Section 176 Repeating the mistakes of the past2

The conversation between the two men was calm and polite. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Basically, it was a little bit of a discussion about the possibility of the Flare Family's next move. But that's about it. After all, in this matter, the two sides are on the same side. But more topics, such as inviting Diemeng to stay and accept long-term employment or something, Hongyi didn't ask, and Diemeng didn't mention it, of course.

As a local army legion, inviting a high-level warlock to help for a long time is simply a waste of resources.

“…… The moment of balance has arrived," Redcoat said. "In this case, any aristocratic family would not want the loss of young people in the family. According to past statistics, it has been believed that at the moment of equilibrium, the chance of a Warlock will drop to 1 in 10 of the usual level. In this case, every warlock in the family is very valuable. ”

"The elderly are exceptional. Diemeng said. "If I'm not mistaken, Grumas has a mom. She snorted softly, "She's infertile, and with Grummas's relationship, she'll probably take action." She is a high-level warlock, and it is said that her strength is very good. If she takes action......"

Female warlocks usually look young, but this is really just "looking young", not in the true sense of the word. The curse of aging is present to anyone, and after a certain age, the functions of various organs begin to deteriorate, and warlocks are no exception. To put it mildly, the sorceress can only say that the aging of the skin is relatively slow, and the rest of the things are no different from ordinary people. Presbyopia is still presbyopia when it is time to have presbyopia, and cataracts are still present when it is time to have cataracts. Of course, menopause is also among them.

With Grumas's age, it's easy to guess that his mother must be past childbearing age.

"Hah," Hongyi smiled slightly, obviously unimpressed. "Grumas has a mother, but she's ...... at the moment Whether it is strength or qualifications, he should be one of the leaders of the Bright Sun family. How could she take a huge risk for the sake of a mere son?"

"I don't know much about the situation in the Flare family...... But if Grumas is her only son...... You know, motherhood and affection and things like that can't be measured intellectually. ”

"How can it be an only child...... His mother was a high-ranking warlock, not to mention that Grumas was just a son, a son without the ability to be a warlock. Red-clothed replied casually. "Ah, I'm sorry, you've been talking here for so long, and you're probably tired now, aren't you?

"That's it. Diemeng replied casually.

"I'll arrange a few comfortable beds for you. Redcoat said, noticing that the bookcase in the tent had been badly damaged by the Warlock's battle, and the books inside had fallen out. But the book itself is not damaged. Those were all books about the Floating Fortress (which Lu Wu had been learning about before). So he stepped forward and picked up the books that had fallen to the ground one by one.

Even if it was red, there was no way to notice the change in Butterfly Dream. When he turned to pick up the book, Diemeng's expression on his back instantly became serious.

"Ma'am," the attendant noticed the change in his master's expression uneasily. "The ......"

"It's funny. Butterfly Dream said seemingly to herself. "This red-clothed person is not an ordinary person. ”

"Yes, doesn't seem to be?" The attendant had listened to it almost all on the side, but he didn't understand what was wrong.

"Nope. Diemeng replied lightly. Her entourage is experienced, but after all, there are some secrets in the world that are not secrets - there are things that everyone knows in a certain circle, but outside this circle, very few people know.

It's just like the judgment that Hongyi just said. In fact, Diemon herself didn't think that Grummas's mother would take that kind of reckless revenge. She may weigh the pros and cons after thinking calmly and inquiring carefully, and retaliate by using the hands of others, or giving Lu Wu a secret knife through official channels, but she will never risk her life.

High-level warlocks usually cherish their lives very much. Or rather, a warlock who is too reckless will not live that long. Because this world is also a world of war, killing everywhere is not a lie. In this kind of "infighting", the only person who will become an assassin himself can only be a young man who does not know the height of the sky.

Not to mention the magic that popped out inexplicably now called "Devouring". The spread of this magic is already an unstoppable thing. Even a fool can perceive that there is a deep malice behind the invention and spread of this magic. But what can we do even if we know that we are malicious? The reality is that people's hearts are sinister. It is also a rare example of a half-hesitant estimate like Diemeng before killing. Every warlock (as long as he has the opportunity) will probably not hesitate to use his blood-stained hands to plunder power from his theoretical companions.

And the question of the "only child" just now.

This question is deliberately asked by Diemon, and it seems to be meaningless, just casually talking about a possibility, and even her female attendant can't hear it (which doesn't blame her, because it's also a secret that isn't a secret). But the red coat very firmly denied this possibility.

There is no room for negotiation at all, and it is categorically denied.

Only a high-ranking warlock, or someone who knows them very well, can understand this little secret. Or maybe the red clothes themselves didn't expect this little temptation.

Indeed, no female High Warlock has only one child—unless she is too young, such as Butterfly Dream, to give birth, or her fertility is too flawed to have children. However, as we all know, the second possibility is negligible.

