Chapter 350: Harvest
Historically, Angus had made a promise to give everything to a certain fox girl, but this promise was largely not so formal - the fox girl unilaterally felt so. www.biquge.info Of course, the word "historical" is just a casual and joking statement.
And it wasn't until Angus was crowned and looked back at Carlil from a distance that it really felt like Angus was really interested in doing so. Although the distance between the two is far from seeing each other's eyes clearly, and the difference in height also makes the sun shine a little bit in Kaliel's eyes, but that look is not only reflected in the eyes, even at this distance, Karil can still clearly feel the meaning conveyed by Angus.
Maybe at the same time, the other people in the square were aware of it.
In Kaliel's view, this kind of promise is nothing more than a blank check for the girl, whether it is fulfilled in the future or not, at the right time to say the original promise at the same time, it has already achieved the effect that the sentence should achieve. Whether or not such a promise will be fulfilled is completely different from at the time afterwards. Neither would Carlil believe in such a promise...... Or rather, the fulfillment of this promise made her feel even more troublesome.
So when Kahlil saw the signs, she was a little worried in her heart. I'm afraid that Angus will think too much for a while, and really do something that doesn't want the country, if this really makes a fuss, it will be really fun. At this time, if Angus suddenly said something, no one around could stop him, and at that time, he really made an international joke on everyone.
Fortunately, Angus is not such an impulsive person, and this worry is a bit unnecessary. If it weren't for Angus's glance back at the critical moment, Karil really wouldn't have worried about this problem. Angus really just shook for a moment, very emotionally, and immediately adjusted his state and began the second half of the ceremony.
This part of the process is more boring, especially for Karil, but for many people present, this process of being crowned an official is the reward for their struggle to this day, so under the solemnity of the whole scene, there is a kind of frenzy that has been forcibly suppressed.
All kinds of dignitaries, military commanders, etc., and some guys who have made excellent contributions, a large number of people whose names Karil has barely heard have received rewards from the new king one after another, and these guys who are not familiar with Karil are the mainstay of supporting the high-level operation of this country, but it has almost nothing to do with Karil herself anyway, everything is just the curtain call of the entire war before in her eyes.
In fact, what Kahlil is looking forward to more now is after all this is over......
The guy he had captured just a few hours earlier, the one who had almost stabbed himself with a dagger, was still waiting in the Hobbes dungeon, and he had information that interested him. Compared to that, these cutscenes don't make any sense at all.
But due to the limitations of her identity and the current occasion, Karil had to stay here honestly, which was like waiting for the leader to speak boringly, which made people feel uncomfortable waiting.
All kinds of lengthy rituals and processes go down, and the news that can be listened to in summary is nothing more than that of yourself and a few people around you. Matthew and his gang retained the Caryl Personal Guard, but as a reward they were given a small plot of land near Ao Yala.
Angelo naturally has another list of titles here, and these imaginary things are completely meaningless to him, but they are also indispensable. Everyone walks around the form, you know I know things are like this, and I seem to be solemnly fooling this thing by playing haha. Anyway, what Angelo really wants, the new king probably won't be able to give it.
It's just that this time it really cleared the way for the Holy See forces to penetrate deep into Scaloa.
And the people who are usually close to Kaliel, Red Lotus because the identity of the assassin is not suitable for the table, Qingci, Raymond, and Florosa are also some subtle reasons, none of them have been mentioned, and they can give some benefits in private, which is not very suitable at this time.
In the end, Karil himself did not go up alone, but directly read out the reward according to the Andris family, so it is okay, Karil does not like such an occasion, especially in front of the whole country to shake his tail, it can still be counted......
Even the group of alchemists led by Da Oyala were richly rewarded.
It's like a happy ending to the story, all the people who deserve their reward get their reward, and the guy who wants to destroy it doesn't get his goal. Everything is going in a better direction, as if all the twists and turns have come to an end.
Maybe it's really just "looking".
The whole ceremony didn't end until near evening, and then the whole city was revelry, which Karil had left far behind.
After the main ceremony, Karil went home to change into her simple clothes, took a brief rest, and then pushed off all the other activities after that, citing fatigue, and hurried towards the dungeon. She is now excited to see another major show of the day and meet the "star" of this show.
The third dungeon in Hobbs City is a unique part of it. In addition to the heavy stone bricks, behind the stone bricks there is a layer of alchemical waste made of waste materials. These gray-black things are all residues left over from alchemy, almost insoluble and non-reactive residues, which have stabilized themselves and are almost impossible to destroy except for hard warping, and with a thickness thicker than stone bricks, they form a solid dungeon that is almost immune to all elements.
If it weren't for the fact that these waste residues often have an odor that cannot be removed or are slightly toxic, they can have more utilization value. Instead of being used to hold some special prisoners, as is the case now.
Like this Assassin.
When Carlil meets Khloe in the dungeon, Khloe is visibly much haggard than before, but in good spirits, far from being comparable to his haggard appearance.
