Doomsday Code

Chapter 117 Suspicion

Outside Huidun City, Xiao Dun led the Royal Guards Knights and rushed back from Nanmu Forest.

When they entered the forest before, because the forest was densely covered with trees and was not conducive to cavalry combat, the war horses were kept in the military stations at the entrance and exit of the forest.

It was precisely this difference in distance that caused them to arrive at Huidun City later than Chen Cheng even though they had originally set out earlier.

When the group arrived outside Huidun City, they found Daha lying on the side of the road with his eyes closed and drooling.

As for Daha, they naturally knew that this was a magical beast mount that Chen Cheng had tamed.

To be honest, it was impossible not to feel envious, but they could only say that Chen Cheng was lucky to have encountered such a tamed monster.

A man of Xiao Dun's status rides the same warhorse as his subordinates instead of riding the majestic monsters. This does not mean that he shares the joys and sorrows with his subordinates.

And monsters are very difficult to tame.

The reason why Warcraft is called Warcraft instead of ferocious beasts or something is because these beasts have deep-rooted demonic roots. They have powerful bloodthirsty animal nature in their bodies, and this animal nature cannot be eliminated no matter what.

It is this animal nature that makes them impossible to be tamed.

Of course, this cannot be said to be absolute. Some magical beasts have intelligence, and then they swallow some rare treasures or come into contact with some strange power to suppress the animal nature in their bodies.

This kind of magical beast can be tamed and become a mount for humans.

The reason why Chen Cheng tamed Daha was probably because lotus stems grew in the place where he lived. The nourishment of the lotus stems' scent over the years soothed the beast nature in his heart, and then his own wisdom overwhelmed the beast nature.

"Boss, look, is that the boy's mount? It looks like he's going into the city."

The knight next to Xiao Dun pointed at Daha in the distance and said to Xiao Dun.

Xiao Dun just nodded lightly, and then asked his men to follow him into the city quickly. The most urgent task now was to find the guy who triggered the alarm.

He also wanted to show off in front of Huidun and let him see his decisiveness and bravery as a knight.

Hundreds of knights entered the city and then headed south along the city’s main road.

When they reached the intersection of the avenues, Xiao Dun felt inexplicably panicked.

Ever since he saw Daha outside the city, he always felt like his home had been robbed.

In the end, he ordered his men to block off South Street first. He had something else to do first and would arrive later.

Xiao Dun's subordinates naturally knew why their boss left, and they all looked at him with "I understand" eyes.

Seeing that they were being disrespectful, Xiao Dun pretended to scold them and then rode away towards the academy.

At this time, Moni, who was found and scolded by Lisa all the way, saw the knights running past, and his originally absent-minded expression immediately became energetic.

But Lisa curled her lips and said:

"It's really impressive to ride a horse in the city."

Then, seeing Moni's energetic look, he immediately became angry again.

It seemed that his expression was all fake during the sermon he just gave, and he didn't realize at all where he was wrong.

Du Jin, who had been silent all the time, tugged at Moni's clothes and asked him to be more careful and not let Lisa start nagging again.

Moni could ignore Lisa's preaching by daydreaming, but Dugin, who was following beside him, couldn't do that.

Moni didn't hear a word, but Du Jin felt like his head was about to explode.

He really didn't know whether this was a lecture to Captain Moni or torturing him, Durkin.

Moni stretched out his hand to interrupt Lisa's sermon, and then said:

"Then Captain Keelung is not able to retrieve the item in time. We have more important things to do now."

"You two go back first, and then give me a task. I want to find a wounded elf in Huidun City."

Moni's words left Lisa and the others a little confused, but seeing Moni's serious look, Lisa could only smack her lips and said with an unsatisfied look:

"Since you have something urgent to do, I'll let you go for now. But do you have any hints or anything about the elf-finding mission you mentioned?"

However, Moni gave him a look that said "you understand".

Lisa immediately stuck out her tongue and said cutely:

"I almost forgot. The characteristics of elves are so obvious that they don't even need characteristic prompts."

When Du Jin saw Lisa like this, he felt that his captain was really amazing. Even a violent girl like Lisa had to pretend to be cute and stupid in front of him.

Moni sighed, and then said:

"If there is a characteristic feature, it is that she has a slave collar around her neck."

Upon hearing this, Lisa and Dukin immediately became serious. Adventurers like them who live on the edge of a knife knew very well the meaning behind this sentence. It seemed that the Kingdom of Kormo was about to face a major earthquake.

"Go, find her and protect her."

After saying that, Moni quickly followed the direction of the Knights.

He knew that the Knights had returned to the city at this time because of that guy, and no matter how good his and the church's perception methods were, they could not compare to those of the military.

When the Knights came back, they headed towards South Street, which meant that my test was correct and that guy was on South Street.

And he had a vague feeling that the guy was in Baron William's mansion.

Because the elf's escape was too coincidental, and the slave collar on her body did not form an effective restraint.

When a slave is about to escape, the slave owner can immediately activate the slave collar, making the escaped slave feel what it means to live a life worse than death.

As the elf slave had such a special identity, Baron William should have activated the collar immediately, even at the risk of being discovered and angered by himself.

Because only myself and Sgert were there at the time.

He could easily find a way to bribe the two of them so that they would not leak the matter.

Rather than taking a greater risk and letting an elf escape.

Because once she escapes, she will be able to come into contact with more people, and more people will know about it.

By then, even if William had ten mouths, he would not be able to explain himself.

Even if he and I finally reached a cooperation agreement and spoke up for him, he would still have to lose a huge amount of family property to handle it.

However, the cost of bribing the two of them to shut up was still too high, and it also ruined the reputation of his William family among the people.

After Moni left William's mansion and got rid of his anger towards the slave traders who captured and sold elves, he had been worried about this.

Along the way, he felt that he had been blinded by anger and had been fooled by Baron William.

But he could find hundreds of explanations to comfort himself and convince himself that his judgment was correct.

But after seeing this group of royal guards, his words of comfort were completely useless.

He wanted to find out whether he had been fooled or not.

If it really is Baron William, then he will kill this scum even if he doesn't want the evidence in his hands.
