368 Chief Cardinal, Guarantee to Complete the Mission!【Ask for a Monthly Pass Recommendation Ticket】
At this moment, Hathaway's heart should be extremely weak, and her trust in Richie has reached its highest point.
A strange sense of déjà vu rose in his mind, and Li Qi believed that he would definitely think about this scene often in the future, and he couldn't help but think about it.
If he could hold Hathaway at this time, things must have turned out differently, right?
He couldn't hold Hathaway after all, and it had nothing to do with his personal wishes.
Hathaway threw herself into her arms and cried loudly. When snot and tears were wiped on his chest, he realized that it had long been occupied by disgusting stains. The sad mood was interrupted by an uncontrollable physiological response, and the crying stopped abruptly, and she left his embrace.
To be honest, it was very scenic, but it wasn't without a positive effect, at least she calmed down.
Hathaway wiped her tears and asked casually, "...... are you?"
"This?"
Li Qi sighed: "It was Sakhina who vomited." ”
Hathaway was stunned: "Sakhina?"
She finally remembered that there was another person: "Where is she?"
Li Qi glanced around, his gaze stopped somewhere, and said lightly, "It's dead." ”
The body was buried in a mess of masonry not far away, revealing arms and legs far apart.
Hathaway also saw it, and sighed faintly: "She can actually hold on to this." ”
Then she said pityingly, "She also has a five-year-old sister, and I will train her sister to be a contract magician." ”
Li Qi frowned slightly, and said in as natural a tone as possible: "Five years old, it is the age when you are just beginning to be sensible, yes, give it to me." ”
"Richie ......"
Hathaway gave him a blank look, although his face was stained with tears and scars, he was still beautiful: "I didn't expect you to have such a fetish, it's disgusting!"
Li Qi didn't defend either, and said jokingly: "Compared with magicians, the nobles' little fetishes are nothing." ”
Hathaway turned her head: "You...... Don't think about it! You don't have a face, I still want a face. ”
For magicians and nobles, the matter of transferring slaves is as natural as drinking water, and how the new master treats the slave has nothing to do with the original owner, why does it make you lose face?
"Richie, thank you", Hathaway looked at him again, and her silver eyes were full of gratitude: "I also know that what you have done is far from being reciprocated by a thank you, but it has to start here." ”
"Don't you hate me?"
Li Qi looked at the crack in the zenith: "If Shadow City is still there, your mother is still alive." ”
"This thought is not without thought", Hathaway said bitterly, "but it is not what my mother wants, she has always longed for freedom, longing for the Shadow City and the past thousand years of misery to disappear, longing for me to be truly free, I ......"
She choked up a little again: "It's the first time I've seen her return to the way she was young, it's so beautiful, I'm a country girl compared to her." Mother she was very happy, I could feel it. Growing up, I've never seen her so happy, and I'm happy for her, although ......"
She snorted, thought of something, and her tone was a little stiff: "I complained about you just now, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to make my mother happy." ”
Li Qi scratched his head: "Sorry, I didn't do well enough." ”
Hathaway said again: "You don't have to take Mother's words to heart......"
Li Qi nodded knowingly: "Of course......"
Hathaway's tone changed suddenly, and she was actually a little annoyed: "How can that be a matter of course? Are you just trying to make my mother happy?"
Li Qi was a little inexplicable, and the secret woman's heart was really a needle under the sea......
"Let's talk about it later, when everything is over, we have time, and there are still too many things to do", Hathaway realized that she was a little out of shape, and changed the subject: "It should still be a mess up there, I have to deal with this mess." ”
"Yes, we have time in the future. ”
Richie agrees, and he is anxious to join up with Phine-Elle.
Most of the corrupted divine power condensed into the dark magic net had dissipated, and even the half of the huge snake body hanging from the zenith could be seen clearly. Hathaway uses a flying spell to take Richie and Tina to the Shadow City, where she teleports back to the Floating Fleet herself.
At the entrance to the Undercity, Li Qi was very happy to see his witch and his subordinates, including the two demon warriors, Dresser and Kramer.
"Goddess Goddess!
"The goddess is so beautiful!"
"Gun...... Hit ......"
The three witches chirped and shouted about the goddess goddess, but fortunately Ellie didn't have the strength to summon the parrot, otherwise Li Qi would have been surrounded by five hundred loli.
Li Qi's heart trembled: "You also saw the goddess?"
Not only the witch nodded, but even Gambit and the others nodded solemnly.
Little Red Riding Hood, you're embarrassed......
Li Qi thought indignantly, your immoral outfit actually let everyone see it!
