Chapter 91
Jasmine glanced at Yang Chen and Old Duke who was about to cast a spell, gritted her teeth, and suddenly turned around and slashed to the left.
The sword slashed through a terrifying robot that was entanglement with the little maid.
"Let's go!" Jasmine flickered, grabbed the little maid's wrist, broke open the tavern window and left.
Seeing the two leave, Yang Chen was a little unwilling, but he also knew in his heart that it was impossible to leave these two people behind this time.
At this time, he had already guessed that the elf girl who left might be the night elf who assassinated Heroda that Ciri told him before!
However, why would a dignified transcendent race go to such lengths to assassinate a mere baron? Yang Chen was a little puzzled......
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving your life!"
Just when Yang Chen was puzzled, Old Duke bowed and said.
Yang Chen turned around and glanced at Old Duke, this is also a person with secrets......
At the beginning, he charged others so much for treatment, but now he has taken a huge risk to fight the Night Elves.
Say he's a priest of light, but old Duke seems to be very greedy for money, and says he's not, and fights against the darkness.
For a while, Yang Chen also didn't understand what kind of person Old Duke was. I saw it twice, and Yang Chen was deeply impressed.
On the side, Old Duke couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Yang Chen didn't reply, and when he looked up, he found that this face seemed familiar......
"Have we met somewhere?" said Old Duke, a little confused.
Yang Chen came back to his senses at this time, looking at Old Duke's serious appearance, and wanted to laugh for a while.
"yes, we've met in Bluestar before......"
"Bluestar?" muttered Old Duke, struggling to search for his memory.
"Oooh, you are...... The warrior beside Brewer back then?" Old Duke finally remembered, and a smile appeared on his face, "Brewer should still be in the Feather Guard, right? Are you all right?"
Seeing that Old Duke mentioned Brewer, Yang Chen's face changed slightly, and the smile on his face was a little stiff, and at the end, he exhaled again and said, "Brewer, you have died in Blue Moon City!"
Old Duke was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face faded but quickly swelled up, and said, "That's ......."
It doesn't seem to take it to heart, and it seems to ...... It's like I've been numb after going through a lot.
"What about you, when did you leave Blue Star, and how did you fight with the Night Elves?" Yang Chen said.
"Oh, do you know a lot, you can tell the Night Elves?" Old Duke didn't say how he got here, and how he found the Night Elves, instead focusing on irrelevant places.
“...... I also listened to what others said......" Yang Chen said a little reservedly.
Old Duke listened, and said no more.
Yang Chen saw that Old Duke didn't talk, and he knew in his heart that he didn't want to say it.
"Old Duke, since you're the pastor of the Church of Light, can you tell me why the Night Elves assassinated a mere baron?"
Yang Chen changed the question and said.
"Assassinate the Baron?" Old Duke was visibly stunned, but then relieved, "...... And no wonder ......"
"What do you know?" Yang Chen guessed when he heard Duke Sr. say this, and guessed that he might know something he didn't know.
"Well......," said old Duke, after a moment of contemplation, "this is a complicated question, to be honest...... But I can tell you a little bit about ......."
After listening to Old Duke's story, Yang Chen probably understood why the shadow elf Jasmine went to such great lengths to assassinate a mere baron.
Since the ancient incident, the gods suddenly left the continent and abandoned their followers, and the divine magic that originally relied on the spiritual belief channel could not be used.
As a result, many sects gradually began to separate, and some believers, after begging for the gods to no avail, completely abandoned their beliefs, gave up their extraordinary powers, and became ordinary people.
There are also some believers who find that although the gods they believe in are no longer there, the guidance left by the gods in the end can still be guided by the doctrine and gradually approach the original power of the world occupied by the gods, thus triggering some of the power and casting the same magic spells as before!
And this part of the believers has also been divided into three parts over time, and a large part of them have completely abandoned their faith and religion in order to gain power, because they have found that as long as they make actions that are in line with the characteristics of the origin power, it is easy to lead the origin to advance to transcendence!
But these people are not the same as the Light Priest and the Dark Priest that Kerry said, the Light Priest and the Dark Priest are still a supernatural force of religion in the final analysis, following the teachings and guidelines of ancient things!
Belief in religion and belief in power is a two-part group, and there is another extreme part of existence, either because the gods have given up on themselves and hate the gods, or they are extreme fanatics, believing that as long as they make achievements in this world, then the gods will inevitably be moved and favor themselves again.
Undoubtedly, Jasmine is the latter, and she feels that as long as she causes great harm to the so-called light, the so-called order, then the gods she believes in will return!
