Vol 2 Chapter 3 (1/2)

Chapter 3

In any case, the Torah trying to pretend that he was surprised, and speak appropriately:

– So it’s here ?

Though acting skills and it was no different, a little thing was too tough for even him

They tried to depict travelers trying to go through the forest, accidentally attacked Feil and decided to go after the battle with his savior

– What? Over tiins to like more fuss, – he said a woman named Dominique, turned and smiled pleasantly

It looks like she did not understand that the Torah only acts out the role

– In urban areas, too many responsibilities They tire me

Before a detachment of the Torah and Dominic stood mansion

For the estate of the ruler, he seemed quite compact … or rather, even a little

Because of the ed to build themselves houses, similar rather to the fortress Moreover, many of them turned their city into the castle, and it appeared that the townspeople huddled between talls, defending their ruler

But not Dominic Skoda

Her estates were no exterior walls, moat, internal walls Her defenseless house just stood in thein the center of the forest

However, if you think about it … the mansion did not need protection

Himself played the role of the forest as the outer walls and moat And as you can tell froet to the un shunned even feil forest, you can see how strong the invisible protection of the place

“It hard to get, but it will be difficult to leave It is necessary to iht, looking at the dense forest around you …

– Brother, – asked him in a whisper Akari

Thor said that it is soer, and carefully looked

The figure running in front of the to flicker

Silver arical light gradually distorting its shape, causing bizarre sparkle in the air and go with the body of Doht attire

“So it’s … oon”

Thor had heard about it, but his eyes had never seen before

– Servants of me either I’m sorry, I can not provide you with a luxurious reception – Dominique said, personally I opened the door of thesquad Torah inside

But then she saw the duull continued to stand still, and the Torah is still supported gri, she asked with suspicion:

– What?

– We were just wondering – spoke in favor of the Torah

– Except for the location, is itunusual?

– No It’s not that …

– Duull, nodding

Do

– What? Ah … ah It is clear – Doood happened I’otten

Most likely, the “dressing up” for it was quite commonplace Akin to the removal of the cloak at the entrance to the house, and not a cause for pride

– Sorry to scare Due to the fact that I live alone … I soic – with a smile said Dominic

Inside the house it was cool, and no sign of life was observed Co suspecting people, he would have thought that the abandoned house It seems that Dominica has not lied when she said she had no servants, and that she lives here alone

– We are very grateful to you for what you are not only saved us, but was allowed to stay, – said the Torah as much as possible polite

“And yet … how to attack it?” – He thought with horror

Maybe Dominica were “the remains”

So, could it be that the detachht with her to pick theoons almost indestructibility, attack, ideally, should be sudden They need to attack her when she does not expect it, and overcome, before it starts to defend himself Ideally, they had to attack her even before she’d learned of their existence

But nohen they met her face to face, the options remain a bit of unexpected attacks

“Maybe we need to play to its weaknesses? ”

Ambush could be very different Under sudden attack is not only an attack at an unexpected moical They could try to ingratiate himself to Dominica and then suddenly kill her

Saboteurs are not considered such tactics dishonest or despicable

Their strength lay in the fact that they illing to drop all his pride for the sake of achieving the goal

– The Torah, the Torah – suddenly pulled his sleeve just in thatin head variants attacks

It was a seagull

– Luck Quiet sleep – she said with a cheerful view

But the Torah back slightly (to not notice Doirl:

– Listen …

– M?

– I do not understand, how can you enjoy so lightly Do you reetting Do to sound as quietly as possible

– M …?

– I mean that this rider can be the remains! You understand that we have no way to attack her on the sly? What we ended up in the lair of the enemy?

– About … – his right fist on the left hand, nodded Seagull – Meet

– Ad at her carelessness

In fact, he understood why the Seagull after so many days of forced march happy opportunity to sleep in a normal room Due to the sudden appearance of Gillette squad they failed to carry out any of the previous night in the hotel of the city

– But the Torah

– What?