Gambit continued: "It's just a ball of light, but you can feel the greatness and kindness of the goddess. ”
Finney excitedly said, "I can see my face! I'm going to be like that when I grow up!"
Tina also said that she only saw her face vaguely, and Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and actually forgot about this setting.
That's right, when he first came down to earth, it was just a projection of divine power, and he couldn't look at it directly. Now that the main body has descended, except for the witch who can see a little more, the other clergy can only see a bright light like the sun.
Gambit asked again: "Cardinal, what do we do next?"
"Find a place to rest, watch a play, and then pick up our new partner," Richie said. ”
Everyone will be very tired, and when they are recoiled, they will go to pick up the witch Vicky, who is still being held in the Mildern family prison. Let's talk about the rest when Hathaway cleans up the mess.
Just as he was about to lead the team away, the arrival of a group of people made Li Qi realize that there was something related to him.
These people respectfully saluted Rich, and the bandage man Vance said, "Duke, now you should believe that you are the son of the dawn, right?"
Moshiu said in a trembling tone, "Duke...... No, Your Highness, everyone in Shadow City will be grateful to you, there are already craftsmen carving your idol!"
Do you still miss the Children of the Dawn......
Looking at the joy and exhilaration, on the faces of these leaders of the Night Society and the Dawn Society, Litchie was also pleased, even more so than Hathaway would have been happy to say thank you to him. In them, Richie saw the light of the soul called "Liberation".
Li Qi thought for a moment and gave a brief explanation of the situation in the underground city.
Hathaway and the magicians of the Storm Isles may ...... No, certainly not happy for such a secret to be spread, but Litchie believes that the civilians of Shadow City, who are treated like CPU coolers or nuclear reactor shields, have a right to know the truth. As for Hathaway's displeasure with the other magicians, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Knowing Gwyntoline's true identity, and seeing Hathaway-Misley and Gwyntoline's true colors in the mirage shown by Richie, Vance and the others were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while.
After a long time, Vance sighed, "We blamed the old woman...... No, Holy Maiden. ”
"What's next for you?"
Li Qi made a sincere suggestion: "Now that the Underground City has been destroyed and the barrier of the Shadow City has failed, I think your current focus is to unite and stabilize order, and prepare to negotiate with the magicians. ”
"With such preparations, the Dawn Society is already underway," Van Si said calmly, "We will have another mission in the night." ”
He pointed to the bottom of a magic tower in the distance and said, "That's the bottom of the control tower, and we're ready to destroy it." While the barrier was still there, we weren't so sure it would work. Now that the barrier is gone, we're sure we'll be able to kill it!"
"What!?"
Li Qi's heart was shocked, you still want to blow up the tower?
The magic tower that stood near the central square of Shadow City was located near the rift. The original protective barrier at the bottom of the magic tower had disappeared, and the light of Silver City was projected, revealing the blue-gray color of the rock.
Li Qi wanted to say that this revolution in the Storm Islands was driven by Menesus's terrorist conspiracy, so that all parties could work together, and it gave Little Red Riding Hood the opportunity to destroy the Dark Demon Web and break the barrier of Shadow City.
This level of destruction has exceeded the expectations of the main class of the Storm Islands, that is, the magicians, to the limit of what they can bear. By the time Hathaway took advantage of this change to clean up the forces that opposed the Storm Islands and joined the Alliance of Order, the revolution would come to an end.
This is not a good time for the people of Shadow City to continue to wreak havoc, it will change the nature of the revolution, and the magicians will work together to suppress it.
The Dark Demon Network is gone, and there is no need for mages to maintain the barriers of Shadow City, Hathaway, who sympathizes with the civilians of Shadow City, will definitely become the new leader of the Storm Islands, and the best choice for the people of Shadow City should be to be quiet and share the fruits of the revolution with progressive mages.
Of course, the people of Shadow City should only get some scum, but at least the treatment can be greatly improved. Now is not the time for everyone to rise up and overthrow slavery, the time is far from ripe.
