Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Quarrel
The barbarian scout scrutinized the oddly shaped weapons on the city's head, a contemptuous smile on his face.
Even if we resist the onslaught of the beast tide, it is nothing, but we have a body that is several times stronger than the beasts.
"Ho...... Ho!" He couldn't help but get excited when he remembered the delicate-skinned females inside the city wall screaming and howling under him, exposing his nakedness and howling at the location of the city wall.
Very insulting movements.
But what can you do with me? Can your spears be projected over such a long distance?
He howled even harder at this thought.
But in the next second, the heavy whistling of arrows pierced his eardrums.
The barbarian's pupils showed a hint of mockery and contempt, in the previous invasion of the air crossing, the human soldiers did not take bows and arrows to strike at them, but this kind of light arrow could not penetrate their skin at all, according to experience, the arrow will break the moment it touches their own skin, at most it will leave a little bruise on the body, and it will not be effective at all.
But the sound of breaking wind ringing in his ears made him feel creepy.
"Collapse!"
The arrows made a tooth-aching crashing sound when they came into contact with the skin, and the racial superiority of the barbarians was most strongly demonstrated at this moment.
However, before the barbarian could smile on his face, the heavy black heavy arrow was not blocked, and after a fraction of a second, the sharp arrow broke through the barbarian's back, and the huge inertia drove him back several meters, and the armor-piercing arrow was castrated and nailed directly into the ground!
"I guess he'd have to shut up. ”
......
When Snow sees the Councillor again, he notices that he is in a low mood and his eyes are bloodshot.
As the leader of the Left Court, the Councillor must have been under tremendous pressure from the Right Court during the time he left the Council, otherwise how could a person who pays so much attention to the image of the Councillor not even pay attention to the oil stains on his cuffs?
"You're back. The councillor smiled reluctantly, "How's that kid doing?"
Snow suddenly felt a sad feeling in his heart, he shook his head and said, "I couldn't change that kid's mind. ”
"Hehe, expected. "We've lost two more companions, and in the current situation, even if that kid joins, we won't be strong enough to protect him until he reaches adulthood." ”
The dead blacksmith is from the Lion City, he is a gentle elder and has a low wariness of people, and if the Right Court wants to choose people to attack, then he is undoubtedly the easiest target.
And Wen Lan was still a little girl, Snow remembered that when she first came to the council, she looked timidly and unfamiliar with everything, like a timid little white rabbit, and after a long period of contact, this little girl completely opened her heart to accept her fellow demon companions.
Snow also promised Wen Lan that when she became an adult, she would take her to the imperial capital to participate in the fireworks festival, which was her greatest wish.
But now......
Thinking of the words of the Empty Ferry Leader and Rant, a warm current welled up in Snow's heart, if the companions can go to the Empty Ferry Territory, they will no longer be threatened with death, they can get warm housing and enough food, I want to tell my companions that the lord of the Empty Ferry Territory is willing to accept us, not only will the demon seed not be discriminated against and abused, but as long as they make corresponding efforts, they can also get respect and official positions!
"Your Excellency, I'm here for this purpose. The lord of the Empty Ferry Lord, Rant, promised that he would accept us and give us housing and land, and in his sphere of influence, we could even become nobles. ”
The councillor was not as excited as Snow had imagined, he was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and said, "Have you forgotten what I went through?"
"My lord, I know that you have prejudices about the human nobility, but I can assure you that Rand is not lying, at least when it comes to accepting the demon seed. Snow's heart sank, anticipating that it would take a lot of effort to convince the Councillor, "He's only using our power to build his territory and all sorts of novel machines, and from what I've seen of him, he's different from other human nobles. ”
"What's the difference?" said the councillor, sneering, putting his hands on his chest and "doesn't he have greedy desires?"
"He said that there is no good or evil in power, and that he never discriminates or dislikes aliens because of some outside factors," Snow explained, "and if he is given time, maybe he can really remove the devil label from our minds." ”
"Against the Holy See, are you sure he has the guts?" asked the councillor incredulously.
"I have never doubted the courage of the Capetian family, whose father was bent on overthrowing the king of the Holy See and replacing him, and his brother who killed the nobles and priests of the Tieliu Kingdom without squeaking, and he once told me......" Snow remembered Rand's words, and an excited expression appeared on his face: "God is dead!"
"This is the age of mankind!"
The councillor came out of the shadows, the expression on his face was cloudy, Snow's words had a great impact on him, if it was true that as he said, the living environment of the Kongdu Territory was much stronger than that of the Arctic Mountains, they were abandoned by the world, hunted down by the Holy See, forced to flee into the cold mountains, enduring hunger caused by lack of food, and constantly guarding against assassinations from the Right Court, all of which made him mentally tense.
"My lord, while the right court has not completely torn its face, make a decision quickly! We can no longer bear the grief of the death of our companion. Snow looked at the back of the councillor and said in a deep voice.
How, exactly, do you choose?
The councillor looked out the window, and the scar on his forehead began to ache again.
Scenes from the past resurfaced in front of me, abandoned by loyal nobles, stripped naked and locked in cages, his wife and daughter killed by soldiers, and he hid in the mountains like a lost dog......
"The story you're telling is compelling and heartwarming enough. "But, I'm sorry, I'm not going to take my companions to a human noble! ”
"My lord, please think again, I can guarantee ......"
"I'd rather die than break my oath and survive under the hands of the nobility!" said the councilor, rubbing his palms, "Go back!"
"You can't put the lives of your fellow human beings at risk for the sake of your own anger. Snow gritted his teeth, "If you continue to stay in the Arctic Mountains, there is only one way to die!"
"Then let me die honorably. The councillor paused, and said, "Just let me go back into the arms of the Dark Eye." ”
"What right do you have to ask those companions to die with you?"
"Snow!" said the Councillor in a sudden rage, "Humans will never be able to coexist with the Demon Seed. If you can't recognize this, then only death awaits you!"
"Huh......" Snow held back the anger in his heart and said word by word: "I only know that if we don't make changes, we will definitely not survive this winter!"
