Chapter 24: Courage
and not far away.
Reness, who was hiding on the other corner of the corridor, couldn't help but tremble slightly when she saw this scene.
An emotion called fear spread throughout the body.
She thought of the nightmare half a year ago. The two teams were fighting at close range in front of her eyes, blood and laughter, like a silent drama repeated in her mind.
Then he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.
But at this time, Reness still resisted the urge to scream. She was very smart knowing that she could not make a sound at this time, otherwise terrible things would happen.
The little brown-haired girl curled up her small body and hid in the corner at the end of the corridor, covering her mouth with one hand, even breathing carefully, her face flushed slightly from her suffocation.
and not far away.
The man who jumped into the castle from the stone window was a man with dark hair and weird paint on his face.
He is tall and sturdy, standing up like a big mountain, he is also wearing thick leather armor, a huge battle axe on his back, and a crooked head wore a tattered helmet sunken in a pit. Unpleasant smell.
He was the first member of the mercenary group to climb up from below. Although he was very tall, he was unexpectedly flexible.
Although the castle of Longshidao is by the sea, it is built on the top of the mountain, and it is built on the top of the mountain. Not far away is a volcano that smokes all day long.
From this direction of the stone window, it is necessary to climb a very high and steep cliff. Normal people have almost no way to pass, and Viselis is locked in the house and has no idea of escaping at all, because he does not want to fall to death.
Because of these reasons, there are not many guards on duty here, and tonight is also a special situation. The guards are also attracted by the battle on the sea.
So this group of crazy mercenaries seized this opportunity and sneaked in.
And people who lick blood on the knife for life all the year round are naturally extra cautious.
After the man jumped into the castle, his breathing was still a little heavy. It seemed that the climb just now consumed a lot of his physical strength.
Hu~
Hu~
After a few rough breaths in his chest, the man carrying the battle axe turned his head around, carefully observed it, and listened for a while.
realized that there was silence around, nothing was abnormal, they were not noticed by the guards.
then raised his hand to his lips, and whistle lightly towards the bottom.
The voice is very subtle, like a bird chirping.
And the rope connected by the nail claws also moved again, and the companion who had been waiting for a long time heard the signal, and then climbed up one after another.
Then, in the horrified gaze of Renice who was hiding on the other side, she saw a total of seven people crawling in from the stone window.
Everyone’s dress is different, but most of them are dressed very concealed. The dark leather armor is wrapped in tattered black cloth to hide the figure by the night, and the long sword straddling the waist is behind the back. The axe and the longbow.
The seven-person mercenary team has a very clear division of labor, and there are even dedicated archers and shield players.
"Um?"
And at this moment.
One of the men who came up with his hair wrapped in a black turban and his face was also painted with weird paint found the doll that had just fallen from Reness on the ground.
then bent over and picked it up from the face.
"Hey, Langdon."
The man is the leader of this mercenary group. At this moment, he held Renesse’s puppet, weighed it slightly, and then looked at the big man who came up first, and asked.
"This looks like a toy for a noble lady, were you sure you didn't see anything when you just came up?"
They received a heavy commission this time, so naturally they have to go all out.
At the same time, they also understand how difficult the commission is. If you are careless, you have to explain everything here, and if you have money, you can spend your life.
Of course, once the payment is completed, it is very amazing. The balance is even enough for them to buy a castle and become a noble master, or they can buy more than a dozen boats and become legal benefactors.
And this time the commission is nominally a businessman from the valley, and I don’t know how they were contacted.
But they would not believe a word of the other party's rhetoric. How could a businessman with little-known valley name want to spend such a high price to take the life of Targaryen's remnant?
You must know that when this amazing number was first said, it almost made them unable to believe their ears, thinking that the other party was a liar.
However, until the'merchant' from the valley happily took out a bag of golden dragons as a deposit, and told them that the rest of the balance would have to wait until they completed the task to pick up the heads of Layla and Viselis. The mercenary group really believed it.
Afterwards, the mercenary group conducted many trials to understand that the real master behind the money was the Iron Throne of Westeros, the king who had just sat on it and hadn’t been hot yet. Want to completely cut the grass and roots without leaving any future troubles.
And there seems to be a faint shadow of Lannister in it.
The Duke of Tywin may have directly sponsored Robert I’s huge sum of money in order to express his loyalty to the Iron Throne, allowing him to kill the remnants of Targaryen.
Hearing the leader's words, the big man named Langdon frowned slightly and looked at the dirty puppet in his hand.
He hadn't really noticed such a small thing falling on the ground just now. After all, he was too tall, and his attention was all on the guards who might appear, and he didn't even look at the ground.
"No."
The big man with his tomahawk on his face was painted with paint, shook his head and denied decisively.
This is not his deliberate sophistry. When he first came up, he really didn't see anyone, even an aristocratic lady.
"What's more, this is the place where the servants live, why did the young lady appear here?"
"Maybe you fell here accidentally."
The guards will not protect their identities as their servants, so they choose from here as a breakthrough to break through the castle.
After all, they are professional people who do professional things. Their profession is to use people's money to eliminate disasters. Killing and kidnapping can do anything as long as they are given money. They have outstanding professional ability, otherwise they would not be selected by King Robert's messenger.
"Is it?"
Hearing the words of his companion, the leader's brows stretched slightly, and then he nodded, not taking the matter too seriously.
He just asked casually.
And at this moment.
K—
A small noise suddenly came from the corner of the corridor not far away.