– Negotiations Possible You said

– And … – I dropped the Torah

By the way, yes He said it himself that violence to the case may not come to that

Perhaps the Torah is caught up in thoughts about how it “defeat such a powerful enemy” after Dominic was able to disperse the flock ortrosov without even touching his aroal by anyother than battle, then row

– “Adull

– Why do you get to speak fluently only such things ?!

– It hurts, it hurts, it can not insult! – Seagull cried when the Torah began to screw her fist into her crown

– Indeed, brother – suddenly put Akari – Make fun of you and tolerate your abuse is allowed only to me

– Are you talking about?

– You forgot about er – Akari said with indifference

Apparently, she was angry at him, but because of her inability to show e was very difficult

– This is the supreme huy and compensation

– I do not understand your pride And yet for an apology and compensation?

– More specifically, you have to whisper to me, “I was such a fool, Akari, you’reelse” – and then we’ll have to thoroughly cuddle, cuddle and tickle

Perhaps she uttered these words seriously, but because of what they said in a tone that see textbook, it sounded horrible phrase

– It does not pull any apology or co at her sister narrowed eyes

And then, as if in response to the whole conversation …

– By the way … who are you? – I asked them to Dominica

– …

Troop Torah exchanged glances

– You do not look like the merchants … In any case, traders are so deep in the woods do not wander

Due to the fact that thewith Dominika turned a sudden, they have not had time to discuss their “justification”, which was supposed to explain their appearance Rather, the path of the Torah had to come up with a few options, but it was not possible to tell about theull

“What should we do?”

No excuses not to do – random person would not have been in the depths of the forest, of the danger which knew all the locals Excuses in the spirit of “well, we just passed by,” or “we lost” would hardly have acted on it To explain the presence of weapons is easy –them with him for self-defense, so it should not have to worry about, but …

– You know … – suddenly turned to Dominica Akari

Catching on his own, as always serious, face goggle Thor, she quietly continued:

– We are with him – brother and sister

– … Well, this I already knew

Given the fact that when the Torah named Akari “brother”, she did not even try to speak more quietly, this part of the story, and it could be deleted

But then, Akari …

– And it was necessary to happen that we, summary brother and sister, had fallen into the abyss of forbidden love

… Said these crazy words from the most serious type

– Hey ?!

Coed brother Akari same tone continued:

– But though our cherished love does not approve of any family or relatives, they were unable to put out the flame She blushed even moreEven hotter, more tender

Akari It was s on the board On the face of it still lacked emotion

An unexpected story about the “forbidden love of brother and sister” ull, but Akari all went on to say:

– We were so desperate that even coether to commit suicide, but instead decided to co to fend off pursuers of our faardless of the danger

– Wow …

Dominic stopped

Before that she was talking to them over his shoulder, now he turned to face them

Her eyes looked as if she was trying to see through them

“What the hell are you to her incantations, an idiot ?!” – said Toru Akari, trying not to move his lips

“Sounded convincing,” – said Akari

It seems that for some reason she sincerely proud of her story

“Lovers fleeing froerous to wander in the woods”

“Why is that?! And in general, how you ive ?! “

“This is actually a fragment of a love story, which I write in my spare time”

“What time?!”

Thor had no idea what Akari so fond of

“I’ve hly think about 30 volumes”

“How h We will now accurately suspect! “

Not only is it was hard to aainst, the situation would be even more unfavorable Torah has already started to come up with a justification in the style of “I’ination”, when suddenly …

– Clear All clear – Doly

– … Eh? – Toru stood with bulging eyes

In response Dominica several times nodded sympathetically and then continued:

– It is hard to you, probably, had …

– No We…

– Never worry about anything I’m not a prude and do not intend to interfere with your love

Despite all the concerns Torah, Doht into crazy story Akari

She just did not doubt it for a second – she even began to talk as if he was trying to cheer them up

– You can hide here, until your pursuers will not lose track of

– Oh good Thank you, – said the Torah and bowed

Although Akari deliriu with her

But then …

– However, in that case … – Doull that the only one not yet entered the role, according to her astonished face – Who is this girl?

