Chapter 135: The Covenant War
Streams stained red with blood......
Headless corpses lying on the ground......
and Matthew, who has been fainting for a long time......
Although this headache has become worse after teleporting here, even Roque has some blurred vision. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
But when he saw the familiar face of Matthew, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the secret of the God of Gambling has worked......" Roque said through gritted teeth, manipulating his body with great perseverance towards the direction where Matthew had fainted.
Roque walked over to Matthew's side and probed his index finger under Matthew's nostrils to make sure she had only fainted before he began to look around.
When he saw the corpse with its head gone, he froze.
"This guy...... Is that Finn's henchman? Roque didn't mean anything disgusted, and went up to rummage through it, and finally found a strange item in the guy's clothes.
Roark tinkered with this thing a few times, and saw a badge representing the Sage's Tower on the metal shell on the back, which made him suddenly realize: "It seems that Finn is relying on this thing to give orders." β
At that moment, there was a loud sound from the contact, followed by Finn's angry voice: "Ellifer! Don't you want to do it! It's been so long and you haven't even sent the image, do you want me to teach you how to do it myself? β
Roque sneered, and said in a mocking tone to the contactor, "Even if you Captain Finn comes here in person, I'm afraid you won't be able to teach him." But I don't know how to make Captain Finn so worried, and even do such a despicable and shameless thing, it really makes me Roark ashamed! β
"......" heard Roque's voice from the other side, and Finn almost threw the contact device in his hand.
Finally accepting the message, Finn said gloomily, "...... Roque? I don't know why you're there, but now that you've discovered my purpose, I'm not going to lie to you. In a word, will you give me the holy quartz in your hand? If you refuse to give it to me...... Then I'll have to report your possession of this thing to the Council of Elders. How will your little friend Curto be treated then...... I can't guarantee that. β
"Finn. Have you ever heard of a saying, 'Treasures dwell in those who are virtuous', and people like you who will do anything to achieve their ends do not deserve to have a treasure like Saint Quartz. Moreover, I believe that you will not really disclose this kind of information to others, and it will not do you any good to do it in doing so. β
"Oh? So you're going to reject me? β
"You don't have to rush. I now carry the Saint Quartz with me, hundreds of miles away from Urushar. If you really want to, we can make an appointment to meet somewhere. Will you be able to get the treasure from me then...... It's up to you. Roque said calmly.
It's not that he doesn't want to refuse, but as Finn said, Kurto, who is still in the Sage's Tower, is undoubtedly an important reason why Roque can't let go of his means (Roque doesn't know that Emilia has escaped), and if there is the slightest compromise in his words, I believe that Finn's greedy personality will have to strip Roque's underwear naked.
ββ¦β¦ Covenant War? That's acceptable to me. It's just that I'm not worried about you...... With super swordsmen like Chris around me, and Leon with equally amazing strength, I don't dare to go head-to-head with them......" Finn's tone suddenly became yin and yang, with a hint of hysterical madness in his words.
Hearing this, Roque frowned: "Since you are afraid of them, then I promise you not to inform them." We solve it one-on-one, and life and death are determined by destiny! β
"Huh...... Name a location. β
"Remember the town we came in? The town called Kamel, where we'll have a fair fight, and there's hardly anyone there. β
"Yes." Finn cut the connection directly.
Roque silently removed the contact, his brow already wrinkled in pain.
"From what I know about Finn, he's not the kind of person who is willing to fight fairly, and it's this kind of life-and-death battle that costs so much that I don't know what he's going to do when the time comes. But......" Roque looked back at Matthew, who was breathing, "and it's too late to think about anything else. Whether it's my current injuries or Matthew, I have to find a place to rest as soon as possible. β
"And," Roque heard the roar of the approaching monster, "and if I don't leave, I won't be able to leave." β
Roque picked up Matthew's petite body, clamped it under his armpit, and began to run away from the place in a frenzy.
Behind him, a large number of black shadows faintly appeared......
β¦β¦
In the dark room, there was the sound of shredding objects.
"Bastard!! Rubbish!!! I can't even do this bit of!! How the hell did that guy Roque know about my plan? And how good to be there? Could it be that there is a mole among us? Finn's face darkened and frightened, and he began to wonder if he had been betrayed, so he leaked the news.
After a long time, the heavy wheezing gradually stopped.
A strange smell permeated the room.
ββ¦β¦ No matter how powerful you are, as long as I open this bottle of 'Goddess's Fragrance' for you to inhale, your doom is already doomed." Hey...... Don't blame me, since you have to fight to the death with me, I can't make you feel too easy......" Finn's laughter grew more and more eerie, and a looming phantom appeared in the darkness, but Finn seemed to be unable to see at all......
β¦β¦
"Hi, Leon. Did you just see Roque? Leon was lying on the bed with his eyes closed when Chris pushed the door open.
"Your injuries are healed? I advise you to rest a little longer, otherwise it will be too worthless to leave any dark wounds. β
"It's fine. I feel great right now. But that guy from Roque just looked ...... Makes me care. Chris recalled Roque's gaffe just now, and felt that this matter was not simple.
"That look?" Leon couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Chris standing in the doorway.
"Hmm...... How do you say that...... It's like hearing that the girl you love has been abducted. Chris thought about it for a long time, and suddenly came up with such a metaphor.
ββ¦β¦ Ha? β
β¦β¦
It's cold......
And this feeling ......
Matthew felt in a daze that he was being led by someone to run.
The figure that gradually appeared in front of me seemed very familiar.
Is it Brother Roque?
So you've come to my rescue.
I'm sorry.
Always ask you to save me.
Save me, an incompetent man who is too weak to even lift a stone.
Roque didn't notice that a few tears were scribbling across Matthew's cheeks under his armpits, which quickly drifted away in the wind.
Ahead of him, the outline of the familiar town had become clear, and he remembered that the noble knight Galahad was buried here.
"Soon, I'm going to have to fight to the death again. Galahad, now I can understand how you felt. Not to fight for yourself, not because you have a reason to do it, just because you don't want to regret itβ"
