Chapter 1647: The Center of the Absurd Drama
As soon as these words came out, even the head of the second group, Begel, who was about to become a "lackey of the future chamber of commerce", was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a while.
However, the head of the Wind and Cloud Knight behind the wind, the "Purple Lightning of Signo" had already turned into a bolt of lightning and went straight into the crowd. It turns out that the water in front of the legendary "Thunder Fist" is too great in front of the "Purple Lightning". Before the old mercenary could react, he was knocked on the back of the neck by the other party, and his whole body was suddenly paralyzed, and then he was carried out directly by one hand. The whole process took less than a second, not to mention the parties, even the mercenary bosses present were also caught off guard, only to feel that in front of them, their respected old-timers had already been carried out of the crowd by the tall female knight like a kitten.
With a flick of the, Signo took the seventy-year-old "Leon" to the ground and retreated to the side of the wind.
Not to mention that people are also respected seniors on the road, but they are also seventy-year-old old men, no matter what happens, it's too much to be so used to the ground, right?
The mercenaries were agitated after a brief period of sluggishness, but after a brief moment of indignation, they quickly came to their senses. I have to say that mercenaries are actually a fairly realistic profession, and who can be mixed into a regiment leader is not a human spirit?
The more situations that are beyond common sense, the greater the demonic spirit, and the more times like this, the more we should keep our sanity and watch coldly and not make mistakes - such a philosophy of survival, how can the mercenaries who are "war dogs" not understand it?
So, after a short period of noise, the scene fell silent. Even the city government staff who were cleaning up the scene of the fire stopped and watched this scene cautiously but curiously.
"You!" Even the war wild dog is dignified, not to mention that he has reached this age, Lei Wen gritted his teeth and propped up half of his body, as if he was rushing up and fighting with people. However, the roar of the dragon in the sky sounded again, and the colossal wind pressure came straight to the ground with the sudden falling shadow.
As soon as everyone heard the dragon's groan, they found that the two dragons, one gold and one silver, had flapped their wings and fell into the air.
When the body is tens of meters long, it still seems to cover the sky and the sun when it is close to the ground, and even if you ignore their mountain-like body, the dragon power directly carried by the true dragon can be regarded as the deterrent magic of the high ring. The mercenaries were silent one by one, and Daun's anger as a party directly solidified on his face and turned into a sluggish, unspeakable.
This tonnage of sacred creatures rushed to the face with such earth-shattering might, and the moment it landed must have been earth-shattering. But in fact, the moment they landed, they seemed to be understated, without the slightest smoke and fire, not to mention dusty slates, shattered stone slabs, and almost no sound.
The dragons folded their wings, and the previous wind disappeared suddenly, and the coercion that pressed on everyone's hearts like a mountain was no longer visible. If it weren't for the fact that they could still be seen standing in front of them, ordinary people would no longer be able to feel their presence.
The old mercenary swallowed his saliva and wanted to say something, but when he was swept away by the two pairs of dragon eyes as big as war drums, he felt that his tongue was going to be paralyzed.
He didn't speak, but the wind spoke to the crowd first.
"Mr. Jia Shan, what I said yesterday, you should tell everyone, right?"
Hearing the wind mention his name, the leader of the fire kiss subconsciously trembled, but then realized that he should be innocent, and he was very honest after being educated by the boss lady during the day. His subordinates are also very honest, and he still has a lot of confidence in these old brothers under him. Of course, not for their discipline, but for their encouragement. A group of war wild dogs who came out to lick blood and eat with knives, how could they do such a thing?
So, I'm scared of a fart! As soon as he thought of this, Jia Shan suddenly had a sense of superiority that he had drawn a clear line with the people around him. He raised his head, glanced at these colleagues, and said proudly: "I dare not be different from your order, of course I have relayed it!" ”
Are you a proud fart? The mercenaries thought to themselves, if it weren't for the two dragons staring at us, we would have killed you a long time ago!
"Look, Leon, I didn't give you a chance." Hurricane laughed.
"But...... You, you have no evidence. No, I can't! You really can't defile people out of thin air......" The old mercenary said tremblingly, pitifully like a lonely old man who had no children to take care of and could only struggle and wait for death. This performance is really quite in line with his real age.
"Oh, you still don't understand, I'm not a Templar, I'm not a judge, do I need to talk to someone about the evidence?" Tempest still has a healing smile on his face, and he says lines that are not healing at all.
So you don't care? Are you not the embodiment of justice, the protector of order and the well-being of the people, the legendary organization where heroes assemble? I don't know if he was stunned, but the old mercenary turned his attention to the two dragon knights for help.
The two female dragon knights chattered and grinned and ate melons, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with them.
"However, I can also give you the evidence, but, do you really want it? Leon? Storm stood up, still smiling, but there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in her eyes, and her temperament suddenly had an inhuman sense of alienation for a moment. It was as if at this moment, she was no longer human, but someone more transcendent than someone who saw her as a lower creature at the bottom of the food chain.
