[Thank you for the 2W reward of "giving up the treatment", two more today~]
"Knowing the Crystal?"
Hearing this word, Boromo and Dinethor were stunned. The difference was that Boromo's expression was full of bewilderment, as if it was strange that Chu Xuan knew the word, while Dinether's expression was more shocked, as if his biggest secret had been revealed at once.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" he turned and said loudly, "Even if you're a guest brought by your son Boromo, it's ridiculous to say such crazy things!
"Yes, you have not fallen as Saruman as Saruman did, and that is why I say these things to you. Chu Xuan took a step forward and said, "Sauron uses the crystal of true knowledge found in Minas Isil to manipulate what you see, causing you to feel desperate and fall into madness, so as to achieve your goal of controlling you. ”
"What nonsense!Guards!Where are the guards?" Dinethor seemed to be furious by Chu Xuan's words, and he suddenly turned around and shouted loudly to the servant in the shadows.
Several servants glanced at each other, as if they were overwhelmed by the behavior of the few people who were still talking a moment ago, but in the end, Dineth's order prevailed over their reason, and one of the servants ran out of the main hall quickly, and Chu Xuan did not stop it.
"Facts are often more convincing than words, Boromo, look at your father's face, he is rapidly aging, and this is the result of Sauron's strong will affecting him. Think about it, a few years ago, did your father have so many wrinkles on his face?"
When Boromo heard this, he immediately looked at Dinethor's face full of anger, and the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible in the light of the fire. It was only then that Boromo suddenly realized that his father had become so old before he knew it. He had thought that Mordor's threat and the turmoil in the country had exhausted Dinethor, but now it seemed that there was something else going on here.
"Yes, Your Excellency Chu Xuan, my father was just a middle-aged man a few years ago. Boromo nodded heavily, if Chu Xuan had previously pointed out the existence of the True Knowledge Crystal to enhance the persuasiveness of his words, then now he believed Chu Xuan's words a little more.
"Boromo, are you also deceived by these people? Would you rather trust these people who have just met and don't know their origins, rather than trust your father?" Dinethor roared, his eyes flashing with a strange light: "My son, although your father is old, he is not so useless. I can still hear and see as much as before, I can guess what you think in your heart and what you don't want to say, and I know the answers to many mysteries!"
"This ......" Boromo was yelled at by Dinether, and suddenly hesitated again.
At this moment, there was a sound of metal hitting the ground outside the door, and more than a dozen fully armored guards rushed in, and their bodies were still flashing with the light of fighting spirit. Looking at the strength of that fighting spirit, even compared to Boromo himself, it is not too far behind.
"Guards, arrest them!" called out Dinethor when he saw the guards arriving.
And the next moment, I saw three figures flashing by, and in an instant, everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and then several loud noises resounded in the palace, and those guards who looked tall and mighty fell to the ground. After doing this, Zheng Zha and Yang Yun patted the dust on their hands, and Zhao Yingkong snorted coldly and walked back to his original position silently, leaving only the soldiers who fell to the ground to prove what they had just done.
“…… That's the basics, we have more force than you can imagine, and if possible, it's not impossible for six men to capture Minas Tirith. Chu Xuan also said to the stunned Dinethor just rightly: "I don't want to say the same thing a second time...... You know what to do. ”
After that, Chu Xuan was no longer polite, he directly took out a Gauss pistol from his arms and put it on the door of Dinethor's head. With his dead face expression, he really looked like a big man at the negotiating table in the dark, society, and society, as if if Dinethor would shoot him directly and make a hole in the head of the Gondor regent as soon as he said half a word.
"Wait, wait, I know where that True Knowing Crystal is, it's on the top floor of the Pure White Tower!" Seeing Chu Xuan's behavior like this, Boromo hurriedly said. Although he didn't know what the thing in Chu Xuan's hand was, his intuition told him that if he didn't stop Chu Xuan, the next thing would probably be out of control.
"Very well, let's go together. Chu Xuan put away the Gauss pistol with an indifferent expression, and at the same time pointed at the servant who had just run out to call the guards in: "Since you are so loyal to the regent, then you can tell us about the regent's recent abnormal behavior, as well as the strange things that have happened during this period of time." ”
―――――――――― dividing line――――――――
On the way to the top floor of the Pure White Tower, the servant did not live up to Chu Xuan's expectations of him, and said a lot of words that verified Chu Xuan's inference from the side.
"When you entered Minas Tirith, Lord Boromo, many people saw a strange light from the top of the tower," said the servant, "but we have seen it before, and it has long been rumored in the city that the lord sometimes wrestles with the will of the demon king. ”
Sure enough, my guess was correct. Chu Xuan said, "This is how Sauron's clutches entered Minas Tirith, thus corrupting those who fought against him internally, just as he did to the Númenor Empire in the Second Age. The strongest fortresses are often breached from within, and sweet words are often more terrible than sharp knives and **. ”
"You just talked about the Second Age and the Númenórean Empire...... Right?" Boromo noticed some words in Chu Xuan's words, and asked cautiously, "May I ask, how did you learn about these things?" I remember that every Qiē of the Númenór Empire disappeared into the dust with that huge tsunami, and even the records were left with only a little ......."
Chu Xuan didn't answer, and Yang Yun, who was on the side, said: "Is there any point in caring about the dusty history? Instead of caring about the past, it is better to pay attention to the people and things in front of you." ”
With that, Yang Yun took a step forward and took the lead in pushing open the door at the top of the Pure White Tower.
What caught everyone's eye was a transparent spar fixed in the center of the room.
