Calamity Crown

However, no matter how much weight was reduced, the three of them were just like everyone else, gasping for breath with exhaustion.

However, no one dared to sit down and rest.

because……

The target person has escaped!

Thinking of this, Lute wished he could shoot down the guy from 'Halest' who was in charge of tracking him. He couldn't even look down on two big living people, and he still called himself an elite.

"What a waste!"

"If it wasn't for your lord's order, I would have sunk these bastards into the Simlai River to feed the fish!"

Root cursed angrily.

None of the surrounding subordinates objected.

After all, this was not their task in the first place.

They just cooperate.

Who knew those guys were so unreliable.

Thinking of this, these subordinates became more and more dissatisfied.

"Boss! Boss!"

"I found it!"

One of the men in front ran back.

"How about it?"

Although his heart was full of resentment, Root did not neglect, and followed his subordinates to the location where the Wendigo attacked. After careful inspection, the leader's face became serious.

"Apply the potion!"

With an order, the three men with backpacks immediately took out the medicine from the backpacks and handed them to the people around them.

When the painting was finished, they followed the trail of dragging and found the cave.

Root gestured at the two men, and immediately they put down the spears in their hands, held a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, and cautiously groped into the cave.

About 2 minutes later, a subordinate ran out——

"Boss, those guys from 'Halest' have been hung up by Wendigo as food reserves."

"waste!"

"Have you found anything else?"

"Where's the guy with Goethe Wayne?"

Root cursed again.

"I didn't find it, I should have taken advantage of it and ran away."

The subordinate shook his head.

"Good luck to him!"

"Where's the Wendigo?"

Root continued.

"It should have been killed - we saw charred bodies and some battle marks, but it was too messy for us to judge."

The guy said the truth.

"Leave two people to guard outside, and the rest, light a torch and come in with me."

Root gave an order, and everyone jumped into action.

Two men stood outside with guns on guard.

The rest of the people all entered the cave.

Then--

boom!

After an explosion, the entire cavern began to collapse.

Root and others who entered it were submerged by stones without reacting.

"Roar!"

Root roared angrily.

An invisible force field formed on his body, blocking the impact of the crushed stone.

But it didn't work at all.

Because, the real ultimate move is not these crushed stones at all.

The flames spread silently.

The next moment, Root was swallowed by flames.

Lute, who was burning all over his body, looked at the two men guarding the entrance of the cave, with a stern look on his face.

next moment--

"Ahhh!"

The two guards at the door screamed and fell to the ground.

After a few quick twitches, he was no longer breathing.

This scene made Goethe, who was just about to make a move to catch the living, frown.

"This, this...is a group of dead men?"

Swart couldn't help but gasped.

As the sheriff of Lust, Swart has seen many outlaws, but he can be sure that no outlaw can achieve this level.

Of course, the dead are not terrible.

What is scary is the person behind the dead man.

Big shot without a doubt!

And now, they are facing such a big shot.

Swart's face turned pale again.

"Goethe, why don't we run away?"

"Lust is not safe either."

"Going to Hallest is a dead end. Sure enough, Tesin can't stay any longer. Let's go abroad, take a boat to Faber, and then hide our names and wait for the calm."

The sheriff had his say.

"waste!"

Sheila commented as always.

Goethe inspected the corpse.

His insufficient supernatural knowledge made it impossible for him to confirm the cause of death of the corpse.

Fortunately, Sheila knew.

"It's a contract similar to drug coordination. One person controls one or several people, and then this controller will also be controlled by a higher-level person-in Tesin, such methods rarely appear, and most of them are in the law. According to the traditional aristocrats of the Boer and Rudshi kingdoms, many people like to use this method, especially Rudshi, who regard it as a manifestation of 'loyalty'."

"Faber? Rudds?"

"It's over, foreign countries are not safe anymore."

Swart looked desperate.

Goethe was thoughtful.

"If these people die, will the controller know?"

Goethe asked.

"Some will, some won't."

"Such methods are not cheap."

"Everyone who signs a contract needs a gold gram as a support. If there are additional conditions, this gold gram will be multiplied."

Sheila explained.

"Is that right?"

Goethe whispered to himself, and began to inspect the battlefield. After confirming that there were no survivors and no valuable information, he got up and picked up the luggage in the hidden place.

There is no need to stay now.

Of course, there will be no return to town.

Not to wait for the train to start again.

He wanted to take advantage of this "vacancy" that had finally appeared, and go directly to Hallest.

Only at Hallest would there be temporary security.

If you stay here, the opponent will only send chasing troops in a steady stream.

After all, this place should be quite important to the other party.

Thinking of the identity of the dead men and the potion that the team of dead men had just applied, Goethe narrowed his eyes slightly and walked faster.

This time, he didn't just smell the conspiracy.

Still in the middle of a conspiracy.

Goethe never forgot why he came to the north.

It is to inherit a legacy of Grand Duke Scrooge.

And now?

He was "led" into this bureau step by step by the people who blocked him from going to the northern border, which meant that the people who blocked him from going to "Halest" should be familiar with the people who arranged here.

And determined that the power here can kill him.

Even, very likely, is a person.

Of course, it is also possible to kill with a borrowed knife!

However, none of this matters!

The important thing is...

Who will stop him going to 'Halest'?

Chapter 6 Hallest

Late at night, Hallest.

In a secret room somewhere, a young man was flipping through the secret letter in his hand.

He looked calm, with thoughtful eyes.

After a few minutes, the young man laughed.

He raised his hand and lit the secret letter on the candle.

The flames were surging, illuminating the young man's face flickeringly.

"Goethe Wayne."

The young man looked at the burned secret letter and whispered the name softly.

Then, he got up and left the secret room.

……

When the first ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, Goethe, Sheila and Swart finally saw the largest city in the north, Hallest. A giant beast prostrated itself on the ground, ready to devour someone.
