Dusk approached.
The sky gradually darkened.
Yi Lin extinguished the bonfire. The few of them closed their eyes and rested on the hillside, waiting in place.
The reason why he extinguished the bonfire was not because he was afraid that the bonfire would expose their location.
It was simply because everyone was full and wanted to save some wood.
Moreover, the red-haired man would never have thought that they were leisurely squatting a few kilometers away from Red-Haired City and happily having a picnic.
It had been a few hours since the explosion in Red-Haired City.
The commotion from the city gradually subsided.
Strangely, the red-haired man only ordered people to search inside the city and did not search outside.
It seemed that he also understood that with Irin's strength, there was no point in searching if he really ran outside the city. It was either a waste of manpower and resources or a suicide mission. If Irin dared to stay in the city, the red-haired man was confident that he could kill another wave of people.
After all, he was a veteran ranked 58th in the world. He was very confident in his strength.
It wasn't until the sparse stars appeared in the night sky that Yi Lin, who was reading with her head lowered, suddenly looked up.
"He's here."
He closed the book and patted Cyberras beside him. "Come, open your eyes and take a look."
Cyberras was not unhappy that Irin used her as an "eye." She obediently pulled up her eye mask and looked in the direction Irin pointed at — where Red-Haired City was. After a while, Cyberras was surprised. "The red-haired man really left the city."
"How did you know?"
Griffin stared at Irin. He could not understand how Irin knew that the red-haired man knew how to track Circia.
Irin ignored the short-legged Griffin.
Instead, he looked at Cyberras' green artificial magic eye and smiled. "Would you believe me if I said it was a guess?"
"…"
Cyberras was silent.
A few seconds later, Cyberras slowly shook her head in disbelief.
"Actually, most things are not purely coincidences, and there are no gratuitous guesses. Instead, it's an 'inevitability' formed by countless clues. Actually, the reason is too simple, and I'm too lazy to explain it. Let's go and secretly follow them. "
Irin gestured for Miriam and Gu Tianqing to rise.
In the distance.
Led by the red-haired man, there were hundreds of soldiers in black night suits. They all rode on modified off-road motorcycles and drove out of the city.
Under the moonlight, the red curly hair was so dazzling that Irin could vaguely distinguish the red light in the darkness even without Seiboras's artificial magic eye.
"You should wear a hat."
As for the color of the hat and the length of your hair, you have the final say.
Irin called out to the red-haired man from afar and sneered. He waved his hand and summoned the Nightingale.
Gu Tianqing lowered his head and took out the skateboard. Actually, he had felt that something was wrong from the beginning.
After Irin came out of the Clock Tower, she acted strangely.
When he took out the Jet Skateboard, he could not help but send a private message to Irin.
Irin's chest shook a few times.
Gu Tianqing sent a private message.
Yi Lin took a quick peek at the message but didn't reply.
However …
At an angle where Seiboras and Griffin could not see, Irin took advantage of the moment when he turned over to get on the skateboard to make eye contact with Gu Tianqing and raised an index finger to his mouth.
"Shh." "Shh."
…
…
Yi Lin didn't have good foresight either.
He was human.
What he didn't expect was that this chase would turn into a long journey.
The red-haired man led a group of men to a train station in the German Republic.
They stepped directly on the train … and it drove away.
"Woo woo woo —"
Irin and the others followed behind the red-haired man all the way. They watched the train roar and gallop away with dumbfounded expressions.
"What should we do?"
Miriam stared.
At that time, she wanted to cut the railway in half with her sword.
"What should we do? Let's go and chase. "
Irin sighed.
Along the railway, Irin and the others rode their respective mounts and walked in the wilderness.
They crossed mountains and rivers.
They passed by rivers.
They swam in the Mediterranean Sea.
They chased and played among the human-faced stone statues.
They had picnics in the jungle.
The red-haired man and the others walked and stopped, changing trains a few times along the way.
Finally …
In the Turkish Empire, Irin and the others ate and slept in the wild for half a month before they finally caught up with the red-haired man.
A whole half a month!
Irin regretted it.
Who knew how he had endured the past half a month!
When he was in Haiting City, he had been cooking for Xue 'er's food every day until his scalp went numb.
Now …
Irin looked at Miriam, who was engrossed in eating with her head lowered and the hair on her forehead curled. He felt that he had suffered a great loss on this cross-region trip.
