Chapter Seventy-Two: A Great Ascension
"Tarrantl! War is not the way to solve problems! Peace in exchange for war will not end well! β
"So you have given mercy to the brutal beasts, and you have left your cruelty to your people! You scum! You are not worthy to be the master of Syracuse! Nigmar's angry roar interrupted Chryges's words, her eyes red as if she were about to eat someone.
"You... Are you still blaming me? You know that it wasn't my order from three years ago! Why botherβ" Creges said to Nigma with a look of pain on his face, and with some grievance.
Nigma seemed to be the man's angry companion, and interrupted without waiting for Crigers to finish, "I'm just going to blame you!" It's about paying the price for your inaction! β
"The scum of the tribe broke the dirty water on you, and instead of fighting back, you put the dirty water away! I have never heard of your cowardice! β
Creejes' face was anxious, and he hurriedly explained, "At that time, I had just ascended to the throne, and I also signed a peace treaty with Chief Nesaki, so I can't stir up trouble over a small matter!" β
"A trifle? Scold! Nigoma shook her head with a painful expression, "Just because of the little things in your mouth, I have lost my father and my family!" Do you know how I've spent the past three years? She stepped forward and yelled at Creges, her white neck still visible in the dim light, and her pretty face flushed with rage.
At this point in the plot, Lin Yi's heart was completely occupied by confusion, and he couldn't understand the conversation between the two NPCs at all. In his mind, the contradiction between the Helm Association and the Holy Snow City was completely a typical example of the rebellion of the migrant workers who were owed wages, and what did it have to do with whether they were benevolent or not. If it is said that it has a relationship, it can only be said that the slow delay in sending troops to exterminate this group of rabble can indeed be said to be full of mercy in his heart. And the dialogue between these two NPCs is also a bit too ambiguous, not at all like a way of communication between enemies, but more like a catharsis.
Creges looked at Nigoma who was hiding her face and weeping, a trace of pain flashed across her face, and she wanted to step forward to comfort her, but she felt that it didn't seem to fit her identity and had to give up.
"Tarrantl! I'll admit that I was a bit cowardly. After you left, I also regretted it very much, and I had already found out what happened back then, it was a ghost in your rudder association, and the person who betrayed you was Hill! β
"He made a deal with Delier to be able to monopolize his wealth, and then in order to become the leader of the Helm Guild, he even went so far as to unite with the orcs of the tribal camp to slaughter your family. It's a pity that he didn't expect that you were still alive, and even took over as the leader of the Helm Guild with the consent of the other leaders, making his long-term scheming come to naught. β
"You talk nonsense!" Nigoma yelled at Creges and stood up angrily, "Without Uncle Hill, the Helm Guild wouldn't have been able to grow as much as it is today, and we've been eaten by you and those dastardly pirates to the bone. β
"Even now, do you think Hill is doing this for you? He's doing this just so that when you die, you can take over a powerful rudder association. β
"Everything including today is his and Delier's calculations, and the purpose is to cause you to die. It's just that he didn't know that Delier actually didn't even let him go. Chryjes pulled out a wad of letter paper from his bosom and walked over to Nigoma's side, "Look at it! This is the correspondence between the two of them in recent years, and after reading it, you will know if what I said is true. β
Nigoma took the letter and flipped through it quickly, and with each page, her body trembled unconsciously, not knowing whether it was because of anger or sadness. However, Lin Yi couldn't see the content on the letterhead, however, he roughly guessed that it must be evidence of collusion between Hill and various forces, and he didn't expect that this Hill would be a traitor, it seems that there are bad people in the masses and the truth everywhere...
After reading the letter, Nigoma seemed to be unable to take it anymore, and she threw herself on Kriegers, wailing and sobbing.
Crejes embraced the crying pear blossom with the rain Nigoma with a look of enjoyment, and let her vent her emotions on her shoulder, the king of Syracuse didn't care about the wandering eyes of the guards outside the door at the moment, and the almost collapsed look of Lin Yi on the side
No way! Stockholm syndrome! Why is the relationship between the two of you so close! Don't die, right? Nigoma, this is deformed love! Lin Yi's heart couldn't stop shouting, and his eyes were full of sourness.
