People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1024 Eye of Iberia

The raindrops falling from the sky were so sparse that there was no need to hold an umbrella anymore.

Jody stood on the street in the town, looking at the figure in front of him who had half of his body stuck in the trash can, searching for something, with a conflicted look on his face.

"Xiaobai, does your pet like trash cans very much?" he asked tentatively.

"My pet won't, but what if I can find a beautiful gray-haired girl in the trash can?" Qi Yan straightened up from the trash can and shook his head regretfully, "It seems a pity that there is none here."

"How could such a thing be possible?"

Jody smiled bitterly.

He glanced around, helping Qi Yan find a pet while also being careful not to run into his uncle.

After all, Thiago repeatedly emphasized that he should not go out.

When he looked, he didn't see his pet, nor his uncle, but saw an unusual figure.

"Hide now!"

Before Qi Yan could react, Qiao Di grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into the alley.

The two of them hid deep in the alley, only to hear the sound of footsteps approaching from afar and then quickly fading away.

"what's the situation?"

"It's the Inquisition. They're searching the town."

Qiao Di warned seriously: "Neither you nor I can be discovered by them, otherwise we will be arrested and interrogated."

"Relax, I'm here!" Qi Yan patted his chest and assured, "Let's just focus on finding my little sea cat. I'll see who dares to touch us. Don't forget, I know some big shots!"

Jody smiled bitterly and said nothing.

For a moment he didn't know how to explain the horror of the Inquisition to this naive outsider.

As the two stopped talking, the alley became eerily quiet.

In the silence, the two heard a strange rustling sound at the same time.

The sound was like something sticky and soft rolling over the wall.

Qi Yan's eyes lit up.

"Is it your pet?" Jody's eyes widened in disbelief.

He couldn't imagine what kind of ghost thing could make such an uncomfortable sound.

"No, the little sea cat is cuter than it, but if you find it, you'll have a chance to find the little sea cat."

Qi Yan decisively chased in the direction where the sound came from.

Qiao Di gritted his teeth and chose to follow Qi Yan's pace.

The two men walked through the alley, climbed over a low fence filled with debris, and finally followed the sound to a closed window.

Before Qi Yan and Qiao Di could make any move, they heard voices of conversation coming from inside the house.

"Has the Inquisition gone mad? How many brothers and sisters were captured and slaughtered in just one night?"

"Calm down. It was the incident at the border that caused the Inquisition to panic. It was him. It must be him. This is a good thing for us."

"I don't know."

"The Inquisition clashed with him. The Inquisition is still stupid, arrogant and stupid. We don't even need to do anything to offend him. It will be enough for the Inquisition to pay a heavy price."

"Who exactly is he? Can you tell me more clearly?"

"...Exists of that level must be treated with caution even when addressed by name. We cannot participate in this. We just need to seize control of the Eye of Iberia before everyone else... or destroy it."

Jody's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly heard a familiar term.

The Eye of Iberia, the only remaining lighthouse after the Great Silence, the great building that involved countless lives and grudges, the site that made him an orphan, has now become the center of certain events again.

In a panic, Jody accidentally moved his body and bumped into a bamboo pole beside him.

The bamboo poles fell to the wet ground, making a crisp sound.

"Who?!"

A loud shout came from inside the window.

Qiao Di subconsciously wanted to pull Qi Yan away, but found that Qi Yan had already stood up and pushed open the closed window.

"it's me!"

Qi Yan put his hands on his hips, looking proud.

Jody: ???

Before he could react, the sound of fierce fighting was heard in the house again.

"What...what's going on?"

Jody stood up in astonishment and looked into the house.

He saw two bodies lying on the ground, with bright red blood continuously flowing out of the two twisted bodies that looked as if they had been run over by a huge wheel. Next to the bodies stood a burly man in black.

The man held a huge blood-stained anchor in one hand, and with the other hand he gently steadyed his wide-brimmed hat which had been tilted due to the attack.

"Murder... murder!" Jody's throat was dry. "You are not from the Inquisition, who are you?"

The man in black turned his head and glanced at Qiao Di and Qi Yan.

"Agor people, and... a Luper." The man in black threw the anchor over.

The huge anchor seemed to be weightless in the hands of the man in black. It flew up lightly, but it made a whistling sound as it broke through the air.

Jody didn't even have the ability to dodge. By the time he reacted to the black-clad man's attack, the anchor had already arrived in front of both of them.

But the expected pain did not occur, and the huge anchor hit the wall beside the two people accurately.

A viscerally uncomfortable sound of flesh being crushed echoed in Jody's ears. The wall collapsed, and he turned his head stiffly to see a strange creature with a hard shell and soft tentacles, like a snail, being crushed to death under the anchor.

Jody was cold all over and his hands and feet were almost numb from fear.

He realized that if this man wanted to kill him and Qi Yan, it would be as easy as crushing two ants.

"You are the last Argol of Granfalo. You are the descendant of Breogan." The man in black walked slowly towards them. "I didn't expect you to come here on your own. You saved me a lot of effort."

"B, what to brag about?" Jody obviously didn't understand.

Qi Yan looked back at Qiao Di and joked, "What a typical villain's statement. The first impression this person gives is that he is a super villain."

Jody: “…”

He didn't understand why Qi Yan was still in the mood to joke in the face of such a horrifying scene.

But Qi Yan's joke reminded him of another thing.

"Are you the one who caused the panic in the town and caused the Inquisition to come out in full force?" Jody looked at the man in black in shock.

The man in black was visibly startled.

He had no idea what Jody was talking about.

After thinking for a moment, the man in black seemed to have thought of something and nodded:

“I should be qualified.”

Jody gasped.

Even Qi Yan couldn't help but look amazed.

Look!

A perfect scapegoat!

Without waiting for Qi Yan to speak, the man in black said:

"Agor, you and your companions must come with me, otherwise the Terrorfish will kill you and the Inquisition will imprison you. You are the most important clue."

"But……"

"Okay, okay, it looks like we've saved our lives." Qi Yan raised his hand and put his arm around Qiao Di's shoulders, saying cheerfully, "It's a great thing that he doesn't want to kill us. We should obey him first and save our lives."

The man in black glanced at Qi Yan and seemed very satisfied with his cooperation.

Qi Yan smiled even more happily and began to introduce himself familiarly:

"My name is Jijing, this one is Liuming, what's yours?"

Qiao Di looked at Qi Yan in astonishment, and then suddenly reacted.

I don’t know how giving myself a fake name will help with the current situation, but at least it’s a sign of resistance and it provides some psychological comfort.

"Ulpian." The man in black said coldly.

He walked up to the two of them, raised his hand and easily lifted up the huge anchor, and with his other hand he picked up the corpse of the strange creature.

"Follow me, and don't try to play any tricks. I don't want to hurt my compatriots and his companions."

Ulpian walked out of the hole in the collapsed wall and strode ahead to lead the way.

Qi Yan pulled the frightened Qiao Di to follow and asked with a smile:

"Where are you taking us?"

"It will do you no good to inquire about the news randomly." Ulpian said without turning his head, "You just need to know that staying with me is the safest choice now."

After saying this, Ulpian felt a chill down his spine for no apparent reason.

He looked around vigilantly, but found nothing unusual.

The only people around him were his fellow countrymen with worried faces and Rupert who was smiling but not saying a word.

Ulpian:?

Why is Rupert laughing?