"I was going to keep you a little bit of decency." The wind spread its fingers, and a nearly colorless halo of magic flashed through its fingertips, then vanished again.
"Magic, magic ......" Dawn is about to collapse. At the age of seventy, he had been on the battlefield all his life, and although he was not a spellcaster, it was impossible that he did not know anything about magic. He knew that a transcendent spellcaster could make even the dead speak, and it couldn't be easier to find evidence in his soul. However, isn't it true that people who usually use psychic magic to turn their brains into the walking dead? He thought of when he was young, when he was adventuring in the dark region, he fell into the spirit sucking monster "Soul Searching Dafa", and while leaning crookedly against the wall as if he had no bones, he smirked and drooled, and no matter how he called or beaten, he had no other reaction.
He just giggled and drooled for three days before he died.
If I become like this, I might as well be beheaded. The old mercenary thought.
In fact, he was frightened by his own brain supplement and lack of culture. The wind is such an amiable and upright good girl, so she won't make spiritual magic like a cult sacrifice, and more importantly, she is much stronger than the spirit sucking monster, and there are ways to retrieve memories without hurting the other party's spirit.
"I, I'm willing to explain. This, this fire was set by me! Dawn finally gave up and whispered in a low voice, but saw that the wind had already walked towards him: "Wait, wait, I've already admitted it, what else do you have to do?" ”
"I don't think you're telling the truth, it's better to be on the safe side."
"No, no, no, please, Miss Wind, no, Lord Wind. Remember, remember, I used to be a regular guard for Master Drense for five years, and I gave you a gift for your twelfth birthday. ”
"Yes, thank you. That's why I call Leon, otherwise he would have been an old dog a long time ago. "The healing wind is still smiling, clear and hearty, and the sun is shining.
"You, you, you......" You weren't like this before! What has life done to you?
The old mercenary knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying bitterly: "Please, I still have a family, I still have a wife at home, and two sons and four daughters." I have grandchildren and I want to meet them. Forgiveness, forgiveness, ......."
Hurricane suddenly interrupted the other party loudly: "If you want to forgive, then say it!" ”
The old man looked at the woman who was as cold as ice and frost and seemed to be inhuman, shuddered for a moment, and said, "I, I, I...... I was also forced. Yes, that sea skewer over there, yes, it's the lizard of the Floating Dragon Mercenary Regiment, he's the intermediary. Because I have two men who are good at stealth, they found me and said that they would give me 10,000 Bakers when the matter was done! ”
The so-called sea skewer lizard of the Floating Dragon Regiment refers to a wurmite named Vamota, with fifty mercenaries under his command. There are not many people, but they are all good hands, so they are still very famous in the mercenary world.
"Hu, nonsense, old thing, how can you spew blood!" The Argonian was furious, but before he could attack, he was once again lifted out of the crowd by Signo, and then viciously slammed to the ground.
Fortunately, this guy is a wurmite, so he won't fall too badly.
"Well, I didn't expect that, Mr. Vamoda, I thought you were a smart man." Hurry sighed: "So, do you want to leave some decency, or do you ......"
"I, I report! He was the one who planned this kind of thing all the time, yes, he did it! The Argonian hurriedly stood up and pointed to a middle-aged man in the crowd wearing an inconspicuous dark red robe with a bookish face: "That, Hurstoff, the Red Robe Society!" He's behind it. He had been seducing me for days! ”
It is said to be called the "Red Robe Society", but in fact, it is also a mercenary group, with fewer people and only a dozen people, but because they are all wild spellcasters, their reputation on the road is also very high. The president of the Red Robe Society, Hurstoff, was even sharper. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that with his ability, if he is born in the Knowledge Alliance, he can become a Magister. There was even news circulating on the road that all the nations tried to recruit him as the king's magic advisor, but he refused.
The president of Hastov turned down the high salaries and maintained his small organization, and in his spare time he opened a cram school in Neosfia, teaching a small amount of elementary magic to the children of wealthy families, while also teaching grammar literacy to poor children for free. The reputation in the local neighborhood where the cram school is located is comparable to that of a saint, and he also has the title of "Red Robe Bachelor".
Of course, Hurricane knows this person, and knows more about this person's strength, which is about the same as his own senior brothers, to put it bluntly, the "outer disciples" of Derens. If he was really born in the Federation, it is indeed possible to be rated as a magister.
This time, Hurricane really sighed, with a look of helplessness and pity on his face, and looked directly at the other party: "I have been to your cram school, and I have also participated in several magic knowledge exchange meetings organized by you. I can see that you are really enjoying your life and are very happy to teach ordinary children to read and write. In the future, the Chamber of Commerce has even considered expanding your cram school into a regular school, so that more poor children have the opportunity to study, please stay in your position and serve as a principal and a member of the school council. ”
In fact, the intention of the future chamber of commerce is to expand the cram school into a children's school, so that its own workers' children can enroll for free, to put it bluntly, it is to cultivate the next batch of leeks...... I mean primary educational institutions for qualified industrial workers. Of course, the original site of the new factory of the Chamber of Commerce was located in that neighborhood, and the workers were naturally recruited nearby, and the children who could go to school for free were naturally the same as before.