This was a bit of a surprise to Karil.
There are two torches stuck in the walls, and the light is barely enough to make people see the contents of the dungeon room, and occasionally the torches make a little crackling sound, which makes it seem that the underground is not so quiet and terrible. The dungeon where Kohler was held was split in half by a pitch-black fence, with an old wooden table running inside and out, half inside and half outside, with items scattered on one side and a chair on each side.
"It's a pleasure to see you here." Kahlil grinned, pulled out a chair and sat down, waving the guard to stand outside the door and close the door first.
Kohler was dressed in a dirty, tattered robe, a pair of heavy chains shackled to his wrists, his right ankle also locked, and the other end buried deep in the stone wall, just long enough to reach the chair. Khloe was a little unhurried, dragging the chains and pulling out his chair and sitting down face-to-face with Kahlier.
"I have what you want." Khloe didn't talk much nonsense, and said quietly clearing his throat.
"Who are you yet?" Kahlil picked up the iron kettle on the table and shook it, opened the lid and sniffed it again, and to make sure that it was not water that had been sitting for years, she poured the water into the worn-out wooden cup and placed it on the side of the table across the iron bar.
"Kohler. Akshar ...... Kohler, the astrologer of the Holy See, took the cup, and didn't care so much, took a big sip of it, and then tapped the cup lightly on the table: "Let me go, I won't appear again, and I'll give you the secret - I believe that after you have it, you won't care about me anymore." ”
Kohler's plan is very straightforward, but even if he takes a little more detours, he will eventually return to this plan, it is better to simply save everyone's effort, anyway, he will die no matter what, this is still an optimistic estimate.
Kahlil pinched her chin with ease, and the big fox tail swayed behind her, as if she was really chatting with an old friend.
"I want you to know what you're doing" She also poured herself a glass of water, although it was a little cloudy, but it was not unacceptable, and it didn't disturb her current Yaxing in the slightest.
"Of course," Kohler nodded slowly and affirmatively, "...... It will be something you want to know. ”
Khloe almost uttered more about knowing Carlil's secrets, which in his immediate reaction might be used by Khloe to show that he knew enough to prove that he couldn't be mistaken about Carlil.
But he immediately realizes that on the other hand, he has also proved that he knows too much, and even if Karil gets the "key", he is more likely not to let himself go.
With a subtle expression, Kahlil raised her eyebrows and shook her head slightly, as if she saw Kohler's slight pause, before she said, "So everything about these people before was planned by you, and the target was me at the beginning?" ”
If there is no special reason, the benefits of assassinating yourself are far less than those of assassinating Angus, and you basically have no real power except for Ao Yala on the surface, and the benefits of assassinating Angus are more cost-effective from all aspects. And choosing to take the opportunity to sneak attack yourself at the last moment is more likely to target yourself from the beginning.
And the reason why he chose himself as a goal instead of Angus is precisely because of the "seed" in his body.
That's why Kohler will go to great lengths to create an opportunity to try to sneak up on him, so he will use that strange dagger as a weapon, so he will quickly make the decision to sell the secret as a bargaining chip after a miss, and even bite it directly without any confirmation This is a good bargaining chip that he will consider.
So it was all thought out from the beginning, and in Kohler's plan, it was just that the final development went in the direction that he didn't do, not the most successful side.
Korram was silent in the face of Carlil's question, he didn't intend to answer this kind of question in a straightforward manner, it had no effect but to provoke the other party, especially when Carlil had an unclear attitude, silent acquiescence was the best answer.
"Your safety isn't as ironclad as it seems," Kohler was silent for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back and let out a long sigh with the deepest breath he had. This kind of thrill that is close at hand, like a line between heaven and hell, is still a little too intense, and he really can't help it: "The astrological chart shows that there is a 'companion star' with a unique trajectory that will meet your natal star in the near future, and I have always thought this is a rare opportunity...... It's an omen...... Well, I was wrong. The omen is not success, and this companion star will not be me. ”
"So now, you're going to give it your life in exchange for awakening it?" Kahlil said, a finger running a circle on the rim of the cup.
"No one else knew, it took me a long time to get the content, and a longer time to study its scales - and the lone copies had been burned, and I was the only one who knew." Kohler whispered, "With it, you can really get the power you have, and at that time, why bother with me as an ordinary person?" ”
"Sounds reasonable......" Karil stroked her chin playfully.
Of course, Kohler came prepared, he must know how to awaken the seed of divinity, at least he thinks he knows how to awaken, if he succeeds in grabbing this thing, of course Kohler will activate it himself, and now that he misses, it can be his own lifeline, thinking about it does make some sense.
"It's just a pity that I don't think so."
Kahlil shook her head regretfully.
But this time, instead of responding to Karil's movements, Khloe fainted, knocked over the cup in his hand, and fell headlong on the table. (To be continued.) )
