Chapter 817: Cooperation
Chapter 817: Cooperation
Shatara walked quietly in the passage, it was late at night, there were not many torches lit in the passage, the surrounding light was a little dim, plus her black sè robe, and the same black sè on her head, blocking most of her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly, making her look very weird at this moment.
Shatara could notice the awe-inspiring look in the eyes of the Jīng soldiers guarding the passageway when they looked at her, and she enjoyed the feeling, but she also knew that it was the identity of her dress that made them so awe-inspiring, not herself.
She is the leader of the Lunaris Order.
The leader of the Moon Shadow organization, who made many nobles talk about it in the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, and couldn't help but give birth to it.
The Moon Shadow organization has a long history in the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, this is an independent organization that is only responsible for the Jīng Spirit King alone, and is free from the power structure of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, the Moon Shadow is only loyal to the Jīng Spirit King, and they handle all kinds of shady things for the Jīng Spirit King, but it is worth mentioning that unless the Jīng Spirit King deems it necessary, they are less active outside the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, and under normal circumstances, the main scope of Moon Shadow's activities are in the country, Their main task was to spy on the nobility of the country, especially the great lords of the separatist side, and to use all means necessary to eliminate what the King of Jīng considered a potential threat, including, of course, assassination.
Over the years, every Jīng Spirit King has been able to firmly control the power, making those lords who have soldiers and food in their hands obey him, and Moon Shadow is absolutely indispensable, and their powerful deterrent power is a sharp blade for the Jīng Spirit King to consolidate his power and eradicate dissent.
In fact, if it weren't for Vikna's rebellion and concealing the information in her hands, even Farouk's Luàn might not have escaped the eyes of Jīng Spirit King Parson, and maybe she would have been strangled in the blue.
This time, in the midst of the throne wind, the Moon Shadow Organization also shined, and it was precisely because of their cooperation that the Gru who was ordered to capture those jīng spirit nobles was able to act so smoothly.
And every leader of the Moon Shadow Organization has become the object of great hatred among the jīng spirit nobles, but with the protection of the jīng spirit king, plus his whereabouts have always been secretive, except for a few unlucky guys, most of the leaders of the moon shadow organization xiǎo have a very nourishing life.
Shatara is a very successful Moon Shadow Leader, her Xiǎo heart is cautious, so that she does not want to say her true identity in the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, even her true face is rarely known, Jīng Spirits only know that every time this Moon Shadow Leader appears, it is a black sè robe with the symbol Xìng, and she wears a jīng ring on her hand that represents her identity as the leader of the Moon Shadow, with the jīng spirit royal family logo and the Moon Shadow mark, made of some rare material.
At the end of the passage was a large mén, and outside of the mén stood two Guardians of the Jungle, and after reaching out to each other to show the ring representing their identity, the mén opened, and Shatara slowly walked into the mén.
Tonight, Shatara came to see Gru, the regent of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, who was now the regent, and just a few days ago, the King of Jīng Ling transferred all the affairs of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom to Jiāo Gru, but he himself concentrated on healing.
Shatara didn't know what was going on with Gru, she hadn't received any information about what action anyone was planning to take because she was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the jīng spirit king, and the great purge caused by the throne wind bō some time ago was still fresh in her memory, and no fool should jump out at such a time to make trouble.
Thinking of Gru, Shatara felt a little that the world was impermanent.
In a sense, Gru can actually be regarded as a member of the Moon Shadow, back then, it was Shatara who single-handedly trained the most successful spy in the history of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, although she had long known Gru's true identity, but she never thought that Gru would one day be a supreme minister in the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, and even give orders to herself to a certain extent, obviously he was only a half-jīng spirit.
Shatara is even a little afraid of Gru now, this half-jīng spirit is one of the very few characters she can't see through her mind, the half-jīng spirit makes her unable to catch Mō, but to her chagrin, the half-jīng spirit seems to be loyal to Parson, deeply trusted by Parson, and has no conflict of interest with her, the two of them are at peace, friends and enemies.
Behind the mén was a small side hall in which Gru was waiting for Shatara to arrive, and for some reason, the moment she saw Gru, Shatara felt a little uneasy.
Something seems to be wrong.
Shatara thought as her eyes swept around the side hall before finally spotting the problem.
The guards standing in the corners of the hall were all those Jungle Guardian Warriors in green cloaks without exception, not the usual Jīng Spirit Clan Guards, and the faint killing aura on these Jungle Guardian Warriors showed that they were all the jīng Rui of the rest of the battle.
Then she remembered that a considerable part of the guards outside the passage seemed to have been replaced with these Jīng Rui Jungle Guardian Warriors, who were obviously subordinates of Gru's lineage.
Her uneasiness deepened, and she had a premonition as if something was about to happen.
"You're here!"
Gru, who was standing in the corner of the side hall admiring the mural on the wall, turned to say hello to Shatara, and his tone was as natural as when he met and greeted an old friend.
"I wonder what instructions Lord Gru has for me to come here?"
Shatara suppressed her uneasiness, saluted Gru, and then asked why the other party had come to her.
