68. For the benefit of the family and the country
The twin demon envoy shouted, "Why.... Will there be two hermits? Didn't you say there was only one? β
Baudelaire said, "I don't understand why you rats are so persistent? But I always feel that you are a group of poor chess pieces, what are the chess players going to do when they throw you to death? β
Hottie pursed her lips and said, "We are not outcasts!" We are martyrs! β
Baudelaire's smile was so kind that it was hard to associate him with the head of the High Court of Prison, who did all kinds of evil. He said, "Your armor, swords, and explosives can only be done by those who are strong in the dungeon." Such a person is at least a marquis, and one of the few who is shrewd and capable. He knows your strength, and he also knows the background of our duke, if you are not an outcast, why didn't he come in person? β
I think Baudelaire was right when he said that Bostetes did treat Hutty as an outcast, and even though Hotty was his adopted daughter, he didn't care.
In addition to this battlefield, he also arranged the rest of the sabotage operations at the same time, and for what purpose?
He's creating chaos, stretching Benza's energy and leaving the Nine Hermits exhausted.
If Baudelaire does not come, and Neve Hegemony escapes again, he will also hide for a while, and will not be easily seen. Because he knew that there was a powerful force against him, and he had to be careful to save his life. I'm sure Baudelaire would do the same, he doesn't know who that opponent really isβa hidden marquis? Or the enemy of the Nine Hermits?
Even if this raid was unsuccessful, Bostex would have been able to make the two dukes disappear for a while.
Baudelaire instantly appeared in front of Hotty, and with a click, Hotty's helmet snapped in two. Hotty screamed "ahhhhhh Baudelaire's index knuckle snapped, and Hotty's sword and armor shattered, tearing his clothes apart, revealing snow-white skin. She was so frightened that she forgot to cover it with her hand.
This old thief.... It's good at creating welfare, and Hottie is too... It's a good idea, but I think I've seen it somewhere? Strange, I'm not the kind of person who peeps a lot, where did I see it?
The demon made a sudden cold arrow, sending out a few nails, as fast as a bullet, but Baudelaire disappeared into thin air, and the demon made the skull shatter.
Baudelaire was still in front of Horty, and even I couldn't see his movements.
He said to Hotty: "You are familiar, but I'm sorry, I'm old, and some people see it and forget it." Have you ever attended a ceremony at the High Court Gate? β
Salvador used his remaining strength to launch a torrent and slash with his sword, but Baudelaire stood still, and Salvador's sword was about three or four centimeters off.
Baudelaire also split Salvador's helmet, his face changed suddenly, and he said, "You are Longinus's brother-in-law?" The manipulator behind the scenes is the Black Coffin Juggernaut? β
Salvatore shouted: "Yes! β
Why is this kid throwing dirty water on my head? I'm really a day dog.... No, no, I didn't scold Lamia, and it's a good thing, the High Court Prison Gate is a bunch of scum, and it is good to eradicate them to my reputation.
Baudelaire did not strip El Salvador of his armor, which shows that he does not treat men and women equally, and treats them equally, why only take off women and not men? Should men and women be treated differently? Of course, I don't want El Salvador to be wiped out, I just have a feminist heart.
I got rid of my distractions and tried to understand Baudelaire's appearance, why did he disappear? Could it be that all he shows is an illusion?
No, it's not like it is, it's not.
Just listen to Baudelaire: "There is no good in lying, the bloody violence against us began years ago, when you were not in the Sword and Shield Society. The Black Coffin Sword Master doesn't know anything about it, I've lived for more than a hundred years, and liars can't hide it from me! He grabbed Salvador's neck and lifted him effortlessly.
He wants to kill everyone, he has to do it, the prison gate of the High Court is not allowed to be done in the world, and even his status as a duke is difficult to exempt.
Of course I should rush out to save people, only I can defeat Baudelaire, but the wandering knights present will recognize me, and once I get involved with them, things get complicated and it will not end well. After all, this group of people is considered criminals in the Sword and Shield Society, and there are many people, and they will never keep it a secret for me.
What's more, Bostetus has another big deal, helping the wandering knight is equivalent to helping Bostetus, and it is equivalent to helping Yegri, and then things will become a headache.
There was a dead wandering knight beside me, and I could barely wear his armor, but the armor was too ugly, it didn't fit my identity, and it challenged my taste, so I found a dead High Court disciple and put on his white robe with the armor, and it became a patchwork mix-and-match style, which looked very trendy, and I could reluctantly accept it.
After all, clothes depend on the person who wears them, and a natural hanger like me has a figure.....
Don't worry about these details, you must save people now! Immediately! Right away!
I approached Baudelaire with great speed, and at one point I noticed a subtle difference, and as I approached him, his position shifted.
