Chapter 15 Mitchell
"Satisfied, if it weren't for the devil's invasion and Asa Constance's quick decision, the Constance's family might have been finished a hundred years ago." Chen Yan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. The more he knew, the more he would feel that this matter was boring... It made people not even burn some blood.
Even if most people pretend that everything is normal, a small number of people know what is going on, just like the hunting team that has been fighting these days. Shandi and Shen Yan were dressed in formal clothes and were preparing to cross the entire Western Front wall to go to the crematorium to attend the cremation funeral of their comrades.
Yes, there is also a crematorium here. The bronze fortress is too big to hold almost anything.
The two walked on the wall and found that yesterday they were still military camps, but today they had become a chaotic market.
"I remember this is the Guards' garrison, they have just left for a day!"
In this spontaneous market, from carriages to commodity stores, some even lay a piece of cloth on the ground and started to put on goods to do business, and the things sold were all kinds of. Merchants were also purchasing various supplies, and they were always welcomed. From the tips of the demon's claws to weapons stolen from the military camp, there was nothing to be taken away.
When the soldiers exchanged money, they entered the several large colorful tents at the end of the market without signs, but everyone knew what was there.
"Isn't the back door of the fortress locked? Where did these people come in?"
This scene was too ridiculous. Chen Yan wanted to find out if there was any big wooden sign nearby that said "There is still xx day before the war."
"Through the bronze dwarves, they have their own passages. The dwarves know the fortress well, and the empire has almost no binding force on them. Now the dwarves refuse to cooperate with the empire... Legend has it that they have built a secret passage connecting both sides, but no one has found it."
"It seems that even the dwarves know not to be dragged into the water by the empire... no one cares about that?" Chen Yan pointed to a soldier who sold the bow and arrow to the hawker for money.
"Ah~ things have changed. Now everyone turns a blind eye. The war has been fought for a hundred years, and it has long been different from the past. Besides, there are aristocrats behind these businesses." There are countless exchanges of interests and compromises by sacrifice.
"Also, what's going on with those people below?" Chen Yan saw another group of "desergeants" taken back, with a number of about one thousand people. When he was caught, he saw the same number of "desergeants". At that time, Chen Yan thought it had been accumulated for a while. But now he saw another group of "desergeants" being captured, and the trick of "emperor pardon" continued to be staged in the square, and he knew that there must be something wrong with what he guessed.
"Actually, like them, they all went to the bronze fortress to make a fortune." Shandi pointed to the merchants in the market with a wry smile and said, "But those who were outside could not pay the entrance fee. Originally, the Empire also turned a blind eye to them, but they didn't expect that they would surround the soldiers who were left alone to grab equipment! So with stricter orders, they would send them to the front line."
Chen Yan shook his head.
The Constance family, whom I first knew, was an image of a legendary hero who was passionate and brave enough to die. However, as more and more information was learned, the privileged family, the gods family, the monopoly family... etc., made the name gradually less brilliant. After knowing the disputes surrounding the transactions, compromises, interests and other disputes surrounding the fortress, Chen Yan no longer felt anything. The name Constance had completely turned gray in his heart.

"You are indeed..." Seeing the tender buds rooted in Shen Yan's artery and stretching the branches of the skin that was rooted in Shen Yan's artery, Mitchell said half of the sentence excitedly, but it came to an abrupt end. However, this half of the sentence had already revealed enough information to Chen Yan. Mitchell was indeed related to Laurel!
I just don’t know if it was the Elf Guard he trained or the colleague of "Light of Order".
In the operation in which Yui Lai and a legendary wizard jointly assassinated the lady of Huancheng. Yui Lai forced the lady to use weapons twice in total: one was the killing demon arrow made by Yui Lai using an extremely evil method; the other was the "soul arrow" that grew on his wrist, watered with his blood, and grew into a "soul arrow" that was connected to the soul of the cultivater.
This shows the power of these two archery techniques... This is also an archery technique that Chen Yan has not mastered and even has no clue yet.
Moreover, Chen Yan learned from Yulei's memory that both of these can be called the unique archery techniques he invented. However, to a certain extent, "Soul Arrow" is Laurel's highest skill. He never specified what purpose this archery technique is used for. From another perspective, because "Soul Arrow" can be used for any purpose.
It’s just that materials for making these two types of arrows are hard to find. One requires powerful bones full of resentment, and the other requires seeds of the elf ancient tree. Chen Yan is not interested in the first type, but he is confused about the second type... The multiverse is so big, where do you ask me to find seeds of some kind of ancient tree?
Looking at Mitchell's excited eyes, Chen Yan quickly pointed to the cremation ceremony and signaled that it was inconvenient now. He found an opportunity to discuss in detail. In fact, he needed time to think about what to say. My death with Master Gui is enough... Wait! Gui was killed by the lady in Huancheng. Why am I guilty?
Panni: "Ahem~ Think about it again?"
"By the way, and Penny! You said I'll hand you over in a while, will it be fine?"
Penny: “…”
I miss the days I spent with a lady now. "The years are quiet and good" means "to live quietly to be better." Now I live with this person who wants to strangle to death as soon as I talk to, which is not good at all!
Mitchell nodded at him, put his hands in places where others could not see them, and cooperated left and right to make an extremely complicated set of sign language.
"At 7 o'clock in the evening...The Fourth Military Region...The second door on the left side of the entrance... See you. Receive it!" Chen Yan softly interpreted the meaning of those sign languages and subconsciously responded skillfully... After doing all this, he suddenly felt regretful, because the set method was invented by Yue Luo, a tactical sign language used by the demon archers he trained to communicate with each other.
Now it became increasingly difficult to explain... Just now he was like a possessed by Yui, subconsciously interpreting and giving a skillful answer.
"Okay, now think about how to make a mistake."
****
When night fell, Chen Yan quietly left the tent on the west front wall and sneaked towards the Fourth Military Region. He had to avoid several patrols along the way, but it was not difficult. All measures in the fortress were formulated against the demons.
"The first...the second door." Chen Yan found the location where Mitchell said.
Strangely, Mitchell was not waiting at the door at the agreed moment, which was a bit strange.
Chen Yan pressed his hand on the door and gently pushed it. The door of the room opened a few centimeters back... It was not locked? Well, it became more and more strange! I heard that the elves are in both directions... But thinking about their faces, Chen Yan has a little more confidence in the world.
It's impossible, haha~ He can even take action against such a face, so he can just face the wall!
Chen Yan finally convinced himself and walked in with the courage to go in. The room was pitch black and the elf could not see anything, but he didn't feel any danger. Instead, he had a... faint smell of powder.
"What's going on."
Just when Chen Yan wanted to turn around and leave, his arms suddenly hugged him from behind.
"Hold on your word, my dear."
ps: It's a little late, the third update.
