Chapter 105 Launching Project Pound 7
"Misfortune" is like a vulture hovering in the sky. Normally you can hardly feel their presence, but at certain moments in your life, when you fall down inadvertently, you will notice it falling to the ground ferociously, with sharp edges. The beak pecked it, and that was the last thing the eyes saw.
Thinking back on this morning a few days later, Victor admitted that he had indeed been warned of his doom. The first omen was when he went out and saw a crow quacking at him. Faced with such a bastard thing, he snapped his fingers and asked "Kathleen" to deal with it.
Then he noticed a big slug next to his feet. The boy went to the kitchen to get some salt and sprinkled it gently. Then the black cat meowed at him, and a small fish bought it. It was very easy to break the straps. Very happy, just in time to get a new one.
…
Two days after "Ya Yiwen's True Confession", while drinking Snake Pie Energy Soup while jogging in the morning, he bumped into Rose Knight Siegfried and passed by with a whole team of fully armed knights.
Approaching Victor, his expression was serious, "It's so great to meet you, come on! I need your help now. If you haven't forgotten what you promised me last time, it's now."
Of course, the boy had not forgotten that during the last Batman incident, when he came to ask for help and was rejected by him, he promised to help him if something happened again. And judging from the situation, this time it would definitely be a big trouble. He even took out his big shield and carried it with him. The crossbows were also cocked.
"What's going on?" Victor asked as he joined Siegfried's team without any hesitation.
"There was a robbery at a bank in the trade area. It was the Scoia'tael Party. They had dozens of hostages and were confronting the city guards."
The young man continued to ask without changing his expression: "Do you know who the leader is?"
"Of course it's that damn scumbag Yaiwen."
…
Although he had a premonition on the way here, when he rushed to the scene with Siegfried, Victor still had a speechless feeling. It was indeed the "Vivaldi Bank" surrounded by city guards.
Accompanying the Rose Knight for a brief inspection, all the sandbag roadblocks firmly blocked the entrance and exit. Mr. "Jessolo", who loves weed powder, was also on the scene to command a small team.
At the same time, all the known information was connected in his mind, from the Scoia'tael and the Salamander Gang doing business, to the guerrillas frequently changing their equipment recently, to the fact that Yaevin never paid any money for his commission, and to the dwarf banker Goran. Vivaldi.
It turned out that the facts had always been in front of me, but I didn't connect them and combined them into a "bank robbery involving supernatural powers and ghosts outside."
After the inspection, the young man roughly figured out the context, and heard the Rose Knight's curse: "Let's go! These damn scum really know how to choose the time, but they chose when the king is not around..."
"What should I say? It makes a difference if the king is not here?" He followed Siegfried's footsteps and headed to the "temporary headquarters" diagonally opposite the bank.
"The king goes" pull. Valedi Castle" participated in the banquet, and of course the blue-clad iron guards followed, as did Captain Jaques and Advisor Merigold.
Mayor Verelade and Princess Yada are now in charge of the city, and neither of them is willing to issue an order to attack the city and bear the responsibility for the death of the hostages. "
Hearing this, Victor saw a familiar figure, tied up and dragged into the door. It turned out to be the "Elf Scout" who had just been with him two days ago.
Then the boy heard someone calling him, "Wick!"
The person who stopped him was Angoulin. She ran and shouted: "I finally solved the mystery. I know what will happen. They want-"
Running closer, the excited Noru closed her mouth because she noticed the group leader's slight expression.
Victor looked at Siegfried apologetically, and the Rose Knight understood, nodded politely and smiled at Angouleme, then stepped back a few steps to let the two of them talk privately, and stood a little further away to wait.
The girl smiled gratefully at the Rose Knight, approached the young man and quietly put a piece of white paper into his hand, and whispered: "The Scoia'tael wants to rob the Vivaldi Bank."
Well, Victor lowered his head and glanced at the note. It contained almost everything he already knew, or what was happening.
Except for one thing, which no one else at the scene had noticed yet, the Scoia'tael sneaked into the city through the sewers - a wide passageway where vampire women once lived, opened by an unnamed witcher apprentice.
When cleaning up ghouls in the cemetery before, the apprentice knew that the sewers could lead to the outside of the city, but the intricate maze planning had hardly been explored in detail by humans. Only the Salamanders helped create a smuggling route.
So now the Scoia'tael took advantage of this psychological blind spot and went directly under the bank to create this big news in the most prosperous place in Vizima City.
After reading it, he silently stuffed the note into the herbal bag. The boy moved slightly closer to the girl, staring at the brown eyes with his blue eyes, and whispered: "They are having sex in full swing, Bond No. 7!"
Angouleme's pupils dilated slightly. He was just trying to solve the mystery. He wanted to take a look at the Vivaldi Bank mentioned in the letter, but he didn't expect that the matter had already begun, and as soon as he brought the news to the group leader, he was about to activate Pound. Plan 7.
The designated secret word "Pound No. 7", a special instruction in the most serious situation: "Leave Vizima immediately and go to the safe house in the satellite town west of the city. If the leader does not come to meet you after dark, follow the designated route to 'Wellen' "Lindenville" in the area, wait for ten days locally. If the leader is still missing, cross the border and go to the Lame Series Hotel in "Novigrad" to wait."
When making the plan, Wick said categorically that although he had never been to the "Northern Pearl", there must be a lame series of hotels. At that time, he laughed at the captain for talking nonsense again, and this setting was useless no matter how he thought about it.
At this moment, there was no smile in his deep blue pupils.
She had seen incredible alchemy, and the boy had explained the scarcity of this craft, so although Angouleme did not believe the nonsense that he would be invincible, he did not doubt the possibility of an emergency.
The so-called "immediately" means "immediately" literally. Blinking his eyes, the team member hugged the captain and turned away.
At the same time, standing on the second floor, the director of the Intelligence Bureau, Taler, clearly saw the whole scene, from Victor and Siegfried approaching the command post, to him taking the paper from Angouleme, reading the note and putting it in the herbal bag, and then the girl left. The monocle of the King's Eye witnessed everything in detail.
He turned and told his men, "Take a few people to Victor's house to keep an eye on Angouleme. Don't let her out of our sight. Don't use force unless necessary."
Watching Angouleme go away, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. She came to ask what to eat tonight?" Victor said to the Rose Knight.
Siegfried smiled and said it was okay. The two walked into the temporary command post side by side.
...
In the command room, the mayor of Verelard sat at the top, and the eldest princess Yada sat next to him. Captain Vincent of the city guards, Lily Knight Roderick, and the director of the intelligence bureau, Taler, who had just walked down the stairs, sat behind him.
The elf scout who had been seen a few minutes ago was tied up and kneeling on the ground. Observing from the side, Victor noticed that his eyes were red and swollen, and the hem of his clothes was stained with blood, but it was not his own.
The elf excitedly yelled a few dirty words to Princess Yada, and then was hit hard in the nose by Roderick and fell to the ground.
He saw the witcher apprentice next to him.
Then he roared loudly: "Victor, I knew that your dog's monkey was unreliable. You betrayed us, didn't you!"
