476. Negotiations with the Protoss Council
After the Great War, the Light Templar and the Dark Templar began to work together to form a council, and the current chief executive is the High Templar Thrandis, as well as several others.
The trio, led by the Templars, entered the council and met with a group of council members.
Zeratu is okay, after all, he is his own people, no matter if there is a big contradiction, it is only an internal contradiction among the people, but Kailigan is different, this is an external enemy, no matter at any time, he is ostracized.
All the Protoss people present looked at Kelrigan with angry eyes.
In addition, he looked at Chen Chen with puzzled eyes, secretly speculating about what the purpose of a human race came here.
The first to send a spiritual link was naturally Thrandis: "Zeratul, the great Dark Templar, we all thought you had died on the battlefield, but we didn't think that you would bring the Empress of the Blades and a human race to the council today, what are your plans?" ”
"Your Excellency the Chief Executive Officer." Zeratu stepped forward and responded with spiritual communication: "The representatives of the three clans are gathered here for the sake of the common future of the three clans, because the three clans are facing the threat of extinction at the same time. ”
"Perdition?"
As soon as these words came out, the Protoss present communicated privately one after another, and they all looked at each other.
"Perdition?" Thrandis waved his hand lightly and looked at Zeratul suspiciously, "Great Dark Templar, please don't be alarmist. ”
"This is not alarmism!" Zeratul shook his head slightly, and continued to explain: "I saw the hybrid in the valley, the fallen Sarnagar, Amon, he has already made a move. ”
Amon?
There was another whisper of the Protoss present.
The matter of Sarnagar and Amon has long been no secret, the meaning of this name is destruction, and now Zeratul mentions this name, which also makes everyone have to pay attention to it.
Thrandis could only wave his hand again to keep everyone's attention focused, and then there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes: "Valley Star, if I'm not mistaken, it's the main star of the Zerg, right, Queen of Blades?" ”
Kelligan didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"That's easy to explain." Thrandis laughed lightly: "Amon's goal is to eliminate the Zerg of Sarnagar and the Blade Empress who is not under his control, and his purpose is to take revenge. ”
"CEO?" Hearing this, Zeratul couldn't help but be stunned.
"The affairs of the Zerg have nothing to do with our Protoss." Thorlandis's eyes flashed with a gleam: "At the beginning, the Empress of Blades led the bugs to slaughter our people, and now, we will not shed blood for our enemies. ”
"Your Excellency, do you really think this is a Zerg thing?" The Blade Empress sighed lightly and couldn't help but interject: "Yamon's goal is not just the Zerg, he wants to destroy all three races, and the Protoss can't be left alone. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, CEO." Zeratu also comforted on the side: "Amon's attack on the Zerg is just the beginning, his purpose is not only the Zerg, in fact, the most important thing is to get the Sarnagar artifact, so you still can't understand?" ”
"Sarnagar artifact?" Hearing this keyword, Thrandis couldn't help but sit up straight: "You mean, Amon knows where the artifact is?" And, you know? ”
"I'm investigating, and I only know that part of it is in the Valley Star, and Yamon is attacking the Zerg for this." Zeratul shook his head helplessly: "Fortunately, we managed to stop it and recapture the artifact fragment back ......"
"Your Excellency, CEO." As he spoke, Zeratul looked at Thrandis eagerly again: "Now, you should understand the seriousness of the matter, although our three clans have fought endlessly in the past, but at this critical moment of life and death, we must abandon our prejudices and unite to deal with the crisis together." ”
"No way!" But he didn't want to, Thrandis still refused: "Our Protoss is already very weak and can't afford to consume it anymore, I can't let our people bleed anymore, let the powerful Terran Zerg bear this matter." ”
"Your Excellency, CEO?" Zeratul didn't expect things to come to this point, and he couldn't help but be unwilling.
"Your Excellency, do you really hope that after Amon has eliminated the Terran Zerg, he will come and destroy you?" Kelly Gan also tried to make a final effort: "At that time, you want to find an ally, and you can't find it. ”
"If that's the case, it's our fate." Thrandis looked extremely relaxed: "If the powerful Terrans and Zerg are unable to resist Amun, what can we weak Protoss do, this matter does not need to be discussed anymore, please leave." ”
Zeratul was still a little unwilling, but by this time, a group of Templars had already stepped forward to surround several people, and the intention to send them off was very obvious.
Seeing this, Zeratu knew that there was no room for recovery, and couldn't help but sigh and turn his head.