On the way, Gu Tianqing actually wanted to find an excuse to escape.
The reason he used was very simple and irrefutable.
"My temporary pass is almost used up, so …"
But at that time, Gu Tianqing had not finished his sentence.
Miriam gave Gu Tianqing a card in a friendly manner and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. Don't worry, I still have the pass."
Irin would probably never forget it in his life. The fake smile on Gu Tianqing's face that would never change froze for a moment. With great difficulty, reluctance, and helplessness, he finally managed to force a smile on his face. With trembling hands, he received the Epic-tier item.
Irin guessed that Gu Tianqing was very happy at that time.
Turkey. The flames of war spread and withered everywhere.
This was a country that had completely collapsed and had completely fallen into the chaos of war.
The apostles' rampage could be seen everywhere in this country.
During this journey, after a series of run-ins, the people from different places had become more familiar with each other.
Time and experience could change many things.
At the very least, Griffin, who had been looking at Cyberras with a straight face all day, could now communicate with Cyberras normally to a certain extent.
"The red-haired man killed many people."
Ten minutes ago.
The red-haired man rushed into a small town. In only ten minutes, he walked out covered in blood.
Cyberras covered his eyes again and turned to report to Irin.
"I saw it. He must have held it in for a long time. Hmm? Why is there a tattoo on his back? "
Irin raised the binoculars. While Cyberras was using the artificial demon eye to look into the distance, Irin was also observing the small town in the distance. He did not dare to get too close to the red-haired man's team in case he was discovered.
In order to not rely too much on Cyberras' artificial demon eye, Irin saw a passerby holding the binoculars while crossing the European border. Irin saw injustice and snatched the binoculars. He did a good deed and gained some merit for himself.
Irin stared into the distance.
He did not blink.
After all, Cyberras' eyes were 'information' relayed by a third party.
More accurate information was never as good as seeing it with his own eyes.
At this moment.
A strange smoke surrounded the red-haired man.
A woman with short blonde hair and a scar on her face walked out of the smoke with a long pipe in her mouth.
When Irin saw this, his gaze froze. He held his breath and peeked.
Irin noticed that when the woman appeared, the red-haired man's arrogance seemed to weaken a little.
The red-haired man saluted the woman.
The red-haired man and the blonde woman were talking.
Their lips moved, and they spoke very quickly.
The woman's expression looked a little excited and agitated. Her face was flushed.
However, the smoke around her was thick and indistinct. Irin could not see her clearly.
If it was not for the fact that it was still daytime and it was very obvious even if he threw out the mother spirit, Irin would have thrown Bai Xiaoyi out as a scout.
Suddenly.
The blonde woman with a scar who was talking to the red-haired man paused in her smoking and frowned.
When Yi Lin saw this, he knew that something was wrong. He quickly averted his gaze and covered the artificial demon eye of Cyborus.
"Go! Back off! "
Irin's finger shook and hid a small crystal on a tree branch at the side. He quickly called for the others to leave this place.
Cyberras, Griffin, Miriam, and Gu Tianqing did not know what Irin meant by this.
But along the way, Irin seemed to have become the leader of the tour group. As long as he gave the order, the others would subconsciously listen to him and immediately escape as fast as they could.
Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. In just a minute, they ran a few kilometers away.
Irin ran the fastest.
He almost floated away, his feet not touching the ground.
A few minutes after Irin and the others left the peeping place.
A strange light appeared out of thin air from one of the small dots and then spread out.
Governor Bohr, wearing thick military boots and biting a long pipe, walked out of the smoke.
She frowned, surrounded by smoke, and looked around for a moment.
"Was it my imagination?"
Governor Bohr stood where he was, muttering to himself in a low voice. But other than this sentence, there was no other sound.
After a while.
She tapped the pipe beside her and retreated. Just like how she came, she disappeared into the smoke.
…
A few kilometers away.
Irin raised the communication crystal and put it to his ear.
"Was it my imagination?"
The woman's voice came through the communication crystal.
After a long time, there was no other sound.
"What a pity."
Irin put the crystal into his storage space.
The other party was also a cautious person. She did not talk to herself and reveal any more information.
Seeing Irin's expression relax, Griffin quickly asked what happened just now.
