Chapter XXIII: Divergences and Intersections
When He Qitian was studying, the head teacher was a young man who talked a lot, and he was also a hot-blooded young man who had just graduated from the normal school and was full of yearning and expectation for life.
The single man with starlight in his eyes and a month's salary just enough for rent always said: "When you are developed, you must remember the teacher and me, the teacher is in this life and the flowers of the motherland, so ah, when some of you become famous in the future, remember to ask the teacher to go to a star-rated restaurant to rub it, teacher, I have really never entered such a high-end place in my life." β
This man didn't teach He Qitian for too long, and during the summer vacation of his sophomore year of high school, the moat, which was usually half arid and not drought, was flooded, and the man jumped into the rolling torrent. Eventually, the rescue team found the body of the schoolboy he was trying to save several kilometers downstream, but his body was never found.
He Qitian didn't know why he suddenly thought of that man, but he heard that if a person can leave a particularly deep impression on you, then you can see his shadow in your life, this kind of person is called an idol, or a model. But now that he thinks about it, it is true that he can't even remember the teacher's face, probably because too much time has passed.
"Mr. Li, today I have fulfilled your dream. He Qitian sat at the dining table, and next to him sat a restrained Moira.
Shahlimnir wasn't that hard to find, because the four-legged boar on the sign was too eye-catching.
The restaurant is located in a secluded part of Shadow Street, a place that is too quiet compared to the other lively prime locations on the street, and unlike the bustling crowds of other shops in front of the door, there is not even a figure on the elegant and luxurious sheep fat jade steps of this restaurant.
Moira and He Qitian walked to the door of the store, thinking that the restaurant had closed for a temporary event today.
Just when the two were discussing where to go to dinner, they hacked a wave of unreliable Carter by the way. A handsome guy with a chef's hat in front of the store had already seen the two of them.
Led by the handsome guy, the two walked into the most upscale restaurant on this quiet Shadow Street. The dΓ©cor of this restaurant is very different from the other shops in Shadow Street, the small restaurant is full of golden decorations, and in the center of the hall is the only long hardwood table, which is large enough for more than 30 people to sit together, and on one side of the table is a thick wooden wine barrel, which stands in the other space of the restaurant, like a tank of oil in a gas station. In such an empty dining room, not only is there no second table, not even the basic small decorations and menus, all the decorations are large sculptures, and there are large oil paintings on the walls that can be called epic masterpieces.
Rather than being called a fancy restaurant, it is more like a stately dining hall with a decoration. Although He Qitian didn't know how the cafeteria had anything to do with the magnificence, it was obvious that this was a little different from the high-end restaurants in He Qitian's fantasy, the star-rated restaurants were all under the dim light, next to several exquisite and elegant tables, a successful man in a suit and leather shoes and a beautiful woman in a white dress looked at each other through a red wine glass, while quietly talking about love, and the dignified waiter stood in the shadows that they couldn't notice, just waiting for a gesture to come forward to serve.
However, this palatial Shahlimnir was clearly not of this style, and it was more suitable for a group of stout warriors sitting around a long table of roasts, preserves, and various upside-down wine glasses, which were laughing and laughing loudly, casually raising the glass full of mead and drinking it down, while slapping their comrades on the shoulders, the clash of armor and leather mingled with the crisp sound of weapons sliding to the ground.
"Welcome to Shahlimnir! I'm Tonio Torakis, the chef and waitress here. The handsome man in the chef's hat led He Qitian and Mo Yi to the long table and sat down, he clenched his fists to his chest, and performed a ritual that He Qitian had never seen before.
"Wow! You're the same Tonio chef! Two-time Magic Chef Champion! Can you sign me for a group photo?" Moira was in a much better mood since she received the two gold coins given to her by Carter, although both Moira and Carter were busy preventing the anger that He Qitian would not actually have at all, and when Moira realized that she had actually accepted so much of Carter's money, Carter didn't know where to go. Under He Qitian's persuasion, Moira carefully put the two gold coins back into her small satchel, and then in the process of looking for a restaurant, the girl kept carefully holding her small satchel, for fear that someone would suddenly come out and snatch the satchel.
