Chapter Twenty-Eight: Final Preparations
After a night's rest, Pije felt much better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info prepare for the final trial, he must replenish enough physical strength, so the food he eats is high-energy food, and the souls he swallowed yesterday have not yet fully digested it, and he soon feels full.
Sam is here again.
This guy who had nothing to do before seemed to have suddenly found his goal in life in the past two days, and he would walk around this room from time to time, so that rumors had begun to circulate outside that the toad was about to eat swan meat.
It's a pity that the rumored swan is not Annie, but Alice - in the eyes of everyone, no matter how much luck Sam takes, it is already the greatest luck to be able to find a girl like Alice as a lifelong companion in the end.
And today, when the man with an excited face heard the news that Anne was about to leave here, he immediately felt as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, and his whole expression was wooden.
"Move out?" Sem was at a loss, "You're moving out of the city?" I see, those people must have upset you. Don't worry, I'll take care of that......"
"You already know that we are not the people who are supposed to exist in this world. Last time, the goblins came to hunt us down, and wherever we hid, there would be danger everywhere, so we decided to go back. ”
"Oh, back to your world. With so many people chasing you, you should go back......" Sem muttered, suddenly remembering something, and raised his head and asked, "Can I go back with you?" ”
The two girls shook their heads slightly.
In fact, in terms of implementation, this is not a difficult task, but to bring a large living person from the Primordial Plane to Atlantis, you have to consider his network in the Primordial Plane and whether he can adapt to the new environment. And although Sem is physiquely suitable for cultivating into a berserker, after all, there is an old lady to take care of in the primordial plane, and this walk will mean forever.
Crossing the river and tearing down bridges is something that only Pierge often does, but Anne doesn't. Before sending the depressed Sam away, Anne wanted to give him a portion of the inheritance she had received from the Duke of Oran in return, but was refused.
At this point, everything in the primordial plane is almost settled, except for one last thing that remains unattended.
Just then, some sheriffs suddenly approached them. I thought I was in trouble at this last moment, but it turned out that not only was it not a trouble, but it was a happy thing: the last bit of uneasiness was removed.
It turned out that after the two maids were killed last night, the sheriffs who left there did not go back directly, but were suddenly ordered to patrol various intersections in the western suburbs, and when they saw the short people, they were all arrested, and the captors were each rewarded with half a gold coin.
Having lost his shelter, Dasco Popov was eventually found and subdued by three tall magistrates, who, after some torture by the lord of the city, determined that he was the thief who had killed two of the guards.
With the lesson of the last time, in order to prevent this guy from escaping again, the city lord decided to execute him on the spot.
"The lord of the city also found out that yesterday it was these two women and the dwarf who committed the crime together, and after killing the male servant, they wanted to pass the crime on your heads." The young knight standing at the front bowed slightly, "But the truth has finally been revealed, and the Lord of the City has asked me to express my sincere apologies to you on his behalf. ”
Such a result was also expected by Pige. After serving Oran like a dog for so long, but in the end he only got a small part of the inheritance, and the goblin Dasco is psychologically unbalanced, so he came up with such a trick to retaliate, but in the end he killed himself.
But the whole thing is so simple and it's over? He had expected someone to come and ask them to help with the investigation. Also, didn't Dasco poke everything out in the final moments?
"I've already taken all the situations into account." A faint voice suddenly rang out from the bottom of Piger's heart.
Needless to say, this should be the message of Oran's soul. The soul of this Sanctuary-level archmage who had been locked down to a small corner could not control the body of this flame dog, and could only show his existence in this way.
The words in the secret letter that Orlan had written to the lord before his death were unfolding in Pije's mind.
"The Duke of H. Oran warns the Lord of the City that no one is allowed to enter this building for any reason; If anyone spreads the news of my death, kill them all; Do everything in your power to keep Anne Shlast and her companions safe. ”
At the end of the letter, there was a sentence that pierced the heart of the city lord of Huang Yan City: "Please be sure to follow the above regulations, and don't make your own decisions and repeat the mistakes of Brother Ling." ”
After leaving that strange place, the name "Oran" has been echoing in the castle lord's mind. If he remembered correctly, many years ago, his brother killed the son of a nobleman with the surname Oran, and in the end, he was crippled by a master sent down by the upper echelons of the empire.
Could it be such a coincidence that the one who died was the son of the Duke who wrote the letter?
In the face of greater power, the lord of the city, who had not experienced much political struggle but knew his cruelty, had to admit and accept all the conditions in the letter.
……
"In order to express my apologies, the city lord invited the two of you to a banquet in the city lord's mansion in the evening, I wonder if it is convenient for the two of you?" The young knight asked, bowing down.
Tonight, in the dead of night, happens to be the perfect opportunity for Piger to conduct the final trial and open up the planes, and of course he will not accept such an invitation. Although the young knight who was rejected felt a little disappointed, after all, he had been mentally prepared for such a reply, so he did not react much, and left with his subordinates after bowing slightly.
"Anne, are we really going back?" Alice asked. In fact, in her heart, she both missed and resisted Atlantis.
There were her own kind, but their companions showed little kindness to her; There is energy from the Light of her faith, but that also means that she will gain weight again.
Anne didn't speak, and fell into deep thought as she usually thinks about things.
I've been living in the original plane for nearly two years, and now if I want to go back to where I started, will the end be the same as last time, or even worse?
Dead.
After catching the escaped criminals, it was clear that today ushered in a very calm night. The sheriffs who had been patrolling the neighborhood a few days ago resumed their normal rest and went to the Pin Gold Cave that they were familiar with. Flowed away. The western suburbs have once again become a paradise for insects and other nocturnal animals.
