Chapter 0329: The Secrets of the Iron Curtain
Outside the Chill Wind City, there was a surge of people, and thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at the surrounding clearing. A pool of blood was slowly spreading, and the originally majestic Knight Harding was no longer breathing. The murderer who killed him also cooled his blood, and he was all stunned when the wind blew it.
The scene was solemn, only the sound of breathing. The onlookers stood on tiptoe but did not dare to come out. A few untouchables really killed the noble lord, and they did something that ordinary people would not dare to think of, which is incredible.
"This is blasphemy!" Lehman, as the powerful man of Coldwind City, is extremely intolerable. He felt a chill to the bone, and kept shouting. The other knights around him also looked angry. How could a noble superior die at the hands of a pariah?
"These five untouchables must be put to death." Lehman's sallow face flushed, unable to contain his anger. He rode his horse and rushed to Zhou Qingfeng, "Your Excellency Hugo, how can you, as a nobleman, accept such a terrible thing?"
Harding has conceded defeat and is willing to pay the ransom. But your soldiers brutally killed him, which is a great blasphemy and violation of the rule of law. ”
The seriously injured Alpha was carried off the field by several personal guards, and the soldier who took the initiative to stand up was already in his death. He was so badly injured that he couldn't be saved when he looked at it. The other four guards seemed to realize what they had done at this moment, and they all knelt down.
Regardless of whether it was a guard or a guard, there was silence. This is a posture to be disposed of, after all, it is a great crime for a pariah to kill a nobleman, and it will never be forgiven. This is a tradition for decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years, and it is the law.
Under the attention of everyone, Zhou Qingfeng turned over and dismounted. Kelly knew what he was going to do at a glance, shaking her head and sighing. Healy hurriedly took a small box from the back of the 'Shadow' and pulled out a bottle of 'healing potion'.
"Your Excellency, what are you doing here, don't you maintain the glory and dignity of the nobles?" Lehman also wanted to stop Zhou Qingfeng. Just glared at Healy, he didn't dare to step forward.
Zhou Qingfeng squatted down and opened the cap of the blue 'healing potion'. The fallen Alpha opened his eyes like a flashback, and shook his lips, but only blood came out. The latter was lifted up, and wow spat out a mouthful of blood, even more depressed.
Alpha's mouth was pinched open and the potion poured in.
Lehman was still exclaiming, "Such a precious thing is used on a pariah? ”
The power of the magic was working, and the alpha's faint breathing gradually stabilized, and his collapsed chest quickly calmed again. In the invisible chest and abdomen, the bleeding organ is again functioning normally.
Wow, the sound of surprise replaced all kinds of doubts and shocks, and the multiple reversals of the situation made more people inexplicably excited. Zhou Qingfeng instructed several armed men to carry the wounded into the carriage, and then sneered at Lehman
"You just duel me, didn't you? I don't care about the ransom, you don't have any money anyway. So far, anyone who provokes me will have to die. That's my rule, and I can't break it. ”
Putting the words down, Zhou Qingfeng led the team into the city. Marbury looked at Harding, who was lying on the ground and getting cooler, and didn't know whether to be sad or excited. He rode behind Uncle Zhou and whispered, "Your Excellency Lehman is going to die of anger." ”
"What about being angry? If you have the ability, you can take revenge. Zhou Qingfeng said casually, "Maybe your father is willing to borrow my hand to get rid of the hidden dangers of your family." ”
"What?" Marbury was speechless with surprise.
After entering the city, he naturally went to visit the city lord. Zhou Qingfeng didn't care if His Excellency Lehman was so angry that he exploded, or he waited for revenge, he directly led the team to the City Lord's Mansion of the Longleg Family.
The long-legged mansion is not very big, and the interior decoration is quite luxurious. Kelly and the others accompanied Zhou Qingfeng in, and they were amazed when they saw all kinds of exquisite devices and supplies. Just a few landscape decorations in the living room made them linger.
The venue for the meeting between the two sides was placed in the garden of the mansion, but the flowers in the garden withered and the fountain stopped, and there was no money to continue to maintain the magical barrier that separated the inside and outside, and only kept a conservatory.