"Ah...... That, isn't it good for the two of us to occupy such a large table, and we should change the place to some private room or something?" He Qitian sat at the long table in the center of the hall, and it was also the center of the long table, which made him feel like everyone was in the spotlight, and there was burning charcoal under his buttocks.
Tonio was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Shahlimnir only has this one table." β
"Eh......" He Qitian felt that he was becoming more and more unable to understand the brain circuits of this group of people in the magical world. There is only one table, do you only receive one table of guests at a time? Or do all the guests eat at one table, are you a school cafeteria or a star-rated restaurant?
"The restaurant only accepts customers once a day, so we only have one table. Tonio explained with a smile, "Carter Alexander is the only guest today, so the only people in this restaurant today are Carter Alexander and you, the agent of His Excellency Blade Dragon. Tonio saluted with his fist to his chest again.
Tonio does not use honorifics when referring to Carter Alexander, the gold lord, but uses honorifics when referring to the Bladed Dragon.
He Qitian said with some confusion: "You know me?"
Tonio said with a reasonable expression: "All the guests of this restaurant must not hide their true identities, otherwise this restaurant will not provide food to people of unknown origin." β
He Qitian asked with some curiosity, "Is it for safety?"
Tonio shook his head: "No, because this is Valhalla, it's Valhalla, and those who can enjoy food here should be heroes or warriors, and under the gaze of God Odin, no one can hold back." β
"Eh, is Carter a hero or a warrior?" He Qitian listened to Tonio talk about the rules with interest, but he didn't take this rule seriously, because since a ruffian like Carter can easily book a place, then maybe this so-called rule is a way to make those dignitaries who come to dine happy.
"It's up to you to judge for yourself, after all, heroes and warriors are judged differently by everyone. Tonio replied again, "I'll prepare the dishes here, and all you have to do is sit at the table and wait." There are various flavors of sake in the barrels, and the wooden cups are in the sterilizer next to the counter, so please take them yourself. β
He Qitian glanced at the disinfection cabinet next to the counter and grinned. This kind of service attitude is indeed an eye-opener for He Qitian, at least it is far from the high-end restaurant in He Qitian's mind, but more like a buffet.
"Yo, Your Excellency has arrived!" Carter's delightful voice sounded at the door, and the man was sweating profusely, apparently having just exercised violently, and looking dusty. He expertly rubbed the insoles of the doorway, pulled out a tiny wand from his pocket, and tapped it around his body, and his clothes suddenly looked much neater. When he entered, he excitedly walked around the long table, took out a huge wooden cup in the sterilizer, about the same capacity as the hero cup, and poured himself a large glass of mead from a nearby wine barrel.
He raised his glass and poured honey down his throat, the glass half empty in an instant, and Carter let out a satisfied moan. Looking at him like that, he was really tired just now.
Carter filled the cup again, and then walked slowly to the opposite side of He Qitian, without that flattering expression on his face. At this time, He Qitian found that this hooligan leader did not bring his own horse boy now, but came to the banquet alone, He Qitian thought that when he was waiting for dinner, the other side of the table was full of fierce and vicious nobles and witches, and then Carter, a two-faced and three-sworded, honey-bellied sword guy, tore off his flattering disguise and threatened himself fiercely.
The fact is that there are really only three of them in the huge restaurant, and there is not even a person who pours wine and serves dishes.
Carter looked at He Qitian and Moira, who were stunned, and suddenly smiled, and then said: "Yes, yes, I forgot to pour wine for Your Excellency, it is indeed difficult to adapt to the first time here." With that, the young man walked back to the front of the cupboard, took a large wooden cup and a small glass, poured a large glass full of mead, and poured out a glass of red liquid from another barrel on one side, and it was evident that he often came here to eat, and he had even figured out what was in the unlabeled barrels.
