Chapter 277: Sliding Neck

While the Chaldean trio were trying to get information from Osmandis, Lu Xiao had already initially gained the trust of Hassan.

Bai Maung told Lu Xiao some of the immediate information that did not involve the core secrets of the people of the mountains, including the Holy Pull Ceremony that would be held outside the Holy Capital City in the near future.

The Assasin Order's Hassan is not as powerful as the Knights of the Round Table, but their intelligence-gathering skills are unmatched by the heavily armored knights.

Hassan, including Baek Maung, has long since learned the truth about the so-called holy bath ceremony.

When Lu Xiao was introduced to his own residence in the West Village, and when he talked about the Holy Baking ceremony, a sneer appeared on Bai Xiang's face.

"A sacred selection ceremony? No kidding. ”

"It was just one bloody massacre after another, and only a few of the thousands of people in the selection team were selected to live in the Holy Capital, where is this brutal act sacred?"

Lu Xiao frowned and asked, "Don't the local residents know that Shengba is a massacre?" Why did they go to all the trouble to get to the Holy Capital? ”

Bai Xiang showed a bitter expression when he heard this: "Many of the refugees know the truth, but they also have to do it. ”

"Since the world became a special point, the natural resources that could barely support the local population have been rapidly depleted, the oases have dried up, and most of the flowers and trees have withered and withered."

"It's like a curse on the land, and it's becoming less and less fit for humans...... No, it is not suitable for all life. ”

Bai Xiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountains outside the window: "There are barely wild beasts to be hunted in this mountainous area today, but their numbers are also decreasing dramatically. ”

"In the villages scattered in the mountains, a large number of mountain people will go hungry every day, and those who can't bear it will take only one day's ration with them to cross the dangerous wilderness to the holy capital, which is their last hope."

The Knights of the Round Table, who guarded the Holy Capital, advertised that as long as they entered the Holy Capital, they would no longer have to worry about the difficult life, and that those who passed through the Holy Rank could get the rich and peaceful life they longed for in this ideal country.

"Ideal Township......

Seeing the thoughtful look on Lu Xiao's face, Bai Xiang waved his hand and reminded: "It's just the words of the Knights of the Round Table, no one knows what the specific situation is in the Holy Capital, and none of those who are lucky enough to enter the Holy Capital have ever come out." ”

Lu Xiao: "Okay, I have a general understanding of the situation in the Holy Capital, what about the Pharaonic forces in the desert?" Did you ever have a conflict with the Sphinx? ”

"Hah!"

The corners of Baixiang's mouth hooked up a hint of mockery: "Those two arrogant pharaohs are better to get along with than the Lion King." ”

"As long as they were able to reach the Great Temple through the winds and sands on the periphery, Pharaoh would recognize the efforts of the refugees and accept them as members of Egypt under the protection of the Pharaoh."

"It's easy to say, but most of the people who enter the desert get lost in the wind and sand and fail to find the right place for the pyramid."

Bai Maung said with some resentment: "We originally planned to join forces with the Egyptian forces to deal with the Knights of the Round Table of the Lion King, but the Pharaoh had no interest in our proposal. ”

"'If you are not interested in joining forces with the weak, you will continue to hide in the mountains like rats and wait for the final outcome'...... That's what he said. ”

Lu Xiao shook his head amusedly: "This arrogant tone is indeed very similar to the style of the Pharaoh. ”

'But I'm afraid you've offended someone you can't afford to mess with, pull two, is your neck okay? ’

……

Fujimaru: "??? ”

Matthew: "??? ”

Fujimaru Rika turned her head to look at Leonardo da Vinci who was half-squinting in amazement: "Just now, the pharaoh's neck seems to have slipped a little?" ”

Matthew hurriedly nodded for approval: "Sure enough, right?" I thought I was wrong. ”

"What are you muttering about?."

