Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 148
Everyone stopped their noise and looked at the four people who had just entered.

The leader was an ordinary-looking young man with an average build, plain clothes, simple temperament, and nothing special about him.

But the two people behind him are not the same. One is a one-armed strong man of amazing size, wearing tight linen clothes, and the arrow muscles on his body seem to be exploding. , looked very serious, and had the feeling of a veteran.

The other is a very thin and fragile beauty. She also wears ordinary linen clothes, but the ordinary-sized clothes look very spacious and empty on her body, and her temperament is also very special. A very rare heroic spirit.

In the woman's hand, she was holding a little girl who was only about 7 or 8 years old. The little girl frowned, with worries that were not commensurate with her age.

Such a combination is very strange and rare. The general adventure team will not bring children, and the general escort mercenaries rarely bring the wounded. Their combination is more like a family of three with bodyguards, but look at them The looks of each other are not quite alike, and none of the four of them are carrying weapons!In this case, even the old mercenary with the sharpest eyes can't see what these people are doing.

The young man in the lead went to the bar counter and sat down. He pressed a gold franc on the table: "Boss, give me a glass of barley wine."

After a while, a glass of barley wine was placed in front of the young man.
"A glass of barley wine is not worth a gold franc." The tavern owner picked up the gold coins on the table and looked at them.

"I heard that the Orchid Tavern is the most well-informed place in Valenciennes. I just want to ask for some news." The young man said bluntly.

"Oh." The boss stretched out his voice, and put the gold coin back on the table: "If this news comes out, it's more than one gold franc."

The young man didn't take it seriously, and took it out of his pocket, and a money bag was placed on the bar counter, and the gold coins collided inside, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

The owner of the bar looked around for a while, opened the purse again, and then whispered: "Since the customer is so sincere, come with me."

In the small room behind the bar, the robust boss with a white beard asked, "I don't know what news the guests want to know."

"News from the forest, I want to know, is there any noteworthy or unusual news or rumors in the nearby forest or mountains these days? Any news is fine." The young man's request was very broad.

"That's it, news from the forest and the mountains." The tavern owner picked up a book and flipped through it.

"There are a few pieces of information, I don't know if they are what you want." After a while, he stopped.

"Just say it directly, no matter what, the money will belong to you." The young man said lightly.

The boss didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "First of all, the first one, the two bandits who have been robbing the nearby business roads on weekdays are now gone. One group is called 'Tibetan Wolves', there are about 40 people, and they are the most powerful. The leader of the group is a martial arts master who is good at using short knives. Another group called "Rattlesnake" has more than 100 people, and it is said that there are three martial arts masters among them. The two groups often rob around the commercial road not far away, but usually only find soft Persimmon, they don’t touch larger caravans. There were several sieges in the city, but they escaped by hiding in the forest. They usually move around in the forest. It is said that there are their people in the deep forest. Stronghold. But in the past few months, they haven't made a move once, and even the few Lala who used to go to the city in disguise to buy goods have disappeared. It can be said that these two groups of bandits just disappeared."

"Second, 20 miles north of the city, a small village near the forest was slaughtered. The whole village was killed, and there was no one left alive. They are all poor people, they live by hunting and farming, they have no money at all, generally there are very few robbers, even if there are occasional robbers, they will not do it so cleanly."

"Third, two months ago, the baron of the city who went hunting in the forest disappeared. Including his subordinates, there were nearly 20 people, all of whom were skilled in martial arts. They disappeared just like that, and their bodies have not been found yet. , his family has been offering a huge reward."

One after another, the boss reported all the news, big and small.

"That's all." The boss closed the notebook and looked at the young man in deep thought.

"Oh, okay, sorry to trouble you." The young man frowned and left the small room.

"Intelligence collection is almost done. Let's go to the market for supplies first, and then leave the city." The young man walked to the door and left the bar with the other three people.

**********************
This group of people is of course Zhang Ang and the others who fled Paris a few days ago.

In addition to Zhang Ang and A Nuo, the other two are Albert, who has become unexpectedly powerful, and Little Susan, who is pestering Albert.

Originally, after they fled Paris, they didn't plan where to go. If they returned to Lyon, Zhang Ang was afraid that they would be involved in the Michelin Academy.

Under little Susan's plea, the group decided to help Susan find her father first.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

Running all the way, they first went to the small forest outside Durang City. Although it is said to be a small forest, it is actually very big, and across the river, it is connected to a larger forest and the vast and continuous mountains behind the forest. .

In such an environment, if you want to find someone, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

They first went to find the original barracks, and according to little Susan's suggestion, they carefully searched for some places that might grow herbs around them, but of course, because none of them were experts in tracking cases and finding clues, except for a few They found nothing at the place where the fight was suspected to have taken place.

They had no choice but to inquire around. Fortunately, they found a hunter living nearby.

According to the hunter's description, during that period of time, the prey in the forest became very scarce, and there was often no harvest for several days. On the day when the incident happened, he heard a lot of howling wolves, one after another, almost spreading throughout the forest. forest.This is a sign of a very large pack of wolves passing by.

According to the hunter's speculation, Susan's father was probably attacked by wolves.

After some hesitation and discussion, everyone hired the hunter and asked him to follow the wolves based on his years of experience to see if he could find the remains of Susan's father.

After tracking and searching in the forest for several days, they unexpectedly found an abandoned campsite, and around the campsite were countless scattered wolf footprints.

"The werewolf! It's the werewolf! Your friend was taken away by the werewolf!" Seeing this camp, the hunter instantly collapsed, and he didn't even want the other half of the commission. Then everyone fled.

Fortunately, everyone has also learned something about themselves along the way. They searched all the way, all the way north, and came to the city of Valenciennes, the northernmost city in France.