Carter walked back to his seat, placed the wooden cup in front of He Qitian, and placed the glass in front of Moira, and smiled at the same time. Only then did He Qitian realize that this young man's current smile was completely devoid of the previous flattery and artificiality, on the contrary, it was very friendly, giving people a very natural feeling. This Carter feels completely different from before.
Moira looked at the red liquid in the glass with some vigilance, whether it was the level of consumption here, or the Alexander in front of her, who often had trouble with the Apocalypse, she was a little constrained.
Carter looked at the suspicious eyes of the two, took a sip of mead a little helplessly, and then he introduced: "That cup is rose dew, a low-alcohol drink suitable for girls to drink, if you don't like it, Xiaomo, there are other flavors of juice here, I'll change it for you." β
Moira and He Qitian shouted in their hearts at the same time, if this guy changed his face to Green Bein's face now, they would both feel no sense of disobedience, but now this humble and friendly attitude appeared in a guy who usually behaved perversely, and his morals were corrupted, and it was a bit infiltrating.
"Try it, it tastes great, these wines are all the work of Nordic winemakers, and some ancient methods handed down from mythological times are used when making wine, although the taste is not as good as the blood of kings for the time being, but it is also a rare treasure. Carter raised his glass and motioned for He Qitian to raise his glass as well. He Qitian raised his heavy wine glass out of etiquette, the golden mead in the glass was emitting an enticing aroma, and he didn't know if the barrel had been added to the magician's tricks, and the mead poured out of the wooden wine barrel was exuding a faint cold air, like a cold beer just taken out of the refrigerator.
"Cheers to the glory of His Excellency Fenglong!" Carter cheered and touched the cup against He Qitian's cup, and then he threw his head back and gulped down the cold mead. He Qitian glanced at the wine in the glass, his throat moved, he had to admit that the taste of this wine was very attractive.
He Qitian raised his glass in confusion, as soon as the cold and sweet wine touched his tongue, it turned into a mellow and sweet clear stream and flowed into his throat, and in He Qitian's surprised eyes, a fiery feeling burned from his stomach to his tongue.
Enjoyable!
He Qitian was a little intoxicated, the taste and pungency of this wine were just right, although the taste seemed to be very strong, but the wine was also fading quickly with the flow of wine.
Carter laughed as he watched He Qitian drink, and then Tonio, who had disappeared for a while, placed a large plate in the center of the table. A roasted suckling pig with a charred skin is lying in the middle of a plate, with a red apple in its mouth. Tonio set up silver cutlery and snow-white ceramic plates in front of the three of them, and quietly placed a silver-white dinner knife next to the roast pig.
"Come, come, I'll cut it for you. Carter warmly grasped the handle of the knife and skillfully and accurately cut the two best pieces of roast meat and placed them on the plates of He Qitian and Moira.
"You have to do all the food and wine here, and of course, Tonio will be happier to be able to nibble on this pig directly, but considering that there is also a 'Valkyrie' here, Valkyrie occasionally needs to be a little more ladylike. Carter teased as he put the knife down.
"Yes, even though this is 'Valhalla', I don't think Odin would have asked such a lovely girl to wear armor like a warrior. Tonio took Carter's words and placed the pasta in front of Moira. Then the chef pulled out a plate of roasted, shiny whole deer legs from the cart behind him.
Then he brought a relatively small barrel to the table and sat down next to Carter. The cook took off his hat and took a glass of wine from the cask on the table from a wooden cup, and the handsome cook raised his glass and shouted, "For the sake of Εaharla!" and drank it all in a heroic manner, not like a cook, but like a Viking.
He Qitian cut off a piece of the barbecue meat on the plate and put it in his mouth, a strong fragrance accompanied by the juice in the meat suddenly diffused in the mouth, this roast suckling pig roasted very hot, while fully cooking the taste of the meat, but also maintain the original flexibility and chewiness of the muscles, to ensure the texture and taste. Moreover, Toneo, who cooks this dish, obviously has a deep understanding of all kinds of dishes, and the taste of this dish is closer to the taste of Chinese food, which must have been specially requested by Carter.
