Vol. 12 The Rise of the Darkcrawlers! Chapter Thirty-Eight: Whistleblowing!
"It's safe here, what do you have to say. ”
It was a bright room, and a beautiful woman in her thirties was dressed in a silk cloak of high society, with a light makeup on her cheeks, and her body was long and plump, and she looked at the mature middle-aged man in front of her with a subtle smile.
Pulling his gaze back from the fertile ground outside the window, Sharoman groaned for a moment, then said slowly, "I want to ask you to help me one more time." ”
"Oh?" the beautiful woman showed a concerned look and said softly, "What's the matter, have you encountered anything embarrassing?"
"You know," Shaloman said with a wry smile, "Landiston, Holy See, is a little tricky. ”
The beautiful woman showed a slightly surprised look and said, "This is not like what you said, the Shaloman I know is confident and brave, and more daring to take responsibility, how can he be depressed because of the appearance of a powerful opponent?"
"This is a good opponent, and the opponent I have been looking forward to, we should have had a good fight, but the council did not give me this opportunity. ”
The beautiful woman lowered her head, then sighed softly, and said, "Does this also mean that you are actually at a disadvantage in your competition?"
"Yes, that's right. Saroman confessed frankly, and he swept over the beautiful woman's beautiful face, and said, "You know, in front of you, I never hide anything from you. ”
The beautiful woman looked up and looked at Shaloman deeply, and after a moment, she smiled and said, "I thought you were the one who couldn't be knocked down," she shrugged her shoulders like a man, and said helplessly, "You know, I won't refuse anything you say." ”
Shaloman looked at the beautiful woman for a moment, then sighed and said, "I'm sorry for you again." ”
"Don't say that. The beautiful woman looked at him with a complicated look in her eyes. But the words were full of human feelings: "At that time, you helped our mother and son in the most dangerous time. If not you. We don't live well until now. I always wanted to repay you. Actually, thank you for giving me this opportunity. ”
Sharoman smiled bitterly, "Repay? You already repaid last time." Actually, I owe you land this time. Add to that the fact that your territory was attacked. In fact, before I know it, I owe you a lot. ”
"Let's not be so polite. I've known each other for more than ten years. The beautiful woman smiled. Stretched out and waved his hand like white jade. The action is pleasing to the eye.
"Yes. It's been more than ten years. "A lot of things around us are changing. People are changing, too. But I don't know. We're not going to change. ”
The beautiful woman's body trembled imperceptibly. There was a hint of hesitation and confusion in the depths of her eyes. But then it was swept under the rug. He said softly, "You wait for my arrangement." ”
Sharoman nodded. He happily said, "Okay! I'm waiting for your good news." ”
Shaloman soon returned to his temporary station.
The necromancer, who had been following him, walked up and said in surprise, "My lord." So easy to negotiate? I thought you'd be back after tonight. ”
Shaloman knew that his assistant's words did not mean anything else, and he said lightly: "The negotiation is done, and it is unexpectedly smooth."
Necromancy frowned and said: "I still remember what you said at that time, Duke Saberlin is a woman who pays great attention to the exchange of interests, and she will not do anything that is not beneficial, but if she encounters benefits, she dares to chase after her." ”
"Yes!" Shaloman nodded, "I still hold to that point of view." ”
"So, is she too happy to say yes?" the necromancer hesitated. Cai said: "I don't doubt you, it's just that this matter is too relevant after all." ”
"Thank you for your kind reminder, Angnon," said Shaloman, mutteringly, "but to get rid of Landiston in the shortest possible time, it is clear that she is an indispensable person. ”
"Lantyston isn't Mehdi, we've learned how powerful he is, will he be fooled?" the necromancer's tone was a little uncertain, and he suddenly realized that he had always been full of confidence and invincible ambition when he was around Sharoman. But since the appearance of the chief monk, it seems that this feeling has become less and less, does this also mean that Sharoman's influence on him is getting weaker and weaker?
"A woman with no power, in the gap between the two camps, her situation is actually more difficult than mine, and she is understandable to do this," Shaloman shook his head and said, "People are at a critical moment. I still hope that it is myself who can be saved first. From that point of view, we have no fault with her. And, now we have no choice but to believe her. ”
"My lord, I remember you saying that there is no difference between placing one's destiny in the future and leaving it in the hands of others. The necromancer sensed the passivity in Sharoman's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably anxious in his heart.
"I said that," said Shaloman, smiling slightly, "but I have another sentence after this sentence: only try to change, but don't be critical of the final result, there are too many forks in the road of life, and it is impossible to correctly grasp all the futures." ”
The necromancer refused to give up his thoughts, and he tried to persuade him: "My lord, do you think about it again, I always feel that I can't be 100% at ease with this woman, we must stay behind......