"Your Highness, this is your teaching", Vance looked at Richie, his bloodshot blue eyes gleaming. Although the spirit seemed extremely excited, the words were unusually calm: "Only the blood and lives of the rebels can impress the slave owners and make them afraid." ”
He pointed to the magic tower: "That tower is not only a symbol of the oppression of the people of Shadow City for thousands of years, but also stores all kinds of materials about the barrier of Shadow City. If it is not destroyed, it will not take much effort for the mage to restore the barrier of Shadow City. ”
"Your Highness and the Goddess have broken this barrier, and the old woman's daughter, hmm...... She's also a saint, and she'll probably be on our side, and the magicians won't restore this barrier, and the people of Shadow City will have a much better time in the future. But if they wanted to restore this barrier, the people of Shadow City didn't have the slightest power to stop them. ”
The bandage on Vance's face twisted, and he should have laughed, "No amount of strength can stop them, but we think that at least the magician will think about how this tower was destroyed when he is ready to do this." The first thing that comes to mind is that the civilians of Shadow City have told them with their flesh and blood that there will inevitably be resistance. ”
"For thousands of years, Shadow City has been resisting, and the Control Tower has been blown up. Thinking of such history, the magician will scruples, calculate the gains and losses, and finally retreat. ”
Next to him, Moshiwu coughed and said, "We are not as complicated as the boss thinks, we only know that this is the night meeting...... No, it's the Dawning Society, an ideal that has been passed down for thousands of years by all the people of Shadow City, and it's the goal of those of us who join the Night Society. Now there's a chance to get it done, so why not do it?"
"This tower is the scepter of sin, and there is no reason for it to continue to exist!"
A deep female voice sounded, it was quicksilver, she didn't speak in the back, she looked at Li Qi silently, and at this time she also stood up: "Three years ago, I was sent to Shadow City by the High Council to carry out a mission to exterminate the mouth. Because I hesitated to kill a few children, I was listed as an unreliable person by my boss and wanted to hand me over to the laboratory, and I escaped to Shadow City. ”
"From that moment on, I saw myself as a part of the Shadow City, and the Control Tower as an evil being that oppressed me, as a crime I had committed. I could get out of control without replacing my bone marrow, but then I wouldn't be able to use my power anymore. In order to blow it up, I am willing to trade my life for a chance with a maximum of three years left. ”
She smiled at Li Qiyingying and said, "This opportunity was originally very slim, and I didn't expect much, but you brought such a dawn." ”
Wait a minute......
Ignoring the feasibility of blowing up the tower and the reaction of the magician, why are you talking about this in such a tragic tone?
Richie looked at Van Si and conveyed the question just by looking at him.
"Your Highness is now qualified to know about our plans", Van Si pulled out a box and handed it over, "This is also a gift we want to give you." ”
When I opened it, there were a few pale green beads inside, which were somewhat familiar. It's not that I've seen it before, but it seems that I've learned it.
"Be careful not to damage the protective film on the surface," says Vance, "this is the magic gel, and the quicksilver has been used on you. ”
Ah, that's it!
Richie remembered that when she fought Quicksilver at the Mosheu Inn, her belt had fired several of these beads into her body, which could quickly absorb her divine power and become as heavy as a lead.
Vance explained, "My father invented this, and it was used by the Demon Warriors as a weapon to weaken and bind their enemies. ”
Dresser couldn't help but interject: "No wonder your father was ...... It's a terrible thing. ”
"You're just using ordinary magic gel, this is what we've improved in the night", Fan Si's tone was faintly complacent, obviously he was also one of the improvers: "Ordinary magic gel will only become heavier after absorbing power, and there is a limit to the power absorbed, and there will be no reaction if you exceed the limit." After the improvement, the magic gel will become larger after absorbing power, and it will ...... when it exceeds the limit."
He made an explosive gesture, and Li Qi secretly gasped, isn't this the magic guide explosive he was looking for~ Medicine!?
Dress's face changed: "But ......"
Vance understood what he was going to say: "However, there must be direct contact in order to absorb the power. ”
Li Qi's heart was shocked, and he understood why these people had such expressions.
They all have to die!
"No...... There should be other ways......"
Litchie has been persuaded by Van S to take control of the tower and must be destroyed.
But the price was the lives of all of them, and he still couldn't accept it, and subconsciously wanted to find an alternative.
Vance sighed, "Perhaps, but there is no time." ”
"Duke!?"
"Cardinal!"
"Richie!?"
Dress, Gambitt, and even Finney all looked at Richie and called out to him.
Li Qi understood that they wanted to stop themselves, and they couldn't see these people to die with their own eyes.
He asked with difficulty, "Is there really no other way?"
Fan Si and the others shook their heads slowly......
There were floating ships passing above the rift, and the fleet led by Hathaway had arrived in Silver City, and Li Qi sighed, there was indeed no time.
Richie glanced at them one by one, Vans, who was burned for attacking him, Quicksilver, who fought with him and was almost killed, Red Corner, who did it with Elle but didn't get a bargain, and Moshwu, who was an old friend of Dress......
