Chapter 889 Pier

As the afterglow of the evening disappeared, the city of Navia, which was under curfew, quickly became quiet.

Only the city guards patrolling the streets were left.

Different from the past, today's city guards held weapons in their hands and opened their eyes wide to look for suspicious figures in the corners and shadows.

The assassination of the priest of the Temple of Thorns in the afternoon market has alarmed the top brass of Navia City, and those big shots issued orders that the murderer must be caught within a week.

But the city guard commander had no clue.

In the end, the commander could only put the high pressure from the top on his subordinates.

As for the final result?

Only God really knows that.

"Dellink is just a loser. If he didn't rely on his contribution to the 'Thunder Temple', how could he have become the leader of the city guards."

When mentioning the commander, Etelina was full of disdain.

However, when facing the city guards, Etelina was careful enough.

Taking Kieran and Mimosa along the path outside the 'Power Stable' store, bypassing four sentries and three patrol teams, they entered the dock area of ​​Navia City.

After passing through the vast warehouses, Qin Ran's eyes suddenly opened up. Six straight bridges led to the sea, and large sailing ships were rising and falling in the waves.

Wow!

The sound of waves reached my ears clearly, and the oncoming sea breeze had a special flavor.

"It's right in front!"

"I hid the 'Holy Grail of Thorns' in the seawater under a village bridge - only the smell of monsters in the sea can cover up the priests' perceptions!"

Etelina said softly.

Qin Ran nodded noncommittally.

Qin Ran, who has read the "Discussion on the Development of Temples in Navia City", is very clear that although Navia City has twenty-five temples, except for the highest temple which is the 'Thunder', there are no common temples such as the Sun. , the moon, and there are no powerful gods such as day, night, ocean, etc.

On the contrary, in the ocean here, there are all kinds of terrifying monsters.

Every year, a 'Sea Festival' is needed to appease those monsters and ensure smooth sailing.

Moreover, most of the indigenous people here believe that the sea water is magical.

Of course, it's the bad kind.

In addition, there are also customs such as not to go near the sea at night.

However, precisely because of this custom, the next actions of Qin Ran and his party became much easier.

Most of the city guards were patrolling near the warehouses, and none were near the coast.

The only sentry on the Liutiao Village Bridge is also in name only.

Mimosa, who was following Kieran, looked at the empty sentry with a torch, and couldn't help but look curious.

"No one has dared to serve there since the last Night Watchman disappeared there a year and a half ago."

"Including the night watchman, ten people have disappeared in less than half a year. Even the priests of the 'Temple of Sin' are powerless to do anything here."

Etelina explained in a low voice.

However, from beginning to end, his gaze was not directed at Mimosa, but at Kieran.

Obviously, this explanation was meant for Kieran.

As for the mimosa?

In the eyes of the proud temple deacon, Mimosa is a timid servant who is useless except for his cooking skills.

"My lord, you should not have brought your servant here."

"He's of no use at all."

Etelina said as she walked.

Such remarks made Mimosa tremble and subconsciously grabbed Kieran's cloak. He was very worried that Kieran would abandon him.

"It's enough to have cooking skills."

Kieran answered half-truthfully.

After discovering that Etelina was just a chess piece and had no idea why the person behind the scenes wanted to find a 'traveling merchant' to attack, it would be truly unwise for Qin Ran to dare to leave Mimosa alone in the hotel.

Etelina can be found inside the inn.

Why can't that guy?

In fact, the other party has already taken action.

Kieran's eyes swept over the surrounding shadows without leaving a trace, and then glanced at the Zhaiqiao in the distance, then moved his steps slightly, completely blocking the mimosa behind him.

Etelina didn't notice Kieran's movements.

But this doesn't mean that Etelina didn't notice anything unusual.

As she got closer to the Zhaiqiao, Etelina, who had experienced a baptism, stopped with alert eyes and signaled Qin to retreat.

But the moment Etelina stopped, seven or eight figures jumped out from the shadows behind them, each holding a sword and looking fierce.

In the direction of Zhaiqiao, two men wearing leather armor and dressed as mercenaries came out.

One was holding two swords in his hands, with a strong body and a sarcastic face. The long swords in his left and right hands brought out pieces of cold light as the opponent's wrists rotated.

A man with bare hands, but taller than ordinary people, with scars on his face, making people take a breath just looking at him.

"'Two Swords' Cilic!"

"'The Beast' Edson!"

When she could clearly see the appearance of the two men through the faint moonlight, Etelina exclaimed.

It’s over!

When seeing these two people appear, the temple deacon was filled with despair.

Both of them are well-known figures in Navia City.

Not only in the mercenary room, but also in the temple.

Because the two of them caused a sensation in Navia City after they intercepted and killed a priest of the 'Temple of Fortune' a year ago.

Everyone was shocked by the bold behavior of the two men.

In the subsequent pursuit, the two performed extraordinarily well, escaping three pursuits from the Temple of Sin and fleeing straight to the North.

Etelina didn't know why the two sneaked back to Navia City at this time.

Or maybe the other two didn't leave Navia City at all, but just hid somewhere.

But none of this matters anymore.

The most important thing is that she has to find a way.

Otherwise, you will really die here!

"well."

Just as Etelina was turning her brain to think about how to survive, a sigh suddenly came.

It's Kieran.

Kieran sighed and shook his head.

"More cautious than expected."

Qin Ran said this.

Then, he walked straight towards the "Double Sword" Cilic and the "Beast" Edson on the opposite side.

"Wait, they are..."

Etelina opened her mouth to stop.

However, the temple deacon’s words stopped abruptly.

Cilic, who claimed that his two swords could catch up with Feng'er's speed, had just wielded his two swords when his wrists holding the swords were crushed by Kieran.

Adelson, who ignored the blade slash and penetrated the arrow, had his neck broken by Kieran.

Everything happens in an instant.

The temple deacon didn't even see the whole process clearly.

What she saw was the result.

The deacon of the temple was stunned and his mind was frozen.

It wasn't until the sound of sharp metal cutting flesh came from behind that the temple deacon seemed to be awakened. When she subconsciously turned around, she saw a scene she would never forget.

A tough and long sword shuttled back and forth between the shadow and the human body.

At every turn, someone fell to the ground.

Every time you travel, the wail of the soul will sound.

The long and narrow sword was like the sickle of death, harvesting prey one after another.

The people surrounding them all fell to the ground and died within a few breaths.

The long and narrow sword caused a burst of joy, and the baby bird flew to Qin Ran's side like a bird returning to its nest.

In the night wind, under the moonlight.

The long sword and crow feather cloak danced in the wind.

The sword light flashed.

Hunting sound.