Osmandis calmly realigned his head and neck that had slipped down: "How can a person's neck slide, magician of the observatory, you are overworked...... Yes. ”

Before Osmandis could finish his words, his neck slipped sideways again.

This time, even Nitokris couldn't pretend not to see it, and she deliberately changed the subject loudly.

"Impudent, don't gag in front of Pharaoh."

"The great Pharaoh still has a lot of work to do, so ask the questions you want to know as soon as possible."

Although they were curious about the strange shape of the pharaoh's neck, the other party tried every possible way to cover it up, making it clear that he didn't want to tell them the truth.

Fujimaru Rika changed the subject with interest and continued to ask questions about Solomon the Magic King and the Holy Grail.

"The Holy Grail?"

Osmandis picked up a golden cup from the throne and chuckled proudly at Fujimaru and the others in the audience: "Is this what you said?" ”

"This cup was used by the fools of the Crusaders to summon the Heroic Spirits, and unfortunately, they summoned Yu, and as punishment for the invaders, Yu took the Holy Grail from them."

"As for Solomon, the king of magic that you mentioned...... Heh~ That guy never showed up from beginning to end, just arranged a poor puppet to cause trouble in the world. ”

Osmandis rested his head on the armrest with one hand, and placed the chalice on the armrest of the throne.

"Although there was a big error between the development of events and the prediction of the Magic King, in terms of results, the world has become a peculiar point as he wished."

"And the source of this peculiarity is in the Holy Capital King City, which is guarded by many knights."

Rika Fujimaru quickly understood the words of Ottomandis: "The Lion King. ”

"That's right."

"Alright, that's all I can give you."

Osmandis closed his eyes and refused to talk again: "Nitokris, send them out." ”

"Guardians of Renli, you will definitely go to the Holy Capital to clear the root of the peculiarity anyway, so use your eyes to see the true face of the Lion King."

……

"You want to see the first Lord?"

Lu Xiao's request made Bai Xiang show an idiot expression: "Do you think you have lived too long?" ”

"In the oral accounts of the Western pagans that have been passed down from generation to generation, the first adults are seen as the embodiment of the Angel of Death, Yazlar, and everyone who sees him will be the first to be baptized by death."

"I won't stop you if you must go, but be mentally prepared in advance."

Bai Xiang turned his head and pointed to the distant eastern mountains: "The Evening Bell Temple where the first generation of adults lived is at the top of that mountain, before you set off, I still hope you can think about it carefully." ”

Lu Xiao knew that Bai Xiang was reminded many times out of good intentions, and nodded to Bai Xiang with a smile and thanked: "Thank you for your advice, I still have an agreement to be reached, and I will not go to the Evening Bell Temple immediately." ”

"But you, the offensive of the Knights of the Round Table is intensifying step by step, how long do the Assasin Order plan to hide in the mountains?"

Baixiang smiled bitterly: "What can you do if you don't hide?" Our strength alone is no match for the Knights of the Round Table. ”

"I had thought about kidnapping the female pharaoh to force the Egyptian forces to join forces with us, but given the Sun King's arrogant and protective nature, I couldn't do it."

Bai Xiang looked at Lu Xiao meaningfully: "I still can't give much trust to the human security agency you said, I hope you can convince me with practical actions and persuade all Hassan." ”

In terms of results, Lu Xiao's goal of obtaining intelligence was achieved, but the goal of the goodwill alliance was only half completed.

Baixiang guards the hundreds of residents of Xizhi Village, and she can't gamble the lives of the whole village just because of Lu Xiao's previous rescue.

Before seeing the actual actions of the Chaldeans, Bai Xiang planned to continue to wait and see, on the one hand, to observe the character and strength of the Chaldeans, and on the other hand, he also had the idea of letting them consume the combat power of the Knights of the Round Table.

Seeing Lu Xiao riding the giant eagle and gradually moving away, Baixiang's face showed a trace of doubt.

"I always feel that there is some kind of familiar 'smell' in him, is it my delusion?"
