Chapter 84 Co-optation
When Maier returned to Liangyue City, he asked Yishan, hoping that she would make it easier for Xiaoye and Xiaoniao to visit the prison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Yishan knew the origin of the two and felt that it was not a big deal, so she gave them the right to visit the prison freely. Of course, this power is time-limited, and as long as the witches leave the dungeon, Leaf and Bird will no longer be able to visit the prison.
Since Xiaoye and Xiaobird are Meier's men, and Meier has a close relationship with Yishan, the dungeon guards did not feel sorry for the two, and never even searched their bodies. In fact, if Maier wants to visit the prison, he can go directly to the dungeon, and the guards will not stop him. But once Yishan knows about it, it will definitely upset her, so Maier always greets Yishan before going to the dungeon.
When Mai and Uris entered Yishan's residence, Xiaoye and Xiaoyu had already gone to the dungeon as instructed by their master, and told the evil witches what Mai had told them.
"What does Mr. Meyer mean is that he is willing to take us in if we are willing to do so?"
In fact, in addition to Mayer's acquisition conditions, Xiaoye and Xiaoniao also told everyone about Ulis's acquisition conditions. However, the witches didn't consider it as one of the options at all, and after the two talked about the conditions for Mel's adoption, the witches made up their minds to follow Mel.
"Hmm." Xiao Ye nodded, "The master said that after completing the incorporation, the master will personally train everyone." The master said that the training would be strict, and those who could not persevere would be eliminated and sent directly to the slave traders under Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
No one wants to be a slave, and no one wants to be *** In order to keep a free body, even if it is worth the hardship. The witches have made up their minds that no matter what the training is, they will do their best to pass it.
When Maier and the others came to the dungeon, Xiaoye and Xiaobird hadn't had time to leave. Yishan didn't feel surprised when she saw the two, but the two of them felt a little weak after seeing Yishan, and hurriedly stood aside obediently, not even daring to take a breath.
Yishan cleared her throat in front of the prison fence and spoke sharply to the witches.
"You are all guilty! Damn it! No right to live in the world! But the Xiaohu family can't bear to kill them all, and now give you a chance to live. If anyone wishes, I will sell him to the princess of the kingdom of Egus and save his life. If not, then don't blame me for being ruthless! β
This set of arguments was discussed between Yishan and Maier on the way to the dungeon. Yishan felt that in order to fight for freedom, the evil witches would definitely choose to be adopted by Maier, and they might mix in with evildoers, which would be unfavorable to Maier. Therefore, Yishan decided to say some cruel words first, so that the evil witches felt that they might not be able to survive if they actively chose to be adopted, so that those wicked people who were afraid of death would not blend into Myer's team.
Yishan's trust and kindness made Maier feel guilty again, and if it weren't for Urlis quietly tugging at his arm beside him, he wouldn't have been able to act.
The development of things was completely different from what Xiao Ye and Xiao Bird said, and the evil witch girls looked at the two of them in unison, and when they saw that the two of them shook their heads desperately, they barely calmed down and did not make a sound.
Yishan noticed the small movements of Xiaoye and Xiaobird, and glared at the two fiercely. The two of them were frightened to death by this stare, and hurriedly cast a distressed gaze at Myer. Myr was afraid that Yishan would notice his and Ullis's plan, so she quickly stood up and said.
"Your Excellency the City Lord gave you a chance to live, don't you cherish it?! If you want to live, stand up! No matter how late it is, there will be no chance! β
Mel and Ullis's goal is to get these witches, and whether they accept the adoption or are willing to sell their freedom, the result is the same. In this way, Maier also hopes to screen out the cowardly or undesirable witches, so as to ensure the average quality of the witches after the incorporation.
However, the witches were indifferent to these words, and they didn't know about the seizure plan, and now it was not easy for them to trust Xiaoye and Xiaobird's words under such high pressure.
Lan Ning, who was standing on the side, guessed that the two of them had already given the evil witches qi in advance after seeing Xiao Ye and Xiao Bird shaking their heads at the captives. But she didn't think much about it, she just thought that Xiao Ye and Xiao Bird knew about it and wanted to save a few more companions.
Yishan also sensed something wrong, but she didn't expect that Maier would deceive herself with Ulis. Once again, her trust made Maier feel guilty, and he wanted to tell Yishan the truth immediately, but if he did, the relationship between Euris and Yishan would definitely deteriorate again.
It's all my fault...... I shouldn't have done that in the first place.
Mel regretted it, but there was no turning back from the bow, and he couldn't turn backβat least not yet.
I can only find a way to redeem it later!
Maier took a deep breath and said the lines that Yishan had arranged for him.
"Do you all want to die?"
The witches remained silent.
"Since you are not afraid of death, I will fulfill you!" Yishan sneered, "Someone!" Take them out and cut them down! β
Of course, this is just acting. The guards who stormed the dungeon had already received orders, just take them to the open space of the City Lord's Mansion and put on a show to scare them. As long as it is written that the shrine maidens do not run, they will not cut off their heads.
The acting skills of the guards were so good that the evil witches thought that they were really going to die, and they were all so frightened that their faces were like ashes, and some of them couldn't even stand up, they were carried out by the guards. But even then, no one begged for mercy, and no one resented Xiaoye and Xiaoyu.
After the witches were taken to a clearing in the City Lord's Mansion, the guards drew their swords and raised them above their heads, waiting for Yishan's order.