It was obvious that the red clothes could not be very familiar with the Flare family. According to the information that Butterfly Dream has, this person has not left the Banshee Gate since he suddenly appeared. However, he also knew these secrets that only the high-ranking warlocks knew...... According to the logical reasoning, then it is that the red coat once had a very close relationship with one or more high-level warlocks.

However, such a person is the kind of person whose origin is unknown, and it is even very likely that he is from the side of the Underworld.

In fact, there are not many spies in this kind of border area (spies usually have a plan to stay at the border for a short time and then leave), and most of the spies who will stay in such places are fugitives. It is natural that people who commit great sins on Huiyue's side will choose to flee to the Stygian Moon, and the same is naturally true on the Stygian Moon's side. There were few warlocks and few nobles among these fugitives, because they were of great value and often held certain information and secrets, and were naturally hunted down.

In the face of the unscientific power of "magic", very few people can defect and survive (unless they are quite powerful). In fact, when it comes to hunting down fugitives, the Stygian Moon has a much superior advantage over the Radiant Moon. One of the Dark Rangers' key missions is to hunt down "high-level criminals" who have fled into the area ruled by the Bright Moon. Unless he identified himself to the top of the Huiyue camp from the beginning and was sheltered, it was rare for a warlock or a nobleman to live incognito and live in seclusion as an ordinary person.

Of course, although this is the case, there are no absolutes in the world, and even a small number of fish that slip through the net are normal. Still, she could be sure that Redcoat wasn't a warlock. Because the red coat lacks the kind of warlock's peculiar, keen reaction to magical residues.

So, is it a certain noble? Moreover, it will not be a second- or third-rate aristocratic house similar to the Evening Star family. Is it a character with a lot of background?

Well, I have to say, the red dress aroused a lot of interest in her. Although she knew that there should be no connection between the red clothes and the bald head, and the red clothes had been here for many years, even if they had any confidential information or the like, it was estimated that it was outdated. But how to say it...... Perhaps it can be understood that any scholar must have a strong curiosity. The red dress at this moment really piqued her interest.

Moreover, the relationship between Lu Wu and Hongyi is also quite interesting. This is not a secret, Lu Wu was originally a recruit under the command of the red-clothed, and then the two sides became colleagues, and then finally Lu Wu became the superior of the red-clothed man, and it can be said that the whole fell one by one. Usually, this type of relationship can be somewhat awkward and detached. But in fact, it's the opposite, and the two seem to be completely unconcerned about this. Lu Wu obviously trusted the red clothes very much, and the red clothes did not show any ambition to replace them.

Before, Diemeng was keenly aware of this. However, at that time, her limited attention was almost all on Lu Wu, and she didn't think about the issue of red clothes. Thinking about it now, it seems like a lot of fun.

Both sides...... Is there some kind of special agreement, or is it some kind of tacit understanding?

As she thought, Redcoat had already picked up all the books and stacked them in a relatively clean place. On the side, the strange animal ran over and was picked up by the red coat.

Butterfly didn't waste much attention on this pet - there were so many alien creatures in Banshee's Gate. She'd seen some of the records. After about 100 years, the "alienation" effect caused by visitors from another world will slowly disappear, that is, the genes of the creature will eventually stabilize. When the time comes, it is estimated that it will bring many new members to the biological species of this world or the gene pool of scientists.

In a short period of time, the otherworldly creatures have turned the entire Banshee Gate into a "bustling desert" (a reference to a report, as the Banshee Gate appears to be rich in species and sprouts countless new creatures, but in reality it is all an unusable resource). Agriculture, fishery, aquaculture and so on have become empty words). But in the long run, it adds a lot of new biological resources to the whole world. It's hard to tell if it's good or bad.

"Please follow me. Redcoat led the way to the other side of the camp. Unaware of the moment he turned around this time, a strange luster flashed in Diemeng's eyes.

Then he heard an exclamation from behind him.

Everything happened so suddenly that Hongyi was stunned for a moment: when he heard the exclamation and turned his head, Diemeng, who was still in high spirits just now and spoke and behaved normally, had collapsed limply in the arms of the female attendant. She covered her eyes with both hands.

He looked around, but found nothing. This is clearly not an attack. Otherwise, the enemy would have jumped out long ago by this moment.

Really...... Was it just forcibly suppressing the injury just now? Hongyi stepped forward and saw Diemeng's pale and even blue face. Diemon covered her face with her hand, revealing a clear wound on her arm.

I couldn't see it in the sleeve of my coat before, but now I see it. It was a wound that had almost healed, but it still left marks. I guess it's a remnant of the previous battle.

"I'll call the doctor. Redcoat said. He clearly saw that the other party was delirious.

"I'm trained in healing," the female attendant exclaimed anxiously. "Help me get her to a safe place. ”
