Chapter 400: Darkness of Darkness
"Winnie, why have you been so disturbed these days? Still worried about my business? ”
After taking the diluted and blended life essence potion, Herbert's physical injuries suddenly improved significantly, and he was already able to get out of bed and move like a normal person the next day, of course, if he wanted to recover to the best physical condition, I am afraid it would take at least a week to recuperate.
Before the new mission instructions were issued, Herbert had a rare leisurely time, which would have been a happy thing, but in the face of the uncertain task in the near future and Winnie's worried appearance all day, Herbert's mood can be imagined.
On this day, looking at Winnie, who was absentmindedly watering the flowers with a kettle in the garden, Herbert decided to relieve her.
However, Herbert guessed Winnie's mind wrong, in fact, what Winnie was most worried about these days was not his affairs, but that Xia Lan did not come to her at the appointed time.
According to her understanding of Xia Lan, he has always kept his promises, and what he said and what he promised can basically be kept and completed.
But what was the reason for him to go back on his word? Could it be that something happened to him?
She wanted to tell him about the preparation for the upcoming operation of "Subverting Fangs", she wanted to tell him that Herbert was unfortunately forced to participate in it, and she wanted to tell him that he must not harm Herbert's life in the conflict, but Xia Lan did not show up, and her words had nowhere to say.
"Herbert, are you okay with your injuries?"
Facing her fiancé's concern, Winnie hid the distress in her heart well, and said with a hint of worry on her face.
"Don't worry. I'm no longer in serious condition. Herbert hugged Winnie from behind and whispered softly.
"I've made a lot of potions these days. I hope it will come in handy for you then. Winnie whispered as she leaned into Herbert's chest.
"It's been a long time since you've reported to the Alchemy Society. Wouldn't Mentor Conrad say something? Herbert said.
"A few days ago, I sent someone to inform my mentor that I was busy with a real research and might not have much time to go to the Alchemy Society, and the tutor was very understanding of this, so I didn't pay much attention to it." Winnie explained.
"Winnie, don't let me slack off on your favorite potion research, after all, this is your lifelong pursuit." Herbert sighed.
"As long as you can stay by my side alive, I'd rather give up my pursuit." Winnie said.
"Stop talking stupid." Herbert stroked Winnie's head and said, "I'm not going to die." ”
"I'm sorry to disturb your warmth."
At this time, an uninvited guest suddenly and mysteriously appeared in the garden.
"Yarman! What are you doing here? Is it ......?"
Herbert looked at the man in a black cloak not far away. His eyes were full of consternation, and his arms around Winnie unconsciously tightened.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right, the Lord has given the order to assemble, so come with me." The man named Yarman nodded expressionlessly.
Herbert's face showed a hint of bitterness, and he nodded, "Jarman, can you give me a little time?" ”
"Don't wait too long, I'll wait for you outside."
Yarman turned away knowingly.
"Winnie, I'm leaving."
Wait for Yarman to disappear from sight. Herbert hugged Winnie and said reluctantly.
Winnie knew there would be such a day, even if she was prepared. But still unable to suppress the sadness of parting, she broke free from Herbert's embrace, and trotted away in the direction of the house with her skirt, Herbert stood motionless, just quietly watching her departing back.
After a long time, Winnie reappeared in front of him panting with a small suitcase in her hand, and it turned out that she had gone to get the potion made for him.
"Herbert, don't forget our agreement, you must come back alive."
Winnie handed the small suitcase in her hand to the other party, and sobbed with red eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Herbert solemnly carried the small suitcase in his hand, and kept a smile on his face that reassured her.
Winnie put her arms around his shoulders, raised her head and kissed Herbert deeply goodbye, and finally watched Herbert disappear into the garden step by step.
When Winnie turned to return to the house, she saw a familiar man leaning against a pillar in the corridor and looking up at the clear blue sky.
"Your Excellency Xia Lan!"
Winnie looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, and walked towards the other person in a daze.
"Is it strange that I'm here?" Xia Lan turned her head to look at her.
"Have you been experiencing anything these days? Why didn't you come at the agreed time? Winnie asked hurriedly.
"Something did happen." Xia Lan nodded and said, "Because I don't need the intelligence secrets you gave me anymore." ”
"What's going on?" Winnie was stunned.
"Because, I've taken the initiative to keep myself out of it." Xia Lan said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Winnie was puzzled.
