Chapter 1437: Murder

Leaving the platform of the temple and walking down the mountain path, Lucy discovered that the storm wrapping the holy mountain had disappeared at some point. Even the wind and sand in the imperial city stopped. Although the clouds in the distant sky were still red as if they were bleeding, the visibility was much clearer. Standing on the mountain road, you can have a panoramic view of most of the imperial city. Of course, Suraka, which has been turned into ruins, has no beauty to speak of.

Walking all the way back along the mountain road, after turning around the mountain road twice, a familiar figure came oncoming. Seeing this figure, Lucy was relieved. She quickly walked up to her and called out, "Annie, are you okay?"

Holding the mountain wall with one hand, Angeloni raised her head, with a smile on her face: "There are no missing arms or legs, so it should be fine."

Seeing that she could still joke, Lucy was relieved. However, Angeloni had another wound, a long knife wound on her back, and a black bullet hole on her right thigh, probably thanks to the pursuer. The two found a relatively spacious mountain path. Lucy bandaged her wound and asked casually, "Is the other party very powerful?"

"She's a pretty ruthless woman, but she's not as good as me." Angeloni grinned, but it was Lucy who was disinfecting and stitching up the knife wound on her back.

"Do you know their origins?"

"I asked, but my mouth was very stubborn. I had to break her neck and throw her down the mountain. Your Highness, these mercenaries are not simple. People like them usually don't betray their employers easily."

"Then we have to find another way."

Lucy finished the last work, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's go down the mountain quickly, we can leave Yongyexing."

"Oh?" Angeloni looked at the slate in Lucy's arms: "Is this what you're looking for?"

"Well, that's it." Lucy touched the slate and said, "I saw the pattern on this slate in the works of Master Gewa, but unfortunately it should be drawn by Master Gewa according to his own memory. The pattern may exist Deviation. The important thing is that the lines and patterns on this slate seem to be the cosmic star map of the nine star domains, and the method of dividing the star domains uses the component method of our Idahua star. So I am very curious, A slate that records the clues of the twilight of the universe, why is the star map component method of Idahua star used."

"Then now?"

Lucy patted the slate and said, "Of course I have to go back and study it carefully now. I think my father will lend me the necessary manpower?"

They returned to the foot of the mountain just as Ma Yin was preparing to go up the mountain with the remaining warriors. Seeing Lucy couldn't help being excited. Seeing Lucy get the slate of origin, Ma Yin nodded and said: "At last, this journey was not in vain. Unfortunately, the mercenary leader escaped in the end. His strength is not low, and with the help of wind and sand cover and depart,

I remembered His Highness, so I didn't go after him, otherwise I might be able to force the employer out of him. "

"It shouldn't be that easy." Lucy said: "Forget it, we'll investigate this matter when we go back. The most urgent thing is to bring back the Origin Slab, which may contain the secret to reversing the cosmic twilight."

"Then let's set off immediately."

In the space not far from Yong Ye Xing, an armed starship spewed sparks from the gaps in the armor plate from time to time, floating slowly. In the control room, Yilu sat down on the captain's big chair. Many wounds on his body had been treated, and he looked very embarrassed. Yiru looked around the control room, which was once crowded by his subordinates, but now it was embarrassingly empty. Before he set off, he never thought that only two of his men survived when he left. These two people were asked by him to stay in place to repair the starship before, otherwise they might not even exist.

"Bastard!" Yiru yelled, hitting the armrest with a heavy fist. The armrest was immediately deformed and twisted. This action involved multiple wounds on his body, and the captain was covered in blood for a while.

In the information provided by the employer, there is no expert like Ma Yin, which makes Yilu's judgment wrong. You must know that there is a strong man like Ma Yin, and Yiru will not take on such a task even if he is killed. He will never forget how terrifying it was for that man to show his true strength, and how vulnerable the combat skills he was so proud of were under that man's sword.

At this time, the starship received a communication request. After the crew connected, a projection appeared in front of Iru. At this time, it was naturally the mysterious employer who contacted him. The other party was still wearing a half-cloth. Yilu knew that it was some kind of information disguise. Most employers would take similar measures to keep their identities secret. In the past, Yilu didn't care. Now he is eager to know the identity of the other party.

It was this man who provided incomplete information, so that his mercenary group was killed and injured!

Yilu swooped in front of the holographic projection. The man on the other side of the projection seemed to be startled, and stepped back before saying, "Captain Yilu, I hope I can hear good news."

"Good news?" Yilu roared angrily, "Go to hell! Why didn't you tell me that there is a ruler in the target's team! Ruler, how can I deal with a powerhouse of this level? It's special, I'm afraid even I can't escape. Now, almost all of my men are dead, just because you concealed the truth!"

The employer sneered: "Don't blame me for your incompetence. I don't know how strange it is. There are changes in the mission. How to deal with it is not the contingency that every team leader should have? You failed, and you can only say Your ability is too weak, that's all!"

Yilu smiled angrily: "Then, just treat me as incompetent. Now, when are you going to pay the entrusted balance?"

"What? Did I hear you right, you failed in the mission, and you still want to ask me to get paid?" The employer laughed out loud.

Yilu narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean, are you blind? I have killed so many people for your mission, are you going to say that the mission failed?"

"Don't force me, this time you are dealing with an imperial daughter. Think about what will happen if I provide her with your information?"

The employer sneered: "You dare to threaten me? I knew that you Nirms had no credibility at all. Fortunately, I made some necessary arrangements."

"Arrangement?" Yiru's eyebrows twitched.

The alarm suddenly sounded in the control room, and a crew member shouted: "No, Captain. Our starship is locked."

"What do you want?" Iru shouted.

The employer spread his hands and said: "It's not obvious, it's a murder. Anyway, your people are almost dead, so why don't people find me? So, goodbye Yilu captain."

When he raised his hand to wave goodbye, the starship shook violently, a light beam as thick as a bucket hit the tail of the starship, and the starship exploded inch by inch. The control room was quickly flooded by flames, and Iru was also flooded at the same time. His face was full of anger, but he couldn't change this fact.

Intense brilliance exploded in space, and the armed starship was blasted into pieces, and the flying debris and flames were like a rain of light. Looking at this scene, Marquis Rowan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's all right, even if they find me. But there is no proof, so what can I do?"

He laughed heartily.
