Chapter 123 Stranger passing by
Tom raised his little ears and eavesdropped on the conversation at the next table. She was probably the daughter of the lord's family.
The man dressed in a guard said, "Miss Lily, the battlefield ruins of that year have to go north for one day before we can reach it. We can rest in the town for a day or two before setting off."
——They are going to the ruins of the Battle of Hurdon.
——Lily, a really nice name.
The man next to Lily said, "Then Lily, let's take a break for two days before leaving. This is Fabian's mother's hometown. That year, she told me that the Feather Snake tribe had many special source energy usage skills, so that if I had the chance, I must learn it."
——Karange? Where are they? They are not from the New World?
——Who is this kid? I am so close to my goddess!
The beautiful maid said, "The people of the Feather Snake tribe are all born hunters, but although this place is called the Hunter City, most of the Feather Snake tribes do not live in the city, and the city is just their trading market. If you want to find them to learn source and energy skills, you can only go to their village."
——Oh, this maid is also very beautiful, with a different charm.
The guard said, "Mr. Jacques, Miss Lily, I suggest we leave here as soon as possible. The source energy skills are not something that can be mastered overnight. The Wharton private soldiers before still made me very uneasy. I was worried that things would not be settled so easily. It would be safe to cross the mountain pass as soon as possible and arrive at the colony of Stuart."
——Wharton? They have any involvement with the Wharton family?
——That boy is named Jacques? What does it have to do with my goddess?
Lily said, "Then let's take a break and set off before we set off. Wuming, arrange for someone to buy supplies on the road, and we'll set off tomorrow."
——The goddess is leaving!
After Lily and her group finished their meal, they went out to find a hotel.
Tom still hadn't finished his potato beef, biting the spoon, he said vaguely: "Dad Irving, do you know where Carlanger is?"
The restaurant owner Owen cleaned up the table and replied, "Of course you guy from the Northern Territory don't know. Just ask me, a southerner. It's a small town next to Musai Port."
It's true that it's from the empire, a beautiful southern girl.
...
Three days later at noon, Tom had dinner at Dad Irving's restaurant again.
The restaurant door was pushed open, and a masked woman came in, followed by a fully armored warrior.
Although the woman was masked, she had a hot figure, and Tom was immediately attracted to her eyes.
The soldier walked to Dad Irving's bar, took out a piece of paper, which was a portrait on it, and asked Dad Irving if he had seen this person.
After all, Tom is also an extraordinary person. He can see the portrait on the paper from a distance, and he is the woman he met yesterday.
The masked woman suddenly turned her head and faced Tom with a mask, which scared her sugar water cup in her hand almost landed on the ground.
Immediately, the woman walked towards Tom and the warrior followed.
The masked woman sat down opposite him and said in a hoarse voice: "Have you seen this woman?"
Tom looked down at his gray tax officer uniform, and became bolder and said loudly: "I have seen it... I have never seen it before. Do you need to report it to you?"
The fully armored warrior, who took off his helmet, was about forty years old, and said, "We are the orders of Lord Walton to pursue this woman and his accomplices. If you see him, tell me."
"I have seen it and know where they are. But why should I tell you that the Walton family is not familiar with me?" Tom wanted to take the opportunity to gain some benefits. After being an official for several years, Tom thought he had already mastered a certain level of experience.
A pressure fell, and Tom felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, and everything around him became huge. The table in front of him was like a mountain, and the warrior and the woman in black were invincible giants taller than the mountain, and he seemed to be going to be grains of rice or dust.
A thunderous voice sounded: "Think carefully and tell me everything you know, otherwise you, a little tax officer, will be crushed to death with just one finger."
After saying that, the woman stretched out her huge palm and turned it into her fingers. Her fingers that were so huge that they could almost penetrate the sky were pressed down in front of Tom. He felt that he was about to be crushed to death!
At this point, how could he not know that the masked woman with a hot figure in front of him was a master, and he begged for mercy and said, "Sir, please spare me, I will say everything!"
Everything returned to normal. Tom was sweating all over and leaned on his chair. When he saw the soldiers' gaze, he hurriedly said, "I saw them here at noon the day before yesterday, with more than a dozen guards from two women. They set out to the battlefield ruins of the Hurdo Pass yesterday, and then they had to cross the mountain pass. I knew that there was only so much."
The soldier said to the masked woman: "Sir, we are more than a day away. Now we can catch up overnight. Tomorrow we can block them in the valley. There is only one road there, and we will never miss it. When they pass through the valley, we, as a private army, will not let us pass through the other end of the pass."
The woman stood up and said, "Let them gather and set out!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the two left, Tom was still scared, but he felt a sense of hatred after being humiliated.
That night, Tom tossed and turned on the bed, sometimes with Lily's angelic face, sometimes with the terrifying and oppressive feeling left by the masked woman.
Covering her vagina with sweat, Tom sat up and walked to the desk to get a pen to write:
On August 12, 1982, my subordinate met in Betio City, which may involve aristocratic relations, so he dared to report.
At noon on August 10, my subordinates met Miss Lily, a nobleman of the Principal of Castia, and his entourage Jacques and others. After taxing the city, they were allowed to enter the city. According to my subordinates, Miss Lily and her group came to travel to the New World. The next day they left the city north and were said to have gone to the Pass of Hurdo.
On August 12, about twenty retainers of the New World Lord Walton, led by a dark master, came to Betio City. He behaved erraticly and refused to pay taxes, claiming that he was chasing Miss Lily and his group. He left the city on the same day and chased the Pass of Hurdoo.
The subordinates believed that this matter involved the conflict between the lord of the New World and the imperial nobles, and it might even have intensified the conflict, so they reported it to them and hoped that the superiors would continue to investigate.
Tax Officer Tom
...
One and a half months later, in the imperial capital, in the small courtyard outside the east gate of the palace.
"Master Odoka, is there anything wrong?"
"Your Highness, there is a report from the New World. I feel quite confused. Because it involves that person, you said that as long as the news related to him is sent immediately, so..."
"Oh? Take it and see..."
"Hmm... Lily? Do you think this Lily from Musai Port would be his fiancee who died half a year ago?"
"I sent someone to check it out. If only the name Lily appears, it might be a duplicate name, but the name "Jacques" is said to be Lily's apprentice and disappeared after the explosion that day.
Because he also fought a lawsuit, Viscount Ginoa accused him of using the ‘Summoning of the Beast’ during the Mist Forest Challenge to kill his son and his team. The son of Viscount Bernande, who was in the same team as him, and the granddaughter of Lord Astori, both denied that he could not find it himself, and the lawsuit was deadlocked."
"'Summoning the Beast'? He is a superman of the Chaos System? It's really rare..."
"Wait, Odoka, if, I mean if, what skills can save that person's fiancée in the case of that big explosion at that time. I think it's just a Chaos system that everyone doesn't understand!
This news is blocked, but I want the intelligence points of the New World to pay attention to the information of these two people, especially those from Yamaguchi. I need to find out whether they are being caught up by Walton’s people, whether they are dead or alive. Give them a pseudonym, and I don’t want that person to know our actions.
I think this clue can be followed. If she could escape from that explosion, maybe the mere master of the Walton family would not do anything to her. If she was alive, she might have surprises!
I really want to see that person's expression! It is said that he was heartbroken because of his fiancee's death!"
