Cards are born to be king

Chapter 40 Ash Snake

The woman's black robe was messy, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she didn't seem very old.She didn't know what she had experienced, but most of the black robe on her body had almost turned into strips of cloth, revealing bloody wounds.If Ken hadn't taken off the cloak and covered her body, she might have looked even more embarrassed.

After noticing that Jiang Yong had come, Ken had no time to say hello.He cleared away a piece of debris around him, just about to put the woman down.But looking around, and noticing the potholes on the ground, Ken frowned, embarrassed.

After looking around, he finally held the woman with one hand, took off the captain's animal skin cloak who was still in a coma, and put it on the ground.Only then did he lightly put the girl on the cloak.

Captain Custer in a coma: ...

When Ken carefully put her on the cloak, his movements were too careful, as if he was not facing a seriously injured and unconscious person, but some terrifying monster.Jiang Yong noticed that when Ken moved, the woman's broken black robe accidentally lifted a corner, revealing her small and fair ankles.In addition to the horrible scars scattered all over it, there is also a circle of tattoos resembling golden olive leaves.

After finally placing the woman, Ken just breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe his sweat.

Obviously she doesn't look heavy, but after a series of actions just now, Ken sweats more than fighting a monster.With an extremely tangled and fearful expression on his face, Ken turned around and saw Jiang Yong standing not far away looking at him.The boy's eyes glanced over from the girl, and then turned back to himself.

Beast.

Inexplicably, it seemed as if he had sensed this meaning from Jiang Yong's eyes. Before he could say a series of things in his heart, Jiang Yong "kindly" changed the topic.

"Who is she? I remember that there are no female adventurers in your team."

Jiang Yong squatted down and observed the wound on the girl's body.These scars looked very weird, as if a thunderbolt had directly struck a person, bloody and bloody.And there are still many traces of tearing among them, which looks shocking.

"She is... someone we can't afford to mess with."

Ken said with a heavy tone, he looked at the woman with fear in his eyes.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jiang Yong also saw fear in his eyes.But this is obviously just a seriously injured girl, and looking closer, she may not be more than 15 years old, so what is there for a powerful adventurer to be afraid of.

Jiang Yong was full of curiosity, but Ken obviously didn't want to say more.After carefully inspecting the wounds on the woman's body, a look of doubt and shock appeared on his face.Immediately afterwards, Ken took out a medicine bottle from his arms and poured it down for her.Then Ken subconsciously walked to the opposite corner farthest from the woman, and called the card goblin to ask.

"Suddenly appeared in the cave, with scars on his body...um..."

Hearing Ka's intermittent statement, Ken fell into deep thought.And Jiang Yong stood aside, under Ken's admonition, he did not observe the unconscious woman too much, which was originally impolite.There was a faint murmur in the corner, as if the strongest Captain Custer had woken up.

Jiang Yong was about to go over to have a look, but after taking two steps, his movements froze.

It was as if a pair of fierce eyes suddenly opened, staring at him coldly from behind, that terrifying aura made Jiang Yong's scalp explode.He felt as if he was being stared at by some top monster, as if he was staring at the abyss, he didn't dare to move.But soon, that gaze turned away, and the suffocating coercion also disappeared.

Tangled in his heart for a long time, Jiang Yong turned his head cautiously.It turned out that the black-robed woman who was lying on the cloak before had woken up. Noticing Jiang Yong's gaze, she also glanced this way.

The clear light blue-gray eyes are like the most luxurious crystal, but they are cold and have no breath of life.When she turned her head, Jiang Yong noticed the woman's face. Even though he was male, Jiang Yong's breathing was stagnant.

It is a kind of cold beauty that keeps people away thousands of miles away, like a glacier frozen for thousands of years, charming and daunting.The woman does look very young, even a little immature.But her gaze is enough to make people ignore her age.

Looking around, the woman stood up wearing a cloak.When she stood up, she staggered a bit, but quickly stabilized herself.The short silver hair sticks to the ear, like delicate strands of silver.This hair color made Jiang Yong suddenly have an idea in his mind, he focused on the woman's face, and carefully looked at the nose and eyes.Jiang Yong touched his chin in doubt.

Hey...how do you feel that this person looks a bit like Amos?

"Thank you."

The cold voice was a little hoarse.The woman staggered as she got up, and blood dripped from her body.Jiang Yong hesitated to step forward to help, but Ken took his hand at this moment and shook his head solemnly.The woman quickly stood firm, passed the two of them, and walked straight into the side hole that Jiang Yong came out of before.

Ken and Jiang Yong followed her cautiously, watching the woman walk into the inner room.After noticing the black bird-shaped statue, she snorted coldly, and then she walked behind the statue.A burst of light flickered, and the woman disappeared in place.And when she left, the bird-shaped sculpture collapsed.

