Act 58: The King of the Underworld (9) (Adjustment)
The underworld was shrouded in endless darkness, long tunnels silent, except for the crackling of groundwater seeping into the rock formations overhead after an earthquake and then dripping to the ground. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels
This kind of voice only sounded once in a long time in the deep depths where the fingers could not be seen.
After driving off a large number of uninvited guests from the underground, Medisa "also had to stop and rest." Although she is a ghost, it does not mean that the active course of the tireless soul fire restrains the ability of the undead creature to act on a certain course.
She didn't need light, though, as a faint glow lurked in her pupils in the darkness, allowing her to see far away in the absence of light.
The silver elf princess did not sit down, but gathered her gun in one hand to rest on the rock wall, and her body was covered with fragments of rock leopards, and these mutilated corpses were scattered far away.
Unlike Brando, she was attacked almost as soon as she entered this level, and she fought her way to get here. After a moment of silence, the silver elf princess asked the other side in the darkness, "Is there a lift over here?" Medisa wasn't alone in the darkness, the only sound of breathing came from the other side of the tunnel.
"Yes."
The voice replied.
But Medisa was not reassured, and as soon as she finished speaking, she pressed the spear in her hand and looked warily in the direction from which she came. But as soon as she turned around, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she blurted out, "My lord." β
It was none other than Brandor and Akane.
They raised the illumination crystal in their hands and shot the light in this direction, not too surprised when they saw Metisa, "They were originally following the mark left by the little princess of the silver elf.
When I found out that the so-called "powerful guy, maybe Medisa", Brando was not too surprised, there were only a few of them in this underground, either the silver elf princess or Kuran" or Yuta did not have this strength.
But when they saw another person in the illuminated range, they froze for a moment.
"MΓ©tisa." Brando asked, "What is this?" When he saw Kuran sitting on the ground without saying a word, he suddenly couldn't turn his brain. This old man, who had been majestic before, was now wolfless, his forehead, face, and blue-gray military uniform were covered with blood, and his gray hair was also messy.
"Mr. Curran is wounded." Medisa replied that the elven princess had wisely stopped at the moment, and that there were more words buried in her heart. But she knew that "Brando must know what she meant."
But the old man snorted, "If you are a prisoner, you will be a prisoner, what is there to hide." However, this little girl saw that my old bones were still a little useful, and signed a non-aggression agreement with me for the time being. He squinted at Brando, "But she has a lot of respect for you, boy, and the final word is up, my lord, and it's up to you, say" Kill or chop?" He said this verbally, but in his heart he couldn't help but scold this elf girl for being cunning. At that time, when the mine collapsed, the first reaction of everyone present was to protect themselves first, as if they had stepped out of an instinct to save themselves, even if they were gold-level depositors.
But what Kuran didn't expect was that not everyone present was, living beings.
The first thing Medisa did when the landslide was not to retreat to safety, "but to attack him as the rocks rolled down." This is a completely deadly style of play, even if he is as steady as Curlan, he couldn't help but be startled at the time.
However, the battle of the gold level one decided the outcome in an instant, although Curlan's absolute strength far surpassed that of Metisa, but before he came, he pursued Brando with all his strength to no avail, and he had already consumed his sharp energy, "Second, when the landslide shook the mountain, he was not mentally prepared at all", and as a result, he was seriously injured by Metisa's hand.
In the end, if this little girl hadn't dragged him out of the rocks, it is estimated that he would have died in a mining disaster with a dignified golden power.
However, grievance is grievance, but he has to admire Metisa's courage, and in that situation, he may not dare to make the same choice. Defeated by the enemy on the battlefield, whatever the reason, Kuran, as a veteran, has nothing to say.
However, he knew that Medisa was just a ghost, and he probably wanted to cry out in his heart that he would regret underestimating the enemy.
And listening to his words" The young man nodded slightly and asked, "Promise?" "The old gentleman promised to take me to you and leave here and return to the surface" He is familiar with the terrain here. There were tunnels there, where they connected to the upper floor, where they could be opened without causing a larger collapse, he knew it", said Medisa in a delicate tone, in a constant tone, though in Cruz, "but it seemed that she could naturally utter a kind of elven aria, "My lord, there is an elevator not far ahead" leading to the main mine on the third floor, where there are many transport lanes leading to the surface in all directions, "should not all be blocked." β
She smiled slightly: "If it weren't for the old gentleman, I wouldn't have found this place so quickly." β
Brando knew that she was probably talking about the elevator that Curwen and they came down from, and he remembered that the mine was very large, with three wooden rails, he nodded, and glanced at Kuran: "What are his conditions?" β
"Let the old gentleman speak for himself."