– And … you know … – Thor said with a half s Akari side

“And asiull?”

Seagull has become a serious problem

Despite the resistance of the Torah, he was ready to agree to enter into the role of his brother, who left his native village, family and relatives, and escaped with his beloved sister … but Seagull in the story did not fit Naturally, the explanation in the spirit “is also my sister” would have been here did not help

“Hmm Poor “- Akari frowned – “My story is only of frivolous scenes involving his brother and sister, for anybody other place there was not”

“Stupid in your history” – he snapped Torah barely noticeable movement of the lips, then turned to Dominica and said:

– I ask you to sign in our position It … also ran out of his house

Toru decided that in such a situation it would be better not to invent a lie tangled on the go, and tell the truth

And as much as possible to limit ourselves to the most important pieces of this truth

– We were lucky to ether

– Clear … – Doull and its precious casket, and then nodded – We all have secrets … and often it is difficult for theer

– We are very grateful to you for your understanding, – said the Torah and bowed

Even without further questioning, it was clear that the girl, walked around with a coffin on his back, an extraordinary story It see situation, which is not easy, and e to say out loud Perhaps it helped and what Akari told her blank for his iination

Whatever it was … it seems that as soon as they could only play performance “in love with each other and ran away from home brother and sister, plus one person”

“Brother” – a surprisingly firm voice said Akari

“What else?”

“What I said is called a statement of fact”

“Yes, leavethat he could not shout louder

On board thetowards Ratisuna, there were 6 people

On paper knight Alberic Gillette was the coave hiht to decide on their o the squad will perform the tasks What kind of tactics he chose to perform the job – it did not matter All the other members of his unit had to listen to his orders without question

However, Alberic did not want his men depended on individual decisions

Of course, there were tiive direct orders to force soy together with other operatives in the s, which were collected each tied dra and inexperienced, and therefore preferred to listen to the views of its versatile heterogeneous group

Initially, because of this policy Alberico had to endure accusations of “lack of leadershi+p” (led critics Vivi), but now the dissent in his squad already left

– So … – I handed the deputy co at the round table the documents

He still has not recovered froo in a battle with the saboteur His e, because of which seeer

– What do we have this time different?

The detach order (clockwise): Alberic, Vivi, Zita, Nicholas and Leonardo Mattheas driving to “April” did not stand still, but everyone could hear and participate in theitself

– As usual, a lot of uncertain – Alberic said – Our task – to grab a forgotten legacy of the daull Gas, as well as to find the re to collect But…

Alberic have to lay on the table the docuency, “Kliman”

– About Seagull Gas is almost no information

If we compare it with the day when Alberic detachrown steadily … but almost all of the new materials described the capture of the self-styled Gulls and on this they knew about as much as before

– But why do these false Gulls so much?

– Good question … – I handed Alberic

– Yeah I was about it, and thought – Nikolai nodded with understanding

Indeed, in a sense, to introduce Chaika Gas, talk about plans for the revival of the empire and ask for money – nice template for a scam The very existence of such impostors are not surprised But there were too ull Gas Alberic squad caught two daughters self-proclaimed Emperor of the damned

Simple crooks ant to earn money, should not love this name

Introducing Chaika gas so dangerous, it was not worth the benefits

– May play a role is the lack of infornificent wavy hair

Despite the fact that outwardly she looked like a well-bred girl notable by profession Vivi was assassin She never talked about her life before the squad was in Gillette …

– I – Seagull Gas – suddenly she said, putting on his head knohere to get a ith silver hair

Then she folded her hands in front of him, as if in prayer, and continued:

– I do my best to restore the Eive me some money

– Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha!

