Chapter 58: Blackmail in disguise
The old man's voice was very ethereal, as if coming from nothingness: "I am no longer the Pope. ”
Parham was silent for a long time, and then said, "Your Excellency, is there really no way to resurrect my brother?" ”
Slowly, the old man opened his eyes, as if with a weak breath. It was a pair of cloudy eyes that could penetrate people's hearts. He shook his head and said, "Forget Parham, let your brother sleep forever." ”
Parham's face changed suddenly, he was a little annoyed and a little unwilling, and in the end he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the old man, but just lowered his head very much, and said, "I'm already organizing forces, and I won't let the Light Sect have a good time." ”
"Ouch......" the old man sighed.
Parham had some hesitation in his eyes, and finally said, "Your Excellency, I know that you have hidden my brother's cross, can you give it back to me?" ”
The old man's body, which seemed to be dead wood, moved, and his voice was raised: "Parham, what do you want to do?" ”
Parham, who had been standing, suddenly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed heavily, and said tremblingly, "Your Excellency! Fulfill me, fulfill me! I have to avenge my brother! ”
The sound makes the whole dark room full of resentment!
The old man sighed bitterly, wanting to say something, but could not say it, and finally stretched out a withered arm and handed over an object.
It's a cross, a bone cross.
When Parham saw the cross, he was immediately in a surge of blood, and hurriedly took it, and said as if he had found a treasure: "Pope! I thank you! ”
"Let's go......" The old man slowly closed his eyes again.
Parham did not dare to bother any longer, and put the cross around his neck, and carefully and respectfully withdrew it.
When he walked out of the door of the tavern again, and the sun fell on him, if someone was careful, they could find his shadow, and there was gradually an irrepressible treachery.
The old man said that the shadow is another devil hiding in people!
Parham buried his head deep in his black robe, and a pair of gloomy eyes were exposed, and he casually threw out a few gold coins, threw them on the ground to the groom, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Fort Corey Hill." ”
With a smile on his face, the groom picked up the gold coin, and quickly whipped his horse, sending Parham to Fort Corey Hill.
Kori Hill Fort, a castle closely attached to the south of Os, can be called a giant, and even ten city lords' mansions cannot compare to the area alone.
What's more, the castle is taller than the city lord's palace, the city army building, and even the council building that determines the life and death of the entire city of Os.
It can be seen that the majesty of its castle owner.
Parham's tiny figure stood quietly in front of the castle the size of the day, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly he laughed and snorted.
After a while, Parham slowly walked forward. After walking two steps, a column of guards with spears surrounded him.
"Who are you?" The captain of the guard shouted.
Parham said lightly: "Go and tell Patriarch Corey that I have something important to look for him." ”
"Nonsense! How can the patriarch be the one you say you will see? ”
Parham was not in a hurry, but took out a small box from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Show this to the patriarch, he will know what is going on." ”
The captain of the guard stared at the small box and snorted, "You said yes?" ”
Parham said: "If it is late, it will change, and I am afraid that you will not be able to bear this responsibility." ”
"You!" The captain of the guard was slightly angry, but he didn't dare to do anything.
He hesitated for a moment, then took the box, turned to the person behind him, and gave a low command or two, and the man behind him strode into the mountain fort with the box.
After about ten minutes of entering, I suddenly heard the sound of hundreds of horses' hooves, urgent and fierce, and the huge sterling silver gate of the mountain fort slowly opened, and a column of people and horses walked out. The leader was about forty years old, wearing a golden robe, with a badge on his chest and shoulders, a face with Chinese characters, a hooked nose, and a pair of swords.
As soon as the captain of the guard saw this person, his face changed greatly, and without saying a word, he directly knelt down and said extremely respectfully: "Patriarch! ”
He never expected that the patriarch would be able to greet him in person!
The golden-robed man waved his hand, rode his horse to the front, looked Parham up and down, and then said, "You sent the thing?" ”
Parham looked excited, knowing that the person in front of him was the famous patriarch of the contemporary Corey family, known as the "Golden Knight" Cardin Corry.
The captain of the guard shouted angrily: "When you see the patriarch of Corry, how dare you not kneel? ”
Cardin Corey's noble status, strong power, and fierce record can be said to be better than Haska in Oss City, and it is normal for ordinary people to give him a great gift.
But Parham didn't kneel, and said coldly: "The believer is rude." ”
This is a folk custom of Konoe, which refers to the fact that sometimes when you run errands and deliver letters, you can avoid all etiquette in order to achieve the fastest information communication, and over time it has evolved into the saying that "believers are rude".
The captain of the guard was about to flare up, but Cardin Corey waved his hand and said, "He has a point, you all stand back." ”
The captain of the guard snorted, and had no choice but to lead the people back.
Cardin Corey looked solemn and said, "Say it! What's wrong with my son! ”
What kind of character Carney Corey is, just now the next man handed the box in, and as soon as he opened it, he felt that it was a finger of his son Goer!
The smell of the breath! Can't be wrong!
That's why he disregarded his noble status and hurried out.
Parham was quite proud, and said: "Young Master Goer, he was originally sent to the Dark Forest by Lord Huska City to carry out the plan of 'layout behind enemy lines', but unfortunately in an offensive and defensive battle, Young Master Goertek was unfortunately captured!" Two days later, an enemy messenger returned the box and the letter, and we had no choice but to report it. ”
Cardin Corey listened, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, looked at Parham suspiciously, and asked, "Why don't you find Haskar first?" ”
Gore Corey belongs to the people under the banner of the city army of Ostown, and if something happens, he should find Huska as soon as possible.
Parham naturally wouldn't be distracted by such a small suspicion, took out the letter that had already been forged, and pretended to smile bitterly: "On the letter from the enemy, I am designated to find you." ”
Cardin Corey's eyes narrowed even tighter, he reached out and took the letter, hissed and tore it, and read it carefully, but found that he could not read the words on it, and his expression could not help but be a little strange.
Thinking that he is a big Corey patriarch, he can't even read a letter, so it's naturally a bit embarrassing to spread it.
Parham said deliberately: "Patriarch, don't you understand?" ”
Cardin Corey snorted and said, "Barbarian writing, I haven't studied it. ”
Parham sneered, not denied, but repeated the contents of the letter. In fact, the content of the letter was all fabricated by Parham alone, and he naturally knew it clearly.
The letter is nothing more than two points, the first point is blackmail, demanding that the Corey family pay 500,000 gold coins; The second point is
Ask the Corey family for a group teleportation scroll.
As soon as he heard these two conditions, Cardin Corey burned on his face and said angrily: "Wishful thinking! ”