Moira blushed and munched on the barbecue she had cut, a happy expression on her face.
"I hope Your Excellency can be satisfied with this dinner, although according to the Chinese custom, it should be called a light meal, but the spiritual Viking next to me will definitely chop my head with a big axe." Carter was joking with He Qitian while splitting the deer's legs.
"It tasted great, it was indeed the most delicious dish I've ever had. He Qitian praised from the bottom of his heart, and there was really no compliment in his words.
"But you must have something to say, right?" He Qitian said. He is not a fool, from the moment he enters the door, Carter's appearance is so wrong, there must be a demon when things go wrong, He Qitian is not stupid enough to really think that this is just a meal.
Carter glanced at the happy-looking girl next to him, and he said without denial: "Haha, I can't hide anything from Your Excellency, but it's not a big deal, let's talk while eating." As he spoke, Carter put his chopped roast venison on a plate and placed it in front of He Qitian and Moira, the second-generation leader of the Merlin Academy with a light and kind smile on his face.
He Qitian and Moira looked at the venison in front of them, and then looked at each other, both of them could see the suspicion and deep jealousy in each other's eyes.
Since He Qitian stayed at the Merlin Academy of Magic, Carter has always been a minion, and since Moira met this Carter Alexander, everyone has commented on him as idle, scumbag, and wanton evil under his status as a nobleman. Although the current Carter Alexander is still very enthusiastic about He Qitian, he doesn't feel like a disciple or an arrogant aristocrat, although he still doesn't have Green's demeanor, but at least the current Carter really can't make people associate him with the second generation of Wu.
"It's weird, right~ It's not strange, my old man often taught me that men must be responsible, and of course, a little disguise is also necessary occasionally. Carter chuckled, a silver light dancing in his hand. He Qitian fixed his eyes and saw that it was the silver dagger that had been taken away. Carter used the dagger to lightly slash at the roast suckling pig, and the cooked pork was easily separated by the blade like silk, and the silver dagger's smooth knife did not have a trace of excess oil, not even a trace of hot vapor condensed on the knife. Carter delicately slice the pork into small pieces along the original texture of the meat, and then he held the dagger in both hands and presented it to He Qitian.
Without waiting for He Qitian to react, Moira on the side had already carefully taken over the murder weapon, because there was no scabbard at hand, and the original equipment of this dagger was left in He Qitian's dormitory, and Moira could only put it on the long table in front of her.
"Forgive me for guaranteeing your presence in this way. Carter had a smug look on his face, and it seemed that his claim that the dagger had been taken away privately by his men was not true, and that in fact it was possible that the dagger had been taken away at the behest of Carter himself.
This second generation of Wu is not simple, He Qitian secretly took a breath and came to such a conclusion, saying that these people who can climb to a high position are definitely not simple, but He Qitian didn't expect that if you think about it carefully, this Carter Alexander can have such a scheming. He Qitian felt a little numb in his scalp, it seemed that his wheel machine was often not as good as these descendants of wizards who had been fighting since childhood. Only then did He Qitian realize that not every nobleman was as frank and open as Green, even if he was a sunny person like Green, didn't his childhood dream be to become a dark knight like Batman?
"So, why did you spend all this time asking me to come here?" He Qitian asked, putting the barbecue meat in his mouth. It's not that he looks indifferent, it's just that he has really never eaten such a delicious thing, and his hands are a little disobedient, so he can satisfy his appetite, He Qitian can be regarded as a qualified Chinese foodie.
And He Qitian answered his own words while eating, this disapproving demeanor was expected by Carter, after all, he was the agent of His Excellency Fenglong, and he was able to deal with things so unfazed, and even in the face of his true face, he could deal with it as usual, and when he was in the discussion, this agent also reminded himself that maybe this agent had already seen through his disguise.
