Chapter 12: Parting Ways-1
Without any sound, the three rows of chairs automatically formed a circle in a short time, and everyone sat on the chairs without moving. A circular "round table" rises out of thin air on the floor within the circle, and the height is perfect for the chair, so that the chairer can comfortably place his hands on the table.
Emperor Eric tapped his fingers on the table, "Who do you think is the Light Source Saint Emissary?" ”
Empress Tribes asked softly, "Your Majesty, are there any other mysteries in the labyrinth diagram?" We've all been studying it for thousands of years, and there's really no way out. ”
"Queen, now is not the time to discuss the labyrinth diagram. We all know that there is no way out of the maze diagram. Erica's shrill voice rang out, "Now the key is to select the Holy Messenger of the Light Source. ”
"It's hard to tell the difference. Alice seemed meticulous and intelligent, tried every path, and also marked the direction and serial number. Grand Duke Littess said lightly, "But Wen Ying solved the problem with a few drops of water." ”
Grand Duke Quirrell said disdainfully: "Don't think about it, the Holy Messenger of the Light Source must be Alice." The dwarf is opportunistic, but it's just luck. ”
"Luck?" A red-clothed elder smiled, "For thousands of years, who has ever thought of using a glass of water to find the path of the labyrinth?" ”
The other red-clothed elder's tone was full of disdain: "A yellow man, even among the slaves, is the most despicable yellow slave, how can he be a light source holy messenger!" ”
"According to records, the Holy Messengers of Light Source throughout history were all Caucasians." A female elder in red added.
The crowd argued.
Grand Duke Ivan was silent, thinking: Is it true that you have to pitch the ball to decide?
Emperor Eric listened silently. "That's it!" Emperor Eric suddenly raised his voice, his voice full of majesty, "Throw the ball and solve it." As he spoke, a white cylinder slowly rose from the center of the circular round table, and stopped when it reached the same height as the circular round table. The tip of the white cylinder is concave and resembles a basin with a bunch of small white balls in the basin. The white balls are smooth and shining brightly.
Emperor Eric nodded to Archduke Litus.
Grand Duke Litus expressed his understanding, only to see him stretch out his right hand and wave it at will, and the small white ball flew out of the basin and floated in the air.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can see clearly, a total of twenty-seven white balls." Archduke Litters waved his hand again, and the white balls fell into the basin one after another. "Red means Alice, green means Wen Ying. Let's go. With that, Grand Duke Litus stretched out his hand and pointed, and the top of the cylinder was enveloped by a pink ball of light.
Everyone stretched out their hands, red, green, yellow, blue, purple, orange, and blue, and all kinds of different colors of light shot from everyone's fingertips to the pink ball of light.
The Round Table consisted of the seven Grand Dukes of the Protoss Council and the thirteen elders of the Demon Elders' Council. Due to the noble status of the Protoss, each Grand Duke had two balls of voting rights, while each elder only had one ball of voting rights. Thus there are twenty-seven white balls in the basin.
Grand Duke Litus flicked his finger at the pink ball of light, and the ball of light vanished. I saw that in the disc, the originally white ball turned red or green. I saw three green balls mixed in a bunch of red balls. As soon as Grand Duke Litus raised his hand, the balls in the basin flew up from the plate and floated in mid-air.
"Twenty of the red ones, six of the green ones, because the Heartless Elders did not attend the meeting, and the white one." Grand Duke Litus said softly.
As soon as Archduke Littles spoke, the ball fell into the disc with a "thud". The cylinder descended slowly, and after a while, the ground returned to its original state.
"Alice is a light source saint." Emperor Eric said lightly, "What should Wen Ying do?" ”
"Killed, of course." Erica didn't hesitate.
Queen Emerald glanced at where Wen Ying was, "Killed?" Is this necessary? After all, it came from the earth, and moreover, the light source ball was the first time that two earthlings were sent. This is the will of the light source. Let's keep her. ”
"I agree with the Queen." Grand Duke Litas said slowly.
"Keep Wen Ying, so what is her identity?" A red-clothed elder asked, "After all, she is a human being, if she is not a light source holy envoy, in the heavenly realm, she can only be a slave." ”
Grand Duke Reeves snorted coldly, "Even if you are a slave, you are the most despicable slave." ”
And the people began to disagree again.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Ivan asks that Wen Ying be given to Ivan as a slave." A cold voice sounded, and the person who spoke spoke in a very respectful tone, but there was no respect in his tone. The cold tone seemed to pour cold water on the noisy argument.
The person who spoke was Grand Duke Ivan, seated at the right hand of Emperor Eric, who had been silent until then. Unlike the others, Grand Duke Ivan was blind, and he wore a black eyepatch with gold trim on his face, which made people feel weird.
Before Grand Duke Ivan's words fell, Grand Duke Litus continued: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Litus also has this intention, and wants to ask Your Majesty to reward Wen Ying as a slave for me. ”
The others seemed to be very jealous of Grand Duke Ivan, and except for Grand Duke Litus, everyone else stopped talking, and some looked at Grand Duke Lytes with uneasy eyes, as if they were worried about him daring to make the same request as Grand Duke Ivan. Others, however, looked at Archduke Litus with schadenfreude, as if they were watching a good show.
There was silence.
"Then give it to Grand Duke Ivan as a slave." Emperor Eric stood up and said lightly.
When everyone saw Emperor Eric get up, they also got up. After everyone got up, they saw that the circular round table and chairs were slowly sinking.
When the pink ball of light disappears, Wen Ying and Alice look at each other.
"Huh? How did the arrangement of the three rows of chairs on the platform become a round table? Wen Ying and Alice noticed that not only had the chairs on the platform changed, but the entire platform was slowly sinking, including the table and chairs in front of them, which were slowly sinking, and soon sank to the level of the ground, the floor returned to its original state, and the tables and chairs seemed to never exist.
Soon, Wen Ying and Alice noticed that the cylinder where they were was slowly descending.
A male attendant walked up to Wen Ying's side, "Please come with me." ”
The male attendant brought Wen Ying to the position where they had first stood on the cylinder, and Wen Ying felt the floor where she was standing slowly sinking, as if returning to the original cylindrical "room".
Feeling that the cylindrical room was descending, and Alice was still standing on it, Wen Ying said anxiously: "Why doesn't Alice come down with me?" ”
"Alice's messenger will stay on it." The attendant said softly.
"Alice on it?" Wen Ying asked, "Shall we go down and wait for Alice first?" ”
The male attendant looked at Wen Ying, with a look of pity on his face, and said softly, "Don't wait for Alice's messenger." You will take a different path in the future. ”
"Will we take a different path?" Wen Ying felt that the male attendant's expression was compassionate, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.
The male attendant said softly, "From now on, Alice is the Holy Messenger of the Light Source. ”
"Alice is a Light Source Saint Emissary?" Wen Ying repeated the attendant's words, "That...... So what am I? ”
"You are the slave of Grand Duke Ivan." The male attendant replied softly.
"What!" The attendant's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Wen Ying only felt that her brain was blank, "Alice is the Holy Messenger of the Light Source, and you are the slave of Grand Duke Ivan." ”
The male attendant seemed to be still talking, but Wen Ying was already stunned, and Wen Ying didn't seem to be able to hear what the male attendant was saying. In her ears and in her mind, there was only one sentence lingering: "Alice is the Holy Messenger of the Light Source, and you are the slave of Grand Duke Ivan." ”
