Chapter 1 Destiny is uneven
"Probably the most common mistake humans make is to be too polite to strangers and too harsh to close ones. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" The news in his brain made Qi Gefei's heart ache for a while, and he rubbed his eyebrows and gave an order: "Record this incident, reset the contact method, and set a new standard of action!" ”
"Yes, recorded!"
A closed hatch opened, and inside came a naked man with black hair, a tall and burly body, strong and slender limbs, and a golden ratio figure enough to make any woman crazy about it. He moved his hands and feet, nodded in satisfaction, and then a black carapace emerged, and after a wriggling moment, it turned into a finely crafted ornate armor.
"Now, it's time to meet our new friends."
Wood is in his early forties, but he is already a silver-level warrior, and although he is not as talented as those big families, he is still proud of himself. After all, as a civilian, he was able to achieve such results without any resources, and even made many people think that he had mastered some kind of secret that could not be passed on.
"The secret? Of course! Wood replied, "Perseverance and never giving up is my secret!" ”
The truth is sometimes more ridiculous than a lie, so no one believes it. But never give up, this is the principle he has carried out throughout his life.
When the black-armored soldiers attacked them, he didn't give up.
When his subordinates died one by one, he did not give up.
When he was cornered, leaving only him and Master Onassis, he still didn't give up...... Even if the other party has completely lost his fighting spirit at the moment, he only knows how to lie on the ground like a girl and cry.
There was a flash of disdain in Wood's expression, but as a retainer of the Onassis family for generations, he couldn't say much. His mission is to protect the other party, even if it is to sacrifice his own life.
After all, his wife and daughter still have to live in the territory of the Onassis family.
Shaking his head, putting these thoughts aside, Wood crushed a hedron and a pale blue protective barrier enveloped them, and the black-armored warriors slashed a few times, but they couldn't hurt them in the slightest.
"Give it up, this is the protective barrier of a legendary-level mage, and only a legend can break it." Wood maintained his usual style, and even when surrounded by enemies, he did not give up. "I apologize for taking the lead in attacking you just now, and I am willing to compensate you accordingly. The eldest grandson of the Onassis family, rather than bearing the wrath of an ancient family, it is believed that it is a wise choice for both you and me. ”
"I am Lucerne Onassis, a nobleman! I ask for aristocratic treatment, you can't kill me! As long as you don't kill me, my grandfather will agree to whatever you want! Young Master Lu Sen also suddenly realized and hurriedly shouted.
The black-armored soldiers were unmoved, one by one like statues, one or two were just gone, but hundreds of people were like this, which was very terrifying.
Damn, which family's private soldier is this? Wood cursed in his heart. Thinking of the opponent's fearless attack just now and the current uniform move, it fully shows that this is the elite of the elite.
He compared it with the Imperial Guards, and found that even the aces of the empire were not as good as these black-armored soldiers.
Considering that this place is located in the corpse tide area outside the border, no one usually comes...... Isn't this a goddamn rebellion by a royal family in private?
Wood was shocked, but he quickly shook his head and put the thought behind him. Even if this were the case, he would have to pretend not to know, so that the other party might let them go for the sake of the Onassis family...... At least I can spare that little master.
"If you can't call the shots, can you ask your superiors?" Wood asked again.
The black-armored soldier still didn't react. This strange scene made Wood and Young Master Lu Sen tremble, although the protective barrier would not be easily breached, it could only last for half a day, and when the time came, they would undoubtedly become the souls of each other's swords, just like the rest of the squad.
Finally, the black-armored soldier moved, and a hole leaked through the encirclement, and a tall man in armor walked over.
"I'm the person in charge here, and now I'm asking, you answer, understand?" The person who came was Qi Gefei.
Wood could tell at a glance that although the other party was tall and wearing armor, he was definitely not a warrior, at most he was a strong man. This discovery made him feel happy in his heart, at least it showed that this was the real ruler and not the commander of this group of black-armored soldiers. He had been afraid that the person who came to negotiate was a stunned soldier who had no sense of the overall situation.
Wood hurriedly stopped the young master Lu Sen who wanted to speak on the side, for fear that his plea would cause the other party to be unhappy, but it was better to come honestly as requested at this time.
"Yes, we understand!" Wood winked at Young Master Lucson, meaning that it was up to him to negotiate.
"You belong!"
"The reconnaissance team under the Sixth Division of the Third Army of the Empire."
"Purpose!"
"Investigate the reasons for the recent decrease in the number of corpses in the garrison area."
"Why are you attacking my men? They should have shown kindness to you. ”
Wood was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Misunderstanding, it was the accompanying mage's spell that was accidentally shot." "He's lying, or what? Frankly, the young master Lu Sen didn't know the height of the sky, and he took the lead in attacking regardless of dissuasion, wanting to compete for credit?
"Really?" Qi Gefei smiled, noncommittal to this obviously lie, and Wood breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party did not tear his face, it proves that the other party may not have the intention to delve into this matter, perhaps the name of the Onassis family makes the other party have scruples.
