Chapter 31: My life is in your hands
After Felik finished speaking, he looked at Walter in front of him, Walter lowered his head slightly, his face was gloomy, which was something that Felik had never seen before, and Walter looked a little scary now.
Walter's beautiful, delicate face and warm, confident smile have always filled the people around her with a sense of security and belonging.
In Felik's eyes, she has always been a perfect person with high moral character and outstanding strength, but Felik knew for the first time that after people have taken on a heavy mission, their angelic and warm beauty can also become so cold, so cold that they can feel the chill in their hearts.
Sure enough, did you say it too much? Felik thought to himself.
Walter is not the kind of person who would kill innocents because of the revolutionary army, and no one would bury their lives for someone else, and obviously, she didn't want to go to the imperial capital with her.
"Are you threatening me?" Walter sneered.
"President, didn't you threaten me too?"
Walter knew that the other party was right, and she planned to use her life as a threat to force the other party to join the revolutionary army, but she didn't expect Felik to put the cruel choice back into her hands.
"Do you know that you're going to die?"
"Oh? Yes, if you are so decisive and turn around and go out to talk to your companions, I will give you my life. Felik said it very boldly.
The atmosphere was solemn, the air was filled with a dull atmosphere, as if all oxygen had been depleted, Felik felt the suffocating oppression, and the room was quiet, so quiet that they could both hear each other's slight breathing.
This is a silent gladiatorial battle, a duel in silence, whoever compromises faster than the other will win this duel, and the two sides who bet on their own principles are betting on their own futures.
If he doesn't explode in silence, he dies in silence, Felik can feel his heart beating like a drum, and the other party's snort seems to be a little chaotic.
As long as Walter doesn't go with him, then he will die, he doesn't have any hole cards, his only killer is Bella, but now this hole card should not have much effect.
Because Bella said that there is another contractor here, Bella is on a par with another evil god, but Philik, who is a contractor, will never be able to fight against the people of the revolutionary army.
A trace of cold sweat slipped from the center of Felik's eyebrows, dangled along the bridge of his nose and hung on the tip of his nose, and then dripped onto the yellowed strategic map.
He was not a man who would die obediently, and if Walter finally decided to betray him, then he would choose to join the revolutionary army.
But at this moment, he wants to encircle the other party more, so he must show that he sees death as home, so that Walter is forced by the pressure of conscience to betray the revolutionary army and follow him.
Felik believes that he is not the only one who thinks so, and Walter should also be testing his bottom line.
The minutes and seconds passed, and the two of them competed with each other, neither of them spoke, until a knock on the door was heard, breaking the suffocating silence.
The sudden knock on the door startled both Walter and Felik.
"Walter?" There was a tentative voice outside the door, and it seemed to be Lance.
Instead of responding, Walter stared at Felik.
"Walter? Do you need me to make you both a cup of tea? Lance asked outside the door.
Even Felik could tell that this guy was here to find out the situation, and it was obvious that the revolutionary troops outside the door couldn't wait, and they were eager to know if Felik had joined the gang.
And Walter's reaction of not answering made Felik's heart rise to his throat.
Sure enough, only feigned to join, Felik thought to himself.
The next second, Walter spoke: "No need, we're done talking, I'll take Felik out to do some errands later." ”
The door opened, and Lance entered, giving Felik a meaningful look.
This look made Felik feel a strange feeling, could it be that he was perceived?
There is no way, only compromise! Join the Revolutionary Army!
"Yes, what a reliable guy." Lance exclaimed.
Hey?
What's going on?!
Felik's head went blank until Walter pushed him behind him.
"Let's go, follow me."
Walter was the first to lead, and Felik, though inexplicable, followed closely behind.
The people outside smiled knowingly when they saw the two of them, and Alberta stepped forward.
"It's your welcome party in the evening, don't be late."
Felik understood, and these people thought that they had agreed to join the revolutionary army.
It should be the effect of Walter's words just now, and when I think about it carefully, Walter just now meant to let him do things with her.
This should also be the first step for the revolutionary army to join the gang, just like joining a gang to kill someone to show loyalty.
Joining the revolutionary army is the same, you have to do something that is not forgiven by the empire as a proof of joining the army, this is for the unity within the revolutionary army.
Following Walter up the spiral stone steps, they came to Walter's office again.
It wasn't as dark as it was underground, it was already night, and the soft moonlight outside the window shone on the office floor.
Everyone went to the tavern to celebrate Felik's victory in the duel, and the normally noisy hall outside became quiet, and the open glass windows blew in the cool evening breeze.
The white curtains swayed slightly, becoming the only dynamic scenery in the office.
This peaceful and quiet scene was reassuring, and the nerves that had been tense slowly relaxed, and Felik's mood became relaxed after reaching the ground.
"President, did you just do this to mean that you want to go to the imperial capital with me?"
Was Walter's move just now a choice in disguise?
Between the revolutionary army and me, did she choose me?
Felik didn't know.
After the difficult choice, the ice on Walter's face that never disappeared melted, and the determined and clear fearless look of memory reappeared on her face.
Walter sighed and said with a wry smile: "You are really an unpredictable person, from the first time we met in the Elven Forest, I felt like this, obviously I wanted you to join the revolutionary army, but in the end, I was unknowingly enveloped by you."
"Really?" Felik shrugged: "Anyway, we'll leave for the imperial capital tomorrow, how about it?" ”
We're leaving tomorrow, and time is very tight, so it seems that we have to make a little preparation, otherwise the group of guys who are leaving in a hurry may not know how to handle things, Walter thought to himself.
"President, what do you want?"
Felik's hand shook before her eyes, and Walter came back to his senses from his musings.
"It's nothing, since you leave tomorrow, then I will wait for you at the city gate tomorrow, and I won't return to this guild tonight."
"Then it's decided."