Thinking of this, Carter couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't imagine that his perfect disguise had already fallen apart in the torch-like gaze of His Excellency the Agent, and he was still afraid that His Excellency the Agent really felt that he was an uneducated and unskilled academy hooligan who refused to come to the banquet, and it seemed that he had done too much useless work.
He Qitian sat at the dining table, constantly eating the grilled meat that was just right, melt-in-the-mouth, how did he know that Carter was already over-interpreting himself?
"Since Your Excellency the Agent has long seen through my disguise, then we will not speak secretly. Carter sorted out his words, and the movement of cutting the roast meat in his hands stopped. Tonio playfully said that he was going to the kitchen to see the stew, away from the long table, and he didn't have a hobby of sitting at the table to pry into the privacy of the guests.
"Merlin's School of Magic isn't safe, at least for now. Carter's first words were astonishing.
And He Qitian didn't feel anything at all, the academy was not safe and it was not safe for him to say anything, to put it mildly, he was just here to eat and drink, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of the magic world except for the little fur he had learned in the past few days.
So He Qitian said nonchalantly: "Go on, don't stop, and then what?"
Carter was a little surprised by He Qitian's calm attitude, and he continued: "Principal Merlin hasn't shown up for half a year, and he hasn't even shown up to speak at the opening ceremony of this semester, which is very abnormal. β
Where did He Qitian know who Merlin was, he only knew that this Merlin was also one of the members of the Round Table, and I heard that he was still the founder of the Round Table, and he was almost 150 years old this year, but what does this Merlin have to do with him He Qitian?
On the contrary, Moira tilted her head and thought for a while, and nodded affirmatively, she really hadn't seen the legendary sage Grandpa Merlin at this year's freshman opening ceremony, only a few professors with gloomy faces made a lot of statements about paying attention to safety and obeying the school rules.
Moira should know that more than a dozen students from remote areas have dropped out of school this semester, which is very unusual. Carter took a sip of mead, trying to make He Qitian realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Drop out of school, quit school, isn't this kind of thing normal?" He Qitian wiped his mouth, his stomach was warm, and he didn't know what was going on with the barbecue he ate, which not only made him feel that he didn't support it at all, but felt that his body was hot, and his muscles were full of inexhaustible strength.
"Not at all, Merlin Academy is the best magic academy in the world, and it is a great honor for every wizard to be able to enter and study here, except for those who are expelled from the academy every year, such as the previous Barry...... No one will drop out of school voluntarily. Not only have there been dropouts this semester, but a very large number of them have dropped out of school voluntarily. Moira added at this time. The guide of the student council whispered that although she also enjoyed the food, especially when Toneo was still taking out all kinds of dishes from the back kitchen, she still couldn't forget her own job, that is, to popularize some things for He Qitian that he didn't understand.
He Qitian didn't take it to heart at all, he just said: "Maybe it's because of his family background? The tuition fee of such an academy is not cheap, right?"
Carter shook his head across the long table again: "Merlin Academy has a sufficient scholarship system, even if you are penniless, you can complete your studies through scholarships and admission compensation, and the purpose of President Merlin to establish this academy is to give all wizards the opportunity to fully and systematically learn magical knowledge." There is no class in education, this is your Chinese saying, and the principal has always been on his lips. β
"So, what do you think is going on?" He Qitian realized that things might be really abnormal, but he still didn't subconsciously relate to himself. He just wants an extraordinary life, and it's too exciting to expose shady things like that.
"All the students who dropped out of school were girls, and their families were almost Muggle families, similar to Xiao Mo, although a distant relative had a few wizarding experience, but there was almost no shadow of magic in his own family. All students are escorted home by a special teacher after dropping out of school, and their memories are tampered with by forgetting spells, so that the family has almost no connection with magic. Carter said.
