Chapter 139: The Fourth Knight Commander in Excellent Mental State You Should Kill Me...
Bai Qiu really felt that he was sick.
Instead of doing business in the middle of the day, he was counting money at the entrance of the passage, and was being watched by a large group of people like a rare animal. It really offended me.
But, here lies the problem.
The problem is here!
He couldn't take his eyes away from the boxes filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewels... Oh, there were blood crystals in there, what? God? What the hell? Putting blood crystals in the treasure chests?
In short, whether subjectively or objectively, he can't move his butt off the chair for the time being.
First? Let him finish counting the jewels.
"Captain, you can't count anymore. We have already wasted eight hours at the entrance of the passage. If we continue like this, the king will be angry." The adjutant tried to persuade him earnestly.
On the table in front of Bai Qiu was a record book, recording the types and quantities of jewels. On the left and right were a box filled with jewels, and on the other was an empty box with just a few gems scattered around.
This was the third treasure chest that Yin Deng asked him to count.
He held the gem in one hand and took notes with a pen in the other, and said nonchalantly: "Wang is angry? He is angry. When will he not be angry?"
The adjutant continued to persuade him: "But this time is very different. Captain, didn't you notice that the other three captains have reminded you not to be distracted by other things and to complete the mission as soon as possible and return?"
Bai Qiu was still concentrating on the jewelry in his hand. The purple gemstone reflected an exceptionally bright light under the weak light, as if it could devour his consciousness, so that even his words seemed particularly lazy. "Look at what you're saying. It would be a miracle if the three masters didn't come to warn me not to make mistakes. If you're bored, why don't you find an abacus to help me estimate the value of these boxes?"
The adjutant was furious, and the other subordinates came over and tried to persuade him earnestly: "Captain, you have already counted two boxes of gems. Does your waist feel sore? Are you tired? How about we walk around and stretch our bodies? For example, go to the prison first?"
Bai Qiu: "I'm not tired, don't even think about asking me to move away from here."
"Captain, the people from the Hidden Light Society definitely have bad intentions. They can't really give you so much treasure. Let's just grab this part and arrest them and run away!"
Bai Qiu: "No, we can't be right? Our good friend who gave us money is so rude."
"Captain! Look at that group of hidden lanterns. Someone is secretly taking pictures of you. They are obviously treating you like a monkey? They are playing tricks on you!"
Bai Qiu: "Just kidding? Go ahead, I deserve all these gems."
Subordinates: "But the king will really punish you!"
Bai Qiu rolled his eyes in dislike of the noise, scratched his ears and said, "If he doesn't want me to die someday, then die. Remember to go to the main store of the old coffin chain store in the ruined city and pick up the custom-made coffin for me. I remember it was ordered three or four years ago, so it should be ready now..."
The subordinates were about to faint.
Nearly a hundred cloaked members of the Hidden Lantern Society were standing on the other side of the bridge-like platform. The two rows near the outer circle were holding guns and firing at the monsters in the gray fog behind them, while the people in the middle were all holding torches, and the concentrated firelight illuminated a large area nearby. And in the front... were naturally a team of psychics preparing to fight the Knights.
The cloaked man standing in the front, wearing a gray mask, observed Bai Qiu for a long time, and suddenly said: "You have changed a lot. Although you loved money before, you knew that greed would hurt you in the end. You never took ill-gotten gains, never took excessive property, and never crossed the line. But now you are obviously not sober anymore."
Bai Qiu moved his fingers, and his gray pupils turned calmly, focusing on the cloaked man who was speaking, and then he suddenly smiled, his tone as lazy and casual as ever, "Hey, this voice sounds familiar to me, isn't this the famous leader of the Hidden Lantern Society? How come you have time to put on tattered clothes and act like a ghost today?"
He squinted his eyes and looked at the thick gray fog in the downtown area, pretending to be enlightened and said: "Look at my memory. It's foggy today. Oh, right, it seems that some rats hiding in the sewers will come out in this weather. Ghosts and rats are both bad things that give people headaches."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere quickly became tense.
The knights, led by the adjutant, quickly drew their swords and took half a step forward in an orderly manner.
The team of psychics around O'White was also on high alert.
The battle is about to begin.
But at this moment, a strange voice suddenly appeared behind the Knights.
"The ones over here have just been counted, but the ones over there haven't been counted yet?"
The knights all had a bad feeling and turned around quickly, and then they saw a strange white-haired boy appearing opposite Bai Qiu's table. He was young, looked curious, and did not look threatening.
