Chapter 564: Unholy Alliance
What do you do when you see a suspicious person?
There are two options, cut him or interrogate him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Monterosa thought for a moment, ticked the second item, and then moved his gaze to the next line...... What would you do if a panicked-looking person claimed to be on a secret mission arranged by his superiors?
Again, there are two options, cut him or discern if he's lying.
Monterosa thought for a moment, fearing that the questionnaire was a test of loyalty and stance, and he looked at every word on the paper again, without mentioning the undead, the Light, or the fallen Renault.
There shouldn't be any political problems, thinking so, he ticked the second item again, and the third question became a little more complicated: you are hungry and you are about to die of lack of food, and you happen to see a strange traveler, you ask him for food, but he refuses, what will you do?
There was no option this time, it was a question and answer, and after a little thought, Monterosa wrote in the blank: If I still have the strength, I will try to take his food, and then find a way to compensate him; If I am not sure of overcoming him, I will continue to beg him to make up stories that will dispel his hostility and sympathize with me......
Before he could finish it, the questionnaire was taken away by the impatient pastor, who saw a large stack of answers in the pastor's hand—the top two items were ticked off, and the last question was scrawled with the words 'Cut him'.
Monterosa suddenly felt that he had too much to do, and he believed that most of them, except for the most illiterate people, had cut from the first to the third.
He spent three days in a state of trepidation, and while the new commander didn't like to arrest and torture people, the jurors, who were as excited as if they had drunk the blood of demons, might be even more difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, his outrageous answer attracted attention.
Two knights caught up with him, dragged him to the chapel despite his objections, and then pushed him forward, slowly closing the two heavy doors behind him, which had been repaired.
Every trial was held in the chapel, and Monterosa, who was half dead in terror, did not notice that it was very dark in the auditorium, and as his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, he saw a long table in the middle of the auditorium, and the girl seated in the main seat beckoned to him.
"Do you know who I am?"
Hearing the crisp voice, and seeing the face of the person who spoke clearly, Monterosa hurriedly trotted forward, knowing of course who she was, and bent down to salute, "Of course, honorable commander, Miss Mograine. ”
"Do you know them?"
Loria waved her hand as she spoke, and the guards pulled back the curtain over the stained glass, and the light penetrated through the sides of the chapel, illuminating the majestic and sacred place, and she pointed to the two men sitting on her left and right.
Monterosa looked over, and one of them stared at the ring on his hand with a straight face, frowning; The other smiled gently at him, giving him the feeling of a spring breeze...... Monterosa shrunk his neck, realizing that the latter was dangerous.
"The ...... on your left." Monterosa hesitated, he became more and more confused about what kind of tricks Loria was playing, and could only answer honestly, "It's the Governor of Snowman, the Count of DeCalion." ”
He nodded slightly at the count, but the latter did not raise his eyes at him, it was rumored that the count of Decalion had some contradictions with the new commander, but at the most critical time, he was on the right side.
There is no doubt that the Count de Carlion has been rewarded like the rest of the bettors, and he is still firmly in the position of Governor of Snowman, perhaps for generations to come.
"The other is Count Bogdanoska, your diplomatic adviser." Monterosa deliberately kept himself from looking at those smiling eyes, he had contact with Bogdanoska, a terrible person who kept a smile at all times...... Just like everyone's new boss.
"What about your previous job?" Loria didn't give Monterosa time to think carefully, and asked one after another, "What kind of work did you do before the war?" ”
"I worked as a warehouse clerk in the army, and before the war, I was a customs broker, you know, on the docks all day long, dealing with all kinds of people, trying to find ways to register their goods......"
"I see."
Loria interrupted him, and then whispered a discussion with the two nobles beside her, and Monterosa stood nervous and anxious, trying to hear what they were saying, but hearing only one word repeated over and over again—cut him.
Half an hour later, Loria looked at Monterosa, who was about to die of fright, and changed her expression to a slightly more serious expression, "Now, please sit down." ”
She tapped on the table in front of her and motioned for Monterosa to sit down, explaining, "We need you to complete a task, you are the only one of the literate people who seems to be sane and can recognize us...... Don't worry, Count de Calion feels that you are always looking at what is going on around you, and this will help you get ahead of your work. ”
The new commander meant new opportunities, and in the purge of Renault and the coup d'état of Loria, only a small number of officers and professional staff remained in their posts, and everyone aspired to one day be promoted...... Monterosa could not believe that he could be so lucky, and he sat down beside the Count de Carlion in a daze, who even nodded to him.
Well, what's his new position? Scout Captain? Spy? Or is it the clerk of some big man?
"In the next few days, you will learn something from Count Bogdanoshka and then participate in the greeting of the emissary." Loria tossed Monterosa a stack of papers, "Finally, you will travel to the South Seas as an emissary for me and the Scarlet Crusades. ”
Emissary? South China Sea?
Monterosa stared at the handwriting on the paper.
Plunder Island ...... Bloodsail Pirates......
……
He has long known that he lives in a world of deception and deception, but the role he plays has never been the one who has been deceived.
On the sixth day at sea, he learned from the sailors' conversations that the ship, St. Mary, had been a merchant ship of Kurtilas, had been converted into a small warship with eight guns during the invasion of the undead, and that the warship, which lacked firepower, or merchant ship with a small cargo hold, had been sold to his niece at a low price, along with a handful of sailors.
She's a master of deception, and now she's had a chance to clean up the monastery, kill a few soldiers who were truly loyal to her, and associate him with the undead in plain sight...... Not only that, but she also got rid of herself and Whiteman's troubles.
Renault knew where he was going next...... He and Whitemane would be thrown on a deserted island in the North Sea, staring at the monotonous waters all day long and dying.
He failed, completely failed.
The ship shook violently, and Renault, who was locked in the small cabin, slammed into the plank, and gradually, the shaking became more and more violent, and he heard numerous panicked shouts, and the loud sound of the wood tearing, and after a tumultuous spin, everything was quiet again.
All that remained was his maniacal laughter soaked in the water.
Sink him, let him and his cursed fate, along with Loria's self-righteousness, sink into the sea. (To be continued.) )
