Act XVI: Conspiracy
After the meeting, the generals returned to their respective residences. Halleste and Rhein were placed by La Niña to stand guard in front of their room.
"I'm done, you two can come in." After standing for less than half an hour, the languid voice of La Niña came from the room.
Harrest and Rhein heard the call, unceremoniously, and pushed the door straight in. Originally, they hadn't eaten all day, they had spent so much effort in meetings, and at the end they had to stand guard without a break, and the two teenagers had already had a lot of complaints.
"Yo, you two are still angry? Even though there's nothing wrong with what you've just said, those soldiers are really useless garbage. But do you know that if I hadn't been here, Captain Wan wouldn't have even given you a chance to speak! La Niña, dressed in pink and white pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, her hands folded around her chest, and she looked lonely again.
"We all understand the reason, so we basically haven't told them any reason from the beginning, we just keep forcing them to make a move, and then prepare to fight violence with violence!" Rhine said.
"Do you really think that someone who can be a general like this has no ability? Chryston is really useless, but that Add is the Black Iron Knight, even if it is a duel before the gods, you may not win! La Niña thinks that what the two teenagers are doing is completely beastly and has not been thought about at all.
"What is the Black Iron Knight, is it powerful?" Hallester shook his hand, looking dismissive.
"Even the knight class doesn't know, what era are you? Let me tell you, there are eight levels of knights, namely: apprentice, knight, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, saint, and divine blessing. That Eddie is none other than the third-order Black Iron Knight! Even the Ten Thousand Horsemen Sailei is just a fifth-order silver knight, and you still say that the black iron is not powerful? "The Black Iron Knight is a status that most people can't reach in their lifetime, so Eddie is indeed a character.
"Heh, only a third-order black iron dares to take the lives of millions of people as a child's play, and the lives of those people are so worthless!?" The more Harrester spoke, the more agitated he became, and there was a tendency to explode.
"That's the way the world is! The exploitation of unarmed civilians by the nobles protected by the gods is the truth of this world! Whether you accept it or not, this is already a trend that cannot be changed! I am a sixth-order forbidden spell envoy who can't change this kingdom, so what can you two do? "I didn't expect Harrest to break out yet, but La Nina struck first.
Hearing La Nina's series of words, the two teenagers looked shocked, they didn't expect that the girl in front of them had actually reached such a terrifying strength as the sixth order, and what was even more shocking was that the sixth-order magic envoy was actually helpless against the current situation of this world.
"At the meeting just now, that Eddie, who is not a black iron class, dared to deliberately make things difficult for you in front of me, isn't it because of the forces behind him? This world is far from being as simple as you think, and not everything can be solved by force! La Niña came up with fresh examples that convinced the two.
"Well, you don't look like a fool, we're kind of even. But at this late hour, you can't have asked us to come in and admire you, can you? Harrest didn't want to continue questioning the girl in front of him, even if he asked something terrible, he couldn't beat her, so he might as well write it off.
"I think you two should have some strength, because you don't look like fools, but you dare to talk so much at the meeting." La Niña paused, "However, I don't see what class you are at right now. ”
"Want to know? It's very simple, unlock my forbidden spell and tell you right away. Harrest finally found an opportunity to negotiate terms with her.
"It's a bit troublesome to unlock this forbidden spell, you tell me first, and I'll tell you the solution." La Niña looked childlike.
"The two of us are all at the black iron level, okay, now unlock the forbidden spell for Harrest" Rhine on the side did not hesitate to say the strength of the two, after all, Harreste has such an experience, and it is generally thanks to him......
"Oh? Isn't it good to deceive people? How could the strength of the Black Iron level produce that kind of deterrent? La Niña recalled the way Rhine was angry at that moment, and the fire in her eyes seemed to be about to burst out.
"It's black iron, believe it or not, our magic is just like this" Hallester spread his hands, looking like he was pulling down in disbelief.
"Forget it, then black iron is black iron. But as for this forbidden curse, I will be honest with you, there is no solution in the world! La Niña suddenly smirked, and it didn't look like she was lying.
"You're kidding me?" Harrest was furious, and drew his dagger as if he was going to fight hard.
"The reason why it's called a forbidden spell is because there is no curse! But don't worry, there is a time when this forbidden spell will not take effect, and that is that the object of your molestation is your true love. La Niña propped her hands on the bed, letting Harrest's dagger rest around her neck, as this level of weaponry would not hurt her......
Harrester looked into La Niña's eyes, which were close at hand, and there was no hint of lying. In the end, he had to put down the short sword weakly and collapsed beside the bed......