Then, under everyone's gaze, that? The strange boy who suddenly appeared? Raised his hand and reached into the gem box that Bai Qiu had just counted and put away, grabbed a handful of gems and threw them into the box that Bai Qiu had not counted.
"Okay, let's count it again, mental state Chijia brother."
White-haired boy? ...Of course it was Chu Xiuyan who had just turned into gray fog and traveled thousands of miles to watch the drama.
He rubbed his hands together, looking expectantly at the leader of the Fourth Knights in front of him, who had a weird look and an outrageous mental state, and he was happy to watch the fun.
The Knights were keenly aware of their own? The leader's emotions suddenly sank, and he immediately began to hold his breath.
The Hidden Light Society on the other side was also shocked by the white-haired boy. Why was he here? Owyte whispered something to his companion next to him. His companion nodded, then pressed his ear and moved his lips slightly, as if he was communicating with someone.
In the weird atmosphere, Bai Qiu, whose rhythm of counting gems was forcibly disrupted, laughed?, put the pen on the table, and looked at the white-haired boy in front of him?, "Let me introduce myself. I am Bai Qiu, the leader of the Fourth Knights of the Kingdom. My hobby is treasures, and I hate pigs. My previous mission was to escort someone in prison to the upper city, and my current mission is to kill a kid who doesn't know the immensity of the world?. What about you?"
Chu Xiuyan also? He began to introduce himself seriously: "I am Yunyan, the founder of the House of Amnesia, the second-generation leader of the Ghost Squad, the Dark Shadow Destruction King, the driver of the Toot Snake, and the giant travel partner? - I have more titles than you! My hobbies are traveling comics and team fighting, and I hate the Riddler and self-sacrifice. What I want to do now is to watch you count the gems again."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lost his focus and felt a sharp pain in his arm the next second, but when he looked down, there was nothing wrong with his left arm.
Bai Qiu, who was still sitting on the chair, stared at Chu Xiuyan for a few seconds, pinching his chin in thought, then clapped his hands, and the anger he had before disappeared without a trace, replaced by inexplicable happiness. He said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the upper city to cause trouble!"
"Making trouble?" Chu Xiuyan actually still wanted to see Bai Qiu count the gems again, but this sentence caught his attention again? He couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion, "Your mental state is so weird that you seem like one of us."
"I'm really one of us." Bai Qiu stood up, put his arm around the boy's shoulder, and whispered, "Guess why I hate pigs?"
Chu Xiuyan thought for a moment, "Because the king is a pig?"
Bai Qiu was extremely happy, "My friend, you can tell at first glance that we are a fellow traveler!"
He waved his hand, signaling that the adjutant and his subordinates could pack up and leave. "Don't forget to collect those boxes of gems. It's a pity that the rest..."
Bai Qiu turned his head with some regret to look in the direction of the Hidden Lantern Society. Those people were holding torches, and their dark cloaks blended into the fog. Only the bright firelight was particularly obvious in the fog, like burning eyes.
He made an inaudible sound, gave up the idea of snatching it, and turned around to continue chatting with the boy he just met? Chatting?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings from behind, like a group of birds moving quickly in the fog.
There was a burst of confusion in the Hidden Lantern Society.
"Damn it?! In the sky! Pay attention to the bird in the sky!"
"What a fast speed! Focus your attacks upwards! No, the gray wolf has also appeared—"
"First? Scatter! Go inside and hide!"
In the thick gray fog, a fire went out, and then there were various sounds of fighting.
The Knights were a little restless, and the adjutant asked, "Captain, do you need any help?"
"No need." Bai Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man beside him. "Are you not in the same group as the Hidden Light Society?"
Chu Xiuyan cleared his throat and said, "Look at what you said. I am an innocent, weak and pitiful ordinary person. Of course I will choose to join the strong. Right, big brother?"
Bai Qiu was amused: "Oh, you're even imitating my way of speaking. But in my opinion, you have weaknesses all over your body. If you're not careful, you'll probably die soon."
Chu Xiuyan shook his head and said, "Big Brother, you are wrong. I have weak points all over my body. I would be dead if I were stabbed by anyone."
"What if he dies?"
"Dead? Just? Die? Just? Die? I'm not lying to you. I also? Customized several coffins from that old coffin shop in the ruined city. They even provide after-sales service. I can even ask the boss to? Help? Change a coffin every day after I die."
"There is even after-sales service. How is this done? Internal channels? "
"Of course, I'm not lying to you. If you give me four or five boxes of gems, I can help you with the internal connections. How about that?"
