Chapter 24 Courage
And not far away.
Renis, who was hiding in the corner on the other side of the corridor, couldn't help trembling slightly when she saw this scene.
An emotion called fear spread throughout the body.
She thought of the nightmare half a year ago. The two teams were fighting at close range in front of her eyes, blood and laughter. It was like a silent drama that was repeated in her mind.
Then he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.
But Renice still resisted the urge to scream at this time. She was smart enough to know that she couldn't make a little noise at this time, otherwise terrible things would happen.
The little brown-haired girl curled up and hid at the corner at the end of the corridor with her small body, covering her mouth with one hand, even breathing carefully, and her face flushed slightly from holding her breath.
And not far away.
Jumping into the castle from the stone window was a dark-haired man with a strange oil paint on his face.
He was tall and strong, standing like a mountain, he was also wearing thick leather armor, he was carrying a huge battle axe on his back, and he was wearing a tattered helmet with a pit on his head. Not very good smell.
He was the first member of the mercenary group to climb up from below. Although he was tall, he was surprisingly flexible.
Although the castle on Longshi Island is by the sea, it is built on the top of the mountain and is built on the mountain. Not far away is a volcano that emits white smoke all day long.
From this direction of the stone window, it is necessary to climb a very high and steep cliff, which is almost impossible for normal people to pass, and Viserys is locked in the house and has no idea of escaping, because he does not want to fall to his death.
For these reasons, there are not many guards on duty here, and tonight is also a special situation, and the guards are also attracted by the battle on the sea.
So this group of crazy mercenaries seized this opportunity and sneaked in.
And people who have been licking blood for life all year round are naturally extra cautious.
After the man jumped into the castle, his breathing was still a little heavy, and it seemed that the climb just now consumed a lot of his physical strength.
huh~
huh~
After heaving his chest and breathing heavily, the man with the battle axe turned his head left and right, carefully observed it, and listened for a while.
It was found that the surroundings were silent, nothing was abnormal, and they were not noticed by the guards.
Then he raised his hand to his lips, and whistled softly below.
The sound is very subtle, like the chirping of a bird.
The rope connected by the nails also moved again. The companions who had been waiting for a long time below heard the code and then climbed up one after another.
Then, under the terrified eyes of Renis, who was hiding on the other side, she saw a total of seven people crawling in through the stone window.
Everyone's dress is different, but most of them are very concealed. The dark leather armor is wrapped in tattered black cloth to hide the figure through the night, and the long sword on the waist is behind the back of the battle. Axe and longbow.
The seven-member mercenary team had a very clear division of labor, and even had specialized archers and shield players.
"Um?"
And at this time.
One of the men, who had his hair wrapped in a black turban and also had strange oil paint on his face, found the puppet that Renice had just dropped on the ground.
Then he bent down and picked it up from the face.
"Hello, Langdon."
The man was the leader of this mercenary group. At this moment, he held Renice's puppet, weighed it slightly, then looked at the big man who came up at the beginning, and asked.
"This looks like a toy of a noble lady. Are you sure you didn't see anything when you came up?"
They received a heavy commission this time, so naturally they have to go all out.
At the same time, they also understand how difficult this commission is, and if they are inadvertently, they will all have to explain it here.
Of course, once the payment is completed, it will be very amazing, and the final payment will even be enough for them to buy a castle and become a nobleman, or buy a dozen ships to become legal benefactors.
And this time the commission is nominally a businessman from the valley, and I don't know what channel to contact them.
However, they would not believe a word of the other party's rhetoric. How could a little-known businessman in the valley want to spend such a big price to take the lives of Targaryen's remnants?
You must know that when they first said this amazing number, they almost couldn't believe their ears, thinking that the other party was a liar.
However, until the 'businessman' from the valley readily took out a bag of golden golden dragons as a deposit, and told them that the remaining balance would be collected after they completed the task and carried the heads of Layla and Viserys, The mercenary group really believed it.
Afterwards, the mercenary group conducted various tests to understand that the real master behind the money was from the Iron Throne of Westeros. The king, who had just sat on it and had not yet had a hot buttock, wanted to completely eradicate the weeds, leaving nothing behind. any aftermath.
And there seems to be a faint hint of Lannister in it.
Duke Tywin may have directly sponsored Robert I's huge sum of money in order to show his loyalty to the Iron Throne, allowing him to kill the remnants of Targaryen.
Hearing the leader's words, the big man named Langdon frowned slightly and looked at the dirty puppet in the other's hand.
He really didn't notice such a small thing falling on the ground just now. After all, he was too tall, and his attention was all on the guards that might appear, and he didn't look at the ground at all.
"No."
The big man with the tomahawk on his back shook his head and denied it decisively.
This is not his deliberate quibble. When he just came up, no one really saw anyone, not even a noble lady.
"What's more, it looks like the place where the servants live. How could the young lady appear here?"
"Maybe it fell here by accident."
The guards would not protect servants who were inferior to their status, so they chose to use this as a breakthrough to break through the castle.
After all, they are professional people doing professional things. Their profession is to use people's money and money to eliminate disasters. They can kill and kidnap as long as they give money. They have outstanding business ability, otherwise they would not be selected by King Robert's messenger.
"Is it?"
Hearing his companion's words, the leader's brows slightly stretched, and then he nodded, not taking this matter too seriously.
He just asked casually.
And at this time.

A small sound suddenly came from the corner of the corridor not far away.
