Chapter 247 The Value of Captives

When Coulson saw the werewolf tribe, he thought he was going to be far away from civilization. It was not that he had never been to a wild land, but he was not comfortable every time, let alone as a captive.He had already planned to accept the reality. At least with their relatively valuable identities, he shouldn’t be locked in those animal pens like those unlucky orcs, only to be treated like lying on the mud, while humans and The werewolf shunted.

Stumbled and walked on the dark road in the middle of the night following the firelight ahead. After everyone felt exhausted, the originally terrible road gradually became open and flat, and the wet and heavy mountain soil was mixed in the cold night wind. The aura became weaker and weaker, and even Coulson breathed a sigh of relief when a huge shadow was barely discernible by the naked eye.

The shadows of the light thinned the darkness, and the rough walls reflected the light source. They were led around the corner, and after passing a row of tall houses, the bright lights from overhead suddenly stung their eyes, because many people couldn't help themselves. Looking at the street lamps placed on the tall pillars beside the road, these well-informed captives thought they were torches at first, until they squinted their eyes and recognized that the lights were shining brightly in air-like transparent covers. Yes, not any lighting they were familiar with.

Coulson turned his head to observe the suddenly open field, and they came to a huge military camp.

Yes, barracks.Although it was very different from the barracks he was familiar with, Coulson was completely sure that this was where the humans who cooperated with werewolves were stationed and trained.

There were quite a few people looking around like him, and the low-level exclamation and comments spread like they saw the huge animal fence surrounded by wire mesh, and then stopped under the scolding of the escort.

They walked through the huge practice field along the illuminated road, and after a while, the human army, which had been advancing silently, stopped at the edge of the practice field, maintaining a discipline that even Coulson secretly surprised. Under the hoarse orders of the captain who should be an officer, they began to organize the team in a chaotic but orderly manner.Except for those survivors who were known for their physical strength, Coulson didn't feel that the ordinary soldiers with native faces still had much energy after the long journey, but they didn't complain, and they didn't cooperate in any way.

And these captives were taken in another direction. Coulson looked away thoughtfully, and followed the team to a row of flat-roofed houses on the other side. Amidst the clanging of metal, their caretaker He opened the wooden doors one after another, then turned his head and said harshly to them: "This is the place you want to live, two people share one room, and the designated person will let me in!"

The merchants and mages stirred up a bit, but no one protested directly.

There was nothing to protest, the houses were not small for a prison, and the windows were quite large.Coulson looked at the mirror-like reflection in the center of the window frame, and wanted to take a closer look. He felt that he was not receiving any special attention, but unexpectedly met a pair of golden eyes.The extremely powerful silver-haired mage was standing by, looking at these obedient captives cowering like stupid birds with an attitude that didn't know whether to say it was elegant or casual.

Of course those arrogant mages didn't like this kind of treatment, but in front of this one, they could only describe it as stupid if they persisted in that kind of arrogance.

This beauty is also dazzling in the dark... Although this kind of thinking is very inappropriate, Coulson still admired the rare characters in the world for a while, just like those who are afraid and can't help but secretly cast their eyes over Like other people, the weakness of human nature.

Coulson actually didn't like the eunuchs in the palace who were castrated in their youth in order to maintain their appearance and figure, but this unusual appearance was not obtrusive on a man like the silver-haired mage, and it was not related to the aura of power The reason is that this kind of appearance is no longer in the general aesthetic standards.And... Although it is extremely pleasing to the eye, it really feels scary after watching it for a long time.

As if noticing his gaze, the mage smiled at him.

While Coulson wasn't so narcissistic about thinking a smile could mean anything, after hesitating for a moment between ducking his head and taking a risk, he followed his instincts.Seeing him walking towards the terrifying mage who didn't know if he was human, the mage with different pupils at the other end of the captive team really wanted to form an ice cube and throw it at Coulson's head right now, but before he got out of the crowd Before the crowd squeezed past, the blond-haired young nobleman had already arrived in front of Mage Jintong, and the soldiers who were counting and naming the prisoners just glanced at him, showing no intention of stopping him.

"Hello, my name is Korsen Molayev Kotin, Lucia's businessman." Coulson said, he himself felt that this was the most clumsy approach.

"Hello." To his surprise, the silver-haired mage didn't seem to take this as an offense.

"The previous battle was really impressive," Coulson said. "I have watched many battles, and there has never been a war like this one where the warring parties can achieve such a subversive result under such a huge disparity in numbers."

The silver-haired mage tilted his head slightly, "So?"

His tone was soft, not like he was being sarcastic or questioning. Coulson considered his vocabulary and chose the most direct: "That's your strength?"

The silver-haired mage showed a dazzling smile, "No."

Coulson knew that asking this question would be tantamount to courting death, but before retreating, he still asked a very important question to him, "Excuse me...do I have a chance to meet the 'Far East Sorcerer'?"

"It's not up to me." The silver-haired mage gave him a completely unexpected answer. He glanced at the different-eyed mage in another place and smiled, "Actually, I also find it a little troublesome."

This is also an admirable smile, but if Coulson couldn't hear the chill hidden in that sentence, he wouldn't be alive now. This mage actually doesn't like their "trouble" very much...he can only With a sigh, "This is indeed a very wrong decision, and I regret it already."

"It's okay." The silver-haired mage said softly, "Humans do often do things that they regret."

Coulson returned to the captives without losing a single hair. The others looked at him with surprise mixed with admiration, and only he knew what it felt like.After meeting the eyes of Master Yitong, he shook his head slightly. Master Yitong twitched his mouth. Not long after, Coulson was called out. He pointed to Master Yitong, expressing that he wanted to live with him , the person in charge of formulating frowned, but the silver-haired mage came over at this time, and almost everyone looked at him.