"There is no turning back. Sharoman spoke slowly, then he looked at his companion and emphasized, "There is no way back!"
The necromancer sighed and finally nodded.
A few days later, Luo Lan returned to the land of the Bright Realm, and the process was surprisingly smooth and safe, but if you think about it, it is also reasonable.
In front of the station at this moment, there is a carriage that seems to have been waiting for a long time.
There were two people sitting in the carriage, one of the teenagers lifted the curtain and glanced out sneakily, a flash of hatred in his eyes, and then quickly shrank back.
"Mother, why do you want to see this man?" said the young man indignantly, "Isn't this man harming us enough?"
The beautiful woman straightened the collar of the young man with concern, and said softly: "There are some things that my mother has to do, this hand has power, and can decide our life and death at any time, if you want to survive in the shadow of other places." You must know how to meet them. ”
"Why?" said the young man, his eyes widened, "Mother, isn't your status also very high, and you also have guards in your territory, why do you still come to see this little monk?"
"Little chief monk?" the beautiful woman didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, and said, "Your tone is really big, there are only twelve chief monks in the Apollo Continent in total, and all of them are not prominent and prominent people in high positions on the Apollo Continent. Even if it is a big man with authority, my mother is only a middle-level monk until now, and this is because I have donated too much money, and if you don't have a certain strength, you can't step into this threshold. ”
The young man said angrily: "Then we don't want this title at most, the monks will fight to the death with the Council of the Dead, what does it have to do with us? And give them the hard-earned taxes of the territory? This time our territory has been attacked, according to the will of my territory, we don't have to pay attention to him at all." The beautiful woman sighed helplessly. Said: "You and your brother are really in the same temper, I have repeatedly warned him not to go to the Holy See to complain, but he still ignored it. I don't know where he has gone now. ”
"Brother did the right thing!" said the young man with a stiff neck, "why should we accommodate Landiston?"
"Kid, you'll understand later. "There are too many vicissitudes of life for beautiful women and beautiful eyes, "Do you know why our territory was attacked this time?"
"Why?" said the young man, stunned, "Isn't it because of the war between the Council of the Dead and the Monks' Society?"
The beautiful woman shook her head and said, "I have visited Brother Mehdi many times and offered a lot of money and food, but I have not had a chance to meet him since Landiston's arrival. He didn't make any kind gestures in time, and this time he allowed the members of the Council of the Dead to attack my territory, most likely taking the opportunity to knock me on and warn me that I must be attached to him in order to survive on this land. ”
The young man twisted his body awkwardly and said, "But I can't stand it when I see my mother groveling in front of people." ”
"This time we were lucky, but what about the next time?" said the beautiful woman with a wry smile, "If we have no land and no people to live on, we will lose everything now." ”
"That's ......" the boy was not stupid, thinking of losing his current privileged life. His face turned pale, and then he pushed the beautiful woman's body and urged, "Since this is the case, then Mother, you should go quickly." ”
The beautiful woman felt that her youngest son was using a lot of strength, and even her body shook, she was stunned, her eyes showed a trace of sadness, nodded silently, and then lifted the car. Walked down silently.
"Your Excellency. Duke Saberlin asked to see him outside the door. ”
The squire's voice sounded in Luo Lan's ears, and at this moment he was checking some information. Hearing this, he raised his head, and he said expressionlessly, "Got it, let her wait." ”
After two hourglass hours, the beautiful woman who stood outside the door with a sore leg was finally allowed to be heard.
She breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her sideburns, carefully sorted out her appearance, and then followed the servant into the room with the ceremonial posture characteristic of the nobles.
She glanced slightly, and in front of the table in the center, a young man was reviewing something, her expression moved, and then she saluted: "Brother Lantiston, the mid-ranking monk Alice Saberlin has an audience." ”
Luo Lan glanced at her lightly, then slowly revealed a smile, and said, "Lord Duke, you came to me, is there anything wrong?"
The beautiful woman suddenly knelt down and whispered, "I have come to expose you a sin. ”
"Oh?" Luo Lan paused for a moment, then continued to write, "What is it?"
"Brother Mehadi," said the beautiful woman with difficulty, ...... "it was actually Sharo and I who conspired to kill her." ”
Luo Lan finally raised his head, he stared at the other party, but did not speak.
The beautiful woman waited for a while, but when she saw that there was no response, she gritted her teeth and said, "There is one more thing, Saroman just came to see me, and he forced me to murder the adult again!"