Rhine didn't expect things to be so serious, but from another point of view, there was really nothing wrong with this forbidden spell...... After all, Hallrest had taken him in and out of the kiln at the age of thirteen, and if he let it go, he didn't know how many flowering girls would wither under him......
"Harrest, I wish you the best of luck finding your true love soon...... Rhine could only say this blessing in the end.
If it weren't for the glimmer of chance, Harled's would have been desperate for La Niña by now.
"By the way, I actually have something to explain to you when I asked you to come over." La Nina said as she pulled out a thin piece of parchment from her chest, "Of course, I won't let you die in vain, and after completing the task, I will reward you accordingly!" ”
"What is this? Treasure map? Harrester looked at the map-like parchment, and many places on the parchment were marked in red.
"Well, this is a treasure map, you can hide my treasure in this corresponding place." La Niña said as she found a pile of blue, crystal clear stones out of nowhere.
“......”
“......”
Treasure map, treasure map. The two teenagers didn't expect that they were really going to hide treasures instead of digging treasures with treasure maps......
"These stones are called Blue Spirit Stones, and they are the most magically dense stones of all ores. I've carved circles into these stones, and you hide them in their corresponding locations on this map, and when the next demon attacks, I'll try to guide the Blood Lords who rule this area around these circles and fight against them! "La Niña is not only strong, but she also seems to be extremely thoughtful.
"Why did you entrust the two of us with such an important task, this is a task that involves the lives of countless people?" Rhine frowned solemnly, if this mission is messed up, then La Niña will be completely finished if she can't beat the lord......
"It's because it's about the lives of countless people that I'm leaving it to you two! At this giant gate, I don't know how many people I can trust. La Niña's eyes showed a sense of helplessness.
"Can't you go by yourself? You are beautiful and cute, some people say that the Demon King will not bear to attack you when he sees you! Harreste remembered the bard Cell, and wondered if he was still comfortable in his hometown......
"Although I don't know which idiot said this, I have to say that this may be a fact, after all, I can't find a second one in the world with such a stunning appearance, and it is inevitable that the demon king will be moved when he sees me." La Nina didn't mean to be modest at all, "However, I can't do this task myself, because my goal is too big, and I can easily detect it as soon as I get out of the demon clan." You have a secret method of hidden strength, and this task is perfect for you to do. ”
"Well, this wave of analysis makes a lot of sense, but I refuse." Harrester sat down in his chair and crossed his legs......
"Isn't it looking for death when you go out of the customs at this time, of course I won't agree." At this time, the demons outside are crowded, if they are discovered, with the strength of their two black iron classes, it will be difficult to come back, and Rhine also refused without thinking about it.
"Hehe, don't you want to save the civilians in the Three Domains? At this time, he retreated because he was afraid of death? If that's the case, how are you different from the bunch of garbage at that meeting? La Niña looked a little surprised and angry at the two teenagers' refusal of the request, as if they had been deceived......
Listening to La Nina's words, the two teenagers were stunned. When they first refused, they seemed to be subconscious, like a child retracting his finger from a candle, and didn't think about it that much at all. In retrospect, they did suspect that they were afraid of death.
What's going on? Am I afraid of death? Harrest had never felt afraid of death, and at this moment he questioned himself in his heart.
This operation is life-threatening, but for the sake of the civilians in the Three Domains, it should be worth it, and I didn't hesitate to back down? Rhine also muttered in his heart......
"It's normal to be afraid, because fear is a human ability. The next time they go to the battlefield to act as the main force, they will also be afraid, and the ordinary soldier who stands at the front, the soldier who will die no matter what, he will also be afraid. But! But he still dared to stand there! The so-called bravery, it is not that you are not afraid, but that you are obviously afraid to rush forward! La Niña is not as cold as the two teenagers imagined, it turns out that she has been silently paying attention to those people at the bottom......
What is bravery......
The two teenagers had never thought that not being afraid was brave, but now that they think about it, since they are not afraid, how can they be called brave......
The reason why people are afraid of demons is because demons have no humanity, and they will not hesitate to open their bloody mouths to bite you. People are afraid of demons, just like nobles are afraid of madmen......
"Lord La Nina, I am willing to accept this task and pledge my life to complete it." Hallrest was the first to agree.
"It's a task worth risking with our lives, and I accept it." Harled's all are on, and Rhine will naturally not be left behind.
"Very good, I really didn't mistake you two!" La Niña looked relieved as she watched the two teenagers change. Probably from the beginning she knew that the two teenagers would definitely agree.
After the three of them reached an agreement, they began to analyze the map, and on a large bed, La Nina and two teenagers were prostrate and pointing on the map, analyzing the way to go and the way home......