His tone was unusually heavy: "I...... I'm sorry I can't do anything for you at a time like this. ”
"You've done more......"
"You once said that the revolution can only be ...... on its own"
"Our blood is shed for ourselves, and there is no regret at all!"
"Whew!"
The firm words of Van Si and the others not only made Li Qi's heart ripple, but the chests of the witches and the crimson warriors were hot and rolling.
"I see......"
Li Qi nodded solemnly: "What I can do is to try not to let your efforts be abandoned halfway, and not to let your sacrifices be in vain." ”
This should be the purpose of Van Si and the others coming to him, and they were all relieved to hear him say this.
"So...... We're leaving!"
Vance took the men and bowed deeply to Richie again.
Rich couldn't say anything more: "Let's go ......"
Elle next to her suddenly rose tall and turned into a silver-armored warrior Catherine, which startled everyone, and only the half-demon Red Horn screamed excitedly.
Catherine's greatsword was pointed on the shoulder of the red horn: "Fight!"
The red horn responded: "Whoa!"
Richie said again: "Van Si, I haven't seen what you look like. ”
Fan Si spread his hands: "I'm like this now, I can't see anything at all except scary." ”
"It's okay, I can know who you really are", restoring a burned face to its original appearance is nothing more than a gesture for Mirage Workshop's special effects studio.
Van Si didn't hesitate, untied the bandage, revealing a hideous face.
Everyone gasped, and Finnein screamed even more.
Li Qi closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he nodded with a smile like an old acquaintance: "I remember." ”
You don't need to use any special effects studio, the face that was burned more terrible than the bark man, slightly restored, spelled out the face of a rather thin and somewhat shy young man.
"It's my honor to be remembered by the Duke," Vance said, wrapping himself in a bandage and bowing deeply.
Then he grabbed another person: "Liuyin, if you don't say it now, you won't have a chance." ”
Quicksilver came to Li Qi with a flushed face and tears.
She took a deep breath and said loudly, "Duke...... I, I adore you, I love you!"
"You can stay", Li Qi blinked, unsure if he was really in tears, "Your body, we can figure it out." ”
"Thank you, Duke, I have been preparing for today since the day I decided to remove the bone marrow, I can't give up", Liuyin lowered his head and said, "Sorry for lying to you before, what did you say to grow hair and let you ...... Touch, I am afraid that you will notice it at that time, and it will affect our plan, and now ......"
Her silvery-white metallic skin was already as red as rouge: "You can ...... Touch me?"
Richie gasped deeply and placed his slightly trembling hand on her head.
It's a little weird, but it's ...... Comfortable.
Quicksilver squinted and let out a low moan.
"I ...... It wasn't uncomfortable at all, it was comfortable, thank you for ......"
Quicksilver dropped the sentence and turned to chase Fans and them.
Li Qi and the others silently watched their backs, and Dresser suddenly said, "I have to go with them......"
Kramer exclaimed, "What do you want to do, old fellow?"
"Someone on the Duke's side has to be with them and keep in touch with them", Kramer pointed to the bracers, "The barrier of Shadow City is gone, and at such a distance, the Bilible Boys can directly communicate with each other." ”
Not only is the barrier gone, but Li Qi also feels that the original layer of suppression in the Storm Islands has also been reduced a lot, the dark magic net has been destroyed, and the layer of the Storm Islands mask has also lost most of its function.
In this environment, Biliba Kid can indeed send and receive messages directly in close proximity.
"I am also a native of the Storm Isles, an oppressed slave, and I am obligated to contribute to the liberation of Shadow City", said Dresser, "and my life is nearing, let me play a role." ”
Richie wanted to say that he would soon get a way to extend the life of the Demon Warrior from Hathaway, but in the face of the Demon Warrior's determined gaze, the words changed to his lips.
He said very seriously: "No, Dress, you are not only from the Storm Islands, but also a member of the Fei Communist Party, our comrade. ”
"Now, I'll send you as a liaison to be with Van Ses and them to make sure their operation is successful!"
"This is the task given to you by the organization, you won't survive, are you confident?"
Dress's eyes were filled with tears, and he held his head high, and saluted like a guard in Epsilon being inspected by Richie, "Male...... No, Cardinal!
Kramer's heart was hot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to ...... too"
"No, you still have a mission," Dressy said with a smile, "Don't forget, you also have to teach the cardinal two-handed swordsmanship." ”
Dressy chased after them, and Richie no longer stopped his tears from flowing, and he exhaled a hot breath full of confidence in the road ahead.
