Chapter 770
Chapter 770 – Chapter 760: Stolen [ First Watch ]
In the heavy rain, six people suddenly jumped out and pounced on the statue in front of the square.
In front of the statue was a group of ordinary soldiers wearing black raincoats. They stood at the feet of the statue like ghosts in the heavy rain. The figures of the six people flew through the rain and instantly pounced in front of the soldiers. Without making any noise, they killed the group of soldiers.
After getting rid of the guards, the six of them quickly rushed up to the altar and pushed the statue down.
The statue did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was held by the Fatty and tilted in the rainstorm.
The hunchbacked old man looked at the altar under the statue. Just as he thought, there was a deep, dark hole that led to the underground. The hidden loss he had suffered under the palace made him a little hesitant. However, he quickly dispelled this concern and took the lead to rush down.
At this moment, the streets were pouring with rain, and there were no pedestrians. The buildings near the square had also closed their doors and windows to prevent the rain from seeping into their homes.
However, in one of the hotel rooms, although the transparent glass windows were closed, the curtains were not closed. A white-haired old man, who looked to be in his seventies, sat by the window, holding a glass of red wine in his hand and quietly tasting it, his gaze was fixated on the storm outside. To be precise, it was fixated on the statue of the god in the storm.
When the statue of the god tilted, the old man’s trance-like thoughts suddenly froze and he woke up. He was stunned for a moment before he abruptly stood up from his chair. With his eyes wide open, he pushed open the window and stretched his head out to look, he completely ignored the rain that was pouring in from the outside. Very soon, he saw the fat man holding the statue, as well as the hunched old man and the others.
“Intruders? !”His pupils constricted, shocked, he hurriedly raised his foot and was about to jump out of the window, but he suddenly thought of something. He quickly withdrew his foot, turned around, and ran to the other side of the room. He moved too fast, he knocked over a bottle of expensive red wine that cost at least a thousand gold coins on the ground and ran to a small cage. In the cage was a pitch-black little mouse that looked no different from an ordinary mouse, however, he was not an ordinary mouse. If one were to look carefully, they would find that there was a ring-shaped outline in its ears. It was a sound-seeking mouse.
It was also one of the favorite pets of the dark cultists in the outer wall.
The old man tore open the cage and took out the sound-seeking mouse. He took out a small wooden cylinder from the bottom of a pen box and hung it on its chest. Then, he patted its fur and said anxiously, “Go quickly!”
The sound-seeking mouse regained its freedom and quickly ran away. In the blink of an eye, it jumped out from the crack of the door and disappeared.
After releasing the sound-seeking mouse, the old man took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the window. He casually took apart a pitch-black bundle of cloth hanging behind the chair. There was a pitch-black battle knife wrapped inside.
The battle knife was not wide. It looked like a sword, but it had an arc and a single blade. It had a competent temperament.
He held the saber, stepped on the window, and jumped down from the hotel that was more than ten stories high.
A couple on the fourth or fifth floor were making out by the window, leaving the curtains open. The man was about to kiss his girlfriend who had her eyes closed when he suddenly saw the figure falling from the window behind her. He immediately cried out in fear.
“Second brother, someone is coming!”Just as the graceful woman was about to jump down from the deep hole under the statue, her eyes suddenly moved. She turned her head and looked at the back of the square. A black shadow was approaching rapidly in the rainstorm, and its body was emitting an astonishing heat, it was not inferior to them in the slightest.
She narrowed her eyes and said, “I didn’t expect there to be an expert hiding here. I didn’t even notice it before.”
“Third sister, leave it to me. You Guard it!”A dense killing intent appeared in the eyes of the burly man. He pulled out his large saber and suddenly rushed out. The rain water surged on the back of the saber, reflecting a sparkling luster.
“I’ll go too,”said sixth brother, whose face had been destroyed. He quickly rushed over. He was worried that fourth brother alone would cause the battle to fall into a stalemate and cause too much commotion.
In the blink of an eye, the two went up to the old man.
The black knife in the old man’s hand melted when he rushed out and entered the demonic body state. His whole body was like a human-shaped lizard, but his body was like an insect. There were network-like structures on his muscle lines, which looked extremely strange.
Seeing this strange demonic body, the burly man recognized it at a glance. He growled, “It’s their legendary monster here, Shadow Hunter!”
“Kill!”Sixth Brother made up his mind. Without saying anything, he entered the demon body and pounced over.
With one against two, the old man was at a disadvantage in the blink of an eye. In fact, just dealing with one person was already difficult for him. After all, although his demon mark was a legendary demon mark, Shadow Hunter’s greatest strength was assassination, it was not a direct battle. However, the current situation made it impossible for him to assassinate. He could only jump out to pin them down. He could only hope to delay until the arrival of reinforcements.
“Go to hell! !”The old man’s claws were like knives. His originally amiable and ordinary face was filled with malevolence as he roared and pounced on the weaker sixth.
The torrential rain washed down like seawater, covering the figures of the three people.
In the palace, Ulita had a meeting with the generals and Earls. Although the things they discussed were of no value to her, she had no choice but to find a topic to keep these people. After all.., to the Witcher family and the Monster Research Institute, the loss of the God’s corpse was a devastating blow. They should not remain calm.
The pace of the meeting was very slow. The rainstorm outside made the generals and earls unwilling to end the meeting so early. After all, going out during the rainstorm, even if there was a carriage to pick them up, it was easy to get their boots dirty.
In this quiet meeting, after an unknown amount of time, a female official suddenly jogged in from the side hall. She went around the backs of the generals in the meeting room and came before Ulita. She turned to the side and handed her a small note.
Ulita saw the anxiety on her face, and her heart sank slightly. However, she remained calm on the surface. She glanced at the generals present. Some of the generals and earls who were looking at her saw her gaze and immediately looked away as if nothing had happened, she continued to chat with the people beside her, but her gaze inadvertently swept towards Urita.
Urita’s fingers were very nimble. She quickly unrolled the rolled up piece of paper. When she saw the words on the piece of paper, her eyes widened. She abruptly stood up from her chair. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief!
This huge commotion immediately caused the whispers in the meeting room to stop.
Everyone looked at her in shock.
Urita felt that her brain was a little short of oxygen and she felt dizzy. After a while, she finally regained her senses, she immediately shouted, “Gather everyone immediately and head to the altar. The intruders have returned. They want to steal the Sylvia God’s corpse under the statue! !”
“What? !”
“How, how is this possible!”
“Isn’t the god’s corpse already…”
The generals and counts present were all dumbfounded. They were so shocked that they did not know what to do.
Urita did not have the time to explain anything to them. She took the lead and rushed out of the royal family.
When the personal maid at the door saw Urita, she quickly came up to her. “Your Highness, it’s raining heavily outside. Please bring your umbrella…”she handed the umbrella over, but Urita did not even look at it. She rushed over like a flying bird, she even threw the scepter in her hand and the crown on her head to the side. She was drenched by the rain. She displayed an astonishing speed and rushed into the storm.