Irin took out a skewer of barbecued seafood from his storage space. It had the attribute of [Increase Seafood Body Fragrance] and stuffed it into Miriam's hand.
Miriam looked at it and felt uncomfortable.
This was her favorite food.
It was sprinkled with cumin, Ling Brand cuisine, and Irin's [Soul Cooking]. It was the best dish in the world.
As for [Increase Seafood Body Fragrance], Miriam did not care. It was fine as long as it did not stink.
As the proud Knight King, she should not care about such details.
As Miriam gnawed on the skewer, a pleasant smell began to waft from her body.
At first, Irin was also curious about what "Seafood Body Fragrance" meant.
Now he understood.
It was the smell of the sea.
It did not smell bad.
As Miriam ate, Irin described the woman's appearance in detail.
Short blonde hair, a scar on her face, military uniform, smoking.
These key points seemed to be very unique. Miriam, who was nibbling on the seafood skewers, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"It's her!"
"As expected, you know her?"
Irin knew that although Miriam was usually quiet, as the leader of the number one guild in the Tower of War, she should know a lot of information about powerful players.
Miriam nodded. As a glutton, she always answered Irin's questions without reserve and took the initiative to fill in the gaps.
"Five years ago …"
Miriam began to recount a piece of history that everyone knew about.
Five years ago, there was a "revolution" in the German Republic.
That revolution was known as the "Bloody August" in the history of that country.
It was said that the one who caused that revolution was a sixteen-year-old girl.
In one night, the entire country's top politicians, the Federal President, and members of the Senate all died tragically.
And that little girl, in one night, also conquered an army and turned that country into a democracy.
At the age of sixteen, she called herself the "Great Governor" and ruled the country.
What Miriam had said was all history that could be recorded.
But the details of that night were only known by that little girl.
After all, she was the only one who survived that revolution.
"Pol Sebastian."
In the end, Miriam elegantly took out a small silk handkerchief to wipe her mouth and said the woman's name.
Irin looked at the world ranking.
He did not find this person.
"Did she hide her name?"
In fact, the purpose of this ranking was mostly to see one's own ranking. Eighty percent of the people on the ranking hid their information. The higher the ranking, the more so. It seemed that everyone understood the principle of "a tall tree attracts the wind."
"You mean that the German Republic is now actually led by a twenty-one-year-old female apostle?"
"Yes."
Miriam nodded.
Irin sighed. "The world is distorted."
Although Great Governor Pol hid his information on the ranking.
But Red Hair's name was lit.
From Red Hair's attitude towards Great Governor Pol, Irin speculated that Great Governor Pol's ranking was very likely higher than Red Hair's.
And her mysterious method of appearing and disappearing seemed to be the type that specialized in stealth and assassination.
It was somewhat similar to the path of strengthening Irin in the past.
She was already an apostle five years ago, so her qualifications could be said to be "ancient."
To be able to become an apostle five years ago and live until now, it was hard to imagine how many cruel trials she had experienced.
"You mean, she was also there just now?"
Miriam finished eating and replenished a lot of energy, so her mind was much clearer.
Things were far more troublesome than she had imagined.
Irin lowered his head and glanced at Miriam.
He was very curious. If he retreated now and teleported back to his own territory, would Miriam raise her sword and charge into Haiting City again to seek an explanation?
Forget it.
Irin thought of Miriam's stubborn and unyielding personality and quickly dismissed the idea of sneaking away.
He understood the situation of the Clock Tower more and more.
If Irin was still alone, he could just find a random place to hide. It was guaranteed that Miriam would not be able to find him even if she searched until the end of time.
But Haiting City was different. It was a fixed base and could not be moved. This really made Miriam angry. She used a few big moves on the Great Engineer Tower. With the power of Miriam's sword that could easily pierce through subspace, the camouflage canopy of the Great Engineer Tower could not withstand a few stabs from Miriam.
"Damn the Church of Dawn."
Irin thought of the reason for all of this and gritted his teeth in hatred.
If it were not for the incident at the beginning, Irin would not have gotten involved in the Tower of War.
"We are too far away from the Clock Tower." Just as they were about to set off again, Cyberras found Irin and covered his left eye. He said softly, "My artificial magic eye's power has decreased."
"Is that so," Irin calmly winked at Cyberras and comforted him, "It's fine. It will get better."