"Do you know why he left?" Charan didn't answer, but glanced in the direction Herbert had left.
"Obey the organization's rally orders." Winnie said.
"Then do you know why the Subversive Fangs gave the order to assemble?" Xia Lan asked again.
Winnie shook her head.
"Because, the relics are ready to be unearthed." Xia Lan raised her head again and looked at the sky, her face calm.
"The relics have been unearthed! But how do you ......?" said Winnie, wide-eyed.
"Do you wonder why I didn't go to the site where the relics were unearthed? It's simple, because that's not a place for a small character like me anymore. Xia Lan shook her head and said.
"Is it ...... with your strength" Winnie couldn't believe it, and suddenly, she suddenly thought of Herbert's safety, even a strong man with extraordinary strength like Xia Lan didn't go to the place where the relics were unearthed, which showed how dangerous the situation there would be!
"I've told the Radiant Sanctuary that it will soon become a battleground between the two forces of the Turbulent Fangs and the Radiant Sanctuary." Xia Lan said indifferently.
"Why are you doing this?!" Winnie exclaimed.
"Since the plan to seize the relics in person has failed, I can only rely on other forces to help me regain the relics. You wouldn't know. Xia Lan said as if to herself.
"Then Herbert, he ......," Winnie's first thought was the safety of her fiancé in this great upheaval.
"With a bit of luck, maybe he will survive, but I'm sure that the people who "subvert the fangs" will lose at least seventy percent of their members." Charland Road.
"No! I'm going to stop him! ”
When Winnie heard this, she immediately ran to the house in a hurry, as if she was about to go directly to the site of the relic.
Xia Lan ignored her coldly as she passed by her side, and suddenly knocked her unconscious with a wave of her hand!
These days, except for secretly informing Christopher about the "subverting fangs" in Port Louis, he has been observing the situation in Port Louis like an outsider, and it is indeed extremely difficult for ordinary people to meet Christopher, but what if there is a warrant from Sir Holebas? And it was with the warrant that Sir Hollebas gave him that Christopher was seen.
He didn't show up, but spent some money to find a daring mercenary to send a letter to Christopher, in which he made it clear about the intentions of the "subverting fangs" in Port Louis, especially exaggerating the consequences of the unearthing of the relics.
He believed that Christopher would never turn a blind eye to this letter after seeing it, because he would never dare to gamble with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Port Louis!
Finally, he left a meaningful sentence in the letter.
The child he abandoned did not die.
Although the words are concise, anyone can smell the strong threat revealed in them.
Threatening a law powerhouse, this is not something anyone can do!
But Xia Lan is already crazy, and he will no longer care about the consequences!
Relic! Relic!
All he needs is relics!
He did not go to the Governor's Mansion to meet with Sir Hollebas, but one day he sensed a strong and palpitating aura in the Governor's Mansion from afar.
This is the breath that only the strong of the law will have!
It was indeed beyond Charan's expectation that Sir Holebas would be able to bring in such a helping hand, but it didn't matter, he wouldn't be involved in the head-on conflict against the "Subversive Fangs" anyway.
His new plan is very simple, when the relics are unearthed, it will inevitably cause a major battle between the three forces, if Sir Hollebass and the "Radiant Sanctuary" side get the relics, will they sit idly by and watch the relics be taken away with the importance of "subverting the fangs"? No way! It was supposed that history had already told him a qiē! Don't think that Christopher and the law powerhouse invited by Holebas can crush the "subversive fangs" strongly, because there are no law powerhouses in the "subversive fangs"? Even if the "Subvert Fang" fails, he will be able to threaten Christopher to get the relic.
If the "Subversive Fang" obtains the relic, they will immediately transfer the relic away, and at that time, they will inevitably leave a large amount of combat power to hinder the pursuit of the "Radiant Sanctuary", and at this time, his opportunity to fight for the relic will come!
As for why he appeared in the Lorandes mansion and ended up knocking Winnie unconscious.
The reason is simple, if he accidentally loses the battle with the "Subversive Fangs" for the relic, then Winnie will be his hostage to threaten Herbert to help him get the relic!
Despicable?
Since the Subversive Fangs can kidnap Adelina, then don't blame him for using the same methods against their people!
After taking out a sack from the void ring and putting Winnie inside, Xia Lan glanced in the direction of the White Sail District.
At this moment.
Presumably the relics are about to be unearthed! (To be continued......)