He Qitian frowned: "Isn't it very good? The matter has been resolved, and the secret of magic has not been leaked." So the academy you're referring to is unsafe, what the hell is going on?"
Carter shook his head and denied this statement: "In principle, yes, I asked my old man to follow up, and I also followed up with the families of these students, and the answer was that these students have returned home safely, and are already preparing for the next year's college exams, and the modification of memory is also perfect, and the parents think that their children just voluntarily dropped out because they can't keep up with their studies in an ordinary university, and they themselves agreed." β
He Qitian held up the mead and said, "Isn't that good, so what's the problem?"
"The problem is that we haven't seen those students again," Carter said. β
He Qitian's raised wine glass stopped in the air, Carter's voice became gloomy, and his face also showed a look of helplessness and pain.
"What do you mean?" He Qitian put down his glass, he couldn't understand the meaning of Carter's words.
"Usually this kind of brainwashed Muggle family will be treated as a normal person later, so there will be no follow-up, and there will be no follow-up, because once such a family decides to drop out of school, it will be removed from the wizarding family directory in the future. So no one will find out that in fact, there is no student in the family of these students, only the brainwashed parents. And in two weeks at most, the family will move to a place that no one knows, and their whereabouts will never be known. Carter said word for word.
"What do you mean?" He Qitian seemed to be listening to the plot of a suspense drama, not only not believing it, but also a little afraid After a while, this gloomy Carter suddenly laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm scared, right, lie to you." β
"The students were abducted after dropping out of school, their whereabouts are unknown, and they were disposed of along with their families. Because no one would pay attention to the dropout wizards who had become Muggles. Carter took a sip of mead and added, "That's my speculation." β
Carter's expression was extremely serious, and Moira was already so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
He Qitian was obviously also a little overwhelmed, and he reminded, "Then why don't you tell the teacher or report to the Ministry of Magic?"
Carter shook his head: "Headmaster Merlin hasn't shown up for more than half a year, and most of the teachers in the academy are actually nobles, and they rarely meddle in the affairs of the Muggle world, so I may not be able to get help from the teachers, but will expose myself." β
He Qitian was a little stunned, and Carter continued: "I am different from Rabbit, I am the president of the pure-blood brotherhood, and the second generation of the most squishy witch in the academy, so I can better control the undercurrent among the students in the academy. β
"Huh?" He Qitian was a little confused, and Moira was even more dazed, in her image, this Carter really didn't do anything serious except for maliciously attacking and hurting Joshua?
"I am the head wolf, the head wolf who regulates the pack. Rabbit is the president of the student council from a civilian background, even though she is very popular among ordinary students, but she is not a nobleman after all, which is very fatal in a wizarding society that pays attention to birth and blood. The children of the nobles want to bring her down all the time, attack her, and get her off the position of the president, but if the rabbit is in the position of the president, the student council will not become a tool and lackey for the nobles to entrench, after all, not all nobles are as bright and upright as Senior Green. So I have to be her worst enemy, because I am also a nobleman, as long as I stand up and become the rabbit's worst enemy, then until I succeed in seizing the position of the student council from the rabbit, other noble children will not make much of a move, because now everyone knows that I, Carter Alexander, are interested in the position of president of the student council, and if anyone comes to intervene, it will not be a contradiction between nobles and commoner wizards, but between nobles and nobles. So the more I behaved like a gentleman, the more I struggled with my henchmen, the more no one would want to go against me. Carter explained.
"Oh, there's still such a way to do it!" He Qitian suddenly realized at this time, no wonder this Carter behaved so annoyingly, but he could be called a warrior and a hero by the boss Tonio. This kind of forbearance and wisdom is not something that ordinary people can have.
