One of them had a pointed chin and eyes that blinked from time to time. He jumped out from the darkness and looked forward.

"Nick, are you sure they were here?"

"certainly."

Nick's eyes were azure blue, and he replied in a muffled voice, "I've been watching Aya and the others for a whole month. Besides, even if you don't believe me, you should trust the mouse's sense of smell."

"Book!"

He turned to look at the last person: "Could this be the person the Brotherhood is looking for?"

"Whether it is or not, what does it matter?" Hearing this, Ben sneered:

"For a little girl with no foundation to build up a force in a short period of time, how she does it is the most important thing."

"Don't you want to know where she gets all that food?"

"That's right." Nick nodded. "If we have her channel, we won't lose anything even if we don't join the Brotherhood."

No! By then, it won’t be them trying every possible way to join the Brotherhood, but the other party will beg them to join.

Although they were initially commissioned by the Brotherhood to find the murderer who killed Red Hair, it is now irrelevant compared to the situation of the investigation.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile.

"First confirm whether this is their trading location. If confirmed, tell the leader to prepare."

Ben stretched his arms and legs: "I've had enough of that damn girl."

"So..." one person said:

"Are you here for Aya?"

"certainly."

Ben nodded subconsciously, then turned around abruptly, looking in the direction of the voice with a look of surprise:

"Who's there?"

Carl walked out of the darkness and looked at the three people. His expression was slightly relieved: "At least it's not the worst outcome."

It seems that Aya did not betray him, and even the people in Aya's gang did not collude with outsiders, which means that he did not choose the wrong person.

It was worth it that he stayed here for two days.

"Get started!"

Nick growled, lunged forward, waved his hands, and shot out several hidden arrows.

The other two reacted a little slower, but the living environment in Black City also forced them to make a decision in the first time.

Following Nick, they rushed forward one after the other.

When they discovered someone was spying on them, they immediately chose to take action, and once they took action, they would kill them.

"Oh……"

Carl chuckled.

Zero Ring Witchcraft - Secondary Spell Field! As his mental strength increased, the power of the witchcraft also increased, and an invisible force field enveloped the surroundings.

moment.

When the incoming arrow got three feet close to Carl, it seemed to penetrate into the water. The strong resistance caused the arrow to move slowly.

"when……"

With a light swing of the broadsword, the arrow was knocked away.

at the same time.

Carl snapped his fingers lightly with his left hand.

Light magic! A blinding white light suddenly appeared.

The three people who rushed over subconsciously closed their eyes, their reactions paused, and their movements were completely disrupted.

Oh! "Huh..."

Carl stepped on the ground, his body like a flying bird, the broadsword in his hand rolled up a gust of wind, and rushed towards the three people.

Eagle attack!

Gale swordsmanship!

He did not hold back and used his best fighting skills as soon as he attacked.

Fierce Wind Slash! Several afterimages appeared out of thin air, merging with the broadsword itself, and instantly enveloped the three people on the field.

The suppression of the secondary magic force field made the three people move slowly, and they were unable to organize a decent defense against the incoming attack.

Just a moment.

"puff!"

“Puff!”

Blood splattered.

"ah!"

Nick screamed towards the sky, and his big hand shook violently, and a chain with a sharp tip flew out from his sleeve.

“Clatter…”

The flying chains actually caused Carl's movements to pause slightly.

But that was all. The sword shadow retracted and expanded, and a head jumped high into the air. The headless corpse spurted blood a foot high and fell to the ground dejectedly.

Death! A moment later.

"So, the red-haired brother of the Brotherhood was killed, and they couldn't find the murderer for a while, so they asked you, as the local boss, to help investigate, and promised that if you can find the murderer and avenge the red-haired brother, you can join the Brotherhood."

"During the investigation, you discovered that Aya was secretly trading with someone, so you turned to investigate the transaction?"

"That's right." Ben was covered in blood and said angrily:

"If you kill Red Hair, the Brotherhood will never let you go, and the leader will not let Aya and the others go either."

"you……"

“They all must die!”

Judging from his condition, he had suffered a lot of torture, and he knew in his heart that he could not escape the disaster. His angry roar now was just to seek relief through a quick death.

"Maybe."

Carl nodded:

"Unfortunately, you can't see it."

As soon as the words fell, the broadsword swept past, and Ben's body froze, the life in his eyes disappeared, and he fell to the ground with his back to the sky.

After killing three people, Carl did not leave. Instead, he took out a whistle from his body and blew it hard.

“Beep…”

A sharp whistle sounded in the distance.

Not long.

Aya and Xiaonan jumped out from a nearby crack, looked around, and ran straight towards Carl.

"Uncle."

"Uncle..." Aya looked at the body on the ground with surprise: "What's going on?"

"Someone is following us and investigating us." Carl said slowly, "Their leader is called Iron Fist Abe. Have you heard of this name?"

"Iron Fist Abe?" Aya's expression changed, and her eyes became gloomy:

"certainly!"

"This guy is a local tyrant in the Laka market. He owns more than a dozen stalls and has been causing trouble for us recently."

Aya didn't find it strange at all that the other party was staring at her.

But the fact that the other party was able to find Carl meant that the transaction between the two was likely already known to others, which was related to the life and death of their small team.

Karl looked at Aya and asked, "What are you going to do?"

He did not say that the cause of the incident was related to his killing of the red-haired man, but he wanted to see how Aya would deal with the situation today and whether she could satisfy him.

"Uncle."

After a moment of silence, Aya suddenly said:

"Konan is already a knight's squire."

"That's right!" Xiaonan beside him patted his chest:

"Uncle Carl, I am now a knight's squire."

Knight Squire?

Carl's eyes moved slightly.

This was beyond his expectations.

However, Xiaonan's physique is very different from ordinary people. He is stronger than an adult when he is only in his teens. In addition, with the guidance of old Lev, he has learned breathing techniques and martial arts. He has also had sufficient nutrition during this period. It is natural for him to become a knight's squire.

"so……"

He looked at Aya:

"What did you say first?"

"I want to say..." Aya said word by word:

"I am no longer the little girl who could be bullied at will!"

Hearing this,

Karl couldn't help but smile.

* * * Iron Fist Abe’s base was not far from the Laka market. About twenty people, including him, occupied a dilapidated manor.

night.

Figures appeared one after another nearby and surrounded the manor.

"Iron Fist Abe has two masters around him, plus himself, that's three knight attendants, and they are the strongest with their strength."

"But Abei likes to drink. He drinks every day and gets drunk every time. No matter what, his fighting ability will be greatly reduced after drinking."

Aya whispered, "Wait for the right opportunity, and then we'll rush in and get rid of his helpers first, and then surround Iron Fist Abe."

"Uncle."

She looked at Karl: "Please watch from the side."

"Um."

Carl nodded.

In the past few months, not only has he become stronger, but Aya has also become stronger, not to mention that they have hired help on this trip.