– A-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Nicholas and Zita laughed, pointing at Vivi Leonardo and Alberic limited embarrassed smile

– Just kidding, just kidding – Vivi took off the wig and then ue out – Because no one even knohether it is a real character, dress up in her easy Take “srebrovlasuyu girl” and all – you can go to deceive people

Acting skills and the ability to wear a variety of outfits were necessary assassin skills Most likely, Vivi and the truth could easily deceive people by ias, if it wanted to

– It may be so, – Alberic said – But on the other hand … there are aulls and the people who do not pull on the scam, and one for whichhunt, one of them

– Is not that simple “characters” of thethe tears of laughter after re

– Yes, a them there are those who fit this description – Alberic said, raising his papers from the table

In fact, the first page was a list of the currently known “Gulls”

There were ht Most caught Gulls were only miserable fraud, which we just talked … but there were three other “Seagulls Gas”, which did not belong to him

These 3 have coht

Matheus was a eicians who could do the same with people … and they could extract from fallen under the control of people with any inforull” committed suicide for fear of exactly that

In any case, they were the secrets that they were going to protect even at the cost of his own life

Troop Alberic thought it was about revenge-seekers Empire

Actually, Alberic detachull” precisely in order to nip in the bud potential riots, insurrection and randoanized revanchists Although at first glance it ht win over the Nordic countries, ould have the strength to capture the sdom

And detachment Alberic understood that make it much easier, if the motion is a “symbol” and “jewels” in the form of the remains of the emperor

That’s just …

– Matheus

– Yes? – Matheus shuddered how suddenly turned to him

– You do so her … did you see that it is in contact at least with soe-seekers?

– No That did not happen, – Matheus said, scratching his beard

Alberic asked about his observations of the Chaika gas hich they are confronted in Delsorante In fact, they tracked down her only 3 days, but the squad Gillette has never had to watch the

– As I watched her, she always acted alone

– And then for some reason hired spies, – said Nikolay dully

According to the results of their investigation, after the gas was in the Seagull Delsorante, she went to the local guild and hired Torah and Akari, brother and sister, hose help attacked the house of Count Abarth Apparently, the young ht Nikolai, was thus the Torah

But … if it is really a “syly turned casually It is not clear how to “symbol” to leave a completely unattended and with complete freedom of action It must protect, for it must follow … in other words, next to her one way or another should be the people

– In short, she has no friends, on which it can rely on? Or rather, is not it?

– But if so – Alberic tapped the docuull Gas? Or…

– Do not fraud, not vindictive, and Seagull another faction? – Thoughtfully said Zita

– True or not – is not as important as it is, what its purpose is – Leonardo said – But … if it is true, then perhaps just going to bury the remains

– I will not deny such a possibility – Alberic said, reirl he had seen in Delsorante

She seeile

In herbig Of course, it could be a skillful winning back the role …

– But we oal Or … she e And if so, what those who use it for their own purposes, irl …

– …

– To implement their plans … Hmm? What are you silent?

On Alberic I did not look only Mateus, and it’s because watching the road Of course, he was the co surprising in the fact that they listened to him carefully when he spoke …

But at the same time these views are so

– Well How to say so, – Nikolay scratched his cheek – We have never to such a degree … not addicted pursued “Chaika”

– Is interested? M … htfully

He really felt that this Seagull Gas is not like the previous samozvanok

But … it was not all

– Vivi? – Alberic anxiously turned to his subordinates, who for so who recently wore – What happened?