Sensing the gaffe, Nigoma left Creges's chest a little cramped, looked at the corpse of Direel on the ground, and the seriously injured Ciel, she said slowly: "My only enemy now is the group of people in the tribal camp, I need your help IsΓ¨re!" β
However, Crejes looked at Nigoma who was wiping away her tears with a solemn face, "No! Tarrant! I'm the one who needs help, come back with you! You and your Helm Guild will be one of the most powerful forces in the Imperial Alliance! β
The prompt sound of the system sounded in Lin Yi's ears when the words of the King of Sacred Snow City fell.
"Ding! Story mission completed! Bonus XP: 502050 points; Awarded military merit points: 1000 points! β
Merit points? Is there a new game element, Lin Yi was a little puzzled by the element that suddenly appeared, but this was not the time to think about it, because there was a more important thing waiting for him to solve.
"Uh... Your Majesty! Lin Yi looked at the two of them with strong affection, and interrupted a little unbearably.
"Oh! Forgot to introduce! This is ... It's my friend, Cruise! He helped me so much in my most difficult moments! Nigma seemed to remember Lin Yi's existence again at this moment, and said to Creges.
Looking at the jealous eyes of the King of Sacred Snow City, Lin Yi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Ordinary relationship! Ordinary relationship! β
Hearing Lin Yi's panicked explanation, Crieges nodded contentedly, and walked in front of Lin Yi, "Adventurer, you killed Baron Delier?" β
"Ugh! The king, this is a misunderstanding! Actually, I... β
"It doesn't have to be this way! You can be regarded as a scourge for the empire, and I will not blame you! β
"Your Majesty... Can I be dismantled? With such a high bounty hanging on my body, I'm afraid that as soon as I get out of this prison, I will be swallowed alive! Lin Yi said with some embarrassment.
Creejes smiled and gave a few orders to the soldier at the door, and Lin Yi saw the soldier running out in a hurry.
Subsequently, the system's broadcast rang in the ears of Syracuse and the players again.
"Ding! Player [Cruising] helps the Imperial League to recruit {Helm Association} and advance the main story, reward level: +1; β
The system prompt ended quickly, and a warm current flowed through Lin Yi's body, and his level had reached level 32, which was only 8 levels away from the upper limit of the first version announced by Kerui Company.
After allocating attribute points, Lin Yi smiled, it deserves to be a game! Lifting the bounty so quickly is much more efficient than the relevant departments in reality.
"I've already sent someone to lift your bounty, now it's time to think about your bounty! Cruising warriors! β
"Is there a reward?" Lin Yi's eyes widened and he looked excitedly at the King of Sacred Snow City in front of him.
"Of course! You've done so much for Syracuse and the Imperial Alliance, and of course I want to thank you! β
"Ding! If your military rank is promoted to sergeant, the system will automatically deduct 1,000 military merit points; You've got the equipment [Finely Crafted Sound Box]"
"Alright, Sergeant Cruise! You are not needed here for the time being, you can leave, and I hope you can continue to work hard in the future and contribute your strength to the Imperial Alliance. β
Seeing that the king had issued an eviction order, Lin Yi had nothing to say. After all, two crazy men and women have just met, and it's better not to pick up dog food for a single dog.
Walking out of the Holy Snow City Prison, Lin Yi took the initiative to contact Luo Ying Feiyu and Yu Bing, who had been hanging out for a long time, and planned to meet to level up together, and now the main plot has been pushed so much by himself at once, I am afraid that it will not be far from the final task.
"Hey! Xiao Yizi, why did you cancel your bounty! I'm still planning to kill my relatives in righteousness! β
As soon as I dialed the voice, the sound of falling cherry blossoms and rain chirped came from the other end.
Lin Yi, who was embarrassed, had no choice but to briefly introduce the plot task, and then asked, "Where are you now?" I'm going to find you, let's continue to level up and strive to reach level 35 today! β
However, on the other end of the voice, there was a disdainful voice from the falling cherry blossom rain, "Cut!" We're not leveling up with you! Sister Bing and I have more important things to do! Have you ever heard of military ranks? Sister Bing and I are already veterans! As long as you save up to 500 military merits, you can be promoted to corporal! β
Listening to the other party's ostentatious words, Lin Yi dug his nose and said nonchalantly: "Oh? Already a veteran? What a joy! With that, he flicked the black boogers on his index finger into the back of the lewd NPC guard who had snatched his flavored jerky earlier.