The shift was so natural that it was difficult to grasp or even detect, and two seconds later, Baudelaire mysteriously appeared two meters away. He still carried El Salvador, so much so that there was a displacement phenomenon in El Salvador.
It's not a reading blade, it's an artifact.
He's confusing me about his sense of place.
Even Odin's Eye couldn't tell exactly where he was, and the smells, sounds, and sights were all messed up. He was far away, but he looked close, he was obviously on the left, but he actually had to be half a meter to the right.
It's trickier than dealing with the Invisible Man, because he's always giving off illusions. This ability seems inconspicuous, but with superb swordsmanship, it makes him extremely deadly!
He was already at my side, slashing at me with a sword, if it weren't for the fact that I used the Iron Lotus to protect my body at all times, and the blade was strong, he would have made me lose my head.
Baudelaire took a few steps back and stabbed my sword, but the sword fell above my head, and I immediately launched an extinction, flames and electricity surging like a tsunami, and Baudelaire snorted and got out of the range of extinction.
He has a weakness in this move, because his offset is about one to two meters, in other words, I only need to attack with a wide area, and he can't dodge. However, the wider the cover of the far wave, the more likely it is to produce flaws.
He asked, "It's been a long time since anyone has blocked my sword, and you are the main messenger behind them?" β
I muffled and replied, "Exactly." β
Baudelaire smiled: "But you also revealed your own identity, don't you realize it?" β
I was taken aback, but I was calm enough to ask, "Identity?" β
"Bostetus, you beat Messey in the final, you think you can hide it from me?"
Hotty was stunned and shouted, "Father? β
I wanted to laugh, but I could only hold back and answer: "Good daughter, don't panic, I will love you, dear, mua." β
Hottie frowned, obviously suspicious of me. I was shocked, and I turned around and replied, "I don't need to hide it." β
Baudelaire returned the sword to its sheath and said, "Well, now that you have arrived, I have a proposal, how about we shake hands and make peace?" β
I said, "What the High Court Prison Gate has done is intolerable, I will kill you, and no one can stop me." β
Baudelaire said: "I stick to my proposal, let's talk. Suddenly, Baudelaire's figure came from all directions, even in the air, and it was an upside-down Baudelaire, and every Baudelaire movement was exactly the same.
It's a phantom.
None of them are true.
Hotty suddenly realized and said, "Father, you once said that Baudelaire's artifact 'Evil Love Letter' allowed him to grasp the phenomenon of spatial disorder, which is.... Evil love letters? β
Spatial dislocation? I see.
Baudelaire looked around and said, "Looking at this scene, who can say that parallel spaces do not exist?" There may be a myriad of different mes, and at this moment, each of them has extremely subtle differences, and the 'evil love letter' shows the faces of these lovers. How do you tell the truth from the fake? So, brother, don't rush to fight and kill, let us sit down and have a glass of wine like the leaders of two countries, and talk about peace after war. β
He added: "I will reduce the activities of the High Court Prison Gate and limit it to one ceremony per year. And, from now on, I will care for the well-being of those mothers, so that they and their children can have no worries about food and clothing. Such a big concession is all for the sake of you being my colleague, and I have shown my sincerity, what do you think? My comrades-in-arms? β
I replied, "That's not a question you should ask me." β
Baudelaire laughed, "Aren't you the shepherd of this flock?" Aren't you a trainer for this group of dogs? β
I said, "When I can still see anger in their eyes, when their clenched fists are still bleeding, when they are still clenching their teeth and angry, I know I have no right to forgive you for them." You have committed countless sins and caused countless tragedies, and only your tragic death can comfort the descendants and relatives of those sacrifices, and only then can they find peace. β
Baudelaire said, "Do you know? The artifacts of our Nine Hermits were not made by humans, they all originally belonged to fallen angels, also known as demons! We have been using the power of demons for the benefit of humanity. However, the devil will ask for the price, just as only those who have gone through war can cherish peace, and what we have done in the prison gate of the High Court has been exchanging the minimum price for the greatest benefit! Neff, Norman, Fu Shen, and Smoke, these rare swordsmanship wizards in the world all have the blood of Neferem, I have cultivated generations of talents for the Sword and Shield Society, and I am the one who maintains this peace!
Do you only think about revenge? Your thinking and pattern are too narrow! The Epoch Empire wishes that our Sword and Shield Society will kill each other internally, think about the interests of the motherland, think about our ideals! Think of Your Majesty to whom we have pledged allegiance! β
I said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but there is one thing that has strengthened my determination to kill you." β
Baudelaire became gloomy and sneered, "What's the matter? You say come and hear it? β
I picked up the sword from the ground and said, "My precious daughter and good son-in-law let me kill you, then there is no possibility of forgiving you, there is no one at all." β