In this medieval era, who would dare to say that this is not the politics of virtue through the ages?
A hint of pain flashed across the red-robed bachelor's face, but after a silent sigh, he became calm. He raised his head, and looked directly at the wind without wavering: "My mother is seventy years old this year, she is the daughter of the Ils family, but when she was young, she eloped with my father, an ordinary scholar, to Neosfia, and had to give up the family name. After her father's death, her only thought was to return to the family. ”
"Well, that's understandable." The wind bowed slightly, and then looked at the Yalong man kneeling in front of him: "But you and I really can't understand it, the deep-water port expansion project of the Third Naval Base of the Standard Shipping Association is the design of your brother's office." ”
"So, so, it's all a misunderstanding! Madame, I am your faithful servant! It was him, it was he who seduced me. He's a wild mage, so he must have learned some tricks of demonic magic somewhere! Yes, he has also contacted a lot of people during this time, it is the one over there, yes, Crodale of the Sea Crocodile Brigade, he is one of them! ”
"Old lizard, you just have to die by yourself, and you still have to bite people indiscriminately!" Crodel jumped up and was about to pounce on and bite, but was stopped.
"Oh, old crocodile, I didn't expect you to be a traitor with thick eyebrows and big eyes!" Someone quipped.
"You, you, you, are you qualified to say me? Lord Wind, I report, this little white face, yes, it is this Red Lance Regiment's Dedar, he is also a traitor. During this time, he often went to the tent in Hurstov at night, and stayed all night, and he must have been brewing some kind of conspiracy! ”
"You dare!"
As a result, everyone present was in such a mess, accusing each other, accusing each other, reporting and exposing each other, and then soaking each other with old fists. If it weren't for the fact that everyone had no weapons, it was estimated that bloodshed would have entailed soon.
Looking at this scene that seemed to be a second-rate absurd drama, the gloating elf girls were overjoyed, while the red-robed mage's face was blue and his cheeks twitched. It wasn't that he was terrified that he was nearing death, but that he was at the center of this farce, as if he had been publicly executed.
"You're just going to be angry for a while." He said eloquently to the wind: "The more than 100,000 food supplies hoarded here have been burned, even with the financial resources of you and Lord Lucy Belencaster, this is still nerve-wracking, right?" What's more, without these, even if he entered Elichar as a liberator, he would not be able to fill the stomachs of the millions of citizens in the entire Orso Heaven District. The populace will abandon him as quickly as they abandoned the Emergency Committee. But what is the point of what he does if he cannot be a true savior? ”
Tempest was silent, as if genuinely moved by these words.
"Please let us go, open the food ban on Oakland and Virginia, and sit down with us to talk. We'll give him a perfect explanation. Yes, we'll be done with the bad guys...... Then the Emergency Council will be dissolved, and we will reinstate the Supreme Governor, the First Citizen, and give him a stable state and the highest position of power. As long as he is willing to let go of his arrogance and give us a little forgiveness. ”
"This is what your family wants me to tell Lu Xi."
“…… This, this is also what I say in my heart. The civil war has been fought to this point, and it is enough. Everyone was broken by Master Lu Xi, and they didn't dare to resist him anymore. Now that he has shown enough strength, it's time to show his benevolence. Even if it's just for the ordinary citizens of Elichar who are starving. ”
Swift Wind listened silently to the other party, was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly smiled with an indescribable sarcasm.
“…… Sickness, Wind-sama? ”
"You're too eager. Is it food or a pile of rubble that the fire burns, and you can smell it just by smelling? You are also a mage who has been famous for a long time, and you don't have any perception and discernment? ”
The red-robed mage was slightly stunned, and then his body shook violently, and his face turned pale.
"You've seen a steady stream of laborers moving materials into storage and then watching the ships go out to sea and come home. It's just, haven't you heard the saying? As a spellcaster, even your own eyes can't believe it. ”
This time, the other party really showed a desperate death.
"Yes, thanks to some recent experiences, I have come to the realization that there is now a way to operate an illusion of this magnitude in the main material world. Even a magician of your strength would not be able to see through it unless he had been carefully identifying it for a long time. Thinking of "some recent experiences", a trace of sadness flashed on Hurricane's face, and he sighed happily: "So, is there anything else to say?" ”
The red-robed mage shook his head, and his whole body fell.
"Your family has nothing to do with this incident, I know it. I'm not going to harass your mother and siblings. The cram school will still be expanded into a school, and there will be reliable teachers in place. ”
Hurstoff grudgingly smiled in gratitude. Then, Signor had already walked behind him, slashing his sword.
As a spellcaster who has been famous for a long time, he has never resisted from beginning to end.