The Night Elves were abandoned by the Goddess of Nature once in ancient times, and according to common sense, if they were abandoned again, Jasmine would have hated the Goddess of Darkness immensely...... But this is not the case.
At the beginning, the Dark Goddess did not abandon the Night Elves, but instead led most of the Shadow Elves to leave with her!
After Yang Chen heard Old Duke say this, he still felt that something was not quite right in his heart, if it was said that Jasmine assassinated Heroda to cause chaos and disrupt order, so as to pay tribute to the god of darkness.
Then, the damage caused by the assassination of Heroda is really limited, and it is not even as great as the chaos caused by the assassination of the city lord Loda......
If he were Jasmine, he would definitely not choose to make a move on Heroda, and if he did, he would not choose to do so when Ciri and the others were there!
After Yang Chen listened, the doubts in his heart were not only not solved, but became even more confused......
"Da Da Da ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound from the door, and Yang Chen guessed that it might be that Xili might have arrived with someone.
Sure enough, after a while, Ciri entered the tavern hall with a group of mid-level transcendents.
Look at the shards of steel all over the floor, and the fainting tavern guests...... Ciri only felt that there were big question marks in his mind......
Over here...... What's going on?
Naturally, Ciri looked at Yang Chen, his big eyes sparkling, as if asking what happened to Yang Chen just now.
Yang Chen walked to Ciri's side and explained what had happened in a whisper.
Ciri's brow furrowed as she listened, but then she stretched out her ......
In her opinion, the Night Elves' assassination of the Baron was not a big deal at all, on the contrary, the purpose of the Night Elves was more worthy of careful consideration!
Thinking of this, Ciri looked at Old Duke, although he always felt that the appearance of this Light Priest was very suspicious, but because there was no evidence, it was not good to offend the Light Church like this!
Don't look at the decline of the Church of Light, its power is far less powerful than it was in ancient times, but it is also a force that should not be underestimated.
"I don't know, can Pastor Duke come to the City Lord's Mansion as a guest?" Ciri could only say this, she didn't want to offend the Light Church easily, but the matter of the Night Elves was also very important, and many of the inside information was probably only known to the old enemy of the Light Church......
Not to mention, Old Duke himself is very suspicious, he has hidden his strength in Blue Star Town for many years, and this time he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles, and came to Cree City just to fight Jasmine?
There are many doubts in it, and Ciri does not dare to be careless.
Hearing Ciri say this, Old Duke didn't reply immediately, but turned his head to look at Yang Chen.
At this glance, Ciri also looked at Yang Chen with his gaze.
Yang Chen was stared at by two eyes, and he was confused for a while, what do you all think I do? Old Duke, you can decide your own business, what are you doing with me?
And Ciri, what do you mean by that look? I don't know why this thing is looking at me......
Xili is a high-level warrior, and Old Duke is also a half-step senior, although his gaze is unintentional with ordinary people at this time, and he does not deliberately release mental oppression at all, Yang Chen still feels very uncomfortable.
I could only nod silently to Old Duke, indicating that I could go.
Seeing Yang Chen nodding, Old Duke also nodded and agreed to go to the City Lord's Mansion with Ciri.
For a while, Ciri's eyes were a little weird when he looked at Yang Chen, and Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders, saying that he didn't know what old Duke was crazy about.
After a while, a group of people gathered in the City Lord's Mansion Chamber.
The assassination of Heroda was already a little eyebrow at this time, but the murderer had not yet been captured, and Jasmine's motive for the crime was not very clear, which made everyone a little worried.
Yang Chen and Old Duke are still relatively bland, the former is naturally not so anxious because he can't help much, and the latter is completely out of business.
Old Duke fought with Jasmine, the Night Elf, because the Church of Light and the dark forces were on different sides, and there was no other reason.
But Jasmine's assassination of Heroda was a matter for some nobles and Jasmine and the forces behind it, and had nothing to do with him.
The reason why I came here is because of the meaning of Yang Chen, the savior, and on the other hand, I am looking for strength to fight against Jasmine and the dark forces she represents.
Without access to valid information, people can only start to speculate on groundless grounds, but often they always fail to stand up and are quickly overturned by others.
As for Jasmine's motive for killing, a group of people couldn't figure out what she was doing this for.
Ciri always felt that Jasmine assassinated Heroda, there must be a deeper reason, since he couldn't find an outlet in Jasmine, he had to find a breakthrough in Heroda and the Solon family!