"Moreover, the children of the nobility have always looked down on the commoner wizards, and if the children of the nobility have a conflict with the commoner wizards, the teachers who are nobles will generally look down on the children of the nobility. Barry is a good example, when Merlin Academy of Magic and Wizardry was just created, civilian wizards were humiliated and treated unfairly in the school, if I didn't be this head wolf, Barry didn't know how much of this kind of thing would happen in the school. Carter explained, his face full of helplessness and sadness, "I am the worst nobleman in the academy, so who can be worse than me? β
The most uneducated aristocrat in the academy said plainly and helplessly, while Moira was already red-eyed, she kept apologizing to Carter, she used to curse Carter for bullying Joshua every day, but now that she thinks about it, Carter really hasn't done anything excessive except for verbal and unforgiving abuse, and even when his younger brother wants to add fuel to the fire, he will be thought by him as "how can the behavior of a nobleman be so rude" For reasons to dissuade, I thought that this hooligan was just putting gold on his face, but who knew that he had such a big abacus.
"Does Miss Silbe know about this kind of thing?" He Qitian was also a little moved by this man, although he couldn't empathize with Carter's forbearance and tenacity, but Carter was carrying more things on his back than he imagined.
"Of course the rabbit doesn't know, she's leading the students in the open, and I just need to escort her in the dark. Carter had a strange flush on his face when he mentioned Silbe, and the man in the dark of the academy buried his head in embarrassment.
"So, I can't be exposed, I can pay attention to many things in the shadows that everyone can't pay attention to, and some of my actions won't attract everyone's attention, no one would have thought that Carter Alexander would investigate this kind of thing behind his back, even if the black hand behind it knew that someone was investigating, he would never think that it was me! So, Your Excellency He Qitian, I implore you, among the people present now, only you can solve this matter, and only you can go beyond the noble bloodline to investigate this matter, there are definitely people among the teachers of the academy who are involved in this matter, but I have no definite evidence. Carter suddenly pleaded earnestly.
"But even if it's me, what can I do?" He Qitian was a little curious, he was not a detective Suenan, let alone a detective with a good brain, and even when he went out of the dormitory door, he would get lost without Moira leading the way, what could he do?
"I don't need you to do anything, I will handle all the investigations, but my investigation cannot be used as evidence, so I need your strength, the privilege of your representative of His Excellency Fenglong......"
"The 'Sword of the Tyrant' that can bring down judgment by your will alone!"
The Sword of the Tyrant, the Round Table privilege of the Bladed Dragon, the power to kill, the absolute privilege born for the sake of killing.
Because of the actions of the dragon, the Round Table is the most likely power to get out of control, which makes sinners chill and makes the powerful fearful.
The cup in Moira's hand stopped in mid-air halfway up, and she couldn't wait to see He Qitian's expression. This is a conversation between two powers, at least such a forbidden power can be involved in the conversation, which proves that Carter himself has prepared for the worst.
"I refuse. He Qitian said as he forked a ball of pasta. He tried his best to show disinterest, muffling his mouth to hide his trembling teeth.
Carter's eyes widened in disbelief, in his prediction, for such a thing, He Qitian would definitely not refuse, but would gladly accept it. His master, the man he represents, is Lord Blade, the tyrant of the Round Table, the butcher, and the absolute righteous cleaner. The family that fell because he saw injustice and drew his sword to help him could not count them on two hands, and countless dark wizards were directly tried after his secret investigation. In the eyes of the sorcerer who is full of evil behind his back, he is a butcher, he is a tyrant, he is a psychopath, he is a sinner who should never exist in the round table. Yet in the eyes of most ordinary ordinary wizards, he is the Savior, the judgment itself that judges sin.
But He Qitian himself knows very well that he is neither a savior nor the only savior in this world, he is just an ordinary person, nothing more, ordinary and humble. This is his strategy and method, he can't help it, and he doesn't have the courage to kill anyone.
Carter shrugged: "In that case, I won't force it." His words were very calm, but they made He Qitian feel strange, he was clearly full of expectations before, but after being rejected, he didn't care.
It's all so weird.
At this time, there was the sound of plates falling on the floor in the kitchen, Carter and He Qitian glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly rushed into the kitchen.
