Chapter 137: The Returning Dead
Regarding Barton's identity, Barton's purpose, and the purpose of the Heavenly Realm were all put aside first, these were relatively long ago things for Tang Dou and them, and what was really troublesome was their next action.
The war against the Sand Tooth is over, and the Inner Ring of Alsa should enter into a temporary peace—peace between the six great powers.
The war between the Tiger Shadow Lords and the Kadesa Lords will only end when one side is wiped out. This is a shock to the ten major powers, if this was just Horta's idea at the beginning, now it is the idea of the six great powers.
They are busy restoring their strength after the war and dividing up their interests, and at this time, they must not let the top ten leaders make small moves.
Then it is safest to let them fight.
Although only the two families who really made the move, Tiger Shadow and Kadessa, how could the other eight collars really stay out of the matter?
So under such a distorted "peace", Tang Dou could finally free up his hands to do some things he wanted to do.
He has not forgotten what he came to Alsar for in the first place, and he has not forgotten the purpose of developing his new workshop.
Tsubasa's mission is like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and he can only obediently obey until he has the strength to fight against the absolute power of the other party.
Kill the Blood Elf Patriarch before the Jade level.
At first, he didn't dare to tell Sha Yunyue about this task at all. Even if the elf girl obeyed him, it was impossible for him to allow him to assassinate his own people. But now that he had some evidence that the Blood Elf Patriarch was most likely a traitor to the Elven Clan, he told the matter.
Sha Yunyue's only requirement was that the evidence must be confirmed, if the patriarch of the Blood Elf Clan was not a traitor, Tang Dou would not be able to make a move.
But for Tang Dou, if he wasn't sure at all, how could he tell Sha Yunyue about it?
Next, it should be an investigation.
"Teacher, where have you been these days?" Crow finally saw Tang Dou again, she hadn't seen Tang Dou for almost ten days, and thought that this guy was going to retreat for another month or two before coming out.
"Aha, I'm lost on the road of life!" Tang Dou pretended to be better than before.
Crow didn't bother to deal with the strange tunes of this thing now: "Teacher, you're just in time, I have something to tell you!" ”
Tang Dou raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”
"It's about some rumors, now it's only spread among those slaves, and some small families also know about it, I've controlled these, but the situation really doesn't seem right!" Crowe is no longer the arrogant and incapable girl she used to be.
The current level of Crowe in government affairs is higher than Tang Dou - in fact, Tang Dou has no government affairs ability at all, he is just a bad stomach, plus some universal experience in his previous life.
Crow said, handing a scroll to Tang Dou.
Tang Dou opened the scroll and looked at it, and laughed: "Oh? Did he finally not be able to resist coming out? I thought he wanted to hold it all the time! ”
Crow nodded, the expression on his face was quite gloomy: "When you told me, teacher, I thought it was just that you were just worrying too much, but now it seems that this seems to be true!" ”
"What? Wouldn't it be better if he came back? Tang Dou's bad personality came out again, ridiculing Crow.
Crowe rolled his eyes: "I don't want to comment on all his previous actions, but since he has withdrawn from the stage of history, don't think about coming back." I'm going to fight him to the end! Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and looked at Tang Dou with expectant eyes, "Teacher, you will help me, right?" ”
Tang Dou laughed: "Of course! ”
Another two days passed.
Rumors began to spread uncontrollably, a rumor that made the major families restless.
Aresta is alive! He's back!
What Aresta means is clear to all. He is no longer just the former governor of the Gusi Kingdom, he is also a symbol, a mountain, and a deterrent. It was because of his death that Gus was in turmoil before, and it is conceivable that when he waved his arms again, how many families would respond.
Even the other five nations would respond to him, because none of them wanted to be threatened by Tang Dou.
And Tang Dou, this guy whose means ability is not much worse than Yaresta, has one thing stronger than Yaresta, that is, he is more crazy than Yaresta.
A guy who dares to threaten the five countries in front of the envoys of the five countries, and even asks the other party to hand over the protons, is definitely not a good person.