There was silence in the inner room, and the card goblin didn't know where to hide for a long time.Ken and Jiang Yong looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"What a fierce woman, it feels like she is going to kill someone."

"She has killed quite a few people. When you see people in black robes like this in the future, don't provoke them lightly."

Ken said with lingering fear, he walked past the broken statue and took a closer look at the back of the statue.It turns out that there is actually a teleportation array here.

"If my guess is correct, she should be Lord Cassio, the head of the twelve black-robed star envoys of the Star Temple."

Sensing Jiang Yong's curiosity, Ken's tone was a bit warning.

"Don't think too much, just swallow everything today. These are not things you and I should know."

Sensing Ken's seriousness, Jiang Yong didn't ask any more questions.This woman looks particularly dangerous, it's better to stay away from such a person.Under Ken's detection, they found that the teleportation array turned out to be directly leading to the Twilight Forest, and it was not far from Carter Town.

This teleportation array looks like it has been around for a while, and it doesn't look like it was drawn recently.I don't know why this black-robed star envoy came here through the teleportation array, and he was covered in injuries.But Jiang Yong has decided not to think about it anymore.At this moment, Captain Custer finally woke up. The others were still in a coma, but they looked better.

You can't stay here for long, there are too many monsters, and the snow goblins can't be trusted.After discussing with Ken for a while, Custer decided that everyone should go through the teleportation array.Jiang Yong hastily tied up all the purses and took them over.He paid attention to the expressions of the two people, and found that Custer casually glanced at this side, and had no intention of taking it away.

He breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Yong still felt a little happy when he thought that he had so much money all of a sudden.Regardless of the process, at least the result is good.When he was fastening the last purse, his hand was cut and he didn't care.Following Captain Custer and Ken carried those still in a coma into the teleportation array, with a flash of white light, everyone disappeared.

……

In the past few days, the people of Carter Town have also felt that something is wrong. Many people they don't know often come in and out of the town.The mayor went door to door and told them not to go out casually.

In the warehouse next to the town, Corky looked at the blue-tailed eggs neatly stacked inside, puzzled.I lost all my eggs a few days ago, and I can't find them no matter what.But now there are more and more eggs.He made people strictly guard here, but those people are trash, they didn't see anything, but there were more and more eggs.

"It's very strange."

Taking an egg from the warehouse, Corky turned it upside down, expressing satisfaction with the weight.If it was in the royal city of Xingyao Empire where his family is located, he would definitely not make such inelegant movements.But after being here for a long time, some habits have changed.Of course, Corky would not admit that he had become as perverted as those rough people.

Give this egg to your father when you get back. He seems to be very tired recently.

Kirkie thought.Although he has been living next to the warehouse recently and has not returned home, the news that Uncle De brings from time to time still worries him.No longer thinking about how the eggs came back, Corky swaggered across the town square with his entourage.

There are a lot fewer pedestrians on the road these days, and there is not even a single person blocking the way.Passing by the library, Corky noticed that there were many silver cats running around, not knowing what they were doing.The town is not big, and he returned home quickly after passing the library.It was the tallest and most luxurious building in the town.

But as soon as he entered the house, Corky stopped in surprise.In the hall, there were many packages piled up in a mess, and many things in the past were put away.The hall has now become messy and empty, and all the servants are busy. After noticing Corky's return, they all stopped their work and respectfully paid their respects.

What's going on here, are they going to move back to Wangcheng tomorrow?Why no one informed him?

Corky felt a little uneasy. After arresting a servant who was impatient to ask questions, he rushed to the second floor like a whirlwind, and rushed into the study of old Evans.

"Father, what's going on down there? We're going to..."

Corky was full of doubts, but suddenly got stuck after seeing his father's face.He has been living near the warehouse for the past few days and has not come back.But in the past few days, old Evans' hair turned out to be a lot grayer, and his face was tired.After noticing that Corky rushed in so rudely, he only twitched his facial muscles, and didn't reprimand him.

The father's strange behavior made Corky stop talking, and he looked at the man eagerly, feeling uneasy and anxious.

After noticing Corky's worried and concerned eyes, old Evans' expression relaxed a little.

"Cole, we're leaving Carter Town tonight."

tonight?leave?

Corky was a little dazed, although he kept thinking about returning to Wangcheng.But he didn't expect it to happen so suddenly, and he was blindsided all at once.Seeing that his father's expression didn't look like he was joking, Corky plucked up his courage and said doubtfully:

"Why are you in such a rush? Although Carter Town is remote and the country people are barbaric, it's not unbearable. Our blue-tailed eggs haven't been fully released yet..."