Curran glanced at Brando again, "Boy, I know what you're up to. Originally, I didn't have much to say as a prisoner, but now you can take over this place as you wish, as short as a month, or as long as three months, and Pallas will not notice any clues. β
He paused: "As for my conditions, it's very simple, I don't want to end up with Grudin. β
He got it? Brando's heart was slightly shocked. The riots in Fir City can't be hidden, but not everyone knows about Grudin's life and death afterwards. It is well known that "a rebellion in Eruin's territory is not a big deal, but with the exception of a few unlucky ones, I have not heard of a powerful lord being killed in the rebellion."
Therefore, after the rebellion in Fir City, most people should have guessed that Grudin had fled through the GuΓ² secret tunnel. And only a few high-ranking members of the Brando's group really knew that Grudin was too dead to die.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Kuran deeply, "If the outside world has already learned of Grudin's death", then the nature of this matter is completely different. Sir Pallas probably couldn't wait to send his troops at once, and Count Denel probably wouldn't give Tonigel more time to "settle this problem himself." If the old fox sensed that this territory was in danger of secession, it was estimated that it would take less than two weeks for the army to crush the territory.
Brando's hope was to rely on the asymmetry of news to buy time, and if Count Denel did not confirm whether Grudining was dead, then he would be inclined to let the unsuccessful son solve the troubles in his own territory.
Because at that time, in the eyes of the other party, they were still a group of mobs, and in the eyes of the nobles, mobs were nothing to fear, "Grudin's subordinates still have a lot of retainers, aren't they?" But as soon as Grudin died, "this ding...... Bu Xiao's rebellion was tantamount to a rebellion, and although he knew that he was indeed engaged in a rebellion, even if this rebellion was not intended to divide Eruin, his actions were tantamount to a challenge to the strictest rules of the game in the eyes of the nobles.
And in his plan, when the Earl of Denel is made aware of this, it should at least be after the defeat of Sir Mintai and Ser Pallas.
He had at least a month or two before that.
But as if Kuran had read through his thoughts, the old man smiled mysteriously, "You don't have to worry, it's just some rumors outside. But when I saw you appearing here, I knew in my heart that eighty percent of the people in Fir City were not mobs at all! β
With that, he shook his head slightly: "But I don't know if you are crazy or I am crazy" Since the year of Jean, Eruin has not had a rebellion for nearly a hundred years. β
Brando nodded.
The Year of the Jean is the era of the reign of Hesse I, known as King of the Great Road, who is arguably the most notorious king in the history of Eruin and one of the last rulers of the West Phach dynasty, a name that derives from the fact that he even privately organized armies to rob all the merchants who passed through Eruin, both domestic and foreign.
He openly declared that all the property on the road in Eruin belonged to him, and that "the merchants who walked on it had to pay two-thirds of the goods to him, and this act akin to that of the king of the mountain annoyed everyone but him." As a result, Hesse I reigned for only three years before he was ousted from the throne: "He was even the only king in the history of Eruin to die at the hands of an angry populace."
Of course, from the table of His Majesty the king, we can see the situation of the people in the territory of Eruin at that time. It was the darkest era in Eruin's history besides this era, and if it weren't for the rise of Madara, the chaos of Eruin today would be far less than it was then.
Because it was also the most frequent time in Eruin's history of uprisings, riots, and rebellions, you must know that in Vaughnde's world, you will hardly see the word uprising in historical documents. However, perhaps this is the so-called national power and luck, and Madara will eventually be raised through Eru, so under the same circumstances, the Corkova dynasty at that time can flourish, but under better conditions, Her Royal Highness Princess Griffiin's change of grass has failed.
But Brando didn't have time to sigh, and first shook his head: "This condition is too vague, we can naturally coexist peacefully here, but once you leave the underground and reach the surface, how can you ensure that you don't run away to ventilate and report the news?" β
It was not unreasonable for him to think so, if it was a caveman, he could still make Tajib swear to their gods, but humans are probably the least faithful people in the world, although they often talk about Lord Martha verbally, but even if they swear to Martha, most of them are not true.
Brando, who is human himself, certainly understands this more clearly. But Kuran spread his hands and said, "The old man is seriously injured now, and he can't run away if he wants to." βοΌ