"What's wrong with that, I've been here anyway," he said.

The different pupil mage sighed silently.

The condition of the prison is really good. There are doors and windows, and there is even furniture. The cabinet is in the corner, with water jugs and pottery bowls on it, and a very novel double-layer wooden frame bed. It is not spacious, but it will not let Cole Sen's height felt aggrieved, and there was a thick layer of straw on it. There was no damp and musty smell, and there were no small things that jumped on him. It was dry and soft, and it was full of appeal to tired legs.Master Yitong pressed the surface of the bed, and then lifted the straw mat. With the still bright light outside, they found that the bottom was actually made of finely processed wooden boards.But what Coulson and his wizards looked at most carefully were the hard "crystals" embedded in the window frames.

"Man-made?" Coulson tapped with his fingers. If he hadn't considered the consequences, he really wanted to tap a piece to take a look.

"There is no doubt about it," said the different pupil mage.

Judging from the size of the house and the spartan interior decoration, it is difficult to convince Coulson that this kind of place is specially arranged for people with status, which means something more incredible.He really wanted to talk to Master Yitong, but when he thought of the silver-haired mage who was "always here", he had to be careful. The two looked at each other silently in the limited light, and then the street lights went out.

A darkness where you can't see your fingers.

"...are you up there or me?"

"Of course it's you."

Sir Coulson then climbed up by himself in the dark.

Regarding how to deal with these captives, the opinions within the settlement are not uniform. First of all, their identities are complicated. A businessman, a self-proclaimed head of the chamber of commerce, a mage, at least two senior mages, those juniors and apprentices in front of them. They are not qualified to speak, and until enough information is collected, it is impossible to determine whether they came for werewolves or for other purposes.

There is also the bag of blood crystals obtained by the werewolf patriarch Scar that can alienate ordinary orcs into monsters.

Takla, who returned to the settlement, also brought them to the meeting. When those heart-shaped crystals that reflected the heavy light were dumped on the table, some people at the meeting table reacted very violently, and some people stepped back suddenly , Some people covered their noses, and other people also showed disgusted expressions on their faces. Except for Takla, almost all of them were survivors.

A crystal rolled to a place not far from Yunshen, he stretched out his hand, and Fan Tianlan pushed it down before halfway there, but even if there was no direct contact, the change still happened.

The fuchsia smoke escaped and rose from the crystal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before others could react, Fan Tianlan picked up the crystal and threw it out of the window. Takla swept the crystals back into the leather bag, and quickly tied the mouth of the bag tightly, but the chaotic and dirty mist still hovered on the table, changing and transforming under the shocked eyes of others, and then emerged Putting on a weeping evil face, he rushed straight towards Yun Shen.

It then dissolves into the air extremely quickly.

It wasn't like melting ice and snow, but like hitting an invisible barrier, like thin paper burned by fierce fire, it disappeared without a trace in an instant, and there seemed to be a short scream in the air.

No one spoke.Fan Tianlan slowly let go of Yun Shen, and frowned at Takla, who also had a rare serious expression on his face, looking down at the leather bag in his hand.

"Stay away from him." Fan Tianlan said.

"I know." Takla said, then glanced at Yun Shen, "I'll deal with this."

He walked out of the conference room, and the others collected their emotions. Some went to get brooms to clean up the glass shards on the floor. Yun Shen sat on the seat and looked at his left hand.There are no wounds on it.

"Sorry, I should have been more careful just now." He raised his head and said to Fan Tianlan who was still putting his hand on his shoulder.

"It's not your problem." Fan Tianlan said.

"He didn't do it on purpose." Yun Shen said.

"You don't have to excuse him." Fan Tianlan said.

"..."

At this time, Takla called Fan Tianlan's voice, and after saying "don't move around" to Yun Shen, Fan Tianlan walked out.

Takla had already walked a certain distance, he was still holding those things that caused trouble, and on the other side was holding a crystal in his empty hand, which looked like the one that Fan Tianlan threw out.

"Look at this." Takla said, he handed the crystal to Fan Tianlan, then took another one out of the leather bag and stretched it out in front of him.

Compared with the one that fell into Fan Tianlan's hand, the crystal in Takla's hand was obviously much heavier and dirtier, while the one that Yun Shen almost touched had a bright red color.Takla stared at Fan Tianlan's palm for a while, the crystal had been lying on his place, and then said: "It doesn't seem to be your problem. The wolf patriarch is fine, and your relative crushed one." Nothing happened, and I kept them with me, just in front of him—”

He looked at Fan Tianlan.

Fan Tianlan pointed hard, and with the clear cracking sound, the crystal became a pile of powder. He poured these unchanged things into the leather bag and said, "Then give it to the person you mentioned." .”

"Let him watch or deal with it?" Takla asked.

"Whatever." Fan Tianlan said.

Although there was an accident, the meeting continued, but everyone paid more attention to the bloody crystal.Takla has reported on this stuff in quite a bit of detail, no matter last year or this year, this kind of man-made objects used for suicide attacks have been shown on the battlefield, the Tiger Clan used them as the finale, the besieged strong beast army The general is only used when he intends to struggle for the last time. Patriarch Sacher also encountered a deformed orc in the battle of the main account, and judging from the specific details of the shape and combat power, the difference between them is very obvious.

This kind of creation does not belong to the orc empire, and is completely imported from the outside.As for the source -

"Our current tendency is Lucia." The person in charge of the intelligence department said, "The captives we brought back claim to be from the business group of the Sith Principality. As a middle-ranking prince of Lucia, the Sith Principality borders part of the Orc Empire and has A certain number of alchemists."

She looked at Yun Shen who was listening intently, "For more specific and accurate information, we are preparing for interrogation."
