Volume 3: The Shadows Chapter 89 Intentions
South of Arthur City, in the back room of a tavern.
Kox slowly opened his eyes, although his face was still pale, but after swallowing the healing potion, coupled with the life energy in the palace room, the injury was already under control.
"Are you getting better?"
Duke Hyperton, who was standing silently on the side, said.
Nexus nodded, and then couldn't help but ask, "Why did Lord Duke save me?"
"I'm just trying to take out Federney, the damn guy who sees the wind and rudder, it's just a matter of saving you, I don't know who they're targeting this time, so you don't have to think too much about it. ”
Duke Hyperton glanced at him and said lightly.
"I don't know why you're so hated by Zachary, but at least we all have such a common enemy, don't we? ”
Is that so······· Fox said secretly in his heart.
He always felt that things were too much of a coincidence.
"But I'm a necromancer, don't you care?"
The Sky Wolf Empire, like the Akatsuki Empire, has a deep hatred towards necromantic magicians.
"Necromancy? Hyperton touched his chin as if he remembered something, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Eventually, the expression on his face turned into a deep mockery:
"Who cares about that kind of thing?"
Nexus frowned slightly.
What do you mean? The other party's attitude is a little strange·······
"Ah, yes, you ····· I don't know what the relationship between the two of you is, I asked me to bring back her corpse, as for what to do with it, you can do it yourself. “
Hearing this, there was a long silence.
Of course, Nexus knew who the Duke of Highporton was talking about.
"I see. “
His voice sounded a little tired.
"Since it's okay, come with me first. “
Duke Hyperton said.
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when you come. “
Then, to his astonishment, he saw Hyperton fumbling around the wall, pressing a hidden switch, and suddenly a square hole appeared in the floor.
You can faintly see the staircase leading below, and the darkness further down.
········
Follow the Duke of Highbolton up the spiral staircase to the bottom, where there is a long corridor with rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the corridors and rooms are poorly decorated.
Hyperton led Kerx into the second room on the left.
"Crunch"
I heard the sound of the door opening, and one after another looked at me.
In the relatively spacious room, there was a long table surrounded by many chairs, and at this moment, there were dozens of people seated in it.
Most of them are beautifully dressed and powerful.
Kers' eyes scanned over everyone's faces, and they eventually discovered that they were all fugitives from the previously published wanted list.
Among them were even nobles of prominent status.
"Duke Highpoton, this is ········"
Someone asked, confused.
Not only him, but the others did not ask directly, but they all had a trace of doubt and distrust in their eyes.
Apparently very wary of this strange guy that Hyperpoton suddenly brought in that looked like he was just a teenager.
"He's a clown. “
Hyperton said succinctly.
"Joker?"
The man who asked at first was shocked.
The mysterious man 'Joker', who was second only to Duke Hyperpoton in the previous wanted list, turned out to be a child who looked sixteen or seventeen years old and had not dried up?
What did he do? To be so hated by Zachary?
"There can be no doubt about that. “
Hyperton nodded, then looked at Kerks.
"I don't need to introduce the identities of these people, do I? Then welcome to the escape plan of a group of Imperial wanted criminals. “
·······
”······ Escape plan?"
"Of course, if we want to stay here and wait for death, we will naturally find a way to escape from Arthur City. Hyperton sneered: "Although I don't know what you originally thought, you'd better not think about waiting until Arthur City is locked down and then sneaking out."
"With Zachary's character, we will definitely not lift the lockdown if we don't catch it. When the time comes, all those whose interests have been violated by this will join us in the hunt until Arthur is dug three feet into the ground. ”
"Do you have any detailed plans?"
Fox asked with a deep groan.
"There are some plans, but in the end it depends on the strength. In addition to the escape plan, the main thing we will discuss after the escape from Arthur City is the plan of action, of course, this has nothing to do with you, you don't need to listen, just leave later. ”
After a pause, Haypotter said slowly.
Kerks' brow furrowed deeply.
How did breaking through the blockade of Arthur City seem to be so simple in his mouth?
Even if you are the top powerhouse in the Star Glory Rank, can you compete with the defense force of an imperial capital?
Not to mention anything else, Zachary, who has completed the inheritance ceremony, is not something you can resist, what if the other party senses the movement and takes action personally? Hyperton definitely has the strength and qualifications.
He still remembers the terrifying power of the other party when he completed the inheritance that day.
"Don't worry too much, those guys aren't in Arthur City because they're investigating something. And the newly appointed Majesty, hehe, his current situation is actually not as good as he performs, at least he will not have a chance to make a move in a short time.
Under the legend, there are not many people who can cause trouble for the Duke of Hyperton. ”
A middle-aged man with a gloomy face began.
Quex looked at the other party, what does it mean that Zachary is not in good condition, is there something wrong with the other party's inheritance ritual·······
"You're talking too much, Redwell, he doesn't need to know about these things. ”
Hyberton said suddenly.
The middle-aged man was silent for a while.
“····· You just need to cooperate when you are needed, and we will have nothing to do with each other when we leave Arthur City. ”
Hyperton ended the conversation and then began to explain the specific plans for the future.
Nexus nodded slowly, and didn't ask much, anyway, the other party saved his life.
But he'll be careful.
During the discussions, a concrete plan of action was finalized in detail.
Because of the fear of long nights and dreams, the time was set for the night two days later.
·······
Arthur City, inside the communal cemetery.
A brand new tombstone was erected.
This is Bertha's tomb.
Dressed in a black suit and a black top hat, Fox looked at him in silence for a long time and sighed slightly.
After all, the other party died for him, and he originally had the idea of burying the other party back to her hometown, but after thinking about it, he found that he didn't know where the other party's home was.
Never mind.
It was the only thing he could do··········
Pressing the black hat down slightly, Fox turned to leave.
·······
Two days later, late at night.
The sky was overcast and cloudy, without a hint of moonlight.
As if to herald a rainstorm to come.