If these two face each other below, then ......
Does the kingdom of Gusi still exist?
After the Great War against the Sand Tooth Country, the Gusi Kingdom also had a good development, but there was no territory, insufficient materials, and only slaves, which was a point that the major families were quite dissatisfied with, and they didn't understand why Tang Dou did this.
I don't even understand that Tang Dou took this opportunity to fatten the new workshop and starve the Gusi Kingdom. But they only dare to be angry but dare not speak.
If it is a few years later, Tang Dou will definitely be able to toss these families into obedience. But now, if Aresta does show up, everything will change.
Everyone's attention began to pay attention to the rumor.
Is Aresta really not dead?
So, when a man claiming to be Aresta appeared in front of the Gus State Hall, the entire Gus Kingdom entered a tense atmosphere.
All the families are fighting hard, just waiting for the big war to begin.
Even Crowley, a cultivator who lived in seclusion, was shocked. This guy who will never leave the cultivation room unless he is in time of war came out as soon as he heard the news.
"Are you alive?" Crowley said when he saw Aresta.
"Probably!" Aresta gave a faint wry smile, "I'm resurrected, to be exact!" Because of an accident, I got an ancient relic! ”
Crowley seemed to have thought of something, and did not ask the question again, but changed the subject: "Then why are you showing up at this time?" ”
"Because I was thrown deep into the desert, it took me a long time to regain my memory, and then it took another month to regain my strength, and then I came back!" Aresta replied.
Crowley was silent for a moment: "Who killed you?" ”
Aresta shook her head: "I don't know, the opponent's strength is too high, I was killed in an instant!" ”
Crowley looked at Aresta for a long time before he spoke again, "What are your plans?" ”
"I don't have any plans, it seems that the new director has taken care of everything very well!" Yareslei looked at Tang Dou meaningfully.
Crowley didn't know what to think, and after a pause, he said, "I have handed over all the affairs of the Gus Kingdom to Nicholas and Crow. They're doing a great job and I don't like any changes! With that, he turned and left.
There have always been many theories about the relationship between Crowley and Aresta. Whether it is the people in the ancient kingdom or the people of the other five countries, all kinds of folk books are the content of these two protagonists, but what is going on, in fact, only the parties know.
And Crowley himself is an emotional apathy, and he also has a time when he is angry with his friends, and his previous vow to avenge Aresta with his war spirit is not just a political show. But now Aresta is back.
Also at this rather awkward time.
There will certainly be some changes in Crowley's thinking.
But for this cultivator, nothing else matters, what matters is the stability of the Gusi Kingdom.
Only the stability of the Gusi Kingdom could allow him to have enough time, energy, and resources to cultivate.
Crowley is not a fool, he knows what the consequences of Aresta's return will be, so he is reminding Aresta not to mess around!
Aresta kept that nonchalant smile: "Yes, as you wish, my lord!" ”
Crowley kept going back to cultivate, but whether he could really re-cultivate as if nothing had happened was something he could know.
"Nicholas!" After Crowley left, Aresta looked at Tang Dou and greeted him gently, "I really didn't expect that when we meet again, the identity between us will change so much!" ”
"I didn't expect anyone to hate that much. In order to trap me, you can die! As soon as Tang Dou opened his mouth, he pushed the atmosphere directly to the opposing picture.
Aresta narrowed her slender eyes, "Do you mean that I arranged all this?" ”
"At least I didn't arrange it!" Tang Dou shrugged, "How is it?" Are you interested in returning to this position? He patted the seat under his buttocks, "It feels good here!" ”
This rogue appearance made Crowe unable to bear to look at it directly, and slapped it on the forehead.
"Crow, your growth is very gratifying!" Aresta looked at Crow again.
Crow immediately looked serious: "It's a pleasure to see you again, Aresta." My teachers taught me very well, so I was able to achieve such results! She said and looked at Tang Dou on the side, indicating her identity with the other party.