After Yishan led everyone to the open space unhurriedly, she couldn't bear to scare these girls anymore, so she shouted "kill" loudly.
After hearing Yishan's order, the minds of the girls kneeling in the open space went blank. Some of the more fragile ones passed out directly, and the rest also peed their pants.
After receiving the order, the guards decisively put their swords into their sheaths and stood motionless in the execution position waiting for instructions on the next step. Yishan raised her right hand and waved it to the right, and the guards retreated to the side.
Yishan winked at Maier, who knew it was time to make her appearance, so she cleared her throat and said loudly to the girls.
"Can you hear me?!"
The girls who had not yet broken free from the fear of death did not react to Myer's voice, and in desperation, he could only raise his voice and repeat it.
"Can you hear me?!!"
Only then did the girls realize that they didn't seem to be dead, and the still awake people subconsciously turned their eyes to Myer, waiting for the next step with a dull face. When Maier first shouted, Yishan had the unconscious people awakened by pouring water on them so that they could hear Maier's speech.
"If you can hear me, it means you're still alive! You have proved your innocence with courage, and in that case you will be spared death! But after all, you are guilty of sin, and even if the death penalty is forgiven, I can't easily let you leave here! Now I'm giving you a chance to regain your freedom! Anyone who is willing to follow me and be loyal to me will be set free! Does anyone want to?! β
The girls exchanged glances and gathered into a phalanx around Kugi Thirty-three as fast as they could. The maidens knelt in the phalanx and bowed down to Maier under the leadership of Kugi Thirty-three.
"Thank you for the master's grace not to kill!"
Jiumu Thirty-three took the lead and spoke, and then all the girls shouted this sentence in unison.
"Thank you for the master's grace of not killing!!!!"
Euris quietly glanced at Yishan, and saw that there was a smile on her face, and she didn't have any doubts about this matter, so she was completely relieved.
After that, it will be a three-day training, and after three days, Maier will lead them out of Liangyue City and wait for me at Big Rabbit Mountain under the pretext of training. The day after Mel's departure, I settled Xinye and her brother, and also took people to set off, and Yishan was caught off guard!
After that, it's time for me and Maier!
Just when Ulis thought she had won the battle, Myer's next words froze her smile that had not yet emerged.
"Yishan, Your Excellency the Witch Chiefess, I have something to say to you."
Mel's voice was heavy, and his eyes were full of apologies as he looked at Euris. At the moment when she met Myer's eyes, Uris knew that Yishan's innocence had softened Myer's heart.
He wants to tell us what we have planned?
With Ullis's understanding of Maier, even if Maier couldn't bear to continue to deceive Yishan, she would not do such a thing. She felt that Maier should be trying to quietly pull Yishan and Lanning into the plan to compensate for his debt to them.
What about me?
Uris felt a pain in her heart, and tears almost burst out of her eyes. But even at this time, Euris is still thinking about Myer. She held back her tears, and she didn't even have red circles under her eyes, so as not to let Yishan notice something unusual.
Euris is right, Maier will not hurt Yishan for the sake of Euris, but in the same way, he will not hurt Euris for the sake of Yishan. Euris had overestimated her place in Myer's heart, which is why she had such an idea.
In fact, Maier wasn't trying to pull Yishan and Lanning into the plan he and Euris had made, he was the way he was because of guilt. He looked for Yishan and Lan Ning, just to ask a few questions.
"Uh...... How do you say it? A few questions popped into my head just now, and they were about the evil shrine maiden and the Black Shrine...... I'm not going to meddle in the affairs of the Black Shrine anymore, but the feeling of living with questions is too uncomfortable, so I still want to ask them out. β
"Excuse me."
As long as Mel doesn't meddle in the affairs of the witch, Lanning is willing to answer any questions he asks. After Yishan heard Maier say again that she would not interfere in the affairs of the Black Shrine, she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
Teng Yan returned the original letter, which meant that he would not care about this matter, and only Yishan knew about this matter now. I don't know what kind of mentality it is, Yishan now wants to encourage Maier to investigate the Black Shrine, and thinks that if the results of the investigation can be found, it would be best to even wipe out the Black Shrine in one nest.
"Say hello then."
After getting permission from the two of them, Maier gathered his thoughts and began to ask questions.
"Your Excellency the Witch Chief, may I ask if the Shrine has been surrounded and suppressed since the appearance of the Evil Witch?"
Lan Ning shook his head lightly and replied, "Yes." β
Maier asked, "What was the result?" β
Lan Ning smiled bitterly and replied, "It didn't work much. β
Maier nodded, and asked, "Why?" β
"I don't know." Lan Ning sighed lightly, "I was sent to the Twenty-Nine Village after I was recommended as the Elder Witch, and I don't know much about the internal affairs of the shrine. All I know is that the shrine has carried out several large-scale sieges and suppressions of evil witches, and I heard that the few kills are pitiful, and they have not even been captured. β
Maier thought for a while, then turned his head and asked Yishan, "Yishan, has the Xiaohu family done anything to the evil witch?" β
Yishan recalled it seriously and replied: "It seems that there has been an encirclement and suppression, but the results are not big." When I took office, I also led people to encircle and suppress the evil witches in the territory, but they were too cunning and always ran into the mountains, and the cavalry had no way to take them. They were very familiar with the terrain, and the infantry could not catch anyone when they went up. β
Speaking of this, Yishan hesitated for a moment, and finally prepared to tell Maier about Teng Yan's resignation.