Sure enough, Qi Gefei said: "You and I both understand the truth of the matter, and I don't want to pursue it anymore." But I want compensation, you know what I mean, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, Wood and Young Master Lu Sen were both determined in their hearts. Although the world is different, they all have the same sentence: what can be solved with money is not a problem. Young Master Lu Sen also wiped away the tears on his face, tidied up his clothes, restored the elegance of the nobleman, and said reservedly but slightly arrogantly: "I admit my failure, make your request, this is what you deserve." ”
Wood almost broke out in a cold sweat, please, their lives are still in each other's hands, how to do it is like their own side is the winner.
But unexpectedly, the other party did not get angry, but thought about it seriously and said: "One of my subordinates died because of this, so my request is very simple, one life will be compensated." ”
Young Master Lu Sen was stunned for a moment, but quickly thought that this was a gesture of favor from the other party. He smiled proudly in his heart, and his face became even more arrogant: "The murderer has died in the melee just now, and I deeply regret it. However, I can compensate you with an additional two thousand gold coins...... And, of course, my friendship! As he spoke, he bared his white teeth and smiled what he thought was perfect, but he didn't know that his face was covered with black ash and tear stains, and he looked nondescript and funny.
Qi Gefei didn't care, but shook his head regretfully and said, "I'm sorry, maybe you didn't hear my words clearly." I mean, I've lost a subordinate and need someone to pay for my life. ”
Young Master Lu Sen was stunned again, as if he felt that things were a little bad, he couldn't maintain his smile anymore, and stammered: "But, the murderer is dead, and he was still killed by your soldiers." ”
"You resisted arrest just now, and I have the right to kill you!" Qi Gefei took a step forward and said word by word: "And now, it's compensation!" ”
Wood swallowed and foamed, and he suddenly felt underestimated the man in front of him.
Young Master Lu Sen also suddenly realized, and said with difficulty: "You mean to ......"
"Yes, I have one death, so you have to die one too, it's fair! And the rest of the one survived! ”
Lucson set his eyes on Wood.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Wood scolded in his heart, this was the other party's trick, but it obviously moved the young master Lusen. Isn't it a matter of a commoner and a nobleman, who dies and who lives? If he died, it would be fine if the other party could let Master Lu Sen go, but the other party only promised 'the rest, survive', but did not promise to let go of the rest.
Its sinister intentions are self-evident, and the other party has no intention of letting anyone leave at all!
Well, calm down! Although it seems to be in a desperate situation, don't give up, as long as you don't give up, you will eventually find a glimmer of life.
Think about it, with the status of the young master Lu Sen, if you don't return to the barracks for a long time, someone will definitely come to look for it, here is a legendary-level protective enchantment, and the magic elements in the air are like lights in the night, any mage can feel it...... That's right, that's it!
Wood was reassured, and he guessed Qi Gefei's plan. The other party definitely doesn't have the ability to break the legendary protective barrier at this moment, but he doesn't want to be discovered here. Since you can't smash the barrier head-on, the only thing you can do is kill your own energy provider of the barrier! So they don't have to worry about it at all now, as long as it drags on, it will be the other party who will eventually lose.
"Master Onassis, I see. They can't do anything with us, as long as we ......" Before Wood could finish his sentence, a dagger plunged into his chest. Originally, it was impossible for this kind of rough attack to hurt him, but most of his energy and strength were maintaining this barrier, and he was completely defenseless against Young Master Lusen, and he was finally hit by a blow.
"For ...... Why......? Obviously, as long as you insist...... Stick with it and you'll be ......" Wood's strength quickly drained from the wound in his chest, and the sharp pain caused him to bite the corners of his mouth, and his mouth was full of bitterness.
"Ann...... Rest assured. Young Master Lu Sen seemed to be killing his own subordinates with his own hands for the first time, and he was a little nervous, and his voice trembled. But in addition to the guilt, there is a faint sense of satisfaction. Sacrificing others to protect oneself reflects the value of a superior person, my life is much more important than yours!
"I will take care of your wife and children, you can go with confidence!" As he said this, an indescribable pleasure rose from his heart, a hundred times sweeter than that of an immature virgin.
The pale blue protective barrier dimmed, and Wood entered the countdown to his life. Lu Sen smiled gracefully at Qi Gefei and said, "Can I leave?" I need new horses and guards, and I'm sure you'll have them ready for me, right? ”
Qi Gefei ignored him, but squatted down in front of Wood and took the hedron in his hand, it was such a small thing that made him helpless, it was really curious. As soon as he looked up, he found that Wood was staring at him firmly, and he said flatly: "The ideas that he has adhered to all his life are not worth mentioning in the face of privilege, and they are easily smashed to pieces, how about it, this is not a pleasant feeling, right?" It's a pity that you may not have a chance to meet this young master again below, but I want to keep him here as a guest...... I mean, forever. ”
Wood's eyes lit up, then darkened completely.
"So, let's make a room for our new guests!" After Qi Gefei finished speaking, a black-armored soldier stepped forward and knocked Young Master Lu Sen to the ground with one punch.