"There are no instructions, but there is something I want to show Mistress Shatara, and I think you will be surprised when you see it!"
Gru turned to look at Shatara, and as he spoke, he motioned for the other to come with him.
"Come with me, Lord Shatara, I'm sure you'll find it worthwhile!"
Shatara hesitated for a moment before following Gru out of the side room, knowing that at this point, she had no better choice than to do what the other party said.
As if seeing Shatara's uneasiness, Gru smiled faintly: "Don't be so nervous, Lord Shatara, I don't have any ill will towards you, I don't care about the past, you are in my Guardian of the Jungle troops, and I don't mind, because I know that this is not your intention, you are just acting on orders!" ”
Shatara's face changed slightly, "I don't understand what you mean, Lord Gru?" ”
"I've also been trained by you, Lord Shatara, and although the men you sent out are bright, they can't hide from my eyes!" Gru continued to walk without looking back, and he led Shatara into a passage leading to the lower level of the castle, several Jungle Guardian warriors followed closely behind the two, "Moreover, that jīng spirit you sent is now my right-hand man, she is very capable, I like her very much, and I trust her, maybe you didn't notice, in fact, she is behind us now." ”
Shatara glanced back in disbelief, and when she noticed that one of the Guardian of the Jungle warriors had lifted the hood from her head and pulled out a face that she was not a stranger to, her face finally changed completely.
She never imagined that Gru would have the ability to subdue his subordinates for his own use.
In this way, I am afraid that most of the information about Gru that I got before is fake? At this thought, Shatara's uneasiness was even worse, for she had realized that in this case, Gru's loyalty to Parson might have been marked with a big question mark, and that he had a plan to dare to have such a showdown with herself.
"What the hell do you want to do, Lord Gru?"
Turning back to look at the nvjīng spirit who had betrayed the Moon Shadow Organization, Shatara asked in an astringent voice.
"Don't be bored, Lord Shatara, just follow me, and you'll understand everything!" Gru still walked forward without looking back.
Soon after, under Gru's leadership, Shatara, who was already unable to help herself, made her way through a few dark méns to a dark room in the castle's basement.
There are also several Jungle Guardian warriors in the dark room.
Shatara noticed that in one corner of the dark room, there was a prison cell, which indicated that the dark room was actually a dark cell.
What made Shatara concerned was that with the help of the torches on the wall of the dark room, she saw what appeared to be someone lying on a large chuáng in the cell.
Who could it be that Gru was locked up here so secretly? Does this person have anything to do with himself? Why did Gru go out of his way to bring himself to see this person?
"Open!"
She was suspicious that Gru had someone open the mén in the cell, and Gru made a gesture of invitation to her.
"Go in and have a look, Lord Shatara, and you'll understand everything when you see it!"
Shatara took a deep breath, trying to calm her mood at this moment, and then carried Tuǐ into the cell, followed by Gru.
Perhaps it was a deliberate act on the part of Gru, but the light in the cell was much brighter than the outside, so Shatara could easily see the face of the man lying on the chuáng.
It was a face that Shatara knew all the more.
"How is this possible!"
When she saw that face clearly, Shatara finally couldn't help but exclaim, her face was full of horror.
Then she covered her mouth and trembled and took a few steps back, until she hit the iron fence of the cell behind her, and then stopped.
"How is this possible!"
She screamed, her voice trembling in the same way, and then she looked at Gru in shock and anger, "What the hell is going on! Greug-sama, why, why is this happening! ”
She pointed to the man on the chuáng and asked the calm-looking half-jīng spirit in a loud voice, "Isn't the King of the Forest healing?" Why is he here? ”
Lying on the chuáng in the prison cell was none other than the ruler of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, Jīng Spirit King Parson.
Shatara felt like she was going almost crazy.
She couldn't believe what she had just seen, the high Jīng Spirit King, who was said to be undergoing some kind of treatment, had appeared in this secret prison.
And looking at Parson's appearance at this time, he was completely unconscious.
In this case, it is obvious that Parson is not being treated, he is simply being kept here by Gru like a prisoner.
How dare Gru do this, how can he do this, why can he do all this?
But her question was not answered, and Gru just stood there quietly, looking at her in horror.
Then Shatara noticed that the rest of the room was unresponsive to Parson's being held here, as if it were a matter of course.
Shatara suddenly understood.
Gru, as well as the jungle guardian warriors of the Jīng Spirit Clan in front of him, have already betrayed the Jīng Spirit King Parson.
Gasping for air, Shatara desperately tried to calm herself down, but her proud emotional control ability lost its due effect for the first time in the face of the terrible truth, she couldn't control her body and kept shaking, her eyes were full of despair.
She thought that Gru would not let her go, she was Parson's most loyal eagle dog and minions, and the half-jīng spirit wanted a coup d'état, and of course there was a reason to get rid of her.
She didn't intend to resist, there was a short knife hidden under her robe, and a magic scroll, so she didn't even touch it, because she knew very well that the Guardian of the Jungle warriors outside the prison who had already taken off the jīng spirit longbow would turn themselves into hedgehogs before she could make a move, and even without these Guardians of the Jungle, she would not have the confidence to defeat Gru and escape from here.