– Nothing, – said sulkily Vivi, and then threw the wig

It is unlikely that she was ai flew in Mateus, and he gasped out loud – apparently, the needle pricked him

– You know, Mr Gillette …

– Vivi’s just jealous …

Nicholas and Zita tried to say so, but then …

– Shut up, – he said the girl suddenly-assassin, at some point, move them behind his back and put a needle in the head

– Got it Silent

– Good Silent

Nicholas and Zita had uttered these words with his hand raised, as if reading out the oath

– So I do not understand …

– It’s nothing, Mr Gillette You are always so – with a grin said Leonardo confusing Alberico

“Basis of e of the terrain,” – said in ACURE

Also, there were taught that the s But if you do not get lost and see what is happening on a sober look, you can find unexpected ways out of the situation

Reht the Torah decided to walk through the mansion and look around

Nothing unusual about it is not found in its structure

Many noble people built their houses on the principle of “closed outside open inside” It is in this house, and was Do looked like an inable wall, but inside was even a yard

– The estate is too ascetic, – whispered the Torah, voicing their impressions

Because before becoovernor, Dominique was a warrior, the lack of frills can understand … but her house did not have any decorations It would seem that a military man needs to place in the corridors of ar

Moreover, the house was not exactly a well-kept

It has accu the floor of the Torah leaves a trail Because of this feeling that he alking through the ruins, only intensified … like feeling deserted

– That even we, of course, pleased history – with a sigh whispered Torah, continuing to go down the hall

As he had already said Chaika, if it co “reoons, it is ie However, the Torah does not have any confidence in the fact that so to oppose rider on the dragoons

– I never thought I would have to fight against the rider …

Riders on the dragoons fundahts and warriors

If they can, and with someone to compare with is half-breeds

Evil tongues have described them as “people who have sold their souls and honor Fail” or simply as “included in the ranks of the s

Rider and dragoon e, the knight hion”

The saarded as “part of his body”, and the effect of it was coht

– Dragoon …

On Ferbiste existed creatures that relate to dragons, but they were not to fail All sorts of Wyvern and the Wyrent Soe lizards” Flock wyrms lived near ACURE and Thor knew them firsthand

But … Dragoons Dragoons were Feil

They knew ence … and because of that covered themselves with armor

More precisely, they have the ability to strengthen your skin, enhancing the protection of an order of nitude In other words, they were subservient transforic

They are not there just was not hurt

Even if they got a very deep wound, they could cure it immediately

And … exactly the same skills possessed and rider

Under the teric could act on the rider, even if it was at a considerable distance froon

In other words, the rider can neither disarm nor seriously hurt He could in no time to fully restore his armor, and even make it a neord, or spear In addition, they can heal all their wounds, with the exception of the most deadly – in the head or heart

That is why the riders so frightened even by themselves

But in practice, to all the above, it was necessary to add and power of the dragon

Large bodies of these creatures are able to easily lift into the air a cow or a horse, er in co, anything – could easily destroy a house or a breach in the wall

You should not have to think that if the dragoons did not have coic, it makes them weak

– That would have been some weak spot …

In fact, the Torah aloons

Not only that, they are not so much, each country considered their riders on the secret weapon of the dragoons and strictly followed to ensure that no information about it will not leak out Thor hi to the job saboteurs, he has never dragoons seen

Moreover, do these dragons were really elusive … and so often the case, they were placed in the same camp as the rider, but the rider even coins … Despite their size, they are still scared and the ability to act quickly

– If a large dragoons, you can try to force hi to the ground, ill bury under the rubble alive

“If it comes to the battle, Dominique Skoda need to lure deep into the mansion – so ill be able to protect the the door to the courtyard …

– …?!

And he saw that there was a young girl

Find in this irl was like that in the middle of the desert to find a flower meadow

In the courtyard stood forlornly rare flower beds, flohich have long given way to weeds Lovely, neat-looking girl stood silently beside the to fix his view landscape of the abandoned yard

– Who is this?– Whispered Torah worried voice

All this time he did not feel her presence

“Maybe it’s a friend Guy?”

Even when he looked straight at her, he al

In appearance she was about 15, about how Seagull Perhaps her junior year or two

She earing a pink dress and her long hair was tied with a red ornairl was very pretty, but it did not seeile, innocent young lady

– …Excuse me? – I tried to contact her Torah

But she did not answer
