Chapter 691: Wren
Leaving the teahouse, I went back to the small hotel, and lay on the bed, thinking about today's itinerary and conversation. (8) (1) Ξ γΞγChinese Ξ Netβ‘.*81.
It was not unusual for Rodney to escape from the confinement chamber, after all, with the help of a powerful elder like Master Hall.
But then again, the current Master Hall has deviated from the title of 'high authority', and 'high position' can be said to be reasonable for the time being, but 'weight' has been stripped away by the city lord of Eri City.
At the moment, all he could keep was the title of 'Elder of the Adventurer Base in Ari City', and the rest was almost all lost.
There's very little I can hope for in Master Hall's line, except for real-time changing intelligence and the study of the ghost talismans on my arms.
Rodney can't count on it, after all, a fallen prince sometimes doesn't even have as much status as a commoner.
Rodney's sister, Eva, must have accompanied her brother on the escape to Dasai City, but to be honest, I didn't expect her to play a role in the first place, after all, I still don't expect her to be good for a woman who throws a magic missile that can deviate from its trajectory and throw it at me......
As for Harold, the scale is already a large guild, and he has been established for so long, but he has also been interfered by external forces, and he can't even keep his foundation, which is a very embarrassing thing, either his ability is limited, or there is some ulterior secret in it, I hope it is not the latter.
Jin Siqi, I never thought that she and Su Tengbo were childhood sweethearts, no wonder she would interfere so much with my actions when we met before, so much dissatisfaction, which is also directly related to Su Tengbo.
I can't say, the previous assassination of me was instigated by Su Tengbo, because I sabotaged the second young master's plan to kidnap Princess Aurora, and he happened to be the person the second young master trusted the most.
In this way, everything makes sense.
I hope this woman won't be stupid enough to trouble me for a dead childhood friend in the future, after all, I'm as soft on women as I am for men.
Thinking of this, I had another puzzle, I asked Harold to help find out the reason for this matter, did Harold forget, or did he already find it but didn't want to tell me?
If it's the former, I can still forgive him, if it's the latter, I'll have to have a good fight with him, why hide it from me, and what kind of relationship is he with Su Tengbo, and even the second young master; Or rather, is there still a grit between Carter Horton, the real ruler of Arishi?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help frowning, and at the same time, I was secretly glad that I didn't reveal the secrets related to gunpowder.
Sighing, I said to myself, "It's better to leave this place of right and wrong earlier, hehehehe." β
However, as the night deepened, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so in desperation, I got up, put on my gear, and continued to wander the streets.
Walking and walking, I came to the door of the casino.
The doorman was still the same as before, and his memory was really good, he recognized me at a glance, and opened the door for me while nodding his head.
When I entered the casino, it was still noisy, and gamblers from all walks of life kept pressing, shouting, and insulting.
Wren, the boss, still kept his head down, fiddling with the gadgets in his hand as if he were the only one in the world.
The guys at the casino also got to know me very rarely, and within a few seconds of my entry, a comfortable chair was moved out and placed opposite the boss Wren.
I smiled and nodded, and then they dispersed and went about their own business.
I sat down and said to the boss, "Long time no see, Boss Wren." β
Wren let out a 'hmm' sound, slowly raised his head, his wrinkled face moved slightly, and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time." β
Only then did I see that there was a hideous wound on his face, extending from the corner of his mouth to his earlobe.
I nodded and said, "Do you have time to take a step to talk?" β
Wren sighed and said, "I have a lot of time, and I can talk at any time." β
As Wren entered the back kitchen and turned in, I was surprised to find that there was a more private room.
After entering the room and turning on the light, Wren carefully closed the door again, and after checking it, he said to me, "It's very secluded here, tell me, if you have something to ask me." β
I didn't ask a question directly, but pursed my mouth and said, "Remember that before I left, you didn't have a scar on your face." β
"Yes," he said, "I've never been hurt so badly." β
"From the first time I entered the casino, I knew that you were a very powerful adventurer," I pulled up a chair, sat down, and said, "That day, I killed a lot of people, and you were the only one present who did not waver in the slightest." β
"That's because I'm scared."
"Being frightened and not wavering are two different things" I said lightly: "You just don't waver, but you don't have the slightest fear, only people who have really experienced life and death will have such a reaction, so, I think, you are very powerful." β
Wren shook his head and said, "If it was really as powerful as you think, I wouldn't be so seriously injured." β
I also shook my head and said, "I don't think so, if you are so seriously injured, it can only mean that your opponent is more powerful than you, and if you can come back alive, there are two possibilities, first, your opponent deliberately let you go; Second, your opponent can't kill you directly, and seeing that your injuries are so serious, I think the second point is more likely. β
Wren raised his head and looked at me for a long time, and then he said in a deep voice: "Do you have any purpose for talking to me so much?" β
"The purpose is simple, I just want to know two things."
"Which two?"
"First, who hurt you; Second, why would he hurt you? I poured a cup of tea by myself, took out the dim sum from the snack box next to me, and ate it.
"You're really a kid who likes to ask questions," Wren stared at me and said word by word, "However, most children who like to ask questions won't end well." β
"I've been prepared," I continued, slowly placing the sword flat in front of me and gently stroking the blade, "And, perhaps, I'm the exception to those people." β
"It's still a very courageous child" Wren laughed, and suddenly, the whole person burst out, like a black shadow coming straight towards me, that explosive power, that degree, that oppression, not at all like what an old man should be!
Feeling the persecution of that moment, I trembled, my arm naturally stretched out, and the metal gauntlet blocked the way of the black shadow for the first time, and then, I heard a crisp sound of 'dang', and there was a huge impact in the palm of my hand, and my arm couldn't help but bend.