Chu Xiuyan and Bai Qiu were whispering to each other, occasionally making strange laughs.
The knights' subordinates following behind exchanged glances.
"Oh no, the leader has led me crazy again? "
'Is that our mission objective this time?'
"The king's order is to bring him before him, but this young man is very strong. What is the king planning?"
Bai Qiu also happened to be talking about this matter, and in a casual tone he said something extremely important, "Friend, everything that happened in the Lower City is known to the king. He feels that he must kill you personally in order to resolve the threat brought by the prophecy and consolidate his own rule. So he suggests that you run away as soon as possible."
Chu Xiuyan: "But that pig can't beat me."
Bai Qiu stroked his chin, "That pig can't beat you, but if we unite, we can probably fight you halfway."
"you?"
"It's a group fight. Excluding the missing third Knight Commander [Bear], the other four Knight Commanders including me will join forces to beat you up. And as long as that pig dares to use a knife and see blood, you will die."
Bai Qiu pointed at himself and said, "I forgot to mention that I am a time-related psychic, an S-level one. I can speed up, slow down, and even pause time. Isn't that amazing?"
Chu Xiuyan was shocked and asked, "So? That is to say, you, a group of level 99 bosses, took down the entire? Kingdom with a pig?"
"As expected of you, brother. What you said is really nice. I like it." Bai Qiu exclaimed happily.
Chu Xiuyan changed the subject, "What a pity, I am a max-level god, three-digit and two-digit levels are like a chasm, if I stab you first, you will die... Do you have any treatment?"
“No.”
"Then first? Kill the auxiliary!"
"Okay, when the time comes, remember to kill me first, otherwise you won't win."
Chu Xiuyan and Bai Qiu clapped their hands happily to determine the next battle plan.
The system was shocked? : [Aren’t you enemies? You are almost killing each other, yet you can still chat so happily?! ]
…
at the same time.
While the Baiqiu Knights were stopped at the entrance, Zhang Chun immediately set out for the central city and contacted the informant who had been sent in.
The ticking sound of the clock rose and fell. The owner of the clock shop stared at Zhang Chun for a long time before asking: "Do you want to buy a clock?"
"What time is it now?"
"Twelve o'clock sharp." It was clearly already half past two in the afternoon, but the boss gave the wrong time.
Zhang Chun looked around the empty store, and the boss hinted that if necessary, they could go into the cubicle to exchange information.
"No need. I'll leave after I say a few words." Zhang Chun shook his head and said, "I know that your restaurant often has several old noble guests. Try to hint to them to hold a banquet tomorrow night."
The boss asked in a low voice, "So urgent? The nobles don't have much armed force, so it's useless to unite with them!"
"But they have money." Zhang Chun said, "I want it? If they lead Bai Qiu away, the king will definitely send Bai Qiu to the banquet."
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang in my ears.
'The Child of Prophecy? He has left prison and appeared before the Knights. There is no time to delay.'
Zhang Chun was about to respond when he heard another noise.
"Damn it?! There's a bird overhead! Don't panic, focus on attacking the sky!"
'Uh, I was caught by the birds in the sky, and they seemed to be taking us somewhere?'
About half a minute later, the sound rang in my ears again.
"...Damn it? It's a prison. That? The captain of the guards dressed in shiny clothes actually let those monsters arrest and imprison people?! Don't they? Have no professional ethics? "
"That three-meter-tall humanoid monster locked us all in a cell and took Liang Qiu Chao away... oh, right? You don't know Liang Qiu Chao yet, he is..."
Zhang Chun quickly brought the topic to the point, "Has O'White been arrested?"
'No, it seems that only half of them were captured, and the leader led the rest away.'
Zhang Chun breathed a sigh of relief. If even O'White was arrested, it would be really troublesome.
But speaking of it, Yun Yan's style of using bird-like mist beasts to arrest people and put them in prison was still as unexpected and decisive as ever.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, with particularly obvious joy and happiness.
"Wow, that clock is so beautiful, did Big Brother buy it for me?"
Zhang Chun reflexively supported himself on the table and flipped into the inner area. Facing the boss's confused gaze, he made a "quiet" gesture to him, and then looked up at the clock hanging above his head.
It is nearly one meter in size and is inlaid with colorful gemstones. It looks particularly delicate and brilliant. It is probably the treasure of the store.
Zhang Chun sensed through the ground that there was a person standing at the door of the store? A white-haired boy who looked so familiar that it was scary?
Damn it, he thought, that huge clock is right? Shang Yunyan has an aesthetic taste.