Marbury led the way until he brought Zhou Qingfeng to his father. The long-legged lanken of the lanken in the conservatory was covered with a woolen blanket. He gestured up to the small table in front of him
"Sit down, magical Victor Hugo. My injuries are not yet healed and I can't stand up to greet them. Your actions today are beyond my expectations, and the expressions on the faces of the servants as they relay them are indescribable. But I'm very happy to have you here. ”
It is rumored that the old man's long legs are terminally ill, but he looks good when he sees him in person. Zhou Qingfeng sat down as he said and looked at the other party with interest. The servant brought a cup of hot tea and a few plates of pastries, and they all withdrew, leaving Marbury to serve herself.
"Your Excellency, you are not as miserable as the outside world describes. I thought you were going to die. Zhou Qingfeng took a sip of tea and felt that it tasted good. The nobles of the Northland are really extravagant, and the sugar in the tea is so sweet.
The old long-legged smiled bitterly, "I call you Victor, don't mind." The situation in the Northland is chaotic right now, and you must have a lot of doubts. We can talk about this at all, and if you have any doubts, just ask. I don't hide it. ”
"Any questions?" Zhou Qingfeng's eyes condensed, "What is the Iron Curtain?" ”
The old long leg was smiling and holding the tea, and his hand froze. Marbury was a little deranged on the side, and neither father nor son expected Zhou Qingfeng to ask bizarrely.
"It's not a loss, it's young, it's vibrant." The elder longleg sighed, "I thought you were more concerned about the situation in Coldwind City, or the situation in the Northlands. But you ask the 'Iron Curtain.'" Well, I said that there is nothing to talk about, and what we also have is time. ”
Marbury interjected and asked, "Dear Lord Hugo, how could you have wondered what the Iron Curtain is?" ”
"Does no one care about that?" Zhou Qingfeng asked rhetorically.
The long-legged father and son were suddenly gloomy, they didn't care, they were used to it.
Zhou Qingfeng continued: "I want to leave the Northland, leave this ghost place. ”
Marbury turned to surprise, "Your Excellency Hugo, you don't want to occupy a city in the Northlands?" ”
Hahaha, Zhou Qingfeng laughed. The old longleg laughed as well, and Marbury laughed to himself at the end. The latter two laughed and laughed and burst into tears, and the old long legs seemed to be touched by something, and they pounded the table and scolded hatefully
"Leave, we want to leave this hellish place, but we can't go anywhere! My grandfather was 'Longlegs' Levin, a hero who fought against demons, but I, as his grandson, became a jailer and a prisoner.
My grandfather's exploits saved humanity, but they were rewarded with betrayal, fraud, and mockery. The bastards in the South played us like fools, they kept us in lockdown, fearing us and hating us. ”
The old long leg smashed down with a fist, and the wooden table next to the recliner clattered and turned into pieces. The guards and Kelly and others rushed in when they heard the noise, and only retreated again when they realized that it was just a misunderstanding.
Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the broken wood all over the ground, just fortunately he was quick, so he managed to save his cup of tea. He now has nowhere to put his teacup in his hand, so he can only take a small sip and rest it on the ground.
"It sounds like a long story. But you're right, we have time to talk. I'm curious to know what has happened to the Northland in the last 50 years? What is the attitude of the South towards us now? ”
The old long leg sighed, and said with a gloomy expression, "What I'm going to talk about next is a secret story that is passed on by word of mouth and not recorded. This was originally a secret that the Seventeen Northland Castle Lords kept secret, but now this secret has long become a joke. ”
Zhou Qingfeng immediately sat upright, serious and serious.
"It is rumored that more than a thousand years ago, a group of elves from Yongju Island founded Silver Leaf City in the Northlands. The elves had been expelled from the Isle of Eternal Gathering, and their leader was an elven prophet who had been condemned as a heretic. ”
The voice of the old long legs wafted melodiously in the greenhouse. When the words 'heresy' and 'elven prophet' appeared, Zhou Qingfeng felt a little strange in the 'Gate of True Knowledge' he was wearing on his chest. He frowned in confusion
The old long-legged scolded with hatred, "Victor, what is the Iron Curtain, you ask?" I'll tell you. The Iron Curtain is a plane, a half-plane that invades the main material realm. It was stuck in the sky above the Northland, an enclosed space tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
The Iron Curtain didn't appear 50 years ago, it appeared a thousand years ago. It's always been small, and everyone doesn't care much about it, just as if there are more stars in the sky.
But fifty years ago, the Iron Curtain suddenly expanded and enveloped the Northland. Rumors have it that the demons built the Iron Curtain. But it was actually the elven prophet in Silverleaf City who did it.
We don't know much about the Elven Prophet, whose true identity has always been a mystery. All we know is that it once had one name – Marcos. ”