She closed her eyes in resignation.
But after a long time, nothing happened, no arrows shuffled at her, no swords slashed at her, no one even spoke, the darkness was silent, all she could hear was the crackling of torches and the sound of her own heavy breathing.
She reopened her eyes in disbelief, only to find that Gru was still standing there, not even moving, the expression on his face was still so calm, and the Jungle Guardian warriors were just standing there with jīng longbows on guard.
It seems that the other party has no intention of killing her.
Yes, if you want to kill yourself, why bother to bring yourself here so much, along the way, the other party has too many opportunities to start, and the other party has other plans.
Thinking of this, Shatara couldn't help but smile bitterly, but when she saw Parson lying on the chuáng, her wry smile froze on her face.
At this point, Gru finally spoke.
"Looks like you've calmed down, Lord Shatara, so now can we have a good talk?"
He looked at Shatara and said.
"You want the Moonshadow?" Shatara asked angrily, she wasn't a fool, and after the initial shock and horror had passed, she immediately understood the other party's purpose.
"Yes, I want Moon Shadow! Because of Moon Shadow's help, I, the regent, can do a more stable job! Gru nodded slightly, "You're a smart man, Lord Shatara, so presumably you won't reject me?" ”
Shatara didn't answer Gru, but instead asked rhetorically, "Jīng's illness was caused by you?" ”
Gru nodded again.
"That Doctor Caoyào, you also arranged it?"
Gru nodded again.
Shatara was silent.
Although he had already guessed the answer, Gru's admission of everything was his ploy still made the leader of the Moon Shadow Order, who considered himself the most profound city, feel a deep sense of fear.
Looking at Gru, she suddenly understood a lot of things.
Everything is a jīng heart planning yīn scheme.
This half-jīng spirit first used a method to make Parson look like he had a common disease, and succeeded in provoking the greed of other members of the jīng spirit royal family and nobles for the throne of jīng spirit, and allowing himself to gain more power from Parson.
Then with the help of Parson's hand, he did not leave a trace, and justifiably eradicated many jīng spirit nobles who had been against him, paving the way for his own ascendancy, and now in the jīng spirit kingdom, who else dares to question the power of this half-jīng spirit?
In the end, the half-jīng spirit used the healing as the bait, so that Parson willingly surrendered power, and with Parson's order, no one dared to say anything to the superior of the half-jīng spirit, and he took over everything justifiably.
If he gets the support of Moon Shadow, who is monitoring many jīng spirit nobles, the current position of the half-jīng spirit will be even more stable, if anyone dares to oppose him, he can use the moon shadow to take some actions, and even act under the sign of the jīng spirit king, because as we all know, the moon shadow has always only obeyed the jīng spirit king, and Parson did not publicly reveal that he could not contact the outside world this time, as soon as the moon shadow made a move, those guys who were against Gru would definitely think, Could it be that the king of jīng is secretly indulging everything? So it's no surprise that Gru wants Moon Shadow.
It's just that Shatara doesn't understand that although all this of Gru's plan is clever, the power he has gotten is only temporary, after all, how will the half-jīng spirit clean up the mess after more than a year? If Parson hadn't shown up by then, it would have been impossible for the jīng spirits to agree that a half-jīng spirit would continue to rule over them.
In this case, he and he were in the same stream, and in the end it was inevitable to end up miserable, but the time was delayed for more than a year.
When the time comes, Gru, who is protected by a group of loyal subordinates, may be able to escape, but she, the leader of the Moon Shadow Organization, will have to be eaten alive by those jīng spirits who have discovered the truth, and I am afraid that even the Moon Shadows under her command will no longer obey her.
Shatara was torn between what to do.
If you don't obey Gru now, it must be a dead end, obey Gru, it will still be a dead end in the future, if you want to be a snake, I'm afraid it won't work, Gru won't be stupid enough to keep Parson here after she came here, and it's not feasible to rescue Parson, and she doesn't know what method Gru used to make Parson sane from time to time, and she doesn't know what the situation is with Parson who doesn't know now, if he is rescued, he can't make Parson sober, Or there was an accident in the rescue operation, she, a street rat without an umbrella, was afraid that it would still be a dead end in that húnluàn situation, whether it was Gru or those jīng spirit nobles would not let her go, even if there was a new jīng spirit king, she would not be soft on her, a derelict subordinate who indirectly killed the previous jīng spirit king.
At this time, Gru seemed to have seen through Shatara's thoughts, and opened his mouth again: "Lord Shatara, please don't forget one thing, King Jīng has already appointed his heir!" The problems you were worried about will no longer exist because of this, and in a year's time, the Spirit King may be someone else, but as long as we work together, I will still be the Regent, and you will still be the Lord of the Moon Shadow, believe me, we will work together quite happily, and with me, you will find out how wonderful the taste of power is! ”
Shatara was stunned.
After a long silence, she finally made up her mind.
She lifted the hood from her head and put her true face in front of Gru, and a smile appeared on her still pretty face.
"I see, Lord Gru, it's the greatest honor of Shatara's life to work with you and serve you!"