"Forget about blue-tailed eggs."

Old Evans waved his hand impatiently.

"Hurry up and pack your things, don't bring too much. Let's leave directly tonight..."

Old Evans didn't finish speaking, but stopped abruptly.The surrounding atmosphere condensed instantly, and old Evans' light brown eyes moved, hiding fear deep inside.But he didn't show it.

"Father? Father, what's the matter?"

I don't know why my father stopped talking suddenly, Corky asked cautiously after waiting for a while.But then he only saw his father waving his hand at him, his face was stiff and something was wrong.

"Father?"

Walking in front of old Evans, Corky's mind was in a mess.But at this moment, he heard his father say softly:

"Cole, you have always been my father's pride."

Ok?

what happened?

Received a rare compliment in 800 years, but Corky was not as happy as he imagined.His father's behavior was really weird, he had never heard his father speak in such a low voice.And there seemed to be some trembling in that voice.Corky has never been a calm person, and this series of abnormalities made him unable to calm down anymore.

what is the problem!

"Go to Vincent County to find your mother, don't hesitate. Remember, go to Vincennes County."

Old Evans' voice was still so soft that it was almost inaudible.Corky tried his best to lean his head over to hear more clearly, but at the next moment old Evans suddenly stood up and pulled him over!Because it was his father, Corky, who didn't resist, but staggered two steps in a daze.Immediately afterwards, he only felt that his father stuffed something hard into his arms.

Grabbing Corky with one hand, old Evans pressed somewhere on the wall with the other hand.There was a soft 'click', the bookcase moved away, and a compartment appeared behind it!

"go!"

Old Evans snorted, and pushed Corky behind him.The dazed Korky staggered to a standstill in the cubicle, and was about to ask a question, but at the next moment, several rays of light suddenly came from around him.This turned out to be the light of the teleportation array!

"What's going on, father?!"

Something flashed through his mind in an instant, Corky's heartbeat was astonishingly fast at this time, and he was almost driven crazy by anxiety and restlessness.He still has a lot of questions, but the teleportation array has already been activated.Corky saw his father straighten his back, leaving only his back.Just like before.

"Yin Xinghuo, I want you to remember this word, even if you die, you must not forget it. Let's go, if you can't keep what I gave you, then throw it away..."

With a sigh, old Evans left the cubicle.The door closed, Korky seemed to realize something, and frantically wanted to rush out of the teleportation array.But at the next moment, the light flashed.The teleportation array was activated, and he disappeared in place, so he didn't see the next shocking scene.

Old Evans sat back in the armchair, and in front of him, from the door, the colors of the room were rapidly fading away.

Mahogany doors, gilt carved handles, thick cashmere carpets.Wooden carvings, gems of various colors...In an instant, everything in the room became black and white.

"Knock down."

There were two unhurried knocks on the door, and after receiving no response, the wooden door opened.A well-dressed middle-aged man walked in.That was Uncle De, who had been their housekeeper since the old Evans took Kirky away from the royal city, and had served the Evans family for decades.

"master."

Uncle De walked in, turning a blind eye to the black and white scenes around him.He respectfully called Master, but his actions showed no respect at all.After closing the door behind his back, he looked at the person stiff in the seat with a half-smile.Old Evans couldn't move at all, only his pupils shrank suddenly.

It turned out to be you.

He couldn't speak anymore, only a ho-ho sound came out of his throat.Old Evans, too, had gone completely black and white, as anyone else would have noticed.He could only watch helplessly as the man got closer and closer.Uncle De's originally curved back gradually straightened, and all those wrinkles disappeared.In a completely black and white room, only he has color.

"Oh, I miscalculated, I didn't expect there to be a teleportation array here."

The man said with a smile, not worried at all.He is very handsome, with a small black and white snake tattooed on the right side of his face.I don't know if it was an illusion, but the snake was squirming slowly.Old Evans was not talking, the man walked around him, put on the awning and looked out the window leisurely, as if he was not in a hurry to chase after Corky.

"Hey, look what this is, I actually found something good here."

The man hooked his lips.Ignoring old Evans any more, he lightly jumped out of the window.Behind him, there was a rustling sound.Immediately afterwards, those black and white flew up!Looking closely, it turned out to be countless small black and white flying insects.They flew into the air and gathered into a black and white card.Follow him.

After the worms left, only rustling noises were heard.Like dust collapsing, there was a soft puff, and the whole room turned into powder.Whether it was the old Corgi who was standing before, or the furniture, all the ashes were wiped out.In the open space, the dust formed a character 'seven' as if manipulated.

Looking out from the collapsed wall, Ambier could only be seen hurrying across the street towards the library.
