Chapter 63: The Man Who Hides in the Shadows (3)
When a tall, lanky man in a black robe and carrying a wand walked into the barn, it was as if even the originally warm room had dropped a few degrees. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The dilapidated barn was crowded with people, but these people were not the original homeless and scoundrels. Around the central campfire were a group of men who were also clad in hidden robes, and a short distance behind them stood strong men dressed as mercenaries and fully armed.
Looking at the eyes mixed with fear and excitement under the double hoods, Kahlan slowly raised the wand in his hand and whispered a few words, and the originally cold braziers in the barn instantly lit up!
This hand immediately startled everyone, and the expression on the thin and tall man became more and more awe-inspiring. Kahlan smiled smugly, but was quickly replaced by a serious expression, and a deep voice echoed in the murky air.
"Sir... No, brothers, fellow wizards, you may wonder why I'm bringing you all here today—simply, because the time has come!
Look at our sad age! The greedy and pedantic Church is in control, the aristocracy treats us as lackeys to call us at will, the foolish people treat us as terrible beasts of the Flood, and the whole age tramples on our dignity, the dignity of those of us who hold the truth!
Gentlemen, I am not a fanatic, I am just an ordinary person who believes in the Holy Cross, and I have only chosen to become a wizard to serve the great Holy Cross and this kingdom. But how do they repay us? You're either going to be an obedient lackey, or you're going to hide in Tibet!
Aren't wizards born free? Isn't it the principle of heaven that we practice in the cold towers, and while the rich enjoy the sunshine, we have to delve into obscure books and touch the terrifying void, only to be rewarded with countless white eyes and a lifetime of oppression?!
No, it's not fair, it's definitely not fair!
In our quest for freedom and truth, we must hide our identities among the foolish people who despise and fear us, and if we are exposed, we will be arrested as blasphemers. Surely some of you know Draco, the poor alchemist who died as a priest.
The people of the church say that he died for the Holy Cross, but in fact, he was killed because he was found out! It was none other than our 'companions' at Wimpal Academy!
They have abandoned their personalities and willingly become lackeys of the church and the aristocracy, as if they can gain some respect from their masters if they work hard enough!
And we can't bear it any longer, only this time we must take revenge - to target someone else, or to betray our Vimpal Academy, to make them realize what they have done wrong!
Brothers, do you want to humiliate and deceive yourselves, or do you want to make a splendid sacrifice?! Let the nobles and the adults of the church see if we will always bow down to be their slaves!
Even the oppressed farmer can raise a nail rake and a hoe to revolt, why can't we use our actions to make them feel the anger of our people?!
Leave now, cowards who want to leave, and warriors who want revenge, equip yourself with sacrifices, for we are moths that pounce on the flames, and the only light of wisdom will shine in these dark times!"
Thunderous applause rang out in the silent barn, though the wandering wizards, who were only a dozen people, clenched their wands and swords at their waists excitedly, cheering for the moment.
They have waited too long and hid for too long, and they really need a leader who can really lead them to death, so that all the wizards in the entire duke can get the right to live freely.
While everyone was cheering, Kahlan waved his hand slightly, and left the campfire in the middle of the barn in the name of continuing to arrange the relevant matters, not forgetting to shake hands with each of the wandering wizards with concern and encouragement, so that they could get rid of the last bit of hesitation in their hearts.
As for the mercenaries, they didn't need to, they just had to make sure that the wizard was able to pay them enough - it didn't matter what they were going to do, as long as they had enough money, they didn't care if it was something that would cost them their heads.
Quietly leaving the barn gate, and after making sure that no one was behind him, the tall and lanky man walked into a dilapidated building on the side of the road, and sat down in front of the man who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Please tell Lord Fanecis that everything is ready. Karan, who lowered his voice, said respectfully: "In addition to the original mercenaries and those wandering wizards, I have also recruited dozens of other people, and I can definitely take down Vimpal in one fell swoop and relieve the worries of the adults!"
He did not dare to be disrespectful, the guy sitting in front of him was the most dear knight to the side of Farnescé - of course, on the other hand, if the barn people found out that he was "talking and laughing" with him, it would be a big problem.
"Your Excellency is still waiting for your time. The knight said with a frown. If he could, he wouldn't want to come to this kind of dirty place, and talk to such a blasphemous guy, again, there was just no way, Lord Fanescis's "career" needed this kind of person: "Let your people wait quietly, and they will naturally tell you when the time comes." ”
"But they can't wait!" Karan anxiously explained, "The mercenaries are fine, but those wandering wizards are crazy, and if they wait any longer, they will start to suspect me - not to mention, what if the people of Vympal find out?!"
"I remember you swore that you would never be discovered by Wimpal. ”
"It's just that when everything is going well, no one is a prophet who can know everything!" Karan replied in a low voice, holding back the resentment and anger in his heart, "In any case, please tell Lord Fanesis that if you wait any longer, there will definitely be an accident!"
The knight hesitated for a moment, and in all fairness, he understood that this man named Karan was right, but every time he saw him, he felt that this man had bad intentions and wanted to use Lord Fanecis to accomplish his ulterior purposes, so he hesitated until now.
However, the knight still remembers what Farnesis said, as long as his interests are still tightly held in the palm of his hand, he will never dare to make any betrayal, so for now, this guy should still be loyal.
“...... Well, I'll tell Lord Fanecis. The hesitant knight still agreed, but also took the opportunity to warn the other party: "But if you have any misdeeds, I don't need an order from an adult, I will personally cut off your head!"
"It's all on your orders. Kahlan smiled humbly and bowed to the knight in a low voice. The other party stood up arrogantly and left without saying hello.
Self-righteous bastards, waiting until this is over will make you die a good death!
The hideous face of the tall lanky man who gritted his teeth even distorted - he couldn't do anything to this guy now, he had to be patient and wait until the matter was over to clean up the other party.
When the time comes, Farnesscis will definitely be able to see the value in himself, how can such a knight who only knows how to be foolish and loyal be as useful as himself?
As for the guy named Loren Turin...... Karan still remembers the humiliation he inflicted on himself - it was because of the extremely unstable bottle of ignition that burned his hands that he had to leave Gumu that night, and the whole situation became dangerous, and his status in the eyes of Farnesis dropped rapidly!
Kalan, who has a grim gaze, seems to have a faint pain in his fingers, and has been wandering incognito for so many years, and he has suffered a lot of losses, but it is really the first time that he has been planted in the hands of a wizard apprentice!
I'll kill you with my own hands, crawler!