At the same time, he also pointed out openly and secretly that Tang Dou was more powerful than the other party.
Because Aresta also used to be Crow's teacher, but Crow never admitted it.
Similarly, at that time, she was just a nominal princess.
"It seems that I am not popular!" Aresta smiled wryly, "But I guess I'm still qualified to live in the country of Gus, don't I?" ”
"Of course!" The word Crow is a pun.
The smile on Aresta's face was a little more full: "It's true that I've grown a lot, but I don't know if it's enough to weigh it?" ”
"Do you want to weigh it yourself?" Crowe looked at Aresta with burning eyes.
Aresta smiled and didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, he didn't know what he wanted to express, his last gaze fell on Tang Dou's side: "Rune puppet, magic teleportation array, soul power bomb, soul power concussion bomb, Nicholas, you are always so unexpected!" ”
"Oh? So which of these is what you need? Or all you want. I think you should have a lot of plans for playing such a big game of chess, right? I'm looking forward to it now! Tang Dou blinked.
"I didn't have anything I needed, I just wanted to do some research! I'm just curious! ”
"Curious? Curious about what? ”
"I'm curious about what your own territory looks like and where it is. I wonder if you can take me to see it? Aresta made a request that came as a surprise to Crow.
In fact, it is not only Aresta who has this idea, Crow is also curious about where Tang Dou's territory is, and where is such a freak as Tang Dou in Arsa?
But Crowe just thought that if Tang Dou didn't take the initiative to invite, she wouldn't make such a rude request.
But Aresta is different.
His gaze became incomparably deep, as if he wanted to see through all of Tang Dou's secrets at a glance.
"Go to my turf? All right! Tang Dou's answer was even more unexpected than Crow.
She wondered if her teacher didn't take medicine when she got up in the morning, and now she is sick.
"Oh?" Aresta seemed to be a little surprised.
"But I'm far away there, and if I want to go, I'll have to take a teleportation array. But there have been some minor problems with this teleportation array recently, and if you want to go, you have to take a little medicine to prevent fainting first! Tang Dou smiled and took out a cup containing a bubbling green viscous liquid: "As long as you drink this cup, we will set off immediately!" Don't worry, this shouldn't poison you! ”
It is true that poison does not die, but as long as Aresta dares to drink it, it will definitely become meat on Tang Dou's board. This was personally blended by Sha Yunyue, and it was filled with the toxin of the Scorpion Dragon Tail Needle that he had obtained from the Sand Tooth Country before, which was the same as the core of the Saint Bai Ding tree, a fierce poison with a 100% soul-breaking effect. And unlike the Holy White Ding Tree, the Scorpion Dragon Tail Needle Poison works slowly, but it is permanent, and the Holy White Ding Tree plays quickly, but it has the opposite effect.
Unless Aresta can die and be reborn again, he will have to become a normal person if he drinks this thing.
If he becomes an ordinary person and calculates Tang Dou, then Tang Dou can really die.
Because Tang Dou planned from the beginning that as long as the other party dared to drink, he would kill the other party on the spot, without the slightest hesitation.
Aresta looked at the cup in Tang Dou's hand that looked unsafe, and laughed: "Nicholas, you still like to joke so much. Do you think I'll drink it? ”
"Then do you think I'll let you go to my territory if you don't drink?" Tang Dou shrugged and withdrew his cup.
"I'm here to say hello this time, and I'm going to take care of it later!" Aresta seemed to lose interest in speaking, waved her hand, and turned to leave.
"Aresta, don't make contact with the people of the major families at the end of the day. You should know what I mean! Tang Dou's face suddenly turned cold.
Aresta didn't look back: "Is this an order from the new councillor?" ”
"No, it's just a personal reminder from me, because I don't want to be too troublesome when it comes time to kill. A lot of people have just died in the country of Gusi, and if you die too much, it will always be a bit troublesome! ”
"I think I get it!"
The door to the government hall slowly closed, and Crowe let out a long breath. (To be continued.) )
