it, this is not important." Shaking his head slightly, Samp continued, "The opponent's strength is almost the same as ours. , as long as you can meet them face to face, it’s not difficult to kill them.”
Oliver nodded when he heard this, and then his heart moved: "Well, that's right! It's more than a hundred kilometers away, isn't it still too late for us to teleport there now?"
Don't forget, when Samp first sensed that something had happened to Eunice, he took Oliver and teleported wildly to hundreds of kilometers away.
"Not necessarily, and it doesn't make much sense." Samp rejected the proposal. "It will take about ten minutes to teleport. With this time, the other party will have already left the city. By then, you will know where he came from. Did you leave in the right direction?"
Short-distance teleportation is known as instantaneous movement. But there is still some preparation time beforehand. The opponent's speed is not low, and he is familiar with the effect of the Space Pupil. There is no problem in taking the opportunity to leave.
"Fuck, what should we do?" Oliver suddenly became anxious and spread his hands and asked, "Are we just going to follow him and never catch up?"
"Of course not." Samp shook his head and raised his lips slightly, "Haha, since he wants to play, we will go with him a few times first, and we will naturally bump into him then!"
"Okay, you come up with the idea." Oliver is not a person who likes to use his brain. After hearing that Samp had an idea, he immediately let go of his brain, "Then what do we do now?"
"Find a place to rest." Samp simply said, turned and walked away, "Haha, that person must have set off from the city and traveled all night... We have been running these days, and it will be his turn next ”
"Oh, that sounds like a good idea."
.........Is Tang En running away now? Not yet, but as Samp expected, he would have to leave Ghor City later, and this time he could not take a carriage and had to change horses to catch up with the time.
Feeling the slight heat on his left shoulder, Tang En frowned slightly, then stood under the sign at the intersection and tried to distinguish the street name.
"Well, this is right." After muttering, Tang En turned into the street on the right and walked straight inside. At this time, his image had changed back to the middle-aged man with an indifferent expression when he fought with Eunice.
The street was not long, and Tang En quickly reached the end, and what immediately appeared in front of him was a group of buildings surrounded by iron fences. Several groups of guards appeared around from time to time, patrolling and passing by.
At the front, there is a very eye-catching signboard, "Guercheng Cultural and Propaganda Hall."
This department exists in every city. The name may not be well known, but the results of the work done here are familiar to the citizens of the city, which is the compilation and distribution of newspapers. It can be said that among the various administrative departments in the city, this is one of the very few departments that can make money on its own.
And after all, it is an official department, so there are naturally guards here. However, those groups of patrolling soldiers were really not taken seriously by Tang En.
For a moment, after figuring out the pattern, Tang En dodged and jumped directly over the iron fence, and then quickly leaned behind a large ornamental bonsai before the second patrol arrived.
Easily, Tang En entered the interior of the propaganda hall. There are not many buildings here. In addition to the majestic three-story white building in the front, there are also several small attics and bungalows scattered in the back.
There was noise from the buildings behind, as if there were some machines operating inside. But Tang En didn't come here to see the printing technology of another world, or the newspaper production process, etc.
After looking at the three-story white building, Tang En detoured directly to the side, and then followed the eaves, windows, balconies... like a gecko, he quickly jumped to the third floor.
Leaders, no matter what time, space or world they are from, they all like to live in high places. Because when you look down at the window by the window, you will have a sense of superiority - everyone in the world is just an ant... Tang En was lucky, and soon he found a man working hard outside the balcony of an office. "Big shot.
It's really "hard work", my face is red and I'm sweating profusely! The "ground" beneath him was also giving me face, and he kept shouting softly, looking like he was out of breath. Oh, this evil office temptation...pop! After opening the sealed window, Tang En walked in from the balcony calmly, "Sorry to disturb you at this time! Well, in order to make up for my mistake, I will put this advertisement in your newspaper!"
After finishing speaking, two pieces of blank paper with sketches and portraits floated gently on the large desk. Well, now they are on the jade back of the "ground"... Oh, this is such an evil posture...