At this time, Chen Chen suddenly sent out a spiritual communication: "Respected Dark Templar, you have been wandering around, and you rarely have the opportunity to return to El, since you finally came once, you should go to the temple for sacrifices." ”
"That's right!" Hearing this, Zeratul's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately turned to look at Thrandis: "Your Excellency, Honorable CEO, I want to go to the temple to worship before leaving, and I hope to get your approval." ”
"Sacrificial ......" Thrandis's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he glanced at the two of them suspiciously.
However, she did not refuse this reasonable request: "Yes, you should go to the sacrifice, so let the Templar accompany you." ”
Led by a group of Templars, the trio left the council and headed for the temple.
Thrandis sat in his position, looking at Chen Chen's back suspiciously, looking thoughtful.
Is it a sacrifice?
……
The trio were led by the Templars to the entrance of the temple, where the Templars stopped Chen Chen and Kailigan, leaving only a passage for Zeratul to enter.
As if noticing the confusion of the trio, one of the leading Templars explained: "The temple of the Protoss only allows people from their own clan to enter the sacrifice, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, so please wait outside." ”
In this way, the three of them have nothing to say, and they can only abide by other people's rules on their territory.
"Well, then, wait for me outside." Zeratu glanced at the two of them and nodded lightly to show reassurance.
However, when his gaze swept over Chen Chen, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, bringing up a playful look.
At the same time, Chen Chen felt that Zeratu had established a one-sided spiritual connection with himself, which was a secret way of communication that no one else knew except for the two parties.
Chen Chen showed a smile of understanding and didn't say anything.
At that moment, Zeratul turned around and walked slowly into the temple gate.
Chen Chen and Kai Ligan stood calmly in place, seemingly without any extra plans, as if they were really waiting here with peace of mind.
However, a group of Templars were very careful, holding the gate steadily, closely monitoring their every move, beware of anything unexpected from the two aliens.
But there was no movement between the two.
Chen Chen stood calmly in place, his consciousness following Zeratul's movement and gradually penetrating into the temple.
Zeratul walked slowly, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, and entered a passage to the deepest part.
Is it there?
Chen Chen retracted his mind and secretly glanced at Kelligan next to him.
Kelly willingly comprehended, quietly put her hand behind her back, condensed a trace of ghostly energy, and copied a Chen Chen's illusion.
At the same time, Chen Chen turned on the void invisibility and disappeared in place, and the illusion naturally covered the place where he had stood before, as if nothing had happened.
With Kai Ligan's strong strength, the copied illusion also has a strong bewilderment surname, and the group of Templars at the gate did not notice that Chen Chen had disappeared invisibly, and what stood there was just a false illusion.
Chen Chen slowly passed by a group of Templars in a state of void invisibility, still not being discovered, so he easily entered the interior of the temple, and then walked in the direction of Zeratul's psychic link.
Zeratul was also waiting for Chen Chen to come over, and soon, the two converged, and at this time, Zeratul was standing in front of a wall.
Seeing this, Chen Chen understood everything, and immediately set his eyes on the wall: "This is the secret door to the underground, right?" ”
"Yes!" Zeratul stepped aside and groped around the wall.
With a thud, the walls parted naturally, revealing a secret door, and behind the door was a downward slope, pitch black and I don't know how deep.
"You realize there's something wrong with Thrandis, right?" Chen Chen glanced at Zeratu: "So, you didn't tell him that the artifact fragment was under the temple." ”
"If you are deceived a lot, you will learn to be smart." Zeratul shook his head bitterly: "Thrandis is a Light Sanctuary that I admire very much, she is one of the few people who is willing to cooperate with the Dark Sanctuary, but her attitude just now makes me have to doubt. ”
"Anyway, let's get the artifact first." Chen Chen nodded, not wanting Zeratu to recall the unpleasant past, so he changed the topic at the moment: "Let's talk about other things later, if you get this fragment, there will only be one piece left." ”
"Let's go!" Zeratul also nodded.
Just as the two of them were about to take a step, Kelligan suddenly sent a message with a telepathic link: "Thrandis brought someone here, it looks like a bad person, what now?" ”
The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with horror at the same time.
Exposed? She already knew we were coming to the temple for some other purpose?
It was at this time that Kelrigan sent another message, as if urging him: "Thrandis has discovered the vision, she has declared that Zeratul is a traitor for bringing aliens into the temple without permission, and has ordered the Templars to storm the temple and arrest him. ”
Zeratul's heart tightened again.
Regardless of whether there is a problem with Thrandis's identity, it is an indisputable fact that he brought a foreign race into the temple by himself, and the Templars outside will not care so much, and they must have pointed the finger at themselves. (To be continued.) )
